agbameta: We are talking about modern malls started, completed and commissioned and this nnewi village Dullard is talking about some worthless newspaper and isi ewu joint peoject wey no see the light of the day.....

When was the last time you villagers started and commissioned anything gan sef.?

Ibo logic is always upside logic.

I didn't mean any harm, I was just encouraging the entire region not to rest on its 3billion naira mall oars citing a State of the federation as a mere example.

The new campaign against the biafranization of this govt by yorubas led by their media is taking shape but we'll see how it goes with the former target failed.

warrior01: Useless article. You guys can do a better propaganda than this na

shut your dirty mouth, the debate was watched live and it was obvious Obiano is a failure and fyi, this is from thisday!

SW is coming up with their 3billion mall. maybe in 50 years time, they will start something like this on in Anambra STATE https://www.nairaland.com/1500187/n50bn-west-african-trade-centre

Lol, dude could not even make top 3 in the first debate, anywhere, I hope he is rigged in for the final debate. Even the crowd could not help clapping for Ngige

Chairman of the Nigerian Electoral Debate
Group (NEDG), Chief Taiwo Alimi, Thursday
lashed out at the audience in the venue of the
gubernatorial candidate debate at the Women
Development Centre Awka for not playing by
the rules.
The audience had on two occasions applauded
the candidate of the Advanced Congress of
Democrats (ACD) Dr. Ifeatu Ekelem and his
counterpart in the APC, Senator Chris Ngige
for their performance in the debate, an action
that contravened the rules governing the
exercise.
Alimi had reiterated that the rules governing
the debate were clear that no one should
applaud or react in any way and that no
member of the audience should in anyway
participate in the debate beyond observing
the candidates.
Also, indications from the outcome of
Thursday’s debate showed that the candidate
of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA),
Chief Willie Obiano, might not make it to the
finals of the debate as a poll had shown.
But a participant from the Nigerian Union of
Local Government Employees (NULGE), Mr.
Amaechi Ekeledo, insisted that the rule is
‘absolutely unenforceable’ because what we
have here are human beings who would
naturally react when good points that appeal
to the heart are being made.
Ekeledo asked: “What is the debate for? Why
do they need an audience at all if all I can do
after spending time and money to come here
is to sit down and mope? We all might as well
go home and leave the debate officials here,
and watch it in television since there is a live
transmission anyway.”
Bruce Oguajulu of Alliance for Democracy
agrees with Ekeledo, when he said “It is
extremely difficult to say that people should
not one way or another show emotions. In
fact since my secondary school days, all
debates that I have attended had provisions
for debaters to score marks based on
audience reaction to their delivery.
“This stooge approach cannot work, so (Taiwo)
Alimi and his people should take a second
look at that section of the rule because noting
is perfect.”
A teacher, Ndu Igwedibia, however differed
because according to him “the rules were
clear before the blast of the whistle and those
who could not adhere could have stayed at
home and viewed it on television.
Attendance at yesterday’s debate was poor
with observers crediting it to the fact that the
audience did not only have any role to play
but tied to too many inhibitions.
Meanwhile, the fact that Obiano may not
make it to the finals reserved for six
candidates this evening became manifest when
out of a sample of 30 persons interviewed at
an exit poll conducted at the venue, 14 voted
the candidate of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), Senator Chris Ngige, as their first
choice candidate in the first session of the
debate; six voted Dr Ifeatu Ekelem of ACD, five
for Austin Nwangwu of CPP and four for
Obiano and one for Aaron Igwe.
Ngige however identified energy as the only
reason many industries are dead in Anambra
State and promised to reverse the trend by
buying an Independent Power Project that
would inject 1000 megawatts of electricity
into the state.
But Obiano recorded a major contradiction,
promising to get the state’s oil refinery at
Aguleri working in his first 100 days in office,
only to declare at the later part of the debate
that he would ensure the refinery works
within the first nine months in office.
Both candidates fielded questions from a
three-man panel on what was considered the
most critical issue in the state and what they
would do to tackle it in the first 100 days in
office.
Obiano, who was late to the debate, had
claimed that a motor accident forced him to
use another route to the venue and was
warned twice by the moderator, Nancy Ilo, to
desist from personal attacks.
Ngige who said the most critical problem in
Anambra was security, added that “I will
address this issue from the curative approach
in my first 100 days in office.”
Apart from Ngige and Obiano the other
candidates who participated the debate held
at the Women Development Centre Awka were
Mr Chika Jerry of Action Alliance; Ekelem of
ACD; Aaron Igweze of Alliance for Democracy
(AD); Anthony Anene of the Action Congress
Party of Nigeria (ACPN) and Austin Nwangwu
of Citizens Popular Party (CPP). stood out as
the best for Anambra State as he would bring
dynamism to the governance of the state.
“Masters of Ceremonies hold the power to
educate the citizens on the functions and
actions of the government and are a very
important segment of the information
dissemination machinery that should be
harnessed by governments to inform and
educate the people,” he said.

^
you did not include the 600 million naira Prado SUVs for Fashola and Tinubu

Peter obi has no shame, these are his 'achievements' in the capital for 8 years even with no LG elections. smh.

All cancers of Nigerian journalism

This particular action cast him in bad light within the igbo republic especially following the deportation saga, I suspected he will do something about it to redeem his name. too late tho.

asha 80: pdp should simply pull out of the gubernatorial election....it is becoming and embarrising show.

