The ever rising cost of land is something that might stifle development of residential buildings in Igboland

On the Obiano question.
The governor is doing very well. Dualizing township roads in already built up and congested Onitsha and Nnewi might to out as mission impossible due to the level of demolitions and compensation required.
He could introduce certain roads as One-way roads. Then put functional traffic lights to guide traffic orderly. OCHA brigade should always stay at those strategic junctions and apprehend traffic offenders and impose heavy fines.

Most importantly, Obiano must Dualize the Onitsha -"33"- Umuleri road A.K.A (Nkisi road). Even if it's a federal road. That road holds the key to unlocking new areas that will enable Onitsha become a mega-city as well as open up the coastline shores of Anambra for development of world class business districts, hotels and malls. Unless that road is finalized to guarantee very smooth flow of traffic, no reasonable development will occur along that axis where Anambra still has vast land to build world class city very close to Onitsha

Anambra also needs to place more emphasis on completing the ORIENT PETROLEUM REFINERY than the silly airport project. A very small refinery can be completed as the first phase while capacity is gradually added.

ANSMEDIA:



There's no road that cannot be worked, it is a matter of government will. Roads like 3-3, Awka road to DMGS, Limca roads to mention a few have enough allowance for expansion. And i know that these are some of the roads that will be awarded soon for reconstruction/expansion. As for the airport, it is as important as the refinery project or even more. We all need all of them because they hold so much to the potential of the state.

I can see here many of us are wishy-washy in our fantasy of anambra.

1. What is anambra’s IGR and budget for the year? Last time I checked, the budget was 800million.

2. The only governor that has successfully pulled out a dualization was Chimaroke of enugu at new haven. The state is still paying heavily for it after demolishing over 20 houses.

3. Anambra is not a 1 town state!! After Lagos, anambra is the second megalopolis in Nigeria. Which means development is relatively widespread.

4. You all seem to forget that there’re 3 tiers of government: state, local and federal. What are the other 2 tiers doing within their ambient? I don’t see no one writing censures in relation to that.

5. In all your pontifications about beautification, none of you called out the local government which by law is actually their job.

..Obiano can do better doesn’t mean he’s not doing well.
An estate, a new hotel and an old people’s home is currently being constructed in my village..my village!!

A plethora of networking roads, a cassava processing plant, new town hall and various other investments is what my village of ogidi is enjoying from Obiano..

...yes, I have a 4 flat in my village..my village and I make 700k a year from it thanks to the benue indigenes fleeing their homeland to settle in anambra

Goodmorning my people. A lot good news are coming Anambra except you are not looking rightly. Pic of inner streets. Photo credit ansmedia

ANSMEDIA:
I am sick and tired of some people coming here to misinform the public. Are these not new areas being opened for development to spread in Awka? Why are some you bent on misinformation? Recently i posted roads being done at inner Fegge but some people are bent on looking the other way only to come back and continue their misinformation. Enough is enough.

raker300:
its a shame that anambrarians would go lengths to pull down anambra over political affiliations.

Enugu has survived because it has been a single political party state for many years.

I stay in enugu but I make bulk of my money from anambra..same goes to thousands of us here in enugu.

I transverse through the interiors of anambra and I can tell you that state is doing exceptionally well.

I was in ekwulobia last week and I can say that place is no longer a village..same story goes to many supposed villages in anambra.

..how can someone hate that?

ANSMEDIA:



This picture is more a year. Esther Obiakor road has long been concluded. You made similar error when you posted very old pictures of Agulu Lake project. Please always make sure your pictures are not more than 3-4 week. We need current pictures here and not just any picture even if it is 2yrs. Thank you

That easily tells you the level of revenue leakages taking place in Anambra at all levels of revenue collection.

The state government should first register all businesses and buildings in the state exactly by their GPS coordinates and street address.
Then use a system of tax payment whereby these people simply transfer the required sum to the government account in a friendly bank such as Fidelity, Diamond bank etc. Then it is the bank that will issue the tax payer with tax payment certificate and NOT the tax task-force people.

