you will definitely have another Supreme Court Governor in Anambra as the Auditor of community-Reporters news comr (onyeabor chisom) advised Anambrarians to save their lives and stay at home during the coming election since it is almost inevitable that another Supreme Court Governor will emerge in Anambra state judging by the past and present events.
Comrade onyeabor chisom was reacting to the suspension of the one week-sit-at-home by IPOB leadership and the U-turn the leadership of IPOB made by asking people to come and vote come November 6, 2021.
According to onyeabor chisom, who is the founder of ‘’community-Reporeters media news‘’- He said’’ their children are abroad right now enjoying while you will stupidly come out to vote knowing the security situation in the state.
We all know that Governor Willie Obiano will use every resource at his disposal to insure that APGA candidate – Charles Solution wins. Most of us knows that other candidates like -Valentine Ozigbo, Ifeanyi Ubah, Dr. Maduka, etc has bigger chances of willing in a free and fair election based on their reputations and qualifications. But what happened in Imo state will repeat itself in Anambra state.
Mark my word, Andy Ubah will come 3 or 4th and will still be the next governor of Anambra state. Then tell me why did you vote in the first place? Our people are becoming educated fools every day’’ – he angrily concluded.
Barely forty-eight hours to the November 6 governorship election in Anambra State, residents concerned about their security have started leaving the state.
The Independent National Electoral Commission ( INEC) had fixed November 6, 2021 for the Anambra gubernatorial election.
Concerned about security of lives during the election was raised by residents after the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) said it would declare sit-at-home in the South East on November 5 if its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, was not released before the date.
Kanu is still in the custody of the Department of State Services and there is no indication the Federal Government is willing to release him.
Justice Binta Nyako of the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court had ordered his remand in DSS custody following his arraignment in June, after he was brought back into the country.
The Federal Government, INEC and the Anambra State government have all said the election would hold as scheduled and assured of security, including a police deployment of about 35,000 personnel.
But these may not be enough to persuade many, especially non-indigenes in the state, to stay and vote.
THE WHISTLER gathered that many of the residents have started traveling out of the state before election day in order not to be caught in any possible violent backlash.
Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State has approved the appointment of Surveyor Dr. Augustine S. Didigwu as the Surveyor-General and Head of the state’s Survey Department.
The appointment was contained in a statement by the Commissioner for Information, Nnanyelugo Chidi Aroh. Aroh disclosed that Surveyor Didigwu, until his new appointment, was the Head of Department of Surveying and Geoinformatics, Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT), Agbani, since 2018.
The Information Commissioner added that the newly appointed Surveyor-General is also the Chairman of the Nigeria Institute of Surveyors, Enugu State branch, from 2017 till date.
Aroh recalled that the State Executive Council at its 9th Executive Council meeting held on Friday, July 17, 2020 approved the upgrading of the Survey Department to an Extra-Ministerial Department, stressing that Gov. Ugwuanyi “believes that Surveyor Didigwu, Bs.c, Ms.c, Ph.D, will bring his known professionalism to bear on his new assignment”.
IF APC is not the answer to our Problems, there is no reason going back to the instigators of the problem. I’m not a politician but I would do everything not to have PDP in Government in Nigeria. The greatest tragedy that can befall a nation is for her citizens to suffer collective amnesia. I believe PDP believes Nigerians have short memories, if not, Ibori would not have been included in their convention committee and Jonathan would not have been allowed to talk (He ended up indicting himself as usual anyway). For those who may have forgotten, kindly joggle your memories with the following words on marble and you will agree with me that what happened in Eagle square on saturday was nothing but gathering of rogues. Happy reading:

With all this looting and many more revealed, some people are still shouting no sign of change yet, they even say it’s political persecution.
There must be consequences for such crimes otherwise Nigeria will not develop.

