NOW THAT AKPOKUEDIKE HAS WON-WHAT NEXT?-Ndubuisi

By

-

I have no doubt in my mind that Gov Willie Maduaburochukwu Obiano is a child of circumstance. Everything worked in his favour!Nkea bu Nke Anyi ! Aha M efuna ! Ofe Nsala !  As the man ordained by the gods to correct the sins of our fathers,Obiano in his acceptance speech announced that his victory in the last Saturday’s poll belong(ed) to the Anambra people as a whole !

Time for campaign is over for good. Time for sweet talk and promises have elapsed, people are all eyes  to see action from the working Governor.I want to agree with Gov Willie Obiano that the last Saturday victory is for all of us as Ndigbo.

We expect government in action henceforth.We expect Gov Obiano to announce  stakeholders meeting immediately .He should start with the ‘prodigal sons’.These are those who reminded him that democratic power belongs to the people,the political traders and merchants! He should look for those who enjoyed Ofe Nsala on the election day.They contributed immensely to the success story as their indifference made the election manageable.Gov Obiano should go for the pro Biafran groups who took risk upon all odds to make open declaration for APGA .Gov Obiano has been holding meeting(s) with his party men and women,Community Leaders,Religious Leaders etc,such meeting has become a routine that he should think outside the box now to stop monetization stigma in Anambra Politics.This is the time to embark on massive voters education in all the communities in the State.There are about  2 million potential voters out there that did not partake in the last Saturday election.They have lost confidence in the electoral process and government insensitivity to the plight of the ordinary people.Ndi Ofe Nsala could cause future damage if an enemy armed them with voter cards in 2019! They can retire all the state Assembly Men in 2019 without releasing a single bullet as these are rare species that could not be bought with N2000.

This is the time to start building Government institutions. This is the time to allow masses to be part of the Government if actually the victory belongs to the people and not just APGA people.Let Gov Obiano announce a freedom square in Awka where citizen like me can easily go to vent my anger against Government policies or against extortion from  Government Officials.Afterall,Gov Obiano will not go for third term.Let this opportunity serves for legacy building.The Peoples General-Ezeigbogburugburu did not have the liberty of time to unfold his Ahiara blueprint.

What more? There are few things Gov Obiano can implement immediately to reassure all of us that we did not make mistake.

  1. Anambra can compete with Lagos economy if Gov Obiano can immediately automate the issuance of CofO of landed Property in major cities at a very cheap processing rate to activate consumption,savings and investment within the State.
  2. Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University tuition fee  is too high at above N80,000.The Working Governor can mandate the VC to be productive or resign.
  3. A model/technical / public schools at nursery/primary levels in Six Zones can reduce the high school fees from private schools and move our children from certificate tigers to our own Billgate.The cost of building a standard model /Technical school could not be more than N50M.
  4. Others are Farm settlement, Price Control Board as well as Marketing Board to stabilize the market prices.
  5. Most importantly, high quality human resources with proven track records should be considered to achieving immediate results. This is where Gov Obiano will have problem as many are called but very few are chosen. What of Corruption in public service –the fear for unknown factor among these appointees should be taken care of to enhance efficient service delivery.

 

What next will continue in the next edition as we are not only agitating but ensuring that our society is working by proffering solutions.

Most people wonder how rich men are made, some think of the fastest route to make money, which has resulted in tragedy than joy.

But I must say here that it is easier to be rich than being a poor. the solution is property investment.

While, many of South Easterners invests heavily in Western and Northern Nigeria, they forgot the saying that “Aku rue Uno, amara onye kpatara ya” You are only considererd wealthy when you invest in your own land.

This video says it all.

Happy viewing.

