Enough of the cows. Can somebody confirm that Chief Peter Obi was not in London as at the time of Mrs Dieziani Allison - Madueke's arrest because that would be a dent on the image of the Saint

OdenigboAroli:


Obi did a lot with very little fund,so, I expect Obiano to do better

How much did you sell your conscience to spit things like this?
A lot with very little fund indeed

Each State in the region has its areas of comparative advantage which it could fully exploit , however, there still areas of cooperation and partnership with other states. It is near impossible to export Anambra oil without tackling the issue of accessibility to the Ocean, alternatively is to have pipelines all the way to the coast. The challenges with pipeline construction and militia interference is unpredictable, creating understanding with neighboring states will help so much

There has been deliberate attempt to landlock the SE region by the Hausa- fulani mappers. Abia State is the closest we have to the Atlantic Ocean but a small portion of AkwaIbom lies between, we could reach out to our brothers there to discuss the possibility of building a Canale /Channel through to Abia circumventing the Andoni axis. It is by far cheaper to build a Channel than all the other proposed alternatives
I realized we could also have mini dams at our small rivers with capability of generating 0.25-1mw of electricity for communities/ hamlets even medium industries in the SE ; with the developments and improvements in turbine technology
Discussions like that, I expect Anambra to lead the rest of the SouthEast and luckily we have a technocrat as governor

This anti-corruption war is purely selective. Tinubu, Oshiomole, Rochas, Amaechi, Obasanjo and others should also be scrutinized

The solution to waste management in largely populated areas is to reawaken people's consciousness that waste is money. Partnering with the Germans and the Japanese on this will be great. They are a success in churning rubbish to multi million dollars ventures. Funnily enough the recycle plant get its raw material(waste) free of charge
I've been studying the feasibility of turning my sewage tank to biogas for electricity generation. One group is promoting that although I'm yet to be convinced of its sustainability. I mean beyond the video clip demonstrations

Obiano Meeting With Traditional Rulers of Anambra State on Matters concerning Security of Lives & Property during This Coming Season!.

This meeting is long over due, It appears we are not improving on the gains made so far.
Hardly a day we don't have news of snatching phones and valuables at Upper Iweka some of the touts and hoodlums have the audacity to operating as early as seven in the evenings.
There should be as a matter of urgency a well organized mop up of those homeless hoodlums loitering around Upper Iweka. Security agencies should wake up
The hoodlums are back for REAL

Those who believed the amount brandished by Obi as the income of the State during his tenure are the most gullible species.
Mr Peter was clever by half, worked very hard at concealing his steps. First, he painted a picture of himself as a Saint and hung a portrait of a wretched Anambra State before the Donor agencies.
He worked his way into the team at the Federal level, held clandestine meetings, got his share of all the shareables. Made so much from disbursements of GEJ campaign funds where he served more or less as the accountant
Finally, piling the thick fogs over the eyes of many via his claimed seventy-five billion leftover without at the same time telling us what part of it was meant to offset the Contractual agreement in the projects he hurriedly started before leaving office
By the time, the antigraft searchlight is beamed at the Crook not many will be surprised knowing his antecedents and unquenchable taste to be listed in the league of humble billionaires. I will be delighted to point directions where the EFCC/ICPC should look

I have made attempts at reaching some men close to Obi to plead with him to secretly or if he desires openly return his loots (which were, by the way, massive both at State Level and at Federal level) to Anambra State Government.
Buhari, we all know is a vindictive being and irked by the "primitive" stealing will not spare any particularly those close associates of GEJ who were busy sharing the spoil behind him
The Constitution of Antigraft agencies as it were does not permit the return of confiscated property to the State of Origin (Anambra)

jlinkd78:
and garrulous too. Oshiomole has made a lot of allegations against GEJ which turned out to be unsubstantiable; d $6 billion doc from US officials readily comes to mind

This is not about Oshiomole and his new found love for whistle blowing. It is about some elements who capitalized on GEJ weak points to rip-off the Government

The bogus nature of the terms for the construction of that bridge may have precipitated the rather rash action of PMB in suspending the construction.

1. The 'snailish' pace of work at the site may indirectly suggest that the actual sum for that project may not have been much in excess of 30 billion naira and expectedly will be provided by the Federal Government and the job we have seen so far is how far the 10 billion naira already provided can do

2. That some elements are warming up to make 78 billion naira in the purported BOT scheme, which will see Southeastern and Southern people paying heavily to use that bridge

3. It will be safe to predict that these elements will not hesitate to demolish the existing bridge to force more patronage of the goldmine of a bridge

4. The fact that JB has made itself a willing tool in the hands of men who have sworn to put States in perpetual debt, through quotations for project that make even the quality of projects in Germany jealous

5. Most concession projects in the recent history are replete with the Devils long spoon of the bid winners


The suspension of the project in the interim will give room for investigations and demystifying the project, hopefully the 2nd NB construction will restart in no distant time under terms that will not take our people for a ride

asha80:
that is what you should be talking about..siting their industries,businesses and wealth generating outfits in the east.

