Only God knows the truth.

If this is a true recovery then the new rate will persist at least until December.

If the CBN is using scarce foreign exchange to defend the naira and hide their incompetence, then let us see HOW LONG we can defend naira with scarce foreign exchange.

In a few months, the truth will be known to everyone.

LOVEALAIGBO:
Good points! I think the likes of Air Peace and INNOSON should go public and sell say 30 to 40 percent shares of their coys while still maintaining majority control. The money raised can be reinvested into the business!

They still need A LOT of consolidation and capacity building before selling shares. Else that would be putting the cart before the horse.

Buying or leasing the plane is typically the last leg of starting a new route. You have to build internal staff capacity, secure pilots, ground crews and other logistics required to go into the new airport or country. Getting powerful Nigerians and politicians now as Air Peace major investors with their usual demands of who you must hire or fire, could end up being the death blow that created another Nigeria Airways for the airline.

Chairman of United Nigeria Airlines Celebrates Air Peace's Landmark Inaugural Flight to London

... Says United Nigeria Airlines Is Next

Air Peace will be making history with its inaugural flight from Lagos, Nigeria, to Gatwick, London, signaling a momentous leap forward for the Nigerian aviation industry. The significance of this milestone will be highlighted by the presence of the Chairman of United Nigeria Airlines, Professor Obiora Okonkwo, OFR, who will be aboard the flight to show support and solidarity for his brother, Barr. Allen Onyema, the visionary behind Air Peace.

In a statement reflecting the spirit of unity and triumph, the Chairman of United Nigeria Airlines declared, "Today is our day of victory, our success, our Airpeace inaugural flight to London. London, here I come on board Airpeace. Congratulations to us. To God be the glory."

The launch of the Lagos-Gatwick route not only enhances connectivity between Nigeria and the United Kingdom but also sets the stage for the Nigerian aviation industry. This momentous occasion symbolizes Nigeria's growing presence in the global aviation arena and signals a promising future for the nation's aviation industry.

As Air Peace blazes a trail to Gatwick, London, it paves the way for other Nigerian airlines to follow suit, fostering economic growth, job creation, and international partnerships. The success of this inaugural flight is a testament to the vision and determination of Nigerian aviation leaders, propelling the industry towards new heights of excellence and opportunity.

With Air Peace's inaugural flight to London, United Nigeria Airlines is next to hit the international routes.

The business relationship between Chief Allen Onyema of Air Peace and Professor Obiora Okonkwo, OFR, of United Nigeria Airlines has remained the trending topic across platforms, with many expressing admiration for their partnership and support for each other. Both have continued to redefine friendly competition and put into practice the popular Igbo maxim, "Onye aghana Nwanne ya".

Congratulations to Air Peace, United Nigeria Airlines Is Next.

Air Peace should make it possible for its passengers to schedule international flights to begin and end at their local airport just like many American airlines. This will be a great step forward in easing the stress of traveling for Nigerians. If Air Peace will first put you on a local flight to Lagos airport where you will then join the international flight to your destination, air travel in Nigeria would be at par with what is done abroad.

if Air Peace reduces the stress of international trips for Nigerians by ensuring that they can book one ticket that encompasses their local flight and international flight beginning from their local airport, that convenience alone will win so many Nigerian travelers to use Air Peace no matter the plots hatched by the powerful foreign airlines against Nigerians.

I was in Onitsha yesterday and I can tell you that Soludo is gradually transforming that city to become the pride of Igbo nation. You cannot imagine how fegge and federal housing areas look now.

Incidentally I asked the man that I was buying a pumping machine from his shop along PH road, if he was so happy about the progress . As soon as he started praising Soludo, the touts standing there bitterly argued that they preferred the old order when they freely attacked people and extorted money from them! Which was now difficult under Soludo. I argued with them that it was because of good roads and absence of touts that I dared to travel from Asaba to Onitsha to buy a good pumping machine. But they argued even more vehemently against the improvements and progress brought by Soludo! The owner of the store looked on but remained quiet. Apparently scared of the touts. At that point I realized that some entrenched dark forces were indeed saddened by the progress in Anambra state because it denied them the cover to commit crimes. It is important to also note that most of these touts were criminals from other Southeastern states that flocked into Onitsha to help make the lives of the city residents a living hell.

Unknown soldiers....na dem do am ~in Fela's voice.....

When are we going to have a professional army?

Afenifere is 100% correct!

No Yoruba should join the northern elites plot to launch their Anti-Tinubu protests under the smokescreen of “hardship protests”!

