1999 Nigerian constitution need amended is was writing by military men,for the country to move forward a lot of things need to be addressed in the constitution.In supreme court of united state it says in their constitution that states have the power to leave,but till date none want to secede because they believe in USA and it give citizens sense and right of belonging.

These can bring balance in the system and reality check on Nigerian leaders.....

nice pix it says a lot:

BIAFRA SHALL RISE TALLER

Land of the rising sun, we love and cherish,
Beloved homeland of our brave heroes;
We must defend our lives or we shall perish,
We shall protect our hearts from all our foes;
But if the price is death for all we hold dear,
Then let us die without a shred of fear.

Hail to Biafra, consecrated nation,
Oh fatherland, this be our solemn pledge:
Defending thee shall be a dedication,
Spilling our blood we’ll count a privilege;
The waving standard which emboldens the free
Shall always be our flag of liberty.

We shall emerge triumphant from this ordeal,
And through the crucible unscathed we’ll pass;
When we are poised the wounds of battle to heal,
We shall remember those who died in mass;
Then shall our trumpets peal the glorious song
Of victory we scored o’er might and wrong.

Oh God, protect us from the hidden pitfall,
Guide all our movements lest we go astray;
Give us the strength to heed the humanist call:
"To give and not to count the cost" each day;
Bless those who rule to serve with resoluteness,
To make this clime a land of righteousness

Nigeria, a strange name of a strange land, a strange land to strange peoples: we commemorate your demise with joy! We celebrate your death because in your death lie the true lives and freedom of your prisoners. Hence, death has brought life. In your death shall Christ’s glory be established among us; in your death shall death have no stings. Unless and until the seed falls and dies, it shall not spring forth fruits for man. Nigeria is a seed for what shall be. But a seed can never take the place of the bountiful harvest. Nigeria, you are a mother that eats her young from the womb, the stream that swallows her attendants. We therefore celebrate your death just as we mourned your accursed birth-accursed from your inception and accursed of God. It is with gratitude to God that, on this 1st day of October, 2012, we shall celebrate the timely death of that seed which has refused to die after having wasted 51 years of maturity over 100 years of living in unrepentant prodigality. In great joy and merriment, and in thanksgiving to the Almighty God, we shall celebrate your passing away into your reserved place. And on this 1st of October, 2012, as a mark of ceremonial honor and burial rights, we shall, once and finally, compel ourselves to sing this evil song with the watchers as a testimony against you:

Arise, O compatriots, Nigeria's call obey
To serve our fatherland
With love and strength and faith
The labor of our heroes past
Shall never be in vain
To serve with heart and might
One nation bound in freedom, peace and unity

BY DAN ONWUKWE

A presidential visit to any state of the country is seen beyond an ordinary visit. It is not a courtesy call. It is usually a visit with a difference. In modern politics, a president’s visit to any part of the country outside the Federal Capitals Territory is an informal mechanism to gauge the feelings of the people and where he stands in their reckoning, their expectations, and how he has measured up in that scale. In our country today, a president leverages on such visits to commission crucial projects.

In the last one year alone, President Goodluck Jonathan has visited Anambra State twice. It is not for nothing. By his own admission, the president said he feels more at home in Anambra than even in his own South-South region.

Beyond that, in the words of Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, “Anambra is the symbol of entrepreneurial activism in the country.” Chief Emeka Anyaoku, a renown diplomat and former Commonwealth Secretary- General, puts the attraction that Anambra holds for visitors this way; “there is a demonstrable evidence that governance is working in Anambra, and there is something to see and something to appreciate in terms of development of the state.” That perhaps was what brought President Jonathan back to Anambra state last month, August 30. So much was lined up for him to commission.

All of them represent a new Sunrise for the State. These included the Onitsha Inland River Port, SABMiller Breweries, the brand new Governor’s Lodge in Onitsha. The most important of all was the commissioning of Orient Petroleum Refinery. There is something about Orient Petroleum that is not attracting pretenders to the throne. It has a sweet smell.

The stakes in the project are high. The President recognized this when he inaugurated it. He said: “Anambra has joined the league of oil producing states… and history is not just being made in Anambra state but in the whole country, because Orient has made a mark by partnering with government to come out with this revolution. This will give investors both within and outside the country the confidence to invest in our sedimentary basins.”

The President who described this development as “good news,” commended those behind Orient Petroleum for pioneering inland crude oil production in the country. It is so because orient has found a mix of people, a bright purple team to bring about the desired change, a clean break, a new sunrise, fresh enough to inspire markets in the downstream petroleum sector.

On its board are people with the right blend of experience and newness that can connect with people anywhere, everywhere, in the world. These are Chief Emeka Anyaoku who is its pioneer chairman, former Vice President, Dr. Alex Ekwueme as Vice Chairman and super-diplomat, Chief Arthur Mbanefo. Its management is led by Chief Emeka Nwawka, an astute engineer and administrator.

