Mktinsight the night owl, go and look for job. There is insecurity everywhere in Nigeria. Stop coming here with your politically veiled posts as if there’s any state that’s safer than the other in Nigeria. A whole bus full of passengers was kidnapped last week in Enugu, till now nothing has been heard, if it was in Anambra, you ediots would still be here to post nonsense. No one in Enugu thread is even talking about it.

abuzz33:
You don't kidnap people with stones but with guns and a vehicle on major roads. You use the telecommunication system. Yet what was Soludos response to anti kidnapping? Handing out vehicles and a 5m reward.
If one is serious about shutting down these gangs Israeli military consultants have the tools to use intelligence to track every single one of these gang members. They have the tools to identify arms movements. But soludo solution is buying pickups and painting agunechemba on them.
Professor indeed.

Mktinsight the miserable frustrated schizophrenic insane old foool. I asked you if the picture of the guy in the post you made is Chuks GSS? Answer me,

abuzz33:
Chino you demented poorly educated fool with nothing upstairs. You failed reading comprehension. Go back and read the post again boy.

Mktinsight the miserable old night owl, is this person in the picture Chuks GSS? Now it is clear that 90% ediots that comment here are not from Anambra and don’t know anything about Anambra.

abuzz33:
Keep living in denial about the sad security situation in Anambra. Chuky on his Instagram page showed the following:

Miserable ediot you wish you are from Anambra. We all know who you are. Keep deceiving yourself.

My useless incompetent governor is Mr I am the only one from

Soludo is by far better than your useless incompetent governor. Anambra is safer and more developed than your backward useless state.

nedu666:
After 3 and half years as governor. Vehicles and communications gadgets are still on their way

This is what I was just stating here now. When I stated that this is a regional thing, some ediots were here arguing nonsense. Enugu has been hit.

This is very true. When ESN was formed in Aba/Owerri by Ipob, we warned against it. But because SE is a small place, they easily reached out to the entire region. Every community, every state of the region must be part of pushing back on this nonsense that was brought about by Ipob to the region.

EmeeNaka:
IPOB-ESN has destroyed Igboland. You think calling someone Efulefu or supporting IPOB-ESN terrorists make you an IGbo person? You may be one of the IPOB-ESN members, and you must refrain from provoking people. Any body who justify IPOB in whatever guise or reason is a criminal. Igboland don't need IPOB illiterates.

I quite agree with you. Until we see the insecurity in the SE as a collective challenge, the region won’t make much progress. Almost every state in the region has similar security challenge, but pinning it in a particular place is a total flaw. Size of SE is averaging the size of Oyo state. Tell me why we should see the challenge in the region as a regional issue.

EmeeNaka:
it's definitely senseless how our people believe that security failure in the North makes the insecurity in South east acceptable. Gov Willie Obiano started such useless narrative in 2021 election campaign. In one hand, IPOB supporter Catholic priest, Obimma, claimed that one Igbo man is equivalent to 500 hausa lives and some people were in agreement, but when it come to counting human life lost to insecurity, they count one hausa to one igbo. Even at that, nothing justify an IGbo man killing another Igbo man. Fulani terrorists do not kidnap or attack fulanis. Hausa bandits do not attack hausas, I jaw militants didn't kidnap I jaws.
Only Igbos kill Igbos or kidnap other Igbos. The same thing happened during slave trade. It is horrendous and completely unconscionable.

You are talking nonsense. No one mentioned northern states here. Imo state is the UGM, terrorists, kidnappers and armed robbery headquarters of southern Nigeria, but media is not talking about it.

Places like Orlu, Orsu, Oguta, etc, are no go areas due to high insecurity ravaging the state. Forget the media bias misinformation, no place is actually safe in Nigeria. Insecurity in Nigeria is a national issue, but usually Anambra is the center of attraction whenever it is mentioned. Otherwise places like imo state has thrice the insecurity we have seen in Anambra.

Obi1kenobi:
One of the things I find ridiculous here is talking about the manifest failures of Anambra in security and some people start gaslighting you by:
1) talking about how there are other states with security challenges
2) talking about how we're making ourselves look bad

This is gaslighting and it's also very juvenile. And irresponsible. And makes no sense.
Nigeria is one of the worst shiitholes on the planet in the APC era (we're competing with countries like Somalia and South Sudan for the very bottom of humanity), so using the situation in states in the North to console yourself about our situation is obviously absurd. We should aspire to be the best, or be among the best of the states in this absolute shiithole of a country (which would still leave us among teh bottom of humanity) rather than comforting ourself with the notion that our security challenges is not as bad as Borno or Yobe or Kaduna. The fact that Anambra is the kidnap and crime capital of the SE alone is utterly disgraceful and merits vocal condemnation.

