Justice and equity: let the two largest political parties zone their presidential candidates to the Southeast.


We did that in 1999 for equity and justice sakes when we all agreed to have OBJ and Falae, both from the SW, to flag the flags of the two largest political parties.

One year of imposed governor on Imo state.

A governor who pins his head in the state capital, avoids rest of the state but for scratches here and there outside the state capital; and hopes he is fooling many with his media blitzes.

Imagine how much in billions of Naira have been seized and acquired by this person approving federal government payments.


Abokiii must be in charge, unarguably.


Under Old and senile Buhari, the younger ones steal Nigeria dryer.

Op, please Update the construction progress from time to time.

A country that once existed can’t be online country. It can be restored.

Your undoing is cheap cash from crude oil in the Niger Delta.

Power belongs to the people.

we IPOB are the people.

ESN is our deffence.

Nnamdi KANU is our Supreme Leader.

Biafra is our territory.

Those governors in the south forming regional militia to defend their regions from attacks by people from other regions in the same Nigeria are dropouts.

They know that any country whose regions must prepare militia against attackers from other regions of the same country is a divided country.
It’s only personal profit from One Nigeria which makes those governors to continue to pay allegiance to one Nigeria.

What other security network do you want after inviting the armed forces to deal with an area you despise so much in your state?

Abagworo:
That road is under construction and is even outside town. People of Imo State play politics with everything

The road is outside Owerri town but because Rochas left the legacy of all of Owerri senatorial district must be first developed to one mega city, too many people in the state have taken the Rochas legacy since he left office.

NwaIgboBoy:
Your parents!!!

What has my parents you called got to do with here, if not that you are a half-baked, semi-educated person?

You should have continued with holding weddings and swimming in the bad roads in Owerri senatorial district yet to be reconstructed by Uzodinma government, as your blackmail tool.
Many of you from Owerri zone no longer understand that development of Imo state must extend beyond Owerri senatorial district.

All Tinubu talk is on political correctness, whereas he knows that the cattle herders have refused modern system of raising cows for meat and dairy in enclosed RANCHES.

He knows that whatever meeting is called between the state governors, federal government reps, cattle herders and farmers, the cattle herders will not accept the modern method of raising cattle in enclosed ranches.

Tinubu knows that the cattle herders are simply gunning for occupation of other peoples’ lands in the south and middle belt regions of Nigeria; that’s the reason why the cattle herders prefer wandering about in bushes with cattle instead of embracing modern method of raising cattle in enclosed ranches.

To who do rape victims in Nigeria complain, since the law enforcement agencies in Nigeria also believe that raping women is part of their booty as uniformed men?

Uniformed personnel in Jihad go to the east of Nigeria, arrest young ladies, take them to Abuja where they rape the ladies. Many in Nigeria keep quiet.

Sorry woman, that’s the country you were born in.

APC years of maladministration in Imo state.

APC government in Imo state favours only Owerri senatorial district, because the 2 APC governors hardly see beyond Owerri area as worthy of modern development.

Population of Owerri area tripled since APC was brought to Imo state by Rochas Okorocha.

Okorocha enlarged about 4 existing urban roads in Orlu that led to the Akokwa road to his Ogboko home town in Ideato. He retreated to urban expansion of Owerri, attracting population influx into Owerri, tripled the population of Owerri in 8 years. So far, Hope Uzodinma has continued in Okorocha’s footsteps.

Nobody in Owerri thinks it’s better to modernize Orlu and Okigwe that started Imo state as urban centers with Owerri, so that people of Imo state can settle comfortably in Orlu and Okigwe areas.

We took the wedding down to Ohi - Orogwe Road In Owerri Imo State! The wedding was amazing, please let the state government fix this road..

The rain is about to start, help us fix this road please!!

#endbadroadsinowerri #Orjisblog #orjisblogm

Na same pattern used to blackmail governor Hope Uzodinma and his Works Commissioner to start work on PolyNekede to FUTO road.

You have started your own.


