somehow i think this is a blessing in disguise.why?well it now means okorocha is fully in apc now(more on his own).now knowing that apc has some issues getting grounds in the south east it means okorocha has to work harder to prove that apc is it and in the process imo state and citizens benefit from it.

this is a joke right?

otokx: take a look at Kano.

that is happened in kano is no guarantee it would happen in enugu.moreover when it comes to domestic flights enugu entertains more flights than kano.i would have shown you the links if not that i am typing with phone.let ethiopan airlines try the direct route first and if it is not lucrative then they can try your suggested route.my main concern is the condition of expressways that lead to enugu.

otokx: how many people truly fly thru Enugu. Ethiopian airlines will do an Enugu - Abuja - Addis Ababa - Final destination hop.

funny question..how would you know if it has not been tried?

donroxy: Am sorry brother, am used to writing Informal issues like this with exclamation @ the end of each Paragraph ..... Such has always been my style of writing on Nairaland !!!


Aguiyi Ironsi and Nzeogwu's saga are quite relevant as the activities of the two and their agents was significant as Onus of our political debacle in terms of Centralisation of power which led to further In-effective and In-efficient sytle of Government and Governance !!!

Also, Nzeogwu spareheaded selective mayhem of singling out Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe while other Major tribes leader were killed Catapulted Balkanisation of Nigerians to the greatest Height in History and since History simply because Such moves was not well conceived by Northerners which led to [b]''Igbo Massacre'' up North .........Aburi Accord........ Failure in Implementing Aburi resolution....... And Mighty Biafran War !!!


Therefore, What we need is National Re-Orientation and Integration of average Nigerian into this our nation by Government being Responsible and Responsive !!!


It will be difficult for an Hausaman to revolt for Nigeria , don't even talk of Igboman as he has suffered enough during Biafra war ......... And Yoruba as well as other tribe ....do u see preparedness in anyone !!!


Before we can have collective Revolution we need collective Resolution which is difficult to have in this dispensation ............. Until we have a Government which carry majority Nigerians along Collectively !!!


We have tried revolution in the 60s and it failed us totally, Asha, why do u want such again in this absolutely sensitive atmosphere of ethnic tension !!!


Lets try Mega Party Competitions and see what such will offer us .....!!!


Collective Revolution is not achievable in this atmosphere but Good Governance is !!!

My Opinion again !!!

guy i am not against formation of party or mega party.it can engineer good government we have equally matched parties.all i am saying is that when it comes to decentralization it is a different ball game that cannot be changed by mere change of president or even any so called debate in the assembly if you know the interests benefitting from present structure.

Obiagelli: I do not think we need crises to solve that problem, a sincere constitution review would fix it

sincere constitution in present day nigeria?who is going to do the changing?the same politicians u and i know?do you know the kind of people benefitting from this lopsided federalism we are practising?you think they would just sit down and watch the guys the assembly do that(that is even if they want to).i know you like idealism(i was once like you) but my eyes have been opened after years of research about nigeria.sorry in nigeria ideal things do not happen but pragmatism.

donroxy: Asha, I just feel like bringing to ur notice that 1966 crises,Selected mayhem and the progrom that followed was what Balkanised our nation till today !!!


I blame the young soldiers spareheaded by Kaduna Nzeogwu for our woes !!!


Just Imagined we have been practising Democracy throughout our History since 1960-2013 with the Military only performing their primary role of Protecting the nation against Internal and external agression while also Given utmost allegiance and respect to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as the BackBone of any Nation Without being a the most Exalted Office of GCFR, we will never be where we are today !!!


Cuz, through Trial and Error in our Democracy,we woulda surpassed this stage of Economic and Moral development !!!



Also, No thanks to Aguiyi Ironsi as the first Nigerian Military Administrator for Centralising Nigerian System of Government He laid the foundation for Subsequent Total Unfavourable Federal Government Domination in all spheres of our Economic and Political Life and till today we are still battling with Devolution of Power !!!


Therefore, Asha, National Revolution is the only true Revolution we can never have at this dispensation simply cuz Nigerians has been furthered Balkanised by the Politicians of today who has been playing Ethnic ,Tribal and Religion card since 1999 !!!



Asha,it is only Good Governance and Responsible Government that can solve our present woes as any slight uncontained revolution will further balkanised our nation!!!


I believe Effective and constructive competition from APC and PDP will solve our present predicament !!!


Thats my Opinion !!!

putting many exclamation marks to emphasize point does not mean anything.bringing the nzeogwu,aguiyi ironsi's role during that era is irrelivant to what i am postulating.my point is that the country would have to be in some sort of crises that would bring every nationality that make up the country to discuss the future of the country in which decentralization would be in the forefront of discussion.the only times that the country was inthis sort of situation was in '66 and june 12.that is my opinion so let us agree to disagree.

saintneo: ^^^ don't be deceived by money. A true business mogul does not give out without reason. Uba is seeking to siphon the Anambra treasury.

you dey mind the two guys above you.they seem to be carried away by splashing of money.woe betide anambra if this man wins the governorship election.

has anybody wondered whether the education we are getting in nigeria is 'nigeriacentric'?

agbameta: Major goods and services including project construction materials travels to major economic zones experiencing major economic and constructon activities and this doesn't exist in the east.


Not a single major project is going on in the eastern part of Nigeria and they haven't commisioned any major project in the area in years apart from repainting of the enugu airport which is nothing really.

There are no significant economic factors in the east hence the reason why every ibo man and woman look elsewhere for their daily bread and never in the east.


