It's less than 5 months of CC swearing in, why make a claim about "Massive Infrastructural Decay?
I thought Willie was the best in Anambra in terms of infrastructure, what changed?

This is DMGS roundabout in Onitsha, Anambra State.

Sitting at DMGS roundabout in Onitsha Anambra state is the beautiful Statue of Nnamdi Azikiwe, better known as Zik of Africa, sitting under the Elephant Tusks peculiar to the Igbo culture, and bound by the ring of beads holding them in place.
The smaller and real ones are easily found among the male folks when you attend a traditional event or visit a traditional igbo home. About the beads... That is very popular.

The tusks and beads are cultural symbols revered by the Onitsha people, particularly, the ancient Agbalanze society.

Meanwhile about late Nnamdi Azikiwe,
He was the Governor General of Nigeria from 1960 -1963, Became Ceremonial President from 1963 - 1966, the same time Nigeria became a republic.

I don't want to be subjective about this matter, let's see the agreement between the two parties.
This is the response of Imo state government:



Imo state government has described as distasteful and cheap blackmail the claim by Innoson Motors that it is owing the company N2.5b being cost of the vehicles it supplied to it some months ago, insisting that the company’s claim are half truths ,intended to impugn on the integrity of the state government for ulterior motives.

Reacting to a threat by the company that it is filling a lawsuit to recover” over N2.5B debt owed’ it by the state government, the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Hon Declan Emelumba deplored the manner the company is going about the recovery of the so called debt.

The Commissioner said the truth is that the government bought vehicles worth over N5b from Innoson motors and has so far paid them N3.5b.

According to him, contrary to the claim of Innoson Motors, the said N2.5b is actually the balance due from the original value of the purchase. He regretted that Innoson motors, for reasons best known to them, decided to hide this fact from the public.

Emelumba insisted that the total value of the vehicles supplied was in excess of N5b and that the government has been servicing the debt since then.

He said the management of Innoson Motors was actually the one that breached the contractual agreement with the state government regarding the sale and maintenance of the vehicles.

According to him, there is a clause in the purchase agreement stipulating the siting of a maintenance workshop in owerri and a mobile workshop as well , by Innoson Motors, for the maintenance of the vehicles.

He noted that inspite of the fact that the company breached this agreement, the state government has been servicing the debt and still maintaining the vehicles, disclosing that more than 70% of the vehicles have already broken down.

He said both the threat by the company and resort to media trial of the government were in bad faith.

“It appears the company is out to rubbish the integrity of the government, otherwise it would not have twisted the facts of the case and published same concerning this honest business transaction , even when it failed to show the public the terms of the contract and the clauses the government breached therein. “The whole thing smacks of mischief and bad faith” Emelumba added.

He also regretted that Innoson Motors had not actually exhausted all means of negotiation before threatening the government with a law suit.

He said “the mischievous resort to media trial has confirmed that the company is more interested in compromising the integrity of the government rather than being paid its outstanding balance from the contract sum”

The commissioner disclosed that although no court process has been served it, the government will meet the company in court as soon as a process is served.

The Anambra International Airport Departure Lounge is UPSTAIRS, not downstairs.
Currently, the cargo inspection room downstairs is used for departures as the shops are still being installed in the departure lounge upstairs.

Anyone visiting the airport would be told this by the staff there.

The Soludo admin' should look into this! It's annoying when the bleeding obvious has to be pointed out when supposedly there are people appointed/employed to take care of this sort of thing!

Please, everyone should do their job well and not have to wait until their shortcomings are pointed out on social-media before swinging in to action! The Governor has enough on his plate as it is without having to do the job of civil servants and appointees as well!

Just after Former Governor Obiano, was arrested by the EFCC based on inflated projects like the Anambra Airport and International Convention Center, the Soludo visits the airport to notice the shocking state of the certain structures.

OP if your fake disinformation campaign has fallen flat because nobody is deceived

Soludo was actually highly impressed with the airport when he landed NOT shocked as you lied here! Soludo asked the airport manager other remaining projects the state needed to provide to facilitate the smooth running of the facility.

