Came4amod:
Tinubu was not shearing government dollar

FourQu:
Yoribas shouldn't protest. Remember who you're teaching political lessons?

Let thos people be the ones to protest and not you the POL101 lecturers.

PastorOlokonla:
I am beginning to believe people who started that the UGM attacks were politically motivated. Recently, we have not been seeing any incident of the UGM and I want to ask, what happened? Was anyone ever arrested or brought to book?

Did they repent, have a change of heart or what?

Its becoming a case of the more you look the less you see.

MADIFF:
So Yoruba no follow loot with Northerners?


Osinbajo
Fashola
Etc no be Yoruba?

slimfit1:
Go where exactly for who to come in ? Whatever we didn't do during Buhari we are not going to do it now. The rust didn't start from Tinubu's time.

Bookhub:
you knew buhari was destroying the economy but kept quiet all these years abi?
why didnt you caution him.

festacman:
Still SHALL and WILL statements 9 months post inauguration. Still talking about setting up committees? There is need to wake up. Time is running out.

Create action plan to bring more lands under cultivation in safer parts of the country while the fight against bandits continues
Create action plan to exploit the marine resources of Niger Delta. Create action plan to generate more employment opportunities. Roll out incentive packages to encourage existing enterprises and engender start-ups. Create action plan to boost non-oil exports. Why has Dele Alake gone quiet all of a sudden with sold minerals exploration?

There is no other short cut. No f**king short cut

You people are never tired of conspiracy theories and conjectures.

APGA isn’t holding Soludo back. Soludo is trying his best to prioritize the resources for the maximum impact. He understands that doing just one road using a multinational construction company does not even make a dent on the massive problem of poor roads all over the state.

For people saying Soludo isn’t building an airport or a showpiece infrastructure like Obiano. As much as airports are important developmental infrastructure, You should understand that what got our cities into looking like piggeries was decades of neglect to do inter LGA roads rather than urban renewal.


Peter Obi understood that education was the bedrock of development and pursued that priority. He also did some work in health. Obiano focused on giving Anambra the advantage of accessibility by air and creation of infrastructure such as hotels, conference centers or malls to help Anambra host big ticket events successfully.

Like Dr. Alex Otti who understood the importance of livable cities, especially a thriving Aba city to the overall development of Abia state. Soludo is right to focus on urban renewal and finally making Anambra cities some of the best habitable cities in the country. If Soludo succeeds in bringing law and order and transforming Onitsha, Awka, Nnewi, Ekwulobia and Aguleri into thriving urban centers, his achievements would be the most impactful in driving economic development of the state and making it a key investment destination in Nigeria. I remember when Rotimi Amaechi was demolishing shanties and dualizing key roads in Port Harcourt. People also criticized his work because they didn’t understand the importance and the link between having a decent city to attracting investors.

Unfortunately for Soludo he is doing the heavy lifting of repositioning Anambra cities at a time of near economic collapse. In his reluctance to raise taxes or massively borrow, he will have to continue finding ingenious ways by focusing on a batch of high priority roads and then stretching the available resources to complete them before taking on another batch of roads. Clearly Soludo has a plan and he is trying to judiciously use available resources without resorting to massive borrowing.

Nigeria’s giant new oil refinery Dangote, the largest in Africa, is set to import crude from the US in the coming months, a sign of just how competitive American barrels have become in the global market.

Trafigura Group sold 2 million barrels of WTI Midland to Dangote refinery for end-February delivery, said traders with knowledge of the matter. This is the first time that the giant refinery has purchased non-Nigerian crude, traders said.

Booming US oil supply over the past decade or so has transformed the global market, reaching as far afield as Asia. Nigeria’s economy is dependent on petroleum exports, meaning the deliveries from across the Atlantic are telling.

The new 650,000 barrel-a-day oil refinery, owned by Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest person, started operations earlier this month. It is targeting an initial processing rate of 350,000 barrels a day before ramping up toward its full capacity.

