Owk, Jonathan didn't do anything, what's buhari doing about it?

Op, did you say u are Igbo? Must you lie?

the issue is that Jonathan had five yrs to do something about the roads and he did zilch..after 4 yrs we can decide what buhari will or will not do about them..pray buhari does not do anything about any of the roads because if he does then Jonathan would just be a fool

Ucheosefoh:
Quote me anywhere this man will be the next governor of Anambra after Obiano. A great strategy to win the hearts of Anambra people, a great politician starts his campaign years before election and no other way to start it than what he has been doing of late but in Anambra and Nationwide

that would be a disaster in the making(except maybe for nnewi town)

the tarred roads are quite important

Kedu ihe ichoro mu ka m kwue?

you can say he is really into 'aku ruo ulo' or he is contributing a large amout of his fortune to develop his hometown but down to earth? Even his posing in those pics will tell you his personality lol

Tour of Dr Ifeanyi Ubahs game village, sports facilities, ultra modern hospital, football academy, shopping mall, industrial complex, international school of linguistics and five star hotel under construction. The most fascinating thing about this great son of Anambra State and Igboland is that he is so down to earth. This investment is so massive that Anambra will soon become the Dubai of Africa.

Security situation is Anambra has encoraged investors. Dr Ifeanyi has been encouraged by Gov Obianos vision for Anambra sons and daughters to think home to develop our great state.

Willie is working and Dr Ifeanyi Ubah is supporting heavily.

I doubt 'down to earth' and Ifeanyi ubah go together

Time To Probe The Corruption in EEDC As 50 Communities Are Thrown In To Darkness


50 Anambra communities suffer power failure
By Isaac Ojo On 27/02/2016
Over 50 out of 177 Anam­bra State communities are currently experienc­ing a total electric power black­out occasioned by the Enugu Electricity Distribution Compa­ny (EEDC)
The traditional ruler of Enu­gu-Ukwu in Njikoka Local Gov­ernment Area, Igwe Ralph Ekp­eh made this known yesterday at Nnewi during a town hall meeting organised by the EEDC.
Igwe Ekpeh pointed out that the electricity distribution compa­ny had earlier set up a power sub-station in Enugu-Ukwu and ac­tually commissioned the project with the communities in the area rejoicing that an end had come to their electricity problems. Howev­er, four days after the commission­ing of the power sub-station, the over 50 communities that got elec­tricity supply were thrown into to­tal darkness.
Igwe said that all efforts to make the officials of the EEDC see reason and effect necessary re­pairs fell on deaf ears as nothing was done to rectify the problem.
Igwe Ekpeh pointed out that as a result of the blackout, many factories in the area had to close shop because they could not afford running their factories with pow­er generating sets.
The traditional ruler ex­pressed worry that the electrici­ty distribution company is always asking the communities to pro­tect their facilities which they have done to the best of their abilities and that it is incumbent on EEDC with its far-reaching connections to partner with security agencies to properly police their facilities.
Also, the Oduma-Obosi community represented by Pas­tor Chizoba Nnaduoju said that they are tired of paying estimated electricity bills which he said the EEDC has used to defraud their community.
Pastor Nnaduoju noted that the community is always made to cough out huge sums of money for the power they did not consume, pointing out that the introduction of prepaid meters will permanent­ly solve that problem.
An Nnewi-based business­man, Chief Kenneth Maduako, who is also the President Gener­al of Azia community noted that there is no difference between NEPA, Power Holdings and the EEDC because they are all exploit­ative in their operations.
He alleged that the entire Ihiala communities are always switched off by the EEDC when­ever there is any festivity like Christmas, Easter and others but the communities would still be billed for those months they are in blackout.Source:omambala dot com(pic)People Demostrating Against EEDC @ Obosi Anambra State!.

GTB is already selling at 199 to dollar as at yesterday.

May your wish never come to pass.

what were the selling last two weeks or before the appreciation of the naira?

manchy7531:
My brother, I understand you...I was just saying in the event of any crisis i.e that igbos are being threatened in lagos or what ever...

