Owerriboi:
Now let's do it. Few roads Ikpeazu did have already gone bad, do you wanna see folks road now? What about Port Harcourt road? Total mess just like everywhere in Aba.

Ikpeazu wasted 8yrs doing one flyover and one road, but you aren't ashamed. And you had the guts to compare him with a man that did flyovers, bridges, hospitals, schools,. airport, roads, etc

Oh you don't want me to show Awka Millennium city, mumu, is it not Obiano inputs?

Now look at this road, show us one road in the whole of Abia state that comes close. This is Awka

For your info, Ikpeazu has recovered 150 roads in ABia State

Was it Obiano that constructed Zik Avenue or you are just being ignorant?

Owerriboi:
Dirty aba pig good that you have time today.

Oh you are even asking of Obiano's projects. Lemme list them for with pictures.

1. Obiano completed Onitsha mall and Agulu lake resort.

2..Obiano completed Awka international convention centre
3. Obiano completed Anambra international airport.
4. Obiano completed Awka city stadium.

5. Obiano completed almost 10km Anambra international airport.

6. Obiano completed Awka flyovers

5. Obiano built schools, hospitals, bridges, roads, etc.

Now may I ask you, tell us one reasonable project that can match of this in Abia since 1999?

You should be hiding because Abia is the worst and most backward state in Nigeria. Just do ordinary poll on nairaland now and you will be shocked at the results.

Stupid Aba pig, you called a worldclass international airport names? Meanwhile abia doesn't even have a decent motorpark not to talk of airport.

The malls and resort was already started and paid off by Obi

The only thing worthy of mention is the Airport and ICC. The stadia is not something you should even bring to a debate. it's mediocre. Ikpeazu remodelled Enyimba Stadium and it's x10 better than Obiano's stadium.

The airport road is 5 KM not 10 KM

Owerriboi:
NwekereNdoki, this is the worldclass Anambra international airport. This is a state you wanna compare to your useless worthless shithole abia state. Because of envy and bitterness you had the guts to spew nonsense

THis is what you call worldclass?? Have u no shame??

THat's the most awful airport terminal in SS/SE.

If Ikpeazu built anything like that I will drag him

What I like that's outstanding about the airport is the runway and the control tower. It was done properly. But don't call the terminal world class.

I know u sha, u are clueless of what good governance is. You think you are in competition with anyone.

Guy u are on your own. Other states are doing their thing do your thing and stop this nonsense dick measuring.

Anambra is more developed than Abia, facts. But Ikpeazu was a better governor than Obiano. FACT

Owerriboi:
Shut up your dirty smelling aba mouth there. How dare you put a progressive Anambra on the same sentence with the cursed backward shithole abia state? Are you normal?

Abia is the worst and most backward state in Nigeria. While umuahia is a glorified village, Aba on the other hand is a cesspit of dilapidated roads and filthy environment.

Anambra has by far better roads both urban and rural than your worthless shithole abia state. Abia is by far the worst and most backward state in Nigeria and has been like that since 1999.

Since 1999, Abia is yet to have any reasonable infrastructure. Do you have flyovers, except the nonsense one Ikpeazu took almost eight years to build. Do you have airport? Do you have decent ICC?



Ordinary salaries your useless incompetent ugly governor is yet to pay, but you have mouth to talk.

Abia is a definition of a failed state.

Make I hear pim from you aba p1g here

I have your time now..

Oya come and tell me the road Obiano built that's outstanding.

Ikpeazu is always dragged as the worst leader in SE while in reality he has outperformed Obiano.

Soludo will do well.

But Obiano is a failure all round.

He can't square up Ikpeazu.

All the project Obiano use to boast are projects started by Obi and handed over to him

Remove
- Onitsha Mall
- Remove SAB Miller
- Remove Agulu Lake Resort

Mentions one outstanding thing Obiano did.

If you mention ICC, mention the mini stadia (poorly built and designed), mention airport (poorly and mediocrely designed) what else?

Ikpeazu is not even concerned about the negateive stereotype the media do to him.

He is focused on his job and will leave office strong.

The following projects will make Abia and Aba celebrate him when commenced/completed

- PH Road
- Ariaria remodelling
- Enugu -PH expressway.

He is already loved in Abia (Aba precisely), he will only be loved more.

Nobody that stayed in ABa can say one road in Aba was good from end to end.

Ikpeazu came into Aba when Aba was decaying and rottening.

He brought in better roads, introduced street lights

Pics 1 and 2: Aba Road, Umuahia, more than 5km.

pics 3: Okike Lane, Aba

Pics 4: 13 KM road constructed by Ikpeazu in Obingwa.

The airport road is 5.1Km

Ikpeazu has did Obikabia-Umukalika-Umueñe, it is a 36km road. But unfortunately, he does not pay press to stream it live on tv.

I am not here to launder Ikpeazu's image. But He has done well more than Obiano and that's a fact.

Owerriboi:

Make I hear pim from you aba p1g here

No long talks.

Mention more than 1 road, up to this standard, constructed by Obianor or Soludo.

