I just watched a video about the Anambra state health insurance scheme and I want to know if anyone here has registered for it. I watched the video on Channels TV and was very impressed by what I saw. Registered members of the insurance scheme were paying 10% of their actual hospital bills at the state hospitals. They also said about 212 thousand residents of Anambra have registered so far and get to pay just 10% of their bills when they get admitted in state hospitals. A woman who just gave birth was interviewed and she confirmed that she paid only 10% of her bill.
From the look of things, once I get comfortable with my remote job, I will consider relocating to this Anambra state. At least from my research, rent in Onitsha is cheaper than rent in Lagos. Imagine getting to enjoy such health benefits.

Moroccoguy:
Agbero for Lagos they learn.

Agbero? Wetin concern Agbero with this news? A useless driver is evading tax from a legal tax agency and you are comparing it to the extortion done by jobless youths that litter Lagos?

The fact that you built a portfolio that looks completely unique and different from the norm, I'll give your portfolio a rating of 10/10 honestly. You just made me love gradients even more and I noticed your storytelling style.

B2mario:
Chai, I pity for you because it is quite obvious that you are having mental and psychological problem. It is a known fact that Orlu people are the richest Igbo and the first to discover trading in west Africa. They are the pure Isu and Orsu. They are divided unequally into Imo and Anambra. They are the ones that occupied Orlu zone and some parts of Okigwe and Mbano in Imo state, Isuochi and Isukwuato in Abia state, Ihiala, Nnewi, Aguatta and Orumba in Anambra state and Igbouzo and Ogwashi ukwu in Delta.

You don't want Orlu state because you know that some of them or even all in Anambra state will be carved into the new state thereby making Anambra state to because empty. What has Anambra state offered to these people carved into it? Rather it is these people that are investing heavily to this ungrateful and unprogressive state.

You know that the creation of Orlu state will lead to fall of Onitsha and that is what majority of you want to trickishly prevent by working against Orlu state. Those Orlu indigenes who are doing extremely well in Onitsha will relocate their businesses and pharmaceutical industries to Orlu town.


Anambra state is very stagnant and the least progressive state in the whole of southeastern states. Stop being foolish and ginger your government to work and develop the state and stop thinking that defending it online will change people's narrative about it. That state is a disgrace. Anytime people travel to Anambra state and come back to north they will always tell us how noisy cheat beating we are, that nothing is in our place. That Anambra state that supposed to be the leading Igbo state is urgly, disorganized and lack good roads. But when they travel to Imo, Enugu, Abia and Ebonyi and come back they will be shouting and asking us what are we doing in the north since our places are developed? That it is only small thing that separated us from developed countries of Europe. That our cities are planned, beautiful, well kept and contain more of high and beautiful storey buildings.

Guy wake up, Anambra as a state is a disgrace to Igbo land. The most disorganized state I've ever seen. And the indigenes will be online defending something that when you travel to it, it becomes crystal clear to you.
Is this not foolishness. Keep on attacking Imo, trying to paint it black online while we keep on making progress.

You can't keep telling Nigerians that Imo people are poor while in every city they know and see Orlu people's achievement and keep on asking questions about Orlu people. Orlu people are the richest in Aba and Onitsha cities. Go and conduct your research.

Did you write this under the influence of hard drugs? What is stopping these Orlu indigenes from developing Orlu? Anambra state's capital is Awka but it has Onitsha as it's largest commercial city and Nnewi as it's indigenous industrial capital. What is stopping Orlu indigenes from turning Orlu into the industrial or commercial capital of Imo state? By 2027, Orlu zone would have ruled Imo state for 16 straight years and yet you guys still blame others for your undevelopment. Orlu state will not include any part of Anambra and that bill will be trashed at 2nd reading. You guys should respect yourselves.

ANSMEDIA:
Maitama and Asokoro of SE

Tree planting should be taken seriously in estates like this. The pavement at the center of the road should have palm trees spaced evenly with shorter shrubs to compliment everything. Beverly hills should give you an idea.

