Kobojunkie:
If you read the original post, you will note, I did NOT write it myself. It is from an article in the NewYork Times. Maybe you should ask the NYTimes if YOUR own leaders have committed a crime in this case. I am just the messenger.

While we are at it, I think now is a good time for every Nigerian to learn what the Constitution and Laws really say about the power the leaders have over the state and people. Cause it seems, on a majority, we are not educated enough to know our right from our left in this country.

Is this a sign of the approaching new year?

We should create an system that discourages embezzelement and laziness in the states and regions and that is making the states or regions WORK for their revenue and NOT depend on the FGs allocation.

Kobojunkie:
@FBS, I give up! I don't believe continuing this with you is going to yield anything worthy.

Pray tell, what about his record do I need to concern myself with? @Asha80

If you do not know about David Mark's statements and records in the past then their is no need for us to even argue here.

I laugh at southern nigerians despite their so called academic enlightenment.



kobojunke withstanding David Mark Who does not know david mark's record and history?

When dis one happen

Southern nigerians are probably the dumbest set of people you can encounter in the world when it comes to their right.They think everything starts and ends with speaking grammer or displaying ego.

CyberG:
Posakosa. . .I know it is serious but I have only spoken the truth as I know it. I know you don't live in Nigeria but have you not noticed that most Nigerians (especially in Nigeria) bring GOD into every problem that GOD has given US (just like the countries we live in) brains, arms, legs and everything to resolve? (I believe in GOD, don't get me wrong). A man commits grave evil. . .and Nigeria's solution is to "pray" for him that he lives to commit more evil. . .not repentance! Not punishment as a deterrent to others! Anyone that lives in a functional society (like you and I do) knows that even for any small evil (crime), it may take years. . .but the law will hunt the criminal down, even if he is dead. . .the case will not just be close until EVERYTHING that can be known is found out, dealt with and lessons learned for another time!

Since the end of the Second World War, Israeli Intelligence (the people who are actually "closer" to God) have hunted down every devil that was part of the genocide! If any of them is on his death-bed and quarter to kick-the-bucket, has there been any news of prayer for them but that they be brought to justice? On the other hand, Nigerians PRAY, yet they will die for visa to go to a country that is not just merely praying but dealing with crime and bringing perpetrators to swift justice! Unfortunately, most Nigerians who have only lived in Nigeria have no idea of what it means to have a FUNCTIONAL SOCIETY/DEMOCRACY.

Spot on!

You are a confirmed idiot⁹

It is one thing to plan, it is another thing to implement, It will dawn on Soludo on how inadequate Nigerians and our civil service has become when he gets into the hot sit.

A command ordered by the boss will be echoed down the chain of command, the chain might be 50 steps down, what invariably happens is that the 50th person who got this command might be opearting at a different level from the originator of the command, one will realise such commands gets lost in translation.

Instead of implementing XYZ, ABC and a really low quality ABC is presented for the price of XYZ. I have experince the Nigeria factor at first hand and, it will take an act of God for this peculiar factor to be banished from our DNA.

Was it not Obi that drew the original master plans for Onitsha, Nnewi and Akwa, he spent a lot of money employ national and International consultants to draft a comprehensive master plans for these cities. What happened to his vision upon mounting the rostrum was it lost in translation again.

This is exactly what i want to know.

All this political talk self.

PapaBrowne:
[b]The post is very long and the average Nairalander is not an avid reader, so here are some highlights:

Security of Life and Property

The Goal is to effectively address the menace of armed crimes and kidnapping. Without this, sustainable investment and development cannot take place.

>Creation of job opportunities for the youth
>New models of community policing
>Adequate equipment for the police and security agencies
>Informal policing schemes and intelligence network


[b]Urban Renewal Programmes

62 percent of Anambra population live in urban areas, and because of the urban decay and massive slums, the value of the landed properties in these cities have depreciated greatly. Over 50,000 houses in Onitsha have their market value at less than 20% of their book value. Thus, they cannot translate their assets as collaterals for bank loans. Consequently, Anambra borrows barely 20% of what it saves in the banks. By quadrupling the market value of the landed properties in our cities, we would unleash a growth engine. Furthermore, we need to stem the exodus from Onitsha to Asaba, and create conducive environment for investors.

