On what basis? Mind you, I am from Anambra state and resident in Ifite Awka.

Where did you want to start comparing??

Objectivist04:
With this set of governors in south east, Otti Mba and Soludo, south east is going to record a.great leap before 2027 because the three governors are on fire . Just look at Aba looking well developed with high rise buildings and good roads everywhere. Aba a none state capital is more developed than all the south west towns except lagos . The most developed south west none capital town is ogbomosho which looks like a slum.

Going forward south east will be a region of interest because we got it right with good leaders this time especially in Abia, Enugu and Anambra. By the first quarter of next year a lot of projects that will change South East will be commissioned they include

ICC = Enugu
Hotel presidential = Enugu
260 smart green schools = Enugu
260 type 2 hospitals =Enugu
Solution fun city = Anambra
Anambra government house = Anambra
Remodeling of ekwuemes square = Anambra
Ekwulobia flyover = Anambra
Portharcourt road = Abia
62km Umuahia ohafia road = Abia
Ohanku road = Abia
Ekeakpara road = Abia
Remodeling of ariaria mkt =Abia (doubtful)
Note these are projects I believe will be comissioned before the end of match next year. There are numerous other projects ongoing whose completion will exceed march but I didn't include the . If you know any project that might be completed within the stipulated time which I didn't add, you can do well and add it .

I'm not from Anambra state, so I'm not a tribalistic idiot.

You’re always angry with yourself, why are ebonyians like this??

Kid, free yourself from hate

Ebubu9:
You should know as a government agent, I have received expats who are foreign professionals who worked in the airport, and as such my keyboard will occasionally use it and I send anyway as I have a lot of tasks to do. This is not a literary work.

You mean “expatriate”?
Kid, I’m not in that mood now
Bye

We're handling his case and I've reached out to Ebonyi Commissioner for Justice Dr. Ben Uruchi Odoh in Ochudo City.

We're assembling a team of expat lawyers and reaching out to Lagos state Government for State pardon.

Hope your lawyers are sound? And not like you

'How Lagos High Court Sentenced Me To Death For Crime I Know Nothing About' - Ebonyi State Indigene Cries Out For Help

Ogochukwu, who narrated his ordeal in a video, said he was accused of arranging a robbery attack at a place where he was employed as a security guard (gatekeeper) in the Lekki area of Lagos.

Sampson Ogochukwu, an indigene of Ebonyi State in Nigeria's South-East, currently residing in Lagos, has appealed for help after being sentenced to death by hanging by the Lagos State High Court for a crime he claims he knows nothing about.

According to SaharaReporters , Ogochukwu, who narrated his ordeal in a video, said he was accused of arranging a robbery attack at a place where he was employed as a security guard (gatekeeper) in the Lekki area of Lagos.
He said he was arrested in 2017 after his friend he identified as Chuks Viviana Okonkwo from Imo State who made him relocate from Onitsha in Anambra State to Lagos, got the security guard job for him.

Narrating his ordeal, Ogochukwu said,“I was in Onitsha in Anambra State when my friend, Chuks Viviana Okonkwo from Imo State asked me to relocate to Lagos for him to look for a good job for me because I was not doing any reasonable job in Anambra state.

“I came to Lagos in 2017 and he got a job for me at Lekki Phase 1, and I started working there as a security guard.”

However, he said the same friend who got the job for him brought four others to his place of work, tied him with a rope and forced him to take them to his employer, where they robbed his employer and carted away with his employer’s car and other valuables.

He said,“As I was working there, I didn’t know that the boy had another plan till one day, he came to my place of work with four other boys.

“Before I could know what was happening, they overpowered me and tied me with a rope and forced me to take them to the people I was working for.

“I didn’t know what they wanted, so I took them to the people I was working for and they robbed the people I was working for. They stole the people’s car and other things.”

After the robbery, Ogochukwu said the armed robbers forced him into the car trunk and ran away but along the road, they brought him out, gave him N100,000 and asked him to leave Lagos and return to the South-East.

However, he decided to go back to his employer to explain what happened but he got arrested and was accused of being the masterminder of the robbery.

