After seen all this pics I've started thinking how to relocate back 2 east.
Honestly I never knew Anambra produced this much. Seriously it's mouth watering.

Anambra abayengo

Many don't even know what they are missing ignoring opportunities in Anambra, I might not be living in Anambra currently but the investment am making there is enough for me to stay cool when I must have relocated.

I saw alot of opportunities in Anambra and am cashing on them why staying on the sideline. The population boom is too much.

Anambra State need to ban Okada, open satellite towns to decongest cities, bring in more long buses and Danfo but face out onu azu.

The services sector need to be paid more more more and serious attention.

Ozubulu deserve an industrial estate, then a dry port is very important.

Anambra see more containers than Kaduna but the later have gotten inland port, let's leave the politics and work to have ours.

one thing I discovered about Ebonyi State is that thing they said about slaves being sentimentally attached to their master that if you want to rescue them they will report you to the master.
I thought the assertion above is a beer parlour mouthboff but am realizing its true.

Umahi is crying no private investor is coming into the state but the one that wanted to invest in cement production you people forced him out.

Ebonyi State the way am seeing it might stop being the weeping child of the East but Nigeria.

My eyes are opening small small, the elites in that state behave like Northern Nigeria elites, no wonder.

FKO stop replying these lazy legs that still live with their parents at 45 crowding all the Abules littering Lagos where they inherit their grandfather house sharing it one room per head.
Thesw lazy foolz must be living in that Ibadan styled building with entrance passage in middle while rooms are by the sides and toilet and bathroom detached from the building at the back.

these cursed lazy gambler that stay at beer joints during the week days and betting shops during the weekend will always like to bore you.

stop replying these lazy fooools

Grace and Sunday Otoide’s house is the last one standing on Bata Road in Benin City, southern Nigeria. All the neighbours have left and the retired couple hope to do the same. With the money their two children send from Italy, they want to build a new house. Dozens of lorries used to pass along the road to get to the local shoe factory, once one of Benin City’s industrial jewels.

But it’s now no more than a track swallowed by swamps. At the turn of the century, the leading shoe manufacturer that gave the road its name relocated its factory to Ghana, frustrated by constant power cuts. About 3,000 employees, most of them young people, lost their jobs. Since then, the flood barriers surrounding the area have fallen into disrepair and the water has reclaimed the earth, flooding every dwelling and the factory. “We have no nothing. No chop (food), not’in,” says Grace in pidgin English from a large sofa that has seen better days. Her husband’s pension has also been hurt by the devaluation of Nigeria’s naira currency.

Two of the couple’s six children were smuggled into Italy several years ago. They send back what they can, when they can, to help their parents build a new home. The current one threatens to fall down at any moment. “I don’t know what kind of job she do. But she dey work, she dey abroad, she’s the one who must worry for me. If I dey young again, I go travel overseas,” says Grace.


– Money transfers –
More than 37,500 Nigerians arrived on the Italian coast by boat in 2016, according to the International Organization for Migration. Most of them came from Benin City. The city is riddled with human trafficking networks. Often the Nigerian women who end up in Italy become sex workers, while men are pushed into Italian mafia networks around the trade. The phenomenon can be traced back to the time of the region’s industrial collapse in the late 1980s, military rule and the structural adjustment programmes that killed the economy. For nearly 30 years, Edo state, of which Benin City is the capital, has survived on the money sent back from across the Mediterranean. Even small sums represent a real monthly salary for families — as long as the money is sent in foreign currency.

On the outskirts of the city, there are no roads, electricity or drainage, yet brick houses are mushrooming in the largely abandoned fields. Emmanuel Otoide is building a large house for a client who left for Italy 10 years ago and has not come back. On the walls, the owner’s mother has stuck a notice from her Pentecostal church: “2017 My Year of Greater Light”. “The mother of the owner is (a) pure water seller, she is a street vendor,” the construction engineer says, adding that without the money from overseas, building the house would be impossible. Behind him, workers dig the foundations of another house by hand, sweating in the suffocating heat, 10 hours a day, for 3,000 naira ($9.5/8.5 euros).


[b]– ‘Non-sustainable’ –
[/b]The appearance of economic development because of migrants from Edo state is “fake and non-sustainable”, according to Kokunre Eghafona-Agbontaen, from the University of Benin City. The money sent to often very poor and uneducated families is not invested in viable enterprises or to buy arable land to farm. “The remittances are utilised on a personal and family basis, and there are no visible contributions to the development and transformation of the community,” she says. What’s worse is that illegal migration has led to a fall in the level of education in Edo state, Eghafona-Agbontaen says. Young people, convinced that their professional future will not be in Nigeria, now look to leave rather than continue their studies. The deputy governor of Edo state, Philip Shaibu, agrees, saying parents would look for the “best agent to transfer them to Europe” in the same way they might look for a good school. “Now children want to go on their own. That trend we want to stop.”


