PoliticsRe: Why Northerners Are Urging Their People Not To Avenge Ibadan Attacks by ChimaAdeoye: 8:19pm On Feb 17, 2021

Believe Fulani gimmicks at your peril.

They are really looking for a way to fight every group agitating against Fulani herdsmen atrocities piecemeal.

They are also aware that Nigerians are ready to defend their land against Fulani murderers in Nigerian army and those calling themselves herdsmen.

[quote author= post=]Anambra under Obiano: A Silhouette of Greatness.

By James Eze

It is clear as daylight now, that Governor Willie Obiano has not forgotten Winston Churchill’s memorable quote which he deployed in his acceptance speech as the candidate of APGA in the November 2013 election that made him a governor. Inspired by the electrifying atmosphere of the day and egged on by the weight of the moment, Chief Obiano had declared to his fellow party faithful in Churchill’s own words “history will be kind to me for I intend to write it.”

Seven years down the line, Obiano has written a fascinating piece of history for himself and Ndi Anambra. He has changed both the landscape and the mindscape of the state with his compelling vision. He is opening the state up for future growth. He is furiously laying the foundation for Anambra’s imminent rise as a towering economic corridor in Nigeria. And now, in the closing year of his tenure, the outlines of Obiano’s renascent Anambra have emerged from the canvass. And sincerely, this what everyone has waited to see of Anambra State…a place where the true talent of the people is reflected in the civilization they have built.

Now, here are the building bricks of this coming greatness - Seven years of sustained investment in security has created a social capital which will take a while to expend. It took hard work to bring the state to a point where the country’s security establishment unanimously declared Anambra the safest state in Nigeria. Security is a consciousness experienced in two layers. One is physical and the other psychological. On the physical realm is the readiness of the state to bring the full weight of the law down on whoever may wish to take liberties with the law. On the psychological plain is the slow but crucial acceptance by residents and visitors that a particular location is safe enough to live and thrive in and that the law would spring to their protection in the event of a threat. A free society is a precursor for economic development. A society is as free as the degree of freedom it enjoys in public safety. No meaningful and sustainable economic progress can be recorded in a volatile atmosphere, plagued by fear and uncertainty.

Governor Obiano understood this and he made watertight security his foundation for the Anambra of his dream. The results have been impressive. In 2019, the World Bank rated Anambra among the Top-5 Most Improved States in ease of doing business in Nigeria. The state was given a presidential award for this achievement. It must be remembered that this was once a state where no serious entrepreneur would risk a visit only a few years earlier.

As a corollary to Anambra’s impressive showing on the ease of doing business index, foreign investments have been flowing into the state. Again, the National Bureau of Statistics reports that in 2020, Anambra attracted foreign investments worth $10.2 million. It is interesting that to note that not even the COVID-19 pandemic could get in the way of these investments. And of course, we are talking about a state which most people would rather stay away from just a few years ago.

The most distinctive of Obiano’s building bricks of greatnes so far is in the fight against poverty. The National Bureau of Statistics reports that in 2010, the level of poverty in Anambra State stood at 53% on the national average. Interestingly, ten years later, Anambra rates 14.8% on national average indicating a huge drop of 358%. Six out of these ten years were under Obiano’s watch. And we may wish to note that within those six years, Nigeria has experienced two recessions but Anambra was totally insulated from the shock of the first recession through Obiano’s competent handling of the local economy. This is a measure of what Ndi Anambra have done with the confidence inspired by their governor.

Meanwhile, the crowning glory of the Obiano years is the Anambra International Airport, Umueri and the International Conference Center in Awka. These are two audacious legacy projects that have given Anambra a sturdy foot into the future. But only those with a level of discernment can see the emerging outline. Only such people can see that if you are adjudged the safest state in Nigeria for many successive years, the world would want to do business with you. And for you to host the world, you need a world class facility; an International Conference Center. And if you build a 10,000-capacity Conference Center, how will the world access it if you don’t have an airport? How would some of the largest professional bodies like the Nigeria Bar Association, the Institute of Chartered Accountants, the Nigeria Society of Engineers, the Association of Nigerian Authors and many others access the facility if there is no airport? If you have the largest retail market in West Africa, wouldn’t building an airport enhance the potentials of that market by increasing the footfalls in and out of it? Can anyone doubt the economic import of hosting major conferences in Anambra State?

