And we had an igbo man as minister of health for a long while, yet he couldn't achieve any tangible thing for the SE.
Sometimes i just wonder how some projects that couldn't be completed during GEJ's tenure will be completed now. Even projects as small as the Zik mausoleum was left unfinished after 6years with GEJ on top despite the fact we gave him almost 100% of our votes in 2011. If Buhari's recent 95%, 5% comment is anything to go by, then i think we shouldn't expect any serious federal presence in Alaigbo for the next 4 years.
Buhari is doing everything possible to rehabilitate areas in the north ravaged by insurgency. But GEJ couldn't clean up the oil spills in the Niger delta, neither could he salvage the gully erosion sweeping the SE and SS states rather he was more concerned with pacifying the north, but they only hated him more.
A lot of things annoy me about Gej's administration. I just hope ndigbo won't repeat thesame political miscalculation we did over the last few years. The Ijaw, and other ethnic groups of the SS who we consider as brothers do not see us as same. They only agree we are related when it suits their propaganda, else, they distance themselves from us as much as they can.

Biko anybody that is around should help save this impending disaster in Anambra State.

I was in Onitsha on Friday along Niger Street, there is a pre colonial one storey building by the right if your going to Main Market.

This building was one storey building but when I was passing there I saw they have converted it to two storey building with pillars on the four coners of the old building.

This building is as old as Fegge, it houses Nursery and Primary Schools, its after Ugo Garments on your way to Main Market.

This is a looming disaster, we are not spoiling someone's business but we are preventing a looming calamity,

Umunnem this building collapse am seeing it in my dream, am not around Anambra State now and don't know when I will be back because I have a lot of things to do.

Whoever that is passionate about Anambra lives should help send this massage to appropriate authorities for the school to be moved from there and demolish the building.

Its on Niger Street, there a Fruit Tree infront of it, within that Zik's Avenue by Niger Street Juction ( either before or after Zik's Avenue).

Bikonu Umunnem, Chino biko send this to Ifedinmesi.

Along Niger Street, the build is first plot on the mainroad, Keke NAPEP do stop people there because of the Fruit tree that give shade there.

God Bless Ndi Anambra, God bless Ndigbo.

Beremx:
which people are you talking about? anyway,I just pointed at your hypocrisy for you to see. You cannot accuse someone of something you're guilty of. That's what you should know.


Daalu

Beremx:
You are the same person who just said Igbos who support APC and who are anti-Biafra are the ones who divide Igbos. Take a look at your comment and see if you're not guilty of what you accuse APC Igbo supporters.
Even within Anambra State,you just admitted being a supremacist


Shame on you!!

ChimaAdeoye:
Excellent advise Bro.
@ the bolded, i have always told people the first freedom fighter was Moses. How did he get his people free? Was he able to do it by killing Pharoah's servants punishing an Isrealite? No!

He was led by God and he went back to Pharoah to present his argument why he thought enslavement of his people was wrong and warned Pharoah that the wrought of God will be provoked if he didn't listen.

In this case, Nnamdi does not need to present his case to Buhari, he only needs to present his case to WORLD LEADERS and prove to them that his case is real. Leave the rest to God. If they could bring down Soviet union or apartheid in south africa without firing a shot, think of Nigeria if they are convinced it is an evil empire dedicated to the oppression of part of her citizens.

tonychristopher:
I keep telling people that oil does not make a country rich what makes people rich is the human capital I keep telling people that access to ocean doesntr make country rich, if access to ocean makes country rich maybe somalia, sudan, Nigeria, Ghana, Sao Tome would be the richest country maybe oman will be richer but the richest and the most prosperous country in EU is landlocked and they are Luxembourg and Switzerland and these countries have the highest GDP in western Europe yet they have no oil they have no access to ocean.

To bring this argument home, Anambra my home state have proved this theory to be truth from the most educated state, a state that have the highest concentration of millionaire in sub Saharan Africa, a state that have the most intellectual to a state that have the highest can do spirit and business owners, yet just like Luxembourg they don’t have oil or do I say oil in great quantity, the citizens like me care less about oil but care more about how to do the next deal or the next region to exploit. Anambra state governor, Willie Obiano has increased the salary of state workers by 16%. He announced the increase in salary during the Civil Service day celebration in Awka the state capital yesterday July 30th.

This is state that had surplus where others are broke, states that bought up other states bonds like Osun, Ondo et al. This is a state that turned education around by 360 degrees. Yes they might say these Anambra dudes beat their chest or blow their trumpets, yes it might be true but the fact is that they have the right to do so. When you look back and understand how far you have come in life, at least just like the proverbial lizard that fell from Iroko tree, what you do is nod your head. I think these peeps from Anambra deserve that.

