We Need Obiano to beautify open spaces in Onitsha begining from the Zik's roundabout on Oguta road by Awka road. Then the roundabout in front of Zik's masoleum on the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway by Awka road. If these two roundabouts and many others in Awka and Nnewi are beautified with flowers and fountains like in the picture, they will seriously change the ambiance of Onitsha and the other major cities.

Unfortunately, the Anambra government isn't tech. savvy for anyone there to ever see these picture examples of what the people want their roundabout to look like.

The Government of Anambra state has inaugurated the Anambra State Airport Advisory Committee to deliver the Anambra Cargo/Passenger Airport within 18 months.

Lool, coming from the ugliest woman alive!! Ah believe you die.. That's one thing you yorubas have in common •

ChimaAdeoye:
My people in this thread, I greet you.
On this Okada issue, while we should try to secure people's livelihood, the entire state must not be held back by the interest of very few persons. Who might not even be from Anambra.

The government should have a meeting to advise motorcycle part manufacturers that it intends to move forward. Consequently, 6 months to 9 months grace period should be given. After the period, okada use for commercial transportation in at least the 3 major urban centers of Onitsha, Awka and Nnewi should be banned.

FreeGlobe:
indeed! my age is not in question. the thing here is for you to do your job of defending obi with verifiable facts. If you said obi fought crimes in Anambra which crime has Obiano devoted his first six months in fighting? need I remind you that kidnapping was at its peak during Obi's tenure? Can you compare the present security situation in onitsha now to what was obtainable during Obi's tenure? What exactly did obi do?

OkijaAmaka:
Pls whoever that is close to him so tell him to ban

Posters and Billboards ooooooo

Signposts and Banner oooooo

Ban street trading and indiscriminate display of wares outside the shops

OkijaAmaka:
Ye, i dont like like Obi for not banning Okada, he should have banned it but since government is stable lets know whether Obiano or even FG will do the needful.
Besides Obi might have looked into the economic implications of banning okada considering that about 80% of okada and its parts in West Africa are locally produced in Nnewi.
What if he banned the Okada and factories in Nnewi started retrenching, the managements of those coy will accuse him of killing their businesses while workers in those factories will aslo curse him for sending to bed on empty stomach.
The best thing is to summon those manufactueres and tell them the need to move into Keke parts manufacturing because the policy of banning Okada could be in the offing.
Lets not wake and ban Okada, besides am seeing the gradual demise of Okada now in Nigeria because Keke is better and more lucrative. Nobody does hire purchase Okada again but Keke, my brother wanted who will take his bike on hire purchase but the price wasnt encouraging, the person was even persuading him to buy Keke that he will take it on any amount, to show you that the operators are no longer interested even the passengers are become scared of okada

Anambra: Light of the nation marching into the future.

When I praise Chime in Enugu, it is because he had found a way to apply his meager resources into viable projects to transform his state. Not that Enugu was the most developed place one had seen, but you could clearly see he has a modern plan for the place.

Hopefully Obiano will be able to achieve what he dreams about for Anambra state. Anambra indeed has great potentials, but has been a most disorganized state ruled by clueless governor (Except Obi). Governors that most tragically would not accept any form of advise because they believed they knew every subject in the world more than everyone else. It was not a surprise that the state stagnated for so long.

It is good for us to aim for Dubai and perhaps get around Capetown or Pretoria. Although I don't see how Anambra can get enough funds to replicate even Lagos or Abuja talk more of Cape Town. lol...
Although I would never admit this to a Botswanan or South African, the truth is that Nigerian cities are third world slums when compared to cities in the Southern Africa region, even such cities as Harare in cash strapped Zimbabwe! The only exceptions are Abuja and some parts of Lagos.

Botswana is not a bad target at all for Anambra. Remember Botswana was amongst the 5 poorest countries in Africa in 1960s, but quickly transformed itself with good governance and great wealth from diamonds to become amongst the top 5 richest people in Africa today!
I have been there and I know even Abuja cannot compete with their cities....especially Gaborone.Nigerians generally have expensive looking private homes than in Botswana, but the general ambiance of being a first world city with good roads and functioning public utilities is felt in Botswana than Nigeria. I am begging you to do your own research on Botswana and see what i am saying. Their hospitals where I had worked can only be achieved anywhere in Nigeria in the year 2050 ,... and i'm not kidding. Ask any Nigerian medical doctor practicing in that country. Some pics of Botswana for your day Sir.

OreMI22:
I hope he does. I am only concerned on a feasible ambition based on the available resources. We all want our hometown to look like New York or Atlanta, but can we afford it?

Post pictures of Dubai,South Africa or Saudi Arabia cities and you will see an average city there has multiple flyovers (NoT just 3).

Then look at Botswana, you will see that it has decent cities and uses roundabouts as interchanges. Which is close to something we can afford at this stage. We should aim at reproducing the Botswana example of city planning and we would have got it right. The Dubai example is a little bit phony considering our budget of $700 million dollar a year, with salaries and other issues included in that budget.

OreMI22:
I have a lot of zeal to see a well planned city somewhere in Anambra.
Sometimes we like to copy the wrong examples. Dubai has as much money being spent in it than all Nigeria's annual budget.

Botswana has less money with mainly bungalow but a well planned place that makes it a better place to live than most cities in Nigeria.

Compare the select cities and see how Botswana in spite of having untarred roads in most of the estates, but you could clearly see the entire city is well planned. That is what we hope for Awka.

OreMI22:
Exactly Bro!

I hope reputable international city planners are engaged to plan the New Awka Capital city around the massive Greenwood estate at its nucleus.

Our people often just hate planning anything in advance, we just believe in fire brigade adhoc approach when we get to every stage of development, we'll cross the bridge anyhow we can.

However, a close look at Enugu and Abuja, two cities planned well in advance into the future, you'd see the difference with other unplanned albeit wealthier cities such as Port Harcourt. So in essence, a great city isn't just about it's wealth as we are quick to think, it is about making adequate provision for amenities that make life easier and healthier. I know a lot of very wealthy business people who could make billions if they set up outlets in Onitsha, but they cringe just at the mention of the word "Onitsha" because of the general planlessness of the city.

A well planned urban center does matter a lot more than we like to admit.

Do not mind the unexposed mofo. He is one of those that call IBB an Hausa man or think everyone from Benue to Sokoto is Hausa.
