Collapse the states into the geo-political zones, but retain the local governments.

makes sense

df2006:
@poster pls post pics of your region, which i believe is the southeast, and stop using the south south to support yourself, the Bottom licking is pathetic!

he said eastern nigeria not south east or south south

morever you should be praying fervently for your uduaghan misled delta state

ikengawo is back with his nonsensical topics

Cosmas Onyeneke?that name sounds familiar except there is a nickname he is most known for and i cannot remember now

if he is whom i think he is then i am not suprised he has always had a shady character.

pcmadu:
what are you guys talking about, Imo State is way develop than what you guys think. I am not an owerri man, i am from Mbaise, i would proudly tell you that most part of Mbaise is develop(Obizi, Achigali, Obuafu etc), When i went to orlu i was shock by the development, almost all part of Orlu plus Njaba area are all develop. Dont you guys know that most top Imo politicain and Orlu and Mbaise people, you think they dont develop their own areas too.

do you mean achingali?because achingali is in obowo.

wait this aladinma shopping plaza is not that piece of land near housing estate primary school aladinma and is flanked by mbano and lake nwaebere street  

when did this happen?  

i believe in 100% control for states and regions and taxes paid to the centre.

[quote author=tpia@ link=topic=772293.msg9264299#msg9264299 date=1317594616]As per the buses, well the link gave their registration numbers which are anambra state.

I dont know if luxurious bus companies are registered in the state their headquarters are based in, or their destination states.

It would help if you could find out what's the usual procedure for transporting large numbers of displaced people. Does the govt have state vehicles it uses in such situations or are private companies contacted for help.[/quote]before where do you expect it to be?

don't you know that most luxury bus owners are from anambra and some of there head quaters is there?

all these are major roads in owerri.

i would have prefered pictures of aladinma,ikenegbu,works,ikenegbu extension(back of dan anyiam stadium),works,federal housing,shellcamp,prefab etc

well it is there priority

aloy i have not seen where 1.2bn was quoted anywhere in the article

PhysicsQED:
Average compared to who?

And what criteria did you use to conclude that he was an average governor?

Take into account the money he's working with, and how the state was when he entered it, and it'll dawn on you that in Nigeria, he's definitely one of the better governors. I think the real problem is that people don't swamp this forum posting all the projects he undertakes in his state like they do for some other states, so the extent of his effort stays under the radar despite deserving more accolades than some governors that are hyped up for no real reason.

Oshiomhole is better than all but a few governors in Nigeria, so he can't be average. You don't need wikileaks or the [url=http://www.thenationonlineng.net/2011/index.php/newsextra/21303-edo-and-the-world-bank%E2%80%99s-endorsement.html]world bank[/url] to figure that out, although they paint the same picture - that he's one of the better performing governors in Nigeria.

well if you say so bros

chairman of amuwo odofin lga recently raised an alarm that people are trying to assasinate him

i actually think oshiomole is an average governor.people are saying he is doing well because igbinideon and osunbor before him were pathetic.

too late for that

if those youths are found to guilty just blast them.

Akerekoroabijawara:
It is not right.

the town is not safe by recent activities by armed robbers.so why should banks open in that kind of situation?they would remain closed until they see semblance of peace.

Akerekoroabijawara:
Due to incessant bank robberies in Ilesa,osun state.All banks in the town as embark on 2 weeks strike until the government find lasting solution to numerous bank robbery in the town.Is it right ?

do you think it is not?

is this sarcasm?

however there is always this funny talk about luxury transport owners trying to frustrate any airport in anambra.not sure of that rumor though

Anambra to become oil producing state soon –Anyaoku

Barring any unforeseen circumstance, Anambra State will join the league of oil producing states in the country in three months time. This development, was made known by Chief Emeka Anyaoku, former Commonwealth Secretary General and a major stakeholder in Orient Petroleum Company Plc, which is currently building a refinery in Otuocha, the headquarters of Anambra East Local Government.

Speaking during the special event, held last weekend as part of the activities marking the celebration of the 20th anniversary of Anambra State, Chief Anyaoku stated that within the said three months period, the prospect of Anambra becoming an oil producing state will be a reality, more so, when the Orient Petroleum is expected to get to the stage of exploring the crude oil in the Anambra basin.

Chief Anyaoku, who chaired the special anniversary lecture titled: “Anambra at 20: A Call for Collective Action” presented by the Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, also commended the state governor, Peter Obi for celebrating the attainment of 20 years by the state. During her presentation, Okonjo Iweala used the opportunity offered by the event to warn Nigerians that the country’s oil reserve will last for the next 35 years; hence there is an urgent need now to move the economy from one that is mono product based to a diversified one, with emphasis on agriculture, industrialization and repair of existing infrastructures.

