olodoowoh:do you need to start bashing at them because they say what they are? Its either you celebrate with them or post your state and its great men and women for people to celebrate them. That is why we Igbos find it difficult to present a sole candidate for the presidency -Hate. Meanwhile, I have learnt much and I really enjoyed it. 2 Likes |

OdenigboAroli: Ichie OdenigboAroli greetings to you. On the issues you raised i'll like to tell you that from what i have seen about this team there is hope for us in the coming league season starting from our home match March 7, against warri wolves. However, it will interest you to note that big names don't play football in the Nigerian league rather bid clubs in Nigeria league make an average player look like a big player. E.g Abia warrior's Oyekachi Peter was in the NNL with Gabros last two season yet Gabros' Michael Ohamu outscored him though they got promoted to the premiership where he dazzled and today he is a big player just because he moved to Enyimba. What about Kano Pillars' Christian Obiozor? who will believe he played here in Onitsha alongside Ugochukwu Uzonna and Uche Nwofor for our own relegated Anambra pillars before they moved to Rangers and today the rest is history Uzonna now plays for Chippa United in SA and Nwofor VVV Venlo in Holland and now Lierse SK in Poland. Back to Obiozor today he is a house hold name in kano (almost every fan's jersey in kano bears his name) even before the league kick starts already had 8goals to his credit for Kano pillars during super 6, Ghana tour and a goal in the champions league. Mind you most of these Gabros players were also former Anambra Pillars Players. Giwa Fc will be our major case study, they won the Group A table of the NNL last two season to play in the league last season, they also won the NNL super 4 in Abuja last season with no Known name. Today if not that Dolphins played in 2014 FA cup finals, Giwa Fc would have been flying Nigeria's flag in the continent because they ended the season on fourth position and also lost to Enyimba at the FA cup semi finals!! Even till now no known player from Giwa apart from the goal keeper OLORUNLEKE OJO who currently has benched Alampasu Dele in the Flying eagles team. Now back to Gabros FC, If you have watched them play you will agree with me the team is built as a team not around some key individuals on whose shoulders the entire burden dwells e.g If Kano Pillars play a game without Ezekiel Mba, Rabiu Ali, GAmbo Mohammed & Obiozor come and see them loose woefully!! same with Enyimba with the likes of Sokari Kingsley, Nzube Anaezemba, Rasheed Olabiyi and Udoh we saw that almost happened in the last FA cup final where coach Kadiri Ikhana started the match without Olabiyi and Anaezemba if not luck and sheer desperadoo from Goalkeeper Femi Thomas Enyimba will have been down by 4 goals in the first half, but then we saw how the table upturned immediately these two midfield menstro were introduced into the match. So i'll prefer a team that play together, and stay together irrespective of the BIG NAME syndrome. This was what a Journalist and a football Analyst have to say about GABROS after the super 4 tournament "............................ the high level of confidence i mentioned is what won the 1st game for them. Gabros has done the same over highly rated 3SC as they took the Oluyole Warriors into the cleaners, the Ifeayi Uba boys are just but classical. Very skillful side, mobile and calculative one touch passes which makes them dangerous on counter attacks, watch-out for them..................." (Adedeji Oluseyi Sbj Malawi) The two goals scored by Gabros were from counter attacks and in football it takes a very highly and tactical side to achieve this fit!! Ka CHineke m'ezie okwu 3 Likes |

