all these contracts he is giving now can he complete them?

Onlytruth: I share your sentiment here, though I must admit that I am a secret admirer of Onwa Anambra state.
Ever since I saw the quality of roads he built in Idemili, Nnewi and other parts of Anambra state, all I can think of is that if any other governor did the same, Anambra will have a first world road standard within two full gubernatorial terms of 8 years each.
Now, whether he can repeat that feat remains to be seen, ie if he wins.
My candidate remains Soludo because he understands what Obi tried to do and will continue that path with BIGGER ambition.

governing goes beyod building oif road.it is a holistic approach.me thinks anambra has gone beyod celebrating of construction of roads only.

Onlytruth: I guess all I'm saying is that there will be the following in this race:

Ngige, Soludo (unless he is not contesting again), Andy Uba, and Ifeanyi Uba,... then there is Obaze (presumably backed by Obi).
On the elections day, the likely front runners WILL BE Ngige and then others will share votes.
By default, even if Obaze manages to get more votes than the Ifeanyi Ubas (people keep underating this guy somehow and I hate for him to surprise them and even come close to Anambra coffers), the Andy Ubas, and the Soludos, he will not get more votes than Ngige; that much I know.
But if Obi supports Soludo, Ifeanyi Uba will be in REAL trouble, and APGA stands a real chance of winning.
That is really what I mean.

somehow i wish ngige wins....let me see if he is really worth the hype...already he is listed as one of the 35 senators that has been docile(never raised any motion or bill) in the senate.

Onlytruth: I believe he knows, that is why he is calling for reconciliation with the Obi camp.
IMHO the only person that can win Anambra guber elections without obi's support is Ngige, and that is because the votes for others will be splintered and shared, while Ngige's would remain because he has a near cult following among his die hard supporters. Somehow I don't think Obi can trust Ngige with Anambra coffers.
Soludo remains the only viable choice.
The Obaze guy cannot survive the heat of Anambra "hard hat politics".
Our guber seat is not for the faint of heart, and certainly not zoned!

not sure what you mean by obaze cannot survive the heat of anambra politics.that he looks calm might be deceptive.not everyone has to display gra gra to show he is a man.obi even looks calmer than him but i wonder if you will really tag obi as soft and not skillful at keeping the 'wolves' at bay.

Onlytruth: @Bolded, nwanne never say never in politics. Obi might be realizing that Soludo is the only credible successor he can conscientiously hand over to, so he may be courting the genius ex-CBN boss to join APGA.
I have learned to read political speak very well. By Soludo urging Obi to remain in the poltical scene, is his way of assuring Obi that he would look after him (and his foibles while in office) when he takes over.
Soludo is the only credible contender to succeed Obi (if I know Obi well).

well if you say so.one thing i know is that is victor umeh has a brain he should know that apga cannot win that election unless the apga candidate has obi's support.

Tolexander: does that make those that have a higher bill passed better than him?

when he entered senate he said he was going there to make a difference.so pls what is the difference he has made?

it is either soludo wants to enter apga(which i doubt) or he is just being honest.maybe nairalanders who hate obi and are rooting for soludo would think deep about what soludo said.

una get to reply nri priest aka odenigbo aroli....always suffering from persecution syndrome though he was not like that when he entered nairaland.

lol at chris ngige.not suprised though.

hehe lol at chris ngige.not suprised he is among the 35 senators.

Adejoro74: modernized abakaliki rice mill. They are getting there slowly

who is managing these mills?government or private?

henrychubayo: My people, shall we now rejoice in great happiness. Finally, Ethiopian airline has finally included Enugu airport as one of their destination. These means that you can now book Ethiopian airline now to Enugu from August 29 according to the information i got. However not relying on gossip since i know Enugu as 100% gossip city, i rush to the web site of Ethiopia airline and to my greatest surprization, enugu was there. These is real. No scams. Visit the website your self at http://www.ethiopianairlines.com
confirm the information and help distribute the information to all our south eastern brothers to fly with Ethiopia. what we experience thru Lagos is so bad. if you land in Lagos, you still have to spend much money to get to east. lets fly these airline direct to Enugu and get the best of it.

