It's a shame the north has all these and arable land. Yet they rely on cheating with bogus statistics of population in order to corner a lion share of oil wealth belonging to others. In the process creating massive crisis for the country while indirectly impoverishing itself.

I am a local traveller because of the nature of my work. I will say I travels on average of three differents states in nigeria in a week and have traveled at minimum 27 different states in this year a lone even have repeated some like two three times. Am into decorative stamped concrete floor and people that are into the same business with me will understand me better

From all my travel travel this year, this are my few observetions.

(1) APC MAKES GOOD USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA THAN OTHERS.

(2)BUHARI WILL WIN JONATHAN IF ELECTION IS CONDUCTED ONLINE BUT IF CONDUCTED IN OOLING UNIT JONAH WILL WIN

APC e-rats are actually paid to keep posting crap online.
Just as they dominated NL in 2010 and 2013 posting that Ngige would win Peter obi and obiano, he lost all the time. They said Fayemi would win and the reverse happened, then all their new monikers went silent. Buhari's paid e-rats will still disappear after february 14th when Buhari shall lose again.

[size=28pt]200 foreign companies to storm Enugu for 26th International Trade Fair[/size]


By Emmanuel Uzodinma on February 5, 2015

No less than 200 foreign companies are expected in Enugu in the next few weeks for the 26th Enugu International Trade Fair.

The President of the Enugu Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and
Agriculture (ECCIMA), Dr. Ifeanyi Okoye, who disclosed this on Thursday, said the companies would be coming from China, India, the United States, among others.

Dr. Okoye spoke while addressing a press conference in Enugu to flag off activities for the 26th Enugu International Trade Fair slated to begin on March 27 and to end on April 6, 2015.


He said the fair would be declared open by President Goodluck Jonathan.

Okoye, however, appealed to the Federal Government to give the chamber the approval to partner the private sector in the development of facilities at the permanent site of Enugu International Trade Fair Complex.

The President of ECCIMA) stated that there was still infrastructure deficit at the permanent site even though the state government had
been of great help in maintaining internal roads and general environmental status of the complex.

He stated that this year’s fair would attract the highest number of foreign firms in attendance ranging from 150 to 200 firms expected
from India, United Kingdom, United States, China and other parts of the world.


The ECCIMA President stated that the essence of the fair was to get business minded people, researchers and innovators together to
interact and then go back to develop themselves.


Okoye said that ECCIMA was aware of the general elections slated for this month, noting that they had started preparing for the fair
working with the current time table of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), but at the same time ready to make any necessary adjustment if desired.

Answering questions from journalists, Dr. Okoye stated that Enugu International Trade Fairs had impacted positively the economy of Enugu, South East and Nigeria in general.

“The results are there, we have a lot of companies in Enugu state and they have gained a lot from the past fairs. I can mention a company like Innoson, which all of you know; he manufactures vehicles now.

“They have been coming to participate in the Trade Fair, manufacturing plastics, now they are manufacturing vehicles,” he said.

He expressed the optimism that this year’s fair would a great success, adding that it had been packaged.

The ECCIMA boss announced that they were collaborating with banks and. marketing communication firm based in Lagos to enhance and boost the level of participation and visitors to the Fair through a unique introduction of gift presentations to lucky visitors to the Fair.

What Nigeria needs is transformation, not change
He gave the theme of this year’s Fair as “Engineering the Nation’s Business Climate for Enhanced Industrialization, Investment Inflow and
Empowerment Generation”, even as he announced that the opening ceremony would be chaired by Prince Arthur Eze, chairman of Oranto
Petroleum and Atlas Petroleum International Ltd.

Still the shining but abandoned Enugu Super Dome : International Conference Center
Will stop this colossal waste of the peoples' money by completing the edifice and opening it to host conferences, celebrity weddings to generate revenue for the state?

I'm proud of Chadian troops!
No moles to worry about in their midst.
They are committed to the job.

