'He is creating opportunities....'

What kind of thinking is this.
Where are the plans, where are the working documents towards, where are the elements of a working tourism industry to which the government is supposedly investing in.

You will think the other things are in place and the operators (preferably private investors) are asking for government intervention or assistance or investment by providing these buses.

But in Nigeria it is always the cart before the horse because things are never planned or purposed. They are always driven by interests, by contractors.

In a few months or years you will never see or hear of this again. Reason, no root, no branch and no leaves to bear fruits. As a matter of fact no desire to farm by the people.

Want a tourism industry?, you start by selling an idea that is all encompassing to all citizenry, you sell the benefits so that it can succeed long term over many governments because the people see it as an economic lifeline.

Then you hold summits to fashion plans on what to do, by whom and to what group and what and how to start. And to who and what the benefits will accrue.

Then you share, as it were responsibilities perhaps based on equity.

It is to these plans that the government will have identified that it's responsibilities are to provide transportation at this time hence the buses it has provided.

You can only deceive yourself and not well thinking Igbos. The day Soludo will emerge to challenge any of your tribal "tin gods" at the polls , na people like you will remind him that he is an Igbo man and should build more bridges first...

Let that day come first. But for now, today, Obi should take the back seat and go home. Na person wey get capacity dem tell to build bridge first.

Nobody that supports APC who doesn't sound or act foolish, which roads wey the buses will go? Lolz misplaced priority

They will give fake love to Orji Uzor,Uzodinma and other rogues because they are in APC...
Enemies of Ndi Igbo

Right Now I don't think this what Enugu Indigenes want...! Our Healthcare system, Education, Electricity...! So on Our Roads...! And so on...! Pls Not this. Go Fix them All...! They're Primary basics.

It seems that it's only South East and Lagos and PH are the only states that are developing in Southern Nigeria others are just there


Yoruba states are just doing absolutely nothing to develop their states they have all started claiming Lagos


Niger Delta are still sleeping.m.thonking oil will develop them


Congratulations South East governors Una dey try

Walahi, Obi can't lace the shoes of Mbah. Them no be mate at all.

Peter Mbah, Soludo, Dave Umahi - these are the guys SE should be pushing for the presidency. Not that empty head, who has nothing to show for his competence aside keeping state money in the bank and building a brewery.

If Mbah wants to run for presidency, the internet and the people will speak of his achievements. No need for "Go and Verify" and nonsense Vietnam Bangladesh China-went-back-to-China statistics. We are all witnessing him transforming and reshaping Enugu state in real time, with our korokoro eye.

That aside, Mbah is the perfect template, aside Lagos state governors, as to how Nigerian governors should be. He came in when Enugu was rooting away, rolled his sleeves, and cooked policies and ideas to catapult the state to the top. Within 3 years, Enugu was pushed to top ranking of the best states in Nigeria. Today Enugu ranks among the top in IGR generation. You can only achieve this when "you aren't lazy in structural thinking".

Peter Mbah is impressive. He is a thinker and a doer. It's no wonder Tinubu likes him a lot.



I see many of you hating on Peter Mbah because he's in APC. He started transforming Enugu when he was in PDP. I don't know what you guys are smoking. The funny thing is that most of you saying this are Igbo. So you hate the best performing governor in the your region and one of the best in Nigeria simply because he moved from PDP to APC? You can't be real. What happened to "we vote for the person not the party" you all parrot when Obi was still in the LP? Hypocrites!

This is what I wrote regards this same issue when he defected. You all rather prefer he is in ADC or LP and be an average governor like Otti, abi? LMAO

Agbadorians can't do without mentioning Obi. Honestly, too many senseless people were hired to defend this clueless government. FYI, stop comparing Obi and Mbah because they aren't in the same category. You can as well compare Tinubu with Mbah.

Wait. Will people be driving around mountainous regions in those buses and aren't they too low to drive around Nigerian roads Just my observation.

I believe government can do both at the same time,.social programs and sectoral investments/establishment.

The former is purely a non profit government responsibility. The latter should be a profit driven public/private sector joint venture to which government's role is limited to framework, supervision and a small equity if is so desires.

But government should plan carefully and learn from the mistakes of other states that have dabbled into such things and today they are dust. Take a cue from the infamous Cross-River tourism ventures and where they ar today and see the limitations of government trying to drive what I term a business.

Oakenshield:
You guys are sick so tourist bus now an achievement in APC? Jeez

Was Julius Berger logo not a tourist attraction in a nearby state?

Poor student of history.
Delusional hypocrite.

When that day comes and this your rehashed nónsênse isn't what's obtainable, you lots will always find something else to say! Nobody is falling for it

Some of us will never pick an Obi over an Umahi, Mbah, Soludo, NOI, Uzodinma, Kalu even Otti because you all had already told us what a failure he was as Governor (and the evidence speak loud and clear for themselves) before throwing his hat in the ring for the presidency!

