Cool

It was all cheers at the Decoration Ceremony of newly promoted police officers, most especially the Chief Security Officer to Nigeria’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Bianca Ojukwu.

The Minister was given the honour of decorating the officer DSP Henry Okolongwu with the emblem of his new rank.
It was a ceremony witnessed by many of his colleagues, family members and an impressive turnout of youth.
DSP Henry Okolongwu is noted as one of many police personnel who is very popular with the youth and who in the discharge of duties helps to improve the image of the Force by giving it a more human face.

Speaking after the investiture, Mrs Ojukwu stated, ‘it is heartwarming to note that there exists within the NPF, a new breed of police personnel who are dynamic, professional, charismatic, youth oriented, familiar with the challenges that Nigeria's youthful population encounter with law enforcement on a daily basis, and determined to make a difference. I wish him God's guidance and a promising future’

The Nigeria Police Force in its new strategy has embarked on a recruitment drive of young officers who are committed to service delivery, hoping to clean up its perceived image of corrupt practices and uncommitted officers who more often than not, victimize those who they are employed to protect.

Reducing this to a fistfight will not solve the problem

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC) has opened the case at the Federal High Court , Abuja against the former governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano who is accused of Money Laundering and looting of state funds.

Obiano appeared at the trial , a lone figure, devoid of the usual retinue of Aides , security details and hangers on that surrounded him when in office. He was looking faded, and a tragic shadow of his usual flamboyant self.

Conspicuously absent was his wife Ebelechukwu, former First Lady of Anambra state who has not made any public appearances in the state following the now famous send forth slap which was dished to her by widow of Biafra leader and Nigeria Ambassador to Spain, Bianca Ojukwu, at the Swearing in Ceremony of Governor Charles Soludo at the Anambra State House on 17 th March 2022.

To make matters worse, the former First Lady suffered what was considered a disgraceful failure at the polls, coming a distant fourth when she contested for the senatorial elections to represent her zone at the red chambers .

It is alleged that a whopping 1 billion Naira was committed to her senatorial campaign by her husband, the former governor, and despite the fact that the state was under APGA control, the campaign suffered setbacks as Mrs Obiano was frequently booed and became object of caricature each time she visited the local markets in the state to campaign.

It is also alleged that she has vowed never to return to the state following the slap saga and her electoral defeat, even shunning the recent funeral of her favorite sister in law Ms Elizabeth Obiano and unlike other former First Ladies of the state, continues to shun any distinguished or public ceremonies in the state.

She has since embarked on self imposed exile in America, where she has found succor in the shopping malls in Houston, Texas where she is frequently spotted whiling away the hours of the day while her husband Willie Obiano has been abandoned to face the EFCC music on his own.
She is alleged to have been a beneficiary of at least 3 billion Naira of state funds which were also lodged into various proxy accounts both in Nigeria and the USA.

Obiano is facing nine counts of charges brought against him by the EFCC wherein he is charged with stealing Anambra State security votes in excess of 4 billion during his tenure as Governor of the state between March 2014 and March 2022.

Shameless man

Omoluabi16:
I really don't think Bianca is being fair here.

People should talk what they know.
We have been following this case in the newspapers since it went to court many years ago.
Ojukwu wrote a will and made Bianca one of the Will Executors

Bianca is not the one that sued.

One of Ojukwu’s son who was born out of wedlock was the one who took Bianca to court to challenge Ojukwu’s will

How can you talk nonsense about Bianca not being fair.
Ojukwu distributed his properties to all his children in the will. Verifiable. The Will is a public document
This particular son who went to court to challenge the Will was not even mentioned in the Will
Ojukwu even recognized a daughter he had in Kaduna in his will

Bianca was sued together with other executors of the Will
The court ruled that the Will was valid

What is unfair here?

Dem days.
No be like today, buy me Iphone, sponsor my birthday

The final report of the Anambra Truth, Peace and Justice Commission, established by Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo to investigate the remote and immediate causes of insecurity in Anambra state and by extension, the South East region has been submitted in a public presentation.

At the event held at Government House Awka, Governor Soludo commended the Commission's chairman, Prof. Chidi Odinkalu, Secretary Ambassador Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu and members of the Commission for their painstaking work, their commitment and the "historic" nature of the report.

The Governor highlighted the report's potential to serve as a national framework for addressing security challenges.

Governor Soludo expressed concern about the impact of crime and violence on young people, calling their deaths an unnecessary waste when their camps are invaded to flush them out.

He pledged swift action based on the Commission's recommendations, outlining plans to dissolve his cabinet into sub-committes in analyzing and implementing the recommendations.

The Governor emphasized the need for collaboration with federal agencies, regional governments, security services including the State Vigilante Group, and the local communities, stating his plans to share the report with national security agencies and work with neighboring states to address the cross-border nature of criminal activities.

The Governor reiterated his commitment to achieving sustainable peace in the region, assuring citizens that he will "read every sentence" in the report and ensure its recommendations are implemented for a safer future.

He stressed the importance of community involvement, including religious institutions, in tackling the challenges, describing the necessary approach as a "crusade" requiring collective action.

Earlier, Chairman of the Commission, Professor Odinkalu, thanked the Governor, and Commission partners, UNDP for entrusting them with the task.

