Anam

My journey to Anam in Anambra west, Anambra West is rich in crude oil and natural gas, and is rated as having the highest oil reserves in Nigeria with large amounts of untapped natural gas and oil at Mmiata Anam, Umudora and Igbedor also 100% arable soil for agriculture, God really blessed Anambra state. I went to Mmiata Anam very beautiful community good residential structures, beautiful roads and bridges

Please my people let us quit these Obi and Obiano madness, it will not do us any good, former governor Obi did great in Anambra, Gov Obiano is also doing great with the challenges in our economy he is still working and paying workers salaries, Anambra is very important to us and our children, different governors wil come and go but Anambra will still remain, we remember them by their legacies. Ndi ba anyi ekene mu nu!

The development going on in Anambra state is massive I went to Nkwere last Sunday it seems 33, Nkwere is developing more than Awka, there are many estates around there even the one built by state government, the road from express to Trans Nkisi need to be dualized, I also went to oil and agriculture rich town Anam, God really blessed Anambra state, the town is so beautiful good roads, standard bridges, good structures I was told that the roads and bridges were built by former governor Peter Obi, RCC and Sentraco were the contractors that handled the projects, I will post the pictures when I'm through with my exploration, it really fun to tour round Anambra for you to understand how great the state is, please I want to use this opportunity to beg those close to state government, Nkwere road down to express need dual carriageway, Unizik temp site down to Okpuno need dual carriageway, ifite road need government attention, I really appreciate great works Willie's administration is doing in all sectors, from health, eduction, roads, transport, agriculture, commerce and industry, security, oil and gas etc. God bless Anambra state and Igbo nation.

missKiffy:
Where is the bridge located

Onitsha-Asaba

wordcat:
And you think that your fake pix will become real automatically just because u feel I can't visit the site?

And who is holding you? Bitter mind

wordcat:
I've never said that work is not going on, what I said is that the first pix is a scam of the day. The project has not gotten to dat level.

Ode! I know you and your likes are bitter seen the level of work going on, if it's scam why not take your lazy ass go to the site and cover the project and show us the real picture?

obailala:
[size=13pt]Thank God the bridge is eventually being built... But forcing south-easterners to pay for the only federal project in the zone is nothing but man's inhumanity to man. In the end, after begging successive federal governments for this bridge for decades, the bridge is finally being built, but sadly by the south-easterners themselves (and not the FG).

Anyone who thinks this bridge is a gift from GEJ's FG must be a capital dumbo.[/size]

Same agreement reached with Lagos Ibadan express way, please allow east to worry about it , tell Tinubu to scrap two toll gates in 1 local government in Lagos state

room089:
Please when were these pictures taken?

Onitsha few days ago, JB had resumed work fully before the end of GEJ administration it would have been pure evil if Buhari stop the work.