After years of political inaction, the new Edo state governor has promised to eradicate the “dangerous cartels” involved in human trafficking, and wants to reinvigorate industry and create 200,000 jobs. It’s a huge challenge and unlikely to be achieved in a country where energy problems are a major brake on development. But since 2016 the European Union has put pressure on source countries of illegal migrants — “soft diplomacy” according to Shaibu, who wants politicians to recognise the problem. “We prefer to have our young ones being celebrated outside for skills that they learn in Nigeria” rather than drowning off the coast of Libya, he says.

“That we don’t want.”

Mr Anambra

I no ask you for story o

If you have proofs that the figures have been intentionally bloated, call EFCC

Nobody is telling you story, go tell those living at Lambe, alagbado, Akute, Ago Iwoye how the IGR of Ogun State can make a cow go belly up let's know how they will beat you with all the abandoned projects littering the entire state and poor people beg for alms.
Anambra State don't give a fuccck about IGR because it's never an indices to gauge development considering that a crook like Aregbeshola can cook up something that please him.

Anambra is a commercial and industrial hub, listed among those that contro 70% monetary transaction and have one the highest number of commercial banks and MFBs.

According to NAPEP, Anambra State have the lowest poverty rate in Nigeria.


Who IGR epp, even Borno and Osun States have something to show.

my prayer to your family but all hands must be on deck to make sure he didn't near Ogun or Osun States.

Start moving people to the borders of Oyo and Ogun State and Oyo and Osun State.

he must make it alive as long as he didn't cross the above listed states

Nkwelle is Onitsha environ though in Oyi LG, I wish there are business clusters developing alongside these beautiful residential area but none of that.

We need to balance our economy in Anambra State, more effort should be made to explore the services industry. Most businesses in Anambra outsource their services to agents in Lagos.

Can Anambra State develop a robust printing industry, more hotels, accounting and IT firms.

If Anambra can use manufacturing and services to balance the blue collar dominated trading and farming it will be better.

There should be a paradigm shift from blue collar Anambra to a white collar one.

I love Enugu environ, it look like some Eastern and Southern African cities that still maintain their colonial heritages.

A 52-year-old man, Tosenu Lussien , who was found with human skull by the police, on Friday, said that he brought it to his house some five years ago and kept it for future use.

The suspect, who made this confession when he spoke with journalists at the State Police Command, Ikeja, added that it was his first time of dealing in human parts.

“I saw the human head at Oko-Ode, Ishagamu area of[b] Ogun State[/b] while on security duty and brought it home that I may need it later. It was fresh when I saw it but it is decomposed now.

“Am a traditionalist and I have been rendering services the people but this is the first time I will be dealing human parts.

“Somebody, my in-law, then requested that I should help him get a human head, which he wanted to use for rituals in his business and I promised to do something about it.

“Later, I also received a call from someone that he needed human part and I asked the person to pay me N150, 000. I didn’t know a policeman was calling until the police came to my apartment,” he said.

The Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Administration, Mr Danladi Galandachi, who also spoke with newsmen on the occasion, said the suspect usually charged up to one million naira for the procurement of any human parts.

He said that the suspect was arrested by some policemen, who disguised as buyers.

As part of its centennial celebrations, the Rotary Foundation has recognized Sir Emeka Offor as one of nine individuals who make Rotary a force for good in the world.
This is a significant piece of good news for the Nigerian philanthropist and oil magnate who is currently experiencing a rather rough patch following the loss of his father and the sustained slide in oil prices.
Recognition from the Rotary Foundation is particularly remarkable because Sir Emeka Offor is the only African to make the distinguished list for his significant contribution to Rotary’s successful effort to combat polio in Nigeria.
Through his generosity, the Rotary Foundation’s PolioPlus Initiative has helped to protect 2.5 billion children around the world from the devastating impacts of polio.
Sir Emeka Offor’s contribution to the fight against polio in Nigeria goes beyond giving.
As the Rotary International Polio Ambassador to Nigeria, he has championed collective efforts to eliminate polio through sustained advocacy with political, traditional and religious leaders. His quiet, diplomatic efforts helped persuade communities in Northern Nigeria to embrace polio vaccination after initially rejecting the idea. This resulted in a rapid decline in new cases.
Sir Emeka’s philanthropy is not limited to the fight against polio.
Through the Sir Emeka Offor Foundation (SEOF), he provided a total of $3.6m in donations, grants and endowments to numerous initiatives to improve health, public education and community empowerment between 2014 and 2015.
SEOF has also been at the forefront of the fight against glaucoma, river blindness and infant and maternal mortality.
Sir Emeka Offor said his contributions to Rotary are consistent with his belief that “we have been called to serve others and to give our time and resources in order to alleviate human suffering”.
He is currently Rotary’s highest individual donor from Africa.

September 22, 2016 Polio, Speaking Books: UNICEF, Rotary International And Emeka Offor
THE global war against polio virus has been waged on many fronts for more than half a century with punctuated accelerations and decelerations. Over time, the geographical theatres have shifted remarkably, warranting boundaries to be redrawn or descaled.

