Governor Obiano is Expanding Estates Around Awka
Housing is one of the critical needs of man. State governments in Nigeria have different approach towards tackling the housing deficit in their domain.

Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano in December 2019 inaugurated a N13bn estate to solve the housing needs of residents of Awka, the state capital. Obiano recently laid the foundation stone for the construction of the project, a smart city called Awka Millennium City (AMC).

Obiano, during the inauguration stated that AMC, also known as ‘Millionaire Estate’, would have all the infrastructure found in any modern city, and would be an ideal place for the rich in the society to live in.

The obiano administration is very much committed to housing development and he's therefore doing all he can to ensure that housing deficit in Anambra is reduced. He has engaged the private sector in a public private partnership to build estates at a much lower cost to the individuals.

The World Bank estimates Nigeria’s housing deficit to be 17 million. This figure is increasing yearly by 20 per cent.

Hence, to bridge this gap, the World Bank recommends at least 700,000 units annually “to keep up with growing population and urban migration”

So the government needs to continue building more houses at low income prices to enable people to live in a sheltered environment.

Housing developments fast growing in Anambra.

Would Obiano rent those ugly houses he let people litter everywhere with. Obiano has moved from where he is currently living in Spring Cypress and moved to a wealthy Woodlands Woodlands castle. Now, how could Obiano build those ghetto houses and expect wealthy Anambra men to rent. Look at the environment , no trees , no flowers no designs...just an ugly structure with bricks. May all Nigerian politicians bleed and die miserably!!

phoenix911:
Why they are not building it is because not only in Igboland but the whole country celebrates mediocrity. Another excuse is there no electricity to power the lift, I said why not use solar for the lift and water, for now, the excuse again is it is too expensive.

When you dont plan you plan to fail! Nigeria and Anambra is to ready to move into the current world. With all the billionaires we parade what's up? Anambra has over 100 billion , whats up ? Our leaders are worthless oidiots who don't give a ffuck about that sshit hole. After all, their children are based abroad studying

maidaboi:
actually not everyone some of us believe in him

I dont believe in Sadiq not because he isnt talented but because he is a freaking northerner....lmao...joking guys

No, seriously, I dont fancy the guy. I dont see him benching Osimhen, Iheanacho etc. Make the guy go enter kano pillars follow join carpenters republic...

Joebie:
Nerdie has probably thrown more insults at people here than anyone has. Even at me. So your accusations is unfounded.

Honestly, speaking, Nerd throws shades but dude is always well behaved and respectful until they came calling. Very cunny and crafty but decent and I can live with that. Nevertheless, it doesnt change the fact that some persons here cant stand the Nerd...I know this and I have seen it. For instance, many forumite have engaged in this online bickering but those who disagree with Nerd has a special way of addressing it.

Joebie, youb be my G and I am not saying you are like that but there is these aggression I have noticed in your behavior of late and it wasn't there ,initially. Just an observation.
But I know when niggas aint getting some sugar...lol

andrewbaba44:
People beefing nerdy ? Lol on a faceless forum ?

We just argue here, i dont think anyone is beefing anyone

Jobie would even hardly throw insult on anyone here

Las las thesupernerd and jobie will just be smiling where they are, these things here arent serious as most of you think jare

Papa Azubuike Modric okechukwu

Pass-less Ndidi, did you think I was born yesterday ? I have watched many here throwing shots at the guy accusing him of feeling "******"

However, I know what the problem is.

benji93:
On TheSuperNerd Joebie issue, make una take am easy. . On one hand, SuperNerd's post was quite misleading. Unless he changed it, this is what I believe he wrote: "Started a move by holding onto the ball before picking his pass, sending a calm ball to the right-wing for the winger to carry on and pick a cross and it resulted in a goal".From that statement, we can literally conclude that Nwakali's contribution came just before the assist. But according to the video, David Ferreiro(7) provided that pass to the wing, from which the resulting cross led to a goal. I understand Joebie's angle but commenting that he lied(which he used later) was probably a little too much. . I agree it was misleading though. For someone who doesn't quite like Nwakali(which is normal), the context of that statement may be suggesting that we should start looking at Nwakali again. I hope TheSuperNerd understands that the comment wasn't quite clear. I guess he wanted to get people to notice that Nwakali is getting back to his level. But joebie won't have that. Not at all.

