Stop capping trash..

If enugu is a real estate haven like u claim, all those dilapidated slums, obiagu, artisan, camp asata, would have been demolished and replaced by new buildings.even enugu GRA is nothing to be proud of.. (I lived there. Behind mbaka adoration ground.. Onoh quarters, river lane) .. The reason they are still standing is because the inhabitants re comfortable because they wont afford increased rent that comes with new buildings... Bro nothing u wan tell me about Enugu....


Tell me the new city that have sprung up in Enugu the way, OBA, OGIDI, NKWELLE OTUOCHA EKWULUOBIA IHIALA, in Anambra...

there is more estate land in Enugu to compare to anambra with combination of imo, abia and ebonyi

No. I’m sorry I no get power to explain but via “ Man know Man” One can easily acquire a property illegally from a government in power.

expect so

you didn't protest when gas was increased to 10k per 12.5kg diesel 300naira kerosene 250
why so much eyes on petroleum. if other commodities has already been hiked.

Goldentulip2:
I think Compensation would depend on the circumstances in which the property was acquired

Do people acquire property by stealing.i don't understand you

will he pay compensation to the owners . if not they should sue him. this is not 1970

from aguda to mowe that is in ogun State. this is ritualist hand work. the family made a mistake they should have allowed the crowd to dispersed before they reach there.

Ikpeazụ won free and fair.
Even if Ikpeazụ is allowed to contest again, he will still win.
The elected leader in any place represents the average mindset of the masses.

Let me tell you people the truth, in 2023 Abia state will still get another person that is exactly like Ikpeazụ.

Lets look at it critically, does Abia citizens see any issue with Theodore Orji? Or OUK? Nope.
The same people that voted in three succession the likes of TA Orji, Orji Uzor Kalu and Ikpeazụ without seeing any issues with it will definitely vote in another person in the same mould.
Just look at their best politician Mr Abaribe that haven't done anything in the past 4 years but is considered their darling.

Forget social media fake intellectuals, the people of Abia still see Orji Uzor Kalu, TA Orji and Ikpeazụ as saviours.

trash , ikpeazu is better than all the orjis and abaribe. forget that ikpeazu doesn't have good PR , the man is not worst than Enugu state counterpart.

two useless failure of South East

oga don humble inside zoo cell.

This is hand work of ipob, they vow to eliminate ebubeagu spys. I am sure the woman is one the ladies marked for elimination.

Faithful007:
Why do people always talk about Western propaganda and never Chinese propaganda? Why do people always accuse the rich of being shady and never the poor?

When the truth favours you. Those who hate you will consciously abandon the truth and look for some conspiracy theory to flaunt.

oga what truth ? China has left us behind can't you comprehend. China has produce richer individuals than usa.

Then you should know that the Mamu formation is predominantly coaliferous and overlies the more viable Ajali formation for a considerable part close to the city. Hence why the piping will have to come from further out.
We are not talking about a few hundred people here, we are talking supplying sustainable water for over a million.
By rivers I hope it's not Ekulu you have in mind, because that dries out during dry season in most parts. In fact it was siphoned away when trans Ekulu bridge was built.

what is the distance of ajali formation from the contact with Mamu? how much is pipe? there is no excuse for Enugu not to have water. if the government can't do it let them privatize the water board.

eaglechild:
Which water?
You haven't given any answers.
Just a generic response.
I agree that there is lack of willingness.
Especially with this present government which is crap
However, Enugu presents a unique challenge.

look I am geologist ok, distance from ajali formation to Mamu formation where Enugu city is located is less than 3km. even though part of ajali entered into abakpa by ugbene 2 ugbondafu. I don't want to mention about rivers surrounding Enugu around.

safesurfer:
Lol. You are very funny.

Okay. How was the US able to partially cripple a big firm like HUAWEI, for example?

By simply limiting their access to critical technology. They are now threatening some Chinese firms with the same sanctions because of their support of China's maltreatment of the Uigyhur Muslims. They can sanction those companies because they rely on ameritech.

You talk about western propaganda and watching too much CNN and that's because the facts favour America.

But when America is ranked as one of the least safest countries in the world, in the same level as Nigeria, Pakistan, etc. Then it is no longer western propaganda but a fact to be believed, huh?

For tech, China doesn't even measure up to, say, S/Korea or Japan, not to talk of the United States.

I am sure you are using Chinese phone to type all this nonsense. banning Huawei has that stopped them from being top phone manufacturer and gadgets. the ist people to use 5G network,now 6G will soon be out. Western media has truely blinded you seriously.

China is not ur mate.

safesurfer:
I'm sorry, but you don't really know what you are saying as per your first sentence.

CHINA IS NOT MORE ADVANCE THAN THE USA IN TECHNOLOGY! This is not a matter of argument. That's a fact.

China actually depends on American technology to meet its local demands.

You can do your research and get back to me. Don't just make blanket statements without facts.

As for the governor in question, I have nothing to say on that cos I don't have any fact or data to agree or disagree with him.

But on technology, America remains number one in the world. Xi Jiping last year announced a ten-year (2030) plan to reduce China's over reliance on American technology, so I don't know where you got your information from,lol

too much cnn, Western propaganda.. visit both countries will change ur view. example, robot is like a pure water in china ,

safesurfer:
So your definition of beauty is numerous skyscraper Abi?
Well, the thing is China needs more infrastructure than America, especially this skyscraper that you are so obsessed about.