Igbonazy:
Those who tend to divide Igbos are usually Igbo APC member and anti Biafran igbo

Check out igbo "bashers" on fb or twitter chances are that they are APC members or Anti biafra

peppyluv02:
I wonder what Nnamdi Kanu and the core Biafran loyalists will say when they stumble on our different eastern threads and see how we tear and blackmail each other. I read all these and begin to doubt if Biafran will even be a success.Shouldn't we be bothered by Buhari calling us the '5%' he will deal with. When we are not United,how can we speak against these injustice? The likes of Rochas and Ngige who supported Buhari won't say they ain't feeling stup!d now.

For those saying Anambarians are boastful, it's not really true. Just that some Igbos from other states seem to have this inferiority complex towards Anambra people. I can't forget easily how a certain woman from Imo devoted her time throughout an eight hours journey from Abuja to the east to insulting Anambra people. If not for her age and my front neighbor (Zulu Adigwe,the nollywood actor) who asked me to ignore her but throughout the journey,I was boiling. She called us unprintable names,that our men only know how to import containers and killing people with fake products while our women control their husbands and hardly marry....what led to that,I don't know but nobody insulted her or her state before she started ranting. Or is it the various Igbos who go on yoruba and northern threads to start insulting Anambra people.
Yes,I won't deny not to have retaliated in so many cases but when I realize I'm not the only one from Anambra neither do I love my state more than other indigenes,I regretted it and learning to ignore.

Please let's put a stop to all these childish insults and start thinking of ourselves as one. If some Anambarians choose to brag about their state and call others inferior or someone says Anambra is inferior,pls ignore them as that is the most painful thing you can do to stupid person.
DikeOha882, OdenigboAroli,Anambradota,Largas,Malawian,Zonacom,winnie,Abagworo,customized13,yang and others,please let's put a stop to this.

Cjrane2:
Responding to nincompoops like that boy is watering down the quality of discussions in this thread. Biko ignore him.

Ndi ofe and even some ab0kis now like to pretend to be Igbo, so that they can derail or incite Igbo vs Igbo arguements here or in Enugu thread. Let the ediots say what they like about Anambra or Igbo people, it is of no consequence.

Odenigbo complained he could not read some of their Igbo. It is precisely because they use google translate to write Igbo, in order to pretend they are Igbo. Biko, umu nwannem, Ignore the trolls.

chinology:
Donatus Okpara, I can see you want to cry because you have got back your voice? FYI: Owerri is a mess and entire Imo state is useless and worthless but its the Fact. LOL

Igbonazy:
Muhamed, STOP DERAILING THIS THREAD YOU AND ABAGURO,ARAB SLAVES

chinology:
Abagoro this is what is happening right now in your hopeless Imo state. When shall your state come out of this with the dwindling oil price when your state does not have any economic value

Zonacom:
Nwanne you are right. Even though that Angela guy/girl is a chronic igbo hater on nairaland. I'm sure morethan 90% of her posts from her different -angela monikers are anti igbo. But we must learn to tolerate

NOBLEDANDY:
First class harloot...

GspotAngela:
what of radio biafra? I think your suggestions should be fowarded to namdi kanu. He had a very large audience, instead of him to use the medium to broadcast the positives and potentials in the SE, he was busy spreading hate and venomous messages. Refering to Nigeria as a zoo; instructing ibos to burn Yoruba chuches; demanding for monetary donations that would be used to purchase arms to fight a war against the Nigerian government etc.

Non-ibos in Nigeria regard radio biafra as the most popular media outlet in the SE, and what is it known for? Violence, War, Secession, Bigotry, Hate, Revisionism, Lies etc

I think many people do not realize this but these shopping malls will change the way we do business in the South-east.

It might even compete with small scale FMCG retailers or whole-salers.

Its exciting and scary at the same time.

Really something of an Economics Final Year study research project topic

If these malls follow the growth story of SABmiller in the East, we could have 6 of these malls in the next 10 years rising to 20 malls by 2020

Thats what consumer culture can do for you.

Are our people poised to take the opportunity that it brings? Or is it another group of south Africans coming with their buckets to fetch money from the south east leaving no share for the indigenes and locals

Peter obi for one should as a matter of fact and urgency refund all the billions of IGR he stole in Anambra for 8 years. I wonder the heart someone will have to declare just 500 million as IGR for the entire Anambra State when only Nnewi can pull far more than that comfortably. Anyway, I'm happy Buhari has just relieved him of his short lived appointment

OreMI22:
I don't think we need to force anyone, unless they are willing to pull resources together.
The biggest concern is the type of hotels our business people build in Onitsha. Our business people should learn to build this type of high quality hotels with large pool areas like in your picture.
Some of the hotels we have in Onitsha is shameful . The Onitsha holiday resort for example .
