Govt Demolishes Nkwo Nnewi Triangle For Security Reasons by soma042(m): 8:24am On Feb 17, 2012 |
Ojukwu’s burial: Anambra govt demolishes Nkwo Nnewi Triangle From IJEOMA ONUORAH, Nnewi Friday February 17, 2012 • Photo: Sun News Publishing More Stories on This Section Anambra State Government yesterday razed the Nkwo Nnewi Triangle, saying it is a security threat to the burial of Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu. Reacting to the outrage of traders and motorists in the park, Commissioner for Environment, Dr Mike Egbebuike, who led the team that demolished the structure said the government was committed in giving the late Ikemba Nnewi, Chief Odumegwu Ojukwu, a befitting burial and nothing would be a hindrance. According to him: “I don’t know yet the full content of what we would do thereafter Ojukwu’s burial because we have to refer to the structural plan of Nnewi to know what that place is meant for. But for now, we are preparing it for parking during the burial. After the burial, we would give it an aesthetic touch to beautify the town.” However, palace Secretary to the traditional ruler of Nnewi, Prince Joseph Ikeotuonye admitted being aware that the structures would be pulled down, as the traders had been paid compensation of not less than N250,000 each for them to relocate by the Federal Government. In his words: “What they are doing is for security reasons. The world would be here soonest to convey their condolences to our deceased hero, Dim Ojukwu and so the shanties can’t be there. It has to give way, especially, since they have been paid compensation by the Federal Government of not less than N250, 000 each. Nzuko Ora will relocate them to a land already marked out for them.’’ President-General of Nzuko Ora (decision making body)Nnewi, Chief Agu Onyeka, admitted compensation was paid but did not want to say the minimum amount paid them as it was done before he assumed office. Hear him: “The place belongs to Nnewi community. We paid compensation to them, but they refused to relocate . Now that the burial of Dim Ojukwu is at hand, we met with the government and Igwe Orizu on that and agreed it is a security threat. It has to go now that the Federal Government had even paid them compensation through Nzuko-Ora Nnewi.’’ But traders are alleging that the compensation was diverted, accusing the town of giving some of them meagre amounts, which were not enough to relocate them. They accused the Nzuko Ora of diverting the compensation. http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/news/national/2012/feb/17/national-17-02-2011-007.html

Before you ( railway workers) start your unsolicitated operation, the traders have already been compensated and relocated, I believe the security of lives is paramount, beside, any place can be used as a market place as long as we have people and goods/ services around. |

That triangle is a security risk, because anyone can hide there to launch an attack on visitors. No stone should be left unturned to ensure a peaceful and succeessful event. |

I believe people around the world will not die at the same time right? The main thing to note here is that the Nkwo Nnewi have been there before late Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojugwu was born meaning that business activities are going on there by the people and for the people knowing fully well what the late Hero faught for, get it right here please. If actually traders in Nkwo Nnewi were fully paid to relocate and somewhere mapped out for them as in their businesses and they refused to quit, security agents should have their way on them but if the N250,000 each that was mentioned here did not get to each an every one of them even before now, the traders there must have to stand fame and do their shows please. That is one thing about evil 'one Nigeria' as a country that wakes up at the Eleventh hour. Things are not done as at when due. Be it roads to fix, schools, Health Centres, Water, Light, jobs etc that the commons will enjoy, one way or the other comes in with their 'abrakadabra' moves against poor masses of this country by the government in place. People should not forget easily the main thing late Chukwuemeka fought for; injustice which is called Nigeria. |
