Politics › Re: EFCC Transfers Obiano To Abuja After Arrest by Cjrane2: 10:56am On Mar 18, 2022

EFCC has had more than 6 months to "investigate" Obiano. They should charge him to court if they have proof of any misuse of public funds, and stop abusing his rights.

The way that EFCC targets southerners, even those who have tangible achievements in office while turning a blind eye on Fulani politicians robbing all the government offices and even those caught on camera taking bribes are said to be a film trick must be addressed soon in this country.

When i see how over-confidence took Russia into a conflict with poor and weak Ukraine, i remember our own Fulanis that are over-confident about wars.

Russia will likely destroy itself, it's military and its economy by foolishly attacking a "weak" Ukraine because it thought it had multiple armored tanks, warplanes, artillery and soldiers more than weak Ukraine could ever have.

In the same manner, Nigerian Fulani leaders see war outcome as merely who has more planes, tanks, and artillery at the start of the war. Therefore, there is a ruinous over-confidence to rush to war at the slightest opportunity instead of dialogue.

Russia will learn the bitter lessons of the Romans, the Nazis, and all other mighty empires in history. War isn't always a straightforward affair.

Sir,

I don't know where you came from. I have never read your comment here. I just want you to know that faceless people like you cannot cajole me away from pushing for a glorious Anambra state. I know Prof Soludo means every word to do his best for Anambra state. We shall pray for him and always remind him of his promises in order to sustain his morale to do the difficult job necessary in liberating Anambra state.

I support and have always supported Prof Soludo. While very much aware that to build a prosperous and liveable Anambra state, he must be ready to confront those powerful forces currently benefiting from the use of thugs to steal our IGR and stifle development in the state. Some of these men are the first to buy him 10 pages congratulatory messages on the pages of newspapers and throw parties in his honor at every juncture. We know Prof Soludo means well for our people. However, the trappings of power and the master treachery of those who know how to use it can prevent one from doing what is right. Even when he intended to do so.

We shall be HERE to remind him and point out his promises if he ever grows soft on doing what is necessary to salvage and transform Anambra state. It is NOT going to be easy. But we shall support him in prayers and always remind him of his mission so that he does not give up when the going gets tough.

GBAM! Excellently said.

Soludo should know that the men he is up against are extremely wealthy men who are masters of deceit. They have already started trying to undermine his political base by creating an artificial rift between him and APGA leadership. They know the game they are playing! The same people that praised Peter Obi to high heavens and immediately switched to Obiano afterward have already switched to his praise as the best thing to ever happen on earth. Idi Amin called them "slippery characters" and he is aptly correct in that description.

Soludo must shine his eyes very well! The enemies of Anambra state do not live in the moon. They are all-powerful Judases around him and gradually trying to make him think everyone is bad except themselves. He should expect betrayals from these men when they fail in their plot to manipulate him into "Us" versus "Them" camps in order to insulate their evil stranglehold from Soludo's reforms to liberate the state.

But if Soludo remains steadfast in pursuing his principal goal of a prosperous and liveable Anambra state, all loyal citizens of the state will back him against these highly treacherous people lurking around the corners to somehow use praise and vanity to weaken his resolve to go against people who have pocketed the state and frustrated meaningful development.

I was just saying this on the imo thread, if project A is done in Ebonyi/Imo/Enugu they will praise it to high heavens and then turn around to tell us why we don't need same project A in Anambra. When Anambra was buiding an airport, they were all over the place telling us why Anambra doesnt need an airport, now they are telling us to wait until Umahi finishes his airport to see quality.. That was why they were very happy and started circulating pics of some roofs in the Airport being blown away by winds.
The reason most of them hate Obiano is because he dared to give Anambra such projects that they don't have in their states. Even Umahi they praise is always copying Obiano for reason I don't know, he started his flyovers after Obiano did Awka flyovers, started Ebonyi Airport after Obiano launched Anambra Airport, now starting an Olympic stadium after the Awka Stadium. While Obiano has completed all his ptojects lets see how many Umahi will complete.

Obiano's projects and achievements are very tangible things that nobody can deny exist. Else, the opposition would have denied all of them.

Umahi copies Obiano because he wants to surpass him and somehow prove that Ebonyi is more developed than Anambra. I support such healthy competition as long as it promotes the development of Igboland.

Good evening guys!

Please I beg you in the name of whatever you serve, don't derail this thread by turning it to tribal fights. I want us to learn and want others to learn also.

