Nice contributions,
For me I think imo can opt for the enugu model, a tree can't make a forest, development is a collective effort,

As can be seen from enugu, chime concentrated in enugu, while gburugburu is taking it further to nsukka and elsewhere, while ekweremadu is complementing their efforts within and beyond his constituency,

Hence such can be observed too in anambra, we have all seen linda ikpeazu complementing what the state government is doing in onitsha metro, and other federal legislators from the state,

Peter obi equally didn't do much in awka and agrarian areas, today, obiano is spreading road infrastructure within those areas,

So it is a matter of collective effort, Imagine if federal legislative members and senators had complemented the efforts of the state government, things would have been better.


Another issue, is the use of reputable construction firms, so job done,can have longevity.

My brother, I like your example of Enugu state, shows how vast you are in regional politics. The state governments there have really tried in those areas you mentioned, it should however be noted that they didn't totally neglect other LGAs. That's why nobody will complain about what Gbururgburu is doing in Nsukka, same way no one complained when Sullivan was changing UDI to "small London" per say.

As for our federal representatives, their own case is worse. Although I kinda have a soft spot for Ihedioha, I once asked in his Facebook page what he has done for us all the while he was in the House of Rep, or does he think he deserves to be governor just because Mbaise feels its their time?

U should have seen the kind of insults and threats I got just because of that question. To the extent someone (a lady) had to private chat me to tell me never to ask such again cos they ain't planning to take it lightly with me if I dared it again. I had to leave the group for them.

I did ask the same thing in Nnanna's page and the response I got was that he was made chairman of one committee like that... How does that translate to progress for his people?

I also once called him on phone, he asked me to send my details as a message to him before he can reply any question(s) I had for him, that he was just about to enter the chamber. I did, and since then, he never replied me.

I wish they could visit this thread and tell us what projects they've been into, to help their constituency.

...right now, the only jobs available in Igboland is buying and selling. This is so true. However, I believe every area should be able to carve a niche for themselves. If that is the niche they wanna carve for themselves, the next thing is to make it orderly, as you've rightly stated.

About the secondary schools being compulsory boarding, I don't believe government will be able to fully handle that. I served in a government boarding school in the North (Lafia to be precise), and I know how things are done with a lackadaisical attitude there.

I've always wondered how there is no form of road hawking in some of these countries, now I know better.

Boarding schools was part of our lives when I was growing up. At that time, at least 85% of the students went to boarding school. It fantastically and spectacularly worked for our generation as far as I'm concerned. The reason why I recommend it is because it's an avenue to get teenagers out of the street and out of trouble. Their sole focus being their education will allow them to prosper with the regimented lifestyle of dormatories. It also relieves poor families the burden of feeding their teenage children.

Abagworo:


Buying and selling or correctly commerce is not the only job available in Igboland. Unemployment is a general problem across Nigeria and the reason is our belief in formal education for pride instead of practical education for skills development. However things are shaping up as more and more people are keying into self skills development instead of the usual job hunting of the past.

Excuse my language, but skill development or rather skill acquisition is a useless nigerian slogan that won't solve nigeria's unemployment problem. Skill development have only led to redundancy of several hundred people doing the same thing in every street corner in nigeria. I gave an example of food stores which Americans call grocery stores. Now, let me give you another example about another statistics in a big american city. The washington DC metropolitan area with a population of over 2 million people probably have about 10 furniture stores. There's probably about 20 stores selling spare parts for the entire city and it's suburbs. But, those 10 furniture companies and 20 spare parts stores will end up employing more than 1000 people.

Now, do me a favour and google the SKYLINE of major american or european cities like chicago, houston, los angeles, san diego, baltimore, berlin, amsterdam etc etc. When you do, go to images. What you'll see when you do that is pictures of hundreds of MULTI STOREY, buildings. Cities like chicago, new york and sao paolo in brazil have more than 1,000 multi story buildings each. People don't live in these buildings even though a tiny percentage of them could be condos. Hundreds of millions of people work in offices located on those skyscrapers doing what we call office work (white collar jobs). There's even multi story office buildings even minor western cities. When an american new graduate is looking for work, he's most likely to be hired by a company occupying one of those office multi story buildings. In nigeria, nobody looks for work because there are no jobs, other than bank jobs. Looking for jobs in nigeria automatically means looking for a lock up shop to start selling something.

