Hopeless Uzodinma will not see this one. He will turn his eyes the other way.

Very disappointing hearing that name

A state dey suppose use for poultry farming and cultivating of cassava and maize.

Ironbull:
I wanted to reply wotowoto to cool your bum but I remember I had made up my mind ever to exchange words with any lunatics obidients.

So keep foaming from the mouth as long as you like ok.

If you like keep barking from now till eternity the Foolishness of being a Bat will never depart from you looking at your "Statements".

Ironbull:
Hello I'm not apc ok and I didn't voted for Tinubu neither obi but in as far Tinubu won and he is from the South I have no option than to support his govt in whatever way for the growth of my country and not the growth of any party or individual.

Stop insulting people, grow up pls grow up this is 2024. Obi is worst than Yeye Bello of Kogi during his time as governor of Anambra so pls keep to your lane ok.

You still a boy, even Yahaya Bello will be disappointed with this your statement. BAT boy

Ironbull:
Ok, Mr Obi are you the one that asked Tinubu to cut the 60% of his convoy before? So why now giving a command or suggesting what they should do?

Pls the Anambra money you invested on your private business and laundry to Panama we need answer to it or pls kindly stay calm for now.


When you are Anambra governor did you evet listened to anyone advise?

People like you will never learn, Foolishness is like a disease to this BAT supporters.

You people can't even pin any dirty on him Peter Obi.

Many will still go down as far as the state government are the one running it.

What a Waste

This budget is just for paying salaries and not more, ask formal governor Mr. Fayemi he will tell you what's up.

Yes people and goods going to different part of Nigeria made that express a busy one.
Have you heard of Panama Canal... It's just a bypass for ship to make their journey just like the Suez Canal.
They’re passage that made billions annually for their respective owners.
If the train fails on Lagos to Ibadan.
My brother I want you to agree with me that it will fail on any route within the country.

That's a big lie, what is the volume of trade between Lagos and Ibadan? How many businesses or transactions happens with this two state? Oga if you don't know Kano and Lagos have more and far volume of trade than Ibadan and lagos, please we are not talking about movement of civil servants here.

And don't use your failed Lagos-Ibadan train route to pass or conclude on other routes.

pol23:
Among People of the same spending capacity, population is the difference.
Unless you can come up with evidence or fact that the SE have more money than SW, or fact that Amount of business activity within SE is more than SW.
Don't fight needlessly.
Both SW and SE are poor with the exception of Lagos.
And Lagos was and will remain a federal Character.
Both Yoruba and Igbos can't successfully develop their region.

Oga stop this your quack analysis please. The truths is that South East and South South have more capacity to travel with comfort than South west and north. Please don't argue with this piece of information.

Make I ask, how many South west or Northerner s fit pay 30 - 35k from Abuja to Lagos with GIG or ABC transport?

seunmsg:
Nothing o. People just wake up, eat and go back to sleep. They don’t do anything productive. Only Enugu people are productive. Best of luck to Enugu.

If you say so

siant:
Why is Rivers not deciding to borrow less, while ebonyi is borrowing more?
Enugu is a big brother to Anambra. Take it or leave it

Am not from either of the two states but let say it as it is.

The two state have their individual differences and priorities as development is concerned, so they budget funds for what they believe is their priorities and also take some loans base on how to realise their plans. So it doesn't matter which one is higher or bigger, it all depends on what they want to achieve at a given period of time.

seunmsg:
Budgets are not statutory based on revenue. There is no statute in Nigeria that says your budget must be equal to your revenue.

Abia state total projected revenue for 2024 is about N150b and the state proposed a budget of around N550b. Basically, Abia will borrow over N400b to finance the budget deficit.

Ekiti can also come up with such budget but the governor seems prudent and averse to risk.

What economic activities are in Ekiti to compare to Enugu?

The return of investment ratios between the two states is another thing, and will favour Enugu state far more than Ekiti state.

So taking loan to finance the budget most especially the infrastructure will favour Enugu than Ekiti if the money is channelled into projects it was taken for.

All I will say is God will be your strength as you have started taking Abia State from stagnation to prosperity.

Our trust is in you, carry on.

siant:
And Anambra people will be bragging as if their state is the most developed in the south east. Despite that Enugu used to be the capital of the defunct eastern region, and Anambra state was created from Enugu, yet they will be under rating the state.
Meanwhile Enugu state is richer and can generate more revenue than Anambra. While Anambra is presenting 410 billion, Enugu is presenting over 500 billion budgets.

