5 years in office, the governor of Nsukka has not construct 1 kilometer 'standard road' outside Nsukka zone. Meanwhile, over 70% IGR comes from the abandoned Enugu metropolis. A governor who receives billions of naira monthly from the federal government yet nothing to show for it. He is siphoning our money to develop Abuja where he belongs. We are keeping records because he will leave office one day.

Has Ugwuanyi ruined Enugu State? Discuss

Is this the Milken hill?

That is if our people patronize the airport as they have snubbed enugu airport
Funny enough many people in SE and Igbos in diaspora are still unaware that international travels take place originating from Enugu or ending in Enugu. Many SE based business people still take the risk of carrying money to Lagos when flying to China instead of using the nearer Enugu international airport.

Our diaspora Igbos are even more hilarious. I have seen too many people using Ethiopian airline from Europe or America fly to Abuja or Lagos. Then board overnight bus with their families to travel to Enugu or somewhere in the SE. imagine the risk they expose those children to with very long road travels. Apart from robbery and bad roads; most of them experience untold abuse when their vehicles break down in the middle of nowhere. Then they make vlogs complaining about rough roads, police harrassment at checkpoints and other funny troubles they brought on themselves for lack of knowledge.



The way Igbos home and abroad snubbed Enugu Airport has made not to blame the federal government for lack of infrastructure in Igbos. Since the upgrade of Enugu Airport to international status, I have been using Ethiopian airline from London to Enugu even though I pay little more. It is a decision I took and I am not changing my mind unless the airline closes the route or the so called federal government shuts it down. If the federal government builds Onitsha seaport, the story will still be the same. Igbos will still find a reason why they cannot use it.

Everybody complains about high cost of ticket forgetting that it's economy of scale that determines the air ticket prices. If a large number of Igbos start using the airport, the price will definitely crash. It used to 700 pounds from London but it's now 500pounds. I will be booking a ticket in few days and i just realized that travelling to Enugu from London from January is just about 500 pounds. The difference between Lagos and Enugu may just be 100 pounds. What is 100 pounds to all the troubles one goes through sleeping in unsafe hotels in Lagos, paying all the bribes to police check points and and all the bad roads one has to pass through travelling to east.

There's one asking Igbos to come back home. He just came back from Germany and guess where he landed, Lagos. While in Lagos he was still preaching reverse migration, asking Igbos in diaspora to relocate their business home, but he cannot patronize the only airline plying Igbo route.

Igbos are very foolish and stupid in nature. We are only good at making noise. Like CJrane pointed out, the way Igbos worship Lagos is so embarrassing that sometimes one will look at Lagos and wonder what the heck there is to enjoy there. Many years ago I visited my cousin at Lagos, he was living around Alaba market. The toilet pits in the house they lived were full to the brim because of rain. In the morning, kids will defecate everywhere in the compound. For the few days I spent there, I could barely eat food. They used to have light once or twice a week. There were about 6 of them sharing a single room.

I also visited my friend who was living at Ojota area within the premises of one hospital. When it rains, the entire compound will be under water. You have to wade through the water when leaving or coming back to the house. Electricity was non existent. Some of the places Igbos live in Lagos, yet very proud is shocking. The things our people endure in Lagos they can never endure in Igboland. They say Aba is bad but the truth is that Aba is heaven when compared to some Areas Igbos live in Lagos.

So whether the federal government builds seaport or not, it does not in anyway influence the attitude towards Igboland.

EFCC begins investigation of illegally sold public property in Enugu
By Lawrence Njoku, Enugu | 01 May 2017 | 4:30 am

• Seals off multi-million naira shopping centre commission
Indications have emerged that the anti-graft agency, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), may have begun investigations into some public landed property illegally sold under the immediate past administration of Sullivan Chime in Enugu state.

This is as the commission yesterday sealed off the multi-million naira shopping complex sharing a fence with the Enugu State House of Assembly on Independence layout

The yet to be completed complex with a capacity to employ at least 300 workers when operational was boldly marked “keep off, under EFCC investigation” round the perimeter walls and entrances yesterday. All the entrances were under lock and key when The Guardian visited the place at noon. It has raised a lot of dust since commencement of work there over its location in the three arms zone of the state.


The complex, which is linked to two former public officers in the state, was one of the facilities allegedly shown to operatives of the commission recently by a petitioner, Mr Ray Nnaji.
It could be recalled that part of the crisis that arose at the twilight of the immediate past administration was the sale of the landed property for shopping malls after it was carved out from the premises of the State House of Assembly.