All these roads are different roads. COnstructed by Ikpeazu himself from start to finish. Dual Carriage, underground drainage and pedestrialn walkway.

I will wait.

Don't come here and post millinium city road oh

Aside the Aiport road that Obiano constructed (which has open gutters). No other roads constructed by Obiano or Soludo comes close to the one constructed bu Ikpeazu. Fact

MXrep:
Aba is more strategically located than Lagos

Fact

ariesbull:
this thread has shown abia is a backward state

Go to Anambra state thread and see the thread up to hundreds of pages


No wonder Anambra leads

But in reality ABia has done well in the past 8 years than Anambra.

Abia simply do not have people that's interested in promoting new stuffs online does not mean Anambra hs done better.

Anambra is trying to do urban renewal now, but Abia has been doing that for the past 7 years and the roads are mor quality that what you people do in Anambra.

Stop feeling as if you have arrived, all Igbo land is experiencing slow progress. The only outstanding of them all is Ebonyi State.

Now will you say Ebonyi State has not done better in the last 8 years because their thread is scanty??

christejames:
It's obvious you don't know Edeoga and you are just btandishing sentiments here... Go and research about him and also try and know why he was pushed to succeed Gburugburu in PDP before the power that be in PDP termed him 'nwa Nsukka' just to deny him the ticket.




Frank is a nice man no doubt, but he was part of the Ebeano dynasty that brought pains to the state in the early 2000, he is also from Nkanu which has produced the governor before; if we are talking about fairness.



Just yesterday, the peaceful Enugu we are used to is turning into a mirage because of this Ebeano boys. See how they attacked a Catholic church in Nsukka before the priest was just educating the people on how to vote.

Oga I have researched all the candidates and I find Frank to be a better governor. Well kitted and well versed with experienced.

Edoga and Frank are not equal in any way

Just mention the outstanding thing Edoga has done and spare us this long talks.
Remember, people said this about Ugwuanyi too till u all experienced his mediocre leadership first hand

NwekereNdoki:
Ikpeazu weldone

The guy in the pics was the photographer

Oya lets critisize, me I don't like the paint colour.

They shhould have tried to use aluco bond or granite instead of paint

Ikpeazu weldone

The guy in the pics was the photographer

Update on Ariaria Remodelling

okeysoninv:
ugwuanyi is Enugu governor , without his approval nothing can be establish

Lies. CAC gives approval for establishment of companies and companies allied matters.

What Ugwuanyi can only do is sign CoO.

I am sure Bart had one already

oilykid:
Frank nweke is also part of ebeano dynasty in case you have forgotten. He is chimaroke's boy too. For me mbah is better, he a business man who have lot's of experiences and expertise in business. He owns a billion dollars firm even though I heard that he is fronting it for chiboy tho.

That's a big lie.

If he was chimaroke boy he would not have managed himself outside Chimarokes help.

But u can't say same of Mbah.

christejames:
How did you know Edeoga is not a progressive man?


Edeoga that was once a LG Chairman at a young age and due to his zeal was appointed to work for the president then?



Yes, Gburugburu made him Commissioner of Environment which the PDP is harping on that he neglected Enugu to become dirty during his reign but what they will not tell is that during his reign they took away ESWAMA from the Ministry of Environment to be under the control of the governor or government itself.

One of his achievements as a commissioner is the digitalization of the Land Reform in Enugu and lots more.

Go and read about Edeoga...

We want a breathe of fresh air in Enugu.

Mention one outstanding thing he has done outside governance.

I know Frank Nweke.

Outside governance he has outstanding cv.

If you have heard of Nzuko Lab, that's Frank Nweke's product. This is the kind of man i trust and follow. Not mediocre politicians

Digitron:
Forget Frank, he cant win.

He got his strategy wrong.

it is a clear battle between Mbah and Edeoga.

it is not about who can win or who can not win.

It is about who can do better??

If i was voting in Enugu I will vote frank and damn the consequence

Kelvin3476:
I never knew that this kind of thread exists

YOu are welcome my brother.

For a greater Igboland

Broveens42:
3 things to clarify/support in your submission..
The truth
The speculative
and the Reality

The truth is that he may have been sympathetic with ipob on the basis of global perception of the group as freedom fighters.

The speculative is when you blame ipob for bringing destruction in imo state and not SARS, infighting between two brothers from orlu etc ,

The reality is that PDP is not an Igbo party..

Please let's speak up for development of Igbo land, imo state in particular

myself I was an IPOB sympathizer. But I left the camp when I noticed they were not making any progress but was hell bent on turning SE upside down with violence.

IPOB is responsible for Violence in SE directly or indirectly. That is the fact we must not shy away from.

Igbos says that when you bring ant infested woods into your house........ you know the rest.

IPOB encouraged violence in SE, and the ripple effect is that it has now gone beyond their control and management. Criminal elements now masquerade as ESN to cause mayhem, and now we can't differentiate which is IPOB ESN or criminals.

okeysoninv:
ist good news in 8 years of ugwuanyi's regime

THis has nothing to do with Ugwuanyi

Digitron:
Frank Nweke has no chance. In fact, he is also helping to make Edeoga win because he has a broad acceptance in Enugu Urban which should be the base of Peter Mbah.

