Goodnuel:
Hi all!!

I'm back again!!

This time, I bring you Abacha.

Deliciously made and very affordable.

In this part of the world, we don't play with food.

Nice move but the properties should go to the state government not FG. Hope ugwuanyi picks an interest in this case. We need these properties and money especially now government is broke. Hoping he doesn't loot them too.

milychocs:



The Awgu way to make abacha.... ....
....adding a sprinkling of akidi (black beans) to it
Who says the people of old were not intelligent?
Balance the starch with some protein rich food
....since not every one can afford fish
We make ours differently...however this is equally awesome

My brother's friend always brought this to us anytime his parents had "meetings"...which was a lot...his father was popular( village and church)
Now drooling
I miss home

Kcinho:

Most of our politicians in enugu and probably southeast with all their exposure don't have social media presence.
Noticed their counterparts from the west are more active on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn etc.

Afam4eva:

Their counterparts in the west are more exposed or atleast, employ people that are exposed to help them with tech stuff. The politicians we have in the east are old fashioned people and that is why you rarely see them coming up with 21st century ideas. We need more young people who have lived outside Igboland for a consideration amount of time to mount the saddle. I'm tired of seeing elderly men in power.

BuddahMonk:
The reason why Orji Kalu's handle is still active is that he is not occupying any political office now.
These guys are all the same thing from East, West, North or South.

I remember how Obiano used to sleep in tweeter in the run up to Anambra election, today he tweets once in 4 months.

Alex Otti tweeter handle was active but after the election nobody is updating it.
Its not about having online and social media presence its all about listening to ideas and suggestions.

asha80:
ditto Kcinho obiano and rochas all have those media handles...nit it makes much difference anyway..what a governor would do will always do whether there us media presence or nit

cjrane:


There is something about having a social media account which your citizens can reach you quickly without booking any appointment. It brings you ideas and even intelligence about what is going on. Of course some job seekers or attention seekers can sometimes go there to insult you or do something negative. But ultimately, it is a great thing for leaders to be internet savvy and own FB or tweeter accounts to share ideas with the people they govern.

Apart from Enugu under Chime, None of the SE states even have a state website that is regularly updated and there is a link to leave a message for the governor or commissioners. Our governors typically believe they know it all and have nothing to learn from anyone. it's so sad.

asha80:
anambra used to have a state website under obi but I don't think the website is on again ditto Imo under ohakim and a large part of rochas' last term.

cjrane:


I know the sites you are talking about, but they are more of a praise blog sites than a true state official website. Like the Chimaroke Nnamani's defunct "Ebeano.com" website that substituted for the Enugu state website while he was in power. Even Obiano has one blog site (http://ifeadinmesi.com/ https://www.facebook.com/WillieObiano?fref=photo)

But check out what a state official website should be from many of the northern states of Nigeria or Rivers or Lagos state site (http://www.lagosstate.gov.ng/)

Kcinho:

Things like the conference centre would have been pushed for(if not finished) if ENSG had any social media presence. The average politician close to the governor will always want a new project and not continuity.
So clamouring for these projects and ideas online will go a long way in getting the governor know the wish of the people. Someone can actually drop a link to forums like this on the handles or pages.
Not forgetting praises and congratulatory messages from the populace for projects and ideas well executed will make a good leader try to be better.
PS: BuddahMonk El rufai's twitter handle is still very much active. Check his(his aides') posts about yesterday's bombing. Dude has the best media presence so far.

Igbonazy:
From my experience, Igbos in Southeast are way smarter, very hardworking, well cultured and accademically brilliant than igbos living in Abuja or Lagos. I have always adviced friends who want to improve their kids academic performance to send them to boarding school in East.

Why do igbos abroad prefer marrying from South East than Abroad or Abuja? Did innoson learn his vehicle manufacturing in Lagos?