Of course, Nerd's comment was hazy but we are excited our golden boy is playing again. Joebie got to tell us what's the deal with him because he is way out of line.

Joebie has turned into something else, my goodness. Nigga never used to be this sensitive and so soft.

I think alot of people here are secretly beefing Nerdy but they are just waiting for the opportunity to perch and stab! But , it's just so childish...lol

Disclaimer: Joebie I am not saying you got issues with Nerd.

sassysure:
Can u be able to compile profs in anambra state?

I know my town has not less 8. I know of 5. I read nnewi has the highest number followed by onitsha.
It used to be a heated debate when we go for state quiz competition or anything competition.
For those that think anambra people don't go to school.
U have to include both dead too.

Whoever that said Anambra people don't go to school should compile the names of famous educated people from their state...Imo people with their Mbaise education will never seize to,amaze me

The fact that Lagos which is a Yoruba land was the capital of Nigeria and they have used this advantage to manoeuvre many favors doesn't mean you are better. Lagos is your saving grace but enjoy it while it last.

Obamaofusa:
How come Yorubas have the best lawyers,doctors,technocrats etc?

I really dont think Yoruba has the best of these profession...You may have
more lawyers but you dont have the best , neither do you havr the best technocrats or or doctors.

proeast:
Dave Umahi is by far the best governor in Nigeria today. Before you argue unintelligently, calculate federal allocation and IGR of each state and relate it with what the governors built and you will see why Dave Umahi has no comparison whatsover.

Equally, you should also factor the cost of running Ebonyi in line with their needs.

Honestly, speaking , I think the governor has built some monumental projects which I really don't think is important at this stage and people are confusing that with good governance. Ebony has more pressing need of human development and the state is not financially buoyant but you are spending billions building large markets and ICC. Why dont you spend all that money to build trade schools for artisans? Talking about misplaced priority.

As for those comparing Umahi to Obiano on what basis are you comparing them ? Education , Roads, Investment , Healthcare , Security , Poverty index , Environment ?
See, it's not a good idea to begin to compare the two states because they have different challenges. Every part of Anambra is seeing surging development and it's hard for the governor to keep up with infrastructures. In contrast, Umahi is more concerned with beautifying Abakeleke...he does have some solid projects but they are few and far in between.

I , personally , dont think Obiano has done his best but he was never a failure ! He sustained security, opened the state for investment , brought our cultures back but the state never got to the NEXT level.

See the horrible pictures wey you dey post...una don slaughter Aba finish

Good evening sir

Craze man, how you dey?

Has Ndidi learned how to play passes yet ?

zoboizee:
.

Nwakali at best is a DLM and at most a CM/RW. I have watched him played in the U17, U20, U23, Dutch div 1&2, and Porto B. Save the argument bro. The man you quoted have said it all.

Nwakali at best is an oriented playmaker. I also watched him and he is a pure play maker with an eye for scoring breathtaking goals.

The man I quoted is emotionally unstable. And , tone it done and stop acting like a freaking authority here. Abi you high

charlesemeka85:
and who told you nwakali had the attributes to metaphose to a good AM? Nwakali's best position on the pitch is cm or a deep lying playmaker. He lacks agility, pace and strenght to fuction as a complete AM.

I will even prefer deploying aribo as An AM in the current super eagles than nwakali

This is not about who told me , or do you think I am blind. You always sound like......lol.

Nwakali is a legit AM and CM because he organizes and create clear cut chances. Stop getting all emotional

The history is in order. Good luck to Etche and may you people prosper ! Peace

superlightning:
You Are the one derailing it, STOP SLANDERING non-anambra IGBOS here, it won't help you....okay? IMO

Nobody is slandering anybody and please write Anambra starting with capital letter. I know you are not blind!

Why can't you get out and open Abia state thread. Are you ashamed of showing us what's happening in your shithole Abia state?

