[quote author= post=99983255]Anambra has more workforce, pensioners and population to take care than Ebonyi, labour is cheap in Ebonyi than Anambra,granite which consume large chunks in building of infrastructures and roads that Ebonyi government get them free unlike Anambra and other southeast states that buy their granite from Ebonyi, Ebonyi make so much money from individuals and eastern states, even neighboring Benue, even federal projects that purchase granite from Ebonyi, go to Ebonyi to confirm how much they sale 10 tires tipper fully loaded of granite[/quote]The amazing thing is that Ebonyi people shouting that it is okay for Umahi not to invest in human capital development and education all run away from Ebonyi state to live in Anambra. Where their children will benefit from quality education and become employable. Yet, they do not want their state government to do same for their people trapped in Ebonyi state.

See Ebonyi school here. i won't repost it in this thread out of respect. But it is important to note that allowing these types of schools in Ebonyi is the reason the state has remained poor and backward.

I love this comparison. Because i truly want to know who did more to positively transform the lives of his people.

Juliusmalema:
Don't be deceived. He is from Ebonyi state. There are many of them that goes about creating Monikers of different states.

Ndia enwero ifele..They have no shame.

Even with more than 200 new hotels and clubs opened in Awka, onitsha and nnewi alone since 2015, Obiano still built standard hotels to support tourism, and still has plans to build another one near the international conference center!

I'm waiting for one single one built by Umahi!

Latest updates on Anambra International Cargo and Passenger Airport, Umueri, Anambra International Conference Center, Awka and Awka City Stadium, Obiano's Legacy Projects


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HvF48lJvNI

Fantastic updates! Thank you very much!

Hopefully they will utilize the roof of the ATC tower for installation of radars and other equipment. Since it is easily the tallest structure in the area.

[quote author= post=99966358]Waiting for Dave projects before I proceed[/quote]I wish we can take this area by area so that it is very obvious to even the blind which governor performed greater feats.

Take it point by point, so that it is obvious that even in physical development (Roads, bridges and flyover), Obiano still beats Umahi. Yet, in other areas of development, Umahi practically scored zero!

In any case, let us take these projects one by one. Start with;
1, security, then
2, agriculture, then
3,roads,
4. flyovers and bridges.
5.Then community choose your projects, then
6, malls, hotels,
7, Traditional rulers emoluments and upgrade,
8, Anambra infrastructure for Police games,
9. real estate development,
10. then education / schools development / buses & internet access to all secondary schools,
11. then SMEs clusters
12. New markets development
13. Electricity enhancement projects ( 4 power grids around Anambra)
14. Rural Communities Development, Light up Anambra project etc
15. before we come to the present things like airport, ICC, Stadium etc.

It is beyond contest that Obiano transformed his state in every thinkable sphere of development.

Take your time to document these things well by each segment above. Let us see how Umahi performed in each area above.
Let this thread finally put the rest the lie by APC urchins about Umahi being this and that.

[quote author= post=99884138]The 5000 capacity international conference center in Awka is taking shape this is another legacy project of Gov Willie Obiano, when completed it will be the biggest ICC in southeastern region[/quote]Someone mentioned that the space reserved for the 5 star hotel could be encroached upon in the future and i totally agree. It is like how the entire land around the Enugu ICC was later given to private estate developers by the Chime regime.

I agree that the best strategy to ensure the hotel planned with this conference center is built where it is meant to be, the foundation block of the hotel should be laid now. Even if its a simple design that can be finished quickly.

mktinsight:
For Anambra the only governor who knew how to manage projects was Ngige who gave most key roads to construction giant RCC. Obi started the bad habit of awarding projects to many small companies like Inter Bau, Paul B, IDC etc. which Obiano continued.

When you award a small project to a company, you will get them taking shortcuts and inflating prices and wasting time. They are not motivated to do a job well.

