Stop replying to that imposter here, he is not Igbo, he had been planted here to sow a seed of discord amongst nwafors...


He loves cloning peoples monikers to appear real, he has more than 20 different monikers.

Watch as he replies this tweet with another moniker then likes same reply with his different monikers as he loves doing. A jobless thwart.

Nnewi, One Of The Fastest Growing Cities In The World || Areas Experiencing The Most Rapid Growth

So many international organisations have listed Nnewi, a city in Anambra state, Nigeria as one of the fastest growing cities in the world, in the last three years. This came as a shock to so many, especially those who have always known Nnewi to be just for trading and manufacturing.

However, anyone that knows Nnewi very well will attest to the fact that the economy of Nnewi have significantly been diversifying from Commerce and manufacturing, as so many other sectors are now experiencing rapid growth, and receiving serious attention by investors.This has also led to a tremendous increase in the population of the city.

Some of the sectors that have been contributing to this rapid growth include;

1. Entertainment and hospitality:
Within the last four years, Nnewi has been experiencing a massive boom in the hospitality sector. So many booming lounges like Evo lounge, Panda gardens, Everfresh eatery, B. Robinson coffee house,CD 195 etc have set up in Nnewi.
Also,more than 15 hotels have opened within this period, with over 30 hotels still under construction. That's definitely a huge one for the hospitality of the city.
Also, two big entertainment centres are fast getting completed in the city of Nnewi. One of the entertainment centres, Komworld will have the biggest cinema houses in West Africa on completion. It will also have games facilities for children and adults, lounges, cafes, film production and distribution studios etc.
Very massive opportunities are about to be created for creatives and entertainers in Nnewi, Anambra, South East and beyond.
The other entertainment/media centre opening in Nnewi is owned by Authority media house, and it's said to be coming with a TV station, radio station, cinema houses, theatres and lots more.
With these, Nnewi is bracing up to become the entertainment hub of the region.

2.Health Sector :
Health is another sector that's experiencing massive growth in Nnewi at the moment. The Permanent site of Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching hospital, Nnewi is fast getting completed, to be able to contain all the facilities the temporary site could not accommodate The Chief Medical Director(CMD) said that when the permanent site is completed, it will help position Nnewi as the medical hub of South-East, Nigeria.
Also in the health sector is Premium Kidney Hospital which was opened last year for kidney related issues. The state of the art Accunalysis diagnostic centre and Accu Care Foundation Hospital were also opened in the last four years.

3.Entreprenuership :
In the last fews years, so many people have relocated from different parts of Nigeria to Nnewi and majority of them go into entrepreneurship. SMEs are springing up in every part of the city. This is one of the reasons finding a shop or an outlet in the city is very difficult, as most new shops under construction is being taken up even before it's completed.

4.Industrialization :
The industrial sector in Nnewi continues to get attention. In the last four years, Innoson has expanded his vehicle manufacturing factory, and he's currently building another very massive Vehicle manufacturing factory in Nnewi, which will become the biggest on completion.Chicason group also established a recyling plant in the city.
Also in the industrial sector is Jolly jolly noodles manufacturing company that was opened in the year 2020.

Nnewi's success and growth has always been like a miracle to many, as Nnewi is in the inner part of the state far from the two major interstate highways that passed the state and also the fact that the city has received little or no help from the government when it comes to infrastructural development.

Let's look out for Nnewi, as the city is definitely changing to become what everybody will be proud of.

U are now blaiming FG

The only reason Seplat is yet to complete that project is cause of IPOB. DOn't come here and blame FG

Anambra and Abia used to compete over 1st and 2nd. Abia has been knocked out of the top ten, while Anambra has dropped to the 3rd position. Despite the high literacy in Imo, it is not on the top ten of the best results. Sokoto and Nasarawa have moved into the top ten league.

The world is spherical. If you snooze, others overtake you.

SpaceTour:
Xerxers, christejames and okeysoninv are all from Enugu state, please can you three go to your state thread and argue about your villages there. Or do you guys want us to move to Enugu thread and do the needful

christejames:
Accept it...



You know nothing about Nsukka. Go and research about the zone like I said.

christejames:
Nsukka is always misunderstood as just the main town alone...

Go research about Nsukka Cultural Zone and towns therein. You know the zone is the most populated in the state right?

Jcoleworld911:
Imagine that bitterness and envy coming from someone we call Igbo brothers

That’s why I don’t believe in Igbo unity nonsense, let everyone work nd develop their state, the bitterness from so called our brothers is something else

okeysoninv:
That anchor is olodo, you can get numerous product from coal, like replacement of Portland cement with coal ash by 40%, coal can be refined to get diesel, methanol, and hydrogen. South Eastern people are lazy bucks just like most of the country this what I found out. coal Deposit in Enugu is more than 2b tons if proper geological survey is carried. The iron ore also in Enugu are huge but no one is tapping into it.

