New Enugu Secretariat. Can they give this project a befitting finishing touches.
Sadly, its going to be yet another Green- White - Green building in Nigeria.

I wish they were a little more creative in choosing the exterior color as they did choosing the building style and shape.

Please do me a favor; go and take your medication and stop asking me yeye questions. What you quoted was a clear statement.
Peter Obi was already a very wealthy man before contesting for Anambra governor. Infact, that is part of the reason he didn't need godfathers like Ngige to finance his election campaign.
I wish Peter will succeed more in his private endeavors so that jealousy will kill these church rats.

Anyhow, provide proof that Peter stole from the state to fund his private business or STFU!

vanbonattel,

To begin with, you are from Imo state and not Anambra. To come to another people's state thread and post false pictures is the height of disrespect that makes people like Chino to try and rubbish the Imo thread.

Are you referring to the same hospital whose pictures and video is all over the internet? What is your mission?
Peter Obi was the only governor that understood the importance of good health and built a modern accredited teaching hospital in Anambra and that has been well documented.

Anyhow, you should post pictures that show Obi lied or failed to do projects that he had said he would. Getting outdated pictures just doesn't fool anyone. Except of course people like Freeglobe looking for just anything to hold on to as a reason for hating Obi. While his grudge is that Obi blocked Ngige his elder brother from bringing an Islamic party to rule Anambra.

OkijaAmaka:
Praising Obi is not all about uploading mouthwatering pictures, its all about having a functional system in place.
You dnt expect us to go uploading Anambra educational achievements, there are many things that Obi achieved in Anambra that pictures cannot capture.
Development and growth are not about stadia, conference centers and airports, development should be all emcompassing a scale of preference should not be ignored.
Anambra need more goods roads than she need a staduim, need a seaport than an airport, Anambra need more functioning and revitalized educational and health sector than an well decorated roundabout with water fountains.

We need more solid works in Anambra, we need out society to be sanitized of miscreants and street urchin, we need more economically viable state than a well crafted state with paupers and families living in less than 1$ a day.
Truth is that Peter Obi has no comparison in Anambra's litany of common criminals and crooks who posed as her military or civilian governors for many many wasted decades.

Before Peter Obi, i had seen how public hospitals and state institutions looked like in Anambra and the people didn't even seem to care. Anambra didn't even have a secretariat for her workers nor even a government house talk-more of good roads traversing the entire state grin

Without denying that there is still a lot to do in bringing Anambra into its deserved place as a developed state.
Like the biblical Moses, Peter Obi retrieved Anambra from these thieves and criminals masquerading as politicians and their so called godfathers that swore Anambra was their personal trophy to be looted and confined into the dungeon of a failed state.
After his constitutional term, Peter Obi has handed over to a "Joshua" who should continue the journey to the promised land.Peter Obi was not perfect, like failing to ban Okada, failing to modernize Onitsha,Nnewi and Awka, his recent dumping of APGA . But his efforts to reposition the state more than compensate for his mistakes.


Those still lamenting that Obi denied them of the opportunity to continue looting Anambra as they did before he became governor should find a wet transformer and do the needful.

I agree that Nigerian governments (at all levels) should imbibe the spirit of maintenance culture.

But those American roads (inter-state freeways) built during the 1950s by President Eisenhower, need upgrading and the additional of High Speed Rail.
In fact, the American Society of Engineers estimates that the US needs $2 trillion to bring her infrastructure up to the standard of Western Europe, SE Asia, and the Middle East.
Absolutely bro. American infrastructure need serious upgrading.

Actually, my focus was on their great culture of maintenance. Once they tar a road, even if it is a street, as soon as pot holes appear, they will quickly patch them up so that the street does not break down to the point that they need to award a complete rebuilding of the entire street at a cost similar to what it would cost to tar brand new streets.

That is what i see in Sullivan's approach. He builds what he can afford to the highest quality, and more importantly maintain them so that the achievements are not lost.

