Oh....then you've not been going to Head bridge and it's environs in Onitsha..neither have you been to PH road motor parks in Aba.

The joke is actually on you....and it sucks to be you too for real. cheesy cheesy

Product of Peter Adaobi educational mess in Anambra.
God has answered your question here. Will you bend low and swallow your shame is a question for another day
maasoap: I was told that three people were to go from each ward and that my name has been included. I asked them two questions without getting satisfactory answers: 1. What is the mission all about? 2. How much are we talking about? Then I told them that the fact that I'm an unemployed graduate doesn't mean that whatever they are going to pay me really worth my life. Two of my friends (also unemployed graduate) were approached, I told them the risks involved in embarking on such a journey but I think they needed money badly. Right now, one of them is among the arrested group. We couldn't reach the other one as at this moment. When my friend went to the meeting with the trip organisers on Tuesday, they told the recruits that they would give each of them #20,000 feeding allowance for five days they are going to spend there right before they leave Osun state. And that their yet to be determined payment for job weldone would be paid to them when they return. My friend even told us on phone that there were screen out in Imo state, those who couldn't speak English Language were screen out. Something they were supposed to have been done before they left Osun state. If some Nairalanders, some APC members and sympathizers, some Yoruba or neutral people refuse to believe this news, I wouldn't blame them because when Farouk Lawal was alleged to have taken bribe from Otedola, I refused to believe it until he admitted taken bribe himself. I wanted to post topic about this thing last week but I just thought that people wouldn't believe me. Because I didn't think that police would be able to arrest some of them. I was only thinking about the moral aspect, risk of travelling on Nigeria roads, as well as election violence in Nigeria couple with risk of going to an unknown territory to illegally participate in an election of that magnitude when I turned down the offer. No way! So, if you are saying it is not true, I would simply ask you to help me pray for my two friends to return home safely.

I am in support. Let's limit our interaction levels in naija. In light with your thoughts let me ask, how does what is happening in Anambra concern u abeg? It isn't your region or state by any stretch of imagination.

You and your snakish trillionaire tin-god tinubu should kindly support the National Conference. Make we get small gap abeg. Its not by force to do elections in 2015

Like I clearly stated...it concerns me the least the outcome of tomorrow's election.

Am only interested up to the point that the last time I checked..Anambra is still a part of Nigeria and the consequences of bad leadership will have it effect...since the state best in human capital will have no choice than to flee the suffocating environment for greener pastures in other parts of Nigeria.

Beside ...we are discussing on a Nigeria forum....not an Igbokwenu website. undecided

No....I will rather find my answers here:

According to a press release by lawyer and activist, Mr Festus Keyamo, the Commissioner of Police in Imo State, Mohammed Katsina, ordered the arrest and detention of 120 accredited independent national electoral commission observers who are to observe the Anambra State Governorship election taking place this Saturday. Find the press release below...

We have been briefed by the All Progressives Congress (APC) of the following facts:

1. That on Monday, 11th of November, 2013, and Tuesday, 12th of November, 2013, the International Foundation for Electoral Systems in collaboration with the Independent National Electoral Commission conducted training for accredited independent election observers who are to observe the Anambra State gubernatorial election scheduled for Saturday, 16th November, 2013.

2. That on Thursday, November 14th, 2013, the accredited observers who participated in the training above, met at Disyne Hotel located at Owerri, Imo State, for further training of their members ahead of the Anambra State gubernatorial election scheduled for Saturday, 16th November, 2013.

3. That to the utmost dismay of the innocent and patriotic election observers, at about 2:00pm, the hotel where they were undergoing training was surrounded by heavily armed police officers acting on the instruction of Mohammed Katsina, Commissioner of Police, Imo State, who arrested the entire 120 persons undergoing training.

5. That the entire accredited observers are currently in detention at the Imo State Police Command for no offence.

We however, cannot fathom or comprehend the rationale behind the actions or decisions of Mohammed Katsina, Commissioner of Police, Imo State, mentioned above, as same are totally untenable in a civilized and democratic society.

