Shut up your dirty mouth this ediot. Anambra is developing state wide, every area of the state is witnessing infrastructural development, that’s why Anambra has continued to be the most developed state in igboland. You are not from Anambra, go to your state and divide it, Anambra shall never be part of any state creation. We know the hidden aim of you envious ediots masquerading as if you love Anambra. Your plan is to weaken Anambra through state creation but it’s not gonna happen, because we shall resist it . You are talking at COOU campus at Uli, even though it is not the main campus of COOU , that Ihiala campus is still far better developed and decent compare to the main campus of IMSU in Owerri. So why hasn’t imo state transformed it into world class university if you think that state creation is the panacea to development. We all know the hidden agenda of you people but it shall never work .,

objpmb:


My support for creation of EXTRA STATE from ANY part of Igboland is more about more resources from the federal government and development for Igboland as it will one way or the other trickle down to those parts of Igboland not affected.
If Orlu or Njaba whatever name it is called is created and Ihiala LGA is part of it, do you know that the skeletal remains of the Ojukwu University Uli can become a full fledged federal or state university and the development in all that axis will be phenomenal. This is my angle of argument ....development! development!!. Coming to Anambra state govenment, go to Nanka, Ekwulobia and Old Aguata and see where the resources of Anambra is concentrated. Please point to me the road constructed by Anambra state in Ihiala LGA since Soludo came. May be I am in a hurry, probably next phase of road construction may benefit some communities in Ihiala but we are yet to see the sign.
Finally let no one be against this very nice move which I fear may be thwarted by same Ndigbo because the initiator is not of APC or in good terms with Uzodimma. Nkea bu Nke Anyi nile.

You are the one that’s onye ala. there’s no state creation agitation anywhere in Anambra, no one in Anambra wants to be out of the union. If Orlu people are desirous of having their own state, why not, they should go ahead and have it, but no part of Anambra shall be touched. Anyways you guys are just jokers because we all know it’s just a joke taken too far .

Ihiala LGA is overlooked as a fringe LGA.
Please Ndigbo that are wise should SUPPORT this great move that our grammar speaking Igbo elites and Politicians couldn't initiate. Let us leave off the foolish wailers.
Finally, I do not care where additional state is created or the name so long as South East is given an extra state.

That’s their plan. They feel threatened. Out of envy and bitterness they see Anambra as too powerful and great a state to remain as it is, they are only interested in weakening the state through partitioning. But we shall always resist it. They should go partition their states, we are not interested.

Chikeluba25:
Your comment is focused more in dividing Anambra than importance of creating new state. You ended up giving no good reason driving the motion instead you are creating sentiment that Ihiala and Ekwusigo are being marginalized in their own land... Point of current; No Anambrarian is being marginalized. We are unique. Ihiala, Ozubulu, etc are as important as Awka, Aguleri,.. Atleast ANSG has never in any administration focus only on the state capital like we see in other states... Even if any part of Anambra leave today, they hv thousand and one government signature project to develop with. So correct ur ignorant now.

I don't even know what it is with Igbos and victim card (marginalization) it's obvious the new state bill was birthed out of victimisation. The sponsor "IkengaUgochinyere" has been in a very loud war with his state governor of Imo state. ... So I am not surprise when your defense speaks only marginalization. Anambra does not discriminate against it's own except for ones suffering from inferiority complex.

Wheather a new state is created, making Anambra the smallest state by landmark or not, the eagle will always soar. I still insist u delete that awkward comment because ur town is not more important than Ihiala, Ozubulu, or Orumba. Below is one of the roads recently started/complicated by CC Soludo connecting Orumba direct to Awka. We can go on and on.

Daalu.

I HAVE A WORD TO SHARE WITH MY BROTHERS HERE SO TOGETHER WE CAN BE WISER.

