That's what many of us don't understand,,,,
Money is not everything,, what you do\act gives you respect

LOVEALAIGBO:
Can’t argue with the list!

Obviously, had Prof Achebe and Ikemba still been alive they would have made the list too!

The Anambra airport could be named after Anyaoku, Prof Achebe or Ikemba!

gare:


What about Zubby ?

ecolime:

Add Odumeje too

Bullpenn11:


I think the present governor of the state Soludo want to name that very Airport after himself or maybe he is waiting for Anyaoku to die before he name it because the whole state knows that he hate Ojukwu wit passion and He don’t want to name it after another Prof as himself like Achebe.

I thought Bianca is not originally from anambra, or does she being married to anambra man makes her nambrarian?

yabatown:

What a rubbish comment.

Na so Typical Igbo, especially Anambra dey do. They will claim everywhere is no man’s land and want more rights than the indigenes but the way they create division even inside the Igbo land is too bad.

They can never allow any Igbo from any other Igbo and Igbo speaking state to get any benefit from their hoodlum and kidnappers infested state yet they want to dominate others in their own states and claim ownership of every market in every state in Nigeria.

Is high time other state in Nigeria start discriminating against Anambra people living in their states to serve them dose of their own medicine.

Arthur Eze nko?

If any of these 5 people walked any street in Anambra, people will troop out to greet them

But if Arthur Eze or Chimamanda walked on the streets, the reception will be far less

Every other person on list earned their popularity & prominence dated decades & the accolade accorded them are well deserved except PO who got popular through instrumentality of the social media influencers... infact his popularity is among the social media enthusiasts... go to the interlands outside the South east today, he is not known their.. he is equally not known by those not in the social media.. He should enjoy his celebrity status while he still on the screen of entertainment..
