Your insult won't be tolerated next time.
Are you talking about Awka metro area that has started encompassing towns and communities around it as expected just as we have Onitsha metro area comprising of Nkpor, Awada Obosi, Onitsha etc or you're talking of Awka town itself?

NoIgboSoundTueh:

What did i just watched?
You're comparing this to Lekki
This is the 36th finest GRA in nigeria .
Even Sokoto Low cost area is finer than this far-away-from-civilization place

ANSMEDIA:
Please stop quoting me if you don't want to learn. The case of Onitsha is different from Awka. Onitsha developed and swallowed many LGAs naturally and those areas became Onitsha metro.

It is different in the case of Awka, 6LGAs were mapped out to form what's known as Awka capital territory. So any time you hear someone mention AWKA, it is no longer the Awka you knew before state creation.

That hotel is located at Nibo Road AWKA. It is not until I write Awka capital territory in full before you know where that's being referred.

Hello Brothers


I will go straight to the point.


We have all that is needed to build an indigenous industrial city in Alaigbo.



I was following thread on Barth Nnaji Geometric power station powered by gas and wondering Why Anambra is not presently in consultation to develop and utilise our Gas.


We have the likes of Chicason gas plant and practically all the industrialist that we need to kick start an industrial zone with some help from the Chinese in terms of technological support.



We have innoson car and so many more.


They are all indigenous, so what is holding us again in Anambra?


The earlier we do the industrial revolution, the sooner we can move to the Information technology revolution and build our own Silicon valley or Tech hub.



Any where u discover gas is meant to be an industrial site.



If u fail to do it now, dont complain when Fulani change all your Govs and put your resources in a pipeline to Kano to do just this in Kano. Now u know y Hope Uzordinma was do or die for them, so desperately.


Anambra is next target.

An industrial city requires planning. Industries cluster in places where they can get:
Power
- Good Roads
- Water
- Security
- Cheap Skills
- Good Housing
- Good Location
he Ethiopians are the only country in Sub-Saharan Africa who know what industrial zones are supposed to look like. They have a place called Hawassa which was setup in 9 months to world standard and hosts 52 companies and has created 60,000 jobs:

Is there anywhere in Anambra that resembles this? The only industrial park worthy of note in Nigeria is Agbara Estate in Ogun which hosts Unilever, Nestle, P&G, Beloxxi, Beta Glass and more. Which industry in the East can boast of such and nobody is asking why?Perhaps a big reason is that most multinationals find Nigeria a horrible place to do business and so stay close to the entry/exit point which is Lagos. They produce there and ask Nigerians to come buy and distribute from there. They venture to places like Anambra and see the chaos and lawlessness of markets in Onitsha, the lack of power, the congested Niger Bridge, smile politely and head elsewhere. he cost is the massive loss of jobs which results in the youth migrating to Lagos and other states for sustenace. Obiano and friends should ask just why many multinationals do not have any factory in Anambra to produce for the Eastern regional market. Why are Indomie? Nestle? Nigerian Breweries? GSK? not in Onitsha other than as sales offices? Why is MTN, Glo running regional operations from Asaba/Enugu and not Awka? People have eyes and they see what a government is doing. They know commitment when they see it.

BeijinDossier:
Always posting trash. Can you compare number of multinationals companies based in Anambra to anywhere else in the region? We have had this argument before and I remembered, I took my time on this thread to post screenshots of them with their addresses in Onitsha and parts of Anambra. Smile communication regional office is also in Onitsha.

As for industrial presence both multinational, regional headquarters Anambra is leading in the region by far.

Is Nigerian brewery bigger than the multinational AbinBev based in Onitsha? Indomie only produce in Lagos and PH. Anambra on the other hand have noodles like Tommy Tommy that's even competing favourably well in the market. Are GSK, Nestle in those states you mentioned? No.

Stop coming here to post unfounded rubbish this cursed frustrated bitter idiot. This thread wasn't opened for you, open your own thread somewhere and continue your witchcraft there.

He actually made a valid contribution and underlying points for consideration, especially the Ethiopia and Ogun case study.


I was even surprise.

BeijinDossier:
Have you read any reasonable point from that idiot before? He is always positioning himself as if he knows better than even Bill Gates, meanwhile he is just an empty from vagabond.

hammer3:


That is y I said, I was surprise.


He said, people have eyes and they can see wat has been done in Ogun, even leaving LAGOS out, in terms of industry.