You people should stop this back and forth arguments here. There’s no state that’s safe in Nigeria. Things are happening almost everywhere. Enugu state is not safe, so for ediots that are referencing Enugu should know that Enugu is not safe despite the propaganda going on there. Imo state is not safe, Abia is not safe. This is a SE problem, some you ediots should stop narrowing it down to Anambra, because there’s no single state in SE or Nigeria that’s safe. Anyone in Anambra now can attest that activities are everywhere in the state. Media is the only tool that’s escalating both fake and genuine news. Mbah is not doing anything differently, because places like Nimbo, Nsukka, etc are still under siege by insecurity but mostly unreported.

Ediotic basstard was it chino that made the video to expose the propaganda and lies going on in Enugu state? Btw, what’s happening in Enugu aside propaganda? Is Anambra not performing far better than Enugu state? Keep living in denial while things are going bad everyday. If you don’t have data, borrow and watch the video.

oilykid:
Ignore the Chino clown up there. When ever he sees anywhere something is happening in the east apart from anambra, he gets angry and invades the space

Anambra is the main

Ositaufere millions of Ebonyi people live in Anambra because ebonyi is a curseddd useless worthless devilish state.

Ebubu6:
Anambra and devilish news always in the bad news.

Democrats are the Nigerian version of APC. Very useless party

Mktinsight take your nonsense elsewhere. There’s no safe state in Nigeria, not even a single one. Stop your stupid warped narrative of making this situation in Nigeria about Anambra. Anyone in Anambra right now can attest to the massive influx of people in the state. Almost everywhere is full of activities. However, Anambra is among the safest in Nigeria standard.

abuzz33:
I was talking to a friend who told me about how US intelligence recruited an Israeli firm to Crack a criminal rings communication.
It made me think that perhaps Anambra should recruit Israelis to gather intelligence and identify all the kidnap gangs and gunrunners operating in the state.

stevonics:
Northerner are many in Owerri

Most imo indigenes live in Anambra.

Enugu and ebonyi should be ceded to northern Nigeria. Shame on more especially Enugu that was even once a regional center for the eastern region.

All these insecurities originate from imo state, no wonder, it mostly affects Anambra communities that are boundaries with imo state.

abuzz33:
The kind of crime committed points out to well coordinated weapons distribution. There are only three sources of military grade weaponry in Anambra:

1) The Nigerian police. Interestingly over 2,000 guns have disappeared over the years from police formations in Anambra which suggests a level of complicity between police officers and criminals something that needs to be investigated by special forces.

2) Gunrunners. There has been little investigation to identify and arrest gun salesmen in trading towns like Onitsha and Nnewi. The trucks that ply the state sometimes carry contraband items like guns and bullets.

3) ESN - The igbos continue to underplay the dangers of an armed paramilitary group claiming to fight for liberation. From Liberia to Sudan such groups usually morph into monsters competing with the state for power. The gangs claiming to be ipob armed faction is directly responsible for the increasing insecurity in the state.

Solutions:

1) Cameras. The armed gangs that conduct car snatching, kidnapping often ply the expressways of the state. Yet the state cannot even conduct simple intelligence of identifying suspicious vehicles on the road. There are no cameras monitoring major roads or arteries or reading vehicle license plates.

2) Hand held XRay Scanners- Armed military officers tactically experienced should man checkpoints on the roads not to restrict flow but to identify suspicious drivers and vehicles for further surveillance. Xray Scanners can quickly find vehicles transporting hidden guns.

3) Criminal profiling. Govt should recruit special investigators to build profiles of criminals in the state and to monitor their communication and social networks. From this intelligence profiles of gun runners, kidnap gangs and financiers can be built for prosecution.

4) Police probe. Police should be investigated for gun running and ties with cultists, kidnap gangs with bad eggs identified and prosecuted. The state must act quickly on this.

5) Military action - the military must be engaged to flush out the camps of kidnap gangs in forests around the state in a concerted action. It must operate in Anambra, Imo and Enugu.

There’s no safer place in Nigeria. However, all that you listed, are even more in other states if statistics are taken.

abuzz33:
Under Soludo:

- 1 house of assembly member murdered and beheaded
- 1 house of assembly member kidnapped
- Retired Arch bishop kidnapped
- 1 catholic priest killed
- Several Catholic and Anglican priests abducted
- US Convoy attacked with several killed in Anambra
- Multichoice Supersport Team kidnapped in Anambra
- Ex Commissioner kidnapped in Anambra
- Secretary of Idemili Branch of NBA kidnapped while Ihiala NBA Principal State Counsel murdered
- UNIZIK Lecturer kidnapped in May 2024
- Another UNIZIK lecturer killed in Dec 2024

Government should endeavour to be releasing this information every month.