I bet their court cases will drag till Nov 15
when elephants fight, Andy Ubah vs Ukachukwu vs Aurthur Eze, All multi billionaires.

I don't understand why you people wont ignore these bad belle swesterners that have become the police, the court, the judge and the prison.

PDP is in trouble, the supreme court just ordered the suspension of all pdp campaigns

ATLEAST ONE THING IS CLEAR: ALL THE SERIOUS CANDIDATES (except the clueless ones obviously planted by Peter Obi) AGREE PETER OBI IS A COLLATERAL FRAUD AND MUST BE DONE AWAY WITH. BOYCOTT APGA, BOYCOTT FIDELITY BANK (PLC), SHAME THE FRAUD CALLED PETER OBI!!!!

LOL.

WildChild00: [color=#FF00FF] Ngige from my hearing/understanding never won the debate, the reasons are as follows, how can a serving senator/ formal governor not be able to measure the number of people living in a state where he is a senator, and the ACD/ American based doctor was able to give an almost accurate figure, and his manifestors too still date back to things he has done before, wen he was in office, no new/fresh ideals "Ngige" I will complect the stadium, roads, eletricity etc, ( which the people have currently) fresh ideals, the Adc man has fresh ideals. [/color]

No new ideas indeed, the airport, the new Awka capital, completion of valuable projects does not count for you. The people does not have anything currently, where is the stadium, roads etc? The ACD may be all ideas but Ngige is more substantial. perhaps you were swayed by his 'Americaness'

Peter obi will leave govt house as one of the richest man in Nigeria, and if he succeeds with Orient refinery through Obiano, I doubt if dangote would match him with wealth.

kingbang: Clown! Am sure you didn't even watch the debate! Which Ngige won? hahahahahahaha

Atleast we can all agree Obiano won from behind along with the Peter obi sycophant

Cuche: Bad roads everywhere
No farm settlements
No stadia
Awka is not a befitting capital
minimum wage not payed
Loan burden (including from Islamic bank)
No primary health care and health personels

No/little teaching staff. some communities has 2 teaching staff for their primary schools
No low cost housing for civil servants.
No airport
None of the ravaging erosion sites controlled despite collecting about 146 billion for the control in 8 years
School fees on the high side
Very poor Infrastructure at ANSU Uli.
No scholarship for post grad. No bursary for under grad.
Peter Obi is an award winning THIEF(a.k.a. Onye-Oshi)

and instead of him or his paid agents to address these valid points, they will switch to APC not being an igbo party. fools

WildChild00: For where?

The ACD dude from US won
Followed by Ngige and then the Fidelity bank man

how did the ACD guy who was playing to the gallery win. Ngige won by showing he understands the state very well and wants to build on his previous success

Aabheaven: at least those chaffs blieved obi tried.if u hav done sumtin gud men wil praise u.y are those chaff nt praising ngige.mtcheww.....

why wont they praise him when he is sponsoring them. why not the PDP, LP and APC candidates, the serious contenders praise him

Sincere 9gerian: The debate has been concluded without Ngige responding to the unexpected jab from Obiano. Sorry Ngige

why do you expect him to respond to a petty jab. Every Anambra person knows obiano is a liar.I wont oblige you to name the roads. Google 'Ngige flags off road construction' and cure your ignorance.

Ngige won the debate by a long shot, I'm looking forward to the last debate where it'll only be among the major contenders and not these chaffs planted by Peter obi to sing his praises.

N G I G E 2014. Ngige won, not close enough

Cuche: With all the loan Obi took he could not do so well. Imagine going to Islamic bank above all. So where is the money? thief.

But he said he government has not taken loan.

Peter obi govt is built on lies, fraud and propaganda, I had said it repeatedly on this forum.

Honestly APGA deputy gov candidate would have been a better debater than Obiano, and some people are calling him a technocrat. A techocrat that cannot present his points. yeye

sagombugo: Obbiano I repeat is jittery,always lacking the right registers and words to depict his mindset

Imagine referring to MegaWatt as Kilometer or Kilowatts intermittently

dude must have done enough cramming before hitting the debate

Aabheaven: Who said obiano lost stv debate well go and watch d clips again,he outwashed ngige and got d audience clapping.he won d debate according to the sun newspaper

what weed are you smoking?

Cuche: Is like Obiano listens carefully at Ngige speaks and then repeats Ngige speech/solution. planting trees for erosion control
Moderators should ask him first let's see

haha, exactly! The same way he copied Ngige's free education

Bulldog: they showed a different picture while running another story! What does that entail? Ngiges machinery at work... Nwanosike Onu the poster of the story is paid off. And i watched the televised broadcast and not hearsays. So no trader tried to foil the campaign except maybe for ngiges aid and henchmen. Thanks

everybody knows you are lying as shown by your last statement. Even the picture in the link you posted was not from the campaign an perhaps planted by obi. The deed is done.

Keep deceiving yourselves you paid hacks. First you said obi was in Israel and wasn't at the market until the pictures surfaced proving others, second you claimed Obiano didn't campaign in the market that day until we saw pictures, fyi the protest was shown on STV as someone who watched it stated. Take a look again bloody psycophants.
