The unnecessary distraction we get in this thread is totally uncalled for.

Let this thread be strictly focused on omambala nationality

NwekereNdoki:
Who said we should talk about other states?? I'm only saying don't tell Igbos from another state not to pont out something wrong just because they are not from Anambra. Anambra is an Igbo state and even the ancestral home of all Igbos. U can't come here and tell other Igbos not to talk about it. I agree tat opinions must not be demeaning and insulting, but all Igbos have an opinion about Anambra whether u like it or not.

All other Igbo submission remains an opinion not an authority. The authority rest with ndi anambra. Charity they say begins at home so start the opinion from your state.

XerXers:
Wake me up when Nkpor accepts to be called Onitsha the way Nike is called Enugu and Osisioma is called Aba. The fake Anambra Identity is fraud to cover up the lack of large groups. Anambra is made up Benin, Igala and Igbos all of which are tiny autonomous communities without are larger group

Why is the monolithic culture of anambra giving you sleepless night. We love to preserve our names and culture not some sort of fakery.


Stop losing sleep over anambra identity

WhatCanIsay:
Nice thread.

One of the problems I have seen in this thread is the unhealthy comparisons. I thought maturity would have eclipsed the nonsensical my state is better than your state arguments; especially when it's tinged with swear words and abusive language?

Igbo is, and will always be Igbo. That names given to us divide us should be as abstract as the names we were given! Competition is good, but it's goodness stops when it's not productive.

I don't even understand the childish obsession with people supporting different governors against the other? Governors should rightly be criticised as all of us can't and shouldn't be praise singers. Peter Obi did well, Obiano did well, also both of them have lots of shortcomings too. Governance is continuous, progressive and dynamic, it's meant to transform the state as time goes on.

BTW, when will Soludo start cleaning the states again? Everywhere is full of refuge dumps.

Good but the fact is criticize your state governor and then president which is proper.

But don't come here to preach for us when your state is nothing to write home about

NwekereNdoki:
SO Igbos should not talk about the progress of other states again? So If you run a company the junior staff should not speak in the board room?

What kind of mindset is that?

I remember one time here in Nairaland Anambra guy floated a website called Omambala . com (The website is not active no), the website has visitors from all Igbos states. They contributed and gave ideas about development and many stuff. If you are privileged to get access to that website now, you will be amazed at the kind of ideas that were shared there. It was very educational.

For example, if SOludo build a road now and the road does not have closed gutters, u can't say someone here can't call them out eve though they are not from Anambra. And even if you want to go by this ur logic that other states should not call out wrong things, let me ask you is it only Anambra people that live in Anambra? Or are we now being hostile to Igbos from other states? Is this how it has been denigrated to?

SMH

Visitors should be law abiding that's all. Anambra is a homogeneous state, monolithic both in culture and such always try to preserve than Anambra culture. So we can't sit by and watch riffraffss come in to destroy such attributes.

You are free to contribute but constrictive else go and face your state.

Nwata chowa nkea asi na okwuwa onu.
Be guided.

NoQualmz:
You know exactly where I am heading to but here u are trying to manoeuvre to suit ur narrative.

Yes, everyone should go and mind their respective states and tackle the useless southeast govs who have impoverished them for every eight years.
If everyone tackles their respective state govs believe u me,the region wouldn’t be in this present mess.

Totally agree

NwekereNdoki:
When reasonable Igbos are thinking of how to link Alaigbo with rails like Eastern Europe some of you are here talking nonsense.

In SE I can't be proud of any state for now. They are all performing poorly. Maybe u should do a google search of what a city should look like and see if any SE state have such. Lagos is not an ideal city yet but then it's very close to what u can call a city..

Does it not bother you guys that any investment that comes to Nigeria ends up in other states and we only attract few? if it doesn't it bothers me.

It does because we will all give birth to children and they will grow to become adult who will need to woek. How many corporate companies can employ them in SE? How many companies in SE can pay up to 100k junior role or fresh graduates?

