This is the first time I watched any team on GWG without much feelings.

I guess it's thanks to Tbaba1234's camp updates.

We don't have a Goalie, any ball that passes our defence seems to find its way to the net.

We have a tall striker, who's neither good in the air or ground.

Aigbogun's team is terrible.

GidiWoodsMan:
The deputy governor is meant to be seen and not heard. It's not an executive position per se (except the boss delegates)

This Hamzat has a strong, ambitious personality and it's either he rides Sanwoolu or they clash constantly. Obviously Tinubu wasn't too sure he would be able to control Hamzat as governor, that's why he chose a laid-back Sanwoolu instead.

Tinubu needed a Christian to complete Ambode's (a Christian) 2 term, smart move by Tinubu. He doesn't want a case where Lagos churches will be shouting marginalisation.

I heard that it was top APC stakeholders that insisted on Hamza a loyal party man. I heard he's a very strong personality and also his Father was also a top politician.

This is sad but funny at the same time.

Ofobohr and Makanjuola are the stand out players.

Ah!!!! Tijani just lost his penalty..... Another carpenter.

NEPA pole is better than Oremade, how could he haveissed that cross. He wasn't under any pressure

Enugu Govt. approves multi-campus structure for ESUT

The Enugu State Government (ENSG) has approved a multi-campus structure for Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT).

A statement on Friday in Enugu by the Commissioner for Information, Mr Ogbuagu Anikwe, said the approval was in line with the visions of the founders of the institution.

Anikwe said that the institution which was hitherto situated in the state capital was originally meant to have specialist learning centres in each of the three senatorial zones.

The commissioner said Faculties of Science, Engineering and Technology at Agbani were in Enugu East Zone, while Education and Medical Sciences, Social Sciences and Agriculture would be relocated to Enugu West and Enugu North Zones.

“The Enugu State Executive Council has voted to return ESUT to its original multi-campus structure as established by the Chief Jim Nwobodo administration in 1980.

“Accordingly, three schools originally proposed for Enugu North Senatorial Zone – faculties of Medical Sciences, Agriculture, and Social Sciences – will be returned to the zone.

“The Faculty of Education will relocate to Enugu West and to be domiciled at the proposed University of Education, Ihe in Awgu Local Government Area,” he said.

He said that the Faculty of Medical Sciences would take advantage of the 400-bed specialist hospital currently under constructed at Igboano in Enugu North Zone.

He aid that the hospital when completed would serve as teaching facility for medical students.Council noted that relocating the school of medical sciences will decongest and take the pressure off the Enugu Park Lane Hospital which has been struggling for expansion since its conversion to a teaching hospital.

“N1.5billion was approved in the 2019 State Budget for construction of key facilities at Igboano Specialist Hospital/ESUT Teaching Hospital, including construction of access road and others.

“The government, however, voted to increase the budget to N2billion, following the decision on multi-campus structure for ESUT and additional facilities.

“These specialist centres will not only bring tertiary education closer to the grassroots but will facilitate rapid socio-economic development of all zones in Enugu State,” Anikwe said.

I said it in another thread and I'm saying it here too, this is a stupid ass move by Ugwuanyi. Why not relocate all the facilities to Agbani

I know the excuse will be to use ESUT to spread development to all the senatorial zones but the argument to me is flawed. I believe if we think, we can find other ways to spread development. Resources is too scarce now for this jamboree. Nigeria is broke.

There are still much to do in Enugu state. Most parts of Enugu and Naukka urban still buy water, it's not a crime if Gburugburu becomes the first Governor in Nigeria to make sure that every street have pipe borne water at least once a week. I believe it's doable if we put our minds to it.

House rent in Enugu are quite expensive, do something about it. Even if it means flooding Enugu with Loma Linda type of low cost houses, the government should/can do it. Or see if there could be a PPP arrangement for low cost housing.

Look at our public school system, a sham with unqualified/unmotivated teachers. Our state government can fix it even if it means passing a law for a special salary structure for the teachers to attract top talent and also retraining. Education just like health can also attract the aid of international aid agencies.

A friend of mine heard Ugo Agballa talk about installing WiFi infrastructures in designated areas in the state during his 2007 guber campaign. I believe it's still possible, Ugwuanyi can roll out an IT plan for the state. He can make Enugu state the go to place for all the IT services for the SE/SS. With a good IT plan, he can attract top IT talents who are tired of staying in Lagos because of the traffic problems here.

Infact make I end here.

I apologise for my rant biko

Triniti:
Ugwuanyi is a lazy governor, after Sullivan toiled and moved all the faculties in campus 3 and msp to agbani. This toad of man wants to spread them back to other areas again, what’s the point of having a well built permanent site which sit on hundreds of acres of land? Politicians go just carry dey waste money anyhow. Instead to use that money maintain and upgrade already existing infrastructure, they go about duplicating the same thing their predecessors built and finished off during their regime.

Exactly!!!!

Billions of Naira would have been saved if everything goes to Agbani as planned.

In 21st century, our leaders still believe that tertiary institutions are the only way to spread development.

