PoliticsRe: FG Slashes Works Ministry’s Budget From N100bn To 11bn by cjrane: 1:52pm On Mar 10, 2015
Unless we privatize these highways to companies that will maintain them all year round for a toll, we are wasting our time thinking the Federal government has the resources to continue to build and maintain Nigeria's vast federal highways nationwide.

Just as telephones started working again after we privatized that sector after many years pretending to be adding lines to Nitel. We must do exactly the same thing with federal highways.

Schematics:
Most of if not all the roads you pointed out in Umahia are the road that were merely divided at the center and are not purpose-dualized roads. Those roads are still more or less single lanes because it can hardly pass several vehicle at once.

There are so many dualized roads already in Awka apart from Zik avenue and other big road that if demarcated it will become 4 lanes in your definition. With what is on the ground already and what is going on in Awka at the moment it will displace Enugu and place it at the second position when completed, talk more of such small towns as Umahia and Owerre you mentioned in your tirade..

I will say in Phyno's voice "onwebero ife i fulu" grin

Bro, I won't call you names or an ediot because only nonentities want to call people names rather than to tackle the issues raised. You have done and continue to do evil against the great name of Anambra and her illustrious people by your regrettable and thoughtless activities and statements. Anyhow, I don't need you to validate that i do love Anambra with all my heart. But, i must state the facts even if you don't like it.

So, let me respectfully say it again, although Peter Obi did excellently in intra state roads. However, Umuahia not to mention Owerri now have more DUALIZED roads than Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi COMBINED!

Now i am not counting the federal road PH-Enugu road passing through Umuahia as dual carriages in Umuahia. I am counting the roads dualized inside Umuahia. Just like i am not counting the federal highway Enugu-Onitsha expressway passing through Onitsha and Awka as dual carriage ways in both cities.

If you have been to Umuahia or Owerri lately, the equivalence of these major roads in Onitsha such as; Oguta road, Awka road, Limca road, Oraifite street, Ezeiweka street, Port Harcourt road, Ozomagala road, Modebe avenue,Zik avenue, Iweka road,Anazonwu street, New market road,old market road,Bida street, Atani road, MCC road etc in Onitsha have ALL been dualized .

Now you can say all you want and call me Nkita as much as it tickles your fancy, i still do hate Rochas like you do. But, eziokwu is bitter. Rochas especially in Owerri have surprised me with many many many dualized roads beyond my hatred for him.

Now, my man Obiano seems to be determined to build modern world class infrastructure in Anambra. I hope he succeeds. We need world class roads, well demarcated with street light and even traffic lights in the in our major cities of Onitsha, Awka and Nnewi. We deserve nothing less.

When you travel around Anambra then you will respect Obi. He didn't base his projects in one place. He made sure that every community had something to behold and that by far is more important than building every infrastructure in just one place whereas the hinterland is a no no, just like the states you mentioned. I hold him to high esteem in terms of his performance in office..
Bro,
I have said that already. Obi is well documented to have linked every Anambra community with good two lane roads. FACT!

In terms of roads dualization, Obi whom i respect very much for other achievements came a resounding last. FACT!

I don't want us to make this thread about Obi. Apart from the dualized Ziks avenue, Obi did dualize Park avenue leading to Shoprite in Onitsha, then move over to Harbour Industrial estate at the bank of River Niger and see standard gauge dualized roads in that estate linking various companies.

The fact is that Obi did a lot on any project that will bring return on investment. He had his short-comings just like every other person out there. But he signed the first ever CofO I applied for within 3months but Obiano is yet to sign the one I submitted over 9months ago. lol. But that is not the basis of whatever I say for each of them. The fact is Obi was good but Obiano as a technocrat is better. I stand for the truth always..
I don't want to diminish Obi's various illustrious achievements. But, when it comes to roads dualization, he can't even be compared to Martin Elechi or nor Theodore Orji who are believed to be purported failures. Umuahia alone has more dualized roads than Onitsha,Awka and Nnewi combined!!! You definitely cannot mention the word "roads dualization" and mention Chime nor Rochas with Obi in the same sentence. As difficult and embarrassing it is to state as the facts, Chime and Rochas transformed their states with roads dualization(ssssssssssssssssssssss)

Zik's avenue dualization was COMPLETED by Obi. It was started waaaaaay before Obi came into office.
As for the Park avenue and Harbour road, do you mind telling us if both roads combined were up to 2 km?

That you are tired of my exposure of Peter Obi's wasted 8 years in Anambra does not mean same for others. I've got people sending me mails to fire down. We have not even started. Peter obi must not be allowed to get away with all the fraud he perpetuated in office.

