FACT : Imo State did not build no Shopping plaza . The Mall was built by Ohakim's friends using Imo State contract money he siphoned to them . My reliable sources say , Ohakim's name could be found as one of the owners ... It is this pattern of Me and Me alone that has his critics now fuming . Assuming Ohakim wins re-election ( God forbid ) , by the time he's done in the next four years , he'll be perhaps the richest Imo citizen alive , with properties and investments spanning across Nigeria and beyond . And he'll leave Imo State in a very sorry state . But bad fate is not far off . He may end up being Ibori-tized ( to use Ikey Ndibe's word ) . Sources inside EFCC are revealing that a case will be made against him . Infact , according to these sources , Ohakim's name was on the list of early rejects by INEC bared to contest this coming election , but Maurice Iwu intervened and protested to his friend , Chairman Jega , convincing him to allow ( Ohakim ) his man to seek another term . Maurice Iwu considers it an insult if INEC under Jega continues to undo most of what he put in place . And till this day , Mr. Iwu still believe he did a good job at INEC , including putting Ohakim as governor of Imo State . This was evident when I asked him in August if he could have done things differently . " No " , he defiantly shot back at me . " I did all I could to give Nigerians a credible election " he said . " But critics who hated my guts opposed all the good things we did " . Well , the verdict from Nigeria is different . Publisher/Editor-In-Chief : African Globe Newspapers . New York , New York .

Dr. HEN,
Hen doesn't think before he writes. he writes from his already biased mindset about the governor. I think we should begin to ignore this same man who was impeached by his staff he used to create his organization. Today, the organization is working perfectly with a new leadership while he's busy criticizing his organization. I hear he is about to create another one. This time around, he will be expelled. Pls, wake up HEN!

"... building a shopping mall when there is no manufacturing anything going on."....HEN How are you sure of the above statement by your humble self? Are you very sure that there is No Manufactruing activities in Imo State for this new ultra modern mall? Okay, what about the Ceramic industry, Black smith industry, and all the other various Food processing industries, etc? Why do think that the Imo state government will take up such a huge project and investment without any Thinking and Planning for its ultimate use? How can a 2.5 billion Naira Mall be built without any consideration of the wares that will be sold in it? Please, Prof. HEN let us be more realistic and do better investigations than this, before you Criticize this government. Otoiheoma Egbe.

