Sometimes I wonder how old some people commenting here are. All this stupid comment about which state is better should stop, you guys should try to work hard to better your life instead of all this nonsense talk. Time wait for no one.

IDENNAA:


Reviewed and increased from 170 to 250 I think.

We have huge infrastructural deficit in roads. You would think we didn't have a governor for the last 8yrs

The extra 100billion Naira added to the budget was the #100billion borrowed by Soludo, hope he uses it judiciously for the betterment of Omanbala..

Stop misleading the public
Gov. Soludu has not borrowed any money yet...

I think at this point in time,Soludo must stop making statements that will incite pple politically. Since he came into power it's been one statement or the other. His media team should know when to caution him to shut up.

IGBOSON1:


I read the last couple of posts on this thread and just laughed at their obvious display of trying to cause katakata, divisions and derailment of this and other Igbo-themed threads! It's obvious what they're up to! Check the time they all registered their monikers....all recently, and i'm certain they all know themselves or they're probably just one or two jobless bigots with multiple monikers answering themselves! They occassionally make deceptive 'sensible/friendly/on-topic' posts every now and again just to throw you off the scent and lull you into the false belief that you're actually reading the posts of a true Igbo! But ultimately, they revert back to type and tangentially and for no reason start mentioning names or start making statements that expose their true divisive and anti-Igbo intentions on Igbo threads: abusing fellow Igbo states; posting horrible pics of fellow Igbo states; demanding other Igbo shouldn't comment on this thread; mentioning IPOB, ESN, Mazi Kanu, Ikonso, etc! A common denominator that defines all of them is that while they reserve the worst bile for the aforementioned names, they either don't mention the likes of Buhari, Fulani or APC....or if they do, it's nothing but kind flowery words, glowing tributes or to appeal for understanding in their regard!

IPOB will forever remain a curse to the igbo race. Bunch of illiterates who think through their anus. The IPOB noise is gradually withering seeing that the problem of the igbo pple emanate from they themselves rather than d fulanis. The average igbo man has a deep rooted individual problem and the ipob miscreants like u and the ones abroad made it worse.

Another impostor swine seeking to derail the thread with more inane anti-IPOB/ESN/Kanu gibberish!

Dude, Ndigbo are not ‘cursed’ neither do we have a ‘curse’! That being said, we do have a problem in ‘one Nigeria’ seeing as we share the same geographical space with vile, murderous, vindictive, impostor cretins like your diseased self! THAT is our problem, and the sooner we realise we’re sharing the same country with people like you who see us as nothing but ‘conquered slaves’ whose human and natural resources exist for your own benefit….the sooner we we realise this, the sooner we will be on our way to fulfilling Gods’ purpose for us on earth!

