The summit with the theme Creating a Sustainable Africa Through Active Leadership was organised by the Ultimate Destiny Uplifters Foundation (UDUF) Africa, a non-governmental organisation established to mentor young entrepreneurs and leaders.

Speaking at the event held at Federal Housing Estate Onitsha over the weekend, the former Transcorp boss, Mr Valentine Ozigbo emphasized on emotional intelligence as the key to success in every human endeavor.

Ozigbo also charged the organisers and other participants, mostly the youths, to be passionate about their endeavours noting that passion and striving for excellence are necessary ingredients for achieving success.

Sharing his personal life story, Dr Ikenna Ifejiofor, Managing Director of Ike God foods Industries Ltd, (Makers of Jolly-jolly Noodles) maintained that mindset was everything a leader needed to move from one point to the other.

Earlier, in his address, the founding president of Ultimate Destiny Uplifters Foundation (UDUF) Africa, Mr Smart Chinedu Ezuma, said the summit is one of the ways the Foundation stand to contribute to balancing the disparity in the leadership situation in Africa

According to him, everything rises and falls under leadership. If we can make corrections to our leadership mindset now that we are young, I believe that the future of Africa will be great.

He noted that any person under the age of 45 is highly favoured, lucky, and blessed, whether male or female because he or she is at the peak of performance season, which I call the afternoon session of life.

It is a good time to create and re-create your life. It’s not a time to follow shadows, build your life in the air, or have empty dreams. It’s a time to be intentional and catch up with destiny.

*From the age of 18 to 45, if you haven’t gotten clear on your purpose and destiny and made the necessary contribution towards achieving your purpose or reaching your destiny, it suffices to say you pass as a fool.

While confirming to be true the saying that a fool at 40 is a fool forever, Mr Ezuma urged Nigerian youths to be innovative and intentional about their future.

High point of the summit was business pitching by selected entrepreneurs,where three of the entrepreneurs won the business pitching competition and won 1 million naira each to boost their businesses.

Revealed: How Soludo begged Ifeanyi Ubah to Praise Him before ndi Anambra at Abuja Town hall meeting

Revealed: How Soludo begged Ifeanyi Ubah to Praise Him before ndi Anambra at Abuja Town hall meeting


The APC new media has revealed how the Governor of Anambra State ,Professor Chukwuma Soludo engaged an Anambra billionaire to plead with Senator Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah to put in good words for him before Anambra people at his town hall Meeting in Abuja.


This was revealed by APC new media in a new article.

According to the new media office:

"Do you remember how you organised a town hall meeting in Lagos State, to purportedly raise money for security equipments after your initial declaration that sit-at-home had ended, upon your assumption of office. We remember how your declaration triggered even greater insecurity, forcing the State into more severe sit-at-home.

"Then, you ran to Lagos State like a frienghtened dog with it's tail between its legs, to beg for funds from Ndi Anambra resident in Lagos despite the fact that you take N2 billon Naira every month as security vote. In addition to this, you keep and spend at will hundreds of millions of Naira, allocated to the 21 local governments in the State. This is the major reason you have renegaded on your own promise to conduct local government election in Anambra in your first six months. Today, your self appointed local government council members have been in office for over one full year. The tragedy is that the Anambra State Independent Electoral Commission -ANSIEC, has not been constituted by you and there is no hope that you will soon constitute them so they can conduct the local government election. Is the APC or Distinguished Sen. Ifeanyi Ubah, the reason you have deliberately failed to keep your own promise?

"Dear Professor, can you recall that while you were begging for funds in Lagos , the Senator Representing Anambra South Senatorial District immediately set to work like a real man and used his personal funds to purchase security equipments ( CCTV cameras, walkie-talkies, drones, vehicles, motor cycles etc.) worth over 500 Million Naira, which he used to build a security architecture that pushed back the insecurity in Anambra South Senatorial. At a time when the senatorial zone was the epicenter of the insecurity in the state, as a result of its shared borders with Imo and Abia States.

