Broda surveys are very hard to sign up to in Nigeria due to our IP, no matter the VPN you use even if it's paid or free it won't work, some Socks do work and maybe RDP. But there's this magical VPN called mysteruim VPN that solves it all but it's kinda expensive and you only need to use it to answer questions and nothing more. Surveys sites like Inbox Dollar or Respondent that you can make atleast $200 in a month with and if you are able to open double accounts that's $400 for you in a month but you need the right VPN that's it. You also need to know how to answer Surveys so per surveys you will earn dollars. Just read more on it on Google.

LibertyRep:
Mr Bayo needs not threaten or curse anybody.

All his principal need do is to make just one person a scapegoat, provided he has no skeleton in his cupboard.

Tinubu has successfully inherited the troll and hatred that was exclusive reserved for Buhari. Bayo and those in his circle should brace up with enough arsenal to fire back or just develop a thick skin.

But is Tinubu a drug dealer or not?

IdiotOjukwu:
If not for some naive. Yoruba youth, Obi name should have been banned in South West. Everywhere online, you will never find a single Igbo who is not for Obi. That's how to understand conspiracy. There criticism of Tinubu is a reflection of their habitual discrimination of every top Yoruba men. .

I remember how we all celebrated Chimamanda Adichie breakthrough with her novel. That same lady later used her platform to lampoon Adeleke, a Yoruba writer. Don't think I recalled the name correctly. We all celebrated the brilliance of Okonjo Iweala, Charles Soludo and every member of Obasanjo economic team. We aren't even mindful of the fact that Frank Nweke Junior was playing the role of Lai Mohammed. But they castigated Kami Adeosun and mock her exit from Buhari government . Every brilliant Yoruba personality in Buhari government, they painted as incompetent.

We still respect Chinua Achieve till date but they spare no word of commendation for Whole Soyinka. To them, he is a puppet of the nobel Laurette organization in Stockolm. They even forget the sacrifice he made for them during the Biafra war.

Generation Z, you are on the bed with the worng people. You join the self adulation bandwagon but always quick to criticize your your. Your obsession with trend has made your lost your self awareness. Your are caught in do not let behind syndrome .

You don't seem to get, this is not about tribe or religion. This is about having the right person in position. Do you know how much spaghetti is in the presently? Or a crate of egg? Some families can't even afford three square meal so we can't afford to get wrong this time. I am an Igbo man and if Apc had fielded Osibanjo, I will gladly vote for him because he has shown capacity the few weeks he presided over the affairs of this country.

Nairaland / General / Enugu: Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi Finishing Strong by freechuks05(m): 5:46pm On Nov 16, 2022
Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi's administration completed a 5km road project, stretching from the University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN) New Gate to 9th Mile/Makurdi expressway. The project was completed, to an incredible standard with drainage and road markings for easy access to the newly licensed State University of Medical and Applied Sciences (SUMAS). In short: Enugu state is in God's hands.

When he was sworn in as the Governor of Enugu State, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi made a promise to rebuild and modernize Nsukka. That's why he's delivered a conference center that contains multiple halls, activity hubs, indoor adult and children swimming pools, and even tennis courts.

With the commencement of installation of solar-powered streetlights and a perimeter fence around the permanent location of the newly licensed State University of Medical and Applied Sciences (SUMAS), Igbo Eno, Enugu State, completion of the faculty buildings, student dormitory blocks and water supply and distribution project, speedy construction of the Teaching Hospital building that is currently at a stone-based stage, and extensive construction to build access roads for the university campus which are being handled by Ferotex Construction Company Limited - among other projects in progress - it is safe to say that this site is rapidly becomming an educational hub with all its infrastructural requirements well on their way to completion.

Politics / 2023: APGA Presidential Candidate Laments Starvation Of Campaign Fund by freechuks05(m): 3:51pm On Nov 11, 2022
The presidential candidate of All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) and former Chief Judge of Anambra state, Prof. Peter Umeadi may be in a serious problem as he is reported to be lacking funds to prosecute his presidential campaign, ANAMBRA PEOPLE reports.

According to a reliable source in APGA, the presidential candidate has continued to lament to party stakeholders and prominent Anambrarians on how the governor of Anambra state, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo who is supposed to be the major financier of the party has not been forthcoming despite several entreaties, noting that it has starved his campaign council of fund.

