@ijogun

what does Ekwueme stand for?

He is the most educated President or Vice President Nigeria ever had. When Buhari took over government, he was thrown in jail and the military tribunal who tried him testifed that Ekwueme left government poorer than he was when he got in.

Ekwueme had the first registered indigineous architectural firm in the whole of Nigeria and he has degrees in Architecture, Law, Land Survey, Town Planning, Philosophy. He has at least 5 degrees,

When people were runnnig away from Abacha, he along with 33 other men set up the G-34 to challenge Abacha and tell him to step down,

THat party turned into the PDP which he wrote the constitution, became the founding chairman and had a broad appeal to all. Unfortunately it was hijacked by a military cabal and hence what we have now. Poverty Development Party,

He was responsible at the constitutional conferecence for the introduction of geo political zones which is what is helpnig minorities such as the south south and people from the north central to be involved in the affairs of the country


IF by the above, this man does not stand for something, then i want u to explain and name other politicians in Nigeria who stand for something.

stupidity at its highest. I was responding to a statement ijogun made, i put @ijogun

so if u didnt want to read, simply skip it. I don't think your vision is that impaired that u can't jus simply ignore my post but then again i can't be sure with ur disgraceful arse kissing of ehindero and OBJ

Mama Jama aka OBJ's missing daughter aka Ehindero's lost N20 bribe.(which he mistakenly left somewhere in the States) 


Ignorant? I was not even talking to you

The world would be a better place if people actually minded their business. Go and concentrate on the police contracts u are meant to have instead of wasting time replying to posts that have no connection to you in any manner.

I tire for them o

panalyst  usually I will trade words with you, but as an educated and a civilize man, I decline to comment or address your issues.  I am more knowledgeable on police affairs  more than you can comprehend.  I am not a kin to OBJ in any way, I am self made and don't need contracts to ball. peace

panalyst you still talking?  boy you need to get laid and stop paying attention to me,    

Quote: ''Onovo was said to have lost out in the last minute when powerful forces were said to have argued that giving such a sensitive position of the number one security  organization to an Igbo man, could be dangerous''.

>:(What da hell is all this??? I don't understand what Ehindero said when he stated that he is ''not allowed'' to hand over to his deputy, Onovo. These people are just trying to be sure that they'll be secure from the exposure of their corrupt secrets, especially during the past elections. Ehindero is supposed to be prosecuted by the EFFC (where is that Ribadu sef) because i'm sure that he has collected much more money than Tafa Balogun. I am an Ibo and it is a shame when there is so much tribalisms and  bias made towards Ndigbos. We are supposed to be one Nigeria isn't it, so y then discriminate because of culture. Mike Okiro is not really ibo in my opinion, and why should  he be promoted to that position when the other Senior Police Officer could have taken the responsibility.

Can I ask all you people here saying River state is not IGBO.  what is the difference between someone from OYO< ONDO AND OGUN STATE?  they are all Yoruba people, what is the difference between people from KADUNA, KANO, AND SOKOTO ? 
They are all HAUSA'S.  You guys from the SO CALLED IGBO SPEAKING AREA can't even unite or come together as one and yet you want Nigerians to entrust you with the right to police the nation?  not until you guys come together as one and resolve all your tribal differences, we will always exclude you from vital post.

forget about the local government, go to any Yoruba state you will have people who speak Yoruba and have other local dialects and customs.  there are three national recognize tribes in Nigeria, YORUBA IGBO AND HAUSA.

Either way, when you talk of Nigerians to anyone outside Nigeria, they will always asked you are you IGBO, Yoruba or Hausa?  end of story

we need to stop this useless ethnicity that is destroying Nigeria.  It's amazing how people want a change in police force and transparency.  Yet we have people lobbying to convince the president on who should lead the force.  why can't we let the president do his mandatory job.  elect people that he feel can do the job and be accountable for his actions?

yawn,people recognize nigeria period,its not because you are ibo ,yoruba or hausa.

@Ishmael

WTF are you talking about?. . .Shut up if you don't know instead of talking out of your ass. I suppose the name "Dike" sounds Hausa to you, idiot. Incase you didn't know, Ndonis/Egbemas are basically in between Imo and Rivers, you have some members of the clan in Imo and the rest in Rivers. What suddenly makes one Igbo and the other not? because you said so? Ukwani isn't Igbo, I wonder what language that is to you?. . .Rubbish! Okiro isn't Ikwerre, he's from Ndoni/Egbema.

My grandma is from Delta State and she's nothing other than Igbo and so is everyone across the Niger from Onitsha upto Umunede/Agbor. Igbos have natives in 7 states of the federation, Rivers/Delta/Anambra/Abia/Enugu/Ebonyi/Imo.

If you speak Igbo where you come from, you're Igbo and there's no two ways about it because in the end, the language is basically the only thing ALL Igbos have in common. Cultures differ across the spectrum, so does ANCESTRY and political organization. The language is the identity of all Igbos!

