Our Enugu
B’Anyị.™

www.ourenugu.com

Enugu politicians have kept us poor on purpose.

Every four years, our state is sold to the highest bidder. Our young people wait with no jobs. Our elders die with no social welfare. This is not accident. This is design.

Putting Enugu back in the hands of her people. B’anyị.

In our Enugu, the man in the village working for his livelihood, and the youth in the city with dreams, and the women building our homes will not wait for government. They will be government. Gaius Chibueze, Convener of B’anyị
Enugu of the people. By the people. Not the political class.

For too long, Enugu has been governed for the highest bidder.

The wealth of our land sits beneath our feet while our youth queue for jobs that pay less than twenty dollars a month. Our elders are forgotten. Our taps run dry. Our markets are demolished without consultation. Our 17 local governments are reduced to one metropolis while the rest of Enugu waits.

This is not the Enugu we inherited from our fathers. This is not the Enugu we will hand to our children.

The system has stripped our people of dignity. We are taking it back. Not with violence. Not with grievance. With a movement, a promise, and 1,700 voices that government cannot ignore.

2.5M
Enugu residents lack reliable water access. We are over half the state.
154 days
Promised by the current administration in 2023 to bring water to every home. Over 1,000 days later, families still queue at tankers.
17 LGAs
One state, seventeen local governments. Every one of them deserves the same standard as Independence Layout.

· The Founding Wound ·

This movement was born from a grave.

Three generations of one family eaten by the same political class. My father. My uncle. The trader closing his shop. My cousins becoming the next casualties. We do not run for office. We bury our dead and decide enough is enough.

FIRST
My Father
Civil Servant · Enugu South LGA · 1960 to passing

My father was born in 1960. A bright student denied higher education because his family could not afford it. He worked the Enugu South Local Government Council for fifteen years. The highest salary he ever earned was eighteen thousand naira a month. That salary could not feed his family. When he fell sick, they stopped paying him. They owed him his benefits for seven years. He died waiting for the Enugu we were promised. I buried him myself. He never lived in a house with running electricity until I built one for him.

SECOND
My Uncle
My Father's Elder Brother · Diabetic · Died Without Care

My father's elder brother died of diabetes. Not because diabetes is incurable. Because he could not afford the medical care that any functioning state provides its citizens. He lived in the same Enugu where the political class flew their children abroad for routine checkups. He died for the cost of insulin. That is not bad luck. That is policy.

THIRD
The Trader
Small Business Owner · Crushed By Multiple Taxation · 2025

A man in my community is preparing to close down the business he spent years building. The current administration has choked him with multiple taxation. ESWAMA, land use, rent tax, duplicative fees. The state did not create the conditions for his business to thrive. They created conditions to extract every last naira from it until it dies. He is one of thousands. The Ohanaeze Youth Council has called this out publicly. The government denies. The shops keep closing.

FOURTH
My Cousins
Living in Enugu Today · The Next Generation

The most painful part is not what already happened. It is what is happening right now. My cousins, alive today, are walking the same road my father walked. The same lack of opportunity. The same dependence on crumbs from a political class that designed the table. If we do not break this cycle now, with this generation, with this movement, then their children will be the next generation of casualties. Three generations is enough. Four will not happen.

As a child I walked to a forest called Afa to fetch water for my family. The politicians lived in gated houses with running water and generators in the same community. We did not have common electricity. They did. That was not coincidence. That was a system designed to keep us small enough to follow them, and never large enough to challenge them. Gaius Chibueze, Convener of B'anyị

This is what their politics looks like.

Across all 17 local governments of Enugu, the same patterns repeat. The wreckage of governance designed to keep the people small.

The B'Anyị Creed

What we believe.

I believe a day is coming when Enugu and her people will be liberated from the political vultures who have kept this state in perpetual poverty.

I believe a day is coming when our people will no longer eat crumbs from the table of those who have stripped them of their dignity.

I believe a day is coming when the Enugu youth will rise up and speak truth to power, without fear, without favour.

I believe that day is now. And I believe it begins with B’anyị.

