ANSMEDIA: Innoson vehicle manufacturing company based in Anambra state has begun production of jet-steps for the upcoming Anambra international airport.

Anambra international airport is expected to resume commercial flights soon as finishing works are nearing completion.
I'm friends with the guy on Facebook and he's probably more passionate about his Igbo roots than many of us are. Check his Facebook page and you'll see that 90% of his posts are focused on the Biafran history and Igbo culture, I'm glad that many of our African American brothers are beginning to trace their ancestral roots. Happy married life to our African American (now officially our Igbo brother) and his beautiful Igbo Queen
Kings999: All I have to say is that bad government is the main cause of ritualist, yahoo, armed rubbery and all kinds of crimes..
YORUBAS ARE HIGHEST TRIBES WITH RITUALIST AND ARM ROBBERY IN NIGERIA, BUT THE AFONJAS AND FULANIS WON'T SAY IT..
they are busy carrying Igbo matters on their head... If this news is a news against the igbos you will see how the fulanis and Yoruba muslims will be commenting like ants, even the admins will quickly move it to front page immediately....
Agent8706: Women! Deep inside them, they crave to want to dominate and if they have their way with a simp, they will and they overdo. Give them a hand and they will want your whole arm.
That's why today's breed are busy shouting up and down the future is.....when the only thing most of them have to bring to the table is nothing but what's between their legs.
Easyincome24: South African politician and businessman, Tshekedi Pitso, loved his Mercedes Benz so much that he only had one last wish before he died, that he was buried in it. He got his wish.
There are many people who are attached to their vehicles but taking the car along to the grave might seem a bit too much.
South African politician and businessman Tshekedi Pitso was buried inside his favourite car, a Mercedes Benz. Pitso was dressed in a white suit with his hands on the steering wheel of the Benz and seatbelt buckled when he was lowered into his grave.
Images of people tucking him inside the car and then covering it with a satin white cover and bouquet have been going viral since the day of the funeral.
FreeBiafra2018: Some fools without brain will believe this childish lies. If you look at that two pictures you'd discover that it's actually one person who was beating to death with heavy object, you can see that his hand is obviously broken and swollen with bruises all over his body and they layed him in two different positions with two different guns while removing his trousers in the first picture to give the impression that he's two persons, they even arranged fetish looking fabrics and tied around his waist and called it charms, liars without brain.
That's how they go about killing innocent people labelling them IPOB, all this market weh Una dey price like this, payment will commence just very soon.
SmartProf: Northern fools rather. Some stupid statements from these so called northern elders can't even be made by creche kids who are asleep. Insurgency in the north doesn't bother them, but an unharmful Oduduwa anthem in Ondo is their pain. If I am Akeredolu I will ask schools to provide microphones for the kids to sing the anthem more loudly.
It's sad he didn't get to enjoy the perks of his office, even sadder that he died relatively young. I can imagine the pain his friends and relatives will feel knowing they didn't get to use his position to intimidate people just like that barber at Umunneochi who has a business card that reads "Brother of the Councilor Ward 2".
We can only take solace in the fact that, just like Adamu Garba has pointed out, "there are over 200,000 General Attahirus in the Nigerian Army. Nothing will change. Nothing will stop. Nothing will slack".
And like we grew up saying in 042, "soldier go, soldier come, kpekus remains". The Nigerian Army should know better and not cancel this ceremony.
Godsownchild199: Hi Everyone, I’m 26 years old and I want to share my little story with you all. I hope you can learn a thing or two from it. This is not my main account, I had to create a new account in view of my decision to share my story on this platform. I’ve been a Nairalander since 2012 and I have benefitted from the amazing academic and career insights shared by many. So, I thought it kind to share mine to help others in this amazing community.
I graduated from the University (if I reveal this, my colleagues who are avid Nairalanders would identify me ) some 4-5 years ago with a second class upper, then proceeded to the Nigerian Law School (still made 2:1) and served in Rivers State. I did my NYSC in a reputable law firm (name withheld) in Port Harcourt. It was quite an experience both good and bad. I left the firm after service year out of frustration due to the poor leadership and mismanagement of funds by the head of office (the guy has since been fired). Mind you, my salary as a corper was 10k (the average NYSC legal associate in Lagos earned at least 5 -7 times this amount). I had depression at this point in my life.
After my unpleasant experience at the Port Harcourt firm and months of depression coupled with deep thinking and reflection, I decided to relocate to Lagos in January 2020 hoping to find a change in perspective. Mind you, I’m not from a poor background, my parents are both highly educated and middle-class workers residing in the South. Part of my resolve in relocating to Lagos was that I wouldn’t practice law again, I’ll probably go into technology, banking, or corporate communications (I speak eloquently).
After my relocation, I teamed up with a friend to work at a technology startup somewhere on the Island but this newfound path didn’t go as planned (I call this divine providence) and I was back to sitting at home. I did a few speaking jobs (volunteering) and some petty legal jobs for my friends and family to get by. At this same time, I was aggressively applying for both legal and non-legal jobs. This decision came on the background of my Dad’s advice that I should dust my CV/Certificates, search for a job and revive my already dwindling legal career. My Dad’s attempt to connect me to a senior partner at a hotshot law firm in Victoria Island failed and I basically had to do it my way.