I am Yoruba and this thread is for us to learn.

First of all, everyone here knows I dislike Tinubu and all that he represents. The simple reason is because he was majorly the brain behind the coalition that brought in the present government into power.

GEJ's government had a lot of goodwill coming into power but his tenure was wasteful and millions of us thought Buhari would do better. We voted enmasse for Buhari/Osinbajo but alas, it turned out to be the worst ever decision by many. We were simply deceived.

Things have gone from Bad to worst in the last 7 years and most of those (Tinubu, Bakare, etc.) that Protested and rallied people against GEJs government see nothing wrong with it. So to me, Tinubu can't bring in an evil government, stay silent for 8 years and then convince me he's the best thing we need. NEVER

I mostly live in the SS and the people of the place have long moved on from the the defeat of their "son". The region even seem more peaceful now than when GEJ was in power.

I do not want to believe it's ethnic hatred for Yorubas like some people always say because Obasanjo is Yoruba. He was president for 8 years, he has always spoken against Biafra, he fought in the civil war but yet Igbos like him more than Yorubas or so it seem. This might be disputed but we all know he enjoyed massive votes from SE compared to the SW where he hails from.

So, to my South East guys... Do we share the same sentiments? Do you dislike Tinubu for his role in bringing in this government or are there other reasons? None of my friends offline have given me clear cut reason hence the reason why I brought it here.

The fact that Eko Intl. Conference center was attached to Eko Hotels and Suites is the reason it has survived and remained well-maintained to date.

Prof Soludo must not allow the Awka ICC edifice to rot away by not attaching its management to a 4 - 5 star hotel to diligently maintain it in a pristine state always. A 4 - star hotel with a similar capacity as Eko hotels & Suites inside the Awka International Conference arena is needed to oversee the daily maintenance of the edifice. Else, it will fall into disrepair within one or two years.

So stop arguing pointlessly that Russia can withstand western sanctions. It simply cannot!

By the way, stop adding "Igbo" to your Pro-Russian defense. Russia was the prime superpower that gave Nigeria MIG and Ilyushin bombers to do in Biafra exactly what they are doing in Ukraine today.

The venue of the meeting was still inside the International Convention Center!!!

Now Anambra has a befitting venue for big or small gatherings. I just hope that Prof Soludo will expedite the construction of the International Convention Center Hotel so that staff working in the hotel can be used to regularly clean and maintain the ICC edifice. Else, it will surely become a junkyard in a few years like every Nigerian edifice built without a solid maintenance plan.

Exactly!

Just like Eko International Convention Center and the Lagos Sheraton International convention centers retained their pristine condition due to being attached and maintained by the staff of a major 5-star hotel.

Unless the accompanying hotel is built for the Awka International Convention Center, it will ultimately fall into disrepair and be abandoned. The average civil servant does not know how to sweep and mop a cement office floor where they work every day. Thus, giving them granite marble to maintain is just asking for the impossible.

They just insult, maim and kill anyone who doesn't agree with their regressive and devilish views.

I pray to God that this ESN terrorism ends in the South East one day, that peace may return. Amen.

As much as these IPOB and ESN miscreants are a bunch of dumb, unemployed thugs, it is obvious that some of the crimes they are accused of are being perpetrated by Fulani-dominated security forces and DSS.

In this thread too, you have used more than 3 accounts to write the same poor English grammar trying to blame IPOB for these crimes. The worst part is that you pretend not to know that it is the federal government that controls all the security forces in Nigeria. Therefore, how could you blame the governor who cannot control the state Commissioner of Police or the various federal government military and para-military forces all over the place?

Thus, you give your true identities out by carrying out a futile media war against IPOB, Igbo people, and the SE state governors. You will simply continue to fail because people already know for themselves what the plan of the Fulanis is for the southeast region. Continue wasting your time with multiple monikers arguing what is totally senseless. It does not make any discerning individual believe your falsehoods.

If you know any body that traveled out of Anambra on Sunday through Niger bridge; ask him/her how many hours he spent in traffic gridlock before he could cross over to Asaba due to massive migration out of Anambra.
The worst of it all is that the people enforcing this sit at home are criminals and jobless agberos who are taking advantage of the sit at home order to commit crime, covered by IPOB immunity
I'm sure you are aware of the two that were killed in Onitsha by mob, if they had succeeded, I know many people will be blaming their victims (whether dead or alive) for not obeying the sit @home order while they hail the evil doers (supposed ESN officers) for enforcing IPOB sit at home order.

