Yoruba muslims have killed this country

The commercial nerve centre of Onitsha,
Anambra State was agog recently during the
inauguration of the 11th President of the
Onitsha Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines
and Agriculture (ONICCIMA).
At the event, the new ONICCIMA boss, Uche
Apakama, a renowned pharmacist and the
managing director of Pax Pharmacy Group,
promised to unite all chambers in Anambra
State to establish a single state trade-fair.
He said that he was seeing a situation where the
three chambers would have one-voice to
enlighten and unite traders and manufacturers
more.
Apakama said that the state should have a
unified trade-fair yearly, which would be tagged
“Anambra International Fair,’’ which would not
just promote trade and commerce but also
enrich the culture of the state
He said that the chamber would vigorously
pursue an effective and responsive leadership
guided by consistent interventions on issues
bothering on the business community in
Anambra and the entire South-East.
“I would make it imperative that all
industrialists, business operators, service
providers, market associations and professional
bodies in Onitsha and environs realize and
appreciate the need to belong to the chamber
so as to speak with a strong and unified voice in
matters of common interest,” he said.
The new chamber boss said that he would work
for the realization of the “the Four- Point
Development Agenda of Governor Willie
Obiano-led administration in Anambra State”.
He said that the chamber would relate with
relevant ministries, agencies, and departments,
as well as development partners to create
opportunities and assist in driving Obiano’s
dynamic developmental plan.
He said that the chamber would strive to play a
leading role in the drafting and fashioning of
Anambra economic policies by establishing a
formidable team of experts that would advise
and complement effort of the government.
“ONICCIMA under my watch is determined to
establish cordial working relationship with the
Anambra State House of Assembly in her
onerous task of giving good legislation to the
state, just as it will play an active role in
preparation of the state budget.
“ONICCIMA is equally poised to facilitate trade
in Onitsha and environs, we shall continue to
offer service like letters of reference and
processing of travel documents such as visas for
members seeking such.
“Our chamber in collaboration with NACCIMA
will provide opportunities for members in
international trade through trade missions in
and outside Nigeria and assist in reaching
bilateral trade agreement with interested
parties.
“We will aggressively advocate for the
development of Micro, Small and Medium Scale
Enterprises (MSME) in the state and work
towards being the focal point for the
development of MSME in terms of access to
funds, assistance with feasibility studies and
business plans,” he said.
Also speaking, the Director-General and Chief
Executive of Standards Organisation of Nigeria
(SON), Dr Ike Odumodu, challenged Igbo
traders not to compromise quality and desist
from importing into the country sub-standard
products from China and other countries at
cheap prices so as to make enormous profit at
the detriment of people’s lives and the local
consumers.
Odumodu revealed that when he visited China,
he asked them why they dump into Nigeria
products they cannot use in their own country,
and the Chinese told him that it was some
Nigerian businessmen who gave them
specifications in order to produce products at
cheaper rate for them.
He lamented that Nigeria lost leading multi-
national companies like Berec, Michelin, and
Dunlop, among many others, due to this
massive importation of cheap and substandard
products into the country.
He also said that this has made Nigeria to lose
opportunities to employ their teeming youths in
such businesses and local ones, stressing that
no nation can survive and grow to become
developed economy by concentrating in imports
as Nigeria is currently doing.
He then advised Nigerian businessmen to work
hard for their products to meet international
standard if they want to gain access to the global
market.
In his speech, the Anambra State Commissioner
for Industry, Trade and Commerce, Mr Ifeatu
Onejeme, said that declining oil revenue has
made it imperative for the diversification of the
economy, which he said Governor Obiano has
started.
He said that with the prevailing situation,
members of the chambers who are
entrepreneurs should see it as an opportunity to
join hands with the state government and the
governments in the South-East zone for
economic revival and emancipation.
Taking full cognizance of the dwindling fortune
of oil revenue in the country and the
deflationary effects of economic activities,
ONICCIMA called on the governors of the South-
East to step up moves toward creating enabling
environment for the promotion and growth of
export business in the zone.
The chamber in a communiqué issued after the
annual lecture series tagged: “The Onitsha
Perspective,” pleaded with President Muhamadu
Buhari not turn off his eyes on the 2nd Niger
Bridge project which was awarded to Julius
Berger by his predecessor, asking him to as a
matter of urgency complete the project.
The chamber also urged the governments of the
South-East states to fast-track the growth and
development of non-oil export business in the
zone, stressing the need for the state
governments to quickly revive, empower and
strengthen the committees on export in their
various states for more effective actions on
export business henceforth.
The communique was signed by the President,
Mr Uche Akpakama, the Director General, Mr
Dominic Ajibo and other top officials of the
chamber.
In a chat with notable transporter and the
Chairman of GUO Group, Chief Godwin Okeke,
he urged traders to think of diversifying their
businesses beyond buying and selling in order to
catch up with the global developments in
business.
He pointed out that businesses such as farming,
fast food, confectioneries and exportation are
currently paying off than importation because of
inflammation in exchange rate, high level of
competition among importers and fakery of
imported goods.
He regretted that Onitsha was yet to realize its
potential in business because of over
dependence on buying, selling and importation.
Okeke, however, noted that the security
challenge, which hampered and jeopardized the
potential and growth of Onitsha over the years,
had been resolved by Governor Obiano.
“The major challenge facing Onitsha is lack of
steady power; if not, the commercial city has
enough potential to catch up with Lagos and
other major commercial cities in the world. We
appeal to President Muhamadu Buhari to put
more effort on power generation and
distribution,’’ he said.
Okeke thanked ONICCIMA for organizing the
lecture, adding that the lecture was not just
thought provoking but also an eye-opener.

