IDENNAA:
I need a governor who has a sense of doing things the right way...sand dunes on the roads , water supply , poor road finishing with side walk and green areas, tree planting along all major highways and streets, eke Awka demolished and build department stores with great architecture. We need a man with taste, culture, class and a doer

Welcome aboard. Standard is everything, I cannot emphasize less on that. Obiano really disappointed me. I expected much more from him with finesse in finishing, but he towed the line of typical Nigerian Politicians of awarding infrastructural contracts to cronies without any expertise. The result is what we are seeing allover the state. Look at open drainages everywhere in Awka and Onitsha. No single dual carriageway done by state government of any road above 5km.

I really hope Soludo or Maduka will up the ante of quality in Anambra development.

Mechionu nwokem. Anambra is already moving forward in all areas of development ahead of any state in the region. Your inputs are not needed here because it is useless and worthless, use it to fix your miserable broken life. Anambra has had 3 consecutive administrations of good governance from Ngige to Obi and now Obiano. We hope to up the game further in the next ballot. So we don't need your useless inputs because they are mere distractions. You can open your own thread to continue spewing the same rubbish because this thread wasn't opened for you to come and litter it with unfounded rubbish. Someone that cannot even win election in his family is talking about HOR, and placing the cart before the horse. That's how to know failures that usually hatch their eggs before it is laid.

There is no point abusing people who have a contrary opinion to yours on issues. You do not know who I am and I do not know who you are in the society, so why don't we maintain decorum. I understand you were paid to do a job, and on the basis of what you have displayed, thus this far, I do not think you explicitly have the required attributes to deliver.

I repeat we might have Africa best Airport by design, but we cannot build African best Airport as being trumpeted with IDC as the contractor- take that to the bank

I agree with you that we need to up the ante/raise the bar in the next ballot - Prof Soludo is good, so is Dr Mmaduka (Let Ndi Anambra decide); On my part, I can lend my expertise to either of them when called upon.

I will equally agree with you that Ngige, Obi and Obiano tried, but their best are not good enough for us, we need to raise the bar VERY high

Take care my friend

oneeast3:
Keep switching usernames to spew the same nonsense you are known. Obiano has done so well in all facets of development and remains the best so far in the region. If you think he hasn't done to suit your empty head, then bring your useless father to come and contest election. Your father is older than Obiano but he rather choose to be sleeping with prostitutes than contesting elections like others. All you do here is to keep spewing nonsense out of frustration. Take your useless input and use it to fix your miserable life, we don't need it here.

Just to keep the record straight, I am no other person other than Pandax as used and stated. The state will move forward if we accept constructive criticism and challenging of people in Authority to perform as elected and not worship them as sycophants.

I do not wish to become the Governor at anytime, as it's not my calling; but, I would like to go to Abuja, as HOR to my make sure we pass a particular bill - Capital Punishment for Corruption and Embezzlement of Public Fund exceeding N10,000.

mktinsight:
Your suggestions are good. However, has this administration COMPLETED any major project of significance?

1) Did they complete the less than 3KM expressway between Amansea and Amawbia that was supposed to be three lanes like Onitsha? No. One lane going towards Onitsha still remains uncompleted almost 5 years since they started -> between Juhel Roundabout and Arroma and between Kwata Flyover and Amawbia.

2) Have they completed a simple Conference Center other states like even poor Ebonyi have completed in less time? Its now THREE years since they started the ICC and they have not even gotten to the stage of putting in windows, electrical systems or furnishing it.

You have to question why is this administration so poorly performing. From my observation, Obiano's major failing is his poor prioritization and poor human resource management. He chooses the wrong people to execute projects based on sentiment rather than performance. Both his Works Commissioners are from his hometown of Aguleri instead of the best men for the job. As a result just look at the end result. IDC was awarded the Awka stretch between Amansea and Amawbia for a supposed 13 billion and left us with flyovers that trailers cannot climb (due to the steep gradient, congestion at Arroma and Kwata underpass due to poor design and an undulating, uncompleted expressway. Planting grass and flowers at the sides does not cover up their shocking poor engineering.

Meanwhile contrast what RCC is doing on the expressway from Umunya to Amawbia. First rate highway construction. Or contrast CCC that built the three lane expressway and service lane between Head bridge to Umunya stretch, the New Tarzan flyover and the Old Enugu-Onitsha road. You award big projects to seasoned engineering firms not novices.