Soldiers of the Nigeria Army on Monday invaded Isingwu, a hamlet in Imama Village, Mgbowo in Awgu Local Government Area of Enugu State and burnt houses with an undisclosed number of youths killed for yet to be identified reasons.
However, some accounts claimed the soldiers were in the community to arrest an alleged leader of the Eastern Security Network, the security arm of Indigenous People of Biafra, who hailed from the community.
A source told our correspondent that the suspect was said to be at large when the military personnel invaded around the community at about 5am and started shooting indiscriminately, burning houses including the family house of the said suspect.
“They torched his house and sprayed bullets in nearby compounds. In short, the soldiers who were chanting jihadist songs were burning properties in the community like they were at war with the community,” one of the sources told our correspondent.
Although an eyewitness, who pleaded not to be named, said there was no casualty during the attack, there are reports that undisclosed number of youths were killed during the invasion.
The source said, “The villagers were surprised at the invasion because there had not been any attack by ESN members in recent time. We have not had any issue with IPOB or its security wing ESN. In short, it is the ESN that stopped herdsmen kidnappings, killings and rape of women in the community and around Awgu council area. Where were the soldiers when the Fulani herdsmen were ruining the community before emergency of the ESN?”
He noted that before the Monday invasion the military had engaged in show of strength, parading the entire town everyday. This development, he said, made the people to live in fear.
However, Coalition of South East Youth Leaders has condemned the gruesome killings of innocent civilians and burning of their houses and properties by soldiers in the South-East describing it as “wicked, villainous and barbaric”.
The group in a statement titled, ‘The Nigeria Military’s murderous excesses in Awgu Local Government of Enugu State, an aberration to the rule of law,’ said the Nigerian military has no constitutional right to move into a civilian community and start shooting, killing and burning community houses, describing it as genocide and such act amount to ethnic cleansing.
The statement which was signed by the group’s President General and Publicity Secretary, Mr Goodluck Ibem and Comrade Okey Nworu respectively, said the burning of community houses or houses said to belong to a suspect or family can only mean one thing, that soldiers were Fulani terrorists executing jihad against Igbo.
The statement partly read, “The Military under the democratic setting is governed by constitutional norms. The Nigerian Constitution being the grand norm, absolutely prohibits the use of extra legal killings of citizens under section 33 (1).
“What on earth will make soldiers who are paid with taxpayers money to invade a civilian community killing anything on sight and burning down houses if not to conquer the territory.
“The plot to Fulanise and Islamise Nigeria is no longer a hinder agenda but an open one now. The Awgu genocide is a clear one for all to see.
The soldiers who came for the mission in Awgu were killing people and speaking Fulani and Hausa language. They were carefully handpicked by their sponsors for the wicked genocide mission.
We are very aware that the plot to annihilate Ndigbo for the Fulanis to take over Igboland is because the South East region are predominantly Christians. It is so sad that such genocide is happening in a supposed democratic administration were the rule of law, right to life and fundamental human rights are meant to be respected by the government.
Awgu is a peaceful and law-abiding community. The community has not been in the news for the wrong reasons. For the Nigerian military to move into a peaceful and and law-abiding community to kill innocent people while abusing those they are killing with Fulani and Hausa language means that there is more than meets the eye. Truly Igboland has been marked for take over by the Fulani using the Nigeria military but they will not succeed.
“We call on the South-East governors who are the Chief Security Officers of their various states to stand up on their feet and defend their states. If they keep quiet believing that they are secured because they have security around them, very soon the Fulani killers will get to them. The time to address and arrest the situation in the bud is now.”
The youth leaders however, called on the United Nations and the international community to immediately come to the aid of the people of South-East who have been marked for annihilation because they are Christians.
“We hereby demand for an independent panel of inquiry into the genocide committed by Nigerian soldiers in Isi-Ngwu community and the massive destruction of houses. The soldiers that carried out the burning and killings must be fished out and tried for committing war crime against the people.”
Meanwhile, efforts to get reaction of the Nigerian Army were unsuccessful as the spokesman of the military, Brig. Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu could not take his calls or respond to text message at of the time of filing this report.
Also, when contacted on telephone, the Acting Deputy Director Army Public Relations 82 Division, Major Abubakar Abdullahi, told our correspondent to give him some time, but after several hours, he sent a text saying “please get across to Director Army Public Relations”.
We all have different mindsets and approach to achieving our dreams. It is true that we are mostly in politics for personal interests. But some of us are actually for the interest of our people even while we are protecting our personal interests.
To so many politicians, being a smart politician is knowing when the game is leaving you and switching over tactically in order to remain relevant or gain some benefits.
But it is also true that many have never thought of the fact that certain people have died for their communities or zones. Recall that the main reason for the Agitation of a sovereign state of Biafra was due to injustice, lack of Equity caused by greed. Recently an average Igbo man in Nigeria was bitter that Buhari didn’t appoint an Igbo man a service Chief and that he had used many of his northern people in certain strategic positions instead of following Equity that will ensure Federal Character Principle.
Those who think that selfishness is always played out in politics should understand that majority of those against buhari are not even expecting any appointment from him but only wanted him to show Equity to all parts of Nigeria.
Hon. Ejike Okeke is one man who have signed to remain on the side of Justice and equity even when it means everybody being his enemy or places him in renegation politically. He have chosen to stand firm for the interest of his people and Equity for all irrespective of zone.
The actions of the Hon. Minister of foreign affairs who after Enugu West met and zoned the APC Enugu State Chairmanship to Greater Awgu, convened another meeting in absentia, where the same position was zoned to Udi people who have being comfortably settled by the Buhari administration more than any other zone in Enugu State. He displayed an attitude that is capable of spiking an agitation and crises in the party. One will wonder if the minister have been the cause of the crises in APC over the years. With the level of love and support that the majority of Enugu State APC members gave to him especially Prince Chikwado Chukwunta who offered to help reposition the party, he should have at least showed Equity by not even contemplating giving an Udi man a chance to even come out to contest for the State Chairmanship position of Enugu State APC in the first place.
There is no doubt that His Excellency Sullivan Chime and Her Excellency Chief Mrs. Juliet Ibekaku Nwagwu amongst other leaders in the party have allies from Udi who are even better candidates for that position. But they reasonsed that for the party to think of winning elections, there must be Equity.
The minister in making his choice didn’t consider all his trusted allies from Greater Awgu, to either give them such chance or at least have them give him someone from greater Awgu. To him, the best man for the Job must be an Udi man. I don’t care what I stand to lose by speaking against this show of unnecessary power through manipulating his helpless supporters against their own people, because he knows that a man who depends on him for everything, will even sale his own people to remain a friend to a minister of the federal republic of Nigeria.
The minister sees the men from greater Awgu as tools that will be use against their own people even in his absence and they delivered and called some of us who feels that we can not do politics with the mandate of our people political amateurs.
By exposure and look, the minister is a perfect gentleman, but his action of creating tension for another round of four to eight years in Enugu State APC makes one to wonder if he is indeed a gentleman or an oppressor?. It is not late for him to retrace his step and honourably return the mandate Given to His Excellency Group Captain Joseph Orji whom all candidates for the APC Chairmanship from Greater Awgu stepped down for, to become a consensus candidate.
I might be the only person talking, but he should understand that silent is more destructive than words. Majority of Enugu State APC members, even those who pretended to be supporting him are actually disappointed in him and wondered what he seeks to achieve by dividing the party this critical time.
Honorable Ejike okeke is the enugu state secretary APC grass root vanguard
Although most Politicians don’t do what they say in politics, genuine people closer to Sen. Ken Nnamani and Geoffrey Onyeama believe that both men are yet to come to terms on what could be the reason behind shifting grounds from a noble man like Group Captain Orji, in their Choice of who becomes the Enugu State APC Chairman. Recall that both men gave their assurance and even approached His Excellency Group Captain Orji to get prepared to reposition the party. To the major Stakeholders of the party, it is still a surprise on what could have prompted their sudden shift from the original plan to support a man who party members will feel at home and who is presentable Nationally and internationally.
Although Ken Nnamani was at the venue of the noise called congress, nobody can credit any statement to him, a man who is always fluent and bold to make statements in such gathering. He was just far away from the committee and could not talk until the drama was over. This is unlike Sen. Ken Nnamani who in the last meeting of APC came against hired noise makers by one of the Chairmanship candidates and assured them that the Enugu State APC won’t tolerate paid agents and their master who just came in to the deceive us.
The minister on his own was never seen in all the period the drama lasted. His PA was the one who manipulated the whole process on the pretence that he was doing the ministers bidding. Up till now these leaders have remained mute. An indication that they are possibly being manipulated somewhere. There is nobody in APC who can give any reason to justify why a man at the level of Group Captain Orji could be betrayed this critical time that APC Enugu State is in need of a father and mentor.
Sen. Ken Nnamani is known to always stand by his conviction, if he is comfortable with what happened, he would have convened a meeting or at least attended the appeal committee panel meeting as he did after the ward congress.
We pray that whatever that have held this leaders down will leave them very soon in Jesus name, amen. APC Enugu State must adopt equity and justice in order to ensure victory come 2023.
His Excellency Group Captain Orji was the first Governor of Gombe state. He initiated the 25 Years Gombe State Development plan that the State is still working with till date. He attained high level of his career in the Nigerian Air force and was in charge of many lucrative positions before he became military Administrator of Gombe State on creation. He was the brain behind the coming of Buhari to his Nenwe Town in the 1990S and have contributed immensely in developmental projects across Enugu State.
After his retirement, he was not tired, he went on to add more certificates to his already acquired certificates and is today a PhD Holder. His company is doing well and his investments in real Estate is yielding good returns. From the time he joined politics in 2002, he have never received funding from any individual for his campaigns up till date. By my evaluation, His Excellency Rtd. Group Captain Joseph Orji is rich man by any standard one may wish to evaluate him. No wonder he is contented and have never being indicted or called for questioning over any form of financial crimes.
In APC, he have supported the party from the time he joined the party till date. We in Aninri can proudly say that he remains the only man Aninri Local Government area can look up to if it needed some financial support for the ten wards that makes up the Local Government Area.
When the APC announced it plans to conduct congresses, a man from a village in Aninri jumped out and went round the state seeking the support of leaders to clinch the State Chairmanship position of Enugu State APC. Considered as one of the stakeholders in Aninri, that man approached me to support him, but I declined. He wasted no time in reporting me to a respected Stakeholder in Aninri Local Government area. In that meeting, I made the man to understand that this man from Mpu is better than me in deception and political blackmailing. And that when he will collect money and withdraw from the race, he won’t tell me. The Mpu man later appealed that I take him to one of APC major stakeholders in Nkanu, which after consultations I decided to do that in order not to appear as if I have something against him.
Consequent on the fact that myself and other stakeholders in Aninri knows that with him, we are doomed as he will definitely do business and abandon us. We organized a meeting of Aninri Stakeholders where we agreed to approach his Excellency Group Captain Joseph Orji, whom we believe is equal to the task to please save us by indicating interest to run for the position of State Chairman in the state congress, to that Aninri can give the state her first 11. The response of His Excellency Group Captain Orji, as we led a delegation to his house was this – “If you people are convinced that this thought are for the interest of the party and that you won’t betray me, I will accept the offer”. Right there, we assured His Excellency Joseph Orji that we won’t betray him. This movement was reported to some leaders who also believed that he is the right man for the Job, some of the leaders subsequently reached out to him to be prepared to lead the party. By the time of this movement, Ugo Agballah have not indicated interest to join the APC. We have concluded Party Membership Registration of which His Excellency Group Captain Orji supported all the wards in Aninri LGA financially for the APC Enugu State Revalidation and Registration Exercise.
Recall that the message from this Mpu man was that it is the right and turn of Greater Awgu to produce the Chairman and in greater Awgu, it is the turn of Aninri. This his song sounds very patriotic then, so we evaluated it and observed truly that if justice is considered, Aninri will be favoured once the position comes to Enugu west and then to greater Awgu. To the glory of God, this position came to Greater Awgu and to Aninri, and a consensus candidate emerged. One man who feels that the right way to show his love for his people is to ensure that everything Good gets to them irrespective of the implications of such decision today have put APC Enugu State in total war against itself.
It didn’t occur to me as a surprise when the Mpu man removed his Aninri Cloth and stepped down for An Udi man in a meeting convened by the PA to minister of Foreign Affairs, pretending to be acting on loyalty. He gave dead ears to the consensus emergence of Group captain that have the endorsement of the State Caretaker Chairman and a member of APC Board of Trustees as well as other Major Stakeholders from Enugu West Zone. Every other thing was the way they are up till today. No video evidence can suggest that the 27 man State executives as contained in the constitution of the APC was elected in the Enugu State APC congress of 16th October, 2021.
Although, many thinks the game is over, and some ignored the facts that injustice cannot guarantee a reliable peace. Some equally felt that Group Captain is the victim. As a good student of history, the emergence of Group captain is more beneficial to Enugu State youths than himself who is already a big man with assets that will sustain his financial needs. To other Aninri People, they believed that loyalty through betrayal of your own right and people can make outsiders to trust you. The bigger picture is that His Excellency is only fighting injustice not for any personal gain but to ensure that such is not repeated in the APC even if the party decided to support the injustice. He understands that allowing this robbery to stand will be a betrayal to the people who trusted in his capacity and approached him to contest the position.