The ICC suffered from the failures of the same people that built ramps and called them Flyovers and decorated them with fake lekki style bridge towers. Originally speced to be 5,000 sqm it was varied by none other than HE to be 7,000 sqm. Designed by some unknown Anambra fellows in Lagos. All 7,000 sqm to be under one roof no pillars. Of course the failure was in the process. Simple tender, bid, award process bypassed by villagers in government. Other state governments that followed process got it right. Calabar Conference Center easily one of the best in Nigeria as is Gombes. Yet Anambra calls itself light of the nation while fumbling in darkness.

[/s]

Please stop quoting me! We are not mates that you think your little clever intrigues will get you anywhere. We all know you unfathomable hatred for Anambra. Yet, you have no hatred for your state that receives so much more than Anambra from Federation account with absolutely nothing to show for it!

Go to Ogun thread and suggest to them! Leave Anambra people alone! Even a dundee know that Peter Obi performed better than Ngige and Obiano performed better than Peter Obi. You have carefully inserted Ngige there to give the impression that people in APC know anything at all.

By the way, have you seen that the Anambra International airport is about 70% completed? I know a seller of sniper if you would like to order some before the next round of pictures next month that will show you tiled floors inside the terminal building, completed runway with night landing and ATC tower that is already functional.

Clearly you are blind not to have noticed the large sloping corridors leading to the upper levels and the large areas in the upper level. There is no way you make corridors that wide if the upper levels are not for passengers. In any case, your wicked thought for the airport has come to naught. It is progressing and the government is right to have kept their project out of the wicked eyes of anumanus. We know your type in Nigeria. If you want to find out about the project TRAVEL TO UMUERI AND TAKE SOME PICTURES! Stop hoping on someone's else's pictures while you refuse to leave your abode in Osogbo! Gov. Obiano promised Ndi Anambra that the airport will be a parting gift to the people and he wants it to be a surprise to us. We are happy that he is keeping it a surprise gift to us so that we will be wowed when we see the final product. We like it how our Governor has planned it. Go and tell your own state governor to give your people a surprise parting gift too!

Slow poison.

Update on the 5G standard Anambra International Cargo and Passenger Airport, Umueri

What i love most is the three levels of the airport! This shows the structure is indeed massive. Looking at it, each level should be able to accommodate up to 250 - 300 seats! Thus, it will be able to hold a good number of passengers and even a little space for, toilets, food or gift shops on each level!

The ground floor can host the airline check in counters, the luggage claims carousel, Security clearance gate for travelling passengers, toilets and a few shops!

Thus it will take several years before expansion of the terminal building will be needed.

PROUDIGBO:
Exciting stuff!

The terminal is taking shape nicely! Looks like they can’t complete all the works by April....but i couldn’t care less!

What’s that underground section in the 4th pic?

It looks like the land location for the lift. Although it could be anything.

[quote author= post=9]Anambra International Cargo Airport, Umueri and Local Conspiracies
By Okechukwu Anarado

The Anambra International Cargo Airport, Umueri stands out as the most auspicious (cynics would prefer ambitious) singular physical infrastructure capable of significantly enhancing the face of commerce and the entire economy of Anambra State embarked on by the Governor Willie Obiano administration. It will equally propel the international trade interests of the South East to Olympian heights. Hardly can anyone credit any project of such consummate economic influence to any state government that ever existed east of the Niger.

Interestingly, the history of the project portrays the wisdom in the strategic economic permutations of Dr. Chris Ngige and Mr. Peter Obi, both remarkable former Anambra State governors, during whose administrations the parcels of land at the present sight of the Cargo Airport were variously duly acquired without let to the rights and privileges of the Ivite-Umueri community, the customary owners of the project sight.
Verifiable records have it that the original intention of Orient Petroleum Resources Limited, a petroleum outfit with commanding holding by the Anambra State Government, to merely site an airstrip at Ivite-Umueri to service sales of aviation fuel from its refinery was reviewed by the State Government’s later preference for a full-blown mega International Cargo Airport that will integrate the aviation fuel sales and cargo services. To attain the new target, the search party for an appropriate site that would adequately provide for the expanded demands of the venture opted for Ivite-Umueri which had Igbariam in close competition.