When you connect the items on this canvass with a clear line, what will emerge is a solid outline of a new Anambra State; a new economic hemisphere that will serve as a land of dreams for its dynamic people and other dreamers from across the world. What anyone with a gift of discernment will not miss in this outline is a visionary attempt to finally deploy the essential gravity that will bring Anambra’s famous universe of success back down to the earth of its own roots.
God bless Governor Willie Obiano for all these[/quote]I must concede that all in all, God kept the light shining in Anambra through Obiano!

The truth is that he could have done very little and simply blame it on lower oil price and nobody would even question him. But to solidly work towards building solid legacies that will catapult Anambra state from one of those local states, to one of the best states in Nigeria deserves our gratitude to the man Willie Obiano!

Because Miyetti Allah demanded town hall meetings and land for them to do Ruga in every region abi?

You Fulanis have no idea that you are not a colonial master. But soon you will get the message. Whether you arm Miyetti Allah or not to kill villagers, it won't change anything. Instead, people will now attack Miyetti Allah with the sole purpose of reprisals and not merely to ask them to leave the forests and farms.

Even if you force southern governors to give Fulani land for Ruga, the people will resist it and no Fulani can ever go there to do Ruga. There are already free land given for Ruga at Lokpanta, Ugwuoba etc, why are you asking for more land? Then after a few years, you will demand for more land and continue like that forever?

Any ways, the time for ranting is over. Just continue your Fulani pranks. It changes nothing.

last phase of eziukwu road construction (this section is also called cemetery market road).To be done using rigid pavement thue to soil deterioration
This is the part of the road i was referring to in my previous post below. This is truly wonderful!! It is fantastic he is putting wide gutters and doing this work in dry season. I hope they have a serious sense of urgency to complete it before the first rains begin next month.

God bless Gov Okezie Ikpeazu for his courage to tackle this part of Eziukwu road! It has been bad for more than 25 years!


ChimaAdeoye:
Nnwanne,

I was raised in Aba. I lived on Crystal park hotel junction, Akalanna street and later on Ekenna str off Okigwe road when i worked in the old Absuth site. Now reverted to Aba General hospital. I said all these just to make you understand that i'm not one of those you can fool in Aba. Abum KOMPLETE NwaAba!

Back to my question: (Let me explain the bearing so you'll totally understand where i'm asking about).

If you stand on Eziukwu road behind the Aba General Hospital (Old Absuth) facing Osusu railroad (Ama Ogbonna) & Osusu market,
1. On your Right Eziukwu road leads to Milverton junction, to ASA road (That is the part you are showing)
2. On your Left Eziukwu road continues until its junction with Ehi road, Cameroon road (That is the part I am asking)

The part of Eziukwu road that you are showing has remained motorable but bad. The part of Eziukwu road that i am asking has remained impassable for many years. My question is whether it has been fixed.

Let me quickly add that i'm so grateful that Governor Okezie is finally fixing internal roads in Aba and working on drainages to help reduce flooding and elongate the lifespan of the roads. I am completely grateful to him. But he shouldn't relent. A lot more needs to be done to return Aba to its former glory.

Actually, I remembered when Gen Ibrahim Babangida in 2016 advised that already settled issues in Nigeria should not be re-opened again. He was making a reference to Fulani excesses in the country and relying on use of Nigerian army, which could re-ignite age long issues. We can all see that he was right, and this is just the beginning.

The issue now isn't how to divide Nigeria which will happen anyway, it is how to stop the imminent bloody conflict brewing furiously.

[s][/s]
I don't know why these people are so pained by this airport. I ran into a discussion among some of them in Facebook on how it would take 100 years to do perimeter fencing of the airport because it should be block concrete walls. From the desperate sound of the dude to find something wrong with the airport, i suspect he might be one of them here. He sounded so strikingly like this Mktinsight A.K.A obikenobi by how he confidently argued what was blatantly false by mixing a lot of misinformation and unrelated issues.

