What Is Really Going On In Anambra State These Days? by onumadu: 1:46am On Oct 31, 2021 |
Okay, I’ve had it! What is really going on in Anambra state? I come here to nairaland to read up on events, and all I see are deaths destruction and all kinds of images alleging almost anarchy and bedlam. One of my contractors ( a non-Igbo) calls me and tells me that his workers who are working in Anambra state now are frightened, because according to him, “tension is too high in Anambra now”. But then I call my friend from one of the core Anambra towns, and he told me that he and his buddy are somewhere attending “uka mgbede” “na enweta onwe ha na one nkwobi side”, and this was in the evening, and in one of the alleged “hot spot” town in Anambra state! ![]() His own account is quite interesting, because he delivered it in a figure of speech saying, “the story that it rained is true, but the story that it rained so much that graves where excavated, is a lie”. ![]() Nna, amarozikwa m nke m ga eso eso o! ![]() How can there be so much dissimilarity or dissonance in information about Anambra state these days? What is really going on? Please, if you are in Anambra state now, could you please give us an unbiased account of the security situation in the state now. Thank you! Meanwhile I can't wait for this election to pass so that we separate the wheat from the chaff. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Thank you so much for this question. At least as a true son of the soil, let me clear all this brouhaha and propagandas. Am from Anambra as you asked (Agulu town) and for the recent, I still reside in my hometown for a project. The Anambra State I do see in nairaland is not the Anambra state am actually living in,I mean they are very much oecumenically apart. There was attack on security personnel but the issue is just between the security forces and IPOB and not the mass. I can boldly say this......."Anambra is calm"...but when it will not be calm for you is when you want yourself to be noticed". There's this moniker in nairaland that most of post about Anambra is just to cause tension....... oyigboupdate. My state is cool but anything that tries to deviate it from the coolness is what do lead the tension itself. 28 Likes 1 Share |

Sergio101: Sounds like the Anambra I know. ![]() So, why would someone not from the state say that "tension is too high in Anambra now"? What could be his motive? Is he just afraid because he is not a local? You are spot on about the contributions of oyigboupdate to this whole confusion here in nairaland. 6 Likes |

onumadu:Anambra state is very ok . Just make sure you don't follow any poliician around or go to political rally. Dont talk trash about ipob and dont wear party cloth. Dont campaign for anyone. If you are a security officer dont make the mistake of coming out with your uniform You will be fine. Ipob does not distop any body 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Sergio101: Lies. Anambra is slowly becoming a shadow of itself. From 6pm to 7am if you are not indoors, your name will be sorry. The crime rate is too high as people are robbed in broad daylight. I spent a week in Anambra this month and I was unable to do what I came for due to the insecurity. Both Igbos and non Igbos are scared. Everyone I talked to doesn't hide the fear they have in the turn of events in the State. Most People have relocate to the neighbouring States while others permanently relocate to other regions. 7 Likes

pointblank247: But from what u are saying, ipob does disturb everybody. Clearly they are the ones murdering politicians and security personnel. Yet people will come online to claim DSS. I've always said, terrorism cannot fester without the connivance of the public. Anambra will be the melting pot for eastern doom. Make una de take una future de play. The seeds being sown today will be reaped by your future generations. Borno will be a child's play. 13 Likes |

onumadu: Anambra has never been a peaceful State even before this IPOB, ESN and Unknown Gunmen activities started. That's why there is zero night life in towns like Onitsha. Even in broad daylight, you can be robbed in Onitsha. This has always been the case before IPOB came. 8 Likes |

Knowing fully well that following their abysmal performance, APC under the leadership of Buhari has decided to take power in any state of interest by force! Using the Nigerian Army and the state resources to harass and kill harmless citizens all in the name of fighting God knows what! We all saw it happened in Kano, Imo State... When he is true, I doubt any state will be spared! If you say that he's heading for a one party system, you might not be wrong cause some of those PDP governors are already his stooge! He plays them like the game of chess! Wike is the only PDP governor who has by far stood up to him! We are watching! 3 Likes 1 Share |

