[quote author=kostadinis]Gen. Ihejirika's idea is without precedents and successful ones for that matter. In an ever decreasing world of conflicts, the military around the globe are trying to expand their scope of objectives which includes but not limited to running corporated organizations.

Egypt's Ministry of Military Production manages at least 14 companies - producing merchandise varying from tank shells and ammunition to fertilisers, sports equipment, cement, pasta and even owning child care centers in the face of receiving over 3 Billion Us dollars hand out from the US government every year. So, what is the fuss about the Nigerian army trying to tinker with investments to help her solve her needs in the ever shrinking Nigeria's defence allocation? Gen. Ihejirika has refurbished and/or built new barracks than any of his predecessors. Under his watch, the NA has begun to sell light military wares beyond the borders of Nigeria. It takes a sharp and innovative mind (not the usual drunken "gwodogwodo" Nigerian General) to put in place a corporate strategic investment plan such as this and the ones before this one. Think for a moment please. Don't just type words for the sake of making comments!

Chino_Is_Back: Its Okay..

But they should equally bring down to the East major military hardware infrastructures. Ihejirika should brace up, all the key military facilities non is sited in the East. He should decentralized some of this facilities in the north.

You no nothing about the new military strategy in nigeria,go to youtube watch BBC documentary on nigerian army fighting boko harams,their military head quarter in borno state is call ihejirika military head quarter where new recruit train and send off to war front.My brother egwu e change ji go, the documentary says that ihejirika is the man that made it possible he brought a lot of improvement in nigerian military this is why nigerian military is ranking high in africa,have you been to 82 division enugu or calabar? visit enugu 82 div you will not believe your eyes most military hardware is there,to plan military coup it will def fail because without (82 div) the coup will never be successful....

Abia state that have industrious men and women is looking like this? this is a shame a big shame,PDP failed in abia state... i just feel sorry for aba.

I hate to say this but it is clear that all these are happening is simply because GEJ, the President, is from minority tribe.
Sometimes, I wonder what would have happened to GEJ by now if not that atleast the Igbos have stood by him. This president has not committed any sin, except his tribe. If anything, atleast, this is the first time we'r having purposeful leadership in this country.
OBJ ran the opposition out of business and Yar Adua rigged the only major election (Ekiti re-run) he supervised in favour of PDP, GEJ has allowed free and fair elections, thereby increasing the political control of the opposition, in terms number of states and legislative seats between 2010 and now. Never interfered to any judicial ruling. We all saw the governorship election in Edo and Ondo organised by GEJ, he allow to vote of the people to count.

I just feel sorry for Anambra if ngige ever have a second chance in government house akwa,they will soon start witnessing promises like building air condition bridges.. anambra shine eye

the same dirty lagos FFK them dey die put i dey laugh

The business of finding a successor for Mr. Peter Obi as Governor of Anambra State is a serious one. Already the market is in session, and the traders have gathered. Like every market, everyone is welcome, criminals and angels, illiterates and technocrats. You look at the roll call of names and you will be forgiven to think it is a pageant for the wealthy; what with the amounts paid for forms bearing zeros enough to make your eyes spin. The auctioneers have arrived, bells in hand waiting for the bidding, waiting to sell off the goodies to the highest bidder.

They fail. Never again will Anambra go to the highest bidder, not after Obi. Our gods forbid. You see, before Mr Obi, Anambra was the poster for how not to run a government. The people who, since the carving out of the state, had grappled with the absence of very basic institutions (most of which went to Enugu following the state creation) wallowed in utter cynicism. There was this general feeling of helplessness, a tendency to accept whatever was thrown at them. And so the leaders had a field day.

The state, my state, was for so long hijacked and controlled by few money bags who saw the state coffers as an extension of their business empires. So like in business, they invested (sponsoring candidates) and expected returns, monthly. Then in Anambra, monthly allocations were shared as soon as they were secured from Abuja. Some of them even grumbled about the sharing formula. Roads were in a state of utter disrepair, there was no accredited tertiary hospital in the state, primary health care was nonexistent, the schools were like orphans most surviving through missionary and community efforts, crime was the order and being an Anambarian was simply shameful for some of us.

Some might recall that we had a situation where teachers were on strike for so many months that final year students in secondary schools almost could not take their WAEC, only managing to do so under very bizarre circumstances. We had a governor who declared with impunity that when his workers on ‘sit down strike’ were tired of sitting down, they should ‘stand up’ and continue. The same governor declared that retirees were dead woods and he would not be bothered about their cry for pensions. We had a situation where a sitting governor was abducted, a civilian coup if you like, and state facilities vandalised by thugs loyal to some political god fathers. We heard tales of how power was negotiated and deals to mortgage the collective interests of our people was sealed at deadly shrines.

