That's one area our people are yet to key in this jet age.
As for the name of the club he is not the first to do so e.g Iwuanyawu nationale, ABS fc (Abubakar Bukola Saraki), Giwa fc and so on. Mine is for them to structure the team in a more appealing packaging for the fans.

this shows us the kind of spirit we have as a people. we don't have passion for things that bind us together. we believe so much in things others have laboured to build for themselves. this have made so much investment owned by the former eastern region to be in despicable state; nigercem ,avop and so many industries owned collectively by the Easterners speak a huge volume about us.the mantra no work for the youth is very annoying when the same youth watches EPL matches, buys EPL clubs sovernirs and jersey and critrise those club and managers who according to their mindset are not doing their bidding.the energy used in arguing or fighting for a club in Europe would have been able to make a little change in our system. no need for that are the anthem the perfectionist,sceptics,critics and others use in portraying how bad are our system is.this support for Europe teams have been able to give millions of their youth employed ranging from cleaners,stewards,PR crews, journalist and players.a popular sociologist have this notion that football is now a religion with mass followership, fanatics,terrorists and club goers.this trend is found in fans having passion for their community, town and regional teams over a foreign ones.a good example is a Catalan or basque man affection first to Barcelona or espanyol and athletic Bilbao.
Mancunian loyalty lies first to any of the Manchester club first before Chelsea.I hope when we say Chelsea for life,when death comes I hope your burial will be in Stanford bridge not nnewi.
nnewi have the ability to form a club among football lovers in order to showcase to the world what nnewi stands for, I will be more happy having anaedo united vs iu united playing the FA cup final in 2017 than barca winning the uefa champions league.youth should make this a dream.

well Africans don't worship the God of their ancestor but find solace in foreign God packaged by the white.we need to start packaging the little we have before self belief erode our mindset.

OdenigboAroli:
Great great news...I suggest Obiano should mobilize people to pull support for Gabros. He can go watch their games and that will encourage Anambrarians to support the club. Once again,great news.
Up Anaedo boys.

Last weekend was a time for joy and sorrows.the
final matches of the nnl just end with the results
a bitter taste to those with higher ambition and
goals.the most memorable news coming from the
nnl was the promotion of gabros international
football into the elite npfl.it was a real miracle for
sport pundits like us, on week 28 of
league ,gabros was seated on 4th position.the
only miracle was the mathematical permutation
and probability of losing and winning of others to
clinche the coveted position.it has been almost a
decade since gabros played in the top
division.anambra can now talk about an elite
team in npfl next season.we must reflect on the
journey thus far with a concerted effort to prevent
such scenario from happening again.first anambra
needs more than one club in the league.this could
be in resuciation of jasper united,udorji united and
anambra united.this could occur with genuine
stakeholder galvanizing such movement with a
deep involvement of the fans as the backbone of
these goals.the state is full of businessmen and
enterprenuers whose passion for the game is
commendable.a good relationship between all
these sectors can issue the flows of football clubs
in the state which in turn can reduce youth
unemployment.the government must be
discourage from bankrolling any of these club
inorder to promote efficiency and well thought
goals ladden with good financial profitability.the
government must be encouraged to provide
befitting internatiönal infrastructure for the clubs
to strife on.these model should be a replica of the
turkish system where clubs are owned by fans or
corporate bodies in order to prevent government
ownership.awka,onitsha or maybe ekwulobia
having an elite fòotball club in the npfl.i propose
a model where 5000 thousand strong anambra
football fans starting a club with an equity of
1000 naira each.these is going to give an intial
output of 5million naira.the stakeholding will be
equal inorder to discourage monoploy.the fans
can elect the board of governors who will govern
the club mangement.the club will be headed by
the president chosen from the fans,he will be
incharge of the administrative running of the club.
Gabros fc must pursue with vigour the branding
of the club ranging from publicity,social
responsibiliy and game tactics.the properitor of
the club as a matter of fact offer the public the
ownership of the club at least 30percent stake
inorder to have more funds and risk bearers in the
public.handout regime are over in club running.

uduokirika1:
Anambra UTD is now Ikpazu FC they won last year's Anambra federation's cup and played In last years National FA cup but knocked out in the first round which was finally won by Enyimba

Anambra Pillars on the other hand is still struggling.

