The greatest threat to the environmental settings of Anambra state and southeastern Nigeria is the gradual but constant dissection of the landscape by soil erosion.


More than 16% of the entire land area of Anambra Nigeria is occupied by water-made gullies and erosions.



Most villages in Nanka have had their fair share and homes in Uga villages are dangling precariously and some villages are almost at the precipice of being wiped out.



The Federal and Anambra state governments need to come to the aid of her indigenes.



Uga is collapsing!!!



Anambra State, Nigeria's second smallest state by land mass is fast loosing it's land to erosion



Below are videos of an eyewitness report...

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) governorship primary in Kogi State ended abruptly in the early hours of today Wednesday when gunmen invaded the venue of the election, Confluence Stadium in Lokoja, the state capital.

Voting had ended and the sorting of votes was going on when the gunmen stormed the venue and started shooting from different directions.

Security officers, aspirants, delegates and others scampered for safety as sporadic gunshots rang in the air.

The number of casualties has yet to be ascertained as at the time of filing this report. Details later... Stay connected

Wow you have made a very tangible point,those women should be immortalized and their story told as a subject from primary school level.

I’m sure 90% of Africans, Nigerians and mainly people of Igbo origin who read the headline of this post will be like who the hell are these people?

Yes we wouldn’t know them because we’ve been busy learning about their Mother Theresa and the fraudulent story of Mary Slessor.



On this day 90yrs ago, in the morning of November 18th 1929, a man called Emereuwa upon the directive of his boss Okugo the warrant chief, walked into the compound of a widow called Nwanyereuwa, ordered her for a census of all her livestock and household. The widow Nwanyereuwa knowing the census will determined how much she will be taxed by the British colonial government, embittered, shouted on Emereuwa “was your widowed mother at home counted?” An angry exchange ensued. Nwanyereuwa resentfully rushed down to the town and market square, consulted other disgruntled women, They with palm fronds quickly mobilised other women. And that marked the beginning of one of the greatest resistance, rebellion and uprising the British imperial colonial rule ever faced in Nigeria and Africa in general, Called “ # The_Aba_Womens_Riot ” otherwise known as “ # The_women_who_w

ent_to_war ”



While the men were subdued, while the man died in the men in the face of oppression and tyranny of colonialism. The women stepped up and in. Record has it that over ten thousand women were involved in this revolt, and about 50 women lost their lives in the war/riot. This resistance was orchestrated by ;

1) Persuasive # Ikonnia

2) Intelligent # Nwannedia

3) Passionate # Nwugo &

4) Wise, Counselling and strategic # Nwanyereuwa these were the women that led the Famous

# Aba_Womens_Riot . Women from across Six ethnic groups were involved, the Igbos, Ibibio, Andoni, Ogoni, Bonny and Opobo



Hundreds of British colonial courts were burnt down and destroyed, hundreds of warrant chiefs were ostracised and banished. On the aftermath of the revolt, the British were forced to abandon the proposed plans to impose tax on the market women, powers of the warrant chiefs were considerably curbed and more robust room was created for women’s inclusiveness in the grand scheme of things.



The Aba women’s riot was on the scale never seen before. It prompted, encouraged and inspired subsequent agitations like;

1) The Tax protest of 1938

2) The Owerri & Calabar oil mill protest of the 1940s

3) The Onitsha Aba Tax revolt of 1956



Then consequently the Nigeria independence in 1960.

But unfortunately sad, when you drive through Aba today, you will see Faulks road, in owerri you will see Wetheral Road and Douglas road all of them are colonial relics. Imo state government house is called Douglas house, named after Harold Morday Douglas, a brutal British colonial district commissioner who orchestrated the Ahiara expedition of 1905 that saw villages wiped out.



I hope that one day, the Igbos, Ibibios, Andonis, Ogonis, Opobos and Bonnis will have a leadership that will remember these women, the fifty that lost their lives and all that paid the ultimate price, immortalise them. I hope one day I shall see Nwanyereuwa road, Ikonnia hospital, Nwannedia secondary school and Nwugo shopping plaza. I hope to see us name our children after these legendary women and mothers and tell them the story.


I remember the women who didn’t only fight against an oppressive British colonial rule but also had to fight their own men (Warrant chiefs) who chose the side of the Oppressor because of crumbs that fall from the table of masser.

Aba women’s riot, the women who went to war and conquered THE WEST to a stand still

Countless Nigerians aren't pleased with the court ruling in favor of British firm to take over Nigeria's costliest asset.


Several individuals, Coalition of Civil Society Groups today Monday protested at the United Kingdom High Commission in Abuja over the court judgment granted to Process and Industrial Development Ltd to take over $9.6bn worth of Nigeria’s asset.

The protesters vow to continue their action all through the month of September until the judgement is reversed.

They carried various placards with inscription such “$9.6bn judgement is a fraud,” “No to illegal take over of our national assets,” “Nigeria rejects fraudulent judgment from British judge,” among others... As at the time of filing this report the British High Commissioner or any high ranking staff in the Embassy is yet to make official comment to the thousands of protesters.

When we were begging Bob Risky to stop, did he listen?

Please and please allow us to face other national issues like Sowore and Dadiyyatta's release please.

I wonder why Nigerians don't promote our achievements, innoson is manufacturing good cars everyday but you won't see it on social media, but when it comes to internet fraud by Nigerians the same media will blow it out of proportion, Russian and American citizens are committing crimes every day but they do everything possible and apply damage control system.

Visa-free travel for Nigerians is a true for a good number of destinations. Here are some of those places that welcome Nigerians even without visa.



People talk a big game about wanting to see the world, and it’s a good thing to want too. But even when there are no financial constraints, desiring to explore the world also usually comes with the less-talked-about issues related to travel restrictions and visa issues. And more so when you’re in possession of the “famous” green passport.

As a Nigerian citizen, it might interest you to know that there are a lot of countries you could actually visit without a visa. Mostly, because these countries have no need for it and are very welcoming of foreigners.

It is also important to note that some of these countries offer visa on arrival while others allow you to stay for a specified number of days or months before a visa will be required. Also, some countries may not require a visa regardless of how long you stay. Below are twenty-six countries you can visit with a Nigerian passport without a visa:
