On behalf of imolites, we sincerely apologise to our dear brothers from Anambra. IMO case is so unfortunate, Rochas is a fraudster from North. We can't believe obiano is having an argument with a thief like Rochas. Who have reduced imo state to the poorest state in Nigeria. IMO people are dying. We need obiano on loan after his tenure, to help rescue imo state

greatiyk4u:
the simple truth is that Willie is working more online than in reality


most of the projects many people attribute to him were actually done by Obi and Ngige



it is the transfer of hatred and aggression for Rochas romance with Buhari and APC that is causing all these media hatred on him

the masses on ground know and appreciate what Rochas has been/is doing for them




the so called Anambra Rice the hyped Willie with as an achievement is no where to be found in Anambra markets talk more of crossing neighbouring state yet many online warriors have been celebrating him online for it

Okorocha, Gov Obiano is spending three years in office yours is six years stop deceiving yourself

Let start from gov Obiano's two years achievements

Exactly two years ago today, I assumed office as your governor on a cloud of hope. Umu nnem, two years down the road, I am proud to announce to you that we have laid a very good foundation for a better Anambra State. After two years of applying myself to the service of Anambra State, I am happy to look back at what we have achieved and thank you all for your support and prayers.
Ndi Anambra, before I tell you exactly what we have done, it is important to remember that in the past two years, our country Nigeria has passed through one of the worst periods since independence. Oil prices have crashed to the lowest possible point and the Naira fell with it. Most of the allocations from the Federation Account have dried up and left huge gaps in the revenues of states. The consequences are severe and unpleasant. But the good news is that our story is different in Anambra State. We foresaw the impending storm and made adequate preparations for the rainy day. The fact is that when I took over the leadership of Anambra State, my first impulse as a financial expert was to organise a Strategic Retreat for my Executive Council Members to prepare my team for the task at hand. It was at the Retreat that we brain-stormed on the economy and detected the impending fall in oil prices. We have also had more retreats and a Summit on IGR. All these prepared us for the tough times at hand. The result is that while other states are grappling with this new reality, we are not only increasing salaries but we are busy building bridges.
Now, the basic question to ask is ‘how did we do it?’ The answer is simple. We began by defining our Vision and Mission in Anambra State. I stated that my Vision was to make Anambra State the 1st Choice Investment Destination and a hub for industrialization and commercial activities. I also declared that my Mission was to make Anambra State a socially stable, business-friendly environment that would attract both indigenes and foreigners to seek wealth-creating opportunities. To guarantee the realisation of these two Statements, we crafted a Blueprint known as the Four Pillars of Development which revolves around Agriculture, Industrialization, Trade and Commerce and Oil & Gas. The Vision and Mission Statements come together in a perfect synergy with the Four Pillars of Development to make up my dream for Anambra State.
However, from the very beginning, it was clear to me as daylight, that the major obstacle that stood in the way of my dreams for Anambra State was the challenge of Security. The undeniable fact before us was that since the end of the Biafran War, Anambra State had been the theatre of crime and criminality in the South East of Nigeria. I figured out that there could be no meaningful progress in this state without a successful attack against crime. I knew that no investor would go to a crime-ridden environment. So, we launched an all-out war against kidnappers, armed robbers, drug-dealers and child-traffickers. We smashed crime syndicates and pulled down the warehouses used for keeping kidnap victims. We donated smart cars to the police, a gunboat to the Navy and last Christmas, we launched police helicopters to watch over our skies. And so, for the first time since the creation of this great state, we made sure that Anambra was effectively covered on the land, in the waters and in the sky! With that effort, we achieved 360 degrees security coverage of the state! Not only that, we also solved the 46-year old puzzle of crime in Anambra State! With that effort too, it is no longer in doubt that Anambra is the safest state in Nigeria. And for the second time since the creation of Anambra State, we celebrated Christmas last year without a single incident of crime! Ndi Anambra, that is how far we have come on the journey to a safer Anambra State.

Opening Anambra up to the World
The immediate benefit of ridding Anambra State of crime is that we have also opened our dear state up to the world. We have made our state attractive to our great sons and daughters and to wise investors. However, to harness the opportunities created by our emergence as Nigeria’s safest state, we established the Anambra State Investment Promotion and Protection Agency (ANSIPPA). This Agency has the mandate of attracting investments and fast-tracking the process of investing in Anambra State. To date, ANSIPPA has attracted investments valued at $3.2billion to Anambra State. All the investments we have attracted so far cut across Agriculture, Trade & Commerce, manufacturing, hospitality, housing, electricity generation, waste management, health and oil and gas. More investments are coming.
The Employment Values we have created so far.
Ndi be’anyi, when I asked for your votes in 2013, I promised you that I would give you jobs, jobs, jobs! Today, I am proud to declare that with the quality of investments we have attracted so far, the unemployment problem we have in the state will be drastically reduced in no distant time. Here is our projection for the jobs that will be created from the investments we have attracted –
Agriculture – 27,000 direct jobs and 100,000 indirect jobs
Industry, Trade & Commerce – 12,000 direct jobs and 45,000 indirect jobs

