Igbos and Yoruba love marrying themselves? This is news since it's a rare thing to see a Yoruba woman in Igbo land

Rarely have I seen an Igbo man marrying an Yoruba woman, and the Yorubas who marry Igbo women are those they met in Yoruba land, and have been 'accultured' to Yorubas

In reality, most Igbos don't know much about Yoruba culture, and most Yorubas don't know much about Igbo culture

However, it is important to note that Yorubas and Igbos have been age-long political enemies, and that's why both tribes have no business being in one country together

Very true but I blame the governor's. They politicize the ministry of works since it is responsible for the bulk of capital spending. They push projects through without feasibility, environmental assessment and proper design. They focus on short quick wins instead of long term large scale integrated infrastructure that outlasts them.

Ministry of works that for last three years cannot fix the high traffic city road that leads to their ministry but are celebrating building low traffic street roads in anawbia.

Incompetence has serious consequences.

Another good thing about the current Anambra State Government is that all Agencies, ministries, contracts are working... No ghosting.
Even Awka Capital Territory Development Authority, ARMA...has never been this proactive.

Anioma community in Abuja passes vote of confidence in Ned Nwoko
Guardian NigeriaJun 16, 2024 3:52 AM



Indigenes of Anioma resident in Abuja have passed a vote of confidence in Senator Ned Munir Nwoko for outstanding representation at the National Assembly.
This was the highlight of an interactive session with Senator Nwoko representing Delta North senatorial district,held at the weekend in Abuja.

The event,attracted over a thousand Anioma sons and daughters, including serving and retired civil servants, as well as Anioma President Generals based in Federal capital territory
In a address,Senator Nwoko expressed gratitude for the indigenes’ support and said their presence signified a positive step towards realizing his vision for the people of Anioma.

The lawmaker said he convened the interactive session to unite all Anioma people in Abuja and its environs under one umbrella and inform them about his duties in the Senate and his responsibilities to them as their Senator.

He noted that it was also aimed to encourage them to share information about budget placements,capacity-building initiatives, job opportunities, training programs, and career development within established agencies and ministries,to enable him facilitate access to opportunities for Anioma constituents.

Senator Nwoko also renewed his call for the creation of Anioma state and stressed the importance over regional classifications.

“Whether Anioma is South-South or South-East should not be the focus. What’s most important to discuss is that Anioma is poised to become a highly significant and viable state. We already have six out of nine local government areas producing oil and gas. In addition, Anioma boasts numerous talented and important individuals. Despite current challenges, Emefiele will continue to be a prominent figure in Anioma. We also have people like Tony Elumelu, Jim Ovia, and other notable personalities. We have all the talents we need to excel in all areas, be it sports or academics.

“The Ekwumekwu war exemplifies the strength and resilience of the Aniomas. Historically, we fought the Europeans to preserve our identity and autonomy. We are continuing the legacy of our forefathers, and I assure you that I am dedicated to this cause.

“You must know what we are doing in the National Assembly.You need to understand my duties and the services I owe you. Whether it’s unjust job termination, health issues, or community matters, you have someone in the Federal Government to attend to your needs and concerns,” Senator Nwoko said

Earlier, Chief Godfrey Odogwu, the President General of Asaba Development Union, Abuja branch, emphasised that the creation of Anioma state is long overdue.

Patrick Obi, Branch President of Ogwashi-Uku Development Association, leading the vote of confidence in Senator Ned Nwoko stated, “We have been assured that we have a Senator. Doors have never been this open for us.”

Notable Anioma dignitaries at the event included Dr. Anthony Achuzia, Deputy Comptroller General, Nigeria Agricultural Quarantine Services; Onwubuya Henry Ngozika, Director, Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs; Mrs. Meg Okpala, Assistant Controller General, Special Services; Chief Anthony Molokwu, Ogwuluzame of Asaba; Chief Mrs. Bridget Molokwu,Deputy Director, Federal Ministry of Finance; Beatrice Eboka, Comptroller General, Nigeria Customs Service; and Mrs. Felicia Uzuakpundu, retired Director, Power Training Institute of Nigeria, among others.

National Ranches Commission Establishment Bill Proposes Jail Term for Defaulters
advocate.ngJun 15, 2024 5:08 PM

The National Ranches Commission Establishment Bill, 2024, which has passed the second reading in the Senate, proposes a five-year jail term and a N50,000 fine for defaulters if it becomes an act of parliament.

The bill, sponsored by Senator Titus Tartenger Zam of the APC from Benue North West, aims to establish ranches for herders in their states of origin, replacing the current practice of open grazing to address the issue of herder/farmer clashes in Nigeria.

If enacted, the National Ranches Commission would be responsible for managing, preserving, and controlling ranches nationwide. The bill faced opposition from Northern senators but eventually passed the second reading on June 5, 2024.

Part 1V, Section 23 (1) of the bill states that anyone who contravenes any provisions of the Act or regulations made under it shall be guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to a fine of N50,000 or imprisonment for five years, or both.

Part 1V, Section 22 (1-7) lists actions that would result in imprisonment, including alienating any rights affecting land constituted as National Ranches, making improvements without approval, encroaching on National Ranches, bush burning, hunting, using chemicals, felling trees, destroying the ecosystem, and allowing livestock to wander, roam, move, or graze outside National Ranches.

