The Ekwueme square turned far, far better than I feared it would! A near-perfect renovation ....the only question mark is the decision to fold and cover the edges of the roof of the presidential dais or pavilion with the same green long-span roofing sheet! Anybody who has worked with long-span sheets knows it is not an easy material to work with. Aside from its severe industrial appearance, it never gives you a perfect finish unless you are using it for straight and angular line designs. Once you enter curvy designs, it begins to look tardy and tacky! Make I no critique too much...that will be mean-spirited! kudos to soludo!
Tajbol4splend: I thought the people of Anambra hated him for his 8 years as governor and deemed him a failure.
I think I understand where Peter Obi is coming from, a failure can't understand what competence is.
Someone who thinks election is a religious battle, someone who wants power but has no plans or blueprints on how to use it but just wants to become President
on which planet did you read that? Peter Obi did a good job in Anambra with all the distraction of 2 impeachments! The foundation of soludo's good work was laid by Peter Obi! The biggest investment you can ever make are in your people! That is true development not building dozens of banabisland, Eko Atlantic and a near redundant lagos,Calabar coastal road!
Nigeria has been unfortunate with Presidents....and when Nigeria had two good Presidents; Yaradua and Goodluck, una allowed APC devils to deceive una with nepotism.
If I become Nigeria's President, I swear with my life....I rather die or resign than allow things to become so messed up as it is now.
God forbid I become President and intentionally sideline, ignore and neglect any Nigerian region, ethnicity, or section.
I will forgive everybody that wronged me before I became President and carry every Nigerian region along for the good of myself and the entire nation.
I will carefully select and assemble highly competent and determined Nigerians from all the 36 states based on pure merit to help me build a new Nigeria.
If on my list which I will compile using social media and media sampling that I will make open to all Nigerians to nominate best candidate for various portfolios, and a Hausa person tops the rating for any position, God forbid I appoint an Igbo person to occupy such position. I will even be ashamed of myself as President if all key positions are occupied by Igbos. It can never happen under my watch, instead I resign. Nepotism has been what breeds division, corruption, stealing and sabotage in Nigerian government.
Nigeria have never had good President since 1966, yes I said it and that is the main issue destroying Nigeria further
Obasanjo is by far the best president in Nigeria's history.........do not even mention Jonathan and yaradua abeg! you must be a teenager!
MadPolitician: Nigerias government should learn how to play dirty international politics sometimes. These smaller countries can be influenced to treat Nigerians much better.. Nigeria might be a mess at the moment, but when smaller countries like Cape Verde and Benin republic start to toss Nigerians up and down, it means the government of Nigeria is aloof and unaware of how to manage her global influence and reach.
jagaban is more interested in Lagos calabar road collections/tithes!I have nothing against Tinubu but this job pass am!
Build your nation all round......treat your fellow nationals like brethren! do not drive your cows into your brother's farm and kpai him when he complains! ....Nigerians do far worse to themselves......you think the world is not watching our tribalistic orgies of violence, which mouth you wan take complain!
franchasng: Were they supposed to be arrested or shot at sight? Nigerians should keep pampering terrorists
leave them.......I am in the process of downgrading the intelligence level of most Nigerians..........no wonder we ran down the most resourced country in the black world........
rowland545: They should bring the fool back so he can be dealt with....if e chop strong watery beans for 5yrs him brain go reset...
But seriously this guy exposed the igbos....we used to think they were intelligent people...but ekpa just proved us wrong...how can someone sit in a far away country and be detecting and lying to u on how to set ur region on fire to achieve an imaginary freedom and u agree with him and destroyed yr place.... I'm still trying to wrap my brain around it...ekpa and kanu I don't know who is more foolish but i hate this ekpa more
na you no get sense ...how can all 200 million of you sit on your backside while fulanis finish you off! Killing on a large scale from north to south! black man and his kobo kobo sense!
anonimi: Those who blame Lagos seaports for the absence of development in their region, what do you have to say to this
Try again! Your region is paradise abi......yet ur children japa the most ! Besides we all know how Maersk had to force the fg to make it possible for onne port to function
Debroslink: There is a master plan to put Nigeria into food crisis and famine in a year's time or two. Benue, Kogi, Plateau and other important food states are being attacked massively while agricultural lands are destroyed. Farmers are already scared of going to farm, but the government keeps providing lip-service to the issue.
