Igbo gadi: Is good to hear that peter Obi tarred the major roads in Anambra, but isn’t what he was elected to do at the first place? One of the most important question to ask him is how many job has his administration has created? In general this how we should rate our governors, Roads, water and electricity are the basic things government should provide to is citizen.
Please don’t get me wrong fixing the roads is good but people also need a job to survive, if there is a job there will be a less crime on the street.

Ofcourse,that's his job and he is doing it with all humility but I will defend the man when someone tries to discredit his effort and create a bad image of him.

NRI PRIEST:

Its either you are ignorant or you are being mischievous....Roads aren't the only thing Obi did,you MANIPULATIVE SON OF A DEMON! How about the school reform that has brought order and sanity into our school system ? How about the thousands of water schemes he performed that brought running water into ppl homes...How about the inspirational motivation he brought to Anambra farmers; He tarred all the roads that leads to all the farming communities in Anambra,gave farmer loans,farms implants to expand production. All the difficult terrain in some Anambra communities which were avoided was tarred by Obi. Funny thing is that no stake holder in Anambra is criticizing him,except thieves who hasn't found a room to keep stealing. Anambra never borrowed a kobo from anybody and her reserve can feed her citizens for decades,unlike Enugu who is in a hole..Peter Obi is dealing with the most basic needs of the people and not some white elephant dreamtrain that contributes little or nothing to the eating table of our ordinary citizen...need I say more when it comes to industrialization drive of Obi's goverment; the riverport,the refinery,the sabmiller,the innoson motors among other multibillion naira companies he has attracted to Anambra and thereby creating thousands of jobs both blue and white collar.....Obi's enemies must be brought to shame!

I’m happy to hear one of the few things you have just emotioned Peter Obi did for the Anambra people. I have a few questions for you
How many jobs did Peter Obi government created for the Anambra people last year or for the past 6 years?
How many companies did Peter Obi attracted to Anambra since the past 6 years?
Thanks

Anyway i am from Enugu but i must confess that in terms of Job creation, i doubt if any Governor in the SE region has attracted the kind of Investment that Peter Obi has attracted to his state ( I maybe wrong).

Basically in Human Development Index, i think Peter Obi has performed more than all the Governors of SE region(Rochas seems to be confused undecided) and this i am sure of.

The road is not visible to every eye and a camera. Only few people can see them.

let me correct u, upper-iweka and bridge head is a federal road, its proper name is enugu-onitsha expressway. so u are nw blaming obi for the state of federal roads in onitsha?

besides the bridge head that i passed yestersay was being upgraded into 6 lanes.
Re: Peter Obi Of Anambra State Is Working, At Least On Roads by Slizbeat(m): 9:56am On Jan 11, 2013
As a true and illustrous son of Anambra, lemme be quick to state this. Anambra has really changed. I lived at kano before i moved to lagos. As at 2012 when i went down east, the only bad road i met was onitsha-enugu road which is a federal road. All other roads i plied, from ifite-awka where i stayed, down to nnewi, awka etiti, Okija, ihiala, till i got to my maternal home at Oguta, Imo state, i didnt encounter any bad roads. My village itself has a tarred road, even to the gate of my house. Industrial wise, anambra hasnt being bad either. Employment wise and educational wise also. Anambra still has a very low level of un-employment which i know in the next 5years, it would be less than 1%.
When someone does something no one did, give kudos to him especially when he began from the very scratch. Anambra is flooded with 3-4-5-storey buildings which is also good for the skyliners. The only thing i feel Anambra lacks now is More Groundbreaking world class infrastructure, an inland port and an airport.

lol. ignorance i c. let me educate u alittle. onitsha - owerri road doesnt start until u have crosssed the flyova. from the bridge head once u enter anambra state u are at enugu- onitsha express. to enter onitsha-owerri express u will have to divert to d right.

bottom line. they are both federal roads. u dont judge the state government by the state of the federal. althou obi is trying in the enugu-onitsha express, frm bridge head.

disclaimer- am not saying obi is a saint. am just trying trying to correct the notion that he is doing nothing.

Re: Peter Obi Of Anambra State Is Working, At Least On Roads by MajeOfficial: 1:04pm On Jan 11, 2013
bia, why are there so few pictures of onitcha in existence?
I can find 100 of owerri which is several times smaller, Umuahia, but it's rare to find photos of Onitcha
we live in digital age, everyone has cameras on their phone. Take photos of the city and post them up here, we don't need to depend on word of mouth alone anymore.

