*He was the first Governor in Nigeria to legally challenge his wrongful impeachment and was reinstated by the Courts.

*He was the first Governor to serve a 2nd term in both the new and old Anambra State, that is, almost 40 years after creation of the State.

*He was the first Governor, whilst still in Office, to be appointed a Special Adviser to the President.

*He was the first serving Governor to be appointed into the Presidential Economic Management Team.

FUNDAMENTAL ACHIEVEMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF ANAMBRA STATE (PARTIAL LISTING)

1. Anambra was the first State to commence Sub-Sovereign Wealth savings, the first of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa. At a time many other Governors were leaving huge debts, I left the equivalent of $500 million Dollars in investment as well as local and foreign currency, including $156 million in Dollar-denominated bonds.

2. For the first time in the history of Anambra State, Ambassadors and High Commissioners of notable countries such as United States, Britain, Russia, European Union, South Africa, Belgium, Israel, the Netherlands, Canada, among others, visited the State. Before my tenure, Anambra was practically a pariah state blacklisted by the Diplomatic Corps and international development partners.

3. Development partners such as UNDP, UNICEF, the World Bank, DFID, the European Union etc., which hitherto were not in Anambra State started working with the State. Anambra was consistently adjudged one of the best states in development partnership and commitment to reforms for good governance.

4. He was recognised as Best Governor by the Millennium Development Goals Office (OSSAP-MDGs) and the UNDP in the implementation of their programmes in Nigeria.

5. The Nigerian Debt Management Office (DMO) rated Anambra as the least indebted state in Nigeria. In spite of visible and measurable achievements recorded in various sectors, the State under him did not borrow or raise bonds for her various projects.

6. The Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria rated Anambra State as the most financially stable state in the country.

7. The State's ground-breaking return of schools to their original owners - Voluntary Agencies (Churches) on 1st January 2009, and subsequent partnership with the Agencies in Education, saw the State move from 24th position out of 36 States to Number One in National Examination Council (NECO) and West African Examination Council (WAEC) examinations for three consecutive years. This made the World Bank to commission a study, led by the renowned Prof. Paul Collier of Oxford University, on this revolutionary partnership and phenomenal achievement.

8. The State also entered into strategic partnership with the Churches in the Health sector. This symbiotic relationship resulted in a tremendous boost to health care because of the services offered by health institutions owned by Voluntary Agencies, while the State restored grants to the agencies and made available to them more than 50 million Dollars in various types of support.

10. Through partnership with the Church in the Health sector, his Government funded the transformation of -:

a: Iyienu Hospital, Ogidi;
b: Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Ihiala;
c: St Charles Borromeo Hospital, Onitsha;
d: Holy Rosary Hospital, Waterside, Onitsha; and
e: St. Joseph Hospital, Adazi-Nnukwu.
His Government also built the Joseph Nwilo Heart Centre in St. Joseph, Adazi-Nnukwu, where heart operations are now being performed.

11. His Government won the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (1 Million dollars) as the best-performing state in immunisation in the South-East. With complementary funding from our Government, they used the money to build 10 Maternal and Child Care Centres across the State, particularly in rural communities, in partnership with the Churches.

12. The State was the first to procure and distribute more than 30,000 computers to secondary schools, including 22,500 from HP. The Managing Director for Personal Systems Group HP Inc, Mr. FabriceCampoy described the deployment as the biggest of such projects in the Middle-East and Africa.

13. Anambra State Government provided Microsoft Academies to more than 500 secondary schools, which the Head of Microsoft in Nigeria (Mr. Ken Span) described as the biggest such deployment in Africa so far.

14. The State provided Internet access to more than 500 secondary schools, which the CEO of Galaxy Backbone (Mr. Gerald Ilukwe) characterized as incomparable to any in the country.

15. More than 700 buses were provided to secondary schools in the State by our Government.

16. Boreholes were provided in schools all over the State.

17. Numerous classrooms were built in all the 177 communities of the State.

18 As part of the efforts to turn around the economy of the State, a number of companies were attracted to build their facilities in the Anambra State. A case in point is SABMiller, the 2nd largest brewery in the world, which built their first Green Field facility in the State, which is today one of the most successful facilities they operate globally.