I didnt write the article you quoted but Since you asked for it, tell us any road dualized by Peter obi in 8 years in Anambra. if you don't know what a flyover is go to aroma junction and see one.

As a matter of fact I'm getting tired of responding to you brainwashed elements. I should just keep posting and leave you fools to eat your hearts out!
Peter Obi never dualized any road in Anambra, but it is on record he connected many many communities with good roads.

I don't think Obi failed no matter your yard stick for measurement. I think Obi was perhaps cautious to a fault. There are some projects Obi could have borrowed to do, with proper checks and balances put in place to make sure the project pays for itself.
For example, Anambra could have guaranteed a loan for Orient to complete the refinery and then make sure a fixed percentage of the profit from sale of fuel go directly towards repaying the loan used in building the refinery.

You missed the point I made earlier. The airport is being financed on PPP arrangements. Part of the contributions of Anambra State Government is the provision of enabling environment- road infrastructures linking the airport and provision of the land, all these have been met as Obiano just awarded the dual carriage roads linking the airport. The massive land for the project was even acquired 2years ago by Obi.
If Orient builds this airport the way Shell built (Osubi) Warri and Escravos airports to facilitate operations, i'm all for it. It will help develop Anambra oil sector. But for the state government to sink deeper into foreign debt to do it, is clearly unreasonable. Unless you want to consider from the point of view that the governor is from Aguleri.
However, you had earlier stated it will be a PPP project. So, we are all on the same level at that.
PoliticsRe: Anambra light of the nation, eastern economy power house. by cjrane: 10:10pm On Mar 08, 2015
Schematics:
I put it to you that it makes every sense to site the airport at Otuocha-Aguleri than in a built up city. Otuocha has massive table land suitable for such massive project even in the event of future expansion.

The present location of the airport is about 25mins to Onitsha and about 35-40mins to Awka and 50mins to Nnewi. The airport in question is equally about 2hrs to Kogi state and just an hour drive to Nsukka. Modern airports like the Abuja airport are sited off the major cities to avoid congestion in the future.

The airport is strategically located because it within the precinct of the Orient Petroleum Refinery. A lot of planning has gone into the entire process before it was finally settled for the location.
So you are expecting people from Idah, Kogi state to use Aguleri airport? grin

So you would prefer another sinking of about N100 billion naira to build an airport instead of completing the refinery which would create thousands of good paying jobs and turn Anambra into a petro chemical industries mecca of West Africa??

What about building an IPP with the oil and gas from Anambra to support constant power availability in Onitsha- Nnewi industrial cluster? So the best way to develop Anambra is to build an airport with the available funds?

Obiano has a solid background in accounting and financial matters. He has worked this out before even embarking it. Like I said recently our IGR went up to over a billion and he has mapped out strategy to move it to over 3 billion this year. He sets targets for himself and strives to achieve them. That is what governance should be about. He will augment the dwindling oil price with our IGR that was what he said at the beginning of the year and he is already living up to that.

Like as I said he has awarded 3 dual carriageways linking the airport. This is a very ambitious government, very soon investor will be scrambling to be part of it because enabling environment and infrastructure is already being provided. He understand the importance of the airport that is why he is pursuing it vigorously.

Anambra's economy is diversified from merchants to industries and now oil and gas- at least I know that the state has the largest bank branches in Nigeria after Lagos. A lot more is happening in Anambra!
Chino nwa mama,

@ the bolded, i am highly elated. We need dual carriage ways linking Onitsha and Awka to Anambra north.It is the final axis with enough land to build the Anambra of our dream that is well planned and wonderful cities. If this airport makes us to finally do the right thing, then so be it.
You already know we have had this argument in the past and we both know each other's position already. So, i won't repeat ourselves again.
PoliticsRe: Anambra light of the nation, eastern economy power house. by cjrane: 9:52pm On Mar 08, 2015
Schematics:
CJ, you have written a very long grammar but I will be brief and blunt. Anambrans are the most traveled poeple in Nigeria. FACT! Anambra is the most populous state after Lagos and Kano FACT! Why then should such a state not see an airport as one of its most important priorities?

The airports in Enugu and Delta are still working today courtesy of mostly Anambra users. The President made a startling revelation in Onitsha recently that one of every three private Jets in Nigeria is owned by an Anambran. Do you know how much we loose as a state in that case?

