Nigeria of course is not a well managed country, but comparing both countries missed the mark because of geography, culture, national character, access to tools of development and manpower.

Singapore is basically a Chinese country with well over 70% Chinese population, they rapidly developed based on resources, investments, tools and manpower from China.

Now please tell us, what do you have in common with Singapore that gave you the same opportunities like Singapore?

In fact, Singapore was part of Malaysia and they obtained their independence from Malaysia, are both on the same level today?

But also people can reply themselves with two different account. Don’t always assume that it’s two different people. It can be the same person replying himself to lure in unknown participants.

Chino doesn’t want this thread to succeed. He really wants it to die. My question is why does he want it not to succeed? Why does he hate this thread. What are his motivations to kill it? The answer to this critical question will reveal everything I need to know about chino..

A lot of people who should be paying taxes are not.

Part of this problem was from the total collapse of good governance in Anambra state a few years ago. Today, we have good governance, so people should begin paying their taxes to support government.

Other SE states know how to haggle businesses to pay their taxes and block leakages of the money into private pockets of the tax collecting officials. They have perfected the use of banks to collect taxes.

Enugu and Ebony are doing wonderful work in this respect. They have perfected the art of collecting taxes and even automated everything in a registry

Anambra has gradually been implementing this system of POS to collect taxes which will help it collect taxes and block massive leakages into the pockets of the tax collecting officials. Anambra government should also open up more areas around Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi to help those willing to come into the state to find land very quickly. For instance, Awada area of Onitsha was a bush cleared to receive Pope John Paul II in 1982. After his visit, since the area had been cleared, it was easy to convert into a housing layout. The same thing is happening now at the old Oba site of Anambra airport. You need to go there and see the types of buildings going on there despite the threat of erosion in the area.

Anambra state government needs to put access roads into "Bush" areas around Awka, Nkwelle Ezunake- Umueri-Aguleri, Oba etc to open up new areas for planned expansion of the state into a megapolis. Lack of government input in opening these places usually result in haphazard building arrangements later when people just sell land any type of way and build as they like in these areas.

One of the greatest things about Gov. Ugwuanyi is that he plans every estate before the building of structures happen. This is why Enugu will remain the best planned and most habitable SE state for a long time. Planning is the KEY to making a place good enough for foreign investors to live. I love how Obiano uses the housing estates approach, it also helps to make sure planning is incorporated into these estates . We should move away from the years of building unplanned cities that look like slums with good buildings. Let us put our good buildings in well planned estates

Exactly!

This is true of all the other states in the south east as well. Individual effort is miles ahead of gov't effort. Our govt's just don't have the required funds to take governance to where it should be....and we're talking of billions of dollars worth of infrastructure that needs to be put in place!

Cjrane2 look at it i told you ignoring these low class Wawa igbos is like America ignoring North Korea and ISIS.

Ogbuefi2020:
Lol. You are a layman. In strict highway engineering sense a flyover is the opposite of interchange but laymen call everything flyover that's the point I was arriving at. Those you mentioned are interchanges which enugu has more than ten. Go to 9th Mile and observe the difference but if you can't i will explain later. Flyovers and interchanges are grade separated intersections.

right fire? in as much as I hate to side the president on this, the ipob case got to a point were certain action as to be taken if I were to be in the president shoes seriously I don't what I will do.
if you must know we the Niger deltans are the first to seek break away but when the people suffered because of a few? the leaders of the group have to surrendered to make peace reign. now I am not saying Biafra shouldn't seek what is theirs but their right ways of doing that. initially the ipob was actually gaining momentum the moment they be take on a different part, things were bound to ugly.

stop reasoning like a fool. a soldier follows other before anything, if you have a problem direct it to their superiors and the government

Nigerians will not appreciate your sacrifice because we have people who lost their conscience a long time ago.