Despacito1:
Innocent is doing great, but he should not be using Nnewi brain on us because there is no manufacturing Automated plant in Nnewi. Why is he clamming that 80 percent of the components are sourced and made In Nnewi. We all knows he goes to China, buy this vehicles in parts, comes to Nnewi to Assemble them with his IVM logo. But that's an impressive one hence it's employing our youths, bringing industrial activities to the state. It's high time he brings those Chinese milling and Lathe machines to start doing proper production than taking our money to import Chinese cars for us in igboland.

Despacito1:
so somebody cannot aske questions without getting a backlashes from nonentities abi? You guys are not serious, it's for those that is Afraid of commenting when need be, for me if I see any need I will with no apology for any ipob/ESN terrorist everywhere trying to hinder anybody here.. when are they making the airport international, abi it's only meant for Abuja and Lagos to Anambra state? Solution should expand it or build bigger international wing..

when is international flights going to Start? Is that not what it was built for??

Or is it just a local airport with the international " acronym? Just like the one in Enugu that Only receives Ethiopian airline

Only a fool and an ethnic bigot will say Awka has the best stadium in the southeast.
Even when Nnamdi Azikiwe stadium,The pa ngele stadium in Abakiliki centenary city,the Enyimba international stadium (Elephant park) and the Dan Anyiam stadium have not been mentioned.
These Anambra dudes are mere arrogant,chest beating personalities.
All the negativity ascribed to the Igbo race are because of anambarians

3duj:
You Dey craze, the best stadium in the East is that of Enugu followed by Abia. The new one at Ebonyi will definitely be in another class totally.

That’s why I keep insisting that some of you idiots aren’t Igbo. No true igbo man will love to denigrate fellow Igbo states all in the name of propaganda. Unfortunately,the great minds that pushed this thread this far are no longer around.

Just like the saying that when the cat is away, little mice comes out to steal

Jcoleworld911:
When we talk of good governance umahi shouldn’t come close to it

For almost eight years in office, there’s no employment of any form in Ebonyi state not to talk of promotions, he even cut salaries of civil workers and sack almost half of civil servants in Ebonyi state.

There’s no single investment attracted to Ebonyi state either by umahi or friends

The state prides itself as an agricultural state still yet nothing is done in that aspect

Some persons will argue that he concentrated on infrastructure but is only in abakaliki town, inside Ebonyi is a hell, and lest I forget the kind of hunger in that town is heart breaking.

I visited their mall, apart from everyday and few others, other outlets are empty, same thing with their so call international market, half of the market is empty

You guys need to visit Ebonyi to understand the suffering of the people. Almost half of ebonyians are not living in Ebonyi state, I just pity living there

Adaisback:
they said we have so many influential people that are disrupting their plans of achieving Biafra. Our gov should do something fast

Adaisback:
my dear, it's getting serious . Ogidi area command cane under serious attack yesterday and three people were killed. Soludo, pls do something, I kneel down dey beg o. Ndi Abakiliki biko leave us alone o. One man personally told me that it is ndi Anambra that is their stumbling block in getting Biafra. My people are under attack. Gov Soludo, biko you have to keep that Udo one side and put on the cloak of vawlence otherwise they won't let us be.

gidgiddy:
Look at who is claiming to be from Anambra but is angry that I celebrated the city of Onitsha with pictures from two years ago.

It shows that you are not Igbo, just another urchin from Ogbomosho who is angry at how developed Onitsha is

Adaisback:
It has been brought to our notice this current Simon Ekpa's unknown gunmen consists mostly of Abakiliki people and they have the guts to come to Anambra to torment us. Anybody close to Soludo should talk to him. I don't know why that man is not taking security serious. People were almost killed at Nnewi yesterday. We must do something and urgently too .

ebufa:
Nobody is 100% useless! If you are a student of history and strategy.....you will know this fact! Even prisoners and felons have their nuisance value! Russia after 1 calendar year of relentless bloodletting in Ukraine has released felons and criminals in her prisons to fight with Wagner mercenary army in a freedom for 6 months at the front deal!

The ESN you are disparaging today ......may yet be useful to us! Bros my eyes dey ground! FEBRUARY 25th is going to be pivotal and I smell an Abiola 1993 election debacle............we are not out of the woods yet..............by any stretch of imagination! You will do well not to heave a sigh of relief yet!

NwekereNdoki:
Igbos miscalculate and overhype Lagos sometimes.

I did the maths and i found out that investing in the east will give you access to bigger market than Lagos.

Here is how.

