Painful. May God comfort his young family

Speedy recovery dear

ADUBA1:
Soludo made a statement which some of us have to correct him during President Tinubu’s visit..

“The last time a president visited for a commissioning was in 2012 for a brewery”
- Gov. Chukwuma Soludo

The statement is viewed as an attempt to attack Obi who Governor Soludo has never shy away from attacking at every opportunity right from 2023 Presidential election campaign.

Now let me set the record straight as a citizen of the state who have been following events in our state for years.

In 2012, President Jonathan visited Anambra State and commissioned:
(1) Inaugurate Orient Petroleum Oil.

(2) SabMiller Brewery

(3) Orange Drugs Company

(4) Krisoral Company

(5) Onitsha Inland Port

(6) 8 lanes Onitsha Head Bridge Enugu Onitsha expressway to Umunya with new parts bridge Nkpor.
Among others

Above listed are some of the triggers to economic growth of the state. I therefore state that the very statement from Soludo was demarketing of the state.

In 2010, President Jonathan visited Anambra State and commissioned:

(1) Anambra State University Teaching Hospital.

(2) Anambra State Secretariat

(3) Kenneth Dike Library

(4) Anambra State Emergency Management Complex

(5) Parental Drugs Factory of Juhel Pharmaceutical Industries

(6) so So many roads example : Zik’s Avenue Awka to Nkpor road and Bridges.

(7) the commissioning of the National Agency for Food, Drug, Administration and Control, NAFDAC’s upgraded ultra modern area quality control laboratory, at Agulu, Anambra State and many other projects.

President Obasanjo had earlier visited during Peter Obi era in 2006/2007.
Projects Commissioned by President Olusegun Obasanjo are as follows:

(1) Onitsha Business Park: A strategic initiative aimed at boosting commerce and industry in the region.

(2) Revenue House in Awka: Established to improve the state's revenue collection processes.

(3) Anambra State Fire Service Headquarters in Awka: Built to enhance emergency response capabilities.

(4) Flagging off of Awka-Nibo-Nise-Enugwu Ukwu ring road

So it was sad to read Soludo said that what he said.
I have being trying to read what my governor marketed to the visiting President or what he used the opportunity to market as the chief salesman of the state by virtue of his position as the governor, but I am so disappointed with his statement which did not add any value to the state.

Thank you for educating them. Soludo's hate for Peter Obi is worrying.

God1000:
My people must wake up and defend their communities

the ongoing violence and killings in Benue State is heartbreaking and unacceptable. No community should have to endure such fear, instability, or loss of life. Sustainable peace, justice, and effective security measures are urgently needed to protect lives and rebuild trust.

You are an Hypocrite.
We all know in this forum that you are a terrorist sympathizer.
The killer Herdsmen gets their ideology from hezbollah houthis boko haram which is spreading of Islam by violence, hate for Christians and Jews and the ideology of that all land has been giving to them by Allah.

I don't even understand Professors in Nigeria again. Is Soludo really a Professor?

That's how Governor Professor Zulum of Borno State paid millions of Dollars to Alfa from Saudi Arabia to come and pray against insecurity in Maiduguri and few months later a devastating flood from a broken dam destroyed the city.

richiemcgold:
Ondo State which used to be one of the most peaceful in Nigeria has now become a hotbed of kidnapping, assassination and banditry. All thanks to the APC government of Mr Aketi and Mr Lucky

Aketi tried, but the new Governor is shielding criminals in the state including killer herdsmen

For the past 4 years about 2 Local Government areas have been under the control of bandits in Niger State and the press is not talking about.

The communities in those local governments pay tax to the bandits and the bandits govern them with their own set of laws.

The current Governor of the state is helpless because he need the full might of the Nigerian military to be able to dislodge those bandits and the Federal Government is not willing do help him

I have never seen a man die on top his wife.
I stand to be corrected

Daddyk87:
Sharia is the best system of governance.
Eye for eye.
Killing for killing.
No need to send killers to prison. Just kill them too.

You are joking right?

Zamfara State was carved out of Sokoto State and Sharia law introduced in 1999, since then the state have not known Peace. Banditry, Killings, destruction, displacement of indigenous people became the order of the day.

Sharia is for the poor and never hold any politician accountable, Ganduje (aka gandollar) and Ahmad Yerima (former Zamfara Governor) are clear examples.

Sharia only gives the Muslim elites legitimacy to marry underage girls and entice un-informed Muslim voters.

Very Good. The closure of school is abuse to the Student's fundamental human rights.

