Why did he talk about Peter obi when he wasn't asked any question relating to politics. No wonder sane people are complaining about the insane and violent nature of the supporters. His action is almost in line but some of the bumps were constructed on street roads because of safety of the residents especially children running around carelessly.

Shows the movement is after a sane working Nigeria. Not stomach infrastructure like you are after.

Doubleoh7:
What most of those guys make are not bumps but hills and mountains. Low clearance vehicles like the ferrari and their likes will definitely hang on top such. Pass through Diamond estate to link up festival mall, Amuwo Odofin for people in Lagos and tell me if those things there are bumps or high walls

Guy you just relayed my mind exactly.

Those bumps at diamond estate annoys me like mad whenever I pass there...How the residents of that vicinity have not done anything about those stupid bumps for years now baffles me.

Haven't those bumps damaged their cars bad enough?!

Fake news

This was during the 1 million March done for him Last week.

SmartPolician:
"We plan to recruit qualified medical doctors and nurses for our general hospitals and upscale the infrastructure in selected ones. “We have already received over 26,000 applications in response to our advertisement to recruit and train teachers for our primary and secondary schools."

I thought people said that nurses and doctors are not available because they have all left the country. Where are the 26k applicants coming from, heaven?

BTW, Ngige needs to come up with that bond he once talked about. Medical doctors and nurses who studied in Nigeria's public universities have to stay back and practice for some years before leaving, otherwise they will pay a particular sum before leaving the country. But then, the government needs to improve their work conditions and pay package.

If they don't like the idea, they should try private universities or should travel abroad and do their undergraduate studies over there. I always tell people that the FG subsidizes university education that's why we pay peanuts in tuitions in fed varsities. University education is not cheap anywhere in the world.

Read again, the 26k recruitment is for teachers not doctors and nurses.

OP your iberibe is legendary!

I think all these new developments is working in favour of Peter Obi candidacy, who in his usual wisdom and way he plays his politics is not fighting or abusing his fellow contestants,

He even went to atiku declaration but still declared the next day saying he doesn't do strife or war politics.

Atiku and northerners wouldn't rather allow obi to have it if it gets to consensus arrangement than allow wike who is scatter scatter man.

Wike will also allow Peter to have it( I have never seen or heard him say anything bad about Peter Obi,so I believe Peter is in his good books) than allow any northerner with his insistence that it must go to the south (if he can't get it).

In all God is answering our prayers, Nigeria will be great again.

The former governor of Anambra state has officially thrown his hat into race for president of the federal republic of Nigeria.

He made the declaration today before the council of traditional rulers and other dignitaries at Awka Anambra state.

Just Negodu Quality!

The new governor of Anambra State, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, yesterday said although the problems confronting the state remained daunting, with the backing of the people, the new government was poised to record huge successes.

The governor, who spoke on ARISE Television, THISDAY’s broadcast arm, stated that he had in possession a blueprint and that with the various documents at his disposal, he fully understands where the state is headed in the coming years.

However, asked about the state of the state’s finances and where the funding for his numerous projects will come from, the former Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), noted that although the resources were paltry and “almost zero”, he knew about the problems before applying for the job.

Soludo explained that from the records at his disposal, Anambra had a debt of about N109 billion and between N300 million to N400 million in cash.

He stated, “But we are undaunted, as I said in my inaugural speech. We’ll get water out of the stone, with the people working with us, mobilising with us, we will be able to get water out of stone. Anambra has all the potential, but also equally matched with the challenges.”

Within the context of what he described as Nigeria’s “unitary federalism”, the governor promised to govern creatively and collaborate with the federal government as well as development partners to maximise the limited resources available..

“And given the available resources that we have, we’re going to explore all kinds of creative means of revenues beyond the usual, so to speak, to be able to collect revenues to do these things,” he stressed.

Soludo pledged that with on-going the discussions with all stakeholders, including the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), the weekly forced stay-at-home will be a thing of the past soon.

While acknowledging that there will be resistance to the change the state was about to experience, the governor promised to meet those who will try to stop the job of “liberating” the Anambra people “in the streets.”

