Ø  Why I created Anambra State – IBB
Former Military President, Gen Ibrahim Babangida (rtd), has said the reason he carved out the current Anambra state 25 years ago from the old Anambra state which comprised of Enugu, Anambra, and some parts of Ebonyi state, was to take development to some forgotten communities.

He disclosed this at his Hilltop mansion in Minna, Niger State, when he received a team of Anambra State Government officials led by the deputy governor, Dr. Nkem Okeke, who presented the dummy of a book on Anambra to him.

Ø  Worries about drinking Fanta and Sprite

So, here we are, the Nigerian Bottling Company finally responds to the decision by the Court that the National Agency For Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) orders the Nigerian Bottling Company (NBC) Plc to put a written warning on Fanta and Sprite bottles stating that both soft drinks are poisonous if taken with Vitamin C.
There are many troubling dimensions to the matter at hand. But first, we must dispense with some preliminary matters. Though one is not fully privy to the particulars of this case, yet one must wonder why the court is ordering NAFDAC to order NBC to take action having found in favor of the objection raised by the UK authorities. Why can the Court simply not order the Nigerian Bottling Company (NBC) Plc, which is a party to the suit, to take action?