The same Fulani elites maintained criminal silence for 8 years as Buhari mismanaged and looted the Nigerian economy. Now they have suddenly found their voices to call for anti-Tinubu protests and veiled threats of military coup because the current President is not their kinsman! Manipulation and deceit at its highest!

It is clear now to everyone that the double standards of citizenship rights in Nigeria is behind the entitlement mindset of the Fulani elites that Buhari can destroy the economy of Nigeria for 8 years and nobody will be called to protest or destabilize his government. But if a Yoruba man or any non-Fulani does not perform miracles in 6 months, northerners will be called to hit the streets and chase them out of power.

What a sick mindset! Especially when the current problems were caused by a Fulani President !

Iamanoited:
THE PROTEST IS HOOLIGANISM.

The biggest question is WHY protest against Tinubu who inherited a wrecked economy from Buhari.

Yet the same Hausa/Fulani elders who are now pushing for protests against Tinubu just after 8 months in office kept criminally silent for 8 years as their son looted and pillaged the Nigerian economy.

Tinubu may be a corrupt politician, but it is very unfair for the same northern elders who kept silent and watched Buhari wreck and loot Nigeria’s economy for 8 years, only to now turn around and blame Tinubu for Nigeria’s economic woes just after only 8 months in office.

None of the northern leaders even mention Buhari at all in their criticisms! For them, all the loans and looting under Buhari never happened. It is Tinubu that depleted the foreign reserves and took all the massive foreign debts that we now use 98% of our revenue to service the interests on the loans.

I am glad that Igbos have already declared that they are not joining any silly protests against Tinubu. No right thinking Yoruba should join in this manipulation of northern elders to destabilize Tinubu. The same people that won’t even give Tinubu a year before calling for military intervention gave their own son Buhari 8 years to loot the economy and recklessly print 30 trillion naira that has contributed in making the currency worthless.

Nigeria does not deserve a good leader or an incorruptible leader.

Nigeria deserves to have greedy corrupt men to continue stealing and making the country poorer through siphoning all our foreign currency into their personal bank accounts abroad and continue printing useless naira notes internally . While distracting the people by telling them about tribes and religious bigotry as their only contribution to society.

Jcoleworld911:
All that guy do is to criticize Soludo projects, ndi Anambra have stop watching his videos

He’s so bitter, the last time on his YouTube video someone praised Soludo project and he deleted that comment and ndi Anambra bounced on him

We told him that we will praise Soludo when he did well and we will also criticize him when he didn’t do so well, the park he has been criticizing is private own and yet not complete, let him wait till they complete the project before running around with his nonsense

Soludo is really trying in Anambra state, so many projects are ongoing. Endeavor to watch other YouTubers based in Anambra and see/hear their honest opinion about Anambra

If you judge base on yangalife tv, you will always make mistakes because he’s somehow bias.

Explore other platforms too, good morning umu Anambra, May Chi bless your day

GBAM!

I always used to ask myself why he was not making videos of the heaps of trash and muddy roads all over Onitsha, Nnewi etc when Obiano was ruling. Were those roads good and trash free then? Only for the roads to become bad as soon as Soludo became governor? After all the yanga boy lived in Asaba and traded in Onitsha! So he definitely saw all those places everyday while Obiano and even Obi were there. Did he not know that scarcity of resources and the difficulty involved in demolishing shanties were the primary reasons why many governors simply ignored urban renewal?

Yet now that Soludo started urban renewal after more than 50 years of abandoning these cities infrastructure, he is in a hurry to have the place transformed into Abuja overnight! He never gives credit for anything, all his silly videos are about how to blame Soludo for open defecation and other atrocities committed by touts in Onitsha.

Part of the reason I started supporting Chino is that it is no longer hidden that people from some of these neighboring southeast states actually wish Anambra the worst. The amazing thing is that most of them were born in Anambra and speak Anambra dialect of Igbo language. Yet they still hate the place! Unlike when you see Anambra kids born in Aba, they are fiercely pro-Abia! Even when their parents state of origin in Anambra. I have tried hard to understand this phenomenon without success. Why do many of them despise the state of their birth even though you would never know their parents are not from Anambra if they didn’t tell you.

Abufo:
I do not want to come off as being pessimistic but there is something amiss in this Soludo administration, I am yet to put my finger on it but I am still not feeling his administration style. I feel that his zeal to take Anambra to greater heights may have been tempered by lack of funds....i do not see nor feel his passion to make a sustainable difference! Just look at what a library looks like in a state governed by a professor!


Now watch the state of Onitsha commercial district courtesy of Yangalife tv.........I dunno! I am not happy at all!



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weijPffAOpE

I just knew silly punks will try to blame Soludo for the state of Onitsha library.