“When they were leaving, they put me inside the car trunk and got to the road, they brought me out and gave me N100,000 and said that if I knew what was good for me, I should run back to the East.

“They ran away and I decided to go back to my place of work to explain to them what happened. When I got there and explained what happened, but they arrested me and called the police.

“I explained to the police but they said I was lying, that all of us arranged for the robbery. I was taken to court and from court I was sent to prison since 2017,”he said in the video.

Ogochukwu further said,“I don’t have anyone. I didn’t even have a lawyer to speak for me in court. But not long after, they tracked and arrested the armed robbers.

“They (armed robbers) told the police that I was not part of them and that I knew nothing about the robbery but the police insisted that I was part of them.

“They (armed robbers) called their people who got lawyers for them and we kept going to court since 2017 and October 31, 2024, the Lagos State High Court, Ikeja discharged the other four persons and sentenced me to death by hanging.

“They said I was the one who brought the armed robbers who came to rob, meanwhile there was nothing like that.”

Pleading for urgent help and intervention by any lawyer to appeal his case, Ogochukwu said,“Please Igbos, help me. I need a lawyer to appeal my case. Please help me. I don’t know anything about this. Please, I’m making this video from inside prison.”

Meanwhile, SaharaReporters called two mobile numbers attached to the video said to be contacts through which Ogochukwu could be reached but they are all not available.

Thank God Lagos state government is also demolishing Anambra people property for abusing right of way of waterways, abusing environmental state government requirements, while FG is demolishing your property and beaches to build coastal road because you people too don't behave well and call another man's land a nobody"s place. While air peace is being harassed in US.

Doing what you can't tolerate from Ebonyi people in another man's land. Thank God they're giving it to you hot hot. THANK GOD FOR GOD. GOD NO DEY SLEEP

Hello kid, take your inferiority complex elsewhere. This is an only page dedicated for showcasing 1, Anambra people
2, Anambra culture/tradition

So many of us visit here to gain insightful knowledge/information about happenings in Anambra state , you will not be warned again

Ebubu9:
You people should stop harassing Abakaliki people in Onitsha and Awka like the Jews were harassed and insulted in Europe during Hitler days.

You should rather advise your abakaliki people to be on their best behavior whenever they come around Anambra state


How many ndi Anambra are in Ebonyi causing nuisance? Rather we are the ones driving your economy and empowering your state, your abakaliki people should at least behave themselves since they don’t contribute to anything meaningful in Anambra state

Ndi Anambra hates archaic/violence people, most of your abakaliki brothers are the ones doing agberos/stealing everywhere in Anambra state and we’re having it again

Behave well and be entertained in Anambra or we kick you guys out for our peace of mind

You guys shouldn’t be using this excuse of poverty and be causing chaos everywhere

We tell them we are tackling Ebonyi's problem ALL ROUND. They say we are only focusing on Infrastructural development, flyovers, airports, roads without Human capital development.

With one fell swoop, people will be employed and public little students will have access to better teachers.

This is as 1,500 have already been employed into the civil service in last 6months.

Over 900 medical practitioners employed into state General hospitals.

General hospitals revitalized

1000 sent for masters and PhD with full funding in Nigeria.

300 extra sent for masters and PhD in the United Kingdom.

Ebonyi State the beautiful Pride of the East.❤

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Congratulations oo🤣

Workch:
Nobody is ganging up against Anambra. Obi, Ngige and Obiano all did well, we can see what they did. Anambra is good, thanks to these guys but Soludo has not been contributing his quota efficiently.
The question which you are running away from is simple "what's Soludo doing?" obviously almost nothing.
Go to Soludo's Twitter page, even the good people of anambra are disappointed in him. Are you more Anambra than everyone?
You want to keep defending a shitty governor because you are too emotional about Anambra and its making you lose your sense of reasoning.
Stop being overly emotional, we all want Anambra to grow, it will be our joy to see that Anambra, a part of Igboland is growing. You are the problem, you want us to defend Soludo irrespective and that's not cool.

We are not going to say that Soludo is doing well just to save face and make you happy dude, Igbo people don't behave like that. We igbos are straightforward and we call a spade what it is irrespective of who gets hurt. No Igbo person defended Ikpeazu, no one is defending Uzodinma so why do you want us to defend a shitty Soludo. Won't it be my Joy to see Onitsha very developed and use it to brag to Yoruba people in Lagos?