Buhari just says whatever he feels like to get his hand on Nigeria's treasury.

SenseiX:
Won't stop him from losing tho

He can laff as long as he still has bigots around him.

Even the worst critics of GEJ like me admit he has done very well with the economy. This is in spite of some northern politicians sponsoring a terror insurgency against him.

Lol....
Even dunces that never had Bsc talk more of Masters, now want to analyze PhD thesis? Do they even know what thesis mean or what to look for?
Because their terror mentor Buhari was a secondary school drop out?

Ignorance is truly blissful!

CFCfan:
Two projects which could potentially attract Nigerian diasporans, specifically medical professionals, are the proposed 1,600 bed Abuja medical city and the 20th Anniversary hospital in Uyo. These world-class tertiary health centers would likely be positioned to cater mostly for affluent Nigerians and some other foreigners. In other words, medical tourism could be the main goal. Countries such as Thailand, India, Singapore etc are the main centers for this type of tourism.

A hospital in Thailand rakes in around $500 million annually due to the fact that most of its clientele are middle to upper class foreigners, and some wealthy locals. $500 million is over N90bn. The two hospitals, if properly marketed, could each rake in billions of Naira annually. Americans could even receive medical care in them because the cost will cheaper than what obtains in the US. Here in the US, an operation which costs $4,000, could cost around $400 in India or Thailand.

Even though i don't agree one or two hospitals in a country as vast as Nigeria will make any difference in dragging diasporans back in great numbers.
Stable electricity power supply and developed information & housing systems may be able to do the trick. Nigeria need a complete overhaul of thinking or mentality of building third world infrastructure.I am particularly pained when government builds hospitals, universities and other public buildings as bungalows, citing the standard which Zik had in 1960 when Nigeria's budget was a few million dollars.The mentality that it is okay to build hospitals without boreholes or stable water supply or haphazard structures without medical equipment must change.
Like i had mentioned once, I thank the man that built the first Palms Mall in Lagos. It taught Nigerians that mall building can be a good investment. Likewise, housing projects like Centenary city and perhaps the Uyo hospital should inspire the building of world class housing estates and hospitals in Nigeria.

This is good news.

There is also news from defence sources that about 35,000 - 40,000 Boko haram fighters are negotiating for surrender.

If they have truly encircled them, this is the time to unleash artillery barrage until they come out with their hands in the air.

If they miss this opportunity to end Boko Haram, all these soldiers that have the advantage now will be surprised when they are killed in a few years from now by the same terrorists they have just encircled

Finally, Nigerian Troops Bombard Sambisa Forest




http://leadership.ng/news/408993/finally-nigerian-troops-bombard-sambisa-forest

The help from Chad bravely preventing Boko from escaping into Cameroon has finally tipped the table in favour of our troops.
No wonder the Boko haram sympathizes have been trying to play Chads involvement as an invasion of Nigeria.
Praise God for Chad!

Buhari is a Dunce, what does he have to say than he would use Sharia to fight kworoption and stabilize oil price.

Talk about having a sensible debate with Bin Laden.

Enugu Airport: State Tasks Aviation Firm On Cargo Equipment

******** ******** ********

You see what pisses me off with this country!?: The Enugu state gov't has done it's part in trying to wean itself off total dependence on allocation from Abuja, yet its efforts are being frustrated (by ommission or commission) by a useless bureaucratic-ridden federal agency!

Ever since the immediate past minister of aviation was talking of positioning the aviation sector to assist in the export of cash-crops and and other value-added agric produce, one would have thought that by now all would now be in place (IN ALL INTERNATIONAL GATEWAYS IN ALL REGIONS) to facilitate this!