Biafra has Been Restored Without a Territory-Barr Emeka Emekesri

By
bvichannel1
-

It is my submission that the greatest mistake that Nigeria made was to have spared the remnants of the Biafrans alive. If Nigeria had annihilated the Biafrans in 1970 A.D., just as Rome annd Carthage in the third Punic war of 146 B.C., there would not have been any remnants of the Biafrans today to seek for the restoration of their ancient nation. In my book, “Biafra or Nigerian Presidency- What the Ibos Want”, I proved by documentary evidence that Biafra had existed as an ancient country in the Map of Africa for more than 400 years before Nigeria was created in 1914.

Today, we have restored Biafra as a people governed by their Elders under Customary Law but without a territory yet under Statute Law. Perhaps, many people do not know that Biafra has actually come into existence but without a territory. We are a people with defined identity living in a defined country under a defined de facto customary government but without a separate territory delineated by law. We have become a nation-in-waiting.

This has some implications in international human rights law which I shall talk about in due course. I have observed that many Law Enforcement Officers in Nigeria do not understand the law and may make mistakes if not properly guided. It has therefore become expedient for us to explain in detail the philosophy underlying the existence of the Customary Government of Indigenous People of Biafra.

Customary Government under the Nigerian Legal System:

In my previous statement entitled “Customary Government is Lawful in Nigeria”, I cited the provisions of the Nigerian Laws that authorize the use of customary law and sharia law to govern the people within Nigeria. The claimants in the Federal High Court Owerri known as Indigenous People of Biafra are governed under Customary Law by their Elders called the Supreme Council of Elders. The only limitation is that the people governed under customary law and sharia law are not sovereign but remain under the sovereignty of Nigeria. But they have the right to govern themselves as a people within Nigeria. After the war, the Biafrans were scattered like sheep without a shepherd. Their republican and individualistic nature made it more difficult to gather them together. Their political enemies made matters worse by sowing discord among them, creating enmity among them, planting political stooges among them, and empowering traitors to rule over them. The Biafrans became hopeless and helpless in the midst of enemies within and without. Even among the pro-Biafra agitators, they started calling themselves bad names such as traitors and betrayers as nobody could trust anybody again. This was the situation before the lawyers and the elders joined the Biafran national liberation struggle.

The first action taken by the lawyers was to anchor the Biafran independence movement upon the rule of law and diplomacy. As Biafra is not yet a sovereign nation, it can only sue or be sued in a representative capacity. This was why the Indigenous People of Biafra sued Nigeria by the human rights organization known as Bilie Human Rights Initiative. This human rights organization is registered both under the Nigerian Law and in the United Nations as a legal entity. It has been granted the ECOSOC status in the United Nations with three seats in the UN Headquarters in New York, Geneva and Vienna. This is the organization that champions the Biafran liberation struggle by the rule of law and diplomacy. The human rights organization is different from the people it represents just as an attorney or agent is different from his principal. It is different from the Customary Government of Indigenous People of Biafra and cannot take over the government of the people otherwise its acts would be ultra vires.

The meaning of Governor Obiano’s reelection-Chuks Iloegbunam

By
bvichannel1
-

Anyone asked the impact of Governor Obiano’s victory in the November 18 gubernatorial ballot in Anambra State could answer with a single word: Crushing. He won in all of the 21 local government areas of the state. His closest rivals came up in dismal second, third and fourth places. The combined total of the votes garnered by the rest of the 33 candidates managed to hit the hundreds. Significantly, ex-Governor Peter Obi, the godfather of PDP candidate Oseloka Obaze lost in his Anaocha local government area. Mr. Obaze himself lost in his Ogbaru local government area. His running mate, Mrs. Alexandria Chidi Onyemelukwe, famed daughter of Dr. Alex Ekwueme, lost in her Nnewi North local government area. The string of tragic losses is bewildering. APC candidate Tony Nwoye lost in his Anambra East local government area. His bankroller, the tycoon Arthur Eze, lost in his Dunukofia local government area. The loquacious PDP campaign director-general Joe-Martins Uzodike lost in the polling booth in front of his Awka-Etiti house. Indeed, APGA is a party of giant killers. All their opponents were buried in a landslide!