Presidential spokesman Femi Adesina has said President Muhammadu Buhari’s threat, and subsequent implementation, of a divisive allocation of position and federal resources on the basis of 2015 election results was politically expedient.
“It is natural in politics,” Mr Adesina told Vanguard when asked about the controversial approach in an interview published on Sunday.
Mr Buhari faced criticism in July 2015 when he said he would be more attuned to favouring regions that gave him electoral victory during the March 28, 2015, presidential poll than those who voted for his opponent.
“The constituents, for example, that gave me 97 per cent [of the vote] cannot, in all honesty, be treated on some issues with constituencies that gave me five per cent,” Mr Buhari said at a town hall organised by the United States Institute of Peace in Washington on July 22. “I think these are a political reality.”
The statement immediately elicited fireworks across Nigeria and has continued to define the legacy of Mr Buhari’s presidency. He has since sidelined the Igbo-dominated South-East from national security, economy and other critical areas of democratic governance.
Mr Buhari did not apologise or walk back his comments more than six years on, and Mr Adesina’s response to Vanguard on the matter indicates the administration’s intention to dig its heels in.
“The highest place where Buhari got maybe about 20% was Abia due to Kalu’s influence, in Ebonyi because David Umahi even when he was in PDP had always loved the President,” Mr Adesina said. “He didn’t score more than 20% anywhere even when what he required was 25%. So the southeasterners will need to readdress their politics, play more national politics.”
“You first take care of the needs of those who gave you 95% before those who gave you 5%, it is natural,” he added.
Even though Mr Buhari’s cabinet appointees and federal projects concentration failed to reflect the ethnic and religious balance of Nigeria, Mr Adesina said the president should not be seen as a sectional leader.
Mr Adesina said the president stated that the Constitution handicapped him “from side-lining any part of the country,” and he won’t go against the Constitution.
“Mischievous people took only the earlier part of the statement and cut out the rest just because they wanted to generate controversy,” Mr Adesina said, arguing further that a list of federal appointees under Mr Buhari showed there were more people from Ogun and Imo than other states.
I want to learn how to pretend,but it’s in my nature to be real and factual.
You have no business in government if you’re afraid of criticism,except you’re ignorant of the meaning and definition of democracy.
It’s worthy to note that the purported propagandizing activities of nzuko Aninri has began to gather momentum which has never been expected than before.
Recall that the political crises in Aninri local government area of enugu state started from the emergence of honorable ezikiel chukwu as the chairman of Aninri against the wishes of the cabals,this has turned to be a toure on the flesh of many as ezikiel was never there inner caucus members.
Nzuko Aninri was formed to checkmate his activities in governance and administrative processes which they later deviated from there memorandum of understanding to become a fighting tool and a campaigning organization to be used in the 2023 guber election.
Speculators were triggered to know if there ministry is still moving or have they stopped giving them money to share ,but as plan has it the just concluded iriji Aninri is a revival of there hope as people has embraced the occasion due to stomach infrastructure.
It’s been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I’ve also learnt that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.
The political arrogance and betrayal in Aninri local government area of enugu state, has prolongs our administrative ignorance to self centered desires.
The political ideological movement “nzuko Aninri” has successfully masterminded there propagandas which includes among them, the just concluded iriji Aninri.
The activities performed in the festival is nothing to write home about as the founders and sponsors of the festival has a different political undertone motives which triggers the planning of the event .
First it was Ife – melemma rally enugu west which is the secondary aspect of the purported game plan and secondly it was the iriji Aninri festival.
Speculations has been to the gubernitorial race of 2023 enugu election.
Aninri politics has been revolving round a hub which one man is the pivot that pioneers and instigate others
Politically inclined benefactors has been used as the tools to execute propagandas so as to enable a soft landing for the juganute to ascend the throne.

Enugu west youth cares,your boy comrade onyeabor chisom cares
The Spiritual Director, Adoration Ministry Enugu Nigeria, Rev. Father Ejike Mbaka, has warned the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government over the handling of the situation of Nnamdi Kanu, pro- Biafra agitator.
Mbaka warned that Kanu must not die in custody because his death would lead to an explosion.
The clergyman advised Buhari to grant Kanu amnesty, so he does not die in custody.
He disclosed this while addressing his followers at the Adoration ground and was posted on the AdomiracTV on Friday.
According to Mbaka: “Nnamdi Kanu is a delicate material, the Federal Government should handle him with care. You may mistakenly swallow a kind of bone, but you have to be careful in bringing it out or taking it out; if you want to swallow it, it’s a problem, if you don’t want to swallow it ‘wahalla;’ that is Nnamdi Kanu for you.
“So, we have to be careful; I would rather plead with the governors who came for Bazar, including Ugwuanyi, Dave Umayi of Ebonyi State to come together without any delay and have a meeting on how to bring out this bone. Because other sensitive organs can be affected, and paralysis may be the effect.
Nnamdi Kanu: IPOB gives conditions to dialogue with Buhari govt
The United Nations had issued ‘Urgent Appeals” to both the Nigerian and Kenyan Governments respectively, demanding immediate stoppage of any torture or violation of rights committed against the detained leader of IPOB. UN also warned of serious consequences if the allegations of torture and violation of fundamental human rights against the IPOB leader were confirmed.
The UN intervention followed a petition to the UN by Kanu’s brother, Kanunta Kanu; and his counsel, Mr. Aloy Ejimakor.
UN’s “Urgent Appeals” to Nigeria and Kenya, according to a statement by Kanunta, have been transmitted to both countries since August 26, and acknowledgment received from Nigeria’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations in New York on September 17. Ejimakor tweeted, “I just concluded a visitation with #Onyendu. He salutes all Umuchineke for remaining focused on the mission of the moment.
He’s happy with the ‘Urgent Appeals’ issued by the UN against Nigeria and Kenya & salutes @MaziKanuntaKanu and Bindmans for their efforts in this regard.” In the appeal, UN demanded an explanation of the initial steps taken by the Federal Government to safeguard the rights of Kanu in compliance with international instruments.
The mandate read, “As it is our responsibility under the mandates provided to us by the Human Rights Council to seek to clarify all cases brought to our attention, we would be grateful for your observations on the following matters: any additional information and any comment you may have on the above-mentioned allegations

As EFCC Grills Ex-SGF Anyim Over Alleged N780m Fund Hotmedia October 24, 2021 THE Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has interrogated a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Anyim Pius Anyim, in connection with the ongoing probe of a former Aviation Minister, Sen. Stella Oduah.
It was learnt the interrogation was based on N780million out of a lump sum allocated to a rehabilitation project in Oduah’s ministry allegedly traced to a company in which Senator Anyim has interest.
Anyim was yet to be released as at the time of filing this report.
A source, who spoke in confidence, said: “The EFCC on Sunday commenced the interrogation of a former Senate President, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim in a case of corruption and diversion of public funds.
” Anyim who arrived the headquarters of the anti-graft agency in Jabi, Abuja around 3pm, was currently being grilled by a team of operatives.
” The interrogation is tied to the corruption and money laundering case involving former Aviation Minister and serving senator, Senator Stella Oduah.
” Part of the rehabilitation funds to the tune of N780 million were allegedly traced to a company in which Senator Anyim has interest.”
Contacted, the Head of Media and Publicity of EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, said he has not been briefed on the matter

Government is in control of the major aspects of our lives. Yet, someone tells you not to be part of the process that determines those who emerge to form your government. No wonder we have the wrong people in power in the political space.