So I decided to just post these pictures of renowned international airports globally from New York JFK, Atlanta airport and London Heathrow to buttress the point that barbed-wire fences are the global standards for perimeter airport fencing! Airport fences are simply to prevent intrusion of large animals like cows into the runway. In fact, in many African international airports, the pole holding these barbed wires are made of wood! Meaning local carpenters alone can insert these wooden pegs in the soil, stand their base with a little concrete and nail barbed wires onto them. That should suffice for perimeter fencing around the runway.

Besides, many so called international airports in Nigeria are not even fenced at all. Anyone making such silly argument to discredit the airport should drop it and look for something else!

PoliticsRe: Update on developments in Anambra state-photos by ChimaAdeoye:
Obi1kenobi:
So instead of coming together with the Enugu government to reconstruct the unmotorable sections of the most important expressway in the SE (which will be reimbursed by the FG), building an airport that loses money every year is the solution? If you live in certain parts of Lagos with very bad roads, it can take you more than 5hrs to get to your destination in Lagos. 2 years ago, getting from Badagry to Mile 2 on Lagos-Badagry expressway would take you far more than 5 hours. That's before you even start thinking of reaching airport in Ikeja. Infact, even on good roads, traffic gridlock with tankers and trailers blocking the roads is enough. Many people in Lagos don't drive to work and okada is their transport mode of choice or you'll sleep driving on the road. So these are bad excuses to saddle yourself with a vanity project. The fact is majority of Anambrarians are well served by surrounding airports if they want to use them because Anambra is a very small state and neighboring states are easily accessible and this mitigates the need for its own airport when it is surrounded by accessible airports.
Nwokem, stop deluding yourself with silly argument! Ordinarily i ignore people like you that it is obvious are motivated by primitive envy. But it is important to point out a few things because i have seen many like you here and even on facebook spilling bile just because a fellow state in the south east is finally getting an airport? Meanwhile every state in the south south has at least one airport! About 80 - 90% of states in the northwest, north central and even northeast have airport! Infact Anambra airport will only be the 3rd airport in the entire southeast region, which is the lowest number of airports among the 6 geopolitical regions! Some of you are truly pathetic.

Anyway, back to your argument;
Does Lagos have an airport? YES!
Is there any part of Lagos beyond 100 KM from the Lagos airport? No!
If Lagos did not have an airport with its economic indices and an airport exists in Ibadan, Would Lagos build an Lagos airport? YES!!! For a FACT!
In fact, Lagos is planning a SECOND International airport at Eko Atlantic city and it is well deserved if that city takes off.

So why are you twisting your head comparing apples and oranges, and thinking we are all brain dead that can't tell the difference? Again the same argument was made against owerri airport with many like you saying it will cause PH and Enugu airports to close down. Did Owerri airport cause Enugu and PH airports to close down? When ASUTECH was established in 1980s, many similarly called creation of state universities the "proliferation of universities" when Nigerians had not filled the quota capacity of UNN. Today, the same people are calling for more federal universities in their new states claiming the existing STATE universities are insufficient! Mind you, the same state university was a campus of ASUTECH! Do you now get where i am going? Out of respect, i will not mention the name of the politician.

NO IGBOMAN SHOULD CASTIGATE ANY DEVELOPMENT IN IGBOLAND JUST BECAUSE ITS NOT IN HIS STATE. Afterall, Stella Oduah fought for Enugu airport to become international and she is still paying the price for the bitterness it generated with other tribes in Nigeria. Let us learn to appreciate and support good things wherever we see them in Igboland, and stop joining those with hidden agenda to make Igboland the backyard of Nigeria without airports, seaport or any critical infrastructure whatsoever.

Since in your mind, Igbo nation deserves only one airport at Enugu, why don't you simply advice the Enugu state government to build the expressway from Ugwuoba to Enugu so that coming from Anambra will be easier? In any case, it will cost more than N100 billion to build that distance of expressway which is clearly beyond the financial capacity of Enugu state unless Nigeria is restructured so that states collect taxes on a lot of things and toll gates.