Professor Odinkalu who was the former Executive Secretary, National Human Rights Commission, noted that the biggest structural factor in violence in communities is the political economy of land and that whilst separatist agitation is a potent issue, the IPOB/ESN narrative as the major factor is not an accurate analysis.

He argued that while Lagos is gaining land, Anambra is losing land due to ecological pressure, crises in leadership, and impunity.

"The Commission surveyed 66 communities in the state, documenting cases of traditional rulers, security agents, presidents-general (PGs), and community members who have disappeared and remain missing".

Professor Odinkalu however, emphasized the need to end the use of the term "unknown gunmen," especially by the media, develop a 25-year security strategy to reform community governance and establish an agency for the protection of victims and accountability for violence.

This guy is an attention seeker

What manner of desperation and iberiberism is this? If u must justify ur pay use something else to describe ur pay master. You can equate your pay master with mbadinuju. Don't ever make the mistake of putting ifeanyi Uba and Dim odimegwu ojukwu in the same sentence again.

Imagine comparing a slug to a panther.

festacman:
Go on with your a*se-licking for money but please leave late Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu out of your pathetic economic adventure.
Do well to respect the memory and personality of our war hero.
Thank you for anticipated understanding.

Don’t mind these charlatans.
Ifeanyi Ubah is a fraudster and political pr0stitute

The whole Nigeria knows that FFK is impotent and no fit chop anything, His equipment no dey work.

The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has issued a last warning to Arise Television over the use of derogatory and incendiary remarks on its station.
The warning was contained in a letter by the Commission’s Director General, Dr Balarabe Shehu Ilelah on October 6, 2023.

The letter, which was sighted by The Nation, urged the TV station to have a delay mechanism to guard against undesirable contents.

The letter, which was addressed to the Chief Executive Officer, Arise Global Media Limited, also urged the TV station to keep to its responsibility of keeping its guest on check.

The letter titled: “Preponderance of derogatory and incendiary remarks: final warning” reads in part: “The NBC has observed with concern preponderance of incendiary remarks allowed on Arise news.

“This letter seeks to underscore the tremendous responsibility put on the broadcaster to manage the array of guest that may feature on the station from time to time.

“The commission listed the station’s morning show programme on 5th October anchored by Reuben Abati, Rufai Oseni and Ayo Maio-Ese, which featured Oladokun Hassan and Dele Farotimi as guests. The programme contained unguarded incendiary remarks by Dele Farotimi against the Legislature and the Executive, the Judiciary and Mr. President.

“The station was also accused of not keeping to its responsibility while airing its programme ” Newsday” which featured Kenneth Okonkwo, (Spokesperson of Labour Party) who used derogatory remarks on air.

Abia s should pray dat he should be better than this useless drunkard who rule Anambra for 8 drinking years straight

There is something fishy going on in EFCC office in that city

They don’t do anything except to be arresting young guys with laptop on hotels all in the name of internet fraudster


They should be busy with arresting all this corrupt governors and public officials but instead they are arresting petty keyboard players in the name of internet fraudster.

If you check the news about EFCC action in Enugu, all you see is that they are arresting yahoo boys

Isn’t there any other more serious crime in that place instead of this petty pickpocket round up?

BALLOSKI:
He's even dressed like a G. Where's that his wife slapped by Bianca Ojukwu?


They love good life, but won't allow Nigeria to develop.

Useless man

Ok

yabatown:

This is false.

Both men, Soludo and Muoghalu are unpopular with the igbos , especially in Anambra state for never empowering their people during their tenures in the CBN but just amassing wealth for themselves.

That is why they can never get any support of the people but moving from party to party until Obiano dash Soludo governorship in Anambra with heavy vote buying during the election otherwise no Jupiter can make him win that election due to his unpopularity

For some reason this Moghalu is not liked by many people . Now is clear the reason

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!

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.

Lies .
I came into Enugu from Anambra State and round the city and it was like a Ghost town

South East governors need to do more to curb this trend. It’s draining the economy in the East.

Justice Innocent Umezurike was one of the most corrupt judges in South East. He was notorious in Enugu State for selling judgements to the highest bidder.
He was the one who was arrested by EFCC and billions of money in his account discovered and frozen before he died.

This country can never change. Always trying to whitewash rogues and looters. This man’s legacy is worsening judicial corruption, period.

THIS IS STAGED. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. SEE AS SHE DEY CRY, NO TEARS IN HER EYES.
PEOPLE WILL DO ANYTHING TO TREND.

This man is just copycat of Soludo.

From bogus Transition committee to 5000 teacher recruitment.. soon he will be looking for slum to advertise that he is cleaning up.

Igbo governors with no vision of their own.

Is true. He is worst governor in the history of Anambra.

maruzia:
What a pitiful sight. Power is transient. He is now alone and abandoned by all the people that use to troop round him and even those seeking appointment to meet him. Obiano is now a lonely figure and grateful for any visitor he can receive. I bet that traditional ruler never get such opportunity to be granted audience by Obiano when he was governor.

Now Obiano don turn to book vendor

Meanwhile, is this book below that he supposed to be selling

Power is temporary. Sooner this politicians realise this, the better,

DRUNKARD GOVERNOR AND AGBERO WIFE
