Ekwulobia flyover is the first-ever state government flyover in the Southeast to be built with prestressed concrete technology. It's also the second in the Southeast, following Second Niger Bridge. Then, why this melancholic outburst? I reminisce a time a group of people were jubilating here publicizing a false video that Gov. Soludo's one week constructed road at Ochanja section was washed off by floods, a few hours later the real truth came out, and the entire allegation was debunked. Within a very short time henceforth, the worst happened in Abịa, Pepple's Road, Aba in particular, where the entire long stretched span of already constructed road was entirely washed off by floods. I wrote it here, someone demanded for a video, I posted a video even with a link made by Yangalife, yet some were still defending it, perhaps until they saw the viral video of it, and it was swept under the carpet. Then, I got to know how sentimental, selfish, myopic and gullible some people arguing here are, hence living in abysmal ignorance but claiming to be wise.

Gucciboy:
Tell the truth for once and stop this sycophancy because it won't help us. Ekwuluobia flyover is a pedestrian bridge not even single lane for two(2) cars to pass.

I was in ekwuluobia in January and l was disappointed to be honest.

Moreso, if not for the fight against regional segregation to make Akanu Ibiam an international airport, which was masterminded by Ndị Anambra in particular, and when approved was only given a carrier (Ethiopian Airlines) for its international operation. Akanu Ibiam Airport would have been moribund. Anyone can do a research to elicit the majority of the people patronizing Akanu Ibiam Airport for its international exercise if not Ndị Anambra.

Obiora you are yapping nonsense. Imo airport is over 30yrs old. Enugu airport is over 40yrs old. Anambra airport is about 3yrs old. One would expect that Imo and Enugu airports should be as busy at PH airport at least, but it still at the same level with Anambra airport that was built yesterday. Now look at it from that perspective, then you will realize that Anambra is the busiest so far in SE. I don’t care where your mom chose to land, but the truth is that 99% of Anambra people use Anambra airport, the only time I used Asaba airport was when I checked on air peace, then I realised that all the flights were booked even one week in advance. Other than that most residents of Onitsha, Awka, Nnewi and all the hinterlands prefer to use Anambra airport.

NwekereNdokl:
Stop defending nonsense and embarrassing yourself. You asked for evidence and he showed you but because you want to continue to live in denial that’s why you are foolishly deceiving yourself. If the topic of that video is changed to Anambra , your tone of argument will change immediately . Mumu people

Do not mind him, it is only to insult people he knows. May God help him.

FatherOfJesus:
Show me evidence for this.

Of when the road was constructed and when it washed off

NwekereNdokl:
Even when your backward useless Enugu state has nothing to show

During the last downpour in Aba, a road section which Gov. Otti constructed under a week got blatantly washed off. I had overtime expected the gullible and myopic critics to post it here as they did for Anambra, knowing fully well that the propagated falsehood campaign of Ochanja road section fairy tale was masterminded and spread by the haters of good things, haters of good governance and haters of Anambra State.

AWESOME!!! This is truly massive.

I can see some people have suddenly become dumb since Soludo made the revelation. Well ,let Obiano clear his name if not LET HIM ROT IN JAIL!

You sound phenomenal and hypothetical, and that's calumny. Always be objective in your expression.

Chikeluba25:
Fake.
I don't blame you. I blame those half cooked self acclaimed media reports who fed you with nonsense. Is it that you did not watch the video or you don't understand simple English.

Soludo clearly stated that they are still doing account and documentation. The N300million is just for one account out of many as at 31st December last year.

As a professional economist, he "Soludo" will not make what is not yet confirmed known to public. It's obvious that Africans do not listen/read to understand but to oppose.

Do not mind the detractors. All they care about is how to tarnish Obiano's image for nothing. But EFCC had committed an ostensible error, and must pay through its ass for it.

NkanuSon:
About 20 people killed in a burial in awka,this monsters that Igbo's are supporting will surely consume us very soon.They said its a cult clash but a sane person know these are the same people running activities for ipob

It's Ebenebe, Awka North Local Government Area.

AmericanQuarter:
In Nigeria, only Abuja and Lagos international airports can stand side by side with the Anambra international airport. Cool

The Federal Government of Nigeria needs to carry out a holistic maintenance on MMIA runways. The runways are already an eyesore. The carousel is equally in a very bad shape. I don't know much about Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja because I have not taken off or returned through the airport. Murtala Mohamed international Airport is the worst disgrace to Nigerians with the huge budgetary provision to the aviation ministry. What a shame. Nonsense....

