Roads to Ekweremadu areas.

Ekweremadu loves Enugu. He is confident enough to invest in Enugu, lots of quality buildings, homes, hotels, office complexes, all in Enugu and environs. That mega building rising like a phoenix in the center of Owerri road Enugu. ........... this man is trying. His numerous projects provide jobs for the masses.

Ifeoma Nwobodo has yet to gain public acceptance; There was a rally to try to convince Nkanu indigenes that despite originally being from Udi, she is now married to an Nkanu man and has the liberty to represent Nkanu. On the other hand, Frank Nweke hasn't any identity issues to battle with. His stint as Minister ended well. So, I believe he has the advantage of everything else except incumbency.

My grouse with Gil is that he has neglected his constituency. He might have fixed a few schools at Nike but his ministership is parochial. Nkanu East and West and Isi Uzo has benefited little or nothing from him. And whatever he did at Enugu Urban must be too small because I cant see it. Contrast with Ekweremadu and Ayogu who have attracted vocational schools, SURE-P roads, offered scholarships or built churches.

Nkanu East is home to the popular Unateze dynasty. I think we are yet to exploit this avenue to public acceptance. The Okwesiliezes were able to take advantage of their royalty to clinch political successes.

Can you please remove Ayogu Eze from your list of senators that have achieved something tangible because he has nothing to show for the 7 years he has been in Abuja. He obviously is the worst of the 3. Thank you.

May be you're right.
I'm giving Ayogu an easy pass based on my smooth sail from Nsukka through Imilike Agu and Imilike Uno, Eha Alumona to Obollo Afor. I believe that road continues to Makurdi. It was a SURE-P project.
Ayogu hasn't been exceptional like Ekweremadu, but he has bested Nnaji.

I often go back and forth on my choice for the senate: Ekweremadu or Chime. As Lawmaker and ECOWAS deputy speaker, Ekweremadu is very useful to Igbo interests. Chime has distinguished himself with his characteristic quality infrastructure. Whoever becomes senator among them has deserved it.

However, I had hoped that Chime will give fresh life to agro-allied industries. I was particularly sad when I learned that our Heneke pineapples will be exported to Europe, rather than be processed here. I understand funding is another issue. May be Mark Chidi Obetta will give the agro industry a jump start, since the road infrastructure is largely in place. Don't ask me how I know he'll be governor. (7 years ago I saw the shadow of Chimaroke behind Chime and he won; today I see the shadow of Chime behind Obetta.)

Please stop being so pessimistic over the international terminal project. It will be completed and handed over on schedule in September 2015.The Federal govt is satisfied with the ongoing works and have no issues with the Chinese company handling the project. It has nothing to do with Chime Sullivan hence he leaves office the work continues. Stop looking for obstacles were there are none, for over 40 years after the civil war Enugu was neglected and no international flights landed or took off from the airport until now. The airport will grow mark my words. Cheers

For someone to think the airport will be completed before Chime leaves office, shows that many of us have not accepted the reality of Igboman's second class status in the Zoo called Nigeria.

To even suggest that Chime has not done all he could to ensure the airport was completed means we have not truly appreciated his determination to make Enugu one of Nigeria's most tourists and business attractions. I do not think he needs to be reminded about the importance of the airport to the development of Enugu. If not, why would he waste money to open a new link road to the airport. Building the link road shows that if he were allowed by the federal government, he would equally build the airport.

For many us who live in the fantasy world of one Nigeria, please wake up and face the reality.

Even Jonathan's hand is tied as far as that airport is concerned. The airport poses a non existent threat to the Hausa/Fulani/Yoruba slave masters. They understand how strategic that airport is to the development of Igbo land, which is why they will fight to death to frustrate it's international status.

The airport was accorded international status even before Jonathan came to power but when you search the website of the FAAN, Enugu is still missing as one of the international airports in Nigeria. Everyone here knows how important web information is, when it comes publicising the existence of anything in the modern world.

If the fearless Stella Odua could not add the Enugu as one of the international airports in Nigeria to the FAAN website, is it the so called Chidoka that would.

Has any of you wondered why Ethiopian airline should touch Kano before coming to Enugu? It's because Enugu remains a local airport in reality but international in government paper.

That's the price you pay for being Igbo.

Nnaji Gill, maybe outgoing.

Gud morning

It may even be completed before September, say around June. The Chinese a very fast when it comes to construction.

I hope Chime, and Stella Oduah would be amongst the dignitaries when the terminal is being commissioned

Here in the US, it is estimated that about 1/3 of children aged 12 and below are either overweight or obese; likewise 66% of adults.

Frank Nweke will be the outsider here, Ifeoma has been inside this administration and part controls the party machinery in Enugu. But for the sake of equity, an Nkanu east person is the person supposed to come forward if we are following our rotational/gentleman agreement policy in Enugu politics.

The first senator there was Jim Nwobodo from Nkanu west
The second was Ken Nnamani from Nkanu west
The third was Gil Nnaji from Enugu east

What about my people from Nkanu east? Abandoned, ignored as Ifeoma Nwobodo and Frank Nweke jr. are both from Nkanu west again?

Dia is God ooo

Nkanu is nkanu, nothing like east or west in Enugu zonal politics .
So, till the slot comes to nkanu again, u will have to cool down.

biafrandream:


So far non of them deserve that seat. I see in them a bunch of immature opportunists. In as much as I support rotation of political seats, I am really scared about an Nsukka man becoming governor of Enugu. I think that Enugu will loose the little gain we have made. I may be wrong though but that's my feeling.

My Nsukka brothers are wonderful people, but one thing that puts me off about them is selfishness. I despise over-selfishness no matter who is involved. It is one of the reservations I had over Chima's government even though he is my brother. When I remember Okwy Nwodo, I become more apprehensive.

However, as a man who believes in the equality of all men and a true democrat, I will still vote an Nsukka man come 2015. I believe in egbe bere ugo Bere. I only wish new states were created, so they can have their own state and govern themselves.

Please, it's not every Nsukka man that is selfish. There are selfless ones but few. I am sorry to generalise but having had more than ten very close friends from Nsukka for so many years, I speak from experience.

please, What exactly will a selfish governor do differently?

Are you saying pur own crunchies, celebrities, bubbles are not clean enough for foreigners?
