Ekueme would have been shot from head to toe had it been he was a chinese leader. Luckily he is a Nigerian and looted Nigeria money.

We need to start the chinese treatment here.

With what Pa Eziachi has said, I dont think any sensible person needs further argument. Some of us were MEN and university students when Buhari ruled (Eziachi I believe even fought in the civil war) and weren't brought up believing that everything was against the Igbo.

Umaru Dikko, by the way, was hausa and was crated by the same man you all wish to give a bad name. Tell us a member of your "tribe" (since you are biafrans, not nigerians) who got same treatment.

Or admit that your hatred is simply based on your support for GEJ. We all know that if Sambo or David Mark joins APC tomorrow, they will immediately also be labelled anti-Christ

This oldman i thought you have grown some greyhair but i never knew they were sprays from the babershop.

President is not corrupt but vice is and the verdict of the tribunal you regarded as a propaganda because it was constituted by Laz Ekwueme his younger brother and chaired by Mbadinuju his political adviser.

Oga your memory and sense of reasoning are failing you abeg, check the next rehab for a mindset overhaul

Ehwueme was visibly corrupt but Shagari isnt, oga abeg before becoming the VP Ekwueme was already a succesful architect while Shagari was a school teacher, after the coup Ekwueme's businesses later pick up after state sanctions but Shagari was never a businessman and he retired to his sokoto village.

Wasn't Buhari involved in the massacre of Igbo military officers during the North's counter coup? Buhari is a Vampire, a blood thirsty one, he will never get a vote in Igboland, he is a serial loser.

The day Buhari did this was the day he sealed his fate as a true anti-corruption crusader.

Jerry Rawlings killed everyone including his tribe men.


Nature has a way of purnishing those who are double standard in their dealings.

With all due respect to Ojukwu my hero, he kicked against Adaka Boro Nigerdelta republic only to lead a Biafra republic.

People like Awo Zik Balewa Sarduna etc paid dearly for their double standards in politics.

One advice I have for everyone is

Nature has a way of punishing those who practice double standards.

You can eat and drink Nigeria tribal propaganda defense of rogues, that your choice, not mine. Your confusion of understanding how a vice can be corrupt and president isn't shows and underpins your lack of knowledge of politics.
Abubakar Balewa died a very poor man with nothing but most of his ministers were stinking with corrupt riches, especially Festus Okotie Ebo. But Balewa was too weak to curtail them and paid with his life when the army strucked because he turned a blind eyes.
The same for Shagari, he turned a blind eyes while the likes of Dikko, Ekwueme, Saraki, Akinloye, Uba Ahmed, Ibrahim Tahir, Ame Ebutte and others did as they pleased with public money.

But the same Buhari launched the aborted move to smuggle in fleeing Umaru Dikko inside a crate.
Was Umaru Dikko not of Hausa/Fulani stock?

Eziachi:
If you believe this propaganda, you can also believe also that the earth is flat.
Before Ekwueme entered into politics, he has nil factory to his name but left with a full functioning brewery in Oko.
Before politics he wasn't into hospitality but left with a chain of Modotel hotels built on illegally acquired public lands.
No one can point to me what Shagari acquired in terms of wealth. The likes of Uba Ahmed, Umaru Dikko, Barkin Zuwo and Akinloye suffered more than Ekwueme.
It was the regime through the SMC that locked up the likes of Ekwueme up, and SMC comprises the likes of Buhari, Idiagbon, IBB, David Mark, Bali, Nwachukwu, Gwadebe, Aihkomu etc and not a one man business.
That's not true.. Ekwueme gave 1 million Naira to NPN in 1970s.. Putting that number in context, Dangote started with N500K loan from his uncle in 1970s.. Critics charged that Ekwueme bought his VP ticket as the highest bidder. He started one of the few indigenous architectural and urban planning firms in Naija that got govt and corporate contracts. Also well educated with US and UK degrees.. Did he enrich himself while in office,yes..but not better than Shagari who surrounded himself with smarter crooks who used him-Shagari to gain inordinate wealth.. They later turned him in when he was overthrown..

Sunnybobo3: That question is best directed to the bigoted Buhari who chose to keep his fellow Fulani man Shagari under house arrest while locking up Ekwueme in Kirikiri despite the fact that Ekwueme was the vice president who's more or less a spare tyre.

Here's the verdict of the tribunal set up by Buhari to try the alleged corrupt politicians on Ekwueme;

"Dr. Ekwueme left office poorer than he was when he entered it, and to ask more from him was to set a standard which even saints could not meet."

Please ask your brother Emeka Ezeogwu while he killed Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa but sent Nnamdi Azikiwe abroad. This is the sin that Aguyi Ironsi paid for. Alex Ekweme was lucky that he was not sent to explain some things to Tafawa Balewa, Ahmadu Bello and Aguyi Ironsi.

Will you stop talking rubbish! Do you think the Ekwueme’s are cattle rearers? He came from the Ekwueme Royal Family in Oko, Anambra. They have enough money and land! Before serving as VP, he was and still is a world renowned architect. After serving as VP, he ventured into other sectors. Buhari is a religious bigot. Plain and simple.
