NwekereNdoki: ANAMBRA IS THE SECOND MOST POPULATED STATE IN NIGERIA. One of the challenges affecting Anambra so far is the nonchalant attitude of the people when it comes to availing themselves to government policies and planning. They are very disaffectionate towards government that they don't won't waste a second with anything governance.
It's good that so far they have learnt to be independent and cater for themselves without government. But then, they still need to understand that the money govt shares around are also their money too and they have to benefit from it anytime there is an opportunity.
Imagine viewing the Nigerian census data and seeing Benue, Niger, Sokoto, Oyo, Bauchi, Kaduna, Katsina, etc. having more population than Anambra. It's shocking.
I won't blame NPC sha, yeah I won't. The problem is Anambra people don't avail themselves of the census. And this is a problem because before FAAC shares allocation, they use your population to decide how much you will get. That is why you see states like Kaduna and Katsina getting more allocation than Anambra. Yeah, it's that bad.
But if you look at data from international organizations after Lagos, Anambra is always the most populated state in Nigeria. These are data coming from reputable organisations that are supported by the likes of USAID, UN and SWAC.
This says a lot about the credibility of NPC data on the population of Nigeria's states.
That's the same problem Abia State have too.
CENSUS WILL SOO START, PLEASE LET'S ENSURE WE ARE COUNTED. NO GO DO YOURSELF BAD THING.

You are right. Onitsha metropolis and outskirt alone should be over 10million people. The truth is that our people have apathy to government issues post-war. An average Anambra person don't believe in government institutions. That is why you have more private institutions flourishing and doing well here as against govt run facilities.
But we still need to grab that money from the government. Am happy but not satisfied with the turnout of our people during the Continuous voters registration. Even though Anambra is the highest in South East the apathy is still visible because I doubt if that figure is a true representation of our voting strenght. But that is an issue for further investigation.
I still believe we have a lot of grassroot work to do to sensitize our people to make themselves available and seize every opportunity to grab what belongs to us from the Central government, even as we clamour for our ultimate emancipation and control of our regional resources.
This is beautiful. I can sight "structures looking like elevators" attached to both the Eastern and Western wings. That is beautiful. We should be flowing with the modern trends.
If you really hate a particular tribe and they are demanding for independence the right thing to do is to grant them their independence and rule your country. SIMPLE. Stop hiding your tribalism in tweets. Tribalists!
Conrod: So anambra \ southeast has oil and gas afterall ?.
You no know? .
Even Enugu has gas deposits in commercial quantity. But I pray Nigeria should stop finding them and messing our environments for us. They should trade other stuffs and leave our oil and gas.
This is one of the reasons I will be a Catholic forever. They speak undiluted truth to your face without fear or favour. Late Bishop Okafor did similar thing in Awka diocese years ago. He rejected Mbadinuju's donation and told him to go and pay teachers and civil servants with it.
This is just history repeating itself. Nice one My lord Bishop!
Danielle09: I don't understand how a sane person will leave cyph and vote for Amaka that talks anyhow
Nigerians love controversy. You will also wonder how a sane person will support Tacha those days but it is normal with Nigeria. Nigerians love controversial people.

See moves. At least you have revealed it. You are going nowhere. Because nobody will arrest you. If you like wear it and pose in front of national assembly building.
And pray Nigerians don't stone you to pulp before your rescue.
It is finished. ASUU is on strike and you tell them no money but you have money to give to another country to improve their security. Meanwhile the security of your own nation is shambles.
Someone said he hates a particular tribe. You may be shocked to know that the same tribe hates you with all the bile in their gall. So it is a mutual hatred.
