Don’t be Afraid of Ubiquitous Helicopters and Armoured Vehicles.

Statement by the Anambra State Commissioner for information & Public Enlightenment, C. Don Adinuba, on new measures which the state government has adopted to boost peace and security


1. To make Anambra remain the safest and most peaceful state in Nigeria which will help realize the vision to make it the foremost investment destination in the country, the Anambra State government is increasing its air surveillance during the Christmas and New Year period.

2. Helicopters to patrol all parts of the state are being deployed. The helicopters will sometimes fly at low altitudes. This is to enable the pilots and other security agents flying with them to have a bird’s eye view of the security situation in every place.

3. They will monitor the movement of individuals and even cattle. They will also monitor vehicular traffic. They will provide reports constantly to appropriate agencies for prompt action.

4. The state government, therefore, urges the people of Anambra State and individuals and groups passing through the state not to panic or be afraid. The ubiquitous presence of helicopters is for their benefit.

5. The helicopters are the latest in a series of far-reaching measures which the Willie Obiano administration has adopted to make the Christmas and New Year celebrations most rewarding for our people, as they travel in their millions from all parts of the world to their homeland, often accompanied by friends and well wishers.

6. For instance, the state has in the last one week seen a large number of Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs) operated by specially trained officers of the Nigeria Police Force. The APCs are deployed to the streets of Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi. They work side by side with well-manned security vans and cars which are well equipped.

7. The government also wishes to inform all Ndi Anambra that it has about to start the installation of the most advanced Closed-circuit Television (CCTV) cameras in the world in the three leading cities in the state. The installation will be in conjunction with the Boston Innovation Centre in Massachusetts, United States. The agreement for the supply of the special CCTVs and the subsequent installation was signed between the Boston Innovation centre and the Anambra State government when Governor Obiano visited the United States last October to see for himself how our state could benefit more from advanced research and innovation, for which Massachusetts is world famous.

8. After the pilot scheme in Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi, the sophisticated CCTV cameras will be installed in other parts of the state. The devices will assist Ndi Anambra secure important public assets like electric facilities which are vandalized from time to time. The task to reposition Anambra in the international community has started in earnest, and Ndi Anambra are enjoined to continue to support the state administration as they have always done admirably.

9. As we join the rest of Christendom to mark the birthday of our Lord Jesus Christ and to observe the beginning of a new year, Ndi Anambra should not panic at the unusual presence of helicopters, APCs, security vans and cars as well as state of the art CCTV cameras because they are being deployed for their benefit.

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year.



Signed

hammer6F:
No Igbo person should be communicating with another Igbo person in English.

Anything they want to say should be said in Igbo.

I really dont know wat is going on anymore with our people.

Yoruba carry their language abroad and are even forcing white people to learn Yoruba.

Our Igbo brothers will be forming Afonja and white in common Lagos.

Terrible!

i wonder my brother our people forming afonja in Lagos even more than the Afonjas. I wonder who do this to Ndiigbo I nearly bless one Abakaliki girl with slap in my office I ask her something in Igbo she answer me with English what am trying to tell you now is that our Igbo brothers and sisters are too wicked they will claim being aboki in Abuja and Kano also claim to be afonja in Lagos chai god help ndi Igbo.

my three sisters

hammer6F:
This generation of Igbo leaves alot more to be desired.

The way this generation conduct demselves is almost like a match to self destruction of Igbo.

Is IK Ogbonnaya a yoruba man?

How come he married a foreigner, never showed the foreigner to his village or villagers let alone his King, yet the foreigner found her way to Ille Ife in Osun State.

It is not even clear if she knows he is Igbo or wat Igbo is. They have a son, i bet u the boy also dont know he is Igbo.

Now, she has left him and the same yoruba are saying it is for a billionaire.

I bet u my trousers dat Yoruba have collected his wife and who ever did is closely affiliated to the Oni of Ife.

Wat is wrong with Umu Igbo today? @ pazienza, ngozi123, amarabae, Bigfrancis21, afam4eva,

the why am hating being Igbo now is that in Lagos when you see ur Igbo brother just try to speak Igbo with him he will answer you all ur question with English especially our Igbo girls in Lagos or Abuja why are we denying our language and tribe

Night life in Enugu too Sweet jare

nnamdijonathan:
IMO state generated more money in just 6 months of 2018 than what it generated in the entire 2017. How did this even happen? Anambra generated less same with Enugu, Ebonyi, and Abia. I doubt these figures are genuine, SE governments are releasing fraudulent and fake figures.

imo state is among the poorest state in Nigeria 2018 rate

Obi1kenobi:
It's a combination of the first 2. One, Anambra is not nearly as developed or industrialized as many like to claim. I always laugh at the grandiose claims of many Anambrarians here like claiming it's the most industrialized state after Lagos, when Ogun beats Anambra hands down in industries. Secondly, it should still be doing far better than it's doing with a more visionary, resolute, diligent, organized leadership. But Peter Obi was more interested in boasting about how much he saved and how little he borrowed, than generating revenue. Obiano seems to think building flyovers and bridges is all governance is about. Hence, far too few Anambrarians pay tax. My father who owns blocks of flats in Nkpor says he has not paid tenement rate on any of them in ages. It seems the government thinks extorting motorists with an army of touts is the only way to generate revenue.