However there is a strong plan in the offing by NEROS to float a formindable club after the completion of the stadium at NANKA

.


community ownership of football is the way forward in developing the football spirit in anambra.the onigbinde model will be the most feasible way of developing the game in the state.if Onitsha can get supporters club of 10,000 members each giving at least 1,000 Maria or more with a share ownership of 0.001 stake of the club.the presidential system of Barcelona club governance can be adopted.

Former Super Eagles coach, Adegboye Onigbinde,
has said that no football club exists in Nigeria.
Onigbinde, who recently turned 75, spoke with
our correspondent in a telephone interview on
Sunday.
He said the general definition of a club is a
group of people coming together for a common
purpose, stressing that no Nigerian club satisfies
such a definition.
Onigbinde said, “In FIFA statute, Article 17 states

that any football body must be capable of
handling its affairs without interference from a
third party.
“It also states that the executive of any football
body must be democratically elected. For these
reasons, we don’t have any football club in
Nigeria.
“Even in the days of Abiola Babes, Stationery
Stores and others, we had decisions being taken
by a third party or a group of very few people.”
Explaining that football is a lucrative enterprise,
Onigbinde emphasised that a group of 5, 000
people could come together to form a club.
He said, “I’m still hoping to establish First
Football Club of Nigeria; that would be the name,
First Football Club. I hope to get 5,000 people to
contribute N1,000 each. After this, we will
incorporate it. This is my next objective.
“This was what I wanted to do with Prime FC of
Osogbo before the idea was scuttled. Some
people would not like the idea of a club
generating its own source of funding because
they know that such money donated by members
of the club cannot be embezzled.

Schematics:
Government should come to Obizi Uga and build a 5 star hotel beside this blue river just as they are building at Agulu Lake..

Obizi-Uga is receiving thousands of visitors on weekly basis, how much more if the government intervenes like they are doing at Ogbunike caves. Nature Tourism is another money spinner..

.obizi uga is a complicated venture that the government have to consider critically. agwasi uga,obele obizi and nne obi I should be made ,a natural park

chukwudi44:
And this senator ayogu eze wants to become governor smh

.myopic sentiments has eroded ur thinking

Schematics:
My friend stop saying what you do not know, though am not in support of the jab thrown by investnow2913. Anambra has some many dualized roads including this 10 lanes super highway below which is the biggest and best east of the Niger. That aside, the state equally has the best road network connecting all parts of the state.

One thing that is peculiar to Anambra is building every sector and regions of the state simultaneously. Take the ongoing mall construction for instance, If we are building a mall it must be built in all our major cities etc, the same applies to every other infrastructural development in the state. By so doing every part of the state will develop holistically without leaving any part behind. That is development in the real sense of it. I think that is a US model where every states of America is developed to almost equal status. Anambra is good for it because anybody can reside in any part of the state because there are infrastructures in every part.

[s][/s]

.the only state government dualised road is the arthur eze avenue the rest are federal government owned.onitsha nd nnewi have wat it takes to develope itself the rest need handout.

investnow2013:
I'm happy that Anambra development is not concentrated in the capital city of Awka alone, but the Whole state unlike what you see in Enugu where the Governor is doing well in The city of Enugu neglecting other areas!. Udoji's Compound,Ozubulu

.i laugh at the way u reason.mega cities are not build wit peanut or spare part money.as an anambra guy ,enugu is movin into a new mega cities statue.it has the basic infrastructure a city,stadium,cinemas,dualised intra state to compare wit anambra that hav 1 dualised road dat arthur avenue.spreadin ur money into different communities at the same time can not giv u world class experience.if the concentrate on enugu before movin to the rural area.

spyder880:
Thank you bro, I love the wonderful job you are doing in the Anambra State thread. Together we can bring changes to our places by bringing out the way things are. Well done.

.u puzzle me a lot.u talk of change as u are nt the one opposing it.irony indeed.

spyder880:
"A picture says a thousand words"

.in ur words then,the road is dirt with heap of sand.lacks world class maintenance culture.until we raise our bar in goverance nd standard infrastructure demand,we all are suffering from self deciet.

Unemadu:
Yet u havent proffered a single idea or solution to Our problems.

.what solution wuld i have proffered that have not been discussed.we derive pleasure in watching fotos that do not add value to the ordinary man in the street.

