Three killed, one abducted in Awka cult related clash Published on December 15, 2021 By Joe Chukindi At least three persons, including two policemen, an unidentified woman were on Tuesday evening killed by unknown gunmen, suspected to be cultists. A source said the gunmen blocked a red Toyota Corolla car being driven by a man identified as Snoop, who is also the leader of tricycle riders in Awka North and Awka South Local Government Area of Anambra State. The source said Snoop was being accompanied by two armed policemen from the state Anti-Cult department when he was accosted, and that the two policemen lost their lives, while a woman who was passing by was hit by a stray bullet. “Snoop himself was dragged out of his car and put in the trunk of the car driven by the assailants, while riffles belonging to the policemen were made away with,” the source said. DAILY POST gathered that heavy shooting at the Unizik junction sent many people scampering for safety. There has been heightened fear in Awka as a result of a proposed protest by members of the tricycle riders association, over a N4,000 levy being imposed on each tricycle rider in Awka North and Awka South Local Government Area, which was tagged Christmas party levy. Some tricycle riders had protested the levy. The Chief Convener of Recover Nigeria Project(RNP), Comrade Ositadimma Obi had stated that his group would join the tricycle riders on a protest on Wednesday. There are fears that cult related clashes in Awka are mostly aggravated by tricycle riders. As of the time of filing this report, the spokesperson of the Anambra State Police Command, DSP Toochukwu Ikenga was yet to react to the killing. |

Rocksvibes234: Quality roads require good sub base, drainage and ordinances. If you build road with packed laterite and asphalt on top, no matter how you slope it, it will surely fail quickly from unstable soil under. People selling cement and iron rod or citing petrol stations inside towns hasten destruction of roads. The weight of a dangote trailer is over 40 tonnes. A 33,000 litre petrol tanker weighs over 25 tonnes. The load bearing weight of a local road is far lower. All those delivery trucks that carry drinks, sacks of rice, vegetable oil to markets inside towns destroy the roads. Most modern cities have integrated drainage systems and well constructed roads. They separate residential from commercial by siting petrol stations, warehouses and shopping malls along wide 3 lane avenues and expressways. In Nigeria authorities allow markets to grow without control anywhere and anyhow. Only in Nigeria will you see a market on a local single lane road with an entrance barely wide enough for a trailer to be using to enter to offload. 5 Likes |

BKayy: The terminal is ok . What matters is that it is a starting point. The state should now focus heavily on a holistic redesign of the transport infrastructure of the state. 1) 20-40 seater City buses with concessional operators should replace keke and shuttle in next 5 years with planned routes and schedules for Awka metropolitan and Onitsha. This will improve livability. 2) Central Bus stations with offices, conveniences and shops should be built for inter City and intra state bus companies to pick up and drop off passengers from. 3) Every city has to be designed with at least 5 wide avenues for traffic flow and connecting streets. The maze design of roads in Nigerian cities is for villages. Modern cities have grid networks to make transport and delivery of other city utilities like water, sewage, waste disposal easier. Awka should be planned by expanding and planning roads towards Awka North. The Old Town of Awka should be decongested by relocating the eke market, prisons, governors Lodge elsewhere. In Onitsha, Ochanja should be relocated. 6 Likes 1 Share |

plaindealer: One good thing about Eat n Go is that it is the western QSR that has stepped outside of the mall format to build standalone fast food restaurants in local communities. I first ate at a Domino's pizza at Osolo Way, Lagos and was impressed. I hope that it teaches Nigerian businesses how to architect a fast food restaurant from branding to interior design to functionality. Most Nigerian fast food restaurants are what Americans will call "Diners" where you have a plethora of menu items and you sit down and eat. The only thing is that you go and get your food from the counter. Fast Food is supposed to be fast and well packaged. I expect Burger King or a local burger chain to copy Eat n Go in its Nigerian expansion. 1 Like |

AmericanQuarter: Ibiza owned by Cubana group. They are taking it to the next level in contrast to all the point and kill operations on Club Road. I hope the incoming administration does something about Club Road which is now a premier commercial district in Awka. Remove the poorly constructed road, put a heavy cement base at least 4 inches thick, cover the gutters and put pavement for pedestrians. Put a traffic lights. Widen Oby Okoli to dual carriageway. Put an overhead bridge connecting Old INEC with Regina Caeli. Tax all those businesses for the road and bridge. 3 Likes |