These jobs (white collar jobs) are NON EXISTENT in nigeria. To solve the problem of 10,000 people selling car parts, 10,000 people selling shoes, 10,000 people selling clothes, 100,000 people selling provision store in every nigerian city, you must provide them with white collar jobs where they will go to work on the 10th, 12th, or 15th floor multi story buildings. When they walk into their offices or cubicles on the 14th or 15th floor, THEY ARE ALSO ENGAGED IN BUYING AND SELLING, BUT, BUYING AND SELLING OF IDEAS AND OTHER PRODUCTS AND NOT JUST PHYSICAL GOODS.

For nigeria to solve their unemployment problem, they must be able to create manufacturing and white collar jobs.

I never knew there was a time Nigerian education was mostly boarding. The two points you stated for advocating for that route are actually very correct. However,we need to look at it from government expenditures.

Will government really be able to cater for such needs, taking into consideration that it is already running a free education scheme. Also, note that the number of students during your time can't be compared in any way with the number of students we have now.

On a bright side, such initiative will bring a positive revolution in the agricultural sector in the state.

What kind of works are they exactly doing in these buildings? And considering the number of offices that'll be in one multistorey building, and multiply with all the multistorey buildings in the town, I believe there'll still be a lot of offices doing EXACTLY THE SAME THING, which in effect won't be different from the 10,000 shops selling the same thing in a typical Nigerian town.

It will be a miracle if millions of jobs performed in these multi story office buildings are doing exactly the same things because like I said in my earlier post, their overhead cost is either in several hundred thousands or in the millions. The average salary for people who work in these offices can be in the neighborhood of $30,000 a year. Top managers probably make about $60,000 or more. Each office can be employing 20 people. Their monthly rent could be $20,000. Their other overhead cost like electric bills, internet and phone will be higher. In developed countries, the windows of their multi story buildings does not open. They stay shut all year round. As a result, their electric bill is high because their air conditioning units run 24 hours during the summer and the heater run 24 hours during the winter. They are never shut off even when they go home. So, you do the math. Pretty much, they couldn't possibly remain in business if they are all doing the same things.

Like I was saying, these businesses wouldn't last more than two weeks if they are not generating the kind of money that allows them to cover their expenses which runs in the millions yearly.

This is why I keep saying that we are 200 to 300 years behind them. These countries are so developed is unbelievable. While we're still doing buying and selling, they have developed the kinds of economies whose job creation is on autopilot. Their city suburbs are filled with thousands of business parks that employ millions more. The budgets of their states which have comparable population as nigeria is not less than 20 billion dollars. Some big states like California have a budget of 200 billion dollars. In comparison, nigeria with a population of 200 million people have a budget of 25 billion dollars. Imo state budget in comparison is less than 300 million dollars and they don't even realize the whole 300 million dollars.

Their civilization is something to behold. Am sure you've read where I said that they do 100% landscaping, for a country the size of west africa. 100% landscaping is the given of assignment to every single inch of their land

I forgot to answer your main question, which is the types of jobs performed in these downtown office towers. Between you, me and God, I've thought about it every day for the last 20 years or more. Not only have I not thought about that, I've thought about how western countries came to be more advanced than everybody else. So, every single day I go out, I pay very very close attention on how they did things. How they built their houses, skyscrapers, roads, bridges, cities.

The funny thing is, they can go anywhere in the world and duplicate their civilization. It's not a surprise that all their major cities look alike. You can see a picture of Sidney, Berlin Ontario or Houston and they all look alike. They can even go to Mars and duplicate the same things they have on earth. The one thing I noticed in everything they did is that they never cut corners. WHEN THEY DO SOMETHING, THEY DID IT THE RIGHT WAY ALWAYS. Another thread that runs through all their civilization is that the make laws and vigorously enforce them ALWAYS. They built things to last forever. Their 300 years old institutions still look like they were built yesterday because they used the right materials from day one.

If I'm retired today, the first thing I will do is to understudy how their civilization came to be, how they have maintained it for generations, so much so that they've left everybody else behind.

The short answer to your question is for africans to follow the chinese example. The Chinese have singlehandedly re-created what is obtainable in the west, by simply copying from them. The Japanese and the Koreans also copied before the chinese. So, it's doable.

We have manufacturing jobs but they pay poorly making it a left over for people unable to get federal government and oil company jobs. Traders are generally richer than highest paid employees of corporate organizations because Nigeria is yet to attain corporate trading which kills the profitable petty trading we do. In those American cities, few corporate organizations own everything and employ others to work for them whereas here in Nigeria everything is still run at sole proprietorship level.

