I love the little green I saw in your picture. I remember when the effort to plant grass around the Kenneth Dike library was going on. Glad the place looks green now and not red soil.

While everyone is obsessed with flyovers, I hope the importance of trees and grass isn't forgotten. Truly, it is the trees and grasses that make a place liveable. If you look at the number of flyovers in the Bronx, you'd think it would be the most liveable place in America. While in truth, it is placed with a lot of trees, flowers, and grass that are indeed liveable!

A law to mandate that every house must plant at least one tree in front of it will ensure that Anambra streets are not just conducive but beautiful.

GBAM!

If we can pay attention to keeping our streets clean and green, then we would have made a giant leap forward as Rwanda did.

They purposefully began an aggressive 1 million tree every year project for Kigali and other Rwandan cities. In less than 3 years, they transformed the ambiance of Rwanda from a dusty barren look to a lush green look. Of course, they simultaneously built roads, new roundabouts, and new buildings at the same time. But the point is that trees and flowers are a HUGE part of the environmental transformation that is often overlooked for bridges and flyovers alone.

Soludo better take his time and select a cabinet that will work aggressively to transform Anambra beyond our current state. We have very high hopes on him and he better not disappoint us. The sand dunes and dust that fills up our environment has to go , for sure...no debating here. The green initiative has to take foothold very fast and excuse shouldn't exist as to why Anambra is still looking dusty after his administration.

Another problem he must tackle head on is road side trading which create room for littering , building of stalls in every street corners. In fact the general outlook of the state gotta change before Soludo finishes his two tenures....hopes are very high , I repeat and he must deliver. I pray for him and wish him the very best.

Chairman of the Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Limited, (IVM), Mr. Innocent Chukwuma has expressed optimism that the company would take over the Africa market in the nearest future

He made the declaration during a parley with journalists in Nnewi, Anambra State.

Chukwuma said the company was looking ahead to being a producer of vehicles for use in the African continent as a whole, a development he said would reduce pressure on the country’s foreign exchange (forex) demand.

He said he had expanded his scope of production to a wide range of vehicles which include SUVs, wagons, commuter buses, among others.

“I need to correct one impression. While a lot of automobile companies in the country are assembly plants, ours is a manufacturing plant. We source most of our components locally. And that is the edge we have over others. If I see a local company that will add value to what we are doing through production of components, I will patronize them.

“My plans for the next five years is to see IVM everywhere in Africa.”

He further stated that, “Challenges can never stop; people will always have challenges day by day, but the most important thing is that each time it comes up, we put heads together and surmount it. I don’t think there is a challenge we will see and not surmount.

“Our driving force is ideas; it is not about volume of investments, if ideas are there, you can use small money to do big things.”

He added that the staff strength of the Innoson Group was now well over 7200, with the IVM accounting for 1700 staff members.

Chukwuma hailed former Anambra State Governor, Mr. Peter Obi for supporting the growth of local businesses, adding that Gov. Obiano had also been supportive.

He disclosed that as Governor, “Mr. Peter Obi placed orders for 500 SUVs, 700 buses and 500 pick-up vans and that helped us a lot because he does not owe, he paid in advance.”

He observed that the emphasis on industrial clusters by the Gov. Obiano administration had also helped in the area of power sector, adding that “it is also an opportunity for people to produce more components for me; that will help.”

“However, it should be noted that this industry is not only for governors but everybody. Everybody should know that Innoson Vehicles are manufactured in Nigeria; let everybody see it as our own thing,” said.

The Innoson Chairman also expressed happiness over the victory of Prof. Chukwuma Soludo in the recently conducted Anambra State Governorship election, describing it as “a huge blessing and gift to Anambra people.”

an Average Anambra man sees flower, tree planting as a bushy thing, we need to inform the people on the need of planting greenery. Put a stop to cutting down the little ones surviving by building block houses and cements. Nature will not be fair to her environment. Soludo could have the key. That's what onitsha, Nnewi and Awka are lacking.

he made mention of it on his manifesto and hope he tackles that street trading, expanding and encroaching to roads sides. For him to had mention about engaging the youths on other skill acquisition method discourage our youths from venturing into buying and selling alone as an alternative as it's happening now. Main market is spilling full, no manpower channel to industries, I.C.T and production. There is hope, you can go watch his BBC igbo interview before Election.