Anyone asked the meaning of Governor Obiano’s reelection could answer by saying that, “One good term deserves a second.” They would be right. But such an answer pleads for amplification. My younger sister, Mrs. Anne Offor, phoned to say “Congratulations.” In the small talk that followed, she said there was never an impulsion on her part to listen to the diatribe on radio that passed for political campaigns. She had no cause to attend an Obiano rally. She saw no point in busybodies preaching to the converted. She knew that her vote was for Obiano. Why?
My sister’s answer was the same as proffered by thousands of retirees in the state. With an honours degree in Mathematics from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, she went into teaching the subject at secondary school level. When she turned 60 during March 2017, mandatory retirement beckoned. “I got my gratuity less than two months after retirement. I’ve since been regularly and promptly collecting my pension, while in many other states workers are committing suicide for non-payment of salaries,” she explained. “That settled it for me. No further campaigning was necessary. My vote was for Willie Obiano.”
Willie Obiano is an empathetic leader. He is on record as saying that it was sinful not to pay workers their salaries as and when due. Even before becoming Governor, he turned over his vast estate in Aguleri to relief workers for the accommodation and comfort of flood victims. As Governor, he established proper platforms for giving a meaning to the lives of the physically challenged. Those with shattered limbs were fitted with prosthetic alternatives. Those with the necessary qualifications were given automatic employment. In discussions with him, he was always emphatic that governance had to run on the wheels of humanity. The problem of the collection of illegal levies and taxes was a knotty one. Yet he forbade the use of brute force on violators of the law. “No one should be hit; nobody should be beaten up. Offenders must only be arrested and prosecuted,” he maintained.
Governor Obiano has gradually been removing Anambra from the warp of kill, mangle, trample, strangle and obliterate. He has been building a kinder, gentler society way removed from the impunity of past unconscionable political leadership. He chased the kidnappers away, vowing to remain awake in order that his people would always sleep with both eyes wide shut! Rice, a staple food in these parts, always seemed like cultivated only for the affluent. He got his people Anambra Rice. He deployed time into ascertaining not just what the people wanted but, more importantly, what was inevitable for their individual and collective fulfillment.
The rational assumed that his second term of office was a fait accompli. The problems materialized precisely from that time in point. Those responsible for establishing a zoning system for the Anambra governorship seat to move in turns from one Senatorial district to another turned abruptly around and swore to disrupt and overturn the acclaimed arrangement. Politicians desperate to elude pursuers of ill-gotten lucre swamped what they tagged “Party of the National Grid” and vowed to orchestrate the very death of APGA, the only national political party rooted in the Igbo country. People deserving of checking themselves into prison for long stretches over multiple criminal infractions suddenly became the toast of expired politicians striking poses as kingmakers with oracular prowess. The din was overwhelming. The injustice was stultifying. From sunup to sundown they had a changeless song in their vocal cords – that of traducing Willie Obiano. If he spent a Kobo on a life-saving gadget for the State’s Teaching Hospital, they would post on the Internet that he had blown a hundred billion on choice wines. Even if he flew up to Abuja in a commercial flight and displayed his boarding pass for all to see, they would claim that he had chattered four aircraft for the 35-minute hop into the nation’s capital. The lies went ballistic on people’s senses.
There was also the sacrilege. They organized what was termed a political rally and used it to set ablaze bales of cloth bearing the image of General Ojukwu. Would anyone try that of Chief Obafemi Awolowo in the Yoruba country? Would anybody attempt that of Sir Ahmadu Bello in Arewaland? All sorts of characters deluged Anambra State, speaking at its people. The fact that Governor Obiano kept a cool head all through the impertinence and provocations, the fact that his people maintained the peace in the name of democracy, and the added fact that, in victory, neither Obiano nor APGA has been triumphalist, is a testament worthy of understanding. Anambra is not for pushing around. Ndigbo are not anybody’s second-class citizens.
The vanquished may now go into hibernation, licking their wounds, utterly humiliated, politically terminated, and their bloated egos comprehensively eviscerated. Governor Willie Obiano’s electoral victory means that the fate of Ndigbo is squarely in their own hands.