The health minister came all the way from Abuja to commission a maternity ward? A ward is just one small section of a hospital. Even from the pictures above you can see how small the ward is. Must we commission everything in Nigeria no matter how small it is? Is this not the same state where 1 MRI machine was also commissioned? I hope we don't start commissioning tables and chairs in the future.

Amah70:
Nothing in this Nigeria will make Anioma become a 6th state for the SE. Igbos are not stupeeed. Anioma as sixth state for the SE actually shortchanges Igbos. It reduces political representation for Ndiigbo. It reduces federal allocations to Nd'Igbo. Anioma shares the federal allocations to Delta state. Anioma controls Delta state. Anioma State in the Southsouth is of more advantages to Nd'Igbo than Anioma State in the southeast.

Anioma currently has 1 senator. If Anioma becomes a state, it will have 3 senators which means more Igbo senators. If Anioma can have 3 senators instead of 1 when it becomes a state, what stops Anioma from having more representatives? Which state in Nigeria has 3 or less representatives? None. So what makes you think Anioma will remain with it's current 2 reps when it becomes a state?

Amah70:
But I explained it clearly.
There are two federal constituencies in today's Anioma, though one has dissociated itself from the proposed Anioma State.
There are three federal constituencies in Orlu senatorial district. If you make Anioma's two federal constituencies become the 6th state for the southeast area, the entire Igbo has lost representation in Abuja central government, lost Federal allocations, lost Federal projects, lost places in Quota System, etc.

There is no state in Nigeria that can have just 2 or 3 representatives. Even if Orlu state is created tomorrow, they will definitely have more representatives and may have to create new LGAs, same applies to Anioma. Anioma currently has 1 senator but if it becomes a state, it will instantly have 3 senetors, 1 to represent Ika, 1 to represent Ukwuani/Ndokwa and the final one to represent the Enuani people (the main Igbo people of Anioma). If the state will have 3 senators upon it's creation, what makes you think it can't have more representatives?

You also mentioned a representative of Anioma has rejected Anioma state as if NdiAnambra will accept that Orlu state.

Ever8090:
mumu,..who told the governor not to develop the place,? I only expressed my feelings.

Now that the place is the way it is, those guys are happier, healthier than people in the so called developed places, all this is because other people like Igbos have not really mind to take things we know they are good at the place, ones development starts the Igbos will move in and the next thing will be,.."sometimes South Africans can tell you better😁

Trash. Your Benue is recording more deaths than even the Boko Haram infested states. Focus on Benue and leave Nzam for the Anambra people. Nzam is occupied by Igbo and Igala people and the area is peaceful and will continue to remain peaceful.

Amah70:
You should have written why what I wrote is falsehood.
I repeat so that you people of "Biafla or death," "no lefelendum no Biafla" will understand; understand that the Reps of Orlu state plus the existing Reps of Anioma area go to increase political representation for Nd'Igbo in the NASS, FEC, application of Quota System, it increases Federal allocations, Federal projects; etc, to Igbos. But Anioma as sixth state for the southeast decreases the aforementioned advantages to the Igbos.
Understand??

How does it reduce it?

Ever8090:
lol ... choosing to call their king igwe for a reason best known to them is stronger than their obvious heritage abi?....their food is nothing close to Igbos, their old ones bears igala names if this too you feel is nor stronger than naming their king igwe which any tribe can decide to do so, then something is wrong with your reasoning

This small boy get out of this place. So the governor should ignore those communities because of their supposed Igala ancestry? Why do I share country with people like this for goodness sake. I don't blame you sha. You said you are from Benue, a state that lacks major development similar to neighboring Kogi so development is alien to you guys.

