bestviewer: This is a landslide for APGA in November..

you cannot be too sure about that....hear ifeanyi ubah is broke now and that is why his campaign has mellowed down in recent times,ngige still has support that cannot be waved off.

Yeske!:
Just heard Chris Ngige Promised one if elected.

other candidates have also promised...promise is easy.

kmariko: I was made to understand that the schools in the rural areas are the responsiblity of the LGAs not the state . The reason why some of the LGA chairmen were dropped in the november election.

ok...then that is the reason i do not get bothered about whether there is lga election or not.

cashkid is back: yea,i quite agree wit u bt at least,d govt shud renovate sum of it in each of d senatorial zones

all money is needed to make enugu city look good.

Afam4eva: Enugu doesn't have much money and this is why governors always choose an area where they want to focus on. During Chimaroke's tenure, it was about the schools and hospitals.

so i guess the next governor should concetrate on nsukka and its environs and leave other places since nsukka with its increasing population desperately needs it?first self a master plan for nsukka needs to be developed...moreover i keep harping on that the rural areas should not be neglected...most igbos that migrate to other places largely do so from their rural abode.

cashkid is back: chime has reali tried for enugu infrastructure changin enugu into one of d most liveable cities in nig.kudos to him bt he has nt done much work in educational sector..sum of d public skuls ar ntin to write home abt especially in d rural areas.
I rep 042

ignoring the rural areas and schools therein is the opportunity cost of making enugu city good.

Afam4eva: I think this man raised a point about Awka in comparison to Enugu. For some reason, some Nigerians have this mind set that commercialization and development goes hand in hand. How in God's name is Awka that's supposed to be similar to Enugu in look and feel now becoming like Onitsha. Where then is someone going to rest in Anambra? Onitsha and Nnewi caters for commerce in the state. Let the state government allow Awka to remain tranquil and liveable.

lagos is both commercial and residential..enugu tends to want to be like abuja...owerri used to be like that but in recent times i am hearing that it is tending towards commercial...kano is both commercial and residential...unless you want anambra state government to stop commercial activities in awka which to me is almost impossible...what is needed in awka is structural masterplan.

question here is there a way one can put the relevant infrastructure in awka,nnewi and onitsha without neglecting the rural areas or neglecting any other sector?if there is way then it should be done as i do not believe in having a 'developed capital' and an 'underdeveloped' rural areas.

Chino_Is_Back: ^

Na wash, just media hype!

Am on the ground, I can tell you exactly what is going on here!

The new song now is WMO..

your man has to start selling himself to market associations,women,artisans,farmers,civil servants and students....those are the people that actually vote.

when is geometric power plant going to be commissioned?

heard that 26 market associations in anambra have endorsed ngige....it is on elombah.com.

pokur: Btw,there is no mention of industrialization drive,revenue generation n employment creation.
This is nothing but crap.It's not worth the paper it's written on.

maybe he is not interested in industrialization....people are different you know.

Kingsley1000: As in eh! IGBOS ARE THE MOST FOLISH TRIBE IN NIGERIA...ESP,WE ANAMBRARIANS,DATS Y PETERADA LAVISHED AND CONVEYED OUR DOSH TO HIS FIDELITY BANK,BUILDING CASTLES IN D AIR AND WE'RE STILL YELLING*APGA*IBO PARTY MA FOOT

after calling them foolish with emotional fits on cyberspace you still want them to vote your candidate?

shine eye: Breaking News ...................................

Gov Rolling Stone Okorocha APC set to bankroll APC campaign in Anambra state, demands the House of Assembly to approve 15billion naira loan.

Who will repay all the Loans? Over 50billion naira of Zenith down already.

With Jprosgate,Spanishgate,Judiciary complexgate scandals already consuming over 6billion naira of Ndi-Imo.

source?

Kingsley1000: Wow,just stormed d city last week from benin.was astonished by what i saw.i wish an economist like prof soludo would govern d city..

what did you see?