Bighead9: I was following your points until I got to the bolded words and I started to suspect that you may not really be speaking the truth. Did you read the original post on top very carefully? In the original post, I stated that someone in a major city of the state told me that he and his friends were enjoying themselves in a local nkwobi joint by the time I spoke with him, around 9 -10pm. That is why I became confused, because it is not rhyming with what people like you are saying here. BTW Anambra people would NEVER relocate to another state or region. To go and do what there? Go hustle? Yes! Relocate? NOPE! Ogidi hosts the largest building materials market in the whole South east and south south and even north central. And it is booming. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Bighead9: The bold words which is a clear lie gives you out now as a biased commenter. Anambra has consistently been the most peaceful state in old eastern region, until now. Unless you mean the petty pick pockets and "ndi okulu" that steal cellphones at main market and ose. How can that be used to equate and paint the whole state as a violent state? We are talking about killings, which is totally new to Anambra state. 2 Likes |

blackpanda: You are on point. Borno will be Childs play compared to Anambra, if the activities of IPOB is not halted. And the entire East will be affected. I'm based in Owerri and I know what's going on in the EAST. They think they are doing Buhari, the North or West, but they are doing themselves. DO YOU KNOW THAT, OVER 99% OF THE ATROCITIES, KILLINGS, ROBBING AND OTHER CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES OF IPOB ARE NOT REPORTED? The few ones you read on the pages of newspaper or the ones Oyigboupdate post here are less than 1% of what's happening in the EAST. Since IGBO thought they are doing Buhari and the North and they also assumed that, Buhari and the North are presently feeling the pains. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 6 Likes

pointblank247: This seems like close to the truth, but still, I know that APC held their rally this week and party chieftains were moving about in party garbs. They even had masquerades in the rally! haha ![]() You see why I get confused? One thing I know is that even ordinary private securities and vigilantes these days walk on eggshells. Most don't move in their marked vehicles. My confusion with your statement is that, you said people are fine as long as they don't speak "trash about IPOB", but then you turned around to say that IPOB disturbs nobody.

onumadu: Your coment is a clear indication that you've not been to Anambra in the last ten years. DO YOU KNOW THAT, ANAMBRA HAVE THE RUTHLESS AND WORST AGBERO IN THIS COUNTRY? They extort and steel from traders with no resistance from anyone. Before 7am and after 6pm you won't see anyone on the streets. Cause you have 101% chances to get Robbed or used for Rituals at that time. That's why Anambra has zero night life. By 6pm all shops are locked and everyone locked himself in his house. This has always been the case years before now. 4 Likes |

"They" have finally arrived! udele, Dhurry, Oyigboupdate ... other agents of satan, arriving one after the other. If you are from Anambra state, live in the state, and you know that these people are lying, better speak up now because the state clearly has very wicked enemies who want to spread as much bad news as possible to drive away business from the state. Just imagine the international airport that was launched yesterday, it was launched by the state governor alone. Nobody from the "center of unity" came. That speaks volumes. |

You condemn anyone that knows and say the things that happens in reality in the EAST.

onumadu: Look at what you are saying. You even proof that the State is not peaceful. Your friend is bragging that he and his friends were able to drink at a particular joint till 10pm. This is just one amongst the hundreds and thousands of joints in Anambra who don't operate beyound 6pm. If Anambra is peaceful, your friend won't say what he said. But I urge IPOB to continue what they are doing in the Anambra since you claimed that the State is peaceful. Besides, its Buhari and the North that are feeling the pains as, IPOB kille and destroy IGBO land. ![]() ![]() ![]() 3 Likes

onumadu:do you leave people who talk trash about you. Political rallies still hold but I was just trying to make you know that it is a dangerous place to be. Pure and confirmed fact is that there are two UGMs The Fulani UGM that go about killing prominent igbo people like Dr Akunyili to cause confusion in Igbo land . Then there is the people's UGM that target people they refer to as "SABO" I personally watched some Fulani UGM gin battle with the Nigeria army at afor Nnobi junction on Friday. They were pure Fulani, even one was caught alife. 3 were shot dead when they ran out of ammunition. The pictures are all over the net |

pointblank247: The bolded is why I asked the question, and also why I said that your comment confused me a little. Aren't people free again to say their minds in Igboland? Has it ever happened that Igbo stop holding opinions, differing in their opinions, and still going about their normal businesses freely and safely? When did holding a contrary view start meaning death sentence in Igboland? As ezigbo nwa afo Igbo, I understand our dilemma as a people, but we should never lose who were are in the pursuit of whatever goal. Hopefully when Kanu is released (he is a fierce republican who believes in total free speech) he would denounce and distance IPOB from all those killing others for holding contrary opinion. In Igboland "Oha ka". ![]() That is what makes us Igbo. |
