SEE Imo Christmas Tree That Cost N600 Million
The cost is really shocking considering the fact that the state workers have not been paid salaries for several months.
Undoubtedly, the tree and its price have triggered emotional reactions among Nigerians who started blaming Governor Okorocha, appealing to his conscience.
Meanwhile, Chief Emeka Ihedioha, a former deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, also criticized the governor for spending such huge sum of money on Christmas tree and decorations.
“It is ridiculous and indeed smacks of insensitivity for this government to spend over N600 million on decorations when families can no longer afford their meals and basic needs as a result of non-payment of salaries, pensions and other entitlements,” he noted.

Oshiomhole After Me Because I Blocked His Dubious N15bn Loan – Okonjo-Iweala
Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala said she had “absolutely nothing” to do with the arms issue.
The Nigerian government has made high profile arrests in connection with an ongoing investigation into the alleged $2.1 billion arms contract.
Former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, was arrested Tuesday.
Mr. Oshiomhole was quoted Wednesday by Leadership newspaper as saying the immediate past finance minister, and former President Goodluck Jonathan, should also be prosecuted as they gave approval for funds to be released.
“The issue is whether the Nigerian president under the constitution has the power to approve funds belonging to local, state and federal government- funds that have not been appropriated by the National Assembly,” Mr. Oshiomhole was quoted by the paper as saying.
“That is a criminal offense for which Okonjo-Iweala ought to face criminal prosecution. These things are just discussed and wished away. For me, I will stick for the truth and don’t care what people will say,” he said.
In an emailed statement signed by her spokesperson, Paul Nwabuiku, Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala said that it is an abuse of public office, the judicial process and her human rights for Governor Oshiomhole “whom she stopped from taking a highly suspicious N15 billion loan to make false allegations against her while hiding behind the constitutional immunity granted state governors”.
“As recently confirmed by the Debt Management Office, professional analysis showed that Oshiomhole’s loan request which was based on using low interest World Bank loan to offset high interest commercial loans would have left Edo state with a heavy debt burden and the state would have found it very difficult to pay back,” the former minister said.
The former minister said it was unconscionable for the governor to embark on a “campaign of lies against her because she thwarted his dubious loan request”.
She described the governor’s unsubstantiated allegations as a “cynical personalization of the anti-corruption campaign to achieve ignoble objectives”.
“Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala therefore put Mr. Oshiomhole and his ilk on notice that she has briefed her lawyers and that she is ready to explore all legal means, local and international, to defend her name against corrupt and compromised persons,” her spokesperson said.
“It has become a pattern of behaviour that each time Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is internationally recognized, Governor Oshiomhole and his cohorts embark on a cynical and devious ploy of trying to pull her down locally.
“Just last night, December 1, Okonjo-Iweala was honoured at a high profile event attended by Vice President Joe Biden and former President Bill Clinton. Okonjo Iweala was honoured alongside Michael Bloomberg, Bill and Melinda Gates and Mo Ibrahim for their contributions to global development and humanity.
“Gov. Oshiomhole and his cohorts should realize that their ill-motivated attempts to taint Dr Okonjo Iweala’s reputation will never succeed!” the statement said.

100 IPOB Members Nabbed By Police in Delta State
Members of the movement for the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) numbering about a hundred were arrested on Sunday, September 6 by police operatives in Asaba, Delta state.
News about the arrest was published by an online newspaper, Today.ng, which stated that the IPOB members were arrested for what was termed unlawful assembly.
Celestina Kalu, the spokesperson of the state police command, said the suspects were arrested in a location in Asaba after concerned Nigerians wrote a letter to the inspector general of police, Solomon Arase.
The letter stated that the people were not comfortable with the activities of the group which prompted the police to take action.
According to sources, the members were involved in their meeting which was perceived to focus on separatism when conventional and mobile policemen arrested them.
It was reported that the meeting was going on in an abandoned textile mill and the members were unaware of the presence of the police until they were surrounded.
The police spokesperson said investigations had commenced but declined to reveal the exact location where the arrests were carried out.
One of the members of IPOB who escaped said they did not know how the police had got wind of the location of their meeting.
He said: “I jumped through the fence on a head breath when I noticed policemen presence and they swooped on my other members, I do not know how they got the information that we were inside the premises where the gates were locked.”
