Christmas in Anambra: A Tale of Grandeur and Pizzazz. Christmas in Anambra is a bust of fireflies; a thousand colourful lights twinkling late into the night and warming the hearts and souls of a great people with love from the cold chill of the hamarttan. From Upper Iweka to Uli and from Ogwuikpele to Omasi, Anambra is a dazzling carnival of colour at Christmas; very much like the famous Ijele masquerade, spinning in its own orbit and spraying shimmering rays of light on onlookers. It is such a beauty, such a luminous spectacle to behold and to be swaddled in for a few precious moments. Every homestead, every homestead crackles with life. Whew! This has been the story since Chief Willie Obiano took over as Governor in 2014…since he set the night skies of Upper Iweka ablaze with blinding fireworks to blast what was once a den of robbers into a new friendly phase of existence. It is the story of a time in the life of a people; when leadership rose to its full height to reclaim its place in the hearts of everyday people. Governor Obiano’s choice of Upper Iweka as the spot to usher in the Yuletide Season in Anambra State is as symbolic as it is instructive. For years, Upper Iweka was the metaphor for crime and the total collapse of law and order in Anambra and much of South East Nigeria. It stood apart as the ultimate emblem of a dysfunctional society. Hardened criminals in the region saw it as their headquarters; a place where they could do anything without any challenge from the law. The reign of criminals lasted until Governor Obiano took the battle to them and swiftly turned Upper Iweka into a garden of hope. Since then, Anambra has maintained the tradition of kicking off Christmas celebrations at Upper Iweka to commemorate the swift transition of the state from darkness and fear to freedom and light. As in previous years, this year, Governor Obiano led the members of his Cabinet to Upper` Iweka to herald the Christmas season into the state by switching on the Christmas light. Residents of Upper Iweka and environs turned out to behold the spectacle as the fireworks rent the sky. It was a brisk affair as the governor also had to perform a similar ceremony at the expansive foregrounds of Kenneth Dike Memorial Library, Awka. It was a happy moment in Awka as the fireworks exploded to welcome Christmas to Anambra. But in reality though, Christmas actually came early to Anambra with two major events that drew the attention of the literary world to Awka. The first was the formal presentation of the book ‘dispossessed,’ a collection of poems written by James Eze, the governor’s spokesman. It was a remarkable event that attracted the Nigerian literati, including literary scholars from Canada, Lagos, Port Harcourt and other cities in the South East to Awka. The literary establishment suddenly woke up to the fact that Awka could play host to major events on the literary calendar. Indeed, the formal presentation of dispossessed’ marked a rupture on the cultural landscape of Anambra as one of the scholars who attended the event, Prof Nduka Otiono from Carleton University; Ottawa, Canada took several steps further to hold a free Creative Writing Master Class for the Post Graduate students of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University. The second major literary event was the Purple Hibiscus Creative Writing Workshop hosted by Chimamanda Adichie in Awka about the same time. The workshop attracted budding creative writers from Nigeria, Kenya and Zimbabwe. These two events opened a fresh chapter to the Christmas in Anambra experience. The truth though is that Christmas came early to Anambra this year. It began with the frantic fixing of potholes on roads devastated by heavy rainfall. It was a fulfillment of Obiano’s promise to fix all broken roads across the state before Christmas. Ultramodern machines known as Durapatchers were swiftly deployed to fix broken roads and get the state ready for the influx of returnees coming home to reunite with their families and friends at Christmas. When the story is told, it will be remembered that one of the highlights of the 2019 Christmas in Anambra is the Master Class in entrepreneurial studies organized by the Stanel Group in partnership with Access Bank and Innoson Motors for the youths of Anambra State. The event attracted leading entrepreneurs and industrialists as well as other experts who have a fair knowledge of how the Nigerian economy works. It was heavily over-subscribed as Anambra youths thronged the venue to grab ideas that would aide their success in life. The programme was not all business and no fun. Frontline musicians and comedians were also on hand to spark up the evening for the youths after the serious business sessions during the day. However, Christmas in Anambra went a few notches higher on December 20th when the state government decided to hold a Carol of Nine Lessons at the Alex Ekwueme Square, Awka. It was a splendid night of special performances from different choirs before a large audience. The night also witnessed an amazing performance by the community of people living with disability. It began with a bible reading by the visually impaired lawyer, Bar Chuks Ezewuzie who is also a Special Adviser on Disability Affairs to the governor. Ezewuzie charmed the audience with a masterful reading that betrayed nothing of his disability and set the tone for the rest of the night. The Special Carol night was not just about Christmas songs. Igbo rap phenomenon; Phyno led Slow Dogg and Mr Reel on a lyrical spree to spice up the evening and enhance the richness of the experience. After the Carol Nights and big musical concerts in the cities, Christmas celebration shifted to the hinterlands where different communities exploded with an assortment of high profile