Construction of Arroma overpass bridge that will link Ifite Awka and Zik's avenue has commenced by Gov Soludo

Here is one of Soludo’s strategies to turn Awka into a major tech hub in Africa

A few weeks ago, the Anambra State Executive Council (ANSEC) approved the construction of the Solution Innovation District (SID) at its permanent site and work has since commenced with the construction of an Innovation Block.

The Innovation Block is a mixed-use building with a 3842sqm of floor area. The proposed Innovation Block comprises of high-tech facilities and spaces for Enterprise Data Centres, Artificial Intelligence, Mechatronic, Robotic and Virtual Reality laboratories.

The Solution Innovation District, which would house the Innovation Block, shall have state-of-the-art sewage treatment systems, well-planned green areas, water treatment facilities and other well-designed facilities. The idea is to make this facility a place where people would love to work in. Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s plan is to aggregate tech talents in Anambra with this facility.

The Innovation Block shall also comprise of other facilities required to create an environment for innovation, productivity and collaboration: An environment where software engineers and techies can play, relax and enjoy while they develop their codes and algorithms. To achieve such environment, the following facilities were included in the Innovation Block: gyms, co-working areas, creativity halls, gaming rooms, restaurants, auditoriums, libraries, offices, conference rooms, shopping malls, napping rooms, etc. The facility tries to create the kind of work environment that is obtainable in Google’s headquarters at Silicon Valley in the South San Francisco Bay Area of California.
Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s vision is to create the Silicon Valley of Africa in Awka. The Solution Innovation District, which is expected to be completed within the next two years, would be the catalyst to attract other tech businesses into Awka.

Last January, Governor Soludo led a delegation which met with the US Consul-General, William Stevens, and key figures from leading US high-tech companies in Lagos. The proposed Innovation Block would provide co-working facilities for global and local tech companies in Anambra State.

Anambra is already preparing the ground for its innovation district to go full blast. In the last two years, the Solution Innovation District, at its temporary site, has trained over 20,000 youths in digital skills, including coding and software development. With the completion of the construction of the proposed Innovation Block at the permanent site of the Solution Innovation District, Anambra would become a major tech hub in Nigeria, and in Africa.
The Innovation Block is designed and built to leverage the resources of leading scientists and tech gurus in order to make Awka a preferred tech hub. It will provide an ecosystem that links tech companies to tech talents in Awka. It will also provide a forum where young techies can commercialize new products and technologies.

Governor Soludo plans to make Awka a fintech start-up capital in Africa. The vision is to put Awka in the league of cities like Lagos, Nairobi and Cape Town – i.e. cities that attract most of the tech funds from investment companies in Africa. (African start-ups secured over $1.4 billion funding in 2023).

Anambra – and Nigeria at large – has a demographic advantage with its young population. Governor Soludo plans to harness these talents and grow wealth in Anambra State. Young people in the area of hardware, software development and data science have a glorious future in Anambra.

This innovation district shall also provide co-working spaces for young people. It will provide access to incubators and accelerators for our young people. The opportunities for networking would be huge in Anambra in the coming years.
Anambra plans to attract the best and the brightest to Awka with the Solution Innovation District. The GDP of the state is expected to grow significantly with the coming of these tech talents.

In the coming years and with this innovation district operating at full capacity, Anambra would be one of the biggest producers of tech talents in Nigeria. The future is bright for techies in Anambra and in Nigeria. As residents or indigenes of Anambra, it is in our best interest to support Governor Soludo as he puts Awka in the map.

Preliminary process begin on construction of dual super highway at Amawbia/Ekwulobia road... contract To be terminated at Akokwa, Imo state boundary with Uga, Anambra State.

This is a wonderful initiative to address the issue of street trading and help petty traders secure a decent venue without the burden of rent, which often forces them to trade on the streets. It would be fantastic if ACTDA could organize all street traders in Awka into a formal group and help them acquire land along key roads to build these Solution Arenas in various parts of the city.

