Awka or rather whole of Anambra needs serious intervention!
The video you posted are all old looks of owerri..
Owerri is better, organsed than your unplanned village State capital.. Awka didn't come close at all
Please, watch your words!
And where are you from ? If want to be civil and constructive I will be fine with you but you cant win this war if you try to disrespect my father land.
I am still Onye Omanbala and very proud of our mighty and enviable many achievements
globemoney01: Look at a clown worried about likes. I guess you are the one liking your hopeless posts together with your fellow clowns waiting for me to stop posting so they resume their nonsense.
Anyway Ebele Obiano is senator in waiting. Cry blood.
AdJosh: When we talk about these things, imbeciles that do not know anything about development will come out to talk rubbish and insult everyone. We are lacking in every aspect and some village champions will come here to say otherwise, they will always show you that useless obiakor road without no marking and signs, substandard flyovers/airpot /icc or they will show you the Awka Millennium estate as awka. Awka should not be a Capital state to be honest, a lot of demolition should take place before we can use that as capital but they will not do it ..Go to Nnewi and you begin to cry ..people build rubbish everywhere and dirts everywhere , no regulation. Awka is worst capital in Nigeria .
Before the riff raff start to rant again , watch the video of our glorified capital
Of course, the current state of Awka is a symbol of shame , embarrassment and mockery to Ndi Anambra. Soludo knows this but he has so much work to do I dont envy him. Obiano set up Soludo to fail.
Firstly, Akpokuedike liquidated our savings and sunked the state in debt which makes it very difficult for Soludo to take off smoothly as it was for Obiano. Peter Obi even saved for salaries and left a fat bank account for Obiano, which Obiano himself admitted. Upon assumption assessment of the state of infrastructures Soludo discovered we have infrastructural deficit and we are broke as ffuck.
Now , look at Awka and the useless bridges, look at Onicha and the mountains of refuses lifted, look at Okpoko and Nnewi. These towns were abandoned while Obiano was chasing legacy projects
ChimaAdeoye: Well, it is not Soludo's fault that previous regimes failed to develop the Anambra capital city. I just hope he listens to the advice in the video to ensure the PLANNED development of Awka and other Anambra major cities. Instead of the usual chaotic way of building up slums everywhere in the name of development. Personally, this issue has prevented me from developing my land in Awka. Since it might amount to spending money to build in a place likely to become another uninhabitable slum.
I hope Gov. Soludo takes the issue of planlessness and chaotic development of Awka and other Anambra major cities very very seriously. We just cannot continue to lose high-end investments to neighboring states because we failed to plan our cities to be decent for habitation.
Nwokem ka ibu nwanyi, you claimed to be from Oba , a town next to mine. During Obiano's tenure you were here and relentlessly propagated an incompetent government and deceived Ndi Anambra and Nigerias Obiano was the Messia, but today you couldn't muster the courage to condemn his failed government. Its despicable and it shows you have no integrity.
You , Oremi and CJrane celebrated Obiano like he was a savior and as soon as he left office and his misdeeds started coming to the surface you people bolted and now you are here using phrases like "previous government "....ina eli ogholi !
You people celebrated the ICC and airport he built with Obi's savings and abandoned greater Onicha project, Awka and Nnewi. Ifele ana emekwo unu ?
Are you not ashamed how our state capital Awka looks like Eke Umuoji.....are you not ashamed?
With him at the helm of the affairs of this country, my Hope is Renewed.
He is coming or cuming.....una go see ojuju Calabar. All the Yorubas and other ethnicities whom Tinubu had used his agberos to intimidate, kill and oppress will pay him back.
Read this and remember it....TINUBU will be demystified come 25th of February. Ambode, Osibanjo,Aregbeshola and his former Deputy governor etc are quietly waiting for him. Tinubu stole Lagos dry and used these resources to intimidate the poor and weak, and even the Lagos elites but his judgment day is here. He brags openly like a man drunk with arrogance.
Only ethnic bigots , tribalist and greedy people like Keyamo will vote for Tinubu.
Adaisback: All of you shouting Anambra this, Anambra that, stop that noise. Travel and see things for yourselves. Anambra no be una mate. If not for port, what is Lagos to be compared to Anambra state? I stand here today to say Igbos made Lagos and if we should all leave today with our wealth and businesses , you all will see that Lagos will become a shadow of it's former self in days but we won't leave until the federal govt opens up other ports. Shikena!
Cc. Adaisback
Igbo did not make Lagos! Stop this nonsense and sound like you have sense.
Mynd44: The way you guys shout Peter Obi, you'd think he did well as Governor.
Unfortunately for you, some of us have been to Anambra.
Abi kin pe Rexxie
Cc.Mynd44
Sometimes I am shocked at what this man spew here and is still allowed to be a moderator.
Oga , first of Anambra is ahead of Lagos is all indices of development during Obi's tenure. Chew on that.
