notobs: Sir, I am typically reading your posts to hear intelligent ways you would improve the state revenue base in order to create enough wealth for the type of all round massive development you have advocated. However, all your posts center on HOW to SPEND the meager allocation and nothing on how to GENERATE which is where we need your expertise. Well, SPENDING money is the easy part. Even a fool can spend a billion dollars in 2 minutes. The real ingenuity is in MAKING money. 10 Likes |

spyder880:Tourism is one of the ways enugu can improve its IGR and all the points i listed are things that could generate IGR too eg If chime had not abandoned the conference centre and hotel that were 80% completed by previous admin, those two projects in addition to improving the profile of enugu as a tourism viable city would have also improved the city's IGR. Think of the lost IGR from those projects in the past 8yrs while chime was busy fleecing the state. |

notobs: And if he didn't build the roads for the city to be top notch you will have people bumping their way around the pot holes in town in the name of one carnival or the other. Your IGR plan is not feasible. Name an event we can make a sustainable carnival, and...... did Chime not host top musical celebrities every year in Enugu? 3 Likes |

spyder880: For a start; complete all abandoned project especially the ones that have passes 50% completion stage, seeing that government has already spent huge resources on the said project. Improve IGR. Implement the national minimum wage prioritize rural development improve state schools and health facilities. Tackle corruption and impunity by state government officials Just a few of the things that chime failed to do. Now over to you what are the changes you want to see? |
Re: Enugu, The Pride Of The East. by notobs: 7:09pm On May 11, 2015 |
spyder880:Chime did not need to build any new road to make the conference centre viable, the centre was strategically sited in between umuawulu street, independence ave. and michael opara square which has typically had good roads even before chime was born. Stop making excuses for his failure. 1 Like |

spyder880:Spyder and ChimaAdeoye. You guys are begginning to annoy some us by wasting your hard earned knowledge educating that fella on the nitty gritty of governance. Please save your sweats! In another news,gburugburu already has a high-powered think thank made of up some of the most formidable yet silent technocrats in our clime,most of whom just came back from abroad. The "gooder" news is that these egg heads will be proceeding on an extensive drive to Europe,China and S.A using their estaablished contacts to bring in more FDI than we have seen anywhere around.The projection is in excess of hundred billion dollars and the drive has even resumed. Sulli nwa mama merely laid a solid foundation for us and raised the bar on governance in Enugu state. Far more better days are here.Iam merely privileged to know some of these egg heads and was thoroughly briefed about their activities. Udo diri unu! 5 Likes |

The governor deserves good credit abeg. Only those who understand will understand. Arm-chair criticism is easy, wheather your criticising a state governor or a football coach. Those who understand this city and state well will never forget Chime. Any governor can be brought down easily by any hell-bent critic. Tell them Kwankwaso has built massive bridges and they start telling why then are his people one of poorest; Tell them Akpabio did great in changing the face of uyo and ak state and they ask you what has he done to stop his people from trooping to lagos to make a living; tell them Obi did great and they remind you how Onitsha and nnewi are so unlivable, and how Awka is a glorified village.... Chime cannot and has never been perfect, but he has been well above average. It's a city and state I was born and lived all my life. We have followed its progress since time immemorial. This is the place I like centje's input. As a deltan, I pray we have a governor who would be like Chime; even if just to "paint the roads and light the streets". No to think about the money in my state. No doubt we want the next governor to be far better than Chime, but to take something away from the popular guy is kind of criminal. 9 Likes 1 Share |

omicron:lol my dear, it's surely criminal. i have not had time to contribute, just observing some dudes classifying chimes administration as failure, they sure need some examination at the neuropsyche in New Haven, Enugu. If you tell me Chime failed in some aspects I did agree, but if you say he is a total failure, men! I will slap you back to reality. How can we forget so soon how things were before chime appeared. I pray time will be on my side this week, I will write a detailed analysis of chime's administration, in a simple and plain English, straight to the points, and post it by this week end. I don't like combing issues, we go back to basics. It's easy to say build world class structures from the comfort of your sofa, but to give a detailed analysis of how you can do so with allocation of 90billion, detailed analysis of how you can improve IGR, you begin to scratch your head. Same people saying these things are still the ones who will shout 'hey, this governor is wasting tax payers money on white elephant projects'. You see, Buhari won with change theme and heavy criticism on GEJ, now the power is just about to land on him, we already hearing new song: 'don't expect the change overnight'. It's always easier to criticise, especially negatively but I repeat again, let's revisit Enugu before chime came in, let's not forget in a hurry! 3 Likes |