I recall with nostalgia, Mr Obi’s early campaign posters, then a little known fellow who was offering Anambarians an alternative. He asked: “Is Anambra cursed or are we the cause?” It was a pertinent question at that time giving the state of things. But he sounded like a loner, a drowned voice, who was this man without ‘Chief’ and an appropriate title accompanying his name coming in to the ring to fight with gladiators. They waved him off. But Anambarians, who had reached their limits, who genuinely yearned for a break from the madness, for a change in their lives and the image of their state, spoke with their votes and a new dawn came.

Even then, even after speaking with our votes, this small clique of money bags did all they could to hijack the mandate. Anambra was in the news every other day for the very wrong reasons – from tribunal victory to kangaroo impeachment to swearing in of then deputy governor as first female governor; to victory at the courts overturning the impeachment and a return to power. Mr Obi had it tough. Through all of it, the people in whose hands power truly resides remained behind him, and when the time came to renew the mandate, the answer was an overwhelming yes.

And he did not fail us. Yes, I am one of those that feel we should not clap for public officials for simply doing their jobs; but giving where we were coming from, Mr Obi’s achievements marks, for me, an exception. If nothing else, we now have a paradigm shift, a change in the mentality of the people to dare to expect dividends from their leaders, an example for coming leaders that government is not an opportunity to share the money.

Today Anambra is a different place; we are no more the butt of jokes, the reference point for where everything is upside down. Many of the institutions are now working. The grassroots have felt and continue to feel the impact of good governance. Fiscal responsibility is in place and state finances enjoy a measure of accountability hitherto unimaginable in the state. Today we take tarred roads for granted in the state, a luxury in the past. And even if you are Mr Obi’s worst critic, you can’t help but admit that today the campaign slogans has moved from the question of our being cursed to people saying ‘they can do better.’

Now that is a good place to be.

This is why this current dance rehearsal for the coming polls is serious business. We cannot take ten steps forward and begin to dance in the reverse. Whoever is to take over from Mr Obi must therefore be someone in his mould, someone who can to borrow the GEJ slogan, sustain the breath of fresh air that the state has been breathing for the last eight years.

That person must like Mr Obi, be from the new breed, not those recycled lunatics who played leading roles in sinking us into the pit we have only just emerged from, not those characters who are simply desperate to put an icing on their political resumes or their collaborators who having been starved of easy money in the past eight years are desperate to restore that stream of income.

They are welcome to buy forms, throw some money around, deface our walls with posters, share Ankara with their faces on it, rent crowds and help newspapers increase revenue with their full page adverts; but when the time comes, our people who are now a lot wiser will do the right thing.

We shall make our heroes, the likes of Achebe and Ojukwu smile in their graves by ensuring that the light continues to shine.

About three people were Shot, and seven others were arrested as the factions of the All Progressive Congress (APC) members clash again in Ekiti state.

ALTRUTH: When did Jonathan become president

I don't want to go into politics but you can see why Igbos are bent on supporting Jonathan just for the little he has done for us. At least he has shown that we are part of Nigeria and should be taken care of. It is like giving a man who has not eaten for weeks two sticks of biscuits; he will love you with all his heart and be willing to follow you anywhere. Enugu airport now has an international status and is already doing well, this is good. That Onitsha seaport stuff cannot really do the trick because it can not berth ocean liners. We are hoping that Ibaka seaport commences operations in 2015 at Akwa Ibom. This will be a game-changer for the economy in the East. Most Igbo imports would focus on Ibaka so that pressure on Apapa port is reduced.

niger river is the 3rd longest river in africa bro

Enugu must be my new base

*As Chime donates 100 vehicles


The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Dikko Abubakar Wednesday declared Enugu State as having the lowest crime rate in the country, saying that this fact was buttressed by statistics and empirical
evidence.

Abubakar who spoke Wednesday while taking delivery of 100 brand new vehicles donated to the police by the Enugu State
Government, stated that this was largely a result of the tremendous
support that the administration of Governor Sullivan Chime has been
giving to the police and other security agencies.

In a statement sent to THISDAY by the Press Corp of the Government House Enugu, Abubakar was quoted to have said: “Today, I can confirm, as the Inspector-General of Police, that Enugu State has the lowest crime rate in Nigeria. I also confirm that Enugu is one the safest places in Nigeria. This is the result of the wonderful partnership between the Enugu State Government, the Police and other security agencies”.

He commended Governor Sullivan Chime for the gesture, saying it was an example that his colleagues should emulate.