Open a thread and talk about what exactly ?? He has nothing to fight for, nada! That is why he is here to disrupt our thread. They know what we are working with and that makes him feel little but he turns around and say I am insecure yet I don't even know his state and lineage exist. Nigga is sad!

superlightning:
stupid question from a stupid brain

All these igalla-anambra citizens dividing ndigbo and talking trash be warned.

What is it with you and Igala, people. You sure are a mental case. You are obsessed with Anambra and it's unhealthy. You are pained the way Anambra people guard and protect their culture so fiercely...you madd nigga


You will never see me in Abia or Imo thread and when I decide to visit these threads I drop kind words and nobody insult me. But we can't say the same for you....this thread gives you sleepless nights. If you spend more time researching about your people and what makes you unique you won't have time for this thread.

You were the same guy that told us you are Aro and that Aro are the greatest of Igbo land....I am happy for you about your Aro achievements. Now , can you just go and leave us the heck alone

Omanbala ebuka. Ayi nwelu ebu nwee nfu.

charlesemeka85:
the problem majority of super eagles fans is that they love dwelling in the past. The u17 world cup that nwakali stared in was many years ago so he needs to dust his lazy ass and get to work.

Boiz football is different frm that of men. I had high hopes in him which vanished after he flopped in the dutch top tier and still couldnt hold down a regualr place in porto 2nd team. Lets hope and pray that he finds his feet in huesca inorder to fullfill his huge potentials.

The nwakali i saw at the afcon u23 competition was a shadow of his old self but i wont judge him with that. He really needs to work on his stamina and agility as well as his recovery. On the ball he seems jiltery and off it he is a huge liability to his team. Coaches of nowadays dont tolerate such players, in other words, off the ball contribution is highly regarded in todays football.

You guys will curse and insult a player like iwobi who is atleast in a decent epl team but will sing high praises of a players who is still living on pass glory just because he saw 8mins of game time

Our interest in Nwakali arose from the fact that very few Nigerian players can man that attacking midfield position we so much needed. The thing with Nwakali is not preferential treatment by based on demand for an AM. Since, Okocha retired and Mikel couldnt fill in our games suffered because we dont have that natural midfield orchestrator.

However, in Nwakali we have not just a natural AM but a really gifted one, at that. Therefore, we campaigned vigorously for him to get playing time and take his rightful spot in the team. Meanwhile, the boy still have time and only time will tell how long he can keep his admirers waiting. As much as I want to see him excel and ignore all the people accusing him of laziness I am also running out of patience.

Enugupikin:
(1) Abia- Kalu
(2) Anambra - Obi
(3) Ebonyi - Chukwu
(4) Enugu - Nnaji
(5) Imo - Duru

It doesn't mean people from other states do not answer names from others but most commonly majority of people from the stated states answer them.
Other specific names include
(1) Abia- ukpai, Ndukwe

(2) Anambra - Oragwu, Oragunye(anything that begins with _ora )

(3) Ebonyi- Ibiam, Nkwagu, Elechi

(4)Enugu- Odo, Ugwuanyi, chime

(5)Imo- okwara, Iheme, Nnawuihe


Add yours

Anybody can answer Obi in Igbo land , the name cut across state lines.

As for Anambra ....names you cant find across the state include Achebe, Idigo, Obiesie, Okagbue, Izuora , Oseloka , Nwosa, Belosa, Okosa, Bosa, Chikelue, Oranyelu, Oraka, Oramelu, Oraeto, Igboanugo, Chikeluba ....generally , these would be some core Anambra names. Enugupikin Cc.

You are unintelligent

An intelligent person dont start a conversation with telling people they arent intelligent. You prove why.

superlightning:
While in Lagos, most easterners want to go to UNN! So quit spewing trash.

Was it with Ziks money or anambra money that UNN was built? Again, stop this division you are causing!

With all your nonsense, igbos from ALL SE and even SS states have contributed to the development of UNN so shut the hell up.

What if I said it was the Premier of the east, MI Okpara, an Abia man that managed UNN, or it was Prof Eni Njoku, an Abia man that was the first black VC of UNN that brought indigenous know-how in running the university, WILL YOU DARE SPEAK? Enough of this INSECURITY AND STUPIDITY DUDE, IT WONT HELP YOU.