The Value Chain Development Programme (VCDP) focuses on supporting cassava and rice value chains for small farmers in the six states of Anambra, Benue, Ebonyi, Niger, Ogun and Taraba while also addressing the constraints along the value chains. With an estimated 70% of the total population of Nigeria living in rural areas, agriculture is a mainstay of economic activity. The livelihood of smallholder farmers has been constrained by a host of challenges: low productivity; paucity of opportunities for value addition; environmental degradation; limited access to productive assets and inputs; inadequate support services; limited access to rural financial services; inadequate market and rural infrastructure; post-harvest losses and a constrained enabling environment. To address these challenges, the VCDP aims to enhance productivity increases, promotion of agro-processing, access to markets and opportunities to facilitate improved engagement of the private sector, and farmers’ organisations themselves, in the development effort.
Their objective globally includes,
(I) support to value and market linkages,
(ii) support to market infrastructure
(III) support to farmers’ organization
(iv) support to smallholder
(vi) increase value addition and access to markets realized by beneficiaries
(vii) realize demand-driven infrastructure investments for improved access to market
(viii) support farmers’organizations (Fos) in programme areas in effectively serving their members and to increase production and productivity of smallholder rice and cassava farmers in the programme areas
At least 75 % of surplus production of cassava and rice is being sold to markets by smallholder farmers60% of the target smallholder use some market information generated by an Agricultural MISAt least 65% and 50 % reduction in post-harvest losses for rice and cassava respectively, are achieved
And atleast 40% of supported Fos are strong (good record keeping, strong business plans, generating profit, etc)50% increase in rice and cassava produced by the target smallholder farmers
Nigeria is one of the luckiest nation among which her citizens are beneficiaries of the value chain programs.
Example are the rice seed trainees selected across the six state of her nation which are currently being trained on rice seed production in bida Minna Niger state.
The program which has lasted for more than a month will be currently rounded soon.
After which the trainees can comfortably go to their various state to produce rice seed and supply to farmer.
All thanks to the IFAD_VCDP for providing opportunity to every average Nigeria .
The pioneer state deputy chairman of the All Progress Congress (APC) in Enugu state,Comrade Adolphus Ude, has emerged as new state chairman of the party.
Comrade A.C.Ude beat two other candidates namely Dr Chukwu and Chief Benson Eze in a keenly contested election,held at the state party Secretariat, located at No 126 park avenue GRA,Enugu,aftermath of a peaceful state congress.
He scored a total of 782 accredited delegates votes to beat Dr Chukwu with 202 votes and Chief Benson Eze,who scored 142 votes in the election,which ended late in the night.
The three man APC state congress election committee to Enugu state led by Mr Akagha Jonathan certified the election as free and fair. Comrade A .C Ude who is among the foundation members of the party in Enugu state,had held positions as Chairman, Mobilization and contact committee of the party,Organising secretary, Youth leader 2019 re election campaign of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Others elected in the peaceful Enugu state APC Congress held at the party secretarist were Anike Nwoga, who is also a foundation member of the party in Enugu state.Chief Amike Nwoga emerged as state deputy chairman of APC in Enugu state.
Hon Evaristus Asadu,another foundation member of the party emerged as new state secretary of the party in Enugu state,the publicity secretary position went to a staunch member of the party fondly referred as ‘Akwaeke,the position of state treasurer of the party was won by Hon Chuks Adobe while Mrs Favour Asogwa was elected as the new state woman leader of APC in Enugu state.
Comrade A.C.Ude and other members of the newly elected executive of APC in Enugu state were firmly sworn into office by the out gone state chairman of the party,Dr Ben Nwoye,whose executive equally transformed into the State Caretaker committee of the party based on directives of the National secretariat of the party led by Governor Bunmi, for all organs of the party to be transformed as caretaker committee, prior to a National convention of the party.
Earlier in his speech,Dr Ben Nwoye commended all foundation members of the party who stood by him throughout the travails of his administration,expressing gratitude to God Almighty that they won in all the suits,having cautiously trailed within the rules and guidelines embedded in the APC party constitution.
He said it is very unfortunate that his traducers are mainly those who newly joined the party and were given lofty positions at the center ,but instead of using their position to promote peace and progress of the party in the state, they are instigating factionalism in the party. He commended many of the stakeholders and grass root members of the party in the 17 local government areas of Enugu state for their dedication to the party.
Meanwhile, Barr Ugo Agballah,who joined APC about three months ago was declared as winner and state chairman elect of APC in Enugu state, in another state Congress election by a faction of the party loyal to Chief Ken Nnamani and Mr Geoffrey Onyeama,the foreign affairs minister,held at ‘De Dome Event Center,New haven Enugu.
It was gathered that ex Governor Sullivan Chime and Chief Ken Nnamani, left the venue due to the atmosphere of rowdiness and controversy the Congress generated, before finally Chief Agballah was declared winner.
Tunde Bakare, the leader of Citadel Global Community Church (also known as Latter Rain Assembly), has said that it is of no importance what region the next president comes from, as long as said individual is able to govern properly.
“Listen to me, if where the president comes from will make the place he has come from to be better, the northern part of Nigeria should be the richest and should be the most progressive and the most developed because out of 61 years, the north has produced either the president or heads of state for 40 to 41 years, and yet see the retrogression in the North,” Mr Bakare told State House correspondents on Friday afternoon. “Not where they come from, it’s what they carry and what they have to offer. May the best of the best of Nigerians rise, whether they’re from the east, from the west, from the north, and from the south.
Mr Bakare’s comments came shortly after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
His position could widen the raging debate about whether or not the presidency should be ceded to Southern Nigeria by way of consensus in 2023 when Mr Buhari’s tenure will expire. Mr Buhari is from Northern Nigeria and power rotation has been practiced amongst political parties in informal arrangements because the Constitution did not prescribe power rotation between the multiple ethnic and religious groups within the country.
While several politicians in the South have threatened serious political consequences if the power is not shifted to the region in 2023, northern politicians are insisting that no citizen should be disenfranchised because they are from a region that produced the last president.
Mr Bakare, in his exchange with the State House reporters, acknowledged the validity of internal party zoning arrangements, but said such affairs cannot supersede extant constitutional provisions.
“If there are agreements between politicians among themselves on rotation, a bargain is a bargain, that’s between them,” he said. “But as far as this country is concerned, what we need at this stage is a man who can drive us to the Eldorado.”
Mr Bakare also hinted at the 2023 presidential election, saying if Nigerians and God wanted him to run for the position. he would.
“Every Nigerian, who is of age and who is not disqualified by any means, is free. I’m a nation builder, if God wants me to do that, and the people of Nigeria will appreciate that, why not? I’m as free as anybody to do anything with my time. I’ve pastored a church for 33 years, now we raise new leaders. I want to focus on nation-building.
This meeting comes after Mr Bakare, who was Mr Buhari’s running mate in the duo’s unsuccessful presidential run in 2011, had publicly declared in July that he would no longer visit Mr Buhari as the president failed to improve the lives and wellbeing of Nigerians.
Last year, Mr Bakare had asked that he be exempted from national conversations.
As Anambra State Gubernatorial Election draws close, it is important to note the number of candidates and political parties participating in the election, community reports.com
Below are lists of Governorship Candidates, Political Parties and other information as listed by Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC – less than a month to the election.
It seems that all is not well with the state of things in the camp of our Hon. Minister, Ken Nnamani, Sullivan Chime, Emma Eneukwu among others. There’s this information that the election was inconclusive following the controversy between the two major contestant in the camp of the aforementioned leaders (Ugo Agbara & His Excellency Group Capt Orji). According to source, group Capt Orji, was purportedly undergoing screening when Ugo Agbara, entered the venue with some guys suspected to be thugs & decleared himself winner of the purportedstate Congress.
It was equally alleged that Prince Mama, jumped out from his seat & begin to destroy some chairs based on the manner Agbara decleared himself winner of the congress.
Those who witnessed the embarrassment includes:
His Excellency Chief Sen. Ken Nnamani.
Chief Emma Eneukwu.
Source said, Chime & Hon. Minister, were not seen in the program. 😂😂😂😂
Wonders is an understatement, as failures will continue to amuse us with dramas
If a national security meeting held today (12th October 2021), in attendance would be:
Muhammadu Buhari.
Yemi Osinbajo.
Lucky Irabor.
Boss Mustapha.
Ibrahim Gambari.
Babagana Monguno.
Abubakar Malami.
Bashir Salihu Magashi.
Ibrahim Attahiru.
Awwal Zubairu.
Usman Alkali Baba.
Yusuf Magaji Bichi.
Ahmed Rufai Abubakar.
None of the thirteen (13) of them from the South-East and ten (10) of the 13 attendees Muslims! And, of course, the meeting would be chaired by a Muslim deemed to be an Islamic bigot.
The shock is that Nigerians have lived with this outrage for over 6 years; yet, the same Nigerians are perplexed by acute insecurity in Nigeria.
The starting point of unraveling and solving the consuming security challenges in Nigeria, which will get much worse in 2022/2023, is to properly constitute any national security meeting for equity and balance.
Proper composition of that meeting must be two persons from each of the six geopolitical zones, with each of the two main religions – Christianity and Islam – being represented by 6 members. Even if President Buhari would chair the meeting, he should not vote on any major issue being deliberated upon…unless there was a tie.
Unless the national security meeting is properly constituted, such a meeting cannot be trusted on security; in fact, it should be suspected of being behind insecurity challenges that have bedevilled Nigeria since 2015.
National Assembly members, you cannot continue to ignore flagrant disregard of provisions of the Constitution – including provisions regarding Federal Character. May I remind you that any breach of the Constitution by anyone who has sworn to uphold same is an impeachable offence.
And you media practitioners, if you keep quiet over this wickedness because you are a Muslim or because you hate the South-East, you will sooner or later become a victim of exclusion/discrimination and insecurity yourself. Karma never fails.