The source stated that the presidential candidate equally lamented the absence of strong financial party stalwarts in APGA as in other major political parties like PDP, APC and even Labour Party. He further noted that as it is customary in other parties, the governor of Anambra state who is supposed to be the financial backbone of the party as the party’s only sitting governor should be in the forefront of fundraising for the presidential campaign, but has continued to complain of paucity of funds, leaving him and other APGA candidates in several states in difficulty as election approaches. This, he said, has left the former Chief Judge, a retiree in dire financial fix, making him to literally dip his hands in his personal funds to finance some of the campaign expenses.

Another close ally of the former chief judge confirmed the story and stated that this has been the reason why their campaign has not generated enough momentum. “As you can see, we do not have a strong media presence, no funds to setup campaign offices across states of the federation and we don’t have money to fund the cost of logistics as we commence campaign”. He lamented.

The ally further lamented that Brigadier Gen. Gbor who was the party’s presidential candidate in 2019 presidential election even though not from Anambra state was given maximum support by ex-governor Obiano and noted that the former governor even bought him SUVs befitting of a presidential candidate. According to him, this is not the same with Prof. Umeadi who is from the state as the governor but has not received the kind of support Gen. Gbor enjoyed. He decried the way the presidential candidate was allowed to be traversing the length and breadth of this country using his personal cars with the attendant wear and tears and pleaded with the party to prevail on the governor to do the needful otherwise APGA’s outing during this presidential election will be a show of shame.  

Both sources argued that APGA could perform better than their last outing in 2019 presidential election where they clinched 5th position, saying a good performance at this 2023 election would be a plus for the current leadership of the party and position it well for victory in other elections.

Politics / Group Accuses Abia State Govt Of Trying To Influence Outcome Of PDP Congress by freechuks05(m): 3:57pm On Nov 02, 2022
A group of concerned PDP members have called the attention of the general public on what they described as an act of desperation by the Abia State Government trying to prevail on INEC into doing its bidding for a fee.

The group stated that the PDP worried that the Federal High Court Umuahia will likely nullify their Congresses held in Abia State, the State Government is making frantic moves to influence INEC to bend the rules in their favor.

According to the group, “INEC Regulations of 2018 stipulates that for a party to hold a valid congress, it must notify INEC Headquarters at least 7 days before the time. Abia State PDP held a kangaroo Congress on the 6th of May 2022 by a letter dated 4th May 2022 addressed to the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) and received by the REC on 5th May, 2022.

The 2018 INEC Regulations make it mandatory that only a communication signed by both the National Chairman and National Secretary of a political party addressed to the National Headquarters of INEC is valid. In a letter signed by Secretary to INEC, Rose Orarian - Anthony and dated 13th May 2022, INEC confirmed that the last letter they received from PDP National was the one rescheduling Abia PDP Congress to 4th of May, 2022. What this means is that the 6th May, 2022 Congress of the PDP in Abia was held without giving INEC the stipulated 7days notice, thereby breaching INEC Regulations. In the eye of the law, PDP Abia did not hold any valid congress”.

The group further stated that Abia State Government is working hard to influence INEC to write and backdate a letter that the commission authorized the state Chapter of PDP to organise a Congress in line with the law. ”We reliably gathered that INEC is on the verge of doing the bidding of the state government and are about to receive a huge amount of money for the hatchet job.

The general public should please remind INEC of their letter of 13th May 2022 which is already in the public domain. They should not soil the name of the Commission and destroy the credibility they have built over these years”. The group stated.

Business / Konfam Becomes Nigeria's Latest Fintech by freechuks05(m): 12:15pm On Oct 22, 2022
Konfam, a fintech startup developed by Novalux ideas ltd, A Lagos based company will join the African fintech market as one of the latest solution providers in the Nigerian financial system.

According to one of the Co-founders, Mr Michael Amakeze, the fintech was set up to provide escrow services and act as a payment intermediary between buyers and sellers who over the years are yearning for payment system that gives them equal control and access to their funds during business transactions while stamping out fraud, especially for online transactions.

In a statement released to the public by the Company's Head of Marketing, Mr Peter Ezenwa , the startup aims to among other things build trust between vendors and their customers, boosting business transactions and eliminating fraud in the process.

