Happy birthday my favorite comedian.

I remember a scene he did In Omugwo where the daughter said.

Daughter: papa you have finished pounding the yam.

Nkemowo: or the yam has finished pounding me. Lol.. ..

You will laugh tire in Captain, Osuofia in London etc. Man is naturally funny. He doesn't force himself to be funny.

Beejayy20:
I didn't say those one I mentioned are cities there is no city in anambra all are glorified town/village.the only city in east is Enugu city or maybe part of owerri.
in other word SE is a shithole!

You make me laugh when you denigrate and look down on Eastern cities from your observations. Okay, kindly tell us cities in SouthWest let's compare both.

leicestercamper:
You are totally correct, Ibadan is a glorified village littered with mud houses and rustic brown roofs. This is an eyesore. Ibadan should be demolished completely and rebuilt decently like Awka and Onitsha

More on Ibadan

Happy birthday Zubby. Enjoy your day bro. No mind bad belle people wey full Nairaland. If e easy, do ur own doings let's see.

Nice one.

Anything to stop the Iragbiji drug lord from becoming Nigeria's President is okay by me

Beejayy20:
apart from awka,part of onistha and nnewi the remaining part of anambra is a slum.
I actually served in anambra

Other places are people's villages which you don't expect to be like cities but you can't still compare it with typical Yoruba villages like Iragbiji, Oshogbo, Okitipupa, Ibarakpa and the rest.

Pacesetterz:
Your no 6 is in line. Anambra seems to have the highest number of mentally deranged individuals roaming the streets..u will see some talking and laughing to themselves,some hailing agberos.Both women and men. Awka and Onitsha seems to be competing for mad pple roaming the streets

Yeah.

Babaken:
The number one steps to achieve clean environment Such as what he is proposing is by investing or installing a company that will stransform every waste bin into useful materials like generating cooking gas, plastic from waste bin so that people can take it as a means of occupation to gather all the trash in the city summit it to the company and get paid for it.

Yes, a lot of people are already doing that. In fact, most Northerners in SE are what they're into. Both iron and plastic scrap is what they pick and gather for recycling.

somboy2007:
Some people are about to lose their home

Let them lose it. U haven't been to Okpoko that's why. U can't drink water in most houses there. Very dirty and filthy environment. Anything short of demolition won't give Okpoko a new look because I remember Ex Gov Peter Obi constructing Ede Road – Owerri Road and Channelization of Sakamori drainage to check environmental menace yet the place remained unchanged. Outright demolition is the way forward.

shortIGBOman:
Na lie. It seems you've not been to Onitsha before. To breath go dey hard you. I always double the face mask I use whenever I drive through Onitsha. It's that bad.

Apart from Okpoko, where else can we find slum in Anambra and SouthEast in extension?

Onitsha clean up is on the way.

Your mockery won't last bro, I assure you.

Datboredberrry:
I can see how stupid and useless you are to your parents

Lol

warlordd:
I know professor Soludo means well, but transforming Okpoko will be very difficult. What will happen to all the shanty houses there and their occupants? Well, I wish the governor-elect well and hope he succeeds in this onerous task.

Demolishing Okpoko won't be difficult. Well built edifices, banks, monuments have been demolished in the past in the quest for urban renewal talk more of Okpoko full of shanties and poorly built houses.

Slums in BillionairesVille?

Impossible!!

How you usually shy away from predicament and bad governance hitting your State Benue baffles me. There's no city without a slum not even in developed first world countries.

Onitsha clean up is on course and very possible.

Okpoko, Anambra's Largest Urban Slum, Awaits Soludo's Upgrade.

Anambra State Governor-Elect Cee Cee Soludo has been consistent in his resolve and determination to give Okpoko town in Ogbaru Local Government Area a new lease of life. This is in line with his goal to transform Anambra into becoming the most liveable smart Megacity in Nigeria. Liveability and prosperity are the fulcrums of the new Anambra he envisions, while ensuring that our major cities of Awka, Onitsha, Nnewi and Ekwulobia are clean, green and well-planned is foundational to the success of this goal. The governor-elect has in several fora declared that his first official engagement after swearing in will be a visit to Okpoko to launch activities for the slum's upgrading.

For the benefit of many who may not be familiar with Okpoko, it is the unplanned settlement lacking basic social amenities such as clean water, sanitation, access roads and hygienic facilities. The landscape is further dotted with unsafe and unhealthy homes with dirty floors, without windows and with leaky walls and roofs. The homes (yards) are often overcrowded and also lack good toilets. The structures are weak and can be blown away by winds, especially during rainy seasons.

Indeed, Okpoko is devoid of basic conditions and amenities for residents to live decently and thrive as human beings. It is no surprise that children of the community tend to perform much worse in school with comparatively higher dropout rate. The result is the recycling of the dynasty of poverty.

Okpoko caught the attention of Soludo in 2010 in the course of his governorship electioneering tour of Onitsha and its suburbs.

The horrible image of Okpoko and the hilarious conversation he had with a young boy who asked for money from him had struck him vividly. Pleasantly, he obliged the kid some money and also promised him that he would do all within his powers if he became governor to give him and other residents of Okpoko a better quality of life.

Eleven years after, Soludo was overwhelmingly elected governor of Anambra State. And true to his words, he has not forgotten the promise he made to the kid. He is poised to upgrade the Okpoko slum for the benefit of the residents and to the glory of God. No doubt, a new dawn is here for Anambra in all its glorious possibilities.

Be of good cheer!!