Much ado about Okiro


Thursday, June 07, 2007 People and Politics
Ochereome Nnanna

ON Wednesday, May 30th 2007, former Inspector General of Police, Mr. Sunday Ehindero, was ordered to hand over his post to the “next most senior” Deputy Inspector General. From records, it became clear that Mr. Ogbonnaya Onovo, the DIG in charge of Administration, was that person. But, by Friday that same week when Ehindero formally said goodbye to the Force, the formal instruction was that he should hand over to Mr. Mike Mbama Okiro, the DIG in charge of Operations.

This move ruffled quite a few feathers within the system. Some thought that the new regime of President Umar Yar’Adua, in making the decision, “bypassed an Igbo man” and gave the coveted position to someone from Rivers State. While some speculated that it was part of the administration’s continued effort to woo the South South and encourage the cessation of violence in the Niger Delta, others felt that the new leaders were continuing former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s perceived marginalisation of the South- East. Some even concluded that Obasanjo must have been behind the move.

LET me remark here that this mess was avoidable. Rather than ask Ehindero to hand over to the next senior officer, he should have been told to hand over to Okiro. Even though some people might still have grumbled that the bypass of Onovo was politically fishy, they would have recognised the President’s prerogative of making such appointments. Past Heads of State had tended to appoint their tribesmen to key security positions, including the post of IGP. In fact, it was the vogue to ensure that the service chiefs and key administration officials were from the tribe or region of the Head of State, perhaps, because it gave them a sense of security.

Many top officers in the forces were often retired to give way to the anointed ones. Even Obasanjo made sure that all three Police IG’s who served during the eight years of his regime were Yoruba, and retirements had to be conducted in 1999 to create room for this. When EFCC Chairman, Malam Nuhu Ribadu, was being touted as Ehindero’s successor, the stage seemed set for another round of retirements of top cops. It is, therefore, pleasantly surprising that (at least so far) the new regime is toeing former President Shehu Shagari’s line in giving the post to a competent policeman and not insisting that he must come from his geopolitical area. If this trend is continued in all areas of security and administration appoint-ments, people will no longer feel that their parts of the country are being kept out of the scheme of things.

It is important for us also to dispel the impression that Okiro getting it instead of Onovo amounts to the Igbo being bypassed. Even though some have speculated, in the past, that Okiro is Ijaw, the truth is that he is of Igbo stock.

He comes from Egbema, which was in the Ohaji/Egbema/Oguta Local Govern-ment Area of the old East Central State (ECS). When new states were created in 1976 by the government of General Murtala Mohammed, Egbema was part of the newly created Imo State. It was during the boundary adjustment exercise that followed that Egbema, an oil-producing area, was shifted into Rivers State, an action that some Igbo leaders, such as the late Chief Sam Mbakwe, felt was aimed at depleting Imo of its oil producing status.

Besides, Igbo-speaking people in Rivers and Delta are as Igbo as any other Igbo, just as Yoruba in Kogi and Kwara are Yoruba and Ijaw in Rivers and Delta are Ijaw. The boundaries that separate people are just artificial. Let people learn from the lessons of recent history. Former Rivers State Governor, Dr. Peter Odili, used to pride himself as a “Rivers man”, as if Rivers State is a tribe. But, as soon as he embraced the presidential race and looked like a real prospect, some Ijaw leaders, such as Chief Edwin Clark, started telling the world that Odili is an Igbo man, and that the agitation for a South- South president of Nigeria was not meant for an Igbo man masquerading as South Southerner! So, Okiro remains the first Igbo man ever to be appointed as the Inspector General of Police, for whatever it is worth.

On a more serious note, it does not really matter where the Police IG comes from. That he comes from a tribe does not prevent him from doing the bidding of his appointers neither does it propel him to carry out an obvious ethnic agenda. In fact, the best person to be used against a tribe or religion is a member of that tribe or religion. All three IGP’s under Obasanjo were Yoruba, and, yet, till date, the real killers of Chief Bola Ige are yet to be exposed.

WHAT we know about Okiro, from his exploits as the Commissioner of Police in Lagos State, is that he is a tough crime fighter who does his job without creating undue political mess. He put area boys and the Oodua People’s Congress (OPC) in check in 1999 to 2001 without creating the impression that he was on an ethnic witch hunt. Okiro is also very media friendly, having come from the background of a student activist in his university days.

It is now left for him to show Nigerians the stuff he is made of. The way Okiro makes his bed as Police IG is the way he will lie down on it!

Rivers state is your state, so mess what?. . .They don't need to tell me they're Igbos, they've been Igbos since thy kingdom come, idiot.


Nobody is claiming brothers with Rivers peopleEgbemas/Ndonis are Igbos ,just like Nnewi people, Nsukka people, Asaba people, Owerri people, Mbaise people, Ohafia people. Stop being a clown!
