Odinceblog1: Anambra Billionaire Builds World Standard Library In Buhari’s Village (Photos)
Sir Emeka Offor was in Kastina state to inspect the ongoing world standard renovation and refurbishing of Waziri Alhassan Public Library in Daura, Kastina state, Muhammadu Buhari’s hometown.
In the company of the Kafanchan born, Orifite indigene was the Governor of Kastina State, Aminu Bello Masari who was beaming with a smile, with some of his aides.
According to reports, the renovation, furnishing and computerizing of the library came courtesy of Sir Emeka Offor Foundation (SEOF) as part of its educational intervention in Africa.
However, some Igbo youths who heard the news expressed their displeasure, with many of them saying that charity must begin at home.
One commentator who wouldn’t like to be mentioned insinuated that the library won’t be appreciated by the people, he said” I’m not saying that it’s bad to seek the betterment of mankind but charity begins at home. Plus every community has its own particular need, a veterinary hospital in Daura would have served your purpose. A library might infuriate the cow community and cost you more. To think that your name is Emeka is infuriating.”
Agbai said,” Please confirm whether we have a standard library in Anambra or anywhere in southeast”
Elder Fidelis was of the Opinion that Sir Emeka did it for his own selfish reasons, he said,” They are all serving their own personal interest. what will a library do for the people of Daura? Instead of Library, he could have opened a factory where shoe polish is manufactured”
Nnaemeka linked Sir Emeka Offor’s library to EEDC, he said” He is holding tightly to his EEDC so he can now blatantly deal with eastern people anyhow he likes on the issue of power supply and no-one will complain cos he has bought the presidency. That’s how Nigeria works. EEDC is the worst disco in Nigeria, so I’m not surprised.”
Our efforts to reach out to Sir Emeka Offor to get his comment on the issue proved abortive as at the time of writing this report.
Sir Emeka is the chairman, Board of Directors, Enugu Electricity Distribution Company, EEDC. He was born in Kafanchan, Kaduna State.
The so called philanthropic gesture is actually a bribe to Buhari. As usual, Emeka Offor might have succeeded. No electricity reform or take over of the DISCOS proposed by Fashola will ever be approved by Buhari.
Everyone knows the EEDC has been penciled as one of the poorly performing DISCOS that Buhari wants to replace through another bidding process.
Emeka Offor is merely trying to buy the Buhari regime by building him a library in his hometown. If Emeka Offor wanted to be philanthropic, he could have built his library in Katsina city where more people in the state will utilize it.
Another appeal i would like to make to Anambra State Government is to consider greening of Onitsha.
The era when our people totally did not see anything beautiful with trees and flowers on our streets and roads should begin to be reversed. I can say Onitsha and Nnewi are most seriously affected by this phenomena.Awka is also gradually losing any potential to become a green city.
Apart from helping to purify the air which we desperately need in our major cities, we will be beautifying the environment and making it more conducive for habitation
Can we seriously begin to send out those ARMA boys to go into our major cities and not just patch potholes, but also plant aesthetic trees along the roads?

ANSMEDIA: Well done for the continued investment in health sector
This is an excellent upgrade that will extend quality healthcare to Aguleri & residents living in the northern part of the state.
Hopefully, the same standard of finishing, tarred parking lots, landscaping with trees and flowers will be implemented at the Onitsha General Hospital upgrade to a Specialist hospital. That hospital holds the single key to revolutionizing healthcare delivery in the state by virtue of being situated in the largest city in Anambra state. If we can somehow get that hospital to operate at the level of medical specialties in a teaching hospital and equipped with all the proper medical equipment, modern laboratory for accurate diagnosis and large well stocked pharmacy, then we have made a huge impact on the healthcare of Anambra state.
Ofcourse, it will be naive to expect that a government run hospital will be efficient and effective in healthcare delivery. Perhaps, the first step to sustainability is to find a private sector partner to run the Onitsha General Hospital profitably and be able to maintain it as a tertiary referral center in the state.

If IBB had not annulled June 12 election, he would have been the greatest Nigerian President ever!