Fast-forward to mid-February 2020 I had three interviews in three law firms within a space of two weeks. These firms ranged from mid-sized to small-sized. I attended all the interviews, the first interview was in a small law firm managed by a Senior Advocate. The SAN immediately liked my personality and offered to instantly hire me on a monthly pay of 100k (below industry standard). The other two law firms had slightly better remuneration, great structure and were bigger in size and outlook but their recruitment process was lengthy and I had to start immediately with the SAN on my Dad’s advice. I grudgingly stayed with the small firm hoping that I’ll get an offer from either of the two mid-sized firms and then port. Unfortunately, COVID happened and one of the firms discontinued my recruitment process while the other firm out rightly rejected me. I was deeply heartbroken. In order to keep my spirit and dreams alive, my Dad kept drumming into my ears that a smaller firm meant more work and a better learning experience. He kept reiterating the need to “know” the law and stop chasing money (what all senior lawyers say ). So, I was basically stuck with this 100k job, trust me at first the environment was deadening and monotonous (reading law reports and writing legal opinions every day isn’t fun at all ). I felt like ditching my Old man’s advice and resigning during this period but due to COVID, I had to borrow commonsense and stay back. Little did I know that staying back was the best decision I would ever make to date, all thanks to God, my Dad and COVID.
While 100k may sound fair to most people, kindly note that some of my colleagues (with the same academic grades as mine) in top firms earned a monthly average of 250k or more. This awareness made me very discontent and unhappy but I still hung on to my job (a bird in hand is worth more than two in the bush) besides, who quits his or her job in the midst of a COVID induced global economic crises.
Then in October 2020, everything changed! My boss got this very big personal legal project, it was really big and my boss asked me to come on board the project team. I was then paid the sum of N2.5Million for my participation and input in the project. Later on, another personal project came through, although little. I did not even do much this time and my boss gifted me 500 Pounds from the project. All of this financial largess is outside my boss’ magnanimity in other areas like superb mentoring, paying for my professional certifications, and giving me advice (my boss can advise for Africa ), etc. Mind you, no matter how much I’m gifted or paid from the personal projects handled by my boss, my salary is still fully paid and as at when due. All these legal projects are reflected in my CV and have greatly boosted my career prospect. These projects have also helped me to build an impressive Linkedin profile and I’m currently very active in that space.
Recently, I got involved in another personal legal project with my boss and was paid N2 Million from the project fees. Sometimes, I look back at the events of my life and ask myself how I got to this pivotal point. If I hadn’t listened to my Dad’s advice and sought God’s face, I don’t think I would enjoy this type of privilege. I remember asking God for a multinational job but here I was, stuck with a 100k job completely unaware that God put a multinational remuneration in a small office with barely 8 employees. I’ve only worked for a year and 3 months but I’ve achieved what some people haven’t achieved in 3-5 years (career-wise and financially). Please don’t reject certain little offers that come your way, pray to God and seek advice where possible. Some blessings come in disguises and you may never know. This is my little grace-filled career story; I hope it inspires someone today. I want to thank God Almighty for his grace in my career and my lovely parents for their advice and tremendous support.
PS: I have abridged my story to hide certain facts and information for my personal safety and that of my office and boss. My story may sound too good to be true but believe me, it is absolutely true.
Dr. Godwin Maduka, a frontline governorship aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Anambra State, has continually demonstrated an uncommon passion for the betterment of the people of the State.
At a time, both serious and unserious contestants for elective offices in Nigeria scramble to be elected, it is important the electorate ascertain their capacity and abilities, as a basis to elect or reject them at elections.
In other words, it is vital they asses how each aspirant has fared or performed in his or her private endeavour before entrusting him or her with a leadership position.
Records have shown that it is only those who excelled in their chosen field of endeavour made impacts in public office when elected.
Former Governor of Anambra State, Mr Peter Obi, is a testimony. He was an astute business man , one of the nation's influential players in the financial sector, before he forayed into politics, and later became governor of Anambra State.
Such a feat is on the verge of repeating itself in the State, If Anambrans take cognisance of the giant strides and monumental success Dr. Godwin Maduka has recorded in the field of medicine on the global stage.
Maduka successfully set up and runs Las Vegas Pain Institute, one of the respected health institutions in the United States.
Located in six different locations across Nevada, the Institute, with state of the art medical facilities, is one of the best medical centres in the U.S, which offer quality medical services, particularly in the area of pain management to people across the globe.
From Jamaica to Spain, down to Seychelles up to Egypt, hundreds of nationals of foreign nations come to the Institute to seek quality medicare, which Maduka and his team have effectively rendered.
This clearly showcase the fact that Maduka has proven his mettle in medicine at the global stage and having attained such enviable feat, he certainly has the capacity to take Anambra State to eldorado.
Maduka's success in medicine is not only on the global stage, he replicated such feat back home, when he set up a similar medical facility in his home town, Umuchukwu in Anambra State, which is rendering quality medical services to ANAMBRARIANS and those from outside the State.
His huge footprints in the field of medicine, is a testimony and reflection of his ability to take Anambra State away from its present socio economic doldrums to the zenith of development.