There's no pictures to show jare. If you go near unizik junction or govt house the only thing you'll see is huge billboards of Peter Obi advertising how he distributed 10 laptops to schools or built a library(with no books) or constructed drainage(like that's not his job). It's crazy men, i've not seen anything he's doing except sounding like woman. If you enter Awka ehn. Smh

afam4eva: You can't say a governor is working after alluding that it's mainly roads that he has built and those roads are roads connecting the country side.

I also want to believe that Peter Obi has done well in building rural roads even though these roads are camera shy. But that's not a reason whyy we should give him a pass mark. He's left other things unattended to. If Peter Obi was ruling an Ebonyi, i would have given him a pass mark but this is Anambra we're talking about and Anambra is not a state where you build roads and we'll see he has performed.

Really, i can't wait for Obi's tenure to be over so that a more ambitious governor will take over.


Go to hell ediot..

Where is your own governor for the past 5months..?

Obi is tops when it comes to SE. He has made the environment conducive for world class investors to troop to the state. He has built roads to the ends of every community in the state, making Anambra a one-city-state. One can leave in Agulu or Nanka while working in Awka due smooth roads all through. You keep on hating and your governor keeps on missing without showing up. Your state, enugu state is largely rural. The state developed about 15% leaving the rest bushy and inaccessible. I could remember going to Udi for a friends trad. mehn I could not believe that people still lives in such a stone age era. I could still see mud houses, poverty in the highest order and above all most dangerous roads I have ever plied and high level of unemployment in Enugu state. A journey 30mins took us about 2hrs.

Obi has made all Anambra communities developing simultenously, we are not doing window dressing by focusing on the major cities. By 2015 your state will be begging Obi to come develop enugu state and not what chime is doing, resurfacing roads that were done 50yrs ago and you gullible people calls that transformation

IS PETER OBI PAYING YOU TO WRITE UNCONVINCING USELESS COMMENTS?


NIGERIANS ARE NOT STUPID,GO AND TELL THAT ILLITERATE WHO IS PAYING YOU(PETER OBI)
THAT HE IS THE NEXT VICTIM OF THE STRANGE DEATHS OF BAST ARDS IN GOVERNMENT. undecided
Re: Peter Obi Of Anambra State Is Working, At Least On Roads by anulaxad(m): 5:38pm On Jan 11, 2013
Onlytruth: It is good that when our leaders are working, we should say so and encourage them. I saw first hand that Anambra state roads are now mostly tarred. It was not like that in the last few years.
Admitted they are not marked, but they are tarred. Speaking of marking, I wonder how expensive it is to mark roads!! undecided
Nevertheless, I saw smooth roads running round remote parts of Anambra state. I can boldly state that by the time he leaves office next year, he will be leaving behind a state with high accessibility. I can now drive round Anambra state without worrying much about bad roads. The most notable bad roads in Anambra now are the federal roads -Onitsha/Enugu, and Oba/Okigwe.

Maybe our next governor will only be marking roads! lol grin

Kudos Obi!


That comment in bold shows you what you wrote was A LIE.. IT'S ONLY IN NIGERIA WHERE TARRED(ROADS)DEATH TRAPS ARE CALLED ROADS WHEN THEY ARE NOT EVEN MARKED.

SIMPLE PLASTIC MIXED PAINT IS ALL YOU NEED TO MARK A ROAD.

HOW ON EARTH IS IT EXPENSIVE TO MARK ROADS


WHEN YOU CAN BLOODY BUY A TIN OF PLASTIC PAINT FOR ONLY 10 POUND AT MOST.
Re: Peter Obi Of Anambra State Is Working, At Least On Roads by patrick89(m): 5:44pm On Jan 11, 2013
If u cn name one single road that is not tared or nt being attented to then i wil tke u serious. For me peter obi has open up all the linkages btw umunze and awka is a stone throw, all the connecting roads leading to ayamelum, anambra eas, ebenebe, amaokpala, pls go to oko amaokpala side, ogboji agbudu' nando okuzu and many more infact awka s getin serious development like neva b4. So save d craps for ya little dogs!