Part of the statement reads:

"The prominence and traction of the Nigerian online market place came with it a lot of promises. For online vendors, the world became smaller. The reach is unprecedented, with minimal cost. With the increasing internet penetration, smart phone revolution and the widespread adoption of electronic payments, ecommerce in Nigeria is fast taking a pride of place alongside brick and mortar stores within a very short time. However, the massive opportunities it presents also has a tragic flaw-lack of trust. Incidences of fraud are rife. According to ecommerce complaint (@eccnigeria), Instagram shoppers alone lost over N273 million Naira to scammers between April 2020 and September 2021. This is excluding other social media platforms and other online market places.

It is for this reason that the Lagos-based Fintech startup NOVALUX IDEAS LTD developed and launched a revolutionary app and website called Konfam.ng. It is an escrow platform that helps to eliminate fraud and grants equal control of funds to both vendors and buyers, ensuring seamless and satisfactory business transactions.

Konfam helps vendors to increase their sales by bridging the trust gap between vendors and their customers. The motto of Konfam is apt- TRUST BEYOND WORDS. With Konfam, incidences of “what I ordered v what I got” can now be retired permanently. Dubious vendors and customers alike will no longer have their ways as the product is a democratized platform, equipping each of the partners to a business transaction equal access to the funds. In other words, the funds cannot be moved until both parties sign off on the transaction.

Using Konfam for transactions is not just easy but fun. The steps are very simple.
With Konfam, you get to create an instant joint (holding) Wema bank account with your business partner.
Money is paid into the account from anywhere at any time
Upon fulfilling business terms, any of the partners can initiate the withdrawal protocol.
The other partner endorses the transaction by inputting an OTP sent to their phone and email.
The money drops in the destination account.

It is important to note that as long as that transaction was done using any of the Konfam version (Playstore or Web), the transaction is safe and secure. 

The Founders have envisaged circumstances that may lead to conflicts between two partners in some transactions. And so, they have set up a conflict resolution team and a model for resolving conflicts if and when they arise. Konfam.ng is the safest way to transact business. Start today and KONFAM your transactions"

Are you residing in Cross-River and Akwa-Ibom states? Are you a victim of sexual and gender-based violence?

Do you know someone who is a victim? Are you in a domestic violence situation? You don’t have to die in silence. Violence against any person- man, woman and child - is an offence. So also violence in the home as is violence in the public. The Violence Against Persons Prohibition (VAPP) laws of both Cross-River and Akwa-Ibom states prohibits all forms of violence against persons.

Furthermore the Disability Rights Law of Cross-River State prohibits violence against, discrimination and exclusion of persons with disability.

BE AWARE! BE EMPOWERED!! SAY NO TO SEXUAL & GENDER BASED VIOLENCE.

Education / Maduka University, Ekwegbe: Placing Enugu State On The World Map by freechuks05(m): 4:53pm On Oct 10, 2022
The dream and vision of Evangelist Dr. Samuel Maduka Onyishi, the Chief Executive Officer/Managing Director of PEACE Group, comprising of the popular Peace Mass Transit, fleet of commercial buses, to extend his business empire into the education is speedily yielding result.

Barely two years after he matched his vision with action by acquiring over two kilometer virgin forest at Ekwegbe community, in Igbo Etiti local government area of Enugu state, his dreams are turning into reality, as Maduka Onysihi Private Secondary School has already taken off, as a standard secondary school with best equipment for practical teaching of students and pupils in all science subjects.

Dr Maduka is leaving no stone upturned in his ultimate goal to ensure he builds a world class university that can be reckoned with those in civilized countries,the first of it’s kind in Africa,in Enugu state. The Speed in physical structures are being executed in the vast area of land acquired for the university is gaining momentum on daily basis.

With expectations that the tertiary education sector of the university will follow suit after the secondary schools, the coming of Maduka University ,Ekwegbe Enugu state is gradually changing the narratives of the serene and lonely communities within Ekwegbe, adjoining the popular Opi Nsukka to Enugu road, The economies of scale of the vast developing Maduka Onyishi International University is gradually drawing other investments along the route.

