I don't like doing this but Enugu is actually underwhelming. It is still sleepy. Owerri is actually more vibrant and faster developing with wide roads.

Owerri is a flat boring town. The only thing that remind me about Owerri is Ofe Owerri. It's road network is nothing to write home about

Enugu' s beauty is mainly due to its landscape. There is no such a beautiful landscape in whole southern Nigeria. It's like a city between Zurich and Geneva

Tinubu's interview is gonna be like listening to an angry bird sing songs

Ugo na abo, Ugo na abo! Ka m mee elee...

Bankrupt, not broke. Let's thank Buhari for a good job.

Bankruptcy is a legal process in a court. Nigeria is yet to file for bankruptcy.

Folks, it's official: Nigeria is BROKE!

Historically, people of Plateau State have most often aligned with South East in politics. In 1979, Solomon Lar was elected governor of Plateau State under Nnamdi Azikiwe's NPP( Nigeria Peoples Party). It's likely that Obi will get majority votes from Plateau State just like Zik in 1979 and 1983.

In 2023, it's gonna be about the economy and security for most Nigerians. The APC has nothing to offer Nigerians in these two areas. It's the economy, stupid!!

Honestly, you seem to be very selfish and turn a blind eye to see the truth. A clear example was given to u that as far back as 1999 all Presidential candidates of 2 major political parties were Christians.
Muslim Northerners as far back as the first tenure of OBJ were butchered, massacred and subjected to all forms of carnage by OPC, many frequent attacks in Nsukka and Onitsha, in Yelwa-Bauchi state, Jos-plateu and Southern Kaduna. You were either kid then or didn't have access to media. Nigeria had never seen ethno-religious crisis like in the first tenure of OBJ.
Concerning, the current killings, is it not grave injustice to compare the thounsad of Muslims killed and displaced by bandits in Kaduna, Niger, Kebbi, Zamfara, Katsina and Nasarawa state with the fraction of the Christians killed?
You make it look religious by putting so much uproar because the killers are Muslims but the damage done on Muslims is uncomparable to that on Christians.

It is very annoying seeing a Christian complaining about the fundamental human right of Muslims and their religious injunction to wear Hijab. No Christian is ever being forced to wear Hijab but the noise clearly has a sinister motive. Do u know how important Hijab is to Muslims? I don't know what u want to achieve with his nonsense. The uniform is brought to us by Western Christians invaders but we never complain, just ordinary hijab we ask to use as part of our religious injunction you are here making all sort of noise. I don't know what Nigerian Christians would say if it were Arabs that colonised and handover the animalistic system we are practicing in the name of systems of Govt?
Go and walk naked as u inherited from your masters nobody will stop you but our cultural value will be preserved well!

Please, for historical perspective before 1999, northern Muslims had been in power for over 2 decades ( Shagari, Buhari, Babangida, Abacha and Abubakar). Obasanjo and Falae were allowed by northern politicians to form the then next government after Abiola's ordeal in the hands of northern Muslim soldiers. It was the best and only option the north had then, otherwise Nigeria would have headed for disintegration.

One section of Nigeria's 2 big religions can not hijack power for decades and take the other as the big fool. If this country must harness its potentials for the benefit of all, there must be political and social justice.

For every Nigerian, are you better off now than in 2014 downward??

With abundance of coal in Enugu, and now a possibility of some billions of cubic feet of natural gas reserve, 042 is literally a power house.

I remember this particular OP making noise as usual about 2 years ago. His post then was about Ugwuanyi's contract award for asphalting of Alor street. Alor street links Thinkers Corner with Abakpa Nike. You know what governor Ugwuanyi did? He gave contract for asphalt laying of 150 metres of the street. That road has already collapsed since last year, with dozens of potholes all over the 150m stretch. I hope Enugu will never have such a governor again.

The New market expressway he did some years ago is in a terrible state now. What is he actually going to be beautifying on that road? The fatty of a governor is a big disappointment.

