Awka millennium city seem to be developing this project to proper standards as promised in the design.

A lot of estates in the East come with no infrastructure development in place. They just sell divided undeveloped land.

Ogbaru should be the industrial and warehousing hub of Onitsha.

Also Obiano need to open up phase 2 of harbor industrial complex.

The current zone is already built up.

Exactly, that harbour estate is so built up now and phases 2 and even 3 should be developed after Atani.
I didn't even know factories produced all these and more along that axis.

Awka has the potential to become the first world class city in Igboland if well planned. Those 3 bridges you meet when coming from Onitsha are good to the eyes.

Anambra Declares Monday November 18, Public Holiday in Honour of Zik.

The Government of Anambra State has declared Monday, November 18, 2019 a Public Holiday in honour of the great Owelle of Onitsha, Right Honourable Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe. Following this declaration Monday, December 18, 2019 shall be observed as a work free day in Anambra State.

The Public Holiday which was declared to mark the birthday of Nigeria's only indigenous Governor General and pioneer President should have held on his actual birthday which is Saturday, December 16, 2019 but has to be observed on Monday December 18 for obvious reasons.

A statement from the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor of Anambra State, Mr James Eze says that the declaration came on the heels of repeated appeals by the governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano to the Federal Government to declare a national public holiday in honour of the great Zik as has been done for other illustrious leaders across the continent who led their respective countries from the shackles of colonial rule to independence.

According to him, Governor Obiano had used the opportunity of the commissioning of Zik Mausoleum in January this year to appeal that Nigeria should set aside a Public Holiday in honour of the great Zik just as Ghana did for Kwame Nkrumah, as Kenya did for Jomoh Kenyatta, as Tanzania did for Julius Nyerere and as Angola did for Agostinho Neto.

He pointed out that the Great Zik of Africa had so much influence on the nationalist struggles for independence across Africa and played a unique brand of all inclusive politics that left no place for ethnicity and religion all of which make the case for a national day in his honour very compelling.

Therefore, from this year onwards, December 16 has been set aside in Anambra State to commemorate Right Hon Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, celebrate his legacies and reflect on the ideals and values that the great statesman lived and died for.

It is expected that in blazing the trail by setting a day aside for Zik, Anambra State Government is making the case for a national holiday in honour of Zik a compelling one.

It must be remembered that the Great Zik of Africa was one of the greatest Pan-Africanists who devoted his life and times to the struggle for the emancipation of Africa and people of African descent.

Till today, Zik remains the only Nigerian President who spoke Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba fluently and the only one whose children bore names that reflect the three major ethnic groups in the country.

In addition, Zik made great sacrifices and placed his life in so many grave dangers while leading the struggle for Nigeria's independence and he also made so many concessions and compromises after independence to give Nigeria the chance she deserved.

A national public holiday in his honour is therefore an equivalent of giving honour to whom it is due.

We must continue!!!

OUR GOVERNMENT PEOPLE , I SALUTE UNA...



I HAVE ONE MAJOR CONCERN THAT HAVE BEEN BOTHERING ME.



EVERY NOW AND THEN WE SEE REALLY DISTURBING PICTURES OF FAMILY VIOLENCE IN ALA-IGBO. I.E. SON KILLING FATHER, MOTHER AND WIFE. PEOPLE TORTURING HOUSE HELP.


I WANT TO KNOW IF ANY EFFORT IS BEING TAKEN TO SENSITIZE AND EDUCATE OUR PEOPLE AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.


THE CHURCHES HAVE A MAJOR ROLE TO PLAY AND CIVIL SOCIETY GROUPS COULD BE CREATED FOR SENSITIZATION EXERCISE.


TV AND RADIO STATION COULD RUN ADS ON THIS ISSUE.


BIKO NU, LET US NOT SEE ANYMORE DISTURBING PICTURES OF BUTCHERED WIVES, IT IS SAD AND DISBELIEVE.


IT IS SO BAD THAT WE AUTOMATICALLY BLOCK IT OUT AND PRETEND WAT WE SAW WAS NOT REALLY.



IF U CAN NO LONGER COPE WITH THE WOMAN YOU CHOOSE TO MARRY, KINDLY SEPARATE FROM HER AND GO YOUR WAY. IT IS BETTER THAN GRAVE AND JAIL.

Love the classy and understated look of the Obis’ palace! Not too over-the-top and pretentiously gilded with gold like some other palaces tend to look like in Nigeria!

RCC seriously working on Enugu/Onitsha Road, they are working on both lanes, they've started the second lane from Odumodu junction Umunya and Awkuzu section, with the rate they are going I believe they will deliver on time, I also noticed the contractor handling airport road Umueri have resumed work, I will cover the area soon

ANSMEDIA:
Passing through Ekwueme road around X-FIT. People no longer sleep even at 10pm. This is 11.30, still bubbling

That's what you get when there is peace in the area and people are rest assured that they won't get harmed. This shows security in Anambra is on point. Apart from security, it is also clear that Awka has fun places to visit at any time of the day. Ndigbo must not stop, we must continue.

Adorable British School Awka on trip at Nnamdi Azikiwe Musoleum, Onitsha

Nice but the people running the Azikiwe Mausoleum should make it a lot more interesting than the deification of one man. Put a library in there that talks about the history of pre and post-independence Nigeria.

The state government needs to create a park around that axis. They could take part of the ABS land and build a nice park with trees, grass, bush bar, play pens, sand pit, benches where people can take their family and go hangout in the evenings or on weekends and connect it to that road that leads to X-Fit.

Those bridges have now become the identity/logo of Anambra State. God bless Willie Obiano

While some useless and bitter opposition members call the awka bridge mould of cement or say it's waste of money

You mean the useless peter obi boys who tried to ridicule the project because their paymaster couldn't point to any tangible project like that after 8 years
