NUJ ANAMBARA STATE and Abysmal reportage of events in the State, my Findings written by Mkpisi.

Events starting from Ebube Agu launching and EXECUTIVE execution of Laws that needs retuning to avoid repeating the mistake of yester years, both events makes great minds to summersault in mouth agape ,but I noticed that ANAMBARA UNION OF JOURNALIST have been sleeping throughout,sorry snoring at best as if investigation of News is no longer on their Terms of reference.

So I decided to pay them Visit to know ebe mmiri Siri welu banye ópi ugbógurú ,and I visited the NUJ SECRETARIAT in OKA ,Called Godwin Ezemo Complex.

That was after the NUJ election which many hands from the Government fought,just to dethrone a veteran Dr Emeka Odogwu and enthrone a Rookie who need to serve as PA to the Chairman to understand the intricacies, but the result came out better , that's by the way .

I visited the Complex to know why the Union are not giving the State first class reportage,why the citizens depends on Social Media , Bloggers and other netizens,all the while news of Houses and Hotels destroyed are economical , it's only Government Media that bring the reports,and it's always Government angle protective,but a neutral Report could've sufficed.

Infact ,whenever Ebube Agu or UDO GA ACHI goes on a MISSION of invasion and sealing of Suspected premises,they need to take along NUJ seasoned reporters whose report can never be doubted,but taking all this DATA Boys into such tough situation is Just a waste of our reading acumen.

Then I discovered that NUJ SECRETARIAT need so much to bring it up to date Or to acceptable standing. We should know that people address you the way you dress ,the dressing of NUJ  ANAMBRA Sector di ka branded okwu agwu.

 I discovered that Government have not given NUJ support in the last three years which is unhealthy, as we know na ana ego anya mmiri ego and you need to bring your enemy closer, reporters should be budgeted for ,so they can be at their best and always come out fair and they have ears to the ground which the Government need by all means.

Anambara Government should look at  Akwa Ibom state ,how they are supporting NUJ in the state and healthy relationship are founded,even when they raise Axe 🪓 ,they will allow it to land with cushioned effect. 

Giving them official cars , subventions and monthly reasonable stipends are part of what will energize them to work and give government friendly criticism.

Enugu Government give monthly overhead to NUJ and released over 250m for renovation of the Secretariat ,it mean they understand the Powers that flows from the fountain 🖋️ .

Imo Governor gave NUJ and its affiliates brand new Toyota Hummer buses with monthly subventions and built brand new NUJ Complex ,sponsored them on travel to Mecca and Jerusalem.

Ebonyi gave brand new Toyota Hummer for official use of NUJ to the state.

Many NUJ in the north build Secretariat and donate busses and they are enjoying the relationship.

Many in the west did same with monthly subventions and Overseas training .

I don't think that all those State are richer than ANAMBRA or more educated, but they knew the consequences of playing ignorance on such matter.

I heard that Money approved to NUJ Anambra by Obiano is yet to be released till date , imagine how many years it has stayed in the coffer , unless it has grown Wing 🪽.

Outside the above observations,the NUJ complex built by Chief Goddy Ezemo need fencing and serious environmental upgrade and renovations.

The roof need urgent attention as the place na eshi mmiri like Mango leaf.

Press center needs unwinding joints ,ebe ana aracha aka ,where Journalist will hang out , compare stories and grill one another on bad report , getting together at NUJ premises helps to bond journalism.

 

I am sure No subventions,  no support or any kind,No training and journalists need loads of training ,as to write 

 comparative start with healthy interface.

I come in peace with Rove and understanding, though never forget na abum Dibia ónu ike adighi agbalu Ekperima afa.

Mkpisi is the JOB,Mazi Odera Pog JP, APGA Alaigbo ,and Paracetamol ndi Politicians. I rest my case for now .