I quite agree with you because when you compare South Africa now with the South Africa left for Africans in 1990s there has been stagnation in civilization.

Another point I want you to understand is that the whites rode on us to civilization and have continued to be a factor in under development of Africa. They met one day and divided Africa as they pleased thereby creating never ending wars and crisis in a continent we had no borders. They created ethnic nationalism and encouraged feudalism in order to continue using Africans. Africans need to first of all settle the sicial aspect of our problem before we can experience real advancement or we can simply take the easy way of moving in cycle. Why was Libya destroyed? Why is Africa a permanent theater of war and poverty?

‘Most Nigerian cities don’t have master plan’
By Malikatu Umar Shuaibu | Published Date Feb 18, 2019 3:30 AM


The Nigerian Institute of Town Planners (NITP) has said that most cities in Nigeria do not have a master plan and those that have are yet to take steps to implement them.

President of the institute, Lekwa Ezutah, made this known in Abuja at a media briefing recently.

According to him, “Only Abuja and Owerri have a comprehensive master plans that have been fully implemented. Some cities have master plan but they haven’t been implemented or reviewed.”

Ezutah also lamented the inability of the Federal Government to implement the requirements of the Urban and Regional Planning Law.


“Since 1992, the Urban and Regional Planning Law was set up and provides for an Urban and Regional Planning Commission at the federal level, planning boards at the state level and planning authorities at the local government. But till date, government has not implemented the law, 27 years after.

“This is why the focus of the institute under my leadership is creating awareness to policy makers and the general public on the importance of town planning at all levels to ensure that professionals are engaged at all levels to reduce the cases of building collapse and irregular physical planning,” he said.

Ezutah also reiterated the institute’s commitment in ensuring that development control takes center stage in Nigeria, lamenting that it has been lacking in the country for so many years.

dont know about owerri master plan being fully implemented but this sounds good though

Asshurbanipali:
Abagworo is always hyping a complete shith0le called Owerri. Is it this same Owerri? This is why Imo state is generally backward because of too much noise with no substance. Come back here and explain if there is another Owerri in Mexico. I spit on you hopeless old man.

Chino this is no propaganda as you can clearly read who said it and what organization he heads. I understand you are pained but learn to always accept the truth.

Keep deceiving yourself.

Look at the same short shabby substandard dirty road that Abagworo kept showing from different angles each time he is asked of what Okorocha did for 8 wasted years. It has been laid bare from aerial coverage. They have to even mark the dirty substandard road which is filled with sand and broken down even before completion

Abagworo:


Keep deceiving yourself.

how??

Abagworo look at the flyover Okorocha commissioned with so much fanfare. He even copied Obiano's suspension lighting, only to come to Owerri and installed it on a collapsing uncompleted flyover. Where is Okorocha's signature projects in his 8 wasted years? Abagworo come back here.

Okorocha has not commissioned projects cause he considers it unnecessary hence you hardly see him doing that not to talk of with fanfare. What you showed as flyover in Owerri is fake just like the other photos. It can only deceive those who have not been there.

Shut up this miserable liar. Okorocha commissioned this flyover below. What you show is just one side of it, below is the other side of it. Please show me the fake in my picture? Stop lying old man.

Abagworo look at the pictures 2 & 3 when Okorocha came to commission Owerri flyover and picture 1 is six months later. Notice the same building by the left, also notice the iron decoration that was just hung recently

I still don't understand why Abagworo will engage a lunatic here.

Can't you just avoid him whenever he visits this thread? Enugu people have ignored him and let him post whatever he likes

You see a deranged homosapien and engaging him in madness. Na wa o

Baba first ask yourself these questions
Which job do you think the average Nigerian can be doing in an office in a skyscraper in the country's current situation?
With our population per city in Nigeria, how do you think buying and selling won't continue to be a major source of employment for Nigerians?
Do you know how much most traders generate from these buying and selling businesses?
I just want to ask this question, is working in a hotel a white collar job?

Most of these skyscrapers are usually used for Free lancing, residential apartments, head offices of various small business mostly IT firms, restaurants at the bottom floors etc.
Buying and selling in Nigeria is good business and the best thing we can do to make it more attractive is switch to build more appealing and descent markets, such markets made of a combination of malls built next to each other to make up the market & banning street trading and hawking at areas near such markets. As for manufacturing, our governors in the east must introduce a system or policy whereby both foreign and indigenous enterprises are given 1 year tax holiday after the commencement of production for the first time.