Just look at Alaigbo and Ndigbo today, and what you’ll see are a great people limited in what we can use our human and natural resources to achieve for our own betterment….a people held down by ‘one Nigeria’ and sabotaged by those who believe the country is their property….a people who have had a glass ceiling placed above them and prevented from firing on all cylinders and achieving all their immense potentials! We are not inferior in any way to the Indians, Israelis or Germans, but look what they have achieved given the freedoms and space to thrive and develop at their own pace! Over here in ‘one Nigeria’, Ndigbo are made to thread cautiously on egg shells and not ‘offend’ the ‘owners of Nigeria’ and their southern cheerleaders/enablers/collaborators! We try to avail ourselves of the benefits and rights accruing to us as ‘equal Nigerians’, and we’re accused of pride, being too daring or being bloody cheeky! In all facets of national life, you can see how the other two have cheated Ndigbo and ensured we don’t get our fair and equal due….it’s apparent in how they have removed hydrocarbon rich parts of Alaigbo and placed them in other regions/states, just so Ndigbo don’t get the full benefit (whatever that benefit may be) of what God has blessed us with; it’s apparent in how they have tried to shrink Alaigbo down into a ‘landlocked dot’ out of pure wickedness, hate and envy; it’s apparent in how they target our entrepreneurs for state-sponsored sabotage and frustration just to try and ensure no Igbo is the leader in any business/economic sector in the country…that no Igbo joins them in the top 5 Forbes richest Nigerians…we’ve seen their hand in the travails and accusations the likes of Ibeto, INNOSON, Allen Onyema, Orji Uzor Kalu, and many others have gone through; it’s apparent in how they have cheated Ndigbo with the sharing formula for national resources, appointments and other federal benefits, where they use useless large landmass, ojoro population and military-created LGAs to greedily grab a disproportionate share of our commonwealth to their own region/states; it’s apparent in how they have used every trick in the book to ensure NO Igbo has been president/head-of-state since Ironsi was more than FIVE decades ago….meanwhile, they have been passing the position amongst themselves like a game of lawn tennis; it’s apparent in how they have ensured, either by omission or commission, that no worthwhile billion dollar project or nation-building institutions are sited in the south-east, while they take everything to Lagos, Abuja, Kano and Kaduna…and when their hands are forced to site something in the east, they take it to the so called south-south just so Ndigbo are denied any worthwhile development projects; it’s apparent in how they have relegated our main international gateway (AIIA, Enugu) to a 2nd tier airport while giving premier status to the ones in their regions (Kano, Abuja and Lagos airports)….this is primarily the handwork of Buhari and Hadi-Sirika, who seem to have sworn that no airport in the south-east should have the same status as Kano airport, and this is why they have abandoned the new terminal at AIIA, Enugu while using extra-budgetary provisions to expand the ones Stella Odua started building in Lagos, Abuja, Kano and Port Harcourt….till today, Hadi-Sirika has not stepped foot in the completed and ongoing airports in Anambra and Ebonyi; etc-etc-etc!

All the aforementioned doesn’t register with you! All you know and want to put out there is that Mazi Kanu, IPOB and ESN caused all the marginalisation and state-sanctioned MURDER Ndigbo have been subjected to in your ‘one Nigeria’! It hasn’t dawned on you that the existence of Mazi Kanu, IPOB and ESN are all the result….are a natural consequence of all the unaddressed wickedness Ndigbo have faced and continue to face in Nigeria! Before Mazi Kanu and IPOB, there was the more peaceful but ridiculed MASSOB! How did the Nigerian state engage with them to try and address their grievances? I can tell you for free that if anything happens to Mazi Kanu, and if you don’t use this opportunity to try and douse tension and seek for a political solution to the Kanu/IPOB question, that which will follow….having seen that grammar and peaceful agitation gets one nowhere, will be much worse and would most likely see a welcome end to the Nigerian experiment!

Mr Governor further said that the state government has started to play it's own part by putting in place road infrastructures, noting that about 206km of roads have already been awarded including the Amansea, Ebenebe, Oba Ofemili road with intervention works ongoing on other major and strategic roads across the state to ease movement of vehicles and make investments vaible because when it is viable more persons will be eager to invest.

Yes, Anambra must be restored to its safe status. with the kind of envy we have seen from cretins like NwekereNdoki, Pacesetterz from other states on Anambra state in this thread alone, one wont doubt they can go any length to disrupt development in the state. More vigilantees need to rise up to this occasion and realize we are dealing with bitter criminal elements from other states.

Chino, one of the primary ones, is in his late 30s early 40s. He was trying to get into Canada at one point and it didn't work out. Since then he seems to use this as a coping mechanism.

Desmond Nedu Alaegbu is in his 20s

I believe there are others, but Chino's case is the most sad. Desmond still has time to mature.

What is everyone's assessment of Soludo so far. From that outside looking in, I don't hear too much good news and was recently confused by his declaration to fight against 'idolatry' (Odinani na Omenala ndi igbo) because he was alarmed that it is growing among the youth

What is your business with Soludo?
Are you from anambra state?

Go and assess Hope Uzodimma first before looking for soludo to assess.

Charity they say begins at home.
