This, is the top of the location called the Coal city gardens, or more popularly know as the "zoo estates"

Enugu has a high tree density relative to other Nigerian cities.
I wish we can maintain and even improve on this

spyder880:
When they do well, let's record it. Governor Ugwuanyi has been doing some inner street roads inside the Independence Layout in Enugu.

Nice one.

But after 4 years.....

Hmmm

I'm done commending mediocrity

It is a beautiful gift.

SpecialAdviser:
If u don't facts, then ask around.
I have not gone to ENUGU town for long to discover how he is fairing in the city but have seen many completed project where I have been to.

Ezimo in udenu LGA road
Ezime double bridges along the road
Orba Imilike road
Opi-Nsukka road dualization with street lights
Nsukka township roads
Ninth mile by pass
Imilike obollo road
Opi-obollo fg highway.

Like I said, these are the ones I saw with my naked eyes since I am from around there.

I learnt he did the same round all rural areas in Enugu state.

His plan is to focus in Enugu city in his second tenure. Still he has done some projects there.
He pays salary every 28th and yet not borrowing much. Although I heard he z owing pensioners. I pray he pays them soonest.

Ugwuanyi is good please.

Most of the projects mentioned are not only skewed to a particular region but were in advanced stages when he took over.
I realise that government is a continuum but I'll like him to take on more relevant daring projects
I must commend him on sanitation though.
However, in other aspects of basic urban running eg road, street and traffic lights maintenance, creation of novel investment opportunities etc he is grossly underperforming

11 megawatts is more than this administration has been able to produce

All I can say is the governor is a failure.
A huge failure

After close to four years one cannot point out even one capital project that has been initiated and completed by the governor

That is a gaboon viper
Quite venomous

Looks like the present government has zero interest in the maintenance of very basic infrastructure in the capital.
The traffic lights and especially street lights across most parts of the city including Independence layout, WTC, GRA etc, are no longer functional.
Potholes are springing up around IMT campus 1 Independence layout and will soon render that road impassable.
The patch work done along the Okpara square road is very rough and subpar for the capital yet an obnoxious bill board with his face plastered on it, hangs at that round about.
The railings at Akwata are in dire need of maintenance.
There has been NO new major project in the capital since he became governor.
Enugu is fast losing the serenity and efficiency that attracted so many people to invest in real estate which provided numerous employment opportunities for people.
The positive part I see is sanitation. I must say that there has been some improvement but it has to extend to the outskirts to include Agbani road and Gariki axis as well as along the Enugu Portharcourt express where some shanty settlements now dump refuse along the divides and flyovers ( terrible eyesore). Also his works at Nsukka are superb, I just wish the capital can have a glimpse of that quality.
Gburugbu as far as I'm concerned does not care for the capital his focus is elsewhere​.
Enugu capital is less efficient now than it was, before he assumed power which is a very sad thing.

Even in the NBA 7 feet 1 is considered tall.

It was a great experience today seeing all those neighborhood brother chasing the monitor lizard and a bird and eventually killing them.

Lalasticlala, r231, freiburger abeg my turn please do the needful.

Great experience murdering harmless animals

I was healthy looking five years ago but see me now I'm fat.

I really do not understand the rationale behind the segregation of sexes.

BijopsPius:
House,

It is not paramount to carry out wheel balancing and alignment after tyre change out.
However,if you change tie rods and ball joints, those services need to be done.
To know if your vehicle needs wheel balancing -------If you nioticed increased steering wheel vibration when you drive to 70km/hr or more
Alignment should be done when you noticed drifting to one side while in motion,side wearing of tires (in and out).
Also, always change and fix tires of same profile and make. Never have different tire makes to avoid issues. All new tires should be at the front wheel and old tires to the rear if you can not have all the tires replaced same time.

I didn't notice any abnormality rather ride was smoother after tyre change.
Still took it to have it checked out, the alignment was fine and after looking at the wheels they said I needn't do wheel balancing since the ride was okay.

I want to know if this is a myth or reality. Must one do wheel balancing and alignment after purchase of new tyres.

