Oyibo people full Onitsha now. I have been seeing whites all over GRA and parts of 3-3.

Some parts of Gra was occupied by asia men.
I was surprised to see a large chunk of indian people celebrating what is best known to them at Gra sometime ago, I was surprised because they are many in Numbers though some of them will come from outside anambra. The building close to them was occupied by Pakistans.
It was recently I found what's keeping such asian stock(Chinese excluded) in Onitsha ranging from rice business to electronics and some heavy machine parts and components.
Chinese people are in their greater numbers at onitsha not only Gra even housing fegge,industrial layout and some parts of 3-3 but this year they have multiply in number because Nigeria economy and Onitsha economy is on the increase you can virtually see them everywhere, they have even joined Igbo people to rent shops at main market,emeka offor plaza, venn road where they sell small and big generators, water pumping machines and other heavy machines, you can equally see them doing biz at our new electromart. I think I will stop here but in conclusion...
Onitsha and environs are waxing stronger in commercial and industrial activities which define the heavy presence of asians

oneeast:
My greatest worry right now is my nomination.

As for that thread below the lad mario does not like facing reality so he had to run away from the thread he was suppose to use to redeem the state.

I would have love to vote for you but only party members are allowed to vote.

I will like if anambra state can preserve some parts of Ogbaru for agricultural purposes and for agro industries, I won't like it to get congested like nkpor.
People should migrate to Obosi, Oba(due to its various market) infact, migration should be towards the towns that connects Nnewi and Awka, other towns that doesn't fall into them should be left for agricultural purposes

Nna cool down, I think Ogbaru would be like greater Onitsha and more, some parts of Ogbaru are already Onitsha urban............Okpoko, Electromart, Harbour industrial estate, Atani, Relief market etc. Leave our food basket around Anam/Otuocha axis and develop Ogbaru especially around the River Niger tourist attractions.

Who told you chinese can't survive onitsha business spirit?
Probably that ochanja won't suit or match his market capacity.
Some of them who have shops at main market are doing pretty well. I even saw one about last month hawking Chinese android .
They normally use their country's commercial advantage to do business over here via say they already have representative who will make sure they get their goods at cheap rate at china before they import into Nigeria. Some of them have companies while their shops at markets serves as branch while some use their shop for office incase you're interested in 40ft container.

Anambra State Governor, Chief Willie Obiano, said yesterday that the first phase of the flyover bridge at Aroma junction would be completed within the next one month.

Obiano, who spoke with newsmen after an inspection tour of the flyover project, said efforts were being made to ensure that the flyover area was made passable within the next one week to ensure that vehicles travelling along the area move smoothly.

He said there was need to decongest Aroma junction to reduce the traffic hold up being witnessed in the area.

Chief Obiano said on completion, the bridge would be like the Hanging Bridge in London.

The contractors, he said would move to the other two flyovers at Kwata and Amawbia junctions as soon as that of Aroma junction was completed.

The making of the Dubai of Nigeria..

…Oil bunkerers, dredgers, drug  addicts flee area

There is a new lease of life among those living within the waterways of Onitsha, Anambra State courtesy of the Nigerian Navy. 

The Naval Outpost in Onitsha located at Odekpe in Ogbaru Local Government Area of Anambra State has brought back life to the coastal line of the commercial city as the Navy has continued to maintain security along the waterways in the lower River Niger and its environs in line with the mandate establishing the outpost.

The Commanding Officer, Naval Outpost Onitsha, Navy Captain Mike  Oamen, who disclosed this while briefing journalists on the handing over of suspects and exhibits to appropriate authorities  in his office, said that the activities of the outpost included boat patrols along the River Niger, and all adjoining waterways from Lokoja to Onitsha.

This is in addition to complementing other security agencies in internal security operations in Anambra State.

According to him, the Naval outpost patrol covers both the upstream and downstream sectors of the lower River Niger.

“This includes stop and search, anti-illegal bunkering, interrogation of ownership of suspicious vessels, prevention of illegal dredging activities around the pillars of River Niger Bridge and enforcing non-movement of vessels between sunset and sunrise.

“These patrols have achieved a level of success in recent times with the arrest of persons and vessels engaged in illegal activities. Some of the modest achievements recorded of recently include the arrest on 13 and 15 November 2014,” he said.

Captain Oamen noted that the suspects and exhibits were arrested following a tip off from a reliable source on November 13, when a naval patrol was dispatched to a location close to the site of the construction of the second Niger Bridge.

The patrol team discovered that some men were engaged in an illegal operation of bunkering of petroleum products.

On sighting the naval patrol, the men hurriedly abandoned their activities and jumped into a waiting boat and escaped.

However, they abandoned a ford bus with registration number APP 39 XK loaded with 13 drums (200 liters) of AGO with a driver who was caught unaware sleeping in the vehicle.

The bus  and the driver were subsequently detained in the base for further investigation.

He disclosed that without prejudice to the outcome of the investigation, the products were believed to be petroleum products from an illegal refinery, saying that the activities of operators of illegal refineries are detrimental to the environment and economy of the nation in general.

“Similarly, on November 15, 2014, at about 0233 hours, a naval patrol on routine inspection of the various beach landings along the River Niger observed an unusual gathering at the Mike Okigbo sand beach at Niger Street Onitsha which is located close to the Onitsha Main Market Road.

“On closer inspection, it was discovered that some men were offloading bags from a boat unto the jetty. The men on sighting the naval patrol, attempted to resist arrest by brandishing some weapons which did not deter the naval men. Warning shots were fired to scare the men into submission; rather they retreated deeper into the river into a waiting flying boat. Efforts were made to pursue them but they detoured deeper into a populated area,” he said.

