Are you this slow? I was responding to a sycophants claims that the man is not a "doer". When it is time for lifetime achievements, the man will tell us all that in a debate. FYI, Anambra is on the brink of collapse on Nairaland alone.

Mr Liar, these are some of his contributions.

Chief Willie Obiano is well-known Philanthropist. This is evident in the life-changing projects he has been a part of. These are a few:

Chief Obiano and the Wife single-handedly built the school fence of Father Tansi Memorial Secondary School with population of over 1000 pupils at Aguleri in Anambra State.
Chief Obiano is the Grand Pillar of St. Gerald’s Catholic Church Soluyi, Gbagada in Lagos State. This was in recognition of massive financial help by him and his friends in building the Father’s house and now the Church building under construction.
Chief Obiano and family support yearly the Saint Anthony Catholic Church in Houston Texas USA.
Chief Obiano for over 5 years donated 45 bags of rice yearly to widows of St Joseph Catholic Church Aguleri in Anambra State.
He is also supporting the Youths Village being constructed by Archbishop Valerian Okeke in Awka Anambra State.
He has also very generously donated funds in support of Catholic Church harvests both in Onitsha and Lagos.
He bought three brand new cars for three newly ordained Priests of Aguleri origin in 2008.

Efulefu, Is that the meaning of a philanthropist? He gave to this and that...Compare him and Mrs. Uche Ekwunife.

It really doesn't matter where you are from, that was a lame, backward and unfortunate statement. Nearly all the corrupt and incompetent people running Nigeria belongs to this or that religion, but religion has nothing to do with their moral behavior of prevent them from making Nigeria hell for Nigerians and the most corrupt country in the world...

you are a pure fool if you think you can successfully tell anyone online you don't know and you have no control over to shut up. probably in real life you may even be scared of speaking to me.

Sounds like you don't even understand what lifetime achievements means

Go around the South East, the list you made are things ordinary businessmen who are not even running for LGA elections do for their people without asking for anything in return.

To suggest that such are the list of achievements that should qualify anyone to be Governor of a state is as ridiculous as they come.

This is clearly another half-baked leadership about to be imposed on Anambra State

what a waste of space!

Let's not querrel over simple issues. I wuold subcribe to Obiano not because Apga is fielding him, but because by my personal metrix I consider him the lesser evil to anambra state. NGIGE is too mouthy, I repeat very very mouthy. The inability for Ngige to continue fighting @ the tribunal since he claims dat Obi did not win the previous election, instead he ran to senate. This is a clear show of a man that is hungry for power. Being in APC is another reason Ngige is likely to fail.Yes Ngige may be remembered for starting certain road contruction projects, but shouldn't credit be given also to Obi 4 the actual construction of most of those roads started by a another administration. A smart party should be thinking of wooing Soludo, Soludo may be the only threat standing on the way of APGA if a good party picks him up. If PDP is still thinking along Uba Andy, they are sitting on a long thinggggggggggggg.
Long live Anambarians
God bless Anambra

How will somebody dat came to Apga through the back door, with competition eliminated for him make sense. This reminds me of Daddy and Mummy arrangement for child. Am, i communicating?
The real losers here are Anambarians. Can u imagine Akwa Ibom without Godwill Akpabio or Lagos without Fashola?

Now imagine Anambra without Soludo in the nxt eight years going forward.

Whoever Peter Obi gets to replace him, will perform worst than Peter Obi. Apart from roads and budget church schools wat does Obi have to show in eight years apart from enriching himself, the ans is absolutely nothing.

Willie Obiano – Another feather to honour-laden cap
Posted by: James Eze in Columnists, Comments October 20, 2012