Last Thursday had Chief Hope Uzodinma at Orlu where he flagged off a military campaign, something exactly like the infamous”Operation Python Dance”. His charge to the military was clear and unambiguous. Ending his speech, Uzodinma openly promised to personally reward the officers and men if they succeeded at the tasks for which they were called upon.
Barely twenty-four hours later, the tasks began. The military invaded Izombe in Oguta LGA of Imo state and burnt down over seventy residential buildings, including the palace of a revered monarch, and brutally murdered tens of unarmed young persons. These were done in flagrant violation of all rules of engagement. It was reported that the military personnel were on an illegal duty, taking sides in a dispute between oil thieves and cultists when one or two of the personnel got killed. In keeping with Uzodinma’s charge to them to crush, to destroy and to annihilate, the full might of the military was let loose on the entire community. Izombe was up in flames!
Till the late hours of Friday, gory images of slain young men kept pouring out from the area. Burnt buildings, weeping mothers, despairing kids, and a crowd of people racing along and fleeing the community were some of the outrageous and mindboglling scenes that emerged from Oguta on that day.
The morning of Saturday saw Izombe an empty, deserted town. It had been overrun, sacked and destroyed. It had become a ghost town. On the soil of Imo state today, Izombe people have become internally displaced persons in a heartbreaking manner. When theirs is added to the other areas which had earlier been torched, destroyed and deserted, like Orlu, Orsu and Oru East, it means that under the watch of Chief Uzodinma a territory in Imo almost the size of Malta has been destroyed and deserted within six months.
What troubles everyone is the reason Uzodinma is always fast to call the military on his people. It also baffles the world that no degree of onslaught against his ostensible citizens can get him to speak or act. If he chooses to speak, it is always to justify whatever misery that his militarization has brought on the people and to threaten to do more. “It was on my invitation that the military came” and “I have identified three locations in Njaba that I will bomb” are statements by Uzodinma which everyone must never forget.
Three days since the flow of blood and rage of fire began in Izombe, nothing has been said by Uzodinma. He has, worse still, left the state in pursuit of mundane pleasures in Abuja, while literally handing over the hapless citizens to a military whose profile in human rights violations is legendary. Resolution of dispute between criminal gangs is completely far from the mandate of any army in the world. Yet, this is the anomie which Uzodinma has brought to Imo state. And the people are paying with their lives!
The Izombe carnage should once again remind Imo people that they are living at the mercy of God alone. Those who swore to an oath to protect lives are now culpable in a festival of blood! Everyone is a casualty in the face of the ongoing battle which Uzodinma fights against his own people. All mortuaries in the state have been filled up with corpses to the extent that none accepts fresh ones.
The killings in Izombe will only make matters worse. Imo is finished! The FMC in Owerri recently announced plans to conduct mass burial for the countless unidentified corpses dumped in their morgue. Who killed them and dumped them there? Why would a so-called governor watch his citizens gruesomely murdered? Why does Uzodinma want Izombe wiped out? What has befallen Imo state? God please save Imo people!
With defeat staring the All Progressives Grand Alliance in the face, the Anambra People’s Mandate Movement has discovered attempts by Governor Willie Obiano and Professor Chukwuma Soludo to bribe the Independent National Electoral Commission with the sum of 10billion Naira to rig the election in its favor. We uncovered that the deal which was assigned to the duo of Primus Odili, Obiano’s Chief of Staff and Chinedu Obidigiwe, member representing Anambra East and West Federal Constituency has an aide to the INEC National Chairman and a key officer in INEC’s office in Anambra as key players in this scheme. The idea was allegedly broached by Odili to Obiano who immediately involved Obidigiwe despite Odili’s protestations. Obidigiwe immediately arranged a meeting between him, Odili and the aide to the National Chairman of INEC who immediately asked for the sum of 15 billion but settled for 10 billion after a session of hard bargaining in a popular hotel in Utako. Governor Obiano had also decided to involve a lady working with INEC at the state level, the lady who hails from Nando had been influential in Obiano’s 21/21 magic in 2017 as well as bringing Soludo into the picture only last week asking Soludo to shop for 5 billion which will be given as initial payment while another sum of 2 billion, sourced from government’s quarters was to be paid a few days to the election and the final 3 billion paid after Soludo emerges and is sworn in. We call on the relevant authorities in INEC, ICPC and EFCC to quickly rise to the occasion and save Anambra State from such planned electoral heist which will only impoversih the people. We also are ready to present such evidence to any investigative panel on this matter. Anambra State is not for sale!
It’s been said that politics is the second oldest profession, I’ve also learnt that it bears a striking resemblance to the 1st.
Recall ; The South East Caucus of the National Assembly held an extraordinary session on Wednesday, September 15, 2021, to review developments in the South East, particularly (a) The security situation in the region vis-à-vis the sit-at-home orders and (b) The detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
It’s very quit unfortunate that up till date nothing has been done to release the leader of the indegineouse people of Biafra and to also curb the social vices mated to (ndi Igbo) everyday by day .
One would questioned the authenticity and the outcome of the caucus meeting of the southeast national assembly lead by senator Prof ike ekweremadu if actually the meeting was meant for the welfare of igbos and the release of mazi Nnamdi kanu.
Birds of the same feathers they say flock together , political interests is always their motives and there priority.
Offrecently ekweremadu has been flaunting and rocking it’s self in social media one of which was the “hard copy program with the channels television”
Karma is inevitable and it awaits each an everyone of you who is an accomplies to the caucus members of the southeast national assembly.
They jeopardize with the economy of the southeast making the masses a savage and leaving peanuts for the people to contend with and fight one another .
Power belongs to God you must not become governor if God hasn’t signed it, politically trading with the release of mazi Nnamdi kanu just to gain trust and confidence that indeed you’re out for their interest, even when you know that you never meant well for them if not for them to vote for you in your political ambition to become governor of enugu state come 2023.
A word is enough for the wise as the end shall justify the means.
The attention of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has been drawn to a part of the resolution by the Northern States Governors’ Forum with Northern States Emirs and Chiefs held on Monday, September 27, 2021 at the Council Chamber, Sir Kashim Ibrahim House, Kaduna. A part of the resolution stated that “the Forum unanimously condemn the statement by the Southern Governors Forum that the Presidency must go to the South in 2023. The statement is quite contradictory with the provision of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (1999) as amended ….”
The above remarks by the leaders of the North indicate a bleak future for Nigeria. It is most regrettable that the North are undisturbed that Nigeria is fast collapsing under its leadership. The Forum failed to recognize that at the moment, Nigeria is confronted with the most precarious omens full of uncertainty, doubts, insecurity and bloodshed. The Chairman of the Northern States Governors Forum, Governor Simon Lalong can attest that the people of Plateau State had never in history witnessed the number of deaths as has taken place under his watch as governor. The banditry in Zamfara, Katsina, Kaduna and Jigawa States is terrifying. Benue State has turned into a killing field. The States of Yobe and Borno are worst hit by the menace of Boko Haram; etc. Several schools in the North could not open because of kidnappers and millions of children are on the street as beggars. The Nigerian currency has lost its value. Unemployment has skyrocketed; and Nigeria has become the poverty capital of the world…..and the Northern Governors, the Sultan and the Emirs instead of seeking solution to Nigerian problems were busy strategizing on how to retain power in 2023. This is most unconscionable, to say the least.
Let it be made abundantly clear that if Presidency is a panacea to people’s problems, the North would have become the Netherlands of Africa. This is because the North had Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Yakubu Gowon, Murtala Mohammed, Shehu Shagari, Muhammadu Buhari, Ibrahim Babangida, Sani Abacha, Abdulsalam Abubakar, Musa Yaradua, Muhammadu Buhari, yet the problems of the North are on the increase.
It is most worrisome that the Sultan of Sokoto, Alh. Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar, CFR, the spiritual leader of the Nigerian Muslims, one of the most respected Sultans in the recent history and the living conscience of the North, took part in such subversion. For the avoidance of doubt, there is peace in the progressive societies because men of conscience are more in number. On the other hand, the crises in Nigeria is a product of greed, injustice, religion without sacrifice and impunity.
The position of the Southern Governors is simply restating the obvious. A gentleman agreement was reached at the NUC Conference Centre, Abuja in 1998 between the North and the South. The Late Dr. Chuba Okadigbo spoke for the entire South and Alh. Abubakar Rimi, also of blessed memory spoke for the North. It was agreed that after Gen. Abdulsalam Abubakar as the Head of State, that the presidency should shift to the South. That accounted for the emergence of the presidential flag bearers of the mainstream political parties from the South West. Chief Olusegun Obasanjo respected the agreement and handed over to the North in the person of Musa Yar’Adua. Again, Goodluck Jonathan, a Southerner, respected the gentleman agreement and handed over to the North in the person of President Muhammadu Buhari. Therefore, the least that is expected from the North is a show of profound gratitude to the entire South for their large heart, equanimity and sportsmanship. Furthermore, it is in the interest of every Nigerian that there should be a paradigm shift to governance techniques. Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide unequivocally stands with the 17 Southern Governors and any black leg among them will incur the wrath of history.
Nigeria has two major groups of people. Those that cherish the corporate existence of Nigeria on one hand and those that do not value the unity, peace and progress of Nigeria on the other. The latter indulge in reckless nepotism, ethnocentrism, avarice, supremacist mentality, hollow expansionism and poor judgment of history. It is the law of nature that light illuminates and that in religion, both the Lord Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed stood for truth.
Ohanaeze uses this singular opportunity to express disappointment over the unholy manouvres and alliances by the members of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) to zone the presidential seat for the 2023 general election to the Northern Nigeria. The exponents of this agenda, in their jaundiced calculations, believe that it is a sure way of regaining power from the All Peoples Congress (APC). Experience would have taught them that to zone their presidential position to the North is an orchestrated requiem for the party; because more PDP Governors and grassroots will surely desert them. May I remind the PDP that the South East has made unquantifiable sacrifices for PDP beginning from the time of Dr. Alex. Ekwueme. If by way of politics without principles the Southerners in PDP place their personal narrow interests over the interest of their people, the verdict of history will surely be harsh on them.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo led by Ambassador Professor George Obiozor reiterates that the bane of Nigeria is raw injustice especially targeted against the Igbo and until we begin to wean ourselves of the Igbophobia and rather harness individual and group resourcefulness, creativity, ingenuity and initiatives wherever they are found, Nigeria will remain on the downward spiral.