"Seeing how the Lagos town hall meeting flopped while your funny call on Ndi Anambra to bring home, their businesses got roundly ignored and laughed at, it is understandable why you are grappling with straws, leaving substances unattended.

"Having received intelligence report that the Abuja townhall will also be ignored, we have it on good authority that you reached out to Senator Ifeanyi Ubah through a prominent Anambra man who is a major player in the electricity sector(seen standing beside the Senator in the video), and begged him to assist in hyping the governor before Ndi Anambra resident in Abuja that will attend the event. You begged Senator Ifeanyi Ubah to also convince the other senators from Anambra Central and North, who reluctantly attended at the comradeship prodding of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah.

"We have it on good authority also that Ifeanyi Ubah gladly granted your request to put in good words for you before Ndi Anambra. You voluntarily acknowledged Senator Ifeanyi Ubah’s security concept all over the state with the funds raised from the townhall event as well as Improve on your general performance since assumption of office.

"Ifeanyi Ubah was not the only person that was willing to give you the benefit of doubt to succeed; many Ndi Anambra were also on this table, given that you had served in the past as a former one term CBN governor and being a professor of economics, it was just not thinkable that your failure can be this loud and all encompassing.

"Dear Professor Suo-lum Oyibo, To date, you have yet to purchase a single pin as security equipment or vehicle as you promised.

"You are yet to commission one completed road project in almost two years in office.

"You are yet to do anything in Okpoko as promised.

You are yet to conduct local government elections and merely hands TC chairmen meagre sums from the over 100 million naira a month that is meant to go to each local government, from federal allocation.

Since you entered office, we have daily been regaled with stories of brutalization by thugs collecting revenue for you, as well as in-fighting amongst the two top officers in the revenue house accusing each other and your inlaw of corruption and feeding on the sweat of Ndi Anambra whose expectations that you are a messiah have been thoroughly dashed.

"Today the trending question at every gathering in Anambra presently has become, who will succeed Soludo?

"Our dear Anambra is now a state where the commissioner for finance resigns out of frustration. Anambra is now a State where stories of your Commissioners begging for alms on the streets of Awka abound while you take N2 billion Naira as security vote every month and personally handle the execution of shoddy road contracts by proxy using your in-law and a few others. You have completely captured the finance sector of Anambra State with both Commissioner for finance and the Accountant General as your brothers.

"That is why road contracts in Anambra are mostly done by little known companies like Uwakwe and sons Ltd, while Abia in less than six months, is using a frontline construction company Julius Berger.

"Dear Prof, there are even reports of quarterly allocation of 600 million to the office of your first daughter for her fashion shows from the state government coffers.

"Is this part of why the former commissioner of finance was not allowed to handle his financial duties and he had to resign in frustration?

"We are also aware that you have commenced building a befitting Government House at Isuofia, with tax payers’ money.

"Was this part of your electoral promises to ndi Anambra?

"You are yet to give account of the monies so far donated by a few to the state security trustfund so as to encourage the numerous other sons and daughters of the state to donate too.

"Recall that Senator Ifeanyi Ubah organised the same Anambra sons and daughters, and they willingly donated over half a billion Naira and built hospitals at Awka and Nnewi, for Ndi Anambra during the Convid-19 Pandemic. Dear Prof, as I am sure you are aware, everything was done transparently and took barely six months.

"You have 2 weeks to publish the names of those who donated to the state security trust fund and what you intend to use the funds for.

"Governor Mbah of Enugu didn't need fundraising to buy helicopters, security vehicles, and the rest for the state. He used his security vote, and it is not up to the N2 billion Naira monthly that you pay yourself.

"Those Anambra sons that gave you the benefit of the doubt and made donations to your security trust fund, are still waiting to see one tangible thing that the state government will do with the funds.

