All for Ihedioha, that man is powerful.

kayfra:
It matters especially when 99% of you folks don't know your history and it also matters since it's the Igalas of Anambra and Enugu still dominating Igbos even though they've embraced the same identity

Lets even pretend that the gibberish you fabricated is even true, yet you backward Igala ppl don't have a state of your own.
You ppl have been repeatedly trounced and defeated politically by the Ebira people in all indices with regards Kogi State.
You people are now playing second fiddle to a state you people once claimed you dominate , shame.
Don't bring the great Igbo people into your stupidity, you people sit in your little huts lazying about in your uncivilized scanty fetish villages while your wifes are bread winners.
Don't go typing rubbish because you are priviledged amongst your backward ppl to own a phone and access to the internet.
Get more education, lazy youth.

creolehunt:
Lol. Uzodimma just hit the final nail on Ihediojas coffin. Politics in Nigeria is something else.

You think INEC does not have authentic results transmitted to its server, how does bombing INEC office amount to loss of data and authentic results sheets of the said election.
Oh you think INEC will just allow such sensitive documents to remain in local government offices lol!
Uzodinma just shot himself in the foot, he has shown how desperate and an illiterate he really is.
Ihedioha and INEC have their authentic results waiting for the March 9th Review of the Supreme Court Judgement, most of you who thought it was impossible can now see say power pass power and man pass man.
Men dey!!!!

Rochas the future Oni Kuje of Kuje prisons.
A title he will slug out with Orji Kalu defeating him in a landslide.
All hail the iberiberism master, all hail Oni Kuje-elect

mamaafrik:
can we now say Anamco is owned by Nigerians.

Anammco facility was bought by ABC Transport PLC... which if fully owned by the Chairman.

Shacman Trucks is 95% owned by ABC Transport PLC in partnership with its chineese investors.

Yes they are Nigerian entities and are Nigerian companies...

Innoson still has chinese expats in his manufacturing plant training Nigerians, it doesn't mean it is not a Nigerian company.

Staro:
Dangote co-owns ANAMMCO.

Nothing extraordinary here.

The man has been heavily patronising the company for a while

Lies.... Anammco was bought over and owned by the owner of ABC Transport Plc.

The Anamco assembly plant is being used to Assemble Shacman trucks owned by Chairman of ABC Transport Plc.

True sha.

Hello house, good morning.

I have a real concern and I want to know what is permissible from mature and discerning individuals in the house.

Myself and my siblings were raised (from when I was about 8 years old) single handedly by my mum. Even all the 7 years that my father lived with us, my mum chiefly ran the home... she was the one who paid rent and school fees and ensured quality feeding. Father was gainfully employed at the time, but he just lacked a sense of responsibility for family. He finally absconded at about the time I was 8 because he lost his job, and never looked back... he was never involved in our finances or welfare. In all those years, he visited a few times, but that was all. My mum passed on a few years ago and her brother, my uncle, assumed FULL responsibility for my siblings and I. My paternal uncles never lent a helping hand.

Now I'm in my 20s, done with schooling, working currently, and would be getting married soon. I want to know what is permissible. I'm from a minority tribe in Edo State, so I'm not Bini or Esan. My maternal family are Okpe (Urhobos). Left to me, I don't want my father collecting my bride price or walking me down the aisle. He now lives in squalor in the village. I don't want to go to the village to do my traditional wedding if I can help it.

Two years ago when I first had plans of getting married, my maternal uncle who's responsible for us had mentioned that I shouldn't take any man to my dad. My maternal family is angry with him, for what he did to my mum and us. I would love to respect my Uncle's wishes because I feel he has a say, and to show my appreciation for all he's done.

Has it ever happened that a girl's maternal family receives her bride price? Is it a taboo? If that's against tradition, is it possible to choose another location other than the village, where my dad and his kinsmen can perform the traditional rites?

Also, on my church wedding day, can my Uncle walk me down the aisle?

N:B I don't hold any grudges against father. I've been the only one amongst all my siblings who's tried to keep in touch with him. I was the one who personally went to seek him out to know where he lives... and to know my village. Whenever I can afford to, I send him money.

Still, I don't feel he deserves to give my hand in marriage. He's never been a dad, in the true sense of the word. Something happened not so long ago, and he was threatening to curse my brothers... for not looking after him. He acts really entitled.

Candid advice, please. Thank you.

Any reasonable potential inlaw about to marry you will not do anything unless they meet your father.

Forget whatever advices you are getting from your uncle.

