Collynzo and co,read this. Political leaders of the South-East, Saturday, listed the demands of the geo-political zone from the Federal Government to include the Second Niger Bridge, due attention to roads and solution to ecological problems.
The leaders spoke while welcoming President Goodluck Jonathan, who was visiting the South-East, to Enugu, the capital of Enugu State.
The Igbo leaders spoke through Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State on a day Jonathan fulfilled his 2011 electioneering campaign promise to the Igbo by completing Akanu Ibiam International Airport Enugu.
Indeed, Obi referred to the fulfillment of the electioneering promise when he told Jonathan that the South-East merits its own international airport to enable the people, being the most widely travelled in Nigeria, traverse the world to market their entrepreneurial attributes.


On the Second Niger Bridge, the Igbo leaders said: “The bridge will serve as an important economic corridor that is at the heart of a globally recognized emerging industrial hub, not just for this nation, but for the entire Africa. The salient national benefits of a second bridge across River Niger cannot be overemphasized.In our last meeting, you promised to flag off this project within the First Quarter of 2013. We humbly plead that you return to our zone in the not-too-distant future to fulfil this promise for which your commitment is not in doubt.”
On roads, they said: “The presence of a good road network. The present state of most federal roads in our zone remains deplorable and our people very often use these roads as a comparative measure of the federal government’s commitment to our zone.
“In this context, sir, we wish to once more as a people appeal for your due attention to the Enugu-Port-Harcourt, Enugu-Onitsha, and the Owerri-Elele federal roads, which we have repeatedly brought to your attention. These roads form a critical tripod in our national transportation mosaic. Similarly, a critical bridge on the hump of the federal road linking Abakaliki to Ogoja is in dire need of replacement.”
“The erosional incursions in our five states”, the Igbo leaders said, “seem to have no boundaries. Some work has been done, but much more remains to be done.”

Dude is doing a first world infrastructural development in Awka to place it stand side by side with Seoul, Dubai and kigali. Malls, 5 star facilities are equally springing up in our major cities. Anambra's development is multi sectoral, multi faceted and spreading developments to all parts of the state.

ChimaAdeoye:
Hot but interesting debate going on in the house.
Good Job all! Please continue to make your point without cheap vulgarity biko!

Meanwhile, has anyone noticed the breakneck speed of the developing Awka flyovers?

OdenigboAroli:


Oga,there were far more powerful Igbo who has pressed GEJ for the Enugu international Airport.
Who is Nnamani ? The man has no clout,to be honest. If you were following the events that let to the upgrade then we wont be here arguing this. You make it seem as if what Nnamani said did the magic. Obi led the the most powerful Igbo political class including T .A Orji,Ikedi Ohakim,Elechi,Chime and Pius Anyim to a meeting with the president and blatantly told him the only way he will get southeast vote is if some conditions are met. This was no secret. Even at the inaugural of the International upgrade Obi was the first governor to speak. I think people tend to neglect Obi because he is quiet.

We are talking about different things then.
I meant the Enugu-Ontisha raod and other Federal roads not the airport

Ilovenigeria:

so on point.
God bless you.

I heard that INNOSON is considering 3 showrooms/maintenance shops in Abuja, Lagos and Port Harcourt.
I am sure these three locations will have adequate geographic spread to distribute their vehicles across Nigeria. Especially the cheapest, IVM Fox, design to be affordable for the working class family.

INNOSON should consider acquiring one haulage truck for transporting his vehicles to these showrooms/ maintenance facility. So that they remain in pristine condition at the show rooms.

^^^That car-transporting truck had better ply pot-hole free roads or else it will tip over at some point!

Model of APGA National Headquarters being built in Awka. It is high time FG decentralize developments in Abuja so that other regions can partake. I think this is a good step in doing that.

Now I understand Obiano when He said that Anambra-State will be No'1' Destination in All Human investments!.Akuluo Uno!. Udo dili Igbo bu Igbo!

With this development we don't necessary need to go to any where anymore, but Abuja/North & Lagos will start to come to us!.Anambra the Star of The East & The Light of Nigeria!

nice but Chino that model resemble those Conventional Igbotic four Story building we have here in Onitsha... am expecting skyscraper like model.... i trust Obiano nah! so what do you Fink?

No wahala, call it whatever, we want those Igbotic skyscrapper because we are Igbos. Just like Chinese have their model so also "Igbolese" have theirs too. Please check the next thread! Dalu

@Arysexy, check your mail. It is very urgent.

Nice reply, nwanne udo! Will check it ASAP.

The showrooms are four Nnewi/Awka, Abuja, Lagos and PH.

Again I think it is high time Obiano designate our cities in line with what they represent.

Awka- Administrative Capital

Onitsha- Economic Capital

Nnewi- Industrial Capital

Otuocha/Aguleri- Oil and Gas Capital


That way each will focus on its area of absolute advantage. While Awka will represent the administration, hospitality and tourism as it is now, Onitsha as the most cosmopolitan city of east of the Niger on the other hand being the economic nerve center of east should be christened the economic capital, Nnewi which has pioneered the first auto manufacturing company will be an Industrial capital. Otuocha has equally pioneered the first ever private refinery in Nigeria and Orient Petroleum is also drilling in the area, thereby attracting other oil and gas companies to the area alongside an ongoing International Cargo/Passenger Airport. I think it is already tilting to that direction.

The sky is just our starting point..

[size=22pt]Anambra Govt. Projects $1.5bn investments for 2015[/size]

Governor Willie Obiano

The investment climate of Anambra State seems bright as the state government projects to attract about $1.5 billion worth of foreign direct investments into the state’s economy by the first quarter of 2015.

