B2mario, where are you? Let us speak with pictures..

B2mario show us anything of this nature in your state..this one below was even built in the rural town in Anambra not even in an urban center.

I am still waiting for you to show up. Show us such similar projects in your state.

Show us similar project in your state b2mario..

A section of ANSUTH-Awka..show us similar project in your state..

Anambra is a mega state developing in all corners and sectors not just in their cities..we lead while others follow

I want to see similar thing as this in your entire state..

investnow2013:
'Phased-Out' is the right word, but not when You cannot replace over half a Million jobs The state is getting from Okada!.Please think about the effects on Industries,Families,govt, Traders, Mechanics etc!. Anambra-State is Nigeria's biggest producer of Motor cycle & Motor cycle components!.Govt should rather at this difficult economic period regulate the Okada transport system instead of a blanket ban!.Job! Jobs!! Job!!!...... Please help to protect peoples jobs!.

Bro you have started Nigerian voodoo statistics. Nigeria is the only country on earth where people quote numbers out of the sky and if they use the number twice, it becomes "official"

Abeg, how did you come about half a million okada jobs? Anambra recent voters registration showed the state had 1.7 million eligible voters above 18 years. Now, i can tell you that 50% of those are young people in universities etc. If roughly 800 thousand are people with jobs, it means 500 thousand of that will be okada jobs? Thus, 62% of all Anambra jobs are okada related? Bro, i beg to differ!

Okada is an anomaly which should be phased out. These were legacies of the period of military regime when our city roads were allowed to completly collapse. We are not asking for okada riders to leave, we are asking them to upgrade into keke napep, which will creat more wealth for them as well as keep their passengers safe.
If states which had no taxis at all such as all northern Nigeria states, Ebonyi and Akwa Ibom can phase out okada for keke napep, i don't know why Anambra cannot. Even Enugu,Imo,Delta,Edo,Akwa Ibom,Cross River,Rivers, etc have all phased out the primitive use of motorcycles for mass transit, why not Anambra?? This issue is one of the great indictments of Peter Obi's lack of decisive leadership in Anambra. Mind you, iam a great supporter of Peter Obi, but his lack of leadership on this issues has brought all sorts of silly reasons why it shouldn't be phased out.

This is what rural roads in Anambra looks like..can you show us similar thing?

Another hospitality spot in a rural town of Neni..I want you to show us similar thing in your rural area.

Yet another section of ANSUTH- Awka. Show us similar thing in your state.

He might be a political bigwig in the country but in his residence in Lagos, Mr. Jude Emeka Idimogu is a philan thropist with a distinction, a humble man to a fault. He has decided to contest for Lagos State Assem bly under the umbrella of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for Oshodi- Isolo Constituency. He is from Imo State but has lived in Lagos for long, hence the decision for aspiring to be a legislator in the state. In this inter view, he speaks on various issues. Excerpts:

What prompted your aspiration to run for Lagos State Assembly?

I want to serve my community. They are in pain, all our representatives have failed to hear our cry. We are being deprived of a lot of things. It’s not the wherewithal but sometimes the will to do it; some of our representatives are so bad one can weep for us. But, by the special grace of God, if God gives me all the possibility to be there, I believe I will change lives positively for people. My lifestyle will make other politi cians, who have been there before to have a re-think to understand that being there is to serve humanity and to serve God.

Don’t you think to serve your com munity, there is no much to do from Lagos House of Assembly?

For now I want to take it from the grass roots; so I have decided to go for the Lagos House of Assembly from the grassroots; then from there, depending on how it goes, I will move forward. But for now, there is much to be done for this constituency, if you look at Oshodi/Isolo community, it will disgust you. Our roads are so bad that and is the major thing. The road is bad and the gridlock too much.

The many hours we lose in traffic is so much and these are the things I wonder and I look at it and weep. When you ask the representatives about the road, they will tell you it is federal road and state road. What’s the meaning of that? We are the people that use it, not the Federal or state government. These roads are meant for me and the people of our community, so most times, no matter how good your car is and you are taking bad roads, there is no way your car will not have problem and at the end of the day, you will go and visit the mechanic. When you look at the cost you incur on the road and because of the problem, your car will develop inconve­nience and a lot of time is wasted.

All these will spur disgust for the area. Investors will avoid our area. Yet our cost of living is high like every Lagosian but not enjoying same benefits. It’s not good enough for me. If we are exactly patriotic, it is not necessary that you tar the road; you may not really have money but you can find granite and level the road pending the time help comes from the federal or state govern ment. As long as those in federal and state governments are also human beings, when they see that you have started to proffer a miniature solution to it, they will be urged to come with standard solution. They will feel ashamed that the people or community are challenging them. Before you know it, the help will come sooner than later.

Why do you think your representa tives have not tried to help the com munity?

Our representative is a-one man army. They think they can do it alone. They have forgotten that lobbying is politics. When you are in politics, you lobby because it is not you alone in the State House of Assem bly. You are to be closer to other members and when you have your problem, you table it and lobby every member, including the speaker that your own needs are more important than others. They will allow you to have your way, depending on how you relate with others there. Everything is about relationship and lobbying and before you know it, you will gain more stability and what you want for your community and that is your bottom line.

There is a popular belief that Nigerian politics is about money and godfatherism. How do you see it?