It's high time we stop being silly and think of how to savage AlaIgbo from this situation. It's not as if we are poor that's my annoyance. The money is there, but because we are divided by petty political boundaries we haven't been able to mobilize Ndigbo for economic success and growth like Michael Opkara and Sam Mbakwe did.

Now we are here online disgracing ourselves in a public platform over non--essential things and two horrible states stocking their ego. Let me break it to u again, no SE state have a proper city. U can argue this all u want but this is a fact. Anambra is trying to come close but it's very far when it comes to infrastructure and livability. Let's not shy away from the truth.

Yes SE is better than most regions, but we can't be dragging last with Nigerian states. We can be better and greater.

When I look at Anambra I look at a state that has the potential of being the metropolitan area of SE as Lagos is to the West (of course better). When I look at Imo I see a state that has the potential to be the tourism and entertainment hub of SE. When I see Enugu I see a Pretoria SE and even better. When I look at Ebonyi I see the state that'll provide SE with industrial solid mineral resources while Aba processes and manufactures these resources, when I see look at Anioma and Igbos in Rivers I see them being a marine/maritime power house.

I'm from Ndoki, in rivers state. It's shameful visiting this thread out of curiosity to find out how my brothers on the other Igbo states are faring only to find them hurling insult on themselves in the bid to stroke their ego. Its pathetic. Most annoying is the fact that what we use to boast and insult ourselves is not even something that's worth it.

What we just need is unity of purpose and brotherly love. Imagine a SE that's connected with rail. Imagine a SE wit uninterrupted power supply. Imagine a SE with 5 CBD with proper standard building. Imagine a SE with cities that have pipe-borne water, pliable roads and high speed internet connection.

There are about 4 major SEZ and Cities/large townships being developed in SE and they are;
-Lion Park, Enugu
-Awka Millinium City, Anambra
-Centinary City, Abakiliki
-Enyimba Economic City, Abia

What I expect us to do as Ndigbos is to rally round our who is who in the society to contribute and invest i these cities so that we would start the process of building a new future as soon as possible.

Also we need to rally round investors from SE and outside SE to invest in agriculture in SE to ensure food sufficiency. If after the war we still don't have food sufficiency then I wonder what we learnt after the war.

We need business, we need industrialization and we need peace and security which is the chief reason I am heavily against what Kanu did to SE because of his agitation. I as a person believe that you don't demand from the place of Weakness, if SE don't have food sufficiency and cities that make at least $10 billion yearly, we shouldn't be talking of any secession. It'll just be another suicide mission.

SEREDEC have started something, but like they lamented, they can't do it alone. There challenge so far is the individuality of Igbos.

But thak God they have been working with Barth Nnajia and Enyimba Economic City Developers to deliver the project. I believe Lion park and other projects in SE will be success story too.

We ca do this. We can be great again. We can build an Ala Igbo where our sons and daughters don't need to migrate to hostile regions to get jobs thereby being exposed to insults and threats.

BIKO, NWANEM/NDE WEM, LET'S HOLD OUR FIRE.

ANYTHING OUTSIDE THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE IGBO NATION AND ITS DEVELPMENT IS NON-ESSENTIAL.

STATES WERE CREATED 30 YEARS AGO, OUR FIRST IDENTITY IS BEING IGBOS. WE HAVE BEEN IGBOS FOR HOUSAND OF YEARS AND NOW, THE UNITY OF ALAIGBO IS KEY TO OUR SURVIVAL AS A PEOPLE

CHUKWU GOZIRI ALAIGBO.

UDO!


*Attached is a pics of how major cities should be looking like in 10-20 years time and even better. That is Accra. A good example. It's in West Africa and ofcourse its economy is not bigger than SE economy, neither do they have richer people than Igbos. For a start, let us build cities like this "one town at a time" until then can we come back here and start arguing which city is better than the other.



NOTE: My use of SE does not just mean SE as per Nigeria's definition. I mean AlaIgbo in general (SE/SS)

Topics here should be strictly on Anambra state development. Any thing aside that is trash and trash.

