PointB: Conference members, ladies and gentlemen, Looks great. It did reflect what we've done so far. This is just a stepping stone, a rough diamond, and we shall keep polishing it to meet the challanges of the day. Good job PointB. Brothers I think we've accomplished our goals and its time for EZE to think of ending the process so as to allow ENYI take off. God bless. |
Re: Eze Ndi Igbo Parliamentary Office - Constitutional Conference in Progress... by PointB: 6:06pm On Jul 13, 2012 |
Sam_Ikenna: Thanks Sam. We are almost done, but not quite. A lot of polishing will definitely have to be done on the sketch we have now. Until then, let us race through the other remaining items viz Article 7: Terms of Office and Elections, Removal from office Article 8: Hand-Over Process and Continuity Article 9: Finance ? Article 10: Amendment of Constitution Article 11: Dissolution of the movement Article 7 and 9 are quite important. Article 8, 10 and 11 may not require serious deliberation. We should round up the debate by the weekend. Thanks to everyone who has contributed so far. Now guys, let's finish this! |
Re: Eze Ndi Igbo Parliamentary Office - Constitutional Conference in Progress... by Onlytruth(m): 4:38am On Jul 14, 2012 |
My brothers, thanks for all your focus and commitment. We are almost nearing the end of this process. I am very proud of us all. Moderator PointB, thanks for a great job collating and streamlining the whole document so far. You did it excellently. Yes I agree that Articles 7 and 9 are very crucial. I really would like our people here to say what they wish to happen with terms of office and removal from office. When we start paying, of course all paid members will decide how their money should be spent. So brothers, please say how you want tenures of officials to run, else we the cabinet members may have to draw up what we think is the best, and you may or may not like it. So, let's hear your opinions now. I personally would prefer that the whole process ends before the end of next week (Weekend of July 20). I will be back to comment more. Still doing some reading for now. |
Re: Eze Ndi Igbo Parliamentary Office - Constitutional Conference in Progress... by Onlytruth(m): 7:01pm On Jul 14, 2012 |
Moderator PointB I move that we deal with Article 7 -Terms of Office, Elections and Removal from office in the council. I don't think anyone would object to what we decide afterall we are not paying yet. IMHO, this section will be reasonably expected to come alive if folks start paying. Ihe ruo na ego, onye obula eteta n'ura! hehe. For now, the council will have to make the call. So, in essence, both Article 7 & 9 may need to be handled simultaneously. I am open to any contrary view. |
Re: Eze Ndi Igbo Parliamentary Office - Constitutional Conference in Progress... by SamIkenna: 4:00am On Jul 15, 2012 |
I suggest we consider adopting one year as a full term for the office of our Eze with 4 terms as the constitutional limit for re-election. And for handover process, I think one of our brothers previously wrote that we elect a new Eze two months before the end of outgoing Eze's term - for continuity and smooth transfer of responsibilities, I believe its important that we choose that model. For dissolution of ENYI, maybe we should let the imeobi decide that in council meetings, not everything should be out in the open for now. And for articles 7 and 9, I second Onlytruth's prayer to have them deliberated on in the council. |

If a third person is needed to "second" the notion, then i vote in favor of the notion to have the council determine sections 7 & 9, but with one thing to add...lmajority of members will have to review or agree before what the council suggests is approved. Power belongs to the people! (Uhh that doesn't sit well in my ears in this context... so power belongs to ENYI!) |

remark D: If a third person is needed to "second" the notion, then i vote in favor of the notion to have the council determine sections 7 & 9, but with one thing to add...majority of members will have to review or agree before what the council suggests is approved. Power belongs to the people! (Uhh that doesn't sit well in my ears in this context... so power belongs to ENYI!) I agree with the bolded. A simple majority would suffice though. Democracy is the bedrock of Igbo culture and we should encourage that culture in the whole East and in Nigeria. |

Sam_Ikenna: I suggest we consider adopting one year as a full term for the office of our Eze with 4 terms as the constitutional limit for re-election. And for handover process, I think one of our brothers previously wrote that we elect a new Eze two months before the end of outgoing Eze's term - for continuity and smooth transfer of responsibilities, I believe its important that we choose that model. @First bolded, I totally agree my brother. One year is enough for any Eze that wants to make an impact here on Nairaland. Another issue is beginning to arise though, and that issue is the "defined" and "complete" role of the Eze Ndigbo Nairaland in ENYI as a movement. In the interim, he doubles as the figure head of ENYI for now, but let us bear in mind that ENYI is not the same as Ndigbo Nairaland. ENYI is far bigger and wider: ENYI is being created by Ndigbo Nairaland of course, but when we start operations offline, ENYI then assumes a far bigger and wider role. So Eze Ndigbo Nairaland may not have enough time to run ENYI and still comment here on a regular basis. So, when we get to the stage of constitutional "reconciliation" (if you like), then we the council members will have to deal with this issue in-house, and then present it to our people here. If they don't like it, they can defeat it by calling for a simple vote. Umunna, I hope I'm not going completely off course with this thought. @Second bolded, yes I completely recall our agreement on that. It is a settled issue. @Third bolded, I second it completely. |

