Awka millennium city is the only place in igboland that has covered drainages and walkways . I doesn’t matter how you feel about it

Nigercity:

Imo, Abia, Enugu infact almost all states in SE have areas with covered drainages
Stop painting igbo land with mediocrity

Why is your cursed backward useless worthless ebonyi that’s full of illiterates and miscreants doesn’t need a free trade zone ?

Ebubu:
I wonder
why SE has no free trade zone
States like Aba in Abia state, Anambra need free trade zones.

What are their governors doing to lobby the minister for trade who is an Igbo man ?

Miserable frustrated envious fellow, show us your cursed backward imo state. You are talking about Lagos that was the former FCT. You are pained by the pictures coming out of Awka millennium city that’s why you are here running around trying to find fault in a faultless project in which most imo indigenes already invested in it because your state failed to develop to be like Anambra. Anuofia

sonature1:


Nobody dey envy anyone; I don't have that time. Chino can continue with his madness; you can even him. Nobody cares; I don't live on Nairaland. What I wrote there is a fact; Lagos State pattern is by far much better.

Check how Wike builds in Rivers State too. Govt builds to meet the accommodation needs of the people... unless that project is wholly owned by private people. You people don't like to learn or take corrections. Everything na envy and jealousy to you.

Why would it be impressive to a chronic envious bitter frustrated imo man like you ? Your cursed useless imo state has nothing to show that’s why you rather show us Lagos than the glorified village that’s Owerri. No wonder most imo indigenes are trooping to Anambra to live . Shameless fellow.

sonature1:
Nothing impressive here. This is just a place for a few privileged people. Build blocks of multistorey buildings like Lagos State to meet the accommodation needs of the locals.

This will end up being like one of those estates that people acquire but nobody lives in them because those who can afford them live outside the country. This doesn't solve the accommodation problem of the people.

Attached: those are the kinds of houses the government builds in Lagos. That's what every state in the East should be building to provide accommodation for all and utilise scarce land.

Awka is the entertainment and hospitality capital of igboland

Niok:
Ok
Na unizik make awka dey lively small

There’s no where in igboland with covered drainages. Awka millennium city is the only place in igboland with covered drainages and walkways

ariesbull:
Anambra should stop this mediocrity of construction of roads with open drains

Stop embarrassing Enugu state here. Accepting a simple reality is enough starting for Enugu state to have overall development through government efforts. Some of the ways to see the effects of overall development is through poverty and literacy rankings of a state. Poverty ranking of Enugu state is among the highest in Nigeria and literacy ranking of Enugu is among the lowest in Nigeria.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Ituku-Ozalla to Enugu is how many minutes?
Stop disgracing yourself.

Why can’t you people accept a reality and move on . Everyone knows that Enugu state is still timid and backward when it comes to overall development. That’s one of the many things Enugu state should endeavour to learn from Anambra state. You people should stop living in denial. Ordinary poverty ranking among a Nigerian states will prove how backward Enugu state is. See where Enugu state is ranked in the list. Enugu state has a lot of work to do

OkpaNsukkaisBae:

Same Agulu that they located unizik faculty of pharmacy, state government hotel.? Ozalla too has a commercial bank.pls mention the commercial banks in those towns i listed close to Awka?

You are mentioning communities surrounding Awka meanwhile communities surrounding Enugu like ugwuaji, awkunanaw, Nike, emene, etc, are in terrible conditions compare to the ones you mentioned . The guy made a very sincere post but instead of you aggressive wawa people to learn and improve on your state, rather you people are attacking him for stating the truth known by everyone. Can you in all honesty compare the backward rural areas in Enugu state that doesn’t have decent school, hospital, economic activities, etc, to progressive developed rural areas of Anambra? This post has really exposed you bigots that would have started ing this fact had it been it favoured your state.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:

Pls where are the commercial banks in Isuaniocha, Mgbakwu, Enugu-Agidi, Nibo, Mbaukwu, Ebenebe, Amansea, Ugbenu, Ugbene?

What’s there to tour about Enugu state when everyone knows that Enugu is still a very backward state with poverty level about national average

christejames:

He hasn't toured Enugu state before making that statement.

See how he is defending rubbish instead of facing reality . This shows how bigoted you clowns are but always trying to cover it up

christejames:

How many rural areas have you been to in Enugu State?

Congratulations

Anuofia what are you contributing here except coming to claim to be from Anambra but ediot like you will pretend that you didn’t see the comment I responded to

wizzyvibes:
Nothing wey the guy dey contribute for Anambra thread, na just to insult everybody.

You thought your post will go without getting a response. Atulu awusa. Na your useless fada be dog . Na only me fit una here

Workch:
Anambra dog don dey bark

Congratulations

You are right . Anambra is clearly the most developed state in igboland. Other Igbo states should learn to invest more in their states just like Anambra people

SGANIVA:
If all igbo people will start investing in there homes and helping there brothers like Anambra people, igboland will be like hong Kong

This is what I am talking about you ediots always get angry when Anambra is qualified in certain ? Why not go to your state thread and say whatever you want about your backward useless cursed state. Why are you angry that he related Anambra to hongkong. ?

Workch:
is Anambra like Hong Kong?
How did you know that other igbo brothers in other states don't do it?

