Enjoyment1:
You are entitled to your opinion, but if you really look at my later comment,s you will see that Anambra politics is a very dangerous one. That is why, I have created a level playing ground for all the candidates.

Kobojunkie:
Soludo has NOT mentioned he wants to focus on TRADE. Soludo has NOT stated what he intends to focus if and when he becomes Governor. Soludo HAS NOT made his plans known. Soludo only said he intends to TRANSFORM anambra to Dubai. That could be interpreted by readers in anyway but SHOULD NOT be confused with the man’s actual Plan. We can wait for him to better explain his angle please.

Power Supply, Water Supply, Good Education, HealthCare, GOOD ROADS ( not patched roads that are destroyed once the rains start), better business-centric environment to encourage both local and foreign business investments, Government Accountabilty, Security, The list goes on!

Dubai, can come afterwards!! People should stand up and rebuke these people for coming up with promises that are not centered on tackling the main problems to this date.

Moves:
you are making me sound like a supporter of soludo, am not I prefer Ngige by far, because I think soludo is sort of elitist, IMO, but i will be objective even when criticising him,

anonimi:
if you read the next line in my post, i clarified:


for [b]proof, you need to find out the legitimate salary and benefits of a CBN governor and soludo's tax returns versus his assets and expenditure before, during and after his five year tenure starting 2004. let me know what profile emerges.[/b]
his case will most probably be like OGD in Ogun who came in as a professional engineer cum businessman to displace highly discredited Osoba. Daniel has since turned out to be great nightmare to even the professionals who rallied round him to be governor. The only difference with soludo is that the writing is already on the wall as to what he will do in anambra given his[b] all-that-glitters-is-not-gold performance in CBN[/b].

Crude Oil:
I mean when he is selected by the party to be their gubernatorial candidate!

Kobojunkie:
Are you serious with the above?  A man tells you he wants to become governor and then makes a statement as to what he intends to do when he becomes governor, but you don’t see why it is best to ask him to better explain himself now and not wait till after he become Governor to understand what he plans to do as Governor? WOW!!

Kobojunkie:
The statement he made is right being interpreted in so many ways by the average citizens of the state, both at home and abroad. So questioning his claim is quite reasonable. Assuming it is all about trade, in my opinion, is not, since the man knows quite well he is not running for governor of CBN any longer but for state governor.

By the way, trade in Anambra has seen tremendous boost over the last decade alone and the poeple know this. Does selling them more of the same really work when the basic needs are still left unmet?

anonimi:
statements made at declaration ceremony, according to mr. bigjoe do not form part of manifesto and delivereables for which teh contestant should be held accountable
why should he explain himself to an ordianry citizen when even pressmen only go to press conferences to receive news and do not ask probing questions

Kobojunkie:
Funny thing is the man DID NOT mention anything of this being about Trade. He simply said he would TRANSFORM the state into Dubai.  How does that imply trade?  Dubai has never been just about trade so why is this mention of Dubai ONLY about the trade aspect of Dubai? By the way, Anambra is not the only state where trade is of importance. Most all other eastern states can be described in the same way.

Kobojunkie:
The Dubai mention this man will need to break down and explain. But then again, I keep having to remind myself that this is Anambra, a state in Nigeria, where the status quo seems to be what the people really want, at the end of the day. He might actually float to victory on just this statement without ever being asked to explain himself.

Enjoyment1:
But indeed, I will appreciate if we could have a similar business atmosphere like Dubai. That place takes so much from our economy. Hard earned foreign exchange go out daily . Paint a picture of us retaining all these sums (if our greedy politicians will allow anyway).

Kobojunkie:

@banom

- See who's talking about censorship? You of all people?
- We all share anxieties and hope for sincere, enlightened and committed leadership, for Anambra, Other states and Nigeria.
- Is that not what I have been saying?
- Soludo has done his best in CBN. No doubt . You win some , you lose some. The current scandals in the banks indicate occurred
during his watch and he continuously assured Nigerians that the banks were healthy. Now we know better.
- What does that tell you? Lack of supervision , negligence, over confidence, sheer mischief, collusion with other interests, cover up?
- Where were the auditing team from CBN?
- Are these defects your "global standards"

You have no regard for Anambra people if you because you have underestimated its potential and what it will take to make it a success.

ave I answered your question?


Not trying to shoot down the point you are trying to make there , but we are yet to get the full story on what is actually going on.

Kobojunkie:
Aarrrgghh!! And you base the above on what? Let me guess, you are here to tell us all what to believe without necessarily providing some reason or substantial evidence to support this? Oh brother!!

Kobojunkie:
As for him going for governor, I am not for it. Why? Because I see him pushing the trend we have seen over and over in that country. If we could boast of free and fair elections, then I would not be bothered at all, but since we don't, I wonder if he will also join others who have paid their way to the sit in the past or not.

Kobojunkie:
Since you admit to the above, then may I suggest you ignore my comments as I am just in the mood to discuss the topic/issue and not personal opinions.