If there is a way Nigerians can claim the oxygen in the air only benefits Igbos, they would say it!

If national infrastructure is built and it passes anywhere at all in the east, they would over-flog it as though it was something done specifically only for the local place where it passed.

I have NEVER heard the level of rhetoric on this Niger bridge about how The Ajaokuta bridge, River Kaduna Bridge, River Benue Bridge, or even the 3rd Mainland bridge benefits only the state where the bridge is built and not all the Nigerians using it to travel around the country!

Meanwhile, the Niger Bridge is built between 2 state boundaries! Not even totally contained within one state!

My brother, you are absolutely right. The tempo of development at the airport has drastically slowed. The only noticeable improvement is that they appeared to have swept the internal road and car park. They also put up directional road signs and signs to remind folks to wear seat belts and labeled the power station building.

One hopes that sweeping the internal roads mean they will finally mark the roads properly. Not marking a road properly after construction is like not painting a house after plastering. Even if you live in such a house for 100 years, it will always appear somewhat uncompleted. That is why properly marking the approach main dual-carriageway all the way to the internal roads within the airport is very important. Especially as this is an international airport where we expect visitors to form their first impression of Nigeria. Also marking the main access roads could help attract the right types of individuals to invest in the appropriate buildings required along that dual-carriage way.

O'l boy, I love this picture!

Hopefully, Engineer Marcel Ifejiofor will see it and do the needful. He appears to be the only Commissioner that is result-oriented and will go the extra mile to bullishly get things done. Hopefully, Soludo will retain that guy for a while.

I think a Governor's ultimate infrastructural achievement often depends on the character of who becomes their Commissioner of Works and Housing. If you have lazy people in this vital ministry, you will reap a mountain of excuses and achieve absolutely nothing for all the money spent.

You’d do well to leave IPOB alone! They rescinded their call for the boycott of the just concluded Anambra elections, which shows they’re not as autocratic and unlistening as some of you are trying to portray them!

This is a group that the despotic and murderous Buhari thugs kidnapped and illegally rendered from Kenya back to Nigeria....purportedly to ‘face justice’! We all are witnesses to how Buhari -that recently laughably claims to respect the rule of law- is flouting judges orders on respect for Mazi Kanus rights while in detention....as well as using delay tactics and outright illegality to delay commencement of the case proper! One would have thought they’re sure of their case against him and are eager to see him ‘convicted and sentenced’ for the trumped-up charges they have against him!

Knowing all this....and seeing the way the Buhari junta have marginalised, cheated, humiliated and murdered Igbos in cold-blood, one would have hoped that you, a Igbo man (as you claim), would understand IPOBs position even if you don’t support their pronouncements! Even i didn’t support their initial call for the boycott of the Anambra elections, and i made my position clear at the time. But what you wouldn’t see me as a Igbo man do is try to mock or ridicule them on Nigerian social-media, knowing this dissension and division amongst us is exactly what Igbo-hating bigots are going for!

No matter the justifications for the IPOB's struggle and how appropriate it is in the present situation. If IPOB does not issue a sit-at-home order and campaign for "No Elections" in specifically Imo, Abia, and Ebonyi the way it vigorously did in 2017 and 2021 in Anambra, it would be obvious the organization has a rabid anti-Anambra agenda.

People noticed that IPOB conveniently forgot or refused to disturb or threaten Imo and Abia elections in 2019 and complained about the partiality. If they do it again, it will be clear that their target is only Anambra.

If you consider the population of Anambra in Igboland, you will agree with me that IPOB has scored an own goal by negatively targeting only that state.

I hope more Nigerian celebrities especially those of Igbo descent will secure locations for their new choice mansions at the AMC. In the same way they rushed land in banana island just because Davido, Whiz kid and Olamide were supporting the development of banana island then.

They should also reach out to Davido, Olamide and other less tribalistic Nigerian celebrities to come and be part of it.

Although they are unlikely to invest because people are not sure about what will happen to their property if Nigeria breaks. But they may truly invest the way i see the detribalised celebrities.

At least, I am working for the good of my state and the overall good of Igboland by extension. ...and doing it all the way from the United States!

You left your state and came to Anambra to do IPOB and ESN. Endlessly arguing for IPOB ideology in Anambra thread instead of IMO or Abia thread!