Is it that you guys are uninformed or just trying to catch fun? The ability to source for more fund is what is playing out between the two states.

So Anambra decided to borrow less while Enugu is borrowing more.

Good one, I support your initiative/plans towards developing Enugu State.

Development is all we need in South East.

IPOB cannibals with nzougbu nzougbu mentality.
I am not surprised they are not capable of being logical instead they will be foaming at the mouth.

1. Did the Pandora criminal called Obi deposited a copy of his worthless 3rd class degree with INEC?
2. Did the monumental and pathological liar called Obi not fill his INEC forms with only his WAEC?
3. Why has the criminal BIGOTED "yes daddy" liar paid you a paltry N30K to lie on his behalf as if Nigerians didn't know Obi is extremely dull that he spent over a decade to graduate with a 3rd class in a lowly rated course of sociology.
4. That the Agulu criminal liar is too ashamed of showing his worthless 3rd class degree to INEC and to the whole Nigeria doesn't mean others have never seen it.
5. IPOB cannibals say he has 2nd class, let him come and show it na if it is not one of his numerous lies
6. As for your amadooha, we northerners destroyed that silly thing when we bombed the SE and took IPOB cannibals in chains when they made the PH00LEESH mistake of asking for BIAFLA.

It is nearly impossible to find an intelligent IPOB cannibal as DIS1 is too DAFT to even understand what is being discussed. Instead of facing the subject matter, he became emotional and insultive.

Ewu Gambia, if you are not satisfied with Obi's Certificate in public space, then do the needful, you can approach UNN like a man with balls between his legs and request for it. At least you don't need a Visa. Fool

complexstuffs:
Why is Peter Obi hiding his own BSc..

Peter Obi only submitted his WAEC result and hide his 3rd class BSc that he got after 10 years in the university in a lowly rated course

How you take know say him get 3rd class and at the same time hiding it?

It's still going on in the SW. The town unions and clubs still exist. Community development never stops.

For which community for south west are you talking about?

Hope is not the one we pass through when traveling from Abuja to Lagos?

I mean those communities in Ekiti, Ondo and Osun .....

The war never start our gallant men don dey fall.

Festus Keyamo, immediate past Minister of State for Labour and Employment, on Saturday, sent a message to Nigerians amid the hardship they are facing.

Keyamo urged Nigerians to endure the pains of the steps President Bola Tinubu is taking to reposition Nigeria.

He said Tinubu was repositioning Nigeria into a better, healthy, and vibrant economy.

Tweeting, Keyamo wrote:

FUNDAMENTAL ACHIEVEMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF ANAMBRA STATE (PARTIAL LISTING)

1. Anambra was the first State to commence Sub-Sovereign Wealth savings, the first of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa. At a time many other Governors were leaving huge debts, I left the equivalent of $500 million Dollars in investment as well as local and foreign currency, including $156 million in Dollar-denominated bonds.

2. For the first time in the history of Anambra State, Ambassadors and High Commissioners of notable countries such as United States, Britain, Russia, European Union, South Africa, Belgium, Israel, the Netherlands, Canada, among others, visited the State. Before my tenure, Anambra was practically a pariah state blacklisted by the Diplomatic Corps and international development partners.

3. Development partners such as UNDP, UNICEF, the World Bank, DFID, the European Union etc., which hitherto were not in Anambra State started working with the State. Anambra was consistently adjudged one of the best states in development partnership and commitment to reforms for good governance.

4. He was recognised as Best Governor by the Millennium Development Goals Office (OSSAP-MDGs) and the UNDP in the implementation of their programmes in Nigeria.

5. The Nigerian Debt Management Office (DMO) rated Anambra as the least indebted state in Nigeria. In spite of visible and measurable achievements recorded in various sectors, the State under him did not borrow or raise bonds for her various projects.

6. The Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria rated Anambra State as the most financially stable state in the country.

7. The State's ground-breaking return of schools to their original owners - Voluntary Agencies (Churches) on 1st January 2009, and subsequent partnership with the Agencies in Education, saw the State move from 24th position out of 36 States to Number One in National Examination Council (NECO) and West African Examination Council (WAEC) examinations for three consecutive years. This made the World Bank to commission a study, led by the renowned Prof. Paul Collier of Oxford University, on this revolutionary partnership and phenomenal achievement.

