I love the fact that Obiano commissioned this project on December 28th, 2021 as promised.

As he already indicated, whatever work is still outstanding will continue after the commissioning. This means the car park and other works can continue.

Monimichelle really delayed this project hoping for endless contract reviews, and almost messed Obiano up. Using the oldest trick employed by a typical Nigerian contractor which is to give a litany of excuses why nothing was done so as to endlessly delay the completion of a project and thus demand upwards review of contracts due to inflation. My regret is that he gave them the maintenance contract for the pitch.

Hopefully, they will acquire adequate land along the new Anambra Intl. airport dual carriageway to build the Olympic Anambra international stadium. That site will be the best location for the state's Olympic stadium as it will be easily accessible and almost equidistant from Awka or Onitsha.

Like Ebonyi state is building its Olympic stadium in the Ochiudo city even though it has a basic stadium within Abakaliki city.

My brother let's not blame anybody apart from the Anambra international conference center awka which was started in 2015 Obiano started his legacy projects at the tail end of his administration thats why everything now is in a hurry

Like Ebonyi state is building its Olympic stadium in the Ochiudo city even though it has a basic stadium within Abakaliki city. It will cost about the same to build the Anambra international stadium, than to add up to 30,000 sitting capacity in the Awka City stadium. Moreover, it allows Anambra to have a standard stadium in Awka and an International Olympic stadium for hosting major sporting events in one arena.

One thing, i will give you guys working for Obiano is that your research is second to none.


The location for the Stadium is perfect.


It should be within proximity to the International airport.


No right thinking person, will argue with that location.


However, u know some of our brothers are clannish and will rather want it in their locality rather than reason the strategic interest associated with siting it within the airport locality.

OreMI22:


At least, I am working for the good of my state and the overall good of Igboland by extension. ...and doing it all the way from the United States!

You left your state and came to Anambra to do IPOB and ESN. Endlessly arguing for IPOB ideology in Anambra thread instead of IMO or Abia thread!

The funniest part is that you shameless people have the effrontery to demand what the elected Anambra leaders must do for IPOD. After doing all in your power to frustrate elections in my state!

Tueh! I don't have time for you IPOB pigs! I also will not be responding or joining issues with half illiterates that don't know when to use uppercase in a sentence. Ndo nu!

You’re right on this one. And they’re really versed on most discourse here. Likes of Oremi,ChimaAde,1StSon etc; even the very internalAudi guy

Nwanne, calm down. I feel your outrage too. Anyone who does not agree with their methods is a sabo or must be working for the government. There are two schools of thought on this issue. The first school of thought wants the total destruction of Biafraland and the death of every Biafran if that is what it takes for Biafra to emerge. The second school of thought wants the development of Biafraland and a democratic approach to the struggle using non-violent means.

I also subscribe with the latter and disagree with the criminality going on in Imo state in the name of Biafra. However, I don't blame the youths nor do I blame Nnamdi Kanu. Although I think his utter contempt and disregard for Igbo elders and Igbo leaders or anybody whatsoever that holds any contrary opinion is the reason he fell into the trap of being lured to Kenya and the current state of the struggle today as a result of that mistake.

Like MNK and IPOB, Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge were of the opinion that in order to kill corruption and materialism, every corrupt, wealthy or materialistic Cambodian had to be killed. So as to usher in a new generation of Cambodians with the mindset of extreme communism, lack of any desire for profit-making / corruption in the new population.

Pol Pot was wrong because he failed to realize that every vice was learned and therefore, even some of those who will be born in the next 20 years, will be corrupt or armed robbers! That is why I always tell my Biafran brothers that we must fix our homeland first and promote pan-Igbo unity. The idea of destroying everything we have in the belief that once we get Biafra every vice will magically disappear and our homeland would magically develop itself is totally mistaken. Just like Pol Pot was mistaken to believe that killing every corrupt or rich Cambodian and not building strong anti-corruption institutions to punish corrupt people, was the best way to fight corruption. It is even more funny when you view that Cambodia today ranks among the most corrupt countries on earth! After all the ill-advised killings of its business community and wealthy citizens! Let our brothers understand that you can develop your homeland as you struggle to get your freedom.

