The Governor of Anambra State Chief Willie Obiano
has assured the United Anambra Youths Assembly
(U-AYA) that his administration is commitment
towards the accelerated development of the state
and creation of up to 15,000 job opportunities.
The job opportunities include 10,000 from the state
rice project and another 5000 from a four-star hotel
facility said to be first of its kind in the South-East
zone which he said would engage the youths whom
he described as the active segment of the popu­
lation. Governor Obiano stated this while receiving
the youths who converged at the Government
House Awka yesterday to congratulate him on his
latest victory at the Supreme Court which laid to
rest all disputes concerning his victory in the
gubernatorial election of November 2013 and
declaration as the duly elected governor of Anambra
State.
The governor who was represented by Hon
Commissioner for Youths and Sports, Ogbuefi Tony
Nnacheta, thanked the coalition of Youth groups
from all the wards across Anambra State for coming
to congratulate him and reiterated his resolve to
engage most of them in productive ventures.
According to Governor Obiano, “the series of MoU’s
we signed last including that with Joseph Agro
Limited valued at 150 million US Dollars will ac­
celerate our pace towards self-sufficiency in rice
production. The project has production capacity of
over 100,000 metric tonnes and would employ over
10,000 youths and the milling sector would equally
employ a sizeable number of people.”
I have no doubt that most of you would play active
role in our mechanized agricultural programme
which will also involve Out-Growers Scheme
through the farmers’ Cooperative Societies and
offers viable structure for empowerment. Governor
Obiano reassured.
Earlier, the Coalition of Youths groups led by Special
Assistant to the Governor on youth Mobilization,
Hon Chinedu Obidigbo, told the governor that they
came to congratulate him on his victory at the
courts and to share in his joy, as well as assured
him of their unalloyed support and loyalty in the
quest to make Anambra State safe and secure.
Other youth leaders of APGA also promised
governor Obiano that the party would emerge
victorious with the massive support of U-AYA in
future elections especially the Legislative elections
expected to hold in the state next year.
Last week Anambra State signed the MoU for the
State Rice Production Scheme signed between the
State government and a multi-national agricultural
Company, Joseph Agro Limited at Omor, Ayamelum
Local Government Area ais valued at 150 million US
Dollars while the agreement for a four-Star Hotel
named Raddison Blue both valued at 220 US Dollars
was signed between the State government and a
Real Estate and Entertainment giant, Cardinal De­
veloper and Trust Limited.

To help restore and broaden the state’s Omor Rice
Mill via a Public-Private Partnership agreement,
Joseph Agro Industries Limited (JAI) has signed a
backward Integration Memorandum of
Understanding along with the Anambra State
Government to invest an initial $150 million
(N25billion) towards the project.
The Executive Director of JAI, Ken Irhiogbe, said in a
statement yesterday that China Machinery
Equipment Corporation (CMEC), a leading global EPC
provider, has been appointed technical partners to
support in up-scaling the mill’s current capacity of
18,000 metric tonnes to an initial 100,000 metric
tonnes, development of 14000 hectares of land into
irrigated paddy fields and construction of a green
energy bio mass power plant in Omor using rice husk
as feedstock.
As part of its long-term strategic objective to ensure
sustainability through technology transfer, the
company will collaborate with the Confucius
Institute, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka to
produce Chinese speaking Nigerian students to
understudy best rice technology practice.
Explaining further he highlighted that JAI’s objective
is to produce 167,000 metric tonnes of rice paddies
using 2 cropping seasons while another 15,000
hectares is under negotiation, for development into
highly irrigated rice paddy fields
The Governor of the state, Willie Obiano commended
JAI for its support of the State Government’s cardinal
points and objectives for agriculture and also in the
process providing job opportunities for over 10,000
indigenes by using the out growers scheme.
This development, according to the Governor will
greatly enhance the economic development of the
State and Nigeria.
He emphasized that with the progress already made
by the State in rice production, this project will
almost eliminate the state’s supply deficit.
Obiano observed that the completion of the project
will translate to accelerated development of human
and technical capacity which will in turn enhance rice
production in the State.
He also noted that with the project coming on-
stream, it will have direct impact on the growth of
internally generated revenue for the State.