Soludo no dey try, because we love Anambra, we want you people to kick him out in the next election.

Who remember this post then?? Those guys have all disappeared

Prof Charles Soludo shut them up with projects

cadmanspize:
Slowudo has abandoned it like that. He has been fencing the one plot keke terminal for like 4 months now, eye-servicing ndi aguata with it.

Forget the fly-over it has been abandoned at pillar level for like 6 months now. The mediocre governor is playing ping-pong with Ndi-Anambra.

You have disappeared ever since prof Charles Soludo projects are all everywhere in Anambra state

What will you use to criticize prof Charles Soludo again??

abuzz33:
I was at Anambra Invest last year. The entrance is directly on old Enugu Rd and it was chaos entering and leaving because it interfered with traffic plying that road which is heavy. Expect the same with Fun City.

Clearly the Anambra state Ministry of Works lacks the capacity to design projects from holistic standpoint. It shows in the flyover design in Awka where they chose left angles and convoluted underpass at amawbia, kwatta and arroma which slows and concentrates traffic. Flyovers are built to improve traffic flow and the design in the underpass should have been a roundabout.

Then rather than selecting somewhere like the vast dry ABS land close to the secretariat for the ICC they selected a swamp far from the town which required heavy and expensive sandfilling and will make the parking lot inherently unstable. Then they put the front gate in front of heavy traffic.

Or is it Onitsha Mall where they put the food court on the far end and the anchor tenant on the other and then locked up the nearest entrance to ShopRite to force people to pass by the food court?

The govt makes numerous mistake because they design projects in house with lack of foresight and competence. Going forward they need to award design of projects externally to a competent company and the construction to another competent company.The result is better for everyone.

Go and look at Agodi gardens in Ibadan for example. Designed by an internationally renowned South African company and built by a competent contractor.

As the bible says my people suffer for the lack of knowledge. There is a reason people spend decades studying and practicing architecture, engineering, soil testing, material science, urban planning things important for building projects. Anambra govt should do things properly.

I’m not sure you were at Anambra invest last year, cox if you’re you should have noticed that there’s another entrance gate from the other side going towards awka wonderland, the ongoing hotel is towards that side too

Then solution fun city has three entrance gate, while the express remains the major entrance

You don’t make claims you’re not sure of, desist from that, this is an educative forum. Thanks

Depriest2020:
It will still end up like the ones constructed by your other governors.

Sh@me on you

Keep hating

Depriest2020:
I have never never seen an ugly flyover as what I just saw here. For how long would south east governors continue to deceive her people with substandard projects?

Before you quote me, Okorocha did rubbish in Imo state flyover. Okezie Ikpeazu did substandard job in Osisoma flyover, Even Awka flyover built by Peter Obi abi Obiano same thing and Soludo is currently doing same.

Flyover is something you build with intent to last over 50yrs.

Check out what Elrufai left behind in Kaduna state 👇

You keep talking n0n-sense
Flyover that is still under construction is what you’re foaming in the mouth, pathetic

By Izunna Okafor, Awka


A metal scrap dealer (popularly known as Iron Condemn), Mr. Chinonso Ezekiel Nwaebonyi has been arrested in Anambra State for defiling his neighbour's seven-year-old child in Awka, the capital city of the state.

Aged 30, the suspect, who hails from Ebonyi State was said to have committed the crime no fewer than five times before her parents eventually found out.

It was gathered that the suspect usually commits this beside the fence at the back of their compound.

Confirming this in a statement issued to newsmen on Thursday, Chidimma Ikeanyionwu, the Spokesperson of the State Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Welfare, said the defiled girl and her twin brother were born to their parents after ten years of childless, adding that the suspect usually commits the crime on Mondays and Tuesdays when they go to the compound to play.

The statement reads in part: “According to the 7-year-old, she, alongside her twin brother, usually goes over to the next compound to play since the holiday started before the suspect started defiling her. She stated that the suspect has had carnal knowledge of her for about 5 times of which was always on Mondays and Tuesdays.

