🚨The Painful Truth: Ebonyi Deserves Better🚨

It is becoming increasingly difficult to understand the direction this government is taking. Every day, policies are introduced that leave many Ebonyians asking one simple question: Who is advising Governor Francis Nwifuru?

The decision to shut down privately owned schools is not only disappointing—it is counterproductive.

How do you close private schools in a state where most public schools are struggling with dilapidated classrooms, inadequate teaching staff, poor learning facilities, and an unconducive environment for children? If public schools were providing quality education for every child, perhaps such a decision could be debated. But that is not the reality in Ebonyi State.

Private schools are not the enemy. They have continued to bridge the gaps left by the public education system, providing employment for thousands of teachers and workers while giving parents educational options for their children. Closing them will only increase unemployment, worsen the burden on already overstretched public schools, and deny many children access to quality education.

I know communities in Ebonyi State where there are no functional public schools. I am aware of a community in Ezza that has been without a functioning community primary and secondary school for over two years. These are the issues demanding urgent government intervention.

Rather than shutting down private schools, the government should employ qualified teachers for primary and secondary schools, pay them living wages, introduce electronic attendance to improve accountability, renovate abandoned classrooms, build new school blocks where necessary, and work closely with traditional rulers, religious leaders, youth leaders, and community stakeholders to strengthen school enrollment and discipline.

The government should also collaborate with the State House of Assembly to enact and enforce laws against hawking by school-age children during school hours. Likewise, measures should be introduced to curb the increasing migration of minors by engaging traditional institutions, town unions, religious bodies, and youth organizations, while establishing functional skill acquisition centres across all 13 Local Government Areas to equip our young people with employable skills.

To those closest to the governor—his siblings, political associates, and advisers—this is the time to help him succeed through honest counsel, not by pursuing personal enrichment. Leadership is judged by the lives it transforms, not by the wealth accumulated by those around power.

Let me be clear: we are not enemies of Governor Nwifuru. We want him to succeed because his success means progress for Ebonyi State. But genuine love for a leader should never prevent us from speaking the truth. Silence in the face of poor decisions is not loyalty—it is betrayal of the people.

Finally, I urge every well-meaning Ebonyian to reject every campaign of intimidation, harassment, or suppression against opposition voices and government critics. Criticism is not hatred; it is an essential pillar of democracy. Governments that listen to constructive criticism become stronger, wiser, and more responsive to the needs of the people.

Ebonyi deserves visionary leadership, not policies that discourage investment, destroy livelihoods, and weaken our future. The time to rethink these decisions is now. History will remember not those who remained silent, but those who spoke up for the common good.

Nigerians, I Deserve Commendation and not Blackmail !

My story:

(1)
On 21st January 2023, one Barr. Nweke and one M/S Onyinye Ekwueme came to my office, and the Barr Nweke stated that his clients, one Chibuike Ekwueme and Tochukwu Ekwueme (brothers to the Onyinye Ekwueme), were arrested by JTF on 11th January 2023, and till today (21st January, 2023), they do not know their whereabouts. He also stated that money was being taken from his client’s bank account to the sum of over 100 million by unauthorised persons.

(2) When the lawyer and the sister to Ekweme came to my office, I took them before the AIG, Abutu Yaro. AIG Abutu Yaro then called CP Echeng Echeng, the Compol Anambra State and asked if an individual Chibuike Ekwueme was in their custody. The CP then said, let him find out and call back.

The CP eventually called the AIG back and said, yes, that the person was in their custody. The AIG queried, are you aware that money is being taken from the suspect's account and that the families are not even aware that they are in RRS custody?

(3)
The then AIG, then directed the Commissioner of Police (CP) to release OC RRS Awkuzu to come to him AIG so that he will interview him. When the OC RRS Awkuzu arrived at the zone, he met with me first as the ZPRO, and then I took him before the AIG for the interview.

(4)
At Zone, the OC RRS, CSP Patrick Agbazue, confirmed that suspects were with him and that he was aware money was withdrawn from the account and that it was stolen by the Youth Corps member serving in their office by the name Mr Nnamdi Daniel Emeh, aka Nelson.

(5)
I queried CSP Patrick Agbazue, who was in charge of RRS Awkuzu, about the whereabouts of the corper, Nnamdi Emeh. He said he was at large and nowhere to be found. The numbers were turned off except his WhatsApp app. I dialed his number; it was switched off. I called him on WhatsApp; he didn’t pick.

(6)
The lawyer provided all debit alerts from his client’s account, which he said were given to him by the account officer of the suspect, Chibuike Ekwueme.

(7)
He went further to say that they had gone to the Military and the DSS in search of them but couldn’t find them. The reason they were in Zone 13 was because the RRS Awkuzu refused them access.

(8)
My focus was on multiple options including getting the main suspect, Nnamdi Emeh whose whereabouts was unknown as at that time.