Your posts are often filled with frustration and anger...lol. And why would any Anambra person have inferiority complex. I know the history of my people and every shread of it gives me great pride. Look at our culture and its elegance. Nwokem, gbafuo!!

Anyways, I am not saying Anambra people singlehandedly built UNN, but we played an integral role and produced most of the graduates that went on to become famous in their various fields. Rest of the trash you wrote there is non of my business. Fuckkoff !

evuna:
Mumu, you are even lucky that we value merit in UNN. You guys were crying fowl when ahaneku became VC. We gave you free hand and Enugu state is perhaps the most accommodating in the East.

Ben Ozumba was from Anambra. His daughter was my close friend.

The present VC Charles IGWE is from Anambra. Anambra has been in charge for 6yrs now but you want to blame Enugu people.

The funny thing is that all Anambra people living in Enugu are calm and less boastful.
But some will come online and deride Enugu people. Why not say it in Enugu town to an Enugu person. Idiots.

Please, address me with respect because I didnt call you any name.

Like I rightly stated earlier , the current one is from Anambra but the last three were from Enugu. You guys want to measure up but you are doing it prematurely. I am not campaigning for Anambra VCs but let the best brain run the school just like we accepted Ahaneku even with the rejection of Anambra born Bishop , who was recommended for Mbaise Diosces.

You

ejanla077:
Did you also notice that none of them is based in d south east... The one based in south west chose school in d south west.. The one based in north Central chose school in d north Central so nothing wrong stop raising dust whr u should not

And what did this say about the quality of our secondary school education....basiclly, none of the 10 best went to high school in the east. Shocking !

evuna:
The last VC was from Anambra, the present VC is from Anambra. and you are still calling Enugu people out.

Anambra made so much noise when an imo state person assumed the VC position few years back.

Asi, the last thres VCs were all from Enugu, the present one is from Anambra. Mbanefo was the last VC from Anambra before the current one. Ndi Enugu with their resentment for Anambra people forcefully took the reign of the school and ran it aground. Enjoy your mess

superlightning:
Quit masturbating in your delusion

At no time is UNIZIK better in ANY WAY than UNN.

School gate does not connote academic excellence. Only 3 schools in Nigeria have maintained constant appearance in The Higher Times University ranking. They are

- UI
- COVENANT
- UNN

This isn't webometrics or 4icu, this is Higher Times...a simple google will cure your delusion

So quit making baseless and divisive statements.

Busy writing nonsense. My comment was meant to critique UNN , a school built by an Anambra man which we also comprise the vast majority of the earliest instructors that shaped the school academic culture. My post was not to compare them because I am know the age and history of UNN. If the school was well managed it should fighting with University of Ghana.

While you are busing hyping an obviously failed University none of the jamb candidate who were the very best chose UNN. Do you still believe your source is accurate ? Afia oma na ele onwie. For instance, evey Anambra state's secondary school student wants to atrend QRC, DMGS , CKC and this is for a reason. Out of the ten best jambites, the four Igbo amongst them chose SW Universities. Reality check !

mktinsight:
The partnership with the churches to run primary and secondary schools is good. However, at the university level you need more than basics. You need a lot of money. The average SE government has a budget of less than 100 billion naira. Less than 5% is allocated to universities. So the average state university is run with a budget of less than 5 billion naira. Assuming their enrollment is around 10,000 that means less than 500,000 per student which is pitiful.

What needs to happen is for state governments to engage its rich diaspora by establishing endowment funds. Open up the governing council of the state university to esteeemed people in society to ensure the money is spent properly and raise money for the university from the diaspora. The Anambrarian diaspora can easily raise $100 million endowment for Anambra State University. Rich Anambrarians can donate buildings and establish scholarships. But you need a proper, trustworthy administration to achieve such.

I attended American university and this is how top-notch libraries, research institutes, lecture theatres are built. Harvard University has an endowment of $40 billion - more than Nigeria's government budget.

