Odenigbo Aroli: Needless to say but Peter Obi has constructed more roads and bridges more than any se governor. Detractors can keep pushing their agendas while Anambra rules.

You sure it ain't a wooden bridge you are referring to.

billante:

The atani-rivers state 6okm road dat is costing 16 billion naira is a different road from the one dat has d three bridges....d atani-ozubulu with d three bridges with a 12km road costing 2 billion naira actually is meant to connect u,just after passing d river niger bridge to onitsha~owerri expressway road without going tru onitsha madness! Kind of a bypass

So the road after completion will cut d distance from onitsha to owerri to some kilometers....and also opening up bush communities along dat terrain.

60m, 45m and 45m.

Na pedestrian bridge?

Even Unilag and OAU have longer bridges in their campuses.

Trying to copy the OYSG but like they say, it's not 'werking'

Like your mama

kaeto: No! This is not lagos state, this is Anambra state. The funds used in executing the projects were generated from savings, it wasn't borrowed from IMF like your lagos state. The last time I checked, lagos under fashola's regime is highest in both internal and external debts. Now the FG stopped the lazy lagos borrow culture, fashola has started constructing gutter, not even drainages, to even complete the gutter is big task so they are inspecting for now, pending when the borrow ban is lifted.

So Anambra doesn't owe right? I'm sure these bridges are even financed through loans. Prove me wrong.

Now which of these two men is living beyond his means? One that makes N100m every month and owes N1bn or one that makes N10m every month but owes N500m. The last time I checked, the LASG has not filed for bankruptcy neither has any FI called the state unbankable. The state has always met its financial obligations and every reasonable government that seeks to develop will borrow. It's the rule of the game and Lagos has never borrowed a cent more than it has the capacity to pay back. .

manny4life:

Nope, Anambra doesn't owe.

He has nothing to prove to you Rhino, firstly, the onus is on you to prove his claims wrong, after examining the evidence, then he'll in turn prove yours wrong.

I don't know if you recalled few months ago, perhaps months after the subsidy saga, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) released their reports of healthy states and non-healthy states, and serious indebted states. Though I'm not good at this, perhaps, Nairaland searches can help, Anambra was amongst 4 healthy states out of 36 states that were debt free, Anambra DID NOT, and I repeat, DID NOT have ANY DEBT on it's books as of the time of the recent report. As a matter of fact, they had reinvested their earnings, and even took a large chunk of Sabmiller SA (which obviously I opposed). So please, if we're to go by any stats at all, Anambra does not owe money. Nevertheless, the FMF and CBN data is there, perhaps, they can shed more light on your inquiry.

Well what can I say, they don't owe because they can't afford it but just in case he's too dumb to realize, development in the third world can only be hastened if financed though debt. Take it or leave it . If you don't understand this, please ask an economist but to your point, every state in Nigeria owes so don't lie to use that Anambra doesn't

manny4life:

My friend, I strongly disagree with you. People don't go borrowing not because they can't fford it, neither did Anambra not borrow because it can't afford it, heck, Anambra is economically sound, however, it called financial prudence and responsibility.

I disagree once more that development in third wold countries can be hastened if financed through debt. You say these things very loosely, we're talking about govt borrowing here, or is govt ONLY responsible for development? Aren't private developers involved? If they borrow, we should count it towards the government?

There are types of financing which doesn't result to debt to a govt. The irresponsibility of governance for not generating enough revenues to cover cost is what leads to borrowing. Borrowing doesn't ask you where you're a G5 or third world nation, the bottom line is the responsibility. There are developments where it's equity financing, where you and I are stakeholders in a project, the govt doesn't really have to borrow.

For instance, in my state, there's a major Toll road that led to Dulles airport, guess what, VA govt did not spend a penny on it, rather VA gave the FFX, Herndorn, Mclean counties a contribution - all these counties own the more than $2billion road to Dulles, and YES they collect toll.

Just like the Dulles Rail Extension, this is pure equity without loans -this is between WMATA and other counties. The counties I listed (thru tax payers) build the rail track (by WMATA) and WMATA operate the trains. Technically WMATA isn't really contributing anything other than trains. Although, VA govt did give about $250million subsidy due to Virginians will ride it.

My point is, regardless of third world or not, if top states in Nigeria maximize their potentials (rather than govt trying to own everything resulting to borrowing), let the public invest in it, development will skyrocket. It doesn't mean that govt have to borrow to do everything
