solmusdesigns:This surge is because a credible candidate is on board. This surge will alter all the political permutation done with regards to 2023 presidential election. No candidate is sure of victory as it stands. |

Stop marketing and defending a failure. list his projects at udi, Igbo Etiti, agwu, aniri, isiuzo, ezeagu, nkanu east and west, Igbo Eze north and south etc. We are waiting. Tell us what he did at Enugu east and north. Gburuburu is a thief and that's all. In addition , from my investigation ,this Samson Ezea is from Igbo etiti LGA where this gburuburu didn't construct neither a road nor borehole nor health centre nor common school block. If I lied, let this his media adviser tell us what he did in his local government (Igbo-etiti) |
vicdom:This is what is expected of Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka in Enugu politics but he is a coward. He will win effortlessly He should lead Enugu State. |
fergie001:Who is this man? Just because you are fortunate to rule and loot rivers state shouldn't give you the impetus to discuss about peter Obi. See this ikwerre man that is nobody is talking about peter Obi. Tell me the business you have ever established Mr Governor. |
Isokiscool: |
Igweokalakwu:You are very greedy. Nkanu from the same zone have ruled. It's turn of the isi uzo or Enugu east. |
udokpuenyi:We pray and hope he delivers. Alaigbo needs him to perform. All Igbo sons and daughters are praying for him to succeed. Ya Gazie |
lanreg95:You don't post cars as you did before. Will need updates on highlander 2014-2016. You used to state the cost to Lagos port Regards. |
lanreg95: |
chrisxxx:Just imagine Benin slaves looking down on the great Igbo nation. Shut up your mouth " bloody slave". You people will remain our slaves and will be returned to Benin once Igbo nation is decleared. Just look at Ikwerre man without history making noise. Tell us your históry Benin slave. |

Each time the raison d’etre for the Governor of Enugu State, Right Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi’s not batting an eyelid at the colossally deplorable state of the Opi/9th Mile Road in Enugu State is demanded, the attitudinizers of His Excellency leave nothing at creating a fray and jumping into same to civilize us on how the road in question is a Federal Government road, and as such, falls under the jurisdiction of the Federal Government of this Country. On that singular account, the onus is on the Federal Government of Nigeria in, not just building such roads but also seeing to their proper maintenance and goodness in which case it is illegal for a State Government, or any other government for that matter, to interfere with their constructions or reconstructions or maintenance, whatever it can be called. In this country, people have read, heard and seen State Governors fix Federal Roads either by way of reconstruction or repair. People have also read, heard and seen some or all of these State Governors reimbursed or refunded all or near all or some of the funds vested in those reconstructions or repairs with or without asseverations to pay up the balance(s) in subsequent times. Of course, there exist at least implied troths or commitments that the Federal Government, whose duty it is to build and maintain those roads, would pay up. Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi is said to be from Orba town in Udenu Local Government Area of the State. He is the sitting Governor and lives or should be living in Lion Building (Enugu State Government House). It is natural that from time to time, His Excellency should travel to Orba town to visit his family, and even if there are no family members living in Orba, is Orba, being his root/ancestral home not entitled to intermittent visit as a matter of customary obligation? If Orba, in His Excellency’s estimation, does not deserve such respect, the Governor must still visit for political reasons which are in his own interest. He may have to do a birthday party someday, bury a relative someday, accept a chieftaincy title someday or generally do any of those things politicians do betimes to attract the visit of their friends and colleagues to their country homes. The paramountcy of country homes in the political lexicon cannot be overemphasized. The arrangement of the convergence/confluence of political friends, colleagues and contemporaries – heavyweights – in one’s home town could even be a guise to showcase the palatial edifice of the host to his friends and compatriots, and sometimes to cow natives and put them where they belong – trepidation. That’s conventional amongst politicians and it is understood. So, for a reason or another, this home-visit must occur, and in occurring, the access road is a factor to be put into consideration. The signification of the access road could be best discerned from the fact that Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi build a brand new road connecting the highway to the home of one of his associates when the said associate buried a relative. Recently, I think. The Opi/9th Mile Road connects a very good number of Communities who are living on either side of the Expressway between Opi and 9th Mile Corner. The greater percentage of those Communities are in the Igbo-Etiti Local Government Area of the State, and some are in Udi Local Government Area. Ukehe specifically is one of the Communities relying on the said road. Ukehe Community is one town in Enugu State that stands out in various ways. Ukehe produced the first Executive Governor of Enugu State. Ukehe has a former Deputy Governor of the State. Ukehe has former Ministers of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Ukehe has a former Presidential candidate of a leading political party. Ukehe has a former Justice of the Court of Appeal. Ukehe has the current Chief Judge of the State. In fact, there are numerous others to mention like the former speaker of the State House of Assembly and former member of the National Assembly amongst others. I won’t even mention the former national chairman of an alleged biggest political party in Africa or should I mention the former President-General