Ponponkon:

thank you. Make we buy our own.

Ponponkon:
Gov. Ikpeazu, officially, today, handed over the security equipped Police patrol cars to the Nigerian Police IG, Mr. Solomon Arase.
While speaking during the handover, the Governor stated that his government is donating the patrol cars not because the State has much money but to encourage the Police force to step-up their games in fighting crime in the State.

He also handed official cars to Abia University Hospital Senior Doctors and staff of the management board and tasks them not to play withg the medical life of any Abian with or without money
ABIA IS MOVING FORWARD

guy una fall hands too much o. Why una no come buy ivm?

vanguard90:
U seem to have comprehension problems

can you pls tell me what you meant since i have comprehension problem.
Here is what lead to all this forest issue if you are forgetting

efilefun:
Some people living in one forest in onitsha will soon flood this thread and spew thrash like Buhari is building the estate for himself

someone replied the porter as follows

snika:
Unfortunately for you, there's no forest in Onitsha. Don't you guys ever leave your one room batcher in Lagos to visit other places.? Do you think everywhere will be like your village in Ibadam which you have refused to go back to since decades?

then you answered

vanguard90:
No forest in Onitsha ke, na the whole of Onitsha develop ni, u people can lie ehn, all those ones wey dey outskirts if u dey go owerri road nko, all dat okija side nko
Chai, to say person never enter sat side before now, e go dey think say na anoda Tokyo o

then i simply asked you if those people that the previous poster said were from forest whether they are living on tree to warrant such derogatry comment.

Adaure4ever:
Wow. Nice one Ikpeazu.
Proudly Abian but its quite long that I have visited the state. Lol

where you come dey since?

vanguard90:
Didn't say okija is Onitsha, just making him realize okija is along Onitsha-owerri road.
They think no sw has been to the east before too much. I've been there, thanks to Nysc

and d forest you were talking about was people living on trees? Onitcha is not okija.

mikeapollo:
Do you know about other factors that influence location of industries, like proximity to market, availability of skilled labour, environmental factors, peaceful atmosphere etc? The agitations going on the south east is not good for attracting investors

which agitation? Guy go sit down

MrEverest:
I dont know why you people like fantasy instead of fact. Innoson vehicles are a very common sight in the East, they are fast taking over a huge % of the market share in East, from state governments, to churches, schools, companies & individuals are now buying Innoson more than ever before. Tommy Tommy noodles is today one of the most popular noodles in the market nationwide but the plant is at Nnewi. The Tomato products would still be popular if he had built it in his home state of Anambra. I wonder how Obiano or Anambrarians will regard such a man that was wicked enough to ignore their pleas for investors only for him to go & enrich an already industrialized state!

you forgot tonimas, az etc

She never said she was fired because she was igbo.

DrinkWater10:
OP Weldone
Please can you give updates on developments in Uche Ogah's Masters Energy industry city? Any at all.

there is alot going on there. Continous Work have been on there.

chudionu58:
Is adding #30 billion not an astronomical increase to the debt stock of an already indebted state? Not surprised you never mentioned the contractor..Ngwa Brothers Company Ltd..
lol

i don't think abia have borrowed such money yet.

Ponponkon:
This man! There are ongoing road projects in Isikwuato that started about 4-5 months ago. The LG chairmen are about to be reshuffled. I've not been to the stadium since last week or there about, I can't specifically brief you on the progress made

which project in isuikwuato are you talking about? Do you have a picture or name.

DrinkWater10:
Please update us on the rehabilitation of Enyimba Stadium.
How many projects has this government commenced in Isuikwato LGA, and finally why does it seem like the LGA chairmen have been handicapped?

thank you for asking that question.

The mythof south east is industrially starved
this lie is/has been one of the disgusting of all the lies. I will not discuss much on this yet

Mineral deposits in south east.
i. crude oil and gas:
*found in: abia, imo and anambra states.
Used for: a) petroleum and petrol chemicals. b) for electricity production and many others
ii. Lime stone:
*found in: ebonyi state and abia state
used for: cement production.
iii. Coal:
*found in: enugu and ebonyi states
used for: power generation, tar and others
iv. quarry(other ignous rock)
*found in: ebonyi, enugu and abia
used for: road constructions/other constructions
v. Silica and other industrial stone
*found in: abia and imo states
used for: glass production, marble...
Vii. Lead
*found in: ebonyi, abia and enugu states
used for: cable,...
vìii. ...

tanteta:
We all know the truth..... This region is Blessed in many ways. This fact is an open secret.

yes it is an open secret that people are determined to make a closed secret. It is quite dishearting when i come online (especially nairaland) to come and read comment heavily smeared by ignorance. I think this induce hatred against people you know little or nothing about and it must stop for peaceful and harmonious co-existence.

the myth of south east has no mineral deposit
This is another lie that have been flying around in some quarters for years now. Sometimes i ask myself do some people even research before believing bullsh¡ts. Can't people remember that there was once when coal was like crude oil in nigeria, can't they remember there was a time when Nigercem was the major cement in the country, are the forgetting that abia and imo state wasn't included in nddc just for fun. Well i will take it that those found to believe this lie are ignorant and needs to be enlightened.

The myth of igboland ends south east.
it is always said when lie/any evil is repeated over time it becomes a culture/belief. This can be liken to the devious lie spread in some quarters that igbos are only in south east. Some new atlas (the ones from hungry author) have falling cheaply into this mis leading perception.
Igboland/territory is any place that has ndi igbo as aborigins. Hence igbos are not only in south east but are also in south south region. Some will come with this known theory of ikwere denied their igboness, but that is a very big lie that has been left to grow to the extent of misleading some indigens in rivers state. If you ask, the person to tell you who is ikwere he will be beating around the bush but if the same person is told okechukwu amadi stole he will be quick to tag it igbo without asking where okechukwu is from. This lie cannot be allowed anymore to grow as it has been the root of all mis-fortune of the great igboland.