FKO81:
My friend I don't know what is your problem, why are you bitter towards Anambra? So you are trying to tell me you know Anambra more than me? You are the one that need to be educated, did you see the market billboards in those pictures? Onitsha, Nkpor, Obosi, Ogidi, Odekpe,Oba etc are different towns on their own and they have their traditional institutions. I have noticed you always incite other eastern states against us, I don't know what is your mission, but I can assure you it's a fail mission, you can only rant online the status quo will still remain. Igbo bu-ofu!

.ur geography is very wrapped with ancient ideaology.in reality with cartographic,economic and urban structuring ,onicha is a very large metropolitan area comprising of okpanam,igbuzor,asaba,odekpe,obosi,nkpor,oba,ogbunike,nteje this towns are together due the growth in commercial strength.let us go away from all this skwed mentality.onichas need proper restructuring.

e7ejinima:
@mej67, I believ you’ve made anough points here to deserve more credit that you are given currently. But, pardon me to say, as someone in the field of journalism, that you are a little naïve not to have know that some of these things are sponsored. My advice to you is this. There is more than meets the eye. You are trying but if you cannot stand the fire, you have only one choice, ship out. Don’t expect accolades, you are in their turf.

I’m impressed you have read the book, the Courage to Dare by Chinedu Onu. Honestly, I was happy with some of the concepts. I understand he is no more contesting for guber. Quite sad -PDP magic. Link up with me on emmanuelejinima@gmail.com ok. Ugwuanyi has agreed to work with us at Enugu Professionals for Good Governance to craft a good agenda for progressing the State. We need all ideas we can get.

.a foto run thread bereaved of ideas.we need to put ön our thinking cap inorder to move forward.we have wasted many developmental years to mediocrity like one been display here.photo run thread where ideas are alien to them.ur success individual isnt relative to thd societal development.syder has shown to us the real mindest of the modern easterner.once comfortable the rest should go nd die.their is no economy where government is not leading partner of sucess.japan economy hav been stagnant for the past 12 years yet have 1 of best companies in the world.the working serious to grow the economy at least 1%.enugu developement level is a reflection of the state managers,media nd people mindset.this thread is now a comic nd photo session lounge.at least we are enjoying the pride of the east a hughe metaphor.the progressive shuld nt die yet.

mej67:
ok. will do.

But just know that N18billion (being borrowed afresh ) is way too much money for what is indicated above. And while chicken change to the N36billion or so secretariat that cannot improve even water service or educe infant mortality or access to education, it has greater potential

.i like the way u hv kept the discus going even in the face of hot opposition.in journalism we are told that the media is the one that set agenda for the society nd government.in nigeria the case is the reverse.we the youth hv become the dier machine they use in wrapping our ingenuity.we praise them for minor things they do.mediocrity gives us joy.we should be ashame of ourself.look at our comtemporaries they have left us long time ago.the s korea,qatar,malaysia nd indonesia are no lönger celebratin roads, good water scheme but intricate issues like unemployment rate,poverty rate,education rate, growing the economy nd reducing their debt rate.we have lost years we should have use in growing the economy to mediocrity,military regime nd our stupidity.we praise chime for buildin road,painting road nd planting flower as if it is nt the basic thing government must do.we should know the difference btw want is our right nd the favour the government owes us.if we should employe someöne to develope a house 4 us nd the person gives u the job dat chime is givin wil u be happy with him, with the hughe salary he is earnin.

ChimaAdeoye:
Great job bro!!!

Thanks for the wonderful pics.

I wish the road decongestion task force team will continue to tow away any trailers or cars parked on the expressway at Nkpor axis. The motor parts dealers there are fond of using the expressway as their parking lot for junk cars.

.if dis is hw dubai,qatar,rwanda nd singapore were praisin deir leaders den we wil nt be runing to those places.we adore mediocrity so much.God save my east

oneeast: Listen my friend I am not here to measure d1ck with spyder. Let me not derail his thread with pix I took from the state of his because he knows the consequences on this thread. I am not interested on this thread for any reason because I kept laughing at him each time since I have visited the state. He can only fool some of you that haven't visited that state..

.just the same way u promote mediocrity and hypocrisy.if can raise ur innermost standard about hw a society should be in modern times.we have lost 20-25 years of good infrastruture to blind vision nd insight.enugu is overhyped in all ramification but it is still the best the east can produce.

another scam in waiting.not all businessmen are leaders of the society.until we change the way we recurit leaders,our developement will be a charade.another potential noisemaker.