A Quantity Surveyor who coincidentally boarded same Commercial bus to Nsukka with this Reporter,described the citing of Maduka Onyishi University,Ekwegbe, along Opi Nsukka to Enugu road, as the best strategy to enhance and link development from Enugu to Nsukka,stating no other sector or human institution would do that more than a tertiary institution. He said the Housing Estates already established along the Opi to Nsukka road did not achieve the vision of those investors because their must be a a generalized institution that will be center or fulcrum upon other institutions/sectors will enjoy it’s economy of scale to thrive.

His words,’The citing of Maduka University at Ekwegbe eventually will provide the link that will enhance development flow from Enugu to Nsukka based on the fact that the Tertiary institution is a window upon which many other economic sectors thrive. The hospitals, the Markets, Commercial buildings, effective transport system,food sellers, book shops,Super markets, ,among others which will depend of the students and other activities of the university,will ginger a new settlement within Ekwegbe communities and along Opi Nsukka to Enugu road,in just a matter of few years’.

He commended the vision and wisdom of Dr Maduka Onyishi in extending his investment in Education and most importantly citing the institution in a serene and virgin area. He argued that it was the citing of University of Nigeria [UNN] at Nsukka, as the only visible institution at the moment that is turning Nsukka into a township and the relocation of Enugu State University of Science and Technology[ESUT] to Agbani, as the major institution enhancing development of the area. But far more than, the ESUT experience, he opined that the Maduka University Ekwegbe will not only open new settlements within those axis,but will facilitate developmental flow between Nike Enugu and Opi Nsukka, as many new companies will find it easier to access Northern part of the country from there ,instead establishing their base in Enugu metropolis.

Education / Peace Mass Transit Boss, Sam Onyishi Set To Extend Midas’ To University Educatio by freechuks05(m): 6:37pm On Oct 08, 2022
Chief Samuel Maduka Onyishi, Chairman/Founder of Peace Mass Transit (PMT) is set to extend his Midas’ touch in the road transportation business to the education sector, through his Sam Maduka University which is set to come on stream in a matter of months.

Chief Onyishi known for his Midas touch in the road transport business with the establishment of his transport company, PMT in 1995 transformed the face of the industry for good.

Through his Peace Mass Transit (PMT) company, he dared to introduce the mini-bus as a means of mass passenger transportation in the midst of the hitherto ubiquitous and fashionable luxurious buses that were prone to frequent breakdowns in transit and inflicting suffering on passengers. He also introduced the novelty of fitting his mini-buses with speed limiters.

These and other landmark innovations enhanced the comfort and safety of road travellers, thus making the mini-bus the preferred means of road transportation among Nigerians. Like Midas, Chief Onyishi’s touch turned the road transport sector to gold for him and other operators. Today, Nigeria’s road passenger transportation landscape is dominated by mass transit companies using mini-buses. Such similar Midas touch is about to be replicated in his Sam Maduka University at Ekwegbe, Enugu State.

With Nigeria’s over 200 universities, unemployment rate of about 33.3 percent, a fast-growing population, and difficulties experienced by students in gaining admission into public universities, Chief Onyishi believes there is room for more private universities like his Sam Maduka University. But his is not meant to just add to the numbers.

The new university was designed to address the failings of the existing institutions, especially in the area of addressing unemployment problems in the country.

Chief Onyishi revealed that he did not conceive the University as another business, but “as a social service which should improve the lives of people of all races, mould for limitless attainments children of all people of the world, irrespective of creed or class.

The vision is to have a citadel of learning in all ramifications, founded on the best principles and run on the best ethical practices”, maintaining that the institution is determined to build structures that would stand the test of time.

Sam Maduka University, according to Chief Onyishi, will make its graduates become employers of labour rather than being job seekers, irrespective of course of study.

He explained: “People should be able to go to school and come out of school. If you get employed somewhere, it’s good, but even if you don’t get a job, you should be able to employ yourself.

“I am laying a foundation for self-reliance because my university is an entrepreneurial university. The plan is that any graduate of our university should be able to run his or her own business, the course the graduate read, notwithstanding,” he said.

The PMT boss added: “So if you are reading history in our university, you should read history and leave the school and be able to employ yourself. If you are reading health sciences or law, you should be able to read all those courses and be able to employ yourself.”