Professor Chukwuma Soludo will work but it depends on the willingness of the people to work with him. He is already blessed with the intelligence and exposure needed for the task in addition to his zeal to effect a drastic improvement in the state. But the people have to do their own part because money is required and Anambra has a large tax base who are not willing to pay their taxes. A lot of new taxes will have to be introduced in the state. Sales tax, property tax, road tax etc. If Anambra people really need the state to have a much better outlook, they already have a man with innovative ideas, they just have to do their own part. Our people pay whatever they are taxed in other parts of the country without complains, but when they are at home, they begin to feel entitled to free this, free that. It doesn't work that way. Anambra people must cooperate with the new incoming governor.

I agree that there is a serious problem of reluctance of Anambra citizens and residents to pay their basic taxes. You should also know that this mentality was partially due to many irresponsible regimes that ruled the state. The tax evasion issue will be solved by a combination of using technology, enforcement of the tax law, and most importantly plugging the massive leakages. The state should build a tax website and people should be able to log in and pay their taxes on the website using bank transfers.

Nonetheless, the issue of tax leakages through their collection using touts and crude manual processes MUST be plugged. If POS can work in Nigeria, I don't see why taxes cannot be paid via POS or online using available technology! Moreso, if everyone has a Tax Identification Number (TIN)! Infact, a state law making TIN mandatory for anyone living or transacting business in Anambra state should be passed. Their taxes can be paid using POS or bank transfers and their Tax Identification Number (TIN) will immediately be credited and turn "Green" color. So that once tax enforcement agents come to the area, they will only need to say their name and Tax ID Number and they can be verified electronically to be in "Green" color (i.e. all taxes have been paid). Civil servants could use their ANSSID number in lieu of Tax ID Number (TIN)

No need to carry dirty pieces of torn fake tax receipts anymore. Tax compliance can be verified electronically via any smartphone by simply logging into the state's database system and entering your tax ID number. The same way your bank can simply log in to their system and tell your account balance if you indeed have an account number with them. No need to carry any paper statement of account to tell your bank how much you have in your account. Then the tax enforcement team will simply check your ID to be sure it is the same name and picture of the person in the system that matched their photo ID. They are forbidden from collecting money. Petty traders will pay taxes via their unions whereby everyone's name must be listed and the flat tax stated.

Yes , indeed , if we are going to raise funds to finance big projects like underground drainages particularly in the major cities of greater Onicha , greater Awka and the greater Nnewi areas , Sewage treatmnt plants , running waters for all homes at Onicha , Nnewi and Awka , major resurfacing of major roads etc. then we must increase what Ndi Anambra currently pay for taxes. We must plug leakages , cut spending for recurrent expenditures and find other innovative ways to raise funds.

The monies Obi invested in stocks and bonds will come handy (about two hundred billion) and we can also borrowed to speed up building of infrastructures.

This is the first thing that needs to be addressed in our state. If there must be physical means of collecting direct tax from people and motorists then it must be in a civilised way.

One can't empower fools and hope for no destruction. The use of touts for any purpose by the government should be abolished. It is already a stain in our history as a state that we should terminate and use to reflect as part of the mistakes we made.

Most of our people criticise toll gates but have not presented solutions to the use of touts to collect what the Government see as tax from the motorists.

I believe what happened in the last few months should have taught us a lesson. The main contributor to crime in Anambra is the existence of Government sponsored touts
At day, they are government informal workers but can any of us tell what they do at night? Or what the peers they keep with them do?

The main thing needed for a place that wants economic improvement and development is ease of doing business, (something I don't think is achievable if we keep harbouring touts as Government workers), then followed by long term projects. That is projects envisioned for a long term purpose.

