Beautiful stone works on walls
Enugu and the abandoned coal industry
This is the Oneama coal mine found at Iva valley in Enugu, built by the British colonial masters. This location has a very high deposit of coal under the surface of the ground
We wish this country will be restructured to allow every state or region to control and exploit the resources that are found in their regions. This would have enabled the good people of Igboland to harness the natural deposits of coal in their domain to make great developmental strides in the region. This mineral deposit is capable of supplying enough energy to power the electrification of the whole region and even remain for exports.
Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi after one year
After a year in office, we should at least be seeing the direction of an elected government. In a country reputed to be mired in serious misrule, which translates to bad policies as seen from the living conditions of the masses, the people of Enugu state should start asking questions early. We are mindful of the plans to start construction of several listed projects from almost all the local government areas but this there are some areas that need a lot more attention than the others.
There has not been any government presence in towns like Nomeh unateze in Nkanu east local government area since the inception of the civilian administration 16 years ago, I hope the governor is aware of this.

Burglary proof built into aluminium window frames
This is a picture of a burglary proof contraption built into an aluminium window frame, this is slightly different from the normal window protector we are used to, the types built to be mounted on the wall of the house.
The only advantage I see with this type of burglary proof is the cheaper cost, as so many of the welded steel which forms the other type are omitted here, making this too simple and cheap.
But most people will argue that this method is risky, since there is only screws attaching the metal to the aluminium frame. This type of burglary proof is not well embedded into the wall to make removing it difficult. .
