@mktinsight, why must everything be along the expressway, the ICC should have been move toward GTC or Mbaukwu so that development in that area can pick up.
It's disgusting how everything in Anambra State except Nnewi is sighted along the two major highways in the state. When I said ANSG is run by mediocre people many will think am extremely bias. Anambra State should open 3-3 to Nsugbe road so that development can leave the expressway, open Nkpor - Obosi - Umuoji Road, open Old and New Oba Road.

Anambra people are too attached to main road mentality that if they can't find one they will relocate to Asaba and started sandfilling River Niger to make sure they are in the expressway.

90% of the markets in Anambra State are located along the expressway. Obiano have been running around like a headless chicken in Oka, check it everything is happening in the expressway.

The siting of Agulu Lake Hotel is not just suitable but perfect.

onuebonyi:
Golden Tulip Agulu is the most beautiful hotel in the SE. Facilities in this hotel are 5 star facilities. Visit the place make your eyes clear.

If you are posting someone else pictures try as much as possible to credit the owner.

nnamdijonathan:


This hotel looks like a 3 star hotel, the interior is not even as beautiful as that of Concord hotel. So this is the hotel that is taking Anambra over 5 years to complete? smh

Wawa man yea leave it for them onye ara.

EasternActivist:
There is an underground political scheme for atiku to pick a SW VP.

Igbos wake up and claim your right.

In the mean time I appreciate some of our efforts here in nairaland and ohanaeze youth wing for adding their voice in the political air space. Being that hero starts now.

Wake up guys and smell the coffee.

My friend go and Sidon.

Klinee:
We need core Easterners not SS Igbo that doesn't affiliate well with the East, so Peter Obi is far more qualified.
Okonji Ngozi is a Delta woman not a core Easterner even though she married an Easterner, taking her as VP representing the East, I must be honest that Easterners has been sidelines again.
What are her reputation toward development and betterment of East during her times as minister that would warrant a good reasonable Easterners to project her.

Ngozi Okonjo Iweala is our candidate. Peter Obi should go and face his supermarket business

Oga dont be Stupid...

God forbid..

SE no get negotiation with anybody

Ngozi Okonjo Iweala is our candidate. She has represented Abia State in in Federal appointments. you are not more Igbo than her. After all Peter Obi was Governor when people were killed and dumped in Ezu river under his watch. He didn’t protect igbos then, it’s when he’s vp he will protect igbos? Rubbish

You are the one who is being naive here and not the person you quoted. All these clannishness you guys keep projecting here is disgusting to say the least!! How can you be saying trash against a woman who is not just Igbo from Delta state but equally married to another Igbo from Abia state?? Sometimes, I wonder if the Biafra we are clamoring for will be beneficial to us in the long run. Some of us are too selfish, primitive, clannish, myopic and always fail to see the bigger picture. I already wrote an article earlier on why NOI is the most qualified to be the VP which she may not even be interested in becoming. You guys should change your way of thinking, we are trying to align with our kit and kin in the South South that identifies with us yet some of us are playing into the hands of those elements from the North and West that put a wedge between us and our brothers since the end of the Biafran war.
Tufiakwa, everyday is one fight or the other between Igbo states, if it's not between Imo and Anambra, it will be Enugu and Ebony or Anambra and Delta. This is fvrking disgusting and not republicanism at all. I even thought it's imposters doing all these nonsense but I have seen that it isn't. So sad!!!

Which brothers from south south?

Are u alright?

So Igbos in Delta state are no longer Igbos because Nigeria called them South South?? Honestly, you're not alright!!

Is like you're a learner

Aren't there indigenous Igbos in south south?
Or are they now your ethnicity. Cos last time I checked there is nothing like south south ethnic group.

Anyway I don't know and as for me allow them to defend themselves not u defending them or tagging them what they might possibly reject.

Is left for them to decide whom they are.

You don't know?. So why displaying your sheer ignorance.

so does that mean if an Igbo in Anambra speaks my mind and In the interest of Igbos but from Enugu state, I have to shut him out because he is not from Anambra or what

Guy me no understand you o

Too many disgusting racists, tribalists, bullies and babies.

You have long way to go.

I identify with the Biafra people because they are way more civilized, mentally sophisticated and accommoding..

We are coming for you!


You will all be defeated by the grace of God.

Osagyefo98:

What falsehood are you talking about!? Did you even know that Major Kaduna Nzeogwu and most of the men involved in the 1966 coup were the so called "South South" yet it was termed Igbo coup and the northerners used it as excuse to kill Igbos in the North?? Did you even know that one of the greatest soldiers that fought for Biafra, men like the famous Hannibal, "Air raid" Joe Achuzie and some others were from there??
When you guys continue to create barriers between us and our brothers in the so called South South, who do you think loses?? We all will lose both we in the East and they across the Niger because there is strength in numbers, while our enemies continue to ride on us!! Igwe bu Ike is a powerful Igbo adage so is Onye ahala nwanne ya. Our forefathers that created this sayings were wise to do so.
Lest you forget, it is our population that makes us strong and we should be wise enough to ensure we remain as one regardless of what happens.

Hmnnn, I can see you're among the imposters messing up in Igbo threads. Your name has exposed you as Edo so I wonder what you're looking for here!?