Soludo said, “We’re prepared to meet them in the streets and liberate the common man in the streets. This government is about the common man. Law and order are going to be the very first essence; it is at the foundation of everything, of every society. We must restore law and order,” he stressed.

Pressured to disclose what he met in terms of the state’s finances, Soludo said there was already an audited account, which he said was a public document at the end of December 1, 2021, but added that a lot of reconciliations will still need to be done.

The former CBN governor said, “But everybody knows that the state finances are not quite robust, to put it mildly. Debt is probably in the range of a hundred and something billion. Then cash a few hundred million. That’s what I saw. That’s the base.

“But we are still going to have reconciliations and have all the accounts from January to the date that we took over. And I think it’s best practise actually, when you ask this question. We intend to have a very transparent public finance management system where we will publish everything.

“Everybody will know what is there and what is not there, what penny comes in what and what it is used for, and that is the aspiration. That’s part of what we promised in our manifesto. Very transparent public finance management.

“If I remember correctly, the cash in various banks is about N300 million or N400 and then the audited accountants as at December would be debt of about N109 billion. That’s what I saw.

“But we will take it from there. For me, that’s the baseline. When we do the other contingent liabilities, contractor debts and the other issues. It’s not what happened, but it’s where we draw the line and then move on, but that’s the baseline.”

He described his predecessor, Mr Willy Obiano, as a good man and honourable man, adding that he wasn’t envisaging any friction with him and his (Soludo’s) deputy in the future.

Playing down on the altercation between Bianca, the wife of the late Igbo leader, Odimegwu Ojukwu, during his inauguration, Soludo noted that it was some form of comic relief, explaining that to him, it never detracted from the event.

Soludo said, “When you were talking about the cat fight, I was just laughing and because of all the funny videos that have emerged from this, for me it’s just a comic relief.

“It’s the comedy that has emerged from it all that I have enjoyed. There is no distraction whatsoever. I think it was meant to be. Sometime to come, there will even be some movies or comedies and even a song out of that.

“As you saw, I didn’t even notice much of what happened. I think it happened while I was going to sign the oath of allegiance. It was just like a one-second thing. I turned again and continued signing my thing and I have not had one minute discussing it, other than the comic relief you see posted. We are intensely focused on what we must deliver to our
people.”

He promised to hit the ground running, Soludo said that he has roughly four years to make good his plans, noting that there’s no time to waste on frivolities.

“We have four years to do this. And actually, it’s three years and eight months, that’s why we are not going to miss any one minute.

“But for me, I’m just waiting on the list of commissioners which will get to the Assembly and hopefully in the next two days will read the list and then we’ll get to work. And once they give me an approval for the commissioners, we hit the road, but even in-between that, things will happen.”

He promised to give priority to made in Anambra goods and Nigerian made products,” because it is the way the world works.”

On security, Soludo said, “The discussions are on-going. As I announced on my inaugural speech, my first meeting was on security. So I am fully briefed, the conversations are going on and I believe strongly that we’ll get it cracked, probably not going to be done in one day, but we’re going to crack it.

“The sit-at-home thing will definitely end and we are having conversations with all the stakeholders, IPOB and everybody else, trying to engage everybody. It is the people’s power that will prevail at the end of the day.

“And I know that that will definitely stop and we’re working on that. Like I said, we are determined to restore law and order,” he stated.

AbijaJ:
Guy getat. No be your people dey shout 'it is our turn' upandan?? Why can't Obi show the courage to also lend his voice by throwing his hat in the ring? Is he so lilly-livered that he can't even demonstrate a spirit of competition? He should take a stand and identify with the agitation for Igbo presidency like some me of his fellow Igbo politicians have done, not unless you guys are just blowing hot air with your Igbo presidency agitation. Peter Obi is simply a coward.

The same you will say Peter Obi is very desperate for power when he start fighting dirty or making such moves.

The man is just after what will make Nigeria better and solve it's numerous problems not just because it's his life dreams or ambition.

Whether he gets the opportunity to lead or not, you can obviously see dosen't bother him

FSBoperator:
If the verdict on Umahi is thrown out by the Supreme court, expect this Osu to defect to the party that will win the 2023 elections.

