It should be well noted, however, that this is not a condonement of the awkward federalism we currently operate and the numerous constraints that the current constitution imposes. Imagine what a Governor Mbah could have done with our Independence Constitution. But until the right constitutional framework is put in place, the onus remains of the federating units to find a way. While it is far from Uhuru for Enugu State, Mbah has demonstrated that economic reengineering of the states is possible. And it is the way to go.

A consummate entrepreneur and founder of Pinnacle Oil and Gas Limited, which is the market leader in Nigeria’s downstream petroleum industry, Mbah understands that investors do not joke with ease of doing business. They naturally gravitate to a de-risked investment environment because they are not Santa Claus. So, he set forth at dawn to do exactly that.

As the days go by, it is becoming clearer to even the naysayers that Enugu State heeded this advice and got it right in the last election. Mbah was very strong on the economy during the campaigns. In his 64-page manifesto, he stated in unmistakable terms that his vision was to grow the state’s economy from $4.4bn to $30bn, raise the state to one of the top three economies Nigeria by GDP, eradicate poverty, and make the state the premier destination for business, investment, tourism, and for living in four to eight years.

my understanding, Governor Mbah only re-echoed the thinking of Nigeria’s founding fathers when they settled for a federal constitution. Chief Obafemi Awolowo held that “the constitution of Nigeria must be federl and any other constitution will be unsuitable and will generate ever-recurring instability, which may eventually lead to the complete disappearance of the Nigeria composite State.

Hmmmmmm👇👇👇 You will see women like this, walking from phase 1 to Phase 2, tens or hundreds of kilometers, hawking groundnut, banana, fish, oranges, tomatoes, pepper 😭. Remember, they choose to earn legitimately. Olosho dey ooh, but dem no do. You then call them, and start to display your price negotiating skills. "Aunty, you no gree five yam for five hundred?" She looks up at you, anger in her soul but desperation in her eyes. "Bros, please help me buy it. Five tubers of yam, ₦500? It's ₦1800 Sir, please" Then, you asked her to either sell it ₦800 or she leaves with it. She left, thinking a lot in her head. She has to feed, nobody had bought yam from her in two days. Then, she came back to you. "Uncle, take it ₦1000". You still shook your head, mbah. "₦800 las las!!" She sold it. Her life depended on it. But the same YOU will walk into a supermarket to form Obi Cubana, and buy a loaf of bread labelled ₦3000 and even 'dash' the girls on the counter a ₦500 note! The same loaf of bread you will get at ₦1200 at joebest bakery shop. And you're asking God to bless you? Chief, between that lady who hawks under the sun, trying to sell goods not worth ₦5000 and the babe on the counter using iPhone X... who deserves your pity? Let heavens know your answer so God can choose who to pity too 🤷🤷. I come in peace ❤️ 😊😊😉😆😆And i just want to inform you that we are still available for your work😉😉😊😊