With Edeoga's deputy from Oji River and controlling a good section of the greater Awgu Axis and Edeoga eating deep into Nsukka axis, Edeoga appears to be leading.

Peter Mbah has a bad campaign team with zero strategy.

If Enugu people wants progress, they better vote Frank Nweke. Edogah is not a progressive person and has nsver been outstanding ina nything he does.

Prove me wrong.

Frank Nweke has the qualities of a good governor.

Voting Peter Mbah is giving Chimaroke another 8 year term and Enugu people know this.

oilykid:
Which part of Enugu please and any news on the big factory along Enugu orji river express road

Prof Bart Nnaji mentioned it on the SEREDEC annual program they did December last year that he has gotten approval from FG to build it. and that he will start.

I don't know about the Oji river own

Robotics Institute and Robot manufacturing center coming up in Enugu.

COurtsey: Barth Nnaji

Govt60:
Ipob criminals feeling funky, una days are numbered, e go shock una no worries including those of you efulefus overseas idiot

That guy na hardcore IPOB brainwashed minion.

I don dey ignore am self.

He will leave to call out IPOB for bringing destruction into Imo and wants to blame Uzodimma.

As long as Uzodimma was sworn in by the CJ, he remains the governor of Imo state. Cry from now till tommorow it changes nothing. If PDP were innocent they would've reclaimed their sit. But no, they weren't.

PDP is not Igbo party, if APC sits there and work nwanne it is fine.

Election will come, Ihedioha should test his strenght again. THAT'S ALL

Nchenches:
You are TYPICAL of one of those gunmen armed since the beginning of Uzodinma government to deny peaceful environment in Orlu area.
What has IPOB got to do with Orlu? Orlu is neither the capital of Biafra, nor the headquarters of IPOB.

Unlike Owerri where you can find up to, or more than, 5 square kilometres of uninhabited bushes up to the boundary with Rivers State, you can't find a 500 square metres of uninhabited bush anywhere in Orlu area, all the way to the boundary with Anambra state. So where would your so-called IPOB hide in this Orlu area?
Above all, if a state governor who is the Chief Security officer of the state is interested in stopping your gunmen in Orlu area, he should have done it a long time ago.
Why would anyone from Orlu declare and sustain hostility against Hope Uzodinma shortly after he was announced governor of Imo state, till now? For what purpose?
If you are not one of those gunmen, you reason from your anus.

That's the bitter truth my friend. No development when there is no peace

We know that security in Nigeria is overstretched yet we still join people to support things that causes insecurity. What Orlu is facing now is the reperccursion. It's nobody;s fault but Orlu people's fault and Igbos fault in general. Nigerian army will try to stop it, but Orlu people must come back to their senses, Ebubegu, NPF and NA is not your enemy.

That's the bitter truth

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 concurrent 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.

Stop posting nonsense. Abia is the worst and most backward state in Nigeria. Abia has the worst roads in Nigeria, how can you stupidly say that the same shithole backward abia state has taken over major highway like Onitsha- Owerri road. Are you insane?

They should plant trees na... Its an amusement park not a factory

Nchenches:
Hmmm.
Ohaji/Egbema can be built to become a city. Paris was once rural villages.
Owerri was once the 5 villages. Much of the oil earnings from your Ohaji/Egbema were used to build Owerri to become what you call a city. Stop exposing your...

Please remind me, how much is Imo state Annual IGR and ALlocation again?? in dollar i mean,

Nchenches:
Delta State's oil producing areas Towering headquarters is in Warri, 25 Warri Sapele Rd, Warri GRA 332104, Warri, Delta, Nigeria;
It's built in Warri for the oil producing areas of Delta state. It's not in Asaba, the administrative HQ of Delta state. Asaba area, like Owerri area, does not produce Oil.
Owerri and the poorly educated governors of Imo state combined to fcuck your Ohaji/Egbema/Oguta oil producing area, front and back, inside out and outside in. But ignorance is a bliss for you.

Is Warri not a city?? Will you compare Warri and Egbema? Una dey think?

Nchenches:
When they built the huge ISOPADEC headquarters in Owerri, instead of in Ohaji/Egbema/Oguta oil producing areas, you were asleep in Ohaji/Egbema.

In 47 years since Owerri was made capital of Imo state, they have used the 13% derivation from oil to develop only Owerri. Your Ohaji/Egbema remain ultra rural.
Now you develop strength because I talk about Uzodinma's abandonment of all urban infrastructures in the 2nd largest urban city of Imo state - Orlu- to rot, you are telling me of Ohaji/Egbema, a place left ultra rural through siphoning of its oil money by IMSG to development of only Owerri.
I don't have time replying to a midget. You don't know where your problems began.

Imo state is the administrative HQ. THere is no better place to site ASOPADEC than the admin HQ