Our Owerri Buffalo Soldier, Ohakim with another Hot Air? This Imo Hyper Active proposal dropping governor is at it again. From Multi Intercontinetal Lane to Shopping Mall. Well this one did not require planning aabi? All his factories do is stay in constant state of chunking out hallow expectations that never get realized. Each month he has this fat kokobility project - from Ring road, to Multilane intercontinental hyperflying international highway to no oney for flyover project and now he has money for Aladimma shopping what? He is building a shopping mall when there is no manufacturing anything going on. I was at the Owerri New Market. When I was told we are there, I could not see how they can say NEW in it. It looked like what you see in Sabongida Vom village in the 60s - now road, flooded tracks, congested stalls. Everybody sqeezed in like sardine and if you happen to the inside, you can not locate anything and no real address or means of going to find anything. You will asked which engineer worked on this project? I aslo went to see the NEW Mechanic village. Good thing they called it village because all they did was dump rundown broken trailers and no plan no structure nothing. The occupans just claim whatever they could and nobody cares to make it a viable business facility. Yet the say there are no money when they refuse to make money with things right there in their face. This so called Aladimma Shopping mall, may be just public funds diverted to private use and the Gov. is trying to claim it as part of his venture. He said he dreamed about it in 1992. So how come he never made it his fist interest 3 years ago when leadership was thrust on him by default? Reading the release below you will sense that he is just claiming crerdit beause never has there been any former incling that he was doing any such venture and there has not bee any budget for such thing from his office. So how can he just emerge for credit? The man is behaving like a drawning man who is just looking for something underwater to cling to. I think he has been paying ransoms for the office but did not know that soon politics may change and there will be other people interested in that office and may contest it by asking him to list his accomplishments. So anything going on in Imo, he will take his bullala whipping team to go claim credit. Ohakim does not know that Imo has 27 independent local governments that he must accout to after taking hostage their allocations. He has to list each LGA and tell Nigeria what he has done in that place with the money they received that he claimed. Our problem with us Igbo is we do not care to question people when we know they have stollen from us. There was a time in Obowu Union when the national executive spent money they could have used to fund an obowu university student as scholarship, they decided that they will buy stuff to thank Udenwa for saying he has recruited an Isreali firm to rehabilitate Ndudu farm in Avutu. I laughed and asked if they thank him just for saying what he will do, what will they do when he does it? They said Eto Nwata na Nke Omerre omeee ozo. Well, Udenwa has ruled and gone, Ndudu did not get anything from any Isreali firm and nothing has happened there since Mbakwe. We think praising these thieves will buy them conscience but it never would be. Ohakim has announce that his dream has come true, But failed to tell us where and when? Where is this aladmma mall and who made the products the mall is selling? How can his dream come true when there is still nothing. I called Nigeria and nobody has heard of the so called Aladmma mall. This is just for internet consumption and a way to maybe siphon money out for elections. Did his dream not come true when they dropped that broken tractor into Nworie in the name of dredging? I have done some project with carterpillar that makes these tractoers. The one I saw inside Nworie is the kind they use in thevillages during Xmas to clear dirt on the village roads so it does not create mud in rain. There is noway anyone can use that for dredging. A dredger is built for dredging and it is not designed to scoop but to dig-scrap and then expell to the rear. What they had pushes dirt to the front and that is like trying to drink water through your eyes. What they tried to do was like trying to use shovel to dig the Panama cannal. A dredger can be seen when you look at the documentry video Engineering Marvels. At this point there is not even one of that machine in Owerri. What we are seeing is that this government is trying to get away by name dropping. They think the bigger the words in the so called projects they more real it could be assumed. But we know 419 when we see it. They have never completed any projects they started. They will drop a name get the money then start looking for more names to drop. We hear commissions but nobody asked how they could have commission what has not yet been built. If they have been building these things who worked on them and how come no jobs came from them? You see we have to ask questions because our people have suffered enough. So how many people did the commissioned Mall employ and who was their paymaster? Was it a private project or government funded. If government owned what board runs it and which bank do they deposit their earning in? We also need addresses and phone contacts for verification in 3 days. And we will ask Ohakim to stop droping names until we see one thing he has completed in the 3 years he has been controlling the billions being allocated monthly to Imo State. With the money each LGA gets there should be an internal standard mall in every LGA in one year. Government job is to use localization to create employment in the LGA sectors. Watch his list, he would claim he build Concord Hotel, the National Assembly, Onistaha bridge, Golden Guinea brewery and the Murtala Airport. What is shocking is how the buffoon legislatures will be invited to clapp for him knowing in their hearts that it is just hot air. I am still waiting for that address and phone numbers. Some how recently his praise singers have abandoned ship - maybe the billion dollar he promised them is still in the mail via antartica and is now arriving Mosco and they will receive it the obasanjo road from Enugu to Owerri is completed in 2070.

Ohakim commissions N2.5bn Aladinma shopping mall  News  Tuesday, November 9, 2010
OWERRI-The N2.5 billion Aladinma Shopping Mall Complex, initiated and completed through public/private partnership, PPP, arrangement, has been commissioned by Governor Ikedi Ohakim. Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, Governor Ohakim said he was elated that his 1992 dream as Commissioner for Commerce, Industry and Tourism had been realized as governor of the state. "As a commissioner, I came up with a 10-point project in 1992, which would have revolutionized the state and possibly the South East geo-political zone. This shopping plaza complex was one of them," Ohakim said. Noting that "a people who do not plan for tomorrow have already planned to fail", the governor also explained that there would be about five shopping complexes in Owerri municipality. He recalled with grief that although three ring roads were originally planned for the state, no previous administration thought it wise to impliment the plan, adding that apart from commencing the road projects, the construction of fly-over bridges to compliment the ring roads had started. The governor lamented that Ndigbo took delight in developing other lands instead of theirs, pointing out that there was no single private establishment in Imo State that was owned by either a Yoruba or Hausa man. Earlier in his address, the Executive Chairman of Bauhaus International Limited, Dr. Victor C. Onukwugha, said his company intended to invest a minimum of N5 billion in Owerri in the next two years. "We call on all serious investors, most especially those from Imo State, to heed the clarion call of Governor Ohakim, by coming to Imo to invest in the real sector of the economy", Onukwugha pleaded. |
