this project was conceived in the ohakim era and osita izunaso played a role on draging this project to IMO.so no one should mention that rogue who has brain menopause in this am talking of rocuas(s.o)

not sure how ohakim convinced shell to build this

obailala:
Haba asha80, I'm sure you are brighter than this. I was only giving an instance that the anambra state government is capable of building the bridge alone if it wants to. That is not to say the anambra state govt should build the bridge alone.

ok if it wants to..but it should not

Wow Na wao

phantom:
i kid you not.
PH people dey spend Money anyhow.I dont know whether Its because of how the Money is made OR because wealth is more EVENLY DISTRIBUTED in the City.
Lagos People dey siddon plan every damn spending. Dem dey like UK People.... stingy as hell.
Lagos boy don plan exactly how much im go spend before im carry chick comot ....

lol tbh I have noticed such behaviour amongst ph based or brought up folks

obailala:
Well I'm not saying Anambra should build it alone, I'm just saying Anambra state alone CAN build the bridge if it wants to.

Remember that over 75% of the project is going to be funded by the private sector.

hope you know the bridge is not only the bridge over the river niger but it also encompasses a stretch of road that passes through mash land in ogbaru to connect Onitsha owerri expressway and also passes through mash land on another direction to connect to Onitsha Enugu expressway including approach road off benin asaba road towards the bridge at the asaba end...by the way give me an example of a state that has built project in its state that overlaps into another state? I don't know why you are ignoring delta state in which a substantial construction is going to go on too

phantom:
it isnt curious at all to me . I dont know about aba,but in PH,people appear to spend money "without thinking", unlike Lagos,where the average Man must rationalise his spending.

chai lol about spending money without thinking..it is saying most of ph are money miss road

2sex:
the average Nigerian is not creative nor daring enough.... Fear of losing money and in fact too many dumb people with lots of money but no idea how to use it to amass more wealth.
Do you know that 1 foreign COMPANY own Jumia, Kaymu, Jovago, Carmudi, Lamudi ?

I always thought jumia was owned by a Nigerian?

CHESSBOARD:
They should have kept this Project until Biafra comes....and for these our so called South South brothers..... Do Igbos still need our oil and gas, crude is dying, Gas is the main thing now.... Dont let Yorubas and Hausas decieve us

guy pls I am not interested in this Biafra talk.
When I see seriousness I will know

shachris:
your association determines your assimilation. When he starts following the APC, the would have no choice to be indoctrinated with the APC's ideology of performance.

you are quite naive.
Iindoctrinate indeed..tell that to kids

obailala:
Bro, I am surprised the scale still hasn't fallen off the eyes of some brethren concerning GEJ and the SE. Stop deluding yourself, elections are over and you should now tell yourself the truth, "Jonathan did absolutely nothing for the south-east or Igbos." Appointing one or two people into positions to go and enrich their private pockets is not an achievement worth celebrating.

Show me the roads or bridges or schools or industries which Jonathan started and finished in the south east?... The 2nd Niger bridge which is the biggest request which Igbos have been begging successive administration for, what did jonathan do about it?.... Just like his predecessors, he left the project untouched for 4 years until elections and he used it once again (just like his predecessors) to deceive Igbos to vote for him a second time. Even at that, the project was finally arranged as a public-private partnership in which Igbos would have been made to pay for it for the next 25 years from toll gates. This is the same GEJ that built the longer Lokoja-oweto bridge over the river benue for FREE, yet he intended to charge Igbos for 25 years because he saw us as desperate mumus. With the PPP arrangement for the 2nd Niger bridge, even the Anambra state govt could have simply built that bridge decades ago. Yet we are her killing ourselves for GEJ GEJ GEJ.

