Please stop the hype.. If Obiano could do this project what stopped him from doing similar projects depending on need across the state...

I am from Nnewi but i cant beat my chest and proudly mention any Obiano project in Nnewi town...

Obiano did well in this airport but overall i am disappointed....

Why be say na dis airport everyone keep taking about.. 6 billion naira project should be normal for a state as developed as Anambra is

You made a solid point here, bro. And to be honest , I felt Nnewi has been abandoned for many years , but it's partly because Ndi Nnewi are more business inclined than politically inclined. There is no way Nnewi could not use their financial muscles to make Obiano to rearrange Nnewi and plan it to be more visitors friendly. Ndi Nnewi are more concerned about who get money pass who. That's their problem.

And this is what happens when you have a lot of money with little exposure. Also , there is a big divide between the Nnewi businessmen and the political/elite class.

I love the fact that we built an airport, needless to say I was not in support because I felt we had other pressing issues like pipe borne water, retraining primary and secondary school teachers to reach their best potentials. I felt like channeling these funds in upgrading our Teachers College to international standards, building trade schools( Carpentry , Iron works, Mechanics with license) , to keep upgrading our rural hospitals to full capacity. I wanted Obiano to plan the towns around Nnewi , Onicha , Awka , Ihiala and Aguleri/Umuleri so that when developments starts spilling into these towns they dont end up becoming a slums another slum like Okpoko. I wanted many things before this airport but the airport is here and I can't pull it down. My only choice is to keep hammering on the areas I felt we need urgent improvements. I want every areas and sectors to be touched and improved.

Of course, the battle is between Godwin Maduka and Charles Soludo....anybody paying good attention can see that.

Ora soup w/o ogili Igbo , ora leaves and ede uli isn't ora. At least , not to Anambra people.

This is NOT ora soup....Anambra who are the originators and masters of ora soup use ogili Igbo and ede uli. Again , you didnt cook ora soap!

Great thread.

Leicester City: Kelechi Iheanacho drops disasterclass at St Mary’s

Leicester City missed the chance to strengthen their hold on a Champions League place as they were held to a 1-1 draw against 10-man Southampton on Friday night.

Jannik Vestergaard was sent off in just the ninth minute of the game but Brendan Rodgers’ Foxes could not find a way through before the interval, even falling behind to James Ward-Prowse’s second half penalty before Jonny Evans rescued a point.

A huge culprit of Leicester’s failure to earn three points at St Mary’s on Friday was in-form striker Kelechi Iheanacho. Despite having scored 14 goals in all competitions since early February, the Nigerian was a disappointment on the south coast last night.

According to WhoScored, he had three shots throughout the game, failing to draw Saints stopper Alex McCarthy into any strenuous work with any of them.

He provided two key passes and it was his cross which was headed home by Evans for the eventual Leicester equaliser[b] but that does not quite tell the whole story of Iheanacho’s evening.[/b]

The £13.5m-rated striker could only accumulate a woeful pass accuracy rate of 58.3%, which was by far the worst from a Leicester player This is compounded by the fact that Iheanacho lost possession on 16 occasions throughout the 90 minutes according to SofaScore as he continually struggled to control the ball.

Having also failed to complete a dribble and being flagged offside once, the Nigerian served to frustrate his team.

To compound that frustration, the former Manchester City man was at fault for the hosts’ goal, with his handball directly resulting in a penalty kick being awarded and then converted by Ward-Prowse.

Considering that the Foxes were up against ten men for almost the entire match Rodgers will surely be fuming at Iheanacho’s hugely wasteful performance against Southampton

A pained English man wrote this trash....lmao

Vardy missed two clear chanc. Castagne missed one and this journalist wants to write about Iheanacho who created about 3 clear cut chances

Subzero047:
We should be looking at Ehizibue as an option for the right back, Aina is not it

I never rated Aina and will never rate him....the boy is crappy. The fact that Rohr keeps Awaziem on the bench for Aina is mind boggling

BascoVanVeli:
Maddison keeps feeding Vardy instead of looking for Iheanacho. IMO those 2 out of the team would help Iheanacho really flourish.

Aren't both of them English ? You know the "good old boys" thing.

Iheanacho is in a beast mode, at the moment. His touches are so beautiful. The deft touches , passes , volleys and overall confidence are back, and even getting better. Leicester don't seem to understand what they have on their hand.

By the way , Ndidi needs to shoot better. He is getting better with the ball but he had a rare chance to score a stunner today and waste it.

Vardy is down on confidence. He had two good chances to score today and missed them.