FYI, this library has not been rehabilitated in more than 40 years! There have been several governors that spent 8 years in that time frame and did Nothing! If it was not that Soludo has demonstrated his desire to upgrade Anambra state, nobody would be appealing to him to paint a library because you know it would not happen.

Stop your silly blame game. Nigeria is BROKE! Yet Soludo finds money to somehow continue modernizing Anambra. As for the silly Chinedu behind your yanga channel, his only contribution is to film the state and just continue trying to blame government for the sorry attitude of people. Even getting people to stop trading on the streets and trashing the environment is such a difficult and politically dangerous move by Soludo. Since you will need to enforce it. Which could make one unpopular trying to do the right thing. That is exactly the reason why successive Anambra governors did not bother themselves with trying to create a decent state. They knew it was politically dangerous and would rather leave Onitsha, Awka and Nnewi in squalor than risk their political future.

Soludo must be appreciated for the difficult steps he is taking to transform Anambra and make it one of the decent place one can live within Nigeria again.

ChimaAdeoye:
Please Repaint abd Equip the Anambra State Library, Onitsha Division!

I am moved to make this public appeal to Anambra State government under the able leadership of Prof. Charles Soludo (Charlie Nwa Mgbafor) on the sorry condition of the state library, Onitsha division.

As someone who studied for his SSCE, Jamb, Second MBBS medical examination, and finally my United States Medical Licensing Examination in this building, I cannot overstate its importance to the promotion of educational excellence in Anambra state. I am sure that thousands of professionals INCLUDING Prof. Charles Soludo himself must have studied at one point or another in this library building.

Biko nu, let this building be repainted and upgraded with computers, internet, and new desks so that the upcoming generation will have at least a serene place to study for their exams the way we did in our time.

Anyone with Soludo's contact should send him this appeal so that this iconic library will be re-painted and upgraded to continue supporting educational excellence as it previously did.

Even with the current inflation, repainting this building should not cost more than 7 to 10 million. But it would be so much worth it for such an iconic building.
What has been going through my mind is why all the previous governors neglected this building? Yet they mindlessly dashed jeeps to all sorts of people and traditional rulers.

Anambra associations abroad should link this library to sister libraries abroad which can donate books to them to keep it well stocked with modern books.

This video summarized everything about the impact of street trading and the lack of good waste management.

We must address the issue of street trading and proper waste management that complicates the street trading phenomenon. Even new roads are already covered with sand and pure water sachets? Before the rains begin, they will fill the new drainage channels with refuse to guarantee that the drainage channels will not work. This street trading menace and refuse disposal onto the streets and gutters have to be addressed before we can have a decent environment.

Kepukepu:
Anambra1stSonTV with another moniker 😂
What a shame.

One hopes that this isn't kepukepu TV. Otherwise, one is truly shocked why a potentially progressive-minded person praising the good governance of Dr. Alex Otti would suddenly do the opposite in Anambra! That has got to be impossible unless the dude is an animal without any sense whatsoever to realize that just as good governance in Abia and the development of Aba positively improves the business climate and the standard of living in the eastern region, the same is true about the indirect impact of good governance in Anambra or the development of Onitsha to the wider region. How difficult is that to see except if you are dealing with wild animals?

How difficult is it for some of these touts to realize that the businesses in Onitsha and Aba are mainly owned by Igbo people from all over and not just by Onitsha or Ngwa people? The same people troop like refugees into Lagos due to its conducive business environment and good infrastructure to do business. Then they shout when their businesses are destroyed in Lagos or the north because they are targeted as people from the eastern region who are not welcome in those Nigerian regions. Yet the same people oppose the creation of an enabling environment in their own region if it is not their state. Yet, the same people will be wasting their time shouting "Biafra"! Biko, you and WHO will be in that sort of "Biafra" where you don't even wish them well while suffering together in Nigeria?

Tufiakwa! God forbid me and such people being in the same country again! If Nigeria must break up, I don't want to share the same country or anything at all with such people who are truly almost animals in reasoning.

Gov. Alex Otti and Gov. Charles Soludo are actually performing extremely well. The fight in NL notwithstanding.
The people we should focus on what they are doing are Pter Mbah, Francis Nwifure and Hope Ozodingba.

Umueme:
Quality of drainage along ph road

Wow, GOD BLESS GOV. ALEX OTTI!

I wonder where he got all the funds for the massive transformations going on in Aba and Umuahia!

