He didn't donate anything..
Stop saying he donated, as if he is doing someone a favour..

He is using public funds to do his duty..

Anyway why don't they at least buy cars made in Nigeria??
This is foolish..

They should ban all foreign cars from being imported in Nigeria..

He's right if he says "donated", remember that the Nigerian police force is exclusively federal government responsibility. So anything the state government gives to the police force, it's merely to support them with what they already have. The welfare of the police is not his sole responsibility.

OmambalaErika, I must commend your effort on designing that site. I humbly plead with you and your engineering crew to work on hitches in the registration. I've been trying to register but to no avail. I want to dump nairaland for good after all this is the only thread that drags me to this nairaland. I'm tired of getting ban after ban on this site for no reason at all. For those of us who contributed from the earliest stage of this thread, I guess the name enochnochi will ring a bell. I had to change my registration due to several bans. It's time to leave nairaland, besides, we've patronized seun enough. Let's now patronize our brother. Ka Chineke mezie okwu!

BREAKING:

DPR suspends Ifeanyi Uba's capital oil,others from fuel import
www.leadership.ng/news/482602/dpr-suspends-capital-oil-others-petrol-import

That's just flimsy reason, in fact, it's bullshit! Those companies are not the only ones selling above approved pump price. Besides capital oil even sells lower than others whenever there's fuel crisis, it's on record . It's just a way of giving the dog a bad name in order to kill it. We all know who the primary target is.

I hope we are enjoying the CHANGE!

ChimaAdeoye:
you have been erroneously talking about "foundation" because you haven't seen nor understood the structure and you probably just want to argue regardless of being right or wrong.Okay, you win. There should be no trees or flowers in the median. Are you happy?
All over the world, the plant flowers and trees around flyovers of this design.

For those that want to understand the design of the flyover, there was not concrete foundation as don erroneously believe. This flyover's ramp is like the ramp of Onitsha upper Iweka flyover which were gradually elevated by compacting laterite until it got to the desired height.The only difference is that Onitsha ramp is curved in a semi-circle while the Awka ramp is straight along the road and gradually being elevated. Thus, just as you can plant a tree around upper Iweka flyover ramp and it wont damage the structure because it isn't built on a concrete foundation beneath, you can plant in this one. Well, I guess this too hard for some of us to understand.

See the flyover pictures here if you care to understand.

Bro, don't stress yourself too much to explain okay, we got your point all along and I personally buy the idea. Those exotic palm trees don't grow so big like our native palms that bear fruits. Besides, the bridge is designed in such a way that the ramp is connected to mother earth except where there is an underpass. I think even if they don't plant palms at the median, flowers will definitely be a must.

Oga investnow, anamcity, fk801...why didn't you tell us Obiano gave obijackson hospital a helicopter?

I just saw it on bellanaija..
http://www.bellanaija.com/2015/12/11/gov-willie-obiano-commissions-obijackson-childrens-hospital-with-emergency-helicopter-service-free-healthcare-more/

Did you even read the content to the end? You know sometimes headlines can be misleading. Is there anywhere in the content that states that the governor gave the Chopper to them? The answer is NO. I'm sure that Amaku hospital has no helicopter yet. So why will Obiano channel that kind of luxury to a private hospital first?

Just in case you don't know, this is page 500. Anambra erika!

Mizbaby:
U don't like that 'mannish' woman may be because u are not a man. Work on your self esteem and accept that women are your equals. Simple. We have someone who is doing a good job but we prefer 'siddon look' people because they have deep pockets. What a brain!

Ma'am, please don't take it too personal. Forgive his chauvinism. I personally like the so called "mannish woman" because she could actually do what some men couldn't do. Those in her constituency when she was in Rep know what I'm saying.

Just listened to abs news. I'm not comfortable with Obiano's statement about the Onitsha unrest. He blamed the peaceful protesters for allowing hoodlums to highjack the situation and caused mayhem but he didn't condemn the unprofessional action of the security personnel. Why won't he condemn the shooting to kill unarmed protesters? I guess those who were hit by stray bullets were also hoodlums? Are there still human right advocates in this country? No agency or NGO has come out to condemn the shooting to kill of unarmed civilians by blood-thirsty military. Why is everyone keeping quiet? Has everyone suddenly become dumb?

Does this means that whenever there is civil unrest in the country, the government should kill all those involved in the unrest? Why are people seeing these actions as if it's normal?

Is the governor afraid to speak the truth? With all due respect, I don't think he had shown sincerity in his statement.

My Final discusion with yo. Have a good night.