It has been confirmed from reliable sources that the Fulani plot to permanently close down the Akanu Ibiam International airport Enugu under pretext of "fixing" one thing or another has advanced into implementation stage. Recall that the same people less than two months ago demanded the removal of a radio mast and closure of Orie Emene market as condition for them not to close the airport. These conditions were swiftly implemented by the state government.Which they public acknowledged the state government and said the closure of the airport was no longer on their "to do" list. But, those commendable actions by the state government turned out they merely delayed but did not persuade the Fulani regime we are suffering under from relenting in their effort to find a reason to permanently shut down the only International airport in Southeast region of the country.
Every appeal to temporarily upgrade Sam Mbakwe International Airport Owerri to take diverted Enugu international flights for the convenience of the southeast passengers have fallen on deaf ears.Recall that when Abuja airport was closed for about 3 months two years ago, Kaduna airport was temporarily upgraded to take Abuja diverted flight for the convenience of the passengers.
Today, Hadi Sirika sent his hit squad to Government House Enugu to inform the Governor about their decision to close down the airport and again rob the southeast region of any international airport within the zone. We appeal to our good citizens and leaders of thought to remain vigilant as we observe their plot and strategy to economical strangle southeast zone.
Basher8583: Lol Better pray they dont because they go pursue all your industrial brothers in the north back home and take over all thier businesses and houses since they are not as smart as Northerners who don't keep fancy properties in a host community.
Remember the last time, it was 911 truck used to bundle them and the little property they can muster back to Onitsha
Lol.... aboki and empty boasting Easier said than done. Why don't you go and pursue the industrial brothers and see if you will be alive to tell the tale?
Jetrue3oo: OK more sales for chicken thunder fire their father.
But come ooo am a vegetarian wetin concern me with cow meat.
Wetin concern agbero with overload
Those that advocate depending on Fulani cows while they rape pillage, kidnap villagers should understand that there is no end to their evil designs for the people.
The earlier these wicked people are addressed, the better for everyone.
Meanwhile, the kidnapping and random shooting of travelers in the SE by Fulani herders MUST stop or we shall defend ourselves against them.
I think something should be done about truck drivers that never maintain their trucks, park it all over the streets and the trucks always emit plumes of dangerous black smoke.
Onitsha is a key city in Nigeria, undoubtedly the biggest Southeast city today. Anambra State Government should please enforce environmental laws to make the place safe for the teeming population of the city.
The Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano inspects an Ongoing 5.7Km Internal Road networks in Shenahan University, Onitsha.
The Governor is accompanied by His Chief of Staff, Mr. Primus Odili, the Chief Press Secretary, Mr. James Eze, the Commissioner for Works, Hon. Engr. Marcel Ivejiofor, Traditional Rulers of Umumbo and Owele Communities respectively.
You meant Bishop Joseph Shanahan. The first Bishop of Onitsha.
delpee: This is a well bred cow indeed! We need more of such farms or ranches in every state.
They are bred in private ranches by people who are not interested in destroying people's farms and killing them to take their land by force.
It is a shame what Fulanis have turned cattle rearing into a business for shedding blood of innocent Nigerians to take their land by force using the smokescreen of their silly RUGA Fulani settlement.
It is time for Nigerians to wake up and pay Fulanis back in deaths for any Nigerian killed by Fulanis
The so called Ruga will not work. Buhari is living an illusion that he will deploy troops and arm fulani militias to forcefully occupy other peoples territory forever. Even if Buhari takes peoples land by force and gives to his Fulani people.
The indigenes of the place should wait for the Fulanis to build their settlement. Then go there on quiet night with Molotov cocktail.
The next move is that Fulani troops will launch one military operation or another in states where they want to forcefully annex their lands and give to Fulanis.
In the end, the people will still expel Fulanis from their forcefully taken land. Even if it takes years to happen. That is a certainty. Not to mention that those fulanis living in annexed territories in the south can never have peace for one minute until their final expulsion by the people.
Juliusmalema: Globemoney don't allow this Niger delta man contaminate your post with his forever criticism of any single project in Igboland ....He is a spy from ijawland, rivers state.
No day passes without him having to talk one trash instead of making his submission straight .
There are many things to criticize in your state, Xander85,.
leave Obiano and face Wike...
This boy, You are not an indigene of my state. Yet, you are the first to ask people to leave?
You need to have your head checked. No Anambra person in this forum is fooled by your childish pranks and the fact that you are either or deomello here to create havoc. We know how you jobless yahoo boys change monikers everyday to claim one state or another. The worst part is that you people are obsessed with Igbo states! You cannot contain your agony that Igbos have continued to march on despite all your wickedness.
raker300: I’ll start posting pictures of villages in Anambra so pple here would understand Anambra did not start at Onitsha and end at Awka.