The way things are going in East, the North may wake up one day and see no trailer loads of cattle or livestock is heading to East.

East has embraced agriculture more than anybody, am still looking shaa.



For poultry farmers in Enugu State and the
South-East region – their major headache –
travelling far distances to get day-old chicks has
been completely cured.
Before now, the farmers had relied on
hatcheries in the South-West and other regions
of the country for their farms.
But last week, Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of
Enugu State and other relevant stakeholders
officially commissioned the ultra-modern
Animal Health Farms and Hatcheries, a
privately-owned hatchery built in partnership
with the state government through the
Commercial Agricultural Development Project
(CADP) and the World Bank.
The commissioning of the hatchery has seen
poultry farmers in the region now heaving a sigh
of relief.
This is as the hatchery, which is capable of
producing 30,000 eggs in a week, would reduce
the hardship experienced by poultry farmers in
the state and the South-East geo-political zone in
travelling far distances to buy day-old chicks
from other regions.
Speaking during the commissioning ceremony
and first roll out of Day-Old Chicks (DOCs) of the
hatchery, Ugwuanyi commended the
establishment, describing it as a laudable
gesture which would greatly enhance poultry
farming in the state.
The governor, who was represented by the state
Commissioner for Agriculture and Water
Resources, Mike Eneh, noted that aside
relieving poultry farmers in the state of the
stress of going to the South-West to procure
DOCs, the hatchery would also help in providing
jobs for the teeming youths of the state.
His words: “This is the second hatchery in the
South-East and also in South-South and from
what we have seen so far, I think people from
Kaduna and Kano also take their own chicks from
this direction. Apart from reducing the stress
witnessed while going to buy DOCs from outside
the state and the risk of transporting them,
another thing it did was that it reduced the cost
of day-old chicks from 250 to about 180. So, we
are quite delighted. We thank the World Bank
and commercial agriculture project for their
support in this too.
“Initially, poultry was nothing in Enugu. But
thank God that today, it has grown in leaps and
bounds, being the fourth in the country and
second in the South-East and South-South. Last
year, I recall that the net addition of the poultry
industry, outside hatchery, to the economy of
Enugu State is about 1.48 billion. The reason is
simple; Enugu has one of the best weather
conditions for poultry industry in Nigeria. So, we
hope to invest more in poultry production in the
near future.”
The governor also disclosed the state
government’s plan to initiate policies aimed at
the overall development of other areas of
farming such as cashew production.
According to him, “Enugu State has one of the
best cashews in the world in terms of quality.
There are two important things we need to do.
One is the aggregation center which we
proposed to build in Obollo Afor and the second
thing concerns geo-products.”
He said that he would “support any community
that is willing to give us land, so that we can
train these farmers, give them seedlings so that
they can plough them in five hectares as an
enterprise and also create jobs”.
Also speaking, the National Coordinator of
CADP, Dr Babandi Amin, praised the
management of the company for deeming it fit
to establish the hatchery, pointing out that it
would go a long way in boosting poultry farming
not only in the state but also in the entire
country.
Dr Amin harped on the need to sustain the
venture, saying that the issue was not really on
establishment but in making efforts to sustain
what was already on ground.
“We should also be looking at the results we are
getting. Are the results commensurate with the