But there are similar roads in Orlu and Okigwe areas long forgotten, and which had never had asphalt on them since Imo state was created, whereas, this road in Orogwe and the Nekede-FUTO road have been asphalted many times since Imo state was created, but got worn out due to pedestrian and vehicular traffics from excess population influx from Orlu and Okigwe zones into Owerri deriving from concentration of nearly all government subsidized tertiary education institutions and amenities in Owerri senatorial district.

Don’t worry, governor Uzodinma shall rebuild the road very soon, humans in Orlu continue to live on urban roads of dust/mud or dilapidated.

It’s not your fault.

NwaIgboBoy:
Rocha must be hand till death

Blackmail!!

Because most of the people from Orlu senatorial district are poorly educated due to denial of tertiary education institutions in Orlu zone, they have no voice in Imo state. Imo state and its development process became an affair of development of Owerri senatorial district where mass education exists from locating all tertiary education institutions in Imo state closest to Owerri area. The masses of Owerri zone very better educated use every blackmail to force governors of Imo state to concentrate on massive urban expansion and modern development of Owerri zone.
Rochas built about 99% of what he thought was development in Owerri senatorial district.

Uzodinma has followed the footsteps of Rochas as he has been reconstructing only Owerri urban roads - tiny or no attention to rest of Imo state.

Your blackmail is for the birds of the air.

#endbadroadsinowerri #Orjisblog #orjisblogm

Lol. A road as far away as Orogwe community in Owerri senatorial district.

All because the governors from 2011 till today have a deep rooted disdain for urban development in Orlu urban center, with Okigwe as collateral victim, hence they concentrate on urban development of Owerri senatorial district; continue to look for Owerri development master plan, never look for the development master plan for Imo state.

Owerri senatorial district won lottery since 2011 till today for having political leaders who have a huge disdain for anything named Orlu.

On the White Paper stuff:

A state governor acquiring lands for his private, family members, or associates’ businesses contravened the laws of Nigeria regarding elected public office holders. Those lands acquired or businesses built on the lands become property of the state government once the succeeding administrations probe into the process through which the lands were acquired.



As for talk about Owerri Master plan, we should be talking about Master Plan for development of entire Imo state, if not that successive governors of Imo state since 2011, except Ihedioha, hate development in the senatorial zones they come from because of their disdain for Orlu Municipal area; therefore indirectly have disdain for their hometowns and the people in the senatorial district they come from.
Modern development flows from urban to rural areas, as it’s in Owerri senatorial district, never from rural to urban areas.

With the political leaders’ disdain for Orlu Municipal area, all of Orlu senatorial district remain villages. Who shall talk about Master Plan for development of towns in Orlu and Okigwe areas since the political leaders that have emerged from the two areas since 2007 have deep rooted disdain for development in the principal urban centers in the two senatorial districts?

Tkoy:
By Dr Godwin Maduka


I am onye Anambra, and today, I write not as a person with partisan interest, but as a concerned citizen, or what our people call "nwa afo". I write as a citizen with civic consciousness who understands that more often than not, especially in the Nigerian political space, electioneering activities tend to obscure the real issues affecting the society. Those issues get glossed over without critical appraisal and are lost in the din of campaign activities. And so elections come and go, but those issues still remain because like Newton's first law of motion states, an object will remain at rest or move in a constant velocity until it is acted upon by an external force.

It is another election season in my dear State, and we should be more concerned about the discussions we are not having. Building a modern society takes conscious effort, meticulous planning and dedicated execution. It doesn't just happen. Anambra is no exception.

Anambra State ranks fourth in bank deposit mobilization in Nigeria after Lagos, Abuja and Rivers State. But access to bank credit is so low. Access to finance remains one of the largest constraints to micro-small-medium enterprises (MSMEs). Increased credit made available to businesses have a multiplier effect on their performances and helps to boost their productivity. Unfortunately, while our people have huge deposits in banks because of our large informal sector, second only to Lagos, only a fraction of that money is given out as loans to businesses domiciled in Anambra. Access to credits has proven to be a stimulus for robust economies. More jobs are created, wages grow and living standards improve. What can we do to change this situation?