May i suggest the Creation of a Secret Group of Igbo Patriots from Igboland to guide & direct the affairs of the Igbos society. 1) The Secret group should be made of Elders,Engineers,Scientists,Military men,Wealthy men,Politicians,Philosophers etc. 2)They must be very passionate about Igbo cause. 3) They must be Progressive minded 4) They must be perfectionists 5) The goal is to build and maintain a First Class igbo society 6) They will lead and not just copy the world 7) Other Agenda must include the Stealing of superior Technology Secret from countries for competitive reason and Reverse engineering 8.They shall Recruit the Best of talents i call "Top Geniuses". A special fund will be created to take care of The salaries and welfare of this geniuses. This is How they should go about recruiting these people. First, the recruits shall be of two Groups: FORMAL GROUP(School-made group) & INFORMAL GROUP(gifted group) *FORMAL GROUP (School-made group) 1)This group shall be made of "Best graduates" from Igboland and Nigeria. Best graduates in, Maths,Physics,chemistry,nanotech,music,film production,engineering for example. 2) The Best known Lecturals or Coaches in Igboland & Nigeria. The Lecturals or Coaches must be vast in their fields like Nanotech,Physics,Chemistry,Film industry, Sports Structural Engineering,Maths etc.They should be able to guide the INFORMAL GROUP(below) & the graduates INFORMAL GROUP (Gifted group): *This Group shall be made of "Raw talents or Gifted people" from Igboland and Nigeria, eg.. the Fabricators,Mechanics,Welders,Eletronic repairers, Vulcanizers, Gifted artists, gifted musicians etc Assembling great minds for specific goal will be counter productive unless you have Versatile Team Leaders (which should come from the Formal Group) to lead the Both Formal & Informal group Most Bright people are unproductive or none adventurous. Gathering them together to create the next big thing or develop a hybrid space rocket for example,is like gathering exotic car parts to assemble themselve. The "Versatile team leaders" should be able identify these talents in his team and fit them in their fields (let say the fields are car engines & carburators production),get them specialised in the fields, improve and refine their products. A gifted carburator maker should not only make great carburators but also unique ones, believe it or not, there are thousands of unknown ways to cook a meal,refine petroleum make flying machines etc. So your carburator must not look exactly like BMW carburators- thank God Versatile team leader jobs will also include ensuring creativity & dynamism in his team. {THIS MODEL CAN BE REPLICATED IN OTHER FIELDS LIKE JUDICIARY, CIVIL SERVICE,FILM INDUSTRY,SPACE RESEARCH,ARMY,EVEN PRIVATE BUSINESSES.. ETC}.So the Army will have the best graduate in military courses,best known military coaches, gifted soldiers ( from the INFORMAL GROUP) & "Versatile Military Team Leaders". Same goes for the Judiciary, Civil Service, Film Industrye.t.c So Here are the Qualities Versatile Team Leaders MUST possess. 1. He must be able 2 Predict the future 2. His must have strong Willpower 3. He must be risktaker and Open minded 4. He must be an enterpreur 5. Must be a Progressive Radical 6.His team must constantly invent New and Improved product 7. He must be very consistent leader 8. His team must be innovating constantly 9. Must have the ability to put together something irresistable,competitive and durable. 10. He must not neccesarly have the best accademic qualification NOTE that this is still about Secret Igbo Patriots All you need to know about them: *They are usually reserved for sensetive government project. *Their major goal is to build Progressive & First class igbo society for the citizens of Igboland *They act as the last resort if everything else fails. *They also work to protect the interest of every igbo citizen. *They help grow and establish some of the Top private companies and Establishment in Igboland ADOPTING ECONOMY MODEL OF SUCCESSFUL SOCIETIES let me try & keep this part short & simple... What is the secret of Advanced society? Answer: They turn virtually everything into business!! In other word,they are deeply enmeshed in capitalism and the reason being that Capitalism is self-sustaining. There is hardly any free thing in advanced world,even the so called Welfare scheme is funded with taxes. Their Grand Rule: "If We Must Build, we must Turn It Into Profitable Business or Create A Sustainable Source For Funding It"... OTHERWISE LET THE PRIVATE SECTOR TAKE CARE OF THAT." This concept is common in the infrastruture and culture like thier Roads, Parks,Trains,Stadia,Education, Science and Tech. The Beautiful things about Capitalist model is that government makes tons of money from these sea of companies. The country becomes very rich in the end and there is enough to go around in terms of Infrastrure, Welfare and Improved standard of living. FINALLY, Funding The Top Geniuses: funding should come from government,donations and private sector. I recommend they start with 30billion naira per year,not enough though but it's still better than nothing. FUNDING Private Businesses: If you wish to go into Battery production for example,be sure to have a reasonable amount of fund and the right team. Successfully producing great batteries will attract more fund from Banks,Donations & Investors. 4 Likes |

