Is this what they even call narrow roads? If this is what is called narrow roads let us see it elsewhere in other states where there are some of the worst roads ever.

The thing tire me o. I don't know if old Enugu-Osha road is narrow? That road is wider than presidential road, ogui road, ziks' avenue and Okpara avenue in Enugu. Maybe their only grouse is that there is no artificial demarcation to make it answer dualized road. Awka road in Onitsha is as wide as Ogui road in Enugu. We can criticize the government for not building pedestrian walkways, but basing the argument on the narrowness is what I won't subscribe to.

I dislike all these talk about narrow roads. Till date Anambra has the best road network in Nigeria and that's due to efficient utilization of resources while avoiding white elephant double lane projects which always involves paying compensation to a community to acquire their land. Please also stop insulting Peter obi,he is the best governor we had and nobody is perfect. When peter started doing roads in omoba phase 1 and phase 2 olo street, umunya street I knew he was spreading development. Even internal roads in woliwo and awada. These are areas which suffered neglect for many years.

Left to me, I prefer narrow good roads that littered the length and breadth of Anambra to bad roads that littered the outskirts of other states capital. We should praise Peter Obi for interconnecting Anambra. Every part of Anambra is easily accessible, thanks to Peter Obi. Even Ngige built narrow roads too. I'm disappointed by the rate of development in Awka, but we must know that the city is still evolving. I know what Awka used to look like before it was chosen as the capital. Let us not be armchair critics. We should support the efforts of the government. If you drive round Anambra with your car, you will be full of praises for the efforts of some previous governors.

You are praising narrow roads and at the same time disappointed by the rate of development in Awka. We may all have different meanings of development. Those roads especially the ones in Awka, Nnewi are onitsha are the height of mediocrity. What is worth doing is worth doing well. In 5 or more years time, most of those roads will be broken down and begging for reconstruction.

The onus is on you to prove that Ubah has investments in Anambra or you forever keep quiet and accept the fact that the person you are defending is odi mma na ezi.

The question is, are the roads really narrow or the mischief makers are trying hard to make us believe otherwise. For me I will rank the governors in this order Ngige is good, Obi is better and Obiano is the best(going by his farts so far).

Some of the best road networks can only be found in Anambra. I want to see this sort of quality roads elsewhere but people will not like to talk about it! Why is that?

In other news, Obiano's wife launches Awka Awka Wonderland Amusement Park and Resort

On the heels of the ever-growing interest by potential investors in support of the programmes of the governor Obiano administration in Anambra State, Wife of the governor, Chief (Mrs.) Ebelechukwu Obiano has urged potential investors especially wealthy Anambra indegenes to emulate the example of the proprietor of Awka Wonderland and Ausco Farms Limited, Chief Austin Ndigwe and bring home investments to the state to help create employment and grow the state economy. Mrs. Obiano made the plea while on inspection of facilities at Awka Wonderland Amusement Park and Resort in Awka Anambra State.

Mrs. Obiano observed that the administration of her husband and the accommodating nature of the Ndi Anambra have made the state a preferred investment destination. According to Mrs. Obiano, “Our state Anambra is now safe for everyone thanks to the governor who has promoted security and put in place attractive policies to encourage investment. I expect that our wealthy sons and daughters will now contribute their quota and wealth of experience into the socio-economic development of the state. Awka Wonderland is a very good initiative which should be emulated.”

Mrs. Obiano who described Ndi Anambra as very industrious and progressive people, emphasized that governor Obiano administration had laid the ground work and built the necessary infrastructure for businesses to thrive. She assured that government has provided enabling environment for businesses and industries to thrive in the state.

Furthermore, Mrs. Obiano stated, “I am not just saying this because he is my husband but because I am also from Anambra and we are all witnesses to the transformation going on in the state, they are building institutions. My role is merely to support him and anyone ready to work in the interest of our state. Let us join hands with the government and collectively resolve to build our state. If we do not, nobody can do it for us.”

