Anambra digitised property taxes. Anambra also defied a court.

Anambra State won the Top Fan Vote at the 2026 Google Maps Platform Awards this week for its project digitising property tax systems using Google Maps technology. International recognition. Genuine governance innovation.

This is the same Anambra whose governor sent soldiers to demolish a market at midnight in defiance of a court injunction.

Both things are true. The state that builds and the state that bulldozes sometimes wear the same face. That's not irony — that's Nigeria.