Indeed this decision has shown that the governor is Lazy.

Stupidity of the highest order!!!

There's more than enough land in Agbani for Esut expansion.

It's unfortunate that Ugwuanyi is not a wise man.

tbaba1234:


Some were considered too young..

Biko how young is too young

Well i guess Aigbogun wants to win at all cost. However, you don't win at all cost with the kind of players I saw represent us at the AYC.

Tbaba thank you for the updates. Daalu rinne

Ofuzo:



You guys should embrace the right way of doing things instead of doing them the same way since the end of colonization. Stop building houses with block and cement. Build brick houses whose outer exterior does not need to be painted for at least 200 years. European and American civilizations have never built block and cement houses since 3000 years. That's why some of the stuff that Greek civilization, ancient Rome civilization built is still standing. The Notre Dame cathedral that just went up in flames was built 1000 years ago and have stayed the way it was built without one drop of paint. All the federal structures built by Americans since 200 years ago are still standing without one drop of paint, because they were built with materials that don't need exterior paint ie bricks, granite and marble.

At least, from my observations, more than 95% of buildings I've seen in the US was not built with cinder block and cement.

Please, stop the mediocrity!!

Stop building gutters. Gutter is not a drainage system, because the waters in nigerian gutters do not drain. A drainage system is a system of pipes that empties the rain water it collects at designated points.

Please, you people should use your INTELLIGENCE. All the stuff being built in igboland is RUBBISH.

I guess it's because bricks are more expensive.

Update on the Enugu Specialist hospital Orba

The first phase of the 200 bedded Specialist Hospital located in a wide Acre of land owned by ovoko, Iheaka, Imilike and Orba is 90% complete. The asphalt pathways in the facility has been awarded and contractor set to mobilize to site.
The specialist hospital facility is a four phased construction.
The second phase which will include Doctors Quarters, medical Student Hostels etc is set to commence once the remnant 10% of the first phase is completed.


Apologies for the low picture qualities

Good news.

However, I thought that Bishp Shanaham hospital is a state owned hospital and it would've been cheaper if the hospital is upgraded. Except if there's no space for expansion.

Please we need more pictures of infrastructural development in the state or is Gburugburu on break

Train waiting to evacuate cement at Nkalagu cement factory.

Anyone know if train tracks still extend up to Nkalagu today? I know for sure there's no train service, so there's no point asking!

What's the latest with Nkalagu cement and Ibeto?

Or rather why hasn't Ibeto started producing cement in Nkalagu?

hisexcellency34:
From the look of things, Atiku will contest the 2023 presidential election. All these people shouting that northerners must contest in 2023 are only fronting for him

Atiku's age will be used against him in 2023.

Everybody is looking towards Kwankwaso and Tambuwal.

WisdomFlakes:


He was a prominent founding member of Action Group which was the leading/ruling party in the Western Region and he was Awolowo's bossom friend, before his untimely death. His death led the Action Group to dethrone the Alaafin, sending him on exile.

I read that Awolowo was so angry that he not only dethrone Alafin, he raised the Ooni relevance ahead of the Alafin.

This is a good addition to our armoury. However the problem is that such additions are normally so few.

GEJ bought Chinese MRAPs but they were few too and also I read somewhere this admin had received over 20 MRAPs from US in 2016. I'm not sure all these are enough to prosecute this war.

Let's not forget we have a lack of maintenance culture in Nigeria.

But NAFDAC is still very corrupt. To register your product, you'll need the help of NAFDAC consultants to FasTrack the process i.e bribe NAFDAC officials.

Importers still bring in goods without NAFDAC numbers by bribing nafdac officials.

Madam should first remove the forest in her eyes before talking about removing a log in another person's eye.

Nigerians will be patronizing fake doctors and nurses by 2030 if Buhari doesn't declare a state of emergency on our health sector to address the brain drain bedeviling that sector.

Tweak that NHIS act and use technology to reduce corruption to it's bearest minimum. Increase the salary and allowances of our medical personnel, etc

komekn:


I am befuddled why there is even discussion of Solanke in the first place.

I will admit I have met him and l find no IOTA of affinity for anything Nigerian.

He is a player with huge amounts of potential that's yet to be seen, after one season of continuous consistent first team football. We may then understand why Bournemouth payed £20 million for him, l still think it's a big gamble.

But him playing for Nigeria l just really can not see it happening.

There is a better chance of Tega Abrahams switching allegiance in my opinion.

Please how is Tega's performance this season?

I'm not just asking the number of goals he's scored this season but also his overall play.

tbaba1234:


Lokosa, that is struggling for game time in Tunisia. This is why i always say we should let players prove themselves elsewhere first.

Exactly!!!

Rohr's greatest skills is not his tactics but his man management

I saw Balogun putting in flying tackles yesterday and I wondered when last Super Eagles played with such passion and commitment

That's when I see people advocating for Rohr's sack I just hiss and pass

I was on Traffic listening to Lagos talks 91.3 sports program around 8am and the sports analyst said that Balogun was match rusty . The Balogun I saw yesterday was so good.