The Manifesto

Our Promise to Enugu

Seven commitments we make to the people of Enugu. Not aspirations. A covenant we will be held to.

PROMISE 1

10,000 Direct Jobs

Ten thousand direct jobs for Enugu youths in technology, agriculture, and commerce. Not promises. Not pilot schemes. Real work, real income, real careers in three sectors where Enugu can lead.

A government that cannot create real work for its young people has no claim to govern them.
PROMISE 2

Water In Every Home

Water running in every home before the end of our second year in office. Across all 17 local government areas. The most basic test of governance, and we set the deadline ourselves.

Two and a half years after a 154-day promise, families still buy from tankers. We are done waiting.
PROMISE 3

Light Up Enugu

Alternative electricity for Enugu through partnership with China. Solar, mini-grid, hybrid. Power that does not depend on the broken national grid. Real megawatts, real homes, real businesses.

No state can rise without electricity. Enugu has waited too long for someone else to fix this.
PROMISE 4

End Multiple Taxation

One permit. One payment. End the regime of agents, levies, and overlapping fees that closes shops and breaks traders. Tax must build the economy, not bury it.

A government that taxes a closed shop is a government that has run out of ideas.
PROMISE 5

Welfare For Every Elder

A monthly welfare payment for every elder above 60 in Enugu State. Our parents built this state with their hands. They will not be forgotten in their old age.

Old age in Enugu must never again mean poverty.
PROMISE 6

Beyond The State Capital

Take development to all 17 local governments beyond the Enugu State capital. Awgu, Igbo-Etiti, Uzo Uwani, Aninri, Isi-Uzo, Udi, Ezeagu, Nkanu, Oji River, Igbo-Eze, Nsukka, and every other LGA gets the same investment as Enugu metropolis.

Enugu is not just Independence Layout. Enugu is 17 local governments and every one of them is home.
PROMISE 7

End The Politics Of Highest Bidder

No more selling Enugu to the highest bidder. No more politics of the deepest pocket. Government by service, not auction. This is how we govern, and this is the test by which we ask to be judged.

Enugu of the people. By the people. Not the political class.
B'ANYỊ

Ours.

A covenant we will be held to. We make this promise to every man, woman, and child in our 17 local governments, and we will be held to every word.

Add Your Voice →

Tell your government, on camera, what your community needs.

Not what you want. What your community needs. 1,000 voices per LGA, speaking for the road, the school, the borehole, the clinic that has been waiting too long.

This is not a survey. This is not a poll. Speak for your community, on camera. Tell us the one thing your village, your ward, your LGA needs the next government to do. Every video becomes public record. Every demand gets voted on. The top voted requests in each LGA become the official commitments our future government will deliver in its first four years.

You are not asking for a favour. You are filing a binding order. When B’anyị takes office, the most voted requests in your LGA become the first deliverables. This is governance written by the people who live there.

I do not run for office. I finish a fight my father did not get to finish.

Founder of Voice of the East, the largest Igbo media platform in the world. Builder of Tech City Africa. Founder of Ohaneze Farm. Convener of B’anyị.

I watched my father work the Enugu South Local Government Council for fifteen years on a salary that could not feed our family. I watched my uncle die because he could not afford insulin. I watched my cousins, alive today, walk the same road. I traveled abroad and saw governments that worked for their people. I came home and buried my father. Then I decided.

While I waited for permission that never came, I built. Voice of the East, to give Igbo excellence a platform the mainstream Nigerian press would not. Ohaneze Farm in Enugu, the largest fenced animal ranch in the Southeast, where livestock are raised and the youth are paid. Tech City Africa, an innovation city in Ugwogo Nike that will keep Enugu youth in Enugu by bringing the world to them. ESV Capital, backing African founders. The Make Ala Igbo Great Again movement, because Igbo land deserves a renaissance.

None of these were favours from any government. Every one was built in spite of them. Now we are building one more thing. The government itself.

My father died waiting for the Enugu we were promised. I will not let my cousins die waiting too.