"They have only seen you insult late Prof. Dora Akunyili, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, Mr. Peter Obi, Chief Obiora Okonkwo of United Nigeria Airlines, GUO Motors and recently Senator Ubah since he joined the APC and set off panic alarms in your APGA cum Atiku's PDP camp.

"Ndi Anambra love and trust Senator Dr Ifeanyi Ubah CON. We shall be demanding an open apology from him, if you do not keep your own end of the bargain and start working for the state as you promised him.

"Setting up propaganda units and shamelessly campaigning for second term so early in your first tenure despite your "start and quench" clueless governance style, so far, will not deter or hoodwink Ndi Anambra from seeing through your charade.

"The million dollar question that begs for answers is; if you are doling well , will you need to trend a video of where Senator Dr Ifeanyi Ubah, CON, is speaking good of you?

"Is your Atiku/PDP mask of an APGA government doing enough to reassure the people that you know what you are doing or you are busy exchanging banters with the real lovers and stakeholders of the State in clear exhibition of your cluelessness?"

Moment Ex-Governor Obiano's Wife Was Seen Trying to Pacify Man Who Refused To Shake Hands with Husband


Ebele Obiano, the wife of former Governor of Anambra State, was captured on video trying to pacify businessman, Chief Okey Ezeibe who disgraced her husband in an event by refusing to have a handshake with him. The incident took place at an event in Houston, Texas, where Ezeibe refused to shake hands with the former governor.

In the viral video, Ebele Obiano can be seen jokingly holding onto Okey Ezeibe, attempting to pacify him and begging him to forgive her husband. Ezeibe makes it clear that his issue is solely with Former Governor Willie Obiano, and not with Ebele Obiano herself.

This encounter occurred at the same event where Okey Ezeibe declined to shake hands with Willie Obiano. Anambra People Magazine previously reported on the incident, which took place in Houston, Texas.

There have been several speculations regarding Ezeibe's refusal to shake hands with Obiano. Some believe it may be due to unresolved business matters, while others think it could be related to Obiano's treatment of his predecessor, Mr. Peter Obi, who happens to be a friend of Okey Ezeibe.

Soludo Finally Demolishes Olulu Eke Deity in Ekwulobia(Video)

The Anambra State Government has successfully demolished the popular "Olulu Eke Deity" in Ekwulobia in order to make way for the construction of a flyover at the town's roundabout. This comes after Governor Soludo had previously threatened to remove the deity, which was met with resistance from worshippers.

The Udo Olulu Eke deity holds significant reverence among worshippers in Ekwulobia and the surrounding area of Aguata. Even the Chief priest of Udo Olulu Eke Ekwulobia, known as Okenye (the Ancient One), had challenged the government's intentions. Okenye argued that if Governor Soludo believed the government owned the site of Udo Olulu Eke in Ekwulobia, then he should attempt to destroy or remove it without following due process. He emphasized the potential repercussions that the forceful demolition may have and disclosed that he was merely delivering a message as instructed.

From the viral video of the demolition, the driver of the caterpillar operating the machinery was seen dropping a kola nut on the ground as a sign of respect to the deity before he could proceed.

The demolition of the Olulu Eke Deity was executed as part of the government's development plan to facilitate the construction of Ekwulobia flyover. While the plan is viewed as beneficial for the town, Governor Soludo has faced opposition and warnings about the potential consequences of removing the deity.

How to Replace You is Now A Major Point of Discussion Among Anambrarians, Ifeanyi Ubah Hits Back at Soludo.

Senator representing Anambra South in the Nigerian Senate, Ifeanyi Ubah has hit back at Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo for using what he described as his "attack dog" in running a smear campaign against his person and equally insulting his Nnewi constituents.

Recall that Chinedu Obigwe, founder of APGA media warriors,had recently, reacting to a write up where Senator Ifeanyi Ubah boosted it was the turn of ndi Nnewi to govern Anambra State addressed the Senator in a condescending manner.

Speaking through his media aide ,Chuks Kamen, Senator Ubah describes Soludo's leadership in the State as lackluster and noted that Anambrarians have started discussions on Soludo's replacement just 2 years in to his administration.

