A battle for Anambra’s soul has been sparked by the new Anambra State Homeland Security Law 2025, which declares certain categories of practitioners as persona non grata. The most prevalent of these are evil native doctors, fake native doctors, and false prophets among others who deceive the gullible populace, especially the younger generation.
Some alleged that traditional religion practices have been banned in the state by the new law, which establishes the legal and operational frameworks for the battle to reclaim the Anambra social order. This assertion, which is made out of ignorance or malice, is completely untrue. By purging traditional worship of quacks and other evil practitioners who are robbing the state of its youth, the new law and its implementation aim to sanitise, not to ban.
According to reports, the evil pot called Oke-ite and its affiliated sorcery potions, including Uduakomili, Ibobo, and Awale, are the inspiration for the get-rich-quick mentality that is today wreaking havoc throughout Igboland. There is also Odeshi which are bulletproof amulets which these evil native doctors prepare for kidnappers and armed robbers that give them foolish courage. One thing that unites them is wealth without work. .According to those who know the evil pot, Oke-ite, the clay pot is made with bitter herbs and leaves, dog meat, human body parts, bats, various evil birds, the spiritual Ogilisi tree, and more.
The Igbo values of diligence and hard work are entirely at odds with Oke-ite and all other associated money-making rituals and potions, especially when it comes to Ndi Anambra, who have achieved success and a stellar reputation through hard work.
No reasonable mind can justify Oke-ite’s anti-Igbo culture and traditions. In the good old days, Igbo republicanism dictated that a trueborn son must never, ever bring home soiled money, as this would severely damage the family name.
In addition to receiving unwholesome gifts from their unemployed and schooling children, some parents nowadays have even gone so far as to pay for their children’s attendance at Yahoo training schools. In the Yahoo business, you hear beguiled parents claim that their kids are simply taking money from the white people who once pillaged our land.
Tragically, the fundamental Igbo values of diligence, morality, honesty, and fear of God have been attacked by such evil and negative destructive activities.
The Anambra State Homeland Security Law 2025, which guarantees that no evil activity can thrive anymore, is therefore a child of necessity. The purpose of the law, again, is not to prevent traditional healers from practicing their profession or traditional worshippers from enjoying their religious freedom. It is to prevent the evildoers, like Oke-ite criminals, from infiltrating their ranks.
Governor Chukwuma Soludo needs the support of all to promote the Udo-Ga-Achi Operation to restore Ndi Anambra’s reputation of working for wealth, integrity, and fear of God. To eradicate the Oke-ite threat, the Anambra-structured security network—Agunechemba and Operation Udo Ga-Achi—are the appropriate options and have come to stay. The battle against Oke-ite and its allied crime enablers is a struggle for Anambra’s soul, which cannot be lost.
