Will Okonjo Iweala accept this appointment? 🤔

I think she is too big for this kind of appointment.

There are Yoruba and Hausa names on the list. Those who say Igbo should not vote in Lagos State, how far?

Your parochial enclavement has made your reasoning to be myopic in outlook. We need professionals from across the world to build economies of envy. Otti of Abia is what we hoped that Soludo of Anambra would be. Unfortunately, it is all talk and no action for Soludo.

Bikonu Ndi Abia, we (Anambra) will sign Otti in 2031 to do for us what he is doing for Abia now

Dey play...Cote D'Ivoire will top the group with 9 points, you know what that means

Although my heart says a win for Nigeria today, but my head says a win for Cote D'Ivoire, for the first time I hope my head is not correct

Any time Owngoalnigeria.com publishes our tactics, lineup, and formation at least 6 hours before any match, Nigeria tends not to win that match, and it will not be different today. Watch out!

Class 98 of St Peter’s Special Science celebrates silver jubilee

By O’star Eze

The sky was indeed blue at Awka, Anambra State Capital, recently as captains of industries, professors and accomplished men from various walks of life who were Class of ‘98 at St Peter’s Special Science School, Achina in their checkered blue suit, gathered to celebrate their 25 years of graduating from the institution.

The National President of the Old Boys Association, Reverend Fr Evaristus Ibenegbu, in his pep talk, thanked God for the special talents that comprise the 98 set, taking time to narrate how the set’s valuable inputs had helped keep the association afloat.

He thanked the chairman of the set, Engr Leo Chika Ilozumba and Engr Dr Chidiebere Okolo, the current vice president of the group, for being great pillars in the association and enjoined the class to continue in their noble efforts to keep the memories and legacies of St Peter’s Special Science School, Achina alive and well.

“Celebration is as important as work in every human’s life and one should make celebration an essential part of one’s life to be fulfilled,” Fr Evaristus opined.

In his speech, the set chairman, Engr Leo Ilozumba thanked members of his set for being so supportive of the silver jubilee project. He expressed his delight at the success of the silver jubilee celebration adding that the reunion has made him and other members of his set to see many of their members they had not seen for years.

Highlight of the event was the presentation of award of recognition to individuals who have shown exceptional support to the set, which was done with the assistance of the association’s Anambra State chairman, Comrade Chibuike Ogunwa, the National President elect of the association, Engr Emeka Offiah, and the representative for the ‘99 set, Comrade Osita Eze. There was also the cutting of their jubilee cake as well as a dance session by members of the set and their family members in attendance.

LOL
20ft King post? Common now! That’s over 3human beings standing ontop of themselves! Why should ur reach be dat high? I think 7ft is ok

7ft kingpost with stone coated steptiles?, You want to be calling installers every now and then for maintenance. The FUNCTIONAL minimum from his plan should be 16ft, but it might not be aesthetically appealing to the eyes.

wunmi590:
Don't forget that quality should also be followed, so that they won't go and do shabby job, just because of 200k price difference

Probably same quality of step tiles by the 3 companies.
Eh
Company A quote = 240sqm
Company B quote = 300sqm
Company C quote = 295sqm

Please go with Company A as they are probably more efficient with installation of Steptiles . Companies B and C will probably waste your materials to exhaust all the Steptiles you bought, as you pay them per SQM installed

LOVEALAIGBO:
You make good points!

The three south-east governors i have high hopes for and can see they have the capacity, desire and vision to deliver are Otti, Soludo and Mbah! Of the three, Otti has navigated the secession/Biafra/IPOB issue the best, but all three have their hearts in the right place and genuinely mean well for their people!

Besides one or two missteps, i don’t think Soludo and Mbah have done as badly in handling the Biafra issue as some suggest. After all, both have repeatedly called for the release of Mazi Kanu to help douse tension in the region, and help isolate and identify the 5th-columnists and state agents fomenting insecurity in the region just so IPOB and Mazi Kanu can be blamed! Soludo in particular has been making this call for the release of Mazi Kanu since the time of Buhari up till now, but the Buhari/Tinubu hegemonic alliance has ignored these calls! The one misstep Mbah made was to invite the murderous Nigerian security to police the protest in Enugu on the sealing of businesses that didn’t open on Mondays, in which one poor soul was shot dead! I hope he’s guided better in future, and doesn’t toe the line of some useless governor in the south-east who delights in inviting the murderous Nigerian army to murder his citizens and burn down entire villages!

