More and more wailing threads expected. Keep them coming

sarrki:
Reno keep shut

Igbokwe is a gentleman

An elder statesman

You are a sycophant and a fugitive

Igbokwe is greater than Awolowo and Tinubu combined, in fact, Igbokwe for governor of Lagos, One Nigeria

Katyusha:
Dont bother trying to be macho. Your Igbo hero was busted and humiliated. Am sure he won't show his face in public again. Trust me.

More consolations, it is allowed

Is it not Nigerian Authorities that requested for a Senator? After you all said no senator will show up, we ended up having senators lining up, now you are here wailing

Enugu, community in fresh showdown over centenary city project
By From Lawrence Njoku, Enugu | 13 March 2017 | 4:20 am

Map of the Enugu Lifestyle and Golf City

The long-simmering distrust between Enugu State Government and Amechi – Uwani community in Enugu South local government council over marginalisation claims appear set to threaten multi-billion naira Centenary City project, following fresh demand by the landowners for the return of their land and restraining of the private developer.

The massive and ambitious project, the Enugu Centenary City (Enugu Lifestyle & Golf City, ELGC), a partnership project between the State government and a South African Company- Private Estates International Limited began in 2009, after the Sullivan Chime administration issued the Certificate of Occupancy (CofO) to the firm to develop a modern city.

Designed around the style and comforts offered by the most advanced cities whilst retaining broad African influences, Enugu Lifestyle and Golf City according to the promoters, will be the best place in Nigeria to live, work, learn, play and shop. It is set on 1,097 hectares of lush green savannah with the Udi Hills as a picturesque backdrop.


The residential plots present breathtaking views of the golf course, lakes and reserved green areas. Irrespective of the plot size (ranging from 300m² – 3,000m²), the city promises to deliver a lifestyle of luxury, serenity and security. The price for each plot depends on the community and plot size and goes for N16, 000 per square meter or 14,000 per square meter depending on the plot type.

ELGC development coincides with the 100 years anniversary of the creation and existence of Enugu city. Currently, the proposed amenities include shopping malls, institutions, and offices, playgrounds that would make it distinct.

Last week, placard- carrying members of the Amechi Uwani community numbering over 2, 000 staged a peaceful protest in the area, asking the developers to quit and state government to return their land over alleged insensitivity on the part of the developer.

Some of the placards read: “Agbana centenary city is not for sale”, “Government don’t acquire land to sale, they acquire for public interest”, you cannot take our land and turn round to sale it N15million per plot”, where will our children live if you sale this land?” Give us back our land as it is no more for ESUT”, among others.

Led by their traditional Prime Minister, Chief Micheal Oguejiofor Okenwa, they said the land was forcefully taken away from them without negotiation or compensation on the guise of overriding public interest.

“We went to court against Enugu State government and the private developers and our suit No/E/416/2012 has been pending at the Enugu State High Court. More than a year ago, the defendants told the court that they wanted out of court settlement and requested time. We agreed but the defendants failed to initiate any negotiation since then.

Efforts to get the state government’s reaction proved abortive. But the company said they acquired the land through the Enugu state government in 2009, after they convinced government of their determination to have modern city project.

The company’s Project Manager, Chamberlin Mbachu called on the state government to resolved the issues as it was already creating a negative impact on the project.

THree wise men

Peter Obi spoke on how to spend public money, he did not stop anybody form enjoying his/her hard earned money. Peter has always been very rich even before becoming a governor.

RosaConsidine:
Probably one of the more confusing threads I've come across on Nairaland in recent times.

Abeg, who is fighting who exactly on this thread?

I think everybody is fighting Obiano and his goons. Awka is now Europe, effect of Oshogbo weed

MXrap:
I ask again, is wawa your name or name of your state or people? Can you prove it with documented history? Or is your mind pricking you over nothing?

ask nonsobaba to proved whatever needs to be proved, he just added wawa, a new entrant into the long list of betrayers in the war. What kind of mumu war with uncountable betrayers, wtf men

Yorubaland, the capital of political assassination and thuggery

MXrap:
Is your name wawa?

not at all, just hearing their name on the list of betrayers for the first time. Which kind shitty war was that, how can it have so much betrayers??

I have learnt a lot here

nonsobaba:
Ruggedized, more pictures abeg. It gives me pleasure seeing how Wawa people are getting their comeuppance for their acts of betrayal during the civil war. Just see the designs fulanis are drawing on their backs. It must feel very much like okpa and coke.

Wawa people betrayed you too? which kind shitty war where everybody betrayed. wtf??

Who sent Oshogbo weed to Obiano again? Europe ko

nonsobaba:
O be real. We both know that wawa are the filthiest of igbos. The parts of Onitsha that are affected by that report are areas populated by wawa people (okpoko and fegge). Also, the air pollution in onitsha is caused by the ubiquitious wawa okada riders. That is why Obiano has proposed to ban okada riding in Onitsha and Awka immediately he resumes his second term.

The report proves that Onitsha is already a global city that just requires the weeding of the aforementioned Wawa nuisances to make it more attractive. You can even see Karachi, Pakistan's biggest city, sitting close to Onitsha on that report. I didn't see Enugu there even though it hosts Obiagu, the biggest slum settlement in Igboland.

BTW, Enugu has igbotic roads. Go to akwa-ibom to know what road construction is all about.

Lol, anambra's peanut IGR comes from Okada since no serious cooporated investor goes to the filthy state, that is why any ban on okada will spell doom and they won't be able to construct the china roads they are managing to construct,. Onitsha is a gloabal city in in pollution and filth, Enugu is not your mate. we will soon apply fashola's law and dump your filthy as.s in your upper iweka jungle before you bring your life of filth into this lovely state

Amarabae:
why do some people love to celebrate mediocrity?
this is a dirty and poorly constructed junk of a road with an open gutter and no sidewalk.
Anambra deserve better pls.

