Yesterday, an oil refinery company in the South West city of Karlsruhe, said it's about to start building a 1,200 megawatts gas power plant near its headquarters.
Germany's electricity giant ENBW, is also investing in the project. Germans use waste to generate power; the recent buzz is their ability to harness heats from earth's deep pool thousands of metres below for electricity generation.

Peterwins: 23.9 Gigawatts = 23,900 Megawatts.

......and Nigeria struggles with 4,000 megawatts for 160 million people.

That figure is only power generated from solar installations. The total power generations from nuclear, hydro, coal , gas, solar, etc in Germany are over 800,000 Megawatts! What Nigeria generates cannot power Munich or Stuttgart.
Small Austria with about 8 million population has over 100,000 Megawatts!

Lordave: I bu onye Izuogu?

No, but i grew up in Enyimba city listening to such great music for decades.
I still have some collection of the group's albums. Discussing Ikeji festival during my high school days was fun. I do sing some of the chorus as well, especially the tracks on "Oderigugu" by title album.

ritux: I have a question to ask. What will happen to one who secretly kills any of those untouchable snakes and other animals that are forbidden to be killed in some places?

You will be forced to marry the chief priest of their village shrine. Sounds good?

BlackPikiN: The green snake is also revered in my maternal village in Abia state.

According to oral history, some medicine men from Okposi or some part of Ebonyi brought the female snake to their community

Aka nmam?(spellings though)

Dude, you can't spell Igbo words? Give yourself 2 strokes of cane

Another snake worshipping part of Igboland ( Eke Idemili comes to mind) are those Ohaozara villages.

In my Nkanu part of Igboland, green snakes are regarded dangerous and are said to sprint like Carl Lewis
We skin them though!

Odenigbo Aroli: I swear,my wife to be is more beautiful than Akudo but she (Akudo) is taller.

So you aren't married yet young boy?
Akudo looks like Bianca Onoh during her crown days in1985. Beautiful girls like her use to school at Queens Enugu in the 80s - Cream de la cream!!

Her all Igbo name is a plus as well!

PDP is neither conservative nor progressive; there aren't any differences between the party and Umaru Dikko/ Uba Ahmed/ Olushola Saraki's NPN. By the time those shameless hawks finish with Nigeria, Greece will be a paradise compared to the country left as Nigeria.
Under what motto does a political party without ideology operate? No wonder we have an over-bloated national assembly that feeds off the masses and no one sees anything wrong about it.

Without ideology, Nigeria's major political parties are more like narco-cartels. The only thing they haven't done is hanging ordinary Nigerians on top of bridges across the country.

Gun shots during political campaign aren't new in Nigeria politics.
Rewind it back to 1983 election campaigns, NPN was the face of gun-running goons . Politics in 9ja is not for angels- it's a knife-fight out there!

No governor needs to frequent Abuja before attracting Mr president's attention. Former governor of Imo State, Dede Sam Onunaka Mbakwe, did it better by crying before then president Shagari for more federal help for his beloved state. The nice governor got all he wanted and eventually earned the tag "Oliver Twist" governor.

Big grocery stores like Shoprite is part of modern lifestyle in developed world. Nigeria is developing and needs such shops. Nigeria's retail businesses survived good old Leventis, UAC and Kingsway stores for decades.

The real danger to Nigerian economy are the copycats in China who are killing our industries with fake and substandard goods. We are opening our doors to the Chinese at our own peril!

The million dollar question is, how can Africa recover it's stolen billions of dollars stashed in European banks? Europe's laws do not respect Europeans caught in corruption, whereas in Africa few countries get their corrupt officials imprisoned. Tax evasion alone can get one jailed for some years in Central Europe.
If we can reach Europe's level in fight against corruption, then Africa will be million times better than it is now. Diehard patriotism is required to fight corruption in Africa!

A new marshal plan initiated by Umuigbo will soon unleash the kind of development USA's one did for Germany after the second world war. Unto your tent, oh Israel!!

Armed robbers hanged in Benin city? That must be those that followed Lawrence Anini and Monday Osunbor's steps.

Enugu aghaghi mebi

Enugu agaghi emebi!

^ Why the Lagos "oni" stuffs? We say Enugu Akwulugo or Enugu bu ebe ano! Unu ana asukwa igbo?

Afam4eva: Nice looking sidewalk. I hope all the roads could have sidewalks.

All the newly built major street roads in Enugu have sidewalks.
You really need to get your butt to Enugu, enjoy some glass of pammy and bear witness to a landmark initiative. Cheers!

adaobi123: Lmao that was six years ago

But I see.......thanks.

You're welcome, Ada Mmadu!

joeluv: P & T quarters road link: zik ave bridge

Well covered drainage + sidewalk. Nobody is gonna jump into a stinking gutter here
Coal City for life!!

adaobi123: Secretariat ? What's that ?

The state administrative headquarters. Don't tell me you weren't eating okpa in Enugu a few years ago.

spyder880: The last pictures seem to come from the 'A' block of the complex, we have the B,C,D and I think E blocks covering a wide expanse of land. I think there are more than 500 workers with heavy equipment working around this site everyday.

Gov Chime should also finish the Conference Centre started by former Gov Nnamani. The unfinished edifice has remained an eyesore. Besides, Coal city deserves such a centre.

With the way things are going, my gut tells me the the new state secretariat will dwarf the federal one at Independence Layout built by Joe Nwankwu & Co. Ltd.

[quote author=IGBO-SON]Solid looking jobs by Chime there......as usual.

I wish we could find a way of getting more money for Enugu reconstruction. Until the coming of Chime, it hasn't witnessed any major works ever since the end of the civil war. Imagine what Enugu would turn into if he had an extra billioon dollars to work with.[/quote]If Gov Chime had billions of dollars to work with, he would turn Enugu to practical Southeast's Berlin. With the little he has, he has been able to show that a poor state in Nigeria can achieve a lot with prudent financial management.

Omo 9ja journalist, a 37 year old woman aren't a girl. Abi you drink Ogogoro?
Sad story though.