In other cities like Onitsha, Nnewi, Ekwulobia, and Aguleri, the state government should allow ACTDA to work with the local governments to organize street traders and build similar Solution Arenas in those cities. If we can eliminate street trading and shanties, our cities will start to look modern and livable, as promised by Soludo.

You made a good point that an additional State in any location in the southeast would make for a balanced equitable federation.

Incase you don’t know, Dr Mbadinuju is from Ihiala LGA! Even Nnewi LGA has not had the types of benefits of Ihiala LGA. So they are also overlooked as fringe people too?

Learn to stop spoiling a sound argument by adding blatant lies to it. It just rubs a huge dark smear on your entire argument and makes people very suspicious of your true intentions. For which you were prepared to lie and deceive people just to push your opinion.

So a late ex governor that governed for only one term is for you a development of Ihiala.
As you are Mr Know all, can you point out any project carried out by Obiano and Soludo so far in any town in Ihiala LGA, and I will delete my submission.
Imagine a University that was established and had it's main campus at Uli was moved to Igbariam leaving only one or two faculties at Uli. Why that

You cannot eliminate street trading by offering arenas. Nigeria has an infinite supply of traders ready to sell on the road if you let them. Street traders after all are looking for location, location, location. The more traffic the better.

Unregulated trading destroys profits and destroys investment. The UK has high streets where in high traffic locations you find sophisticated shops and high rents. In Nigeria, show me a sophisticated shoe shop. You can't because it's sold in barrows. Show me a sophisticated grocery store. You can't because it's sold on primitive tables in markets.

Until Nigeria understands the concert of regulated competition there will be low scale businesses that don't grow beyond two or three man shops. Small scale equals low innovation, low investment.

proposed Orlu State
AUTHORITY NEWS PAPERJun 10, 2024 11:24 AM
From Isaac Ojo Awka

The people of Ozubulu community in Ekwusigo LGA of Anambra State have condemned the inclusion of their community in the proposed Orlu State.


The President General of the town, Engr Chris Ononuju, dropped the hint in a press statement.

“It has come to the notice of Ozubulu leadership on the inclusion of Ozubulu town in the proposed Bill before the National Assembly for the creation of Orlu state without the consent or prior knowledge of the traditional and Administrative heads of ndi ozubulu.

“More worrisome is also that our Honourable member representing the good people of Ekwusigo, Nnewi north and South at the hallowed Green Chambers, who is a bona-fide son of Ozubulu ancient Kingdom was not consulted also before the inclusion.

“In as much as the bill is for a creation of new state from the South East, which is a welcome development, the cultural and traditional affiliations of the towns to be brought together should be of utmost importance.

“Ozubulu leadership in conjunction with the traditional ruler, Obi in council and all notable stakeholders therefore condemned this act of Ozubulu inclusion in the proposed bill.

“Meanwhile, we urge all umu ozubulu to remain calm as the Leadership is on top of the situation in Consultation with the Hon. Member representing Ekwusigo, Nnewi North and South federal Constituency Hon. Amb. Lovepet Peter Uzokwe (Asiwaju)to ensure that justice is done and possible removal of Ozubulu Ancient Kingdom from the proposed bill,” Engr Ononuju said.

It's becoming obvious that the proposed Orlu state is driven by infiriority complex/Division rather than Igbo progress. Even when they try to hide it... The word keep coming out of their mouth subconsciously. If you were here during last Anambra gubernatorial election and see some ppls wish; u will understand better.

When u thought u have seen it all... Ebonyi is crying of Marginalization in their own region, Imo is crying of Marginalization in their own state. I visited Imo state page, I can't hold bk my ears... and they want to drag part of Anambra into the show of shame but Anambra is so unique and United for such. Even after correcting him, he is still pushing his failed divisive sentiment. That is how a certain state always cry What Anambra ppl did to them when they were together with them rather than use that energy to develop their selves: that's effect of wrong sentiment.