Given the nature of the political-economy we are subjected to in Nigeria, south-east governors have a very delicate balancing act to manage: they try not to offend their people, who are rightfully despondent and fed up with Nigeria, while at the same time trying not to antagonise the Fulani/Yoruba hegemonic alliance that is clearly anti-Igbo and looking for any excuse to work against Igbo interests!

I agree with you especially on Otti, Soludo and Mbah making the right noise and on track to develop our region. The 2024 budget of these 3 governors followed same trajectory and full of ambitions for disruptive change.

Hmmm the other two, I do not understand their allegiance, especially the supreme court governor

I have gotten to roofing stage of this 3 bedroom Bungalow
I want to use step tiles roof and I have added the roofing sheet sample.
I want to do the roofing next week
Anyone with idea of how much it will cost.
I have added image and size.

Approximately 240sqm of stone coated steptiles (240 * 4200 = N1.008m) with kingpost height of between 20 - 23 feet. Wood will cost around 700k , roughly 74m of ridge caps at N1700 per m(700*1700=N125.8k), 3pkts of treated nails at 30k and 1 bag each of 3 & 2 inches nails. Workmanship like 75k for step tikes installation and 130k for wood skeleton

Budget 2.2m

Advice, get about 3 reputable company to measure your SQM and give the job to the company that quoted least quantity

Pakute:
Wike needs no introduction, he is a spartacus extraordinaire. The most powerful minister who derives his authority directly from Mr.President. He's in charge of FCT where all security and command centers are domiciled. Wike walks in and out of the office of the Chief Of Staff. dine and wine together at leisure, he also receives and hosts foreign diplomats on the behalf of the President. Wike has once again proved to be a political strategist, guess he's learning fast from Jagaban.
The defection of 27 loyal lawmakers was a perfect strategy to keep Fubara in check. Wherever Fubara goes whether APC or remaining in PDP, he meets Wike right there. If he defect to LP, he's finished!. The situation of Fubara is quite different from that of Obaseki, Obaseki got away because Oshiomole at the time had become ordinary, stripped off his powers and return back to his village in Edo. That heiped Obaseki scaled smoothly but with Wike, the seat is currently very hot on Fubara's ass.
PREDICTION- Wike wins, Fubara loses.

Instead of thinking about how to deliver dividend of democracy to the people, you enumerated how a godfather will keep a godson down at the expense of the populace. Perfect reason why we are still a third-world

SSFeedsNigeria:
I once saw data from the 1960’s that showed how the old Eastern region (comprising the entire SE with Rivers, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom and Cross River) was the fastest growing economy in Nigeria, and among the fastest in the world. The region was registering new businesses far more than Western and northern regions combined! Then the civil war happened in 1967-70 and that momentum was lost. The region turned into a sorry state. New centers of growth and investments shifted to Lagos/Oyo and Kano/Kaduna axis.

Infrastructure in the East decayed. Investments fled the region. Even Igbos themselves abandoned their region and instead chose to invest in the new centers of growth outside their region. Onitsha deterioted. Aba decayed. Enugu, Owerri, Nnewi, Awka, Umuahia, Abakilike etc. became glorified villages. People looked down on those that choose to remain in the East as unambitious people who don’t want to make it big in life.

From the 1980’s, 1990’s and up to early 2000’s there were constant religious riots in the North, and each time it occurred, Igbos and their investments became targets. As a result, calls for “aku ruo ulo” which loosely means “bring your investments home” became rife but unfortunately, the East was still in a very bad shape. This pushed Igbos to start making demands from their governors on infrastructure improvements. Having realized that North was no longer safe for them and their investments, Igbos began to move massively into Lagos & Abuja in the interim, along with their investments. Not long after, the aku ruo ulo calls began to yield dividends as Igbo investments began to trickle into their region.

As Igbo population & assets in Lagos spiked, Yorubas began to get uncomfortable. Then 2023 election happened & they weaponized tribalism. Several Igbo dominated markets got burnt. It was followed by the demolition of houses and plazas in Igbo dominated areas too. Just like North in the previous years, Igbos also realized that Lagos isn’t safe for them and their investments too.

Almost same situation that occurred in the North in the years prior to 2000, is now occurring in the West. The period Igbos began to abandon North coincided with its economic collapse. I’m not saying that North collapsed economically because Igbos abandoned it but several other factors added to it.

