THE ANAMBRA STATE COAT OF ARMS – What The Symbols Represent Our new coat of arm and symbol brings together the spirit and essence of our great state. The new coat of arm and symbol of Anambra state is made up of the following elements: Ugo di ebube.... Ugo di ebube stands for Royalty, Pride and Excellence in Igbo cosmology. No other bird typifies the Anambra person better than the Royal Eagle. Nkwu... Nkwu in Igbo cosmology denotes plenty. The pair here represents the wealth of talents that abound in both the male and female citizens of Anambra. The Niger Bridge ... This engineering artistry is iconic. The Niger bridge symbolizes the gateway into the heart of the Igbo nation. Igwebuike.. the 21 active currents ...Symbolises our 21 local government areas. This represents the continuous developmental energy of our people Okike... Okike symbolizes dignity, honour, nobility. It is positioned at the base because the foundation of our aspirations is based on the time honoured igbo tradition of truth, honesty and hardwork. ....the tapestry on each of the tusks symbolizes the industry, dexterity and creative essence that lead to the height of our achievements. The Penny... The round coin under the roped pot is the penny of the old days. The penny sign stands for Aku na Uba. We are proud business and craft men who travel around the world doing business. ....The circle at the centre of the penny shows our continuing readiness to put at the centre of all our action, God Almighty who is depicted here by a circle – having neither beginning nor an ending. The Roped Pot... The Roped Pot symbolizes the art of metal works among our people. It also represents the history and success of this ancient art. Ugu leaves and blooming petals of sunflower... ..Symbolise our prosperity in agriculture and a hearty and cheerful people. -Dr. Willie Maduabuchi Obiano 2 Likes

no matter how much i look at this, i think it's damn ugly. I love the symbolism, but the proportion and medium are both off putting. either it's all un-real and graphically designed, or it's all real and simply photographed. plus the bird is quite small. 1 Like 1 Share |

MOBJECTIVE: no matter how much i look at this, i think it's damn ugly. You're not alone; that is the prevailing opinion. Unlike you, I don't like the symbolism... In fact, it's too symbolic that it has lost all meaning. That combination of live ugu leaves and a bitmap eagle and torch drives me insane. The palm trees are ridiculously out of scale; in what universe is a sunflower the same size as a palm tree? The tusks are larger than life. Biko, Obiano should employ a proper Graphics expert; there are tons of them on NL. |

In his remarks, the Commissioner for Works, Arc Callistus Ilozumba called on the youths of the community to avoid activities that will cut short the life of the road like dumping of refuse and building of road bumps. In their separate speeches, the member representing Idemili North at the House of Assembly, Hon Tony Muonago; the President General Obosi Urban Landlords Association, Sir Patrick Oyeduba; and the Chairman Idemili North LGA, Chief Emma Idemobi ; all described the road as the panacea for the traffic at Nkpor junction while appreciating the Governor for the strides on security. Umunnachi Anambra State government has revealed that the 4.2km Ozzuh-Umunnachi road awarded at the contract sum of N800million will take 1year to be delivered. The road will link a major by-pass to Abagana- Oye agu, thereby making it less difficult to connect to the old road. Umudioka-Ogbunike Chief Willie Obiano has directed the immediate demolition of a fence which is on the right of way of the road being constructed by the state government. He made this known at Umudioka-Ogbunike road during an inspection and also stated that there will be no payment of compensation since the major house is not affected even as he warned people to endeavor to build their houses several meters away from the major road. Umunya Chief Willie Obiano has stated that power will be improved in the state as he reaffirms its importance in the society. He made this known while flagging off the construction of Nteje-Umunya-Umudioka- AforIgwe-Ogidi road at Umunya in Oyi LGA.

He also reminded the Governor that the Umunya-Ogbunike road, NYSC camp road, Umunya- Awkuzu-Ukwulu-Nsukka road; and Umunya-Ifitedunu- Oye Agu roads also need equal attention. Awka Community Chief Willie Obiano has revealed that the state government will flag-off the construction of 3 fly- over, and had also directed the Ministry of Local Government and the Ministry of Public Utilities and Water Resources through their Commissioners to ensure that all the streetlights are functional and also redesign the master plan and a state of the art housing estate in Awka.

He also assured them that whatever money spent on the projects will be accounted for in all ramifications. The leader of the team, Prof Tunde Adekola stated that the World Bank has earmarked 55 million Euros which will be shared equally to all the states; adding that it focuses on quality education. He also said that in the work plan for disbursement of funds in Anambra State, 30% had already been released in 2013, while the remaining 70% will be released. According to him, in order to improve technical education, private sectors and professional bodies need to be involved; technical colleges should connect to other colleges in the world to learn more. Collapsed Building Chief Willie Obiano has set up a panel of enquiry to investigate the remote and immediate cause of the collapsed 4-storey building at St Christopher’s Anglican Church Odoakpu Onitsha which collapsed in the first week of June and killed 4 persons working at that time.