Kobojunkie:
I don't think it is even any of your business if I have chosen to try and convict the man personally. Please focus on the topic and try to separate it from the persons discussing, you might see how personal beliefs and the main issue should not be confused on any level.

citizenY:
as their problem ala Banom and co- the cyber Biafrans.

Moves:
Wow, Nigerians and they way we reason, Why is it so difficult for some people to understand what Soludo said is figurative in speaking, Anambra will always be Anambra cos of it uniqueness, What exactly is Dubai, mainly a trading & business destination , why is it so difficult to fathom that Anambra can be the Dubai in the sense of a large trading center & business destination when it Already has Onitsha Market , which is readily one of the largest market in Africa,  All that is required is good infrastructure , ala roads, transport system, water, power etc, He didnt mean the building of huge skyscrappers like dubai , Following what Fashola is doing in lagos, wont say 4-8years is too small, It is achievable, Anambra just needs world class infrastructures whilst retaining it own uniqueness to become a world class trading hub, which is achivable with focused leadership,

Rubbish.Anambra cannot boast of good enough roads,educational facilities and you are talking about airport.

Must you comment on every post? -- do something else like,

scratch your balls as nkita does, sorry, just jiving

Enjoyment1:
Mr. Banom, I am very surprise to still see you roaming the streets. I thought you were still at Yaba!, where I last saw you!. Never mind, I will inform the doctors that one of their patients have escaped, and is roaming the streets of Abuja, provoking people, and even those on the internet. I see no reason for such an attack. Address issues here, and stop belittling people. I am suspecting you to be one of the half-baked students, that some private institutions (firms) are refusing to employ these days. I wont blame you, afterall, if the schools in Nigeria were run smoothly, we will not have half-baked like you. I pray govt. answer ASUU on time, so that we will not have your type multiplied further.

I weep   for my country for allowing people like you on the net. Please address issues here, afterall I am not the one that told Soludo, to tell the whole world, he will transform Anambra into another Dubai.

Please mind your language, as Igbos abroad and the whole world is reading this.

Thanks.

citizenY:
Anambra politics is also punctuated and you are receiving crap from your politicians

and feeling good about it. You are not following the footsteps of your forebears, dead and alive.

Think about that. Is it Zik, KO, Ekweme,and many others u want to replace with the Uba' s of this world?

Banom & Co are here again,

Clairvoyance and predictions are not the same in all cases. Access to internet

has become license to become a Nostradamus but this time, Mr know all knew all

the reasons behind decisions, good or bad that were taken by our past leaders.

As a matter of fact he was there when the decisions were taken.

The matter under discussion is whether Anambra cn be transformed into A a Dubai

in 4 or 8 years and Nlanders are examining that possibility and in the process commenting on

Soludo's candidacy and wild claims/promises from politicians.


I expect people to put their money where their mouth is-- come out and join since you were

privy to what happened before ( but did not tell us what your role was and why you accepted)

and what the solutions are. All this grandstanding and playing to the gallery will not help.


Anambra needs the best to put it on the right track, taking into consideration its position in Nigeria.

The issue is whether these "too Knows" will not continue to muddle up things and in the process hinder

meaningful discourse on the fundamentals that will bring up a good candidate.


In fact, I do not rule out the possibility of these jaundiced fellows bringing up the

local govt/ our turn

card when the chips are down. Mark my words, anyone that cannot make a presentation without hurling
invectives at perceived foes is bound to repeat same in his locality. The point of departure is always the fault of others.


Perhaps it will b necessary to concentrate on the fundamentals in Anambra politics for a change. This is where the voters are

not in Abuja or Kutuwenji. Address them or are you waiting for Andy and Chris Uba to vote on your behalf? Maybe they will import

voters from Kaora Namoda or Megatari. This is where your problem lies my friends.

Soludo has gone from Central Bank, people are questioning the propriety of his political moves, many questions are being asked about

deeds/misdeeds in is last engagement et etc.Ngige is there as a factor too, so is the sitting governor, Obi. Money and godfather politicsThe parties are there- comatose or

limping or domineering as the case may be. Your problem is at home- leave Abuja, go home and sort it out.


Na so you go do when you get Biafra? Who will be your wailing wall?

Witi:
Are you his sympathizer well you are entitle to that but I dont think you are a Nigerian because the institutions you mentioned can they be trusted to that extent? Cant you read between the lines? How did all the abnormalities unveiled of recent in the banking sector occurred without his observation? Can he claim that he is not aware of situation in the banking sector? Why did he not take action? His present wealth how did he acquire it? Do you really know this solodu before start defending him? WHO MESSED UP THE BANKING SECTOR THEN? OBASANJO, ATIKU, BABANGIDA, RIBADU, SANUSI, ELUMELU,  WHO GUY?

biggjoe:
Until there is an official report from CBN or EFCC indicting Soludo of messing up the banking sector, you guys are only whinning.