ANAMBRA: Yes, MOBIN has delivered! MOBIN Press Release on Anambra polls

By
bvichannel1
-
  • The Movement of Biafrans in Nigeria, MOBIN wishes to congratulate the All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA in Anambra State for defeating all the other political parties and getting Governor Willie Obiano reelected to power.
    MOBIN also wishes to thank Biafrans in Anambra State for heeding to its appeal that they participate in the elections and effect change through the polls, as a step towards the Biafra we pursue after.
    It is on record that due to the political education which MOBIN massively carried out in Anambra State, Biafrans who came out to vote yesterday were far more than those who voted in 2013. This affirmative statement of Biafrans yesterday has made nonsense of the reckless campaign by some groups for the boycott of elections in Biafraland.
    MOBIN hereby reinstates that until Biafrans massively pursue power through the ballot, using extant laws of Nigeria where we are still under, our efforts towards freedom will keep hitting the rocks.
    The political experiment which we started just early this year has proved to be a tremendous success, since we have been vindicated by the victory of APGA which we Biafrans threw our support behind in the elections. We have always known that despite the labeling of the name ‘Biafra’ an anathema, Biafra is our true identity, and is the deciding factor that will make us or mar us in our pursuit of power and freedom.
    We also want to use this medium to advise politicians and political parties, especially our earlier alliances that the time when the will of the people can be toyed with is gone. To be specific, the moment the United Progressive Party, UPP, betrayed the Biafrans, its fortunes went under. Today’s results clearly show that. You can no longer be able to decieve Biafrans and think you have succeeded.
    To Biafrans we say, viva! We will make the same kind of statement we have made in Anambra in the rest of Biafraland, come 2019.
    Signed,
    Rita Eberechukwu Anigbogu,
    Dire General, MOBIN.

