Abi oo. The same ojuku bastradd who couldnt win an election on his own street na him dem dey shout up and down

ChinenyeN: You people are still discussing Okija? The guy is popular.

Ivynwa:

Okija Juju is a strong character with some great leadership qualities but some of his utterances makes one wonder whether he is really Igbo as some posts of his does not show a person that appreciates his Igboness if he is really Igbo and from Okija ndi Ogo m. I don't want to be part of his "for and against" side as I can't handle ill feelings this evening.

ChinenyeN: Compared to last year's process, this year leaves much to be desired. Granted, last year was saturated in novelty, making this years process to seem somewhat retired (with it's stalling, backtracking, issue-mongering etc.). Anyway, whomever is running the show here should prioritize by moving things along. A process isn't a process unless it proceeds.

Onlytruth: Okija_Juju, I'm looking at you with lowered lenses these days!
I like the new you.
If not for your contrarian (I would say irresponsible) attacks against the Great Ikemba Ndigbo, you would be just fine as nwa afo.
Anyway, I welcome this new you! In fact I love it!
So, keep tracking your steps back to your brothers. We are here to offer counsel, help and support should you need them.

PointB: @Lastpage,

Thanks for your comment.

When we get to that bridge, be assured that we shall cross it.

PointB: The decision to disqualify him might not be unpopular especially among Yoruba folks who are use(ing) the opportunity to feign fake sympathy, but in the end, even though the Eze is symbolic we must do it right, we must protect it from wrong, and divisive characters. No shaking!

Thank you PointB.
I make a request (about Observer Status, back then, a lot of pages behind), which l presume you read but decided to be "mute" about it!
I have made it very clear that l am "Yorobo" from the onset thus, l cannot be accused of "Trolling".

I appreciate what is going on and l think "the process" is really enlightening and thus educative.
I also "observed" your quote below:




I want to assure you that we can differ on issues, ideas, opinions and all sort of things like "who should have done what" concerning the civil war, but in the end, l still see all of us as Nigerians first, then our "tribes", second!

I think a time will come when we can rise above "pettiness" in our dealings and not always look at each other with so much suspicion! By the way, l am also guilty of this, at times.

Like "Lady Ivy" has said, "Leadership" has to rise above tribal-mudslinging's" and l am surprised that you made such, one of your 'cardinal principles' for Eze Igbo NL qualification! What about "Leaders that build BRIDGES across ethnic lines"?

Dont you think such a leader (detribalized) would portend better for Ndigbo, than one that fuels tribalism?

In a wider perspective, l have pointed out in one of my previous post that "No one tribe can win a war (lets assume secession gets bloody, as in 1967) of secession without the support of "at least one other major tribe in Nigeria". Even if it does not and we go into "a vote", only one with "an ally or alliance" will carry the day since no one tribe is bigger or more than the other two!

Thus, this is the point where we need people that can "build bridges across ethnic divides" to lead us out of this contraption called Nigeria.

*Yorubas can NEVER win a secession bid out of Nigeria without the support of Igbos or Huasas
*Igbos have a better experience at what it means to have the support of another tribe anyways.
*Hausas might not be so eager right now but if something happens that gives them the edge or make staying-put impossible, they are stuck without the support of Yoruba or Igbo. SIMPLE!

A cursory look at the elections since 1999, will emphasize my postulations.
Just look at the "winners" on national level and tell me what you see.
Look at the "history" of Buhari as well, and you will see what l am saying.
Thus the critical nature of "bridge builders", as Leaders.


As per "Okija Juju", l do not hold any sympathy for him (you will agree he is quite a thorn in the flesh of "Yoruba folks" when it comes to tribal E-war!) but l am very much interested in "A Political process" which allows the Voters to directly decide their leader, without any form of "padding".

I think this is what other people (like Ekt Bear, Ndu Chuks, (Coogar), e.t.c) are saying as well.

They are not showing "fake sympathy" as you put it.

As it is, "outgoing Eze, OnlyTruth" has openly declared that he is not running again.... but still loiters on the Ballot box!
If odumchi is the only other candidate that has "accepted nomination, does it not makes it look like this is all "pre-planned in advance", since he would just get elected "by default"! ....especially when the only other person willing and ready to accept nomination (as at this moment) is getting "disqualified"!!

Others might just wrongly/rightly think this is just "a charade", that "Odumchi" is the selected candidate ab initio. (this is not to infer that Odumchi is not eminently qualified, going by what others have said about him)

But l am sure even "Odumchi" would have preferred to "flatten" Okija-juju at the "open polls" than to be elected by default!
There is so much confidence and joy in thrashing your opponent at a public vote; it gives energy to your administration, going forward because it "guarantees" that the majority are on your side!.

Well, its your election, its your people and its your show;

.... but this is being done on a "publicly available internet" and l feel it is a representation of "who we are, how we are and how we do it" to the outer and wider world!
I understand one should not take this things too serious, anyway.

I hail the process, l hail all the participants.

Cheers,

Lastpage!

ogugua88: It's this kind of "I'm better than you attitude" that made me run away in the first place. If it isn't resolved soon, then I'll kindly step aside and move onto other things once again. Some people like to make 1 + 1 advanced Calculus.

Gboliwe: IMO, against Odumchi, Okija juju will lose only if true Igbos vote. But then, we know the power of multiple IDs.

ifyalways: PointB, I reject my nomination as eze nwanyi or lolo.

Thank you.

nosa gold: Okija juju my vote is 4 sale o.....uche gi adiya? Ka anyi mee business o

Okija_juju:

NNA bia na my shade na Upper Iweka ka anyi pka business ofuma..

Demdem: This fraud is ongoing. Its typical of PointlessB.
I have seen more of rejection by nominees than acceptance. Who in his right frame of mind will want to be associated with a fraud.
Nonsense.