of Ohaneze Ndigbo who all come from the great Ukehe town. These senior citizens and others who are from Ukehe Community have this Opi/9th Mile road as the major access road to Ukehe. If they are going home from Enugu town, they need Opi/9th Mile Road. If they are going home from Abuja, they need the Opi/9th Mile Road. To get to Ukehe using Opi/9th Mile Road from Opi Junction may consume an average of two precious (but wasted) hours of not walking but driving, as against about fifteen minutes on a motor-worthy road. Ten minutes drive from Opi to Ogbede Junction and two minutes drive from Ogbede Junction to Ukehe. Thereabout. Facing Ukehe from the other side of the road is an approach leading to Aku town. Aku is a densely populated Community whose inhabitants/natives grandstand in education – western education – currently boasting of about a hundred or so Professors in various fields of human (not animal) endeavour, including but not limited to individuals holding professorial status in more fields than one – multi-disciplined eggheads/intellectuals. They do not count their Doctors of Philosophy (PhDs) and their first-degree holders are generally regarded as uneducated or barely educated. They, like Ukehe and other Communities, rely absolutely on Opi/9th Mile Road to access their locality. Yes. In all fairness to His Excellency, Right Honourable Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, Opi/9th Mile Road is a Federal Road. It was built by the Federal Government and should be maintained by the Federal Government. So, His Excellency, the Governor’s hands are tied, even as he bemoans the plight of his subjects that rely on that road. He would always either plead that, or his lieutenants would/will be on the ground to so do. One now wonders if the Governor has never fixed or attempted to fix Federal roads in the state. An online news media, on 25th November 2019 listed Enugu State of Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi as one of the States seeking the refund of funds vested in the repair of Federal Government Roads. A nagging question now becomes what these Federal Roads are which His Excellency fixed in Enugu State if the Opi/9th Mile Road is not among them. In all honesty, this bad road actually doesn’t bother His Excellency nor does the plight of his subjects placing reliance on the said road mean a strand of hair off his nostril. He travels from Lion Building, Enugu to his Orba home town through a beautiful brand new road not built by him. Yes. Not built by him. (His only contribution to that road is his destruction of a portion of it somewhere in Nike in the guise of building a bridge.) Once he leaves Lion Building and connects Abakpa Nike, one won’t even blow one’s nose before the Right Honourable finds himself in Opi (certainly not through 9th Mile). From Opi to the Governor’s Orba is a gift from the gods. No, a gift from the Governor. It is important to note that the Opi/9th Mile Road is an extension of Oba/Opi Road. The same road. The idea that Oba/Opi Road is the same Federal Road as Opi/9th Mile Road doesn’t come to the table for dialogue. It is an exception. The Governor is from Orba and so, as a matter of right or privilege, he practically replaced the Federal Road from Orba to Opi, from where he links the beautiful road fabricated by his predecessor, former Governor Sullivan Chime, but the idea of that fabrication that cut off a very large chunk of the State’s population from accessing their localities is a discussion for another day. NOTE: This Orba is in Enugu State and not Obi Cubana’s Orba in Anambra State So, in summation, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi comes out of Lion Building and, within thirty minutes, is in his Oba edifice through Abakpa Nike via Opi while his electors who have to go to Ukehe, Ohodo, Ozalla, Umuna, Ochima, Ohebe Dim, Aku etc all in Igbo Etiti Local Government of the State and some towns in Udi Local Government who should naturally access their homes from Opi in ten minutes or less are spending hours to do so. Advocates of Opi/Enugu Road via Abakpa Nike were smart enough to create barriers that won’t allow trailers and other big trucks to access it. In that way, the longevity of the road will be assured or at least encouraged. By ensuring and encouraging its longevity, hope is not anywhere near as regards the Opi/9th Mile road. After all, the Governor can always go home from Enugu just as he doesn’t need his Benue neighbours to go to Abuja. The Emene Airport is quite handy from Lion Building. In the same vein, his friends who are to visit his country home should use the same airport, get driven to Orba through Abakpa Nike and return the same way. The Benue State Governor must be a magician. Isn’t it amazing that once you leave Enugu State and enter Benue, travelling that same road, one sail smoothly? How did Ortom of Benue do that? The same Federal Road? Jeepers creepers! How could a sitting Governor behave like one with a grudge against a/some section(s) of his own State? What did the entire Local Government Area of the former President General of Ohaneze Ndigbo, first Executive Governor of the State, Chief Justice of the State, a legion of Professors etc benefit from Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi’s over six years in office as Governor of Enugu State? And when someone attracted a rural road from the Federal Government to escape from that Community into Nsukka or a neighbouring town from which to escape the Opi/9th Mile disaster called a road, why didn’t the Governor honour the commissioning ceremony or send a representative? What’s this pettiness about? As a matter of urgency, His Excellency should prioritize the Opi/9th Mile Road. Organized high profile attacks can be carried out on that road owing to the inability of vehicles to move at normal speed, and that could affect the lives and property of Nigerians, especially his subjects who rely on said road to access their villages. The tears (real or crocodile) he shed in Ukpabi/Nimbo is still fresh in the memory of Nigerians. With appropriate steps taken, similar tears wouldn’t be necessary.