Best airport east of the Niger. Anambra amaka

AntiBMC:
Why would ESN burn shops on Sunday night.. can you see how you ain't making sense?
All the imported thugs trying to stress soludo's administration... would commit crimes and as$wipes like oyigboupdate would link it to IPOB. Ndị uchu

2023: HATE HIM OR LOVE HIM,
ROCHAS OKOROCHA REMAINS THE MOST VALUABLE, ACCEPTABLE, SELLABLE, AND TOLERABLE PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL, THE IGBOS HAVE AS WE SPEAK.
BEYOND THE SOUTHEAST WHERE HE COMES FROM, HE IS AND REMAINS THE ONLY IGBO MAN, WHO CAN DEFEAT ANY OTHER PERSON FROM THE SOUTH, IN ANY PART OF THIS COUNTRY, ON POPULAR VOTES.

AND ALSO GIVE "HOT CHASE" TO ANY CANDIDATE FROM THE NORTH IN ANY PART OF THIS COUNTRY, INCLUDING THE NORTH.
IN KANO, BEFORE ME, MAITMA SULE SAID, THE NORTH HAS NO REASON TO REFUSE ROCHAS OKOROCHA ANYTHING IF HE ASKS. THAT, "HE HAD DONE FOR THE NORTH, WHAT THE NORTH COULD NOT DO FOR THEMSELVES AND WHAT NO NORTHERNER HAS DONE FOR THE NORTH ".

AND RELATED OR SIMILAR TESTIMONIES IN THE SOUTH WEST, SOUTH-SOUTH, ETC.
OKOROCHA'S ACCEPTANCE IN EVERY PART OF THE COUNTRY GOES BEYOND POLITICAL PARTIES AND ETHNIC BIAS.
ANY IGBO MAN GENUINELY PURSUING THE 2023 IGBO PRESIDENCY, SHOULD OPT FOR OKOROCHA OR FILE BEHIND OKOROCHA.
THE FEAR OF OKOROCHA, IS THE REASON FOR THIS CONSENSUS STUFF.
IGBO LEADERS SHOULD BE ABLE TO READ THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL. SHUN THEIR SENTIMENTS. COUNT THEIR TEETH WITH THEIR TONGUES AND FACE THE REALITY ON GROUND.

THE REALITY IS THAT, IF THEY WANT TO BE PRESIDENT IN 2023, THEY SHOULD SETTLE FOR OKOROCHA. THAT'S THE ONLY IGBO MAN, AS WE SPEAK, THE REST OF NIGERIANS CAN TRUST WITH POLITICAL POWER.
DON'T BELIEVE ME, BUT THAT'S THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER. IT GOES BEYOND PERSONAL ANIMOSITY AGAINST HIM, BY ANYBODY, AND FOR ANY REASON.
THANK YOU.

I HAVE, UNLIKE ME, WRITTEN IN CAPITAL LETTERS, TO SHOW OR STRENGTHEN THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS POST, BECAUSE TIME IS OF GREAT ESSENCE. AND IT WAITS FOR NOBODY.

Ndi Anambra communities should create the Ichi awareness..

Identify ekpa boys camp esn or anyone terrorizing your community

Let’s know their camps .. online here .. name location in anambra ..

Chikeluba25:
Honestly... He is not a media/microphone type that makes too much noise about his achievement; that's why they think they can paint him black but real Anambrarians know Obiano did excellently well.

Most of the people insulting Obiano out of hate, jealousy are the same ppl that will still speak ill of Soludo when the time comes. That's why we are praying that Soludo succeed.

Chikeluba25:
More.

OfoIgbo:
But if proven to be accurate, that none of those caught so far in Anambra, come from Anambra, it is damning. Those people should first of all, go and get rid of the Fulani parties (APC and PDP) ruling their states, before they start flexing muscle in Anambra that is being ruled by an Igbo party at least.