The subject, 'Community Ownership of Football Club in Nigeria' is yet to be leverage on in Nigeria but EseOghene Edafe, an OAP, a sports researcher and analyst in a chat with SL10.ng talked about the importance of communities taking up ownership of football clubs in Nigeria. The series in Community Ownership of Football Club in Nigeria will start on Wednesday by 10am on SL10 Nigeria Twitter handle ( @SL10Nigeria ). Enjoy the recap of the chat on Monday: SL10: Good morning Edafe: Morning SL10Nigeria: Can community ownership of football clubs in Nigeria work in this part of the world? Edafe: Yes it can and it's what Nigeria needs. SL10: How can it be achieved bearing in mind that Nigeria is a diverse community often with many cultures in a state? Edafe: Football thrives in diversity and multi- cultural ethnicity SL10: Agreed but how do you propose to arrest the illiteracy level which spurs division instead of unity? Edafe: That diversity is actually what is supposed to work to our advantage. Plenty of flavour and colouration SL10: Why do you think 'Community Ownership of Football Clubs" is what Nigeria needs? Edafe: For one it is suicidal to expect that tax payers money should be spent unaccounted for in football. SL10: Community ownership, please simplify it for proper understanding. Edafe: It simply means the clubs being owned by the people instead of Government. Let's say 10000 people pay 5k (five thousand ) membership fee SL10: That means a group of people coming together to own a club. Can one be a major shareholder but not an outright owner? Edafe: The constitution of the club should spell it clearly that everyone would have equal share for 50yrs at least so that the annual renewal would run and build funds for the sustenance of the clubs over the years. Every business without accountability and financial integrity would never grow or gain value and respect. SL10: With this idea of community ownership, is it possible to get grant/loan from bank to expand or will it be done as normal contribution. Edafe: If a club has 10000 fans committed to the cause in five years they would increase income by 35% through merchandise and adverts. SL10: As a community owned club, how will the issue of referees seeking PR when it's not part of our budget be curbed? Edafe: I ran a club from 2003 to 2004, never paid a kobo to refs yet got promoted to the top flight. Good players and good coach would solve that problem. Poor coaching and under fed players causes that. SL10: Are you saying all the clubs in the NPFL don't pay good salary and coaches need to upgrade their techniques. Edafe: Absolute yes to that. What you read on paper is not what players get. Plus it's inconsistent in coming. The idea of Community club ownership initiative would give fans a right of ownership and vote their board and managers who are accountable to them. When banks wanted to introduce #ATM Nigerians said area boys would steal them, it won't work etc. What do we have today? A club with 5000 fans every other week would have its own bottled water, beverage and snacks for sale. Enyimba won the CAF Champions League because Uzor Kalu loved football, how far thereafter? Back to status quo. With fans ownership, equipments would improve, players welfare would improve and marketing as well. Change is not something people like because some people are benefiting from the present abnormalities so they won't. A topical example of community ownership is FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. These are clubs owned by communities not individual or group. SL10: Can you talk about My Naija FC As regards community ownership of football clubs' ? Edafe: #MyNaijaFC was set up as vehicle to introduce the concept of fans ownership in Nigeria. We are trying to spread it. SL10: So how far have you and your team at My Naija FC gone with the project? Edafe: We must agree that the present system of government patron is criminal,lacking in financial best practice and corporate integrity. We are proud to say that we have signed an agreement with Sandlanders who are expert in the practice for technical, strategic and logistic partnership. Stationery Stores FC have also bought into the idea. Still working on the final detail. The same way the greedy status quo driven lazy folks are opposed to the League Management Company (LMC) so are they against us. But we are marching on. SL10: Thanks for the chat. Edafe: You are welcome. |

