successmatters:Really, ever wondered why people in Delta and Benin are generally Educated with high literacy rate. Awolowo planted the seed because of his free Education was through out the west despite being in opposition. They accused him of spending in ibadan as if Awolowo himself is from ibadan and as if Edo didn't spend in Benin when they got their Midwestern region. Or is Okowa not spending money gotten from other parts of Delta in Asaba today? Is Nigerian government not spending in Abuja today? 6 Likes |

Sunshineg5: The awolowo free education made people from the old mid West highly literate? Wonder why your states are not doing free education today if free education makes dull people suddenly bright. Delta and Benin people had always been intelligent, pre independence till today. It's nature, not because of Awolowo. It's criminal not to develop Sapele, Ughelli, Warri and Asaba despite the numerous natural and human resources there. Awolowo wasn't from Ibadan but ibadan speaks his language, he doesn't understand not trust the other languages, that's why he refused to give them any meaningful position, or develop their places. To him, it's either they accept their second class status or jump into the lagoon. 15 Likes |

Sunshineg5: Sammy07: b]Kindly read more during Eastern region [/b] Okpara called his political philosophy “pragmatic socialism” and indeed through an ingenious, well-choreographed, economic blueprint raised the bar of infrastructural development across the defunct Eastern Region which comprised Abia, Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Bayelsa, Cross River, Ebonyi, Enugu, Imo and Rivers States. Dr. Okpara was a prudent manager of men and materials that made merit the hallmark of his leadership recruitment model. That was why he could accept Chief Okwulehie’s recommendation of the Obubra, Cross River State-born Dr. Samuel Imoke (1912-2015) for nomination as minister of education; it was for same reason that he had the presence of mind to bring late Chief Ogbuagu on board to head Eastern Nigeria Development Corporation (ENDC)…a regime of square pegs in square holes, that is! Dr. Okpara was, through the ENDC, establishing a Pepsi Cola Plant in Onitsha, a shoe industry and a textile mill were springing up in Owerri and Aba, Obodu cattle ranch in Cross River, Cement Factory in Cross River and Nkalagu, Port-Harcourt was not left out. It was within same dispensation that an industrial estate was conceived and delivered in Trans Amadi area while the Alfa Plant for plywood production berthed on Eastern Region’s shores. Mecheiin factory in Port Harcourt History also has it that it was the provision of abundant public utilities by Dr. Okpara’s administration that attracted both Michelin Tyre and Glass factory to the soil of Eastern Region. Those of us who were born in the 1970s met standard, well-paved roads, pipe-borne water flowing from taps in individual rural homes and uninterrupted power supply. What is more, Presidential Hotels Enugu and Port-Harcourt still stand tall today as some of the signature hospitality statements made during the era under review. Dr. Okpara’s legacy of aggressive industrialization and even development can further be seen in his establishment of Adapalm Ohaji in present-day Imo State and several farm settlements spread across the defunct region. Likewise, Modern Ceramics Industry and Golden Guinea Breweries Umuahia are also eloquent testaments of Dr. Okpara’s unmatched industrial revolution. And to think that his administration accomplished all these with proceeds from palm produce, one cannot but appreciate the genius in this man who served his people, chose not to serve self and family to the point of being unable, by election, to build a hut for himself and family in his ancestral home of Ohuhu, Umuahis in today’s Abia State. 15 Likes |