Ever8090:
i don't actually reply people without common sense abd just discover you ars one of those which is why i wont discuss with you any further ....some people rely mumu for this life oooo

Please get lost and keep your stupidity to yourself. Imagine a reasonable human being telling the governor of a state to keep development away from communities to avoid breakdown of peace? Does that even make sense? Clowns always ranting rubbish on Nairaland.

Amah70:
Reps of Anioma plus Reps of Orlu state increase political representation for Nd'Igbo in the central govt.
Anioma as sixth state for the southeast actually reduces political representation of Igbos in the central govt. You know this. But because your sort want Orlu senatorial district to remain in Imo state is reason you root for Anioma.
Intelligent by half.

You have been repeating this falsehood in every thread. Please rest. Anioma state is a much better option than Orlu state.

Ever8090:
I think he is right, I did a school project in one of those community, "Owelle and Inoma, I hope I got those spelling right...there local government headquarters is in a town called Nzam...they are actually Igala but they do claim Igbo and I used to laugh them for that how I noticed that they are originally Igala is because, their older men and women answers Igala native names, but the younger ones answers Igbo names and speaks Igbo fluently.
They have that chronic Igala tongue.

During raining season, you can't access those villages by road, they use boat to Onitsha, and you can use boat and get to a town in Delta state across the river Niger and find your way to Asaba.

I wish those people are allowed to live their peaceful life the way they are, they are very happy and healthy, they lack nothing and are far better off tjan those living in developed towns...I never locked my door even at night,.the day they had a festival and some guys came fron Asaba and mixed up them, that was the night o lost my android phone the suspect was an Igala boy who was an idiotic migrant.
When the news got to the ears of the igwe, to my suprise they did a town cry and announced that that phone should be returned because it belongs to a stranger.....but it was never returned anyway...

they farm yam, pepper, rice and they have a lot of ogbono trees....they have soo much fish, and those people are in fact the most hospitable people after the people of benue state where I come from .
They are soo nice that after my project ended, I felt like not leaving the village.

They have farming camps far away from their settlements, life in those camps is something if you experience you will never want to leave the place.

Seriously, if I get money, I am going back to that place to visit some friends I made among them

I have never seen such hospitality in my life before, the day I left the village, I was shedding tears as old as I am😁

When I got back to port Harcourt, it took me time before I stopped wishing that I shouldn't have left the place.

Unfortunately, the contractor I worked for ate my money to the tune of 1,167,400...... Over a million that was all I worked for ...

I must visit that place again and this time I pray God bless me financially so that I can show a lot of people love in that town, may God bless them and keep them safe ...

Long epistle to defend backwardness. One day BBC will investigate these communities and release a damning report on the state of underdevelopment in these communities. It is still you guys that will come here and mock Anambra. Please keep your epistles to yourself.

thesicilian:
You don't know the level of peace that a village without government interference and outsiders with the criminality that usually follow many of them enjoys. Till date I still prefer my village as it was in the 80s even without electricity and tarred roads. Then you could remember on your way to the farm that you didn't lock your door at home and yet continue on your journey without fear of break ins. You could even sleep outside at night on your balcony without fear of robbers.

Lol. No wonder you guys celebrate brown roofs and backwardness as your heritage in the west side. Having good schools and hospitals in the village will not make the village less peaceful. The people of Nzam and other nearby communities deserve development so please keep your mindset to yourself. The governor has promised them good roads and hospitals and he will deliver.

Soludo Has Shattered Records And Made History As Anambra Takes Number One Spot In Nigeria’s Fiscal Transparency


With Soludo’s exceptional track record, expertise, and unwavering commitment to fiscal transparency and accountability, it comes as no surprise that Anambra State has achieved the remarkable feat of being ranked number one in fiscal transparency in 2024.

These significant recognitions showcase the administration’s dedication to transparent budgeting, accessible e-procurement portals, fiscal reporting, and the integrity of the state’s website. This reaffirms Soludo’s stature as a paragon of good governance, financial prudence, and fiscal integrity.