inputs we are making or are they below the
expectations? We should also look at the
demand of poultry in the state and be able to
determine whether what we have on ground
already is meeting these demands or not. It is
when these things are considered that we will
be able to say we are reaching our goals of
making these poultry products available to our
people accordingly,” he said.
Also speaking, the Manager, Animal Health
Farms and Hatcheries, Dr Benjamin Oguejiofor,
explained that part of why the hatchery was
established was to compensate for the
treatment meted to day-old chicks distributors,
especially those from the South Eastern part of
the country by already existing hatcheries that
are mostly located in the South-West.
He noted that due to the fact that over 80 per
cent of the hatcheries in the country are located
in the South-West, people from the state while
going to purchase DOCs, usually involve in great
risks which he listed as threat to lives
occasioned by night travels, exposure to armed
robbery, road accidents, chick mortalities,
among others.
According to him, the vision of setting up the
hatchery was actualized with the emergence of
the state Commercial Agriculture Development
Project (CADP), which he said has played a great
role to seeing that the hatchery was established.
“The success story of CADP intervention is why
we are here today, to celebrate dream come
true”, he said.
While pointing out that the hatchery has a total
egg capacity for 95,040 with a multi-stage setter
capable of handling 30,000 eggs every week, Dr
Oguejiofor expressed hope that the hatchery
would not only provide poultry farmers in the
state with quality and viable day-old chicks, but
would also provide over 100 jobs mostly to
natives of Enugu State and others by extension.
He, therefore, called on the state government
and other relevant stakeholders in the state to
key into the idea of improved poultry
production in the state, adding that “if we are
able to improve on the little we already have
now, Enugu State will soon emerge as one of the
best states in terms of poultry production”.
Also commenting, the state Coordinator of
CADP, Mr Robinson Nduaguba, expressed
optimism that the hatchery was a sign of more
good things for farmers in the state, adding that
“this is a form of provocation to the youths in
Enugu State to go into a project that will keep
them very busy and make the state to be a food
security zone.
“I know that Enugu State is already creating an
enabling environment for private sector
investors and the example shown by this
establishment is quite challenging. We will do
everything possible to make sure that this
establishment doesn’t relax. Instead, it will
continue to improve and by so doing meet the
expectations of our people.”

OdenigboAroli:


Nnaa,you are completely misunderstanding me. We should focus on developing our region ,firstly.

You won't understand it, I know what am telling you.

OdenigboAroli:


If it's indeed true the leaders of the old eastern region voted for the idea than it simply means we didn't have smart people at the time because look at where we are , today. And only a ffoolish person repeats the mistakes of his fathers. You have no power in Nigeria and any little provocation you will be shot,so,what do you do. Be smart and stop getting emotional...I see the reality but you can't see it because you are still living in the civil war. Dude,we are nothing in this country and if you try to leave they will kill you....What's left.....That's where a creative mind comes in!

That means you have eliminated the republican nature of the Igboman.

Many people are in servitude in Nigeria but Igbos are the vocal because of their nature, look at your neighbour Niger Deltans they have turned prayer warriors over their God given resources, those in the West are vultures, the minority tribes in North are being use to enrich the soil nutrients yet they are not talking.