Dr. Chris Ngige secured Parcel A, while Mr. Peter Obi secured Parcels B, C & D and went ahead to consolidate statutory acquisition of Parcels A, B, C & D via a process that included but not limited to a duly documented and appropriately published “NOTICE OF REVOCATION OF RIGHTS OF OCCUPANCY ISSUED UNDER THE LAND USE ACT CAP 202 LAW OF FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA 1990” signed by Governor Peter Obi on the 27th of July, 2010. This was well over three calendar years before the emergence of Governor Willie Obiano as Peter Obi’s successor.

These Parcels of land did not suffer any haphazard or arbitrary delineation. Due processes and professional international best practices were deployed in their survey - with coordinates that bear them out. While Parcel A measures 760.279 hectares, Parcel B measures 539.781 hectares; and Parcels C and D measure 276.746 hectares and 324.894 hectares respectively. These figures summing up to 1901.7 hectares did not happen howsoever. NO!

On the 24th of November, 2011, via a letter entitled “RE-ACQUISITION NOTICE IN RESPECT OF PARCELS A, B, C AND D OF LAND MEASURING APPROXIMATELY 1901.70 HECTARES SHOWN ON SURVET PLAN NO ANO(A)108 FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF ANAMBRA INTERNATIONAL CARGO AIRPORT” the Anambra State Government invited “representatives of Ivite-Umueri Community as well as their representative registered land Surveyor for a joint inspection of the above site.” Ministry of Lands, Survey and Town Planning officials; representatives of Umuefi Nteje (a community contiguous to Ivite-Umueri) and their registered land Surveyor were also invited. Each of the communities was asked to appoint four representatives exclusive of their land Surveyor and Estate Surveyor. This joint physical inspection exercise was conducted to enable straightening of any doubts there might be about actual demarcation points of the parcels of land so demised to Anambra State Government.

The Anambra State Government, in 2012, paid a monetary compensation of N145,520,021 (One hundred and forty-five million, five hundred and twenty thousand and twenty-one naira) to the Ivite-Umueri community (the customary land owners) as compensation for Parcel A of project site. This transaction was effected through the duly appointed Attorneys of Ivite-Umueri community: Messrs. Cele Ugonabo & Co, and Gilbert Nwanna & Partners.

In a letter of the Ivite-Umueri Consultative Assembly to The Honourable Commissioner, Ministry of Lands, Awka, Anambra State jointly signed by Engr. Pius Achiebo (Chairman) and Mr. Jideovo Oyi-Onyeogu (Secretary General), dated 9 – 11 – 2016, they, while acknowledging receipt of compensation (though they said the payment was made “sometime in 2014” against Government’s record of payment in 2012), pleaded with the Commissioner as follows, “We therefore plead to our amiable Commissioner to use his good office (sic) and ensure that the payments in respect of parcels B, C, and D, are paid to Ivite Umueri through our Attorney, Gilbert Nwanna.” They also appealed with the Commissioner to “come and ascertain the extent of revocation so as to enable the land owners to make use of their adjourning (sic) land by placing long beacons on their own.”
Evidently, with the conclusion of enumeration and Environmental Impact Assessment, and full payment of compensation by the State Government in respect of Parcel A (N145,520,021 paid in 2012) and Parcel B (N142,251,240 paid in two installments of N72,251,240 and N70,000,000 in 2016 and November 2019 respectively), the Government sufficiently expressed its determination to walk its talk on the Airport Project. It however took the unprecedented commitment of Governor Willie Obiano, who himself effected compensation payment for Parcel B, for the Anambra State Government to fully mobilise to site pursuant to making the Airport dream come alive; hence the unrestrained speed of high profile construction work at the project site, as well as the successes the Governor is making in the intangible realms of seeking endorsements from relevant Federal Government and International Authorities for unhindered resumption of operations of the Airport when the speedily ongoing infrastructural demands would have been met.