Speaking on his strategies, Mr Onyishi said that the university’s academic curricular would be structured to include entrepreneurial and vocational courses which will be compulsory for all students in the university, irrespective of course of study.

“We are going to teach you all these courses in a manner that, by the time you come out of the university, you should be a lawyer that can employ yourself. You should be a lawyer for wealth creation or history for self-employment or self-reliance.

“The long-term goal is human capital development – providing a platform for people to acquire knowledge – and then, take care of themselves,” Chief Onyishi explained.

Located along Nsukka road, Ekwegbe, Igbo-Etiti Local Government Area of Enugu State, the university is expected to begin academic activities in December this year.

Already the building of massive infrastructure on the over 300 hectres acquired by the university, with more lands still being acquired, is in progress. “I hope to engage experienced teachers and I have gotten enough infrastructures to take off,” he said.

Sam Maduka University boasts of regular gas-powered electricity within the school, administrative office, students’ hostels, lecturers’ quarters, ICT hub, faculty of law, while the secondary school has what it takes to run a model private secondary school with a focus on quality and affordable education.

The National Universities Commission (NUC) visited the university complex on August 16 this year to assess its readiness for the commencement of academic activities. It was the final inspection visit to the university to determine the conduciveness of the site as a campus. The NUC representatives, in their remarks, said they were impressed with the campus and acknowledged that it would no doubt be a conducive environment for not just the incoming students but also the academic and non-academic staff.

A lecturer at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, who identified himself as Dr Okoli, said: “Maduka University is the destination. The edifice speaks of an emerging world-class university; again, whatever Onyishi puts his hands into must be a serious business. I’ll surely seek to work there.”

“Many people do come here and we refer them to the admin. They are coming to look for jobs; some identified themselves as professors,” a guard at the university was quoted to have said.

The Governor of Enugu State, Dr. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, who laid the foundation stone for the university in 2020, expressed delight at the driving spirit of Chief Onyishi in envisioning a University that is entrepreneurial in content, describing it as another milestone achievement.

Born in Nsukka, Enugu State, Chief Onyishi, now 59, had a particularly indigent childhood. Having lost his father at a tender age, the responsibility for his education fell on his mother, a housewife who was barely able to eke out a living. At different times, little Samuel had to do odd jobs like being a bus conductor, labourer, and truck pusher, and second-hand clothes (okirika) seller during his primary and secondary education and after.

Though very brilliant, he was unable to further his education to the university until 13 years after finishing from secondary school. The money he made during that interval as a spare parts business man in Kano enabled him return to further his education at University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) from where he obtained a degree in Social Works and Community Development.

In 1995, while still a student of UNN, Onyishi used part of his savings from spare parts business to buy two buses. While he personally drove the first bus, he engaged a driver to handle the second one.

“When I came back to Nsukka to school, I found out that as a student I had a lot of time to do other things; there was so much time. I couldn’t just go to lecture and then come back home to do nothing. So, I had to use my savings to buy those buses and keep myself busy. I go to lecture, after lecture I drive my bus. Sometimes we had lectures in the evening, sometime in the morning, but I had enough time to drive my bus.

“From the money I made coupled with what my shop in Kano was making, I bought more buses and added to the business. I eventually stopped driving in 1998 when I had 15 buses; that was in my third year. I graduated in 1999 and focused fully on my transport business. By the time I was leaving the university, I had 45 buses,” he recalled.

From that humble beginning, Chief Onyishi’s fortunes have grown to the level he couldn’t have imagined. Today PMT has over 3000 buses, and his business has grown into what is known as the Peace Group of Companies, comprising Peace Quick Response Insurance Brokers; Peace Petroleum Limited; Peace Micro-finance Bank; Peace Express Service Limited; Peace Capital Market Limited (Stock Brokers); Dealers and Investment Advisers; Maduka Commercial and Futon International Limited, the sole importers of Peace Hiace Brand of vehicles; Peace Bureau de Change; Peace Aviation Services and PMT Beijing Trade Limited China.

“This is a Divine project and that’s why we use the buses for evangelism..”

The Sam Maduka University may just be a further extension of that divine project.