This message should be dropped in pan Igbo forum, the right section.

Here is strictly update In Anambra state not ana-Igbo.

globemoney01:
But you sleep and wake up on this thread not minding the fact that there is an imo state state thread, maybe if you were active in your state thread like you are here your state won't keep electing 419ners as governors.
Anambra Govt helped stand Innoson today but he went to your 419 state and got defrauded.

Hardened criminals.

419 is an understatement

Ikamandoncome:
The Onitsha new bridge will change the aerial view of the city,as an Ika man one thing that pains me so much is that we lack Access to big water body like river Niger.

Please stop posting rubbish here with your clone moniker

Pacesetterz:
Yu are always instigating one state against the other.for ur info Imo state is greater and more refined than anambra a state filled with touts

We will soon send over 73.2% touts back to una because na ur people full here.

Pacesetterz:
How many nights? Just one night and you’re calling my name

We don't need that una ikonso attitude here. Remain with it In Imo state. Anambra are well defined people.

Mekus91:
I don't want to be subjective about this matter, let's see the agreement between the two parties.
This is the response of Imo state government:



Imo state government has described as distasteful and cheap blackmail the claim by Innoson Motors that it is owing the company N2.5b being cost of the vehicles it supplied to it some months ago, insisting that the company’s claim are half truths ,intended to impugn on the integrity of the state government for ulterior motives.

Reacting to a threat by the company that it is filling a lawsuit to recover” over N2.5B debt owed’ it by the state government, the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Hon Declan Emelumba deplored the manner the company is going about the recovery of the so called debt.

The Commissioner said the truth is that the government bought vehicles worth over N5b from Innoson motors and has so far paid them N3.5b.

According to him, contrary to the claim of Innoson Motors, the said N2.5b is actually the balance due from the original value of the purchase. He regretted that Innoson motors, for reasons best known to them, decided to hide this fact from the public.

Emelumba insisted that the total value of the vehicles supplied was in excess of N5b and that the government has been servicing the debt since then.

He said the management of Innoson Motors was actually the one that breached the contractual agreement with the state government regarding the sale and maintenance of the vehicles.

According to him, there is a clause in the purchase agreement stipulating the siting of a maintenance workshop in owerri and a mobile workshop as well , by Innoson Motors, for the maintenance of the vehicles.

He noted that inspite of the fact that the company breached this agreement, the state government has been servicing the debt and still maintaining the vehicles, disclosing that more than 70% of the vehicles have already broken down.

He said both the threat by the company and resort to media trial of the government were in bad faith.

“It appears the company is out to rubbish the integrity of the government, otherwise it would not have twisted the facts of the case and published same concerning this honest business transaction , even when it failed to show the public the terms of the contract and the clauses the government breached therein. “The whole thing smacks of mischief and bad faith” Emelumba added.

He also regretted that Innoson Motors had not actually exhausted all means of negotiation before threatening the government with a law suit.

He said “the mischievous resort to media trial has confirmed that the company is more interested in compromising the integrity of the government rather than being paid its outstanding balance from the contract sum”

The commissioner disclosed that although no court process has been served it, the government will meet the company in court as soon as a process is served.

Stop copying nonsense here called Imo state press release full of lies.

419 release

Kingsbuchi:
It's unfortunate that you deliberately chose to be useless and senile. You exhibit all the xtics of inferiority complex. Nobody is envious of Anambra. Imo has a lot of bragging rights but are silent about it. Out every 100 married women in my Vila in Orlu, 30are from Anambra but no noise about it. I don't know why you always choose to use divisive statements to score cheap supremacist points..
You must be an efulefu planted in Igboland to cause division amongst Igbos..
You are indeed senseless..

Marriage has nothing to do with this your gibberish. That our women do well in anambra is because of the Anambra culture, training and spirit imbibed in them from child hood. Moreover we are now frowning on external marriages. It erodes culture.

Hope should simply pay up his debt and stop blackmailing Chief Chukwuma. Be guided.