On the ease of doing business, Onitsha ranks 23 among 36 cities according to an index. From Upper Iweka down to Main Market axis, street boys hold people doing their legitimate businesses hostage, demanding for money under different guises. It is an extremely hostlie environment, and only people of steely resolve survive it. That is shameful. On dealing with construction permits, Anambra comes 28. On registration of properties, Anambra is 32, and on enforcement of contracts, Anambra is 30. Can something be done about this poor outing so as to make Anambra a top business destination instead of a place we travel to for christmas and burials.

Every year, we churn out graduates from our schools. 70% of them leave Anambra for other cities in search of jobs. We provide workforce for other States. How do we reverse the trend and become an attraction for workforce instead? What future are we creating for our teeming youths? Opportunities in life do not start and end with trading.

In this age of the internet, do we have a tech hub? Silicon Valley came to be due to synergy between Stanford University in the United States and Silicon Valley, pioneered by the Dean of Engineering, Frederick Terman. It was a harmonic relationship in which tech industry folks took courses in Stanford. In return, Stanford graduates had job offers from the tech companies. The creative abilities of the students of Stanford as it relates to technology found a vent and a funding stream in Silicon Valley. Google, Yahoo, Cisco and over 40,000 tech companies are products of this synergy. Can we recreate this model in Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, unleashing the talents of our young people and jobs in the process and making Anambra a hub for tech innovations, or are we still fixated in the old and retired testament called oil? Of course, Apple market valuation is worth more than Nigeria’s federal budget.

How do we make the three cities of Onitsha, Awka and Nnewi a smart city that operate round the clock instead of a ghost town once it is 8pm? There is a correlation between the entertainment industry and night life. Our young people in creative arts have to travel to Lagos so they can be exposed to opportunities for their talents. But the market at home is hugely unexplored. Just imagine the job creation possibilities in this sector alone.

How do we transform Onitsha main market into an international grade shopping mall? How do we change the "Obi and Sons Nig Ltd" business model of the Igbo man into something that outlives the founder, something with a global outlook while maintaining the local character? Talk of corporations and multinationals. John Pemberton invented the Coca Cola drink recipe and Asa Griggs Candler bought the patent from him 131 years ago. Today, Coca-Cola is a global brand.

How about Nnewi? Can it be an auto parts manufacturing hub with large foundries, steel furnaces and forges to complement it? Engineering faculties in our institutions of higher learning can have an exchange programme with Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Company and other heavy industries and get the opportunity to develop indigenous technologies that will solve local problems.

What is our current debt profile, the durations and the repayment plan? How can debts be used to drive growths? Do we have the capacity to borrow more for critical infrastructures?

Power remains a tough challenge for successive Nigerian government. But it is not insurmountable. Anambra sits on a vast gas deposit that is untapped. Are there ways we can exploit this opportunity and make constant power a reality, especially for our industrial clusters and big businesses? What will the legal regime be like? Even God needed light to create. “Let there be light”, so said the holy book. That is the backbone of production and a strong attraction for investors.

Onitsha port is idle and idling despite the fanfare surrounding it's construction. How can it be made viable? Since our people are the biggest importers in this country, can we build a mini economy around the port area, just like Apapa. Why shouldn’t that port be functional? The problem is not in our stars. It is in ourselves.

What's our current IGR? How do we grow it? While States like Lagos derives the bulk of her revenue from IGR, we are stuck with the federal allocation which is not enough to drive growths. Anambra has over 60 markets dealing in several items and several other businesses. Unfortunately, tax awareness is low. Can we drive a campaign to raise this awareness and streamline payments for efficiency and accountability? We have the most active diasporans, how do we get our people to think home beyond mouthing it?

On health, no modern society survives without a robust health care system. The Anambra State Health Insurance Agency was launched on the 14th of September, 2018, after the law establishing it was passed in 2016. However, only 2•4% of Anambra residents are covered by the agency.