In the first phase, focus on Onitsha mega city; Awka; Nnewi; and Ekwulobia urban. In the next phase, focus on Otuocha, and Ihiala.

>Development and implementation of master plans
>Massive urban road rehabilitation
>Public parks and recreational grounds
>Water and sewage systems
>Urban mass transit systems
>New Face of Markets (recreation centres, schools, parking facilities)
>Sanitation and environmental beautification (Anambra must wear a new look!)
>Work with the manufacturers in Onitsha and Nnewi industrial clusters to remove the bottlenecks to their ability to compete and create more jobs.


New Awka Capital City and GRA

The current state of Awka is unbefitting as the capital of Anambra State. The Goal is to strive to rescue the existing town by implementing a masterplan, while gradually developing a new, planned capital city.

Greenfield development of new, planned Awka City
Development of recreational centres


New Anambra City (African Dubai - Taiwan)

(The first model, international city in Nigeria after Abuja)

>Sir Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu International Airport (a public-private partnership with Anambra Airline taking Anambra to the world, and bringing the world to Anambra)
>Anambra Shopping World (biggest shopping mall in Africa)
>Anambra Wonder Gardens (tourism and entertainment)
>The Nollywood Studios
>Emeagwali Information Communication Technology (ICT) Village.
>Industrial layout for 3,000 Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to create at least 300,000 jobs (with electricity initially provided by the state >Government) and ultimately linked to the electricity grid.
>Independent Power Plant for Anambra State in partnership with the private sector
>New City layout: residence; schools, entertainment, etc[/b]


Human and Youth Development

The Goal is to invest in the people as the essence of development, and the children and youths as the bridge to the future.

Education (centres of excellence; construction of new classroom blocks and refurbishment of existing schools employing public-private partnership approaches in community primary and secondary schools; promotion of world class private schools; restructure and strengthen the State University and higher institutions)

Our teachers deserve special attention as our future depends on their effectiveness. Continuous training schemes for teachers; rewarding teachers for excellence.


Health[/b]
Building and equipping at least 2 international hospitals (in partnership with Anambra in the Diaspora)
Equipment and upgrading of existing hospitals and health centres
Innovative primary health care delivery system
Enforcement of health care delivery standards
Youth Employment and Empowerment
Recreational Centres and mainstreaming of competitive sporting
Mass employment schemes (public works schemes)
Entrepreneurship Training Centres in all Local Governments
Support Agency for Advisory Services to Young Entrepreneurs
Micro credit schemes for new business start-ups for youth self-employment
Creation of at least 200,000 new job opportunities for the youths

On the issue of urban renewal and masterplan for the three towns in anambra Is he going to adopt the one( maybe with modidfications) on the one already obtained by Peter Obi?

@paddy lo

Aba was actually planned during the mbakwe regime.If you have known aba from 1983 to maybe 1990 you will know.What happened was after mbakwe everything went to the dogs.

KnowAll:
Can you people for once stop this baseless, agenda less and pointless argument and reasonably readjust your sights on the on- goings around you for a second. Whilst you are all wallowing in your blind arguments about some drummed-up quotes and propagandist rhetoric’s of the 1960’s a lot of water has passed under the bridge. The Commonwealth of one the Igbo State at this moment is brazenly and without re-course being plundered with impunity. One of her first-lady is now in hiding after getting are greedy fingers stuck in the rut of corruption.

It would gladden my hearts and the hearts of millions of Igbos who are disillusioned and hapless and out of desperation now erk a living by peddling in hard drugs and kidnapping as a new way of life. If only those with the wherewithal are prepared to re-focus their energies on what is happening today and not what has happened yesteryears life will be better in the East. The Igbo man today is more concerned on how he feeds his family now and not how his Grandfather fed his father.

The region is in disarray, no meaningful development is taking place, it would appear the poster of this article has a strong penchant for digging historical artefacts, I personally think it is good, but a misplaced and an un-warranted priority, my take is, giving the probity skills of this gentleman, his ingenuity can be employed in, forensically examining and disserting the current political jobbers in the East to the benefit of all. Such skills if deployed with the same zeal and zest that this gentle-man has done in uncovering this old huge mine of past Biafran propagandist tools, will not only have brought down a few Governors in the east, it would have expose the irrelevance and unnecessary bureaucratic bottle-necks the houses of assemblies have become, their relevance in our polity today will have to be questioned and queried.