She thanked the proprietor of the facility for the good job and promised him that she will ensure the support of her pet project, Caring Family Enhancement Initiative (CAFÉ) through the use of the facilities, and also appeal for government continuous support for those like him who are willing and able to make the sacrifice.

In his remark the proprietor of the centre Chief Austine Ndigwe thanked governor Obiano for his investor-friendly policies and urged other companies to take advantage of the conducive environment existing in the state and locate their factories in the state. He equally commended the wife of the governor for finding time to visit the facilities promising that they are ready to offer Ndi Anambra a new experience in leisure and hospitality.

Imagine what the guy is writing that Uba has a kerosene depot in Nnewi, where is depot now, the last time I saw Uba selling fuel was Capital Oil Borromeo Roundabout.

He said Andy Uba and Chris Uba have investments in Anambra and started listing village houses. Even my family village houses at Okija almost 20 rooms without occupants, you call that an investment.
Last month I visited my villa and fumigate the compound because the place is not economically viable cus nobody stays there except Xmas or ceremonies.

Tell the guy to list all the investments all the so called Ubas have in Anambra that employ people the way Orange Drug from another State is doing in their own (Ubas) State, Anambra.

Your telling me village house, who doesn't have family house in Anambra

You are sincere and straightforward. Anambra is indeed improving though not yet there, I hate it when people are just comfortable with whatsoever they see or get. Discuss with any anambra peeps why/how our government should sweep and keep our roads clean and hear them say stuffs like "at least they manage to build roads, is it not just sand dunes, what did the previous government do? we will manage it like that."
For how long are we going to be like this So we have to swallow any shabby projects without criticising constructively simply because the past administration didn't do as much as this present one or maybe because we have too many peter obi lovers?
I don't care about narrow roads just give us a standard and solid narrow roads.

IGBOSON1:


^^^Makes you wonder why our useless elite didn't think of doing it in the immediate aftermath of the bloodbath and genocide that was the Biafran war! They just rolled over and accepted Gowons fraudulent assertion of 'no victor/no vanquished' and the dummy that was the 3Rs!

Up to 80% of the problems we're facing in business, economy and social dislocation in Alaigbo can be traced back one way or the other to this cursed entity called Nigeria! The very people that hate, envy and don't trust us are the same hateful bastards that have -since the end of the war- configured the Nigerian polity to hold us down and prevent us from developing 'more than we should'! Some of the problems we're discussing on this thread pertaining to int'l air and sea access issues; depriving us of our littoral status by carving part of Alaigbo into Rivers state and encouraging them to deny their Igbo status; carving out oil rich parts of Igboland in 1967 and placing them in Rivers state; staying in the shadows and egging on the Ijaw and Ikwerre to seize Igbo owned properties in Port Harcourt, while coming out in the open to say you were nice to Igbos because you kept their properties safe in your own regions during the war; all these are manifestations of this wickedness and part of what fuels my hatred for this country called Nigeria......and i've not even talked of the wanton killings sef!

Bro, what's the way out?

Some of the best road networks can only be found in Anambra.

No doubt about the network of roads, Whether tarred or not, the reason for that is the fact that down the memory lane we have been blessed with a vibrant town unions. One of the notable foundational activities of the town unions, predating indepence is collective marking out Lands to be used as roads, for schools, for churches, markets and interconnects from one town to another. That type of cooperation is lacking in some other zones
But at the time greed and selfishness crept in, indigenous land owners at Awka, Nnewi felt it was a waste to make out the atleast 30 feet for roads, that was the origin of narrow roads. Now, apart from Government layouts and a few other private layouts, many artery roads in Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi are irritatingly narrow. Annoyingly, the Government tarred the roads like that without any effort to maybe get some feet left or right (expansion ) of the roads, most of which can be gotten without damage beyond fences
Obi is no better than Ngige. If not for anything Ngige is more quality oriented and very strict when it comes to standards. I remember when he came to supervise a particular road in 2004, RCC had a plan of a drainage. Ngige said No it must be dual drainage and over 10 years down it's paying off

A lane Roads in Harbour can nearly accommodate a stadium now, the roads are badtest vast.