Education / Peace Mass Transit Boss, Sam Onyishi Set To Extend Midas’ To University Educatio by freechuks05(m): 6:13pm On Oct 08, 2022
Chief Samuel Maduka Onyishi, Chairman/Founder of Peace Mass Transit (PMT) is set to extend his Midas’ touch in the road transportation business to the education sector, through his Sam Maduka University which is set to come on stream in a matter of months.

Chief Onyishi known for his Midas touch in the road transport business with the establishment of his transport company, PMT in 1995 transformed the face of the industry for good.

Through his Peace Mass Transit (PMT) company, he dared to introduce the mini-bus as a means of mass passenger transportation in the midst of the hitherto ubiquitous and fashionable luxurious buses that were prone to frequent breakdowns in transit and inflicting suffering on passengers. He also introduced the novelty of fitting his mini-buses with speed limiters.

These and other landmark innovations enhanced the comfort and safety of road travellers, thus making the mini-bus the preferred means of road transportation among Nigerians. Like Midas, Chief Onyishi’s touch turned the road transport sector to gold for him and other operators. Today, Nigeria’s road passenger transportation landscape is dominated by mass transit companies using mini-buses. Such similar Midas touch is about to be replicated in his Sam Maduka University at Ekwegbe, Enugu State.

With Nigeria’s over 200 universities, unemployment rate of about 33.3 percent, a fast-growing population, and difficulties experienced by students in gaining admission into public universities, Chief Onyishi believes there is room for more private universities like his Sam Maduka University. But his is not meant to just add to the numbers.

The new university was designed to address the failings of the existing institutions, especially in the area of addressing unemployment problems in the country.

Chief Onyishi revealed that he did not conceive the University as another business, but “as a social service which should improve the lives of people of all races, mould for limitless attainments children of all people of the world, irrespective of creed or class.

he vision is to have a citadel of learning in all ramifications, founded on the best principles and run on the best ethical practices”, maintaining that the institution is determined to build structures that would stand the test of time.

Sam Maduka University, according to Chief Onyishi, will make its graduates become employers of labour rather than being job seekers, irrespective of course of study.

He explained: “People should be able to go to school and come out of school. If you get employed somewhere, it’s good, but even if you don’t get a job, you should be able to employ yourself.

“I am laying a foundation for self-reliance because my university is an entrepreneurial university. The plan is that any graduate of our university should be able to run his or her own business, the course the graduate read, notwithstanding,” he said.

The PMT boss added: “So if you are reading history in our university, you should read history and leave the school and be able to employ yourself. If you are reading health sciences or law, you should be able to read all those courses and be able to employ yourself.”

Speaking on his strategies, Mr Onyishi said that the university’s academic curricular would be structured to include entrepreneurial and vocational courses which will be compulsory for all students in the university, irrespective of course of study.

“We are going to teach you all these courses in a manner that, by the time you come out of the university, you should be a lawyer that can employ yourself. You should be a lawyer for wealth creation or history for self-employment or self-reliance.

“The long-term goal is human capital development – providing a platform for people to acquire knowledge – and then, take care of themselves,” Chief Onyishi explained.

Located along Nsukka road, Ekwegbe, Igbo-Etiti Local Government Area of Enugu State, the university is expected to begin academic activities in December this year.

Already the building of massive infrastructure on the over 300 hectres acquired by the university, with more lands still being acquired, is in progress. “I hope to engage experienced teachers and I have gotten enough infrastructures to take off,” he said.

Sam Maduka University boasts of regular gas-powered electricity within the school, administrative office, students’ hostels, lecturers’ quarters, ICT hub, faculty of law, while the secondary school has what it takes to run a model private secondary school with a focus on quality and affordable education.

The National Universities Commission (NUC) visited the university complex on August 16 this year to assess its readiness for the commencement of academic activities. It was the final inspection visit to the university to determine the conduciveness of the site as a campus. The NUC representatives, in their remarks, said they were impressed with the campus and acknowledged that it would no doubt be a conducive environment for not just the incoming students but also the academic and non-academic staff.

A lecturer at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, who identified himself as Dr Okoli, said: “Maduka University is the destination. The edifice speaks of an emerging world-class university; again, whatever Onyishi puts his hands into must be a serious business. I’ll surely seek to work there.”

“Many people do come here and we refer them to the admin. They are coming to look for jobs; some identified themselves as professors,” a guard at the university was quoted to have said.