Fresh from doubling the monthly figure of the state’s Internally Generated Revenue of N500m which he inherited from his predecessor to N1.1bn, the Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano has set himself a new revenue target of N3.3 billion per month. Chief Willie Obiano, Governor of Anambra State and Mr. Okey Moka, Chairman and CEO of Anambra State Board of Internal Revenue during the inauguration of the Revenue House, Awka. Governor Obiano who set the new target while commissioning the State Internal Revenue Service Headquarters called ‘’Revenue House’’ at Agu-Awka, also emphasized the imperatives of efficient revenue generation to enable government meet its obligations to the people and sustain the tempo of development across the State, especially with the dwindling Federal Allocation resulting from falling global oil prices. I met average revenue of about N500m monthly when we took over about 11 months ago. But we have been able to move it to about N1.1bn. But this is a far cry from where we should be. For us to be more comfortable in what we are doing, we should be generating not less than N3.3bn monthly. That’s why every hand must be on deck.” The governor recalled that when he took over the reins of leadership in the state, the price of crude oil was still very high in the international market pointing out that the current fall in oil prices meant that his administration would have to seek very creative ways of meeting the revenue needs of the state. “So, to be able to sustain the work we are doing, we need to rev up our Internally Generated Revenue. That’s why we are paying attention to anything that will help us increase our revenue.” The governor assured staff of the Revenue Board that government would provide them with the required logistics to carry out their duties efficiently including vehicles and adequate security while government was equally working on 32 offices of the Board to provide conducive working environment. He assured that measures had been put in place to plug all revenue leakages by ensuring all taxes were paid into banks. He noted that they would be given specific targets and would be rewarded according to performance and explained that the State government had streamlined taxes collected by the State government and those of the local government councils to avoid duplication or multiple taxation. Earlier, the Executive Chairman, Anambra State Internal Revenue Service, Sir Okey Moka thanked the governor for his proactive disposition in ensuring that the facility was completed and assured that the workforce would work hard to boost the State IGR to enviable level. Sir Moka also urged income earners to pay their taxes promptly and regularly as their civic responsibility and law abiding citizens, and made it clear that the Board was poised to enforce the relevant tax laws within its jurisdiction to reduce the incidence of tax avoidance and evasion. 4 Likes |

Things Anambra State government need to do for us this year. 1. Link Oraifite Street Awada and MCC Rd with a flyover across the express with double lane. 2. Link Uga Street Fegge and Atani Rd with a flyover across the expressway with double lane. 3 Dualize Nnewi-Ozubulu-Ihembosi-Okija Road with state of the art street furnitures. 4. Dualize Onicha Rd Nnewi with state of the art street furnitures. 5. Tar major streets in Awada, Nkpor, Fegge, Iyiowa and Woliwo. 6. Ban signposts and billboards that littered all the streets in Onicha and Nnewi. 7. Build two skyscrapers (16 storey each) in Onicha, one in New market Rd, one in Old Market Rd and develop a comprehensive CBD in Onicha 8. Clear Nwangene lake and convert it to an international car park where containers will be offloading instead of blocking our streets here. 9. Change all the names of the streets that bear Northern State in Onicha and change it to the name of great Omanbalas, change Bida Rd to Achebe Rd, change Sokoto Rd to Soludo Street, change Kano Street to Adichie Street, change Kaduna street to Akunyili street, etc 6 Likes |

Re: Anambra light of the nation, eastern economy power house. by Nobody: 7:22pm On Mar 01, 2015 |
Thanks bros for understanding am not demanding too much. The most important thing is the vision, I don't know whether the government have the vision, these are things that our state need to step up the notch, the River Niger bank can be cleared and decorate with ornamental tree and park seats by the sides overlooking the river, things like these don't cost a monkeyass but the vision is the key. Someone will tell me skyscrapers are white elephant projects, they aren't white elepahnt project, they make city look nice and command automatic respect, the encourage land economics, they promote aesthetism, they increase the intellectual level of the residents by attracting white collar jobs. Just two skyscrapers is enough for the time being, one in New Mkt Rd one in Old Mkt Road. Things like these don't cost anything but the lack of vision make it look like they are rocket science cjrane: 4 Likes |

Does Anambra still have Local Government chiarmen? Why are internal roads in the state, especially in Awka such an eyesore and all dusty. Whose duty is it to fix these roads. I also think the governor should start expanding and dualizing roads in our major cities even at the cost of demolition of houses. This idea of single narrow roads everywhere in Anambra makes places like Awka and Nnewi to look like villages. Chime did it in Enugu so no one should tell me money is the problem 3 Likes |
Re: Anambra light of the nation, eastern economy power house. by Schematics: 8:05am On Mar 02, 2015 |
Most of roads in the city are already marked for dualization in line with UNHABITAT/ACDA masterplan. Its a complete construction yard because a lot dust comes from the construction sites on the express/flyovers and adjoining roads. Preliminary works has resumed at Amawbia byepass and most other roads already. The roads I know Obiano promised to dualize in Nnewi are the long stretch of road leading to the mall and around it. Aside that a lot is going on in Anambra with ongoing construction of 3 brand new dual carriageways that will connect the Anambra International Cargo airport from our major cities..