(9)
As the then Zonal PRO of zone 13, I was worried about the image of the force with the alleged moving money from the suspect bank account. So, I was all out to make sure that those behind the act were tracked.

(10)
After two working days, he, Nnamdi Emeh called me through WhatsApp. He echoed, “Madam, good day.” I responded, “Nelson, where are you?” He said he was somewhere. I asked him what happened to the suspect’s money. He said the money was with CSP Patrick. I asked him to come to the office and meet the AIG so that whatever it was could be sorted out. He said he couldn’t come to Awka because CSP Patrick would kill him.

(11)
In the presence of the PA, while the phone was on loudspeaker, I told him, “If Patrick kills you, his own life dey mountain ni?” At that point, he started revealing all sorts of allegations against CSP Patrick and the office. I told him at that point that if he liked, he could blackmail CSP Patrick to heaven, that I did not care, and that the essence of my call was for him to appear in my office, as the Anambra Police Command name and the state were at the verge of caricature.

(12)
Barr Nweke and the lady, Onyinye Ekwueme (sister of suspects), came to my office every day with some other women and also disturbed me with calls to find out if I already knew their brothers’ whereabouts. It was after 3 days precisely, on 25th January, that they were given access to their brothers. And on 27th January, bail was granted to Tochukwu Ekwueme, while his brother Chibuike, who was the main suspect as alleged, remained with the RRS.

(13)
On 1st February, Nnamdi called me again and threatened that I should stay out of the matter. I gave it to him back: “Come, I am warning you, when you call me, better have some courtesy.” He then said, “Are you threatening me?” and I told him the act he had exhibited was criminal and I condemned it entirely. “If you like run from today till tomorrow, you must return the suspect’s money.”

(14)
With the receipts the lawyer provided, we perused them and noticed a particular First Bank account of one Iloama Oliver Azubike where 46 million was lodged in sequence: 16 million, 20 million, 4,550,000, 4 million, etc.

(15)
We investigated the account and realised it was domiciled in Onitsha. We arrested the man, and he happened to be the Vice Chairman, Bureau De change, Main Market, Onitsha. He stated that a certain DSS personnel by the name Paul Okorie was the person who requested his account. He provided it, and when the money was transferred, he asked him to take the dollar equivalent to his in-law working with Sterling Bank, Port Harcourt Road, Onitsha, by the name Obiora Onyedika.

Mr Oliver said he took the $56,000 to Obiora Onyedika.

(16)
We arrested Obiora Onyedika in the bank. He said he collected the money for his in-law, the DSS personnel Mr Paul Okorie, and that he came to his house in Asaba the next day for the money.

(17)
Obiora Onyedika was taken to the DC CID, Anambra Police Command, where he put up a call to his in-law, Mr Paul Okorie, who at that point didn’t know he was in police custody. He asked Paul the source of the money ($56,000) he handed over to him, saying he received a suspicious call.

(18)
To the hearing of the DC, DC Azare Baba Usman (presently the commissioner of police, Akwa Ibom State police command), the IPO, CSP Patrick Agbazue, and myself, the Zonal Police PRO, Paul said the owner of the money was the guy he came to his house with to collect the money, and that he was actually just realising that the boy stole the money from a suspect’s account.

Onyedika asked his in-law Paul why he should get him involved in such a mess. Paul replied that he didn’t know it was dirty money and that there was no way he could deliberately put him into such a mess.

(19)
Whatever happened between the IPO, the State Command, and Onyedika in subsequent calls to lure the DSS guy, I didn’t know. The IPO, as I eventually heard, got a court order to the various banks where Mr Paul Okorie is banking, and a Post No Debit (PND) was placed on his account.

(20)
At the point where I heard Mr Paul saying it was himself and the corper who went to the banker’s house to pick up the money, the OC RRS, CSP Patrick Agbazue, then said he knows Paul, that he is the closest person to the corper, and that he called him the moment he noticed the corper, Nnamdi Emeh, stole the money, and Paul promised to get back to him.

(21)
He eventually called him and told him that he had asked Nnamdi Emeh and that he said there was nothing like that.

Recall that at this point, the Youth Corps boy, Nnamdi Emeh was still on the run and can only be reached on whasap.

(22)
While I have never worked under RRS but was striving to recover the suspect’s money removed from his account allegedly by Nnamdi Emeh, the next thing I saw was sponsored media attack and blackmail against me in an attempt to force me to abandon the case.

Why? For trying to be a professional. For doing a good job!

Worst? Many persons believed their story because “police should always be at fault.”

I was not stopped by such attempts to paint my image black by Nnamdi Emeh and his gang.

To the glory of God, I personally traced Nnamdi Emeh to the Benin Republic, arrested him, and brought him down to Nigeria to face his crime.