They're also not fans of Rohr for dropping Lokosa and picking Simi for the World cup. Infact they're angry that Rohr doesn't have faith in our home based players.

It'll be easier for a Carmel to pass their the eye of a needle than for Igbos to get Biafra with a favourable trade agreement with a Nigeria that'll be antagonistic to us. Let's not forget,we don't have access to the sea.

In the forseeable future, Nigeria will be restructured to work. Decades of bad economic policies, Buhari's addiction to debts and security challenges will force the leaders to restructure. We're already on our way to Greece and Venezuela type of economic problem, our creditors China, IMF, EU (because of illegal immigration), etc will step in and dictate how we'll run our economy and the economy can't be run successfully without restructuring.

But before then, we must put pressure on our governors to fix not just infrastructures, but our educational system. Few months back a top tech start up owner twitted about wanting to relocate to Enugu because Lagos is becoming uninhabitable, now what infrastructures are in place in Enugu to attract more techies? Enugu government can look for a way to attract telecoms company/ies that will lay fibre optic cables for fast and reliable internet, tax/duty incentives, clean environment with trees, lawns and flowers, etc.

I wish someone or people can open a radio station like Radio Biafra where OAPs will highlight/proofer solutions to the problems of Igboland, criticise governors who perform poorly, phone in programs. Let it be a pro restructuring and Igbos think of home kind of Radio station.

Earthquake2:
1) We need more goalkeeping options:Uzoho is not good enough

2) Mikel needs to get back to the team :Rohr should settle whatever rift he has with Mikel because when Iwobi is not at his best the team lacks creativity

3) We desperately need a set piece taker: Apart from Etebo nobody is decent enough on setpieces and being a tall team that was what we should be capitalizing on

4) The search for a good striker continues : Onuachu has flattered to deceive on his debut, that means Nigeria still seeks a replacement or competition for Ighalo, I advice Rohr to look to Mfom Udoh who has been banging goals in the NPFL for seasons now

5) NFF should listen to Rohr about stadium choices :The match played in Asaba hindered the players instead of bringing out the creativity in them and being so close to Afcon the Super Eagles need to be playing on a good pitch to bring them to rhythm

6) Onyekuru is a star player : despite mesmerizing the opponents in the Seychelles match, Onyekuru recorded two headers one resulting to a goal, more than any other Nigerian player and for the smallest player on the pitch that is quite an achievement

7) The Nigerian crowd need to wake up :Apart from the Supporters club the rest of the stadium was silent and spectating instead of supporting, In the U-23 match against Libya the Nigerian team needs the crowd behind them

I disagree with you on point 4 about Onuachu. Our midfield didn't create any chance for him to shine and our wingers/wing backs didn't cross the ball for him to make good use of his height.

We need his height in the super eagles, he can be our Peter Crouch or Fellaini.

So this is how this beautiful thread died?

If true, then they may be closed by the incoming govt. I really wanted to partner with gokada

They just want to kill ateke Tom yesterday, when the Nigerian Army did this to the ex militant leader, their next level will be blowing of petroleum pipes. Buhari economy will go down the drain again. Niger delta militants will retaliate back.

Exactly!!!

Remember that was how he started in 2015 which gave birth to Avengers. Before you know what's happening, they started blowing pipelines.

Haba!!

Dangote in one of his interviews said that the money given to him by his family could buy 10 brand new cars then, in 1979.

In 1979 naira had more value than pounds sterling.

Mariangeles:
Invest that money in a viable business, you can travel later .

Could you imagine what you can do with such amount of money ??
Transportation business ( goods or people..goods transportation is especially very profitable )
Food business
Laundry business
Importation business ...

What if he's never done any business before?

Chrisifeanyi please leave and never look back. God bless you

Levant:
When Buhari was campaigning for 2015, did he not go to America for support? Didnt Obama record a message to Nigerians? Didn't John Kerry visit Buhari and Tinubu in Nigeria? When you start something, don't blame others for continuing on that path. If not for the threat of foreign military intervention, African leaders will not vacate the presidential seat after losing election. The Gbagbo precedence continues to haunt African leaders. And the chance that any African leader who's believed by foreign observers to have lost an election and insist on rigging or manipulating the election will be removed by the use of force is very high. If African leaders did not want this to happen to them, they shouldn't have allowed France and the US start it in the ivory coast.

Buhari knows his chances of reelection are very slim. So now he is complaining of the lion he rode to aso rock.

They even hired Obama's campaign manager, David Axlerod as Apc's campaign consultant for the 2015 elections.

There are rumours that Buhari will postpone the election.

He's scheduled to address the nation by 7pm this evening

Enugu is Beautiful and Peaceful And it's a clean town. There are beautiful lounges, hotels and bars. Gosh... I missed this town.

Surprisingly and unfortunately, I found out that Gburugburu isn't campaigning for Atiku. Rumour has it that he has ordered all LG chairmen not to campaign for or against Atiku.

Davematics.
