Sam xiu lee: We YORUBAs need to start healthy industrial competition among our cities and towns,most of the cities and town in southwest are either civil servants or agrarian,to be honest most are nothing to write home about,apology to who might be offended,ile ife is a ghost town without OAU,Oshogbo a capital is sleepy,ogbomosho has nothing to write about,akure,ondo,ekiti are all civil servant town,I dare call them cities,Ibadan has some places that are wonderful,oluyole estate,new bodija,ashi,other suburbs are just there,Abeokuta has a lot of potential but its just a semi commercial city,truth must be told and am happy the southeast is giving us a run for our money.
One of the thing that I have noticed,which is a major drawback is unionism of all commercial activities in southwest,why would I invest millions in a business and am expected to do business at the fixed price from the union?what if I decide to sell at a lesser price?
The truth is bitter we need to wake up.

are you sure you are from the sw?

gratiaeo: HOW ANAMBRA ELECTION WILL BE WON

-Anambra North will go for APGA because of their son Obiano.

-Anambra Central will be shared amongst Obi, Ngige and Akunyili.

-Anambra South will be shared amongst Andy Uba, Obi, ifeanyi Uba.

With Obiano getting 100% block vote in the north, about 45-50% votes in the Central and about 30% in the South ,he is definitely the next governor
This is called political calculation
Dispute me if you can....

is akunyili contesting governorship?tony nwoye is also from anambra north so there is no way obiano would get 100percent vote...even if nwoye is not contesting a hundred percent vote is not possible.

what is willie waiting for to start his campaign?can he speak confidently in public?he better target the grassroots if he wants to stand any chance of winning.

biafranqueen: Anambra State governor, Mr Peter Obi has described some of the governorship candidates in the state as desperate job seekers, calling on the electorates to be wary of the choice they will make.

Obi who addressed a cross section of members of the state on Friday recounted how the chairman of Capital Oil and Gas, Dr Ifeanyi Ubah had during the flag off of his campaign in Onitsha on Thursday, allegedly decided to pay someone to stand as the traditional ruler of his community to ridicule him.

Obi condemned politics of blackmail and called up from the crowd the traditional ruler of Agulu community where he hails to show the crowd that he was not the same person who was in Onitsha at the campaign of the oil mogul.

The governor wondered why Ubah would go to the length of bringing in two faceless men to impersonate the traditional ruler and town Union President General of his community just to ridicule him.

The governor wondered why Ubah would go to the length of bringing in two faceless men to impersonate the traditional ruler and town Union President General of his community just to ridicule him.


He said such action smacks of desperation, especially now that Ubah’s company had been confiscated by AMCON.

“Look at the real Igwe Agulu here, you people should ask him if he was anywhere near Onitsha yesterday, let alone the campaign arena of Ifeanyi Ubah, but they brought a man and introduced him as the traditional ruler of Agulu, and in breaking the kolanut, the man went forward to call me a lot of names in a programme that was televised live.

“Someone called me from Abuja and told me to tune into the television and see what the traditional ruler of my community was calling me, the person wondered how my traditional ruler could be speaking like that in public, but that man was not my traditional ruler, he was only an impostor who was hired by Ifeanyi Ubah, and that is the kind of man that wants to be the governor of Anambra State.

“Time has passed when this state was burnt down by politicians, even the government house and this place we are was also burnt down. We do not want such things to happen again,” Obi stated.

biafranqueen: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

So if he could not manage his business how is he suppose to manage our state?
How come no one from Nnewi is buying this?
WHat has he done besides throw money around for our state?
How has he helped the youth except to come here and spread insults on NL
When will he pay back Coschairs?
Please give us the education background year and date(I can check it since I work in human resource, if he is really a Doctor we can close that 1)
Even though I am nor Peter Obi fan for building mall in Abuja with billions cash at least the state is not in debt!
How can Ify keep us out of debt if he could not keep his own company out of debt?
What infrastructure has he created besides dashing millions to Church Leaders?

Please no insults just answer the questions in a mature way since you are his campaign promoter

what do you mean when you asked no one from nnewi is buying this?

Emmadani: d man no agree o.

what an utter fool that man is.

Emmadani: thank you.Akpabio has even built majority of the federal roads in aks yet we no ear noise.He is currently constructing a sixlane uyo-aba road,he even had to tell d governor of abia to let him complete d road til it reaches abia,yet we no ear noise.

did the abia governor agree to it?

Ferdinandu: see me oo.Anybody that is supporting that man must be examined to know how much he has collected.A Crook who has been living off other peoples money pretending to be a business Genius.Now he wants to live off Anambra state money.It can never happen.

some apga and apc guys defected to lp in onitsha.do not understimate ubah's ability to buy the people's consience.

