Ngwakwe: Orji Kalu gave free education for Eight years of his term to SS3.

He opened Evening and Night Schools for illiterate market woman and men during same period providing books for them.

He built Ohabiam Electronics Market and repair Ama-Ikonne by Faulks road that people said it will take human head before it will be motor-able.

He built bridge linking Ngwa Road to Ogbor Hill Aba.

He built new general hospital at Abayi, Aba and equipped it.

He rebuilt Enyimba Stadium to 33,000 capacity before CAF approved it for international competitions.

Enyimba was two times champions of Africa back to back under his watch.

Sincere 9gerian: @Op.,fantastic article. I learnt alot.

The coup of 1966 did incalculable damage to this country. Apart from leading to a civil war, it also wiped out the structures that produced the likes of the Great Alvan Ikoku

Dede1: South-south is an invention of yesterday. When King Jojo of Opu Obu sent his son, Prince Sunday Jojo, to study in royal college of London, Opu Obu was and still remains in the east.

PortHarcourtBoy: His Son, Late Prof. Chi Ikoku was the best Petroleum and Gas Engineer Africa ever produced.

His books in Petroleum Engineering are still widely used in American and Canadian Universities.

For your info, he designed the NLNG Bonny Process Trains and other notable Oil and Gas processes around the globe

Alvan's Daughter Inlaw, (Chi Ikoku's Wife) Late Dr. Mrs Ikoku was a renowned Accounting Lecturer also in the University of Port Harcourt. She passed on following an auto accident at the Abuja Airport road.

I also know Alvan's Grand Daughter (Chi Ikoku's Daughter) is a Design Engineer with Boeing, USA

take dat: IBB was the first military "president" because he presided over the botched third republic! We had democratically elected governors, law makers and local gov chairmen. There was a constitution(1989) though not used. Though questionable but the period generally accepted and recognised as the 3rd republic!

Ngwakwe: Donald Duke put Cross River into perpetual debt in building what is lying waste without proper marketing.

Let me tell you, if Orji Kalu was Governor of Cross River, Bakassi will still be in Nigeria.

Gov Orji Kalu withstood FG. And Peter Odili of Rivers State for the return of 68 Oil Wells back to Abia State. Multiply the revenue for the next 20 years, you go bow.

Next Point.

take dat: I didn't mean to be rude! 1999- till date is the 4th republic. The 3rd was during IBB's!

Ngwakwe: Can somebody tell me who was the best Governor in Nigeria from 1999 - 2003?

Answer: Gov. Orji Uzor Kalu

Ask OBJ, who better referred to him as Action Governor.

I will be willing to debate whoever will counter my answer. Just give your answer to the contrary by telling us who was better than Kalu in his first term and how.

T. A. Orji is a failure. If I post the photo of our primary school at Ogbor Hill, Nairalanders will certainly faint if not comatose.

Mtchewwwwww

take dat: Was there a party called PDP or the other parties you mentioned in the 3rd republic? Learner!

Aderostock: Sentiments and hatred have blinded your reasoning that you don't want to learn. Comparing Fashola with Akpabio is like comparing a suspension bridge with ordinary road. Besides, let's know the current leader(s) that have performed than Fashola and oshiomole in Nigeria with facts and let's learn from eachother or disgrace one another.

Olugbenger: U cant even depicit btw ACN and CAN?

How daft!

Amanyanabo: please how do i post pictures and link

Sincere 9gerian: Political posturing in 2013? Obviously, you dont know President Jonathan. Or mayb you'r being mischievous.

When we talked about the Lagos-kano railway last year, some of you pathological cynics and mischief makers said it was political posturing. When the project was finally realised, rather than apologize, you disappeared.

What I promise you is that you'll not only eat your words when this bridge is finally realised, you'll also disappear as usual

dayokanu: Exactly No one in SW wants to hear PDP he only won because ppl were anti PDP and would vote anything but PDP

Symphony007: I can understand what states like cross river and lagos are using borrowed money for but bayelsa? What is bayelsa borrowing money for? What projects are they executing? Plus all the money they get in royalties and allocations. A small state like that? Hmmm...the senate had better start considering merging staes like bayelsa back with rivers for efficency not thinking of creating more stupid states like lagoon state.:@:@

PapaBrowne: I didn't see the seven point agenda.
Can someone please help list it our point by point. Thanks

Also why is the former PDP chairman in the new party and chairing the formation of the APC's party's agenda?
I thought parties were built on Ideologioes. If a PDP chairman whose Ideology was suited perfectly for the PDP is now the architect of APC's agenda, are we not going to end up with APC having an ideology that is simply the same as the PDP?

Awolowo had an ideological bend that defined the way the Action Group operated and succeeded. Ahmadu Bello had an ideology that defined the way his party operated. Audu Ogbeh's ideological bend is definitely PDP and it would definitely have reflection in the way APC would operate and fail or succeed.

ayusco: Smh now I have heard everything 'osaze woulda scored the chances musa didn't scored against Burkina faso' in tunisia 04 when the host beat us on penalties who missed his? U guessed it osaze super when we were knocked out in semis and quarters of 06 08 10 was he not there why he no score lead naija to AFCON victory

Idowuogbo: In 2013, y'all still get dis kian mentality? Wots d biggie about sweeping, washing and cooking? I mean for Godsake, dose are d qualities a guy who wants to settle down would probably be on d look out for. All dis shakara dey ruin cv o! U were warned o! Hian! Smh.

Afam4eva: Some of the comments on this post supports what Osazie is saying. The same Osazie that people were praising to high heavens before and some people even called for Keshi's head when he excluded the lad is the same person some people are abusing and asking "Who's Osazie"? I noticed the same thing with Ikechukwu Uche which majority of Nigerians called the best Nigerian striker and even player before the nations cup but people used their mouth to rubbish him when he failed to perform. Some people even said he's finished, that he should retire. That's the story of Nigeria and Nigerians. They're your friends only when things are rosy for you. The moment you make a slight mistake, you'll become the worst thing to happen to Nigeria after Satan and Abacha. Tufiakwa unu.

Orikinla: There is no rich kid or from a rich family in any government university in Nigeria.
