jude2011:
Father Ejike Mbaka is currently building a multi billion naira farm in my village Nkerefi in Nkanu east LGA. I went there yesterday. They are currently building 10 fish ponds, 4 massive poultry farms with 3 already completed, 4 massive shelter for pigs with 2 completed. Wow! this is surely the biggest investment in agriculture east of the niger. There are many foreign cows, goats and pigs in the farm. The chicken are more than 2,000. I don't know the exact figure of the goats,cows and pigs. Each fish pond is bigger than a football field. I am typing with a phone that has a faulty camera, so I Did not bother to take pictures. This is the biggest investment in agriculture I have ever seen. I wonder why there is no media hype about it. He told my community that he needs more lands because he wants to build a university. We have given him lands that if combined is between 1800-2500 hectres of land..
I KNOW MANY DOUBTING THOMASES WILL SAY I AM LYING. SPYDER880 IS FROM NOMEH NOT VERY FAR FROM MY VILLAGE. HE CAN CONFIRM IT OR CALL HIS NKEREFI FRIENDS TO CONFIRM. When next I travel to my village, I promise to provide picture evidence. Spyder can also drive to Nkerefi to confirm. Serious work is going on there. If you doubt travel to Nkerefi and ask of Mbaka farm. I promise you that the first thing you saw is wow! wow! Wow!

Bro, that is the mindset that have kept Nigeria so undeveloped.
WE MUST PAY OUR TAXES ,then we have earned the right to demand how government should invest, on infrastructure,industries & agriculture to create employment and food security, education, health etc, etc, etc, because they are trusted with OUR TAX MONEY!

If we do not pay taxes, we have absolutely no right to tell government how to spend their funds since its not "tax payers money" that they are spending.

If we do not pay taxes, we have absolutely no right to tell government how to spend their funds since its not "tax payers money" that they are spending.
Not really, what has actually kept us underdeveloped is the inability of the government to gain the trust of its citizens by utilizing our common wealth and natural resources well to make the environment and life as a whole conducive for individuals.
A government that can't account for funds accruing from our natural resources does not deserve tax from its citizens. this has been the situation in Nigeria since independence.
They may not be spending tax payers money but it's still our common wealth. Every individual has a right to it.
How does one expect the trader in Aba to pay his tax happily. Abi the workers in Ekiti no dy pay tax? Imagine coming to collect Eswama bill for a house under construction like spyder wrote earlier.
Till our government in Nigeria steps up I'm only concerned about what will put food on the table of the ordinary Enugu man.
If you do not provide job opportunities or business/investment friendly environment, you don't have any right to ask any citizen to pay tax.

Yes, I agree that a couple of blue chip companies built in Owerri or its environ wont be a bad idea, at-least to balance the economy of the state but priority should be on tourism by building projects like wonderlands or Disney parks and aquatic parks, by virtue of being sandwiched by commercial and industrial cities in close proximity e.g Aba and Onitsha, Owerri and indeed Imo state is already at a disadvantage, Suffix it to add that many Imolites own industrial concerns in both cities and beyond. People should call that boy called chino to order before his madness goes out of hand.

Yes it is hate because I responded in kind to the deranged goat called abagworo who goes about courting trouble and when the trouble eventually comes he will play the victim card. I care-less about Imo state because as far as Nigeria is concerned it is a useless state- a minus one. I will keep attacking the useless Imo state with the harsh truth until such a time your useless brother abagworo learns to mind his business.

You are the one who needs help because you are not only an unlettered jobless animal but because your parents are animals themselves to have given birth to another animal called Godson Nwankwo. Keep wandering in Lokoja aimlessly, you will keep wandering.

We should also encourage our people to build standard office buildings to create more office spaces for businesses eager to move into Enugu.
Investing in real estate can never be unprofitable in an emerging economy. The lack of office spaces is a real impediment and we don't even need skyscrapers. Buying some of those bungalow buildings on Okpara avenue, Ogui road Zik avenue,or Presidential road and replacing them with just 3-5 storey high office buildings as in the picture will do it and create standard office spaces in the city.Such building ground floor also provide appropriate spaces for modern restaurants or even boutiques

C'mon shatap Abagworo, i'm not here for your likes.
You probably don't know there are architectural differences between an office building and a residential building.
BTW, i'm advocating for OFFICE BUILDINGS and not residential buildings. You had the nerve to post a HOTEL as your model for residential buildings. Where have you seen residential buildings looking like 4-5 star hotels, even in the USA? You even had the audacity to call residential buildings in Enugu " Igbotic" , while in your Ikwerre area, people resided in slum dwellings only fit for poultry and you have no comments on that?

