Landmack: Look at Keke/Shuttle operators giving condition to government. How weak can you be as a governor when they are giving you condition? But they see that all his pronouncements have no backbone. He told touts to get off the street, they stayed away for 2 weeks went back and nothing happened. He told street traders to stop trading on the street, they stopped for a few days, went back and nothing happened. This is what is known as a lame duck. A dog with a broken leg. All bark. No bite. Soludo should man up. The solution is very simple. Send vigilante people around and pick up those touts. Take them straight to the nearest police station. Jail them for three days. Every day take them out of cell, chain their legs, put uniform that says "no more touting", take them to the dirtiest gutter and let them clear out the dirt from the gutter. After the three days, get their identification and take video of them promising not to engage in touting again otherwise they will be jailed for a longer period. For the Street traders who see the frontage of markets as shopping space. The solution is simple. Do what Obi did to them. Send Vigilantes with a truck to seize their goods. Identify who they are. After one week release their goods after they pay 5,000 naira fine with a warning. Second time offenders, seize their goods and share it to government workers. When you are done you will not see one barrow in front of Eke Awka or Ochanja. For the Keke/Shuttle boys have a traffic management team. Keke/Shuttle's driving badly fine N1,000. Keke/Shuttle parking illegally fine N3,000. The traffic management authority should share the fines 50:50 with the state government. Every Keke/Shuttle should be registered within a local government, drivers must have a driver's license, undergo Anambra road traffic test and have their vehicles certified every year. Those driving keke/shuttle illegally without license should have their vehicles impounded and be heavily fined. 1 Like 1 Share |

abuzz33: Patricia Igwebuike is turning out to be the worst Commissioner that cannot control simple transport sector. https://www.lawrevision2019.an.gov.ng/patricia-ifeoma-igwebuike-esq.html They are talking tax when what you see on ground are thousands of lawless young men driving like mad people in the name of keke and shuttle, obstructing roads, congesting junctions. Very disorganized set of people. Mrs Igwebuike doesnt know what she is doing and it shows. You will not see this madness in Abakaliki or Enugu or many cities across Nigeria. But Anambra is now chaos defined and like rats in a sewer, touts, thieves are flooding into Anambra. |

Fulfil Your Promise By Removing Touts Or Forget N15,000 Tax – Anambra Motorcyclists Tell Governor Soludo September 23, 2022 NEWS The motorcyclists and tricycle drivers, who have been protesting in Awka since Thursday lamented that the burden of taxation and exploitation was too much for them to bear. Commercial motorcyclists and tricycle operators popularly known as Keke Napep riders in Awka, Anambra State capital have called on the state Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, to fulfill his promise of getting rid of touts or forget about the N15,000 monthly tax imposed on them. The motorcyclists and tricycle drivers, who have been protesting in Awka since Thursday lamented that the burden of taxation and exploitation was too much for them to bear, saying they could no longer afford hire purchase tricycles given to them. Recall that the state government had asked Keke Napep riders across the state to pay N15,000 tax per month, promising to end illegal revenue collection by getting rid of touts and illegal tax collectors. But speaking with SaharaReporters on Friday at the popular Arroma Roundabout at the heart of Awka, some of the protesting Keke Napep riders said that the state government had unleashed its tax on them for the implementation of the N15,000 levy while they still paid touts at every terminal. The protesters carried placards with various inscriptions including “Soludo: Solution please help us solve this payment out because is too much for Keke drivers”, “Soludo please help us. The money is too much for us to be paying”, “Say no to N15,000”, “We no go pay”. One of the protesters who identified himself as Joseph Bassey said, “We don’t need Agberos (touts). What we are saying is that Soludo asked us to pay N15,000 monthly for each Keke rider but the N15,000 is too much for us to pay for each person per month. At least N5,000 is okay for us. “Since April, the governor asked us not to pay any money again to agberos but since then till now we are still paying them money. In fact, we have paid N500 to agberos this morning. How will it be easy for us to be paying the government N15,000 and still be paying agberos N500 every day?” Another protester who refused to mention his name pointed out that particularly in the Ifite axis of the city, “We pay N1500 and stop at Book Foundation and we will not even reach the school gate. If we pass the Book Foundation, another set of agberos are there collecting N7000. What is the essence of paying the government N15,000 and still be paying agberos? “Every day, we pay N1500 from Arroma Roundabout to Book Foundation, paying for Government House N600, while every Friday is N800. Who loses, the government or we? How much do we make a day? It is either the government stops agberos, then we can pay the money because the summation of the money we pay to the government and the agberos, it is about N35,000 per month.” They alleged that their supposed leaders were the ones fueling the forceful implementation of the N15,000 levy by the government, adding that Thursday, some government tax force raided their park and took some of their colleagues to police station for failure to pay the levy. Bassey said that they have tried to explain to the government officials that they are still finding it difficult to register their Keke with the government but to no avail. “I have gone to the Government House several times but the registration kept showing invalid OTP (One Time Password) and it is not only me. Even the people who came to harass us yesterday, we tried to explain to them that the government has not rectified the registration issues we have been complaining about but they refused to listen.” According to them, “agbero is the problem of the Keke riders and as for now, we don’t have any union or government. We are on our own.” SaharaReporters’ efforts to get the state Commissioner for Transportation, Patricia Igwebuike, to comment on the matter failed as she did not answer calls made to her phone number nor reply to a text message sent to her. Meanwhile, the aggrieved protesters have vowed to sustain the protest until the government attended to their demand. 1 Like |