Translated by Juan Mata for Angel Di Maria.

easyoooo

After three subdued performances, the visit of QPR
at Old Trafford was supposed to be the start of a
new era, the real beginning after the Louis Van
Gaal revolution and United didn’t disappoint.
The West Londoners might not be a force to be
reckoned with – in fact they were abysmal for large
spells of the game – but it was a refreshing change
to see United finally take control of a game and
play with confidence and intent. Here’s five things
we’ve learnt from Sunday…
1) I love an Angel instead
There’s simply nowhere or nobody else to start
from. Since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo
United have been crying for a player who could fill
the number 7 shirt as the club’s tradition requires.
Two games into his Manchester United career and
there can be little doubt that Angel Di Maria is on
the right track. While the Argentine had
sporadically flickered away at Burnley two weeks
ago, his flame burnt throughout his home debut, as
he ran the show from midfield, a luxury United had
not been able to afford for years.
The opening goal might have been aided by a slice
of luck but the run that led to United’s second had
nothing to do with fortune, rather with the
outstanding ability of a player that Real Madrid will
regret selling. United might still lack a dominant
central midfielder and Di Maria might be a winger
by trade but he looked incredibly at ease in Louis
Van Gaal’s diamond, driving the ball forward from
deep and linking superbly with his teammates, a
sight that Old Trafford had grown unused to since
the Paul Scholes’ heydays.
Di Maria and Scholesy are two completely different
players but the Argentine could become as crucial
a figure for this side as Scholes was for Fergie’s
team.
2) Diamonds are forever
After three underwhelming experiments with a
three-man defence, Van Gaal switched to a more
traditional flat back four, with Marcos Rojo finally
available after he was granted his work permit,
while Rafael returned from injury.
United looked incredibly more at ease with Rojo
and Jonny Evans in the middle of the back four,
though QPR provided little threat to United’s
rearguard, but the most encouraging notes arrived
from the midfield, where Daley Blind, Ander
Herrera, Juan Mata and Di Maria combined
superbly.
Exactly a year ago, United started hosted Crystal
Palace with a midfield comprising Michael Carrick,
Anderson, Antonio Valencia and Ashley Young and
while all of them are still at the club the change
from 12 months ago, in terms of personnel, has
been nothing short of astounding.
The current quarter offers pace, creativity, steel
and composure and one wonders whether Van Gaal
will return to a five-man midfield in the future,
given how well 4-4-2 worked on Sunday.
3) The right Juan
As United spent and splurged their way through
the final 10 days of the transfer window, pundits
and journalists were busy writing essays in which
they looked to explain why Juan Mata has no place
at Old Trafford.
The arrival of Angel Di Maria, Radamel Falcao and
Ander Herrera, they said, would force Mata out of
the club, less than a year after joining from
Chelsea. Mata, claimed various self-appointed
experts, was to become a sacrificial lamb yet again,
with Van Gaal determined to usher him out of the
door much as Jose Mourinho did in January.
Of course, Mata might face stiff competition to nail
his place down in the starting XI but his goal
against QPR was his ninth in his last 11 games for
United, hardly a disappointing return, particularly
when one considers that three of those games were
played in an experimental side at the beginning of
this season.
Against QPR, Mata, starting in his favourite number
10 role, completed 98% of his attempted passes
and drifted into the box with reassuring regularity,
something United lacked last season, when the lack
of movement up-front made it impossible for
midfielders to find space into the box.
Time will tell where Mata will fit in Van Gaal’s plan,
but it’s hard to imagine him becoming surplus to
requirement any time soon.
4) Blind faith
Arguably the least exciting, at least on paper, of
United’s summer signings, Blind was excellent on
his debut in a red shirt, delivering the sort of
performance a United midfielder hadn’t been
capable of producing in a long time. The Dutchman
looked calm, composed and organised in midfield,
his contribution going almost unnoticed but
extremely important for United’s shape and
rhythm, as he completed 112 passes – the most
out of any United players.
Of course, the likes of David Silva, Eden Hazard and
Steven Gerrard would prove to be much more
formidable opponents, but the early signs are that
Blind could develop into United’s Xabi Alonso, a
player who only gets noticed when he’s missing.
5) Louis’ attitude
United coasted to a 4-0 win and, after a couple of
troubled weeks, one could have expected Van Gaal
to be satisfied with the performance and praise his
players. Instead, he said: “The result is fantastic
but we can play a lot better – it’s a very good start.
After September 1 we had only couple of days
together before the internationals and players
coming back with jet lag and so on. But we have
made a very good new start.”
“When you have a 4-0 win then you can be happy
as a coach but you always have faults you can
improve. I said at half-time and after the match
that I’m very happy because of the way we played –
we were very dominant, we scored goals and a
clean sheet was also very important.”
Anyone able to spot the difference from last
season?