The almost anarchy and deplorable state of Eastern Nigeria is not something any Nigerian will be proud of let alone any Igbo, the mere mention of any town in the east conjures an image of men who wants to grasp you for a few bucks. Why is this modern day fad ignored by the so called Biafran apologist and the intelligentsia, a trend that might consumed the whole East if care is not taking, one will think that this un-enviable way of making money will be at the behest of all right thinking Igbo man. Marriages and Weddings now have to be done in Lagos or Abuja or any other town, something that was unthinkable a few years ago.

The old and elderly are at the mercy of these men of vile minds, who out of joblessness have resulted in an easier way to make money than toiling the ground, it might however be too late to do something now, for once one has tasted the sweetness, easiness and an obligatory payments called ransom any other form of making a living pales into insignificance.

Apart from lagos which other part of the country is making any meaningful progress?is it an eastern thing?As`far `as nigeria remains the way it is the country will bear the brunt of the problems in the east.

Funnily where you not the one complaining how the people from your state are running to lagos and overseas for a better life while igbos taking over your home town in ondo?

i wonder wetin for happen if to say na ESUT thery enter

"If you dont know that desperate situations like wars or the threats of wars drive global technological advancements then you need to go and sit down." I totally agree with you.

"Many people actually forget that the japanese did not invent anything.They actually copied and maybe still copying these technologies but adjust it to there own systems"
Today the Japanese are the best in Electronics.

Why can't we too steal those technologies according to you' instead of stealing our own money and stacking it away in Switzerland. @ Asha If your Father is a politician tell him to change his orientation.

Unfortunately my father no longer exists.

^^^^ you should even be thankful that that coup happened at the time it did otherwise western region would have been under northern total control by now.

When has the dialect spoken in egbema in rivers state become different to the dialect spoken by egbema in imo state?

Egbema dialect in rivers=ogbah?

sjeezy8:
Not a defender I dont give a shit about what Nigeria was built on in the past. Im talking about the future.

Im tired of seeing you people post topics about OLD history and the quotes of OLD forgotten generals. If you post something post the present and not any of these clowns who TRY and stay in Nigerian headlines.

No one cares about his old ass the time for him to speak up is over, most Nigerians dont look at the past they look at the present performing states like Lagos, now Edo and co to the future.

Whenlast have you visited Edo if you have visited the place before?Edo perfoming?I laugh in bini.

OBVIOUS:
This has nothing to do with Omisore--- it has to do with the reporter of the news--- I HATE SAHARA REPORTERS.

Do you know how many more bankers and politicians walking around with fake degrees ?

so because bankers and politicians are moving around with fake degrees omisore should not be exposed?

Are you not the same person I enlightened about the computer and internet not being a PURE whiteman invention? If you don't have an Ego you will never succeeed, all sucessful people have an Ego.  The irony is that you have invited me to brag about who I ma and my achievements - nice try.

You @asha 80 have exemplified your so-called ''african or blackman problems" by mistaking a response to an insult as bragging; which might inturn disintergrate into an argument.

Are you the only person i quoted?Did i not quote hackney as well even though i might aligning with him in this argurement?

Ego as prerequisite to  being succesful?You must be having a laugh.

What invention?

The internet is powered by supercomputers and one of the pioneers was - Philip Emeagwali!
The first personal computer made by IBM was co-invented by an African American -Mark Dean. This is what all computers are based on today.

The USB cable was invented by an Indian

do I have to go on? Emancipate your minds and free yourselves from mental slavery - Marcus Garvey.

Ok you have a point.

I thought some nigerians say he is a fraud _{one of the problems of africa,not recognising there own people}

Why is that those things discoverd by emeagwali not being used as extensively in africa as it is used in foreign land?

As if it is the ultimate truth.The fighting man is the barbaric one and all he brings to world is destruction.Perverted inventions,who said we need them?