AtlanticBreeze:
You are a confused joker. The same best military troops in Africa boko haram are kidnapping and killing in Mass? The same ones running from Boko haram, The sane ones that couldn't defeat Niger Delta militants until the Amnesty Strategy. Guy, park one side. The coward Nigeria army are only the best against defenceless individuals.. I am never calling for war but I must educate you the civil war was not fought against Nigeria Military, it was Biafra against some world powers

You are so dummy. Your desperate quest for Biafra will not allow you reason with your brain. If you can compare terrorism with war, then there's no point having this conversation with you.

AfricanFinest:
Oga go and check the statistics...
Nigeria armies suffered the most casualty...
The war wasn't fair that's it...
Nigerian armies committed one of the most ever seen war crimes on earth.
Please get your facts right.

Be deceiving yourself. Even the war lord Ojukwu knew that the battle had been lost and fled the country.

AtlanticBreeze:
No apologies for the traffic, it was for serious business and not for jamboree. It's not worse than the anti igbo policies of the FG. There can never be any reason to justify the killing of unarmed protesters especially in a democratic setting.. Never... You are either with us or against us.

Oh please stop being naive. If this is the way you want to achieve Biafra, then believe me, it's already a lost battle because if you couldn't win when Nigerian military was just an infant in 1967, is it now that Nigeria has one of best military troops in Africa that you want to win?
What we need now is diplomacy, not physical aggression. Trust me, you wouldn't want to witness war. It's not a very good experience.

OGOg:
Guy man u have really said nothing
This ipob protest is getting out of hand . We are seriously courting for trouble. Why the destruction of a mosque and dangote trucks yet we lament that he has no investment in the east? Do we really want to convert the south east into a war theatre like boko haram did in the north east? Have we considered the economic implication of these protests? Have we considered the plight of millions of our brothers in the north ?
Most ipob protesters boast and beat the drums of war both online and offline yet have no preparation on ground, no alliance , just nothing.
Currently in Nigeria, we are engaged in a media war with ndi-ofe, politically isolated , and now we want to destroy all the gains we have made since 1970?

I quite agree with you. I've said it here some time ago that the military wouldn't open fire on them if they weren't violent because the same military patrolled with them during Tuesday's protest but on Wednesday, the agitators decided to go violent by obstructing vehicular movements on a federal highway. On the other hand, the military doesn't have to shoot to kill unarmed civilians even when they slightly go violent.

I've watched violent protests in the Middle East by civilians, yet the security operatives there never opened fire of life ammunition on the civilians. There's what is called teargas, rubber bullets for Christ sake. In Israel, there's an armoured police vehicle designed to sprinkle boiled water on stubborn crowds.

I advise the agitators to desist from any attempt to trigger civil war again because they will end up destroying their lives and the little infrastructures we have now. Perhaps they still don't know that burning of tyres on the roads is never the best way of expressing grievance, rather, the fire will end up destroying the road and tomorrow they'll be crying that the roads are bad. If another civil war breaks out, believe me, the UN will send military forces to help Nigeria to fight us because we'll be labelled "rebels" fighting the government.

I don't know who may be reading this, but I believe this message will go a long way. I strongly advise the agitators to protest with every manner of maturity and civility.

It is a shame that Nigeria does not know how to handle civil unrest. They claim to imitate the civilized nations but they still act like savages. The military is not trained to handle civil cases. They are trained for war. The police is in better position to handle civil unrest, especially unarmed civilians. The police has many means of dispersing crowds, not shooting to kill unarmed citizens. That is how it is done in civilized countries. The action of the security taskforce is highly condemnable.

However, the agitators went too far by obstructing vehicular movements on a federal highway thereby causing untold hardship to innocent people. I said this when it all started, no one is supposed to die because of protest. It's not even a war yet many have thrown away their lives. They promised they will not go against the law in the course of their agitations. Blocking the highway is totally unlawful.

We all know that the federal government has been acting unlawful lately but two wrongs don't make a right. I feel bitterness when I see my brothers being massacred in their numbers by the same security personals who are under oath to protect their lives.

I must advise my brothers to protest peacefully without contravening any law so that they shall not be found wanting when UN will decide to come in.

funkiebully:
This makes sense. First time I'm impressed with IDC construction company, their nkpor flyover was a mess. Too local.

Did IDC build any flyover at Nkpor? I think you are mistaking CCC for IDC.

backtosender:
Southeastern carnival coming up on the 28\30 of December is going to showcase the beauty of Igbo heritage and culture it will be very hot due to the way Christmas festival boom in Igbo land people from all corners from eastern region will be present on that day,plus millions of igbos from abroad and other parts of Nigeria that travel home for Christmas it will bea joyful celebration we will never forget.....

Wow!... I've been looking forward for this. I'm happy it's finally here. I hope they'll make it an annual carnival, rotating the host state among the five SE states. We have a very rich cultural heritage that can boost our tourism and generate revenue for government either directly or indirectly. More people, even foreigners will begin to storm SE every Christmas, you know what that means? If it's sustained, believe me, you wouldn't want to spend your Xmas elsewhere except in Igbo land.

drakura:
which road is this?