In a statement released by Chuks kamen,He wrote:


"My attention has been drawn to the above-captioned tirade from a notorious media attack dog on the payroll of Professor Chukwuma Soludo’s government, by the name Chinedu Obigwe, alias Akpaekpuchionwa, whose penchant for running smear campaigns on eminent personalities and stakeholders in the state, on the orders of the State Governor is well-known and well documented on this media space.

"It is worthy to note that this unprovoked state government-sponsored media attack on the distinguished senator of the Federal Republic as well as the entire members of his community, Nnewi, is purportedly in response to a little-known blog’s news item that neither emanated from the Senator nor from his media office.



"It is also worth noting at this juncture that this is the third state-sponsored media attack on prominent citizens of Anambra in the last few weeks, the first being the media attack on Chief Obiora Okonkwo, the CEO of United Nigeria Airlines.

"This was closely followed by another series of state-sponsored social media attacks on the Chief Executive Officer of G.U.O Transport, Chief Dr. (Sir) Godwin Ubaka Okeke, MON, whose only sin was his demand that his company driver who was thoroughly beaten and dehumanised by state government thugs be given fair treatment and compensated.

"One may ask, why request prayers for Governor Soludo?

"It has become a thing of great concern to every reasonable Anambrarian that our dear Professor and one term Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) cannot point to one completed road project almost two years into his tenure and neither has he made any tangible attempt to curb the growing disenchantment with his governance style by introducing any groundbreaking reform(s) nor has he made any concrete effort aimed at changing the existential quagmire that Anambra represents which renders the popular question by a former Governor of the State, Mr Peter Obi, still relevant and unanswered till date.

"Is Anambra cursed, or are we the cause?

"Secondly, Professor Soludo is a governor who came into office riding on the back of huge expectations from Ndi Anambra and Nigerians in general but the question is, has that transformed into any tangible results and which one of his electoral promises has he fulfilled almost two years into his tenure including the promise of conducting local government elections within six months of swearing in.

"Of course, the answer is NON.

:Is this a case of “onye agholili, ka agbalu”? (A deliberate hoodwink on Ndi Anambra.)

"Prof Chukwuma Charles Soludo must have realised that he currently holds the record of being the first democratically elected Governor of Anambra whose would-be successor is already being actively discussed in almost every gathering in Anambra less than two years into his tenure which is the clearest exhibition that the people are already in search of a replacement having realised their error so soon in the day.

"But is this reason enough for the state government to prefer running smear campaigns on the towering personality of the Distinguished Senator representing Anambra South Senatorial District, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Ubah, CON, when he can easily opt to adapt his widely acclaimed security solution in Nnewi, apply it to the entire state and take the accolades.

"It is probably when the efficacy of the solicited prayers start working that it will finally dawn on the Erudite Professor (who believes he knows it all) that retaining and paying for the services of media attack dogs with government funds is a pure case of the Professor fiddling while his Rome burns.

"Please spare a moment of prayer for Professor Chukwuma Soludo, the former one-term governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria".

A Must Read: How Ebonyi State Government Is Oppressing Me, Because Am From Anambra – Man cries Out

By: Aka Jean-Philips Ifeanyi

Fellow Nigerians. I want to specially appreciate God the Most High for the grace of life and health. I pray that God restore health to the sick and help our leaders to look in the direction of fixing this country. I also want to salute the good work of Ebonyi State Governor, Rt. Hon. Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru for the good work he is doing in Ebonyi State. He is the most mentioned Governor as regards his good start.