Unbiased1:
@bolded, that statement is 100% false. You think people are ganging up against Anambra? This is gross inferiority complex. What then will Abia and Imo indigenes say? For the past 20 years, Imo and Abia have been the most heavily criticised states in the East. Their governors have been the most rediculed governors in Igboland by Igbo people themselves. From Ohakim to Orji Kalu, Okorocha, Theodore Orji, Okezie Ikpeazu and Hope Ozodinma. Despite all these, I've never seen indigenes of these states say other people are ganging up against them. You have to throw emotions aside and look logically at the criticism leveled at Soludo instead of being too emotional. The way Soludo came and with all the high hopes and expectations we had, a vast majority of Ndigbo are disappointed at that man. His projects look mediocre, there is nothing that differentiates him from the previous old crop of politicians with poor taste. Look at the kind of roads he constructs, open gutters everywhere without provisions for them to be covered in the future. I saw your recent video on the inner streets he constructed in Awka and I was laughing at the way you were praising him. The quality of those roads is so mediocre, one would think they were constructed by a member of the house of assembly who has little funds at his disposal. Like someone here already said, we are waiting patiently to see the flyover he is constructing as well as the Solution Fun City (very funny name) so we can rate the quality of those projects.

Oga,
Your analysis is very insincere and you are trying to be smart by half! Anyone who has carefully observed you guys' modus operandi will easily notice what the anti-Anambra agenda is about. Again, I am only glad that Anambra people themselves have finally noticed your agenda and the smokescreen deception used to recruit touts against the progress of the state.

Anambrafirstson is totally right! Who cares if you criticize Soludo or Obiano? They probably won't even listen to you guys. What folks are talking about is your default reaction to any good news from that state and not if you criticized Obi, Obiano, or Soludo. If they build an airport, a stadium, a road, or a conference center, your default negative reaction is exactly the same. If petrol tanker explosion causes fire to engulf a market etc, your celebration will be as though you won a lottery! Your constant negative attitude to any progress in that state is designed to ridicule, dismiss, or falsify the facts through ridiculous rumors! I know how most of you tried and failed to claim that Obiano spent $2billion dollars to build Anambra airport which was unviable in your opinion. Yet, kept mute about other airports built with an even greater amount and still remained non-functional.

Some of you people have a very strong negative agenda against that state! Let us take the last election cycle as a case study. You will vividly notice that you people did not carry out your campaign of "No erecshion in Igboland" or "I tuo votu, i naba ugwu awusa". Even when it was obvious that APC rigged Imo state, none of you raised an eyebrow! If Anambra had been having an election, all you miscreants would be very active to try and suppress the people from voting under the pretext of "No erecshion!" So that the worst candidate would come in.

I just hope that Soludo will continue to eradicate touts and miscreants from the state. Most of those criminal characters are not even from the state. But they will neither pay taxes nor allow any progressive idea in the state. Anambra state must strive to enforce all her laws, especially against touting and street trading. The strategy of those who wish evil for the state is to prevent decency or proper development in the state so that they can continue to run the place with gangs and touts like their personal fiefdom.

Anambra1stSonTV:
Some of our people hearts are full of evil, envy and wickedness, so disheartening seeing their comments on social media, before I fight for united Igbo and try my best fighting for all Igbo states, from what I have seen on different social media platforms their gang up against Anambra has made me to throw that compassion off the window.

GBAM!

Workch:
Nobody is ganging up against Anambra. Obi, Ngige and Obiano all did well, we can see what they did. Anambra is good, thanks to these guys but Soludo has not been contributing his quota efficiently.
The question which you are running away from is simple "what's Soludo doing?" obviously almost nothing.
Go to Soludo's Twitter page, even the good people of anambra are disappointed in him. Are you more Anambra than everyone?
You want to keep defending a shitty governor because you are too emotional about Anambra and its making you lose your sense of reasoning.
Stop being overly emotional, we all want Anambra to grow, it will be our joy to see that Anambra, a part of Igboland is growing. You are the problem, you want us to defend Soludo irrespective and that's not cool.

We are not going to say that Soludo is doing well just to save face and make you happy dude, Igbo people don't behave like that. We igbos are straightforward and we call a spade what it is irrespective of who gets hurt. No Igbo person defended Ikpeazu, no one is defending Uzodinma so why do you want us to defend a shitty Soludo. Won't it be my Joy to see Onitsha very developed and use it to brag to Yoruba people in Lagos?

Soludo no dey try, because we love Anambra, we want you people to kick him out in the next election.

Lol...So now Obiano is finally good to you people? When he was there, you people said all sorts of things to smear him.
My happiness is that you are dealing with people who are wiser than you and easily see through your pretenses. Yeye dey smell!

Chikeluba25:
I thought you said the flyover is abandoned, and you are still looking forward to it's completion??