I have been saying it that soludo is an APC member since he served in Buhari's economic team .

APGA is just a platform for hire . The most useless party in Nigeria is the Okoro party known as APGA.

Only Obiono never defected from APGA. All politicians elected on APGA platform have deflected .

Why is everything Igbo so corrupt? From their Igbo churches to their very own supposedly regional party, money and money alone remains their ideology.

Spit.

I think it's for your own good to use your hands to be buying the Igbo you normally smoke.

Iwobi has two match suspension from afcon, that's why he is not on the list.

AmericanQuarter:
Don't mind those people, it can only be bitterness

You people need to learn what public service is all about.

If it is only positive feedback and cover-ups in other not to embrass the government or give room to your enemies like one said is all you want to be hearing, then you are not ready for governance and will achieve very little.

Every feedback should be heard and addressed whether one with bad intentions or not.

If you only surround yourself with praise singers, you can guess what the outcome would be.

The old team of obiano, commissioner of works and the rest are now tired and now need to step aside.

Not good

The deputy commited no crime other than he remained with a party that elected him.

[quote author= post=109294078]Party of looters, criminals and thieves supported by online line fraudsters and criminals.




Gbamsolutely!!!

A party of looters and criminals that couldn't construct their National HEADQUARTERS for 16 years want to build a country!
Awon werey 100%.

Going on memory lane for those that suffer from collective amnesia around, AKA Children of hate, frustrations and perdition..
The 12-storey structure projected to serve as the national secretariat of the former ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is tottering, being a borrowed vision that was not contemplated by the founding fathers of the party.
 
 After organising fundraising on two occasions and gathering billions of naira, the office could not complete that single project.

As such, five years after work on the site was stopped in 2014, the new helmsmen in PDP are crying for funds to see to the completion of the building. However, the cry for more funds has raised fresh concerns over the status and whereabouts of the N21billion raised during a special fundraising dinner organised by the party on December 2014.  
  
Incumbent PDP national chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, recently lamented that there was not enough money to complete the new national secretariat, which cost has was varied upwards from N11.5bilion to N16billion.
    
The then governor of Kaduna State, Alhaji Namadi Sambo, an architect, was commissioned to put up the project design. And in a bid to get the structure off the drawing board, PDP organised fundraising on November 14, 2008, targeting N10b out of which it raked in N6b. The dinner was chaired by Vice President Goodluck Jonathan and the highest donation came from Mr. Femi Otedola, while the richest man in Africa, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, announced a donation of N3b worth of cement.

UP TILL NOW, Nothing to show for it.
They even sold the cement Dangote gave them and looted the money!

This dead and looting party doing all they can trying to stay relevant.
Awon werey 100%!!



A party of looters and criminals that couldn't construct their national headquarters for 16 years want to build a country!
Awon werey 100%.

Perennial losers and thieves.
Party of confusion, looting and corrupt souls in disarray..

Truth is not bitter, just that people are bitter to the truth........

PDP in Nigeria again?!
God forbid bad thing
we rather vote for FRESH Party!!

We Rise.


Amen.
Chief Uba,
God bless you and yours too.
A better Nigeria all around is all we want.

If the truth want to kill some people, let them die![/quote]Money pledged is different from money redeemed or paid.

Many of those donors might not have redeemed the pledge and there is nothing you can do about it other than to keep pleading to them to redeem their pledge

So saying the funds were looted is without evidence and just APC supporters way of catching cruise.

ChimaAdeoye:
Oga Igboson, please calm down. Nobody is in doubt that IPOB is doing the right thing for the oppressed and marginalized people of Biafraland. But we should learn to do the same thing across the board so it does not appear as though we are targeting one state all the time.

I personally support IPOB but they have to shed the recent toga of anti-Anambra agenda by demonstrating equity in their orders. I totally agree with those that just want them for the sake of equity to declare "No elections" in all southeast states until MNK is released. They can call off the order on the eve of the elections to show there is no partiality in issuing orders against one state and not the other. Everybody knows and supports what IPOB is fighting for, but they must ensure that all states share the burden of the struggle equally.