It is quite shameful how people are termed of having poor analytical skills because they said the bare truth.For quite sometime now,i have been around,going through peoples' comment on this thread,and i have noticed that we dont tell ourselves the truth.is it now a crime to give a constructive criticism.,or should we keep mute when things are not going as it ought to? So that we wont be labelled enemies of the state.i have no problem with anybody but i feel that the energy and resource used in shouting to the whole world about on-going works can be channeled to doing actually the main works.For crying out loud, peter Obi didnt use propaganda.the works he did,spoke for him.the day i lost hope was when i went to Ifite awka,if u are approaching unizik,there are pot holes there,and then beside that terrible spot on the road,i saw an inscription, 'willie is working'.i thought that the road will be remedied but up till now,it is still in shamble,why then is the essence of the inscription while no work is on going there.
There is absolutely nothing wrong in giving constructive criticism. Infact it is a good thing, so long as you are making a valid point. However, comparing apples and oranges expose your ignorance of the topic and indeed your poor grasp of the issues being considered.

Threatening to leave Anambra thread because you compared Akwa Ibom's achievements with average of N490 billion every year against Anambra average of N90 billion every year and found that Akwa Ibom achieved more than Anambra, shows you are either deliberately being mischievous or you have very poor analytic thinking.

Breezing down O'connor road. ....
While on visit to the USA, when Americans asked me the difference between Nigeria and America infrastructure wise, they are surprised when i say NONE!
Because everything in America was in Nigeria at some time, but had collapsed. America builds her infrastructure just once, then continues to maintain and upgrade it. Nigeria will build her infrastructure, then allow it to collapse and then starts re-building the same thing from the scratch again! Imagine the billions of dollars used to rehabilitate roads as Enugu-PH roads because they were neglected to completely collapse and then had to be re-done from the scratch.So we are stuck in rebuilding roads which were already built in the 1960s and 1970s without aggressively adding new ones or massively upgrading the roads with more lanes and flyovers to make commute easier.In comparison, the roads the Americans built in 1960 is still being used and maintained,while many of such roads have already been upgraded into expressways with flyovers to make connection with other roads easier.

Thus, I am glad that maintenance culture is top notch in Enugu. The road gutters, roadmarks and street signs,the street lights and traffic lights are constantly being maintained to serve their functions. True to God, Enugu Akwulogo!!!
God bless Sullivan Chime for having such great vision which is uncommon among political leaders in Nigeria.

........but that ugly road median again! We need to do something about planting aesthetic trees and flowers in our road medians or simply cover the median with concrete if we don't have time for flowers or we think flowers may not thrive on such roads. Leaving them unsightly with over grown bush does not speak well of the new functional world class city Enugu is fast becoming.

I understand what u mean and even as am typing presently, am not happy with the situation of things on ground. I know why people criticize Anambra A lot is because they (many people) expect to see us ahead of others and we are not even close.

We have great Human potentials that no other state have,but we don't know how to put them to use. Our biggest problem since the creation of Anambra State is the mentality that money controls everything. So everybody want to be like IBETO,INNOSON,JEHUL,SEPLAT,COSHARIES, and so many others that I cannot mention. This wicked mentality cause so many people to go into kidnapping,Arm robbery and so many dubious means just to get money.

The names ^^^ that would have being an added advantage to us then,instead it was a problem. Imagine the Oba Airport that was frustrated by Business men/Traders,this airport would have added value to this great state. We can put this great men ^^^ to use and they will help us to develop our state.

Lastly what will u achieve by un-following the thread, nothing my brother. I will stand with this thread until we get to our destination,God willing there will be change in Anambra.

Please Chino and other people that are close to Government should tell them to focus on a particular project,complete them before heading to another. Look @ the three malls being built simultaneously,while you can concentrate on 1 complete it, then go to the next one. Also please don't compare Anambra with Akwa-Ibom,you can only compare them when we have gotten it right in some years time.
Bros,
Some of our so called businessmen have actually been the problem with the state. Not business men like IBETO or INNOSON, but people like Chris Ubah, Andy Ubah, Ifeanyi Ubah, Okey Odunze and to an extent, Emeka Offor. Because our guys lack proper education,they are crude and raw in their methods and end up hurting the entire state over silly political squabbles.