The lawmakers had seriously opposed the move on the ground that they were not consulted adding that the location wrong as it was not part of the original plan of the area. They had moved the resolution asking the private developers to stop further construction and urged the state government to relocate the site of the project.

The stand of the lawmakers did not go down well with the state government thus leading to a crisis that factionalized the Assembly and inability of the members to converge till the end of the administration. While the crisis however unsettled the House of Assembly, work continued in the premises.

Sources told The Guardian that the shopping complex is among several other landed property listed in some of the petitions certain persons authored against the immediate past administration.

The Fulani/Yoruba people wearing the gab of EFCC under the guise of fighting corruption, have come to Enugu again to destroy businesses that would give jobs to our unemployed youths. The same thing they did to Chimaroke and funny enough, some Igbo people will cheer this because they didn't benefit from the loot. Our people, when are we going to learn? The main goal of these guys is to make sure no viable business succeeds in Igboland, so that our sons and daughters will end up in Lagos and Abuja. I am not in support of embezzling public fund but why don't they return those properties to the state government at the end of the day. Their main goal is to close down those businesses nothing more nothing less. They want our politicians to move the loot to Abuja and Lagos because only then will they be protected. Peter Obi built a shopping mall at Abuja, when are they going to close that one. Ndi Igbo please be wise.

Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi is a thief who has come to kill, steal and destroy Enugu State. By the time that buffoon finishes with Enugu State, sorry will be our name.

Just imagine the sorry of a governor, all we get from the slowpoke and his shameless clannish brothers is only excuses. If Chime were so irresponsible, he would have stolen all the money coming to Enugu treasury and also give excuses of lack of funds. Chime never ever in his administration complained of lack funds.

Shame on Ndi Nsukka, Shame on all of you. You people are a disgrace to Enugu State. I wish you people were yanked off Enugu State map so you can join your Fulani slave masters.

Ugwuanyi bu Onye oshi oo 2x


Please sing with me. Nonsense!

Godprotectigbo2:


guy put picture of the highlighted project pls

Which project? Lol. Ugwuanyi is a joke.

I just went through a list of 15 top secondary schools in Nigeria and surprisingly Mea Mater Elizabeth High School Agbani was there. The criteria for selecting the schools was according to their respective performances in WASC exams. Never knew the school is good. Please support Chimaroke's school if you can afford it. I am not a fan of Chimaroke but I love good things.

Chiwude:
Pls can someone who is on ground confirm the information about Fulani herdsmen invasion of Ukpabi Nimbo community in Uzo-Uwani.

Thanks I was about making same update. The governor just had a meeting with the Fulani community to ensure peace in the state but the guy forgets that the Fulanis are invaders and colonialists and nothing will stop their killings unless those being killed surrender or fight back.

In its effort to provide housing for all, the Enugu State government has teamed up with a firm FIT Consult Ltd for the development of New Independence Layout in the Enugu metropolis.
The project, expected to gulp N11 billion, is to be undertaken by the Shenyang Yuanda Commercial Company Ltd, a Chinese firm. The new estate would also take the pattern of Chinese housing estates known as the Heliu Residences.
Facilities to be enjoyed in the estate include 24 hour water supply, 24 hour security, serviced plots, paved roads, street lights, recreation club, shopping mall, sidewalks and parks.
The state Commissioner for Lands and Urban Development, Hon. Solomon Onah told reporters at the presentation of the housing project that such estate has not been developed anywhere in the Southeast.
Onah noted that since the creation of Enugu state 25 years ago, no new area has been developed in a proper manner, with full modern facilities until now.
He explained that the Heliu Residences at the New Independence Layout is to be constructed in partnership with a consortium of local and international companies led by FIT Consult Limited.
He threw some light on the project, saying, “This is a Public-Private partnership, where the state government is contributing the land required, while the consortium will develop the infrastructure, so that the serviced plots can be made available for individual development. The estimated total cost of infrastructure is about N3.5billion and we hope that the much needed revenue the state seeks will come from the sales of the plots while providing job opportunities for our teeming youths.”
Presenting the specifics of the project, the managing partner of the FIT Consult Limited, Chief Loretta Aniagolu explained that FIT Consult and its consortium would provide financing to construct the infrastructure and houses.
She said that total estimated infrastructure cost is N3.5billion while estimated housing construction cost is N7.5billion. She further explained that only single family or twin family duplexes and bungalows are permitted and not exceeding two floors of ground and first.
According to Aniagolu, a plot of land at the estate is obtainable at between N9.5million and N10billion and allocation is within 10 working days of down payment while the certificate of occupancy is obtained within 14 working days of payment of statutory fees.
“All home construction must commence by March 2017 and money back guarantee of infrastructure not provided by March 2017,” stressed Aniagolu.
The Chinese managing partner, Xin Jiang Johnny in his contribution said the estate is in two sections. One will be fully developed by the consortium while the other to be built by individuals but strictly to the specifications.