Kingsbuchi:
You are a mad man, If you see me in reality can you talk to me? 8 of your boys are under me in apprenticeship, nobody is envious of you bro, stop spreading fallacious narrative..Na who no Dy do well Dy envy person...

You can hire 17 that's non of our business here. What you posted has nothing to do with updates In Anambra state. Stop deviating the thread pls.

Despacito1:
This are Chinese car's and it's understandable they will breakdown so quick due to Nigeria and roads. But pay innoson his money.

Do you own a bicycle?

It is obvious that those who can't make purchases in life always finds faults in others. Anika akwu

I now strongly hold the view that Chinua Achebe is really true to his pen.


So in mind of Former Governor Uduaghan he is Okonkwo and Okowa is Ikemefuna or is it that Okowa is Okonkwo and his Daughter who contested for state assembly ticket is Ikemefuna...

In Achebe's book, The old man told Okonkwo "that child (Ikemefuna) calls you father, do not have a hand in his misfortune"

Omanambala:
Guy , slow down biko. This is pure hate spilling out of you. No matter our differences we are still all human and Ndigbo. Additionally, this is not healthy for your mind. Biko , taper off.

I never mentioned Igbo so stop creating an opinion. No sane human will disconnect the people from her government. The moment the people feels detached from their government there is always an unrest in such places. No matter how great you can term them, the government serves as the people's connect. Finish.

Omanambala:
Imo state has some great people just like Anambra. You cant paint every onye Imo with one paint brush. Daalu.

I am talking to Imo government. The Government is more like the people. If the people are isolated from the government then there is a big problem.

Negodu nonsense coming from Imo state

NoQualmz:
Proudigbo is a staunch Ipob supporter and their evil practices. We don’t want such here. There’s a thread for Ipob he should go there. This is Anambra thread

He was one of Ipob donors before. But will be meandering here all the time.

Since he is IPob donor he should go to his state and be preparing for Biafra coming.

For now here is anambra thread not for ipob apologists.

1east:
Please stop. Ptoudigbo is among the most intelligent and celebral personalities here. Even though he is not from Anambra but he is a friend and lover of Anambra who wishes that Anambra gets his dues and advance at its pace. He is one person that shouldn't leave this thread for frustrated miscreants like mktinsight aka abuzz33.

Must he always quote me with same phrase all the time. Same statement from him /cut/ " they always create monikers to cause disaffection among....,/../.

He should stop viewing submissions antagonistically.

NoQualmz:
If e pain u tell ur 419 gov to pay Innoson his money

Gbam.

Amazim Ife ana Ako Ifa... They should pay and be free.

wizzyvibes:
Just look how your comment is filled with so much hate for your own igbo brothers. I just tire for una for this forum. You will hate on yorubas and hausas..and still go on to hate your own brothers. Maybe you need someone to remind you that we are all igbos first, before being from Anambra or Imo or any of the other igbo states. Continue with your superiority complex. Smh

Anambra first then others follow. Even in America Californian first before the larger populace. Charity they say begins at home so the interest of anambra comes first above all and before any other thing. That's how things should be.

Stop sleeping because nobody will allow criminals to come and run down his household. Hope Uzodimma and his people should pay up Biko.

PROUDIGBO:
Ignore that thing! He's most likely one of the crazed, multiple-monikered, Igbo wannabes whose aim on here is to try and cause divisions between Ndigbo and try to drive the Buhari/Fulani false narrative on IPOB and Mazi Kanu!

Same narrative everyday. You have over stayed your welcome. Leave.

I wonder when it has become a crime to protect the interest of anambra over looming hooligans.

Interest of the state comes first before your fictions and imaginations

Reading this for the first time.

Adadike attacked by this senile illiterates.

Imo state has too many criminal tendencies. They are criminal minded. What's the essence if not to run down his business.

A purchase of such volume, commissioned by the crook they have as Governor yet couldn't pay. Ndi ojoo.


