Anambra is the only state in the east with brain.

Anambralstson:
O. Thursday, April 30, His Excellency, Chief Dr. Willie M. Obiano who inspected the ongoing 100-Foot Road Nnewi Erosion Control Project.

100-Foot Road Nnewi was one of the major entrance to Nkwo Nnewi, a market that have an estimated annual turnover of $1billion, before it was seriously affected by erosion which swallowed the road, residential and commercial buildings. While it may be a surprise to many, the erosion started way-back in the 1970s and only got worsened last year.

The visit of His Excellency, which was primarily to ascertain the pace of work, afforded me the opportunity to express my appreciation to the Governor for acting promptly by engaging the services of an International Reputable Construction Company, Infrastructure Development Company (IDC), for the reclamation of 100-Foot Road Nnewi Erosion Site.
It will be recalled that one of the first motion I moved after I was sworn in as the Lawmaker representing Nnewi North in Anambra State House of Assembly, was the motion in which I raised alarm on the erosion which has cut-off 100-Foot Road and is posing a serious threat to Nkwo Nnewi Market.

With the involvement of other stakeholders, we reached out to His Excellency, in our different capacities calling for his timely intervention to save our town from the devastating effect of the erosion. The Governor being proactive, despite the pressure on the state budget, awarded the contract for the control and reclamation of the erosion.

The ongoing construction works on the Storm Water Diversion Deep Channel on the Fifty (50) Feet Deep 100-Foot Road Gully Erosion, Uruagu Nnewi, will bring lasting solutions to the problems of erosion menace in the area.

The project which will cost N4bn has succeeded in almost reclaiming the gully through the importation of laterite and compaction with careful channelization of the stormwater in a number of drains.

While we commend our Governor for this great effort, it is time for us to open discussion on the need for community participation in the management and protection of the environment from erosion.

Erosion does not just develop overnight, there are processes leading to them and this can be averted at the community level.

Although some gullies are caused by natural cracks in the earth and nature of our soil, most gully erosions in Anambra State are unnatural and can be averted. Most of the causes of erosions are traceable to bad management practices such as roads without proper drainage or catchments pits, blocking drainage channels with refuse, deforestation, unsustainable farming and mining of sand.

It is time for us to create institutions and implement policies that will guarantee a sustainable environment.

if you can not tell us the state gerara here!!

Number 6 got my attention and I careless about the rest.

martinmiller:
Character they say is the beauty of a woman and money is the beauty of a man that's why every man desires success and a luxurious lifestyle.

Moreover, few are willing to go through the right part of success in order to achieve it. There are certain things men do in their daily life activities that hinders their opportunity to success. They may see it as a way out of poverty, but woefully, it's the gateway to the throne of poverty.

There are many habits that can keep a man in the circle of poverty. Check them out below.

1. Gambling.

There is no such thing as getting rich quick. Financial success takes time, takes initiative, and requires relentless effort to achieve.

People who engage in gambling are deluded into thinking there is a shortcut to success. A lot of self-made millionaires today didn’t pursue any get-rich quick schemes. Instead, they make a habit of pursuing their dreams and their goals one after the other.

A lot of Nigerian youths believe so much in gambling that they made it a job. They have the believe that a single one hundred naira note can fetch them fifteen million naira. How long do intend on spending before you achieve that goal. Every known successful man today never earned their wealth from gambling.

2. Drinking Too Much Alcohol.

While the occasional glass of wine or beer is fine, drinking too much could reduce your chances to financial success. Do you know drinking too much could affect your memory and ability to think clearly ?. If you can't think and remember things clearly, how do you intend to make a plan for your financial freedom ?.

I'm not saying alcohol is evil but there is a limit to everything in life including the same alcohol. Some men believe it's never okay till they feel drunk. Only a poor man with a poor mentality thinks like that. 1-2 bottles of beer or even 2 glasses of wine is very much okay for a man with a goal in life. It doesn't mean you have to start drinking two glasses everyday. There are times when things are required in life. Say no to excessive intake of alcohol for your financial freedom.

