Tensions are rising in Enugu-Agidi community, Anambra State, following the arrest of Chukwudi Tansi, a palace guard accused of gunrunning, kidnapping, and other crimes. The traditional ruler, Igwe Michael Okekeuche, and the town union president, Hon. Ebuka Onuorah, are at loggerheads over the arrest. The controversy began when Tansi was recruited into the community vigilante group despite objections from the town union president and other stakeholders. Tansi had previously been arrested in April 2024 for unlawful possession of firearms and was released on bail allegedly secured by Igwe Okekeuche. The traditional ruler has denied any ties with Tansi, while the town union president claims there is evidence of their relationship. The situation has been exacerbated by accusations and counter-accusations between the two leaders. The town union president has written to the governor, requesting protection due to threats to his life. A security consultant, Chris Adigwe, has called for an unbia...

For years, the people of Enugwu Agidi have suffered under the tyrannical leadership of Igwe Enugwu Agidi. His refusal to keep agreements, constant fighting with President Generals (PG), and alleged protection of known criminals have brought nothing but chaos to the community. We recall the outcry when Governor Obiano dethroned some traditional rulers, and our stance was clear: our traditional institutions should be respected. However, it has become evident that some traditional rulers, like Igwe Enugwu Agidi, need to be held accountable for their actions. The election of Hon Ebuka Onuorah as President General has been a beacon of hope for the community. His efforts to sanitize the system and restore security have been met with resistance from Igwe Enugwu Agidi, who allegedly continues to protect criminals to undermine the community's progress. We commend Governor Soludo and the Agunaechemba group for their support in bringing peace to Enugwu Agidi. It's time for Igwe Enugwu Agi...

  By Adaobi Nsofor  In a smart move to improve the energy and gas sector of the state, Anambra State Government has declared its intention to partner with GasInvest Limited, a consultant company to Shell Nigerian Gas. The Chief Executive Officer of GasInvest Limited, Mr Michael Faniran, during his courtesy visit to the MD/CEO, Anambra State Solid Minerals Development Company Limited to discuss the Gas and Power Infrastructure masterplan for Anambra State, noted that in developing the Anambra State Energy and Gas Masterplan, some data and inputs need to be captured as the project is data intensive.  He said that a lot of inputs needed to achieve results are categorised into two, which is to actually get the quantum of energy demand in terms of today's demand and the projected demand for the next 20 to 30 years, and secondly, to know where these demands are located.

By O'star Eze Twenty-five years ago, the Children of the Farmers Club (CFC) presented the AgroTechnoCraft Village Model to the Nigerian government as a solution to Africa's socio-economic problems. The model won the 1999/2000 Commonwealth Africa Regional Youth Service Award, which was received by then-President Olusegun Obasanjo. Despite promises to implement the model, it remains unadopted. Nigeria was meant to be the flagship country for the model's implementation before its expansion to the rest of Africa. In an interview with O'star Eze, the founder and president of the CFC, Comrade Christopher Ndubisi Okwuosa, expressed frustration at the government's inaction. Okwuosa explained that the AgroTechnoCraft model promotes agriculture, indigenous technology, and craftsmanship, aiming to create a production-based economy where every individual contributes optimally. He emphasized that the model would address unemployment, youth restiveness, and crime by providing gai...