Not houses

What industrialists need from Govt.
1. Create accessible industrial layouts and make land acquisition in such places easy, settle the host community and do proper environmental impact assessment
2. De-monster the taxation process
3. Create a board that has both supervisory as well as advisory roles over business est. withno more emphasis on technical assistance to newcomers in terms of educative seminars / conferences
4. Liaising with Federal govt. in ensuring that import waivers are implemented fairly. A situation where Hausas in Nigeria Customs Service implement the policy wholly for their brothers while frustrating Industrialist from other zones should be protested against

OGOg:

Sincerely, I don't c anything wrong in people building residential houses in states outside the eastern region where they reside, my grouse is there decision to site profitable industries and firms outside SE.
I honestly believe that when we talk about " thinking home " we mean igbos siting there industries and companies in the eastern region and not someone living in Lagos building a 4 storey in awka.

My view exactly, I am the kind of person who would not like to live in a rented apartment for long. It doesn't matter where, as long as I'm in a place earning sustainable income with a prospect of keeping me there longer than 5 years, I will own a house there
Huge investments by "non - indigenes" in unfriendly zones breeds envy and its attendants. That should be carefully considered

Pastor JohnKennedy Opara led a group of men to demand that Anambra State Government make available a certain amount of money to the commission, a Federal Government established agency, the money which the leader of the delegation stated will be used by the commission to provide meals for the intending pilgrims
The Federal government has provision for the pilgrims commission in it's budget including other incentives, recently Forex rate of 160 naira to dollars was approved for this same board
Thinking it was business as usual, when people use God's name to appropriate government money mostly un- accounted for, to themselves and religious establishments they represent through the cooperating public servants who do not realize that the business of Government has many public projects competing for attention from the scarcely enough Benjamins

AnambraDota:


The most important is reviving Oji River Power Station to improve electric situation of the two states.

Rehabilitate Onitsha-Enugu expressway and get compensated from FG instead of waiting for them to do it

In addition to those two, I would like both state Governments to make available lands for more industrial layouts , farming activities, resorts/parks, mega automobile villages . These will be aimed at increasing the employment opportunities across the States

Talk of being straight forward, being pragmatic and detailed
Talk of swagger, some say flamboyant
Talk of rapid response to emergencies and delivery on campaign promises, Obiano has been the man.
From Agriculture, Investments, Workers welfare, Infrastructure, Oil and Gas, Security to delivering all inclusive leadership style Chief Willie is Working.
He is leading in the race of who becomes the all time best Governor in the South East and I Hope he maintains the lead

The topic sounds deceptive and far from truth as it sounds
The topic would have been better put as Col Njoku, came to United states at 18 joined the army at 32 and became a colonel at ...

There are many African immigrants/ decent who had attained senior positions in the United States Armed forces before Col Njoku and even at much younger ages

Such Universities should have a particular program they will be known for e.g. Engineering( Automobiles, Aviation, Petroleum), Agriculture

I knew from the beginning that should Buhari decide to probe money laundering in the past administration that there was no way Mr Obi will escape being named as the specialist banker in most of those transactions. Now that Madam Iwela, Dieziani and the rest are negotiating their way out through cooperating with the Buhari Crew. I don't know what people like Obi who were instrumental and consultants in the gigantic laundering of billions of dollars will be doing
Run
Odenigbo, Why not the truth, and other Obi worshippers, advise your god that he can secretly return the money to Obiano so he will start rehabilitation of his potholes -poorly constructed roads. Other.Ex Govs who stole but love their states are secretly returning their loots because once it is recovered by the Federal agencies it does not return to the State of Origin but to the Federal purse.
His cleverness may not take him far in the face of a Buhari who is vindictive and smart

Friends of Peter Obi should help appeal to him that it is in the best interest of Anambra that he secretly returned the money to the State. There are so many incriminating documents showing he has been the brain in former President's money laundering team a.k.a economic team
My pain is that the money will be found soon enough and will not be reunited with Anambra but with the Federal box. Part of the money stolen has been traced to the election periods and Peter was actively involved in the disbursements
For some of us who have access to his Lordship Bishop Ezeobi, should approach him to assist in talking to Peter to act fast for the good of Anambra

What can be done about the harassment Ibos face at the Agbor/Asaba axis


I had expected Okorosha to take the matter up with his Northern associates and leaders who dominate Nigerian Customs
The question is how come the North with at 10 border states does have this kind of terrible and victimizing policing
Is Agbor/Asaba a port or are they boundary towns
And most often all these Custom posts along Lagos -Benin- Agbor-Asaba -Onitsha- Owerri are just tolls to extort Ibo businesses
Normally those goods are checked at the boundaries and ports where the duties are paid but in a bid to extort Ibo they tag the papers fake which is then un-tagged as soon as tangible sums are parted with


Suggestions Please

ziccoit:
Unless you just want to be stupidly myopic, unreasonably loyal and heartlessly tribalistic; you will agree with every right thinking Nigerians that GEJ factually suceeded in running this country aground. What would have been the fate of this country is better imagine if he had won his second term bid. The most dangerous person to be entrusted with power is a sheepishly clueless figure who always forms fake brilliancy. Never again will Nigeria fall into a wrong hand.