3. Your Type Of Friends.

A wise man once said, Show me your friends and I will tell you who you are. Those words are absolutely true. Who you hang out with matters more than you may think.

Many rich people today changed their friends the day they decided to make wealth. Make a habit of associating with other success-minded individuals like you.

If you sorround yourself with drunkards and smokers, even if you don't drink or smoke, definitely one day you will see yourself doing it.

You are only going to succeed in life if you surround yourself with the right type of people.

4. Spending Too Much Time Infront Of The TV.

In a success study, it is revealed that 80% of poor people today spend more than five hours Infront of their television screen daily. Complete precious five hours.

Have you ever wondered why the most expensive cars and properties are not putting their advertisements on TV ?. The answer is simple, the people who buy and patronise it doesn't spend time on television so probably they can't see it.

The rich or success-minded people would rather be educated than entertained. They replace TV time with reading, thinking, exercising, or any other form of self education.

I'm not saying watching TV is something not important, but spending too much time on it. Spend more time in planning your map to success instead of watching people who followed their path to success.

5. Thinking Negatively.

Long-term success is only possible when you have a positive mental outlook to it. You can never be successful if you always imagine yourself poor. If you don't believe in yourself, why trying ?. You always have the thoughts of I cannot make it, that's one of the reasons you have not made it to success.

The problem for most people is that they’re completely unaware of their thoughts, positive or negative. If you stop to listen to your thoughts, to be aware of them, you would find most of them are negative. But you only realize you are having these negative thoughts when you force yourself to be aware of them. Awareness is the key.

Take your mind of negative thoughts. Replace them with positiveness. They say a believer is an achiever. Believe in yourself.

6. Doing A Job You Don't Love.

Toiling away at a job you hate will not only leave you stressed out and dissatisfied with life, it could affect your chances at getting rich because you don't appreciate the outcome.

The wealthiest, most successful people pursue their passions, you should consider doing the same thing in your working days in life. Do what you have passion for, work is fun. Passion defeats education, intelligence, skills, and any other advantage those who lack passion might have in life.

Passion makes work fun. Passion gives you the energy, persistence, and focus needed to overcome failures, mistakes, and rejection. It infuses you with a fanatical tenacity that makes it possible to overcome obstacles and pitfalls that block your path.

7. Spending too much.

Spending more than you make is the fastest and surest road to financial breakdown.

You can't be earning a salary of 50 thousand naira and be driving a car that requires maintenance of 15 thousand naira monthly, it leaves you with 35 thousand naira salary. You have groceries and rent to pay the same month with other little things to do with money. What happened to saving ?, What you save and plan for is very important even before the salary comes.

People who spend too much faces a lot of challenges, they have no money for retirement, for their kids’ college, or for pursuing opportunities that present themselves. Spending more than you earn and putting saving on your back creates long-term poverty, with no hope of escape.

8. Ignoring customers feedback.

At the end of the day, you might already have a business established, ignoring customers feedback on your products and services pulls your business down faster than the change in currency.

Fear of criticism is the reason we do not seek feedback from others. You have more chances of improvement if you listen to your customers feedback.

Feedback is essential to learning what is working and what isn’t working. Feedback helps you understand if you are on the right track. Seeking criticism, good or bad, is a crucial element for learning and growth.

Feedback provides you with the information you will need in order to succeed in future and make improvements.

That will be all for now. I hope this helped and educated you on some of the things you need to stop doing in life if you want to achieve success.

See you at the top !

Ignorance is a disease, just to check google is now waec.

Pathetic

One of the richest state in Africa looking like filthy garbage.

Our leaders will never known peace..

I know you are trying to show one of the best part in warri which makes it all more embarrassing.

Some of you are just heartless.

SWORD419:
Nonsense, shoot them on sight

God bless your papa im no waste im money for school like that Kenyan man wey spend 21k dollar for that useless pikin.