Who is the beneficiary of food scarcity in Africa? Who profits when Rwanda invades Congo for scarce rare earth minerals? Who profits when strong leaders are overthrown in Iraq, Iran, and Syria? Who benefits when the whole Sahel is in turmoil? Who benefits when internal wars and external wars ravage Russia? ..............Christians are about to find out who the true anti-Christ is and Why The Bible proclaims that Yeshua ( Ihe Chi Uwa) .........is your Lord and Saviour !!......... as we advance, y'all will find out that you need a Physical savior! Unfortunately the Negro does not understand or care to know who his real enemy is!
Stolen: HOW CAN WE GET RAILWAY WITH THIS LEVEL OF MADNESS?
AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS IGBOS.
sometimes it takes a "mad person " to deal with ndiOnitsha.........Soludo is too demure for some of us o! Using iron for work like this is a no no for me! They should have used precast concrete fencing..........
Tinubu is near ineffectual as a leader.........make Kidnapping a federal capital offense........punishable by execution by a firing squad or hanging,,! What is so hard in doing this!
The Anambra State commissioner should be promoted to the "Black and White paint Minister"........Soludo should be careful of some of his appointees .......especially the political types! This upper Iweka renovation is a complete washout! A train wreck in my view
Trossard: God punish some of these senseless, moronic, Demonic and idiotic nincompoop parading themselves as governors. You can't probe the killing of over 200 people by these bloodsucking Fulani demons, but u can probe to know the killers of their cows. You're a fool. This is why the herdsmen can't stop killing our people. Go and see what these guys are doing in Benue right now. You will cry. These cows have over the years destroyed so many crops which has in turn led to food shortage across the country. The herders have being killing, butchering and maiming our farmers on their own soil, but the government has never launched any investigation. Cows are now more relevant than human beings.
These cows and their Fulani herdsmen are one of the major reasons were are crying of hunger today.
APC is a fundamentalist jihadi party.......the sooner Nigerians realise this ...the better for you all!
US Abuja embassy and Lagos consulate are cash cows..........with the number of agbados and apc zombies hustling to run away from the paradise emilokan is building in Nigeria!
The normal army post for ndigbo......Army spokesman, army chief chaplain, army pe master, army chief chef , army chief tailor, army chief choir master.........make una continue......person who hold person for ground...also hold himself!
Rich4god: This country will divide sooner than we expect, but it's too bad that we might not divide peacefully.
This division is not because IPOB succeeded in pushing for independence... It's not because Yoruba nation succeeded... It's not because arewa group or any other group succeeded on pulling out of Nigeria....
The country will divide because the central and state govt have failed to act on their primary responsibility, which is to secure lives and properties.
We all are seeing how the country is burning, from job to Benue to Enugu to ekiti to Katsina to zamfara etc... killings perpetrated by one particular group of people.
Everyone eyes is opening, and people are beginning to see that govt careless about their situation.
The anger is boiling and the boiling point is fast approaching.
When the people decide to take up arms.
The fight will be the people against the terrorist who may now be supported by army in the guise of trying to respond to the crisis.
This will further anger the people and the govt will lose control, leading to self realisation by every region.
If govt knows what is good for this nation, they should better arrest this insecurity issue before it gets out of hand.... Oh I even forgot, all the govt cares about is their pocket, this is why state of emergency is declared in rivers state, but can't be declared in Plateau or Benue.
The most annoying and vexatious thing about fulani savagery in Nigeria is that the so called fearless fulanis have been caged in their original homeland of Guinea and much of west Africa.............the tribe that incentivizes fulani misbehaviour in nigeria are the YORUBAS.....with their funny politics of igbo exclusion! go figure!
Lol.............an unbiased perception of Nigeria from those without vested interests..........watch out for a traveller's view of Onitsha.......filmed with a good 4k camera! watch !
I saw the video and I marveled at how those "peasant" Chinese were laughing, recording and speaking Chinese possibly mocking those policemen as they stood stretching their hands to receive the hand-outs. Gosh. And to think they'were fully armed in full regalia.
Can the Chinese ever try this with any European or Latino Police officers?
Africans are at the lowest ebb of human civilization and dignity. I'm so sad rt now
Same reason they could not see that Nnamdi Kanu was fighting for them all along! The typical Nigerian cannot rise above his banal instincts
IGBOPROMISE1: Before the uncivil war Onitsha had a magnetic pull that attracted people from all over the Eastern Region and from even as far afield as Ghana! Ndoni in Rivers state for instance had many of its notable indigenes have their formative years in Onitsha….Chief V I Odili and Dr Peter Odili are two accomplished individuals worthy of note.