Enugu will always be the capital of Igboland and No airport or mansion built outside Enugu is big or important enough to take that away. But we should be happy to see development in all parts of Igboland. Knowing that we live in a country with deliberate conspiracy to make Igboland the Poto-poto capital of Nigeria. But they are not God! That is why i also support the development of an Ebonyi International airport because it will boost the development of Ebonyi state. i would be at the forefront to encourage the next Abia Governor to prioritize an airport somewhere between Aba - Umuahia to also support speedy access to the state. I would support regional railway network as the Federal Government has refused to build any railway in Igboland. But prefers to build it in a foreign country Niger Republic!

Like all fair-minded onye Igbo, you should be happy that infrastructure denied the southeast by the oppressive federal government is finally being built by the state! Just see how you delude yourself turning and twisting deluded arguments to find any reason to justify the injustice that Anambra does not deserve an airport? It's shameful bro that any Igboman should reason like that. Just too shameful. I hate that i had to reply you in social media too. It's totally repugnant for me to address this behavior in public.

Well said. These clowns knows all these facts you have stated but because they have evil in their mind toward the airport project, there evil mind won't change. That explains why they have been doing everything possible on this thread. But unfortunately for them while they were here yapping and crying the actual work on the project was ongoing on site. cheesy
Again the clown kept mentioning the unviability of Birnin-Kebbi airport, Gusau airport, Gombe airport and the likes as their reason why airports should not be built in even viable places!

Again, in 1982 when the President Shagari's administration wanted to build an airport in Onitsha despite knowing there was an airport in Enugu, it was purely based on economic reasons! Now Shagari did not mention building an airport in Birnin Kebbi because he knew it didn't make the same economic sense as a federal airport in Onitsha!

But the Nigerian tribal factor ensured the Onitsha airport was never built! Instead they used the funds to build airports in Makurdi and Yola! Again, i would expect those fake airport viability economists to come and tell me that if Onitsha airport had been built the same time as Markudi and Yola airports, it would have been unviable like the others.


We all know Anambra deserves an airport and we all know it will be one of the most viable in the country. So why throw that silly argument that Nigeria built unviable airports in Potiskum out of tribalism and it didn't work, so don't build airport in Anambra or Lagos where airports are indeed needed?

Also the silly argument that one airport is in Enugu which is 100 KM away would have made sense if the roads were maintained to the highest standards and the airport in Enugu equipped with the proper equipment to enable it function as a true international airport that can take any type of plane from anywhere in the world. After all the brouhaha of closure of the Enugu airport for one whole year, the FG still did not elongate the 3 KM runway by one inch, did not build a taxiway and did not install ILS Cat 2 Systems to enable it function as a true International airport. Yet, they have devoted N30 billion naira to install these facilities at Katsina airport! Which rarely receives even domestic flights!

It all goes to tell you that they are not sincere about their argument. It is merely a ploy to keep you down perpetually while citing bogus incoherent argument that does not match the reality on the ground.

See video of the marvelous expressway between Enugu and Anambra for those people pretending that an expressway of less than 100 KM exist between Enugu and Anambra. Those of you pretending that they didn't know that it takes more than 5 hours to drive from Enugu to Anambra on the so called "Federal Expressway!

This is a beautiful article dispensing hard facts. I've told several people in this thread that their airport obsession is driven by their "we sef get our own airport" vanity, and an airport is a white elephant project that will bleed tax-payer resources with no productive returns but they're dreaming that the airport will turn Anambra to Dubai and that somehow, our local businessmen will start using airfreight to transport their goods instead of containers in the sea ports. But applying logic is a waste of time when people can't see past their own vanity-driven pipe dreams. This airport like all other state airports will be handed over to FAAN to manage at massive annual losses. And all this for a state with a very tiny landmass that is already surrounded by airports on all sides. grin Obiano is a clown and his administration is a failure.
Why this airport pains you people so much is still a huge mystery! Even Ebonyi state with a small economy that is building a potentially bigger airport isn't receiving this type of useless envy from non-indigenes of Ebonyi state.

Now look at Anambra and compare its economic indices to other states in Nigeria. Bayelsa state built an airport to support its economy, yet you were not hysterical about it. Akwa Ibom also did! Just like Bauchi, Taraba, Yobe, Nasarawa! Even Delta state built a SECOND airport in Asaba simply because Anambra refused to support its economy with an airport!