Abagworo or whatever kolanut specie u chose to call urself! Listen well! First,i heard you are a cross breed of Imo and Ikwerre. Igbos will never cast away their own seed but your reprehensible attitude of casting demeaning jabs at us all, both on this thread and the Anambra thread must be noted openly. Unfortunately,ur maternal state,Imo state is governed by one shambolic,lousy and comical profligate known as Rochas.He has since shown to be a disaster in governance.Most of the things you criticize here are lacking and are still pipe dreams in Imo state in spite of their enviable human resources.If only you will focus your bile on him to step up!
Documented history has it that your kinsmen,Ikwerre, seized Igbo properties after the Biafra genocide.As you can see,we have since moved from bungalows to multistorey edifices,the very ones you call Igbotic! It is a testament of pride and affluence! I still wonder why your River State remains a sprawling pile of squalid and squatter settlements with little to show even in the midst of the petrodollars.#shame#
Have you ever imagined what Chime or Obi/Obioano would have done in their respective states if they had the kind of resources Rochas and Amechi had at their disposal? Both Imo and Rivers are NDDC states with mind blowing allocations yet they are yet to turn neither the physical nor the economic fortunes around.Save for the federal government projects,by viture of being an oil producing state and the expatriate firms facilities,River state will be an eyesore.
I was among those who repel Chino from insulting but you have since shown to be unworthy of respect.
Isn't it funny that you still fail to note the difference between residential building and office blocks. Bros get enlightened and by all means acquire exposure more! Iam still waiting for you to open a thread and showcase the economic,social and political developments in River State.Your imo thread is crawling and almost on life support.Bros take time.

Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi sets up 15-Man Advisory Committee consisting High-Achieving and Eminent Technocrats


Enugu State Governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi has constituted a 15- man Economic Advisory Committee.

The committee, which has received applause from residents of the State is to advise and guide the state government on the best economic policies that would help to engender sustainable economic growth in the face of the present dwindling revenue from Nigeria’s Federation Account caused by the glut in the oil industry.

Among prominent Nigerians that made the list of the 15-member Enugu State Economic Advisory Committee are the former minister of power, Prof. Barth Nnaji, deputy senate president, Chief Ike Ekweremadu, industry giant and chairman of Innoson Group of Companies, Chief Innocent Chukwuma, former Economic Adviser to the president and current Director of the Institute of Development Studies at the University of Nigeria, Prof. Ostia Ogbu, Chief Chilo Offiah, among others.

In setting up the economic advisory team, the administration of Governor Ugwuanyi desires that the pool of experts would effectively discharge its obligations by “thinking of new ideas on economic issues” and or give government pertinent advise on what should be done to enhance the economic fortunes of the state.

According to a press statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr. Uwakwe Abugu, the functions of the economic and development experts would revolve around three key objectives, namely, to promote balanced and sustainable economic growth, to promote and engender adequate employment for the people of Enugu State and to promote a system of fair income distribution among the various income groups in the state.

The Vicar-General of the Catholic Diocese of Enugu, Msgr (Prof). Obiora Ike, who has been central figure in the successful entrepreneurial exploits of the diocese has been named the chairman of the committee while the Economic Adviser to the governor would serve as the secretary of the committee.

Other members of the committee put together by the governor include former Aviation minister, Amb. Fidelia Njeze, a successful investor and civil society activist, Chief Loretta Aniagolu, Dr. Chikelu Mba, Mr. Kelvin Emeka Onah, Mr. Emeka Odo who had mercurially ‘transfigured’ from a business reporter with the Daily Times of Nigeria to become a banker and financial guru, Princess Ngozi Nnaedozie, Mr. John Okoye and Mr. Ikechukwu Chioke.

The membership of the committee cut across states other than Enugu and the Chief Press Secretary explained it in the statement yesterday, saying the decision to include experts from outside the coal city state was informed by Governor Ugwuanyi’s desire to ensure that nothing was left undone in the current efforts to shore up the revenue base of the state in view of his burning desire to fulfill his campaign promises to the people of the state who gave him overwhelming support at the polls last April and have continued to show their love for him since he assumed office.

The governor’s move is basically a response to the concern across the country owing to the frightening development in the oil sector which has made it difficult for some states and even the federal governments to pay their staff salaries and meet other obligations starring them in the face as governments that should be responsive to the yearnings of the people.

Hence, Ugwuanyi’s advisory committee is coming at a time when “Enugu state Government has come to the conclusion that the advisory committee will assist us in investments promotion, mobilization of funds, increased internally generated revenue (IGR) and establishment of industries.

“It is our own economic survival strategy and we also intend to use the platform to encourage and reengineer effective public-private -partnership”, the statement added while also describing the committee as an assemblage of economists, entrepreneurial gurus, financial experts, and others from
the energy, civil society sectors as well as politicians who have cut their teeth in the executive and legislative business of government in the country.

The committee will be formally inaugurated soon after the coming Enugu State Executive Council would have been constituted.

^^^^^^ I expected Abia state governor to come up with the same plan/team for Aba and Umuahia but he's still very local with his approach in tackling the problems of Aba and its environs.

Kudos to Enugu state for thinking and acting right.