I believe we can put an end to it forever.

It is a culture me imitated from Lagos. We don't even have an indigenous name for it, so we call it "Agbero".

Since it is not indigenous, its foundation is not strong and because it is maintained by Government (unfortunately) with the right pressure it can be scrapped.

Thuggery is not part of who we are.
Ego ani, ego ibu, ego "whatever" is not how we do business.

Agbero/Thuggery is a clear "Fools and Criminal empowerment program by the state Government.

In the midst of this global conversation and discernment by the members of the Society of Jesus, an ongoing initiative by the Jesuits to establish a new school in the South East of Nigeria was generously taken up and brought to life by Dr. Ernest Nnaemeka Azudialu-Obiejesi. Gonzaga Jesuit College, Okija, Anambra State, is the result of the magnanimous benefaction of Dr. Ernest & Barr. Mrs. Nnenna Azudialu-Obiejesi.

This act of generosity was done for the good of humanity and for the greater glory of God. The journey began when the Jesuit team, accompanied by Engr. Paul Erinne and Dr. Ifeanyi Uchendu approached Dr. Ernest Azudialu-Obiejesi with the proposal regarding the establishment of a Jesuit school in Okija.

Dr. Ernest Azudialu-Obiejesi accepted the proposal and offered to build the entire school for the Jesuits. The Jesuit Superior General Fr. Arturo Sosa Abascal S.J., was glad to give his permission and for construction to begin in earnest.
Thus Gonzaga Jesuit College Okija was born

A month after its resumption, Gonzaga Jesuit College Okija celebrated its first Mass of the Holy Spirit on the 31st day of October. Like every other Jesuit school, the school community, together with parents and Jesuits and the Handmaids of the Holy Child Jesus, committed the academic year into God’s providence by invoking the Holy Spirit.

During his Homily, the provincial Fr. Chukwuyenum Afiawari, SJ expressed his satisfaction with the school’s progress in its one month of opening. He also expressed his gratitude to the benefactor of the school and the many collaborators.

After the post-communion prayer, the students were inducted into the school. The induction ceremony was led by the principal, Rev. Fr. Joe-Stannis Okoye, SJ.

Soludo: Industrialist wants revenue touts off Anambra roads
By Chinonso Ihekire
20 November 2021 | 3:04 am

[FILES] Soludo

As the good people of Anambra State continue to bask in the euphoria of the just concluded governorship election won by former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo, the Chairman/CEO of MACDON Group of Companies, Chief Mike Emerah, has called on the governor-elect to get ready to bring his expertise to bear on revenue services in the state and by so doing flush out touts and those milking the treasury.

Speaking on his expectations from the governor-elect, Emerah decried the method of revenue collection in the state, observing that the way touts parade tickets and demand for payments from motorists, traders and wheelbarrow pushers at the markets, motor parks and bus stops was very crude and unacceptable.

He wondered why the job of revenue collection should be left in the hands of touts, noting that the involvement of touts in revenue services amounts to corruption and economic sabotage.

He blamed the menace of touting on the agents contracted by the state Ministries of Transport and Trade and Commerce, noting that the Commissioners for the two ministries shouldn’t allow agents to engage touts as revenue collectors.

“Soludo has to stop the crude way of revenue collection in Anambra State and ensure adequate supervision of the activities of Ministries of Transport and Trade and Commerce to prevent corruption and economic sabotage. He has to ensure that the revenue of the state is safe, secure and used for the purpose of executing development projects on education, health care services and roads, among others,” he said.

He stressed that touting was not supposed to be seen in Anambra State, which prides itself as the Light of the Nation, in this digital age.

Emerah also drew the attention of the governor-elect to the plight of investors and industrialists in the state, noting that he has to create a conducive environment for them to enable them to sustain, expand and create more jobs for residents.

“The clamour to attract investors into the state is a welcome development, but attention has to be given to us that is existing so that we can expand and churn out more jobs. We need government’s support for sustenance and expansion,” he added.