Chief Willie Obiano carries a spark that lights up any arena he enters like a burst of fireflies in a dark, moonless night.
And it has very little to do with his well cultivated sartorial style; or his regal carriage which was there long before he took his first chieftancy title. Nor is it his infectious humour and kindred spirit that strikes instant connectivity with anyone that comes his way regardless of age or class. Obiano is far more nuanced than that. And it’s all perhaps because the Aguleri high chief has managed to squeeze into one personality, as much complexity as simplicity.
Perhaps no one in recent memory closely approximates what Chinua Achebe may have had in mind when he choose the title, A Man of the People for his apocalyptic novel that prophesied the Nigeria Civil War as Chief Willie Maduabuchi Obiano. However, unlike Chief Honorable Nanga, Achebe’s central character in A Man of the People who was a noisy, flatulent politician who drew insincere adulation from his beggarly constituents, Chief Obiano who holds the title of Akpokuedike (loosely translated as the buzz of the warrior) is a brilliant banker and astute administrator who is well loved by his Aguleri people in Anambra State.
Essentially, the story of Chief Obiano is a tale of a life of solid personal achievements. Until recently, Chief Obiano was the number two man at Fidelity Bank Plc, as the Executive Director in charge of Business Banking after a glittering banking career that saw him rise through the ranks and heading virtually every important segment of the bank including corporate banking, non-bank financial institutions, treasury, foreign operations, oil and gas financing, telecommunications, aviation and several other businesses where he showed tremendous leadership skills and a rare people’s touch. Prior to berthing at Fidelity Bank, Obiano had had an auspicious beginning at First Bank Nigeria and Texaco Nigeria Plc where he was the Chief Internal Auditor for years.
At Fidelity, what mostly stood Chief Obiano out was his rare human touch; a deep connection with the people which resonated throughout the bank and a large reservoir of knowledge of the subtleties of banking and a keen sense of the present and how it connects to the future, which most bankers who have fallen by the way side never seemed to have. Obiano knew banking well enough to know that the banker’s reputation is like a house of straws; one bad move and all the years of struggle would go up in a plume of smoke. But Obiano left Fidelity on a high. He was well loved by the ordinary staff and respected by the management and the board. At the bank’s annual dinners and social events, AkpokueAguleri, as he was fondly called by friends and colleagues always stood out. Being a man of style, his remarkable haircut and aristocratic fashion taste always marked him out in the crowd. Smiling comes easy to Chief Obiano as does his hearty gentleman laughter that draws instant fellow feelings from the people around him.
Chief Obiano’s social skills were also well known outside Fidelity Bank as most of his closest friends are members of the armed forces, para-military, royal fathers, professionals like doctors, lawyers, fellow bankers and brilliant architects and engineers, among others. He is also deeply connected to the clergy and the church. Obiano is a devout Catholic whose commitment to the church is deep. It is perhaps ironic that a man with his high social skills and a profound love for tradition is also deeply involved with the church. It is all part of the high art of personality code-mixing which Obiano has perfected in his simple but complex personality.
Obiano’s involvement with the church began rather early. Following his early education in mission schools, Chief Obiano has never really strayed too far from the church. His keen interest in the church of Jesus Christ has led him into accepting different roles in the service of God including but not restricted to being the patron of Catholic Women Association, Missionary of St. Paul’s Society, Catholic Women’s Organization, Catholic Laity Council of Nigeria and the Grand Pillar of St. Gerald Catholic Church, among others.
All things considered, perhaps the most startling thing about Chief Obiano is his astonishing brilliance. For someone with his profound social skills, it is almost unbelievable to note just how acute his intellect works. Obiano holds a Second Class Upper Division in Accounting from the University of Lagos and an MBA in Marketing from the same school. He is a class member of the Harvard Business School and Stanford University, both in the USA. He is also both Fellow and patron of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN). In the course of his career, Obiano attended numerous courses including Credit and Trade Services at Citi Bank, New York, Treasury and Money Market at Northwest London, Emerging Markets at FIM Bank, Malta and Managing Integration Process at Houston Texas, USA in 2006.
As is the case with people who live a life of meaning, AkpokuedikeAguleri’s life is spiced up with numerous humanitarian gestures that heal the world. Obiano is a committed philanthropist, a cheerful giver who finds contentment in easing the pain of people in need. However, Akpokuedike has a different attitude to philanthropy – he never makes his interventions public. He likes affecting lives silently. Just recently, he made a bold intervention to alleviate the suffering of the victims of the flood that engulfed half of Anambra State.
There are times when Chief Obiano comes across as the quintessence of the archetypal Igbo man of means who delights in his largeness of heart to the people. He loves people and there is always something about him that draws people towards him.
Not surprising, Chief Obiano has been a recipient of many awards and honours in recognition of his eternal warmth, public spirit, candour and generous contributions to society. In May this year, Obiano received the honour of the 1stUSAfrica’s Distinguished Banker of the Year award in Houston, Texas, USA. In addition to being honoured by the people of Aguleri as the Akpokuedike of Aguleri Kingdom, Chief Obiano also holds the revered title of OtunbaAtayase of Ilemeso-Ekiti in Ekiti State. This later recognition from Oba David AdegboyegaOyewunmi (Fasemi II) of Ilemeso-Ekiti underscores his bridge-building capacity and a natural inclination to bond with people from diverse cultures.
Needless to say, more honours have continued to trail Chief Obiano. As the saying goes, if a man makes a better mouse-trap than his peers. The world would make a beaten-path to his door. People and society whose lives he has touched are beginning to look back in gratefulness.
It is partly for this reason and everything else that the Board of Governors and Trustees of Wisconsin International University, USA, has decided to confer on him, the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Leadership, honoris causa, today. It is a richly deserved honour for someone who has made his mark as a thoroughbred professional and as a man of means.
To some people, after a rewarding career in the private sector, this great honour would be the crowning glory of a life in full. But Chief Obiano’s incredible energy and pursuit of excellence will most likely not allow him any long lasting feeling of fulfilment. It is almost certain that AkpokuedikeAguleri will always find a newer and more challenging territory to tame and bring under his firm hands. Only time will tell.