All we do is fuc/king talk talk talk, yet when time comes for action we're ill-prepared and found wanting! Just imagine the billions of naira the Enugu state gov't is losing because of [size=18pt]NAHCOs incompetence or sabotage![/size]

Incompetence ?, yes, sometimes
Deliberate sabotage? Yes! always!
Gej have been accused of many things but NEVER Nepotism. He has never pursued a deliberate policy to under-develop any part of Nigeria unlike all his predecessors Except Umaru Yar'Adua.
All the others are engrossed in the game of lets pull down this and that region so that our own region will take over their advantage.The civil servants in these federal agencies have exactly the same parochial mindset. That is why it required an Aviation Minister of Igbo origin to fulfill the Federal Government's "desire" for an International airport in the Southeast region.

Yeye APC e-dogs. Everyone is their enemy because they won't broadcast hate messages.

What if everyone broadcast hate messages, what type of country would we have? Buhari always calls on Muslims not to vote for a non-muslim. What if Christians begin to campaign that christians should not vote for a muslim? They just cannot understand what equity means.

Anyhow, i'm not surprised when Buhari submits these types of documents for certificate and continues to make ignorant comments.

[size=13pt]Honestly,
We know our soldiers are one of the best equipped in Africa. Definitely better than Chad or Cameroon.Our army is a wholly volunteer force just like Chad and Cameroon.

So why is Chad and Cameroon able to fight Boko Haram and not surrender their entire military hardware to the terrorists?

We know there are some bad elements, saboteurs in our army determined to help arm Boko Haram by abandoning their gadgets at the firing of two shots by Boko Haram. Some of our troops also have a high level of indiscipline even firing at their commanding officers.

There has to be consequences for indiscipline in the military tradition. If we fail to take a hard stance on those who act as they wish in our armed forces, then our armed forces will truly fall apart from indiscipline and sabotage.[/size]

lomprico:
Buhari! It is called PRESS FREEDOM! We know its not a term u are familiar with. Doo!

Buhari does not like that word FREEDOM!
All he thinks about is killing, violence and hate speech.

BuddahMonk:
Oga where are you going? We are crying that our people dont invest back home and those that wanted to invest are being frustrated by greedy and foolish politicians and your telling me "mkpuru onye kuru''

kedu mkpuru ibeto; emenike na eric chime kuru na politicians ekwelo ka ha la mmiri debe iko?

Odika iso na ndi anyi naya na igboland?
Anam enyokwa gi enyooo

Buddah ehh?
You too like me o!
How you just put my comment up-side down, come carry onyoko-meter dey view my comment like lab. scientist?

Okay, my comment means that those that plant poverty in their area by rejecting an investor simply out of unwarranted nepotism, shall continue in poverty because they planted the tree of poverty in their land by stupidity. While someone like Dangote will continue to reap mega wealth, off their idiocy by selling to them what they naturally have in abundance. Sort of selling ice to the eskimos because he is too stupid to use his own snow to make ice.
If my village is blessed with limestone, just as another village in Gboko or Ogun state, and my village refuse to allow any investor unless he is my village man.Then tomorrow, we run to Ogun state or Benue state to work as slaves in other Cement factories created in other peoples land, it is our stupidity that has under-developed us and made us poor. Even crude oil is nothing unless it is extracted and turned into petrol by an investor. Only then can it create wealth and the youths can ask for their own share of the wealth by being gainfully employed in the company instead of running to Enugu, Onitsha or Kano to become wheel-baro pushers or okada riders.

Ngwanu, jukwam another question.

Oya., see opportunity for this buharists to start blaming Jonathan again!! Like say no be Buhari dey even sponsor Bokoharam!

Be advised that terror attacks will heighten as the February Presidential election gets closer. Buhari and other sponsors has told their Boko boys to continue attacking in order to sway Nigerians against the President. But their evil plot will still flop.

As I mentioned, some of your suggestions are unnecessary. You always seem to have issues with most of the infrastructures. You should sometimes let the drafters/Engineers incharge be... There is at least a reason why a particular feature is put in place, afterall it passed through some channels before being approved. If you are an engineer, you should know that and not sound too ITK-ish.

