Economy

The Onitsha North LGA's economy heavily relies on trade, and the region is home to a number of marketplaces, including the well-known Onitsha main market, the biggest market in all of West Africa. In addition, the Onitsha North LGA is home to numerous businesses controlled by the government, as well as businesses like banks, hotels, restaurants, and places to unwind. All of these businesses make significant contributions to the local economy. [9]

Climate

Onitsha North LGA has an average temperature of 26 °C. The dry and rainy seasons are the two major seasons in the LGA. The area is usually characterized by heavy and frequent rainfall. The River Niger flows through thelLocal government. [10]

The decrease of tree cover in Onitsha North resulted in the annual release of 557 t into the atmosphere on average between 2001 and 2022. Over this time, 12.3 kt of CO2e were released into the atmosphere. [11]

Flooding in Onitsha North

Onitsha North is a flood-prone area in Anambra State. It has stories of flooding and has been pointed out as the cause of flooding in the Onitsha South local government area. [12] That notwithstanding, the main market in Onitsha North was hit by a flood in September 2022 destroying goods worth millions of Naira. This forced the affected traders to stay off their stores as the area was submerged in water. It was in October, one month after, that the water receded back and the traders went to their sales. [13]

Currently, in April 2023, the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has warned the residents of Onitsha of the impending flood disaster. It should be remembered that the rainy season of 2022 affected many buildings with property and products of sellers worth millions of naira lost. The causative effects of the flooding in Onitsha North are attributed to urbanization and illegal structures that blocked the drainages and water channels in the city. [14] [15] [16]

In the same vein, the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET) and the Nigerian Hydrological Service Agency (NIHSA) have also stated that floods will happen in 2023, and Onitsha North will be affected as well as other communities. This has made the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) begin flood mitigation measures by issuing strategies for the early harvesting of farm products and livestock as well as plans for the evacuation of families. [17] However, SEMA, NEMA, and the Anambra State Government, together with other flood and environmental agencies, have been giving early warnings on flooding in Onitsha North. [18] [19] [20] [21]

Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) Camp in Onitsha North

Internally displaced Person Camps were established in Onitsha North local government area to host the flood victims. These camps also host flood victims who moved to Onitsha from other states and communities. [22] Meanwhile, the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) disclosed the list of IDPs in Anambra State for flood victims and Onitsha North Local Government Area is one of them. [23] For Onitsha North, the following IDP camps were listed: Onitsha North government headquarters GRA, Crowther Memorial Primary School, and New Bethel Primary School as well as Sharon House to host victims from Ogbaru and Anambra West Local Government Areas. [24] [25] [26]

Thus, Onitsha North Council Area was turned into an IDP camp when the victims overflowed the Crowther Memorial Primary school that was originally mapped out for them. The Council played host to flood victims from Anambra West Local Government Area, IDP camps at Umuoba Anam and Ekpe Nneyi, Umueri in Anambra East Council Area and Delta state. [27]

In Crowther Memorial Primary School Camp Onitsha, 5 pregnant women flood victims delivered their babies. The women were taken to the General Hospital, Onitsha for immediate and proper medications. [28] [29] [30] In another scenario, a cesarean operation was carried out on a pregnant woman while another delivered her baby safely. They were rushed to the hospital. [31]

The IDP camps in Onitsha North received food items and relief materials brought by individuals, groups, and the mission. The relief materials were from Human Rights Defenders of Nigeria (HRDN), [32] the Onitsha Catholic Archdiocese, [33] and the International Breweries Plc. Items donated included cartons of vegetable oil, cartons of noodles, bags of rice, cans of malt, cartons of spaghetti and noodles, tubers of yams, hundreds of cartons of pastries, mattresses, bags of beans, crayfish, and beverages. [34]

It must be noted that In 2022, some flood victims from the riverine areas were also housed in the Akpaka area of Onitsha North. Luckily, UNICEF provided free medical care at Akpaka Primary Health Care Centre where the flood victims benefitted from free healthcare services. There was also a provision of “mama kits” for pregnant women by UNICEF to enable them to have essential items for safe delivery. Healthcare facilities are essential. [35] [36]

In one of his visits in 2022 at the IDP camps in Onitsha Local Government Area, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, the Governor of Anambra state requested support from Federal Government, agencies, and individuals to enable the state to cushion the effects of the flood menace and other welfare for the flood victims. [37] [38] [39] [40]

Challenges in the IDP Camps of Onitsha North

The flood victims lamented that they face many challenges. They disclosed the inadequacy of mattresses which made many of them to sleep on bare floors and in the open. They also cried out that they need money to buy toiletries like soap, toothpaste, etc. They stated that the reliefs brought to them by individuals and groups do not get to them and begged that the donors should please share the relief materials, directly to them. They also lamented that their families were separated as their members were in different camps. They also need money to rebuild their lives when they get back home. [30]

They complained of hunger. In 2020 at the Crowther Memorial Primary School in Onitsha North, a flood made this comment, “Presently in the camp here there is no drug, medical personnel, and food. The Governor’s wife Ebelechukwu Obiano came and gave us some bags of rice and indomie.” [41] There was also a shortage of drugs, especially of frequently used drugs like analgesics, antibiotics and drips.

It is an agrarian community lying about twenty-three kilometers east of Onitsha. The Vatican Cardinal Francis Arinze is a native of Ezoiwelle. Eziowelle is in Idemili North Local Government Area.Historically, Eziowelle, Nimo Owelle,Abagana and Abba; all in Njikoka local government except for Eziowelle are siblings. Eziowelle is the first son of Owelle and is followed by Nimo,then Abagana and Abba being the last child. Their father was Owelle hence Eziowelle and Nimo Owelle bore their father's name while others still do but it's more pronounced in EziOwelle and Nimo Owelle than others. It has boundaries with Abatete, Abacha, Nimo Owelle, Abagana, Ogidi, and Umunachi. Eziowelle is made up of five villages which are Umuikwele, Umunnama, Ezinimo, Okpaliko, and Ubulu. According to Peter Emelumgini, in his book, A Compendium Knowledge of Eziowelle, "the first people to settle in Eziowelle were the Uruojukwu and Uruogbuefi of Umuikwelle ... before Umuikwelle Etiti migrated from Ifite-Ikwele and settled, with the originals. In Umunnama, the Uruezenebo were the originals, or settled earlier before others came from Umunoha of Port Harcourt side. In Ezinimo village, the Umu-oba,Umuoradigwo,Umu-Chidobelu-Ezeokobu, Umuagu, Uruama, Umudimatuand Umuawa settled earlierthan others before others came from Isi-Uzo Nsukka side when they were driven and scattered as a result of tribal wars. Some others later joined the village from other locations when they were driven out of the town as a result of misunderstanding and constant quarrelling from their relatives and that made them move and settle with the early settlers." The last two villages which are Okpaliko and Ubulu are believed to have migrated from Nteje, a town in the Anambra State of Nigeria between the 18th and 19th centuries. The town is ruled by a traditional ruler called "Igwe" as obtainable in other neighboring Igbo-speaking towns. The Igwe of Eziowelle is also called the Owelle of Eziowelle after Owelle the great ancestor of Eziowelle. The current Owelle of Eziowelle is Igwe Mike Okonkwo Etusi..The first OWelle of Eziowelle, Igwe Christian C. Anene relinquished the throne to the Owelle 2, after his death in 1990. The current Onowu of Eziowelle is Obi J. Akukwe.