Who are we to doubt the reviews from his own kinsmen? Do you want to now deny all the evidence that abound?

We know you want the presidency and we sympathise with you but you see if it's Obi kiss it goodbye! We'll wait for the best you have to offer.

None of these aforementioned are coming to "challenge any tribal tin gods" biko, calm down, they will gladly be voted for when they emerge. Onugo!

We thought the likes of those you mentioned were already enemies because they are in APC? Weren't you people dragging Cubana just yesterday because he chose to be a CityBoy and calling him "enemy of ndigbo"?

Make it make sense na!

And u created an account with Obi🤣🤣🤣
Obi bought over 600 buses for schools back in 2012 and he made no noise about it

You, you are all about party and tribe.
I am all about selfless politicians irrespective of tribe.
People like Orji Uzor has been selling his people short because of selfish personal gains...
You glorify anything that suits your love for APC and tribe.
Which one is CityBoy... That's like some corrupt elites coming together to mock the majority suffering masses.

nero2face:
Good work from Mba, but our rural areas need ur help, Enugu is more than just the urban areas...Nsukka, Udi, Ezeagu, Uzo-uwani, Nkanu, etc, bring basic dividends to the rural areas of Enugu, that's true development

..abi..he is just concentrating on the urban areas while the rural areas lack development

Do they have good roads and good road network for this buses

So anybody that doesn't align with your political definition of a "selfless politician" somehow you believe is "selling his people out"! Wow, what ïnanity on display!

We see how hate rules some of you and somehow you think you can force the hands of people to choose and do your bidding...nah we're in a democracy!

One minute you are all: "igbos are republican and have a mind of their own" and the next you are demonically trying label everyone who chooses a different path as "sabo" all because that doesn't suit you!

ufotunang:

My. Brother, I don't know.
But this is how we do things in this country.
It is clear.

Someone was recently in London for holidays and was led around in a double decker bus and has decided all the money he spent on himself and his family can be recouped by selling this idea to the government...and unfortunately has succeeded.

This is how our governments here work. They are infiiltrated by interest groups, overwhelmed by the cries of contractors peddling all sorts of ill-thought off ideas and schemes that the rulers lap up to remain in power.

Well the money has been spent. So the citizens have to start to ask the serious questions about how this 'vision' will succeed if they have any value for their resources being spent.

Cross-River is a poster child for good intentions gone horribly wrong. I just hope they have repaid those millions of dollars borrowed way back then.

Na part of wetin he rode on and copied from 1st District around Wien Mitte to Schönbrunn Palace, when he was on city view of Vienna be that.

Security of people, memorable and worthwhile places to visit and purchasing power people have to be considered, firstly, before embarking on investing in tourism.

Is bus the only thing to show for the heavy taxation, igr and allocation by Enugu?
State where even widow hawkers is taxed.
State made of 3 senatorial zones. Not even a meter of road in one of the zones. For almost 3 years. Audio government ruled by tax masters

Maintenance is the thing. Some years later, you'll find them being packed at the government house workshop. Probably vandalized.

Do they buy the bus from INNOSON, or from foreign company? If not how do you expect local manufacturer to boost employment.

EponObi:
Alex Otti is not a top tier governor. You can see this with the quality and types of projects he did in Abia.

The issue is Abia was getting zero, literally zero, governance for decades so much that Otti's bare minimum governance seemed like heaven on earth. Their last governor was proud to say on national television that his administration gives 500 naira to nursing mothers after deliveries - Abia had it that bad. So a new governor coming in to construct street roads looks like he's a messiah from heaven.

Otti is not among the best but he's far better than his predecessors.

I see.

osuofia2:
That one wey de budget 210 million for photocopier machine, used 38 billion to construct 5.8 KLM road. Staying in his private residence and using Abia state money to pay himself rent

Wahala. Baba don fall hand

Ofc, they are not in the same category. Mbah is far ahead when it comes to governance.

Double Decker bus won't attract tourism. Peter Mbah ain't doing much as a Governor. All this project associated to him can be done by a sound and project minded council Chairman.

Anyways let's see how acquiring bus will attract foreigners to a state.

Until Nigeria start voting their leaders this is what we will keep hearing...

Like I said, you can only deceive kids and non‑discerning Igbos. Since after the civil war, which Igbo man has had more national appeal than Peter Obi? Before Peter Obi, anyone who tried to gain national ascendancy was politically shut down by a gang‑up from other ethnic groups who were afraid of what an Igbo man could do if given power at the national level. Unless by a special intervention of God, Peter Obi is the surest shot the South East has at the presidency in this present time and for many years to come. That's why APC and their lackeys are trying so hard to demarket him for so many months..
