Anambra State govt. set to construct over 10,000 housing estates


The State government says it plans to commence the construction of ten thousand affordable housing units in each of the three senatorial districts of the Anambra State.
Disclosing this to the ABS in Awka, the Commissioner for Housing, Mr. Frank-Emeka Offor, said a team of Irish Investors who would execute the projects are already in the state to sign a memorandum of understanding, MOU, with the state government.
Mr. Offor called on communities in the three Senatorial districts to donate land for the project, pointing out that increased interest of foreign investors in the state was due to the security initiative of the Governor Obiano led-administration as well as its liberal socio-economic development policies.
He also said that in line with the policy of the present state government to continue, complete and commission projects inherited from previous administrations, the Ministry of Housing would sustain and enhance basic infrastructure in government sponsored housing estates across the state, as well start new ones.
Mr. Offor further said that serious efforts are being made toward rapid completion of the hotel and shopping mall complexes in Awka, Nnewi and Onitsha.

So I was just ransackin' the house for no reason per se, and I came across it, sat down for like 3 minutes to think about how Nigeria was then; No idea. . . my parents never even marry then, talk less of born me.

warrior01:
This is so disheartening as the injustice continues where even a female child from Anambra has to score 66 and above to get admission while a child from sokoto has to score only 7 to get same. Is it fair? Where is the merit in this case?

I will use this opportunity to not just to address your concerns but to also clarify the current economic state of Igbos in Nigeria.

If Nigeria manages to stay together, Igbos will totally dominate its economy. The current economic trend proves it. This is the reason why Yorubas get frustrated and angry towards Igbos because they see what's coming. So, "one Nigeria" is becoming a curse for them because they never imagined that Igbos will come back and compete with them and win.

If Nigeria breaks up, it's gets a little tricky but the situation will still be in the favor of Igbos because it will now be an international relation between the two countries. The laws of ECOWAS and UN technically should protect Igbo investments in Nigeria. This means that it will be illegal to specifically target Igbo/biafran investments in Nigeria. IF that ever happens, it will crush investor confidence in the Nigerian struggling economy and will affect its relationship with rest of west African countries who can do the same to Nigerian citizens if they choose to.

Even if Nigerian government was successful at taking away all Igbo investments (mostly houses)in the former Nigeria, the level of capital and human flight the Nigerian economy will experience will be immense that it will crush whatever remains of it's economy. Stealing Igbos houses will never make the thief rich. The abandoned property saga is proof because most of the people who stole Igbos houses in portharcourt are still very poor today.

With all these said, I am not in any way encouraging Igbo businessmen to keep investing outside their homeland. All I am saying is that they should find creative ways to invest at home and spread their eggs in different basket. They can invest in Agriculture, Transport, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Housing and Comercial real estate, Tourism, Education etc. All these economic sectors can make an Igbo businessman good money in the east.

In conclusion, I am saying all these things because I want to make sure Igbos understand that they are at economic advantage and that advantage can be much stronger if they start investing at home. The reason I am optimistic is that Igbo sons and daughters for the most part have gotten the message. That's why we're experiencing the current real estate boom in the east that is not being witnessed in other parts of Nigeria outside Abuja and Lagos. Now other sectors are beginning to see investments. Anambra and Enugu are the best examples of what I am talking about.

NAIJASOM:
Most Igbos have finally gotten the message which is to have some investment at home. This can be seen mostly in the real-eatate sector. That's why we are having a massive housing boom in the east but you can't say the same for the rest of Nigeria minus Lagos and Abuja.

Igbos, especially this young generation (18-40 yrs),have finally understood that there is no place like home. This generation is so politically aware and very pro-Igbo in their thinking. Give Igbo land another 10 years and it will be filled with indigenous industries and investments. I can bet my money on that as long as the current way of thinking continues.

BH, the more they kill them, the more brutal they get. We'll see the ripple effect on the price of beef in market




That's one of the poisoned water by BH. Cows were unknowingly led to the river by the herdsmen. And what you see is what happens to cows after drinking the poisoned water.

So the trains are working?

I stay in akpaka and believe me, there are equally very awesome houses nd stuff there, but am not a photographer.. I mean where will I stand and from what angle.. infact I dunno how you guys do It.

Anyway i want to use this medium to beg anambra state government to build the road there.. that place is too good to have such bad roads, I cud post some pics of the road here but its just too nasty especially in this rainy season.

Peter obi started the road construction after every landlord was made to pay 500k per plot and still he abandoned the road and left with our money. They just dug the gutters and messed up the whole place since two years ago and since then na so so suffer. Obiano came, re-flagged off the project YET no sign of constructors.

If I start telling stories of everything that has transpired all because of that road then I wont sleep this night.
Pls abeg biko.. that road is long overdue for construction, make una help me reach anybody that can help. God bless you as you do.

Food and lack of access to the sea/port is what killed Biafra, it's the same reason why people are running away and building castles in foreign lands. Until there is a viable port in Igboland, Igbo people won't come back and that's just practical.

spyder880:
I cannot claim my stats are accurate but I think Ngwo town has more poultry farms than most Igbo towns. I can count at least 10 big farms with more than 20,000 birds dropping eggs daily, all for commercial income, especially at the hilly Enugu Ngwo villages. Phinomar and Ozokwo farms lead the pack, with more than 30 others.

OreMI22:
I am not sure about your president.
He is too clannish and sectional to wish any good for SE talk-more of doing.

As for AIIA, there are ongoing attempts to frustrate traders using that airport and then get the airline to back-off due to low patronage. I just hope our people keep doing what they need to do and keep using the airport so that more airlines begin using the airport. Although I doubt they will permit any other airline to ply Enugu route. They want to frustrate ET out of the route.

May god give our governor the wisdom to carry on and dream big dreams.
Hoping on the FG under APC to do anything positive in the SE is like waiting for a chicken to urinate.

BuddahMonk:
Yes much is not happening in industrial Enugu, real estate could be the highest contributor to Enugu GDP I stand to be corrected as well.

AVOP need to be revive to put check to Okomu oil dominating the palm oil market currently, fruit juice company need to set up for the pineapple plantation that is going on in Enugu.

Enugu is in the center of food producing areas of Nigeria, Benue, Ebonyi and Kogi State are very closer to Enugu so the need for evacuation of farm produce wouldn't take that long to do.

Enugu need to be processing those foods being grown around her and sell to those place around her like Abia, Anambra, Imo, Rivers and Delta State.

Food processing will be very lucrative in Enugu because of proximity to source of raw materials and markets aswell.