This is still ziks avenue towards finotel Agu Awka.

investnow2013:
This is Another bridge along same rd leading to Oil Rig area of Agulu Otu!

I hope they are designed with pedestrian walks?

liberty300:
Pic, eke Awka, awka, anambra

I think anambra state should create dual carriage ways in the state. This is the only dual carriage way in awka and it's a mess...at least should he should ban parking along that road to increase its durability

This is not the only dual carriage way in Awka. Judiciary road, secretariat road, Esther Obuakor road, government house road, the expressway and incoming greenwood road are all dual carriages, plus the one you posted which is Ziks Avenue. If you are not sure of something, please ask questions and stop uploading false information here.

AnamCity:
Approach network of roads to the 3 flyovers

Wow! Nice. That means I may drive on them by Christmas.

Updates from Infrastructural development going-on in Awka

Bro, please where in Awka is this?

Yeske2:
Swerve abeg, not when i know people i discuss with.
I won't reply you even if you quote me again.

Does it hurt? Eiyaaaaa! Sorry eeeeh! Don't you think it's about time you took your hatred to somewhere else?

osymerga:
A very beautiful hospital I must say.
Thumb up for Obijackson.
And for freeglobe,I only laugh when you say someone is crying because of Obiano.
See,I don't hate Obiano but I must tell that he is engaging in this fight at a very wrong time.
In politics, nobody is irrelevant. Underestimate any politician at your own peril. That Obj lost his booth does not mean he can't influence buhari. That Ngige is minister today doesn't mean Obi cannot tomorrow.
My people, this is politics. Whoever thought victor umeh and Uche ekwunife will reconcile ? Only yesterday, they were enemies.
Let us stop taking this quarrel too personal. Those we are fighting for may decide to be friends tomorrow. Then the shame will be on us.
Obiano and Obi should desist from this fight maka odi mma Ndi Anambra.
I was in Unizik during Ngige/Uba saga. The whole system of governance collapsed because of that fight.
We shouldn't encourage this fight unless we don't love our dear state. Because at the end it is we Ndi Anambra that will suffer for it. These men are made men,and they have nothing to loss.
Our effort should be calling both to order,and not inflaming it.
Shalom...

Nice thought, but you need to understand that Ngige/Uba saga was a different thing all together. Obiano is not answerable to any godfather. He is just playing nice with Obi because they were best of friends.

Yeske2:
A public debate would settle all of this but the likes of freeglobe onye Ghana would never want it.

Sorry to disappoint you, you cannot enjoy such privilege. But if you insist, he might grant you the honour of debating with his lawyers in court.

Yeske2:
Nonsense, what's the sense in paying for laptop double the price i can get it in the open market, reducing salaries across board without communicating with civil servants in the name of PAYE? Primary school teachers salaries weren't increased at any time, ask any of them in the state.

Bia nwoke m, you are beginning to bore me. Haven't you noticed?

alfred5:
My dear,, I look before I reply!!!!

I don't reply because my attention was called!!

Good night!!!

I repeat, if Obiano fails us we'll kick him out of office. Until then, your hatred for him now will only kill you.

alfred5:
They call him drukard because all of his occassion he only take Moet or Champagne!!! If you doubt I will give you pictures here!

Thanks for the explanation. Well, the so called drunkard has not failed Ndi Anambra. Until he fails, whatever they call him now is mmili a na-awu n'okwute.

patrick89:
I'm not here for any emotional game! I'm still saying that obiano should speak to the people of anambra state and not channels tv.
And he should also provide evidence that peter didn't save 78billion in cash and investments!

FreeGlobe, I can not engage you because I'm not chino11, but bear in mind that his is becoming more unpopular in the state, I was at stadium last Saturday, I jokingly said "obiano is working " they started calling him drunkard!
Mind you I still want him to continue, because APGA is filled with people with igbotic agenda!

Obiano is playing to the gallery, state is in financial crisis now, he just borrowed money to pay salary,

state assembly are yet to be paid

Anambra state university is becoming a den of corruption!
A Lot of people are complaining, I keep my ears down, so I'm telling you what is on ground!!!

I wonder where you are getting you own news from. So your own figure is 78 billion? Well, I don't blame those calling him drunkard because that's the only solace they have, they can never become governor in their life, and if they do, people will call them worse than drunkards. Everyone must not like the governor, no matter who you are or what you do, when you are on the mantle of leadership, people must call you names. Even if Jesus Christ Himself becomes the governor, some people would still call Him names. So what difference does it make?

Until the masses decide he is no longer competent, the few calling him names are just frustrated oppositions. Obiano is subject to impeachment if he fails Ndi Anambra. If impeachment doesn't work, we'll vote him out in the next election. So let's criticize constructively and keep sentiments out of our premise.

