… pay more attention to COOUTH/Amaku, other health facilities in rural communities – Okeke
Following discovery made from the biometric (clock in) devices installed across government-owned facilities by the Governor Chukwuma Soludo administration to monitor activities of health workers, the state government, through the Ministry of Health, has stopped salary of a medical officer for absconding from his duty post.
Commissioner for Health, Dr. Afam Obidike, who disclosed this on his Facebook page, explained that on visits to Comprehensive Health Centre Awkuzu in Oyi Local Government Area, it was discovered that the Chief Medical Officer in charge of the facility (name withheld) only attended work once in a week, reason he instructed Dr. Adaobi Igwebuike to take over as the new Chief Medical Officer.
Dr. Obidike expressed regret over nonchalant attitude of some health workers in discharging their duties, especially those in government hospitals, and reemphasized that monitoring activities of health workers is never meant to witch hunt anyone, insisting that it is the duty and responsibility of the government to ensure that people have access to quality, affordable healthcare in all government-owned hospitals.
He warned that going forward; any hospital that fails to meet government standards, the person in charge would be stepped down with immediate effect.
The Health Commissioner further explained that the reason Dr. Igwebuike was directed to take the position of the CMD of Comprehensive Health Centre Awkuzu was because of her dedication and commitment to duty in the hospital, which he said that people working at the facility can attest to.
At General Hospital Enugwu-Ukwu in Njikoka LGA, the Health Commissioner expressed joy that health workers at the facility were at their duty posts attending to patients; even though he did not inform them about his visit.
He reiterated the commitment of the Soludo administration in repositioning the healthcare sector of the state, urging all healthcare givers to double their efforts so as to meet the daily needs of people seeking medical attention.
Commissioner Obidike promised to continue his unannounced visits to government hospitals; so as to fish out health workers who earn salary without working.
Reacting to the development, a Facebook user with the name, Basil Okeke, urged the Commissioner to pay more attention to Amaku (Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka), and other health facilities in rural communities.
He alleged that the hospital (Amaku) has the pride of being the worst medical institution, as they display nonchalance and unprofessional acts with pride and disgust.

Those with political power today don’t know what God has done for them especially when such power comes from the people. Political power is to be deployed for the good of the people,to inspire the people into productive society. Good Governance is not about building 5-Star hotel ,it is not about building 20 bridges , it is not about building 1000 kilometers of roads , it is not about extorting tax payers to increase IGR. It is not about random and selective empowerment of youths and vulnerable . It is much more especially when the majority of the masses are suffering !
Good Governance is about paying living wage. It is about recognizing and rewarding good behavior and using the instrument of government to go against fraudulent and dishonest people ( ensuring that law and order is maintained all the time) , it is about caring how people put food on the table ( setting up farm settlements in every senatorial zone) , it is servicing the mental health of the people ( through the Governor words of hope on regular basis) .
Good Governance is about intervening in high cost of housing ( government housing scheme), it is about modernizing our hospitals and schools in practical terms with world class equipment(s) and first class service delivery.
Government creates economic prosperity in every society and in return , people will support their Government in every way possible . When people trust their Government,they can go to any length to protect and defend such Government. Our people don’t even expect too much from their Government.
Those in Government who patronize praise singers are trading in perishable commodities. Where is almighty Rochas Okorocha today? Where is the Powerful Wike with tens of bridges to his credit . The reality is that political power is transient! And those who are building political structures without the people will soon lose such structures immediately they are out of power.
We don’t need all the money we are accumulating! Our children don’t need them . They need little to be happy! Happiness is appreciating what you have and not what you don’t have.
Those who walk the street freely after they have left political power are blessed with peace of mind.
Do everything possible to win the love of the people.

A bill for a law to ensure the safety, health and welfare of factory workers and all persons lawfully present at factories and for other connected purposes have been read for the second time by the Anambra State House of Assembly.
The sponsor of the bill Mr. Golden Iloh while leading the debate said the bill seek to ensure that workers in different factories in Anambra State is provided with safety kits.
According to Mr. Iloh, the member representing Ihiala 2 constituency, different factories in Anambra do not protect their workers who inhale chemicals and are left on their fate; nobody bothers about what happens to them.
“These chemicals inhaled by this factory workers are dangerous to health. Most of them operate mechines with bare hands without protective gloves.
