"Voices from the streets of Onitsha"

 "Voices from the streets of Onitsha"

By Izuchukwu Adichie


Before now, Onitsha commercial center was once plagued by issues of government negligence, flood, and touting menace, which hindered its growth. However, the city has undergone a miraculous transformation within a short time of two years under Soludo's administration. Anyone who has been to the city in the past and returned recently can attest to this fact. His stellar performance has earned him the praise and loyalty of the residents, visitors, students, traders, and motorists in Onitsha. The infrastructure of the city has been overhauled, and every part of the city is undergoing a total transformation.


Soludo is the man, and you better not say anything negative about him or his government in and around Onitsha metropolitan because the people will not tolerate it. The transformation of Akpaka, Niger Street, PortHarcourt Road, and others including Ochanja Roundabout, which was previously a hub for traffic congestion, chaos, and a refused dump, into a modern and organized junction with improved traffic flow, landscaping, and a water fountain is one of the many examples of the


governor's determination to improving the city. His efforts have been so impactful that even the keke and shuttle operators, who used to be troubled by Agbero/touting, now enjoy a pleasurable commute, and tax reduction and taxation of petty traders are abolished.

Soludo has filled the vacuum of two decades by clearing canals and drainages, demolishing illegal structures, building a general hospital and ongoing water reticulation, and rebuilding roads, including the first-ever double lane in Upper Iweka. Soludo's good works are not mere propaganda, as anyone can see the transformation on the ground.

He has successfully recreated Onitsha and restored its glory. His achievements have earned him the respect of the people, and they look forward to seeing him in the government house until 2030.

 Lilian Orogbu: "A beauty pageant or a federal lawmaker?" By Izuchukwu Adichie Apart from the fact that Lilian Orogbo diverted N200 million federal government palliatives meant for the people of Awka North and South constituency, she has a trait of a "beauty pageant and ineffective lawmaking". So when the announcement was made that she won the election for a federal house, and I saw her photos, I asked myself if it wasn’t such a calamity for a beauty pageant to transition into politics and even to represent Awka. Such a calamity!! Compared with other female federal lawmakers from Anambra both in the past and present, Orogbo, the beauty - pageant lawmaker in her eight months has not been able to meet the legislative expectations of her constituent, has not attracted a single project or intervention, and has clearly shown she talk without some level of thought or cognition. However, how can a lawmaker who should partner with her state Governor in promoting law and ord