this guy is an impostor coward tout be warned afonja man Anambra state beat Ibadan and ogun state hand down in terms of industrialization. That is facts and nothing else.

jamjo:
The problem is not only in Anambra but all Southeast, and believe me Southeast is as viable as SS or even more, It is just our visionless leaders who don't think outside box. Imagine if they can implement an effective properties tax collection system statewide, when I said statewide, including the villages. If they can collect between #100 to #5000 every month from all the houses that scattered all over our towns and villages in Igbo land and up the tax collection in other areas to at least 60% believe me Abuja money will be the money for the rainy days.

i don't think that house owners pay taxs in Anambra state only in Enugu state that some residents house owners pay tax

NonsoWow:
This is very commendable. A lot of Anambra indigenes are heeding to Obiano's policy of Aku luo uno. Awka now has a cinema while the one in enugu has since closed down due to lack of purchasing power by wawa people and the fact that many people are relocating to Awka from Enugu due to lack of water in enugu town.

my brother I can tell you some of Igbo men prefer to live in Awka than Enugu I know most of them especially wawa people Awka is now city but only why I love Enugu is because of real estate raising up there Enugu is our capital but before 5 years coming Awka will beat Enugu hand ✋ - � down

Obi1kenobi:
Is that by published statistics or is your own concocted fact? And why would you measure the progress of the state by the failures across the SE zone rather than against successful states like Ogun or Rivers or Delta or even Kano? Are you well at all?

all this state jongs state you mention here can never be better than Anambra state I know you are an Afonja man claiming Igbo name iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidiot

Obi1kenobi:
I tire sha o. It's baffled me for years how a comparatively viable state cannot generate significant revenue, and gets beaten in revenue by states like Kwara and Cross River. After, Ipob noisemakers will be shouting "Biafra or Death" when we're still parasites that depend on handouts from the Federal Government.

you are soo stupid afonja shawar

Anambra have oil and still yet Anambra Igr is too poor and have the most biggest market in west Africa and yet Anambra igr is too poor and have many factory industris like IVM. HERO'S DRINK. 33 BEER, LIFE BEER, ORANGE GRUG. POWER HORSE DRINK ETC PLS AM ASKING WHO IS THAT CRIMINAL KAI KAI MAN RUEING ANANBRA STATE. Imagine what I saw in Enugu city on instagram just negodu high class flyover [font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font] [code][/code]

mktinsight:
Like I said the Obiano administration is corrupt and incompetent. Just look at the IGR.

IGR in Anambra was 10 billion in 2014, 14.8 billion in 2015, was not reported in 2016, and was 17.36 billion in 2017. But already with the end of 2018 approaching it is clear that IGR will drop drastically in 2018 probably to around 15 billion.

Meanwhile just consider how other states have fared. Look at Kaduna for example that had LOWER IGR than Anambra in 2015. Its IGR in 2015 was 11 billion, in 2016 it was 17 billion, in 2017 it was 26.5 billion.

The question is what did Kaduna do that Obiano's revenue service did not do:

1) The Kaduna State Government has only ONE authority that collects tax KDIRS. They digitized and automated tax collection. Meanwhile, Anambra State government resorted to using "Agents". These corrupt "agents" have clearly diverted huge sums of revenue from government coffers.

2) Kaduna clamped down heavily on street trading, hawking and okada while under the ANSG that and illegal parked vehicles have taken over the streets of commercial districts in Anambra creating chaos and chasing away profits for formal business that pay taxes.

3) Law Enforcement has collapsed under the ANSG. The Ocha Brigade, ATMA are all corrupt entities doing little enforcement but lining their pockets creating a poor business environment.


Going forward, I recommend that Obiano get serious with his next three years in office. The state should be doing at least 36 billion if it created the right environment for formal business to flourish. For example, PAYE Tax which is the largest source of revenue for Lagos is based on 24% of personal income. You cannot get much tax from wheelbarrow hawkers. You need to attract real organizations that pay decent salaries for PAYE tax. The state has absolutely no idea how to get these companies even as it is sitting on a gold mine with Onitsha (a major distribution point). Just attracting the likes of PZ Cussons, Indomie, and other consumer good companies to the state would yield massively for the state government not 1,000 wheelbarrows lined up in front of Ochanja.

As it is, Enugu gets quite a lot of IGR because it hosts the factories for Coca Cola, Nigerian Breweries, Seven Up and others. This is despite the fact that Onitsha has a natural location advantage with access to water (from River Niger) and distance to key markets around. But real investors run from chaos. MTN's regional headquarters is based in Asaba not Onitsha, Glo's is based in Enugu.

I believe ur right up sir obiano is corrupt governor Anambra igr supposed to be at least 60billions every month but my problem is that all those Abakaliki tout collecting money from onitsha traders willbarol bushers and buses in Anambra why can't Anambra state government arrest them and chase them back to there land