MatrixCircle:
I don't believe this shift list. Aside from kano I don't believe other figures from the Northern stares were nothing is happening.

Osisiomo alone in Aba , Abia state where Ariaria market and other industries are
generates more than 3 billion monthly in VAT.

The hype and noise from you abia people is the reason people thought that Abia got anything. There’s nothing in Abia aside noise.

Anambra is top 5 in VAT earnings in Nigeria, and top 5 in this list represents the most developed states in Nigeria. Switch Anambra with any other SE, then watch the ediotic hawks invade here to lecture us endlessly. See the gap Anambra gave other SE states. Right now, no one is talking about it.

1. Lagos: N242.63bn
2. Rivers: N78.62bn
3. Oyo: N32.44bn
4. Kano: N9.78bn
5. Anambra: N5.62bn


These are the most developed states in Nigeria.

Impressive

Awka – Anambra State has recorded a remarkable increase in its monthly Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), rising from ₦2.2 billion to ₦5.2 billion within the past year—a growth of over 100%.


This was disclosed by Amara Oyeka, the Senior Special Assistant to Governor Chukwuma Soludo on IGR, during the presentation and validation of research conducted across 21 major markets in the state’s three senatorial zones.



The research is part of the Tax for Service Project, implemented by the Tax Justice and Governance Platform (TJ&GP) in collaboration with the Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC), with support from Oxfam Nigeria.

Despite the growth, Oyeka noted significant obstacles in achieving this result. Many affluent citizens in the state evade taxes, while a substantial portion of collected revenue—estimated at over 50%—is diverted into private hands.

“We have a situation where revenue collectors are richer than the government,” Oyeka revealed. “Most of those tarnishing the government’s image are not even employed by us. While we work harder than other states, the system is plagued by numerous leakages. We are determined to address these issues.”

He emphasized the need for collaboration among stakeholders to sanitize the system and ensure that Anambra receives its rightful revenue share. “The higher the revenue, the greater the citizens’ power to demand public goods,” he added.

Ugochi Ehiahuruike, Executive Director of the Social and Integral Development Centre (SIDEC), which hosts the Tax Justice and Governance Platform in Anambra, highlighted the project’s goals.

“The Tax for Service Project is designed to bridge the gap between taxpayers and service providers, fostering transparency, accountability, and trust in governance,” she explained. “This research provides a foundation for strategic interventions to improve tax compliance and public service outcomes.”

Dr. Greg Ezeilo, Chairman of the Anambra State Board of Internal Revenue Service (AiRS), represented by the Director of Taxes, Herbert Ofomata, lamented the disparity between the state’s economic potential and its revenue profile.


“The financial worth of markets in Anambra is immense, yet government revenue does not reflect this reality,” he said. “Markets are the oil wells of this state. From Onitsha to Awka, markets dominate, and we must leverage this resource to fund public services effectively.”

The state’s commitment to reforming its revenue collection system, coupled with partnerships with civil society and stakeholders, signals a determined effort to enhance transparency and accountability while maximizing Anambra’s economic potential.

Get out of this place this envious miserable bitter basstard. Anambra has the highest IGR and VAT in Igboland. When the VAT was released, I didn’t see ediots like you go round to talk about it. Every positive news about Anambra troubles you basstsrds, so always look for a way to play it down.

pandax:
5.2b pcm is commendable, but Anambra can effortlessly do at least 15b pcm
Please go and compare notes with Enugu, as they seem to have got it right.
An average man, every where in the world would want to avoid tax if it's possible, so tighten up, no excuses

Why you dey cry? Because e don reach your domot? Women are the most selfish people on earth.

Imo state is the most insecure in Igboland. Most of these attacks are coming from imo state

unclejb2:
This mumu is still talking. This Buffon is the reason why Anambra is the most insecure state in the south east

conquistadores:
Is the bridge Onitsha? Why are we not seeing the city itself but rather a bridge at the outskirts of Onitsha?

This interchange is in Onitsha and also the bridge is called Onitsha bridge.

miketayo:
Our standard is really low, road plus lights = beautiful
Very disappointing

What’s the standard in your backward state?

chypotenti:
Oga calm down, the pictures up there are not pictures of onitsha... Show Me real pictures..

The pictures are from where?

omooba05:
This is asaba and onitsha.. its called niger bridge..its an interstate connect so definitely federal government is in charge... Delta and gateway/border to Biafra land...

It is 100% Onitsha