Obi did the same thing when he awarded a lot of state roads to Inter-Bau and Paul B. Many of these roads are now riddled with potholes because Nigerian contractors like to take shortcuts in simple road construction in order to pad their pockets,

I am happy that another person has a similar mindset as mine. I hate and abhor mediocrity, which could manifest in substandard quality in anything, especially when it comes to infrasturatural development. If we intend or aim to be the best, we will have to behave better than the best - Dubai did, so we can.

The three(3) Awka FLYOVERS were poorly designed and executed and therefore not fit for purpose, especially the ones at Aroma & Amawbia junctions. I will recommend DEMOLITION as a simple OVER PASS would have been ideal at these two(2) locations. In Business Analysis parlance, the delivered solution has 'Solution Limitations', imagine delivered FLYOVERS constituting HOLDUP it was meant to solve. The reward for a good work is more work. Why will the same IDC that did substandard flyovers at Awka be allowed to participate in building the Airport?.

Julius Berger is doing a Federal Project in Anambra State now, at least for the next two(2) years; Use them to open up the state with properly designed and constructed dual/triple carriageways. They have the money, give it to them on PPP or any other model and toll the roads. It will be a win-win for both parties as they do not need to MOBILIZE to Anambra again

My Brother, I am a little bit disappointed with Obiano. I expected more from him, but he is punching below the belt. The reason why he delayed until twilight of his tenure to start Airport, ICC and Awka Stadium, I do not understand. Aside the not fit-for-purpose flyovers at Awka, name one significant infrastructure done by him. Its all motion and no movement inspite of the huge money left by Obi for him. I can understand Obi lack of Landmark Projects because he was busy sharpening the saw; unfortunately, he couldn't cut down the tree, but he saved a lot for the state in financial investment

I hate charlatan, I pray the next Governor of Anambra will start thinking global big time and not this our Nigeria dick-measuring.

Absolutely nice,
It's Mind Blowing

AsomughaChuks05:
Splendid. Our Igwes will no longer be running after one illiterate with bald head. The Chief Willie Obiano International Airport Umueri, New standard stadium Awka, International Conference Centre Awka, are all mega indelible legacies that Governor Obiano will leave behind.

Please that Anambra Airport irrespective of whom it will be named after, though I would have preferred Chinua Achebe International or Emeka Ojukwu International Airport or Simply Anambra International Airport, should be gazetted as Onitsha and not unknown Umueri to enhance its popularity, otherwise people might be using Asaba Airport to access Onitsha cum Anambra

If Anambra State Government is smart enough, they should build a clover-leaf FLYOVER at the Airport Road junction on Onitsha/Awka Expressway (perhaps at Umunya or Awkuzu axis) and extend a virgin dual or more road perpendicular to Awka/Onitsha expressway cutting through Awka/Onitsha old road( perhaps through OYI, Njikoka, Idemmili ) and join the new Owerri Interchange at Obosi(being constructed by JB); with a spur somewhere at Idemili to the centre of Nnewi via a dual carriage way and burst out at Okija with another clover-leaf FLYOVER on Owerri/Onitsha expressway Road, Okija

Secondly, dualize the 33 Road to the Airport. Futuristically speaking, discuss with Delta State Government to build a TOLLED 3rd Niger Bridge cutting through North of Asaba and North of Onitsha(Anambra West/EastAxis) then join 33 Road to it and take it to Kogi en route Abuja.

Thirdly, from Esther Obiakor junction at Awka/Enugu Expressway do another clover-leaf FLYOVER that will pass through the Virgin lands of Ifite Awka, Awka North to Anambra East to join the 33 Road/the proposed 3rd Niger Bridge Road to Kogi with a spur to the Airport.
Then go back to Esther Obiakor junction Clover-leaf flyover at Awka and extend it Southwards through perhaps Awka South, Orumba and burst out somewhere around Lokpanta on PH/Enugu Expressway ( discuss the modalities with Abia State Government)

Finally dualize Awka Amawbia, Nibo, Nise, Agulu, Nanka, Ekwuloba to Uga Road with a spur to Nnewi

Open up the state with dual or more carriageways, toll them and people will pay, the state is too congested and choking. Then, boom you will see developments in quantum. Source for funds from anywhere and Toll these Roads, Ndi Anambra will pay to use. By my modest estimation it could be done with 300B (excluding the cost of the proposed 3rd Niger Bridge) considering the small size of the state landmass-wise

Viewing Centre!. How many Nigerians still go to Browsing Centres/Cybercafes these days with the proliferation of cheap data plans everywhere or EVEN pay to make calls under umbrellas as it were a few years ago?.