We cannot imagine why accredited election observers, who were specifically trained by the International Foundation for Electoral Systems in collaboration with the Independent National Electoral Commission, to observe/monitor the Anambra State gubernatorial election, should be arrested and detained less than 24 hours to the election.

We think that this is one of the grand plots to rig the Anambra State gubernatorial election scheduled for tomorrow by crippling genuine election observers and allowing fake observers to observe the process.

In the light of the above, we call on the Inspector General of Police to order the immediate release of the 120 accredited independent election observers currently in detention at the Imo State Police Command so they can perform their patriotic duties tomorrow.

Thank you.
FESTUS KEYAMO, ESQ.

Normally, I would've said that this may be a false flag operation to implicate APC. BUT those guns are a dead give-away because those are the EXACT type used by Okorocha's vigilante group.

APC, not cool dudes.

No surprises here. Ngige is an accomplished election rigger. It just got messier when another established rigger - Tinubu is the financier. No surprises here.

xtremely9ja: It is rather unfortunate that political parties in this country will do anything to win election, but reading through the post some questions came to mind;
1. All allegations raised were followed in bracket as unconfirmed?
2. Even if 300 youths from each state of Nigeria were to be imported as it were into Anambra for the election, what significant impact can that wedge against the number of the registered voters in the state?
3. How do you import 300 people that may never understand a simple sentence of igbo to do something as sensitive as been alleged in a predominantly igbo speaking area, Won't they stand conspicuously out?
4. How big is the Hotel in Owerri that can accommodate 300 people at a time? (Not even Rockview the biggest in operation in owerri).
5. How come the people shown in the picture are not more than 50 if 300 were arrested, Where are the remaining 250?
6. How come the picture contains almost equal number of female as that of male, Knowing that the male folks are more predisposed to getting involved in this kind of alleged crime?
7. Why lodge in Imo when the alleged port of crime is Anambra?
8. The convoy of vehicles that will convey 300 people should definitely raise eyebrow, so why risk that a day to election?
the question goes on and on, but one of two things is sure, it's either the move was badly planned or it was targeted at discrediting Ngige.

Orlando Owoh: I cannot but say sorry to you "Jews". You lost your support for Rochas Okorocha not just because his performance decline but because he joined what you call Awolowo party. Chris Ngige is going to surprise you all. The same Awolowo party he used in defeating Dora Akuyinli is the same party he will use in defeating his rivals tomorrow.

We need to order some mop for these losers to wipe their tears with come Saturday... This is going to be funny.

igbsam: The Commissioner of Police Imo State CP Mohammed Kastina just finished his briefing with pressmen this evening wherein he informed them that the command arrested 181 youths mostly from the southwest part of Nigeria (Unconfirmed) in a popular hotel (Disney Hotel) In Owerri Imo State Capital.

Among items found on the men were said to be many Ngige 2014 posters (Unconfirmed), fake INEC Election Observer Cards, Voters Card, 12 Vehicles etc.

Interviewing them, most of them said they came from Osun State(Unconfirmed). They said they were given N10,000 each with a promise of more monies in return after the elections. They said they were told to move into Owerri for their accommodation, hospitality and camping pending the last night to the Anambara Guber polls.

Amongst those arrested are two members of the Imo Security Network in their uniforms and with their 2 Pump Action Rifles and live cartridges. Addressing newsmen, the Imo CP wondered why people from the west going to Anambara would be found in Imo State? He wondered that Imo was not holding any elections and have no reason hosting such youths from other states.

CP Mohammed Kastina reiterated that Imo State would not be used to perpetuate violence or thuggery in the name of politics.. He said the command is poised to maintain peace in the state and would deal with any threat no matter how highly placed.

As at the time of filling this news, there are unconfirmed reports that another mass of youths are camped in a prominent hotel owned by a highly placed government officials and are also bound for Anambara State to aide the APC candidate (Unconfirmed) in the Anambara guber election.

Whoever published this must be from the opposition party. Why put APC when it is not confirmed.

Please people, we should use our heads and not jump into conclusion. In politic, anything can happen, this might just be a setup on APC to destroy their legitimate support in the State. I'm not saying we shouldn't air our views, but we should try to also look at things and issues objectively.