The Governor of Enugu State, Dr. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, who laid the foundation stone for the university in 2020, expressed delight at the driving spirit of Chief Onyishi in envisioning a University that is entrepreneurial in content, describing it as another milestone achievement.

100 ACHIEVERS EXTOLS CHIEF UGOCHUKWU OKEKE(ENYIOHA) @ 51


...Says he is truly a political role model

The 100 Achievers Team has felicitated with Chief Ugochukwu Okeke who turned 51 today ,the 30th May 2021, describing him as a role model who has played exemplary politics devoid of bitterness and shenanigans.

In a release by Barr Lizzy Anyaonu,the group praised Chief Ugochukwu Okeke (Enyioha) for living a life of sacrifice in politics and as a private individual. They also appreciated him for his enormous contribution towards the progress of the country particularly where it relates to party development in Nigeria.

The group further urged PDP to see ways they can leverage Chief Ugochukwu Okeke's wealth of experience in politics and advised they seek ways such experience will be useful in furtherance of harmonious co-existence at intra and inter party levels and stated that true to the word,nobody will dispute the fact that chief Ugochukwu Okeke has remained loyal to his conscience and the dictates of party and in no small way continues to contribute to the growth of the People's Democratic party since 1999 without wavering.

Speaking further, they admonished all the political actors in Anambra especially those who are playing active part in November 6th governorship election to learn from the kind of attitude Enyioha has developed for politics adding that such is the kind of politics that can bring development to any country.

They also commended him for being a bridge builder in the PDP and wondered why the leadership of the party at national and state level have not deemed it necessary to recognize the great role chief Enyioha has played in sustaining the ideals of the party.

Concluding, the group urged younger generation of politicians to go close to characters like Chief Enyioha who have continued to build the party with truth , honesty and loyalty adding that it can only be through the steady pursuit of these ideals that a country can attain greatness

They prayed God to grant him strength with which he will continue to contribute his quota to national development through strengthening of the party politics .

Politics / Anambra 2021: Americans Call Me “african Miracle Worker”- Dr Godwin Maduka. by freechuks05(m): 9:49pm On May 27, 2021
PDP frontline aspirant and billionaire medical doctor has explained why he is dubbed the African Miracle worker in the United States of America.

He stated this recently in the just concluded second phase of 21 local government tour where he had interactions with all PDP delegates on the best way to position the party for victory at the polls. He stated that Americans belief in him is a sure testimonial that he is the perfect man for the job.

Speaking to PDP delegates at the PDP secretariat at Udoka housing estate, the venue for the interactive session with Awka South delegates, he told them that his joining the Governorship race isn't for the appurtenances of office which is the base reasons most political office seekers do so. He said that what propels his ambition is to unleash the creative ingenuity of ndi Anambra and place it in the comity of developed States in Nigeria.

"There comes a time in life when you no longer worry here and now , but about posterity; when you hinge your wagon to ideals higher than yourself, to collective progress and success which transcends one person. I already have all the money I will ever need and the gains that comes with excellence in my field. But I am not complete if my home state does not have the attributes of my success. This is what propels my ambition", he said.

He stressed on living an impact driven life because at the end of the day, nobody can make a private bargain with history. He added that he wants to replicate his exploits in America here in Nigeria. “I am respected in America because of the value I have created and continue to nurture in the health sector. My name open doors in Las Vegas. This is because I am a critical player in the American health sector. I have proven to the world that there is nothing wrong in our DNA. Success is what I want to replicate here at home and I have started in Umuchukwu already in my capacity as a private citizen. For the records, I didn't set out to transform Umuchukwu because of politics. I am not a politically motivated philanthropist. It was pure love for my roots and for humanity. Anambra is set to be the medical hub of Nigeria. I am not saying this because of politics. You can judge me by the success I have achieved in my career, education and community development. My works are a litany of success. I am already an all round success in my career, family, education, philanthropy so I won’t fail you in governance. We have done so well elsewhere in another man’s land, we want to do that in Anambra. Anambra has produced many great people like Zik, Dr Alex Ekwueme, Ojukwu, Chinua Achebe and many others. The only thing we owe to their memories is to make their home state great again. It is a tough job, but not impossible. Here I am. Send me."