You are 50 and still in nairaland something you should have left for children to play with. Chino must be doing the right thing for you to be worried so much.

jamesibor:

I see you just ed in 2020. Checkout the handles nwabobo, Sunny_Bobo, sunnybobo3 etc. I did more tan chino here but at some point you have to come to realise that bigotry does not pay. Chino is about 45 and should have left this for children like you.

Update from Awka millennium city . Igbos have bought up the entire place and are now building according to specifications

Everything you wrote here are in order except for the hotel. Yes , Soludo is very much in order for the five star hotel that will dwarf every hotel in SE, but saying that some of the hotels in Awka are for hookups is a total lie. Awka has some of the best hotels in SE and most of them are branded hotels like BON, Best Western, Golden tulips, etc. If you are looking for hookup hotels look the way of Owerri because that’s where the business commercial sex hawking thrives without restraints. I totally agree that Anambra even needs more than one airport and it will thrive due to the economic standing of Anambra

OreMI22:


The one-size-fits-all copy-and-paste approach to everything is what makes some analyses faulty. You or someone with a similar name argued something similar that Anambra airport would not be viable since it was so close to Asaba. In fact suggested that since Abakaliki airport was more than 100KM from Enugu airport, it was a more viable airport. The problem with such an analysis is that you based them on just one line of thinking "distance between them" and not the even more important factor which is the population and economic activities in the area to even 3 airports. There is a very popular saying that has held for ages "If you build it, they will come!"

Agulu Lake Hotel was not a waste. If you like to provide free Keke to every location for the guests, it does not take away that it is located a little far away from any major city center. It is a resort and serves a certain niche for people to just go there and relax. That is why the effort should be around creating unique fun activities around the hotel such as boating, water parks, etc, to create its eco-system and drive tourism to the hotel and location. Not thinking about unsustainable ways to waste money hiring free buses or the guests to attend nightclubs in Awka and back to compensate for not being located in Awka.

Now all the hotels you see springing up in Asaba are largely due to Onitsha having so many economic activities but very very few hotels. Therefore, hotel investors rightly reasoned that building in Asaba would still put whoever needs to have a transaction in Onitsha within a reasonable distance. The hotels in Awka will not just grow the Awka economy, but will also tap into this good hotels deficit in Onitsha that is currently solely enjoyed by Asaba at the moment. Someone mentioned that Awka needs 3 five-star hotels and he is right! The truth is that there are many hotels in Awka but not so standard. They are mainly nosy nightclubs at night and are mainly used as brothels for hookup girls. I know this first-hand because is visit Awka regularly and stay in many hotels in the city. Apart from the BON hotel and about 2 or 3 more, we don't have any decent places to stay with a family in Awka. Many Awka hotels with big buildings are filthy, with roaches in the rooms, dirty-over used towels, and not even basic wifi! I am glad that Parktonian and Geo Gold are gradually improving their standards and even now offer basic services such as wifi for their guests. If you have never been to other cities even within Nigeria such as even Owerri hotels, you will not understand this deficiency because most people in our locale view a hotel as some type of eatery or nightclub. Not a place for high-quality lodging to attract decent tourists to the city.

I am glad that Soludo has a mindset that is different from the typical local governors. Who only think about how to compete with the next local enterprise. Soludo seems fixated on the future and how to establish what will make Awka attractive to global tourists and not something that is just a little better than existing local hotels based on "Awka" standards. That is truly something I have not seen in many Nigerian governors who compete among themselves in mediocrity. I see Soludo's vision as the equivalence of the vision of Obasanjo in 1976 when he declared that Nigeria would build a brand new Federal Capital Territory in Abuja that would be a modern city comparable to similar capital cities in Europe and America. The good thing was that he meant it. Otherwise, all Abuja roads would have been designed like Lagos roads of single carriage roads at the time, and houses would be allowed so close to the roads just like in Lagos. Of course, Soludo does not have the funds to achieve all he says. But Like Rwandan President Paul Kagame who knew in 1995 that Rwanda didn't have the money to build a modern capital city in Kigali. But it could achieve greatness eventually if it begins ensuring that every new road has walkways and trees planted in the road median etc. Every major hotel built by the government was designed to attain the best global standards. Even when people criticized him at that time for aiming "too high". Today we have seen the new Kigali city emerge even though Rwanda had no oil or any tangible resources to fund its emergence quickly. But just ensuring that every new project was done in the best global standard would eventually get you there. I have written a long response. But it takes such long responses to make the very fine point that it takes a visionary leader with a modern mindset and not just the available resources as the most critical ingredient in developing a society into a world-class society. From America to Japan to China to Singapore to Malaysia to Rwanda to Dubai etc, it took just one visionary at a point in their history to decide that they had to leapfrog into a modern society regardless of their income at the time. They had the idea and gradually followed their plan until it happened. That is what I am hoping that Soludo will be for Anambra and Southeast Nigeria.

In summary, we have to think higher than our current environmental situation if we hope to become better and achieve a greater future that we will no longer be called "Third World" or something less than the best. We have to aim to be in the league of the best. We can do it. So let's those leaders who dare to dream big even when the resources seem not to be immediately available.