bomb24:No need for all these. Outside Lagos,abuja and rivers, Anambra is on its own league when compared with other 34 states with Oyo coming close. With soludo, anambra will get better. That Airport is a game changer. We will see the traffic and it will be the third busiest airport after Lagos and Abuja in Eight years. I pray soludo delivers and also pray that Ebonyi State gets a new governor that will continue from Umahi unlike what happened in Enugu State after Sullivan. Let's God help Abia and Imo so they can assume their positions. Abia should be next after abuja but they have not been blessed with a good leader. I pray God blesses Imo and Abia come 2023. God bless Ndi Igbo. |
9Pluto:They are dreaming. Let the country disintegrate first and we all gonna see what becomes the so called Ijaw republic. They will regret ever trying to steal land from ibibio, Igbo , yorouba and Edo people. They will be attacked from all angles . They will be returned back to seirelone and Ghana. |
Nigerians don't know what is happening . Nigeria is a failed nation. Hunger will reset our brain come 2022. I see massive protest and violence that will usher in restructuring and later division. Nigeria is broke and will be declared a failed county before 2023. The only thing that will save lives is restructuring/confederation. |
These are some of the economic plans we all are expecting from soludo. Soludo should initiate it in collaboration with other southeast governors. |
PeaceJoyLove:You have no points to present . You need to go back to basics and learn how to present your points devoid of insult. I blame the economy because most of you are suffering . Shalom |
PeaceJoyLove:You have a very poor comprehension skill as I stated earlier. Lagos monopolized seaport and aviation because of the way Nigeria is structured. What do you think will happen to eastern ports once restructuring takes place? When I look at your states I pity lots of you bc your Lagos will pay heavily for gas to power their gas plants. Southwest will suffer once Nigeria divides bc the population that drives Lagos economy will be reduced drastically in 15 years of restructuring. Have you ever imagined imo/Abia/anambra states revenue on gas alone? It will shock all of you. Nobody talks about oil anymore but Gas and we have that in abundance. You should be ashamed of yourself comparing your region with region that was destroyed during war. We have done well for ourselves and very proud of this great achievement with zero support from FG. None of your city is close to onitsha/owerri or enugu and here you are, disgracing your region. If the war took place in west, it would have been disastrous. We just recovered and ready to compete with other regions as you can see. We are growing as seen in Ebonyi state and will grow more. It will shock you people what east will become in the next twenty years . Thank God you can't rig an election in the east anymore as shown in anambra. We will elect leaders that will drive our economy with passion. Soludo will deliver . We are out for the best and development. You people will keep leaving on false statistics while we grow silently. It will shock all of you. |
PeaceJoyLove:You need to go back to basics. I gave you an instance of what I paid in a hotel I lodged in Lagos. The VAT is still 7.5% but south west states collect 5%LCT. You won't understand bc you have refused to travel to other regions to see that your south west states are very very poor excluding Lagos in terms of infrastructure and what have you. Ebonyi is doing better than Ondo and Ekiti but you won't know bc you have refused to tour Nigeria. You people should keep collecting the VAT why we all share it. Let's VAT autonomy starts and it will surprise you what eastern states will collect. The refinery, ENOH gas, and hotels in owerri will do the magic in imo state. Those in telecommunication sector, banking , transportation and betting companies will tell you where the economic activity takes place. Look at southwest the only viable airport is Lagos, same applies to north central Abuja, same applies to north west Kano, same applies to south south rivers but look at the east , Enugu and owerri are doing well , same applies to anambra and Ebonyi once they start operation. We are doing well above other regions irrespective of what you people think. For the last time, we don't pay tax like other regions. Let's the VAt autonomy starts and we all will be here to witness how all your states in southwest will start borrowing money up and down to pay salaries. The only states that will survive the heat will be all eastern states, rivers, akwaibom, delta,Edo, Oyo, ogun,ondo, Lagos,kogi,plateau, kaduna, Lagos. Others will struggle or fail but believe me, osun and Ekiti will fail bc they won't meet up with salary obligation. Shalom |
