Interesting. So NLC pays salary directly. Not government?

that is the agreement reached during the last strike over the sacking of 3000 workers..labour now collects 70% of allocation of Imo to pay salaries and pension leaving 30% to state government to run the state..i have to agree with Abagworo here as I see crisis ahead within labour itself as this scenario is just not sustainable

Ofodirinwa:
I clicked the article and was left wondering why our governors are so misshapen and dress like slaves.

is that all you can say about this article?

http://linkis.com/www.vanguardngr.com/sGVPh

This caused by cultural practices,lack of foresight by governments and lack of spread of infrastructure

Nixon55:
Is it that they no longer teach reading and comprehension in Nigerian schools or just that the students outrighlty refuse to learn.
The article clearly stated that the Black Rhino group is investing in three power related projects.
1. Solar plant in Kano (100mw)
2. Coal power plant in South East (1000mw)
3. Gas pipe line from Akwa Ibom to Lagos and onwards to Ghana.
Is this hard to comprehend? What's the fuss about Akwa Ibom being in South East or South South?
Nigerian masses being their own enemies...

the coal power plant is in Kano...read the third paragraph and also fourth paragraph well..'set up a coal power plant and solar plant in kano'and 'ganduje said that the consortium decided to set up the power plants in kano' no where was it written set up coal power plant in se.

Abagworo:
Not completely true. He said Imolites will be allowed to choose a candidate for APC and those 2 are out of dozens of possible popular choice but Chike Okafor, Araraume, Madumere and Jude Ejiogu equally enjoy good will.

remove ararume and madumere from that list ..they are not worth it if you ask me

Not sure if this is true or a joke or a slip of tongue

Yes it is

well it was not mentioned in the write up

Ponponkon:
Golden Guinea Breweries umuahia to start operation soon. Abia State Governor Dr Okezie Ikpeazu is committed to make it happen as he took a tour of the facilities and urged the construction workers rebuliding the factory to remain focused as his Government is always ready to see for their need. When in full gear,the. Abia State owned company will employ more than 2000 graduates and non graduates in Nigeria.

Recall that the company was shut down in 2003 following fire outbreak that engulfed it during the administration of Orji Uzor Kalu in the state.

what is the ownership structure of golden guinea?

Thought arochukwu ohafia is a federal road

onyfrank:
kk

what was his promise moreover this looks like grading

onyfrank:
.Unlike what we see before, the current APGA house of Rep memeber representing Aba North and Aba South in Abia State is keeping to his promises. Not those days when senators and house of Rep remembered their constituency during election time and went to oblivion after been elected.
Below is Azuka Drive in Ogbor Hill Aba.

nothing dey show guy

Abagworo:
Igbos do business under the harshest condition in Bama, Mogadishu and Kabul, why can't they manage the condition in their homeland?

first ask why the partnership with abia failed..as you know I have no respect for ta orji's reign in power

dabiko:
Hey bro, I think the young man you quoted made a valid point.

I have read a couple of your comments here and I must say you always find something faulty as regards any cheering news emanating from the Igbo nation or her people.

That has made me to question your claim of being an Igbo son.

Please learn to appreciate your own.

Thanks

what you have said here has no bearing to what i posted first and links I provided

Also bring my quotes that suggest I am anti Igbo

Funny how no one wants to comment on the links I posted

VANHELLSING:
Don't let me abuse u, i have little patience for anti igbo folks like u. You and abagoro should concentrate on ur imo state and one nigeria propaganda. Just allow the patriotic igbos to discuss and champion the course of igbo unity and progress.

