Mediocre projects are all over Anambra but we have no choice than to appreciate the projects. When you tell them the truth, they will say you are an Afonja or you are from Abia or Imo. All the streets constructed by Obiano have open gutters without space for planting trees and flowers that is why the state is always looking like a prison and very dirty. If you go to Anambra, you may be disappointed with what you will see. Onitsha and Awka are very far from uniqueness and beauty except you what to view their aerial views from the top of a house or bridge. This is the main reason why Anambra can never be more beautiful than Enugu and Imo and I won't be surprised if Onitsha is listed as the dirtiest city in the world for the second time because of its dirty and poisonous air. I was also shocked when Demographia Urban did not even recognize Awka as one of the 28 major urban cities in Nigeria.

You later became an Executive Director at NITEL, where you retired. What lessons can you share over the course of your career and life?

Trust God, be straightforward and love your neighbour as yourself. If people have these virtues, they will put their country first in all they do and their lives will be meaningful. It’s unfortunate many people don’t put their country first. If so, how can pensioners not be paid their dues after working for so many years? How can people who just found their way to political leadership amass oil blocs for themselves and be making billions of naira? It’s because of selfishness.

When I was in England, I stumbled upon a research that a lot of great countries had their development after a war. The US became so great after the civil war; there was no civil war in Britain and that is why they are not fantastically great. The man who developed rocket technology and space science (Wernher von Braun) did it after the American civil war. He was a German Jew.

During that time, it wasn’t easy for the Nazi regime to spy Britain because it is an island, surrounded by the sea. If you wanted to cross over to the country, you would be seen, unlike Switzerland and France. So, Hitler called Braun and asked how they could spy over Britain? Braun told Hitler not to worry. He developed rockets and they were sending them to Britain without leaving Germany. If not because of America, Britain would have been wiped out. They cried to America and because of the experience the US had during the civil war, they were able to stop the bombardment of the rockets. The Americans then called Braun and asked how he was able to develop the rockets. They took him to their country and that was how they decided to work with him. His efforts made America to send man to Moon in 1969.

Nigeria would have developed a similar technology if not that they advised us wrongly. After the civil war, what Nigeria should have done was to call the Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo and reason together. We could have asked how the Igbo man built the guns and bombs used during the war. But the White didn’t want us to reason that way, they knew they wouldn’t be able to sell their wares to us, so they dispersed us. The Igbo developed the radio and others and they are still using the residual knowledge to develop some things today. When I was working in the South-East and I saw what the Igbo could do, I knew why what happened to us happened. We would have gone very far and would probably be at the same level with South Korea today. They disbanded the people then – their scientists, the engineers, all of them. These are the problems. We didn’t think too.

However, there was still the problem that amalgamation created for us. Today, the Northerners would have been in a worse condition because they had no access to the sea, nothing whatsoever then, unlike the South and the West. The White had seen this in 1914. They also did it that the population of the Northerners was twice that of the South and West so they could control the polity, which is why we can’t win elections. Whenever we are talking about elections, Yoruba won’t get along with the Igbo, the Igbo won’t also get along with Yoruba, but in the North, they always support themselves, especially when they are all in for a particular cause. Having worked with the Northerners, I can say they are more politically sophisticated than the rest of us.

paparazzi1987:
You are right!

Dasuki, Reno, Abati, Fani Kayode, Obanikoro and co are soaring higher

The only comendable people i see in Jona cabinets are Madam Ngozi, Dora Akuyili and Sanusi

omadeltason:
Anambra is only Igbo city new things are happening I love Anambra state that is why thousands of wawa and Abakiliki people troops into the great city like pigs.

BabaRamota1980:
This is the Palace of Dein of Agbor, show me one feature of this monarchy that is Ibo in culture. Just one!

I mean look at the pictures of Dein on the throne with his Chiefs and personal assistants. Where is Ibo signature here? Do Ibos prostrate to greet their King or do you wear Agbada? The Chiefs look like they are in Omo N'Oba or Olu Palace.

BabaRamota1980:
Anioma is a conglomerate of many ethnicities - Igala, Yoruba, Bini, Ibo.

It must remain distinct as it is. Can never be part of SE, never never!

BabaRamota1980:
How is SE not landlocked?

Angelanest:
A young man got more than he bargained for after he decided to play a fast one at a Bible shop in Anambra. The suspected thief was seriously dealt with as he was caught red handed while stealing bibles in a shop earlier today.

A social media user who lives in Onitsha, Anambra state, shared a picture of the suspect after he was beaten well by those who nabbed him.

The question being asked by the Facebook user is, 'Was it right for them to have beaten him for stealing the Word of God which talks about forgiveness?

Dremca:
Which part of Awka is this estate located?

NonsoWow:
Enugu is just an overrated slum. Did you pass through Anambra on your way? How do you rate my state?

BabaRamota1980:
SE is planning to enact law so Federal Govt can acquire lands for Fulani to operate ranches.

This is betrayal after the handshake across the river.

Rossikki:
Shut the fck up. The whites that ruled you for seventy years, what did they do? The Chinese have built more in the last ten years than the British did in their entire seventy years here.

ANSMEDIA:
Onitsha urban trailer park terminal under construction around Tarzan. Another one is also under construction around Upper Iweka. Soon all the trailers parking un-taxed at Onitsha Harbour Industrial Layout will be dislodged and taxed to park on this new terminals. This will further expand the IGR of the state.

Niccoloimhotep:
always predictable

KanuJEWSarePIGS:
E pain am!

Na dis one e enter pass among few members of the rejected group in Eastern Nigeria.

Stay off me you IPOB TERRORIST!

KanuJEWSarePIGS:
"The former President had in 2006 masterminded the impeachment of the state’s then and current governor, Ayo Fayose, from office. Mr. Fayose was at the time accused of monumental corruption."

Fayose and corruption are like IPOB and Failures - 5&6

Basic123:
you mean you believe in ekwueme the shagari and hausa fulanis house boy in 1979 to 1983 to ojukwu legacy

well nnamdi azikwe was tafawa balewa & Ahmadu Bello chief slave for years

Basic123:
YORUBAS never name called buhari and hausa fulanis.


but it's shameful that igbo will betrayed Ojukwu/APGA for hausa fulanis Muslim urine.

horsepower101:
I remember when the character changed from anti igbo to fake pro Anambra.

Patrioticooduan:
Flat-head, who be your 'Yoruba friend'? When did Yorubas and ibos start becoming friends? Just say Yoruba enemies so we will understand the point you are trying to make.
Anyways, I did not bother myself about who will win Anabra. In fact, PDP is for the East so why so Yoruba give a fvck about about Anambra? I doubt Yorubas gave a fvck. Those guys are not Yorubas

Kutis2030:
fayose is going to prison direct no shaking.

Kingsley1000:
SO WHY ARE THEY SUPPORTING AND PROTESTING FOR HIM IN THE EAST.WHATS THE ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF FOWLOSHE'S PUPPET WINNING IN IGBOLAND? FOOLISH IPOB WAILERS

OsuEbonyi:
The pain is palpable. My osu brother. Get well soon

wakaman:
Story!
Tell your brothers to pick their fights wisely.
They where all over the place throwing invectives at yorubas over our stance on fayose.
They even had a protest rally of shame for fayose's drama episode.
Victory is sweet when rubbed in,
But hold
Know it, prepare for , witness it.