“The mother of the survivor said she got to know one of the days she came back from work to bathe her kids and discovered that her daughter's private region was swollen.

“On enquiry, she was briefed of what had been going on, and she quickly went to the next compound to complain to the guardians of the suspect after which she took her daughter to a pharmacy before coming to the Ministry.

“Meanwhile, the suspect, who had earlier denied the allegation, later confessed to committing the said crime but only once.

“According to the 30-year-old, he never forced the girl but only asked her to raise her clothes and lie down on the ground.

“It is important to note that the 7-year-old survivor and her twin brother were born to her parents after ten years of childlessness.”

Wawa people and disgracing igbos are like 5&6🌚

LOVEALAIGBO:
With the upcoming 5-star hotel, the area in and around the convention centre needs to be spruced up and made spotless! A dual carriageway needs to be constructed to replace the existing one; it should be lined on both sides with trees; grass should be regularly manicured and watered; a bus shuttle service should operate between the hotel and the airport…running at say 1 hour intervals; and something should be done about that warehouse next door as it lowers the tone of the neighbourhood….if the state gov’t can’t buy it or provide alternative land for the owner, they should plant tall trees that would grow to block out the view….you don’t want to be looking out of your hotel window as you sip your morning coffee to see that!

Stop that please, what you called “warehouse “ is a big industry with staff quarters

Both the industry and the hotel will be a game changer for ndi Anambra

You’re advising governor to demolish a massive industry because of a 5star hotel??

Other of your suggestions are valid👍

Some upcoming hotels in awka

Historically these islands were major meeting places for people from all over. At one point the main language there was hausa due to how many northerners would come there for trade.

It was also a major market for hausa and fulani slaves

At which point was Hausa the main language

Hmmm, nawa for you guys

Even today, a lot of Church Parishes in Anambra south are in Orlu Dioceses.

Stop repeating this lies everything, there’s no church in Anambra south that’s under orlu diocese

What’s this inferiority complex all about?? Can’t you guys do without Anambra towns??

No one is against your orlu state, we’re only saying that there’s no inch of Anambra town that will make up the so called orlu state

The politics of having Anioma state have been going on for a long time now and Anioma will definitely be the completed six state in southeast region

Develop orlu zone and stop the insecurity there, most towns you’re dragging in Anambra develop their towns and keep doing it till now

abuzz33:
Widening amawbia to ekwulobia is good initiative. Anambra is not a mega city but highly urbanized and requires good transpiration connectivity.

I hope the current govt also establishes a joint rail initiative with Abia , Imo and Enugu to construct a rail line from Enugu - Awka - Onitsha - Owerri - Aba - Port Harcourt.

Anambra state might not be a “mega city” yet but it’s attending the status of a mega city gradually.
It’s only Anambra state that has multiple cities in Ala Igbo, others have their capitals and maybe one city

We don’t need a joint railway that connects other Igbo cities yet, for now a railway that will connects onitsha to awka to Nnewi and probably Ekwulobia will do for now, maybe in the long run we will now include other cities outside Anambra, let’s walk first before flying

Btw, prof Charles Soludo is doing marvelously well in Anambra state infrastructural wise, dunno when he will flag off his ten storey 5star hotel and the railway connecting onitsha to awka, those two will forever be his legacy projects.

IFEANYI UBAH AND UCHE EKWUNIFE REMINDS ME OF BEREMX AND ABAGWORO THAT YEAR.


CHINO KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT AND THAT IS THE REASON HE NEVER QUIT ATTACKING ABAGWORO ON THIS SITE.



WE WERE ALL PUSHING AGAINST APC AND BUHARI, THIS TWO WERE TELL US HOW GREAT BUHARI IS AND HOW OBAMA HAS CONCLUDED FOR BUHARI TO HAND OVER TO ROCHAS.


WE WARNED AND WARNED OF THE DISASTER AND HOW IMO SSHOULD REMAIN AN APGA STATE. THEY JOINED THE AFONJAA TO MOCK US.


WHAT HAPPENED AT THE END, IN ALL IGBOLAND, THEIR COMMUNITY AND KINDRED WAS TURNED INTO A WAR ZONE. THEIR YOUTHS MASCARED, BURNT ALIFE, TORTURE, SHOT TO DEATH AND BOMBED. THEIR WOMEN RAPED AND SHIPPED TO NORTHERN PRISON.



