Great kudos to Governor Dave Nweze Umahi and the great leaders of Ebonyi state.

Abakaliki is totally poised to become the most modern city in Nigeria in a few years time. Following a similar developmental plan of Abuja, whereby you set out an area and purpose build it into a planned modern city. Not the usual third world chaotic crap of Nigerian cities. This is the boldness to recreate Abuja and i respect them for this!

This is exactly the development pattern that i expected for many years of my own state capital ~ Awka. Whereby a large area / virgin land in Agu Awka is surveyed and gradually developed with well paved roads and places for critical development infrastructure including stadium, residential areas, public parks, industrial areas etc are well marked out.

Instead of the current method of haphazard third world style development we see today. I am so happy for the great vision and determination of Ebonyi leaders to make Abakaliki only second to Abuja in modernity. All Abakaliki needs now are attracting more industries and building a small airport to easily connect it to major cities of Nigeria by air to facilitate movement of investors and top business executives.

IGBOSON1:
I’ve always wondered why Anambra, Abia, Imo and Enugu don’t leverage properly on the huge real-estate and property boom in their states to increase their IGR!

I reckon Anambra alone can raise an extra 1 billion naira a month if they think outside the box like you’ve suggested and enumerate all properties (in the villas, towns and cities) for the purposes of property tax! Also, i doubt they’re collecting the right amount of tenement rates as well.

No one is suggesting Anambrans should be overtaxed....just collect the barest minimum, and plug all the loopholes through which a large percentage of tax due is pocketed by private individuals! I think this is where Enugu has improved over other south-east states. Enugu seems to have improved on its systems and procedures for collecting IGR, and this has reflected in the increase they’ve recorded when compared with their 2018 receipts.

I’m particular about Anambra, because i know the huge potential it has, coupled with the fact the Governor has been making pronouncements on increasing the states internally generated revenue! Imo and Abia...their own wahala is just too much for me to analyse tonight!

Umueme:
Nwanna if you are not in Aba keep off my mention pls. Aba has taken a turn for good under Ikpeazu. It was cos of Ikpeazu that made in Aba started making waves again. If Orji Uzor and T.A Orji did half what Ikpeazu has done, we would have been far better.



Let me let you in on a secret. Many non indigenes of Aba are not happy that an Ngwa man is currently the governor. (Sadly the same way many ndi-Igbo despise Buhari). They are hell bent on potraying Abia in bad light because Ikpeazu is an Ngwa man. I bet you that if a non Ngwa man wins the next election, the truth about Abia will come out........

MinorityOpinion:
Arguably, Nigeria is the largest oil producer in Africa and the 6th in the world. On average, the country produced about 2 million barrels of crude oil in a day. This volume of oil produced daily in Nigeria is produced majorly in the Niger Delta region of the country that constitute just about 7% of the total land mass of the country.

With this, you need no one to tell you that most of the oil blocks are located in the Niger Delta region, the part known as south-south geopolitical zone. However, some states in the south east and south west are also oil producing.

In all, the oil producing states are Akwa Ibom, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Edo, Ondo, Imo, Abia and Lagos. The production is not evenly distributed. Akwa Ibom, Delta, Rivers and Bayelsa account for 90.1% of the oil produced, making them the top producers of oil in the country

According to a former Chairman of the Senate Committee on Business and Rules, Senator Ita Enang, 83 per cent of oil blocks in the country are owned by northerners. How truth is that? For political reasons, some people believed him then. The question nobody asked him then is how possibly can that be when 88 percent of the oil blocks are owned by multinational corporations.

This article lists out the names of owners of oil wells in Nigeria this 2020.

First, what is an oil well? An oil well is a hole dug into the Earth that serves the purpose of bringing oil or other hydrocarbons like natural gas to the surface of the earth. This is different from an oil block which is a large area of land, typically in 1000s of square kilometers. Usually, both oil wells and blocks are awarded to businesses by the government.