Imo State Governor, Chief Emeka Ihedioha has said the state government applied to join the Open Government Partnership (OGP) as one of the ways of entrenching transparency in public service.
Ihedioha, gave the explanation while receiving a delegation of the British High Commission to Nigeria recently, listed other governance reforms initiatives introduced by his administration to mainstream accountability in governance.
Represented by the Deputy Governor, Engr. Gerald Irona, the Governor described Imo as an investment-friendly state, reiterating the commitment of his administration to partner international organizations in ensuring good governance in the state.
“In Imo State, we are highly enterprising people investor-friendly.
We have very huge potentials in tourism, agriculture and education.
We inherited a state with decayed infrastructure and poor morale of citizens, occasioned by poor governance.
Pensioners were owed for over eighty months and the Governor has now started paying.
Governor Emeka Ihedioha has taken steps towards restoring public confidence in governance, with rule of law as a cardinal principle.
“We met an Internally Generated Revenue- IGR base of N258 million monthly.
His Excellency introduced reforms to entrench transparency and accountability in governance.
Through Order 005, the Treasury Single Account -TSA was introduced and as a result, so many leakages in revenue have been blocked. Last month, we generated over N800m, as against N258m that we inherited as IGR.”
“We are implementing the IPPC accounting standards. We have applied to join the Open Government Partnership-OGP, as one of our transparency initiatives.
We are opening up the government for citizens’ scrutiny and participation.
We have opened an Efficiency Unit in the Ministry of Finance, with a view to reducing the cost of governance.
We are investment-friendly and the Governor has set up a desk for ease of doing business in the state.
We seek investments in the areas of Power, Agriculture and Tourism. Imo State is willing and ready to partner with the DFID”, he stated.
Earlier in her presentation, British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Catriona Laing said they were in the state to identify areas of possible support through the Department for International Development.
“We are in your state to get a better understanding of what is on the ground, with a view to knowing how we can support governance in Imo State. We have programmes that will be beneficial to you.
We also wish to understand the challenges you are facing in the state.”

Rochas, the Nigerian king of con men is about to scam people again using a university fully run, owned and taken over by the Imo State government.
Again, we warn people not to fall for his gimmicks in order to get public sympathy for a failed presidential ambition that is already dead on arrival.
The clown has been looking for ways to be on the news again after a battered, corrupt filled, filty image.

Bigflamie:
This Ihedioha seems to be sleeping in my opinion.

I thought by now Imo state would've become a construction site.

Road constructions during heavy rains are not advisable.
Such an adventure would result to wastage and overshooting of initial budgets for such projects.
That notwithstanding, the governor has quickly responded to critics whom want the governor to perform magic and turn the State into a Dubai in just 6 months amidst heavy rain showers.
The road rehabilitation will go on at a much slower pace, making the roads motorable for commuters up until the rain stops for massive reconstruction.

Ihedioha Takes Bold Steps

–Approves Reconstruction, Rehabilitation and Maintenance of Critical Roads in Imo

The government of Imo State led by His Excellency, Hon Emeka Ihedioha, has responded quickly to public outcry by addressing the dilapidated and decayed road infrastructure inherited from the past Okorocha’s administration in Imo state.

At today's State Executive Council meeting, October 30th, 2019, the governor took further bold steps to approve for rehabilitation, Reconstruction and maintenance, Five ( 5 ) critical Imo gateways cutting across Okigwe, Owerri and Orlu Zones.

To reduce road hazards faced by Imo citizens and residents, and bring easy movement to the people, the following roads has been approved for reconstruction, rehabilitation and maintenance.

1. Maintenance of the failed section of the 52 km Owerri-Egbu-Mbaise-Obowo Road.

2. Maintenance of failed section of Owerri- Njaba- Orlu 32km road.

3. Maintenance of failed section of Owerri-Amaraku-Anara--Onuimo-Umunna-Okigwe 51 km road.

4. Reconstruction / Rehabilitation of Aboh-Itu Ezinihitte Mbaise 7.1 km road.

5. Reconstruction of Achingali-Onicha-Udo na Obizi 14 km road.

The works will involve scarification, rebuilding of the sub-base, provision of stone base, overlay with asphalt concrete, rebuilding of corresponding shoulders, desilting of blocked drainages, construction of new drainages, and replacement of median kerbs where necessary. etc.

plaindealer:
This news and the fake story exist only under the green leprechaun hat the joker governor's head.

Instead of working and looking for true and real investments, this one is talking about A and B is set to do this and that, the rubbish is so vague and meaningless.

Afrexim shortlisted 2 locations in Africa, one in Zimbabwe and another one in Nigeria, [/b]but the one in Nigeria is not in Imo,[b] they are already looking for contractor sef while this joker is fooling himself with set to do this and that..smh

Why don't you provide us with the exact location it will be sited in Nigeria?

asha80:
not hopefully because because as far as govt in is control of the day to day running of adapalm then it will never run optimally

My sister,

The board set up are not government officials, they are technocrats appointed to revitalise Adapalm and make recommendations.

The Imo government is currently in talks with serious private investors on leasing of the operations of Adapalm.

Thanks.

IGBOSON1:
Nice one!

Rochas went on so many trips abroad in the name of ‘seeking for foreign investment’! Imo didn’t get much out of it besides a row of statues!

Ihedioha should, as a matter of priority, see that the huge palm oyel plantation at Ohaji is brought back to life and profitability! This was one area i was hoping the previous administration would have taken care of!

Yes brother,

A board has already been set up to that effect and would oversee the transition of a vast technical know-how and efficient management of the moribund Adapalm as well as other moribund industries in Imo.