If Imo state and Abia want to divide their selves into parts, no one is stopping them but I will advise them to first undergo reorientation, Including saving their state capital (Orlu) girls who are scattered in every nook and cranny of West African countries for the wrong reason... Anambra is not progressive (with good marks in education, trade, industry, etc) because FG throws bondle of money to them. Anambra is progressive because of their orientation and mindset.

Anambra motto was once "Home for all" before it became the "Light of the Nation". I had over heard past Gov. Peter Obi saying "ndi Anambra anaghi agba oke"(Ndi Anambra don't discriminate) we take Igala and others as our own brothers despite not being Indigenous to Anambra state.
We all emanate from one ancestor, and became Ndi Igbo by birth, naturalisation, marriage and adoption.
Ndi Igbo can't go for further division our concern is strictly Anioma state, any other Igbo agitating state within the South east region should retrace to find out what's their problem and solve it.

It's Owerri discriminating against Orlu.
People of Orlu invest in Owerri but you can't find any Owerri person invest in Orlu.

Less than 0.5% of Owerri people know where Orlu or Okigwe is.
Owerri hosts every govt thing in Imo state, used them to develop; and people of Owerri refer to Orlu as bush village.

I don't think these people are really passing through any marginalisation, because the so called Orlu people have been the ruling class in Imo state.
I only learned the inferiority complex and discrimination in them.
I feel sorry for Mbaise girls in Imo state because they're being discriminated and hated by the so called Ndi Orlu, no wonder they don't want to be in the same state with them.
Orlu people think Ndi Anambra are benefiting a lot from their brothers Ihiala, that's why they want to amalgamate them to Orlu state but the truth is that Anambra don't rely on them.
It's not a rocket science that Onitsha main market is the largest market in Africa.
Three Anambra markets bag best revenue generation drive awards in Nigeria.
Onitsha main market, Ochanja main Market and Headbrigde Market(Ogbogwu).
The 4th is Relieve Market Ogbaru, I'm not surprised to see Nko Nnewi Market not making the top list, but many Orlu folks think Nnewi is the economy powerhouse of Anambra state, and claimed them to be Orlu origin.
Their plan is to include Nnewi in the so called Orlu state too.
Orlu folks should focus on making their town economically viable, it's much better than agitating for a new state.

I understand your point!
Owerri are the capital and their city is more economically viable than Orlu, so it will be difficult for them to invest in Orlu, everybody invest in economical viable city.
Some Owerri folks have more investment in Anambra and Lagos than Imo state.

Instead of seeking a way of how to encourage our Igbo brothers and sisters that were carved into the SS region to get the extra state that is to be added to the SE, you guys are busy partitioning yourselves into smaller bits because you lack the ability to use state resources to develop all zones simultaneously.

A leader from one zone will become so selfish that he would want to concentrate every development only within his domain. It is very clear that the problem with Igbos have, all this while, been self inflicted. If we discriminate against ourselves like this without this Biafra, tell me what will happen if we finally break out of Nigeria? Every single Hamlet would want to be a state because of senseless greed. Everybody will aspire to be president at the same time simply because one zone will want to corner everything at the detriment of the others forgetting that collective resources are for the development of the whole territory.

Somebody, the other day, was even hoping for Anambra to be partitioned and lumped into Orlu to form Orlu State while holding onto his dear Enugu State. He was questioning why Nsukka wants to form a state of their own but he has already carved out certain areas of Anambra that, in his opinion, will be better off joining Orlu to form the new state. Later these same group of people will start shouting that all the Igbos domiciled in the SS region are Igbos, isn't it? The all round development going on at the same time in Anambra keeps them awake at night so it would gladden their hearts to partition Anambra in order for the lagging state to catch up. Is this not wizardry? Little wonder why those Igbos in the SS detest been identified as Igbos because they feel one greedy zone will hijack their resources and form "King Kong" over them. Something must be fundamentally wrong with Ndi Igbo. Na wa for una o!