“As lawmakers, we owe our people a duty of speaking for them because many of them cannot approach their boss to demand for this kit for fear of losing their job. If passed into law, it will help to protect the lives of workers.”
Speaking in support of the bill, Mr. Nobel Igwe (Ogbaru 1), Mr. Nigeria Mbachu (Awka South 1), Mr. Obi Nweke (Anambra East), Mr. Patrick Okafor (Onitsha North 2), Mr. Emma Nwafor (Orumba South), Mr. Anayo Okpalaeke (Aguata 1) Majority leader, Mr. Ikenna Ofodeme (Ekwusigo), Mr. Tony Mobuike (Aguata 2), Mr. Chidiebere Ibemeka (Njikoka 1) and Mr. Fred Ezenwe (Onitsha South 1) in their seperate submissions maintained that the bill would save a lot of life if passed into law.
“It should be a culture to be kitted with every safety gadget while working in a factory. All safety precutions and provisions should be provided.
“Safety devices such as hand gloves, boots, helmet, nose masks amongst others are vital for factory workers. This is important because the hazards they face has effect on their life spin if not handled very well.
“If a factory worker is not provided with the necessary kit to do their work, there is every tendency of accident. Some get their fingers cut during production and no compensation.
“Fire extinguisher is important also because of fire outbreak. We need to think about the safety of our people. There should be an insurance to back them up.
“Some are working in a high temperature environment and their cells have been condemned and their life expectancy is in jeopardy.
“Some are been discharged and replaced immediately after any incident. The welfare of factory workers is important and will be addressed by this law.
“This bill bothers on the safety, health and welfare of not just factory workers but also aim to protect both the employer and employee.
“This bill is also aimed at domesticating the employment law because when you move round Anambra and beyond, you will discover that there is a lot of issues in our factories.
“Before a contract is issued to an employee, the employer have to make sure that all safety measures are in place. It will encourage workers in discharging their duties.
“There is need for safety training and the emergency action plan such as first aid but
unfortunately, the jobs of factory workers are not guaranteed,” the lawmakers maintained.
The speaker Mr. Somtochukwu Udeze referred the bill to the joint committee on Health and Committee on Commerce, Trade and Industry.
The House adjourned to Thursday February 1, 2024.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has commenced plans to comprehensively “decongest” its head office. This initiative, contained in a circular dated 12th January 2023 from the director of the human resources department to all staff is designed to align with building safety standards and enhance office space efficiency.
The circular noted that the decision was prompted by safety concerns, increased health and accident risks, and the need to comply with building regulations, following repeated warnings from the facility manager and recommendations from the committee on decongestion of the CBN head office building. Here’s a list of departments moving to Lagos: 1. Banking supervision 2. Other financial institutions supervision 3. Consumer protection department 4. Payment system management department 5. Financial policy regulations department.
At least 1,500 members of staff from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) are set to resume work at its Lagos office this Friday, having been redeployed from the headquarters.
The move follows the decision of the new management to relocate select CBN departments to Lagos for reasons including staff safety, increased productivity, and decongestion of the head office.
An official from the apex bank confirmed the plan, telling Punch, “Yes, the plan is still on, and they will resume work by February 2, which is the first week of next month.”
The decision to relocate departments such as Banking Supervision, Other Financial Institutions Supervision, Consumer Protection Department, Payment System Management Department, and Financial Policy Regulations Department to Lagos has faced criticism from various quarters.
The CBN justified the move by citing the need to align the bank’s structure with its functions and objectives, redistribute skills for a more even geographical spread, and comply with building regulations.
A memo issued to staff read, “This is to notify all staff members at the CBN Head Office that we have initiated a decongestion action plan designed to optimize the operational environment of the Bank. This initiative aims to ensure compliance with building safety standards and enhance the efficient utilization of our office space.”
Despite opposition from Northern Elders Forum and other Northern groups, the CBN Governor, Yemi Cardoso, has continued with the relocation plan, aiming to reduce the HQ occupancy level from 4,233 to 2,733 personnel.
Sources indicate that some affected staffers have already started relocating to Lagos, with over 80% of the Banking Supervision Department and the Payment System Department undergoing redeployment.
Critics argue that the relocation could lead to increased costs, loss of talent, operational disruption, reduced coordination, regional economic disparities, impaired economic development in Northern Nigeria, and decreased investor confidence in the nation’s economy.
