[/b] I think its high time I slept! Politics no fit me[b]

9ja_I_hail: Okija Juju your point has been noted and some of your points are totally unacceptable by me.You have made your speech and it's sound emotional yes it is, but i will like to tell you this categorically, as long as i am alive and participate in whatever igbos does on Nairaland or outside Nairaland you cannot lead any committee i belong, i promised to campaign against you.I said this because you have refused to recognize our passed Eze Ndigbo gburugburu in person of Ikemba Ojukwu,at the same time refused to be loyal to the incumbent eze ndigbi nairaland for this reason i will always stand against you in any election or campaign.You can't aspire to be a leader whereas you disrespect your formers leaders. I am not against you holding your hatred toward ikemba, but for you to have the audacity to come out publicly to re-emphasize your stands and disrespect towards Ojukwu and Onlytruth is out of order.How many yoruba's on this Nairaland can publicly admit to you that awolowo played a bad role during the Biafra war that made you disrespect ikemba to the extend you failed to understand that he is a human being just as you are and can make mistakes. At this time we Igbos are trying to bring our self together i am not expecting you to utter some of this comments that is capable to disunite us.

I 9ja_i_hail as a member of electoral committee declare that Okija Juju apology is mean less and unacceptable.

Thanks.

ndu_chucks: As an observer, I must confess that your process is very far from being democratic, sorry to say. You people need to grow up and know when to put the interests of the people above childish ego based interests.

Mad Cow:


Your stance is duly noted by me and I respect it as well.

I don't expect my apologies to be acceted across board and I wasn't seeking acceptance with that speech, I simply to clarify certain points that may have been taken the way.

All the same, I wish you the best in presiding over matters that may arise from this election and pray you put aside sentiments in carrying out your duties..

And just for the records I have always recognised the Office of Onlytruth as the Eze Ndi Igbo 1 of Nairaland. He may have failed to do certain things while in office, but there is no disputing the fact that he led us well.

Thanks.

Ichie Alusi Okija.. _{Eze Mmuo of Nairaland}

berem: LMAO! Oh yeah! I guessed as much that MAD COW and OKIJA JUJU are the same person.the style of writing is very similar! Why did you have to reveal the mad cow identity?

berem: nne good nite!

Errm! Point B, I wanna just say something.Do you think it was ok for you guys to allow non igbos to nominate? Why I asked this is because,am not sure it is our custom in igbo for non igbos to also interfere in Ezeship contest.my maternal uncle was once an Eze ndi igbo in a local government in Lagos state before LASG stop recognizing such titles.and I know non igbos didn't participate in him being elected.
Don't you think its better for only igbos to nominate their candidates? "Just asking"

ndu_chucks: Dis Okija get sense o, him don take Igbo sense turn the table chair, so to speak. Case closed

Mad Cow:


Lol

Okija has been banned again...

PointB:

Berem,
The rule only permits Igbo and those who are clearly allies of Igbos. I took my time not to count nominations of those who are not qualified. But if you think there are some oversight kindly point them out so that I can correct them.

ebere1712: And after nominating a person like Okija_juju as candidate and his Yoruba friends help him by voting for him en-mass, who would be his followers? If you allow this to happen, you would destroy the office of eze Igbo OF nairaland. No sane Igbo person would listen to okija-juju. Even if he repents, he still can't command respect from any sane Igbo person. Just look at the pedigree of people that were the first to plead for his case. Okija_juju as candidate or even volunteer for any Igbo function, in physical or virtual space, is comical

Lord Naya: @ Okija Juju your statement was emotional but baseless and idi.otic for having no regrets for all the abominable fallacies and lies you told against the GREAT GENERAL DIM CHUKWUEMEKA OJUKWU R.I.P on his dying bed, the day he died, and after his death. You are a heartless confussed man. If ur father and father-in-law fought with dignity on the side of Ojukwu and have no regrets for that, then u a disgrace and you need to ask who ur real parents are becos great men dont give births to sabotuers. It is ok to disagree with Dim Ojukwu but not to retract or have any regrets for your past insensitive statements & abuse is not just provocative but senseless and wicked. You dare not say these rubbish in Igbo youth gathering in the real world else you would live to regret it, that is if they dont kill you. Nnamdi Azikiwe house was attacked and vandalized by angry youth with his children narrowly escaping death in Onitsha because one of his sons said something against Biafra around 2006, talkless of the peoples general Odumegwu Ojukwu RIP. Since then Azikiwe's children always keep mute and avoid saying or behaving anyway that suggest anti-biafra. You dont deserve any Igbo leadership in the physical and in cyber space. Those crying 4 okija should cover their face in shame.

PointB:

If we had struck off his name, Mrs. Chima and co would have been up in arms shouting discrimination and all that.

Nomination should end in an hour or two.

ndu_chucks: Here's my last piece of advice before I call it a night:

Those of you who are contesting for Ezeship, and other Igbos for that matter, need to understand that Igbos in NL are made up of people from diverse backgrounds and who were raised in Nigeria and abroad alike. Many of these Igbos, particularly those under 30years old and were born abroad, and cannot read Igbo. This issue does not make them any less Igbo than those who can read and write Igbo.

It would be in the best interest of ALL NL Igbos if you communicated in English, unless you prefer to continue to marginalize and sideline the youths, who must carry the touch, as the old coots among you pass the baton. Una good night o.

9ja_I_hail:

Sir your observation is in order no objection but i will only make some corrections. What we are doing here is Eze Igbo,Sir i am sure you knows igbo language a little and you can understand what Eze means in igbo land. For the fact that Eze is what we are here for, igbo language is allowed. Those who do not understand can seek for interpretation as we all are our brothers keeper, non of us here will refuse to teach or translate any igbo written here to english for whomever that does not understand.

Sir i hope my answer is enough? if not others can help to address your case.

abouzaid: The manifesto must be presented in igbo language only. Anybody that can't read and write fluently in igbo have no business being our eze. Onye ana rọ anụ igbo, afa ya bụ ndo, ife anyị gana ede ebe a bụ soso igbo. Ndị ntisa chọrọ iji nkwụgheri mebie ife anyị na eme ebe a. Manịvesto bụ soso igbo ka aga eji mee ya. Onye amaro asụ na edekwa igbo ekwesirọ ibu eze.

PointB: @9ja_I_hail,
I have noted your stance. I would like to hear from Ujchief and/or Afam to know where the decision of the Tribunal converges.

berem: what a waste of s.perm and ovum! Tsk tsk