I Wu ezigbo anuohia nwuru anwu..iti aki..i gave you a link about the same company and abia state that were supposed to partner to set up this project in the proposed obuaku gas city and instead of trying to find out why it has not materialized you are forming Na ekwugheri about unity of Igbo folks..what has that got to do with the links i provided about a partnership with an Igbo state that is yet to materialize? Since that govt was led by a cretin named ta orji are you in doubt of why it has not yet materialized? I am sure if i did not post those links you probably would not have known of that supposed partnership ..that is what a patriotic Igbo is supposed to find out

Sometimes we have to look at the state govts in the east to know how really biz friendly they are

Adelaide2:
See them, Igbo-Lagos Mugus

The main question you should also ask if abia state government that this same firm wanted to partner in the development of a gas city have done their own part in the partnership they both wanted to forge in 2014 from this story.judging that that was when ta orji was in charge then I doubt that

caselessogbuagu:
Kanu now has a conflicting origin. I thought he's from imo.

bedspread:
Mis information: KANU NWANLWO IS FROM IMO STATE

People from Imo do not answer kanu or kalu..he is from arochukwu I abia state

LordAdam:
Paste the whole content here. That's how it's done on NL.

I think that is not a good news considering that Saudi Arabia had finally agreed to a freeze.

Let us continue monitoring the situation and what will happen in June OPEC meeting.

Someone should tell Buhari to start making hay while the sun shines ooo. If OPEC no freeze output by June, kasala go burst for this country ooo. Russia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar don already dey plan ahead, na only Nigeria dey wait for increase in oil price.

-Lord

just watched an Iranian official been interviewed and he said Iran cannot set an oil embargo on itself by cutting any oil output.That Iran is going to reach their production level before the embargo before it even listens to any talk about cutting back..he said it in such a way to suggest that other oil nations should not bother them about cutting oil output

http://money.cnn.com/2016/02/28/news/economy/iran-oil-production-deputy-minister-interview/

betterABIAstate:
men, I don't understand oooo but let's wait till they finish

I have seen that pic before and I did not know what to make of it

ijustdey:
http://dailypost.ng/2016/02/29/crude-oil-will-soon-sell-for-50-per-barrel-kachikwu/

LordAdam:
I am hopeful too.
June 2016 OPEC general meeting might see a freeze deal come about. If it would get to $50 is not something I'm sure about, but it should exceed the $38 which the finance ministry pegged the 2016 budget on.
Now the issue is how to address the huge N2.2t deficit and place proactive measures in place in case a freeze deal does not happen. One can not really be certain. Russia has already planned ahead. Saudi Arabia has already planned ahead with $700b in reserves. Qatar is the richest country in the world by GDP per capita (their population is only about 2 million people).
Nigeria cannot afford to rest our hopes on the backs of countries that can afford to run their economies for the next 10 years on current oil price. Buhari should act now. We are already feeling the effect of his docility when he refused to appoint ministers for 5 months. If he hopes on a freeze deal and that falls through, the weight of the recession will overshadow him.
-Lord

Ofodirinwa:
This man is an slowpoke. The price is low because the US has more oil than both Saudi and Russia and is no longer importing the way it used to. Soon they will even export adding to world over supply. The US is no longer interested in foreign oil. They can freeze whatever they want to freeze the price will keep dropping as they find oil in new places here in the US.

I hope kachikwu is aware

[quote author=betterABIAstate post=43361041][/quote]is that cement laid on where grass is supposed to be?

madenigga:
Let us stay there so that you people would be taking away all out jobs and oil and leave us with oil spill?
We are fighting for our rights dont come here and say we blow up oil pipelines asif we enjoy doing it.
We Rivers people dont travel all we hv is in our state here if there are Rivers indigenes outside its a minority and its because non indegenes hv taken all our jobs away.

you last paragraph here is not a statement supposed to be by a person proud of his state..i mean why cant indigenes create jobs for themselves or indigenes set up oil related firms and employ there own people?

lookandlaff:
The kind of heroes and role models ones has says a lot about the person and the truth is nothing I will say will make a difference,

please whenever you want to saying anything do not back it up with bare faced lies and needless patronizing.

lookandlaff:
You can do the math, I am not talking about Otta, Obasanjo acquired Otta while he was a military head of state. The incident I am referring to happenned post 1999.

boy forget talk no Yoruba man let alone former head of state would leave sw and north to look for huge land for agriculture in the se and whether obasanjo acquired otta as head of state is immaterial as far as the farm was gotten from stolen wealth the indigenes should endeavour to close the farm down now that he is out of power after as you said no be Una wan extradite kashamu?

