Major roundabout: Naira Triangle.

Naira triangle should not just be left bare. It should have been developed into a great public park resembling the Port Harcourt Pleasure park or the pictures below of parks surrounded by roads as a major tourist attraction in Enugu. Where residents and tourists can come hang out in a serene environment in the middle of the city.

The park will generate revenue for the state as a token should be paid to enter the park or to park your car within the park through approved gates. The businesses licensed to operate within the park will pay taxes to the state government which will also generate revenue for the state.

Little walk-ways should be built around the park so that people who like to jog can go there and jog or walk round as many times as they like.
A small section is built for those who want to watch live entertainment and a little section reserved for children playground.

Perhaps why people don't know about these flyovers and tunnels is that they are not beautified as they should to showcase the city.

I am appealing to Enugu state government to beautify ALL flyovers, tunnels and Naira Triangle in Enugu the way Anambra beautified Upper Iweka and Inosi Onira roundabout.

Please expel miscreants from these flyovers and plant trees and flowers in the ramp of all of them!

To rest this issue that Enugu does not have any flyovers, i will post the multiple flyovers connecting different parts of the city here.

The only thing i am begging Enugu state government to do is to beautify ALL flyovers, tunnels and Naira Triangle in Enugu the way Anambra beautified Upper Iweka and Inosi Onira roundabout.

Please expel miscreants from these flyovers and plant trees and flowers in the ramp of all of them!

Look at Gariki flyover, Ugwuaji flyover or Agbani road flyover, they all have all sorts of illegal structures within the ramp housing all sorts of miscreants and criminals. These types of things should not be condoned by government and should be cleared and beautified for benefit of the state.

I don't consider google a credible source.

However, official World Bank data in 2016 shows (SOURCE: World Bank: https://data.worldbank.org/?locations=EG-NG);

Nigeria's GDP at $404.6 billion dollars
Egypt's GDP at $332.9 billion dollars

We know Nigeria has had a recession from 2016 until 1st quarter of 2018 when we grew at 0.5%, and Egypt has grown by average of above 4% per year since 2016.

It is quite possible they have surpassed us as the CIA official data tends to portray.

In a few months, we shall know the truth where the numbers actually stand in 2018.

I have said it that if we get every SE city to have the basic planning and roads infrastructure in Enugu, the region will be a medium developed country. What Enugu lacks is how to bring and keep businesses in the city NOT flyovers or roads.

Epileptic Telecom Data Services In The South East

By Uche Nworah

Our brothers and sisters that have a big say in telecom in Nigeria, please use your different platforms to push for wider and faster data coverage in the South East (SE). If nothing is urgently done, SE economies will be left- behind economies in the present 4th industrial revolution.

If you live and work in the SE like I do, you will understand what I am talking about. It’s like there is a conspiracy among the telcos to deny the SE fast and wider data and internet coverage.

You have to move from one location to another in some circumstances and in some places to access the internet on your phone, and when you do, the speed can give you a heart attack.

Issues to address include availability, coverage and speed. Cost is a different ball game for the millions of SE youths that are either unemployed or underemployed, and are needed to power the SE economies tech wise.

I have been so frustrated that in the last 2 years alone, I have had to port my numbers twice, the latest being yesterday but still no respite. How can SE youths and companies compete with their counterparts when something as simple as accessing speedy internet as and when is still a nightmare? Is it in such circumstances that they can learn to code, develop apps, and be part of the tech ecosystem (hubs, start-ups etc). Must Lagos win all the time? Must SE youths all migrate to Lagos to be part of the 4th industrial revolution? Must we condemn our young people to a life of selling wares at Ochanja main market when there is a wider market on the internet waiting for them?

For example, in my line of work, we constantly battle with poor internet connection which hinders our content uploads, Facebook live broadcasts etc thus giving our competitors in the West an unfair advantage.

Biko nu tinye nu onu na this matter. Save our souls in the South East.

Uche Nworah is MD/CEO of Anambra Broadcasting Service. uchenworah@yahoo.com

Since Uche Nworah is the ABS MD, create a TV program called Improving internet infrastructure in the SE, the story of XYZ telecoms company.

Approach telecoms companies in the zone such as Airtel and then, if they deploy fast speed internet facilities in the SE, you will have ABS staff pursue their development and broadcast it several times on the airwaves.

That way, you will help them showcase their good work and get more customers.

If telecoms companies notice they are losing clients in a certain area due to poor service, they will buckle up.