Interesting. Anambra is really succeeding. And I thank God for Anambrarians spirit of subconsciously helping government to build one mega city state.

Sometimes, I wonder why certain people who call themselves "Igbos" would wish evil for another state in Igboland. It sometimes makes you wonder deeply what would become of "Igbos" if they had a country of their own.

The only reason I "like" the oppression of Nigeria and the effort to chase Igbos out of other people's lands is that somehow it helps Igbo people to gain a bit of sense and ask the crucial question "What is wrong if I develop my land and stop dragging and developing other people's ancestral land??". Otherwise, they would be utterly senseless and continue treating "Igboland" as enemy territory and treat other people's ancestral land as their own.

cadmanspize:
Majority of black people have limited IQ so i'm not suprised by una stance.
soludo is a good economist so i'm sure he's philosophical of human behaviour.

Deliver mediocrity & give 1000 reasons why it's best after okpanssuka.

IPOB pipul and their usual sickness.
Any alternative opinion or idea is because you are either a saboteur or you have a low IQ, unlike you IPOB boys with a high IQ

Meanwhile, the person you are referring to as having a low IQ because he is a black man is a well-respected doctor in America! Even Oyibo people respect him a lot! I have personally met him and often wondered why he followed Nigeria's politics and even had time to post in this thread! But of course, you have a higher IQ than everyone that has a different opinion from yours. Village ndi ala!
Mad people everywhere.

Kigali open drainage gutters. Again notice that they are all clean!

The problem in Nigeria is more about a culture of littering and trashing the environment with refuse all over our cities. Added with the dirty mindset of people believing that if they dump their refuse into gutters, the rain will "carry it away" into the river for them. It's that attitude of the people to dumping waste indiscriminately that we must tackle.

Some Nigerian landlords even clandestinely pipe raw sewage from their houses into the drainage gutters in the street! The government MUST set up a team to find and punish landlords endangering public health by discharging their sewage into street drainage gutters to avoid digging septic tanks in their compounds!

There are open gutters also in America. Especially along roads that are prone to flooding. See a few of them in the pictures below, and notice how clean the environment was despite having open drainage gutters in the area. These same gutter in Nigeria would have been filled with trash by our people! But see how Americans kept their open gutters clean. So to merely assume that open gutters are the reason why our people litter our environment is not correct.

The problem we have with Nigeria is a poor waste management system and a culture of littering the streets by our people.

Kigali Rwanda known as Africa's cleanest city has open drainage gutters everywhere. The difference between Kigali and any Nigerian city is that Nigerian cities are often very very dirty due to littering everywhere with pure water sachets, parking of broken down vehicles on the roads, and building shanties over the gutters for street trading on top of gutters.

Are you saying that Wike is responsible for kidnapping in Abuja?

Digitron:
PN Mbah's road.... keep Calm, we are coming.

This is just the dawn

I am glad to see that Mbah has started working. Like Dr. Chris Ngige, Peter Mbah had too many question marks on how he found himself in the Lion building. Ngige later became a hero of the people due to his massive infrastructural transformation. Ngige would have easily won a second term if he had not been sacked by the Supreme Court.

Therefore, Peter Mbah must utilize the opportunity to serve and demonstrate that he is indeed competent and craves the development of Enugu! So the people will say they were wrong for judging him due to the Buffon Ugwuanyi who presented him to the people.

If Mbah makes the mistake of not aligning the people to his side through a massive infrastructural transformation of Enugu city in particular and the state in general to the next level, it will be a very sad missed opportunity for him.

oilykid:
They said that alot is happening under mbah tho

I also hear this "a lot is happening under Mbah". But why isn't anyone posting these "roads" that Mbah is doing?

At least we see daily the fantastic works of Gov. Otti in Aba and Umuahia. We see Soludo's exploits in Onitsha and Awka. Even Nwifuru's roads in Abakaliki and the total reconstruction of the Okadigbo International Airport runway Abakaliki are there for the public to see.

I'm just wondering why we hear so much rumors that Mbah is doing major roads reconstructions in Enugu, but never see any pictural evidence of these projects anywhere. Even in this thread!

Enemyofpeace:
Japan fixed this road within one week. How long would it take your state or country to fix it?

In nigeria, they will FIRSTLY verify the state of origin and religion of the owners of buildings on the street. Before the government will decide if they should fix it or leave it like that. However, if they find that the majority of building owners on that street are indeed from their tribe, then the corruption of putting the project in every budget for the next 30 years will start.

To put it into context, about 80% of the 40-year-old people who were alive when it happened will never be alive to witness the day it will be finally fixed.