Gonzaga Jesuit College, Okija, Anambra State, is the result of the magnanimous benefaction of Dr. Ernest & Barr. Mrs. Nnenna Azudialu-Obiejesi.

This act of generosity was done for the good of humanity and for the greater glory of God. The journey began when the Jesuit team, accompanied by Engr. Paul Erinne and Dr. Ifeanyi Uchendu approached Dr. Ernest Azudialu-Obiejesi with the proposal regarding the establishment of a Jesuit school in Okija.

Dr. Ernest Azudialu-Obiejesi accepted the proposal and offered to build the entire school for the Jesuits. The Jesuit Superior General Fr. Arturo Sosa Abascal S.J., was glad to give his permission and for construction to begin in earnest.
Thus Gonzaga Jesuit College Okija was born

Soludo: Industrialist wants revenue touts off Anambra roads

[FILES] Soludo

As the good people of Anambra State continue to bask in the euphoria of the just concluded governorship election won by former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo, the Chairman/CEO of MACDON Group of Companies, Chief Mike Emerah, has called on the governor-elect to get ready to bring his expertise to bear on revenue services in the state and by so doing flush out touts and those milking the treasury.

Speaking on his expectations from the governor-elect, Emerah decried the method of revenue collection in the state, observing that the way touts parade tickets and demand for payments from motorists, traders and wheelbarrow pushers at the markets, motor parks and bus stops was very crude and unacceptable.

He wondered why the job of revenue collection should be left in the hands of touts, noting that the involvement of touts in revenue services amounts to corruption and economic sabotage.

He blamed the menace of touting on the agents contracted by the state Ministries of Transport and Trade and Commerce, noting that the Commissioners for the two ministries shouldn’t allow agents to engage touts as revenue collectors.

“Soludo has to stop the crude way of revenue collection in Anambra State and ensure adequate supervision of the activities of Ministries of Transport and Trade and Commerce to prevent corruption and economic sabotage. He has to ensure that the revenue of the state is safe, secure and used for the purpose of executing development projects on education, health care services and roads, among others,” he said.

He stressed that touting was not supposed to be seen in Anambra State, which prides itself as the Light of the Nation, in this digital age.

Emerah also drew the attention of the governor-elect to the plight of investors and industrialists in the state, noting that he has to create a conducive environment for them to enable them to sustain, expand and create more jobs for residents.

“The clamour to attract investors into the state is a welcome development, but attention has to be given to us that is existing so that we can expand and churn out more jobs. We need government’s support for sustenance and expansion,” he added.

On my way to a function in Onitsha today, underaged boys (another set of touts) were seen peeping like vultures into tricycles on transit. Peeping to see how to tax passengers carrying luggage.

I couldn’t believe my eyes..child touts? angry

Its now obvious that those bent on sabotaging development in the south-east zone are already hiding behind mere counters to prevent the Anambra International Airport from operating.

They will never agree to visit the airport for an inspection to see the Air Peace counters. So i urge the airport delivery team to produce a similar video to the one produced on April 29th. Where they showed the runway had been completed and marked for all to see prior to the test flight.

Like the April video, this video should start at the beginning of the airport road with the Onitsha expressway. Then continue to the gatehouse, car park, terminal building and inside the building showing the Air Peace counters and functional facilities and chairs. Including all other passengers convinces as toilets, luggage carousels etc. Then the completed runway with the landing lights. Also show the functional fire truck for those who said there was none at the airport.

This video will be proof that those claiming there are no chairs and counters at the airport as their reason for keeping it closed as liars.

The video date will also document for posterity that the terminal building was also completed and functional in November 2021. For revisionists that will definitely try to deny history that the facilities weren't there as of October 30th 2021.

Endorsed.

This is the main thing we should be clamoring for in Anambra not chasing shadows.

There has never been development without ease of business and movement.

The Crimals and Fools empowerment program called Touting by the Government should stop.