19. A number of other companies followed the SABMiller initiative and were all supported and encouraged under our Government; a good example is INNOSON Motor Manufacturing Company, from which our government bought more than 1,000 vehicles.

20. Anambra State for the first time started close collaboration with recognized government security agencies (the Police, Army, Navy, Department of State Security, Civil Defence, among others), offering them various types of support including provision of more than 500 security vehicles. The improvement in security was phenomenal, such that the former IG of Police (Abubakar Mohammed) lauded Anambra State for not witnessing any bank robbery in my last three years in office.

21. To further enhance security, Anambra State provided at least one security vehicle to each of all the 177 communities in the State as well as various organizations such as markets and Churches.

22. His Administration conceived and built, from scratch, the first state-owned Teaching Hospital, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu teaching Hospital, Awka.

23. His Government commenced the planned development of the Igbariam Campus of the ChukwuemekaOdumegwu-Ojukwu University, including the fencing, construction of internal roads, electrification, construction of the Faculty of Law, Auditorium, Administrative Block, Faculty of Agriculture, Management Building, among others).

24. His Government attracted the World Bank support on erosion - National Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP) - to Anambra State.

25. His Government was the first to do Poverty Mapping in Nigeria, as a guide for the effective implementation of our poverty-alleviation strategies.

26 His Government, for the first time, undertook the aerial mapping of Awka as well as the production of Structure Plans for Awka Capital Territory, Onitsha and Nnewi.

27. During his tenure and with his Government's support, Anambra State became an oil producing State.

28. He built the first Secretariat Complex to house State Government Ministries that were hitherto scattered around the State.

29. His government commenced the development of the 'Three Arms Zone' comprising Government House/Governor’s Lodge, Legislative Building/Speakers Residence, and Judiciary Building with Chief Judge’s Residence.

30. By the end of his tenure in 2014, more than twelve (12) health institutions, including two hospitals, had secured accreditation; when we took off in 2006, no health institution in Anambra State was duly accredited.

31. Anambra State was the first to undergo national peer review, which scrutinised State Governments for good governance, through the State Peer Review Mechanism (SPRM), an initiative of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum in collaboration with the DFID….

USA and Europe has weapons but they're woke and it is affecting them, which is why Taliban kicked them out in Afghanistan.
If Russia declares war on Ukraine today,e don finish for Ukraine because na to kill everything there and the horror will probably be too much for even us pro Russia to bear

According to CNN, the United States is disappointed with the slow pace of the impact of sanctions on the Russian economy.

US officials are frustrated that the sanctions have not had a significant impact on the Russian economy and now predict that the most severe effects will not be seen until early next year.

The channel also reports that the sanctions will quickly destroy the Russian war machine, making it harder for the Kremlin to support its battlefield efforts — and possibly turning public opinion against the NVO.

What makes this a pivotal moment is that Russia is not denying the attack, which of course is illegal and depriving millions of people of water,sewage,energy, electricity is a war action.
It seems Russia has now basically announced to the world that we will destroy the whole of Ukraine if need be and it's bad news for Ukraine.
They izyum without fighting ukraine and this fools steal didn't think that was suspicious,they obviously left because they wanted to destroy everything there

Ibrahimcoomasie:
Thanks for the mention.

When he is not busy on his petty scam career of offering chinese phones and used electronic games on Nairaland for sale, he is busy licking Putin's arse on Nairaland and swearing at zekensky like the Ukraine PM collected his bread.

I have known about these monikas for a while. I have lots of screenshots, but I am currently busy. I will get back to his case later.

The many Monika's of the addict.

- They all like to sell China phones and used electronics
- all live in Ondo
- all love to curse righteousness2 and slawmormiir
- all addicted to hard drugs like Tramadol, oxycotin e.t.c.
- all love to create fantasy thread about their sister or brother (hallucination after substance abuse)
- all went for NYSC around the same period
- all lie about living in the USA (hallucination after substance abuse)
- legendary at replying himself as you have seen above e.t.c
Guess what happens when broke and can't buy drugs? stealing, lying, scamming, robbery e.t.c. is certain.