The list below contains the names of those having oil wells. It is no news saying some oil blocks and wells are owned by family. In such cases, the key family members on the business board will have their names here. Also, some of the wells are joint businesses by two or more persons.

It is important to also note that getting the full list can be said to be impossible – it’s actually possible though. So, just know that this is not a complete list.

Remember, people own properties by proxy in Nigeria. Aside owing property by proxy, the issue of license renewal and others things comes into play. Having that in mind, don’t expect a complete list.

Here are their names:

General Theophilus Danjuma
Colonel Sanni Bello
Alhaji Mohammed Ludimi
Alhaji W.I. Folawiyo
Alhaji Aminu Cantata
Alhaji Sela Mohammed Gambo
Prince Nasiru Ado Bayero
Alhaji Mai Daribo

You forgot to add the list of oil wealth owners below

rdokoye:
If they attack us in our own land, they'll be massacred. They are grossly outnumbered, 20+ million to a few thousand. They might be uneducated but they're not brainless.

I think they're coming for food. They probably heard about Igbo people giving out food to their people in towns and villages and so are heading there for survival sake.

It's not like Borno State where they have millions of potential recruits. In Igboland all they have are those they can fit on a truck and then, attacking Igboland would surely fracture the country. Something they do not want to happen.

NoIgboSoundTueh:
If Northerners retaliate in like measure, asking Igbos to Open up throttle and leave immediately you will be crying Victimisation.
There are Igbos all over kano more than we ever want.
If Almajiri are not allowed in SE what about hundreds of thousands of igbos who leave Abia, Imo, Enugu etc to seek better life in North

XANDERBOY85:
Don't mind the mofo! We fool ourselves with our mislplaced sense of security in the south in general and Igboland in particular, if we think we don't have a problem on our hands with this clandestine movement of truckloads of northerners down south! What are they looking for in Igboland? They've held power for the greater part of 60 years since 'independence' and deprived Igbos of political and economic advantages at any given opportunity! Yet now they're leaving their 'el-dorado' with all its advantages of producing presidents....hundreds of local gov'ts....gov't enabled billionaires.....smooth expressways.....multi-million dollar dams.....smooth higways and flyovers.....inter-state train services.......they leave all these and are breaking the lockdown to sneak into Igboland that they've marginalised and deprived from 1966 to date!

I actually feel for them as these youths are equally victims of the wickedness, nepotism, bigotry, greed and visionless rulership of their elite, but i'm now in self-preservation mode and have to first think of securing my homeland from COVID, threats of terrorism and any other thing the presence of these youths may bring to the south-east!

… set to build one COVID testing Centre in the state

Former Anambra State governor, Peter Obi, PDP Chieftain, Godwin Maduka and other stakeholders in the state has donated a cash sum of N125 million meant for the post lockdown interventions for the Anambra people. In a statement made available by the PDP Chairman, Anambra State, Chief Ndubuisi Nwobu, signed by Mrs Chidi Onyemelukwe, Chairman and Barr Okoli Akirika, Secretary, Anambra PDP Palliative Committee stating that there is need to thank Anambra people for being law abiding and adhering to orders by the Federal government on the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Ndi Anambra, we the PDP Family in Anambra State, sincerely thank you for abiding by the rules and regulations prescribed by the Federal and State governments in the fight against the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

“We thank our heroes and heroines in the field, our health care workers, who are at the fore front of this fight. We mourn our compatriots who have lost their lives to this pandemic. Our hearts go out to their families and loved ones. May God comfort and strengthen you and us all.

“We also thank the Federal government and the Anambra State government for all their efforts through the period of the lockdown and continuing. “We equally appreciate the Anambra State PDP Leadership, Legislators and Stakeholders, and other well-meaning Ndi-Anambra in different communities, who, in spite of the difficult times, made noticeable and laudable sacrifices to help reduce the hardship experienced by our people in different towns and villages across the state.” Stating further, they said;

“This COVID-19 pandemic calls for synergy by all stakeholders as the pandemic requires all of us to work together as a family because, it neither respects politicalposition, tribal origin and religious affiliation, nor has it any form of sentiments whatsoever. It affects all of us same way and manner, and we all must fight it together as a family and for humanity.