Seun360:We won't. You want us tax our people to death and share the money with other states and FG when FG have refused to do anything for us. Let the VAT autonomy starts and you will see how much we generate in our states. Only innoson and the brewery in anambra annual tax remitted will be billions of naira. We won't take VAT serious unless we have autonomy over that. |
PeaceJoyLove:You must have a very poor comprehension skill . As I stated earlier, if easterners collect tax the way is collected in south west states, there is no way we won't have a higher VAT when compared with what is collected presently. That's the argument and not how much is collected. Just know that easterners don't pay VAT at the point of purchase/consumption. The same tax collection system in Lagos is applied in osun state and yet, they have a very poor VAT. |
PeaceJoyLove:Easterns don't pay VAT. Have you lodged in any hotel in Enugu and paid VAT on the things you consumed there? It's only in Lagos,Abuja and rivers I paid but Lagos is high because you pay local council tax too. This amounts to 12.5%. |
Iamgrey5:Nothing will change bc in the east , we don't pay VAT the way is paid in south-west. I was in Lagos last week to be precise, and the hotel I lodged charged 12.5% For VAT/LCT for everything I consumed there and I was like, why won't their VAT be high. This is not applied in the east. 12.5% is high but I paid. Bottle water of 1k, I paid 1,125. Bottle of wine 9k, I paid 10k for each bottle. The food was not left out too. That was high men a whole 12.5%. For every 100k spent, I paid 12,500 as tax.

Sufferingboy:With your half LG. It will surprise you to know that all the clans in your so-called two local governments will fight each other. At the end, the pro Igbo will win and your type who is a Benin slave that settled on Igbo land will be returned to benin to continue your slavery as your forefathers did. You are nothing but a slave. I'm sure you are planning on naming your children after one Igbo name and not on your slave language . You slave should champion the renaming of your major markets to your language if at all you have any language as a slave. Slaves everywhere. |
Sufferingboy:You should stop answering Igbo names as you are not Igbo. You people are Benin slaves occupying Igbo land and will be returned to Benin forcefully when the hour comes. Slaves everywhere |
Sufferingboy:You are not Igbo but a Benin slave. You are a slave by naming your major market nkwor which means nothing in your slave language. You should stop naming your children in Igbo. You slaves should stop answering Igbo names. Slaves everywhere. |
walefresh3:And you have two firs branches in Abia state alone. One at Aba and one at umuahia. We know what we are doing. South east is doing fine and growing faster than the other regions. Compare ekiti with Ebonyi, ogun with anambra, Oyo with Enugu, osun with Imo, and ondo with Abia and tell yourself the truth. We have recovered after 50 years and are accelerating. Ebonyi is a case study . We are doing fine and growing at a rate we are comfortable with without FG presence . All the FG roads in east are bad but we aren't deterred by their game . They have moved to media to discourage thé foreign investors but you know what, we will do it on our ways . Shalom. God bless Igbo land. |
Ofodirinwa:We won't tax our people the way other regions do. Rivers state is the worst. They have like 12 revenue tickets/receipts to pay annually. Sanitation, tenement, revenue, risaa,business premises, operational permit , etc. Same applies to southwest where SME paybat least eight to ten tickets annually . Kudos to anambra and Aba for not taxing us much. Ebonyi is towing the path of other regions with their tickets and it's embarrassing. Revenues tickets everywhere in Ebonyi. God bless ala igbo |
Tenshades:His price is ok. Ikenga current price is 13.9m. |
SlayerForever:Even where I work. You need to see how this guy tackled one Ijaw guy that called him Ijaw. |

That's a leverage to get anything oil down to Lagos easily. You sef will be mumu to Lagos more..mu.mu. and you have high comprehensive skill indeed.