He said they then took the decision to retrieve the bags which were later discovered to contain marijuana, saying “in total, 15 bags weighing approximately 150Kg of marijuana were recovered back to the Naval Outpost Onitsha.”

Captain Oamen said that the effort has nipped in the bud the havoc the drugs would have wreaked on the innocent citizen of Anambra State.

The commanding officer, however, re-emphasized the resolve of the outpost in discharging its mandate of ridding Anambra State of criminal elements during this festive season.

He also promised that the outpost would ensure a crime-free period around Onitsha, as well as sees that work in and around the second Niger Bridge would be unhindered by illegal operators on the waterway.

He assured the various security agencies in the state of his continued support and collaboration in fighting crime in Anambra State.

Speaking after the handing over of the suspects, the State Commandant of Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps who was represented by his Deputy Commandant, Mr Chris Okoronkwo lauded the level of synergy between the Nigerian Army, Navy and other security outfits which assisted in ridding the state of miscreants and criminals.

He assured that the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps in Anambra State would not relent in persecuting the suspects, adding that the mutual assistance have helped them a lot.

The State Commander, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency represented by the Area Commander, NDLEA, Fegge Command, Mr Aladetohun Taiwo commended the mutual relationship between them and other security agencies which has yielded positive result, assuring that they would prosecute the offenders.

In a chat with Oriental News, Capt. Oamen said that the entire area under the bridge which used to be a breeding ground for criminals and illegal sand dredgers has been cleared making it easy for the command to monitor movements of people around the area.

He said it is only sand dredgers who have duly certified documents from the appropriate authorities that are allowed to operate within the areas according to stipulations.

“The iron benders who initially constituted a nuisance along the road within the banks of the River Niger have been taken off the road while the union members have joined in the fight to restore sanity along the areas,” he said.

Oamen lauded the vision of the immediate past governor of the state, Mr Peter Obi on whose tenure the Onitsha Naval Outpost was created and the efforts of the incumbent Governor, Chief Willie Obiano who has maintained the tempo and given all the security outfits in the state a great sense of support.

He said the Naval Outpost is looking forward to moving into their permanent base when the construction work is completed while they also hope to be kitted with gun boats to intensify their efforts to eradicate all forms of criminality within the state.

Anambra state government should learn how to construct magnificent buildings.
I don't even like agulu lake resort building because it looks like Utuu village town hall(a town at Nnewi south).

The building look classy and beautiful to me. We have alot of project going on and money is tight.
Hang your coat according to your size; I hate white elephant projects that a state has little or no money to foot its bill. When we set our goals we must plan according to what we can afford. The beauty of Agulu lake resort will show off when the landscaping is completed.
Omanbala akwulubago.

I think u got it all wrong there. That new govt house was styled after the Whitehouse in DC. The lake resort will be another wonder to behold. I think they are doing landscaping now.

The building looks different, you can see how small the conference center look, when you go there it will change your perception instantly, concerning Anids hotel I don't think is going on I learnt that the state government under Obi's administration had land issues with Awka people they had to put the project on hold.

Raddison blue hotel, and the shopping mall Onitsha will look lovely, I like the way they sited both at the same area.

My friend I don't know what is your problem, why are you bitter towards Anambra? So you are trying to tell me you know Anambra more than me? You are the one that need to be educated, did you see the market billboards in those pictures? Onitsha, Nkpor, Obosi, Ogidi, Odekpe,Oba etc are different towns on their own and they have their traditional institutions. I have noticed you always incite other eastern states against us, I don't know what is your mission, but I can assure you it's a fail mission, you can only rant online the status quo will still remain. Igbo bu-ofu!

.ur geography is very wrapped with ancient ideaology.in reality with cartographic,economic and urban structuring ,onicha is a very large metropolitan area comprising of okpanam,igbuzor,asaba,odekpe,obosi,nkpor,oba,ogbunike,nteje this towns are together due the growth in commercial strength.let us go away from all this skwed mentality.onichas need proper restructuring.

Siting of Raddison Blu and Shoprite there is part of the smartcity they are developing to stretch to GRA phase 2 even up to Akpaka forest reserve where they want to develop luxury apartments.

[size=14pt]FG plans auto parts plant for Nnewi [/size]

excerpts:

"It was a day for another milestone at the Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing (IVM) Company Limited, Nnewi in Anambra State on November 29."

"On the part of Aganga, he was happy and excited as he unveiled and drove the IVM cars, saying that it was marvelous to have cars made in Nigeria with 70 per cent local content.

He disclosed that before coming to Nnewi, he had believed that the local content of the IVM cars was only 45 per cent before the President, Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE), Engr. Isaac Ademola, attested that the cars had 70 per cent local content.

The NSE president had gone into deep analysis of the IVM cars, saying that their society was impressed by the standard adopted by the Innoson Group in the manufacture of their vehicles.

He disclosed that the society had visited the IVM plant in 2011 and 2012 with recommendation that the company increase its local contents which he testified it had complied with.

He said the society had admitted Chief Chukwuma to be the 19th person in the society’s Fame of Honour as a mark of recognition for his excellence."

"To assist vehicle manufacturers in the country in sourcing local raw materials, the minister (Aganga) disclosed that the Federal Government had concluded arrangements to set up three auto components manufacturing firms in Abuja, Lagos and Nnewi, saying that of Nnewi was specifically considered because of IVM’s presence in the industrial town from where other parts of the country, particularly the South-East would be served.

He said the auto component manufacturers in the zones would almost produce all the 2,000 parts used in cars."