South South and South East has a population of 26 and 22 Milllion people respectively. If you combine them together that's 48 million people.

South West has a total population of 32.5 million people.

Now if you observe the attached map there are two circles I drew there. The yellow and the blue circle.

The yellow circle consist of what I call the economic catchment areas of Eastern Region. This catchment areas includes SS/SE and some parts of Cameroun and Equatorial Guinea.

As I mentioned, minus Cameroun and Equatorial Guinea, the total population of SS/SE alone is a market catchment area that's more populated than SW.

What this means is that citing an industry in SS/SE will give you access to more market than the market available in SW. Some of our Igbo brothers are always deceived that Lagos has the population hence the need for them to set up industry in Lagos/Ibadan axis. That's a big lie. Only Abia, Owerri and PH will give you whatever market you need to sell your product. And also, it is a known fact that most of these stuffs produced in Lagos/Ibadan axis finds their way into SS/SE. Example snacks and biscuits.

Now if these things still comes to SS/SE and gets consumed what is the sense in now going as far as Lagos to set up this factories when in actual sense if u set it in SS/SE you get access to more ready market and population. Now if I go further to add Equitorial Guinea and Cameroun you know what this means.

Now let's talk about the blue circle.
As you might have observed, Abuja is closer to SE/SS than Lagos/SW. Now if this is the case why do our people still think they should cite their bizness in SW/Lagos/Ibadan when they can cite it in SS/SE and get to the market in Easter NC, NE and Abuja faster?

I have contemplated on this and I honestly don't see the sense of setting up industries in this areas when at the end of the day your goods gets consumed more outside the region you set up factory.

Innoson is a good example that proves that setting up in SE/SS is more viable than SW. From Nnewi Innoson can easily sell to Abuja, NC, Cameroun, Equatorial Guinea, etc.

Let me reemphasize. SE/SS has more population and ready consumers than SW. SE/SS can easily distibute to Abuja, Eastern NC and NE easily cause of proximity than shipping from Lagos to these areas.

It is important Igbo industrialists lock down the economic zones and market of NE, Eastern NC, SS, Equatorial Guinea and Cameroun.

If we can successfully lock down this market, we can then scale up and compete to get other regions like NW, Western NC and even SW, then global markets.

Let's start with the market in this areas first (NE, Eastern NC, SS/SE, Equatorial Guinea and Cameroun).

It is important we build factories within SE/SS in order to stay close to these market and capture them. Proximally speaking, it makes more sense to build industries in SE/SS than building in Lagos/Ibadan. Most of the cities and states with higher Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) exist within our market region. LET'S BUILD INDUSTRIES CLOSE TO IT AND LOCK IT.

I know people will give me reasons like Seaport and the rest not functional in SS/sE that's why people set up there. Well i disagree.

We can still set up here and push thru our leaders that the available ports be functional, or even invest towards building and owning one. We need leaders in the SE to be more proactive in the next 4 years. it should not be about just building road and flyovers now. it is now an existential matter. They must push and float investment companies that will go round and see stuffs that hinders our productivity and see ways to invest in ensuring that stumbling block is removed. Akwa Ibom state is building a seaport, this investment front funded by all SE states can go and invest in it and secure the goodwill of the state and secure right of access instead of complaining and waiting for FG to wake up. FG is slow, waiting for them will make us waste precious time.

Thank God seaports are now in the legislative list. SE governors can work with states like Akwa Ibom (preferable to avoid Ijaw wahala) to get concession to build ports at their coastal line. This port must not even be funded from the state covers of SE. Funds can be sourced from investors while the front runners will be the investment company set up by SE Gov Forum. I know this is what SEREDEC was design to function as. I hope we get to the point where we start having the conversation. SW is doing it already, buying and owning OML thru their investment front (Odua investment group).

It is important we realize that this time around, the next four years should not be about roads and flyovers. State governors can not develop SE within the shortest possible time. They must work with private investors which we have in abundance, but the brick wall has been trust and lack of passion from government.

Only one gov in SE has started going this route, it may sound surprising but it's Abia. As it stands, Abia State via EEC has now taken over Enugu - PH expressway and Onitsha - Aba - Owerri expressway. They will toll it and make money from it in the coming years.

This is what I pray to start seeing in SE.

Dunno why you guys always camp here and be spitting rubbish in the name of freedom fighting

Igbos have distanced themselves from ipob and will never associate themselves with ipob again.

By now, you should have known that igbos don’t sympathize with terriosm in the name of freedom fighting, even if mnk regain his freedom, no one will take him serious again, as for ikpa and his fellow wawa miscreants , he’s fighting a loose battle because his fellow Ebonyians don’t take him serious except the criminal minded ones.

Please, stop disturbing us with ipob here, thank you