Ethiopian Airlines is a well managed outfit. The JV will be the same way MTN came to Nigeria as an average company and became a major player in Africa. A Nigerian airline with ET as operator will make it easy for Nigerians to fly London - Lagos - Enugu or New York - Lagos - Enugu than flying all the way to Ethiopia and back. 2 Likes |

Omanambala: Obiano and his cabal looted from the usual. Inflated Road, Bridge, flyover and airport. The flyovers in Awka cost 15 billion naira. Can you imagine? From 1 billion it was estimated under Obi. 15 billion was almost $100 million dollars. Then his oil rig bridges and adjoining roads at Aguleri Uno cost 20 billion. Then he was allocating 13 billion every year to the office of the governor which he used to fly chartered jets and hire over 100 special advisors whom he lodged at Trigpoint Hotel. Obiano was extremely wasteful. The airport and ICC cost well over 60 billion some of whose cost Soludo is saddled with. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Omanambala: Touts are attracted to places where there is excessive illegal commercial activity. They operate in Anambra because there are way too many keke vehicles, shuttles, buses all driving insanely, parking illegally. You can never see touts enter bus parks or inside markets. They operate on the fringes. The state government should focus on regulating transport and markets and getting rid of the lawless behavior of keke, shuttle and buses loading on the side of roads or people selling inside barrow or shacks outside markets. Markets should have parking places for buses within their walls. Keke and shuttle should be banned from plying main roads of (Onitsha/Awka) and expressways. Limit them to neighbourhoods or university area. Only 12 seater buses should ply main roads and be provided with bus stops. All those barrow hawkers that line up outside markets or sell on top of pavements should be removed and relocated to walled in spaces for evening or sunday markets like what you see in Lagos. Get them off the roads completely. 6 Likes |

About soil types, when Soludo is ready to build roads he should do proper soil stabilisation with cement on the sub base not using laterite before pouring asphalt because a lot of the soils in Anambra have poor load bearing characteristics and need to be reinforced. They should also relocate all markets out of cities because those trailers contribute to destruction of roads.

Landmack: He should look at the ATMA and market people that collect money from all those barrows and look the other way. If you want to stop those idiots in front of eke awka Ngonadi should shut down the market until the market leaders banish those hawkers for good. Let them take responsibility. After all how can someone paying 20k per month for shop plus waste levies selling beans inside the market lose business to someone whose only plan is to buy barrow fill it with beans and sit at the entrance and only pay 200 naira a day while messing up the road. Go and rent shop of 50k elsewhere they will not do. Its only to ride on the back of someone's success. Someone will be selling phone cases and gadgets in shops with light, AC, staff, a hawker will carry barrow load it with phone cases and destroy that man's business. Go rent shop in another part of Awka and look for customer the hard way. They will not do. 4 Likes |

hammer3x: Look I have worked in the US on big projects. You are posting pictures. Engineering projects like bridges are designed for specic load bearing factors. You do not amend their design by adding another level. The cheapest way to add the train route is doing what they do in US and using steel to build a bridge solely for rail cars. |

stasius: Lets deal with facts. No data suggests that Onitsha metropolis is up to 10million. Several data sources show that Anambra has a population much less than states like Kaduna and Kano. 1. The data on mobile subscribers in Nigeria is a rough gauge of the population of states: https://www.nigerianstat.gov.ng/pdfuploads/Telecoms_Sector_Data_%E2%80%93_Q1_2021.pdf 2. NIN Registrations reflects this also and for the pop of states x it by 2 to account for children: https://nimc.gov.ng/enrolment-dashboard-june-july-2022/ These data suggests Anambra population (both indigene and strangers) is between 4-5 million at best. Of course Anambrarians living outside is probably at least 2 million. |

Revealed: How Obiano govt sold Anambra’s dollar savings By Our Reporter On Nov 10, 2017 Share A crisis is brewing between Anambra State Governor Willy Obiano and opposition parties over the alleged secret sale of the state’s dollar savings in the last three and half years. The governor, according to sources, has disposed of the cash saved for the state by his predecessor, Mr. Peter Obi. In the last transaction, over N10 billion was realized, according to one documents The Nation stumbled on. The last transaction was carried out, following a letter of March 17, 2017 by the Anambra State Investment Promotion and Protection Agency. In the letter of authority, its Chief Executive Officer Joe-Billy Ekwunife, directed Afrinvest, the firm appointed by Obiano to manage the savings to carry out the transaction. The agency directed the firm to execute a partial sale of the Eurobond Portfolio domiciled with two commercial banks to raise N3.7 billion and N6.3 billion. According to sources, the bonds in one commercial bank that were disposed, following the directive, included 6.75 per cent 28 January 2021 FGN bond with a face value of $30,000 and 6.38 per cent 12 July 2023 FGN bond with a face value of $50,00. “There are also the 10.5 per cent 19 October bond with a face value of $21,000 and eight percent July 2021 FGN Bond with a face value of $14,000. The FBN bond was sold in two tranches of $9,000 and $5,000. Prior to their sale, the savings had yielded billions of Naira as revealed by the manager,” the source added. Also, it was disclosed that each time the bonds were sold, the agency directed Afrinvest to credit the money realised into the Anambra State Special Excess Crude Account. It was not immediately clear yesterday if the special account is not under the purview the state’s Accountant-General. It was learnt that the first sale of the dollars accounted for the disposal of 8.25 per cent of a first generation bank’s bonds from which about $10.2 million was realised. This amounted to about N3 billion, going by the exchange rate at the time. The bond, which was to mature in August 2020, had an annual coupon yield of 8. 25 per cent and it was purchased by another bank at a much discounted rate on December 18, 2015. |