Rizstar: God almighty will surely punish T A ORJI,
ORJI UZO KALU and thier entire household
forever for subjecting us in this kind of
suffering in ABA. You people will live to
regret your wickedness to humanity. Sorrow
and beakiring will never depart from you
people. You people will live to eat your
poos. Your children children will never
succeed in this life and the life to come.
They will all turn to drug addicts and
squader all our money you people have
stolen your eyes. ISEEEEE

.may GOD also punishe u.u get the type of leader u deserve base on clownish.

PointB: Where is the proof of these statement? And were the landed properties given to them for free?

As for the other idiotic, rants, they neither make sense, nor deserving or response. Kindly purge yourself of childish sentiments, it will only help you!

.i will be foolish to enter any argument with a blind man on the beauty of farkin pawa waterfalls.ur eyesight has a limited horizon.i discus with minds dat are contrastive nt dogmatic.i understand ur situation very well nd ur mono reasoning abilities.if u reply me again,then ur childness is critical.adios

It is not a new thing becos the devil knows that t.a orji is more decitful than him.if u continue to wait for those melodious lie ur grandchildren wil curse u.t a orji carry go since the governed are guilible set of humans.i want u promise them more international- stadiums,markets,conf centers,hospital,roads.

PointB: Another waste of public fund by Rochas!

Using state funds to curry favour; to impress those who will never be impressed!

.ur tribalism knows no bound.ur dual facet character is more poisonous than a viper.most landed property in north is owned by the igbos yet u hardly see them complain about that.if is the reverse u make ur complexes known like a village leader.the day u drop tribalism nd sectionalism then nairaland would nt exist.better hang ur self or enter river odo and drink sand.bloody tribalist.

omicron: I thought you understood the correction Afam tried to give you.

You cannot say Onitsha is expanding to Okpanam, Ibusa and co. It is wrong and somewhat arrogant to say that, with all due respect.

None of Asaba or Ontisha is expanding to or being taken up by the other, in geographical sense. Each is a town on its own right with different history and potentials. Onitsha can not 'expand' westwards more than it has already done, and Asaba has 'expanded' eastwards as much as it is....

Asaba is the town expanding to Ibusa, Okpanam and co, not Onitsha!

I know we all like to praise our towns and re-emphasise their potentials and glories, but we should also not appear to be over-doing it.

.we should use the prism of regional integration in assessing these points.in a very structured political mathematics nd geography.onitsha metropolitan area comprises okpanam,ibusa,asaba,nkpor,nteje,umunya,ogbunike,ogidi,obosi,oba.these are how mega cities are created.a global investor see it as one economic hub.forget all these armchair cartographer.

HappyJoe: The problem is logistics. The Southeast doesn't have good logistic links (this is a deliberate post civil war policy championed by Hausas and Yorubas).

Nigeria is an import dependent nation - so if you're not near the port, you're business will suffer. Somebody takes it from you. For a long time, the Southeast had no links with the outside world - and with Enugu airport and Ethiopian Airlines those links are still tenuous.

Kano has always had an international airport. You see, in Nigeria these things are deliberate.

.stop deceiving ur self with these postwar mantras.if u need development u fight hard for one,nt these delusional mindset of urs

Afam4eva: I've actually thought about this several times. I've always boasted about how i will cite all my businesses in the east but it's not that easy but i'm ready to sacrifice to make a point but the question is, how far i'm i ready to sacrifice. The truth is that, every business is setup for maximum traffic and i will definitely have my main office in Lagos if it's a walk-in kinda office or an office where location matters. But i will definitely have the headquarters in Enugu. But if i want to setup something like an administrative office, factory or industry, it will definitely be in Enugu or anywhere in the east. I can bear the pain of transporting the goods to different parts of the country or have showrroms all over the country depending on the kind of product. Microsoft for instance, ios headquartered in Seattle, Washington not New York, LA or Chicago. CNN is headquartered in Atlanta georgia, not New York, Los Angeles or DC and that is because these are not necessarily walk in offices but mainly for administrative purposes.

.business are nt setup base on cultural sentiment but high yieldíng profit sentiment just like chime visit america nd india 4 medical checkup. when he has the so called transformation hospital he built meant 4 d poor.afam 4get this so called patriotism nd face reality.east need rugged, vibrant nd youthful thinkers,drivers nd pragmatist to lift her a sane society nt all these mediocres

asha80: @rafindo there cant be mayor in any city in present day nigeria so your system cant work at the moment.