Obi chop money at Harbour Layout, I lives at Iyiowa I know the place like the back of my scrotum now.
When the road was bad the entire Ogbaru LG had no roads, Ngige started Atani Road and was removed before he got to the bridge, Obi came and stopped work, Etiaba came and took it down to Iyiowa, when Obi came back he too it to different level, he turned Harbour into a worldclass industrial layout with massive road expansion.

Obi took the Atani Road leftward to bust out at Ozubulu beside Jerome Udoji building along Onitsha-Owerri Road and straight to Ogwu Ikpele to Ogwu Aniocha to the border between Anambra and Rivers State with countless Bridges because those areas are swampy and riveline communities.
Until you visit Ogbaru LG you will know what stuff Obi is made of.

Yes! Ndoni in Rivers state has a common boundary with Atani (Ogbaru) in Anambra state. They have similar culture and language. Peter Odili attended CKC Onitsha and he is from Ndoni and his ancestral origin was once traced to Ogbaru. I don't know if that is political or not.

Ogbaru equally has as much crude oil deposit likewise Ndoni in Rivers.

Anambra has some long stretch of boundary with Ndoni part of Rivers State. Down Ogbaru LGA, as a matter of fact, Ndoni in Rivers State was part of Ogbaru Zone in the immediate pre-independence era and remained so for years
Peter Odili wanted to connect the bridges and roads but was advised not to do so at the peak of his battles in Rivers State, they said he is Igbo and that altered his initial plans

The picture should be Fegge, Fegge is precolonial Onitsha.
The same way Old Aba Town, Asata and Old Port Harcourt town look like.

The problem with our precolonial heritage is our lack of maintainace culture in Nigeria, those roads need their drainages to be covered not the roads to be dualize, if you had visited Ebutte Metta in Lagos the place just look like Fegge of the 90s, all the streets are interconnected and no buildings were fenced.
I love Fegge.

Fegge now is longer retaining those pre-colonial footprints because those bungalows and one storey buildings with British styled architecture are being demolished daily with reckless abandone to give ways for our so called "Igbotic" highrise residential houses.

I visited the street(Abagana Street) where my friend was staying with his family when we were still in secondary school back then and discovered the building have been sold and a gigantic 5 storey building is standing there now.

Fegge is shedding off her colonial heritage likewise Odakpu.

Wisdom is a virtue and you don't have it that's why spend valuable time attacking ndi Olisa megolu eze. Development is a continuum and what Obi did were in stages:short time and long time development of all sectors. He did not abandon any sector because they are all important. Not that you don't know these but your mischievousness and evil intentions won't let you reason like a normal human being. You have being educated on numerous occasions about Obi's policies and their importance like the porverty mapping in Anambra north and why they need roads more than other parts,how no teacher wanna go up there because of lack of basic amenities but the truth is that you don't care about Omanbala. Providing infrastructures and social services are the most important aspect of development no matter how small. I rather have Omanbala with basic amenities evenly spread throughout the state than to have a beautiful Awka while the rest of Omanbala suffers.

Its not Atani, Atani is the capital of Ogbaru and very close after Odekpe and Ohita.

its Ogwu Aniocha, they are in Ogbaru but they go their villa through Ihiala, they have boundaries with both Oguta Imo State and Ndoni Rivers State but a Bridge need to be constructed to access the divide.

If they are traveling with vehicle they will move through Atani Rd but that will be very far though Obi worked the road but with Okada they can just drop at Ihiala and go to their house.

They are surrounded by rivers, before the Ogwu Aniocha is Ogwu Ikpere the hometown of Chu Chu Onyema former HoR member, though the town is at war with the king but the situation is under control now.

Anambra has boundary with Edo at the north(water boundary), has boundary with River at the South, has boundary with Abia and Imo at far south, has boundary with Enugu state at the east, has boundary with Delta at the west(water boundary, has boundary with Bayelsa though a tiny water boundary and Kogi at the far north.