For now, money partially runs politics in Nigeria. For me, my godfather is God. You must also have people that have been there before you, even in terms of money. They can encourage you, advise you and also help to give you a soft landing and to direct you. In everything, even in the world of politics, we have people that you naturally want them to direct you. You may call them god fathers but in Nigeria, the godfathers that are being talked about are your financiers. If it is a godfather who finances me, I don’t have one. From experience, godfathers are people who will direct you the right way to follow, guide you towards success. Politics is an ide­ology that needs guidance. So, there is need for an advisor, not a financier. You know you can’t do it alone, you need elders around you; elders that will speak on your behalf to their associates and acquaintances. Such elders you come across by doing good and being hardworking. When they have seen your quality and your determination to really serve for the benefits of the people, you will definitely have it.

Why did you decide to run under the PDP umbrella?

For today, I represent PDP and the reasons are that PDP controls the centre and because All Progressives Congress (APC) has failed my constituency. The only way for me to make impact is from the opposition. I believe that PDP will make an impact in Lagos State in 2015. Among the people the APC has failed are the Igbo. The Igbo have been suffering under APC. They have been molested. In the history of the world, it was in Nigeria that a governor of a state decided to deport indigenes of another state.

Do you think you as an Igbo man will get your party’s mandate to con test in the main election?

I don’t have a doubt. The problem we have in Nigerian politics is empty promises but I am happy after all that things are gradu ally changing; people are asking questions. I don’t need to be boastful, people have started asking questions; who is that person, what is he made of? For us to move forward, if I get my party’s mandate, I will make it. I am not saying I will make it alone; a tree cannot make a forest. Most people say I am not part of them, yet, I am married to a beautiful wife from Yoruba land. What more do they need? I am the only son of my parents; despite that, I was allowed to marry my heartthrob be cause I love her even though I had ambition to do politics in my hometown but suddenly my mind changed. I felt a stint in Lagos; I have lived in Lagos for the past 30 years and besides, we are all Nigerians and not only that, my wife is a daughter of the tribe. We need to forget tribal boundaries to move this country forward.

There is a medication called Risperdal or Haloperidol, if you take 2 miligrams of any of them,it will help calm your nerves.

[size=16pt]FG to Ban “Okada” (Commercial Motorcycles) Nationwide[/size]

27.10.2014 at 7:49 am By BellaNaija.com 11 Comments


Okada-riders
The use of commercial motorcycles, popularly known as “Okada” may soon be banned nationwide, if the federal government approves a proposal made by the National Council on Transport.

The proposal for the ban was introduced at the council’s annual conference in Enugu State, and has been endorsed by the Minister of Transport, Idris Umar, Punch reports.

According to a statement released by the ministry, the ban was one of the measures being proposed to ensure adequate provision of safe and secure means of transportation in the country.

All the state commissioners of transport as well as directors and officials in the federal and state ministries of transport across the country attended the conference. They were all advised by the council to discourage the use of commercial motorcycles in their respective states, and to adopt safer and more efficient transport systems.

Here’s an excerpt from the statement read at the conference:

All states and the Federal Capital Territory have therefore been advised to establish a public transport system that ensure strict regulation of the operation of public passenger transportation system through a well-articulated management system for enhanced safety, security, effective and efficient service delivery

The states are to also develop master plans for the development of intelligent transport system to facilitate the development and management of their transport operations in line with emerging trends and global best practices.

We shall pass this primitive use of motorcycles as a mass transit tool. it's only a question of time.

Bro, you have to learn the art of ignoring trolls.
If someone makes a false allegation like that, the best way to answer them is to ignore it. B2mario must have seen pictures of all the places and houses in this thread. Re-posting it for him to see shows a child like him can dictate what you do with your time.

Nwanne forget the issue of bikes..it is a forgone conclusion. I saw a document to that effect. Part of the steps by Obiano to conclusively ban bikes is floating of the city cab, which he has already done. You will hear the announcement on the ban soon. He knows that he has to provide alternative before outright ban more especially in our urban centers.

Anambra city cab is bomb..

On the introduction of Operation Clean & Healthy Anambra, codenamed OCHA Brigade, Governor Obiano explained that it is “an Enforcement Unit with a mandate to facilitate improvement in our quality of life by enforcing environmental cleanliness, healthy living habits, good hygiene and general orderliness in the state.

According to him, “the mission of OCHA Brigade is to enforce cleanliness and orderliness as a culture among the residents of Anambra State; with the aim to become the task force most known for enforcing a clean, orderly and healthy environment in Nigeria. This initiative will be championed by 200 youths drafted from various ministries in the state who have been properly trained and equipped for this assignment.”

OCHA Brigade is a merger of the Enforcement Units of the Ministries of Health, Environment, Board of Internal Revenue Services, ASUDEB/ ACDA, the advertisement agency and ASWAMA. It represents a new enforcement model with inter-ministerial and inter-agency relationships that present an opportunity for the state to efficiently and effectively enforce discipline, orderliness, cleanliness and an excellent tax payment structure. “

[size=18pt]We also need a brigade of landscapers to go around all our cities planting flowers, trees and grass along our roads,parks and public places.

Anambra needs more flowers and trees to complement the clean environment like in the picture[/size]

Chinonso with pictures prove to people on this forum who are far from SE that Omambala is better than Abia.