Now we all know that Anambra indeed deserves an airport. Infact, it is among the top 5 states in Nigeria where experts had previously identified the need for an airport to support commercial activities and ease of doing business. If Nigeria were not such as anomalous place, the Federal Government would have completed the Anambra airport that Alh. Shehu Shagari identified as a critical national infrastructure in 1982!


Again, people from Enugu are first to claim that Anambra airport would diminish the importance of Akanu Ibiam international airport. This is purely nonsense and gross ignorance as 90% of the Onitsha business community still use Lagos airport for their trips to China. Also if you have lived abroad, you will know that airports don't operate like bus parks where every plane will go to London from nearby airport or go to New York from nearby airports. Enugu airport can focus on Asian cities and Asian airlines while Anambra airport focuses on European cities or European airlines or vice versa. It is exactly how Port harcourt airport flies to routes that are different from route flown through Enugu airport. There is a reason for that! Airports within drivable distances often focus on different niches so that people going to a specific geographical parts of the world will fly in or out through one airport.

The sad thing with the experience of Igbos in Nigeria is that we were held down for too long by telling us that an airport in Enugu will close down Lagos airport and all those nonsense that we have come to believe these falsehoods as fact. It is a shame when i see some people simply argue against Anambra airport because of the unfounded fear that the airport in their state will "close" or turned into a bus park if they allow an airport anywhere else in the southeast. One even said we should build one airport like America in New York and use it. I laughed so hard and told the girl that America has more than 50 airports of the size and capability of JFK. Yet it is only 1.5 times greater than Nigeria's population! Not t mention that within a space of between New Jersey, New York and Connecticut, there are 5 MEGA international airports to serve a population size less than Lagos! Not to mention Logan International in Boston that is within 30 minutes drive from Connecticut!
Yet, all the airports are doing fine because some focus on Canada and Caribbean flights, some focus on Europe, Some Focus on Asia and Africa, etc. The village mentality that if development spreads, then my area will not be developed is how Nigeria has kept itself undeveloped by refusing to develop certain parts of the country. You guys should know that the Nigerian state's ideology is a sick man's ideology and stop brining it into Igboland.

With a fair and balanced political-economy, a level playing field and the absence of bad-belle towards Ndigbo (all of which are the elephant in the room some of us naively tend to overlook), all what you suggest would be possible! But with things as they stand in Nigeria today, we have to thread carefully so as not to alarm certain people or quarters with our never-say-never/can-do spirit!

You think the present occupants of Aso Rock and their southern supporters would allow what you suggest? The little one happening now with the airport Anambra is building, they’re biting their lip in frustration, and this can be seen in how Buhari and Hadi-Sirika have contributed nothing by way of funding or even bothered visiting to see the progress of work on site! Meanwhile, they’re budgeting 30 billion naira for a near-dead Katsina airport!
Many times our youths don't understand what has truly held them down.
Those Abuja manipulators cash-in on the youths lack of understanding of the abominable document called the 1999 constitution, and its long exclusive list items to continue the frustration of infrastructural development and encourage the youths to blame the state governments. Knowing the state governments were indeed powerless to do anything under the fraud called 1999 constitution.

If the Anambra airport had not been approved under a benevolent Umaru Yar'Adua, the present set of malignant manipulators in Abuja today will never allow an airport to be built in any viable part of Igboland. They will refuse to approve an airport in Aba, but will quickly approve it if you say you will build it in Arochukwu or Afikpo because in their mind, they think it will be a waste or at least cannot rival their own big airports serving their established commercial centers.

Right now, they will have a panel secretly plotting how to throw obstacles to prevent the airport from either being completed or becoming functional. By making a long list of financially unreasonable demands. They tried so much to kill Enugu airport as an international gateway to the Southeast. They hoped this airport would never be built. Now, their eyes are firmly set on how to frustrate and kill it. What they have failed to realize is that they are not God and these types of wickedness to keep a whole race of people down forever makes the idea called "one Nigeria" totally out of the question for many Nigerians today. However, I don't expect them to change any of their typical behavior and usual tactics, because they are simply implementing their agenda of total domination and subjugation of southern Nigeria which they will not deviate from.