What did I gain for such professional conduct? Continuous blackmail!

If I had collected money from Nnamdi Emeh and refused to push the matter to the point of arresting all those connected to removing money from the account of the suspect, nobody would be blackmailing me today.

Nigerians, learn how to appreciate those who decide to uphold professionalism for the interest of the country!

I deserve a medal and not blackmail!

A society that values justice, professionalism, and fairness must also value the contributions of women who serve within its institutions.

Note: I had wanted not to respond to media blackmail, but not anymore.

💔Epileptic Government of Ebonyi State💔

It has been four years of promises, photo ops, and endless rhetoric, but what have we actually seen? Nothing. Not a single project commissioned. Not a single community transformed. Not even the governor’s own village has felt the dividends of democracy.
The truth is uncomfortable: the problem isn’t just the governor. It is the army of mediocres surrounding him. His cabinet, advisors, and close associates are not leaders they are obstacles. People content with paperwork, clinging to titles, and protecting their personal interests while the state rots. They have turned governance into a circus, where appearance matters more than action.
Meanwhile, the people suffer. Roads crumble. Hospitals are hollow shells. Schools lack basic infrastructure. Communities are abandoned. Our neighbors move forward, yet here we are, trapped in stagnation because those in power lack vision, courage, and competence.
It is a betrayal of the highest order. Leadership is not about selfies and ceremonies; it is about results. Yet for four years, incompetence has been rewarded while the citizens pay the price. The governor’s silence, his failure to act decisively, is not just political it is moral negligence.
We cannot continue to accept this. Mediocrity must be called out. Accountability is not optional. The governor must either surround himself with competent, committed leaders who can deliver tangible progress, or step aside and make way for those who can.
Our state is bleeding opportunities, hopes, and dreams. Every day wasted by inaction is a day stolen from the people. Enough is enough. Four years of excuses, delays, and incompetence are more than we can bear. Leadership is a duty, not a privilege. And right now, that duty is being abandoned.

This is highly recommended and worthy of appreciation.

But the State Government should adopt electronic attendance system and employ more doctors, encourage the deployment of Assistant Medical Officers, and facilitate specialist visits from nearby teaching hospitals. In addition, engaging corps doctors to work alongside the existing medical officers will significantly improve the quality of medical care and promote stronger community participation.

Community participation has been one of the major challenges in the health sector in Ebonyi State. Many of our people do not visit hospitals early; instead, they prefer herbal concoctions and often present to health facilities only at the late stages of their illnesses.

Furthermore, involving volunteers, community leaders, religious leaders, school heads, ward councillors, DC coordinators, local government chairpersons, and the State Ministry of Health will help drive continuous health education on the importance of early medical check-ups and the utilization of general hospitals.

The Vanco Flyover has officially become the biggest joke in Ebonyi State—a three-year construction marathon with no finish line in sight. What should have been a straightforward infrastructural project has devolved into a monument of stagnation, waste, and breathtaking incompetence. Every block, every pillar, every rusting rod tells the same story: this government has no clue what it’s doing.

For three whole years, Ebonyians have watched the same lifeless structure sitting in the heart of the state like an abandoned carcass. No progress, no completion, no accountability—just endless noise from government apologists who somehow think scaffolds and sand heaps qualify as “achievements.” In a state where citizens are struggling with unemployment, inflation, and poor public services, the government still expects applause for a project that hasn’t moved beyond its halfway point since 3 years.

Meanwhile, across Nigeria, other states are completing multi-billion-naira roads, bridges, markets, and flyovers in record time. Ebonyi alone seems trapped in a cycle of half-baked projects and recycled excuses. Instead of infrastructure, the government is constructing press releases. Instead of progress, they are building propaganda. The Vanco Flyover is now a perfect metaphor for this administration—loud at the beginning, confused in the middle, and completely lost at the end.

What makes the whole situation even more insulting is the attempt by government aides and praise-singers to package failure as accomplishment. They post pictures of iron rods, cement bags, and stagnant pillars as if the world cannot see the reality on the ground. They celebrate “ongoing work” as if three years of motionless concrete is a technological breakthrough. It is shamelessness elevated to an art form.

The truth is simple and painful: the Vanco Flyover is not delayed; it is abandoned in slow motion. It has become a permanent fixture of embarrassment—an architectural representation of incompetence. A government that cannot complete a single flyover in three years has no business talking about development, transformation, or progress. If they can’t finish concrete, how will they build a future?

Every time Ebonyians pass that site, they are reminded of what happens when leadership is visionless, distracted, and more interested in PR than performance. Three years later, the Vanco Flyover is not a project—it is a scandal. A disgrace. A daily slap in the face of citizens who deserve far better than the circus currently playing out in the state.

If this is what “development” looks like, then Ebonyi has a long, painful road ahead. And it certainly won’t be on a completed flyover.