Look my friend I earlier in this thread cautioned someone that was talking aboh ubah becoming governor because i know that would be disastrous but if ubah wants to invest his money in his state I dont see hiw that is a problem after all it is his money.dont know what you mean putting him on a pedestal.pedestal to what exactly?

lookandlaff:
because you people keep glorifying, looters, 419s, drug dealers etc. There are credible and respectable honest hardworking and successful Ibo buisness men, Innoson, Ibeto, Ekenne dili chukwu, Maduka, these should be your role models not dodgy uncouth characters like Ubah. If you put Ubah on a pedestal it just shows you value money more than character/integrity.

A SW state allocated a few thousand hectares to a yoruba ex head of state to establish a large farm. As part of the process you know that when govt allocates that sizeable land to you, you have to go and see the villagers. The ex-president was told in no uncertain terms by the villagers that his stolen money is not welcome there, in the end he had to go and seek land for his farm in one of the eastern states. A people must have honour and stand for something and not just bow down because someone is throwing money at you irrespective of his source of wealth. If you bow to anyone with money, people lose respect for you because it means you have no sense of right and wrong. See the effort to extradite Kashamu, be cause we know he is an embarrassment to us and doesn't represent our values. He himself knows though he is a senator he can't make noise.

there are only two ex head of states that are Yoruba obasanjo and shonekan..shonekan's reign was not up to a yr and he is not a farmer leaving only obasanjo as the man that fits the bill you are describing.So is it the ota farms? Why hasn't the villagers chased obasanjo out of ota farms even after he has come down from leadership and the money used to set up that huge farm is obviously stolen wealth? Or is it a case of sophisticated stealing? He went to the east to seek land indeed and I wonder how that went under the raider

HiddenShadow:
I don't believe it has to do with the North.
Our leaders are not passionate and inventive about development
Our leaders are like Buhari

like what Arthur eze surprisingly said
http://elendureports.com/n/business-2/igbo-politicians-undermining-south-east-devt-arthur-eze/

Liberty90:
Nice thought. My fear is northerners will call him soon and warn him to dissist from going on with it or else. Hope he stays strong because I know deep in my heart that this project will be abandoned very soon like Akwa Ibom Ibaka and Onitsha River port. We SS and SE still don't understand that the systematic marginalization of SS and SE. There is a reason why Calabar, Rivers and Warri ports are not functional...it's not by happenstance, it's a well calculated plan to ensure that SE and SS isn't economically independent as having a functional ports will ensure that. Our people don't get this!

or else what happens to him?

omonnakoda:
Rational competition is very good but how rationa is this simple questions hopefully we can get some answers

What is he building
How much will it cost
Where is the money coming from
Who are the contractors
When will construction Finish

There should be that level of transparency
When leaders start to lie to their people and they believe them there is problem.
Our constitution is clear NO ONE can build a PORT without the FG (NPA) approval. I do not recall that information being in the public domain
SO whatever he is building I very much doubt it is a Port

the headline is wrong...from what I can see this is just construction of road leading to the site and not the actual construction of the port..i doubt that one has been started

DankemzI:
Ikpaezu my main man.
This Man will be the best performing governor watch out for Abia State
How I wish my Gov. Udom Emmanuel will stop licking Akpabio's ass

he has to lick it well Na to perform lol...seems you are in the know in what happens in aks govt house

Charlesdonald:
is jesus bro

which Jesus? Keep deceiving yourself

betterABIAstate:
Ikpeazu starts clearing roads leading to the site of the port, NTA visited the site for report, the site is just 23nautical miles from the ocean. This port will boast economic activities in abia and Nigeria at large.

op you dey work with nta? This one you are with the crew..i was expecting a link yo this story

Charlesdonald:
Tallest status if jesus Christ in imo

tallest statue of borgias not Jesus Christ