Like I said earlier, kindly point out for me, the roads or bridges or schools or industries which Jonathan started and finished in the south east?

pls anambra state should not and cannot build that bridge alone if you know the whole length of that bridge and its components..why ignore delta state? Why not tell t Lagos alone to build Lagos ibadan expressway or even fourth mainland bridge? Sometimes we Igbos or both divides of ideologies make extremist views

Not sure the the difference it is going to make if his personality remains the same

phantom:
consumer potential in nigeria

ok seen...though ph and aba been talked as having higher per capita income seems curious to me...i dont see shoprite coming to aba though unless they would just be tenants in on going aba mega mall

MyMouth:
How can we allow foreigners take over our retail market? Too bad!!! This politicians that have been sealing our money since God created the earth, can't they start a retail business and generate employment?

politicians start retail biz like these?abeg many of them are not interested

phantom:
infact i think PHC will probably have not less than 2/3

Infact the SE/SS region may see about a third to half of the 14 if recent economic data are anything to go by.

why do you say this/ especially your last paragraph?

lol see finishing by pius

BABSIN:
BusinessDay further gathered Buhari may have narrowed down the selection to the military, [/b]traditional establishments and the international/financial community, and that he is mindful that criticism might come from those who may consider themselves as having being dumped.
The market will be looking to see how Buhari will move against corruption within his ranks,” says Bismarck Rewane, in the current note from Lagos Business School Breakfast meeting.
Rewane further says that the appointment of cabinet members will have three tracks, comprising of influence from the retired military constituency, [b]establishment ([b][/b][b][/b]traditional rulers) and international and financial community, stressing however that the criteria will be competence, pedigree and integrity.

why traditional institutions?

obailala:
Truth is, I don't need to visit all the states to know what happens there. If something worthwhile was being done in Ebonyi, the news would filter out. I even hear more news about development from Kebi or Gombe than from Ebonyi. Since 1999, the state has always been cursed with ghost governors.

if I am to use my visit to abakiliki late last yr to judge I will say ebonyi has a presence of a gov more than abia but abia will always be in the news more than ebonyi

obailala:
Just to point out how bad the situation truly is, while this write-up talks about the good and the bad leaders in the south-eastern states, a particular state was totally forgotten - EBONYI.

I really feel sorry for the people of Ebonyi.

maybe because the author did not visit there..he seem to only talk about places he visited tgen

ibedun:
I grew up with Igbo people and loved them.........thirty years on I hate them with a passion and I will make sure they are driven out of Yoruba land. That is my objective and life goal. This is what happens anywhere there is mass migration. Their continued obsession with our land is an unmitigated threat that must be crushed, I mean CRUSHED!!!! before things get out of hands.

internet noise maker

MrImole:
Can't I just get one correct answer?

which answer are you looking for? We are not practising federalism or regionalism at the moment

If anything what we are practising now is closer to unitary system

MrImole:
The one we are practising now, does it have a name?

yes...feeding bottle federalism..seriously I dont think it has a name

MrImole:
I saw this on yahoo when I searched for the difference between federalism and regionalism and I'm confused.

My question is which of the two did Nigeria practice in 1950s and which one are we practising now?

we practised regionalism in the 50s.

We are practising non of the two now

mcvaeey:
These igbos are a very dumb set of individuals. God bless junaid. Igbos are very greedy set of individuals and anyone who has the interest of Nigeria at heart should never allow them to hold any position. The last administration showed their true colours. They did more harm to the Nigerian economy during Gej's six year tenure than any other group in the history of Nigeria. Even after their treasonable actions in 1967 they still have the mouth to make noise. Left to me no igbo man would hold any position in this country. They don't mean well for this country.

I can see how those who mean well for the country have run the country all these while..nigeria has been an Eldorado where things have been working all these while

Ilekeh:
Thanks for bringing it up. The SE actually has one of the highest cases of HIV/AIDS.

EdCure:

Chigold101:
Wise people are living this government. Government that has been so active in the media and so inactive in the governance. I don't blame the guy, he doesn't want his name to be destroyed by the dullard from daura.

I doubt you know the damage inde have done to customs or you know how much he has enriched himself

He should not allow him go Scott free

Op do you really need to be showing your achievement everytime on nairaland?