So many places require equal attention and should not be left abandoned.
Ekwulobia market area
Oga, This is not Ekwulobia. Please stop embarrassing yourself by downloading unverified image from skyscraper.com and claiming you took the picture. Some of us here are actually from there. Which market area? Behind the General hospital or motor park ? Just where in hell is this in Ekwulobia?
globemoney: The obsession of these Peter Obi boys over Obiano has now turned to madness. Their whole prayer is for Obiano to fail and become hated by Ndi Anambra and yet they are still the ones failing everytime. Tell me why a clown who has never stepped foot in Anambra for the past 6 plus years will tell us Obiano is failing if not madness. These fools were shouting Obiano failed in his first term, after they were disgraced after the election they are now narrowing it to second term. The funny part is Obiano is performing far better than their governors in delta, Ebonyi, Rivers, IMO etc and if Obiano does not do anything again in Anambra he has already performed better than their paymaster Peter Obi. It’s a pity that gullible ndi Anambra in the diaspora like pazienza are falling for their scam
Even though i agree there might be political undertones in everything. But personally, i am seriously beginning to doubt Obiano's unwavering commitment to the development of our state.Especially the three major cities in the state. I know a lot has been done on roads and bridges in Anambra north which i very much appreciate, but watching that video gave me an impression of a leader that is either out of touch with what his lieutenants are not doing or he just doesn't care anymore.
OreMI22: Fulani people are playing a high-stakes game.Don't be fooled by their trademark intrigues. Nobody said don't close and "fix" AIIA if they are sincere. We are even praying for them to do it as they have unnecessarily neglected every infrastructure in the SE region. We want them to set a runway reconstruction timetable period as they did for Abuja airport and other airports in Nigeria. They should also name a nearby airport closer to the Enugu destination as they insisted on Kaduna airport rather than Lagos airport to divert Abuja bound flights when they closed Abuja for repairs.
In the same spirit and manner which Hadi Sirika had persistently argued for the convenience of passengers to be taken into account when Kaduna airport was fixed before Abuja airport traffic was diverted there to allow for fixing of Abuja airport. The Federal Government should demonstrate sincerity and prepare Sam Mbakwe Intl airport Owerri or Asaba Intl airport to take diverted traffic from Enugu before the so called closure for "repairs'
Everyone knows the Fulani agenda aginst the Igbo in particular and Nigeria in general. So folks should not be surprised at their intrigues to close down Akanu Ibiam Intl. airport so that they can divert the traffic to Kano, Kaduna or Lagos.
Hear Hadi Sirika below making the case for diversion to Kaduna airport and NOT Lagos when Abuja airport is closed for repairs
It is clear that the current Federal regime is determined to find silly excuses to close the ONLY international airport in the entire Southeast region. Rather than fix it, this airport has been criminally abandoned by the regime and now, they are looking for who to blame and excuses to close it down rather than fix the superficial issues identified.
When people fuss about terminal building without first identifying the evil done against the runway and taxiway, it exposes their ignorance about the plot of the ministry of aviation against the aiirpot.
1. The AIIA airport is still the ONLY international airport in Nigeria that lacks completed taxiways to both ends of the runway. 2. Five issues had been identified that would affect the successful expansion of the airport and the future second runway proposed for the airport. These issues are labeled A,B,C,D and E in the satellite image below.
A: Illegal and now abandoned classroom built by Nigerian Airforce Enugu very close to the main runway
B: The settlement on the northeast aspect of the airport which will prevent a second runway project if it's not relocated.
C: The suddenly growing construction of new settlement on the northwest aspect of the airport, which will frustrate a second runway
D: A Duplex recently built by a powerful ex-military man well within the safety distance upon completion of Taxiway to Runway 08
E: Eke-Orie Market Emene believed to have abattoir that can cause bird strike for incoming plane.
The question is WHY the abattoir has been made such a sensational issue by Hadi Sirika, while cleverly neglecting the abandoned classroom built by the air-force very close to the main runway nor the growing settlements within the airport side of Ekulo river that will frustrate the second runway expansion project if they are not addressed? Who is the former military man that was allowed to build a duplex so close to the taxiway to runway 08? Why was the Eke-Orie market speedily demolished, but this duplex that is even closer to the airport left unscathed?