The Finance Minister said: “We have to look at the non-traditional sectors, like the Nollywood, an industry that has created 200,000 direct jobs, we won’t interfere in that sector, as a government, we would provide the enabling environment for them to thrive,” adding that it is now time to priorities our needs and operate manageable budgets. Earlier, the state governor, Peter Obi had defended his administration’s celebration of 20th anniversary of the state saying: “We are celebrating the 20th anniversary because for the first time in the past four years, Anambra state did not experience any form of what we are known for, and that is why we are celebrating, our present situation is worth celebrating.”

Am sure By His Grace, Anambra Orient Refinery will take off by November or December 2011 at worst, plus or minus.

hmmm.seems it is going on as planned

chino11:
The Anambra International Cargo airport is located in the Anambra East not too far from the Orient Petroleum (Oil and Gas) Refinery. The airport is centrally located for use of the oil companies for international and national purposes, it is just 10 min drive to the economic/commercial capital of Onitsha through American qtrs/Onitsha GRA and 20min to Awka the administrative state capital and about 25-30 min to technological capital of Nnewi. Presently things are falling in pleasant places for Anambra taking the position of the hub of Nigeria and West Africa

is that place still on course?i heard there were some hiccups in the finance to set up the place.

chino11:
Don't discuss what you don't know. As I write this piece Anambra International Cargo Airport construction will soon take off, asaba airport is just a small passenger airport with no such facility for cargo business. There is slim chance that Anambra will use that airport. Anambra airport was commissioned and designated for passenger and cargo uses. So you don't sit somewhere and claim what you don't know. With the Onitsha Port and International Cargo Airport, Anambra is set to be the next economic hub of SE/SS and Nigeria at large with all the international and national investors that are presently trooping in Anambra

the way u go off attacking anyone that slightly gives a contrasting view is something else.na that you clerified the issue what was the use of the condescending tone?

and where is the cargo airpot going to be located?

Beaf:
This is how I see it.
The dredging of the Niger opens up a totally new and much cheaper way to distribute goods around the SE, SS, Abuja (through Lokoja) and the Middle Belt. There will be no bad roads (Apapa - Oshodi) or high cost of rent as obstacles to the free flow of commerce. The cost of river transportation is also dirt cheap compared to road and the only money spent would be on dredging and keeping the water clear, in total still much more cheaper than road or rail.

As soon as the river port in Lokoja and the deep sea port in Akwa Ibom are completed, there will be a very dramatic effect on Lagos. Money always goes where business is easier and cheaper.

Beaf:
River Benue is also going to be dredged which means that River Niger would be the preferred route for transportation of foodstuff down South from Benue and Mambilla.
It will be so much cheaper and convenient.

a lot of people do not know this.a fully loaded medium sized barge carries a load up to 30 big lorries carry and it consumes far less fuel.

Diligence:
Can't wait any longer for the FG approved cargo/passenger international airport in Anambra State - waz happeng!

doubt whether that will happen.asaba has taken the initiative

tunnytox:
Look if you don't understand a Yoruba proverb that's very understandable but for you to think you can interprete a Yoruba proverb which you have no idea what it means is ridiculous to say the least. Please just don't even go there its not my fault that your Igbo brothers decides to build in sokoto and zamfara instead of Aba, onitsha or umahia.   "Aya gba tapa o n kole fun igunnu! t'eru ba pe nile epe alajobi ni o ma se"

so you think ndu chucks is an igbo man?is this the first time you are seeing his posts?

this tosinville of a character must have real inferiority complex about igbos or he is not exposed.na only alaba market you go find igbos?

everytime he is ranting about igbos and alaba market and pirated cd.if you are so much unhappy about the situation why go to alaba and rent a shop there.

and who does not know yorubas controll the taxi industry in nigeria.is that supposed to be news or something to be ashamed of?

Abagworo:
Don't laugh at him for he is suffering from a complex instilled in him by his father.You need to live among these people to understand the level of brain wash.I took my friend to Imo State and when he saw Oguta lake,he said "this is not Igboland".That Igbos have no large river,oil and do not fish.I told him I'm Igbo and there's my family house.He was surprised.Most of the Ijaw youths have not been outside their family house and rely mainly on stories told by their parents in judging Igbos.On the contrary,Igbos have no stories about Ijaw until they grow up and encounter the aggression.

Check this Asari's interview https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-296572.0.html

so i guess by that your friends definition agulu lake and abadaba lake are not in igboland?man brainwashing can be very dangerous.
