There is something I've been willing to find out in Anambra and I think this is the right time and place to ask my question.
For those guys who currently live in Anambra, do you guys usually see rice products produced in Anambra in the various markets across the state? Lagos state's Lake rice was recently released at designated stores in the state for sale during this upcoming Islam festival, I want to know if Anambra does the same or the rice products are always available all year round or they are only available on paper ( I mean scam ).

Anambralstson:

Lagos is repackaging Kebbi rice, Anambra is known for long grain rice farming and production in Nigeria, Anambra boasts of four major gaint Mills, with many local milling plants across various rice farming communities in Anambra, Anambra rice are very common in markets both shops, packaged and unpackage. Not Lagos seasonal selling of Lekki rice, especially Christmas and Ramadan periods, Anambra rice always available in the markets from January to December.

Very good to know. I know about the Lagos rice repackaging stuff and I consider that lake rice a scam. I only asked the question because I wanted to know if the same scam was also happening in Anambra and it's good to know that our local rice are always available in the market. What are the names of the local rice brands in case I want to buy one?

The recently launched oxygen plant is a commendable effort!

However, am i the only one that thinks they could have done a bit better with the building housing it.....it kinda looks like a family house! I don't know if the problem is with our gov'ts or just a lack of imagination on the part of our local architects!

Obiano Presents Over N700M Financial Intervention To Catholic And Anglican Mission Schools In Anambra
Anambra State Government has presented a cheque for four hundred and twenty- three million naira to Catholic mission schools, across the State.


Governor Willie Obiano made the presentation withnesed by the Archbishop, Catholic Archdiocese of Onitsha, Most Reverend Valerian Okeke at Basilica of the Most Holy Trinity, Onitsha.


The disbursement is for the four hundred and thirty-three Catholic mission schools in the State.

Governor Obiano, who directed all schools that have changed their original names to reverse it immediately, said that the rationale for reaching out to pupils is in line with government’s conviction that the formative years are very significant in their development.


In her speech, the Commissioner for Basic Education, Professor Kate Omenugha announced that government is building about one thousand, five hundred dormitories in all the technical schools, out of which the Catholic Church owned schools got two. Responding, Archbishop Okeke, who said that proper education is the best parents can give to their children, applauded the State government for its partnership with the Church which he noted equipped students from the state properly in representing Nigeria in the academic map of the world.


Also speaking, Chairman of the State Universal Basic Education Board, Chief Patrick Ugbaja said that the move is part of the State Governor’s yearly intervention for the provision of infrastructure, which he had been doing since the handover of schools to the missions.


He explained that the fund is a combined cheque for the 2017 and 2018 Universal Basic Education and Anambra State government intervention fund for them to continue to execute their action plans. The event was attended by Chief of Staff to the Governor, Mr. Primus Odili, Catholic Bishop of Nnewi Diocese, Most Reverend Hillary Odili-Okeke, Catholic priests, teachers and students, board members of PPSSC, ASUBEB and other education stakeholders among others.
In a similar development, Governor Willie Obiano has presented a cheque for two hundred and ninety-one million, nine hundred and thirty-seven thousand, one hundred and twenty-five naira to the three hundred mission schools owned by the Anglican Communion.


Governor Obiano made the presentation at St Andrews DCC, Nnewi withnesed by the Archbishop, Province of the Niger and Bishop of Nnewi Diocese, Archbishop Godwin Okpala.


The Governor, who said that his administration had disbursed over two point-three billion naira since inception, explained that the disbursement was aimed at ensuring that every child in the state acquires western education, adding that his administration will continue to provide assistance to all schools in the state.

Governor Obiano expressed optimism that more support would also be provided to the teachers and pupils in addition to toilet facilities, accommodation, teaching and learning materials for proper upbringing.


While calling for religious harmony and tolerance, Governor Obiano further explained that other denominations did not get such money because they usually run their schools on private status He expressed satisfaction that the initiative has paid off, as morals are now being instilled with academics in schools. Earlier, the state Commissioner for Basic Education, Professor Kate Omenugha, said the initiative had been accepted widely in the state.

Earlier, while recalling the era of decays in the state schools due to negligence, Archbishop Okpala stated that since the inception of APGA administration, Anambra state is well known for education, primarily because of the Governor’s vested interest in the church, affirming that the partnership between the church and the government is paying off credibly

Mission is the reason Anambra is top class in education in Nigeria. This system of running the schools through mission is something the rest of Nigeria should come to Anambra and understudy

Advantage of being predominantly Catholic

Not entirely true, Anambra is almost 50-50 dominated by Anglican and Catholic. You can hardly tell which is more. Both are competing healthily. Both have sizeable and almost equal number of schools, hospitals, universities, population etc

Abeg make una help me laugh oh, these are Peter Obi's achievements according to the midget liar and clown Valentine Obienyem his media aide, after 8 years as governor, during oil boom and good national economy. This is the achievements they are comparing to Obiano, who has virtually transformed Anambra to a frontline state in Nigeria today. I want to leave this here so next time any of the ignorant clowns will come here again to talk nonsense, I can refer them to this. Ndi ara..

For months now Allen Onyeama has been shouting himself hoarse that all over the world, gov'ts protect their indigenous airlines against bigger foreign competitors who are more often than not subsidised and supported by their various gov'ts. This is the case with Emirates, which curiously has recently been granted more concessions by the Buhari gov't even against protestations from local operators! So far, the Buhari gov't has ignored the pleas of Allen Onyeama for more federal gov't protection and support for local airlines in the face of unfair competition and lack of reciprocity from bigger foreign airlines operating in Nigeria!