BTW,
I believe you should allow that man to do the needful and unfollow the thread. It will be better for the discussion here.If major contributors as Tabletman,3Dankey, ilovenigeria,inyinyaagbaoku,schematics or FK081 un-follow the thread,then it is truly a loss to the thread.
Anambra's developmental challenges are a little complicated and requires a clear analytical mind to discern. So simplistic, magical thinkers like the dude that will simply look at Akwa Ibom and want the magic replicated in Anambra without consideration for the funding part need to unfollow the thread as he desired.

When a man begins to compare Akwa Ibom with the highest federal allocation and even greater IGR to Anambra, which is amongst the poorest 10 states and low IGR, then the man does not have a good analytic skill. His focus should be how to raise the IGR to enable funds for developmental projects.

This seems very elementary but it is good to say it for those like that guy. All states in Nigeria are not receiving an equal amount from the federation account.There are about 7-9 states which each receive allocation bigger than what is allocated to the entire south east states!

b1327:
tax that you pay and some so call leader we embezzle it, is that how they do in civilized societies. And do u know there is something call tax return in the civilized society you mention every first month in a every year all tax payer receive certain persentage from the tax they pay the previous year(the biger your tax the biger your tax return) can our leaders do like that the ans is no. Am not say people should not pay tax because all civil and public servant government do deduct tax from there salary before the money goes to each person bank account.
[b]If our people pay their taxes, they will begin to hold bad leaders who embezzle government funds responsible. Which is what it should be. The possibility of corruption is not a reason for you to refuse paying your tax.

Abroad, people may opt to pay even more than their stipulated tax so that at the end of the year, they can file their taxes papers and show the government that they paid more tax than required and therefore get the difference back. A typical person abroad that makes $2,000 dollars a month will pay about $600 dollars in taxes from that amount.A person in Nigeria earning $2,000 dollars does not pay up to $20 dollars in taxes!

Igbo businessmen in Lagos, Kano and other places gladly pay taxes to the host state governments,but will resist paying taxes when they are in Igboland, especially in ONITSHA? The problem with Nigeria and we Igbo is that we want to make all the money, hide it away from the government so that we will pay zero taxes especially when operating in Igboland. Imagine that an elementary school teacher in Anambra pays more taxes than the owner of GUO transport company! What type of nonsense system will allow such anomaly?

tochukwuifeduba:
Economic activities comes to devastating standstill in Anambra state today as Fuel price tripled to ¥250 naira per litre( black market) from ¥97 naira. All fuel stations remains under key in protest over imposition of high Tax rate by the Governor Mr Obiano.
It is not new taxes!
These have been the normal taxes that the gas stations simply refused to pay.
Yet,they want manner from heaven in terms of good roads and other infrastructure. I think the government should make sure these crooked dealers aren't allowed to create artificial scarcity and exploit the people more by selling fuel in the mid-night at above pump prices.

Our people should learn to pay taxes to the government and then demand better infrastructure in return. That is how it works in civilized societies.
PoliticsRe: APC Plans To Turn Nigeria Into An Islamic State by cjrane: 7:33pm On Oct 23, 2014
bombay:
An Islamic cleric and a group under the aegis of Religious Equity Promotion Council… (REPC) have accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of championing an Islamic agenda in Nigeria just like the Egypt Muslim Brotherhood.

The group said Nigeria is a secular nation, alleging that the plan of the APC was to cause religious crisis in the country and they believe that the Christians in Nigeria are second class citizens.

What the APC wants to do is to cause the dislocation of the harmonious existence of Nigeria.
So sad, but true.

APC and Nigerian Muslims often want to dare and bite more than they can chew. They must be mistaking Nigeria for Saudi Arabia or Egypt. Just like their Islamic fanatical counterparts in Central Africa Republic attempted with that country and provoked a backlash from the Christians there.
I wish APC luck in their plans for an Islamic state in Nigeria.

If Anambra can mix Industrialization with tourism together, that will place us above any other state in Nigeria. Look @ calabar now as the home of Tourism in Nigeria and lagos as the home of Industries in Nigeria for now. Let's imagine that you have a state that have the both in abundance.

Onitsha mall was recently advertised to prospective investors in Lagos (I read it in 1 of d tabloids
),one major concern that was raised by the investors is the level of security in Onitsha. The government officials have to convince them that Onitsha is now safe,just imagine the number of investors that this criminals have chased away from Anambra.