The funniest part is that you shameless people have the effrontery to demand what the elected Anambra leaders must do for IPOD. After doing all in your power to frustrate elections in my state! I don't have time for you IPOB pigs! I also will not be responding or joining issues with half illiterates that don't know when to use uppercase in a sentence. SMH.

Ndo nu!

Nwanne, calm down. I feel your outrage too. Anyone who does not agree with their methods is a sabo or must be working for the government. There are two schools of thought on this issue. The first school of thought wants the total destruction of Biafraland and the death of every Biafran if that is what it takes for Biafra to emerge. The second school of thought wants the development of Biafraland and a democratic approach to the struggle using non-violent means.

I also subscribe with the latter and disagree with the criminality going on in Imo state in the name of Biafra. However, I don't blame the youths nor do I blame Nnamdi Kanu. Although I think his utter contempt and disregard for Igbo elders and Igbo leaders or anybody whatsoever that holds any contrary opinion is the reason he fell into the trap of being lured to Kenya and the current state of the struggle today as a result of that mistake.

Like MNK and IPOB, Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge were of the opinion that in order to kill corruption and materialism, every corrupt, wealthy or materialistic Cambodian had to be killed. So as to usher in a new generation of Cambodians with the mindset of extreme communism, lack of any desire for profit-making / corruption in the new population.

Pol Pot was wrong because he failed to realize that every vice was learned and therefore, even some of those who will be born in the next 20 years, will be corrupt or armed robbers! That is why I always tell my Biafran brothers that we must fix our homeland first and promote pan-Igbo unity. The idea of destroying everything we have in the belief that once we get Biafra every vice will magically disappear and our homeland would magically develop itself is totally mistaken. Just like Pol Pot was mistaken to believe that killing every corrupt or rich Cambodian and not building strong anti-corruption institutions to punish corrupt people, was the best way to fight corruption. It is even more funny when you view that Cambodia today ranks among the most corrupt countries on earth! After all the ill-advised killings of its business community and wealthy citizens! Let our brothers understand that you can develop your homeland as you struggle to get your freedom.

I love the fact that Obiano commissioned this project on December 28th, 2021 as promised.

As he already indicated, whatever work is still outstanding will continue after the commissioning. This means the car park and other works can continue.

Monimichelle really delayed this project hoping for endless contract reviews, and almost messed Obiano up. Using the oldest trick employed by a typical Nigerian contractor which is to give a litany of excuses why nothing was done so as to endlessly delay the completion of a project and thus demand upwards review of contracts due to inflation. My regret is that Monimichelle was rewarded by giving them the maintenance contract for the pitch.

Hopefully, they will acquire adequate land along the new Anambra Intl. airport dual carriageway to build the Olympic Anambra international stadium. That site will be the best location for the state's Olympic stadium as it will be easily accessible and almost equidistant from Awka or Onitsha. The Awka City Stadium will continue to be used for sports development for the number of years that the new state Olympic stadium is under construction.

Like Ebonyi state is building its Olympic stadium in the Ochiudo city even though it has a basic stadium within Abakaliki city. It will cost about the same to build the Anambra international stadium, than to add up to 30,000 sitting capacity in the Awka City stadium. Moreover, it allows Anambra to have a standard stadium in Awka and an International Olympic stadium for hosting major sporting events in one arena.

Totally true and very aptly said!

An international stadium like the Uyo or Abuja stadium is something planned and executed from the scratch! Everything will have a designated area from the original master plan. If you want it to be a sports complex, then everything from the swimming pool to the indoor sports center will have to be designated in the plan to succeed.

Upgrading existing stadium costs a lot of money and you still wouldn't get the high standard of an international stadium built from the scratch with one plan. If they tell you how much was used in upgrading and adding seats to the Stephen Keshi Stadium, you would ask why Delta did not just build a brand new stadium of international standard.

the way you guys hype this millennium city. I expect to see buildings.. If they can't concentrate on the landscaping and opening it up for people to build they should ease on the hype..

@ bolded, I agree with you that only landscaping will make the AMC be an ordinary or extra-ordinary estate.

Kigali isn't such a great African city because it has better or taller buildings than Abuja, Lagos or Accra. Kigali simply made a decision to massively PLANT TREES AND FLOWERS. Thus, it transformed itself from a dusty city to a huge garden city virtually overnight.

So landscaping is everything! Just that our people are still hyper-focused on only concrete structures and sculptures. Landscaping is the key to creating an ambient extra-ordinary environment.
