Obiano Relaxes Lockdown In Anambra, Asks Churches To Resume Activities by LORDofODDS(m): 7:53pm On Apr 25, 2020
The Anambra State governor, Willie Obiano, has relaxed the lockdown on the state and has asked churches to commence full activities.

The governor stated this in a broadcast to the people of the state on Saturday evening.

Before the Saturday broadcast church activities had been restricted for 14 days as one of the measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.

But on Saturday, Obiano asked the churches to resume full service, stating that the worshipers must wear face masks and observe the World Health Organisation’s guidelines about the pandemic during worship.

He listed the protocol to include regular hand washing, avoiding handshakes, application of hand sanitizers, and social distancing.

The Governor announced that movements around the state were not restricted, stressing, however, that all boundaries in the state remained closed.

He said, “All food and drug markets in the state are to open with immediate effect.

“I will meet with market leaders on Monday, 27th April, for further discussion. When to re-open the schools as well as when civil servants will be allowed to go back to offices will be announced soon.”

Nice one Obiano. That's Governor with sense and understanding.

Total lock down won't solve the problem.


That's the way to go. Let people start habits of following protective measures by wearing face mask and sanitising sinusoidally...

Church in Anambra is very powerful. Without church support, no politician can be governor of Anambra state. Obiano has done the sensible thing here. The people are itching to resume Church.

Risky gamble. Hopefully, the guys above me praising him won't be the first to blame him should things go sour( I pray it doesn't).



God help us all...


Modified : To the angry ones quoting me, This isn't the time to be overly emotional. No one's enjoying the lockdown but the truth is this is a matter of life and death. I believe we'll get over this soon and normalcy would be restored to the world but till then, you have a choice; stay at home or stay in a box(literally) sad. choice is yours smiley

At this point we need every state to try different approach, so we can see what approach is best for our situation and adopt it nationally.



Though there will be collateral damage, but need to start thinking outside the box now.

Those with little faith or those who weren't going to church before the virus came, can stay at home. Many Anambrarians agree with the governor that church should resume. Churches will be packed full tomorrow.

Nonsense... Anambra that is not doing any test..who knows how many people who have it already, even advanced countries are still on lockdown yet an erosion ravaged enclave like anambra with illiterate traders want to form macho

If anything escalates in Anambra hold that cursed Igala man from Aguleri responsible