Secondly, as a young man aren't you ashamed you are supporting a sick old man with dementia who runs aware from debate?? Are you not ashamed. You are a tribalist who uses your little power to ban and silence people.
Believe me you , you will not still be here if you weren't a moderator. You are a coward
bentenny: The OP don cast himself! A well brought and cultured individual esp in africa knows that you cannot walk into a person's sitting room or house with your shoes on...how much more a respected emir palace! How was this a disgrace or humiliation? These urchins sha....They just know how to display their id.iocy in public
The funny thing is that the Emir probably didn't pay attention but know i hope the news gets to the palace.
I had a big quarrel with a friend who walked into my house with his shoes on but when I visited his family I took mine off.
I thought they said Ndigbo are not politically savvy and sophisticated....breeze don blow
Daninya33: Who knows the whereabouts of Safari girl,Joseph1013 and other great sports mind that use to make the sports section steamy and hot?. The good old days where we shared our knowledge of football without prejudice,bias,insults etc
You expect people to keep hanging around while SE play rubbish...most people dont visit here anymore because there is nothing to discuss. Super Eagles have failed Nigeria with introduction of English plastic leg players like Aribo , Iwobi.
undisputedKOC: My offer still stands: I will donate N10 billion to Labor Party if Peter Obi wins 1 single State outside the South East
You dont even have one $1000.00 to place a wager....you run your mouth like tap water but when things get serious you vamoose.. I have challenged 2 Tinubu boys who want to place a bet but they always run...cowards die 7times before their deaths
investnow2013: Anambra -Born Chika Okeke-Agulu, Resumes Duties at Oxford as Distinguished Professor
A leading Nigerian academic in the United States, Professor Chika Okeke-Agulu of Princeton University, has assumed duties at Oxford University, one of the oldest and most respected educational institutions in the world, as a distinguished professor.
Though announced last year as Slade Professor of Art for the 2023 academic session, Professor Okeke formally began teaching last week at the most prestigious British university established in 1096.
He is the first African to hold this position since the chair was endowed in 1870.
According to Oxford University, the chair of Slade Professor is “always a figure of international standing in the study of visual arts”.
This is a great honour to Nigeria and the African world, declares Toyin Falola, himself the preeminent of History at the University of Texas at Dallas.
“He consistently sets Nigeria on the path of global recognition for something good, and this is easily proven by his achievements over the course of his career”, says Falola about Okeke-Agulu who was just last year among the 85 outstanding scholars to become fellows of the highly revered British Academy, the United Kingdom’s national academy for the arts and social sciences.
The school valedictorian at the University of Nigeria at Nsukka some 29 years ago who went on to receive a doctoral degree in Art History from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, United States, Professor Okeke-Agulu has written globally acclaimed books on such distinguished African artists as El Anatsui, Obiora Udechukwu, Demas Nwoko, and Yusuf Grillo.
“Chika has helped to bring the works of these great men to the attention of the world and interpreted them in a most uncanny way”, notes Ndidi Dike, a top Nigerian sculptor and painter who also graduated from the same department as Professor Okeke-Agulu at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.
“He is worth his weight in gold, and remains a great ambassador of Nigerian, nay African, people everywhere.”
Professor Okeke-Agulu hails from Umuoji in Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State.
Onye Okodu nwanne, Igwulube Okodu , Idenmili and Anambra celebrates you.
3duj: What’s with your infatuation with pigs ? Let it not be that along with all your insurmountable flaws and genetic defects that you’ve added zoophilia to them ?
But then again, by definition zoophilia means sexual relations with lower animals , it won’t be bestiality -as in your case- if you yourself is a lesser animal ?
And oh, I knowingly added the definition to spare you another 20 minutes painful deliberation with a dictionary
When you come here be constructive and civil and ignore insults thats how to deal with certain elements here. When you ignore some people who have ulterior motive they will tire out.
I can tell you those throwing insults dont care about Anambra , they are using this lively thread to perpetrate their inter-tribal hate....you know these handles and I advice you to ignore them!
globemoney01: I know you very well from Obi tenure. Anambra does not start and end in onitsha. Obiano did lots of projects across the state, infact there is hardly any LG in Anambra where Obiano didn't do roads still standing till today. The reason you call complain is that Anambra has 3 vibrant cities which are more viable than all capitals in SE. Because Okorocha earmarked dual carriage ways in Owerri he didnt build, what did he do? Obiano built the airport road from scratch, Esther Obiakor dual carriage in Awka. He rebuilt the Awka stretch of Enugu/Onitsha.