You people need to sart reasoning beyond emotions and empty utterances that doesn't jive with common sense and reality...

it is obvious that you ignorant of eastern part of the country.continue displaying high level of ignorance for everyone too see.

Sirniyeh: .
You said the truth! The problem of Nigeria is National Assembly. But I want to assure you that with APC anything is possible. From my own perspective, there can never be any tangible change in Nigeria, even with APC, if decentralization is not given chance. We all have same rogues in the both parties but what can only make difference is regional goverment. This is what we should all clamour for.

believe me there has to be a serious upheaval for decentralization to be considered in this country again.it is not a question of party....it is a question of mentality and perception.

Obiagelli: NOT necessarily true

i am not sure you are aware of the view of northern elites when it comes to decentralization issue.even if buhari tables it it has to go through national assembly(we are not in a military rule)...well guess the region that has the majority in national assembly?of course the north.

AfricaFace: Can't even understand this Soludo of a guy... his I too know attitude that threw him out of CBN is dragging him into another mess.. from one party to another... what is he looking for.. I thought he is just an academician...my ANamabra people , please don't be deceived by this guys big English.. for his 3 or 4 years in CBN... he couldn't bring any commercial bank branch in his home town.. now he wants to bring Dubai..China branch in ANamabra... he can only be useful in world bank..if there is still space there

'he couldn't bring a commercial bank to his home town'....what a mentality!

Sirniyeh: Congrats to myself!
With APC, all things are possible. The only thing I expect from them is to decentralise power from Abuja. We want to go back to regional government. This can only favour us and can only be the change Nigerians aspire for.
Kudos to western VOODOO, BECAUSE jega don sign d certificate before in know say, he don enter kosho. Now Jega vs GEJ battle begins

i doubt that decentralization would occur unless there is an upheaval in the country equivalent to '66 crises or june 12:

rareman: Now that we are here, what can we do to help, it is obvious that majority (including me) here want him to be the next governor of Anambra state. But we must go beyond the euphoria of joining APGA and work towards his success, not only at the election also when he finally assumes office.
What can we do to help, I ask again because most of us here might be Anambrans residing outside the state and minds of the people on ground are not the same.
During the last election I called my elder brother who is based in Onitsha to ask how the election is going and to know how he intends to vote. Infact I asked him how is soludo doing, he asked back immediately WHO is soludo.
My point here is that intellectuals might want a Soludo but what of the market men and women who do not understand how a Soludo is wired. The truth is that Soludo will not want to play politics of bags of rice but will keep up the message of his VISION of dubai of Africa, not many ll flow with him.
Umu nnem ka anyi nyeru nwanne anyi aka ka obodo anyi di mma, ogwu nu ka ora m n'onu.
The battle is half won anyway

good point.

kingbang: Obi's relationship with GEJ assures that! Trust me, there wont be much opposition to Soludo's candidacy from APGA faithfuls.

just heard that ekwunife has folded her campaign for soludo.

kingbang: Heard he was promised a ministerial slot. Anyway i think he realized it will be difficult for him to defeat Andy Ubah and Ngige. Soludo's candidacy is a masterstroke by APGA. WE ROCK!!!

if they have that kind of agreement then better(not sure how it is going to be done though without gej approval).everyone in the fold hasto be kept happy.

kingbang: Word has it that Obaze has been told to stand down by Obi. (I am a card carrying APGA member anyway )

i wonder how obaze is going to take it.it is like walking on egg shells.obi really needs all the political sagacity he can muster to wade through this because he was the one that championed this anambra north of a thing.

giles14: soludo i knw u hav won d eletion already,but b4 u start wit anambra's money pls devlop osha and nnewi cos revenue gotten from dis two cities combine is bigger dan dat of lagos.and by d tym u ar tru our igbo brodas wil not tink twice about relocatin back ot d east

guy get real with that your osha nnewi lagos comparision.

ITbomb: Uyo-Ikot Ekpene : Yes, already some part are near completion
Ikot Ekpene-Aba : I doubt, as Abia would not agree to the arrangement Akwa Ibom have with FG on construction of Federal roads by State Government

smh at t a orji......though i remember readind last week that abia and akwa ibom states have agreed to allow a private firm construct that road(whatever that means).it was on guardian newspaper and it was posted here.

mojounited: Lol, overtake Dubai..Dude seriously? #Pass me whatever you're smoking bro It's good to be optimistic, but you're wayyy overboard with your optimism - not when Naija politicians are at the helm of affairs...

Meanwhile, CCECC is currently handling the dualisation of Etinan - Eket - Ibeno road while Julius Berger is dualising Uyo - Ikot Ekpene - Aba road. Do you think CCECC will have the manpower to carry out two major road projects and still deliver on the schedule of key dates?

are you sure about JB dualizing aba-ikot ekpene road?

i find that line about lagos destitutes moved back to lagos from akwa ibom.....how remotely true is that?

homesteady: I went to country mall in kano yesterday!! And as usual, there were plenty people, except in the pop corn and shawarma joint! And I heard that place is soooo full in the evening time!!
Maybe there are more muslims in Ibadan!

maybe the people buying stuff in kano are southern christians...you there is a high population of southern christians in kano.

op where in the article is it written that the presidency is interested in the candidature of soludo?

ilugunboy: Unfortunately.. these set of one-way traffic religion people (catholic xtians) from the SE will feast on this news ...not acknowledging the fact that Ibadan with a huge population of Muslims will drive down the sales in shoprite at this period of the year.

is that muslims do not buy things during fasting?i mean even after fasting hrs?