Osho himself can't account comprehensively for the ones he got. He is a typical example of the noise makers in APC who did very little in their states in terms of governance
Lest I forget, since Osho is now a rumour monger, some rumours have it that he is a big spender on prostitutes both local campus babes and international
Nonsense

Mopolchi:
Thank you my sister. Have they uprooted that scam from his seat? I just pray that ndi Anambra should see that they have been duped by Obi. Thanking God for Obiano.

Peter obi for one should as a matter of fact and urgency refund all the billions of IGR he stole in Anambra for 8 years. I wonder the heart someone will have to declare just 500 million as IGR for the entire Anambra State when only Nnewi can pull far more than that comfortably. Anyway, I'm happy Buhari has just relieved him of his short lived appointment

THE ZOO MUST FALL

How old is Mr Kanu? I think he is lacking civility in his choice of words.
The radio station can still be a societal watch dog in a mature manner and a veritable tool for Igbo Renaissance through calls to the obvious injustice our people get in Nigeria.
I personally believe that finding a way to compel our governors to be visionaries, to use the money accruing to the States to develop the States, our States, will be a much better engagement for Radio Biafra while creating the awareness for the Region

Obiano is doing well
He maybe flamboyant and swagalicious but he sure has an uncommon Leadership qualities than all the rest. His vision of making Anambra a modern city like Dubia though delusional to set such target which outweighs the potential resources of the State. He has kept faith with projects which will have far reaching benefits for our State and Igboland
Obi also tried at least he didn't bequeath huge debts as some State Governors did for their successors but he actually made so much from the State devising means of converting better sums eventually to his pockets while at the same time making sure that no road he constructed should have a lifespan of greater than 3 years?
Will Obiano start the reconstruction of those roads which are already failing some despite paucity of use? Now at the expense of other areas of development, this was why some of us kept shouting at the poor quality of Obi' s projects

LargeBrown:
It's very disheartening how most of us jump into criticism and reign insult on good people of this country without a prior painstaking investigation.. the Peter Obi I know will never Sale out His state like that. this is a cheap blackmail from gov.Obiano

Then you don't know Peter Obi. He is very cunning
I could give you loads of agreement he gave to people that he never kept. He will betray anybody when it comes to money or potentially juicy position. However, I don't believe he has a hand in the relocation of BH Islamists to Anambra at least I need evidence to believe that

It just shows the enemies of Anambra are really envious of the security we enjoyed in the past one year
Whoever is responsible for this knows that all it takes to let loose the demons from that prison is for their brothers to follow Sugar cane lorry down to Onitsha from their find their way to Ekwulobia prison

@Forexepert
That's the point, Buhari could have done something. All appeals to him fell on deaf ears, since the news of this came up Anambra state government has been making effort to stop that unfortunate transfer
Look at it this way, why would a right thinking President( military inclined) who is serious on stamping out BH not contain all their elements in the North and fight them there instead of polarizing the whole nation with those Allah messengers
Buhari is playing with impeachment / deposition

FreeGlobe:

Actually peter obi sent his online mob headed by valentine obienyem to spread the propaganda (like he always does), that it was obiano's visit to Buhari that effected the transfer of the suspects so obiano had to fight back. I have always advised this peter obi to stop blackmailing obiano's government he seems too envious of obiano's achievements to leave him alone.

Obiano's government have the security challenge it poses and therefore, should put head together and find the best way to send those demons back to hell. Blame game solves nothing
The protests is not what is needed. Buhari is a man known to be unperturbed by those.
Can't they get a transfer of the Ugwu awusa prison wardens first, they may be the one's letting out the Boko boys all in the bid to support Allah's work

This is serious
So Government is aware of the dangers of having 47 condemned killers in the State.

This report of Government taxations and levies is one Obiano's government should handle with diplomacy.
They must first structure the taxations and/or levies in a very transparent manner. Maybe a card for each trader, the records both at tax office should be devoid of clouds. The tax collectors must be highly professional and seen to be men of integrity
Civic education campaigns must be undertaken, brought to the door steps of the traders with emphasis on what the tax could do for the State.


Obiano should be willing to prove that his tax regime will be different from what Mr Peter Obi and his uncle Nwobu-Alor Sylvester did otherwise traders will not pay and there will be trailer loads of court cases.


For the records, Peter Obi tax regime was the most dishonest in the history of Anambra State and had more resistance to it than all the previous administrations combined

Mallam is not worth N90 Billion. He may worth that or more after serving out his term as Kaduna State Governor.
He has done well by declaring his assets and I think he will also do well as the governor of Kaduna State

But he should start making restitution to persons whose property he was said to have seized on the guise of illegal structure while demolishing some, many were converted to personal property of wives and cronies. Failure to do the restitution and compensations will keep gruesome deaths at his gates

Buhari is a hard man, unrepentant Islamic fundamentalist sympathizer. He will not rescind the decision to float terrorist in the South
Sending brainwashed killers who believe they are rendering good services as commanded by their almighty Allah and his prophet Mohammed was not done in good faith
But the solution is simple, the terrorists will have to die