If the FG is sincere about fixing the identified issues including resurfacing of the Enugu runway with new drainage, why not come clear with a project timeline and also identify airport very close to Enugu which will be used temporarily to divert Enugu flights to minimize inconvenience of passengers as he vehemently argued for Kaduna airport and not Lagos or Kano international airports, during a similar runway resurfacing project for Abuja airport?
It is clear the the FG is criminally intent on neglecting the Akanu Ibiam International airport because it believes it is an airport for Igbos and not for the entire country. Apart from Enugu International being incomparable to other international airports in Kano, PH, Kaduna, Lagos and Abuja, it is incomprehensible that the same FG will build a brand new International airport complete with Taxiways and night landing facilities in New Bussa, Niger State just to service Kainji dam, but neglect a major international airport serving a whole sub-region of Nigeria.
Osagyefo98: Adeoye can't be from oba. u are descendants of awolowo..... moreover I have made my submission....
all others are trash.....
If i like i can answer Segun Odegbami. I'm just showing you silly lame yorubas that we can also answer your names and lash at you. I specifically joined Nairaland after i read some cruel anti-Igbo rant by your people arabisola or some eediotic character.
I always ask you silly yorubas that come here trying in vain to whip up anti-Anambra sentiment to look around you. YOU HAVE FAILED! The more your silly divide and rule tactics goes, the more you expose your sorry selves. A typical Anambra person is hardworking, respectful, jovial and a lover of Igbo unity. The more your silly epistles about how Anambra is better than Enugu or Imo or Abia exposes that you are yoruba who have bought into the silly nollywood farce of how boastful they assume Igbo traders are. In your narrow mind, you also assume all Igbo traders are "uneducated" individuals from Anambra, and finally all Anambra people are traders.
Your disastrous misunderstanding of who an Anambra person is and what motivates him, exposes who you truly are. Since your kind are typically jobless and roaming the streets of Lagos in bitterness against the Igbo, go and create extra 2,000 monikers to insult other Igbos to claim that you are from Anambra, it has failed and will continue to fail. Ndi ala!
Osagyefo98: I think u living on propaganda but i haven't travel along the road but I passed there few days ago...the umuoji road was tarred...very clean.
unless is another route u talking about.
I hate when you Yoruba people come here to join issues.
You are neither from Anambra nor are you from Oba. I am making an appeal for my hometown because i think Investnow or Auntlaviv or AnambraIstson may have connections within Anambra State Government to help my community, and instead of you to make appeal on Yoruba thread for Ogbomosho, you are disputing if i know my hometown. As if i didn't know there is a road built by Peter Obi from Ojoto to Umuoji. Is Ojoto now Oba? Or you don't even know they are different towns?
I don't have time to indulge with some of you guys making a fool of yourselves here. I am here to make a positive impact for my community and not measure anything with you non-Anambrarians coming here to insult other Igbos to make them hate us. So please stop quoting me!
investnow2013: THIS UNIVERSITY IS BEING SPONSORED BY THE CATHOLIC ARCHDIOCESE OF ONITSHA ANAMBRA STATE. THE BLESSING AND CUTTING OF LAND DONE FEW MINUTES AGO. THIS WILL BE A MASTERCLASS!
Excellent news!
i trust that this will be a world class higher institution of learning. Hopefully, they won't cut corners and build the high-rise class rooms according to the 3D specification.
AmericanQuarter: Update on Umunya-Awkuzu via Civic Center to express. We shall get a full coverage later as this picture didn't cover the big road properly.
There is a road from Merchants of Light, Oba that links Umuoji catholic church crossing the Idemili river. This road about a total of 6KM long was started and abandoned.
Can someone advocate for the road to be completed? This road will reduce by 90% the time to travel to Awka from Oba and boost immense economic activity in the state.
We are begging for this strategic economic road to be completed.
dreamwords: Afonja's have casted u.k, now they want to go and cast u.s, Afonja people with cone head
What Yoruba boys do in the USA today is simply shameful! They have indeed relocated from London to USA to tarnish the name of Nigerians in America.
You will again ask why aren't they simply called Yorubas instead of the elusive "Nigerians" used in this write up? If any other tribe did this, they are called by their tribal name and not "Nigerians"