FreeGlobe: it seems like you hate Andy Uba more than the devil himself and I don't know why, maybe personal since its nothing we know of publicly but Andy Ubah will be a million times better governor than Peter obi any day. He is currently a Senator and not doing badly, he is the best performing Senator in Anambra. The igwe is right, that is why Peter obi is trying to save face by building the agulu lake hotel at the tail end of his tenure. He was busy building his sabmiller and stuffing cash in his fidelity bank all through

if you love andy uba that is your perogative...i have my opinion about the man.

Idi Amin: Idi Amin will say the truth on this. I am from Agulu and the last time I travelled home in May this year, I saw several roads constructed by Peter Obi in my town. Igwe Obodoakor is a very silly and money loving fellow. Na so he support Andy Uba the other time just because he gave him a car. Maybe Ifeanyi Uba has given him a car also. Infact, I think its time we teach that senile Igwe some lessons. Any Agulu youth based in USA here?

if that is the case(as per him supporting uba andy before) then i am rest assured the kind of igwe he is.

jbaur24: The Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria has taken over the management of Capital Oil and Gas Industries.

The Head of Corporate Communications, AMCON, Mr. Kayode Lambo, said in a signed advertorial on Wednesday that the management’s takeover of the indigenous downstream player would last for two years.

He explained that the takeover became necessary after AMCON acquired Capital Oil and Gas’ outstanding facilities from various banks.

The corporation said, “Following discussions with COG, a resolution was reached, which was subsequently adopted as terms of settlement in suit number FHC/ABJ/CS/714/2012 at the Federal High Court. One of the key conditions of this settlement is that AMCON takes over executive management of the COG for a period of two years.

“Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah, the erstwhile Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, has consequently relinquished his role as head of the organisation. In the interim, AMCON has appointed an acting managing director to ensure accountability and continuity of operations.”

AMCON said its takeover of the executive management of the COG within the two-year timeframe would stabilise the company, adding that it planned to ensure seamless operations at the company.

The agency added that it would, within the two years, “drive the turnaround of the company’s operations in order to meet various timelines and goals set by COG’s board of directors and AMCON.”

“This change of management was effected on June 21, 2013,” AMCON said.

When contacted on the telephone by our correspondent, the Administrative Manager, Capital Oil and Gas Industries, Mr. Ugochukwu Ehighibe, confirmed the development.

“Yes, we have an agreement with them,” he said.

AMCON had shut the premises of Capital Oil and Gas in 2012 following an Abuja Federal High Court ruling that the agency should take over the company’s properties and assets over an alleged N48.014bn debt.

The closure of the company’s 196-million-litre capacity storage tank often used by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation for products storage had hampered products distribution across the country then.

Justice Abdul Kafarati, however, on December 13, 2012 set aside the ex-parte order of November 13, which directed AMCON to take immediate possession of the properties and assets of Capital Oil and Gas as well as those of its managing director, Ubah, over the firm’s alleged indebtedness to the corporation.

But AMCON in an advertorial said it remained firm in its “resolve to vigorously pursue the indebtedness and ensure the recovery of the debt in the interest of the economy.”

The Managing Director, AMCON, Mr. Mustafa Chike-Obi, had put Capital Oil and Gas’ total indebtedness at N65bn as of December 2012.

“It was N53bn plus N12bn of interest accumulated over the last two years, and the interest is accruing at the rate of about N800m to N900m a month,” he had said.

mehn if this guy becomes governor it would be rip to the state.

Controversy: Who is Igwe Agulu to start with? Nwanne, Anambra has grow pass the politics of igwe and chiefs, give that Igwe 1 million tomorrow he ll say another thing. We need progressive mind, we have outgrown the politics of road taring, we need industries Obi have set the tone with sabmilar and others

ifeanyi ubah has promised lots of factories na lol.

FreeGlobe: If Obi can deliver that 3 arms zone then he may have left a lasting legacy and I mean a standard 3 arms zone and massive 3 arms zone and not the usual Peter obi 1 naira projects

forgive my high level ignorance but what is three arms zone?

jbaur24: APGA will retain Anambra that one is for sure.

i used to feel so....now i am not too sure...did you hear what igwe of agulu said about obi?....i mean the igwe of obi's town which is supposed to be a grassroot mobilizer?...not sure if it was personal conviction or ubah's money working.

maybe the consignment of sits have not yet arrived.