Obiano: Seeking power for public good
Posted by: NGWU NWEZE in Politics 13 days ago

In this piece, NGWU NWEZE writes on the governorship ambition of the prominent banker and businessman, Chief Willie Obiano, and what it portends for Anambra State.
As the political rain-clouds gather in Anambra State, ahead of the November governorship elections, the already heated race recently witnessed a rupture, with the grand entry of Chief WilliemObiano, the colourful banker and oil industry chieftain, whose emergence has totally altered the political equation in the state.
The reason is not fare fetched. ChiefObiano carries a spark that lights up any arena he enters like a burst of fireflies in a dark, moonless night. The Aguleri High Chief who is also famously known as Akpokuedike Aguleri comes almost fully made with a rare combination of solid intellect and a common touch that makes many leaders wince with envy. His sartorial style and regal elegance easily stand him out in any crowd. His infectious humour and kindred spirit strikes instant connectivity with anyone that comes his way regardless of age or class. Obiano is nuanced, passionate and full of zest. In a nutshell, the Aguleri high chief has managed to squeeze into one personality, as much complexity as simplicity.
True, no one is born a king; but Chief Obiano’s leadership inclinations and abilities seem rather inherent. He radiates magnetic warmth that does not only draw people to him, but makes them willing to go the extra mile for him. It was perhaps this rare quality more than anything else that made his Aguleri people to bestow on him the title of Akpokuedike, which can be loosely translated as “the buzz of the warrior.” Obiano has the natural proclivity of an astute administrator and a man with an infinite business savvy.
Until recently, Chief Obiano was the number two man at Fidelity Bank Plc, as the Executive Director in charge of Business Banking after a glittering banking career that saw him rise through the ranks. Before his retirement, he headed virtually every important segment of the bank including corporate banking, non-bank financial institutions, treasury, foreign operations, oil and gas financing, telecommunications, aviation and several other businesses where he showed tremendous leadership skills and a rare people’s touch. Before he joined Fidelity Bank, Obiano had had an auspicious beginning at First Bank Nigeria and Texaco Nigeria Plc where he distinguished himself as the Chief Internal Auditor for years, driving change and initiating programmes that earned him the accolade of the top management of the global conglomerate.
At Fidelity, what mostly stood Chief Obiano out was his rare human touch; a deep connection with the people which resonated throughout the bank and a large reservoir of knowledge of the subtleties of banking and a keen sense of the present and how it connects to the future, which most bankers who have fallen by the way side never seemed to have. Obiano knew banking well enough to know that the banker’s reputation is like a house of straws; one bad move and all the years of struggle would go up in a plume of smoke. But Obiano left Fidelity on a high. Not one shred of scandal trailed his years as a top-flight banker. He was well loved by the ordinary staff and respected by the management and the board. At the bank’s annual dinners and social events, Akpokue Aguleri, as he was fondly called by friends and colleagues always stood out. Being a man of style, his remarkable haircut and aristocratic fashion taste always marked him out in the crowd. Smiling comes easy to Chief Obiano as does his hearty gentleman laughter that draws instant fellow feelings from the people around him.
AkpokudikeAguleri’s entry into the muddy waters of Anambraguber race did not come to many people who know him as a surprise. Close friends and interested observers always knew that his extra-ordinary people skill and leadership acumen would find him out. A close friend once told this writer that ChiefObiano had confided in him that the only way he would contest a political office was if his people invited him to represent them. It is evident therefore, that Obiano’s momentous entry into the race under the APGA platform was not spurred by any vaunting ambition, but one that is borne out of a desire to serve his people of Anambra North, who have never had a shot at the state house in Awka. Indeed there has been a legitimate clamour for fairness and equity in the political governance of Anambra State which has tended to preclude the people of Anambra North from the office of the number one citizen of the state since Anambra came into existence. This glaring injustice has grown in its lingering gravity in the acclaimed tradition of all injustices that do not lend themselves to peaceful burial. It is perhaps in realization of the grotesque obviousness of this imbalance in power that the ebullient governor Peter Obi of Anambra State is rumoured to have declared his intention to deploy his enormous goodwill with the people and ensure that a candidate from the neglected Anambra North succeeds him in office. That way, the genuine cries and supplications of the people would be pointedly assuaged.
Against this backdrop therefore, Willie Obiano’s candidacy is a bold answer to the clamor among his people for their best and brightest sons and daughters to file out for the highest office in the state. But people who should know are fully aware that Obiano is not just in the race to multiply the options of the electorates. AkpokuedikeAguleri never goes into any venture without adequate risk assessment and strenuous preparation. Indeed Obiano is fully prepared for the battle. What most friends and associates always marvel at is his astonishing brilliance for someone with his exceptional social skills.
Obiano holds a Second Class Upper Division in Accounting from the University of Lagos and an MBA in Marketing from the same school. He is a class member of the Harvard Business School and Stanford University, both in the USA. He is also both Fellow and patron of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN). In the course of his career, Obiano attended numerous courses including Credit and Trade Services at Citi Bank, New York, Treasury and Money Market at Northwest London, Emerging Markets at FIM Bank, Malta and Managing Integration Process at Houston Texas, USA in 2006.
Obiano is a bridge builder of sorts. His extensive contacts are almost infinite; spreading from an eclectic number of serving and retired top military brass, para-military and royal fathers to professionals like doctors, lawyers, fellow bankers and brilliant architects and engineers, among others. Obiano has immense goodwill among donor agencies and portfolio investors in the USA and Europe which he put to enormous use in the service of Fidelity Bank when the bank had successive public offers to rustle up fresh funds. It is believed that these same contacts will be useful when he assumes office as governor. Not surprising, Chief Obiano has been a recipient of many awards and honours in recognition of his eternal warmth, public spirit, candour and generous contributions to society. In May 2012, Obiano received the honour of the 1stUSAfrica’s Distinguished Banker of the Year award in Houston, Texas, USA. In addition to being honoured by the people of Aguleri as the Akpokuedike of Aguleri Kingdom, Chief Obiano also holds the revered title of Otunba Atayase of Ilemeso-Ekiti in Ekiti State. This later recognition from Oba David Adegboyega Oyewunmi (Fasemi II) of Ilemeso-Ekiti underscores his bridge-building capacity and a natural inclination to bond with people from diverse cultures. It is partly for this reason and everything else that the Board of Governors and Trustees of Wisconsin International University, USA, also conferred on him the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Leadership, honoriscausa, late last year. It was a richly deserved honour for someone who has made his mark as a thoroughbred professional and as a man of means.
AkpokueAguleri is also deeply connected with the clergy and the church. Obiano is a devout Catholic whose commitment to the church is deep. It is perhaps ironic that a man with his high social skills and a profound love for tradition is also deeply involved with the church. It is all part of the high art of personality code-mixing which Obiano has perfected in his simple but complex personality.