wedding ceremonies, Ofala ceremonies, special anniversary celebrations, Ozo title-taking ceremonies and different community carnivals, football tournaments, masquerade festivals and big family reunions. There were also special lectures, symposium, traditional wrestling bouts, community development fundraising and other activities that enhance social harmony and a deeper sense of community and kinship among the people. Children were not left out of the circle of merriment. The wife of the governor, Dr Mrs Ebelechukwu Obiano hosted a special Christmas Party for children at the Governor’s Lodge that offered Anambra children a taste of Christmas. Across the length and breadth of Anambra, festivity was in the air. Hotels were fully booked ahead of Christmas. Night clubs, bars and drinking gardens were throbbing with merriment. Everywhere was aglow with excitement as Ndi Anambra enjoyed a lovely Christmas with their loved ones under the protective gaze of the state. Yes, Governor Obiano’s heavy investment in security has turned Anambra into an island of peace. Motorists crisscrossed the state at whatever time of the night without fear as the citizens savoured the glorious streetlights that lit up every nook and cranny of the state and the high security arrangement offered by the government to socialize and interact with one another. In the end, memories were made, family ties strengthened and development plans hatched in a peaceful, friendly and superbly electrifying environment that governor Willie Obiano has offered his people. That is Christmas in Anambra. That is the Spirit of Anambra. 5 Likes

Please the person reeling out profits and loss made by other airports is totally irrelevant...why I said so is simple after building an airport and is actively working, another is patience, it is foolish to think of recouping the money spent on the construction of an airport very soon. Lagos airport has long recovered money spent on the construction of the airport and currently reaping the gain, so it applies to others... Even five star hotels owners don't recover the money spent on construction of their hotels very soon less talking about gain in a short while ....it takes time and proactive management of the property to yield the anticipated gain. This is how it applies in all and sundry....just like the tallest building in Dubai..as much as people are patronizing hotel is yet to reap the cost of construction talk less of gain..it needs time and commitment in management that's all. This applies to roads or ports concessioned to an investor the active pattern in the agreement is the long time give or available for the investor to recoup the expenses made as well as gain. Please forget about the what profit or loss...is irrelevant is only a matter of time, ANSG should be concerned about the management of the airport after construction as I believe that it will be handled competently by a good organization just like the Agulu Lake resort.. Thank you. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Armon: Actually it is very relevant. Money doesnt grow on trees. Its not just about building its about whether you can manage and run it sustainably. Nigeria has a lot of white elephant projects. Ajaokuta was built for over 600 billion. Where is it today? Where is NITEL? Nigeria Airways? All dead. Delta state could throw away 36 billion building Asaba Airport because it has a budget of over 300 billion a year. But what happens if oil prices collapse by 80% and cause that 300b budget to become 60b? In that scenario can Delta State government fund the airport when its runway needs to be maintained or upgraded or its traffic control systems upgraded? The Delta State government concessioned it off because Okowa knew that Uduaghan made a bad investment decision and he wanted no part of spending even more on it (he spent an additional 5 billion on the airport). The major problem Asaba had with the idea of building an airport is that it is not Lagos. Lagos Airport has ALWAYS been the gateway to Nigeria from 1960 to present. Lagos has the natural advantage and It made sense to build an airport because to come to Nigeria from anywhere in the world you HAD to come through Lagos airport. But for Asaba, any international carrier would question 1) Is there enough traffic to fly there and 2) Are there no alternatives. Asaba/Onitsha fails on both ends. It doesnt have enough global importance that you could land even just a rudimentary 3 flights per day from around the world. How many foreigners do business in Asaba/Onitsha? How much trade happens between Asaba/Onitsha and the rest of the world? Then secondly, an international carrier sees Port Harcourt first and Enugu second as alternatives for international flights into the South-East. So Asaba is a domestic airport and unfortunately, for Nigeria domestic aviation is a low margin business that requires high volume. Nigeria does not have high volume of local flights like the USA or Europe. 80% of airport traffic in the USA is domestic and the USA boasts of over 850 million passengers who fly every year. Nigeria has less than 8 million. The US is large and flying alleviates driving long distances. Nigeria is the size of Texas and you can get anywhere in a day driving and at most 1 hour flying. The US is rich and can afford conveniences. Nigeria is poor and aviation is for those with money. This is why states should be careful building an airport. It is dumping billions into a project with low demand and low margins. Nigeria will not be rich in the next 30 years and by then the airport will either deteriorate and become obsolete like Lagos Airport and require extensive refurbishing and upgrade which will come at huge cost. Will the state government be able to support it then? 5 Likes 2 Shares |