With the above spate of developments towards the realization of the Anambra State International Cargo Airport, Umueri, every progressive and fair-spirited person, particularly those in whose immediate neighbourhood the project domiciles, should be jubilantly awaiting the birth and flourish of the venture. But to one’s utter consternation, it has been observed that a few disgruntled indigenous Ivite-Umueri fellows, who probably have grossly compromised themselves in unholy land deals affecting the demised Airport space, band together seeking to cast the Commissioner for Works, the Governor and the Anambra State Government as despotic land grabbers who, driven by invidious motives beyond the greater good for the greater majority, are using coercive state powers to extort large portions of farmland from Ivite-Umueri people. This group struggles to advance the bland and tedious argument that Gov. Obiano and Engr. Marcel Ifejiofor, both indigenous to Aguleri, are prosecuting a territorial expansion agenda of Aguleri people by facilitating the inauguration of the Airport operations with a view to adopting the project for the Aguleri community.

How puerile an argument for a project that is not only relatively far-flung from Aguleri town, but whose name duly bears Umueri as the town of domicile? And to bring the wanton emotional victim-conspiracy to the fore, the Commissioner for Lands, Mr. Bornaventure Enemali, who, being the host Commissioner for the project, should have been majorly implicated by the group had they any genuine claim, was not in any way pronounced culpable by the group. Yes, he is not an Aguleri man, so his involvement would stir no rumble!

Oftentimes good intentions and pliant acts towards their realisation attract frivolous reactions intended to thwart noble causes. The sustenance of a mission therefore becomes the preoccupation of a visionary whose determination to lend credibility and flesh to a cause compels to maintain an unwavering focus on the target, else both the noble spirit and the project fizzle out and gladden ignoble hearts.
Governor Willie Obiano has stoutly demonstrated his resolve to birth the Anambra International Cargo Airport, Umueri, regardless of peripheral attempts to scuttle his avowals to increasingly expand the frontiers of good governance as long as his term runs.
Okechukwu Anarado, a social analyst, writes from Adazi-Nnukwu



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwB0VIZC28o[/quote]After collecting compensations for parcels A,B,C and D lands acquired by Anambra state government for the airport project, it appears some members of the community want to play 419 by selling the same lands to unsuspecting private individuals who want to benefit by presence of an international airport in the area to own properties there.

Ordinarily, i would have suggested that the state government fish out these bad eggs, drag them through the courts and totally deal with them. Until they exhaust all the money they collected from illegal land sales. But since this is such a joyous project for the entire state, the current agreement to pay even more compensation for already compensated lands, and release some previously compensated and acquired lands back to the community is a very magnanimous decision to keep the community and every onye Anambra happy with the project.

PROUDIGBO:
Looks nice!

Hope they plant some as well. We tend to like too much concrete and not enough greenery in our landscaping!

Concrete buildings alone will make a place appear modern, but can never make a place beautiful. It is blending the concrete building around well positioned trees and flowers (LANDSCAPING) that makes the place both modern and beautiful. It is something that will take a while for many to understand. However, since this is a catholic school, i am sure the Reverend Sisters will ultimately transform the environment with nice trees and flowers because they understand the importance of serenity.

Generally, I think it will take the next generation that never had to live in a hut to appreciate that merely building a concrete structure better than a mud hut is not the only improvement needed. Greenery with landscaping and upgrading the ambiance of the environment through planting of trees, flowers and grass is an equally important part & parcel of moving away from the village mud house era without effort to improve ambiance of the environment.

It will indeed require the next generation who will become accustomed to seeing concrete houses in order to develop the mentality that the environment equally needs to be upgraded apart from just the physical building structure.

Hehehe....lol... you think anyone is scared of that? Nigeria is going down unless it addresses this issue fairly. They can send Fulani army as they have done, the problem will only escalate and the resistance will stiffen to involve even Fulanis living in the towns and cities like LoKpanta, Ugwuoba etc, who have been left alone to do their business because they are not destroying farms or camping illegally in the forests.

The herdsmen destroy people's livelihood & farms, thus you limit your action to their own livelihood and allow them to escape with their lives. There is a reason they spare the lives of the herdsmen. The minute that reason does not hold again, you will see it too.

In Nigeria, you plead with herdsmen at your peril. You just need to protect your farm and your crops in any way you can.