Now, calls for Igbos to divest away from Lagos region is happening at a period foreign investors are also abandoning the region. Lagos/SW loss now becomes SE gain as investments are now pouring into the East in an unprecedented manner. What makes it more remarkable is that SE is rising when other regions are stagnating or even regressing.

Just like in the 1960’s when the civil war truncated the rise of the East, Igbos should avoid history repeating itself. You can make IPOB or ESN your pressure group but never escalate things to unmanageable crises level.

Another good thing is that Nigeria is finally being restructured without many being aware. The North may or may not be aware that Nigeria is being restructured against their age long hindrance to it. However, there is little or nothing they can do to stop it. Fuel subsidy removal, unbundling of power generation and distribution, removal of certain things from the exclusive list etc are restructuring that will make regions grow at their own pace. This is the opportunity Igbos need to roar back like the Asian Tigers and it is gratifying to note that the prognosis indicate positive signs. Aba, Onitsha and Nnewi are back on track. SME’s and manufacturing in the SE is thriving once again.

Unfortunately for the northern region, they failed to invest in Human Resources. If Tinubu sustains the covert restructuring, the region is likely to collapse further without new investments and rising insecurity. With foreign investors also fleeing Lagos region & Igbos doing same, the SE is now poised to become the new axis of growth in Nigeria. Also, with AFTCA now in place, Lagos no longer has locational advantage like in the past, when ECOWAS was the trading region. Now, the entire Africa is, and SE is well positioned between West and Central Africa.

Igbos can truly achieve their mission even within a dysfunctional BUT DECENTRALIZED Nigeria.

Nothing to add. The game is ongoing, Anambra, Abia and Enugu onboard already. Imo is playing APC politics and Ebonyi is 50% onboard. The good news is that Aniomas of Delta and Igboid groups in Rivers got the memo.

We can build the metaphorical Biafra in Nigeria. Africa is our playground now

Thanks once more. I am sure you are an ADF think-tank.

Norsemann:
Na statistics we go chop?



Certificate forging maggot of cocaine sniffer 2022

Tinubu became president with roughly 30% of the votes cast and that makes him a minority president. As a minority president he ought to have made a pan Nigeria appointments, but he chose parochial ethnocentristic approach. I do not envy him, as without restructuring, he will be the undertaker of Nigeria.

Ifeanyi Ubah: Am In APC to Rescue Anambra From 20 Years Political Stagnation.

By OGEMDI OZOEMENAM

The Senator representing Anambra South Senatorial District, Senator Dr Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah has said he joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) to bring meaningful development to Anambra State that has eluded the state for the past 20 years.

He regretted that the state has been politically stagnant for 20 years under the grip of the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), but now he is in APC to help connect Anambra to the centre to actualise meaningful but sustainable development to the state as the gateway to the Southeast.

Senator Ubah stated this in Awka during an event organised by APC, Anambra State Chapter to welcome him, Senator Uche Lilian Ekwunife, their supporters and other new members into the party.

He lambasted Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo for failure to conduct Local Government election after two years in power, against what he promised Ndi Anambra during the 2021 Governorship election.


According to him, it is incapacity for a leader not to provide opportunities for his teeming youths, stressing that 1youth,2skills of Soludo administration is a mere jamboree.

Also speaking, Senator Uche Ekwunife thanked the APC party faithful for accepting them into the fold and promised that she would do her best to ensure that the party gains traction in the state.

She however called on party faithful to support the drive to move the party forward in the state with the aim to galvanise the party towards truly connecting to the centre.

While welcoming the new members into APC, the State Chairman of the party, Chief Basil Ejidike expressed happiness to receive such personalities with great political pedigree into their fold and called on them to be diligent in propagating the internal harmony of the party in Anambra state.

He called for unity, commitment and discipline in the party and frowned at indiscipline, anti-party sentiments and disloyalty to party leaders in order to properly reposition APC in the state.

Chief Ejidike reiterated that the reward system in the party will be enhanced to sustain trust and therefore pleaded for federal government appointments, which he said before now, have been given to non-APC members in the state.

My Anambra is doing well, and we have been in the right hands for nearly 20 years now. We don't want your APC or that leaking umbrella party near our state. We jump and pass!

Go to google and type the most developed cities in Nigeria with your own phone and see if ibadan won’t be among top 10 any day any time. Stop the hate and stupidity and if you won’t stop, we are ready for you




Apart from Lagos, the giant of west Africa, we have Ogun state, the most industrious state in Nigeria, we have Ibadan, one of the most developed cities in Nigeria. We have enough to beat our chest, yes, the Nigerian economy is in the hands of southwest so we can be proud. It’s out right. What do you have in southeast to boast of?