The regional colonial gov’t of the time had good plans for Onitsha. The emerging city was also the seat of the Catholic Church east of the Niger. So Onitsha was well placed to succeed and was on an upward trajectory until that useless coup happened and truncated its progress! Nigeria happened to Onitsha just as it has happened to all of us in one way or the other’
The Chinese restaurant you mentioned, was it located near All Saints Cathedral? I vaguely remember seeing a Chinese restaurant there. Or maybe i’m just imagining things!
Yes it was........! I believe it was a Chinese restaurant.......to me, all restaurants were Chinese! The only restaurant I had ever seen was the Chinese restaurant at Federal Palace Hotel in Victoria Island. My parents always guided us carefully away from there. They pushed us along to the rooftop joint where the middle class gathered on weekends with their kids! Sadly, Ndigbo have failed to invest in such a nuanced lifestyle ...........all you see today are nkwobi joints with loud and rude madams and stranger bar girls............... Thank God for Soludo and the new solution fun center..I hope he hands over the clubhouse to Stanel to manage o! We do not want them to turn the place into another beer palour for Obi cubana wannabees wey full onitsha!
manuelkel: Which God? If the Benue indigenes feel like accepting defeats fine, if they also want to defend their land and lives at all cost fine. More than 3 cult groups with useless youths are killing each other at Benue state and you think God would help them? God don't help foolish youths who would rather kill each other, and wait for their aged mother's to go naked and protest for the killings. Benue is another kind of state in this Nigeria, I don't think there's a state as shallow as Benue state in the South. Medically they're poor, infrastructural sittings they are poor, educationally they are poor, security wise they're poor,human development they are zero,they're becoming poor in agriculture lately because they can't farm. Omor, they need to buckle up oo
you hit the nail on the head! benue people are just a difficult set to understand.......especially the Tivs, when you are gentle with them..they become hostile....when you are harsh, they suddenly become all nice! Anyway na dem sabi...when they are serious we will know!
IF WE CANNOT ATTAIN A WORLD CLASS CITY, AT LEAST, LET US IMPROVE THE SANITIZATION ASPECT.
A BIG PART OF IT IS ROADS, STREET LAYOUT, WASTE DISPOSAL, STREET LIGHTS, TREES, SECURITY, CHURCH, SCHOOLS, AND HOSPITAL.
I BELIEVE EVERYWHERE SHOULD BE SHOPS, SO THEY CAN ALL TRADE AND DIG THEMSELVES OUT OF POVERTY ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, WITH ALL THE MEANS PROVIDED.
THEN AT THE OTHER SIDE, WE BUILD WORLD CLASS RESIDENTAIAL STRUCTURES FOR THOSE WHO CAN AFFORD IT, THIS IS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT, AND CARRYING EVERYBODY ALONG.
I LOVE THE GRID LAYOUT OF ABA.
I agree with you.......Onitsha has always been a trading hub and a traders' paradise, but I believe that Onitsha lost its way during the military era between 1985 and 1989, and even during the era of the clueless ex-governor from Uli.......I cannot even remember his name! Onitsha has not always been so chaotic...yes, it was busy but not fantastically rowdy as it got in the recent past!
I daresay Onitsha had some level of class and pizazz in the late 70's and early 80'...........the first Chinese restaurant I ever visited was in onitsha circa 1981...........Even Nnewi had some cool spots in the 1970s.........I remember Sabina or is it sabeena hotel at umudim near Okonkwo Kano's home..............my parents used to take us there in the 1970s ...damn the place was awash with airconditioners......a rarity in homes then!
I want Ndigbo to always put their best foot forward at all times......Kudos to Soludo...he was a bit slow off the mark but he is finishing his first tenure in a powerful way.........I have a strong feeling that he will surprise Nigerians in his second tenure,........I give him an A in overall performance.......especially for frugality and planning! Soludo has more plans for our great state!WATCH
LegacyB: I guess those Nigerians that supported this orange felon are happy now! Especially those who voted for him…….?
I am happy o! If your intent is to commit atrocities in our US under the cover of citizenship then think again because you will be shipped on a one way ticket to the sodomite camps of El salvador...ndi ala! After destroying Nigeria u want to carry your nefarious lifestyle here!