They should not always remember to do so during only Anambra elections. Then suddenly forget to maintain the same stance in other elections. The order was issued during 2017 Anambra elections, but was expediently forgotten during the 2019 elections in Imo! Again we saw it in the 2020 Anambra elections and you are saying it be expediently forgotten during the 2023 Imo and Ebonyi elections? Chai, diaris God o! Stop the double standards nah?

Is there any election scheduled to happen this year in South East?

Na big man estate, na why the matter even reach like this.

They will sort themselves out, make some calls

Baba say oil has been selling above $100 since 1999 wey this democracy start and Nigeria has been producing 2million barrels non stop... Amazing!

And him and his minster of misinformation say it's the soro soke youth that give out fake news

In the last 27 years oil has only in approximately 3yrs sold above $100
Only in some few yrs of Jonathan administration...

every other time was far less....it even sold as low as $9 during Obasanjo tenure

And Nigeria oil production has been fluctuating like a mad man

If the MOD can just hide the last 5 pages on this thread.

Grown men na waa o!....is this how we we will operate the Biafra we claim to be agitating for?!

Na so we go segregate reach our blood family members.

Ekene Kwa mu nu!

All those convert airtime to cash platforms or services are armed robbers! You will loose alot using that option.

The reasonable option is to wait for family and friends to buy from you at the normal face value when they need airtime to buy.

InternalAuditor:
Obiano was building international airport, international conference centre and stadium simultaneously but Ugwuanyi was building just a local stadium somewhere and that appears to be his biggest achievement in almost 8yrs. You cannot compare the two scenarios within the same time frame. If Obiano was just building stadium he would have built the type in Brazil.

Am not even comparing ugwuanyi achievement with obiano's.....the airport is top notch, the international conference center is top notch, the stadium should have been too, like I said earlier it wouldn't have cost much from the resources obiano had available.

Anyway lets hope soludo would do better at that project.

OreMI22:
This is the first phase of the stadium. Which is to create a FIFA standard pitch, Floodlights, Public address systems, and able to transmit LIVE matches from the stadium will be completed this year.

The second phase of the project is focused on increasing the sitting capacity. I prefer the phased construction approach so that the stadium can continue to be used for sporting events and sports development in the state, while more pavillions are gradually added. Than to leave it abandoned for 10 years until a 30,000 - 50,000 Pavillion is completed. Like many stadia in Nigeria today.

The time it took them to complete what we have there now( they have been building this sports arena for the past 2+ years) is the same time it will take to build the full stadium with thousands of sitting capacity....so your argument doesn't totally make sense.

If they have done this in 6 months I will agree with you

From recent videos/news received, the governor is not even talking about any 2nd phase of the project, was talking more of maintaining the sports arena as it is with the maintenance contract given to the monimichelle guy.

Ceegar01:
Obiano should have added construction of more pavilion to the contract I don't know how much it will cost him to do that, I'm not surprise no body is even proud enough to post it here on nairaland, if it was the other way round the post would have hit front page by now

Asin I don't understand.....It wouldn't have even cost much.

Just see what ugwuanyi could do at nsukka below

This is the outcome of the usage of Mkpuru Mili on a youth recently.

Great Guy! And lai Mohammed nightmare!

But this is actually commendable, from what I read there pregnant women are delivered free of charge given a delivery pack and still given some money(forget the amount)

Other government hospital in other states I know pregnant women are charged nothing less than 40k for delivery in addition with other expenses like buying drugs.

Tribalism aside, and going by Nigerian standard this is commendable.

Those that keep saying why are there nobody monitoring CCTV installed.

Do you know the logistics and cost that is involved in having some people 24hrs staring at monitors without doing anything else.

Some of these places can go 5yrs without having incidents like this.

Most CCTV installed are for investigative purposes and once in a while luckily see events at the right time it's happening

Lovenorth:
I have never seen a panel as useless as this end SARS panel, Sanwu Olu is really a nice guy

Because they stood up for the truth?

Am very sure there would have been no need of any white paper if this panel findings had favoured the government narrative.

They would ask you what else do you want to hear again that the panel has given its verdict.

Don't be surprised when they ask for purple paper too later.