Kekereekun123:
drop which price. many will still prefer viewing centers

THINK: You might want to drop prices to attract more customers to leverage

If I acquire EPL rights for Nigeria only @$75m for 5 years(i.e $15m per year)
AND
I have 1m subscribers paying 4k per month = 4,000*12*1,000,000 = N48b = $106.7m (at $1 = N450)

To make equivalent of the above or more, I will simply drop my prices to increase my subscription base (2m), it is not rocket science
if my price per month becomes 2k instead of the usual 4k , it becomes:
2,000*12*2,000,000 = N48b = $106.7m (at $1 = N450)

Its simply greed on the part of Multichoice and nothing else. They are fortunate I am not in the decision making position on this issue

Kekereekun123:
I secured a football broadcasting licence for say 1m dols at 306.5 naira. Later rate goes to 386.why will i not increase price to break even. Dull agency

97% and 5% simply mean that Buhari nee APC got 97% in NW and got 5% in SS/SE; SO Mathematically and Statistically, it is correct. Chikena!

Racoon:
Guess you were still in this nation when a president segregated Nigeria into a mathematically incorrect 97% and 5% regions? When appointments were mostly skewed to the people of a particular region?

Brother, it is called "Toyota Harrier" in Japan; but, in the USA, it's called "Lexus RX 300" - Caveat, manufactured in USA

AlabiJ:
I see Tambuwal's moves as another sleek attempt by PDP to deny ibo people a chance of flying the party ticket in 2023. If Atiku gets the ticket he may likely pick another ibo as his VP. But if Tambuwal gets it, he may likely pick Wike or a Yoruba person as his vice.

Never play with this Psalm. I prayed an aggressive prayer with this Psalm around 1.00am and a big tree fell down in the compound without breeze, wind or rain. The next couple of days I became free from my spiritual induced sickness/ailment. There is still power in the blood of Jesus, go to Him and He will set you free IJN

Thevisualchef:
91 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

I reside in PH and not abroad. In fact the cost of PGS & IVF has gone down now. There are clinics like Nordica, Bridge and the rest in Nigeria that can comfortably carry out the procedure with their foreign partners. it is doable. I married my wife with my last N1m in my account and I knew that we were not compatible because of our genotype. I love her and was able to do it because we did not tell anyone except my mother-in-law who supported us. Till today, we have not done white wedding as most churches refused wedding us. I told my wife to follow me that God will see us through. Today, I have tens of millions within 2 years of marriage and my healthy triplets are on the way. Maybe, after delivery we will go back and see if churches will wed us.

AloneTK:
I'm glad you added the cost implication. How many people can afford that. I guess you are fortunate to be able to handle the expenses. Let's not forget that these guys (medico) are quick to hide under the umbrella "CHANCE" Even condom sef, dem go tell you say no be 100% assurance. I wont advice anyone not to go ahead with such an arrangement but I will definitely not give my support. For God's sake, let's think about these kids. Out there in Europe where you are, I believe such kids if one is unfortunate to have them would have access to the best health care ever. Not in this our own Naija. Its hell to even consider it.
If

My dear, I am As and married AS as well. There is a procedure called PGS ( Pre-Implantation Genetic Screening) to be followed by IVF ( In vitro fertilisation), It could be done in Nigeria with a cost of N5m maximum; though we did ours in Eastern Europe and presently my wife is in her 7th month of pregnancy ( 1AS Boy, 1AA Girl & 1AABoy)

Alternatively, if trhe girl is below 28 years they could go for a procedure called CVS( chorionic villus sampling) or another one called 'amniocentesis' to determine the genotype of the foetus within 12 weeks and a D&C could be carried out if unfavourable.