As for biafra,that will be the best thing to ever happen to us because while we control our economy, we also have a considerable influence on their economy through lagos/ogun.....just like the german in europe, chinese/japanese in asia and jews in america..

my argurement here is not for or against Biafra but thinking or hoping that those igbos (especially the rich ones) that own and continue to build all those structures are interested in Biafra is just a waste of time..go and discuss with them and see what majority of them think..some of them have not even being to their hometowns or lands for upwards of 5 yrs

IkpuMmadu:
Does that stop the property been Igbo owned..I wonder why people especially those from yoruba have these lazy mindset that if IGBO goes they will relinquish their properties without a fight ...So funny

So when Nigeria had independence from UK dont Nigerians still own property
or when Chechnya, Slavs,Croats left USSR dont Russian still own properties at places like BUDAPEST,SLOVANIA,PRAGUE etc....


These people should wake up...Igbo wont leave a zinc for them ...there are international laws or we burn the whole town down



CANT PEOPLE JUST WORK HARD?


Owo Ile mentality

just wanted to correct an impression that guy had...i dont want to further this argument with you..this thread is about constructions in the se and nothing else

manchy7531:
When It comes to development really, I think igbos have no limit.....

I was at Ago/amuwo axis of lagos and was marvelled at the level of development going there by our people.

A friend of mine who is an estate manager was telling me how that axis 10yrs ago was all swampy and that igbos have bought the whole place, sand filled all the swamps and canals and mehn see structures. There is a new lekki springing up there,all that is needed is their roads to be fixed but I begin to ask my self is this how my brothers are going to fight for biafra?

On the other hand, one thing I have come to understand about our development is that, we just develop anywhere we are not minding the place....those in the east are developing the east too...

Festac,Amuwo,Ago axis of lagos is another world of its own.....95% in the hands of the igbos and I doubt in the eventuality of war or crisis,the so called land owners will be able to challenge us there......

At worst lagos will be divided......every ethnic group will control were it dominates and trust me the choices areas of lagos are under our control.

But still, I dont encourage investing outside igboland. With true/fiscal federalism and good leadership, I believe the igbos will be unstoppable but unfortunately,with the present structure and lack of necessary infrastructure in the east, many igbos will continue to invest outside igboland, at most they just build a residential mansion in the village while their factories, hotels,eateries,school,firms,and other commercial ventures remain outside igboland.

you are making some very wrong assumptions

First is you think those Igbo guys building all over amuwo ,festac and ago are really interested in Biafra then you need to think again

Secondly wether you like it or not Lagos is yorubaland so in the event of division of Nigeria all those Igbo dominated areas will belong to an odua area..nothing like Igbo governing the affairs there as that thought is even laughable.it is like saying sabo ngari area in Kano will not be governed by northerners in the event of a break up..make we no dey deceive ourselves

lekkie073:
just listen to urself ? blah blah blah blah *concluded* dat the man is *guilty*

Stella oduah is a public servant,the mere mention of her name to any form of irregularities will always get nasty. in the case of this *man*....even those dat submitted the petition have not publicly stated the facts in their petition . that's the reason they were called upon by efcc to come and substantiate their claim. if it is meaningless,the efcc would just troway the petition to d dustbin for lawma ....

nothing you wrote here warrantc mentioning easterners

lekkie073:
all these easterners....una no dey use una sense?
a petition is submitted to efcc, does it automatically translate to the petition being true or the subject of the petition being culpable ?


to whom brain is given,thought is expected.....

why are trying to tribalize thread? Is it only easterners that have concluded that the man is guilty? Using your logic people can also ask why conclude on Stella oduah bmw issue when the petition has not being taken to logical conclusion

Udopasa:
Iberibe is when a Governor fail to utilise such an opportunity to seek for investors but to seek for prisoners' repatriation to a worse off prison. Nzuzu is when a Governor makes public this blatant show of wasted opportunity. And imbecility is when a Governor gathers his cabinet to come view and snap with a white man who brought and/or intends not to bring value to his state. Udo dirri unu