Chino72: THE ANAMBRA STATE COAT OF ARMS – What The Symbols Represent The idea of a logo is good, But this one has too many messages, And too many symbols. The message should be short and simple. Nothing identifies Anambra people more than the Rising Sun It confines the past by its antecedents and the future by it glory of the emerging sun, into one icon we can all identify with. I do understand The political Dabble associated with it and the war. But it was not just about the war, it was about emancipation. Look at the Japanese flag, a simple red dot. Secondly, the original first image should be fit for Monochrome, not computer generated colour shades. Colours should be primary shades. These are 3D shaded clips. That tusk is simply not easily reproducible. Too complex. Forgive the criticism, it is part of building. This initial draft was probably put together by laymen like us, Obiano should find a good professional and graphic Artist to polish it. And probably conduct a research poll on what Anambrarians believes represents their aspirations My suggested Symbols are 1. Do away with the repeated British format, it is too colonial for 2014, why is the Eagle important to Igbos? The British empire is dead. 2. The centre icon should be the rising Sun 3. I love the igbo ukwu pot, as a reference to our art 4. The Niger bridge is so outdated to become an Engineering reference- what about an Anvil, or bellows referencing black smithing. Do not forget that Egbe Awka is renown 5. The whole leaves thing is not necessary, their are many other imaginative ways of putting together the Symbols without mimicking the Nigerian Coat of Arms 6. What of conveying the words using the Abidii symbols, a secret of the Ozo and Nze's 7. The Palm tree is not so significant to the future of our commerce and industry. 8. The star of David disguised in the Penny, is a cloaked reference to Isreal, since it is a major symbol of the Isreali flag. It is the element of the symbol that I find intellectually stimulating, which I like. But the Penny is not easily recognised as a penny, so the cloaking failed. The simplicity of its design should take a cue from the Monochrome Israeli Star of David 9. Most of the icons are entirely of the past, what about the future? 3 Likes |

Antivirus92: keep writing and quoting ur self. You people said that we should leave ur enclave but u can go to any extent to make sure we igbos remain in nigeria even faking ur ethnicity. I'm from Njiko-Awka LGA in Anambra State and If you want we can express ourselves n' Igbo Nzugbe. I'm not quoting myself but I want you to understand that there is no need for emerging of Baifra. I was once praying for actualization of Biafra but I have grown up to ask why Ikemba Ojukwu started the war at the first place and I came to understand that it was for his personal gain and pride over a junior office becoming Head of State. No one can trick all Igbos again, millions of people dead starved and people were killed like flies just because of someone greed and pride, I can never be a fool to those calling Biafra. Nigeria was in peace in 1967 and there was no tribalism against the Igbos at that time why did Ojukwu ask our people to fight for actualization of Biafra. Remember, that war is what has made other tribes to hates us and never support us in becoming president. It is all costed by Ojukwu. |
Re: The New Anambra State Logo by Nobody: 11:34pm On Jul 06, 2014 |
declaro:I also agree Biafra's time has come and gone, but get some facts straight. Ojukwu didn't go to war with Gowon, Gowon went to war with Ojukwu. Ojukwu did not withdraw from Nigeria because of selfish reasons, various issues necessitated this. I know Nigeria has even removed this from her history syllabus, but let me sum up. Before the war, the people of the eastern region were facing persecution and being killed. After the war, they still faced persecution and marginalisation, but the killing stopped. However, Igbo military leaders had brought this on Igbo people, and I can't say the persecution was completely undeserved as the Igbo of the time were simply to dominating to exist peacefully in a federation. Cause: inciting the hate of other tribes by killing their leaders and effectively making Nigeria (both Northern and Southern) a state ruled solely by Igbo (eastern) military leaders + domination of trade at the time. Effect: tribal clashes and violence against the eastern people (especially by the Northerners) Ojukwu's solution: the creation of Biafra to protect the eastern people. Nigeria's response: immediate military action without resort to diplomacy. Results: no looser no vanquished or whatever the phrase was. however there was lack of self esteem as a people, loss of Language and culture, loss of trust from other eastern tribes and set back in development. These things as well as their results are in the past, Biafra is in the past. But the facts shouldn't be distorted simply because we have re-integrated with Nigeria. Ojukwu himself has been honoured so much by his people, and even by other Africans, as he is believed to have saved his people from the fate that met similar African tribes, such as that of the Tutsi's of Rwanda. |
Re: The New Anambra State Logo by declaro(m): 12:50am On Jul 07, 2014 |
MOBJECTIVE: What you said is true but the same hatred is been incited to other tribes once we continue mentioning the past, Biafra as a name should be abolished for us to move on. We can also avoid inciting hatred among other tribes by avoiding being tribalism in our comments in the social media. There is no point of remembering what has past since it will not contribute to our current welfare. Let's take other tribes as our people and see if that love will exist in Nigeria. Where Love and charity abides, God is found. |