Look at his senatorial zone. 9th Mile - Ukana - Ukehe - Opi old Road is one of the most important roads in Enugu state, yet this governor has been able to asphalt only about 5km of the 37km road! A journey from 9th Mile to Opi on that road takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Tinubu is now talking about electricity in Nigeria.
He should tell Nigerians his role in the infamous Enron scandal. Lagos state lost millions of dollars to the defunct Chicago based electricity company. In the end, Lagos under Tinubu government was much more in darkness.

What a beautiful village! Looks like somewhere in Allgäu - between Isny and Leutkirch in Germany. A hilltop Village like this one offers one cool breeze most of the time, and noiseless Moments.

Where are the rural roads some people claim was constructed by the fat toad governor?

4 corners - Agbani - Amagunze road is a federal project. Ugwuoba - 9th Mile road is another federal government project (ongoing construction).

Old 9th Mile - Opi road is a total mess, and the governor stopped work at Abor town.

I ask again, where are the rural roads constructed by the current Enugu state governor??

The walls of the waterfall remind me about remnants of century old walls in Mainz Germany, during the Roman empire expansion into the middle of Europe. Those waterfall walls are breathtaking - an incredible nature's art of beauty!!

There are many natural treasures in Igboland.
If this particular waterfall is the Caribbeans, the local community will be earning millions in revenue from tourists.

Who cares about such music?
Give me Kofi Olomide, Sunny Ade and George Benson

Scarcity of water in Enugu is due to failure of leadership. There is abundance of high quality water just about 10km away at 9th mile and it's surroundings. Ama Brewery which is perhaps the most modern brewery in Nigeria was built by Nigeria Breweries due to the rich water quality found at 9th Mile.


What Enugu state government should do is to get dozens of deep boreholes drilled and send the water through dedicated pipeline to Enugu city.

A few years ago in Hamburg Germany, i was part of a team that drilled 300m deep new boreholes for Hamburg Wasser ( the city's water provider). The new boreholes were kept for future connection to the pipeline that supplies the city water. The company anticipated a rise in water consumption in city of Hamburg and awarded contract for boreholes that would be put to use later in the future. This is even a city that gets its water originally from Elbe river.

Enugu state government should think out of the box and find a solution to this embarrassing water situation in the city. I am sure money spent on the 3 pedestrian bridges the state government built last year would have gotten the city more useful boreholes, than bridges nobody is making use of.
The state government should be very very ashamed.

It's the economy, stupid!!

There was never a time awka to Enugu was less than I hour. Awka to Enugu is approximately 2 hrs if not more.

Anambra to Imo is over 2 hrs and not even to the airport that is another one hour journey.

Meanwhile look at the way you are partitioning the state and allotting to other states...what nonsense. In essence Ndi anambra must enter their state through another state....Anya adiro ghu mma.

Let Enugu people land in Enugu airport
Let Imo people land in Owerri airport and let anambra people land in anambra airport. Stop splitting the state to others.

The airport is unnecessary but the one is Enugu and Imo is necessary. All these foreign invaders sef.

Aboki na asu Igbo, gini ka ina acho ebea? Aboki abata Awka!

This is quite impressive.
In my opinion, the true traffic of passengers through the airport will be determined after this traveling season between mid December to mid January.

That not withstanding, all the other airports in the region will continue to have their share of passengers. After all, the airports in Cologne- Bonn and Dusseldorf in Germany, though in the same federal state, still operate independently.

There could be another airport in Enyimba city in the future. For goodness sake, ndi Igbo are over 50 million people and counting. Egbe belu, Ugo belu. Ije awele Ka anyi na ayo Olisa!!

RIP, Obi nwa Akpugo, Nkanu.

Beautiful!! It reminds me about that stretch on the Autobahn between Lausanne and Geneva, in Switzerland.

If it's in Europe, Enugu to Okigwe would have a skyrail taking tourists along the hilltop to explore those beautiful terrains. That could bring in millions of dollars to the communities and investors in the area annually.

Not again! The one that happened to Ebeano is still fresh in people's minds. Hopefully, the store has a full insurance coverage.