Looking at the promise of Orient Petroleum, it is no surprise that challenges will come. Just before the company begins to refine the products for exports and reap the fruits of its labour, like the “disputed” child” which king Solomon adjudicated upon, claimnants want the oil-fields facility located in Aguleri-Otu, in Anambra East council to be shared.

They are aware of the dividends awaiting Anambra, at least, the extra revenue from the 13 per cent derivation fund, which of course, with the kind of astute management style of Governor Obi, Anambra could be in hot pursuit of the billionaire states in the Niger Delta region. Now, these are the spoilers: Enugu and Kogi states have thrown the hearts into the oilfields, spoiling for war, laying claims to the oil. While Sullivan Chime’s government is subtle in its claims and understandably so, Kogi State is contending that part of the oilfield is located in Ibaji land of the state.

The Kogi state government has joined issues through a statement by governor Idris Wada’s media aide, Mr. Jacob Idi. Anyaoku admitted that the basin may have cut across the states of Enugu and Kogi, what is not in dispute is that the bulk of the deposits are right within Anambra territory.

The fun to this dispute, and which makes the claims of Kogi and Enugu states look very puerile is: where have they been all these years when the “baby” was “conceived”, “delivered,” and now is been nurtured to maturity before they burst out like a silent mystery to lay claim as co-owers of the “child”? Events, the say, are significant when they are looked backed on. So is the history of Orient Petroleum Resources Plc. It was conceived during the administration of Dr. Chinwoke Mbadinuju in 2001. That is eleven years ago. It was allocated oilfields domiciled in Anambra. That again was not in dispute.

Though Mbadinuju’s administration reportedly made no direct financial contribution to the operation of the company, Dr. Chris Ngige government (2003-2006) did invest about N100 million in the project. It was Anambra money. But the company moved fast, so fast with trainloads of financial investment by the present administration of Mr. Peter Obi, with an astonishing investment of N4.4 bn. This changed the dynamics of Orient Petroleum and has bolstered investors’ confidence in the project.

And those who were asleep when the hard work was done have suddenly woken up to scramble for the harvest of the fruits they did not plant. Obi’s administration is fully aware that such huge financial stimulus could be avehicle for launching Orient Petroleum into a big continental player. It takes vision, competence and confidence to see the promise in future.

That, of course, triggered a broad and well-founded confidence that propelled other investors to invest in that venture that made its commissioning on August 30, by the President, a reality. From 2006, when Governor Obi visited the site of the refinery several times and laid the foundation, all these claimants were around, and they didn’t interfere until now that the drilling of oil is about to begin. None of the states now claiming ownership realized it was necessary to put at least a seed money into that venture.

The claims by Kogi and Enugu states are pure pernicious propaganda politics orchestrated to rubbish the handwork, sacrifices and investments of those behind Orient Petroleum. Do you reap where you did not sow? This is a difficult hole that these states laying claims to the orient oil fields have dug themselves into. In this country where politics has often been used more for bad rather than for good, don’t rule out the fac that these moves by Kogi and Enugu states, indeed any other states laying claims to the oilfields, they may be doing so as an alibi to foment trouble and cause socio-economic discontent. Don’t also rule out some mischief makers behind the sudden awaking by Kogi and Enugu States.

Behind the veil of this controversy lies the issue of resource control and a feeble attempt to diminish the good works of Peter Obi who is acting forcefully and boldly to realize the dream of the Orient refinery which is in line with the government’s agenda of job creation and the entrepreneur spirit which has reached a critical mass in Anambra state. Creative individuals are driving it.

These innovators are thriving in Anambra largely because they believe that businesses do offer scale, while good governance, good leadership are the engines that drive the citizen sector. Orient Petroleum typifies this spirit of the citizen sector which Anambra has proved over the years to have in abundance.

With an entepreneur as Obi at the helm in Anambra state, he knows what it takes in business terms to retool a firm and transform its supply chain. One does not see these claiminants dropping their agitation any time soon. But is makes sense that the relevant authorities responsible for making the decisions for such disputed issues to do so quickly with clarity of purpose so that Anambra and indeed, the promoters of Orient Petroleum can move on the next state of their plan, towards making Anambra an economic giant among oil producing states.

they are wasting their time them parasite in few months you will not hear a word any longer

TA ORJI IS A DISGRACE TO HUMANITY

Antivirus92: I am disappointed at both zubby77 and chino11. I am from anambra but chino why must you brag with anambra? Chino,we and our brothers(enugu,imo,abia,ebonyi) are equal.stop elevating us. We are all one and equal. Chino anambra is not different from other igbos. Zubby77,ofeke amaro mgbe ekelu nku ukwa! Why are you fighting anambra? Are you the only enugu man that have come across chino? Why did you decide to carry the cross alone? If you hate anambra, i am from there and i don't hate enugu. We are just here giving foreigners an avenue to mock us. Zubby don't you know that if history is to be traced accurately that directly or indirectly you may have blood relationship with chino? Or have forgotten that majority of igboland today are migrations of original igbo people from anambra axis?

i think zubby guy need to use his tongue and count his teeth...you talk well nice one

He asked me to pull off my panties but I did not answer and he forced
me and licked my private part while he slept with my friend and
defiled her too. He gave us N50... victim, a 12 years old girl (name
withheld) alleged .

