Investnow, i am a great admirer of your posts but in this case these pictures and story are not worthy of posting. Opening a filling station is not signs of development. Please delete these posts and post other development projects.

Obi1kenobi:
If we're going to start posting pictures of filling stations, we might as well close this thread and stop spamming the front page of the Politics section. How is that worthy of inclusion in a thread about development?

Please read the title of the thread:

He is showing filling station in a rural community which means that the area is developing rapidly. No investor in Nigeria will ever put a filling station in rural area if it not going to be profitable.

For an investor to do it, it means that the rural community is opening up.



Do you even know that some villages in Anambra have bank branches? It is another sign of development.

Investnow2013 for president...carry go.

Obi1kenobi:


Hundreds or even thousands of rural communities in Nigeria have filling stations. I don't see how it's worthy of inclusion in a thread about development. It feels like just including something for the sake of keeping the thread going, even if it is not worthy of inclusion.

Please show us another rural community at the same level with Adazi anywhere in Nigeria that has major petroleum marketer like Oando.

Obi1kenobi:


Anambra has Nigeria's smallest landmass and largest population density after Lagos and is the most populated state in the SE. A lot of the places you call "villages" are really just conventional towns by Nigerian standards. It's not like going to many states in the North where you have remote rural settlesments in the middle of nowhere, very far from urban areas. Adazi is not some remote rural area that is far from urban centres. It's not far from Oraukwu where I'm from. You can get to urban areas like Awka, Nnewi and Ekwulobia within 30 mins from Adazi Nnukwu. That filling station is either along the Nnewi-Agulu road, or just close to the road. When you're traveling from the SE to the SW, are many of the filling stations not located in remote settlements just by the Federal expressway? What's special about that?

BeijinDossier:
Mr. Olisa, you don't have to write an essay to end up saying nothing.

I asked a simple question, show us a similar rural community like Adazi that has a major petroleum marketer like OANDO. I took this up with you because you said that many communities have this type of filling station. Note that i am not by any means saying that a filling station is a big deal.

He is not an igboman. There is no need dignifing him with the name olisa.

Don't mind them!.... A young man in the spirit of "AKULUE UNO" spends over 100million to site a petrol station with other sundary businesses like car wash,car servicing,convenience shop etc in the rural town of ADAZI-NNUKWU and somebody who have not invested anything close to that, called it nothing!.

Obi1kenobi:


"Show you". Show you, how? I should travel around and start snapping pictures of filling stations? That is a filling station by the side of a major community road, probably linking towns. It's common sense to assert that it is nothing special. I went to Nsukka recently to collect my degree certificate and on the long road between 9th mile and Opi junction, there were filling stations along the road with nothing but bush surrounding it.

BeijinDossier:
Olisa, stop spitting everywhere. You said that there are so many communities that have filling stations, then I asked you to show us a similar community like Adazi anywhere in Nigeria with Oando.

Note that what attracted my attention is the major petroleum marketer like Oando. In my villa- Uga, we have countless filling stations owned by individual but for any rural area to attract a major marketer like OANDO is what makes the difference.

Obi1kenobi:


Aren't many downstream operators merely operating franchises? An Oando filling station is not necessarily administered by Oando as a corporation, but by an individual operating under a licensed agreement. The guy must have got such a license and opened his filling station there. You have agreed with me that it's nothing "special", so I'm not sure what we're still arguing about. A thread like this should showcase major infrastructural development, big businesses, industries, hotels and resorts, hospitals and major health centers, schools and universities, housing estates etc to show the progress of the state.

Obi1kenobi:


Nobody said it was nothing. It is a creditable achievement for the individual involved - emphasis on INDIVIDUAL. But it's not worthy of being posted in a thread highlighting developments in Anambra. And how would you know the station cost the man 100million naira? He told you, abi?

Banmeallday:
Local development as usual

Obi1kenobi:


Actually, he knows my real name and has said it before long ago. I'm not sure how he knew - perhaps he scrolled some of my oldest posts where I was connecting with job-seekers and dropped personal details. And Olisah is my surname. But keep consoling yourself with your foolish charade.
