NNEWI URBAN : An industrial urban to a sports hub, a story of Ifeanyi Ubah's sagacity

Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah International Stadium, FC Ifeanyi Ubah continues to play host and guest to the World.

Anambra State and Nigeria cannot afford to hastily get used to this phenomenal development in her sporting world.

When the Chairman, Capital Oil & Gas, Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah concieved the idea to build the best privately-owned football stadium in Africa, it seemed like an unattainable feat, but finally, it has become a reality as Nnewi, Anambra State has begun to play host to other Nigerian football formations, in the different local leagues and  Africa, in the various seasons' CAF Confederation Cup competitions and friendly outings.

The Anambra warriors has become a force to reckon with in the comity of football teams in Africa and the world at large. This is  about the magic wand of the human-capital developer of Anambra state - Dr Ifeanyi Ubah.

It is all about what one sees. The power of vision anchored on human advancement. Give it to Dr Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah.

What started as a mere dream has been actualized. What once existed in the mind has been translated from its theoretical state to a structure that would impact positively to humanity. Through the unwavering determination of one man,  what could once be referred to as a "playground" has been transformed into a world class stadium in less than 12 months. Anambrarians can only be very proud and thankful to God for the mileage attained in this sector  that has the capacity of attracting chains of employment to the teeming Anambra State youths which has the capacity of calming restiveness, vices and crimes.

Just like the popular saying "all works and no play, makes Jack a dull boy", Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah has been able to bridge the monotonous lifestyle that was typical of the Nnewi/Onitsha business owner/entrepreneur. It used to be about buy, sell and retire home. But now, it has actually taken the twist of buy, sell, then possibly go to the FC Ifeanyi Ubah's Nnewi games village to relax and see few live/televised football matches before going home ultimately.

Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah has therefore done well in elongating the lifespan of Ndị Anambra and creating jobs in same vein. Nnewi can now boast of sports entrepreneurship, as well as commerce/industry.

Today, FC Ifeanyi Ubah and Ifeanyi Ubah stadium is strategically positioned and poised to take on Africa. In just under two years, he has been able to reach enviable heights, winning two trophies in not many years of  existence, is an unprecedented feat.

#OzubuluMassacre, Bishop Reacts: Defamation and false allegations

Defamation and false allegations My attention has been drawn to a social media campaign where it is alleged that I am  connected to the Ozubulu church killing over a drug problem. For the avoidance of any doubt I wish to inform the general public that I know nothing about the church killings and i have never been involved in drugs. I have never been arrested or convicted anywhere in the world. My businesses are legitimate buinesses, duly registered. Apart from warehousing and wholesale of goods I am also a contractor involved in the construction of roads and  infrastructure in Nigeria. It's shameful that Nigerians and the media don't verify any story before running with them. The handwork of those who are jealous of my success and who are determined to tarnish my image is  evident. The Church killings is an unprecedented evil that deserves full investigation to unmask the perpetrators. We await investigations and full police report of the church attack. In the mea...

ILLEGAL DETENTION: CAPITAL OIL WORKERS CALL ON FG TO RESOLVE IMPASSE AS DSS FAILS TO PROVIDE DR. UBAH AGAIN

Nigeria's secret Police, the Department of State Services on Thursday, again failed to produce the Chairman, Capital Oil and Gas, Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah, before Justice Muhammed Idris of the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos. This is in flagrant disregard of the May 12, 2017, court order given to the DSS by Justice Idris, to produce Ubah in court today. However, this came as no fewer than 500 supporters from across different ethnic groups stormed the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, today, to rally around and show support for the oil mogul. This is even as anger and moral indignation has continued to swell further over the continued detention of the Nnewi-born Billionaire Businessman, by the DSS Leading the pack of those who have condemned the DSS continued detention of Ubah are Pan-Igbo group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo; Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC); the National Association of South East Nigeria Students (NASENS), HURIWA, Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State and  affected workers of Capita...