Ndi Anambra has also witnessed the administration’s impactful efforts in prudent public resource management. For instance, government offices in Anambra were spending N137 million each month on cleaning public offices until Soludo assumed office and promptly slashed the cost to a mere N11 million per month.

Anambra currently boasts the fewest political appointees across the country, and there is no official convoy for the governor’s wife. It is imperative to align with the standards of the people we govern, ensure accountability, and eliminate unnecessary expenditures and inefficiencies.

Soludo's cost cutting initiative is commendable but, I feel we need to have these cost cutting initiatives enshrined in the laws of Anambra state. The fact that Soludo brought down the cost of public office cleaning to 11 million does not mean his successor can't raise it back to over 100 million.
The government should speak to the house of assembly for limits to added and backed by law to ensure successive governments don't ruin this good initiative. It is similar to what happened in Abia in regards to life pensions for previous administrations. Otti refused to pay pensions to the previous governors when he assumed office. He then proceeded to ensure that the law was passed banning all previous governors from getting life pensions. Now compare that to Peter Obi and Anambra. Peter Obi rejected all the pensions and gifts he was given after he left office which was commendable but the governors after him will still get life pensions because there's no law preventing life pensions for previous governors of Anambra. So it will be nice if Soludo can compel the state assembly to pass laws to ensure that all governors of Anambra cannot exceed a particular threshold. He can tie the spending amount to inflation or any other thing, he is an economist so I expect him to know how to do that.

ShinnBet:
The ICC is issuing warrants of arrests on Israeli leadership and war cabinet members.

Countries are severing ties with Israel.

The IDF has been exposed as a weak bullying force that only knows how to target women and children.

The Houthis have effectively blockaded the Red Sea of all Israeli shipping .

Hezbollah has depopulated northern Israel of illegal Jewish squatters and the iDF has no clue on how to respond.

The Iranians have displayed their capabilities in striking Israel from over a thousand kilometers away thereby debunking the myth around Israel's Iron Dome missile deterent system.

The political atmosphere in Israel has never been so divided with most citizens directly blaming Netayanyu and his Likud terrorists.

More Jews are emigrating from Israel never to come back with zero Jews making aliya to Pissrael.

It's over.

Pissrael has expired.

Sooner , the world will convene and declare that Israel having nukes is an existential threat to global peace and humanity and from there heap heavy sanctions on that apartheid genocidal state.

@bolded, the ICC has not approved any arrest warrant. The warrant was only proposed and passed awaiting approval. And for the records, Israel is going no where. We are closely watching how you hypocrites applaud Russia for annexing sections of Ukraine while you conderm Israel.

What's all these nonsense self. Some people are selling their children for millions of naira, others are splitting human parts and selling them cheaply. What kind of country is this?

After criticizing Peter Obi for establishing Hero beer, they will go in and drink Goldberg lager beer because its produced in Lagos and Ibadan.

Hypo people

Don't do this here. Just leave the thread for them.

Slytiger:
The ones that have more states, what's the use of those additional states. All these state creation is just to loot Nigeria more by creating more governors, senators, Representatives, deputy governors, and state house of assembly members, commissioners, special advisers e.t.c. e.t.c

Looting or no looting, let the South East get a 6th state or better still, let's merge the states in other geopolitical zones together so every zone has 5 states each. Merge Bayelsa with Rivers, Ekiti with Osun etc.

Amah70:
Selfish
Because you are from Anioma and want to cheat the southeast with your kite of rejoining Igbos into one zone. Once you get Anioma State as 6th state in the southeast zone, you have reduced the representative strength of the Igbo in Abuja central government.
Do you not understand that even the 12 local government areas in Orlu zone is big and populated to form a state? Bigger than Anioma in population and landmass, assuming land mass or population is a yard stick to create states, but are not.