The role of mass media in the struggle for democratic Igbo society cannot be over-emphasized. For decades,we have allowed outside elements to tell our own story and determine our political, economic and cultural narratives. Main stream media platforms under strict control of Government and politicians have influenced and determined public opinion until the arrival of social media . With the arrival of social media , the media war to take charge of our own narrative has just started.
However, the mass media having fought for the nation’s independence stood diametrically opposed to continued military rule and insisted on the country’s return to civil democratic rule. To achieve this, the mass media extensively and effectively employed anti-military publications and reportage mostly at the risk of losing their lives to expose the evil and misrule of military rule in order to mobilize the civil societies against the military juntas. This resulted in series of episodes of mass protest, industrial strife, and civil disturbance across Nigeria by various civil society groups and labour unions. In spite of the hostile environment created by the military such as arbitrary arrest and detention of journalists, political assassination, extra-judicial killings, abuse of human rights, closure of media houses, seizure of publications among others, the Nigerian media kept its resilience in the anti-military struggle.
Therefore ,media is very big instrument to change any society for better.In the recent history when the agitation of Biafra started on the Internet radio, many took it for granted ,thinking that social media has no influence . Today, most States in south east have lost Mondays to sit at home because of power of media. We all saw how media was used to make fake news look real.
People were made to believe that Buhari has died . People were made to believe that Trump was supporting Biafra. The same media can be used to push a narrative that will change the society for better.Obidient Movement message of new Nigeria was sold to the entire Nigeria through media . Labour party without any elected public officer became a force to reckon with courtesy of social media.
This is where BVI Channel 1 comes as an instrument to market ADF – Youth League message . A message of hope to the present generation of Ndigbo and generation to come.
It is important to ask ourselves this question: what message is ADF youths selling to the Igbo public . As a media manager, I will go with a message that will give hope to our people – ADF Youths is here to build a modern Igbo society through Love.
The title above was what my wife confronted me with after the 5:30 am Mass on the 28th of January 2024 at St. Joseph the Worker Catholic Parish, Awka. As we were returning to our seats after the offertory, I encountered what I considered an offensive sight: a young man with long plaited hair. He appeared to be an exceptionally troublesome individual, with distrustful eyes. Deliberately, I decided to address what to me was the foolishness of his inverted sartorial display by asking him for his head covering, like other women.
After the Mass, while waiting for the Mass server to return my balance for the Fides newspaper that I had purchased, he approached my wife and requested her to warn me with these words: “warn your husband, tell him that I do not take nonsense.” I regretted not meeting him eyeball to eyeball. I would have engaged him in conversation, asking about his profession and other matters in a convivial atmosphere. “What did you do to him?” my wife inquired. Although she did not support me, I explained to her that the reaction of that young man brought me joy, as it indicated that my actions had an impact on him and would lead him to reflect in his saner moments. Conversion is a process that involves a chain of events— observation, rebuke, protest, reflection, and a gradual return to a sense of propriety. My wife was concerned because, according to her, when the young man spoke, his eyes flashed lightning-like Jove’s thunderbolts and seemed to pierce in all directions as if he would have fought me if he saw me.
As a chief executive, I have had the opportunity to invite some job seekers to my office. Interestingly, their dressing, confidence, courage, and even their demeanor are all part of the interview. Due to the inadequate upbringing of today’s children, you may find some of them attending interviews with braids and wearing suggestive clothing not realizing that no serious Chief Executive would procure temptation for himself. Unfortunately, this marks the beginning of their failures. This brings us to the fashion trends of today’s men.
Many years ago, when I met my former Rector in the Seminary, who was then the spiritual director, Msgr. Jeremiah Ikegbusi, he recounted how times had changed. He mentioned that during our time, parents raised children with proper values for their continued development, but nowadays, they bring up children without any trace of home training. This explains why irresponsible fashion trends are fully embraced today, unlike in the past when only a few followed such trends. What are the definitions of these fashion trends?
Today, in addition to poor behaviour and a total lack of respect, fashion is defined in terms of nudity. Like in Eden, our girls are mostly naked, and they do not seem to realize it. Once one opens some social media platforms, one is bombarded with all sorts of filthy words from those who are seeking followers. I was once shown a woman advertising what is now baptized as “ Kpekus”, as other wares are advertised! Why is it that only nudity and filthy language attract more followers than refined content?