OBIANO RAPS ANAMBRA PEOPLE:TIME TO BUILD A NEW WORLD…

Ndi b’ anyi, ekenem unu

With utmost humility, I stand before you to accept thehistoric mandate you have bestowed on me today!
Umu nnem, the victory we savour today belongs neither to Willie Obiano nor to our great party, APGA. No! This sweet victory belongs to Ndi Anambra!
It belongs to the wheel barrow pushers and the Okada riders who have clearly seen in our recent political experience, a glimmer of light in the horizon.
It belongs to the farmers in Ayamelum, Onono, Ogbaru, Omasi, Omor and Ufuma who have now realized that Agriculture is the future of Nigeria.
It belongs to the teachers and civil servants who have seen that a motivated workforce is the greatest asset of any government and have rewarded our faith in them with an overwhelming verdict at the polls.
It belongs to the illustrious sons and daughters of Anambra State who have seen the STAR of this great state rise in the Eastern Skies and have answered our call for Aku luo uno; bringing home their Naira and Dollars to put our dear state on the investment map!
This victory belongs to all of us! Umu nnem, this victory isnot a winner takes it all. For in the New Anambra of my dream, everyone is a winner. Everyone!
So, I reach out a hand of brotherhood to my fellow contestants…Oseloka, Tony, Osita, Godwin and others whose names I cannot easily recall here. And I say to you;my brothers, we have all fought a good fight. But Anambra State is the WINNER! The interest of AnambraState is bigger than the private ambitions of anyone of us.. Therefore, I pray you to join hands with me and build a better place for Ndi Anambra! Our beloved state needs our talent and our time. The time to build a better place is NOW!
Indeed, this victory is a referendum on the solid resolve of Ndi Anambra to rise above average in all we do. We have demonstrated that we are indeed capable of taking charge of our lives and making difficult decisions that will brighten the future of our children. I have no doubt in my mind that we shall continue to lay the building blocks for a prosperous tomorrow for all.
Ndi Anambra, this mandate is dear to my heart. I see it as a historic call to inspire my people to greatness. I see it as a call to deny myself sleep that my people might sleep better. Umu nnem, I will not give myself rest until our beloved state has fully assumed the status of the model state of Nigeria. This is my promise to you all.
Fellow compatriots, this victory did not come by chance. It is the final product of the combined efforts of brilliant men and women who sacrificed their personal comfort to ensure that Anambra’s steady march to progress is not derailed.
My first and deepest gratitude goes to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President MuhammaduBuhari for proving to Ndi Anambra that under his watch, democracy will sink deeper roots in the Nigerian soil. Mr President promised us a free and fair election. Today, we can all see that he has kept his promise. Thank you so much Mr President!
I must also thank the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for conducting what has been widely adjudged a transparent election in Anambra State. With this election, INEC has shown that it has fully braced up for the 2019 elections. Thank you so much.
I will also not forget the vigilance of the Nigerian Police, the Nigerian Army and other law enforcement agencies whose alertness ensured that the expressed will of the people was not thwarted. Indeed, you have done an incredible job!
To the indefatigable DG of my re-election campaign organization, Chief Victor Umeh, Ibobo Aguleri, Ohamadike! You and the entire Campaign Team have written your names in gold. My immense gratitude goes to every member of APGA, from the Ward Chairman to the members of the National Executive Council; you have made us proud! Chukwu gozie unu nine.
And to all the members of the Anambra State Traditional Rulers Council, all the PGs and members of the various town unions across Anambra State, all the Bishops, Reverend Fathers and Pastors, the members of the organized Labour, the youths of Anambra State, the traders, the farmers, the ordinary men and women who look up to government for a better day, I assure you that my team and I shall never fail you.
Indeed, Ndi Anambra, on behalf of my capable Deputy, Dr Nkem Okeke, I thank you all for renewing this mandate and I urge you to prepare for the speedy transformation of Anambra State into a prosperous sub-national entity in the next four years.
Umu nnem, we have stepped into our finest hour. We have finally hit the proverbial bend in the river. Our journey into greatness is now assured. We are ready and willing to work with anyone who has something to share that will make Anambra State great.
We are open to new ideas, new visions of society and a New Hope!
God bless Anambra State
God bless Nigeria
Dalunu.
Willie Obiano
Governor of Anambra State.

 

CG-IPOB CONGRATULATES GOV OBIANO

The Customary Government of Indigenous Biafra People, through the office of the Administrator hereby wishes to congratulate the incumbent Governor of Anambra State, Gov. Willie Maduaburochukwu Obiano, the good people of Anambra state, NDI-IGBO and the great Biafran people in general, for the success WE recorded at the just concluded Gubernatorial election in Anambra State.

The Customary Government of Biafra is very happy to be associated  with this success story and wishes to express our happiness to Ndi Anambra  for the upholding the ‘Igwebuike’ spirit of Ndi Igbo. Ndi Anambra have displayed to the world today the indomitable spirit of Ndi Igbo in defending our own.
It is our believe that NDI-IGBO need a platform to peacefully and politically project our case in Nigerian political terrain. The success of APGA in this election is to show to the world that the fire of hope which our Leader, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu has put in place must continue to be rekindled until we arrive at our destination.
The overwhelming support APGA received at this election by Biafrans that gave her the overwhelming victory is anchored on the belief by Biafrans in the pursuit of our self determination agenda through political process.
We therefore thank our Great Biafran Indigenous Community in Anambra State for responding positively to our clarion call to disregard any call from any quarter calling for election boycott. It is our firm belief that our victory in restoring Biafrans’ right to self determination must be done peacefully, politically and diplomatically.
We therefore call on all our Biafran people to rally round the Government of Chief Willie Maduaburochukwu Obiano and APGA in all the Biafran states in order to build a formidable structure through which our voice will be heard.
We, onceagain congratulate the good people of Anambra state and their Government for the job well done.
Thank you and God bless

Engr. Aniebue Anthony.
