As a matter of fact, once we have stable electricity to enable use of elevators, we can actually begin making our apartment buildings to reach 11 or 12 floors as in the picture.It will save land and enable people have decent cheap housing.

Willie is really trying, some states are facing finacial turmoil, but when you come to Anambra all sectors are receiving attention, managing three cities and their subs, that is why when you complained about the slow paced of Onitsha mall I was shocked, you of all people? with little federal allocation, and he is carrying on with these projects, three malls, three flyovers, bridges, hotels, roads etc and all the contractors are on sites doing great, and he is paying civil servants promptly, to me he is the best manager,

Handsomegod:
Bishop Nwanne.I saw this postulation of urs earlier in this thread or in another thread and it tickled (and still do) my fancy greatly.Sincerely,that is the kind of esoteric force an endangered race like Igbos need to not only penetrate the deepest recesses of the enemy and hostile climes,but to also draw sympathy and friendships from other like minded groups and also build their clout to global reckoning leaving the other pathetic groups behind in their cesspool.A group like the one suggested will provide the much needed synergy seemingly lacking in the Igbo race. It will also be the covert propaganda machinery of the future Igbo nation and the source of resources that drives serious advancements and inventions in key critical ventures (nuclear plants,aviation experiments,warfare bases,industrialization,cultural rennaissance et al).
On the flip side,what measures shall be in place to ensure this esoteric group do not turn sinister and menacing to our collective present and future security as a race? I am pro Bavarian Illuminati (not the contemporary rag tag elements) because i know their history and i can say that the world owe much of their civilization and advancements to those exceptional collection of iconic individuals whose inventions and ideas shape the current blaze we all enjoy today,of course including the internet which is the mother of global link.
I earnestly await your ideas.

NB:You are right about the northern mafia.I will say more about that in due time another day.For now,it is none of my business.

May i suggest a Secret Brotherhood of Patriots from SouthEast who will direct the developmemt and advancement of the Igbos society and Black race.



1) The Secret group should be made of Elders, Engineers,Scientists,Military men,Billionires, Politicians,Philosophers,Gurus etc.



2) They must be extremely passionate about the Igbos.



3) They must be Progressive in thinking



4) They must be perfectionists



5) The agenda is to build a First Class igbo society



6) The Agenda must be about leading not just copying the world



7) Other Agenda Must be the Stealing of superior Technology Secret from countries, for competetive reasons.



8. They shall Recruit the Best Talents i call "The Top Geniuses". A special fund will be created to take care of The salaries and welfare of these genius.



This is How they should go about recruiting these people: The recruits are of 2 GROUPS...



*THE FORMAL GROUP:



a) Made of the best graduates in Maths,Physics,chemistry,nanotech,engineering one can find in SE and Nigeria.



b) Best known Lecturals /coach one can find in SE and Nigeria, the lecturals for example must be best and vast in their fields such as in Nanotech,Physics,Chemistry, Structural Engineering,Maths etc. They should be able to guide the INFORMAL GROUP and the graduates



INFORMAL GROUP:


* Made of Raw talents one can find in SE and Nigeria, Like, Fabricators,Mechanics,Welders,Eletronic repairers, Vulcanizers etc



Assembling great minds for specific purposes would be counter productive unless you have Versatile Team Leaders (should come from the Formal Group) to lead the Team(Both Formal & Informal group).



Most Bright people tend to be passive or not adventerous. Gathering them together to create the next big thing or develop a hybrid space rocket for example,is like gathering exotic car parts to assemble itsself.


The "Versatile team leaders" should be able identify a given talent in each member of his team, fit it in his or her field (let say the field is car engines or carburators production) get him specialise in it, improve and refine his product.



A gifted carburator maker should not only make great carburators but also unique ones,because, believe it or not, there are thousands of unknown ways to cook a meal,refine petroleum make flying machine or stuff like that. So,your carburator must not look exactly like BMW carburators-


Thank God for the Versatile team leader whose job will also be to ensure dynamism in his team.


{THIS MODEL CAN BE REPLICATED IN OTHER FIELD LIKE JUDITIARY, CIVIL SERVICE,SPACE RESEARCH,MILITARY,EVEN PRIVATE BUSINESSES.. ETC}..E.g The Military will have the best graduate in military courses,best known military coaches, gifted soldiers (the INFORMAL GROUP)
& versatile
Team military Leaders. Same goes for the Juditiary, Civil Service,e.t.c



So Here are the Qualities Versatile Team Leaders MUST possess.


1. He must be a Futurist



2.His Willpower must be impregnable



3.He must be adventrous and Open minded



4. He must have a mind of an enterpreur



5. Must be Radical progressive.



6.His team must constantly make New and Improved product
s



7. He must be consistent



8. His team must be innovating constantly



9. Must have the ability to put together something irresistable,competitive and durable.



10. He must not neccesarly have the best accademic qualification


NOTE that this piece is still about the Underground patriots (The Secret Brotherhood).



All you need to know about them:



*They are usually reserved for sensetive government project.



*Their major goal is to build Progressive and First class society for the citizens of SouthEast



*They act as the last resort if
everything else fails.



* They act as guardians of every citizen of Southest.



*They help grow and establish some of the Top private companies and Establishment in SouthEast



ADOPTING THE ECONOMY MODEL OF SUCCESSFUL SOCIETIES.


To avoid making this part boring, i will make it short & simple...


So Why are the Advanced societies so developed?



Answer: They turn virtually everything into business!! In other word,they are deeply enmeshed in capitalism and the reason being that Capitalism is self-sustaining.


There is hardly any free thing in advanced world,even the so called Welfare scheme is funded with taxes.