8. The State also entered into strategic partnership with the Churches in the Health sector. This symbiotic relationship resulted in a tremendous boost to health care because of the services offered by health institutions owned by Voluntary Agencies, while the State restored grants to the agencies and made available to them more than 50 million Dollars in various types of support.

10. Through partnership with the Church in the Health sector, his Government funded the transformation of -:

a: Iyienu Hospital, Ogidi;
b: Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Ihiala;
c: St Charles Borromeo Hospital, Onitsha;
d: Holy Rosary Hospital, Waterside, Onitsha; and
e: St. Joseph Hospital, Adazi-Nnukwu.
His Government also built the Joseph Nwilo Heart Centre in St. Joseph, Adazi-Nnukwu, where heart operations are now being performed.

11. His Government won the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (1 Million dollars) as the best-performing state in immunisation in the South-East. With complementary funding from our Government, they used the money to build 10 Maternal and Child Care Centres across the State, particularly in rural communities, in partnership with the Churches.

12. The State was the first to procure and distribute more than 30,000 computers to secondary schools, including 22,500 from HP. The Managing Director for Personal Systems Group HP Inc, Mr. FabriceCampoy described the deployment as the biggest of such projects in the Middle-East and Africa.

13. Anambra State Government provided Microsoft Academies to more than 500 secondary schools, which the Head of Microsoft in Nigeria (Mr. Ken Span) described as the biggest such deployment in Africa so far.

14. The State provided Internet access to more than 500 secondary schools, which the CEO of Galaxy Backbone (Mr. Gerald Ilukwe) characterized as incomparable to any in the country.

15. More than 700 buses were provided to secondary schools in the State by our Government.

16. Boreholes were provided in schools all over the State.

17. Numerous classrooms were built in all the 177 communities of the State.

18 As part of the efforts to turn around the economy of the State, a number of companies were attracted to build their facilities in the Anambra State. A case in point is SABMiller, the 2nd largest brewery in the world, which built their first Green Field facility in the State, which is today one of the most successful facilities they operate globally.

19. A number of other companies followed the SABMiller initiative and were all supported and encouraged under our Government; a good example is INNOSON Motor Manufacturing Company, from which our government bought more than 1,000 vehicles.

20. Anambra State for the first time started close collaboration with recognized government security agencies (the Police, Army, Navy, Department of State Security, Civil Defence, among others), offering them various types of support including provision of more than 500 security vehicles. The improvement in security was phenomenal, such that the former IG of Police (Abubakar Mohammed) lauded Anambra State for not witnessing any bank robbery in my last three years in office.

21. To further enhance security, Anambra State provided at least one security vehicle to each of all the 177 communities in the State as well as various organizations such as markets and Churches.

22. His Administration conceived and built, from scratch, the first state-owned Teaching Hospital, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu teaching Hospital, Awka.

23. His Government commenced the planned development of the Igbariam Campus of the ChukwuemekaOdumegwu-Ojukwu University, including the fencing, construction of internal roads, electrification, construction of the Faculty of Law, Auditorium, Administrative Block, Faculty of Agriculture, Management Building, among others).

24. His Government attracted the World Bank support on erosion - National Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP) - to Anambra State.

25. His Government was the first to do Poverty Mapping in Nigeria, as a guide for the effective implementation of our poverty-alleviation strategies.

26 His Government, for the first time, undertook the aerial mapping of Awka as well as the production of Structure Plans for Awka Capital Territory, Onitsha and Nnewi.

27. During his tenure and with his Government's support, Anambra State became an oil producing State.

28. He built the first Secretariat Complex to house State Government Ministries that were hitherto scattered around the State.

29. His government commenced the development of the 'Three Arms Zone' comprising Government House/Governor’s Lodge, Legislative Building/Speakers Residence, and Judiciary Building with Chief Judge’s Residence.

30. By the end of his tenure in 2014, more than twelve (12) health institutions, including two hospitals, had secured accreditation; when we took off in 2006, no health institution in Anambra State was duly accredited.

31. Anambra State was the first to undergo national peer review, which scrutinised State Governments for good governance, through the State Peer Review Mechanism (SPRM), an initiative of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum in collaboration with the DFID…