One has to be very careful on Nairaland. Too many craze people on here. I might just create a thread soon to warn nairalanders.

Ee no go better for you and your family for calling my name,abi Ogun wan Kee dis one ni, u think say I dey your level , idiot lyk you wey spend all Their life on nairaland, so you even be scammer wey dey open different account everyday,e no go beta for you and your scammer friends. Ole

When I discovered he was just a CIA stooge whi was stupid enough to get into a war with his father's mate to satisfy his boss in USA.
Now even cnn is reporting ukrainians are running into Russian held territory for safety now.
E don collect wotowoto,but the one dat pain me pass is that he is not affected at all by all this, I heard he stashed billions in a Netherland account last week.
One of the fools he led to fight Russia now is now cleaning toilets in donbass

Dumbasses really thought they could just print and slap ridiculous numbers on Thier currency and it becomes valuable

Looks like the little Chihuahua has come to her senses, this idiotic little country the size of some streets in Russia wanted to gain clout and poke the bear thinking NATO would risk war over her stupidity but they know who is boss now.

Wurld:
Source?

abi eyes dey pain you, something that is trending on Twitter in over 50 countries since yesterday,do you live under a rock

Drillminded:
Can you steal what is yours before ?

Stop forming too know,you knoe exactly what I mean, answer or hush it,stop deflecting

Wetin pain me pass is that there are not even good at lying sef they just nake absurd stupid Claims like the Ghost of Kiev that destroyed 40 Russian jets in one week like it's call of duty ghost reckon.

At some point ukraine was loosing 600men per day and this fools still claims to have lost 3000 men in 4 months.

They've lost nothing less than 80,000 I'm certain of it. Cos there was a day Russia took out over 46 millitary Targets killing more than 1000 sef.

They claimed here that Russia has Killed more civilians than soldiers,wtf is wrong with this people

I would wager that 99% of Nigerians has at one point in their lifes stolen something that is not theirs before.
I have a couple times, from stealing meat from the soup pot to loading a recharge card and claiming it didn't work.
Share your thiefing escapades if you're remorseful and honest enough to admit wrong

shawante:
I wish i had a brother like you.. If your kind were up to a million in Nigeria things would not be as bad as they are now.

For the fact that you secured that job for him he would be for ever grateful to you.

God bless you bro

My little brother got his lifetime girlfriend pregnant a couple months ago and abortion is out of the picture due to security reasons,left to my idiot of a brother I'd not support him but the girl in question happens to be a very decent and respectful girl and that baby is my family too so I don't have a choice than to assume at least most of the responsibility, Just got a job for my brother in March and he hasn't even started getting paid yet which means he can't support a family let alone a child, he is just 24 by the way.
So I want to know ball park how much things like hospital bills,baby clothes,toys,baby cribs etc will set me back for. I'm thinking I should set aside like 500,000 for the hospital naming and things we're going to need for the delivery.
And 50,000 monthly for 12months because I'm not going to support them for more than a year, he has a federal job and his salary should have kicked in by then.
Don't get me started on how I spoilt and enabled my brother to be a brat even at his age cos I know, thing is I've always been responsible for him,I practically raised him so he looks at me like am his dad or something and I'll always be there to pick up his slack when he mess up,plus I love that fool more than myself,he is my blood and I'd do anything for him.
Plus he is a good kid and this is the first time he's actually fvcked up

All hail murder Russia ��

klarry79:
USA failing to build ke? You may want to research the SR-71 Blackbird. It was built in the 50s 60s operated over 30 years and retired in 1999. Hypersonic speed is not a technology unachievable to USA. All their space rockets reach hypersonic speeds and beyond. They may require specific functionalities that may fail under those extreme conditions and won't stop till it's right. While Russia and China were still marveling at aircraft's the SR-71 had attained and still is the fastest aircraft ever flown.

Why is it taking longer than sanctioned North Korea to achieve this though. And if we're talking about efficiency you want me to name the amount of us aircrafts that has crashed without any reason this year alone,from their booeing planes,to the f16 and osprey aircraft. Even the $2b almighty b2 spirit crashed,even the famed f35 still crashed inside China see this year sef