Saudi Arabia is the headquarters of the Islamic religion. They practice the religion to the core. In fact the holiest Islamic site is there. They practice polygamy. Mortality rate there is low. Standard of living and health condition there is very excellent and they are very wealthy They have access to the sea on all sides. Have land mass of 2,149,000 sqkm. Their POPULATION as at 2015 = 28 million of which, 8 million are foreigners.
Nearer home in Africa . Our next door neighbors up north is Chad . Land mass of Chad is 1,280,000sqkm. They are almost 100% an Islamic state with the same culture , religion, agrarian and animal husbandry profession and even ethnicity as our brothers in the Northern part of Nigeria . They marry many wives too. But with a population of 13 million people. Ndjamena there capital city nearer the Chadian basin and rivers have population of 700,000.
3 Our other neighbor Niger Republic , with a landmass of 1,270,000 sqkm, who share the same culture, language, ethnicity, agrarian and animal husbandry profession and religious practice that allows polygamy like our brothers up north has a population of 18m people.
4, Now fast forward to NORTHERN NIGERIA, with a land mass of 614,000 sqkm. Which is a quarter of that Saudi Arabia.Half of that of Chad and Niger. With very much higher mortality rate than Saudi Arabia. Ravaged by poverty and disease with one of the worst health care system in the world. No access to any river , sea or body of water like Saudi Arabia, yet someone want me to believe that they have 90million human beings living there .
Now wait for the bigger contradiction, Benue and Plateau states, the richest and greenest belt within the North does not have as great a population as their neighbours, who live in the arid desert. Haba! HOW? By what magic ? If you query them , they will tell you that their religion allow them to marry many wives . So how come your brothers in Chad that marry so many wives and who also live by the great lake Chad are not as populated as you are ? Common people .
Festus Odimegwu was on the verge of unraveling this mystery and exposing this grand fraud foisted on us by the Britishers by resolving to conduct fraud free census, before Jonathan sacked him because Jonathan was blackmailed. That was one of the unforgettable and unforgiving sins of Jonathan against the Nigerian state.
Look around you , from Sudan to Mauriania to to Somalia to Egypt to Morroco, practicing Muslim countries in the Northern part of Nigeria and Africa with the same polygamous religious culture , some even with access to the sea, far greater land mass and healthier and richer health conditions . Check out their population. Please kindly review the factors that influence the population of a given region or location at any time (it is an assignment) and tell me what you get .
I have a friend , who is a pilot . He has flown the length and breadth of Nigeria. The guy is at a loss as to where the 90million are hiding in the Northern part of Nigeria. He cannot understand the mystery. It is this kind of unresolved mystery and fraud, which has continued to fuel the agitation of progressive folks for a total overhaul and restructuring of Nigeria, which the north is viciously resisting. We cannot continue in this lies without resolving it. It is offensive, insulting and annoying for you to continue to throw a false and bogus population figure at my face. A figure that does not show at all in the bottom line, a figure that adds NO much value to the common wealth.
Enough is Enough.
My own analysis: Another thing that proves Nigeria population is a hoax is the number of registered active GSM lines which lies between 100 million and 110 millions. On the average, every Nigerian gsm user has 3 active lines. This brings the number of active subscribers to less than 40 million. If you add the number of children and non gsm users you’ll arrive at a figure of nearly 80 millions to 100 millions. I dare say that Nigerian population is not more than 100 million. During voters registration, we get mind boggling figures, yet during election, with all the massive multiple thumb printing that goes on, we always end up with figures less than 30 million. Who is fooling who? We suck as a nation.
I can tell you that if census figure is used for taxation instead of revenue sharing, we won’t have more than 80 million Nigerians.
The South East Caucus of the National Assembly held an extraordinary session on Wednesday, September 15, 2021, to review developments in the South East, particularly (a) The security situation in the region vis-à-vis the sit-at-home orders and (b) The detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Rising from the meeting, the Caucus: 1. Expressed solidarity with our people of the South East over the marginalisation of the region in the scheme of things within the Nigerian commonwealth. The Caucus feels the pains of our people and their quest for equity, justice, and protection of their lives and property in every part of the country. The Caucus, therefore, resolved to continue to fight for a level-playing ground and an enabling federal system where Ndigbo are able to develop their homeland at their own pace and equally pursue their happiness and actaulise their enormous potentials in every part of the country, unmolested. 2. Reviewed the sit-at-home orders by the IPOB and the mayhem some nefarious elements have seized the opportunity to visit on the lives, properties, and psyche of our people. The Caucus equally reviewed and rued the incalculable economic losses and hardships these have brought upon our region. 3. Resolved to condemn in strongest terms the disruption of the ongoing Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination in some parts of the South East, particularly the incident at Comprehensive Secondary School, Nkume, Njaba Local Government Area of Imo State, where the English examination organised by the West Africa Examination Council, WAEC, on Monday, September 13, 2021, was ruthlessly scuttled by armed men, who chased away the students, teachers, and examiners before setting ablaze motorcycles belonging to the teachers. This is certainly not who we are as a people. On the contrary, we are a people, who have always cherished and encouraged learning from the ages. We are a people that fully appreciate the place of education in the liberation and enlightenment of the human mind and the socio-economic and political emancipation of a people. 4. Equally condemned in strongest terms the incessant killings in the South East. This must stop immediately. We call on the security agencies to unravel the culprits behind these wicked acts and ensure that they are brought to book to serve as a deterrent to others. 5. Noted with delight that IPOB has called off the Monday sit-at-home order and resolved to ensure that nobody uses them as façades to bring ruination on Igbo land. 6. Call on our people to go about their lawful businesses and enjoin our governors and the security agencies to rebuild confidence in our people by not only ensuring the security of their lives and properties, but also ensuring that our people feel safe as they undertake their legitimate businesses. 7. Elaborately discussed the issue of Mazi Nnamdi and resolved to intervene. To this end we resolved to set up a committee to constructively interface with relevant stakeholders, the Federal Government and its relevant agencies towards finding a political solution. We will keep Ndigbo abreast of developments in regard. 8. Appeal to our people not to allow anyone to destroy the South East region. The post-war South East was not built through government patronage, but largely by the sheer determination and sacrifices of our people, who refused to resign to fate or bow their heads in defeat. It is in Igbo land that you easily find hospitals, schools, roads, and other social amenities built by individual or communal efforts of the people, home and abroad, through the instruments of the town unions and other community organisations such as the age grades, Umuada, etc. The result is the comparative transformation witnessed in every nook and cranny of Igbo land post-civil war. Therefore, as a people, we cannot begin to undermine ourselves or become our own nemesis. Times like these call for introspection. We must also always bear in mind that our people thrive on industry, commerce, and the informal sector. Importantly, most of our people depend on daily income. Therefore, while we must fight for our rights and legitimately express our displeasures over every form of mistreatment, injustice, and inequity, we certainly cannot afford to be the proverbial lizard that ruined his mother’s funeral. Anything that threatens Igbo businesses, the peace, security, and stability of the South East threatens our very existence as a people. Consequently, bearing in mind that if we allow cracks in the wall, lizards will invade our home, we must all pull together as one people to discourage and resist any tendencies and actions, within or without, which pollute our business environments or encourages anarchy and instability in our region. 9. Finally resolved to join hands with other patriotic Nigerians across regional, religious, political, and ethnic divides to reconstruct a federal system where our rights, happiness, and prosperity and those of our unborn generations are guaranteed. SIGNED All Members of the South East Caucus National Assembly
The decision came in a resolution adopted by the Emirati federal cabinet on Monday.

The government official has yet to be publicly identified by the Emirati authorities, amidst claims that some elements in the Nigerian government were mounting diplomatic pressure not to publish the name.
At least 47 other foreign nationals and entities were also added to the watch list by the UAE on Monday. Following is the full list of added individuals:
Ahmed Mohammed Abdulla Mohammed Alshaiba Alnuaimi (UAE)

IPOB’s sit-at-home is costing huge amounts of money, which has been put at over N100 billion for everyday the sit-at-home order has been complied with.
Obviously, we are against the weekly sit-at-home, because it is too costly for South-East economy and because it has also cost lives and properties. Above all, it will not achieve release of Nnamdi Kanu.
We recommend that instead of the South-East governors engaging the pro-Biafra agitators in a show of force and supremacy, that the South-East governors directly or indirectly engage the freedom agitators in realistic and effective dialogue.
Naturally, the issue of proscription of IPOB by the South-East and Federal Governments would come up, and we advise that the South-East governors unproscribe or deproscribe the pro-Biafra activists.
We also advise that the South-East governors prevail on President Buhari to mend fences with IPOB. And we hope that IPOB, as part of a deal, will apologize to President Buhari while the Federal Government should pay compensation for unwarranted military assault on the Kanu household that resulted in the death of many people – including Nnamdi’s parents.
Also, as part of the deal, IPOB should cease Radio Biafra broadcasts, including their insults on President Buhari, etc, and engage in civil society or political activism until President Buhari vacates office on 29th May 2023.
South-East APC Integrity Group hereby offers to participate in the process of release of Nnamdi Kanu and negotiated settlement between IPOB and the governments that proscribed them quite unjustifiably.

The sanctity of my home oduma has been defiled, by misguided individuals in the chase of acquiring wealth.
Oduma used to be a sacred entity where our elders are respected ,women held in high self esteem as they comport their women hood until the prime stage where she is giving out by her parents in marriage .
Oduma used to be the food basket of aninri and enugu state which across the nation has still retained that aspect of their cultural heritages.
Where have we gone wrong, what is happening among our women ,why can’t our mothers look after there young girls and protect them from the hands of these sexual business opportunists whom has invaded our land in search of our young girls to defile and sale into sex hawking.
It’s very quiet unfortunate, so disheartening and pathetic if the leaders in oduma won’t rise up and put a stop to these menace before it spreads across our town oduma
The president generals and the traditional rulers in the various communities across oduma should join hands collectively in tackling trafficking and sex hawking etc
Every sex hawking joint should be shut down definitely to safe our children especially our young girls and boys.
All hands must be on deck to achieve these. Let what happened to this girls be a lesson to each an everyone out their , parents advice your children and caution them ,know the kind of pears they keep ,where they go to and what they do .
Ask not what your party can do for you ,but what you can do for your party,
Every accomplishments starts with the decision to try, as we express our gratitude we must never forget that the highest form of appreciation is not to utter words ,but to live by them.
Our problems are man made , therefore they can be solved by man . No problem of human destiny is beyond human being
Honorable emeka eze the voice of APC in aninri has chooses to go to the moon in this decades and do the other things not because they’re easy but because they’re hard because that goal will serve to organise and measure the best of his energy and skills
The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining, Aninri has experienced many political turbulences for the past years but it’s time to make a right because we got it right this time around in our electing the man with tact’s and wisdom to solve the instability in our political circle.
The greater our knowledge increases the more our ignorance unfolds. Let’s work together with the justified technocrat tasted and proven beyond all reasonable doubt that he has the capability, competency, reliability, honesty and commitment in moving our great party APC to the promise Land .
Leader’s are elected by the people and never should it be selected by the greedy elites and political jobbers.
APC aninri congress was free and fair, as the present of the past and present ten ward chairmen and their executives across aninri and the state electoral delegate was also present to conduct the Congress, also was the LG past and present executives, DSS and police security personnel was acknowledged present in the event, including many other dignitries and followers.
The party faithfuls came in large numbers to elect and behold their chairman whom has done so well in harmonizing and moving the party to another great level in his immediate past regime.