PROUDIGBO: Soludo knows that the way you do infrastructure is with structured finance not the standard way states do it by using federal allocation from oil revenue. It handicaps them in terms of project time frame and delivery because it means that if your allocation is 4 billion a month then you pay contractors every month and projects take long to execute and are expensive. Obi tried to get out of that straitjacket by saving money for most of his first term and then building in the second term. Soludo solution is going to be raising cheap funds for larger projects like roads and the industrial layouts, partnering with development agencies for education, health, etcs and getting Anambrarians to co invest on community projects like security, water, schools, clinics and local roads. The diaspora already remit over 1 billion dollars to Anambra so its a matter of trust. This is why he wants government to be transparent with every expenditure, detailed, documented and open. Give people honesty they will be confident to give. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Soludo: Industrialist wants revenue touts off Anambra roads By Chinonso Ihekire 20 November 2021 | 3:04 am [FILES] Soludo As the good people of Anambra State continue to bask in the euphoria of the just concluded governorship election won by former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo, the Chairman/CEO of MACDON Group of Companies, Chief Mike Emerah, has called on the governor-elect to get ready to bring his expertise to bear on revenue services in the state and by so doing flush out touts and those milking the treasury. Speaking on his expectations from the governor-elect, Emerah decried the method of revenue collection in the state, observing that the way touts parade tickets and demand for payments from motorists, traders and wheelbarrow pushers at the markets, motor parks and bus stops was very crude and unacceptable. He wondered why the job of revenue collection should be left in the hands of touts, noting that the involvement of touts in revenue services amounts to corruption and economic sabotage. He blamed the menace of touting on the agents contracted by the state Ministries of Transport and Trade and Commerce, noting that the Commissioners for the two ministries shouldn’t allow agents to engage touts as revenue collectors. “Soludo has to stop the crude way of revenue collection in Anambra State and ensure adequate supervision of the activities of Ministries of Transport and Trade and Commerce to prevent corruption and economic sabotage. He has to ensure that the revenue of the state is safe, secure and used for the purpose of executing development projects on education, health care services and roads, among others,” he said. He stressed that touting was not supposed to be seen in Anambra State, which prides itself as the Light of the Nation, in this digital age. Emerah also drew the attention of the governor-elect to the plight of investors and industrialists in the state, noting that he has to create a conducive environment for them to enable them to sustain, expand and create more jobs for residents. “The clamour to attract investors into the state is a welcome development, but attention has to be given to us that is existing so that we can expand and churn out more jobs. We need government’s support for sustenance and expansion,” he added. 4 Likes |

BKayy: RCC used concrete as a sub base on the roads that Ngige built and the road they are constructing from Umunya. Same with the company that reconstructed old Enugu road. But the reason many street roads collapse is poor drainage and poor soil stabilisation. The local contractors compact the soil and overlay it with asphalt. Water does not run off completely but sometimes collects. Eventually during the rainy season when the water level rises and then falls during the dry season the soil underneath changes shape and cracks appear and then pot holes. There are also places where the soil has high clay content such as the oji axis and amansea. Clay soil retains water and has poor load bearing capacity. To construct roads in such places requires doing what RCC did at Ore which is excavate the clay and replace it with a stronger sub grade. Soludo govt should do a state wide soil mapping if it has not been done. This will help determine what materials to use to construct roads, drainage system and erosion mitigation. They should also reform the Ministry of Works, partner with external donors, bring in experts, staff it with qualified engineers to construct local roads and drainage systems according to proper engineering specifications. In terms of drainage, they should replace gutters with underground hdpe drainage pipes. Install water, sewage and cable pipes alongside them. Let it be a 30 year project building out a proper city wide integrated underground drainage, water and sewage system for Awka, Nnewi and Onitsha. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Congratulations Cee Cee Soludo. The forces of darkness have been defeated. Kudos to Willie Obiano who despite his failures of nepotism over the past 8 years governing Anambra sought out a QUALIFIED person as successor and supported him. Let us hope this will usher in a new dawn for Anambra in terms of vison, direction, execution and civility. |

I congratulate the state government in completing the airport. It will make travel to the state easier. For the incoming governor they should endeavour to take the state to the next level by modernising and expanding the rest of the transport infrastructure. Anambra needs lots more wider roads, it needs modern organised public transport in cities not keke or shuttle, it needs proper bus stations not dirt motor parks. It needs to redesign markets to fit within growing cities without creating problems of filth, congestion and crime. 5 Likes |

The airport is ok but like many of Obianos projects compromised by mediocre planning and design. The airport has a limited departure hall for 2 flights at a time and thats why you have 2 check in counters, 2 avio bridges and 2 baggage carousels. So unless the 6 airlines Obiano announced arrive and depart at different times it will replicate the chaos at Enugu domestic airport where 4 airline counters cram into a space meant for 2. Whoever designed the Umueri airport designed it for roughly 4-8 flights per day. Which is OK for visitors to the state because it means 1,600 passengers per day or around 500,000 a year. |

Touts overrun Anambra-CD 30th March 2021 Touts overrun Anambra-CD 0 SHARES From David Onwuchekwa, Nnewi The Campaign for Democracy (CD) in Anambra State has raised the alarm over what it called the preponderance of touts in the State. Chairman of the group in the State, Comrade Ekene Nnamdi, told newsmen in Fegge, Onitsha South Local Government Area, that security had collapsed in the State especially in Onitsha the commercial city of the State and its environs, like Nkpor and Obosi who he said were paying for the consequences. He further alleged that traders from outside the State had been robbed, extorted, humiliated and wounded by different tout groups “more dangerous than armed robbers killing security men and snatching their guns.” The group also alleged that most of the touts operating in Onitsha and its environs, particularly from Upper Iweka to Owerri Road, where Naval Ratings, were attacked, killed and their guns snatched, and to Electrical Market Obosi, might even be informants to the daredevil criminals attacking security men. “We also plead with the new Commissioner of Police, Anambra State, to write his name in gold by flushing out the criminal elements along Owerri Road to electrical market, Obosi, Upper Iweka to Niger Bridge Head, Atani Road, Bida Road, Modebe Avenue, Nkpor and some parts of Obosi, particularly, the entry points of Obosi from Nkpor. “Security has gone to it’s worst level in the history of Anambra State, and I want to ask the question, where is our Governor? Let me repeat my self, where is our Governor? Why I ask this question is based on what is happening in our dear State security-wise. “Touts have taken over Anambra State and our Governor being the Chief Security Officer of the State must take responsibility, and I want to ask Anambrarians again, where is our Governor. Is Anambra State still the “Light of the Nation”? “It seems Anambra Stare is now in a reverse gear, darkness has taken over in the State, Anambra State is the only State in the whole Federation where touts are using marker ball pen as receipt to collect money from motorists and tricyclists. Go to Upper Iweka and Owerri Road you will see for yourself what I’m talking about. “Go to Bida Road, you will see them, go to Modebe Avenue, go to Nkpor you will see them with their marker ball pen as receipt. They mark on your tricycle and collect money from the driver. Apart from that, at Nkpor now if you drop any bag on the ground, you must pay for it before you leave the spot no matter how small the bag will be. “Check the two places where Naval Ratings were attacked in Anambra State, Owerri road and Awkuzu junction, you will see that they are the hubs of touting in the State. Everybody knows the level and caliber of touting on Owerri Road and Awkuzu junction. They are the most dangerous places one can be in Anambra State. “If you carry any small bag in a tricycle, you must pay for it and it is by force. If you dare challenge them, they will beat you black and blue and nobody challenges them, whether Police or Army. Why will such people not turn to armed robbers or be informants to armed robbers. They are the people aiding violent criminals and criminality in the State. “Anambra Stare is in danger, touts have taken over everywhere and they have formed a defacto government in the State. They listen to nobody, they respect nobody, they do what they like without challenge from anybody or security agents, we are no longer safe. “If you go to Owerri Road now you will see touts with sticks forcing tricyclists to give them money, it is no more road blocks by the security agencies, the road blocks are now mounted by touts with sticks and other dangerous weapons in every corner of Onitsha and its environs. “We think it is time for Anambra State government to flush out all the criminals hiding under the name of touts and revenue collectors, robbing and beating people in the State. They are not above the government, unless the government is telling us otherwise, ” he concluded. |