If you'r unable to impregnate your wife, you should take responsibility rather than blaming the guy next door for your predicament.

This attitude of blaming Abuja for what happens in APGA is ridiculous. It is the responsibility of the leadership of APGA to produce a candidate for the forth coming elections and they have done just that. If you dont like the candidate, then you should point your fingers in the right direction.

The president is not in APGA neither is he from Anambra so why should he take responsibility for the candidate APGA produced or failed to produce?

If other opposition parties produce candidates without input from the president AND stil win elections, why should that of APGA be different?

I will be the last Person to support APGA dis election.

I feel it necessary to resist Godfatherism in Anambra.

Why should wat Obi want count above the will of Anambarians? So, he can sleep better with the billions he stole from Anambra? So they can continue to steal from the coffers of the State?

Continuity of Obi must be resisted. Anambra needs something new like Soludo.

Where Soludo go we go. Soludo Kai anyi ga eso.

Wat is important right now is to secure a Candidate for the People that will deliver the dividends of Democracy.

Party is least important as Soludo after securing the Governorship can secure the party and the destiny and aspirations of the people.

He can even build a new Ndiigbo party. We must not rest until that which belongs to us is returned.

We did not elect Peter Obi to hijack our destiny and state.

Anambra is not a family business and Peter Obi must be held to account.

A fellow of ICAN, former executive director in Fidelity bank plc, that is the kind of profile Anambra needs as Governor not thugs.
