Ngwakwe: Please, if any Honourable Contestant is ready. Here are your questions.

Can you briefly outline your manifesto and describe your vision for Ndigbo and how you intend integrating and using Igbos diversity as a source of strength in achieving our collective objectives as against what will divide us and bring shame to our future generation?

How do you intend forming your cabinet?

What will you do to reject "Defeat" as an answer when it's glaringly clear you are falling of the cliff?

When you do think, our collective effort is needed to intervene beyond the inputs of the members of your cabinet.

Biafra Rep, over to you.

Your discussions has always been about the south east and your lofty ideas for the region. However, there are many of us from Rivers state who are proud Igbo and feels you can not carry us along.
So how do you tend to carry the Igbo in Rivers state along considering we are not in the south east?.

Here goes.

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?

Nnewi traits for you. When they are defeated they coin excuses like "going to look for piss in Abidjan" or "I'm busy, have a thriving business and am opening another one"

When the threat is gone they show face like I am back to contest for Nigeria presidency, I was begged to come back

Ndeewo nwanne! I am happy about the question you asked, daalu sur! It is apparent your question came before I Presented my manifesto because I treated it extensively in my manifesto but all the same I will repeat what I said there. If you give me your mandate, I will strive to reunite the Igbos with their kits and kins in Etche, Obigbo, Ikwere, Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni and other Igbo speaking parts of Rivers state. I will do this through massive enlightenment and awareness programmes. Our brothers have been sold a fat lie by the enemies that we will claim their oil and take over Port Harcourt if they identify with us! Ridiculous right? My question is, have the people of Anambra or say Enugu usurped the oil wells in Abia or Imo? Again is P.H not already dominated by Igbos from both within and outside Rivers state? Ndeewo!!

Yes, I think I stated that. The second question was the only one directed to him "personally" but others are opened. If I missed it, my apologies and thank you for catching it.

However, keep in mind that he's not necessarily satisfying my requirement, but that of the people that is why I indulged all to read their various manifestos, like he said, he addressed it in his speech.

For the record and interest of all, please, unless if a question was "SPECIFICALLY DIRECTED TOWARDS YOU", then you're not will to answer that question. There are "GENERAL QUESTIONS" opened to the floor. With time, I will collate all questions asked.

In addition, because I am an official and to keep neutrality, I cannot direct your questions to their answers in their manifestos, so PLEASE I BEG OF YOU, READ THEIR MANIFESTOS. Lots of questions that were asked were covered in depth from the 2 out of the 3 who has submitted their manifestos.

Exactly.

I would have loved to point the people answers to their questions "in their speech", but I may misinterpret or someone else may mistake my words for supporting the other. So it's important that people read it or the contestants can reiterate it over and over again. As his campaign manager, if he has answered it, you can just direct them to the answer with a quote.

Rather than saying it in your own words, quoting it or highlighting the portion that states it should suffice since you're his campaign manager. This will go a long way since I doubt lots of people will read that.

Re: Eze Ndi Igbo Nairaland By-Election 2013: Nominations by alex14(m): 6:46pm On Feb 26, 2013
INTRODUCTION:

Ndigbo of NL, I humbly seek for your vote in order for me to serve you. Some/most of you doubted my loyalty and I understand the reason(s) for your doubt(s). I've been a registered member of NL for almost 3yrs now, though with a status of an irregular poster. This is strictly due to the nature of what I do and I believe it shouldn't be an excuse as most of you here are also busy with one thing or the other. Insipte of your individual tight schedule, you make out time to represent Igbo view, and I must confess that this is an inspiration to me. I no longer have room for excuses, for with you guys by my side, we can take this online body, which some had ridiculed in the past, to greater heights. I, like every other true Igbo, can no longer sit idle and watch what our brothers started go the "nigerian way", a way of destruction. This body must/should be nurtured to grow.

AREAS (THOUGH, OPEN ENDED) IN WHICH I INTEND TO FOCUS ON AS EZE NDIGBO nairaland:

I strongly believe in continuity and detest chaos. It's on this basis that I will ensure that my tenure maintains a constant rapport with the two immediate past Ezes Onlytruth and Odumchi in order to have a structure that will last and benefit us for as long as it can. While doing these, my administration would also inculcate programmes (and welcome any suggestion) that would be of help. Where there is disagreement, we'll work our way through and hopefully reach a compromise.
Below are some of the areas I consider important and will focus on as Eze (again, not limited to these areas):

