Two sides to a coin anyway as someone earlier said. I have friends in the UK and USA who had great jobs here as an engineer and an economist but relocated and are nurses there and doing well, though they never trained as nurses here. A member of my clique of friends those days, hanging out stuff, a barrister and doing so well now works in the Underground in London and finds it hard relating to old friends while most of us are married and doing well. A friend working in Lagos called me 3 months ago telling me he's now in Dubai working in a construction company he signed a contract for( is it 3 or 5 years) and guess for how much? 1600 dirham or whatever he called it, about 70,000 naira. this was somebody doing well in an insurance company in Lagos.
Two sides to a coin to me but will never leave this place.

It's all love, nwanne.

Nsogbu aduro, daalu.

Oby Ezekwesili and late Dora (RIP)
Missed the greatest liars of all time.... Labaran Maku and Frank Nweke Jnr under GEJ and OBJ administrations respectively, those guys can lie and make the devil blush with envy.

I guess cultists at work, RIP.

Not again

Chino, stop the derailment please

asha80:
hehe well shebi some guys have been clamouring that anambra should focus on specific sectors and not trying to do everything at the same time....maybe the clamour has reached the ears of anambra state government house lol...moreover i do not think sanitation can be classified as capital expenditure as i think it is recurrent.

I get your drift

According to the Budget proposal, Road
Construction has a budget provision of one
– point -five billion naira while Agricultural
Sector has the largest percentage of
allocation of (4.15%) among the other
economic sectors, excluding Road Works.
Education sector will receive 45.6% of the
total expenditure of the social sector while
a total of one–point eight billion naira has
been mapped out for the initial take off of
the Pension Scheme.

What is 45.6% of total expenditure of the SOCIAL SECTOR?

asha80:
according to this website road construction gulped 48 percent of capital exp. While education got 45.6percent of social expedinture whatever that means...http://www.m.worldstagegroup.com/readnews.php?&id=19112&active=news

You're right, goggled some news sites and it was same so my question is what is left for health, sanitation and the likes..........merely 2%? I don't get it o.

Myluv1:
It's true, "Road infrastructure and education got the lion share of the capital budget of 48 percent and 46 percent respectively"
Source: http://www.punchng.com/news/anambra-presents-n165bn-2015-budget/

Thanks then, i only went through the source that was provided and never knew other news outlets have gotten the full breakdown.
@MOBJECTIVE, no vex.
But wait o, 48+46+4.1=98.1
Is this feasible or is there a mistake somewhere between punch and channelstv reports?

MOBJECTIVE:
"Road infrastructure and education got the lion share of the capital budget of 48 percent and 46 percent respectively"

46 percent of the capital budget is about 51 billion.. On education alone?

Bros no vex o, the only breakdown on the capital expenditure was
Road........48%
Agriculture..... 4.1%
abi you get another source of the breakdown?

The way the governor is handling security in the state is so on point, guys coming home this Yuletide, I advice you to feel free to proceed into Onitsha and onward to your destination even after midnight.You are covered, those tough looking soldiers and policemen all over town no dey take eye see those miscreants, na straight to SARS office in Awkuzu be that.

That budget Gov Obiano presented made sense, about 66% for capital projects and 33% for recurrent. Hope other States emulate this.

What if he promises you so he can have your votes to return next year and runup to 2019 election, he reneges, what happens. I'll continue to say it that Igbos should mind their businesses of making money and forget politics for those who know the ropes.

Nice thread

GEJ is making Abacha look like a saint, yesterday it was NASS and now this. This is a threat to our democracy and GEJ is not above 170 million Nigerians.

Xano:
LOL!! Nothing?! LOL!! What media hype? Dude, I travel those roads. Enugu - Awka will take time to finish with the pace. I appreciate Julius Berger and SETRACO work along Aba - Port Harcourt road. I've seen the airport. By the way, you've not answered her questions.

What questions and is she in the SE? Tell us the state of the FG roads in the SE, we live here and see things ourselves so stop the lies.

Adindupeter:
. He hasn't done anything but we'll give him 99.999% of our votes cum 2015. You can lament all you want..