Anambra is coming for Ogun and will surpass it by 2030. We are aiming to dust your Lagos by 2050. South Korea overtook Nigeria within 10 years and Singapore hid their really GDP for 15 years, and Anambra is currently using same strategy. I know of a company in Anambra that is paying 500m monthly as tax, only one company. Anambra is under declaring its IGR for a putpose now

The Word of God in 1 Corinthians 10:13 came through in your life. God has strengthened you and its time for you to strengthen others (Luke 22:32), and this your testimony is one way of doing that, as we overcometh the devil by the Blood of Lamb and words of our own testimony (Rev 12:11).

Kudos to Governor Otti for his relentless efforts at giving a new lease of life to the long suffering people of Abia state.

But Dave Umahi has announced a ban on the use of laterite as base for road foundation, why is the Chinese company still using it, even if its an old contract it can still be reviewed to improve quality and reduce failure of the road, not after one rainy season and its back to dilapidation

Please where did you see laterite in any of the pictures?

Top of the day to everyone here, special regards to okada riders and people who transport themselves using okada as a means of transportation.
If I'm not going to exaggerate, whenever you are on an okada, you have a higher chance of getting killed or injured than someone in a vehicle.(Please let's play safe out there)
On the 15th of November 2023, I sold my laptop just to raise money in order to get a bike on hire purchase make man dey use guide as work no dey.
On the 18th of November 2023, I got the bike on hire purchase with a very good man who I see as a father standing as a guarantor for me in other to get the bike.(I no get any family member for here, na OYO I dey)
On 20th November 2023, I started hustling with the bike, sadly I ran into loss that day because I was extorted by some police officers for dropping someone in front of police station(2k wey I don make that day, Dem collect am for my hand), I went home with just 200#.
On 21 November 2023, I say make I manage the small fuel wey dey to get little change, in 2 hours time I don make 1k after I buy fuel of 2litres. On my way home to find something chop, I see person carry😭, on our way, the most scariest and most frightening moment of my life occurred, a speeding vehicle ram into us and if I'm not mistaken I saw an angel, not a good angel to see but angel of death. Well I woke up on an hospital bed, some good Samaritan took us there. May those people be BLESSED wherever they are even though the other passenger gave up the ghost(May your soul rest in peace sir, may your family be consoled).
On 28 November 2023,I'm back home from the hospital,helpless and hopeless because 1.my source of income is damaged(the bike is badly damaged😭)
2.my leg is no longer balanced( na tamurege I dey do now)
3. Hunger wan kill me( may those nurses be blessed beyond measures, I was fed by them for a WHOLE WEEK I was there, I hope to go back to say ? thank you one more time and show my appreciations soon)
4. The thought of the dead man(the man I carried), my mind has not been stable, I'm feeling a weird sadness to the extent of wanting to kill myself because I think I have blood on my hand.
5. How to pay monthly payment for the bike and I don't want to disappoint the hirer as this is even the first payment I will make, I don't want to come across as an untrustworthy person(their is a clause in the agreement which states, " payment to be made monthly irregardless of any circumstances"
Let me not bore you with much details, I'm just wishing every okada rider and passenger safety and please car drivers should be gentle with us because should an accident occur, the tendency of the driver getting injured is low and minimal( the man that hit us didn't stop, he escaped, I'm sure the only loss he will bear is the damages to his car unlike the passenger i carried who paid the ultimate price and I whose bike got damaged and my body damaged as well. Na food we dey find, make we no find wetin go use us as food. And please okada riders too should be careful, stop feeling like a ghost Rider, small fall like this, na your body go hear am or make you even kpai, life na one, abeg reason your loved ones wey go miss you if you kpai.
Abeg house, na una help I need.

I hope the state government will get a seasoned advisor to expand the fiscal space through targeted philanthropy and fundraising for hospitals, public schools, waterworks and roadworks.

For city roads they need to create a roadworks fund raised from both residential and commercial property tax and vehicle tax. Awka and Onitsha have at least 50-100,000 rental units each and more than 20,000 shops. They should be able to raise 5-10b for a road fund per year.

For those willing to tar their roads they should give them the privilege of renaming it after themselves.

Always giving sound perspectives on topical issues of the state. This administration will surely profit from your suggestions. Keep it up!

Soludo is currently making the right noise. I hope it will be sustained, so our dear State can explode economically