INNO18: maybe you mean NNobi, believe me, if u were to drive from Nnewi to Nnobi you wouldnt know when you'd drive out of Nnewi, they seem to be interwoven, nothing seperates the two. The only thing that angers me is the single lane road. I was stuck in traffic for close to 15 minutes @ the Teaching Hospital Road. Duualising Roads in Nnewi will be one heck of a hectic Job cos i just can Imagine any gov't in power willing to compensate anybody for the 3 and 4 storey's they'd have to knock down to make way for such a a dev't. Unless offcourse the 'fashola strategy' will be used, where the structures will be demolished for lack of 'C of O'. Anyway it has to be done, Nnewi just needs dual carriage ways.

i actually meant ozubulu not nnobi...i have not heard of nnobi's case...well dualizing enteries into nnewi has to be done whether people cry foul or not..problem is the affected would always use it against gov. That would do it.

jbaur24: Ozubulu is the next door neighbor to Nnewi, development is fast spilling over into Ozubulu. Remember that Beverly Hills Hotel is almost at the boundary between Ozubulu and Nnewi. And both towns are all monied region.

meaning nnewi is beginning to have an effect on surrounding towns like that onitsha has affected obosi,nkpor,nkwelle ezunaka and the rest.

i recently heard that neighbouring ozubulu is turning into an industrial town...how true is that?

NnamdiN: lol I knew someone would bring this up. If I can't vote from uyo, I can mobilise voters from uyo. On behalf of iruebene people in Ojoto, idemili South LG, we hereby deliver our undiluted support to the one and only Onwa na etili ora. Thank you

yawn...emotional outburst is different from reality.

pls no one should join chino and abagworo....let them immerse themselves witheir usual mudslinging idiocy..ndi agadi abuo na eche echiche ka umu aka.

Abagworo: You are right that a lot needs to be done. There are 27 LGAs in Imo State and work is going on one way or the other in all but I must however say that I wasn't impressed with the rural roads as they lack walkways and most of those that luckily have drainage, the drainages are open. However the works I've seen in Owerri and Orlu are impressive to me. A change in the right direction is good and we must free ourselves from tribalism, jealousy and partisanship to appreciate good things. Another reason I'm impressed is that expensive company like Julius Berger is not the one handling the projects but mostly indigenous Nigerian engineers and few foreigners. That will help develop our local construction industry, employ and empower our people. They may make mistakes at 1st but will perfect in future.

errmmm...walkways in rural roads?knowing the scattered settlement pattern in the south east you think it is possible?

NnamdiN: nne, ten container loads ka mbu abata Anambra

See as e dey pain some people say upon their smear campaigns, our man ngige still has overwhelming support hehehe.
I wonder if we have "yaba left" in Anambra coz potential candidates full this thread.

i hope u are going to vote for him from uyo.

bestviewer: What can you deduce so far from WMO?

judging from his profile it is obvious he is an astute administrator...to work for texaco worldwide up to the level of chief internal auditor(also as i read somewhere the first black to do so) no be bean as it is not a post for a dullard....i think he would even be 4 times a better adminitrator than obi is....however i have a feeling that he is not much of a public speaker which can be a minus in nigerian politics....i also do not like a ceryain kind of aloofness vibes from him...he should know that despite being the candidate of the ruling party,he is the lesser known of the top four....he should start rigorous campaign in earnest.

well he has to start his campaign fast in the state.

achi4u: Yea,they are working based on their capacity.
I don't think they have this modern rice milling for nown but in due time they will surely have it.
I have been there and I love their undieing spirit towards rice farming.

there was an abandoned large rice mill that was handed over to anambra state gov in 2011 or so in omor...that is the one i am talking about...you can use google to know the one i am talking about...not other smaller mills around.

achi4u: Omor area are not playing with rice farming but their farm is still small to compare Ebonyi areable farm land.

i know but i want to find out is if the mill itself is working.

achi4u: Mba! CHOCOLATE rice.


Guy I dey respect you for this forum but you don dey turn to something else.

guy type ebony rice on google and tell me what you see....u wey dey ebonyi never hear am before?...u think i am being sarcastic?

anambra is supposed to be processing rice through omor rice mill....don't know if that place is functioning though.

achi4u: It is not a hear say.I have witness it here in Abakaliki rice mill where one oyibo man was busy buying this our local rice in large quantity and instantly pouring a red oil on to of the heap...before y know it, it wil turn to foreign rice with higher price.

This is one area i'm personally commending Chief Martin Elechi of Ebonyi state for his initiative towards agriculture ...he's getting it right.

you mean EBONY rice?

taharqa:
