I will try to hold off my annoyance, even when it is legitimate.

Because I want Governor Peter Obi to be held accountable for what he does in Anambra State , I will try not to give the impression that I am interested in muffling legitimate attempts to critic his performance. Doing so will be falling into conscienceless net of people like Chidi Anyaeche.

I had wanted to do an Understanding Ikenna Ellis-Ezenekwe kind of piece on Chidi Anyaeche but that will be too easy. More so, it will amount to giving Chidi too much credit. Chidi Anyaeche isn’t such a complex being that needs to be understood, not that Ikenna was. Neither is he a new phenomenon on the prowl, as epitomized by Ikenna. Just like those before him, Chidi is a single celled amoeba, crawling around, changing shapes, and in perpetual search for a host body to leech on.

I have obviously passed the point where I look at the likes of Chidi Anyaeche and assume that the mind is a bag that we all carry differently. The problem here is that to the untrained eye, the well and the latrine can be misconstrued to be the same thing. But while one produces water, the other produces stench.

I want to try something novel here. We often assume that everyone looks in the mirror before they walk out of their homes. Even for those who do, we assume that the mirror in their room is not one of those crazy mirrors that give out twisted images. I want Chidi to have an opportunity to reflect. Who knows, he may come up with something profound. He may discover to his own surprise that he has truly found the enemy of Anambra State and the enemy is him.

As one of those who have spent considerable amount of time discussing the Anambra palaver, I am confident that for the first time in a long while the state is in good hands. That does not mean that we should switch off the critical eyes. What is troubling is to see disguised forks held by scorned hands masquerading as critical eyes without first disclosing the begging cap those hands once held.

More importantly, for a critical eye to be credible, it must operate with a context. It must not succumb to the lower angel of its past as embedded in previous undisclosed misadventures. As the clique goes, he who must come to equity must come with clean hands.

I will ask Chidi ten simple questions here. They will give him a chance to reflect. If he answers the questions truthfully, he will make some disclosures that will free him to pursue his newly found passion for criticizing Peter Obi. If he tells the truth, he may find himself confessing in some instances. He should not worry, no one will subject him to opipa, penance. He should not be blunt in his answers else he descends into isa asi sa, induced confession.

Here are my questions for Chidi:

Question 1: Do you know Governor Peter Obi personally? If yes, how do you know him and for how long?

Question 2: Did you and your family help elect Peter Obi governor? If so, what were the reasons why you supported him then?

Question 3: Did you try to approach Peter Obi after he became governor? Did he rebuff your approach? What were you seeking from the governor?

Question 4: Do you know Ikenna Ellis-Ezenekwe personally? If yes, how do you know him and for how long?

Question 5: Have you had any reason in the past to believe that Ikenna is a lair? Do you know an example of where he manufactured stories and was caught lying about them?

Question 6: Have you ever spoken to Okey Ndibe on the phone?

Question 7: Have you ever spoken to Omoleye Sowore?

Question 8: Who sponsored your recent “fact finding” trip to Anambra state? Did you meet with Ikenna during that trip?

Question 9: How long has Anambra State been in ruins? How long has Peter Obi been governor? How long do you think it will take a governor with the kind of budget Anambra state has to touch every facet of the ruins left by the likes of Mbadinuju and Ngige?

Question 10: How do you sleep at night?

The venerable Martin Luther King Jr. said, “I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. That is why right, temporally defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.”

Is Chidi’s truth armed? Is his love conditional? We won’t know until he answers these questions. Not just for himself but for us all for he knows, just like we do, that ora bu iyi. But if he doesn’t, then we know that the fowl that flees from the ground must have farted.

Nothing illuminates sin like hypocrisy. Nothing.

# 2 Chidi Anyaeche or Odenigbo probably odena be nna ya. I am surprise that people like you are still breathing the air in Anambra state. May be you are not residing in the state. One thing I want to let you know that nemesis these days don’t wait for our children or grand children. What you sow is what you stand to leap. Where is Mike Balonwu today? He has become a fugitive in his home town because of the role he played as a speaker of the state. Those that sponsored him left and so will they leave you one day when they are sure that your antics has failed. Mr. Nnebo’s case will not be a different case. I see him as the biggest fool so far. How can a reasonable man support the underdevelopment because of selfish interest? Come to think of it. I want to know where you come from. Do you have a town? Tell us here the name of your town may be we should access the individual there and know if anything good comes out from the town. You are not ashamed of yourself. If your pay master “Dr.” sorry chief Andy Uba believes he love Anambra so much, 1 trillion out of 3.3 trillion will be enough to develop our state. At least if he can do that he will be immortalized in the state or if the state is too big for him he should focus on his home town. He spent 8 good years at the government house and could not boast of a single project in his home town not even Anambra state. The only he achieved is locking up his own brother and selling of Ikenga hotel for the 14 days spell he spent at the government house. Who knows what would have happened if he spent more than a month in that office. My home town would have been sold to Dangote. Why are so blind to see? True daughters and sons of Anambra state brought development to Anambra state and the Uba family is only bent to destroying this state through some useless touts disguised as members of the House of Assembly he planted to use to milk our dear state. In case if you are deaf to the achievements listed by good thinking Anambra state, two people from their come from Agulu. I don’t think Agulu people are criminal. I so beg you to leave our Governor alone to do what his kinsmen did to develop Anambra state. Let me remind you at this juncture, that the people from Agulu approached him for negligence and he boldly told Agulu people that he is a governor of Anambra state not Agulu. It is time the people of Anambra state take a decisive action against enemies of the state and people like Chidi Anyaeche. If not because of my kindheartedness I would have say “ihe kere Agulu kugbue gi”. Onuku. Posted by butexo| 20.04.2008 18:26

For more information about my self please ask around and visit Google. I was in New York last year with my family and we stayed at the 5 Star, Helmsley New York Hotel, located at 212 East Road 42nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10017.

It seems I am in the right direction then. Remain blessed and stay focussed. Leave politics for politicians. Odenigbo Posted by Chidi Anyaeche| 21.04.2008 07:36

You have answered well the questions posed by Okonkwor and if i understand you, your answer could be summed in this well-known aphorism: 'Discretion is the Better Part of Valour'. That being the case, bros, keep your peace permanently on Anambra issue. What a way to end a budding career!!!!!!!!!!!!! Posted by peterclaver2006| 21.04.2008 09:42

# 10 Chidi Anyaeche is a disgrace to all that is good, true and beautiful. His conscience is for sale. And he is ready to peddle lies pursuant to his lewd choices and obscene avarice. He has lost all credibility. I consign him to the pits of opprobrium, where the likes of Ikenna Ezenekwe, and the Ubah dynasty are groping forever in self-hate enroute self-destruction. Every liar will have his tongue hanging out of his mouth. That is the recompense of evil men. Posted by Franklyne Ogbunwezeh| 21.04.2008 13:51