Already, the government says, in the past 10 months of the Governor Willie Obiano-led administration in the state, it has invested over $1.2 billion on the development of infrastructure across various sectors of the state’s economy, including agriculture, power generation, the hospitality industry, among others.

Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism in the State, Chief Anthony Onyima, said in Awka, Anambra State capital that already, the state government had invested about $1.2 billion on infrastructural developments including agriculture, power generation, hospitality industry among others. He reiterated government’s commitment to the transformation of the state to a first choice investment destination across the South East region.

Onyinma who was special guest at the formal opening of the new ultra-modern office complex of Brande Aristotle in Awka commended the frontline advertising agency for what he called ‘’ the high level of professionalism’’ displayed by the agency in delivering top class marketing communications services in the state.

The Commissioner who noted that Brande Aristotle was the first Advertising Practitioners Council of Nigeria (APCON) registered, and Association of Advertising Agencies of Nigeria (AAAN) certified agency to open shop in the South East, charged the agency not to relent in its efforts, adding that, given the high level of expected investment inflow to the state, there would be need for more professional advice to investors by a competent advertising agency, in the highly specialised area of marketing communications.

“So far, we are satisfied with the quality of value you are adding presently to our state. We are glad your agency was convinced to come to Awka. The quality of professionalism we see in you is definitely unmatched’’ he said.

In his remark at the occasion, Managing Director and Chief Creative Officer, Brande Aristotle Limited, Mr Tony Odili Ujubuonu stated that the agency was committed to the task of delivering high quality marketing communication service to clients, adding that the move to open an office in Awka was the agency’s way of telling investors that the capacity was available to give support and to add value to every enterprise.

Nwanne,rapukene ndi dum tufu dum cho. We know their ways. If it was designed to look like white house they will tell Obiano is a thief. You people have to understand that alot of all these people aren't happy with Anambra. And when you understand this none of their comments will trouble you. I actually like the building,and secondly it doesn't look like what you find in Nkpor junction.

Nice pic! I just love the concentration of tall buildings in Onitsha. The structures are already in place; they may look a little old, doesn't matter. If you look at pictures below with similar setting but in a western country; you will notice that the buildings are equally old. What is important now is our streets are updated to modern standards with....well paved road, dark street lights ( great for non-major road like this), road markings, street signs, cover those medieval open drainage system that take space for nothing and create side walks off of it....you will be surprised by how much the street width will be increased...more roomy. One-way street is another possibility...Bida road which continues as Johnson St. as Southbound and Iweka Road as Northbound...both Roads are parallel to each other and works out well. This arrangement will help to create four-lane road with minimum width, the extreme lanes will serve as parallel parking and the two middle lanes will be high-traffic lanes...this arrangement is seen below. For development, the ground floors of these buildings can serve as restaurants, convenience stores, pharmacy, bars, bistro, basically anything that will create a well-planned community and great night life. The top floors will serve as residential apartments. This is how modern city planning is done today in most countries. The old patios should be replaced with modern patios...these modern patios you see below with green or black canopies are actually cheaper than the welded gate ones you see in the first picture...Bida Road in Onitsha.

Gov. Obiano is on the right track...I saw pictures of Iweka Onitsha this morning and I couldn't believe it. I'm very impressed. I see they are also painting the Niger bridge truss system...these are the type of maintenance culture that we need! Kudos to him! All he needs to do is update most Anambra infrastructure and our streets to international standards and leave the development to individuals. Anambra people have money like water...largest concentration of millionaires in Nigeria are from Anambra. We are getting there!

First pic...Bida Road, Onitsha. I'm impressed by the tall structures but the infrastructure and street needs to be updated to pics below!
Second pic...similar street like Bida, same old structures but well planned...paved road, street lights, road markings in a western country.
Third pic....another street like Bida however well planned in a western country.
Fourth pic...modern green canopies on patios...give the street a beautiful look.

Lovely idea

Igbos should stop ridiculing themselves for Jonathan's sake.

Kenai:


This guy reasons like a real caveman.
Shame on you and your moooronic generalization. So, Rochas Okorocha is now the whole of "Imo"?
What a moorron for real.
If you're indeed a grown man, you ought to be ashamed of yourself for the sort of iidiotic logic you live by.
So, TA Orji now stands for the whole of Abia? When Orji fired those non-Abians, did you, at any point in time, go out to guage opinions of the Abia indigenes in the streets regarding that issue? Because if you did, you would have known they were strongly against it.

It's mooorons like you who breed unnecessary enmity amongst your community members as a result of the chip on your shoulder.

Your posts so far have not presented you as a human being with even the slightest trace of mental balance.
You are an iiidiiot in all ramifications!

They are welcomed to invest in Onitsha, build their houses and live peacefully with us. They should come and join hands with us and develop the place. The way we have joined hands to develop Lagos,Abuja, Kano etc.
In their wisdom, they prefer not not buy nor invest in the SE for whatever agenda they harbor. That is their loss.

OdenigboAroli:


This is a complete waste of my precious time; What I said must have hurt you deep in the soul and I like the psychological effect it has on you. I maintain my ground and all you can do is come in here and scream like mad dog. I am like a ffucking Iroko on this thread and only the bigots will pay you mind. You can do more than a dead rat and your pains will only increase if you keep coming at me. Where were you bbastard when you brothers were running around blaming Anambra folks for the reason why Biafra lost the war. Dont come in here and make one comment and disappear. Sshit brain!

xo because of one man blaming the anambrarians for civil war lost..
There4 we should forget the unity of ndigbo...
Broda,dont foster such an ideas as mentality...
No matter what your neigboring igbos may said,is not as worst than what the yorubas have said to us..
Please
help built the unity of ndigbo...............
as we re one brothers and sisters...
Forget wat a faceless man said in his comment...
it doesnt makes yu separate from those who believe we re one...