Rocksvibes234:
Nice
Some days ago some people were arguing the size of awka millennium city with other estates in enugu, owerri and asaba and from 5.48 section of this video I learnt that it's a 10,000 hectares estate according to his excellency. And it's going to be the first and best smart city in SE upon completion.

This is actually what some people are arguing without facts, comparing a 10,000 hectares smart city to 2000 and 3,000 hectares in enugu and owerri.
Nawa for you guys ooo


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYXx4undk9o

Anyone who compares Awka Millennium City to an ordinary estate has zero experience of Real Estate. You only compare Awka Millennium City to Eko Atlantic City if there is need for such, which is twenty five square kilometres, that is approximately two thousand five hundred hectares. Still you can still see size gap. Awka Millennium City is the only planned smartest city in Nigeria currently.

globemoney01:
All the cases the laid from the beginning in order to stop Soludo is being thrashed out by the courts, I wonder why they hate Soludo this much.

Real people love Soludo beyond measures. Those few kicking against him are demagogues, political miscreants, apostates, renegades and enemies to the state. They are shameless and gullible failure.

Omanambala:
Anambra is too dusty and dry!! It makes the environment look third world-ish depressing. Something must be don't immediately to change to mentality of our people in caring for the environment.

Can you tell us a place in Africa that is not dusty? Even Lesotho, and some parts of Africa's regions that experience winter. Are they not as dusty as Nigeria? Not to talk about the Gulf region in the middle East Asia. Some writeups here are illogical and biased.

No victor and no vanquish.
Everybody is a winner. We have no other state, but only Anambra. Let us come together as one and work. Let everyone sheath his sword and support the itinerant scholar and countless domestic and international award winner, professor Cee Cee Soludo.

Congratulations Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo!!!

EasternActivist:
Abatete cancelled by LGA collation officer due to electoral fraud.

This is good for INEC image

Good. Did I not say it here? APC tugs harassed people and made away with all electoral materials in Abatete. In their infinitesimal, gullible and maladjusted mentally deranged thought, they came out with outrageous figures. What an idiocy.

stasius:
Yes... So far Soludo is leading in 20 local governments including Idemilli North where there was massive rigging in Abatete.
YPP is leading in Nnewi North too.

They have all failed. Enemies of progress. Soludo had been anointed by God Almighty to continue lifting Anambra higher than imagination. They started from APGA primary election to different High Courts, to different Courts of Appeal, and to the Supreme Court. They were all buried alive. They will soon start fighting against one another. Dem neva c something. Bunch of gullible hypocrites in abysmal living conditions.

TabletMan:
The results I am seeing from abatete is highly unbelievable and unlikely.
That means APC is already cruising to victory if the results are to stand.

Which results. Abatete election that was marred with electoral malpractices by the APC.
Electioneering is not a do or die affair my brother. Many people decamped from APGA, thinking that working against APGA would secure them a greener pasture. They are in dilemma now, feeling ashamed of themselves. What a hypocrite?

TheIstOfHisName:
Community P/S II - Idemili North

Abatete

This is what I warned about on the eve of the election. But some people thought they knew it all. APC has just kicked off their rigging pattern. The same Idemili North.

Which one is Community Primary School 11 Idemili North and Ifite Agbeje 1. They are not Polling Units. Post authentic results.

How the election would be won and lost via senatorial districts

Anambra North: Charles Chukwuma Soludo

Anambra Central: Valentine Ozigbo

Anambra South: Would swing for Charles Chukwuma Soludo or Valentine Ozigbo.

Andy Ubah might emerge governor- elect by few political tactics. He might be banking on the method that sprang Okezie Ikpeazu as the governor-elect of Abia state in 2015 general elections. Should he (Andy Ubah) be trailing third which would very easy for him, considering the waves of defections to his party. He would most likely rig his way in by a result of an LGA that would be lost in the morning and found in the night. This LGA is most likely to be Idemili North. A manipulated result such as

IDEMILI NORTH

APC: 88,567
APGA: 4,767
PDP: 3, 567
TOTAL:......

Presenting such result from an LGA with a huge difference from the frontrunner, would neutralise the total summation of votes and spring him from a third placer to the 1st.

Ikpeazu used this tactics in 2015 with results from Obingwa and Osisioma Ngwa LGAs , which returned over 80% votes to him and would displace Alex Otti of APGA who was the first placer in other LGAs.