DSS Arrests Northern Group Leaders Over Plans To Issue Quit Notice To Other Nationalities

The Chairman, Board of Trustee (BoT), Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG), Nastura Ashir Shariff, and the National Coordinator of the group, Balarabe Rufai, have been arrested by operatives of the Department of State Services.

It was alleged that the CNG leaders had planned to hold a press conference and discuss how to issue quit notices to certain ethnic nationalities in the North.

Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG)

The coalition spokesman, Abdul-Azeez Suleiman and the Director, Aminu Adams, told journalists that the duo were picked up on the road on their way from NAF Club in Kaduna, the venue of a botched press conference on the “security challenges” in the country.

A statement issued by the coalition on Friday read, “We are still working to establish connection with them or trace where they were taken to. Both their phone lines have been unreachable for the past two hours.

“It may not be unconnected with a planned press briefing by the CNG at the NAF Club, Kaduna which security agents had prevented from holding.

“The Kaduna DSS director had called us earlier today and tried to threaten us against going ahead with the briefing. We stood our ground and insisted on our right to freedom of association and expression.

“A few minutes afterwards, we were called from the NAF Club and informed that they were ordered from above to refuse us the use of the hall.

“We then went to tell the pressmen who were already gathered at the venue about the development and asked them to disperse since the briefing had been suspended.

“As we left the NAF Club and were driving along adjacent Nagogo road, a hooded Peugeot car blocked the lead car which was conveying the two officials and ordered them into the Peugeot and sped off.

“Journalists had to wait at a new hideout around Katsina Road, in an isolated building. It was while there that they were told that the organisers of the press conference had been picked up by suspected security personnel.”

Adams alleged that the duo must have been to Abuja, as they could not be found at Kaduna police command headquarters and other places visited in search of the arrested leaders.

The botched action of the northern groups may have been influenced by the recent campaign against Fulani herdsmen, who have been blamed for many of the killing and kidnapping cases in the South.

For instance, Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, recently gave herdsmen in his state seven days to leave government-owned forest reserves because of the criminal activities allegedly perpetrated there by people masquerading as Fulani herdsmen.

An Oduduwa Republic agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, also gave Fulani herdsmen seven days to leave Ibarapa area in Oyo State.

This week, some Edo State youths also gave Fulani youths 14 days to leave the state, saying their “people can no longer travel” because of fear of being killed or kidnapped by Fulani kidnappers.

Arrest who??

Abeg let them issue their quit notice! Southerners will similarly ask northerners to leave!
All these silly threats will not change the irreducible minimum that murderous herdsmen MUST vacate our farms and forests! PERIOD!

If they like, then we will issue the quit notice to northerners in our cities when they issue quit notice to southerners in their cities.

I don't know why they cannot simply condemn the practice of herdsmen camping in the forest and killing southerners. Let them bring this sham called kontry down because they actually sent the herdsmen to kill southerners and take their farms!

Yeye dey smell.

Those saying the terminal building is small, don't know what they are saying. This airport's terminal building is already bigger than the Banjul International airport terminal. If the place is efficient, in processing arrivals and departures, it will never be crowded. One huge mistake i hope they will also avoid is placing the car park too close to the terminal building like at the Enugu Intl. airport.

I hate many Nigerian airports because as soon as you exit the terminal building, you are already on the airport VIP route, so close to the public car park with mad drivers blaring horns and harassing the new arrivals with their cars. It always makes Nigeria look like the land of mad people to a new visitor Nigeria from sane countries.

I noticed Asaba airport was an exception to this rule of car parks placed so close to the terminal building. In Asaba, they placed their car park a little distance from the terminal and blocked the VIP car route so that taxis are forced to park in the car park at all times, not along the VIP airport route as in many Nigerian airports.


Again, I really enjoyed a trip to Banjul, Gambia. This airport terminal was small but decent and efficient. Most importantly, one great ambiance in Banjul is that once you exit their terminal building, you walk about 75 meters of well manicured flower walkway before you get to the VIP car route. Then walk about 100 meters to the car park! Nairobi airport also has a similar distance to the public car park. This distance of the terminal building from the public car park makes the terminal calm with a unique tranquility even when there is maddening blaring of horns and chaos of a typical African airport car park. I hope that this is considered in how close the car park is placed to the terminal building at Anambra International airport.