I truly was not angry. I just felt his usual irritation of tagging everyone a government agent. He did the same in Enugu thread when I actively supported Sullivan Chime's developmental projects. It is in the same spirit that I praise Gov. Dave Umahi and route for the successful completion of his projects, especially the Abakaliki airport project.

I guess as you rightly pointed out, my only desire is to fix my homeland. I look around Nigeria and see how Igbos are despised and derided. Yet the same despised Igbos remain unconcerned and struggle to outdo themselves on who would own more investment in Lagos, Kano, Abuja, etc, and I ask myself what is wrong with our people?? They rarely want to learn from their own history and experience. They only learn from bitter personal experiences. So when those people in Lagos and elsewhere go after them, I rarely feel for them because they need to learn from personal experience to believe anything. The clear handwriting on the wall is that people should learn to fix their homeland first or at least have a fall-back investment there in case of losing everything. Other Nigerian tribes know this. Why it's so hard for the average Igbo person to appreciate remains a wonder. The same Igbo traders that gleefully abandoned the Oba International market to develop swamps in Lagos called trade fair complexes, will complain when these things are demolished overnight with all the goods in it. Then they bribe the officials to buy the demolished store of his brother to build his own. Which of course will be demolished in the next round of demolitions.

As Lagos Governor Fashola once asked Igbos why it was so hard to fix their homeland with the type of resources they control in Lagos? Well, an average Igboman would rather fix Lagos so that he will drag it with Yorubas than fix his own homeland. As fixing his homeland makes him "local & Igbotic". I am glad many people are beginning to reject that mindset of abandoning their homeland and going to struggle for Lagos with Yorubas.

If Buhari were an Igboman, he would not address the infrastructural decay in Igboland nor address the marginalization of the zone. As doing so would make him "Igbotic".

Anyhow, enjoy some highlights of today's events at the Awka City Stadium.

hammer567:
Obiano tried to make himself a first, in building certain infrastructure for Anambra State. Kudos to him on that, but this is not a befitting stadium for Ndi-Anambra.


We aspire to build something even better than the one in Akwa Ibom.



Anambra leads and others follow, as per light of the nation status.


Unto the next one.

Ceegar01:
Akwa ibom type of stadium is not my problem but I want obiano to add more pavilion to it like the eket stadium or asaba own Obiano is still my best governor till tomorrow

Nnewi Billionaire Businessman, Louis Carter, Empowers 21 Youths With 1 Million Naira Each
Nnewi-born industrialist and philanthropist, Chief Sir Louis Izuchukwu Onwugbenu (Okpata Ozuo Ora Nnewi) have doled out 21 Million Naira to youths in his community, Uruagu Nnewi, to enable them to engage in meaningful ventures.
Giving out the cheque of N1M each to the lucky youths, Chief Louis Onwugbenu who is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Louis Carter Group of Companies, said he was moved to empower the youths in the community after he observed that majority of the people that trooped to his residence on Christmas Day were asking for Christmas gifts.
According to the 68 years old, he decided that the best response was to empower some members of the community, especially the youths who will in return help others. He noted that If many people are rich, the burden would not be heavy on one man, or a handful of people.
The beneficiaries who were drawn from different communities in Uruagu Nnewi were picked through a ballot from candidates.
Chief Sir Louis Izuchukwu Onwugbenu who is known for philanthropic strides over the years has continued to use his foundation to empower members of his community.

Nice one. This is the Anambra spirit we're known for.

Just hope na responsible youths clinched those millions. Wish they were assigned mentors. Ego nweé kwa mmuó nke ya.

abuzz33:
The goal is sports development not throwing away money. This is good enough for SPORTS DEVELOPMENT but it should be renamed Awka SPORTS COMPLEX and an indoor multipurpose arena should be built on its southern side for indoor Basketball, Volleyball, Wrestling, Handball, Table Tennis, Judo, Taekwondo and boxing. 2 Outdoor reinforced concrete courts should be built on its north western side for outdoor tennis/basketball with a sandpit for volleyball or beach football.ey should arrange to rent out the facilities for secondary school teams and institute a low gate fee for sports and fitness enthusiasts for upkeep and maintenance.

Coming from Nnewi.. They only need to lool around for motivation.. The investment drive and the drice to improve ones life is second to non in Nnewi...

Most will succeed
