The crowd held its breath as he delivered every line to perfection. Applause rippled through the crowd.  His performance came to a glorious end, drawing tears from the eyes of some people.

WHY GOVERNOR OBIANO IS COMMITTED TO TEACHERS WELFARE

 

The commitment of the governor of Anambra State Chief Willie Obiano to the welfare of teachers in the state is borne out of a deep understanding of their motivations and needs as a son of a Headmaster who is amongst the most dedicated group of patriots that made most of us who we are.

Hon Princess Chinwe Nwaebili in Atani, Ogbaru Local Government Area.

Understanding the True Import of Thai Trade Mission to Anambra State

Although the recent visit by a 30-man strong business delegation from Thailand to Anambra State has come and gone, the full significance of its five-day stay in what used to be the crime capital of South East Nigeria will linger for a long time to come.

 

For obvious reasons, the Thai Trade Mission to Anambra could be seen as the final proof that Governor Willie Obiano’s acclaimed exploits in ridding Anambra State of crime and criminal elements as widely reported in the media is no fluke. In a sense, it is the longest test of the efficacy of Obiano’s prowess in finding a lasting solution to an otherwise intractable challenge that had blighted the stated and stunted the economic growth of the entire South Eastern region for several decades. There is nothing hyperbolic about this claim. Anyone who is familiar with the economic map of Nigeria can attest to the pre-eminence of Anambra as a major hub of economic activities in West Africa in spite of the state’s profile as a crime-ridden wasteland carved into several fiefdoms by vicious gangsters.

2015 GENERAL ELECTIONS: HOPE RISES ON APGA CANDIDATES

In one of his many seminal essays on Nigeria, Chinua Achebe poignantly observed that “Nigeria is what it is because its leaders are not what they should be.” Indeed since Nigeria began its current democratic experience, one of the most crucial tests we have had to face is the quest for a responsible and astute leadership – a leadership that represents the best the country has to offer in the management of the affairs of men.

It is interesting to note that while the country continues its search for the right set of leaders that will consolidate its democratic journey at the national level, hope looms like a rain-bearing cloud in the regions. Not surprising, Anambra State is leading the charge in this regard. Perhaps it is in fulfillment of its position as the light of the nation, perhaps it stems from the pioneering role it has always played in the history of the country. Whatever it is; it is no longer in doubt that the fire of a silent revolution is presently aglow in Anambra State judging by the set of candidates that the ruling party APGA is presenting to the electorate in the coming elections.