“With the announced relaxation of the lockdown, the PDP Family in Anambra State is aware of the challenges facing the less privileged ones amongst us. While we know that the Federal government and the Anambra State government will, and have been doing a lot to help the people restart their lives,we in PDP Anambra deem it imperative as a party and as a people to, once again,  rise up and support our people, especially the most vulnerable ones, to get back on their feet. “We are therefore committing the sum of N125,000,000 (One hundred and twenty five million naira) towards this purpose.”

However, the committee also disclosed that in line with accountability and transparency, the expenditures has been broken down for easy understanding. “In line with our strict position of ensuring accountability and transparency to the public on contributions and expenditures, we wish to give a breakdown of what the N125,000,000entails as follows:

Anambra State, owing to it’s economic and commercial importance to our nation, deserves to have a COVID-19 testing lab in place. PDP Anambra state, is therefore committing to setting up a standard COVID-19 testing lab within 21 days of adequate space being provided by either the Anambra State Government or in the alternative, the Federal Government.

We are therefore requesting the Federal Government of Nigeria and the Anambra State Government to provide us a space either at Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, Nnewi; the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu OjukwuUniversity Teaching Hospital, Awka; or any of the hospitals in Anambra State, donated to the Federal Government by the Catholic Church; to set up a standard COVID-19 testing lab for this purpose.

“We will be donating to each community in Anambra State the sum of N300,000 (three hundred thousand naira). This will enable the communities to give 60 least privileged persons/families in each community N5000 (five thousand naira) each, to help them start life again and contribute to their business revival in this post lockdown era. While there are 179 communities in Anambra State, there are some additional areas that, we believe, need to be accommodated.

For example OnitshaUrban area (Onitsha North and Onitsha South LGA), Obosi town (Obosi Urban and Obosi Village), Okpokoarea in Ogbaru etc, are some of the communities we considered as 2-in-1. N105,000 (One hundred and five thousand naira) will be used to provide food, cash and other items, as palliatives, directly to each ward in our communities.”

The committee also commended yhe magnanimous efforts of donours saying, “we graciously thank the under-listed donors for their generosity, and these donors are; Anambra PDP BoT Members, Anambra State PDP Chairman and Executives.

ANAMBRA WILL DESTROY NIGERIA.

LAS, LAS....


ANAMBRA IS NOT IMO STATE.

Yaribanzaonic:
The NBS statistics has been proven to be a useless and callous display of Afonja consistency with lies and defamation propaganda.

To a large extent 'Corona' virus exposes the zones that are built to last!!

Lagos----Accepted Spoilt Rice even with IGR
Ondo----Accepted Spoilt Rice
Osun-----As a state is already dead even before Corona
Ekiti---- Dem Try sha!
Oyo---Rejected the Rice,but is hq for Moroni Youths. People that don't think.
Ogun---Poverty wan kill them as Nobody, even the manufacturing companies no send them!

The South East and South South Region didn't have any useless palliative and even Governors rejected the Rice!!!

Did their citizens commit suicide----NO!!
Did their children resort to robbery--NO!!
Did they queue at God fathers houses as they queued at Burdillion?---NO!!

So why will Poverty infested, Amala guzzling, Afonja believe that they are more packaged than people from the better South beats my imagination.

Amala truly makes Afonja Hallucinate!

horsepower102:
Honestly, NBS just showed how far they are willing to go just to prove a point. Nothing in that statistics add up to reality.

The only problem is that when foreign investors are looking at where to invest and get a good return, they will just ignore the south east and go to the west and south south.

I know their game plan.