Even if Igbo investment in Futa Jalon is 45 quintillion? It will never make the people to accept enslavement in Nigeria.

The joke is on those playing those cards as their justification why Igbo should accept subjugation and marginalization in Nigeria. They are totally mistaken.

I can only imagine how much land along this access road costs now!

Please Government should ensure the land is reserved for 5 star hotels, shopping malls, amusement parks and other tourist entertainment that will help boost other facilities around the airport.

There should be NO market or eyesore type of building along that brand new road.
Exactly! I am sure the state physical planning board will map out the specific types of buildings that will be allowed along that access road. It will be the first impression a visitor landing in the state will have. So every effort must be made to make every building along that main access road to be of the highest international standard.

I heard Air Peace will build its own maintenance hangar at the airport. I think they should be allowed some space at the end of the runway to begin foundation for their maintenance hangar if they are still interested.

Obiano is undoubtedly one of the best governors in Nigeria today! Even the states with huge allocations in Nigeria or even so called federal government airports do not construct projects of such world class quality!

PoliticsRe: Update on developments in Anambra state-photos by ChimaAdeoye:
Gov. Wille Obiano is truly a magician!!! How did he get the money for such world class project?
Obiano is finally bequeathing Anambra with one the best airports in West Africa!

Everything from the access roads, Main Airport gate, runway, taxiway, car parks, fire stations, Emergency medical clinics, 2 level terminal building, Water supply station, mini power station was well thought out!!! With more space for future expansion and development!


The official airport January 2021 Status Update video released by the state government! O'lboy, this is indeed a massive project. Everything is done at the best international standard!!!

Anambra finally has a true international airport to facilitate trade and commerce without depending on the whims and caprices of others!
I am hoping the begin planting trees, flowers and grass now around areas that no further construction is needed. Also they need beautiful trees and flowers along the main airport road all the way to the parking lots to give it the best ambiance possible!

If all Fulanis are not criminals, Then tell Buhari to arrest those kidnaping, killing and r@ping women! That way it will be easy to identify the criminals!

The nepotistic attitude of Buhari to secretly arm Fulanis to commit heinous crimes against other tribes without being jailed for the crimes, and to forcefully annex peoples farms and villages will DEFINITELY lead to a serious issue. Before Buhari will understand that a true leader must punish even his own son who breaks the law.

Someone should beg our big men and people to wear face mask!

All these great projects will automatically fail if one of the key facilitators succumb to covid-19. God forbid if Senator Ifeanyi Uba catches Covid? His weight (BMI) and probably existing metabolic diseases will make it very difficult for him to survive the virus. So why risk your life so carelessly walking around in a crowd without wearing face mask?

Biko my people let us not be like Trump that kept refusing to wear mask until he caught the virus! Good thing he was the president then and got state of the art treatment worth billions of dollars, that isn't afforded to ordinary people.

Biko, lets take this mask thing seriously and protect our lives and the lives of others.

Biko, without diminishing the outstanding achievements of Obiano, let us also give due credit to Mr Peter Obi for what he also did. This is the state of the buildings you claimed were built by Obiano! These pictures were posted in 2014! In your own thread! So it means Obiano must have been wearing Peter Obi's face and also pretend to have "Adaobi's voice in 2014 abi?

There is nothing wrong in acknowledging that Obiano did very well, just as Peter Obi did well too. I believe we are interested in the progress of Anambra and most of us here were not born yesterday to accept white lies! It shouldn't always be either me or nothing. I can post earlier threads for you to refresh your memory, but that is not necessary. Go thru your own thread from 2014 - 2015 and see why you shouldn't indulge in such pettiness.

Biko nu!

Are those pictures of the new Awka markets?
No, just a picture of markets in Nigeria that i saw online. My point is that we should try and improve our standard a little in Nigeria.
Instead of building the same substandard things over and over. I posted that picture because for the first time, i saw a Nigerian market making space for parking lot and setting space aside for banks, restaurants and other entertainment to come and develop that section. Although the scale was small, but we have to stop building markets like a bunch of lockup shops lined up without any space for facilities, relaxation or even parking.

