ulonnaya21: Gov T.A Orji of Abia state is the best performing governor for 2013

Ikengawo: Oyo state is also larger than Denmark.


SE is no Alaigbo. Igbo land stretches from Rivers to Benue and From Delta to Cross Rivers State. Though there will be extreme pressure on states like Abia, Anambra and Imo that carry the bulk of the Igbo population. Industry is the only way forward for igbos, commerce and trade has only severed to give us the little we have now, we need to break the jinx. I don't know when it became honorable for an igbo man to sell goods in the market like a woman.

Standing5: So Mr. OP What's the significance of the High population density you pointed out to us. Is it a premaditate step to inflate population of Igbo area in preparation for 2015 rigging? SE state may be twice as densly populated as other states but aren't but don't have half the landmass of the average state landmass in Nigeria.

Akshow: u forgot to mention what provoke the "jihadist" to start their senseless killing in the first place. Not that I support violence but take part of the blame. The killings of southerners in the north was a reprisal revenge for the killing of their leaders in what we all know was an "igbo" coup. That is d genesis of tribal killings in Naija.

Tony Spike: I did notice the scattered settlement pattern is the East because I stayed there myself for quite sometime. This method of settlement might be useful in the past because of people were in constant migration and needed absolute family interdependence.

The concentration of settlement in the West itself was useful in the past because of city defence and exchange of ideas. This is why cities like Ibadan and Osogbo might be looking unplanned.

My point is that green areas should be dedicated whether scattered or concentrated, East or West. We cannot afford to fill up all available spaces in the name of development. I hope you get my drift?

hybee_noni: @ Nafeesa truly kwankwaso deserves d award bt point of correctn d longest fly over bridge in west africa is still d 3rd mainland bridge in lagos

AMvanquish: I don't know about others.. But Kano is changing, and only haters would say kwankwaso is not working. Btw I don't support any party. So many infrastructural projects ongoing. I just wish he can go for 2nd term! I would definately vote 4 him.

Jenkizo: Truth be told, the worst performing Governors should goes to the South East because out of the 5states in the Region, its only Enugu and Imo that has airport. Most especially Abia being an oil producing state with enough IGR and small workforce withness the worst governance in Nigeria since 1999. Anambra under Obi has done poorly with IGR from Onitsha and Nnewi. Obi is just a propagandist. Only Suilivan Chimeand Okorocha stands out in the East. That being said, I give it to Fashola and the whole South west Governors including Mimiko. Also, the likes of Kwankwaso, Sule Lamido and Wamako should be on the list of best performing Governors. Finally, Middle Belt is not also lucky with Leaders this days and Middle Beltern Governors behave like their Eastern counterparts. T.A Orji and Gabriel Suswa should carry the crown of worst Governors in the history of the Country

Obiagelli: why hide their party? APC governors are working and they can't be same as pdp. Whenever Rochas or someone else does personal wrongs, you are quick to tag the APC.

Obiagelli: common folks who saw the tribal loophole and decided to take selfish advantage. I tell if a serious government gets power today, purge itself of corruption total and gets down to work, Nigerians will follow suite.

Obiagelli: why? Most of the name up here are APC, so how are they same with pdp.

Obiagelli: until those in government stop playing the tribal card it will not stop. Same with corruption.

Obiagelli: I see APC governors taking the lead yet they say apc and PDP are the same.

ilugunboy: The truth is that...the guy has single handedly done the most irreparable damage to Igbo politics.

ilugunboy: Believe me....if at all it exist...it was by very few people and highly subdued.

National politics after 2011...and the Anamabra shame opened many eyes.....how can a whole governor be querying the presence of a Nigerian in Anambra?

egift: It is disheartening the we the great people of South-East have played ourselves to a very difficult corner. Here are some of the issues:
- Ndigbo have continued the game of self. Being all by ourselves. Biafra was a decision of necessity. But moving forward, we must integrate/collaborate with the rest of the country to possess our place in Nigeria.
- Playing a second fiddle to the Ijaw and acting as if our entire future depends on it, is not good for Ndigbo.
- Our elites play for the highest bidder. But selfishness do not allow them to extract concrete promise/terms for dragging the rest of Ndigbo to offer support for Jonathan.
- Greediness have not allowed our 5 Governors team up and execute important projects in the south east (like the Niger Bridge).

I pray for vision, unity of purpose and ability to collaborate with the rest of Nigeria. If we can avoid demonizing others, we can attain greater relevance in Nigeria. But if we keep playing the type of politics exemplified by Peter Obi in 2013, we have a very difficult future in Nigerian Political Landscape.

dayokanu: Yes. Any problem with that?

ilugunboy: I assure you today....a Yoruba will mostly likely be on the ticket..

customized13: yes, I will.

It was reported a few months ago that you were building a plant in Aba, has that project gone ahead?

Yes, this is one of the plans we brought the new investors to help with, we have gone ahead with the project and construction is underway. We expect the plant to be in production in Q3 2014. We are building it on the same model as our plant in Agbara, which as I said has been very successful. The equipment is already here in Nigeria as is the prefabricated building and with the foundations being poured in the next week we will be making rapid progress

Ngwakwe: We are not talking about solving all problems. We are talking about financial prudence and available resources.

Is there any place in Abia State you will walk say 100 meters without running, clean and hygienic water from borehole?

Many people have there homes, kitchens, bathrooms, toilets and fields directly connected to portable water though borne out of competition and ingenuity. Water is water anyhow.

Almost every family and compound have borehole while Abia State Government makes money from them by taxing those in the town N1000 per month. Enough for IGR

redcliff: doesnt mean he cant so anything if he wants to.... LASG has ignored it for more than 20 years. Isnt it better We go to a higher authority?

billante: i made onitsha 2pm from lagos....we left 7pm! this is something that i has never happened during xmas period since i started for going for xmas for the past 10 yrs! the amazing thing is dat i have been traversing anambra towns and villages since i came in two days ago and have not met one single serious pot hole!

even inside onitsha town is mostly pot hole free......from zik roundabout to ogbunike on the onitsha-enugu expressway is a marvel so smooth and wide! i would say nigerian roads is a huge leap from where we are coming from from

Ngwakwe: Give it to him (T. A. Orji), if Chibuike Amaechi couldn't provide portable water to Rivers State people after receiving N253 Billion in ten months and he's looking for $200Million loan from ADB.