Austine.E:
...how i wish its possible for one man to do three tenures,then we shall gladly give it to OBI.The level of development and industralization in Anambra state is unprecedented,barely any month passes by without one observing a new project or an industry basically on private-govt partnership!just 3 days ago Neimeth approved the building of one billion naira pharmaceutical drug production company in Onitsha!This is attained because of the friendly environment Peter Obi has created for investors,even Obi's worst enemies appreciates the fact that he has done well with Onitsha in particular and Anambra in general and his systematic and meticulous industrializatn policy.

neimeth or emzor?

my problem is that apga might not win the next election as there seems to be lots of crisis in the party...which means if these projects are not completed in his tenure then they are likely going to be abandoned.

it seems there have been some high profile kidnappings in edo recently.

kingbang: Am at work bro. Please keep me updated here.

well he is eulogised by the two discussants interviewed by tunde aruleba...says he is the only candidate the grassroots can relate with...one guy is from the sw(different from the one that spoke yesterday) and other is probably an anambrarian..clips of lp rally in onitsha being showed...discussants say other parties and candidates have issues like apga(disqualified popular soludo for an unpopular obiano),pdp being confused with double candidature,and ngige not doing anything for his senatorial zone since he entered the senate...the anambrarian said merchant of light sec. Oba is still shiite with diapidated buildings because govt has refused to do anything about education in the state....he also said that the only time government worked in anambra was in ngige's and etiaba's tenure.

tune to ait to watch discussants talk about ifeanyi ubah.

Dkobo: dats a Political stunt bring out by d enemies to tarnished d name of d young guy!

you must think everyone here are illiterates that you can pander the above to.

Dkobo: guy na jealousy go kill u!

is that your answer to amcon taken over capital oil?

kingbang: How old are you son? You put Ifeanyi Ubah and achievement in the same sentence? Hope you know that Capital Oil has now been taken over by AMCON and that the fraudster is neck deep in debt all over Nigeria?. We say NO to Ifeanyi Ubah, he will never use Anambra State's money to repay his staggering debts.

but to be honest willie has not made any statement or appearance since he won the apga primaries.

what i am waiting for is the ait debate..i can't wait to see ifeanyi talk in public.

mr,endowed:
I think I'll second this.Delta state Governor is in fact a medical doctor and yet there's no transformation taking place in that state.In 2007,d people of Edo state voted for oshiomole even though he wasn't the most educated then.in that same election, a lawyer and a professor for that matter also contested and was rejected. Please,if ubah can do the job,then give him the chance

all this you said would have made sense if the company ubah is running is healthy but alas his company has been taken over by amcon...i am sure you know what that means.

ifechez: it was not funny at all oooooo. seeing that Amara and ewedu coward saying capital oil has more money than anambra state.

mehn shame and laugh wan kill me..the guy just dey boast about stupidly.does he realise that amcon has taken over running of the so called capital oil?

ajanaku2: Why on earth would any enlightened individual vote Ifeanyi Ubah when the likes of Ngige and Soludo would be contesting in the same election?

Ifeanyi Ubah is a Fraudster extraordinaire...He single-handedly defrauded the Government of Congo DR, under the late President Laurent Desire Kabila and used the Returns to establish Capital Oil and Gas Limited...He's a 419er who's presently indebted to Access bank, NNPC, Cosmas Maduka and others...

Anambra indigenes who would vote for him in the coming elections should not expect much in terms of infrastructural developments as Ubah would be utilizing State funds to set off his Debts...

I really think Ngige and Soludo are better Candidates!

Ifeanyi Ubah is not even worthy to be a LG Chairman in Anambra state...

i thought i was the only one that knows about the congo/kabila connection.

ubah's otimkpu were eulogising him in ait this morning...i had a good laugh.

basilo101: My brother, wat is happening in Nsukka now is uncontrolled urbanization with decayed infrastruture to support d emerging urban area. Enugu stat belongs to all of us, emerging urban areas such as Nsukka, Agbani, 9th mile, Obollo-Afor, Oji river etc shud be given due attention by the next administration because we all have sacrificed enough for the reconstruction of the coal city. it is nt acceptable dat dia is hardly any other place to boast of in the state apart from the capital

this is what i keep telling guys....the infrastructure development should be spread.

ACM10: Yes of course!
We have Dream FM, Solid FM and Caritas University Radio. Ngbatis Raypower FM has been sent packing. They cannot compete with Radio stations owned by Igbos. Those stations especially the Dream FM is da bomb. I bet you that u will not tune to Sunrise FM or Coal City FM once listen to those sations.

are you sure it competition that affected raypower enugu because ait enugu is also having issues....ait is owned by raymond dokpesi from edo state.

norabenok :
Interstate has paid for the Enugu Disco before the expiration of the 21 day extension? Could that be true? And when did Interstate pay?

interstate paid on friday....you can use google to check.