Anambra people chose Soludo, so Anambra people may feel insulted and disrespected if non-Anambrarians are trying to undermine a governor they chose with no magomago.

Let those non-Anambrarians first go and rescue their own states. Soludo has done his utmost best, better than any governor to give IPOB a listening ear, but if any unreasonable faction of IPOB thinks they can take a cruise with Soludo, very shortly they will notice that ndi Anambra will not stand for that rubbish.

Imagine what will be said if evidence shows that all the gunmen operating in Rivers state in the name of IPOB/ESN are from Anambra, which basically means any violent action taken by this group has no Rivers state indigenes input.

So basically we are now in a situation where non-Anambrarians are bearing arms in Anambra and causing all manner of hardship, including undermining the governor massively voted in by Anambrarians. Such actions should not be taking place without first having the buy-in of Anambra youths

Simon Ekpa can first of all start going to rescue his own state. Thank God IPOB-DOS seem to be cooperating with Soludo

Naijabad:
Why can't the south unite and move out of Nigeria?

Why is it so difficult?

We can choose whatever name to call the emerging country.

Please what's your opinion on this?

If you ask me? Na who i go ask??

The south is under serious juju manipulation. They are blinded by serious charms placed on cow meat eaters by their oppressors.

Half of the people that devotedly jump on these types of threads are Fulanis.

Their medicine for the south is simple: DIVIDE and RULE.

Just pose as an Igbo and blame Yorubas for every evil in Nigeria, and then again you pose as Yoruba and blame the Igbos. Retreat, and watch them tear at eachother.

NigerianAngelo:
Why can't the South Unite and move out of Nigeria?

This should rather be the topic. Afterall I have traveled all over but never to North.

I have been comfortable everywhere except near aboki.

I even use Hail Mary near them. Fear aboki

omohayek:
To read through this thread is to witness the recapitulation of all of the nonsensical development ideas which have led Nigeria to remain a Third World cesspool while many of its former peers have joined the ranks of developed nations: inane conspiracy theories about "the West" plotting against Nigeria for some unspecified reason or other, insistence on the "essential" nature of what is a commodity in the age of machine learning and biotech, vehement appeals to "infant industry" arguments which have never shown any success in all of Nigeria's history, appeals to tribalism and insistence that Ajaokuta would have been a roaring success if only the "right" people (aka their "kinsmen" ) were left in charge, even pompous boasting about a supposed 160+ IQ from someone who clearly couldn't reason his way out of a paper bag!

As far as I can see, only one contributor to the entire thread clearly sees Ajaokuta for what it is: a ridiculous white elephant project which was already obsolete and uncompetitive when it was being initially built by Shagari, let alone today when Chinese operators are flooding international markets with steel at prices no one can compete with - not even the Americans, the South Koreans and the Japanese, let alone a third-rate country like Russia whose sole remaining exports are raw materials like oil, gas and manganese. Pouring more money down the black hole that is Ajaokuta in the name of "development" is the most pointless and ridiculous policy any government could follow, as would be obvious to anyone who understood what the "sunk cost fallacy" means.

The belief that manufacturing has some sort of sacred role that justifies diverting scarce funds to, at the expense of essentials like reducing infant mortality, providing clean drinking water, and ensuring everyone can get a quality free primary through JSS education, is at the foundation of much that has gone wrong in Nigerian history, even leaving aside all the rampant corruption. This pathetic superstition is what has given birth to Dangote's monopolies that double the price of housing for every Nigerian, it's what has led to rampant smuggling of adulterated food products and drugs that kill vast numbers every year, it's why oil bunkering and "refining" have ruined the Niger Delta with pollution, and it's why "herdsmen" can hold a nation to ransom in the name of more expensive and vastly inferior beef to what could be imported from Argentina and the USA. One would think after 62 years of failed protectionism and import-substition policies, Nigerians would have started to know better, but threads like this are a real eye-opener in that regard. Nigerian history in a nutshell: largely stupid masses go along with largely stupid policies of largely stupid leaders, then act astonished when the results of their stupidity are further failure and impoverishment!
