The road leading to it ought to be repaired. It's too bad to have such beautiful edifice close to a very bad road.

There's nothing in Akwa Ibom outside few government projects, if Anambra receive half of the money Akwa-ibom receive, nobody will see their break light.

So what is Anambra topping?
Anambra has one of d biggest markets in Wèst Africà, what is d place like?
Even d market is sh*t, prone to fIood always.
That market should generate large revenue for d state not excûsés.

How about your state Like I said their is nothing in Akwa-Ibom, Anambra has robust cities, industries and more commercial activities than Akwa-ibom, If not for large allocation, Awka alone is more viable no to talk of Onitsha and Nnewi

The issue with that kind of project is priority and cost. Most of the critical needs of the people are abandoned for huge project without serious impact on 75% of the population. Imagine when billions are spent on airports, govt house, guest house etc while the rural areas are without Water, roads, security, functional education, poor healthcare etc. The billions spent on elite test can fix the rural areas and reduce poverty. The poverty in Nigeria is as a result of expenditures that are elite driven.
True. While I'm not an Anambrarian or Igbo, I served there during Obiano's tenure and i must defend and commend his decision to build the ICC.

Yes critical infrastructure need to be attended to, but where will the money come from?

IGR generated from private use of the ICC could be used to run one or 2 minor projects in the state. Little by little so much would have been done.

Let's look at the long run.

I don't understand why road infrastructure and rehabilitation is not a priority.

And who told you they are not priority, during Obi's tenure he focused more on roads Obiano tenure focused on other infrastructures, now Soludo placing roads as critical priority

u made a lot of sense. I think road construction, providing water for areas that lack and education should be focused on especially in the rural area. Like imaging if most rural area are as developed as the urban area people won't be rushing to the urban area thereby causing overpopulation

I could remember when the project was flagged-off by Obiano to build the international convention centre in Awka 10,000 seating capacity many called white elephant project, this convention centre is biggest in Nigeria and now hosting series of events.


Currently Association of national accountants of Nigeria are holding their event there

When Yarimo is telling you those who worked as Anambra governor .... Run for your dear life. Obiano is now a saint... Peter remains the best governor of Anambra State

Best governor without a single legacy project? Keep deceiving yourself.. Obaino is clearly the best

Obi came in when it matters most in Anambra, when the state was bankrupt, when there was no infrastructure, when civil servants, pensioners and so many others were being own, education, security, health on ground zero, Obi was able to clear those bills, built many institutions in the state, like, teaching hospital, Anambra State university permanent site at Igbariam, state secretariat, built many roads and bridges, Onitsha business Park 1 and 2, revamped Harbour industrial layout Onitsha, built many schools, general hospitals, schools of nursing and midwifery, Obi built first heart Centre in South-east, Federal High Court building in Awka, State E library in Awka, Judiciary quarters, Alex Ekwueme Square Awka, reconstruction of Onitsha major road to 10 Lanes, Obi built Nkpor flyover, Obosi interchange, Obi built more than 6 pedestal bridges, Obi was the first Anambra governor to build roads and bridges to Anambra River line communities and so many others, still save money for his successor, if Obi placed Anambra in huge debt it would have hard for Obiano to succeed, mind you Obi's tenure was disrupted many times, many Court litigations, Obi was impeached twice in his first tenure, because opposition party PDP were majority they were frustrating him, it was second tenure APGA took control of the house, Obiano had no problem throughout his tenures. That is why Anambra and other Igbos respect Obi till tomorrow

Lol, anambra built their recently. Maybe about 5yrs ago.

The one mimiko built THE DOME, is more finer than this but the capacity isn't up to 10,000

If another governor will build on another state , they might increase their to 15,000.

So all these shalaye self

You're ignorant, Obi did more work, also remember Amaechi, Fashola and Akpabio receive more allocation more than Obi, non of them had problem during their tenure, still they placed their state in huge debt, Obi is more prudent more than his mates then, mention how much they left for their successors then if not debts

There's no state that won't run on debts, in fact no country.

Mention any business man in Nigeria that doesn't owe debts, you obviously don't know reasons why banks or international banks borrow them. (Grab a finance book or economics book and read).

1. He refused to generate more, he partly raised the IGR, then how did he wanna generate money ?
How many allocations did Mimiko and Aregbe dey collect when they build their states then?
Ur excuse on allocation is a big trash.

2. More prudent without critical infrastructure lol. So you think money will be flying from heaven? How do you wanna generate income when you don't borrow do the critical infrastructure that's necessary to generate income like ICC.

3. He have problem during his tenure isn't an excuse

Doom Akure is similar to women development centre Obi built in Awka when he was governor, Doom architecture might be more beautiful than women development centre Awka but it seating capacity and setting make more sense than Doom, both are small capacity not upto 1500 capacity when compare to Awka international convention centre

From the pictures 1 and 2 is Doom seating capacity in Akure, 2 and 3 in women development centre built by Obi in Awka