ABUJA, NIGERIA, August 30, 2016 – The founder of the Sir Emeka Offor Foundation is reflecting on years of remarkable public health achievements as he encourages a renewed emphasis on the END POLIO NOW campaign. Philanthropist and business leader Sir Emeka Offor, the Rotary International Polio Ambassador to Nigeria, is vowing to defeat polio despite the recent discovery of two cases of Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) of Wild Poliovirus Type 1.
The two cases were isolated in July 2016. According to the National Polio Eradication Operations Center in Abuja, two children hailing from Gwoza and Jere local government area (LGA) of Borno State have been paralyzed by the disease. They marked the only recorded cases of polio in Nigeria since July 2014. The country was within months of being certified free and clear of the disease by the World Health Organization (WHO).
“It is a disheartening turn of event in our collective efforts to rid the country of the dreaded disease,” said Sir Emeka Offor. “We have wrestled polio together for many years and have enjoyed remarkable success. We shall not relent. We will now refocus and join hands to continue the fight to ensure that all children are safe from the disease. We will defeat polio.”

The Rotary International Polio Plus Chair, Michel K. McGovern, admitted that it was disappointing news for Rotarians all over the world and particularly for those in Nigeria, who have been at the forefront of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI).

“Rotary members remain resilient in the face of challenges,” said McGovern. “Today, we roll up our sleeves and redouble our efforts to rid the world of this devastating disease. Rotary members in Nigeria are already hard at work to support the outbreak response, and our network will also be tapped to protect children quickly in surrounding countries.”

The Federal Government of Nigeria has approved approximately N6.5 billion when the polio crisis started. Earlier this month, the Federal Government of Nigeria pledged an additional N9.8 billion to assist the National Primary Health Care Development Agency in implementing a response plan, which includes immunizing up to 56 million children by November 2016.
Early Successes, Frustrations
From 1996 to 2001, aggressive and expansive mass immunization exercises had advanced Nigeria’s success in the fight against polio nationally. In the South, polio transmission was successfully halted in 2005.

The campaign in the North faltered, plagued by rumors and misconceptions about the safety of the vaccine. The brewing radical Islamic terrorist activities of the infamous Boko Haram group further inflamed the situation with cases increasing from 202 in 2002 to 1,122 in 2006.

Turning Point
Concerted efforts in the form of diplomacy, funding and political pressure by WHO, GPEI representatives, Rotary International and private sector organizations inspired a change in the trajectory for polio eradication.

This combination fast-tracked awareness and anti-polio exercises. By late 2013, polio cases were down to six with a promising endgame by 2017. By July 2015, Nigeria had become delisted from the three endemic nations remaining Afghanistan and Pakistan.

“The isolated cases of AFP in Borno State are a sobering reminder that no child is safe until every potential virus becomes eradicated worldwide,” said Sir Emeka. “Nigeria should be unreserved in its vigilance, intensify surveillance across borders, and continue to drive forward the campaign on national immunization, particularly in the hard to reach communities of the northeast.”

BWY, one of my best cities in Africa

Another Ewedurudeens munching lazy fooll again

FKO81:

The two pictures 1&2 are Awka not Onitsha

is Awka that densely built up?

In one street alone in Onitsha UBA have 5 branches in Port Harcourt Rd, in New Market Road they have 7 branches alone.

as from 1st October any Igbo that died in North committed suicide.

emmyclassic:
Most of you guys use what u know to give analysis without doing proper Research! So na only Asaba de Delta state.. even Sapele is more industralised than Asaba not to talk of Warri the economic capital of Delta state. To know industralised states just use their IGR.. delta state should be in 4th position.

Warri is the most industrialized city in Delta followed Asaba though most companies in Asaba have closed shop like SIO, ASABATEX, Asaba aluminium, that steel company along Ogwashi Ukwu, etc.

Sapele is not that industrialized

what of Kano and Oyo both should be in top 6 or 7

what is Osun State doing there and Delta is not included.

my list is
Lagos
Rivers
Ogun.
Anambra.
Abia.
Kano.
Oyo.
Delta.
Kaduna.
Enugu.

The Indigenous People of Biafra has asked schools in the area to teach history and geography of the region.
It said schools that would key to the course programmes would be given grants for scholarships.

A statement in Awka , Anambra State , by the media and publicity secretary of the group, Emma Powerful , said its leader , Nnamdi Kanu , had written schools in the area from nursery to university in that regard .

The statement read in part “The Indigenous People of Biafra under the leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has written and given instructions to every academic institution in Biafraland from nursery school to University to revert to original geography textbooks with Bight of Biafra in it.
“IPOB is also asking every school in Biafraland to commence the teaching of history especially pre -colonial Biafra and 1914 amalgamation .

It added , “ Schools that sign up to this scheme will receive grants to assist them from scholars and IPOB worldwide.
“More so , IPOB under the leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is working with publishers of history and geography textbooks to commence the job to enhance effective work and to ensure the success of the scheme.

“The history teaching in Biafraland will focus on the genocide committed against the people of Biafra during the civil war in 1967 and 1970 while the geography teaching will focus on the removal of the Bight of Biafra by British and Nigerian Governments .

“The history also will teach on the child starvation as a weapon of war against Biafrans and the seizure of money and € 20 given to Ndigbo after the war in 1970 .

“The ancient map of Africa from 1662 till 1966 during the war of genocide against our people that consumed the lives of our women and children ”.