Here is one of many Reasons Why Igbo Needs an a Well-funded Secret Group *Believe it or not the North has a well-funded secret group. Excerpt from Wikipedia: The ACF (Arewa Consultative Forum) is a well-funded group with military and intelligence expertise,& is considered capable of engaging in military action, including covert bombing. Co- founder of the APC, Sagir Mohammed, has stated: "We believe we have the capacity,the willpower to go to any part of Nigeria to protect our our Northern brothers in distress if it becomes necessary,if we have to use violence,we have to use it to save our people. If it means jihad, we will launch our jihad." |

[quote author=Bishop42 post=33657832]May i suggest a Secret Brotherhood of Patriots from SouthEast who will direct the developmemt and advancement of the Igbos society and Black race. 1) The Secret group should be made of Elders, Engineers,Scientists,Military men,Billionires, Politicians,Philosophers,Gurus etc. 2) They must be extremely passionate about the Igbos. 3) They must be Progressive in thinking 4) They must be perfectionists 5) The agenda is to build a First Class igbo society 6) The Agenda must be about leading not just copying the world 7) Other Agenda Must be the Stealing of superior Technology Secret from countries, for competetive reasons. 8.

Fabricators,Mechanics,Welders,Eletronic repairers, Vulcanizers etc Assembling great minds for specific purposes would be counter productive unless you have Versatile Team Leaders (should come from the Formal Group) to lead the Team(Both Formal & Informal group). Most Bright people tend to be passive or not adventerous. Gathering them together to create the next big thing or develop a hybrid space rocket for example,is like gathering exotic car parts to assemble itsself. The "Versatile team leaders" should be able identify a given talent in each member of his team, fit it in his or her field (let say the field is car engines or carburators production) get him specialise in it, improve and refine his product. A gifted carburator maker should not only make great carburators but also unique ones,because, believe it or not, there are thousands of unknown ways to cook a meal,refine petroleum make flying machine or stuff like that. So,your carburator must not look exactly like BMW carburators- Thank God for the Versatile team leader whose job will also be to ensure dynamism in his team. {THIS MODEL CAN BE REPLICATED IN OTHER FIELD LIKE JUDITIARY, CIVIL SERVICE,SPACE RESEARCH,MILITARY,EVEN PRIVATE BUSINESSES.. ETC}..E.g The Military will have the best graduate in military courses,best known military coaches, gifted soldiers (the INFORMAL GROUP) & Versatile Team military Leaders. Same goes for the Juditiary, Civil Service,e.t.c So Here are the Qualities Versatile Team Leaders MUST possess. 1. He must be a Futurist 2.His Willpower must be impregnable 3.He must be adventrous and Open minded 4. He must have a mind of an enterpreur 5. Must be Radical progressive. 6.His team must constantly make New and Improved product 7. He must be consistent 8. His team must be innovating constantly 9. Must have the ability to put together something irresistable,competitive and durable. 10. He must not neccesarly have the best accademic qualification NOTE that this piece is still about the Underground patriots(The Secret Brotherhood). All you need to know about them: *They are usually reserved for sensetive government project. *Their major goal is to build Progressive and First class society for the citizens of SouthEast *They act as the last resort if everything else fails. * They act as guardians of every citizen of Southest. *They help grow and establish some of the Top private companies and Establishment in SouthEast ADOPTING D ECONOMY MODEL OF SUCCESSFUL SOCIETIES To avoid making this part boring, i will make it short & simple... So are the Advanced society so developed? Answer: They turn virtually everything into business!! In other word,they are deeply enmeshed in capitalism and the reason being that Capitalism is self-sustaining. There is hardly any free thing in advanced world,even the so called Welfare scheme is funded with taxes. Their Grand Rule: "If We Must Build, we must Turn It Into Profitable Business or Create A Sustainable Source For Funding It"... "OTHERWISE LET THE PRIVATE SECTOR TAKE CARE OF THAT." These phylosophy is seen everywhere such as thier Roads, Parks,Trains,Stadia,Education, Science and Tech. The Beautiful things about Capitalist model is that government makes tons of money from these sea of companies. The country becomes very rich enventually and there is enough to go around in terms of Infrastrure, Welfare and Improved standard of living. FINALLY, How 2 FUND Th Top Geniuses: funding should come from government & private donation. I recommend they start with 30billion naira per year,though not enough for effectivness and somewhat too small for a project of this size,it still better than nothing. FUNDING Private Businesses: If you wish to go into Battery production for example,be sure to have a reasonable amount of fund and the right team.