The tax task-force are only there to ensure that businesses display an unexpired tax payment certificate or they are closed down. It is possible that the task-force people will tell the tax defaulter to pay bribes instead of paying their taxes. So the government should constantly rotate the tax task-force teams so that those operating in Onitsha are sometimes sent to Awka, those in Awka are sent to Nnewi and those in Nnewi are sent to Onitsha. The rotation will make businesses to choose to pay their taxes rather than perpetually bribing tax officials.

You're not been sincere to Anambra people with your shallow excuse. If Ebonyi State can dualized many roads with solid work despite her low IGR and federal allocation.

Rochas has dualized more roads and expanded others than the either Anambra State government from 99 till today, you might tag his projects substandard but the bush paths Anambra State government pour hot asphalt on aren't even better.

Nnamani opened up many places in Enugu and built solid infrastructures that is why Enugu is the choiced place for real estate in Igboland today. Enugu government open up connecting satellite town to link the main city while Anambra State is busy building roads to agrarian communities that have less economic impact on the populace.

If Anambra cities are witnessing upsurge in population due to the volatile nature of Northern Nigeria. If our government have a little bit creative and proactive they would be attending to the cities cry for expansion of infrastructures.

Am Very ashamed whenever Anambra people come online to brag about infrastructures but they can't even point to a single project they are proud of. Many states now and building expansive roads with high raised sidewalks and closed drainages, some loud mouthed people in Anambra State are still making noise of good roads network that are poorly executed.

infrastructurally there is nothing to celebrate in Anambra State unless you're under the government payroll or have sold your soul to the devil by telling lies online.[/s]

I used to support obiano until i saw d projects ebonyi state government churn out

Chri08102702694:
Cj, abeg no vex, although if you vex i go vex too. Please when shall you show this kind of zeal and commitment to your own Delta state? A state that receives so much from the center and has very little to show.

Please compare Akwaibom and Delta States. This is what should be bothering you and not always more interested in other states than yours. Or do you wish your state continues in this negative trajectory?

OMANBALA1:



To be honest,Obiano has not been able to deliver on half of the things he promised. The roads are narrow, the transportation system is a big failure and his road works are mostly substandard. He doesn't have the magic wand, just another loudmouth politician.

Like you rightly pointed out most of the roads in Onicha, Nnewi and Awka should be just one way thats how you design roads in a populated town with minimal land mass. Obiano should know this, he has lived in United States and been to Downtown Houston and saw the way roads were designed to decongest the roads.

Cjrane2:


I show the zeal because i lived a better part of my life in the SE.To the extent that even when i say I'm from Delta people don't believe me because my Igbo accent isn't Delta. Not to mention my wife is from Ozubulu.

I must first of all commend ANSMEDIA for also doing a fabulous job in this thread.It is not easy to take pictures just to come post for folks here. But my concern with ANSMEDIA is how he snaps at folks trying to uplift the thread. If they are posting old pictures, he could still say so politely and post a more recent picture since he lives in Awka. But he will simply snap, then go home and rest expecting us to just believe he is right because he said so.

TabletMan:
You and Anambradota are nothing but hypocrites. When pita Obi was constructing the poor substandard roads all over onitsha, both of you are busy hailing him as the great one and attacking his critics calling them enemies of Anambra .Now you want obiano to start reconstructing and dualizing all the substandard roads left by pita.
Pita Obi only solid road in onitsha is indus harbour road that was constructed by Nigercat company. The rest of his roads now have many degrees of potholes, the road connecting bida and creek road that was constructed by pita collapse just after one week.

Obi1kenobi:


Loool.... I was born in Enugu before my family moved to Lagos, and long before I was born, Enugu was already the "choice place for real estate" in Igboland. It's a legacy of its former status as the seat of power of the Eastern region and has retained its cosmopolitan profile since then. It has nothing to do with Nnamani.

globemoney:

Nnamani invested in real estate, many estates in Enugu sprang up during his tenure including ebeano estates, chime did his bit too... Despite his shortcomings mbadinuju I think is the only Anambra governor that did something on real estate.

Chri08102702694:
Mbadinuju? Hahaha

Nwanne ikara aka oo.
