Emmanuel Emenike In Dispute With Enugu Govt Over Land Meant For Football Acad. by Collynzo16: 6:29pm On Aug 31, 2014
Nigeria World Cup star Emmanuel Emenike is up in arms with the Enugu State Government over 13 plots of land worth 30 million Naira (about $ 180,000), which he bought to build a sports academy in Enugu.

Soldiers have invaded the property and have prevented any work on it, the Fenerbache star has exclusively told AfricanFootball.com.

A bitter Emenike told only AfricanFootball.com he bought the 13 plots of land after the World Cup in Brazil through a special assistant to the Enugu State Governor Frank Ndubuisi Ugwunweze (a.k.a Ezeumuaga), who handed all documents concerning to the land in Emenike's name to the forward.

He further narrated: "I worked hard to make my money, I know what I pass through on the pitch before I earn my living and it will be unfair if what am hearing about my land in Enugu State was true.

"I visit Enugu whenever I come to Nigeria, my friends stay there as well as some of my family
members. And I am the kind of person who allows for advise. Even before now, I had a dream to own an academy not only in Nigeria but I believe in the saying that "charity begins at home".

“About three, four months ago, I acquired 13 plots of land in Enugu State through the special assistant to Governor Sullivan Chime. And during the time of conversation of the land papers he never told me there was any problem on the land. He gave me all the necessary documents in my name after payment.

"I then directed for work to commence immediately, but the state government has directed soldiers to stop anybody from working there.

He added: "I don't want to believe that this is fraud. I am ready to fight it all.

“I am not a politician and I see no reason why my money will be held by the government house."

"I have called some top government officials in Enugu, but all of them are not trying to be sincere.
They could not help because the order came from the Governor.

"Nobody is trying to be sincere and as a matter of fact, I want my money back. I am very depressed that there is no confidence in investing in my country. I just don't understand the pranks.

"Right from time, I don't like going through government for anything. I prefer to do it with my money and I see no reason why my property will be held back by government."

Emenike told AfricanFootball.com he had tried to get land in Imo State, but the government refused him and so he opted to do it elsewhere. "People go to government to get free land, but I will not do that because there is no sincerity in most of the things we do. And I will not be here and somebody takes my money, it will never happen,” he disclosed.

"I just want to believe that His Excellency Governor Chime was not aware of the purchase of the land, in that case, I will like to have my money back."

Reading the parts in bold, I just wonder whether South East leaders are averse to development.
It is very easy to castigate Igbos who invest away from home without hearing their own side of the story.
Everything should be done to encourage those who choose to invest in the South East rather than frustrating them.

chime,u need to intervene on this.why is sincerity lacking in we nigerians?
i wanted asking why he didnt opt to do such in his home state(imo) only to find out that the governor didnt allow him do that.
this is bad.same thing they did to rashidi yekini(conniving to defraud him of his hard earned cash).
i thank God for emenike,atleast he is still playing football so he could learn some positive lessons

Chime the flowerist general and chief Hoticulturist of Enugu City give no hoot about investment and revenue generation.

I guess the Okpa-eating 9mile Ngwoman will have makeup sets to beautify himself and look like his city roundabouts and sidewalks grin grin grin grin grin grin

The man appears to be a petty dictator, from his wife to his deputy governor and now private individuals.
These are just the ones we get to hear of.
Then again how about Rochas who refused to sell land to the guy? I am sure if it were his northern brothers based in Imo that approached him for plots of land, he would have given them free of charge.

landed property in Enugu state is a try-your-luck affair. you buy from government, community will sue you and claim it's community land. you buy from community, government will demolish and claim it's a reserved area for projects. if you buy land and do not start work immediately, chances are the same sellers will resell to a higher bidder and use part of the money for your court case.
At the end of the day the winner is the lawyers. he might never get that land back not his money.

from the onset, the sellers knew it was government's property, but they liaise with some corrupt state government officials and process fake documents. by next year the present state government will vacate office and the new one will start demolition of old sold properties, only to resell them.
nigeria is a real jungle.