We are burdened by an environment where characters like Bobrisky, who would have been ostracized in the past, are now followed and even defended by those who share his views. They often justify their actions with what they term “body positivity” and the freedom to choose what to do with oneself. If suicide is a crime, one not allowed to take one’s life, logic demands that one is not entirely free to do with oneself whatever one likes. What is particularly confusing in a country like Nigeria is that despite the laws regulating certain behaviours, law enforcement agents has yet to use Bobrisky as an example by arresting, prosecuting, and imprisoning him, thus demonstrating that society remains the custodian of its values. This suggests that even those who should enforce these laws lack values themselves or have grown insouciant. Daily, in the name of LGBTQ, some young men openly declare themselves as homosexuals and lesbians, and yet they are not only celebrated but also allowed to influence others. Instead of seeking meaningful ways to contribute to society, our people are seeking easy ways to make money through boisterous indecency.
Women are naturally distinguished by the symmetry of their figures, the gracefulness of their bodies, the length and waviness of their hair, and the pleasing lightness of their movement. When a man, like Bobrisky, unnaturally attempts to transform himself into a woman in pursuit of fame, something is clearly wrong with him. Our people will start naming white men and women that did the same as if they are stamps of approval.
About two years ago, I wrote and suggested the arrest of one “Onye Eze” Jesus for indecent exposure in the name of “Isa uchu.” I commended the Anambra State government, then under Gov. Willie Obiano, for promptly taking action, but I regret that he was not prosecuted and jailed. The current situation calls for drastic action. Why does the government allow charlatans like those at Oba,l and Asaba to continue deceiving the people? For the well-being of the society, the government should either look for existing laws or enact new ones to put an end to their activities. Why should a few renegades be allowed to lead the youth astray in the name of making money without working, by promoting terms like “Oke Ite,“ “Ibubo”, “awelle”, and the like? What our youth need is not foolishness but encouragement to be inventive, industrious, and thrifty.
That young man whom I asked to cover his head probably did not understand what he was doing. He likely braided his hair because others were doing so, without a moment’s reflection about propriety. The same goes for men who wear earrings. To illustrate how low their thinking is, the culture has been hijacked by individuals like them, mostly “keke” drivers, “agberoes”, masons, and others. Have you not noticed that many of them dye their hair in various colors, braid it, and generally carry themselves with an air of importance, as if they belong to the “ndi na amovu” forward tribe? Such individuals think they belong without realizing that such indulgences were already seen in the past and died out when such fashion failed the test of reason to be sustained. What is heartbreaking is that they are not enlightened enough to realize the folly of their actions.
Also on the rise are breast enhancements and related indulgences. I consider those who undergo any type of body enhancement, including buttock and breast augmentation, as suffering from low self-esteem—all of them. They are so fixated on these enhancements because they seem to be in vogue, without considering the regrets of those who underwent such procedures in the past.
Society should not allow those who are deceived or ignorant to persist in their madness in the name of fashion. They live under the illusion that celebrities like Flavour and Osihmehn dye their hair and engage in such inverted sartorial displays, as if their participation lends legitimacy to nonsense. The truth is that many of these celebrities are not at all suited to the dignity Nigerians attribute to them. Do these pointless hairstyles affect the quality of their music? Did musicians who gave the world timeless lyrics like Don Williams, Kenny Rogers, Osadebe, and Ebenezer Obe embrace such inverted sartorial displays? What about fiery lyricists like Smokie whose words were irresistible to the ears?
The current generation often fails to grasp that there is nothing inherently novel in their actions or lifestyle choices. Breast enlargement, homosexuality, lesbianism—these are not recent phenomena. There is actually nothing new under the sun. Many years ago, philosopher Aristippus advocated for embracing pleasure, epitomised by his motto, “I possess, but am not possessed.” Conversely, Antisthenes, the founder of Cynicism, emphasised stripping away material attachments to free the soul, as reflected in his motto, “I do not possess, in order not to be possessed.” He lived a modest life, prompting Socrates to jest about his apparent vanity. Diogenes, a staunch follower of Cynic doctrine, famously admired the simplicity of animals and sought to emulate it by living on the ground, subsisting on whatever he could find, and openly engaging in natural acts in plain view. Let our youth know that even going naked is not an innovation. There is nothing they do today that has not been done in the past. Society always provides us with the alternative of vice or virtue, but good sense, maturity, and discernment enable us to choose rightly.