FUNDAMENTAL ACHIEVEMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF ANAMBRA STATE (PARTIAL LISTING) 1. Anambra was the first State to commence Sub- Sovereign Wealth savings, the first of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa. At a time many other Governors were leaving huge debts, I left the equivalent of $500 million Dollars in investment as well as local and foreign currency, including $156 million in Dollar-denominated bonds. 2. For the first time in the history of Anambra State, Ambassadors and High Commissioners of notable countries such as United States, Britain, Russia, European Union, South Africa, Belgium, Israel, the Netherlands, Canada, among others, visited the State. Before my tenure, Anambra was practically a pariah state blacklisted by the Diplomatic Corps and international development partners. 3. Development partners such as UNDP, UNICEF, the World Bank, DFID, the European Union etc., which hitherto were not in Anambra State started working with the State. Anambra was consistently adjudged one of the best states in development partnership and commitment to reforms for good governance. 4. He was recognised as Best Governor by the Millennium Development Goals Office (OSSAP- MDGs) and the UNDP in the implementation of their programmes in Nigeria. 5. The Nigerian Debt Management Office (DMO) rated Anambra as the least indebted state in Nigeria. In spite of visible and measurable achievements recorded in various sectors, the State under him did not borrow or raise bonds for her various projects. 6. The Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria rated Anambra State as the most financially stable state in the country. 7. The State's ground-breaking return of schools to their original owners - Voluntary Agencies (Churches) on 1st January 2009, and subsequent partnership with the Agencies in Education, saw the State move from 24th position out of 36 States to Number One in National Examination Council (NECO) and West African Examination Council (WAEC) examinations for three consecutive years. This made the World Bank to commission a study, led by the renowned Prof. Paul Collier of Oxford University, on this revolutionary partnership and phenomenal achievement. 8. The State also entered into strategic partnership with the Churches in the Health sector. This symbiotic relationship resulted in a tremendous boost to health care because of the services offered by health institutions owned by Voluntary Agencies, while the State restored grants to the agencies and made available to them more than 50 million Dollars in various types of support. 10. Through partnership with the Church in the Health sector, his Government funded the transformation of -: a: Iyienu Hospital, Ogidi; b: Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Ihiala; c: St Charles Borromeo Hospital, Onitsha; d: Holy Rosary Hospital, Waterside, Onitsha; and e: St. Joseph Hospital, Adazi-Nnukwu. His Government also built the Joseph Nwilo Heart Centre in St. Joseph, Adazi-Nnukwu, where heart operations are now being performed. 11. His Government won the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (1 Million dollars) as the best- performing state in immunisation in the South-East. With complementary funding from our Government, they used the money to build 10 Maternal and Child Care Centres across the State, particularly in rural communities, in partnership with the Churches. 12. The State was the first to procure and distribute more than 30,000 computers to secondary schools, including 22,500 from HP. The Managing Director for Personal Systems Group HP Inc, Mr. FabriceCampoy described the deployment as the biggest of such projects in the Middle-East and Africa. 13. Anambra State Government provided Microsoft Academies to more than 500 secondary schools, which the Head of Microsoft in Nigeria (Mr. Ken Span) described as the biggest such deployment in Africa so far. 14. The State provided Internet access to more than 500 secondary schools, which the CEO of Galaxy Backbone (Mr. Gerald Ilukwe) characterized as incomparable to any in the country. 15. More than 700 buses were provided to secondary schools in the State by our Government. 16. Boreholes were provided in schools all over the State. 17. Numerous classrooms were built in all the 177 communities of the State. 18 As part of the efforts to turn around the economy of the State, a number of companies were attracted to build their facilities in the Anambra State. A case in point is SABMiller, the 2nd largest brewery in the world, which built their first Green Field facility in the State, which is today one of the most successful facilities they operate globally. 19. A number of other companies followed the SABMiller initiative and were all supported and encouraged under our Government; a good example is INNOSON Motor Manufacturing Company, from which our government bought more than 1,000 vehicles. 20. Anambra State for the first time started close collaboration with recognized government security agencies (the Police, Army, Navy, Department of State Security, Civil Defence, among others), offering them various types of support including provision of more than 500 security vehicles. The improvement in security was phenomenal, such that the former IG of Police (Abubakar Mohammed) lauded Anambra State for not witnessing any bank robbery in my last three years in office. 21. To further enhance security, Anambra State provided at least one security vehicle to each of all the 177 communities in the State as well as various organizations such as markets and Churches. 22. His Administration conceived and built, from scratch, the first state-owned Teaching Hospital, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu teaching Hospital, Awka. 23. His Government commenced the planned development of the Igbariam Campus of the ChukwuemekaOdumegwu-Ojukwu University, including the fencing, construction of internal roads, electrification, construction of the Faculty of Law, Auditorium, Administrative Block, Faculty of Agriculture, Management Building, among others). 24. His Government attracted the World Bank support on erosion - National Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP) - to Anambra State. 25. His Government was the first to do Poverty Mapping in Nigeria, as a guide for the effective implementation of our poverty-alleviation strategies. 26 His Government, for the first time, undertook the aerial mapping of Awka as well as the production of Structure Plans for Awka Capital Territory, Onitsha and Nnewi. 27. During his tenure and with his Government's support, Anambra State became an oil producing State. 28. He built the first Secretariat Complex to house State Government Ministries that were hitherto scattered around the State. 29. His government commenced the development of the 'Three Arms Zone' comprising Government House/Governor’s Lodge, Legislative Building/ Speakers Residence, and Judiciary Building with Chief Judge’s Residence. 30. By the end of his tenure in 2014, more than twelve (12) health institutions, including two hospitals, had secured accreditation; when we took off in 2006, no health institution in Anambra State was duly accredited. 31. Anambra State was the first to undergo national peer review, which scrutinised State Governments for good governance, through the State Peer Review Mechanism (SPRM), an initiative of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum in collaboration with the DFID.
