Obiano: Anambra People, This Is Wickedness

In the beginning, when we quoted from our usually reliable sources, what Chief Willie Obiano spends monthly on Champagnes, Anambra people were angry. The money per month was enough to rehabilitate more than five schools in a month.

Today, the man feels justified drinking champagnes because he now says he does not use Government money to buy it.

Our investigations show he was right. What our people do now is, having discovered that champagne takes Obiano prisoner, those seeking one favour or the other buys truck loads of costly champagnes for him.

The problem rebounds on the State. The greatest problem is not the money of the State he previously used to buy champagnes, but the fact that champagnes make him drink to stupor daily and consequently he works at 30 or less per cent of his capacity. Invariably, the State loses. When a mediocre works at 30 % of his installed capacity, it is dangerous for the state.

My brothers, it is wickedness for you to continue supplying him with champagnes. This is not about Willie, but about the good of our State. Stop now!

Anambra stops daytime cattle movement

The Anambra State Police Command yesterday announced the restriction of the movement of herdsmen in the state as part of measures to ensure peace between herdsmen and farmers in the state.

The Commissioner of Police, Mr. Hosea Karma, made this known after the joint meeting between the command and herdsmen in the state saying that henceforth cattle would only be allowed movement in the state from about from 8:00 p.m.


He stressed that the essence was to minimise conflict between the herdsmen and native farmers and urged the Fulani cattle herdsmen and host communities to allow peace to reign by cooperating and living harmoniously.

Karma warned that the police command would not spare anybody who tried to foment trouble in the state, adding that the committee had worked hard to minimise conflict between the host community farmers and cattle herdsmen for them to live harmoniously.

He also said that the committee which has amongst them, the State Security Council, representatives of traditional rulers, Presidents-General of town unions and other stakeholders, had since its inauguration on February 23, 2015, worked assiduously with the host communities and cattle herdsmen to ensure peace between them.

In his words, “We must live in peace together. If there is any problem, they should report to the appropriate authority. Nobody is allowed to take laws into his hands.”
