common sense is my facts so you can use it if you like

Nwanne am sorry but if there is anything we have ever needed more than anything it is the ongoing Anambra International Cargo / Passenger Airport. While this is ongoing, road projects can as well go on side by side as it is already being done. Investors can never take you seriously without aviation facilities in your state.

AnambraDota:
South East is the poorest region interms of FG allocation, the have high recurrent expenditure due to population and school enrollment.
That was what Peter Obi saw and decided to hand over schools to missionaries and use the money saved to build roads and renovate schools, hospitals.

Investing in sports is good but SE governors can't afford such luxeries now because sports in Nigeria is for charity not profit making.
What I don't like is lack of multiple sports in East, football is the only sports. No Basketball Club is based in East, no cricket club, no golf course, no track n field team is home to East, we don't even host tennis or boxing touneys.

Am happy that Rojenny hosted AFN Diamond League recently but East need more variety of sports to engage the youth.

I wish Baseball and basketball popular in East, our youths need to be busy and creative, we lacked these during our time so we have known the importance so no need denying the younger ones the beauties of that.

And you keep wondering why businesses and companies keep running away from ND when the best we can always get is threats and threats and threats. The perception insecurity is high in the ND yet you keep making it worst. Am sure you have not forgotten how Warri used to be filled with companies, where are they today? all thanks to fights threats and insecurity.

What is the problem with a refinery in Kaduna?

Is it not to refine petroleum products for consumption by users in that region?
Do you expect tankers to be transporting from the South to the North? Or you think it is safer and cheaper to transport the individual volatile fractions individually after refining in the South?


Concerning the belaboured topic, it is the private investment of an individual Nigerian. The NLNG is only an interested investor. The primary investor will site his project wherever he so desires, considering his investment outlook is even beyond the Nigerian market.

Yoruba 1, Igbo 1, Abo.ki 14...

MisterLongman:
Why will Igbos say anything when he is not an Abokii.....
The Kachikwu guy is like a double-barreled as he is an igbo representing SS region

The guy is right to some extent....... The real deltans are not igbos that's why delta has two capitals (warri and asaba).......
It was the stupidity of IBB wanting to make asaba (his wife's hometown) the capital thereby merging the anioma groups and the real deltans from warri into a forceful union that caused the geographical expression called delta state today.......
The distance between warri and asaba is enough to tell you that there is no link between them.

mployer:
You called him Delta Igbo and still said he is not Igbo.



Just listen to your self


Anyway who cares about appointment from a failing government...proudly 5%

BankeSmalls:
We know that we control this country by deciding who rules and when, we should try and encourage our backward people to seek progress and development. Lagos is not th reason we should boast while our ppl languish in poverty in ogbomosho and ikare Ekiti.

Our governor in Ekiti is the laughing stock and we go and pokenose into other region matters. Why can't we stay alone and avoid leeching on the north for peanuts after we help them remain in power. Buhari only give us vice, while tinubu is crying.

We no get oil yet we dey bragg like braggadacio, claiming to be brother to south south.

Sharity begins at home.

Onitsha

investnow2013:
Anambra still need a Cargo or two Airports whatever the argument!.The Airport project will be financed by the developers. Anambra contribution in the project is the Land in which the airport will be sited & the roads which will lead to the airport site in which Obiano is already doing.Let's not forget that Anambra is the only State in Nigeria with vast economic potential without a port be it Air or Sea!.The economic importance of airport in Anambra-State cannot be over emphasised!.Businesses in Onitsha, Awka & Nnewi need to be competive & to do that, you need airport or Seaport!.This will not stop Obiano in building roads & rail transport connecting Onitsha to Awka & Nnewi!

AtlanticBreeze:
I'm really impressed with what willie obiano is doing in Anambra. Anambra would have gone very far by now if not for the charlatan petty criminal called Peter obi we used to have as governor for 8 years. For the first time, we are seeing solid infrastructure in the state

Others are building business empires how many did your father build or is anybody stopping you from building business empire as well instead sleeping on Nairaland to defend political parties.

Your own peers are not business builders they are business destroyers

woleainajnr:
Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) President Amaju Melvin Pinnick has defended his London trip where he watched Arsenal beat Chelsea 1-0 in the English Community Shield clash on Sunday at the Wembley Stadium.

The NFF boss was widely criticized for dumping the Dream Team VI and Super Falcons Olympic qualifying matches in Congo and Equatorial Guinea respectively, in addition to other top Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) matches over the weekend. But Mr. Pinnickpreferred to settle for the England trip to watch the game in company of the new Super Eagles coach, Sunday Ogorchukwu Oliseh.

In a swift reaction, Mr. Pinnick, the former Delta State Football Association chairman, took to his Twitter account to state his position regarding the controversial London trip. “Hello all, no doubt I am an Arsenal fan but I will never relegate my calling at NFF for Arsenal,” he said.