The best is yet to come!

Sunofgod:
Loans!

Investments are not loans, be guided.

PRESS RELEASE

Governor Ihedioha Secures $50Million AfrExim Investment in Imo

Governor Emeka Ihedioha's engagement with international Development Agencies to aid his administration in the task of rebuilding the state, has again yielded results.

The Africa Export Import Bank is set to make Imo State a huge investment hub, by setting up an Africa Quality Assurance Centre (AQAC) for the entire South East and South South regions in the country.

The AfrExim Bank is an export-import Bank which strongly supports expansion, diversification, promotion and development of intra and inter-African trade.

The $50 million (N18 billion) investment/Centre under the quality assurance facility of the bank, will provide certification and inspection services for various products for exports from Imo State and other parts of the regions to the international market.

The centre, which is the first of its kind in the entire South East and South South regions, is an indication of the responses of the investment drive of the governor as well as the remarkable improvement on the Ease of Doing Business rating of Imo State.

It will also provide capacity building to industrialists, make Imo State a business hub, and more importantly, provide employment opportunities and boost economic development of Imo State.

The Centre is a reflection of the efforts of Governor Ihedioha to restore confidence of investors and development partners in Imo State as an investment destination.

Recall that Governor Ihedioha had embarked on a Trade and Investment working visit to the Annual General Meeting of the AfrExim Bank, held in Moscow from June 20th – 22nd, 2019.

The meeting was a melting point for international fund custodians, fund managers, investors and multi lateral finance agencies.

What is the "Source of His Wealth Association of Nigeria" oya oh! nje nu!

[quote author=senatordave1 post=83039631]The recent decision of the imo guber tribunal is the worst judgment i've ever seen.i dont know whether the judges were affected by the venue of the sitting which was at the fct high court notorious for spurious and ridiculous judgment.what is so hard in calculating two third of 27? Even a kindergarten knows that 2/3 of 27 is 18 and ihedioha only got 25% in just 13 lgas.this is a constitutional matter,tyey should have simply nullified the polls and called for a rerun between him and ugwumba.this is a simple matter.

Cry babies, i warned you and your ilk about the outcome at the tribunal but you die hard children of iberiberism never learn.

You are the ignorant one uwemedimo nwoko is pure anaang
The anaangs bear an Igbo song like name
What's the meaning of uwemedimo in Igbo as you claim
Goodmorning

Men of less IQ should stay off what they don't understand.

You were so dumb to note that his mum could be from the so called Annang.

What does a surname Nwoko mean in your Annang dialect?.

I guess "Rotimi" in Amaechi's name is a core Ikwerre word too, and no his mum ain't Yoruba before you make another blunder, Dumbo!

A little education for the ignorant....

Mr. Uwemedimo Nwoko is a Nigerian legal practitioner, politician, human rights activist and the current Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in Akwa Ibom State.

Nwoko was born on October 27, 1964 in Abiakana, in Ika Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State.

He is from an Igbo speaking part of Akwa-Ibom State.

In December 2014, former governor of Akwa Ibom State, Chief Godswill Akpabio forwarded Nwoko's name to the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly for screening and eventual appointment as the state's Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice.

On January 13, 2015, he was given the job. He became the 14th Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice of Akwa Ibom State.

In mid-2015, he was re-appointed the state's Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice by the incumbent governor, Governor Udom Gabriel Emmanuel.

Kagarko:
Good Luck.

But work and stop witch Hunting.

Stop talking start working.

Who is witch-hunting?
Our hardworking governor at his inauguration promised to recover all Imo stolen assets from Okorocha the petty Kleptomaniac.
If Ihedioha suceeds in other spheres of the issues bedeviling Imo and he doesn't succeed in recovering our assets from those petty thieves, he has failed.
One of the major reasons he was voted in was because of his no nonsense stand to issues, as his word has always been his bond.
Carry go omenkeahuruanya ndi Igbo.

Ride on our amiable governor.

Omenkeahuruanya Ndigbo our future President, carry go we dey your back.
Whom the green cap fits, let him wear it.

Nice one Governor Ihedioha.

So whats your stupid point.
Why the unneccessary masturbation over an unknown non-entity.
A man who isn't even popular in his autonomous community talkless of his LGA.

This fat one-legged piggish fool thinks he has an image to protect smh!
Imo people have suffered sha!

Lovelife433:
imo will suffer from dis demon dey vote into power.

You are in pains.
Sorry you would have to lose your job as a sales person in one of these establishments. Again sorry

This money miss road stupid governor is one of the weakest mumu ever, how can you allow your enemy emerge speaker. His incompetence would've been forgiven if he used his second term to destroy TA Orjis Dynasty in Abia, if that will be his only achievement. But no, he is probably too busy stealing money than playing real politics. If he is indeed wise, he must reach out to the likes of Alex Otti, Uche Ogah and even Orji Kalu now so as to join hands and cripple the "Ishi Mbe" Dynasty now or Abia will be finished for life. Ndi Ngwa should prevail on their governor to receive some sense walahi!

Obama scam tactics, he will still fail