Just in case you are not aware, there are millions of indigenous Christians in Bauchi State.

The Children of these politicians are in the UK and US enjoying quality uninterrupted education weather Summer or Winter

AbuTwins:
Jesus dey swear for Bible?

Why do you guys wants Christians to swear before commenting Muslim jihadist thread.

AbuTwins:
She can still give birth to twins! Sarah was 90 in the Bible when she birthed Isaac!

Love in US!

You are suppose to swear before commenting on this thread

I think Labour Party has been hijacked by mischief makers, they now act as if a money bag is controlling them with a remote.

The U.S has more planes than any other country in the world.
RIP to the dead

Happy Birthday mama

My condolences to the Makinde's

How time flies. I remember when MURIC and Malami were against the formation of Amotekun. The doggedness of the South West Governors later prevailed and Amotekun was formed.
If not for Amotekun, herdsmen would have turned SW to killing fields as they are doing in the Middle belt region.

RIP Rotimi Akeredolu

FFK the chief Hamas spokesman has spoken.

Just like Lai Mohammed, FFK is no longer relevant in the scheme of things.

The name University of Abuja is brand on it's own. I don't support the name change

I thought we have outgrown all this colonial pattern of buildings for public institutions.

Football will destroy the roof before one year

Design of buildings I see in Gaza and Lebanon are far better

Nobody knows what Israel is cooking for those Houthi rebels in Yemen.
They better advise themselves now and stay off Israel.

Once you don't allow Israel to sleep you too will not sleep.

Putin is busy sending air defense to Iran while his backyard is lacking air defenses.

Smh

Beautiful

Tradepunter2:
Iran over the years have created what it calls the ring of fire.... Meaning surrounding Israel with it proxies with the sole purpose of destroying it...... Iran is a Islamic authocratic system.... They destroyed their monarch and monarchy system to install purely Islamic based leadership...... Their vision is for the entire Middle East to have such.... That way they will be sole drivers of the affairs of the Middle East .... they also have the strongest military in the middle east.... after the demise of sadam......It's the reason why you see nations like Saudi, UAE, Kuwait, oman, Jordan, bahrain all have security pacts with USA.... This pact is to defend them against Iran and it's proxies........ America becoming the world power ended invasion and absorption of stronger bigger nations against smaller nations (although some may disagree).... The vision of Iran is to restore the Persian empire which is technically the entire middle east.... Google iran claiming Bahrain is historically theirs.... Such sound bites can only get louder if they grow powerful.... It's the reason I see Israel as the only opposing force.

You are really enlightened.

The main aim of Iran spending huge amount of resources on it's proxies of war is not only to fight Israel but to destroy any Islamic nation in the world that is running Monarchy Government e.g Jordan, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar etc.. Iran's supreme leader (a Shiite muslim) said Monarchy system is unIslamic and should not be allowed to exist and should be removed by any means possible.

Behold, He that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep

Sorry dear

At the 2024 NATO Summit in Washington, D.C., allies agreed on an action plan for a stronger, more strategic, and result-oriented approach to their southern neighbors, highlighting the developing regional and global security picture. NATO claims this is a committed approach to increasing engagement and cooperation with its Middle Eastern and North African allies, including announcing the opening of its first liaison office in the region, in Amman, Jordan.

NATO cites the decision as recognizing what it calls Jordan's crucial position as a "beacon of stability" in both regional and global contexts.

The office is intended to strengthen political discourse and cooperation between NATO and Jordanian authorities, resulting in a "shared understanding of the national and regional context, and to the development and implementation of partnership programmes and activities, including, among others, conferences, courses, and training programmes in areas like strategic analysis, civil emergency planning and preparedness, crisis management, public diplomacy, cyber security, and climate change."

The Jordanian Foreign Ministry said the opening was to foster cooperation with the alliance.

JoeEeL:
.

It's time for Southern Kaduna youths to form a armed group.

These jihadists almost took over Spain if not for the Crusaders that fought for them and expelled the jihadist to Morocco.

China is massively converting all their Muslims in Xinjiang region to Atheist. Over 2 million have been successfully converted and their mosques destroyed.

I pity Europe, let them keep acting woke and allowing Jihadist into their domain in the name of Asylum. In the next few years, agitation for Sharia law will spring up in multiple cities

So sad

This looks petty to me
Professor Soludo is bigger than this

He should have waited until the road is completed with good erosion control before calling the press.

Hope the road will not be substandard because those secondhand trucks and equipment am seeing looks rented

CONGRATULATIONS to them