PetroDolla2020:
Can you imagine the rubbish? A player scored 19 goals in Serbia A, so what? I’m disappointed in you nigerians. I thought you guys were smarter. A guy scores 19 goals in Serie A? What has that got to do with anything? Fuckeduppedness This is damn funny. Nigerians never learn, walahi!

You have too much anger in you over a simple football rivalry. Chill abeg

12large1:
Fam Idc that much about the world cup due to politics, biased and unfavortism and I know that most likely, an African team will not even reach semi final so what's the tussle? But, if Nigeria cannot beat ghana with this our present squad and their failing squad, then do we deserve to attend the world cup??

Don't blame your misfortunes at the world cup on this flimsy excuse that FIFA is biased against African teams. Look at your domestic leagues and tell the progress you have made. Your best players are untrained and rot away at the NPFL.

Simply put , you don't deserve to win even a plastic cup!

Icon4s:
About 1 hr 30mins trip.

When I was in Akwa-ibom back then i never missed Enyimba's games, even though I was part of Okey Emordi's backroom staff.

The atmosphere was always electrifying. The singing, drumming and Prayers of the fans.

I remember one of the games in 2004/2005 against Esperance, I think in the semifinals of CAF Champions league that year. That the fans knelt down at some point and starting praying and shouting Jehovah...! Jehovah...!!. We drew that game but drew again in Tunis and won via penalties.

Crazy stuff back then. Aba boys didn't care much about what was happening in England and Europe. Na wetin dey happen to Enyimba both in the NPFL and CAF Champions league dem know .

Memories

Unfortunately I am not sure the restrictions on number of fans would have been lifted in the quarter finals.

Those were the glorious days of Enyimba. When Khadiri Ikhana marshalled instructions from the sidelines....beautiful memories. I read complete sports daily just because of Enyimba and local league. Enyimba paraded one of the most beautiful playing midfield pair in Muri Ogunbiyi with so much skills and guile and the athletic and tireless Onyekachi Okonkwo....these two were phenomenal. It still hurt me Muri didn't play for Nigeria.

Arabiandude:
Haaland is big, imposing and a speed star. Iheanacho is too sluggish to act as a point man. That doesn't mean he won't score some goals as a pointman when he have a good AM that's good with final passes

Even if you put a good AM behind Nacho an intelligent defender can easily outsmart him, because Nacho is not aggressive, a bit slow and one legged. Therefore , the best option is to play him where he would get less attention/not the point man and have him sneak up on the box 18 late minutes and strikes. Thats where he functions best and his ability to score is almost unmatched.

nairalandankrah:
Not in this form!

Who doesn't know playing Nacho as a #9 is a disaster.....please , let's drop that idea. Nacho has limited positions he can play and if you try to use him wrongly you will end up with an incompetent player. I have heard people say Nacho should play #10 and I wonder where these ideas are coming from. He doesnt have the lungs nor the skill set. The boy can only function between the #10 position and #9 , shikena.
If Iwobi who is more skillful couldn't cope in the #10 position what makes you think Iheanacho would. Iheanacho has limited abilities of which are his pinpoint passes/creating goal opportunities/ deft touches and scoring goals with ease due to his excellent vision around the 18yrd box.
Now, you cant because he plays good passes and score breathtaking goals and force him to play #10, which requires a player who can function in tight spaces. He will fail there. Lets be careful. We have seen how misusing a player can do to him, in Etebor.

Enyimba na Aba Ngwa! Ife ana akoro ebe ona adi.
My darling club.

andrewbaba44:
His comment is full of hate

Nnaa, everything is not hate. If so, we can all agree you "hate" Nwakali and Azubike Okechukwu. Have you forgotten so soon....internet never forgets.....lol

elunico:
How many chances was Simmy given before he was dropped? Onuachu has been given more chances and he's shown that he can't be our undisputed number 9.

Hold up play - zero
Aeriel dominance - zero
One-two passes - zero
Speed - not up to scratch
Technique - zero
All these we've seen while in the GWG jersey.

Danm! You dont really like the guy...lol
Anyway, like I said the man was usually played out of position by no other but our great magical tactician, Rohr. Onuachu can deliver but you have to play him right. Players like that exist.

elunico:
Onuachu is not reliable. His 2 goals for us so far were just luck.

He's not good for us at the moment. Especially under Rohr. He may find his Mojo under another manager.

Bros, don't write Onuachu off yet because he hasn't actually been spoiled with many opportunities to prove and impress, and even when presented he was played in a system that starved him of goal opportunities.

Iheanacho is a good example of how a player can be rendered useless by using him wrongly. Some players like Etebo can play as SS , RW , CM and even DM while some doesn't have that flexibility.....Iheanacho and Onuachu probably falls into the later.

