Anambra School Return Saga: What It Means for You

In a move that affects every corner of Anambra State, the return of schools to their rightful owners has sparked a heated debate over fairness and justice. But what does this mean for the everyday person in Anambra?

Back in 2011, Mr. Peter Obi made headlines by returning over a thousand schools to churches, aiming to revive our education system. It was a bold step that many applauded. Yet, buried beneath the applause lies a tale of forgotten injustices.

Decades ago, during the chaos of war, private school owners lost their beloved institutions to government seizure. These weren't just buildings; they were dreams, hopes, and legacies snatched away. And here's the kicker: those schools are still under government control today, with no compensation in sight.

Imagine being a parent, sending your child to a school built by your community, only to have it taken away without a say. Imagine being a teacher, pouring your heart into educating children, only to see your school vanish into government hands.