Herald47:
When i went to nkwelle in anambra state 2years,i saw some yoruba and togolese expatriates,while i was interacting with them,they were surprised at the rate that area was developing,they began exclaiming 'igbo people get money well well,see the kind fine houses wey them they build even small small boys don make him own money to build house'

thank you my brother, i have been begging most of my brothers on this forum to refute any information that could lead to misleading perception of this great region with facts and less insult. The protection of this region and its potentials is in our hands.

Agricultural potentials of the region
variety of agricultural products can be obtained from this region. Most cash cross, food crops and life stock can be grown in commercial quantity in the region. Here i will list the potential products in two main categories which is; cash/food cross & life stock.
major cash/food crops includes:
i. Oil palm(obtainable in all states)
ii. Rice (mostly in enugu,ebonyi and anambra)
iii. Cashew(obtainable in abia, enugu and imo)
iv. Rubber (obtainable in abia and imo states)
iv.cocoa(obtainable in abia and imo states)
v. Cassava (obtainable in every state)
vi. Yam (every state)
vii. Tomato (every state)
plantain (mostly abia, ebonyi and imo states)
maize ( obtainable in all states)...
major life stock includes:
i. Sheep and goats (obtainable in every part)
ii. Poultry (every state)
iii. Pigs (every state)
iv. Cattle (mostly in the northern states ie anambra, enugu and ebonyi)

THE MYTH ABOUT SOUTH EAST AND AGRICULTURE
most ignorant nigerians who maynot have been to south east have this belief that south east has acidic and infertile red soil which is not suitable for agriculture. Some even think that the little fertile land available will be carried away by erosion. Contrary to this belief(myth), south east soil is very fertile and viable for any agricultural purpose that pertain to tropical rainforest, freshwater swamp forest and forest savanna.
Some people might have some doubt with this claims,but testimonies of viability of agricultural activities in recent times should at least be able to remove some doubt if not all. The amount of agricultural and agro-allied investment in the region especially Anambra, Ebonyi and Enugu states has a valued estimate of over $2billion in less than 5years.(2011-till date). "Oops", some will say, "here they go again with billions of dollars" others may say scornfully,but the truth remains that this value is for those investment viewed as mega.

This is not to massage some ego or measure d¡ck but it is a call to my igbo brothers and other potential investors to look towards agricultural potentials of this region, for us to have sustainable development.

patrick89:
Nwankwo? That's an igbo man's name! What is igbo people doing in state?

sorry but actually igbos are in majority in rivers state. Amaechi, wike(nwike) and odili are all igbo.

#say no to divide and rule, it creates delusions to unsuspecting visitor.

Ovamboland:
Ewo you disgraced him by sending him to represent you in the Senate,

Now I truly believe in the Biafra cause, what a wonderful way to bring down the zoo, reward your worst people to lead and destroy the society wit crass incompetence. That must be why a character like Jonathan got SE ful support, as a WMD to destroy the zoo, it's getting clear, and IPOB youths take the job of attacking any move to save the zoo and defend criminals and cankerworms, neat strategy

hmmm what do you mean? Na you sabi wetin you dey talk. If you have any problem with ipob maybe you should sort it out with them not me.

evansvenus:
What happened to the almajiri schools,goodluck built?

read the article you will see what happened to it

EHMIR:
Innoson+anammco=prosperous nigeria


like if ure proud of naija nd share if u will patronize made in naija

i concur!!! Lets patronize nigerian made and our economy will never be in an unnecessary mess as it is today.

anammco is in enugu state.

Mr MORNDEW, last time i checked south easterns has been the ones that criticize their leaders more than any group. You can always see that online and offline. You were too quick to call T.A.ORji who his people call a failure, who always get disgraced by his people... Now tell me other region that can do it.(except ss).

You talked about education right? Well that depends on if you are comparing south east with usa. Data on education development in nigeria has always shown that se is not found wanting(by nigeria standard.). Others maybe bringing up waec result as their base for...

MORNDEW:
Doctors, Lawyers, Professors etc. Who has more? Na by Waec?

who has more?

Nice. Inno i most buy you this year.

asha80:
how sure are you about that?,so where are the monies from these rd projects coming from? No tell me ta Orji saved cash for ikpeazu

i know it might sound strange to you but abia for many years have not (never) been disclosing their IGR. Aba has a very high revenue generation potential which have been looted by our leaders. The only thing we often hear from them is that we only generate #600 million and #3000 is been collected from more than 100,000 shops in aba a month alone. We are not talking about the amount collected from tri cycle drivers daily talk less of industries. Umuahia, ohafia and other sub cities are also money bags

http://theeagleonline.com.ng/abia-assembly-approves-n30b-loan-for-state-government/

http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/2015/09/abia-assembly-okays-ikpeazus-n18bn-bail-out-loan-request/

i know they have approved that but the loan have not be collected yet.

chudionu58:
I sincerely hope Ikpeazu is applying the approved loans on income generating infrastructure; as he may have to swiftly run back to the state assembly for another tranche of multi billion naira loan! Abia state is not Lagos remember, with a very high IGR. He shouldn't leave an astronomical debt burden for the state.

aside the bailout loan of #14billion i don't think anyother loan have been collect yet