Let's look at it from an unbiased point of view. The only benefit Orlu state gives the Igbo people is equal representatives in the Senate and house of representatives. On the flip side, Anioma state has far more benefits:

1) It brings together the Igbo communities that were separated from the Igbo heartland in 1939.

2) Just like Orlu state, it gives the Igbo people equal representatives in the Senate and House of Representatives.

3) It adds about 2 million people to the population of the South East thereby giving us a huge boost during elections.

4) It will also increase the landmass of the South East.

5) 6 out of 9 local government areas in Anioma have Oil and Gas, Anioma state will add more wealth to the South East unlike Orlu state that has always been part of the East.

The FG should also be ready to grant the ones below their states as well. Whatever is good for the goose is also good for the gander. 🤷🏾‍♂️

As long as every geopolitical zone has an equal number of states, it is fine by me. One zone can't have 5 while others will have 6 and 7.

Senator Ned Nwoko in a recent gathering of Anioma people openly asked if they agreed to join the East and they excitedly screamed YES!!!

So he asked if anyone was against it and no one responded.

This is why Ndigbo should never take online trolls and imposters seriously.

My people are happy to be part of the south east and look forward to mutual development across the board.

All these ones na just lip service. The Orlu bill has passed 1st reading. What I expect Ned Nwoko to do now is to call for a meeting between the Representatives of Delta North, the representatives of the Anambra South and Orlu area and Ohaneze Ndigbo to discuss this issue. The Orlu bill should be recalled at the House of Representatives and the bill for Anioma state be passed both at the Senate and House of Representatives at the same time. As an Anioma son, I have always prayed for Anioma to be part of the South East and this opportunity is fast fading away due to the passing of this Orlu state creation bill.

Okechinwadike:
Hmmm I don't know that you ve gone to five eastern states before. please do me a favour use Google ask the smallest states in Nigeria that will end our argument

No need arguing with you. You have google and Wikipedia, search it up and clear your ignorance.

Okechinwadike:
have you gone to all the state in igbo land before? why igbos be una problem? who unite this country self? why de hate dude?

Every thing na hate to some of una. Which eastern state is larger than Bayelsa? None. Eastern states are just lucky to have more productive residents and better leadership than Bayelsa.

SoNature:
Considering how tiny this state is and the amount that comes in in federal allocation, Yenagoa should be finer than this.

Bayelsa tiny? Bayelsa is larger than all the Eastern states just that they have a large number of unproductive residents.

Eyinmba should be fined for this. The way their players reacted after the penalty call made it look like they were cheated by the referee which prompted the fans to disrupt the game. Though I love this game. This is how Nigerians should always support our local football. Come out and fill-up the stadiums and cheer your favourite team.

Putinofrussia:
Ibadan city continues to be more developed than the entire SE Igboland.
Kudos.

Lol. With this useless and ugly aerial view in the images above. God forbid. Don't ever compare this nonsense above to the South East again please. See the terminal building looking like a warehouse where they store tomato paste Poor design taste. Even the photographer has refused to show the aerial view of the entire environment

Thormentor:
By average

SE 11.1/5 = 2.22

SW 16/6 = 2.66


wait let's conduct census you can then wail and rationalize why SW has 16M Poor people..




for now your crying and justification is good that's why you people have been going down . excuses!!!


what changed?.
you people once said SW is the most Urbanised region due to landmass
SE which is the most Urbanised by PERCENTAGE is not

what changed?

so you now agree SE is most urbanised region?

God will bless you. The same people that don't like hearing "percentage" are now talking about percentage

seunmsg:
Put it in percentage for better comparison. What’s the percentage of those in poverty to the overall population of each region. That’s how to compare and analyze data. A region with barely 20m people with 11m in poverty cannot be claiming progress over a region with over 40m people with 16m in poverty.

Wow. What a useless hypocrite. So percentage is now a valid means of measurement? Just wow. The last percentage showed that the South East had 49% and the South West had 50% poor people. Go and verify. Both in share population and in percentage, the South East has less poor people.