The refinery is sourcing domestic crude under a supply deal with the trading arm of the state company Nigerian National Petroleum Co. The first cargo that arrived at the plant last month was Nigeria’s Agbami crude, sold by a trading unit of Shell Plc. This was followed by more Nigerian barrels including the nation’s Amenam, Bonny Light and CJ Blend streams.

abhosts:
The CBN gave tens of billions of dollars to dangote at cheap official rate with the expectation that it would save the country foreign exchange in return. If Dangote wanted to import crude at global prices to for his refinery, he should have built the refinery with funds from oversees investors and not with cheap CBN dollars.

Nwokem, good to see you are back to the thread again. I was wondering why you and a few others suddenly left this thread this year. Biko make una dey come share una opinion about omalich state anyi!
Everyone dey contribute hin own quota. From who dedicated his entire YouTube channel for the good of the state, and to project the state in good light. To the many others who share many valuable ideas based on their experiences from different areas, they have been and worked. Daalu nu rinne!

Gradually we are moving forward as a people and I have no doubts that Ndigbo as a people will reach the promised land.
Good to see you're back bro!

In an era of declining revenue it would be foolhardy to build another hotel and one that will render the huge investment in Agulu Lake wasted.

Agulu Lake should be maintained however the government should provide free buses to bus guests between that place and ICC and other parts of Awka. It is less than 15 minutes from the core of Awka. After all the distance of hotels in Lekki to VI is almost the same.

My concern is why the police continue to block one lane of Zik Avenue near Amawbia roundabout rendering that axis a traffic mess while Soludo does nothing? They should build a new Police HQ in the Executive Business District to complement the governors lodge, state and federal secretariat and free up Zik Ave.

The other hard decision he should take is to relocate Eke Awka. The size of trailers that enter that market on narrow roads says that it is incapable of handling the type of activity happening there. The market has become a wholesale warehouse rather than just a retail place. There are too many shops squeezed into a tiny space.

Ogene001:
How about completing the Onitsha hotel started by Obi?

Covered drainage is the standard practice. It shouldn't even be subject to discuss. But then there are also some elements of truth in the fact that we need further reorientation for our people.

Go to some parts of Uyo, you can literally seat inside their open drains to eat. Even my home town, i always admire how clean the open drains are because of regular cleaning by the age grades. So free flowing drain is not about if it is open or covered. If we must cover our drains, which is the ideal, efforts must be made to cover all other adjoining drains, else OYO is your case.

A clear case is Ziks avenue Awka. The drains were covered by RCC. But it is giving serious challenges. Before this years rains, ANSG embarked on desilting along that route. But just one rain, come and see wahala. Currently around Eke Awka, water flows almost on road surface cos the drains are full. And unfortunately the people who have shops along the road cannot do anything as it is difficult to move the coverings. Meanwhile traders along Arthur Eze desilt there's almost every sanitation day.

So while we admire and hope for the standard drainage under side walks, such factors should be taken into consideration. Maybe installation of iron grills before any closed drains and also along any open drains, so those that trash their bin in the drains can be easily identified. We need uncommon solutions for our problems.

PoliticalUpdate:
To have a president of a nation emerge from your school as an alumni should be ranked as one of the greatest accomplishment, if not the greatest of any institution. Till date no school have come out to congratulate @Bola Tinubu alumni of Chicago State University.

Did they miss the wind of the news?

SpaceTour:
Please stop this long essays here. How is asaba or Abakaliki better than Awka or Onitsha, you guys that are not even from Anambra always come here to spew nonsense about our beautiful cities. Anambra cities may not have arrived yet, but no city in southern Nigeria is better than any Anambra city. This nonsense by you people must stop. Soludo is doing good job already in overall urban renewal and now Ekwulobia will soon join the league and fourth Anambra city .

YourMrBoo:
Nonsense talks

You cannot compare delta state igr to that of Anambra state.

That's an unfair comparison and an unfair judgement on Anambra state and her governors.

Asaba and Awka may have been made capital same day but you cannot say both have seen equal amount of funds as igr

Soludo should rather give his best and not try his best. We will never entrench or entertain mediocrity on this thread.

ozuru:
This road seriously need government attention

Bestmanfornow:
This is Regina road to INEC you can see the drainage channels, they're now at Regina junction, workers on site from what I was told there will be roundabout at the main junction