.if u get where my point is going then u neednt reply me.the comment was to buttress the point that no city in the se will develop rapidly with slogans like is it only onitsha,it is our turn,the capital town must be develope first.brazil capital is not the most develope cities in brazil not trail behind sao paulo,rio de janeiro,porte alegre,savador becos government develope the cities base on priorities nt village sentiment.onitsha in a sane society should receive more attention than awka,even nnewi deserve more attention than awka.awka can only be built when all these towns hav reache their saturation point or with a magical oil money such as abuja.in a good society development agendas are been setup or propagated by the media outfit or development pundits like u,afam4eva nd spyder but unfortunately the pundit allow the politicians dictate the dance.

we should apply reasoning when stating our points.sincerely speaking we shuldnt allow delusion nd mediocrity becloud our mental abilities.south east nigeria is naturally disadvantage becos of landmass.we should spend more energy in building a city in the proper sense of the word city not all these urban centre we call city.hong kong,brunei nd singapore hav been able to attract the world to them self even with small landmass,because they had leaders with high standard nd city futuristic ambitions nd plan.we in se settled for mediocrity as a standard.in my analytical opinon,only enugu can only be called a city the rest are glorified urban centres.if anybody understand what a city is will never call onitsha,awka,nnewi,nsukka,abakaliki,umuahia,orlu,okigwe.aba nd owerre hav the potentials to be mega cities.city are not built with chairmen nd indigenes but with mayor nd resident.

IGBOSON1: ^^^The bolded is what Ndigbo should read and be worried! THESE PEOPLE DO NOT WISH US WELL, and for as long as we're in the same country with them -under the current dispensation- they will NEVER allow us to reach our full potential!

.everybody wishes u well when u wish ur self

biafrandream: My brother I have always thought the same way, but the issue of the airport being controlled by the federal govt. is purely for the purpose of economic strangulation of the south east. Nnamdi Azikiwe stadium was initially managed by the federal government but was later handed over to ENSG because it has little or no economic value. Why not the airport, because it will offend Hausa/Fulani/Yoruba slave masters. It will impact adversely on the revenue of the Lagos state govt.
Imagine what the airport would look like if Sulivan were to be in control of it's management, I bet, Mohammed intl airport Lagos would have been a joke compare to Enugu by now. Do you know that Enugu shoprite is the largest in Nigeria? This was confirmed by the Swedish Ambassador to Nigeria when he visited Enugu.
Sokoto Caliphate has mandated Badluck Jonathan to make sure that no meaningful infrastructure is built in the south east or there will be an outright war. This is why a miniature project of a paltry sum of 13 billion is taking so long to complete. Even the 2015 deadline is to get Igbo votes as usual and unfortunately, the gullible Igbos who have accepted slavery as their destiny in Nigeria have fallen for the antics.
How long did it take Sullivan to build nike to Opi Nsukka road, the Shoprite shopping mall, the State secretariat, Zik Ave bridge and so on. These are mega projects that cost tens of billions of naira. Does it not bother us that the federal government with an annual budget of trillions of naira has not construct a single road in the south east. I mean a single road. Sullivan with a paltry budget of 3 billion naira has built hundreds of kilometers of roads in the state.
We Igbos must accept the fact that we have no place in Nigeria. We voted GEJ enmasse, the consequence is that we have suffered the second worst genocide after the civil as a result, yet GEJ cannot build common Enugu-Onitsha road for 6 years running.
If I have my way, I will gather all the Igbo efulefus who support GEJ and those who want to remain part of Nigeria, tie them to a tree shoot all of them.
You guys should wake up and accept that the so called Enugu Intl Airport is a huge joke, used by the imbecilic Ijaw man called Jonathan to curry Igbo votes.
Have you people realized that since Ethiopian airline started making a stop over at Kano that APC and some of their Igbo slaves no longer make an issue of it. Their goal have been achieved.
Biafara is our right and our hope!

.mr man stop campaignin 4 thiefs.people like u are d reason we are nt develope,refusing to accept the thin line bw economic integration nd political gerrymandering.

promoting mediocrity is a good business venture nowadays.if ta was an employee of coy given the same salaries,allowances nd luxury of a governor.will u as an employer give him a thumbs up.he built hospital yet he travels for check up abroad.he travels outside nd sees the best road,closed drainage yet he believes aba road is standard.nigeria youth are leadership disaster in waiting

nickz: how this league wan take move foward biko

.just the way the clubs in europe support their local teams.