Let's complete the discussion on the constitution and then retire to the process of rationalization and reconciliation. After that we shall present the finished document here. BTW our logo is still up for finishing. We are almost done. Let's get it done. |
Re: Eze Ndi Igbo Parliamentary Office - Constitutional Conference in Progress... by PointB: 3:06pm On Jul 16, 2012 |
Ladies and gentlemen. In the absence of further contributions, I would like to assume that the general feeling is that the council should conclude the remaining articles of the constitution in the council chamber, and subsequently present it for adoption. On that note I'd like to thank you all for your wonderful contributions to the debates. Your opinions and suggestions helped in shaping the draft as reflected. Thank you all once again. This Constitutional Conference is now formally over. |

WELL DONE MY DEAR UMUNNA & UMUNNE, MAY THE ALMIGHTY CONTINUE TO PLANT POSITIVE THOUGHTS FOR GOOD OF ALL IN YOU. I'M SO PROUD OF YOU,FOR EVERY EFFORT WHICH PUT INTO THIS. THANK YOU ALL! |
Re: Eze Ndi Igbo Parliamentary Office - Constitutional Conference in Progress... by Onlytruth(m): 6:03am On Jul 18, 2012 |
My dear brothers and sisters, I wish to extend my heartfelt thanks to all for your opinions and contributions to this constitution making process. I write because I just received a copy of the finished work from our Moderator PointB, and I say confidently that it is a SUPERB document. It is lean and "mean", but agile and gallant. It would lay a SOLID foundation for a movement that will change Eastern Nigeria, and Nigeria as a whole. The principles which come together to inspire the true intents of the constitution has not been seen in Nigeria since the 60s. Things worked in Nigeria until January 1966 when all things fell apart. What we want to do is to amend mistakes and tow different paths as we navigate a future for ourselves and future generation of Easterners and Nigerians. As I stated earlier in this process, this effort will be slow but steady; forward ever, backward NEVER. While reviewing the document, I suddenly realized that the whole idea can be stolen in its entirety by charlatans and fakes, so I will advise my council members that we should keep some of our visions in close chest. Council members are please advised to read the document and let's decide the next course of things. Thanks to all who gave this exercise a fair chance! God bless, Yours truly Onlytruth, ndu di n'eziokwu 1 of Igboland, Eze Ndigbo Nairaland. |
Re: Eze Ndi Igbo Parliamentary Office - Constitutional Conference in Progress... by SamIkenna: 6:07pm On Jul 18, 2012 |
Brothers you all did great. From our Eze, and PointB, our most adept organizer, to the last contributor - I say a very big thanks to all. Let us all (those who contributed and those who watched and read from the sidelines) remember that we were there when ENYI was founded and join hands to make it great. Lets be proud that we're part of a movement thats set to learn from the good and bad of the old in a bid to shape the new. Brothers, I'm humbled by your maturity and wisdom, I've always known 0000 to 1970 was not our last shining era. Umunna m, anyi ahula ochichiri kariri ochichiri, ihe anyi no n'oge ya ugbua bu ihe.

I don't have any preferences. I'm simply curious to know why you decided to name it that. |

Re: Eze Ndi Igbo Parliamentary Office - Constitutional Conference in Progress... by FACE(m): 8:36pm On Jul 25, 2012 |
ogugua88: Everyone disappeared? The constitution is being finalised as per: PointB: Ladies and gentlemen. From this point on, we will no longer discuss our affairs in public and our activities here will be limited while disemination of information here will be based on a need to know/tell. Once finalised, members will be notified via the news letter. Thanks to all our members and well wishers who contributed to the conference. |

My good people of umuigbo, I greet u all, there is something that we should push forward, now that it is early, 2012/013 jamb statistics show that the number of umuigbo goin to higher institution is on d increase, with little number of institution in igboland to accomodate d teemin youth, and we need to encourage our pple living outside the igboland to come and have their higher education here in d east, that alone will channel a lot of roads to them, like intermarriage between the igbos, getting to knw their culture, language and ther root better, but then I have noticed a delibrate act from nuc to hamper these progress, it is pathetic to have 82000 number of igbo youths that soughted for a particular institution(unizik) but at d end of d day, a only not more than 4000 will be admitted, whereas unilag has a whoopin number of 10000 and other institutes that even ranked below in terms of most soughted, a lot has been said on this issue but I will like this able house to also put there head together and sort this things out! A lot of them are now frustrated, after scorin a very high score, but due to the competition, he/she wouldn't get admitted, |
