Anambra Seals Uwa Mgbede Market, Onitsha Over Poor Sanitation, Other Infractions by Ibrahimcoomasie: 3:08am On Feb 17
The Anambra State Government has sealed the popular Uwa Mgbede Market, located along the Onitsha-Owerri Expressway in Onitsha, over poor “environmental and unapproved practices”.

The popular market is a terminal bubbling with buyers and sellers of various food items such as rice, beans, pepper, tomatoes, onions, yams, fish, and meat, among others.

The personnel of Operation Clean and Healthy Anambra Brigade, led by its Managing Director, Celestine Anere, sealed the facility on Friday.

This is coming a few weeks after the popular Fruit Market along the expressway was also sealed and traders forcefully relocated to the Ogbaru fruit market.

Anere said the market was sealed off for various environmental contraventions such as unapproved location, filthy environment, blocked and littered drainages, illegal and indiscriminate parking and abandonment of trucks on the major road, among others.

He said, “The market was sealed off for various environmental contraventions such as unapproved location, filthy environment, blocked and littered drainages, illegal and indiscriminate parking and abandonment of trucks on the major road, among others.

“Traders should use the various approved markets by the state government which are secured and off the roads for their safety and betterment.

“This is to warn traders constituting self-markets without approval from the state government. Anyone caught will have his or herself to be blamed.”

Meanwhile, the development generated lots of reactions as the traders lamented that no notice was given before the officials embarked on the action.

A trader, Joseph Ukonne, said, “This market has existed for over 20 years. The traders don’t constitute any environmental hazard because we clear the drainage system every week and sweep the environment at the end of each business activity every day.”

I remember when Wike took similar action in Portharcourt they said it was because of the hatred and jealousy he has towards Igbos.

Nigerians are naturally dirty people, they don't have any problem littering the environment. only thing they know how to do is spray perf... that's their own version of cleanliness. Only a few exceptions.

Nice one from Anambra Government. That Onitsha Market is the most dirtiest market in this world. You won't be able to breathe when you are there.

Nigerians are dirty... Fine we get that some of us are.. But there is no proper means of disposing waste.. You will see Waste-Bin fill to the brim yet the waste collectors will not show up.. Go to Alaba suru, Boundary market, Mile 12 market etc..

Even where I work instead of them to be coming every Thursday most times dey won't show up and the worst is that we must pay even if they don't carry our waste..

See as Igbo matter no gree you sleep, see the time you are typing your bigotry, its like Igbo was on the agenda of the witchcraft meeting by that middle of midnight time.

Despite all your bigotry and witchcraft see how poverty has reduced and Ebin pawarised your life in the first picture below while Igbos are enjoying their lives and holding elaborate wedding parties as you can see in the second picture grin

Do you clean your home?

It's regulatory systems, Nigeria lacks. Nothing to do with being "black".