Together we can one love and unity keeps us together remain sir
Recently Channels Television televised the interview of Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State and Commodore Kunle Olawunmi (retd.) on their station. They were interviewed by some journalists. In the interview Governor Samuel Ortom made an allegation of a fulanization agenda and Olawunmi alleged that there are people who are in top positions in Buhari Government that are sponsors of Boko Haram.
The allegations made by Governor Samuel Ortom and Kunle Olawunmi, a former Naval chief have resulted to an intended ban of Channels TV by President Muhammadu Buhari Government. The Government of President Muhammadu Buhari has issued a directive to the National Broadcasting Commission to sanction the TV station.
A critical question to ask is who is to be blamed for the purposed ban by President Buhari Government on Channels TV? Is it the interviewers(Channels TV Journalists) or the interviewees(Governor Samuel Ortom and Olawunmi)?
Was there anyway the Journalists who interviewed them and asked the questions, could have totally isolated themselves and the Television station from the allegations made by Governor Samuel Ortom and Commodore Kunle Olawunmi (retd.)? Would this have prevented the ban on the TV station.In recent times, we have seen some broadcasting stations put a disclaimer remark when a guest is stating an opinion that is not totally approved by them. If Channels TV had put this disclaimer remark on the statements made by Gov Ortom and Olawunmi, would there have been a different outcome?
The beauty of life is the amount of those you mentor and brought to spot light.
None could ever doubt the great impact Dr Abraham shaibu and Mr dogo made in the agricultural system in nigeria and in West Africa , they has lectured and impacted knowledge to the young youth farmers of Nigeria through series of lectures and practical that has yielded positive results
Speaking on behalf of the rice seed trainees which includes enugu, kogi,and nasarawa we extend our warm immeasurable gratitude’s to them and his team of colleagues for the good job done so far .
We also cannever forget the ( APOS ) from various state who deemed it fit to see to our success in these program .
Words can never be enough to thank the ( IFAD _VCDP ) for initiating these programs through which they eradicate poverty in the world most especially nigeria and west Africa precisely.
The Ohanaeze Youth Council, OYC- the apex youth organization in Igboland frowned at Gov. David Umahi’s unwarranted silence on the inhumane activities of dreaded Fulani herdsmen Killers, describing his inaction as anti-Igbo and a pure sign of collaboration with the dangerous killers ravaging Ebonyi and Enugu states as well as other parts of Igboland.
Addressing newsmen at Abuja federal capital territory during the meeting of Coalition of Nigeria Indigenous Ethnic Nationality Presidents on Thursday 12th August, 2021, the national President of the Council, Comrade Igboayaka O. Igboayaka stated that Gov. Umahi being the Chairman of South-East Governors Forum is the brain behind the unwillingness of other Igbo governors to join hands in floating a community based vigilante network across Igboland in order to stop the ravaging Fulani herdsmen terrorising our communities and farm lands.
The Ohanaeze Youth Council-Oyc President Comrade Igboayaka O Igboayaka stressed that Ebubeagu Security Network was structurally mismanaged on its formation, and the resignation of Gen. Umahi(Rtd) as the Chairman of the security committee of Southeast was also as a result of sabotage by Gov. David Umahi.
“It’s with utmost dismay, that General Umahi(Rtd) a direct brother of Gov. David Umahi resigned from being the Chairman of Southeast security committee with a may excuse of lack of fund. Ndigbo are wise and intelligent to be deceived by craftiness of Gov. David Umahi”
Igboayaka added that Gov. David Umahi should explain to Ndigbo how his brother resigned from such sensitive responsibility due to lack of funds.
He said Gov. Umahi has shown timidity, insincerity, craftiness and open sabotage over the lives and Property of Ndigbo especially the Ebonyians who are always victims of fulani herdsmen attacks including beheading, raping of women and more.
“Ebonyi has recorded the highest victim of fulani herdsmen killers followed by Enugu state, yet Gov. Umahi has blocked every reasonable solution to stop the killing of Igbos in Ebonyi State”, Igboayaka Stated.
Ohanaeze Youth Council therefore, call for immediate resignation of Gov. David Umahi as the Chairman of Southeast Governors Forum, and as well stop gambling with the precious lives of Ebonyians in the hands of Fulani Herdsmen killers for selfish political reasons.
It’s obvious that Ebonyi and Enugu are close neighbors to Benue and Kogi, and that the route of influx of fulani herdsmen to Igbo land.
The Southeast Governors should realize that it’s on history that under their watch Ndigbo are being killed, slaughtered, pregnant women butchered in Okpokwu Mgbuji Eha Amufu, Obie Aku, Opanda, Ukpabi Nimbo, Ogwurogwu, Umudikwu, Aloke, Umugwuocha, Mgboko Enugu State, Nwaofa, ugwu achara, nworie izzi, Odoke, Ndiobasi, Obakotara, Egedegede, Obegu and Amuzu communities in Ebonyi had fallen victim of fulani herdsmen killings with over 500 deaths, including over 50 missing people kidnapped by fulani herdmesn.
It a historical betrayal that Gov. Umahi led Southeast governors Forum could go to bed and sleep while Fulani herdsmen have captured the boundaries that linked Ndigbo to Mid-belt.
With this spite high insecurity both internal and external none of the Southeast governors has courage to profile a workable solution to stop their killing of those they Swear to protect their lives and properties.
This leadership failure by the Southeast governors and other political, religious and traditional actors has resulted to youths taking laws into their hands, and the consequences is nearly leading Alaigbo into anarchy. The internal insecurity is in Southeast and break of law and order is the monster that grew up by the negligence of constitutional responsibility of Southeast governors to provide security for their citizens, Igboayaka revealed.
In Conclusion, If after 60 days and there is no visible evidence of operational and functional community vigilante Watch in Igbo land, we will reaffirm our believe that Gov. Umahi is technically sponsoring Fulani herdsmen’s to slaughter Ndigbo, Comrade Igboayaka Stated.
Signed Comrade ThankGod Umeh Special Assistant On New Media To The National President Ohanaeze Youth Council(OYC)
Community development is a vital role every patriotic citizen should determine to achieve and history will never forget you.
A dream come true is the language every youth of uchoke speaks today , Haven gone through the shackles of distress and pressures today victory is ours .
To God be the glory in the successful completion of our project which has been finally mounted and installed today along the obeagu amokwe road axis with these our mission on these particular project has come to an end .
Ezigbo lives on ,the legend of our time, your memory shall never depart from us till eternity. We miss you ,we love you , you legacies rest on .
I call upon the local government chairman, honorable chief Ezikiel chukwu ,the legislative house of aninri with immediate alacrity to immortalize the image of ezigbo the dengi of aninri whom forth tremendously to give life a meaning to the people of aninri . The local government Secretariat should be named after him for his memory ever remains fresh in our brain .
An ordinary people in general: can you really afford not to be interested or not to participate in politics?
Politics is not only activism , it’s awareness, it’s keeping ourselves informed , it’s caring for the facts, when it’s possible. it’s casting a vote.
Politics is the tool through which we structure ourselves as groups and societies. Politics governs every aspect of life ,and by not participating in it , you’re literally allowing other people to what our can eat, where,if you can have good health care ,free education,how much tax you pay ,when you can retire ,what is your pension.
Other people are also deciding on wether your race and ethnicity is enough to consider you a criminal,or if your religion and nationality is enough to put you on a terrorist list.
We need to teach people at an early age about decision-making and how to be part of of it.
Every family is it’s own mini political system that’s usually not democratic, because parents make decisions that affect all members of the family,while the kids have very little to say . Similarly, politician’s makes decisions that affect the whole nation ,while the people have very little to say in them .
My proposal and advice is , try out the family democracy meeting system, because that will enable your kids to exercise their agency and decision making from a very early age . If you include your kids in family conversations they will grow up and know how to participate in political conversations.
And most importantly ,they will help others engage .

The Federal Government has declared Tuesday July 20 and Wednesday July 21, 2021, as public holidays to mark this year’s Eid-el-Kabir celebration.
The Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, who made the declaration on behalf of the Federal Government, congratulates all Muslim faithful and Nigerians at home and in the Diaspora on this occasion.
“I call on Muslims to continue to imbibe the spirit of love, peace, kindness and sacrifice, as exemplified by the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) and to also use the period to pray for peace, unity, prosperity and the stability of the country, considering the challenges of insecurity we face at the moment. These mainly are bandits in the North West and North Central, insurgents in the North East, kidnappers, armed robbers, ethnic agitators and sundry criminals in other parts of the country” Aregbesola added.
The Minister assured that the Administration of President Muhammadu Buhari is “committed to the security of lives and property of every Nigerian, empowering the citizens for successful living, the provisions of social investments programmes and adequate security in the schools, especially with the spate of innocent school children being targets of kidnapping” he added
Aregbesola, while wishing Muslim faithfuls a happy Eid-el Kabir celebration, advised all Nigerians to take responsibility by reporting any suspicious individuals and criminal activities to law enforcement agencies, especially during this festival.
He also enjoined on all Nigerians the observance of all Covid-19 protocols, particularly the non-pharmaceutical measures – wearing facemasks, hand washing and social distancing – designed to keep transmission of the disease at bay. “We must all take responsibility for containment of the pandemic during this year’s festival” he said.
The Minister sympathises with the families of school children who have been kidnapped or suffered one misfortune or another. “Our hearts and prayers of comfort are with you” Aregbesola said.
The big question I keep asking is ? “aprt from sex what else can a Nigerian average women offer to a man ”
Most of our men are poor today because of the endless inesvestiments they made on women probably their wives or cumcubines so to speak, we work tirelessly to make earn Smith but ended up investing it on wen . Men why ?