Remember that they fly to anywhere in the world. Europe, Asia, Africa, south and north America etc. When they start making the money and some other airline comes begging on the way, remember that Ethiopia suffered at first since its not easy to start something new. When these route of Enugu may start gaining ground, u will see may airline asking for approval. Let us not forget this airline Ethiopia.

We are still expecting numerous pix from the interior of the airport in Enugu. Those who flew there recent can assist

nice news.

op how sure are you about no 9 ie the one about the remotest village having electricity?was akanu ibiam a premier of the then eastern nigeria?i do not doubt the remaining points though.

peppy luv: Goin tru pples comment al I cud do was smile and wonder y muslims think their women are holy!point of correction I was born and brought up in d north so I knw u guys are bunch of hypocrites.sleepin with underage grls is not a new thing and most southerns who didn't grow up or ever bein to d north wudnt knw until yerima's case. Our security men while we were stil living in kano always slpt wit those small grls that hawk groudnut and they wil b so wicked that they take "buruntachi" b4 mounting those grls which wil make them last for over 4hrs on those little grls and cuz my window was close to the gate,u hear those grls pleading and screaming "wayo allah" but those men wudnt stop but promising them marriage!
For d educated ones,they are lesbians drug addicts(always high on codine)especialy those shuwa arabs and u see them in slow motion not knwin its codine but think they are reserved! (Thunder fire reserve)I hv proof with d ones I schooled with in Unibuja and they dnt associate much with xtains so u wudnt knw their secret
Until I met one young hajiya,d 3rd wife of a prominent man(no need to mention her name)she approached me as a lesbian and when she found out I wasn't she almost bought me a car to shut me up,I declined and didn't expose her then she opened up on d hypocrisy in islam and told me why most of them are lesbians is cuz of d polygamous nature of their homes and most of these men are too weak to satisfy 4 and since they can't bring in male frnds they bring in female lesbians and their husbands wil think its just a coursemate!
Go into a cosmectic shop and ask the sales boy or grl d pple who buy V tighteners d most and they wil tel u its d muslim grls,even an Imam's wife then in unibuja was selling it to those unmarried grls,one of them evn bought it for me and said if I use it and a man touches me,he wil neva leave me,my pple d thing wil not only make u tight but also serve as love potion!!!!pls what do u need that 4 if u r not a serial bleeper!
Sometym ago we heard of artificial virginity in saudi and some arab countries whr their ladies who hv lost their virginity b4 marriage go 4 surgery to close up d hymen! Na wa o! Who is fooling who?
Muslim grls are runs grls but becos they dnt realy date xtains u wudnt knw and with their polygamous nature they become one of d wives.
Who has heard of one Aisha grl(4gotn her surname) a big tym runs grl in kd,her plate numbers read Aisha1,Aisha2 and so on abi na mohammed send her those cars 4rm paradise!
Muslims pls Quit d pretence,u can't fool us with ur hijab and wrapper dressing!or is it ur men Allah kiyaye! No comment cuz u knw ursef!
Happy fasting.

see opening of nyash.

biafranqueen: My dear bragging that state funds will not be used for a birthday and all the preaching is sales talk he is jacking us. Please help me figure out why and how this mall was built with billions of cash from his Excellency?

well anambrarians are in better position to explain that abuja mall.

biafranqueen: This is a government school let me leave the mission schools out because I don't pay tithes to them but I pay taxes big time so I have a right to voice my grievance! We can be using this money to put in our business like the Obi's are doing but we feel for the masses should I start with the teaching hospitals?

good you said it is a government school.let the missionary school take care of their own simple.also govt should give the missionary enough money to repair the dilapidated infrastructure it ran down in the first instance when it stupidly took over the mission schools in the first instance.it is by doing that that you can now hold government responsible for government schools like this.