I hope Enugu life and Golf City has not been abandoned. Please what's the point in starting a fresh estate while the other one is yet to see any significant progress. I hope this is not a land grabbing ploy.

Brainstorming...work needs to be done

Please name the road if you don't mind. I love the road. Once I begin to see verifiable projects done by Ugwuanyi, then he will become my friend. I will praise him all the way like I praised Sullivan. I love good people.

investnow2013:
How much do they charge now?

You can check on their website. As at today I saw £499 to and fro London-Enugu.

henrychubayo:
The news am hearing sounds good. But in this country called Nigeria, we have more talks than action. The company should start building mega facilities in Enugu close to the airport to show that the are very serious in this project. Since Enugu will be their Regional hub or whatever the call it, why not start by building a big facility that will include Maintenance, customer care section and offices which they will need. These will prove to me that they mean business.

Meanwhile let no one try to sabotage the Ethiopian Airways because of Air Peace. These guys have made a lot of sacrifices despite all odds. Now the airport is gaining more recognition and support all because of ET hard work and patience. We should allow them eat the fruit of their Labour. I decided to patronize them to support their idea of Enugu but I wasn't disappointed by this Queen Sheba. Am happy that more people are also patronizing and supporting. Enugu airport is gradually growing in traffic. I know this because I have been tracking live flights to Coal City always. But who got the New pics of the international terminal? A beg roll it and realease the gun shots.

I will advise us to visit Air Peace Facebook page and read people's reviews and feedbacks about the airline. Maybe we may be able to understand all the noise about Air Peace. I wish the airline well though, but they have to improve their service delivery, if theyare serious about resuming international flight.

henrychubayo:
The international terminal building should not exceed this year. It's hindering the growth of the Airport. I bòok Enugu route via ET for a friend of mine just to support the airline. He came back and told me the terminal is taking shape. Interior works have since resume since the completion of roofing. He also said that they are at it day and night. But not a single pic from him which made me doubt some of the things he said. But I saw he was happy not to have pass thru stress of landing in Lagos first b4 coal city.

Ethiopian airline is now charging the same fare for Enugu and Lagos. I am encouraged to use the airline again from London to Enugu. I was pissed off having to pay £700+ to land in Enugu while landing in Lagos could cost me about £400+.

What tangible project has Gov. Ugwuanyi started and finished since taking over office from Sullivan? Please, someone should help me.

So a new airline called Hahn Airlines System is operating Enugu-Lagos route and nobody has said anything about it.

Please what is the airline like?

MrEverest:
Can't you see how embarrassing it is whenever we call them fellow Igbos only for them to deny us?? What do they have to offer us that we don't have Honestly I don't give a hoot about them.

I have always been of the opinion that it's counter-productive trying to force an identify on someone.

'Every man has got a right to decide his own destiny', say Bob Marley. I can decide not to identify as an Igbo and so are Ikwerres. When you try to force an adult to identify with something he doesn't like, he is likely to resist it even to death, even when such identity will favour him. The key word is coercion!

Let's leave Ikwerres to decide who they are, and only time will tell who really belongs where. Make Igboland what it ought to be, stop developing non core Igbo States, I bet the Ikwerres and their likes will oneday somersault and start claiming Igbos.

One of the problems I have with Nnamdi Kanu is calling Efiks and Ibibios, Igbo people. Yet he will deny that Igbos have any ancestral link with the Yorubas even when some Igbo words and syllables have some semblance to the Yorubas.

Nobody has the prerogative to assign heritage to anyone. We all know our history, we tell history but it should stop at that.

If anyone for whatever reason known to him decides he doesn't belong to any tribe, I think their decision should be respected. I do not like the idea of constantly reminding an adult that he who he says he is not.

Psychologically, people tend to rebuff cheap and unsolicited friendly advances. If a beautiful educated girl walks up to a guy and tells him she loves him; it's natural for the guy to feel too important even when he is a nobody, and also perceive the girl as cheap.

As long as we Igbos persistently remind the Ikwerres and Aniomas that they are Igbos, a handful of them will continue to feel too important and rebuff our friendly advances.

As you just pointed out, the Ikwerres have nothing that other Igbos don't have. There's absolutely nothing they can offer Igbos.

However, I feel it's not right to force identity on people. Personally, I don't do that.