Chai Na wa for tho 180 degrees change is support for rochas

chinchum:
It is not entirely artificial, demand of dollar for import has actually declined. Many importers of goods simply stopped demanding at 400, as there is little possibility they can make profit at that margin.

in that case the fall should have been gradual but this fall is steep.Something else has to be behind it

chudionu58:
I don't think am wrong brother. The section that was awarded December 2014 was from Amansea to Enugu @ 24 billion.
http://nannewsnigeria.com/node/38999

still does not prove if it is that section of the road that is going on or rcc going back to site

Nigeria is a funny country where economic theories are defied.So exactly what policy trust or pronouncement happened between when dollar was 400n Las Friday to Wednesday that is now mid 200n?

InyinyaAgbaOku:
It is most likely for the construction of abakiliki roads as many road projects are going on in abakiliki as we speak

I doubt that because the op said they are heading towards abakiliki meaning the op is probably in Enugu.if that is the case it makes no sense fir the rcc trucks to leave ebonyi to Enugu and route back to ebonyi in search of quarry stones

HiddenShadow:
Oil will never rise
Do you know why.? US shale oil will replace any oil not supplied by OPEC and others.
Now tell your dumb President to restructure Nigeria along True Federalism so that all states will be encouraged to become productive

president cannot do that..it can only be done by the legislature

kayfra:
We need it to rebound a bit, at least to a point where everything doesn't disintegrate. Buhari has some protectionists policies that may grow our dead nascent industries and the Minister of trade has already negotiated antI dumping and unfair trade with world trade organization . But with no cash, all thosw good intentions to protect us will be a pipe dream.

I am not too worried about buhari..i am more worried about the state governors who cannot think beyond allocation from abuja

kayfra:
If you read the news you would know that the world powers are already preparing for the disintegration of Saudi Arabia and the war scenario is not farfetched with ISIS and Syria. If all you know is Igbo vs. Hausa vs. Yoruba diatribe then gtfo.

to be honest I wish nothing makes oil rebound quickly so that we be 'forced' to change our priorities and attitudes.

cckris:
In 1929 Bankers were committing suicide, & you're talking of sack.

I guess that was in USA during the great depression.in Nigeria at the moment any sack Na die

kayfra:
It will lead to massive sack. It's just a matter of timing.

One way or the other we have to pay the price of running a monoproduct economy and mismanagement.
We can always hope we would not pay the price foe bad behaviour

kayfra:
This thread is for people that can think. Not people throwing useless party labels.

hope it is not going to lead to massive sack in the banking sector

They should rake in as much money from the 'fake dollar' exchange to help settle their debt.

Epaul:
lol. Not when wike is a system-man(a cultist) himself. Dude dey even 'anchor' him fellow aromates for RSTV. The other time he was seen screaming 'aromate!' on state TV. Only a cultist and those close to one would surmise the 'colour' Wike flies.

lol rivers state is finished

LRNZH:
PMB is saying the right things.
This is the way to go only and a big only if the FG can implement the changes that will boost exports.

Imagine, every time I go abroad I see packaged palm oil from Malaysia and Ghana but not from Nigeria. The list is endless.

God Bless Us All.

that palm oil own really makes me mad when you realise many palm plantations lying fallow from states that emerged from the old eastern region

orlandotch:
The write up indicated dt d organization is a bank. I guess it's Fed. Mortgage Bank.

'development bank'. Sounds mote like bank of industry

Problem is humidity rising..it is the case usually from Feb to April with different variations in different parts of the country..the temperature now is almost the same as late december

Normality:
This is a federal road though.

I dont understand the first pic here..there is already drainage by the side now?

Cmeo:
A current and entrepreneur Nigerian would know that this news is talking about Mr. Olaoluwa, the recentlt sacked MD of Bank of Industry (BOI). The news is so full of details that you wouldn't really need to guess to know who it talks about.

simple since it is reported to be a bank and a developmental one

herboshedhe:
Sure

yes it is a popular pic of uyo that has been circulating for a long time