biafranqueen: Are you looking at the pictures my Dear or just typing this is the before picture 4 months it took not 3 years or even 1 year 4 months

i hope you understand what is meant by day to day running of schools?like daily management of school activities?you think renovation of one block is enough to change the overall bringing up of a pupil?

biafranqueen: This is a school in Nnewi that was rebuilt by Prince Orizu not the Catholic Church, but as the next in line to the throne he is busy with his friends that are not in government or part of church organizations helping the masses

so in essence what is your point?that the mission schools should not returned to the owners?if a private person decides to renovate a school what is the issue?the school you just posted is it a government school or missionary school?

biafranqueen: So do you think the church should be responsible, and if so how can you just keep collecting fees and not updating the depleted buildings. Looking at my records I have donated to over 4 schools thousands of dollars and I'm not even a member of any church. So are you telling me you are proud of the schools in our states ?

if i may ask you when where this schools given back to their original church owners?was it not last year or two years ago?you think just two years is enough to reverse nearly 40 years of utter decay?why should the government continue to burden itself with these mission schools when there are also government schools that need to be taken care off?why not give to ceaser what belongs to ceaser? If you feel that the money you donated is not being made use well enough which institution do you think is easier to hold responsible to bring result?govt or church?

biafranqueen: My bother the masses better expect too much because my family business pays alot of taxes. I respect him too but what I dont like is when we pretend to be saints and cost effective while we are busy sending money to London and California buying property here and there in very expensive neighborhoods. Or building shopping centers with cash money paid to contractors.

We have a duty to hold our leaders accountable! Private organizations are remodeling the schools because the Catholic church has failed, and why hand it over to them? Where is the separation of church and state?

those schools belonged to the church in the first instance before it was forcefully taken from the church after the civil war.

there is a population issue here that people are omitting.there is a particular belt in igboland that is densly populated even though most of the indigenes of that area are not based there.this belt is from onitsha to awka down to mbaitoli to mbaise axis except probably ogbaru in anambra and okigwe plus onuimo in imo.if you outside igbo land the possibility of the igbo person you meet is from that axis is very high.so people from that axis overtime have become used to the numerous dialects that exist around there which in turn makes the dialects been spoken around there more common than other igbo dialects.so there is always a possibilty of people in that axis speaking their own dialects to one another and still getting what each other is saying.however outside these axis the dialects become a bit harder to understand unless you grew up in such an area.if odumchi's arochukwu had such population i do not think he would be complaining.

uchman101: This Man is so Stingy!!!

i wonder what people mean they say this

good for nigeria

contrary to some beliefs children of political appointies and civil servants of norther origin go to school.

qualified: Misleading topic by a confused writer!
I read d whole article, d writer was neither here nor there.
My understanding of it, is s/he wants to blame d South for d rot in d North, but also knows there is no ground for that, thus d up n down of d article
Yes, quota system shld be scraped so that intelligent Nigerians (90% South) wil take over every meaningful position in govt.
Don't worry, we ll still leave shoe shining n others like it for d North, until they wake up frm their stone age mentality
mtchew

you are the one confused as this is a balanced article without so much finger pointing.

hmmm na wao for dokpesi...it seems not everyone is liberal enough to accept criticisms...sorry for gbenga and imoni.

Proxytalk: I thnk obi is acheiving dual purpose here providing security in all nuc and crannys of the state as well as stimulating capacity building at innoson-vm where over 4000 people are working.
the effects, in anambra now most churches uses IVM 5000 as their evangelism bus again some pharmaceutical copanies like juhel use them for distribution. So in effect Ivm 5000 is innoson's lifeline cos the patronage is now steady

4000? That is a large workforce.i guess ivm 5000 is the mini bus?

i really wonder what would happen to innoson motors if obi leaves office.his government seems to the biggest customer.

until i see completed enugu onitsha highway,enugu ph highway and work going on on second niger bridge i would not believe this story.

bia enyi when did mazi odera become otimkpu of t a orji?

Ngwakwe: It has been settled as I speak now and Abia Line has been given a strategic place in the heart of Owerri town for their operations.