Based on their population ratio, for every 1 high-rise building that America has, China should have at least four or five. That doesn't mean more beaitiful, it means more reasonable.

I could remember when one US governor (I've forgotten which) was quizzed as to why his State doesn't have a bullet train like another Chinese state. He stated that what they have was doing its job well and they don't need any bullet train, even though they could do it. The Chinese needs to move more people faster than the US due to population density.



Netherland is in my opinion more beautiful than both US and China and they don't have as much tall fancy buildings.

At the end of the day though, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But even so, beauty depends on so many factors. High-rise buildings is just one of them.

oga China is far advance than usa in technology. has more high rise building than usa. USA president is just giving you Nigeria politicians kind of excuses, alot of countries has bullet train doesn't means that their population density is high.

where is bunker in this report

nothing is working in this country. fulani man will rather die than open other ports especially in the Eastern part of the country.

confessionsad:
Absolutely, I'm a student here in Enugu, there's water here in Enugu (Agbani and Maryland). They are less concerned about getting water here in Enugu. Someone will build a house and not even think of drilling a borehole. We have a well In our compound and it's always full, during dry season. Most individuals and tenants are waiting for the landlord to run a borehole or the government to do so.

Before you start laying foundation of a building, you should have tried or checked where you can get water from, but no they won't.
Most people in Enugu barely take their bath.
PEOPLE IN ENUGU ARE ACTUALLY TURNING THIS ISSUE OF WATER SCARCITY TO A NORM.

off course agbani has good aquifer. agbani sandstone. even inside Enugu there is good aquifer along ugbene 2 abakpa and some other places. the government ought to have 100's boreholes that can supply water in different locations in Enugu

eaglechild:
How will you solve the problem if given the opportunity?

Enugu is surrounded by water. the technology is there. what is lacking is willingness, without siphoning money.

eaglechild:
I can't give you cost implications.
I lived in the city when I was younger and the population was about 5x less. We had uninterrupted tap water.
Water for Enugu is piped from Ajalli the nearest sustainable water works, a distance of 30 km!!, From the city, using large pipes.
Most part of the city had tap water up to early 2000, even now some parts of the city still have running tap water.
With tremendous population growth and city expansion, coupled with non proactive governance, public water supply became unsustainable.
The past government tried to partner with the world Bank to see if they can at least maintain supply to the older parts of the city, which met limited success.
They relaid some pipes and did some test runs but a new government came who had other priorities, I guess the cost implications and lack of dedication make them look the other way.
Solving water problem in Enugu is doable but will be very expensive and will need total dedication.
It is ABSOLUTELY NOT a private individual project.

forget all these stories , I lived there too. water is not a rocket supply, they are not ready to do the right thing.

eaglechild:
It will cost a lot more than that

can you break than the cost here. let them give me the amount 80% of Enugu town will get water in the next months, the pressure pipe is already there.

Goodness001:
I'm talking from professional point of view.
Getting water in whole of Enugu city will cost a trillion naira. 2b naira can't even build you a short span flyover

which profession, I am a geologist

only a mum.u will be donating money to ndi oshi

EmmaJnr1:
what I see sitting down, u and your father cannot see it while standing up. Cow like u

anupama won't you go and face the army in Nkanu. umu bingo

EmmaJnr1:
That's why state police needs to be set up immediately.

I thought you are ipob member, why do you need state police

YoungRay007:
With 10 billion naira, Enugu State can be assured of water.

it won't cost the govt of Enugu 200k to build 500 boreholes across ajali formation.

Goodness001:
Water scarcity in Enugu metropolis is well established but people need to understand the underlying reason.
There's no single borehole in Enugu metropolis. Enugu is sitting on massive shale/extensive coal which is bad aquifer. It's simply economically impossible to drill borehole in Enugu, so that's why no private individual can develop borehole system in Enugu. Well water are common in some area but sometimes dry up during dry season.
The adjoining Ajali formation on the Udi plateau is quite a good aquifer and has been the source of water in Enugu through private mobile tankers. Enugu has water cooperation that source water from the area under Ajali formation which are outside the city serving small percentage of the people living in the city. Developing comprehensive water system in Enugu will cost a fortune(Billions of US dollars) which explains why the problem has lingered for so long.

oga that's pure lie , it won't cost 2b naira to get water in the whole of Enugu city.

where is our oil crew. hold your leaders responsible for backward of your region.

Agape123:
Lol, at Edward. Well I was in Rwanda for 3 or 4 months too. That place cost die. The duty on their cars is 100%. Imagine buying a car of 1m for 2m, I once bought iPhone 6 for 120k rwf, phone of 30k or 40k in Nigeria here. Even d house we stayed in Gacuriro is $1,000 per month. Well internet is cheap (liquid telecom). The country is good generally, nothing concern me with their leader. And if I’m ever going back, I’m going back cos of those tinder ladies Make woman no kill me lol.

a business man will see all these as opportunity to make cool cash. imagine carrying 10 of those phones from Nigeria to their as part of ur travel luggages