I wish all the candidates the best of luck tomorrow.

Such an evil trance is not needed here.

TheIstOfHisName:
I never rooted for any candidate in my post. I just gave a personal insight in the grand scheme of things.

Anambra central is the home of Peter Obi, Uche Ekwunife and the Chidokas. Anambra Central that twice humiliated the former APGA chairman, Victor Umeh at his senatorial races. However you arrived at that district been an APGA stronghold is quiet amazing.

But those guys were there in 2017, and APGA swept every nook and cranny, including Obi's community/Local Government. I really understood your point of view. I only wanted to point it out to the guys out there who are hoping on electoral malpractices/rigging for APC to be logical.

Do not think or assume illogical. That was Abia, this is Anambra. Anambra central has the largest population of voters, and it's being dominated by APGA. Andy Ubah is just a demagogue. No pedigree or track record. Zero charisma for power control.

I don't care about the abysmal politics the NSA plays due to the current guber election around the corner. Anambra International Cargo and Passenger Airport is currently the best airport in Nigeria. Going against the already scheduled commercial flight opening of the airport would not give the APC guber candidate a pinch of chance. Take it or leave it, Soludo has no parity or match. APGA is an inimitable party with a visionary and realistic road map. Uttering calumnies against Obiano, Soludo or APGA due to party affiliates is indeed a crime against humanity, hence has a repercussion.

abnot:
If the airport got certified as they claim they should post a scanned copy of the certification for us to see. Bayelsa airport was completed by Seriake dickson. An airpeace flight conveying the CEO, ben bruce and some other dignitaries got approval to land at the airport in 2019 . Seriake dickson also landed at the airport in a chartered aircraft a number of times. But NCAA did not certify the airport for commercial operations till just a few months ago (2 years later). One of the issues NCAA raised was the perimeter fencing around the water not meeting their security specification. Commercial flights (united nigeria airline) began operations only about 2 months ago. There was no dragging of NCAA. Today same air peace has stopped operating into Makurdi after a short stint following airport certification issues. RCCG recently sold its helicopter after issues with NCAA. Air peace plan to launch its route to London has been pending with NCAA for 3 years (the CEO himself mentioned that). After the medview ban NCAA seems to have introduced their own processes before allowing a nigerian registered airline to apply for EASA Third country Operator (TCO) .

Air peace is suffering from owner-manager syndrome where the owner (allen onyema) is making decisions that a professional airline manager will not do. The decision to sell tickets with the assumption that NCAA will approve the October 30 flight was most likely the doing of allen onyema and willie obiano for political reasons. No professional run airline will rush to start operations into a new airport. After the replacment of Enugu airport runway ethiopian airline announced resumption date and moved it a few times citing security and other issues. Today ethiopian has resumed operations there after a number of back and forth .

I'll like to also add that when airpeace bought three jets from embraer this 2021 they went through a lot of regulatory tests before putting the aircrafts into commercial use. Before scaling through the regulatory hurdles they still flew empty to a number of airports to simulate their operations as a company before the demonstration flights with NCAA begun. It was after this they launched commercial operations on the new aircraft. Aircrafts are not Cars. Same way Airports are not motor parks.

Stop spreading false information. Bayelsa Airport was done below standard, with just one runway, and a rework was carried out, same with Asaba Airport or Akanu Ibiam International Airport. So, do not bring Bayelsa Airport/Asaba Airport/Akanu Ibiam International Airport and Anambra Airport side by side. Why did you not mention Aminu Kano International Airport or Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport? Which are still in all round far below standard to be compared to Anambra International Airport.

bba121:
Anambra Airport is a small airport with one runway and no terminal buildings. Since the airport has only one runway, it is limited to serving smaller aircraft, such as propeller-driven aircraft or turbojet airliners.

There are two airlines that fly there: Nigeria Express Airways and AEF Airlines. When you're on your way to Anambra Airport for your flight, be sure to get in some horizontal time at some Lagos attractions like the Blowholes of Badagry or explore Colonial heritage museums like Boji Town Palace Museum while you're waiting for your passenger departure time. Lagos is also home to the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (NIA), which welcomes flights from all over Asia.

Be careful of how you spread false information.

Chikeluba25:
My fear with Maduka is that he may end up being a 2nd Rochas. Which one is 21universities in the 21LGA.
Ozigbo is good but not better than Soludo. He may end up being controlled by PDP forces.