Biko post the Onitsha stockfish market here OR hush when important issues are being discussed. You probably haven't even been to Onitsha in the last 40 years, but you will like to post rubbish just for the sake of saying something.

I know you have never been to the new building materials market Ogidi, nor have you been to the new shoe market at Nkwelle Ezunaka. Even the new "Abada" market at the foot of the Niger bridge. Among all these "new markets", none is more beautiful or better planned than the electronics market built in the 1990s! Your type will be thinking of one slum market in LAGOS as the standard. Since all the slums in Lagos are your standard for development without knowing Lagos itself is a slum. You should copy other open markets in other decent developing countries NOT LAGOS!

The point being, we want this new market to truly stand out as an ultra modern space comparable to such anywhere in the world! Not just building another market for the sake of it without car parks, areas for restaurants, banks, entertainment and other facilities. This is an opportunity to build the BIGGEST tourist attraction in Anambra state if it is done right and to world standard NOT LAGOS standard as our people are fixated on Lagos style markets.

Proposed N47b international market will transform Anambra economic profile - Obiano

The Anambra State Government says it has concluded plans with Anambra JC Michaels Nigerial Limited under a Public Private Partnership arrangement to build State of the Act Ultra Modern International Market.

The Ultra Modern International Market with 10,000 shops capacity estimated to cost about N47B (Forty Seven Billion Naira) and occupying a land space of about 20.8 hectres at Isiagu, Awka-South Local Government Area.

Speaking during the inspection of the project site to monitor the extent of work, the state Governor, Chief (Dr.) Willie Obiano described it as a market of tomorrow capable of further improve the commercial profile and strengthen the economy of the State.

He said the market on completion would be first of its kind in Sub-Sahara Africa with prospensity to have modern facilities like internet connectivity, access roads, hospitals, schools, banks, flyovers and basement.

Obiano, who was represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Solo Chukwulobelu and the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Chief Primus Odili stated that locating the market away from Awka was strategic to decongest the Awka Town and ease traffic.

He assured that the State Government would play her role by putting access roads to the project site, adding that with the presence of a financier, the market would be completed at due time.

Earlier in his welcome speech, the Chairman, Anambra JC Michael Nigeria Limited, Chief Jude Amuzie explained that the Ultra Modern Market, was designed to provide unique features in making market transactions easier and faster under conducive atmosphere.

He disclosed that the market structure would be completed in phases, explaining that 17 buildings with 120 lock-up shops on each building (total of 2040 shops) would be ready for use by April, 2021.

Amuzie praised the Governor of the State, Chief Obiano for reposing confidence on Anambra JC Michaels and assured that State Government dream for better economic prospect for the State through modern market would be actualized.

He appealed to the State Government to assist the project by providing access roads, pointing out that this would ease movement of machines and equipments to the site.

Mr. Anayo Nwosu, who spoke on behalf of the management of Keystone Bank Plc (The Financier) descried the Ultra Modern Market as the gateway to other projects that would promote the economic prospects of Anambra State and assured that the Bank is committed to the project.

Mr. Nwosu therefore called for patronage from all citizens, investors and business communities from the zone.

The Traditional Ruler of Isiagu, HRH Igwe Augustine Nwankwo expressed joy that the project had started and assured of his community support for the progress of the project.

Igwe Nwankwo commended the Governor for sighting the project in the town and stated that Isiagu would continue to support the State Government and APGA for recognizing the community.

Also in attendance were the Hon. Commissioner for Commerce, Uche Okafor, his counterpart in Housing, Arch Michael Okonkwo and Rev. Okwosa of the Anambra Capital Development Authority (ACDA) among others.
This is an excellent news!!!

Since Onitsha main market was built in the 1950s no new market of that size had ever been built again in Anambra. So, this is a very welcome development if they make it to be truly modern in design and construction....not just adding the word "ultra modern" to it.

My plea is that they apply good modern design so that the final product will be both aesthetically appealing, conducive for business as well as tourism. The design in the picture below is so far the best open market design i have seen recently in Nigeria and it should be emulated and improved upon.