Society continues to drift aimlessly; the tragedy is that most of those who should offer direction are themselves immersed in vices. During my undergraduate studies in Philosophy, Prof. Mmaduabichi Dukor conducted a thought-provoking exercise in one of his classes in Symbolic Logic. He singled out a student with dreadlocks and asked him to ponder how his parents would perceive his appearance compared to his peers. Such gestures can prompt individuals to reflect deeply on their actions and reconsider their inauthentic choices. Similarly, I hope religious leaders, like Reverend Fathers, can delicately address such matters, encouraging introspection. I have not heard any of them express disgust during mass as the number of male braided hair threatens to equal those of women. We must urge young people to uphold discipline in their conduct, moderation in their desires, and objectivity in their thoughts.
Have you observed how some individuals profit from promoting indecency and vice? Consider those who establish clubs and facilitate environments conducive to the exploitation of women as objects of desire or even prostitution. Despite the harm inflicted on countless lives, they ultimately profit financially. Is it appropriate for us to commend such individuals? Yet, sadly, they often receive praise and recognition in our society, which has a more negative than positive effect.
In conclusion, Msgr. Ikegbusi rightly lamented the decline in proper home upbringing. As a parent, it is crucial to reflect on what we are imparting to the next generation. What kind of society are we nurturing?
A judge of the Anambra State High Court, Justice Peace Otti, has threatened to stop sitting if the disobedience to her court’s orders continues.
Visibly angry when she entered the court on Thursday, Justice Otti of High Court 3, Awka Judicial Division, told lawyers and litigants that she had come only to announce that she had decided to stop sitting until proper explanations were given for the non-compliance with orders made by her court.
For instance, she stated that she had ordered against the further arrest of some litigants in a matter before her court. However, some police operatives from the Force Headquarters, Abuja, came around 8 pm, arrested the litigants, and whisked them away to Abuja, citing “conducts likely to cause a breach of peace.”
“I only came to inform you that I have decided to stop sitting because it is a waste of time for me to continue sitting when the orders made by the court are not being obeyed.
“This court made an order barring further arrest of some litigants in a matter before this court, pending the determination of the substantive case. Yet, some police officers from Abuja came without any court order and abducted these litigants, taking them to Abuja for ‘conduct likely to cause a breach of peace.’
“I have decided not to sit again until the Commissioner of Police in Anambra State, CP Aderemi Adeoye, comes and explains to the court why the police, who are supposed to enforce the court’s orders, are disobeying them.
“Nigeria has just become very lawless, and I am no longer ready to be wasting my time coming here to sit and make orders that will not be obeyed,” she insisted.
The second matter Justice Otti later entertained, after being persuaded by some senior lawyers in the court to sit, was the case instituted by the dethroned traditional ruler of Nwafia community in Njikoka local government area, Igwe Chijioke Nwankwo, challenging his dethronement.
Justice Otti had, on June 21, 2022, made an order setting aside the certificate of recognition issued to one Chief Dan Obelle as the monarch of the community by the immediate past administration of Chief Willie Obiano, and later made another order barring Chief Dan Obelle from parading as either “Eze/Igwe of Nwafia” pending the determination of Igwe Nwankwo’s suit.
Nwankwo, in his suit, named the Anambra State government, the Attorney General of Anambra State, and the Anambra State Traditional Rulers Council as defendants.
Contrary to the orders of Justice Otti, the Anambra State government has been according Chief Obelle recognition as the monarch of Nawfia. He even marked the “Igu Aro” ritual early this year, during which he conferred traditional titles on 40 persons, without the police arresting him for violating the court’s order.
Dethroned Igwe Nwankwo’s legal counsel, Chief C. J. Okoli Akirika, accused the state governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, of encouraging the disobedience of the court’s order by the continued recognition of Chief Obelle as Nawfia’s monarch by the government, despite the court’s order.
“There is no court order staying the execution of the order, and there is no appeal against the order of the court,” Okoli Akirika stated.
Meanwhile, Soludo’s Deputy Chief of Staff and Director of Protocol, Mr. Chinedu Nwoye, who hails from Nawfia, insisted in an interview that he would continue to accord Obelle recognition as the traditional ruler of their community because he (Obelle) is the person the state government recognizes.