Many factors are responsible for our broken service sectors. The people involved in running the affairs of the state are just made men who dabbled in politics. Obi had his short comings with his mediocre projects but he covered a lot of grounds. The man brought sanity and stability to the states consciousness. He wasnt tasteful with his projects but he got them done. The man transformed our broken primary and secondary school system with massive funds , the results are there.

I confidently believe that Anambra state goverment can use native means to rally around our wealthy men and get them to key into key projects that can tranform the state in 20 years. Have you ever asked why are the so called Anambra billonaires are ,while Aguleri oil fields is laying fallow. These people dont believe in the state , they are all leeching on our fathers land and getting rich for themselves. Back to topic; Anambra has over 100 billion Peter Obi invested in bonds , why arent we using it. Obiano out of his big ego probably dont want to touch it after it became the topic of many public displays of dishonesty from him(Obiano). The money is sitting there and Anambra is looking all third world. Additionally, our people dont pay enough taxes. You cant live in a city and contribute just a penny. Things must be restructured and a database for everything created...there are many works to do and absolutely nothing to jubilate about. Not everybody must be a trader...we need artisans! The state is a mess.

We have more than enough to transform the state in 20 years but these worthless leaders are wasting money on non sense. The yearly sum of footing Obiano's expensive lifestyle is enough to build a world class secondary school with a stadia. Obiano is very wasteful and the cost of running Anambra is ffucking expensive. Those house of reps members are useless...just bunch of clowns on Obiano's pay role. However, all hope is not lost....we have capable hands in Obaze, Chidoka and Soludo but i feel Soludo has this elitist thing about him....like arrogant but he cant prevail in Anambra.

Once I write something unfaborable to se I suddenly become a Yoruba. This mentality is inferior and its un-Anambra. We are proud and able people with ancient history of nobility.....NOBILITY , CHIMA ADEOYE!! Onye Nze anaro eli ogholi! Face your challenges that is staring and worry less about the Yoruba and Buhari. You want to defend Obiano , well, tell him to punlish Anambra IGR!!

ChimaAdeoye:
^^^^
Umu afonja trying so hard to pose as Igbos. I won't waste time reading your long epistle nor responding to your total the crap using multiple monikers trying to deflect blame from FG on their evil deeds in Igboland.

To begin with, i am no politician's person. They cannot afford to pay me, and i say this with all humility. I am decently wealthy at my age. However, if i were to say i have routed for any politician, it would be Peter Obi. Go through my posts and you will confirm it.

Let me just state that Obiano has done fantastically well. Even with the fewer resources at his disposal. Obiano has also built more than N31 billion naira worth of Federal roads. Added to Obi's more than N20 billion naira spent on Federal roads, Anambra is owed more than N52 billion naira by the FG! But Buhari has NOT PAID ONE KOBO and will NEVER PAY because he deliberately wanted Federal roads in Igboland to be terrible to punish them! Buhari's sick vindictive character is not in question, but it should not be a reason why people should feel embarrassed showing the failure of FG. Else, they will come out and brazenly lie to you they have done every Federal road, the way Zainab Ahmed told you they distributed COVID-19 Palliatives to everyone in the SE, even when she knows they deliberately avoided the SE in distribution of the FG palliatives! . Therefore, If you are embarrassed to see the state of federal roads in Igboland, then i must have done a good job!

Obiano has continued to intervene in Federal projects when there is an emergency that threaten to kill our people. For example, there were erosion projects identified in 2017 that would swallow people homes. The Federal Government came and made their usual empty promises and abandoned the people. More than 50 buildings caved in until Obiano recently intervened, even without the massive funds at his disposal. Even the 100 foot erosion site at Nnewi and the more recent Nkisi Aroli erosion sites where Obiano has spent close to N10 billion naira on both sites! So it is silly to conjure the crap that Obiano does not do his best intervening on Federal Government projects to save our people. Even when he knows the toxic anti-Igbo Federal Government would not reimburse him.