Obiano transformed Awka from a dead village to one of the fastest growing cities in Nigeria. Yes a lot still needs to be done but you cant come here and pretend a lot has not been done. Anambra is still better than ANY SE state by every indices. Anambra needs bigger funding today to solve it development challenge with massively growing cities but when a governor goes to take loan peter obi supporters will come out crying. Nonsense
You are very senseless to claim Obiano transformed Awka . Those shabby and unstable bridges does not change the filth which Awka is in today which Soludo is trying to clear and reorganize. The Eke Awka is an eyesore even up to date. Stop making noises here.
TabletMan: To be honest, I have a mixed feeling about Obiano's governance because he did some legacy project but when it comes to roads
Those legacy projects was a last minute hustle by Obiano to redeem his failed government. Remember he wanted the Chinese to finance it but the Chinese pulled out because they didn't see the viability of it and how they can take advantage of our lands. At that point the airport was abandoned. Obiano sensed he would end up a failure and out of desperation liquidated Obi's savings to build that airport and the ICC. Remember he never revealed the cost of these projects because he knows hell will let loose.
Obiano could have done well if he had focused in urban regeneration in our commercial cities of Onicha and environs , Nnewi , Ekwulobia , Otuocha areas etc. Remember it was during Obiano that Anambra lost its enviable placing in WAEC EXAMS. What was his achievement in health , roads and urban expansion ?
Obiano has continued to run from the press because he would be demolished by the questions they will through at him. How would he explain he left about four hundred million naira from over 300 billion Obi left in stocks and bonds ? The ICC and airport is not yielding that proceeds that can pay for its cost.
Under Obiano Onicha was left to rot , Nnewi was completely abandoned and his wife ran the state like a possessed JEZEBEL! If Obiano achieved 50% of what Obi did in Anambra Anambra would be a high flying state by now. Look at the waste materials lifted from the gutters of Onicha. You would think that a man who lives abroad and enjoys the impeccable city planning and organization of the developed countries would want to replace such in his home state.
Under Obiano our vast road connectivity was not built on and our roads infrastructure collapsed.
AmuDimpka: Lord bless you...they copy our culture ams try to mess it up...even till date , the red cap is ak ozo thing ...
And been an Ozor in Anambra is such a refreshing thing .... I find it funny how they will want to copy it
Dokt worry they have started giving their kids names like Ifeoma ! They find it shameful bearing Iheoma....
There was a guy from Imo who said he was gonna name his child Nnanyelugo, I was shocked because no person names there children Nnanyelugo in Anambra because its strictly an Ozo title name.....they see this things Anambra people do and immediately copy it without asking questions.
Tomorrow another one might decide to name their children Ugo n'abo.....I ffucking hate it
TabletMan: I have problem with some people on this thread because I was against the kind of roads Obi was constructing during his time, but do you know that most of them have left this thread because Obiano continues on the same part of road construction. What is worth doing is worth doing well, even Rochas manage to construct a poor-quality dual carriageway around Imo state but now Hope is turning most of those roads into standard roads while ANSG will be constructing single lanes that will be hard to fit big lorries moving across each other . I don't even want to speak of Obiano's projects cos that man do us willy-willy . I just laugh when some people call Ikpeazu a failure, The man built a lot of dual carriageways with sidewalks in Abia state and even construct a dual carriageway from Aba to his house in Umuobiakwa. Now Obingwa LG is fast joining Aba as a single city even though you don't have to see rapid new buildings like you see at Oba, Umuoji, Obosi and other adjoining cities around Onitsha.
Obi certainly was not perfect because he was trying to stretch lean resources to cover many areas lagging in development but Obiano was the one who could have took us to that greater height but he failed Anambra and slowed the pace of development.
AmuDimpka: Also we do ofala and they don't We do ozo they don't We do akwa ocha for Nze only anioma do We do amalam uno ogo...they don't We a lot they don't ... Maybe anioma.
But they don't like that uniformity Anambra has developed. They want people to stop saying "Anambra dialect"...they don't like how formidable the state is...that want to divide it and scatter the people
Anambra has a clear defined identity...we have our ethos and culture... that is the fact . the only people we even have cultural similarities are Anioma igbo but we are still Anambra and we hold our identity strong
Have you not seen Chief Imo and Apama adorned in full Ozo regalia just because they see people dress like that....its appalling!
I have wrote about how these non Anambra Igbo are making caricatures of our elegant culture and style without understanding what it means. How can a person who has not gone through the strict ritual process of Ozo title taking put on the red cap and acting like a clown. Its very infuriating.
In Onicha , that red cap are only wore by the Ndichie Umeh not even Ozo. Just because we are all Igbos doesn't mean we can do as it pleases us.
gidgiddy: Anambra is no identity. If tomorrow Nigeria is restructured and States are dissolved, there will be no where called Anambra
Anambra is a well defined identity because we are very different in many ways but still Igbo. We dance differently, speak different and look different.
Our drums sounds very different Our chants sounds different Our music also sounds different Our food is equally different
Its numerous
For example, the red cap is only wore by titled Ozo men in Anambra but other Igbo think it's a fashion thing