Waistful years won’t come back check the time it’s thicking forward and never a back Ward .wake up my fellow men ,wake up my fellow youth the future is bright COMRADE ONYEABOR CHISOM is knocking on your door to raise from your slumber don’t allow women ruin your life and savings .
As the much anticipated National Convention of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) draws closer, the Race for the National Chairmanship Seat is becoming more interesting as some Prominent Politicians have already indicated interest in Top Seat. Notable among them are
No 1. Tanko Al-Makura, He was born in 1952. He is a Nigerian businessman and politician and also a former governor who is a senator in Nasarawa State running in the (All Progressive Congress) ticket.

Chris Ngige has finally reacted to the activies of the IPOB. He said it was time for the Igbo to realise that their success in the east is not tied to IPOB. He claimed that the IPOB has done alot of damages to the Igbo people. The minister said the Igbo needs to look for a way to disassociate themselves from activities of the IPOB.
Chris Ngige is a minister under president Muhammadu Buhari’ s administration. He is a member of the PDP and he is an Igbo man. Chris Ngige is the current minister for labor. According to him, he believes that the activities of the IPOB may continue to do great damages to the Igbo people. He called on the Igbo people to wake up and look for a way to arrest those who want to destroy their future.
The minister made it known that the IPOB is a bad group. He said the IPOB has nothing good to offer them but total destruction and deceit. He said the Igbo needs to realise that they have been lied to by the IPOB. He called on all stakeholders to look for a way to protect and defend themselves by fighting those who are criminals amongst them. He said a good decision has to be reached for the people of the east to be safe.
Recall that the south east is currently battling with a high degree of insecurity. The burning of police station, vehicles and the killing of police officers has been a daily incident in the east for few weeks now.

The president also said that the IPOB has no where to go because they are just like a small dot in a circle.

Due to this, the ibo youth has urge the president not to see all easterners as IPOB members. Also, Chris Ngige, labor minister has urge the people to look for a way to ensure the arrest of IPOB members to redeem the integrity of the igbo.
CHRIS NGIGE URGE IGBO PEOPLE TO LEAVE BIAFRA AGITATION, SAYS IPOB HAS NOTHING TO OFFER
We heard it last during the heydays of Donald Rumsfeld under George Bush – and judge in what condition it has left that part of the world, and beyond. Rumsfeld’s namesake – a sobering coincidence – also spat the same gung-ho rhetoric. That Donald once ordered his uniformed forces to “go out there” and “dominate the environment”, following civilian protests at extra-judicial killings of blacks by state police. Soon enough, leaving nothing to chance, that Donald II seized on the first opportunity to personally mobilize a mob to “dominate” Capitol Hill, his own seat of government that was clearly slipping from his control.
Optimists are free to underplay that threat to the much-acclaimed democratic beacon. Study that scenario carefully however, and you find It is not a question of: it could never have succeeded. Such surmises are wrong, It COULD HAVE SUCCEEDED, albeit with unpredictable consequences for America and the world. And so, when the elected head of a democratic state like Nigeria, not perched precariously on the knife edge of power but with a couple more years in the kitty, threatens to “shock” dissidents, we should indeed be shocked out of any complacency. Even if History has been deliberately eliminated from the school’s curriculum, Memory suffices to jerk us into a watchful, precautionary alert.
I hold no brief for those who resort to burning down police stations, slaughter their occupants simply for the crime of earning a measly monthly pittance, torch electoral offices, assassinate politicians in calculated effort to set sections of the country against others in the promotion of their own political goals. These are largely nihilists, psychopaths and/or criminal lords, soul mates of Boko Haram, ISWAP, Da’esh and company, not to be confused with genuine liberators. All over the world, throughout history, elections are denounced, boycotted, and generally delegitimized without recourse to wanton butchery.
When, however, a Head of State threatens to “shock” civilian dissidents, to “deal with them in the language they understand”, and in a context that conveniently brackets opposition to governance with any bloodthirsting enemies of state, we have to call attention to the precedent language of such a national leader under even more provocative, nation disintegrative circumstances. What a pity, and what a tragic setting, to discover that this language was accessible all the time to President Buhari, where and when it truly mattered, when it would have been not only appropriate, but deserved and mandatory!
When Benue was first massively brought under siege, with the massacre of innocent citizens, the destruction of farms, mass displacement followed by alien occupation, Buhari’s language – both as utterance and as what is known as “body language” – was of a totally different temper. It was diffident, conciliatory, even apologetic. After much internal pressure, he eventually visited the scene of slaughter. His language? Learn to live peacefully with your neighbours. The expected language, rationally and legitimately applied to the aggressors, was exactly what we now hear – “I shall shock you. I shall deal with you in the language you understand”. That language was missing at the moment that mattered most. It remained “missing in action” for years until a belated “Shoot at sight” outburst. Too late, and of course, inappropriately phrased. The precedent had been set, the genie let out of the bottle, consolidating a culture of impunity that predictably spread its bloody stain all over the nation.
Buhari’s recent deployment of this language is thus wrongly targeted, and tragically untimely. Even while he was threatening dissidents, an agenda of both secessionism and alien occupation was taking place not too distant from Aso Rock. ISWAP was taking over the already excised territories of Shekau’s Boko Haram, appointing new warlords of the occupational forces, sectioning Nigeria into vassal states and unfurling their replacement flags of domination. Soon, logically, ISWAP’s letters of diplomatic accreditation will be presented in Aso Rock?
We must however backtrack a little – that is the function of memory. It would be false to suggest that these eggs of impunity are newly laid. They have been incubating in loathsome hatcheries of power and domination for years, even decades, and now the raptors have been hatched and taken wings. The political culture of the devil’s bargain, of denial, evasion, avoidance of constitutional mandates, the culture of “appeasement of the unappeasable” – to quote myself – in order to gratify the vested interests of a narrow, power obsessed elite has blossomed. Finally, the chickens have come home to roost.
The evocation of the Civil War, where millions of civilians perished, is an unworthy emotive ploy that has run its course. In any case – and this has been voiced all too often, and loudly – the nation is already at war, and of a far more potentially devastating dimension than it has ever known. Every single occupant of this nation space called Nigeria has been declared potential casualty, children being pushed to the very battlefront, without a semblance of protective cover. We have betrayed the future. We need no breast beating about past wars. The world has moved on, so have nations. Some, however, prefer to move backwards. The continent is full of these atavists. In Nigeria, powerful cliques of this persuasion still roam the corridors of power We are indeed at war. It does not take the formal declaration of hostilities, with or without lethal bombardments, for a nation to find itself shell-shocked. The populace of this nation is already in that shell-shocked condition. So, what is there left to shock?
It is time to think “outside the box”. That many, in so doing, find no landing place except dissolution, is not a crime. It is not peculiar to any peoples, and is embedded in the ongoing history of many, and not only on this continent. It is their natural right as free citizens, not slaves of habit and indoctrination. Where disillusion rides high, sentiment tumbles earthwards, and the only question becomes: what can be salvaged? It thus remains the responsibility of leadership to persuade them, through both discourse and remedial action, that there are other options. Attempted bullying is not a language of discourse, nor the facile ploy of tarring all birds with the same feather.
I shall end on a personal note. It was not intended but, in view of breast thumping rhetoric by one president after the other over military sacrifice – undeniable, certainly – such recalls should be considered salutary.
The beauty of life is the amount of people you built around yourself and those you mentor and brought to spot light .
There’s no medicine in the world great than hope . There’s is no succor , pallative or incentive so large and no uncertainty so powerful as the expectation of hoping for something better tomorrow than today .
The small little secret about life is if you believe in something, you can actually make it come true . One gets out of life ,only what one truly believes in.Hence always think positive you will surely be successful.

On Sunday, suspected Fulani shepherds attacked and killed more than 30 Igbo- speaking indigenous people living in the Ado local government area in Benue state. Local government area leader James Oche confirmed this in a Facebook post on Monday sharing videos and photos of the incident. Suspicious shepherds allegedly attacked Ndigwe, Ataloga, Odokem, Ekile, Nduobasi, Ekpufu, Obakota, and other nearby LGA villages.
He urged the people of the area to defend themselves, adding that the era of the locked arms was over. The LGA chief wrote: ” Yesterday no less than 30 Igbo- speaking indigenous people from the local Ado government were killed in attacks by Fulani shepherds and their mercenaries in Ndigwe, Ataloga, Odokem, Ekile, Nduobasi, Ekpufu. Dakota and Other Nearby Villages “We have a situation of nearly 5,000 internally displaced people on top of the destruction caused by the attackers.

No more word of mouth and crossed arms. The people of Ado have to face the occasion for self-defense. In any case, our people must be empowered to defend themselves. Killed enough, we are not cowards.
What’s happening in Nigeria? Blood, blood, blood every day. Why? It is a lesson to all African leaders.
African leaders must and focus on building their nations and providing jobs for the youth. In Nigeria, unlike other African countries, politicians and the wealthy are surrounded by police guards everywhere as a result of insecurity arising from kidnapping, armed robbery, bandits, Boko haram, etc.
Our leaders must change so that Africa does not deteriorate into a failed continent.