“I am an official of the Anambra State government, so, as a government official, I am recognizing Dan Obelle as the traditional ruler of Nwafia because he is the person the state government recognizes,” he stated.
The Nawfia Igweship tussle has pitted the Commissioner for Local Government, Community, and Chieftaincy Affairs, Hon. Tony Collins Nwabunwanne, against Soludo’s Deputy Chief of Staff and Director of Protocol, Mr. Chinedu Nwoye.
According to sources, Nwabunwanne was not happy that Nwoye was using his closeness to Soludo to encourage lawlessness in the affairs of his ministry.
… describes govt act as wrong signal to investing public
… calls for the immediate sack of ACTDA boss, Onuko
The Biafra De Facto Customary Government (BDFCG) has called on the victims of the demolitions in Enugu and Anambra States to contact the group for necessary actions, saying that such malevolent actions; without following due processes, should not go unpunished.
It described the demolition by individuals purportedly acting as agents of the state governments as appalling, barbaric, unacceptable and against the principles of justice, and one that has also sent wrong signals to the investing public.
BDFCG, in a statement signed by its Spokesperson, Prosper Odinga, said the claims by government agents as the basis for the demolition of the over 20 buildings are unfortunately mischievous, adding that elsewhere, the government builds houses for the masses in a planned, ordered and coordinated manner, as against Nigeria wherein government agents collect bribes, supervise corruption and impunity, and at the same time, turn around to maintain law and order in the form of demolition of buildings at the expense of investors.
They charged Governor Peter Mbah to arrest all those behind the wicked act and expose their under dealings before the public to serve as lesson to others.
In Anambra, the Pro-Biafran group noted that the Member representing Awka North and South Federal Constituency, Prof. Lilian Orogbu, has condemned the demolition and burning of traders’ shops and goods by enforcement team from the Awka Capital Territory Development Authority (ACTDA), and called for the immediate sack of the Managing Director, Mr. Ossy Onuko, saying that several reports have shown that he does not have the right frame of mind to serve in any public office.
It questions why the entirety of properties in Biafraland have not been digitized, and emphasized the importance of ensuring that proper procedures are followed, saying “it is disheartening to see land speculators duping people in Biafraland when there is a government in place”.

BDFCG Stands Against Wicked Demolition Of Houses In Biafraland.
The Biafra De Facto Customary Government (BDFCG) vehemently condemns the appalling demolition of citizens’ properties in Enugu and Anambra states, orchestrated by individuals purportedly acting as agents of the state government. This barbaric action is unacceptable and goes against the principles of justice and fairness.
Upon investigation, it has come to the attention of the BDFCG that the developers failed to obtain the necessary approvals. Furthermore, certain locations within the estate were allegedly being used as kidnappers’ dens.
The claims by the agents of the State Government as the basis for the demolition of over 20 buildings are not only mischievous but also most unfortunate. Elsewhere, the government builds houses for the masses in a planned, ordered, and coordinated manner. Here, government agents collect bribes, supervise corruption and impunity, and at the same time, turn around to maintain law and order in the form of demolition of buildings at the expense of investors. This wickedness must stop!
Governor Peter Mbah must arrest all those behind this wicked act and expose their under dealings before the public to serve as a lesson to others who see wickedness as a means of survival. The Governor must note that these mindless demolitions of buildings without following due process of law have sent wrong signals to the investing public, and he must act promptly and decisively. In addition, BDFCG calls on the victims of the demolition anywhere in Biafraland to contact us for necessary actions, as such malevolent actions, without following due processes, should not go unpunished in Biafraland.
The BDFCG is also aware that the Member representing Awka North and South Federal Constituency in Anambra state, Prof. Lilian Orogbu, condemned the brutal demolition and burning of traders’ shops and goods on the 18th of January. This condemnable act was carried out throughout the Awka Capital Territory Development Authority (ACTDA), under the supervision of their MD, Ossy Onuko. BDFCG calls for the immediate sack of Ossy Onuko as several reports reaching BDFCG indicated that he does not have the right frame of mind to serve in any public office.
BDFCG questions why the entirety of properties in Biafraland have not been digitized, emphasizing the importance of ensuring proper procedures are followed. It is disheartening to see land speculators duping people in Biafraland when there is a government in place!
We urge the victims of bad government to reach out to the BDFCG, as we stand committed to ensuring a just, free, and fair society where every man and woman are treated equal before the law.