Bro believe it or not you are more like a subhuman when compared with those dudes living in Southeast,if you doubt me challange them academically.

asha80:
doubt if it would have had any effect on the abandoned conference centre..these politicians are not really morons you know..Sullivan knows about the abandoned center and I doubt any pressure would have made him complete it

Kcinho:

Never said he wasn't aware. It's there at his backyard. Refusing to address it would make him/his government look insensitive which would be an advantage for a good opposition(though Enugu is a one party state). Remember #UndressNASS etc. The law makers wouldn't have addressed the issues if people didn't take to social media

asha80:
abia state has always had a website under ta orji's second term...did not make any difference in his administration

ANSIPPA website is still being developed, all the links are not working including contact page and others. Even the texts in some body pages are Lorem Ipsum generated texts.

ABS has the best and most functional website now because they have inhouse ICT team that update the site constantly and improve on the images, most importantly their site is mobile compatible.

Anambra state government website need complete overhaul by the ministry of Information, then another issue we are facing here is the use of the governor's face in state projects.
When he came newly he commissioned for a logo for the state but recently the logo have been relegated to the background and the governor's face adorning everywhere.

SE governments are run like some Igbo businesses, they don't invest in marketing communications, media and public relation management.
Check Innoson's website and weep, ANNAMCO don't even own website yet.

Many companies in East lack online presence and I don't know why they are shying away from it.

Stella Oduah used to bombard me with text messages and even requested for my friendship in FB, today nothing again.

Could you imagine that Smile Communications own by Igbos have offices in Lagos, Ibadan, Port Harcourt and last week opened in Abuja yet none in SE.

The reason is attitude, most of us writing here don't even live in igboland yet we want things to be done our ways, how many times have you make out time trying to connect with government aids when the governor himself is very difficult to be reached.
This morning alone I have tweeted to Obiano, I have tweeted to Anambra state government yet they can't even acknowledge your tweet or show concern about your passion.

The issue is that Nigeria political class is pedestrian in administrative know how. People like Obiano who stayed in the US but still construct roads with open gutters and drainages. People like Ikpeazu whom we heard was the ASEPA deputy director but couldn't evacuate heaps of refuse in Aba.
Did Chime lived outside Igboland to know he will construct gutters with sidewalks and closed drainages @ Afam4eva ?

Visit our universities with departments in many fields and see how ugly the system is.

Do you know that a school in Enugu is supposed to have organized a business tour of the state and present the tourist potentials of the state as well as how to harness the numerous opportunities to the government.

What about Anambra State, don't you think a team of students lead by lecturers in some departments should have explore how to exploit the potentials of Onitsha Waterfront and give their findings to government.

This is why if all these uselesss and stupiid civil servants are complaining of receiving poor treatment from government I will back the government that these docile civil servants are not doing anything. They are just paid to be idle, read newspapers, gossip and carry placards on MayDay for pay rise.

I saw how a sculpture piece in Creek Road by Niger Street Onitsha is being covered in weeds and dirty posters, yet the LG headquarters is the next street. Go to stadium in Onitsha and see how Keke and Okada mechanics have turned the stadium compound to workshops yet Stadium workers do come to work everyday and get paid every month doing nothing.

Infact you guys will be unlucky the day I will be an administrator.

spyder880:


Yes it didn't, because the dude chose to be aloof. But it will make a huge difference to any positive minded governor or government.

Kcinho:

those were redundant like what his colleagues had too. Check the Twitter link on the site, it still has ta orji as governor with just 410 tweets(mostly campaign stuffs). These are signs they never worked.

centje:
This very very wrong!!!! How are they federal government properties when it was developed with state fund. Now, we can see this may not be just fighting corruption but has some background ethnic conspiracy. I hope Ifeanyi does not allow this. It is wrong to even close the companies completely when youths are without job. 'Am so bitter about this chima's case, they just scattered that incredible cosmos fm team. I lost interest in Radio when Cosmo was cracked down. My uncle had to resign from Rainbownet immediately he noticed the impending doom, he was just lucky to have gotten another far paying job in PH before Rainbownet paid last salary. Most other staff that didn't see it coming were devastated when it was shut down by EFCC.

DikeOha882:
On the issue of ethnic conspiracy , I disagree with you cos Ibori case was the same. Enugu state govt never lodged a complaint to efcc, rather efcc been an agency of federal govt arraigned him in the law court, what we expect from Enugu govt is to challenge the federal govt about the forfeiture like what Delta state govt did