Real Estate & Hospitality – 11,000 direct jobs and 39,500 indirect jobs
Power & Transportation – 2,000 direct jobs and 8,200 indirect jobs
Health – 500 direct jobs and 1,900 indirect jobs
Total number of jobs expected – 52,500 direct jobs and 200,000 indirect jobs
We have also effectively trained 500 youths in diverse skills and crafts at the Technology Incubation Centre in Nnewi while 500 other youths have been trained at the Agricultural Training Institute in Mgbakwu. We have great plans for our youths and the unemployed in Anambra State!

Update on my Economic Blueprint
Umu nnem, you may recall that in my Inaugural Address, I had declared that “the time has come to prove to ourselves that the enterprising spirit for which our people are known all over the world can take firm roots at home; that together as one, we can be masters of our own house!” I had also assured, that “under my administration, we have no choice than to decide whether we are truly the sons and daughters of our fathers and true heirs to their long history of pioneering excellence!” Brothers and sisters, our achievements in the last two years have confirmed that truly, we are the children of our fathers. Obu nna anyi mulu anyi! A look at what we did with the Four Pillars of Development confirms this. And here is what we did. First…

Agriculture
Agriculture is the leading pillar of my Economic Blueprint. That was why, two months after my inauguration; we launched our Agricultural Revolution in Nteje, Oyi Local Government Headquarters. Our Objective is to be in the Top-Three agricultural states in Nigeria. Ndi Anambra, two years after, we have almost realised this objective. Anambra has become an exporter of farm produce to Europe. Songhai Farms has reached an agreement with SABMiller for the supply of Sorghum, produced in Igbariam for brewing beverages. This will create more jobs. This is the kind of synergy we want to create in Anambra State. We have also flooded the market with a wholly indigenous brand of rice known as Anambra Rice which is competing favourably with other brands in the market. The question here again is how did we do it? We simply made Agriculture a priority and set up a Special Committee on Agriculture with prominent agronomists and charged it to produce a blueprint for revolutionizing agriculture. This committee carried out a comprehensive survey of our soil to determine where each food crop would grow better. We also set up a Committee for Land Acquisition and Mediation. The Committee ensures that all matters pertaining to the availability of land to investors are handled to the satisfaction of all parties. In specific terms, we have so far attracted $150m from Coscharis Farms Project in Anaku, $50m from NOVTEC Farms Ltd in Ndikelionwu, $160m from Joseph Agro Ltd rice project in Omor, $220m from Ekcel Farms tomato production farm in Omasi and $50m from the Songhai/Delfarms integrated organic farm project in Igbariam. There are also Grains & Silos with $40m investment in storage facilities, Lynden Farms with the $61m poultry farm in Igbariam and Tricity Integrated Farms with $11.4m ultra-modern abattoir in Awka. Indeed, the fire of agricultural revolution is raging in Anambra State. A visit to Igbariam or Anaku will validate this. Next is…

Industrialization
Our objective in Industrialization is to become one of the top 3 industrialized states in Nigeria. We are pursuing this in four key areas –
Creation of Modern Industrial Parks and Small-to-medium Enterprise Clusters, Improved Investments and better Access to Financing and finally, Strategic Capacity Building. We have so far attracted over $140 million investment to the manufacturing sector. But beyond that, we have also set precedence in the area of building critical alliances with foreign trade delegations. At the last count, we had hosted Trade Missions from Thailand, Ireland and the UK and quite recently, a delegation from the British Commonwealth Office in London visited me in Amawbia to explore possibilities of stronger bilateral relations. The Consular General of the United States of America also arrived with his own team a fortnight ago. We have also held fruitful bilateral talks with South Africa, China, Germany, South Korea and the European Union. Sincerely, the future is very bright for Anambra State! Next among the Four Pillars is…

Trade & Commerce
Our objective in Trade and Commerce is to move Anambra to the Top-3 states in Trade and Commerce in Nigeria. To achieve this, we are rehabilitating our existing markets and building ultramodern shopping malls across the state. We have also flagged off the construction of a $350 million wholesale shopping complex in Ogbunike in Oyi LGA. This commercial and lifestyle complex will be the first of its kind in Africa. Onitsha Shopping Mall a legacy project of my predecessor that we have completed will open for business in April this year. We have also increased the pace of work on the two other malls in Awka and Nnewi. Other achievements include the 1st Phase of the 20,000-unit International Market at Oba in Idemili South Local Government Area valued at $75 million dollars and the installation of Close-Circuit TV Cameras (CCTV) in Onitsha Main Market. Next is …