Ndigbo naturally don't need anybody lording over them reason why they mounted the greatest resistance against colonialism in Sub Saharan Africa.

They lack hierarchies and they hate royalties , Oba Akiolu hate them die

carnegiefan:


Nwanne what you are proposing is BIAFRAN stuff. No baboon can ever wrap his head around them.
I remain optimistic that in 2019, that somehow (maybe with concerted effort by RBL) we vote out all the Nigerians in SE at least.
IMO that is what Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB should target to do next.
All these governors have no legs if a sustained campaign is launched to discredit them.
We need closet Biafrans in their positions.

I just added polygamy but I know that one is no longer trending, you rarely see a polygamous family now in Igboland and people are reducing birthrate.

Igbo population should be decreasing, or at worst stagnant, we don't need t o many people around it will breed evil and other social vices due to lack of jobs and other social issues attached to over population.

Smaller but healthier families should be the anthem now.

NAIJASOM:



Great analysis....People like you gives me hope about our future.

Thanks bro, we need to raise the consciousness in Igboland, we need not Rochas, Obis or Obianos to make progress, we need Okparas, Mbakwes, Ibiams to set Igboland on a strong and solid footing.


Increase the consciousness decrease the number of household, Igbos need healthier households than populated cities, towns and villages.

If governments in Igboland will go on massive enlightenment campaign on the need to have smaller households of not more than (3) three children half our problems will be solved, stop polygamy, check teenage pregnancy and promote adoption, Igboland will be a 2nd world nation in 15 years to come.

Ban street begging, child labour, increase compulsory education and open more technical and vocational schools, ban street trading but increase agriculture and tree planting, promote sports and social activities and make sure the children always have one competition or the other to compete inorder to keep the busy.

OdenigboAroli:
If any violence breaks out Hausa will kill you and Yorubas will take over your properties and you will start all over again. Everybody need to wear their thinking cap....Lets develop Igbo land and control the economy and only then can we have a voice.

OdenigboAroli:


The love people have for Ojukwu is making them blind. Ojukwu shouldn't have declared Biafra....Call a spade a spade! The same way Nnamdi Kanu is inciting war and everybody is getting excited....Ogu bu onwu!

Oga Ojukwu didn't declare war, there was agreement in Aburi Ghana, everybody accepted the accord only for you to come back and rejected it.


There was an accord, brother, who breached it ?

chino11:
Nwanne please don't insult Odenigbo he is my brother. IPOB or MASSOB and their approach is very wrong and awkward that is why no sane and bright mind has ever identified with Uwazulike and Kanu in their voyage. I regard them as bandits.

The issue is that many of you don't know Ojukwu.

Ojukwu believed in Nigeria just like Zik but the Massacre of Igbos was the event that prompt for his leadership and he was already an administrator and one of the highest ranking surviving officers Igboland after the massacre.
Ojukwu believe in Nigeria just like Zik.

The core and unapologetic tribalist was M. I. Okpara, though he was a Zikist but doesn't give any fucck about whether Nigeria was burning or collapsing.

MI Okpara was the most uncouth and visible tribalist among them the reason why his development agenda benefited the entire Eastern Region. Okpara was outspoken against the Nigeria State, he rejected everything even where Zik would seek for compromise Okpara don't.

Even the mad Gambari prof Angl Abdulahi attested to it that Okpara was the biggest stumbling block in having a workable Nigeria.

Ojukwu's emergence was just by circumstance, he was not a tribalist but the massacre and FG silence brought out the beast in him.

Ndigbo need an MI Okpara not an Ikemba to move foward.

My best Igbo leaders.

1. M I Okpara.

investnow2013:
Boko haram might be evil but Buhari uses it to achieve the northern agenda!.Our increase population in Anambra State was not achieved by any govt but sorry to say it loud boko-haram did it!.Our people are too stuborn to listen!.We are here talking about Seaport or even international Airport, What can it take us to have them? Nothing!. Can Enugu International Airport work? Yes! & yes!!! Only if we want it to work!

