No you are always welcome, but my main worry is that your points are so out of touch with reality that I wonder if you mean well for this state or just preferring solutions that are sure going to fail. Countless posters had tried to remind you of the financial position of Enugu state and what you always say is that we inflicted the problem on ourselves, and when probed further you will say we needed to have deepened our development of our natural resources and made some money. This is a very hypocritical position if you also say in the same breath that you supported our brother Chimaroke. Which natural resources did Chimaroke Nnamani explore? Or you are just hating because this is Sullivan and you must blame him for something, anything at all. Double standard.

Everyone here had been trying to drum it into your head that Sullivan Chime chose a path to develop Enugu capital mainly to provide an enabling environment for investment and businesses to thirve, but you will always shift to shout hey, the rural areas, where in Nigeria has any governor done both his rural and urban areas and left a good result, even your hero, our brother Chimaroke didn't touch the rural areas, we can delve into that. I am a citizen too and know this very well. Again, hypocrisy, blaming Chime for what Nnamani could not do.

Thirdly it is clear that you are not happy with the person of Chime, not because of his actions or inactions but a deep seated resentment borne out of an issue which is rather personal, but you should be aware you are in the minority on that. The fact that you cannot even list out what you should have done differently if you were to advice the governor is clear by your changing your goal post with each comment.

In conclusion, Enugu state experienced some modest growth, much more than I expected in the last 10 years or so, and I cannot credit only Sullivan for that, Chimaroke will also share in the praise because he did something also. Quit the bitterness and appreciate the modest gains made in the past years, even if its only roads that Chime paved, he made a marvellous job of it, and that is all that matters. He picked his area of priority, and dealt with the problem seriously, given the reality on the ground about our financial position. For that we shall praise him.

Please come back whenever you want and we can keep discussing this, and I have too many examples and over than 500 pictures of Enugu rural areas. I am in Ninth mile now, so no need to lecture me about the outskirts, just know it that each time you are saying something against Chime, it will sound like a praise because, Enugu state has been punching above its weight category all this while.

there was a thread opened some time this year, you and your cohort strongly upheld chimaroke and ekweremadu and make aggressive effort to degrade chime, that's where the 'label' came. Now you compare lagos, [former capital of nigeria that wasn't affected by war, a city built with the nation's oil] to enugu. Seriously!! No one said Enugu should not grow its economy, that's exactly what this present administration is doing. You, probably, have forgotten the post here showing states that grew their IGR within the period under review. Enugu was among the top 3.
I pointed out where your loyalty lie because your opinion is corrupted by that. That i prefer chime to chimaroke wouldn't make me blind to efforts chimaroke made during his tenure or make me hide chime's faults. So, no one attacking you for not going with chime but make your points with sincerity, not condenming everything happening in enugu state just because you're in opposition to the current power. How can you say we should revert to manual control of traffic when enugu had those traffic lights and street lights in the 70s, but were allowed to rot. You should be talking about maintenance, sustainability and continuity, so that in future, we wont be battling with installing traffic lights in our main city rather we would be installing them in agbani, nsukka, udi, awgu, oji...that's how development goes. Chime's mission was to re-vamp the state and restore its glory, that, he achieved above average unlike your usual below average nigerian policitians.

We are progressing, my only fear,now, is maintenance of these infrastructural and non-infrastructural changes in the state. We will go back to level zero if these things are not maintained.

Spyder880, thanks a million for the pictures. Please, spyder, there's a spot opposite IMT gate, at the hill top, facing the liberty estate and also facing IMT, you can get aerial views of enugu. I enjoy those views whenever I pass there. I think your fans here will love it too.

Don Moen is American! I think Nigerians are scared of anything American! Bwahaha... Go Don Moen and be careful with the diseased and dirty environment of Enugu!

You and Spydder have put it in the most persuasive way possible, but I am afraid you are addressing a dead wood. You can argue as much as you want, the lady hates Chime and nothing whatsoever will change her opinion.

Gee am inviting you to our Anambra thread, there is this debate going on between us and our people about the need for our government to ban okada and other sundry issues we are trying to sort out there, i will love an unbiased outsider to say something about it.

NB: Some people will not welcome your suggestions overthere, its normal just like your being opposed here, dont worry the names they will call you there, they willl attack and abuse you but do not bulge, majority are behind you to make an indepth analysis of the state and her economic outlook aswell as what the future hold.

Will provide you will all the necessary info, we will argue and disagree with you when you come but we want someone to cut us some slacks, we need Anambra from an outsiders point of view, dont bulge when my people start feeling uncomfortable with your assertions and criticisms abeg.

Check Anambra thread and join the disquo.

On the core matter, all that needed to be said have been said. Vanbonattel was the person that impressed me most. With a cute faculty for precise, he cut out the best summary of what I had to say here thus.
No need to flog it anymore. Msg delivered.

vanbonattel:

you are a very big idiott for thinking I am spporting you
are you insane?
you see me praising you cos I believe we smoke same type of cannabis
have you tried smoking dried paw paw leaves before
what about dried shhit

My guys, I read above and I shed a drop of tear . Yes, a drop.

Reason: see me! Little me, being invited to Anambra chat board. Little me!

First, I thank Spyder880 immensely for approving that I not be kicked out. I will not fail you, sir. I will mend my ways pronto. I am proud of you and the spirit of what you have set out.

I also thank all my bros here, Unemad, Centje, IGBOSON and all of you who provide opposing view. Let me share with you that one of the most important natural creations is friction -that resistance that gives a force a meaning. Just like gravity, imagining life without friction is impossible.

That said, BuddahMonk, I thank you most honestly and I promise you that I will visit the Anambra board. You just confirm to me the heading or the url. But don't be disappointed if I say the truth, which is, I may not be able to contribute much. Reason: I don't really know the State that much. I was born in Enugu, all my school and I live in Enugu now. Remove about eleven years I spent outside, mainly in Lagos, I now the issues like the back of my hand. But I can only boast of few nights spent in Onitsha and only 1 night in Awka.

So, as I hate theorists and generalists, I would hate to be hated for bringing generic and hypothetical concepts to your board, but visit I will, and I promise that if I see where I could make positive impact, I will not hesitate.

I am thanking BuddahMonk for a different reason. For endorsing my little contributions, BuddahMonk has proved himself receptive of new ideas, a person for the future, and for inviting me, I say God bless you sir, and soon you will be invited to Ekiti, Lagos, Kemya, Geneva, Washington... I can't list all. I am rather BuddahMonk for opening my eyes that while ogling dazzling pictures of Enugu main roads (Uzo kolota (Coal tar)), our brothers and sisters in neighbouring Anambra are debating ideas to progress their society. Ngwa nu, ndi otu m, chop me up for that one

There's NO thread on Nairaland with more extensive discussion on city and regional development as this Enugu thread. And we have enormous catalogue of suggestions for a faster and sustainable development of entire Igboland here. We don't just discuss city beatification, and you're not new to this thread so 'am wondering why you're limiting our discussion to only roads. you may have to read previous posts, notwithstanding the loss during the 'nairaland crackdown'.

I am yet to see your better strategy or policy for greater development of Enugu or Igboland. All you keep doing is writing long posts without any concrete point(s)