It is the old dilemma: what do you do when
there's a big football match on but you've been
invited to a wedding at the same time? Sneak a
radio into the service to keep up with the action,
or behave with dignity and enjoy the couple's big
day?
Were you invited to this Kenyan couple's
wedding, however, one suspects you would not
have to make the tricky decision.
The bride and groom decided to theme their
wedding around Manchester United, with
everything from their clothes to the wedding cake
featuring Red Devils branding.
As revealed by Africa Gossip News, the groom
wore a United replica kit for the nuptials, and
while his bride looks rather unamused at his
choice in one wedding photo, a quick glance an
another photo reveals the couple are United in
their support.
While the bride is wearing a traditional white
dress, she can also be seen with a red flower in
her hair and so sports the club's colours. Just
for good measure the groom has 'just married'
printed on the back of his kit.
The cake is decorated with red icing plus several
Chevrolet logos in a nod to the club's home kit
for the 2013-14 season.
The wedding car appears to be one part of the
wedding that escapes the United treatment, but
a closer look at the silver Mercedes shows that
it is also decorated with red and white flowers.
There is also a large United flag draped over the
rear window.
Let's hope the marriage is a match made in
heaven, like when Sir Alex Ferguson joined the
club, and does not end in a quick divorce, such
as when David Moyes took over last season.

As David Moyes put out his cigarette, got out of
bed, dressed and left without saying goodbye,
Manchester United Football Club curled up in the
foetal position wondering why any of this had
happened.
Why degrade yourself like this? Why lower your
standards? Why put up with such inadequacy. After
spending so long becoming who you are, why let
one moment of weakness fill you with a lifetime of
regret?
Here we are a few months later totally transformed.
The positive feeling coming out of this club isn’t
like any witnessed before. Different to that of
winning trophies, this is more reassurance that the
club is back and that the horrifying degradation of
the Moyes tenure is over.
Everything King Louis has done so far has been
perfect, although United fans might be unwilling to
trust again so easily after their last heartbreak; Van
Gaal is giving an ever growing account that he is
‘the one’.
Monday night’s result against Liverpool was the
equivalent of your new partner punching your boss
you hate, stealing their car, their credit cards and
emptying their Swiss bank account. More
importantly it finalised a set of impressive results
and put the final touches to some very positive
statistics from this pre-season tour, leaving United
with 16 goals scored in five games, only conceding
four, the majority of which were penalties.
The last time United had statistics such as these
were, well if I’m honest I have no idea when United
last had a set of positive statistics. The last I can
think of is that Moyes hasn’t been manager for 97
days.
Van Gaal has United playing free-flowing, positive
and disciplined football that I personally haven’t
seen since Ronaldo and Tevez left the club. The
emphasis on ‘results over performances’ has been
dropped and the team doesn’t look like they are
waiting for individuals to create something, but are
a well-oiled machine, adhering to a philosophy that
gives them purpose and plays to all their strengths.
Ashley Young has re-established himself as a
wingback. Tom Cleverly is actually beginning to
look like a footballer again. Don’t get too excited,
he still isn’t. Maybe soon.
All this in only 5 matches, although any Scouser or
City fan will tell you they’re meaningless friendlies,
it is clear that United are going to be a totally
different animal this season.
Though no matter how much we shower, the
memories of that one night with Moyes will always
be there. Fortunately a few months on, we look
fitter, happier and more successful whereas Moyes
is unemployed and recently escaped assault
charges for a bar fight.