One of the ways an Igboman fiercely reiterates his pride and independence is by asking "i na enye m nri?" (Do you feed me?). But the recent food blockade by northern farmers is like the wind that showed the underbelly of a cock. Food prices increased astronomically. What happened to our agricultural capacity? Igbariam farm settlement is gone. Anambra North used to be the food basket of the State due to the arable land available in that area. Have we lost it? How can we build a synergy between our farmers and agro industries?

While we shout restructuring, what are the low hanging fruits we can pluck in the interim? Have we exhausted our present capacity?

See, if you don't have a destination, any road will take you there. The election year is here again. We need a reawakening, a renaissance, a call to self reinvent. We need big ideas. We need critical thinking on governance beyond payment of salaries and road construction. There is development rain all over the world, and we are not getting wet.

I sincerely hope that in this election, what we will hear will not be the same monotonous rhythm that is so rudimentary, so cheap and so lacking in imagination. I sincerely hope that these issues and more dominate our discussions. The electorate should be able to interrogate them because Anambra is the only place we call HOME.

Anybody but APC candidate can win Anambra state guber election.



Neighboring Imo state governed by APC has its development arrested since APC was stolen into the state.


Only the Imo state capital is where modern amenities exist.

Problem dey this country sha, las Las every body go answer him father name

Many fools in southern Nigeria appear like they would rather choose death instead of seeing Nigeria split to many new countries.

Bandits are from far away northern Nigeria.
In an Oduduwa Republic, the people will have nothing to do with bandits, Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen.


So what is delaying declaration of Oduduwa Republic?
Great Britain? Are we in chains of colonialism in one Nigeria?
Crude oil in the Niger Delta? Crude oil is not all there is for a country to survive.

How much to be paid by Nigeria’s government to survivors of IPOB and Lekki SARS protesters murdered by Nigeria’s law enforcement officials?

Rugaria:

This man shaaa
Thank God his presidency is coming to an end..
Very violent man..
Something tells me he is not thinking of Herdsmen while saying that...
ESN?

Since 2015, AK-47 rifles have been like the walking stick for Fulani herdsmen, bandits and Boko Haram - all fighting for a country to be governed with Islamic Sharia criminal laws.

ESN now emerges with AK-47 rifles. ESN says they protect their forests against Fulani herdsmen with AK-47 rifles.
Very violent man with a most deadly tenure now orders military officers to “shoot at sight”anybody with AK 47 rifles.

One Nigeria de sweet Arewa led by Buhari.

Rugaria:

Shoot to death without trial. Tufiakwa.


PMB has driven Nigeria to Zoo conditions.
How could a country’s president give such others that anybody seen with AK-47 be shot?

TheRareGem1:
Nigeria unity is non negotiable. We have come a long way, and Nigeria shall prevail.

Osinbajo gave an amazing speech. If you read the context, you will agree with me that this good man is such an intelligent man.

That’s the best thing Arewa wants to hear from Politicians from southern Nigeria.


But at all levels of Nigeria’s political process, Arewa compromises that unity more than any other ethnic group in Nigeria since the end of the civil war.

PMB cabal, for example, is still fighting the Nigeria civil war against the easterners- a civil war which was declared ended in 1970.

If you talk to the Fulani about equity in Nigeria, it’s like you are talking to a stone.


The people are the most unforgiving tribe in the world.

But that constitution supervised by northern military dictators without any referendum guarantees northern politicians to have a stranglehold on Nigeria.

You can’t eat your cake and have it.


The constitution must be dumped for a new constitution by the people with referendum before you start to have peace.

aremuforlife:
There is a random jihadis going on in the northern part of the country. There mission is the same with bokoharam, but they are using different methods, in other to force the state to close all western education in the north.

The Jihadists fight illegitimately.
PMB government fighting the same Jihad by use of government instruments.

But southern politicians pretend that they don’t understand that it’s Jihad being carried out by Abductors from schools, Herdsmen and Boko Haram since the 12 sharia states of northern Nigeria adopted unconstitutional Islamic Sharia criminal laws.

Instead of southern politicians to meet and take away the southern regions and the Middle belt out of Nigeria, they struggle for who in the south succeeds PMB, as if the Jihad will stop with a president from the south.

Fulani are holding two hundred million people hostage in one Nigeria.