Now, this is Akpakume, who would have thought that roads can reach here, they are still moving in with the roads, Sullivan Chime is still constructing new roads at the 11 and half hour

I not only thank Chime for the effort to construct the roads to link up these communities, i thank him even more for building gutters to protect the roads and make sure they last in a good condition for a very long time

Going to Ebe town.

O'l boy, see land left and right that we can use for Cashew or Palm oil plantations!

Nigeria is truly blessed. I think our problem is because of too much natural blessing, we are unable to think critically how to transform our natural environments into money yielding ventures! Palm or Cashew plantations co-owned by the local communities and the state government would be a great poverty alleviation strategy for the people, while boosting the economy of the entire state. Where is ENADEP?

WARRI BRT PROJECT NOT ABANDONED - UDUAGHAN

Governor Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan of Delta State has debunked insinuations that the Warri Effurun BRT project has been abandoned. Dr. Uduaghan explained that the project was halted as a result of financial challenges, adding that the other challenge encountered is that of the outer lane expansion to enable commuters drive through it freely, stressing that work on the project will recommence next week. The governor gave the explanation during a breakfast meeting he had with newsmen at his private residence in Warri, Delta State.

"We have not abandoned the Project. The project only suffered financial challenges occasioned by the fall in Oil Prices which made our budget to be unrealistic.

"Another challenge with the project is the need to expand the outer lane to enable commuters drive freely. However, work on the project will recommence next week." He said

When asked what his administration is doing to clean up Warri and its environs after perceived illegal structures were demolished last year, the governor said he has no regret for the demolition of all illegal structures, stating that the streets in Warri are now cleaner.

On waste management, Dr. Uduaghan assured that the state government has ordered the procurement of big dust bins for people living in Delta State to dispose their waste properly.

My dear governor, Ride on!
We are solidly behind you.

I can't believe someone was so disrespectful to try and paste a poster on the monument.
Glad to see it was ripped off !

Always frustrating people, imagine the kind politicians we have in those states, I heard Emmanuel Emenike was also frustrated from building Academy in Enugwu.

A steel coy and cement coy wasting just like that while Dangote and Universal are selling their products in East without having any investment in Igboland.

Chaii NdigboooooOoooOoooo

Good Morning Sir.

Mkpuru onye kuru ka o'ga aghoro.

Honestly, it is not Dangote's fault that he is benefiting from Igbo stupidity, while Igbos are running around the country in other peoples' sub-regions searching for jobs and slaving in far away lands.

duni04:
True but there was little accountability leading up to the start of the decline in oil price,and even now. The missing 20 billion dollars would have been used to defend the naira better and reduce its slide against the dollar. There's a reason Soludo kept harping on the fact that Ngozi is coordinating minister. The buck stops on her desk. If the beurocrats in Abuja weren't listening to her counsel, she should have resigned instead of allowing a charlatan like soludo destroy her credibility.

[size=13pt]So, Soludo was there and she was "forging", yet he didn't say anything.

Suddenly he now "remembers" her forging because she called his policies disastrous?

Soludo has lost all my respect.[/size]

Cuche:
Does he agree he is not a saint
I disagree with the last paragraph. Obiano didn't become Governor simply for that your reason above. He was fought from with APGA the issue was he just came from 'nowhere' to usurp the coveted seat of APGA Gov aspirant from the foundation members
I for one, did not trust any candidate Obi anointed although I was convinced that such a candidate will win because of Federal might and interference ab initio. My main consolation at that time was that no such Governor who wants to make a difference in the State will honour any criminal agreement made with Obi.

Bro,
We are not here to debate well known facts. I guess Obiano was a former Senator, House of Rep. or even Local government chairman that we all knew about him before he beat even Peter Obi's SSG Oseloka Obaze, Mrs Ekwunife or Soludo to become the gubernatorial candidate?
Ngige even used to make a mockery of Obiano wearing Obi's image while campaigning to be governor.

Obiano himself said he used to read about the aspirants on newspapers from America and hoped for the best man to prevail. He didn't know he would be that man.