Tripitaka:
Have you dated a girl who is a product of incest?
Have you dated a girl whose brother raped the mother for ritual purposes?
Have you dated a girl who grew up to find out that her actual dad is the family driver, but the pregnancy was passed on to the "willing dad"?
Have you dated a girl whose own father has been sexually abusing?
Have you dated a girl whose mother's nude pictures are all over the internet because she was caught shoplifting?

I believe your answer would be "No", as you would have included these in your narrative.

The families in your narrative can hardly be classed as "troubled" as I would like to think that your experiences are the peculiarities of your average Nigerian family. The average Nigerian family where diabolism and fetishism is real; where cohabitation is in vogue because the government outlaws abortion and your parents would insist on you living with the man who impregnated you even if he has no interest in marrying you; where young widows are still oppressed by their late husband's relatives; where poverty and unemployment is the norm hence a 40yr old unemployed man is nothing out of the ordinary.

The women you have been with are not from troubled families, at least in my opinion. They are simply from Nigerian families.

You attract who you are. .you too no good.

creolehunt:
I just thought about the girls I've been with and noticed a certain trend. This isn't even about the girls themselves who are excellent human beings, but their families.

First girl I dated revealed to me that the dad died of suspected poisoning and her family were chased out of the family house. Her eldest brother is an area boy while it seems things aren't working out for her other siblings.

The next ones dad was late too, one of her sisters is separated from her husband while the first son of nearly 40 has nothing doing.

The other ones history is that her dad is late too. The eldest sister is cohabiting with a man. They have 2 kids already without being married. Her other sisters bride price was just paid after having 3 kids with a man.

For the other one, her dad is late too, died quite early. The eldest sister is in her 30s and unmarried. Her other sister has 3kids for a man who she isn't married to and now they are separated. Things aren't just working for her people.

The one I just met recently told me her parents are late. Lost both of them to suspected poisoning within the space of one year.

I keep wondering if this is some sort of coincidence.

What are you forming like? The guy is just documenting his journey through life and having great time, what do you have? Poor boy!

Confirmedzombie:

Hello Nairalanders

Second picture is use to be busy area one shopping complex

Third picture is area 2 complex Abuja

Fourth picture is area 3 bank junction Abuja

Everywhere empty, with security personnel parading the street, I couldn't snap them, don't ask me why

Smh. .you are a fool.

Elove1:
I have realized that people are just anti Christians for no good reason, I spit on them.

They complained that pastors don't give out to societies, they prove them wrong by giving out massively to the less privilege.
They complain again that pastors should heal corona virus victim. Lo and behold apostle is already planing to do that, yet this dumb fools in this forum are still finding faults in that..

Lesson in life: Do whatever pleases you, you can't please everyone.

This is not about buhari! This is nature against mankind.

DesignHave:

This pandemic is sure going to cost more people their jobs.

The main issue is that there's no way to help them out during this period. No way.
Every Nigerian is on their own and it's really sad.

I'm just glad this is opening the eyes of Nigerians to how our voting decisions and indecisions have a long term effect.
Just Sad

No respect for the dead. .smh

So your life depends on online dating, this generation ehh

Babatunde40:
Nice list. Drake is from Canada. Canadians are already doing hit songs in the US. I look forward to seeing a Nigerian coming from Canada and doing hits in the US. It might be me sha, when i get to Canada. Online dating can help me get Canada link.

I am making progress already with my online dating. I got inspired to start online dating after a Canadian magazine reported that online dating has gone up due to lockdowns and it is the top way people in Canada meet now. People are indoors. To keep themselves busy, they are switching to online dating.

One of the sites mentioned is Bit Mistress (Mostly for Canadian members. See Image below)

I registered. I have being meeting new people. My goal this month is to get 1 serious lover from Canada. Someone to help me escape from 9ja when all this corona stuff is over.

Any small issue suicide,weak generation Smh

3. We’re all together with them in lockdown

After Corona, you will still go and see Pastor to heal your headache.

How can we keep our naive brothers and sisters away from con men?

Stop acting as if you don't know they treat Nigerians and other Africans worst In other countries.