Anambra make empty noise over nothing

nonsobaba:
If you want to see dirty, mediocrity and junk, meet wawa people of enugu state.

Nope, Onitsha is the world capital of filth. Go and learn road construction from Enugu and stop embarrassing yourself

Rosskii:
Something else that needs to be realised is that not building sidewalks has economic costs in the long run. It kills tourism and commerce, and leads to ill health.

Tourism because tourists do not want to come out of their hotels and be jumping gutters, and walking through sand and weeds, so they decide NOT to visit your country at all. Commerce is ruined because the public are discouraged from doing window shopping, with the impulsive buying that comes with that. This amounts to countless billions in lost revenue for businesses and taxes to govt across the country. Health is affected because the human proximity to putrid, open gutters, must take a negative toll.

We must do better.

shut up my friend, Street in Sagamu can't even get ordinary taring

deomello:
And innermost roads doesn't deserve drainage and sidewalk for people to walk on?



Below is Ijede in Lagos state, it's not even a local government.

You people are quick to badmouth other people, but you make silly excuses for your own dirty and substandard rubbish.

Keep quiet my friend, why must it be nomansland, this Ibadan road

Rosskii:
ALL roads and streets in urban/residential areas MUST have sidewalks.

Sidewalks are not meant for just ''major roads''!!!!

How many do you have in Ile-Ife and Owo

Rosskii:
Dude, stop this nonsense. It doesn't matter if it's a city of 20 million, or a town of 5,000 people. Whenever you build a road in an urban or residential area, you MUST build pedestrian sidewalks alongside the road. This is the way it is done all over the world. Motorists do not have superior rights to pedestrians. Roads are meant to cater for BOTH motorists AND pedestrians. We need to rid ourselves of the mentality that sidewalks are some sort of luxury. They are not. They are an essential part of urban infrastructure in any society.

How many do you have in Ogbomoso and Sagamu??

gberra:
That was a Good reply bro. Their English is best served as drivers & gatemen. They are a bunch of educated wastebags.

IPobs are fools.

what have you achieved with your english except carrying files from one office to another

Rosskii:
TALK IS CHEAP.

stop making noise here, see a major road in aba. Aba-Owerri road, with underground drainage and side walk

Rosskii:
SHUT UP.... I'VE BEEN IN CONSTRUCTION SINCE BEFORE YOU WERE BORN. THERE IS NO PROVISION FOR SIDEWALKS ON THOSE ROADS, UNLESS THEY PLAN TO DEMOLISH THE ADJOINING HOUSES, WHICH THEY DON'T. SECONDLY, SIDEWALKS ARE BUILT SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THE MAIN ROAD, NOT ''AFTER'' THE ROAD IS BUILT, IN ORDER TO KEEP COSTS DOWN. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY NO PROVISION FOR SIDEWALKS HERE..

These are innermost inner streets, stop comparing it with major roads. Major roads reconstructed in aba came with covered drainage and sidewalk

Rosskii:
Calabar and Lagos understand that pedestrians matter, and must be catered for in a civilized society.

so ENugu and Owerri are in the moon not SE, why compare a local government with state capital??

Rosskii:
OPEN GUTTER PARADE.

WHERE ARE PEDESTRIANS SUPPOSED TO WALK ALONG THESE PRIMITIVE ROADS?

WHERE ARE THE SIDEWALKS?

ARE PEDESTRIANS NOT NIGERIANS?

WHY MUST THEY BE CONFINED TO SAND AND GUTTERS?

THESE ANIMALS RULING THE SOUTH EASTERN STATES NEED TO GET WITH THE 21ST CENTURY.

GO AND TAKE LESSONS FROM AMBODE IN LAGOS. HE'S YOUR JUNIOR, BUT HE'S MILES AHEAD OF YOU INTELLECTUALLY.

SHAMELESS BUFFOONS BUILDING OPEN GUTTER ROADS FOR THEIR FATHERS IN 2017.

why always Nomansland. why not Ogbomoso. Lol

drake2000x:
Ipob are smart...using the kids, let's see how the trigger-hungry military and Police will shoot kids. Amnestly International are in the midst videotaping and waiting for them. Shooting kids will be the quickest way to bring Biafraa. Hahaha...I love this strategy!

Notice also their May 30 this year will be "sit at home". Changing strategies

Jabioro:
Let us put tribalism aside, the South East governors and the governances needed to put her house in order, they should rise to this ugly site, security, hooliganism and vices that doesn't encouraged the growth of socioeconomic activities.. Honestly

Obiano constructed a china road, not SE. Ambode did this type of china road too

nonsobaba:
This road could be from anywhere. Imo, Abia, Enugu states, wherever. Obiano's ever growing popularity is really unsettling some haters in opposition parties and neigbouring states.

LOl, Obiano and china roads are like 5 and 6

alade112:
Hahahha . Some people will soon come here to shout propaganda. When NULGE president said Osun’s Roads, Schools Have No Parallels In Nigeria the red mud Devils are busy masturbating posting Anambla piz upandan. Una see Una live.

Anambra have the best road interconnecting all parts of the states, constructed by PETER OBI. Obiano is a scam

Abuja was not the only functional airport, if we shut down this port for repairs how are we going to cope?? Before Abuja was repaired, Kaduna airport was upgraded to do exactly the type of job Abuja airport was doing, so you should advocate that Calabar port to be upgraded to Lagos standard, cargo diverted to Calarbar, then Lagos repaired