Enough of all these noise already, Obiano has given all the detailed breakdown concerning the issue. I heard it on ABS news commentary today. If you still hold contrary proof, please go to court and stop distracting the governor. Try and listen to ABS news commentary today and end this argument once and for all. And for those calling for a debate, you are wasting your time. Who are you to call a number one citizen of a state to a debate?

Igbonazy:
Blood thirsty Jihadists are scheming again to slaughter Igbos in the North. In case they means business, one of the safest things to do is to move down to Middle-belt esp where there are are high concentration of Middlebelt Christains except TIV dominated areas. Some TIVs are sworn enemies of ndiigbo for unknown reason.

A PRESS STATEMENT
RELEASED IN KADUNA BY
NORTHERN ANTI-CORRUPTION FRONT IN RESPONSE TO THE PRO-BIAFRA PROTEST; OUR
STANDS
15/11/15
It is no longer news that the
pro-biafra agitators have
stretched their demands beyond the limit of tolerance,
as they attack innocent
citizens of Northern
extraction for a no justifiable
reason. This has started in a
similar manner in which the Biafra war started in 1967, as
well as Boko haram in 2009.
We will not in any way hence
forth tolerate this form of
rascality coming from
criminals in the name of agitation for freedom.
In as much as we seek for a
one united Nigeria, we will
not regret the secession of
Igbos from Nigeria as long as
that is what they want. We will even encourage and
support them with strategies
to succeed if their agitation is
done lawfully without
harming innocent people from
other parts of the country. We do not wish for any form
of reprisal attack by anybody
from any part of the country
hence, Igbos living in other
parts of the country, most
especially in Northern Nigeria must come out in strong
terms and disassociate
themselves from the activities
of the so called Biafrans and
the attack on Northerners, if
not, their silence will be read to be a nod to the treacherous
activities of Nnamdi Kanu and
his co-travelers.
OUR RESOLUTION
Igbo communities in the
North should as matter of immediate effect rebuke and
disassociate themselves from
their kinsmen in south-east
and south-south calling for
war and attacking innocent
northerners residing there. We call on south-east and
south-south governors,
leadership of igbo traditional
council and Ohaneze ndi Igbo
to distant themselves from
the violent and unlawful activities of this so called
Biafrans, which is capable of
disrupting the peace and
stability of the whole
country.
Igbo owned media outfits are advised not to promote the
activities of these criminals in
the name of Biafra in any
guise, and should immediately
initiate programs that will
help deradicalize the ignorant followers of the fraudster
called Nnamdi Kalu.
We call on the federal
government to treat these
miscreants with the same
gloves Boko haram is treated in order to avoid escalation.
Our demands are to be met
within the next 7 days to
avoid further action.

I don't support the attack on innocent northern traders in the south, that's if it's true. It's an unforgivable sin to compare agitators who take to the streets with blood-sucking demons from pit of hell called boko haram. Since when has agitation become unlawful in a democratic government ? You want to know what's unlawful? Refusing to release a detainee whom court has granted bail, that's what is unlawful. There are protests going on allover the world and nobody has labelled them terrorists but a bunch of illiterate almajeris in the north dared to state otherwise with their empty brains. They must desist from comparing terrorists with protesters because the two have nothing in common, before amadioha will strike them one by one. Ndi ara... efuleefu... wonderers!

investnow2013:
You can not call Anambra State a baby simply because we are suggesting that it should build a Car Park which will not cost much money & which will create jobs & help to improve internally generated revenue!.I don't believe that a State like Anambra State should use most of his money in building roads without ventures that are much needed & will immediately improve the financial health of the state & it's citizens!.Do you know why some states are struggling?..... It is simply that they spend most of their budgets on building roads thereby neglecting high yielding & mass employing ventures which will cost unemployment in their respective state to barest minimum!.Building roads are good but most not take 90% of your budget simply because you want people to start praising you!.

I didn't call Anambra state a baby, I just gave an instance. Besides, Anambra, like most states in Nigeria is still growing or do you think we've gotten all the infrastructures we need? If you think that's what we need at the moment, so be it, I just don't want us putting the cart before the horse.

Cjrane2:
Few weeks after he handed over to Obiano, Obi himself confessed his N75 billion was not liquid cash but some investments he made for Anambra over his 8 years tenure.

i am hoping Peter Obi will retrace his steps quickly from this path of self destruction.

Obiano is still respecting him, that is why he has not exposed some serious corruption scandal under Obi to EFCC.

Buhari will be too glad to confiscate his Abuja mall and deal with him as another "GEJ era corrupt official"

I have always supported Peter Obi, but he is truly digging his own grave now.

You think corruption started and ended with GEJ administration? You and Buhari must be jokers.