Again Anambra has the largest trading center in West Africa and West African Trade Center is equally being built. Why should such a state not see airport as a priority? Orient petroleum refinery and its ancillaries are coming soon..and will need an operational airport to thrive. Malls of international standing are equally coming up alongside five star hospitality facilities.

Anambra airport is not being built only because they will be selling ATK, though it is part of it but the above instances are also part of. Presently it is only Ghana that sells ATK in West Africa, there is no such that exist anywhere in Nigeria and Anambra keying into ATK needs a functional International airport to pull it through.

That said, the airport in question is being financed on PPP basis. Part of the state government contribution is the provision of standard gauge rood infrastructures just like Obiano is already doing and also provision of the land which has also been provided and secured too. Three dual-carriageways has been awarded connecting the airport from the state's major cities. These are part of the enabling envrionment we are talking about and the government is steadily living up to that. This is the reason investors are falling over themselves just to be part of the investments in Anambra.
Bro Chino,
All you have said is true.If the lies in Nigeria's census is corrected, Anambra truly has bigger population than Kano. But, that isn't my point. If resources were unlimited, we would say lets have anything we want. In the light of meager resources which has even got tighter with fall of oil price, we must choose wisely what is of utmost importance to our economic resurgence and not merely ego.
Mind you, let me reiterate that;

[size=18pt] I AM NOT AGAINST AN AIRPORT for Onitsha, but built in AGULERI.[/size]

Just that it makes no sense to build an airport in Aguleri with state funds, in the light of so many unmet pressing and basic developmental needs in the state.
PoliticsRe: Anambra light of the nation, eastern economy power house. by cjrane:
emmysoftyou:
i can understand that a lot of project is going on in anambra state right now including the airport project,but he should slow down his project if it will cause huge indebtedness to anambra state,i mean picked the important priority ones and economize some of anambra state project.

Bro,i know that project and development is a good thing to behold but it s disheartening if the state's federal allocation is small and the govnor went into borrowing to meet up with expectation and demoralised the economy and the people. .
with huge debt of 23,000million dollar for the past 6mnth outlay, it means that in the future,our beloved governor,willie obiano,will find it difficult to pay the anambrarians civil servants just like what s happening in ekiti or osun state..
The man need more economical advice or he wìl end up like jonathan..
QED..
Anambra needs exactly all the projects being built such as refinery, Dual carriage way to the Refinery/airport site from Awka and Onitsha. The dual carriage way will open up the land in that area as a new frontier for development of modern cities to make the entire Anambra a true mega city.

What I still seriously doubt its economic viability/wisdom is the use of state funds to build an airport in Aguleri now that there are international airports in Enugu and finally a domestic airport less than 5 kilometers from Onitsha main market at Asaba.
We had all watched with horror how for many many years, the struggle to build an international airport at Oba to service Onitsha main market had been frustrated by many kingpins in Anambra power-play. To God be the glory, a State capital was placed next to Onitsha and immediately the focus of the struggle changed into urging the near by Delta state to put an airport in its capital city which had since broken the jinx of those who compromised Anambra government and swore no airport shall be 100 Kilometers close to Onitsha to protect their luxury bus business.

It is easy to claim that Lufthansa, Turkish airline, British Airways, Delta airlines, Saudi Arabian airline or Malaysia airways will leave Port Harcourt or Accra where they are currently getting ATK aviation fuel to fly into Aguleri for same. We know how easy it had been for us to convince these foreign carriers to connect Enugu or even Asaba inspite of all the facilities in those airports for day and night flights.
My real question is what if the international airlines still prefer to go to PH and Accra to get fuel after the Aguleri airport is built? What would then be the justification for spending billions to build the airport? Where in the world has billions been spent for an international airport to be built solely to sell fuel and not for passenger traffic? This is a serious issue in my opinion to build an airport just to sell fuel.
Chino has already advised me that the airport shall be a PPP initiative of a private investor. In that case, it makes every sense for an individual to build it and manage it as his own personal investment than sinking billions of state money in such white elephant project.

We should use that money for airports craze to build a light rail system that connects Ihiala/ Nnewi axis and Awka/Awkuzu axis directly to Onitsha main market. So that our people living in Awka or Ihiala can simply board a light train and go buy or sell at Onitsha main market and return to their city of residence without paying too much on transportation.Ethiopia borrowed to build and indeed just commissioned a 70 kilometers light rail system for $400 million dollars to connect towns around Addis Ababa. Even if we borrow to build such a project, it will easily pay for itself from the revenue which it will generate from cheaply and conveniently moving millions of people everyday into and out of Onitsha.