ARROBA:
Enugu Airport runway upgrade from FAAN facebook page.

Is this why they closed the airport at the busiest time of the year
For 5 men in reflective jackets to rake asphalt unto the runway.

It thought they wanted to do a more comprehensive overhaul.
What a shame.

This is very sad.

However, it is a direct consequence of poor road construction combined with reckless driving.
How can you widen a road and tar it from median to gutter without any provision for walk way, pedestrian overhead bridges or zebra crossing.

The roads are terribly unfriendly to pedestrians.

safarigirl:
Nice pictures bro, however, in case of nest time. The word is SESSIONS, you have studio sessions, not studio sections. It is a general mistake most Nigerians make sha

It is next time not nest time, in case of next time.

kitaatita:
I guess you have no need to use any airport, so you probably won't know that harmattan haze disrupted flight at Enugu airport.

What you said was that no flight had landed or taken off since December 8th which is a blatant lie cause the airport has been in use.

9jakohai:
Biafra or no biafra....when runway is bad,,,....it must be repaired.

Or if bad accident happens during the festive period...

Besides....Uyo, Port Harcourt, Calabar, Benin...and Owerri Airports are STILL OPEN.

None of these airports are less than 3 hours drive from Enugu.

The closure is ill timed considering that the the involved dates are the busiest and will cause tremendous hardship and potential loss of lives to hundreds of travellers who will be forced to reroute and end up in the dilapidated and congested federal roads they were trying to avoid.

The repair has been overdue for so many months now so waiting till the busiest time of the year to effect it just seems like a deliberate act to punish travellers.

kitaatita:
It seems so; but the airport is hardly operational during the harmattan season. In fact no plane has landed or taken off from the airport since December 8 due to bad weather.

Stop dishing out wrong information with so much authority.
The airport has been functioning.

python1:
Grammatically correct but structurally wrong. Nigeria as a country is land, not landS.

Not true
These lands can be used to refer to a diverse place like Nigeria.

English.

That sentence is 100% grammatically correct.

i pity the person wey buy this car, maybe him no sabi say the car na electric car, him just allow the cheap price deceive am

#justsaying

Did you say cheap price?

Electric cars are not cheap.

Very nice thread
Will be posting pictures of how other countries that have preserved their wildlife are benefiting from it.

These are my personal collections

That is Port Harcourt not Enugu, Garrison is in PH Even the bus colours give it away.

Very poor for a developing 3rd world economy

Very impressive for a truck that weighs over 8 tonnes.

This is history.

SirMichael1:
Someone here would soon attack me with one stupid explanation and say '...the bird might be sick and decided to rest by his door' or just one crazy stuff

Owls are birds of prey and feed predominantly on rodents- rats and mice. Rodents are abundant in human populations especially around homes.
What this means is that contrary to what you think owls are very commonly found around regular homes.
Because they are nocturnal they are hardly spotted but if you are observant you can occasionally hear their hooting anytime from 11pm.
After feeding they will return to their nesting grounds before dusk.

There is absolutely nothing unusual in finding a dead owl around your house.

QuotaSystem:
To be fair, the police have been auctioning recovered but unclaimed vehicles after advertising them in national dailies for as long as I can remember. The original owner must have missed the advertisements and the vehicle was auctioned to another person for a low price. I can only fault the police for not contacting the original owner once the car was found, since he had already made a report and presumably dropped his contact details.

The owners best option is probably to contact the successful buyer and persuade him to give back the car after paying him what it cost him at the auction; this is because the auction is a legally recognized and regulated process.

My two cents.

The owner of the stolen made an official report to the police in the same city. In fact the stations in questions are just few kilometres apart. How can you possibly defend such obvious deliberate corruption on the part of the police.

The very essence of making the report, which for a stolen vehicle is expensive to do, is for the police to contact the owner if the vehicle is recovered.
The person actually pays a fee for the report for that purpose.

It is dumb and inexcusable to auction a vehicle on the premise that the owner did not see an advert. Vehicles are registered, they have chasis and engine numbers and can easily be traced from FRSC or customs.

Your comment is just provocative.