Nwokem , you are smarter than calling me a Yoruba just like Pazienza who knew me initially with the Nri Priest handle when Onlytruth, Obiagu, Dede1, Ezeagu etc were still here. Its really childish to use ethnic sentiment to lower the importance of my post. Did you also believe a Yoruba man opened the enchantment of Igwulube Okodu thread I did a long while ago with my old moniker, Odenigbo Aroli ?

My point , however, is that nothing stops Obiano from doing federal projects that add value to the life of average onye Anambra....dont make excuses for him, rather challenge him to do more. Additionally , I am very well placed financially and I have lived in U.S for over 10yrs....so, we are not all hungry like you thought and I dont belong to any political party neither do I have association with Anambra politicians. My concern is driven by the investments and political interest I have in the state of my ancestors. I hardly talk about my town , self nor Anambra rich men...I am,however , deeply interested in the well being and quality of life of every indigenous Anambra person. If Buhari decides that he would not build projects in the state because they didnt vote him .....that is an easy route for secession !!! Let Obiano grow some balls

Ekene ghaa nku aka obulu mkpali. Okenye adi ano n' unor eghu anwuo na ogbuli. I dont beat around, whether good or bad.

ChimaAdeoye:

The road is the Onitsha - Aguleri road also called Nkisi road or 33 road.

It is a Federal road and Obiano opted to dualize it to ease access to the Onitsha suburbs at Nkwelle Ezunaka and Nsugbe. But the FG REFUSED Anambra State Govt. request to dualize the road. The worst part is that even the FG itself also refused to do any type of rehabilitation on the road!

That is part of the terrible frustration with the governance structure of Nigeria today. The Federal Govt. will deliberately marginalize a region by refusing to do basic infrastructure as roads, then they will also bar anyone or the state government from providing the amenity!

I have been watching you for a long time and it seems like all you do is highlight the federal government short coming while you excused the failure in Akpokuedike's government. I think its important for the decency of this issue for me to bring to your knowledge many instances ,in which, Obi , as Anambra state government used state money to build projects that are responsibility of the federal government. Initially, the federal government were foot dragging and Obi is his endless love for his people dipped into state funds and build every projects including private schools. In his defense for using state funds to build federal projects , he states " these structures are going to be used primarily by Ndi Anambra. Thats pure love , patriotism and wisdom on the part of Okwute Omanbala.

These projects ranging in the sum of 48 billion and the feds refused to pay but it was still Obiano who pressured the the feds until they paid up. Needless to say, but the governor (Obiano) made a lot of noises about the funds but we didnt hear anything regarding the funds when it was eventually paid up. That's deception, for one.

And now that relate issue have surfaced again, and you think Obiano has no mandate to deliver dividends of good governance to Ndi Anambra. The fact that the feds asked him not to construct the road is not a good reason for Ndi Anambra to keep suffering...Obiano is making a convenient excuse. Like I said several times, Obiano doesn't have the aggression , frugality and wisdom to take our great land to it destined position. Obiano is a failure and this is coming from a person who campaigned for him here when Obi picked him up.

Dont even get me started with our IGR!! Poor Poor Poor!

TAO12:
Yes, you must pray for him because all his Edo subjects are his slaves.

The Yoruba-Obas of Benin consider their Edo subjects as their slaves.

These Yoruba-kings of Benin and the Edo people whom they rule over till date (and forever) are from different ethno-linguistic stocks.

See an instance of what I'm talking about in Roth (1903), p.103 below:

"The royal right of abuse seems to have survived to the last days, for Gallwey (p. 129) mentions that “the Benin people are free, but are treated as slaves by the king, the title of king's slave being considered an honour." We have seen above that for different reasons the king claimed male children, widows and slaves belonging to deceased subjects; he could hardly get much more, so that the mass of the people were practically slaves to the king, and those who were not to the king were so to their chiefs."

No king considers his subjects to be his slaves if indeed they are one and the same people. Food for thought!

cc: Igbos, OhanaezeNdigbo, NnamdiKanu, IPOB, MASSOB, Biafra

Like I said, its their culture even if you thought it deamening. And , in order for respect and peace to prevail I will tolerate Bini and their reverence to their king and hope they do same and respect the Igbo "every man is created equally" philosophy.