“When Arsenal was playing against Manchester some months ago, I was on the road to Ibadan to watch 3SC against Rangers,” he continued. “My vision about my mission in NFF is clear and by God's Grace, we shall get there.

“I came into London for meetings with a consortium of would-be sponsors, some requested to see the Head Coach. Aside that, there are a lot of global politics going on and if Nigeria must be accorded her pride of place in global football politics, then we must participate at the highest level,” his tweets continued.

“I appeal for your understanding and prayers, nothing good comes easy.”

Why don't you ask the strangers and the average host how are they faring in West.

Strangers and hosts in East how are they faring.

Strangers and hosts in North how are they faring

Economy of East is 90 percent in the hands of Easterners but those that couldn't compete will move out and look for less competitive grounds to till.
When the British, Portuguese, German, Spanish were partitioning Africa were they doing it because they were miserable, now Chinese are mining golds in Northern Nigeria.

Stop thinking that Western Nigeria is where igbos are, there are many igbos in West, East and Central Africa taking advantage of those economies where they are lagging behind.

Migration is not fuel by poverty

Barcanista,

Like you, I was so shocked to read that chronicle of deceit and lies by PassingShot. It is very shameful, hurtful and painful that someone, for the sake of groundnut, fanta and cabin biscuits will stoop so low to put up a lie, just to counter a claim. Even more sil.ly was that the "facts" made mockery of his article, defeating the purpose for which it was created.

While in the bus going to work this morning, I was doing a mental composition of a rebuttal - in my head - of that lie, to set the record straight. I see that you've just done exactly what I intend to do. I salute you for this.

Now, you PassingShot, you really should be banned. There is freedom of speech but freedom of propagating lies should have some consequences. You really have no shame. Even thieves have honour but you, who claim to be upright, you have nothing. You should bury yourself in shame. It is the height of hatred for truth that you'd put up that thing just for what, to score cheap, useless point? It is very glaring now to all of us, who your true master(s) is/are. It is also now evident that you do not work for the interest of Mr. Buhari because even as you are aware, Mr. Buhari did come out to deny his involvement in the revamping of the refineries and that is good to set the record straight.

Unfortunately, so pathetic and horribly of your intentions, you wrote an article to give credit to Mr. Buhari. That's SHAMEFUL sir! Whose interest do you really work for, again?

You need to purge yourself from the toxic hatred you NATURALLY habour against TRUTH! You need to cleanse yourself from your negative fantasies. Most of us do not work for GEJ nor PDP but we are just simply patriot because, NATURALLY, we LOVE him.

Lastly, to the moderators, you need to correct this error. Barcanista wrote an article and when it was sent to the front page, credit was given to him. But PassingShot did his and credit wasn't given to him. What that means...is that knowing that politics is a very sensitive subject especially in Nigeria, we need to distinguish between articles issued by political parties through official channels and individuals most especially on the front page. This will help folks like me not to waste precious scarce resources opening empty, useless threads.

For those of you wondering what OBJ did in 8 years, you are not to be blamed. Most Nigerian Africans only see the present and are incapable of looking into the future or seeing the bigger picture. To most Africans, a good president is the one that builds/renovates roads for immediate consumption.

Obj saved several billions of dollars in his 8 years of leadership so that his successor will have funds to bring about massive infrastructural development. Go and check the amount he met in Nigerian coffers in 1999 when he assumed office and also check the amount he left behind when he left. Good leadership requires forward thinking, vision and proper planning. It is not about indiscriminately awarding contracts or what you achieve now, but rather, it is about what your efforts achieve much later for your constituents.

After many years of military rule, OBJ successfully lifted Nigeria out of a deep economic and political pit and placed Nigeria on the world economic map. OBJ cleared Nigeria's external debts and boosted our foreign reserves like never before. The reason behind that was to strengthen Nigeria's credit worthiness and restore Nigeria's political relevance in the international scheme of things. OBJ's 'wasted' 8 years was wasted in building a mega-momentum for the nation to launch us into massive infrastructural development. Unfortunately for OBJ and for Nigeria, OBJ never knew his successors were going to be visionless, irresponsible wasters.

The train tracks you talk about, it was under OBJ's regime that the masterplan of the modernised Nigerian railway system was prepared. OBJ successfully constructed the Ajaokuta - Warri standard gauge line (which is of great economic importance to the steel cities) and he was about commencing the Abuja to Kaduna standard gauge rail when he handed over to Yaradua. However GEJ came in and renovated the 1903 narrow gauge tracks from Lagos to Kano instead of following the masterplan which was meant to replace the old tracks with modern standard gauges. Now we can only have snail speed trains and people are celebrating GEJ and insulting OBJ. A little investigation would even reveal that the money squandered in resuscitating the 1903 lines would have at least built half of the modern lines thereby giving us standard world class high speed trains.