THIS IS THE END OUTCOME FOR COMPROMISING ON PRINCIPLE.



IF YOU WANT MORE EXAMPLE AMAECHI, HE BUILT RAILYWAY ELSEWHERE BUT SS AND SE HAS NONE.


IF YOU WNAT MORE EXAMPLE WATCH WIKE CLOSELY, HIS END IS ALREADY SHAMEFUL.


I HAVE NEVER REGRETED STANDING ON PRINCIPLE AND ALL I HAVE SUPPORTED ON THIS PLATFORM.



WE MUST UNITE TO FIGHT IFEANYI AND EKWUNIFE FROM NOW UNTIL THE CONCLUSION OF THAT ELECTION.


INSTEAD OF IFEANYI UBAH TO BE GOVERNOR OF ANAMBRA, I RATHER WE GO AND GET DR MADUKA AFTER SOLUDO.



ANAMBRA STATE GOVERNANCE IS CRITICAL AND ONLY LIFELINE WE HAVE SINCE IGBO IS DENIED PRESIDENT.


BIKO NU!

I may disagree with you on your ipob stance but truly you’re making sense here

Anambra stakeholders including those in APC don’t even want Apc to take over Anambra state not to talk of a chronic debtor like ifeanyi uba ruling us, it’s mission impossible.

As usual, the dude is just wasting his time and money, most of his supporters are imolites and ndi Enugu, my joy is that most Anambra indigenes distance themselves from him including his Nnewi people

After next governorship election, dude will retire from politics because I don’t think that he will win his senatorial seat again

After prof Charles Soludo eight years, then it’s the turn of Anambra central of which I think it’s between Mark Okoye or Oby Ezekwesili, it then goes to Anambra north which everyone knows it will be Osita Chidioka, then back to south which I believe then will go to Val Ozigbo

Ifeanyi Ubah will not see anything

Ofodirinwa:
Ok, call your Chinese friend that is telling you these secrets, and tell him to send you some vehicles you can put a badge of your own on

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You’re very wicked bro🤣

He should call them too and package his own, that’s a good advise

Senator Ubah Rises as Preferred Choice Amidst Ndi Anambra's Disappointment with Soludo's Leadership

As the 2025 gubernatorial election in Anambra State approaches, Governor Charles Soludo's administration faces mounting criticism for its numerous failures, leading to widespread dissatisfaction among Ndi Anambra. Soludo's selective focus on road projects, widely perceived as politically motivated, has resulted in uneven infrastructure development, neglecting many areas outside his political stronghold. Furthermore, his administration's inability to effectively combat rising insecurity has raised serious concerns about the utilization of federal security funds, causing fear among residents and negatively impacting public events.

In stark contrast, Senator Dr Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah has emerged as a strong alternative, actively engaging with Ndi Anambra through pragmatic and community-centred initiatives. Ubah's popularity has surged due to his hands-on approach to addressing pressing issues, including significant improvements in infrastructure, healthcare, and education. He has facilitated the construction and rehabilitation of key roads, sponsored medical outreach programs, established healthcare centres, provided scholarships, and supported school infrastructure projects. This active involvement and commitment to the real needs of the people highlight a stark difference to Soludo's perceived detachment and unfulfilled promises.

As the election nears, Ubah's ambition and vision represent a call for responsive and decisive leadership. His promise of a revitalized Anambra, characterized by inclusive development and strong governance, sharply contrasts with Soludo's lacklustre record. Ubah's focus on community engagement and practical solutions positions him as a beacon of hope for a better future for all Anambra residents. His multifaceted approach not only addresses the immediate needs of his constituency but also contributes to national economic policies, restoring public trust and offering a vision of robust governance and inclusive progress. Ubah's leadership symbolizes a new era for Anambra, one that prioritizes the well-being and development of all its citizens.

Ndi Anambra, we have a better alternative in Senator Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah, CON.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ifeanyi uba is chasing a wide dream which can never be possible

2025, dude will retire from politics because he will even loose his senatorial district