God has given us wisdom, use it wisely

DopeAngel:
Serious Advice Needed Pls- How Can I Resolve This Impending Doom In My Family

Please nairalanders i kindly need your advice on this family issue. my elder bro met this girl sometime last two years after having too many disappointments in relationship. he said he wants to finally settle down that he is tired of waiting and disappointments.

Now the serious problem is both of them are genotype AS, but my brother does not care, he still wants to go ahead with the marriage. He is saying he has faith and hope in God that nothing will happen. even my parents are not helping matters, my parents are strong church elders and they are even saying my brother should pray that God can change things.

I am so pained with my parents stand on this issue knowing the severe consequence that follows. i was hoping they would outrightly dissolve the relationship but no they are hoping on God. What pains me the most is that the girl herself is a nurse, she knows better than everybody but yet she is not considering that.

Right now i hate the girl because she is coming to ruin the life of bro's unborn children

Nigeria is a nation that is made up of 36 states and capitals. Some of these states have cities were businesses thrives in Nigeria, thereby increasing the economic base the country. Most of the cities that are populated, consist of the Igbos, Yoruba's and Hausas, different people of different tribes.

Here are the list of the Most Populous Cities in Nigeria with their figures
Lagos – 21,642, 797
Kano – 3, 626, 068
Ibadan – 3, 500, 000
Abuja – 3, 000, 000
Port Harcourt – 1, 947, 000
Kaduna – 1, 652, 844
Ogbomoso 1, 500,000
Benin – 1, 400, 000
Aba – 1, 277, 300
Maiduguri – 1, 200, 000
Zaria – 1, 018, 827
Jos – 900, 000
Ilorin – 847, 582
Enugu – 722, 664

Onitsha – 509, 500
Warri – 500, 900
Sokoto – 500, 500
Okene – 444, 900

From the above most populous cities in Nigeria, there is no doubt that Lagos is the most populated city in Nigeria, due to her environment which is suitable for business to thrive.

Since when did Lagos become a city?. The last i checked Lagos is a state like Rivers, Kano, Anambra etc

You did not tell us if you are obese , what is your BMI?
Do you have foul breathe ?
Do you ave poor sense of smell?
Do an abdominal ultrasound with emphasis on liver, probably fatty liver

AnamCity:
Taking shape. I suspect they will mount the Verranazos at the other exit behind this. The entire skyline is being transformed.

Nice looking flyover no doubt; but each time I look at this flyover i can only think about its limitation. A clover-leaf design would have suited that location the most. The only way that flyover will be fit-for-purpose is to make Ifite Road one-way and do another under pass at 'step' for those of us who are very familiar with the location. How will vehicle coming from Enugu enter Ifite Road, except they are planning to have a Round About to divert and manage the steep turn.

LadyFiona:
I have the conviction too. I made a comment sometime ago about Ideani junction deathtrap gully and I've noticed actions from Uke axis.
Good they are listening to the people on ground not the damned-empty-pocket sycophants.

The undeniable truth is that your State Governor is not only visiting the site, he is a registered and an active contributing member. I will not disclose his user ID though. Anambra can be the best and in the words of Chino, "We want an Independent State of Anambra". A state that all the conterminous states and beyond will be dependent on. It is achievable, please join hands to spread the Light to the Nation and beyond. God Bless You All and Yes, we can

@pandax I was looking forward to your February prediction. Now you have changed it to a date anyone could have mentioned given the circumstance. This your "US" statement is like a ballerina on a thin rope suspended from two PHCN poles.

Expect to hear from us latest by the Q2 of the year. It would have been this Q1 but because of one or two reasons which we all know. Goodluck to you and Nigeria!

First postponement- Ebola
Second postponement- Management trainings was going on

Results delay- Several factors

Please, Am i the only one not seeing the uploaded pictures lol?

You need to visit the site, I know security men will not alway you to enter but siten the hotel will change your perception, for my opinion and haven visited the site they are doing magnificent job from the road and two bridges that lead to the hotel, I believe when they are through with the landscaping the beauty will pump-out, since is for tourist the building is ok.

Do you want me to change 'them' to 'us'. Goodluck to you!, Goodluck to everyone!, Goodluck to Nigeria!,

baddo:
@pandax what date was your interview and was this the information relayed to you on that day?

Maxmayor:
@ Baddo: Mine was on the 13th October and I have not heard anything from anyone IRO the result.

expect to hear from them around February, next year. Good Luck anyways!