Tomorrow they will come and be shouting Biafra .....umu anuofia.

See Imo see Abia na birds of same feathers.
In Nigeria you want to run down another man's business then in Biafra you will organize touts like Ikonso to come and burn his establishment.

Call them Imo they will tell u that Ihe hope mee arimma but criminal na criminal.

Innoson should have focused on his exploits than taking them serious.

PRESS RELEASE

Innoson Vehicles Sues Imo State Government over N2.5B Debt

Nigeria's indigenous vehicle manufacturing company, Innoson Vehicles Manufacturing (IVM) has filed an over N2.5B lawsuit against the Imo State Government under the headship of Senator Hope Uzodinma over its failure to pay or service the debt of N2,547,666,435.00 (Two Billion, Five Hundred and Forty-Seven Million, Six Hundred and Sixty-Six Thousand, Four Hundred and Thirty-Five Naira) being the purchase price of the various IVM Vehicles including their parts which IVM manufactured, sold and delivered to the State Government but Imo State Governor or its government has refused and failed to pay same despite repeated demands and appeals.

The lawsuit which was filed by Prof Joseph N Mbadugha, SAN, FCPA of McCarthy Mbadugha & Co, the counsel to Innoson Vehicles coming against repeated attempts made by the Chairman of Innoson Vehicles Manufacturing, Chief Dr. Innocent Chukwuma OFR, to the Governor urging him to pay the company on the vehicles sold, and delivered to the State Government.

For the avoidance of doubt, sometimes in April 2021, His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Imo State, Senator Hope Uzodinma invited the Chairman/CEO of Innoson Vehicles, Chief Dr. Innocent Chukwuma to the Imo State Government House, Owerri where they discussed and agreed that Innoson Vehicles would sell and supply various specifications of its brand of Vehicles to the State Government which includes, inter alia;

1. 70 units of Innoson 5 Seater double cabin pick-up (IVM Carrier) 4WD

2. 10 units of Innoson 5- Seater double cabin military pick up (IVM G12)

3. 10 units of Innoson 5 seater single cabin military pick-up (IVM G12)

4. 100 units of a complete siren with public addressing system, revolving light, and street police light;

5. 2 Units of IVM Ambulance Vehicles

6. 20 Units of IVM G12 MS11

7. 20 sets of B. Canopy

The above vehicles which were valued at over N2.5B ($6.3M) were supplied in good faith to the Imo State Government based on an understanding with the Governor which arose after a special request that Innoson Vehicles grant the State the favor of paying for the vehicles after deliveries to them and which request was granted and honored.

The special and privilege request granted to the Governor turned into a nightmare for Innoson Vehicles and Its Chairman after Chief Chukwuma had at various times through several visits, phone calls, messages, and submission of letters requesting payment appealed to the Governor and his conscience to make total payments or set up a payment plan that will offset the debt.

The inability of the State Government to pay the aforesaid purchase price of the vehicles supplied has resulted in Innoson Vehicles having difficulties in fulfilling its loan repayment obligations to Keystone Bank Limited and Bank of Industry. These Banks granted their credit facilities at the rate of 10% interest and other fees therein. More so, it has led to the loss of profit arising therefrom and the accruing interest.

It is also interesting to note that as of July 27th, 2022, the over N2.5B worth of vehicles supplied to Imo State Government in April 2021 under the leadership of Hope Uzodinma with a dollar value of $6.3M is now worth $3.8M. Even if the money is paid today, the value of the money has depreciated by over 40%.

It is therefore based on this premise that Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Company Ltd has begun the process of recovering its debts against the Imo State Government by slamming a lawsuit of over N2.5B with an interest rate of 10% on the entirety of the sum claimed at the High Court of Anambra State, Nnewi Division.

Purchase vehicle of such magnitude and not remitting as sugned with the sole aim of what? Running him down precisely?

You see these two states Imo and Abia? Fear them. Birds of same feathers with skirmish mindset. Okorocha, hope, orji uzo kalu, ikpeazu...Nda ala.