Who cares, we remain where we are.

Xano:
I've read your posts on this topic, babyosisi showed evidence, but you did none. It appears you rarely travel. In addition to hers, do you know there are two companies handling Aba-Port Harcourt road? Julius Berger and SETRACO. There are others.

That the airports she displayed being flooded during a natural disaster is of no use, has Enugu had such recently? The topic is on the performance of GEJ, traveled or not, GEJ is a traitor as far as the SE is concerned. Nothing on ground, forget the media hype and stuff, babyosisi and millions of other Umuigbo will be home this Xmas to see things themselves

babyosisi:
OBJoke started but didn't complete it
GEJ did
Let's get the records straight

I dey wait

babyosisi:
Onitsha alone doesn't make up Igboland

Orient refinery in anambra happened under GEJ's presidency too
If Onitsha is bad,blame your governor and commissioners not GEJ
GEJ can't clean up the heap of dirt or construct state roads
Soon people will blame GEJ when they are unable to impregnate their wives

Onitsha isn't bad, the governor repaired the part of FG road within Onitsha but what what has the FG done about the other length of the road?

babyosisi:
Please list his achievements in Igboland

These are GEJ's that are verifiable
I am certain there are others
Tell us what OBJ did for Igboland

Just the way he 'dashed' Bayelsa some oil wells.... story. So that's achievement
our federal roads nko
you coming down this Xmas but not using the federal roads?
Nne cool o dowm

babyosisi:
I wrote a list

That list no hold, i stay in Onitsha

babyosisi:
Was OBJ better?

Far better even if i dislike him, GEJ is just a disaster

babyosisi:
Read my post again
I am not saying he is superb but compared to there he has faired better for out people
If you doubt me please name the person who has?

He only tried as per ministerial posts that benefited few, what else?

babyosisi:
I am not saying GEJ is a saintBut he is the best thing that has happened to Igboland as far as presidency is concerned
I have listed some of the reasons

GEJ is the worst tragedy that happened to Alaigbo

babyosisi:
This was Gatwick last Christmas and the one below is in corona California

Nne'm, come home and see yourself

babyosisi:
This is laguardia airport in NY after a flood
The second is Bangkok
Nothing new
Heavy rains can cause flooding anywhere

Is that all, mention his achievements, Enugu airport was flooded after a slight rain. Where are the roads? People are complaining so pass this to the clueless one.Onitsha port is moribund, not even a canoe had berthed, Niger river not dredged after Yar'dua, .
Do you stay in the SE?

babyosisi:
GEJ remodelled Enugu Airport, that now has international flights

GEJ completed the Owerri-Onitsha which OBJ abandoned in 2006.


GEJ has also remodelled the Sam Mbakwe Airport in Owerri. I saw this happen with my korokoro eyes.before GEJ that airport looked like a motor , pleaspark


GEJ has built a new federal university in Afikpo, EBonyi State.

GEJ gave the SE her first COAS since the civil war

The oil wells Abia regained from Rivers state stolen by Gowon

Those are just a few

Remodeled flooded airport abi, Onitsha- Owerri road completed by GEJ? And guess what, that's the only federal road in the SE worthy of mention
Do you live in the SE? Stop getting brainwashed by the saTANists

babyosisi:
Is any South easterner complaining to you?
GEJ and Yaradua has done more for the SE than all former presidents and heads of states put together
Quote me

First of all it was in yaradua and GEJ's rule that the Abia regained oil wells that were taken from them and given to Rivers state
That alone is a major deal

Hold it sister, i live in the SE. Gist us his achievements in the SE and..... hey, do you live in the SE? GEJ is a joke.

Dividing the polity with religion, the clueless one should be shoved off come 2015. Mind you, I'm Igbo living deep in the SE, for bigots and those who've sold their soul for a morsel of bread.

Firefire:
OBJ that cannot even construct a motorable road to his Otta Farm ? - SMH

He at least constructed Onitsha-Owerri road, which has GEJ constructed in the SE? In as much as i dislike OBJ, GEJ is 'worser' . His cluelessness is legendary and his minders ain't helping matters for him.
