I don't believe there are shanties in Anambra. angry

So who are occupants of the shanties?

Because the last time I checked, 98.89% of Anambrarians are billionaires with at least 3 mansions each. The remaining 1.11% are millionaires with about one or two mansions. So who is living in shanties?
Look at houses in the shanties. No part of Yoruba land (except Lagos, which is a no mans land) has that kind of privately owned buildings.

This is exactly how elrufai started- he called it Kaduna Urban Renewal. We all know how that went down, he was called all sort of unprintable names by people hailing soludo for doing same thing here. Thank God he got the job done nonetheless.

I wish soludo the best
I don't know what you people gain from lying against Igbos. Hate will only lead to your premature death.

More Northerners spoke against El Rufai than the number of Igbos who did. Even Yorubas were also against his methods.

But all these people now equate to Igbos. We are used to your hate. It spurs us to more success
I am sure you also blame Igbos for the poverty in your generation

Soludo is already proving to be far better than Peter Obi, in spite of having access to fewer resources

Ndi Anambra must join hands and help Soludo provide solutions to numerous issues setting us back as an industrious state and one with present and future billionaires.
We must all kick against foreign mercenaries that wants to set our state on fire because of envy disguised in freedom fighting.


Anambra mma mmanu!
God bless Anambra!!

Good question, Bro

The occupants of the shanties are people like you, from poor states, who could not afford anambra houses & standard of living.Ndi Anambra construct such structures so that poor you can see where to sleep at night, and wake up the next morning to continue their street begging & suffering menial jobs.

Victor Umeh was not the person that came up with the zoning formula in an attempt to make Soludo ineligible for that election. It was done by Peter Obi.
That Victor Umeh recommended Obiano is neither here nor there. Peter Obi showed that his self-interest was seemingly above the wellbeing of Ndi Anambra, as he supported Obiano's emergence because Obiano was a director in a bank that Peter Obi has a huge share in.

I love your use of the word 'foisted'. It is the only reason that I am still mad at Peter Obi till date. Peter Obi 'foisted' that man on the state, he allowed it happen with his greedy ambitions that made him abandon APGA for PDP.

Conversely, I forgive Obiano because he helped Soludo emerge as the governor. Let's all hope that Soludo delivers.
Nwanne mmadu, ighotalu ije.

The fact that Obiano played a major part in ensuring the smooth election of Soludo into office, has made Obiano a little higher on the scales for me.
Soludo has always been the wish of Anambrarians, and as Obiano respected that wish, as far as I am concerned, he has leapfrogged Peter Obi. Let us not forget that Obiano had to work within the confines of a messed up economy by the Buhari-Osibanjo regime, so we shouldn't expect any major miracles from him. I promise you, if Buhari was in charge when Peter Obi was the governor, Obi would have done much worse than Obiano.

Now while Peter Obi and Willi Obiano did relatively very well as governors, when compared with their peers, Anambra deserves governors of the Soludo mould. Perhaps people like Kingsley Muoghalu and such people

Peter Obi raised the bar of leadership in Anambra and became the yardstick with which every governor is judged.

Obiano was a wonderful governor when compared to people like Ugwuanyi, Ikpeazu, Yahaya Bello and Dapo Dagboru of Ogun state, but Anambra people weren’t happy with him because they compared him with Obi and he was below par.

Let us allow Peter Obi to raise the bar of leadership in Nigeria; from where we can never have it lower.
Ngige was the one that set the bar. Peter started off from where he left .

I assure you if he continues like this he will either be impeached or he will only serve 1 term. I understand he is trying to do the right thing but you dont govern Nigerians this way!!

Demolishing FESTAC, an area far developed than Makoko was a pure ethnic victimization.

Why hasn't LASG demolish Makoko, Ajegunle? What is stopping them from doing that?

They were demolishig Igbo duplexes in FESTAC but leave Yorubas rickety shanties in Makoko, Ajegunle and others

Soludo should not go about destroying peoples life efforts without looking for solutions.

As an intellectual, a child if the civil war and a product of our parents efforts to survive, he can find suitable option to redevelop Okpoko without destroying people in the process.

I have often browsed through the areas on Google map, thinking how I can sort the slum should I be in charge. These are my thoughts.

1. Relocation and Organised Housing development.
Divide Okpoko Area into about 50 sectors or area. And start Redevelopment and Relocation serially and in stages.

2. Relocate to where? There is a river running from Ojoto down to Obosi emptying into the Niger, its flood banks is still undeveloped and offers space for new developments. People have bought up the area and walled, but the Givernor should revoke the occupancy and compensate.

3. Plan the Area, and appoint developers who can source their own funds and develop high rise residential blocks in this area with world class organisation. Minimum of 20 floors. Remember to account for parks and green spaces in the plan.

5. Design a new plan for Okpoko area as a Corporate business district, something Onitsha lacks at the moment.

6. Conduct an enumeration exercise in Okpoko as is currently, identify structure that do not fit or meet the minimum requirement for the new plan.

7. Revoke occupancy and Evict the occupants of the Okpoko structures (except the few fitting buildings, should be less Ghana 20%) , Compensate them with new apartments developed by the appointed third parties in the residential area along the river Bank. Do this in sectors to allow people adjust easily to the new realities.

8. For each Sector Evacuated, Auction the old space in Okpoko for re-development as a Business District, in line with a masterplan. Because Okpoko is already a mature brownfield, proceeds from the auction should be able to pay off debt of the state for both the new Apartment blocks used for Evacuation and the compensation paid to initial land holders in the River Bank.


Doing this will give Onitsha, two organised and well built residential and business neighbourhoods that are world class. And also set the tone for redevelopment of other parts of the city. The state will need loans for the initial funding, but will eventually end up with net gains from the Okpoko Auctions, so no loss or expense. Soludo promised Sky Scrappers on the banks of the Niger. This is how to get it, not by reckless demolition of properties which has not worked anywhere, not even in Abuja.