The police in Ipaja-Ayobo area of Lagos State, southwestNigeria have
arrested a man who allegedly defiled eight children. He is now being
detained, awaiting arraignmentin court. The suspect, Mr. Temitope Alo
was arrested on Saturday at Koloba area of Ayobo after the children
allegedly confessed that he had raped them. The eight victims, whose
ages range from eight to 15 years were brought to the Lagos State
Ministry of Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, WAPA yesterday by
the Vice Chairman, Ipaja-Ayobo Local Council Development Area, LCDA,
Alhaja Falilat Ajijola to enable the state government to take over the
case.

The victim said he works for a newspaper company (name withheld) in
Lagos and allegedly lured the childrento his apartment where he
defiled them and threatenedto kill them if they reported the matter.
Tests conducted on the eight children at the Ayobo-Ipaja Primary
Health Centre, PHC, showed that the children had been defiled.A top
official of the WAPA Ministry told P.M.NEWS that the ministry had been
handling rape cases but they had never recorded a case where a man
serially raped eight children.

The news of the rape caused a stir at the WAPA ministry as the staff
rained curses on the alleged rapist.

According to the Ayobo-Ipaja LCDA Vice Chairman, Ajijola, last week a
case of rape was reported to the Neighbourhood Watch office at the
council but when enquiries were made, the traditional ruler of Koloba
was said to have denied that such a thing happened in his area.

She said a few days later, the former council chairman ofAyobo-Ipaja,
Bisi Yusuf reported that the incident actually happened and that
further investigation traced the rape case to the culprit, who was
promptly arrested.Ajijola added that the traditional ruler, Chief
Babayanju, later opened up and admitted that the story was true, while
eight children came forward to report that they were allegedly raped
by Alo.

The vice chairman said the children were taken to the PHC in the area
where tests were conducted on them and it was confirmed that the
children had been defiled. Two children of a community leader in the
area were among the victims. Chairman, Ayobo-Ipaja LCDA, Alhaji
Shakiru Adisa Yusuf said he was shocked when he heard the story,
adding that such a person is worse than an animal.

"I was shocked because I am also a parent. Why must he go after
innocent children? Such people should not live in this community," he
said, adding that the council would pursue the case to ensure that
justice was done.

"We will collect the tests conducted on the children and hand them
over to the state government. We will pursue the case to a logical
conclusion. This man has brought disgrace to this community, " he
said.

Acting Director, Child Development, WAPA Ministry, Mrs Mosunmola Dada
said the issue was disgusting, adding that such a man must be a
paedophile and vowed that the government would ensure that he was
prosecuted. "We have evidences against him. The Ayobo-Ipaja LCDA has a
medical report on this case. We will monitor and follow up this case,"
she said.

The suspect, in his statement at the Ayobo Police Station, was said to
have admitted that he raped some children, but that he only raped four
and not eight. P.M.NEWS could not get to him as he was in custody of
the police, while the Divisional Police Officer, DPO of the station
was not around for comments. One of the victims, an eight years old
girl (name withheld) told P.M.NEWS that the suspect told them to help
him arrange newspapers in his apartment, adding that, "after that, he
told us to go into the next room.

"He asked us to remove our panties and I asked him what he wanted to
do to us. He laid me on the bed and defiled me four times. He covered
our mouths with white handkerchief and threatened to kill us if we
report," she said.Another victim, a 12 years old girl (name withheld)
alleged that the suspect "licked my private part. He called me and my
friend in. He asked meto bring N100 fufu for him, which I brought.
While I was waiting for the money with my friend, he asked my friend
whether she could keep a secret.

ossagy: This ZUBBY of a guy must be dying of complex, he needs our collective help to rescue him. Am from Edo state working in SABMILLER in Onitsha, if there is any part of Igbo land or Igbo people I love and admire it is Anambra people. I just wish my Edo people are like Anambra people. They are so hardworking and hospitable people, they work for any money they earn. Even my coleagues in SABMILLER from Anambra are such a nice people. Like somebody rightly said, Anambra people are good at whatever they do...

Below is a picture I took at the famous Onitsha Main Market. From the picture one can see that it is a world class massive market with television sets and ceiling fans adorning various lines. Haven't seen such organized and landscaped market elsewhere, a market that is paved all round without any mud. I took this picture last weekend, I was in the market to do some shopping. I have not been to Onitsha main market, but on getting there I saw young men and women gainfully employed in their respective business. Everybody is so busy, that there no time to gossip.

see lines of business this is the famous main market see how organised the place-look, If U WALK straight from that line you will connect to bureau Da change section their is no way you can cover the whole market in one day is impossible....