Their Grand Rule:


"If We Must Build, we must Turn It Into Profitable Business or Create A Sustainable Source For Funding It"...


"OTHERWISE LET THE PRIVATE SECTOR TAKE CARE OF IT."



These phylosophy is seen everywhere such as thier Roads, Parks,Trains,Stadia,Education, Science and Tech.



The Beautiful things about Capitalist model is that government makes tons of money from these sea of companies. The country becomes very rich enventually & there is enough to go round in terms of Infrastrcture,employmt, Welfare and Improvd standard of living.


FINALLY,


How 2 FUND Th Top
Geniuses:


funding should come from government & private donation. I recommend they start with 30billion naira per year,though not enough for effectivness and somewhat too small for a project of this size,it still better than nothing.


FUNDING Private Businesses:

If you wish to go into Battery production for example,be sure to have a reasonable amount of fund and the right team. Successfully producing great batteries will attract more fund from Banks & private people.

That's a good move against cruelty. But you started negative and ended negative about Enugu. No room to at least promote its beauty.

The city as we knew it back then was also well planned,

Nice work spyder . But i think posting a pic of just one refuse dump would be enough to convey your message. Those refuse pics lowered the tone of the thread a bit: you don't post those type of pics if you're selling a city, but i understand you may have been looking for 'balance' b/4 peeps accuse you of only showing the nice parts of Enugu.

Manchy, you don't have to run others down to make your point about Enugu. Let's keep the thread 'happy'.

Guy when it comes to real estate, give to Umu-igbo.that is why i don't doubt it when they say we own 70% of the properties in Abuja because i know so well that other tribes don't really build super structures like us.cos for Ndi-igbo properties are not just for commercial purpose,it is also for pride and social prestige.In ala ofenmanu,aside Lagos,before you see houses of such quality and beauty,mehn e go be say the person way get the house en swag too much or na politician.private developers there don't build this kind of houses,neither do individual build such.they just build low quality houses that will start turning brown in less that a year.na only umu-igbo dey fit comot money build better property.that is why the governor of kwara state described the igbos as developers,that if you need your community to develop you have to welcome,accommodate and be nice to the igbos in your community.my head just dey swell when the man dey talk am,even one of my supervisor's estate agent was talking about how the igbos have bought the whole of Awolowo way and turning all the residential houses their to commercial property.he did not just say private developers which means he was generalizing.he particularly mentioned the igbos buying up the whole property there,for my mind i just dey talk say thank God he knows his people can't do such,na only igbos dey fit comot money,take risk build better property.make them dey there na, tomorrow them go one come claim wetin them no own.even here in ile-ife where am running a program,most of the best private hostels are owned by igbos,igbos are building there own private homes here in ife and the whole mayfair,obalufun,lagere,iremo,ede road down to ibadan road have been occupied by the igbo business men and the have brough life back to ile ife after a long recess due to the ife/modakeke crisis.

"Enugu set to become Nigeria's Flagship City" ---Guardian UK [size=25pt] [/size]


Enugu has always been a popular choice for investment, but unable to withstand socioeconomic change. Now it is set to become Nigeria’s flagship city.

Nigeria is urbanising rapidly; more than 50% of its 170 million population now live in cities. This is expected to rise 75% by 2050. Whilst this reflects a surge in Nigeria’s economic growth, rapid urbanisation has resulted in unplanned development and deteriorating service delivery. Housing shortages, worsening environmental conditions and unemployment are increasing people’s vulnerability to infrastructure failure and rising urban poverty.
The city of Enugu is typical of this trend. The mainland state in south-eastern Nigeria is a popular choice for migration due to its mild climate and extensive economic opportunity. As such, investors flooded the market and a deluge of construction and development followed. But this was short-lived. Rapid expansion in Enugu put a huge strain on its infrastructure. Power shortages drove away investment, and insufficient transportation infrastructure made citizens highly vulnerable.

But in 2014, Enugu beat over 330 applications from 94 countries to become a Rockefeller Resilient City. 100 Resilient Cities - pioneered by the Rockefeller Foundation - is dedicated to helping cities become more resilient to physical, social and economic challenges. So how did Enugu secure its place as a 100 Resilient City alongside Paris, London and Chicago?

Regulating urbanisation

Nigeria’s cities are managed by each state, which makes it hard to regulate urbanisation. Recognising the city’s potential, the Enugu state government created Nigeria’s first city-specific development agency to manage its development, the Enugu Capital Territory Development Authority (ECTDA). This is rare in Nigeria, where city-level governments do not exist. “It became evident that thinking strategically about how Enugu could become more resilient was critical to our city’s future and should be a key role of ECTDA,” said commissioner, Hon. IK Ugwuegede.

ECTDA works to administer the city’s assets and plan for its future. It manages city infrastructure and urban development planning and coordinates between state level government departments tasked with governing Enugu’s power supply, roads and services; all fundamental facets of resilience. However building a new agency from scratch is no easy task, so the Nigerian Infrastructure Advisory Facility (NIAF) worked alongside ECTDA offering technical assistance to support more effective city development planning and service delivery. Funded by the Department for International Development (DfiD) and implemented by Adam Smith International, NIAF works in partnership with the state governments to build capacity for resilient urban development.

It was an “innovative approach to urban resilience and commitment to a collaborative partnership that was deemed exceptional,” said Michael Berkowitz, 100 resilient cities president as Enugu secured its place as a Rockefeller Resilient City.

During 2015 Enugu will receive extensive support to develop a resilience strategy and implementation process that will secure its future. Now with Rockefeller Foundation and NIAF support, Enugu will become a flagship city that ensures urbanisation brings prosperity and resilience.