The bill is intended to regulate the management of ranches and promote a more sustainable and peaceful coexistence between herders and farmers in Nigeria.

TimeManager:
Anioma is an acronyms for different subgroups, it comprises of multi-ethnic groups across the nine local government.
Anioma is not an ibo-only dominated areas, Iglala, yoruba, Ika, Isoko, and others who are not identified as ibos make up the whole of Anioma. More importantly, Asaba which happens to be the capital of Delta state is untouchable, in other words, the state capital can never be carved out to somewhere else. Also is the fact that areas of a region cannot be carved out into another region, it is politically impossible. therefore, Anioma cannot be submerged into SE.
If Anioma would clamour for a state, it would make it the 7th state in the SS which would be resisted by other SS stakeholders. The location of a 7th state is a tough debate in the SS region, in any event, there would be public debates across the region.
Finally, Senator Ned was only flying a kite on facebook, he has the floor of the senate to move the motion but he knows there would be pandemonium in the senate

ANIOMA STATE AND SOUTHEAST: MY REFLECTIONS ON HON NED NWOKO BILL - PART TWO

On a humorous yet instructive note, in the spirit of the celebratory June 12 Democracy Day, which presupposes symbolically, in a way, that democratic representation without consultation is a recipee for 'totalitarianism and anarchy'.

Did our representative at Abuja, the mover of this contentious bill for the creation of Anioma State to be lumped in the Southeast Region consult his fellow elected members Viz:

All the three Delta State House of Representatives who are Hon. Ngozi Okolie, Hon. Nwokolo, and Hon. Ezechi?

Did he consult all the Delta North House of Assembly elected members?

Did he consult all the elected Local Government Chairmen and Councillors including our registered corporate pressure groups, notable ruling and opposition partisan cum leaders ofb thoughts?

Where the traditional rulers, Community Development Associations, Union leaders, Youth Leaders, Women leaders, Anioma Pressure Groups and our people in the Diaspora consulted consulted?

This question arises because historically, when the likes of late Sen Nosike Ikpo led the region particularly, the Movement for the Creation of Anioma State during the Second Republic, from the historical documents available, he secured the concurrence and signatures of Anioma elected cum traditional rulers, leaders of thoughts, including the opposition party elements.

For instance, Sen Nosike Ikpo a true grassroot democrat and Anioma son consulted the UPN elected senator, leader of the NPN, former Premier of Midwest State, Rt. Hon Osadebey and many other opposition leaders before proceeding to secure the National Assembly approval.

In a similar fashion, movers of the Anioma State creation after the Ikpo leadership era did wide consultations.

May our Honourable Delta North elected members at the national, state, Local Government levels, their authentic Aides and media consultants, please speak up.

Where you consulted before this bill on Anioma state creation that intends to lump us in the Southeast Geo-political Region as proposed by our representative at the Senate?

ADDITIONAL STATE IN ANY SHAPE FOR SOUTH EAST IS ACCEPTABLE
I can read some ignorant and insatiable Igbo people say they don't want Orlu State.
Tomorrow these same stupid people will say Nigeria is marginalising the Igbo.
I remember Buhari challenging Ndigbo to agree and bring the name of ONE STATE and he will put in motion its creation but Ndigbo COULD NOT AGREE on one state. Ndi Ara !!!. It has started again, NDI ARA are saying Ozubulu and Okija will not be part of Orlu State. Now tell me, what has Ihiala and Ekwusigo LGAs gained from Anambra State? Ihiala LGA is overlooked as a fringe LGA.
Please Ndigbo that are wise should SUPPORT this great move that our grammar speaking Igbo elites and Politicians couldn't initiate. Let us leave off the foolish wailers.
Finally, I do not care where additional state is created or the name so long as South East is given an extra state.

Now that explains why naira is stable at 1500

Because based on the money printed under Tinubu we should be at 2200 to a dollar minimum

My prediction is still a dollar to 3500 by 2027

APC as a party know nothing about economics

It's exciting that Gov. Peter Mbah is determined to make Enugu the top destination for international conferences. I hope he truly believes in this vision because our leaders sometimes doubt they can compete with venues abroad. His commitment could transform Enugu and show the world what the city has to offer.

Gov. Mbah must ensure he leaves no stone unturned in planting flowers and trees throughout the area. The ambiance created by proper landscaping is just as important as the buildings themselves. The ambiance should match that of international conference centers abroad located near 5-star hotels. The atmosphere created by abundant trees and flowers is crucial. Like the Abuja ICC, which isn't a spectacular building but feels world-class due to its beautiful landscaping, Enugu's international conference center can achieve the same standard. By focusing on creating a welcoming environment with lush greenery, Enugu can rival international conference centers and attract global attention.

The place is not along the shoreline of the Niger. The shoreline of the Niger lies in Anam and Nzam. I discovered that Anambra population zones are always far away from Niger shoreline except Onitsha city. Ogbaru and Anambra west which control the longer shoreline of the Niger remain sparsely populated

irisher:

You're absolutely right, a lot of people want to setup an industry on that axis because of its proximity to Onitsha and the much availability of lands on that area. But the problem here is that the road is yet to be dualised.
From the boundary bridge between Nsugbe and Umueri down to Aguleri Junction will be filled with Industries once the road is dualised.
This road dualisation will also uplift the face of the newly Ikenga Umueri International market that's currently under construction.