After Soludo, the next close person is Obiora Okonkwo, then Godwin Maduka. Ozigbo is far academic wise and experience wise.

stasius:
It is certain that the people who are bent on causing mayhem in Anambra are not Ndị Anambra.

They are haters from other states.

They have all failed, and continued to bring imprecation and nemeses upon themselves and their generations. They were all thinking the Supreme Court would give verdicts yesterday on the contrary, but they were all disgraced and put to shame. Do not fight whom God has anointed. Anambra leads across all facets in Africa. Truly the Light of the Nation.

Omo Soludo manifesto na full university course o!

I read till page 27 which is already loaded and elaborate and he is still telling me that he will elaborate more at other sections of the manifesto

I check page number am still at 27/72 pages

How ifeanyi uba and Andy uba fit compete with this one?

Truth be told, Soludo is incomparable. Countless awards winner, locally and internationally. Perfect and structured manifesto across all spheres of perfect governance. The great professor of economics with perfection across every cadre of management.

TabletMan:
Airport is not the only project Engr Umahi is after. He have completed school of health, big market , shopping mall, conference/worship center and he built solid concrete roads across the many towns in the state.
What more do you want him to do if not those projects some angry and negative people will call elephant projects? Do you want him to call his brothers scattered around Nigeria and start dashing them free money just for the sake of poverty alleviation? He knows that Ebonyi don't have the capability to handle the airport that's why he said they will hand it over to FG for proper management. Appreciate good work when you see it and don't castigate especially when the person you're castigating is better than the one you're praising.

Dave Umahi is just a demagogue. He so much believes that creating unnecessary and unwarranted atmospheric dinning and false criticism would make him find his way to enrich his stomach infrastructure. He has poor professional competency and lacks integrity. People who know Ohaozara should list his achievements within the area, and that is his local government area. Umahi is just a hungry politician who joined politics in 2007 as an acting state chairman of PDP. Then, ran with Martin Elechi from 2011 to 2015 for the post of a deputy governor. Embarking on an airport project without a holistic feasibility study is a clear evidence, now he is looking for where to borrow money to finance the project. He is not a good financial manager, only holds a Bachelor of Engineering Degree in Civil Engineering from Enugu State University of Science and Technology. If anyone ever compares him with Obiano that means the person is a coward.

Ogbuefi2020:
check the soil, its erosion prone

Check which soil? Are you a pedologist? Do you think environmental impact assessment was not carried out prior to the project? Besides, Umueri is hundred percent erosion free. Did you make use of aero-magnetic survey, or you just assumed? Hahahahahhahaahaha....... Anambra International Cargo/Passenger Airport is a monumental project. Do not think it would easily be started without complying with all safety and environmental rules and policies across board via supervision of Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority and International Civil Aviation Organization.

No Person With Forged Certificates Will Govern Anambra, Says Soludo
IndependentSep 16, 2021 10:09 AM

Candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) for the November 6 governorship election, Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo says no person with forged certificates will govern Anambra state.

He stated this at an interactive session with political appointees at the Prof. Dora Akunyili Women Development Centre Awka.

Soludo said a state like Anambra where intellectual giants like Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, Chuba Okadigbo, Prof. Dora Akunyili, Prof. Chinua Achebe, Dr. Alex Ekwueme, Chief Emeka Anyaoku and a host of other great scholars can not be administered by those with questionable certificates and ill-gotten credentials.

The former CBN governor said he has no apologies whatsoever for those with fraudulent certificates and that the Anambra people must not be deceived by their political merchandising and absolute desperation to clinch governmental powers.

Although he noted that there may be successful businessmen but according to him, those prosperous businessmen didn’t entrust their businesses in the hands of people who forged NECO and WAEC results.

Soludo, therefore, queried why the fate of about 15 million Anambra citizens should be entrusted with an individual with forged credentials, stressing that he has no apologies for persons with questionable pedigree and would continue to say it loud that Anambra state doesn’t deserve persons with questionable characters as governors.

He however maintained that the duo of Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo and Dr. Onyekachukwu Ibezim were better qualified, poised and experienced to serve Ndi-Anambra and not other characters jostling and scrambling for political power by all means.

Soludo stated that the first strategy opposition elements and their cronies adopted was to ensure that INEC didn’t publish his name which he said were evident in all the kangaroo court processes intended to stop him from contesting the November 6 governorship election.

He however emphasized that he has a message for his opponents and the message is that he will contest and win the governorship election irrespective of machinations against him.