TheGoodJoe:
With all the celebrations of Iheanacho going on, I am still mad angry with Leicester City due to the way they treated Ahmed Musa. I just want to go to foxestalk and give them a piece of my mind.

However, I will not spoil their minds. Let them enjoy while Iheanacho keeps delivering the goodies.

To be brutally honest , I wasn't expecting Ahmed Musa to sparkle in the Premier League. He doesn't just have the quality....and yes, I know Ahmed Musa from his early days with Kano Pillars and he never had that solid consistent finishing. So , don't be so mad...not every player will make it in the EPL.

K0MEKN:
Too many mentions

Emotive prejudice at its peak

Iheanacho has come good but osimhen has been a 80 million waste man

Shishh nigga!

Where are those lengthy epistles filled with wonderful emptiness ?

elunico:
I remember how I and a number of people on here came for you when you opined that Nacho was soaking in drills and with time we'd see the results. Well, I wanna apologize to you for that.

Cc. elunico

While I think Nacho has learned from watching from the sidelines, however, I will never accept he was not ready to deliver. Rogers didn't just believe in him even when he scored. We can all agree that injuries to his favourite boy forced him to play Nacho.

The characteristics that made Iheanacho so deadly is his invisibility around 18yrd box and the fact that opposing defenders don't consider him a big threat. He snicks up on them and within splits of seconds and the ball is on his left and the scoring chance is like 30% , of that 30% he is 80% sure to put it in the net. Iheanacho is quite a unique player in the sense that he is not your typical traditional striker , not physically imposing , not a great ball holder and his skill set is pretty much basic. However, his two deadliest abilities are the fact that he can create scoring chances and near perfect goal scoring ability.

Go school you no go gree. Imo state, the most educated state in the entire country and with the highest literacy percentage in the all sub Sahara Africa is leading the nascent igbo revolution for the entire igbo race.

all you do is visit your 4 by 4 spare part shop with a lack of sense of inhibition. packing 100 thousand naira in your 30 naira pocket. talking tough.

you're the cursed one and your kinsmen know this. Ask the great late Ojukwu why he refused your state a military bonker?

ewu ahia

You can insult the guy if you want but leave Ojukwu out of it....Proudly Nwa Omanbala

That ICC better wear a beautiful look...the roofing will say everything

Useless thread with no content....whuch bini dressing

I see flood of goals in this match. At least, more two goals. And yes Iheanacho needs to work on his right foot. I know that's awkward for a lefty but he should try harder.

PROUDIGBO:
The state gov't is pretty much USELESS in this regard!

Can this rubbish happen if the thievery is going on in Daura and the president at the time is Igbo?

I hate cheating!

Right under out nose ....smh. The nerve of these Indians and Chinese.

Philipxxxx0:
please who name the airport Chief Willie Obiano International Airport ??

That poster is the only one that calls the airport Chief Willie Obiano airport, nobody else. Watch his comments

globemoney01:
People dont know the reason why I support Gov Obiano 100%.. I saw his plans for the state from beginning and knew what he wants for the state. He has laid the foundation for Anambra to only compete with Lagos in the future.. If the next governor continues with his template then in the 10 years Anambra will comfortably compete with Lagos.. I'm very confident if he has more time, he would achieve that himself but I hope the next governor buys into this plan..

Anambra used to lag behing Enugu in IGR but not anymore... The state is now performing among the best in Nigeria in every indices of governance.

Look at this leprous leech! You don't want to campaign for Ngige , anymore! People like should be in chains .

PROUDIGBO:
This is the key....as well as capture ALL taxable adults/workers, commercial/industrial businesses, real-estate/tenants, commercial transportation operating in the states parks, and any thieving oil and gas coys syphoning the states hydrocarbons with the help of Abuja!

However, there are no structure in group to cover all taxable adults , businesses and residents. Anybody that has the finance to erect a mansion be it in the village should pay taxes , at least 100,000 annually.

ANSMEDIA:
Anambra is now in top 10 states with highest IGR in Nigeria. All we need to hit 50 billion per annum is just blocking of loopholes. With Anambra international airport, international conference centre, 2nd Niger bridge, Awka Millennium City, Onitsha/Nkwelle luxury estate, etc, expect the GDP and IGR of Anambra to soar even higher

The poor igr of Anambra can't be blamed on leakages. The state simply doesn't have the infrastructure to maximize its tax potentials. How can we be the 4th largest economy yet place 10th on igr generation. This is very poor.

PHijo:
Why should I tell you?

All the names there are names I can tell you the meaning. Knowing how you Igbos behave, I won't tell you the meaning.

People know the word "so" is associated with all the Oru .

Keep quiet because you simply don't know the meaning....you are a fraud!
