you better travel early morning, tomorrow, and get us pictures And ...urmm, will he pay tax 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! 4 Likes |

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. 3 Likes |

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.