Any company providing unlimited, cheap monthly internet data plan should be promoted relentlessly by ABS radio and TV for a fraction of the advertisement price, using jingles and songs played repeatedly to encourage people to patronize that company.

He ONLY authorized international flight in Enugu, while he built the Kaduna new terminal, Kano new terminal buildings and indeed new brand new terminal buildings in all northern airports! He facilitated more airlines coming into Kano intl, yet you guys are so hateful.

Jonathan was from Bayelsa, yet invested in northern airports!

What can any airport in southern Nigeria say they have benefited from this northern President? He is keen on reversing the achievements of other Presidents on southern airports.

Anambra's works commissioner is not an engineer that is why all their projects are of very poor standard. The "mgbidi jericho" at awka which has now reduced everything in Enugu to "mere brigdes" is both architectural and structural misfit that has been undergoing "patch patch" and later barricaded. The worst is that obiano will be going there to snap pictures everyday claiming to be "inspecting"

Each time i see them packing sand into an erosion area to fill it up without working on slowing down the speed of runoff flood water or rechanneling the water to a safer route, it breaks my heart the type of engineers we have now. It is like throwing firewood inside fire and hoping to stop the fire. The fire will simply consume the firewood.

Water will always wash out soil unless you slow the speed of the water! Instead of packing sand into gullies, go in there and construct flood speed breakers! The water channel is still open for the flood to pass, but will not continue as erosion.

Instead of packing sand into an erosion channel, they should build speed breakers that will ensure water flows through the gullies but not at speeds that cause erosion.

Igbo cities must begin to appreciate nature and balance.

There is no reason why we live in the rain-forest belt where trees and flowers will grow in their natural forms and most of our cities still look like Agadez in Niger Republic or some desert town because we hate to plant flowers and trees to make the air we breathe cleaner and safeguard our environment.

The pictures below show how planting enough trees and flowers can modify and environment and make the whole area habitable and healthy for everyone to live. In many Igbo urban centers today, you can actually smell diesel in the air just like many parts of Lagos.

They are laying granite before they will start the actual tarring.

This is good that they are making the road surface stronger.

The problem with our engineers is that they have not learnt the principle that drives erosion, so they always focus on road surface instead of reducing the SPEED OF WATER RUNOFF.

Americans and people in advanced countries their engineers already know that flood water must NEVER fall from a height to a bare ground, else it will lead to a massive erosion. In Nigeria, our half-baked engineers build roads and channel the drainage water to the bush knowing that there is a valley in the bush and water runoff will probably drop at great speed on that portion. They abandon that it and only after a few months of rain, the erosion created is enough to threaten the roads.

Our engineers need to know that once the see that water will drop from a height, that areas the water is expected to drop must be reinforced with concrete encasement and effort made to slow the speed of the runoff flood water.

We must learn how to slow that runoff water in gully erosions in the second picture

Where did they find the space for that?

Still a lot of undeveloped space at the mall.The mall was supposed to have two tall buildings on the entrance side by the Crunchies restaurant. See original Mall development plan below.

They never finished the mall to its designed specifications and i wish they do that and rent the buildings out to act as a modern business edifices for Enugu. Banks and other businesses will love to be i such buildings in a prime area.

The difference between Oyibo man and African is that oyibo man will develop those adjacent properties and rent them out and perhaps use the ground floor as events center for weddings etc. The money generated by those buildings will act as security in case the mall does not yield expected dividend.

Let us imagine for a minute that FG is sincere with rehabilitation of Enugu Intl, airport.

1. It will like it did in Abuja find an alternative nearest airport (Sam Mbakwe International Cargo airport, Owerri) and rehabilitate it as it did for Kaduna Intl airport to take the diverted flights from Abuja.

2. It will fix and announce the date which the airport must re-open as it did for Abuja airport. It will not hide under "Rehabilitation" to close the airport indefinitely.

3. It will ensure Enugu passesngers experience minimum discomfort by providing buses to shuttle them from Owerri Intl airport back to Enugu as it provided buses for Abuja passengers landed in Kaduna.

But, i can tell you what the FG is planning is to
1. Close Enugu international airport indefinitely

2. Divert the already scheduled flights to Lagos and abandon the passengers in Lagos to find their way

3. Will not announce when the airport must re-open, nor prepare the closest airport in Owerri to take the diversion, instead they will keep Enugu international airport closed indefinitely until nobody remember to ever book a flight to Enugu or the airline gives up.