Oil & Gas
Anambra State is blessed with over one billion barrels of oil and 30 trillion cubic feet of gas. Our objective is to have a fully developed Oil & Gas sector by 2018. We intend to achieve this through 3 broad areas of intervention – policy formulation & infrastructure development, private sector participation and community re-orientation. In the area of Policy Formulation, we have ensured that we do not make the same mistakes of our neighbours by crafting far-sighted policies and statutes to drive the development of this sector. We have set up the Oil and Gas Advisory Committee headed by the renowned Dr. Emmanuel Egboga, the former Special Adviser to the President on Petroleum Matters to ensure the recognition of Anambra as the 10th Oil Producing State in Nigeria.
Other achievements are the construction Anambra’s longest bridge, measuring 280 meters long, across the Omambala River as part of the 42KM road that opens access to the oil fields in Aguleri. We are also building two other bridges to the oil fields through Umueje in Ayamelum and Umudiora in Anambra West Local Government Areas. Still on Oil & Gas, we are partnering with UD Integrated Petroleum Production Development Company, UDIPPCO, and Falcon Corporation Limited to invest in the development of our gas-to-power initiative in the State. We also have a PPP arrangement with STANEL Petroleum for the construction of tank farms for the storage of petroleum products in the State. These investments will jumpstart the Industrialization of our dear state, drive Agriculture and Trade & Commerce which are the key economic pillars of my Administration.
Ndi Anambra, this is what we have done so far with The Four Pillars of Development.
Now, let’s look at some Key Enablers.
The Enablers are the basic foundation upon which the Four Pillars of Development stand. There are 12 of them but I will limit my Report to only 8 because of time.

TheABOMINATION:
Buhari did not say that women belong to the kitchen, he said my wife belong to the kitchen.

bolaotulana:
How serious is this protest

wellmax:
I stand with 2Baba, but if given the choice between GEJ and Buhari I will still vote Buhari 100times over

basty:
Not from a PDP sponsored candidate who has wined and dined with PDP and above all given incentives or pecks.

How sincere is Idibia?

Fedayeen02:
It is instructive that many of those who are attempting to prevent legitimate protests against President Buhari in Nigeria see no contradiction whatsoever in hailing legitimate protests against President Trump in another democracy in faraway America. Perhaps we should not be surprised because irony and the Nigerian have never been good friends.



What more can i say than Shame on Dropshot Sarrki madridguy vedaxcool


They support Protest against Trump but shun against buhari own

Firefire:
I have some forms at a give away price...

izombie:
sorry bro. oya make manage this anu nchi. One love

ozoigbondu:
Hunger has been resetting zombies brain

olaolulazio:
He said his mind why reply with a slap threat?

akakurukukaku:
Why una nor protest when una brother GEJ de destroy Nigeria.
The truth is that no sensible Nigerian would take u guys seriously.

izombie:
zombie

Abagworo:
Many will die avoidably from 2face partisan protest and he may end up in jail for instigating crisis. If the protest wasn't a PDP backed one people wouldn't mind but as long as it is partisan APC supporters will likely confront them leading to deaths and arson.

Mynd44:
Dumb decision. Even if they dont apply, the buzz about it should be enough for you and instead of stopping a march/protest, why not just put men on standby and ensure that it is safe…

People are just silly around here

myk2mic:
Pls what type of transmission oil can I use for Honda crv 2001, dextron 2 or 3

Proudlyngwa:
Looks like Manchester City is scoring/stealing all Manchester United's goals

Jesusloveyou:
where were you and 2stupid face when your ineffectual buffoon were stealing left and right.
sold nepa to his cronies and empowered avenger to avenge his lost of election.
where were you and 2stupid face when your ineffectual buffoon were drinking away your future by importing everything even

DrObum:
Of course that's true!

We all know Obiano is the Messi in the comparison.


Obiano has never been slapped by a ghost!
Obiano doesn't owe pensioners and blackmail them to forfeit their monies.
Obiano did not arrange a flying casket with Dana Air for his people.
Obiano does not leave a refuse dump in his state capital to punish his people.

Infact, Okorocha is not even fit to be the head of a family!

BeeBeeOoh:
Please don't attack the innocent Op, rather attack the SSS for accusing Buhari of being a corrupt fellow & PREMIUM TIMES for carrying the news..


Thanks For Your Overstanding

7lives:
How can you understand when you are actually a freeloader.
Hard working folks knows how Nigeria ended up here, it's simple mathematics, 2+2 can never be 5 not to talk of 22.
Bunch of thieves, how many ordinary Nigerians benefited from 16 years of PDP's largess and contacts?, or you people really think every Nigerian is an idiot?.
Whether una like it or not, Buhari will be there till 2023, hard way is the only way no short cuts to success.
Nigeria does not even need a Buhari at this moment he has gone soft, what this country need is a STALIN.