My name is Aka Jean-Philips Ifeanyi, from Anambra State and am the CEO of AKAJEAN & COMPANY/BN: 2018666. On August 2022, My Company had an Agreement with Ebonyi State Government to Supply and Install 200Kw (276HP) EBARA FIRE PUMP PACK (Electric, Diesel and Jockey), 2-SETS at Ebonyi State International Airport Onueke. The total Contract sum is Sixty-Eight Million, Eight Hundred Thousand Naira only and that the payment was to be made in parts which is 70% of the contract sum shall be released for the mobilization, 15% shall be released upon supply of the equipment to site and the final 15% shall be released upon the installation and Testing of the Fire Pumps Sets. And I was given five (5) weeks to deliver.

As someone who wants to establish a working relationship with the Government of Ebonyi State, I went to Bank and took loan so as to be able to deliver the Job. I contacted my partners in Turkey and begged to accept part payment from me and Freight the necessary equipments required to produce a quality Fire Pumps and they accepted.

I have supplied the pumps and was paid the 85% which was for the mobilization and supply to site. I have also Installed with Steel Pipes works fabrications and we have Tested the Pump Sets and confirmed that it is performing optimally, with attestation letter requested by the government for my final payment approval.

The Government of Ebonyi State under the Former Governor His Excellency Sen David Nweze Umahi has APPROVED my Final Payments in May and has asked the Accountant General to pay me. Ever since then, they have refused to effect the payment and I have written to them on several occasions and have made huge financial commitment to realize that money. I have been to Ebonyi on right ( different occasions from Lagos and on the invitation of the various Government functionaries ranging from Commissioners, SAs, PA and others. I have stayed in a hotel in Ebonyi for 42 days just to make sure that the government pay me this money but to no avail.

The most worrisome thing about this is that the bank I took loan from has clamped down on my business. I don’t have money again to finance the new jobs which I got and things are not funny on my side. None of them at the government house is picking my calls again.

One of those days I was staying in Ebonyi State, one of my guy came and told me in confidence that I should leave the state. That my continued disturbance of the state government over my money may cost me my life. I quickly took to my heel.

All I beg Nigerians is to come to my aide and assist me in begging the Ebonyi State Government to pay me my money so that I can pay back the loan I took from bank even if I did not make anything from the job.

All the documents needed to prove and support every of my claims are with available.

All my efforts to get my payment failed.

Lightning strikes 9 students playing football in Anambra, kills 3



Lightning has killed three Senior Secondary School (SS3) students in Awka South Local Government Area of Anambra.

The incident happened on Saturday.

An eye witness told our correspondent that the lightning struck nine male students who were playing football with their peers on the school pitch barefooted.

“The students were practicing on the football pitch with their coach preparatory to a football tournament.

“The coach had ended the training session before rain started, but some of the students stayed behind to continue playing football.

“Lightning, accompanied by claps of thunderstorm suddenly enveloped the area and the boys were struck in the process.

“A teacher heard the students screaming and running. He ran to the field and saw at least nine students trembling and jerking on the turf.

“That was when he raised the alarm and people gathered to help. The boys were immediately rushed to the school clinic, from where they were taken to hospital in Awka.

“Six of the nine boys were resuscitated and are currently receiving treatment, but three did not survive. Their parents have been contacted,’’ the witness told NAN.

A resident, Mrs Hope Egwu, told our correspondent that news of the accident went round on Sunday and everyone had been held spellbound.


At the hospital in Awka, parents and sympathisers trooped into the ward where the survivors were receiving treatment.

A doctor, who requested anonymity, told our correspondent that three out of the nine boys were brought into the hospital dead, but six others were revived.

“As of now, parents of two of the dead boys have taken the corpses away, while one is still in the mortuary.

“It is sad that they were playing on the field barefooted. If they had boots on, the impact of the lightning would probably have been minimised,’’ he said.


When contacted, police spokesman in Anambra, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, said the incident had not been reported to the police.

Speaking on the incident, Prof. Chukwudi Okani, Consultant Pathologist at the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Awka, said it was a natural disaster and not spiritual.

Okani said lightning could kill by electrocution through direct strike, side splash or ground current strike.

He advised that people should install thunder arrestors in their buildings to stave off electrical current in the event of lightning.