Its only in Igboland that pure and undiluted Nigerians are found yet when the National cake is being shared they will always hold the wrong end of the stick.

Calling for killing of MASSOB and IPOB members is the most callous and most sadistic demand I have ever seen in my life

investnow2013:
Nationalism is the way for Igbos!....We are too Nigerian than our other brothers in the North & in the West to survive!.We should not be afraid when we have a Nationalist like Kanu Arises!.

Igboland can never develop with people like Obiano, Rochas and co. These goons are Nigerians , Biafra can only develop by electing core Biafrans who does not give a hoot about friendship across the Niger and carry out massive development for benefit of Biafrans not to as it pleases Nigerian.

We need core Biafrans, the current crop of Igbo leaders are nothing but birds of passage, Ohakim, Pita Obi and OUK with their massive investments outside Biafra won't go against the grain to make Biafra great, they will protect their business interests first before Biafra interests.

investnow2013:
Kanu.....Hatre Him! Like Him!..... He is doing something our so called Ohatulu failed to do!.We can see what mass media Kanu is using is making a great impact in re-awaking our people's consciousness that we have no other place than the East!

My brother don't mind these guys, they are too sentimental to see the impact of RB on Igboland. Loathe him or love him Kanu popularity is spanning wider than the seven seas, Kanu is a necessary evil that need to be there to checkmate the sabotuers and instill consciousness in our people.

Am not a big fan of his but he is doing his so its left for me to do mine.

Everybody must not be Booker T Washington, MLK or Jesus Christ

IGBOSON1:


^^^I reckon Obiano comes closest to that type of Governor of which you speak!....While Ochendo-Global features at the other end of the spectrum!!

Keep flattering this drunk, he was there ibaji people were beheading his kinsmen all he signed was to shoot Biafra agitator at sight.

I don't know any project this guy has started and completed for you to be adding all these bogus feathers on his unwarranted cap.

Tell me what this guy has done in Anambra State that made you see a model Igbo leader in him, jus name one tangible thing.

OdenigboAroli:
Whenever I hear MASSOB or IPOB I just get so frustrated,depressed and angry. You people are still suffering from the hardship Ojukwu dragged you in yet you scream for more. Sometimes I feel Igbos are too emotional a,d suicidal. Being i, Nigeria doesn't stop your development. If I were Obiano I would shoot any IPOB or MASSOB member on site! Do you know how pathetic it looks to see a person with Biafra flag My focus is in the advancement of Anambra. We don't IPOB or MASSOB to gbaa ndia ose n'anya! We need more people like Obiano....that's all and in ten yrs the route will be eastward!

Am very very disappointed with this statement of yours, your inciting Nigeria troops to shoot MASSOB and IPOB, these are someone's children, parents and breadwinners.
Have you seen Yorubas asking FG to kill OPC rather Mimiko told the world Yorubaland is safer in their hands, Buhari openly campaigned for Boko Haram while tagging every military clampdown on them anti-North, how many Niger Delta did you see condemn militancy but its only in Igboland that people like you and the drunk at Agu Awka call for the killing of Biafrans.

Am neither a member of MASSOB nor IPOB but calling for the killing of someone's children is the greatest evil I have ever seen when these groups are not armed.

Obiano called for killing of IPOB but Ibaji people were there beheading his kinsmen at Aguleri but he couldn't do anything, Boko Haram inmates were relocated to Anambra State under his watch yet he couldn't do anything until traders started agitating.

Its very very unfortunate how you guys are being this Nigeria, Anambras and Igbos in relation to others. Its stinks, its sordid and detestable which should be properly condemned.


Those who lived in stone houses shouldn't throw stones.

I saw where Chino was threatening MASSOB and IPOB people that if they try it in Anambra State they will be given Ezu River treatment, I felt like shedding tears, I was disappointed, I was devastated over the comment, kill someone else because you don't believe in his ideologies yet he pose no security threat to you.

We need to be recolonized once again
