I saw the video report on STV News, but I was busy at the time, so I don't know if that's the actual logo and I have not yet heard the anthem.

[size=14pt]ANAMBRA TODAY: Chimamanda to speak at Obiano’s 100 days in office lecture.[/size]

By Our Reporter on June 23, 2014

Multiple-prize-winning nov­elist and en­gaging public speaker, Ms Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has been cho­sen to deliver the keynote address at the special lecture being planned to mark Gov­ernor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano’s first 100 days in office.

The event, which will take place on Wednesday, June 25 at the Women Development Centre, Awka, the state capi­tal, [size=13pt]will also feature a formal unveiling of the corporate symbols of the new Anambra, which have been in the works for some time[/size] now as well as the flag-off of some legacy projects by the governor of the state.

Ms Adichie, who divides her time between Maryland, USA and Lagos, was consid­ered the ideal speaker for the event following her firm grasp of contemporary Nigerian nar­ratives and her soaring status as a persuasive speaker of note.

Ms Adichie, who hails from Abba town in Dunukofia Local Government Area of Anambra State, is widely believed to be very popular across ethnic and racial boundaries and seen as a symbol for Nigerian youths. Her involvement is believed to be in line with Governor Obi­ano’s passionate drive to redi­rect the energy of the youths of Anambra State to the pursuit of goals and ideals that would bring dignity to the state.

Viewed against the back­drop of the current massive crackdown on criminals in the state, Adichie’s invitation to speak at Obiano’s first 100 days in office lecture is seen as a symbolic reminder to the youths of the state that a return to the values of hard work and legitimate aspirations is still the surest way to a successful and contented life.

She is expected to address an audience of about 2,000 people, including members of the Anambra State Execu­tive Council, traditional rulers, members of different women associations, members of the state House of Assembly, members of the academia and the youths on the subtle issues of governance and the need to re-awaken the Anambra spirit through a determined return to the values that once marked the state out in the country.

Adichie’s address is pro­grammed to fall in sync with the [size=13pt]formal unveiling of a new logo and other items of cor­porate identity for the state to formally mark the commence­ment of Governor Obiano’s campaign for the restoration of the intangible assets that once made Ndi Anambra great.

The corporate symbols, which have long been incubat­ed by a Lagos-based integrated marketing communications consortium known as Brand Aristotle, are expected to usher in a new phase of cultural and ethical renaissance in the state that will return it to the path of moral and cultural rectitude.[/size]

Adichie, who established herself as one of Africa’s most notable literary voices, made a phenomenal transition into the club of eclectic public speakers with her riveting performance at the 2009 Ted Talk in the UK, poignantly entitled: The Dan­ger of a Single Story.

She firmly establish herself as a speaker of note a couple of years later with another masterful delivery on femi­nism, which eventually found its way into mainstream ac­ceptance when its lines were sampled by super-talented mu­sic diva, Beyonce for her song, Flawless.

Interestingly, since she be­gan to garner global acclaim through her books and speech­es, Ms Adichie has yet to make any serious public appearance in her home state of Anambra until her recent invitation to speak at the governor’s first 100 days in office event.

It would be recalled that since he assumed office on March 17, this year, Obiano has been very outspoken about the ills that have held the state down, upbraiding the custodians of the people’s cultural mores for not asking hard-headed questions of the members of their communities whose wealth has no easy ex­planation.

mikolo80: 1.we have to crawl before we can fly.its a process. 2. Buying time, we sell time then.if "we" institute the process on an annual or biannual basis will s/he bribe 40000 ppl every six months? I'll take it. Its better than him pocketing all the billions. 3. Judges can be taken to court as scapegoats others will stop issuing stupid injunctions. 4 .its a game that we have to play or we continue suffering. Its easier to get frustrated ppl signatures than for them to protest on the road and get tear gasped is all i'm saying and you'll be a pain in the asss of the politician. 5. If we are afraid of assassination then we should stop complaining and enjoy the fresh air. Just saying

1) Of course I know it's a process. I'm addressing your statement that "it hasn't been tried before". It has.

2) How many people are in the constituency and how many people do they need to bribe? The fact that you restart the process every 6 months does not mean that you will change the minds of the people that have been bought. And yes, these politicians have access to huge state funds that can be used for mass bribery. Where do you think the billions that's looted every year goes to?

How will you restart the process every 6 months when you are being held by the police for forgery?

Do you know that INEC needs to verify the signatures? What will you do if INEC refuses to verify the signatures (this has happened in the past)?

3) Yes judges can be taken to court, but who will adjudicate? Another corrupt judge?

4) It's a game you can continue playing, but do you really think it's that easy to get signatures? Don't you think we'd have been having recall petitions every week if it was that simple?

mikolo80: HOW CAN YOU CONDEMN SOM'N YOU HAVEN'T EVEN TRIED YET

1) It's been done many times in the past. For example:

naptu2: I think there were attempts to recall Osita Izunaso and Arthur Nzeribe.

Early in 2009 there were moves to recall Izunaso, with a petition submitted by people of the Orlu Senatorial District of Imo state to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).[4] Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu dismissed the threats as baseless, pointing to the excellent work the Senator had done for the people of the state.[5] 

Both Izunaso and Ekweremadu were part of a lobby group opposed to dismissal of INEC chairman Professor Maurice Iwu despite the many problems of the 2007 elections. Izunaso's support for Iwu may have been because Iwu was responsible for conduct of the referendum on Izunaso's recall.[6]

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osita_Izunaso

In April 2006 the Orlu People’s Consultative Assembly, sponsored by the governor of Imo state Achike Udenwa, staged what it called “One million March” to drum support for Nzeribe’s recall from the Senate.[6]

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Nzeribe

having allegedly failed to apologise to Governor Godswill Akpabio over his recent utterances, the people of Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District, are expected to kick-start a recall process of Senator Aloysius Etok on Friday, May 10, 2013.

2) From past experience, the main obstacle is the process of collecting signatures.

3) Once you start collecting signatures, the politician will head to court to stop the process (the main aim of going to court is not really to get a court order to nullify the process, but to buy time).

4) The politician will start a money war . He will bribe, influence and coerce voters, so that they will not apend their signature to your petition.

5) The fact that someone has signed your petition does not mean that you are home and dry. The politician will bribe the person in order to get the person to allege that you forged his signature.

6) The police will arrest you for forgery.

7) The politician would have finished his tenure and moved on by the time that all the court cases (including regular appeals that will go all the way to the Supreme Court) are concluded.

8 ) The fact that you are able to collect the necessary signatures, does not mean that the politician will be removed from office. Referenda, just like elections, can be rigged.

9) Refer to PROUD-IGBO's post about unfortunate accidents

musiwa112: [b][size=18pt]seun osewa is trying to cover up himself for hacking. but osewa dont know, who musiwa is, there are evident already linking osewa to hacking and remote login into other people computer. Nairaland was never hacked. seun osewa was only trying to coverup for hacking, by shuting down nairaland.. because seun osewa is involve in cybercrime of hacking computer and other people information.

there is interpol. (international police) and osewa as a case on his hand to answer. for hacking and remote login. so osewa pretending on hacking to escape a crime, is because he is not well educated.
interpol have and monitor the internet. And interpol have the ability to track and locate you, no matter, which country, you are..

the internet was not created for criminal to steal people identity, it was design for easy way of doing business,communication and create jobs. But you people have transform the internet to criminal system. It is such a shame.

Video by nigeria government warning everybody to stop using nairaland. because seun osewa is involve in crime.

You can not beat technology..either is the cell phone, computer etc.. Interpol will track you.

God want you to stay away from crime.
