 Politics › Re: Anambra Commences N50bn Trade Centre Construction by cjrane: 1:22pm On Jul 10, 2014 |
The only problem I have had with subsequent Anambra governors is what can be rightly described as the 'Niger Delta Governors syndrome' . This is the habit if building fake or low quality projects even when they can afford high quality things. Apart from Godswill Akpabio and Donald Duke, a typical Anambra or Niger Delta governor will use N10 million naira to build a road or a project that requires N50 million. Then they would keep doing maintenance on the road for 200 times at N10 million per maintenance job. Eventually they will spend N2 billion naira. Where they could have spent just N50 million for the initial job. I am glad Obiano seem to have set aside enough budget for this project. One also hopes that it will be of international standard and not another unplanned open air market with no parking on conveniences. They should actually set aside areas of the project for eateries and relaxation areas for visitors and tourists. It will be diasterous to build another main market design in 2014. I wish the Anambra governors will imbibe the Godswill Akpabio spirit to build enduring well designed structures for posterity. |

All Nigerian army or Air Force need to chase Boko haram are attack helicopter gunships with night fighting equipment. They should therefore use body heat infra red googles to see where the Boko terrorists are hiding at night and smoke them out. Any other equipment such as tanks is a waste of resources because they cannot maneuver in the mountainous forest terrain where the Boko people hide after their murderous rampage. |

TabletMan: I don't have any issue with anyone... Onitsha water scheme is working before peter obi came on board. I have told you before that we are always on top in education and it has nothing to do with Peter obi. Do u even know that peter obi did not construct any road with standard road at onitsha and nnewi? Guy.... Peter obi is a fraud. I am sorry, if i am not on same page with you on obi's government.Nnaa, you are being deliberately deceitful. I typically hate talking about another state in a thread open for a different state. But, your comment is very dishonest and misleading. Comparing Anambra to Enugu is beyond deceitful. Unlike Anambra, Enugu has been lucky to have a litany of great decent rulers and it had been a regional capital for a long period. Governor Chimaroke Nnamani, who is arguably the worst Enugu governor so far, is better than the best Anambra had produced before Peter Obi. His legacy projects such as ESUT Teaching hospital and ESUT permanent site,The Nigerian law school,Enugu, The Enugu International Conference center, Rangers Avenue, Ebeano tunnel etc, still stand out even today. Never in the history of Nigeria was any Anambra city comparable to Enugu in terms of ambiance or infrastructure. The hope in 1991, was that Anambra people will use their God given talent and resources to develop Awka into a city to behold. That dream became a nightmare as the " New Anambra dream" was quickly hijacked by godfatherisms and shady, crude businessmen who interpreted Anambra politics as merely a conduit to access the state treasury in order to mindlessly loot it and become richer! From Authur Eze to Emeka Offor to Chris Ubah, Anambra's collective patrimony was serially molested by a litany of common criminals masquerading as godfathers cum politicians. The decent citizens of Anambra ran for their dear lives and abandoned the now totally failed state to these so called godfathers to loot as it pleased them. The schools collapsed, the little infrastructure it had inherited in 1991 caved in and vanished. It truly seemed like the story and the great hopes of the "New Anambra dream" was over for good. By divine providence, Chris Ngige fell out with his own godfather and Obasanjo! Then in his effort to win back the peoples' true support he began the task of developing Anambra again! Ngige made the error of concentrating solely on roads in a state where all the systems had failed. However, for attempting to make a difference, Ngige was loved and hailed by Anambra people. When he was ousted by the courts for Peter Obi, a lot of Anambra people held their breathe and wondered if the state will return to the dungeon days of lawlessness. Alas! Peter Obi proved to have the required dogged determination to resist the intrigues of the enemies of Anambra that simply wanted him to share the peoples' money amongst themselves. For his refusal to patronize these self-styled "gods" of Anambra politics, he was prematurely impeached. Again by divine providence, Peter Obi regained his position as governor and set out a true development plan he nicknamed "ANIDS" to revive the completely failed systems and infrastructure of Anambra. The Peter Obi factor was completely decisive. Overnight, Anambra moved from a blacksheep and laughing stock amongst the SE states to regain a leading position and respect. From being the only SE state without a university,a place where primary and secondary schools could be closed for one whole year, with no functional capital city, government house nor any tertiary state hospital, Anambra finally had secretariat for its workers, built a respectable state university,got it's teaching hospital approved and overhauled its entire educational system. of course building a virile viable state is not what can be accomplished in 8 or even 20 years. Suffice to say that Peter Obi made it possible for Anambra people to remember their "New Anambra dream" as to why that state was created in order to focus their talent and resources on the tasks necessary to make Anambra truly great. 3 Likes |

Your reasons could have been true if the collapse had not been specifically restricted to newer buildings still under construction. 99 percent of the buildings built in Onitsha from Woliwo, Fegge,Omaba etc happened after the civil war or atleast 40 years ago. They were mostly built without the so called "Professionals", but the cement and the iron rods were all good quality. Those buildings are still standing today. The present epidemic of collapse happen with NEW buildings done with NEW fake CEMENT and fake Iron rods presently in the market NOW! 9 Likes |

MOBJECTIVE: .....I'm so disappointed that we have yet another governor who thinks that flyovers makes for a world class city.I can't believe this MOBJECTIVE statement! I thought he was from Anambra? Nigerians never cease to amaze me when they open their mouths in matters they know next to nothing about! I can even try to understand if his statement was made for Abuja, PH or Lagos that largely function with basic infrastructure, NOT AWKA!!! So, Awka that has NOTHING and it's geographically disadvantaged by being perfectly bisected by the busy Enugu-Onitsha expressway, which has frustrated every real attempts to develop the New Capital territory located on the UNIZIK side of the expressway, because people are terrified to cross the extremely busy expressway by literally running or driving across fast oncoming vehicles from Enugu. Gov. Obiano identified this major obstacle to the city's development, which was also contained in the Habitat for Humanity masterplan for Awka city. Which stipulated at least 3 flyovers must be constructed at various points over the busy Enugu-Onitsha Expressway to link the old town to the New Capital territory on the opposite side of the expressway. A similar recommendation was also made for atleast 2 flyovers across the busy expressway at Onitsha, the first one will link MCC road to Oraifite street in Awada and Another at Uga Junction linking Atani road. Gov. Obiano has showed great foresight to invest into solving this man-made obstacle in development of the New Awka Capital Territory. Anambra people often only appreciate good things when they see it in Abuja, Lagos or PH. When it is brought home to their state, they'd always have a really silly comment. As Albert Einstein puts it; " Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former". - Albert Einstein Perhaps Gov. Obiano will serve Anambra better by donating the money to APC and defecting to that party or better still embarking on senseless foreign travels to Dubai and other parts of the middle east to chase elusive foreign investors as a certain SE governor has specialized. 5 Likes |

Even if it were just based on arterial network of well paved dual carriage roads and size of the metropolis, Owerri cannot compare to Enugu at all. After Douglas,Wetheral,Okigwe, and orlu roads, tell me what else we have in Owerri? Plus Sullivan Chime seem well determined to launch Enugu into the future as he constructs world standard roads complete with functional street lights, traffic lights, road signs and gutters! Sullivan should empower the Enugu police, ESWMA to begin impounding vehicles that disobey traffic lights in Enugu until the owners of such vehicles bring confirmation payment receipts from the bank showing that they have paid the stated fine into the state government bank account. I hope his partnership with the FG for the Enugu Inland dry port and export processing zone along the completed Enugu-Port Harcourt railway line comes to reality soon. The marked difference between the Enugu Governor and other SE states and indeed some SS states, which have much more money than Enugu is Sullivan's bigger vision for his state and knowing exactly the path to get there. Yet, without making any noise about his mighty achievements as we have with Roachas. 2 Likes |

Nigerians should legally own firearms. We all know that the emergency system does not work in Nigeria, if a kidnapper comes to your home to rob and kidnap, the only thing that can deter him is a shot fired, even into the air. In the 1980s, armed robbery and violent crimes were somehow at bay because most homes that i knew of had at least a double barrel gun. Today, it is harder to purchase a firearm through approved dealers,except you are an armed robber to buy from the black market. We should license Nigerian dealers to legally sell non-offensive firearms to law abiding citizens who simply need to have some protection against armed robbers and other violent criminals invading their homes. |