It is true, we do have eyes and Deep Seaport construction ongoing in Akwacross, there is no more excuse.


We are not talking of Obiano building such, because he is on handover time now.


We are just trying to start the discussion and hopefully consultation, with the eventually possibility of a market study to ascertain economic feasibility, identify industrialist in SS and SE that can be potential partners as valid starting point for the development program.

Then we move to the design work.

BeijinDossier:
I have been saying it here. Mktinsight is a cursed demonic fellow that was sent here by the enemies of Anambra. He condemned airport even when he knows without airport major multinational investors will not consider you serious as Anambra is a frontline state in Nigeria. Even without airport and seaport, Anambra is already up there, so how much more when our imternational airport is completed and running, only 2 states like Lagos and Rivers(because of oil) can be above Anambra in the whole of Nigeria.

hammer3:

He said, people have eyes and they can see wat has been done in Ogun, even leaving LAGOS out, in terms of industry.


This is true, because right before our eyes Buhari is building pipeline to carry our development to Kano and North Africa, even Europe.


Buhari is not talking of building anything apart from gas pipeline for us.


But Buhari want to build gas processing plant and power plant in Kano.


U can imagine, Kano gets a gas processing plant and power plant, even without having gas.



U think they want us to develop or they will develop our area for us?


The same Europe that stole from Africa is taking away our last chance of industrialisation in pipeline to Europe.


How else do we industrialise?

mktinsight:
Ogun today has more industry than Lagos because of proximity, a planned estate, and cheap land and no traffic congestion. There are more industries in Ogun state than in the entire South East including those run by Anambrarians such as Beloxxi and Emzor.

But Ogun is not even all that. Nigeria doesn't have industry like South Africa or Egypt. We import okrika from Europe and America and fabric from China, clothes from Turkey, junk cars from America. Morocco makes 500,000 cars, the only assembly we gave which is Innoson and Peugeot barely assembly 10,000 cars a year.

So not much industry in Nigeria other than food and drinks and some household stuff. Even simple pen and paper we import.

rdokoye:


Nigeria has the largest industrial sector in Africa. Moroccans import far more stuff than Nigeria. Virtually nothing is made in Morocco, so, not a good example.

What exactly is manufactured in Ogun State for you to call it industrialised? There may be a few industries there, trying to leverage off the cheaper land costs, but that has more to do with the states proximity to Lagos, rather than anything the state is doing.

mktinsight:


Nigeria exports only oil and little else. Morocco on the other hand exports over $26b worth of goods.

About Ogun state, yes it leverages its proximity to Lagos which is the point I made about LOCATION. But for a country the size of Nigeria you need many industrial layouts not a few here and there. Many goods made in Niegria you see in the East come from Ogun/Agbara. Indomie, Milo, Hayat Tissue Paper, Maggi cubes, Floor and kitchen tiles, cement, aluminum profiles. Yes Anambra industrialists are trying but none has the scale of those multinationals. Nestle alone sells over 100b worth of goods produced in Ogun state.

Anambra for now is more of a distribution point. Onitsha has over 40 markets and people flock there to buy and carry elsewhere. But production wise you need 10 companies the size of Intafact Bewery and 500 companies the size of Cutix and Innoson to jumpstart the state employment wise.

rdokoye:


Nigeria doesn't even fulfil local demand, given its size, that's why it doesn't export on the same scale. But it's industries is several times the size of Morocco - that is a fact.

rdokoye:

I don't agree with you. What Ogun companies are manufacturing the tiles that are sold in Anambra? Why don't Ogun state have the commercial sector to facilitate the industries, you claim are producing, but no one has ever heard of. Ogun State's economy is smaller than Anambra.

Ogun States private sector is also significantly smaller, which is reflected in the level of infrastructure. The issue in Nigeria is the supply chain. Nigeria doesn't produce enough, because those in power, deliberately bottlenecked the economy, so that they could control the rate of growth and development, primarily in the Eastern region.

Rdokoye,
Sadly this guy is right. We have blindly reduced ourselves to being mere distribution markets for finished products from other parts of Nigeria. f only we can begin to pay attention to how they are using Igbos in this country. The same wsy they use our importers to keep their sea ports and airports busy. I am hoping that our people begin to pay attention than simply being slavishly industrious. By accepting anything schemed against them by simply working harder and harder to death!