1. BIAFRA:
Over the years, if there is one word Nigerians dread and hate ,,,it's the word "BIAFRA". Heck, it even scares some Igbo too,,,if in doubt, see NL. I have even seen online/offline, how some Igbo try to distance themselves from Biafra, just like some of our Eastern brothers too. Talk about running from one's shadow. My friends, this is understandable, but regrettable. I must "commend" the Nigerian government for the job it did on its people,,,this job is also being done as we speak. They (Nigerian government) went to work on the psyche of her citizens and today, I can say without any apology, that they've succeeded in creating the largest congregation of ignorant folks in the entire universe. Nigeria is the only place on earth where you'll need devine intervention in order to differentiate between the so called "educated" and the uneducated. I came to this conclusion a long time ago, when I realize that critical and logical thinking are extremely alien to most folks residing in the dungeon called Nigeria. I once met a Nigerian who claimed that Nigeria is the only country that operates a "war college" throughout the entire African continent. Nigeria is bad for Nigerians, YET they firmly embrace it,,,talk about "stockholm syndrome".

It's on this basis that I urge Ndigbo to rethink their steps in the dungeon called Nigeria. They should ask themselves if their so called fellow Nigerians will embrace the true sense of nationhood. A country where your ethnic background matters not? A place where you can aspire to be a governor, as long as you meet the requirement? All these and many more critical questions need answers and deep reflection on the part of Igbo,,,especially, the ones that have erroneously embraced Nigeria. Do folks want to remain in a country where they're in constant apprehension because of the suspicion emanating from their host(s)?

This is why I chose to firmly embrace Biafra, simply because it's the mirror opposite to nigeria. There are some who think the quest for Biafran independence means war,,,nothing can be further from the truth. We live in the 21st century and I strongly believe Biafra can/will be achieved without shedding a single drop of blood. That's why you have places like Scotland demanding for their own nation. Even, Catalonia in Spain. Now, sceptics will say it's not possible in Africa and my response to them is: LIARS. As we speak, in Owerri, the Billie human right initiative is doing a good job of trying to bring mass murderers to justice. This http://www.bilie.org/Default.aspx is a well grounded organisation which I support in my own little way. They have members all around the world, and a known office in Owerri.

On the issue of MASSOB, I must state here that I'm opposed to how they are going about their objective. They've lost too many young men to continue on that reckless path. I strongly believe that Uwazurike and the MASSOB leadership must be called to order and be forced to disband, as they're not only embarrassing, but also risking the lives of Igbo youung men.

2. UNDER REPRESENTATION OF IGBO IN THE MEDIA:
The greatest lie ever told by the devil was convincing humanity it didn't exist. I develop heart-ache each time I see a nation of roughly 35-40M people without a strong voice (if any at all) in the media. The lack of a mainstream Igbo media outfit is strictly due to the "profit menatlity". Since Ndigbo do not see profit in floating a "FORMIDABLE" media outfit, her enemies have continued telling Igbo stories. We've ignored the media at our own "political peril". With the help of the arab media (al jazeria in particular), Palestine (inspite of the terrorist bodies like Hamas and hezbolla) was granted a non-member observer status in the UN. As Eze, I will encourage Ndigbo on NL to visit and support Igbo media site that promote Igbo interests.

3. SACRIFICE AND NIGERIAN POLITICS:
Ndigbo si na onye aghala nwanne ya. It's this cardinal principle and sacrifice that helped our parents recorver fairly quickly after the war. I don't need to bore you all with tales on how an established Igbo person will train a poor from another family in the village. This sacrifice also helped in creating a fairly decent middle class (judging by African standard). Translate this into politics, I must say we've failed woefully. Ndogbo must learn how to sacrifice national interests in place for regional interests. Others have been doing this and it has/will continue to work for them in Nigeria. As a core Biafranist, I embrace nigerian politics without embracing the dungeon called Nigeria, because this is exactly what our friends of Yoruba and Hausa/Fulani extraction have perfected. Both have given too little and taken too much,,,if in doubt, see the list of oil block owners.

4. EFULEFUISM AND IT'S DANGERS ON IGBO INTERESTS:
Igbo are republicans by nature, but I strongly believe that this republicanism has its limits in Nigeria. The republican nature of Ndigbo is a good quality to be proud of and I must say I'm proud to be part of it. In thesame breath, I also believe that unbridled republicanism leads to outright "efulefuism". One of my objectives here would be to point out the importance of "safely navigating the Nigerian dungeon". I believe this lack of knowledge on sensing danger by Ndigbo is costing us too much unnecessary loss of lives and property.




5. OVERALL AIM :

I strongly believe that the overall objective of any Igbo that loves and desire a true egalitarian society should be in support of actualising Biafra. I don't need much to convince any sane Igbo and "one-nigerianists" at all,,,all I need is Nigeria and some nairaland characters. Heck, I have some few thread for you to check out: https://www.nairaland.com/1191006/lopsidedness-kano-customs-training-college and https://www.nairaland.com/1182904/petitions-national-assembly-over-army.
