Traders Protest In Onitsha Over "Taxation' By Governor Obiano(photos) by henryanna36(op): 8:36am On May 20, 2016
Governor of Anambra state, Willie Obiano has come under severe criticism by residents of the commercial hub of the state, Onitsha.

Traders and residents staged a protest in the city of Onitsha against what they termed 'over taxation' by Obiano's administration.The protesters asked Gov. governor Obiano to step down or be impeached.They also accused him of "killing and milking them of their daily struggle".

Anambra state is one of the few states that are considered financially viable as it does not depend on 'bail-out' from the federal government to pay workers' salaries even at a time when not less than 26 out of the 36 states are struggling with multiple months of unpaid salaries.

See pictures from the protest above

Igbos are outlaws. Protest over taxation, what a people, are they the first to be taxed? They protest over everything all time.
I know that you have a functional brain capacity to differentiate between taxation and over taxation

It doesn't matter. Must they protest every policy, are they not seeing the good work he's doing with the money? Obiano is the best governor at the present and the people should be ready to support him. Ekiti people will be glad to exchange Obianno for Fayose even if he will tax them of their last penny.

Yeah I understand you sir. From the tune of their placards I believe they are with him but are sort of begging him to mellow a bit as the economic outlook is damn hard now.

Thank God you wrote Biafrans not Igbos. Taxation is one thing very alien to Igbo culture with exception of parts of Anioma that once came under Benin influence. Trying to over tax Igbos can bring down your Government.

Don't be as foolish as you sound please.

The protest is for what the traders perceive as "over taxation" not for just being taxed, Nkakwu!

Ibo man, How is a trader protest thread a biaafra issue? You truly dont have any shame, i will rather die than claim another tribe, its a low for you and your generation. This is a faceless forum, yet you are even scared and had to hide behind Yoruba to insult them, be bold and proud of your tribe. Your brothers have disgrace you here many times but shame wont let you stop disgracing them. Continue since you really wish and pray to be from the tribe you hate so much.

What is imostor? Illiterate Ibo man, be proud of your tribe and leave Yoruba alone. You hate us so much and still hiding just to spew trash about us. I hate cowards like you cos you stand for nothing in life, spend your time on reasonable things instead of hiding behind a yoruba handle to do tribal war. May God deliver your lost soul.

They have every reason to protest. It has nothing to do with ethnicity.
