oturugo:
I remember that election. Musiwa was leading followed by Odua Negro and you were in fifth position. I think your supporters disrupted the poll. May be Point Buchi has to go and organise a credible election for the Yorubas. I will vote for you. You are good in football analysis and it will help the football talent reduction in Yorubaland.

Dudu_Negro: Here are top 3 qouestions I would like to get response on from the contestants.

1. What is your perspective on where the Igbo nation currently stands in respect to other ethnic groups in Nigeria?
2. To demonstrate an Igbo cultural renewal, would you support an osu becoming an Eze?
3. Would you promote and support an Igbo political re-emergence first and as a priority above the politics and propaganda of division in Biafra?

bandb: My questions to the contestants are/is

1. What is your take on forming a council of Igbo unity by appointing your opponents into your cabinet .

2. How will you handle the dual identity of some igbo people in places like ikwerre, obigbo,asaba etc?

3. Okorocha and Obi are two sides of the same coin as regards the formation of APC, APGA and 2015. The coin could be the advancement of Igbo interest or selfish/personal interest. Which of these two correctly represents the coin

Feed me more: Alfamann= Ndu_chucks end of.

Anyone that fail to see through his cynicism need to get his head examined.

Alfamann:

And you are the abandoned son of Eko-Ile

ndu_chucks: Questions

(1)Ufodu anyi bi ofesi (some of us live abroad) or were born there. Additionally, we may have one parent who is not Igbo and may not even be a Nigerian. Would you consider people in that category as Igbo? Do these people deserve the same opportunities such as participating in this election, without discrimination or ostracization because their points of view, while refreshing may not be in the mainstream?

(2)Do you believe that Igbos should spend all their energies in the actualization of biafra?

(3)What's your idea on how Igbo should retake our land from thieving governors?

(4)Is MASSOB more (or less) useful to Igbo cause.

(5)Would you allow your daughter to marry an Alhaji from Wusasa, Zaria, if he is wealthy enough?

I find the above questions very pertinent as they are almost a verbatim description of my current situation.

I am half-Igbo with a Yoruba dad... I can't speak Igbo and I've lived in England since I was 13...

My Igbo family to the best of my knowledge have no interest in Biafra with most aunts and uncles based in Lagos and the US...

I myself find Biafra to be a pipe dream and nothing more than a political tool used for diversionary tactics...

I am very keen to hear what the potential Ezes have to say about this...

ogugua88: [size=13pt]Ndi bayi, ututu oma.

So Tuesday is here. Debates, manifestos, and Q&A will take place here. So far, I have seen two posts containing questions:[/size]





[size=13pt]The floor is officially open![/size]

9ja_I_hail:

@ogugua and my co electoral colleagues, do non igbos allowed to be part of this debate? just asking because i am not sure they do.

achi4u: We can't afford to have three elections in one season.

Alfamann: My questions are:

1 - How old are you?

2 - Which part of igboland are you from? Describe your area very well to show you are a real nwafor Igbo.

3 - Do you agree that "One Nigeria" is better than an independent Igboland and that Igbos are murderers and kidnappers who should emulate Boko Haram and answer questions in the International Court of Justice about committing treason for trying to secede from Nigeria? Would you accept that someone who holds such views work in your cabinet or as your second in command?

odumchi:

I already addressed this issue earlier. The resignation of an Eze does in no way affect an Eze Nwaanyi, and vise versa. The position of Eze is entirely separate from that of an Eze Nwaanyi since both require separate elections. Even though the constitution doesn't speak on this issue, I said that this current re-election process will serve as an example of how all future cases are to be handled.

*Furthermore, the newly elected Eze is to complete the remainder of my tenure, meaning elections will take place as planned.

*These are things to be added into the constitution upon the closing if this entire procedure.

odumchi:

My decision on this is that the incoming Eze will finish the rest of my tenure. When the time comes, elections will take place as usual.

manny4life:

My broda,

How you dey this morning...

In every debate, you and I know certain questions that infringe on personal divulge is highly unacceptable, at least that's a norm everywhere. Your question 1 is quite intrusive, if I were you, I'd rephrase it again

Your number 3, having read through it has four questions to it. Just so your questions are answered properly, please use appropriate punctuations to separate each question to avoid some parts of the question being unanswered. If possible, we will like and be pleased if our contestants can provide answers to all your questions though I know it's very impossible.

Thank you.

achi4u: Manny4life congrat for your new post but I still mourn your exit on this Ezeship race.I still urge you to serve us with all integrity.

@alex101 I enjoy reading your speech and still hope that you will in no distant time complete that speech so it will cover alot areas.Let me leak this secret to you that your presence here will do alot good to your aspirations,what people simply need is a pragmatic and accesible fellow who will alway be a captain to this ship in all year round.I know you have something doing(job) just like everyone of us but how you manage your time count.We can't afford to have three elections in one season.

Wishing you the best of luck.

I suggest you keep your invalid decision in your traveling bag because it lacks the authority of the office and you are already on a journey.

Alfamann:

The form of the questions are deliberate. It is the manner in which they chose to NOT answer that will be interesting.

Alfamann:

This is what happens when there is no constitutional guidance. Anybody will just try to impose their views on the rest.

manny4life: Umu nne'm, ekene mu unu

I'm glad the hour and time is here, reporting for duty here.

If I my ask, though I know the floor has officially opened, I will implore the people to exercise self constraint because I know some people will probably loose their cool, while some will wanna use this time to debate unnecessary issues. Either way, exercising constraint of yourself is key today.



My brother, good morning to you...

I don't know but if I were to suggest - they can ask, but let contestants decide.

A. The election is for Igbos ONLY, it is the Igbos who will cast their votes and not the non-igbos

B. We welcome the spirits of the non -igbo but given how lengthy questions can be, and how most want precise details plus uncertain time availability of our constestants, we should give preference of reason. Igos will have the higher priority in questioning to the non-igbos, thus contestants MUST answer Igbo people questions thrown at them.

C. Though a non-Igbo may have series of questions, however, a contestant reserves the right to answer their questions or not depending on what is being asked.
