This is a terribly bad PR for the APC as a whole. No justification whatsoever for this absurdity and abberation! The man even went beyond his constitutional scope of authority to include lawmakers. Ogun should be very weary of this muzzling and muffling! Our opposition faithful must begin to ask critical questions rather than follow like zombies. First, they all refused to domesticate FOI Act, next all APC federal lawmakers voted against LG autonomy, and now this! I fear that this is aimed at covering a mountain of corruption going on in the state and the abracadabra with which they make the people believe in them. Maybe the Stella Oduah's case has shown them that if care is not taken their own revelations might be more mortifying! These people may not be any better after all. Time will tell us. 2 Likes |

ballabriggs: So a road is smooth means it is a good road? Rubbish.It's not in my habit to sing around a topic here on NL, I just drop my candid opinion and let others have their own right to say. I refuted the other guy's assertion that the said scene of the accident was on the "bad" Elele-Isiokpo Road as reported by SR. If you say a smooth road is not a good road then I wonder. To also inform you, the road is properly marked and dualized with relevant road signs, wide shoulders and some parts fully lit--the lights have not been fully installed on the entire stretched. Am a project manager by profession and also an expert in HSE, so I claim to know a few thing about what a good road should be. Note that the said road was one of Amaechi's first and best road projects. It's an economically very important federal road which Amaechi fixed in 2009-2011. And got reimbursed by FG in 2012. I said I use this road regularly and I want someone who also uses this road to come here with facts and tell me that what I say is not true. I make a challenge. 4 Likes |

Is he saying he is going to drop a performing minister because of his/her ambition and leave a thief or unperforming minister to continue his/her shady ways in office.Common sense will tell us that no matter how much a minister is performing, as soon as s/he veers into the thick bush of electioneering in Nigeria, his/her ministry must suffer. There's just no way the person can still perform as ab initio. That's a truism. 6 Likes |

Imagine that there are five different airlines flying int'l routes from Enugu to and from all major business and academic cities of the world?

Anyway sha power in d office is abt 18hrs a day but @ home 2-3hrs a dayHonestly, I like the sincerity in the last sentence of your comment. Without any hype, I get between 20-22hrs of power supply in my place of residence. This is an improvement of between 14-18hrs which we used to recieve from Dec 2012 till about May this year when the improvent became more stable. Around my office, it's between 7-8hrs out of 9 working hrs for me (I can't tell the supply in that area when am gone home). But however, sometimes I wonder how someone who lives in an area where there's perpectual darkness will believe me that there's sincerely an improvement in power supply when in essence he (frankly) hasn't seen any in his area. A case of some people having 'excess' and others having nothing at all. I say this from experience too cos my friend who lives just #50 bike from my house hasn't had light in his area for more than 6months!

FreeGlobe: Lol, dude could not even make top 3 in the first debate, anywhere, I hope he is rigged in for the final debate. Even the crowd could not help clapping for NgigeTrust me, friend, Obiano beat Ngige black and blue in that debate. I watched it from opening to the last second. And as someone who doesn't have so much investment in Anambra politics, it'll be unnecessary for me to want to distort the truth. With what you wrote I can safely swear you didn't watch the debate. The ADC guy was 'cheered' by the crowd about three times or four because of his grammar. He said he's spent 30yrs (to-ri yrs, in his voice) in the US before coming down to contest in Anambra guber. He kept entertaining people with his Americannah and his 'bone', meanface, in his agbada and face cap dressing. He talked like he was campaigning somewhere in Houston, Texas, or in Florida. They cheer for Ngige came when he said that the roads he built 9yrs ago were still intact while the once built 8yrs ago by APGA gov't were going bad. In all, Willie Obiano of APGA was the most articulate and well grounded debater. He delivered on debate content everytime and all time. He knew when and how to throw Ngige off balance and have him gasping for a air and reaching for a string. As for the poll ThisDay claim to have conducted after the debate, I wasn't there and therefore can neither corroborate nor refute the result. This is just to make the records straight as an unbiased observer who watched the live broadcast and not just one who read from paid propagandists in e- and mainstream media. 3 Likes |

I watched the live broadcast of the ANAMRBADECIDES Guber debate held in Awka yesterday (morning session) and it was my very first time to come face to face with the APGA and APC candidates (the big contenders). I must confess that the Willie guy was roundly articulate. He knew his onion and was armed to the teeth with priviledged information of the state gov't workings and the contextual immediate needs of the people (maybe Obi wasn't wrong in picking him after all). He also had accurate management of debate time, and delivered fully on content within the allotted time. At various times be stained Ngige with one accusation or the other during his term and Ngige would take the entire allotted time to rebuff it, and then wont even answer the question before the bell will go. Willie made two heavily discreeting allegations against Ngige. That in his term, about 99% of roads built in Anambra were done in Idemili (Ngige's home area). And secondly, that during Ngige's gov't all the donor agencies and foreign partners left Anambra state because of the gov't's inability to sustain promises and its serial break of projects financial agreements. Ngige had to complain to Imoni Amarere and Linda Illoh severally about how Willie Obiano was consistently breaking the debate rule by attacking his person (though Willie didn't mention names). But in all, the problem is that over 90 percent of the electorate don't even listen to or watch these debates to have personal knowledge of the policies and programmes or proposals of those they're rooting for. I think what's working most against Ngige in this contest is mostly image damages and demonization of the man by the ruling APGA in Anambra.wuu?; 1 Like |

The PDP will see her sack as victory for the opposition and the whistle blower. 4. She is instrumental in no small measure in garnering support for Jonathan in 2011 thru her nebo-to-nebo campaign.

Prof Ukachukwu Awuzie (now IMSU AgVC) was the ASUU national president in 2009 when the said agreement was negotiated and signed. This was at a period of very uncommon political tension in Nigeria, the prof and his colleagues took an undue advantage of the situation on groUnd and sliced out such an outrageous agreement. The strike action having lasted for several weeks and also been recurrent over the past, the then President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua (if he was actually the one) may have given the FG negotiation team the mandate of agreeing with whatever that ASUU comes up with so that they can find a political solution to the em passe. Gamaliel and his team sought for that which was expedient, namely, to agree and to make promise so that ASUU returned to class. How could ASUU ask for over 500bn in one year, 1.5tr in just 3years?! Even our oppositions know that this is an impossible demand! This administration is said to have funded the universities in Nigeria more than any other administration in the past. What I see here is that ASUU's intransigience may lead them to a point where everything gets exposed and they lose public sympathy and there'll be bomerang against them. Although the president had at the last media chat said there was a political angle to the ASUU problem, nobody seem to have cared to probe into that hint. Bad as it is for our education system, ASUU needs to understand that problem of the system is not only MONEY. 9 Likes |

APC is not saying that the Dialogue is unnecessary. They're saying it's DIVERSIONARY. The only focus of our political parties in Nigeria is the coveted Aso Villa. The Dialogue, as all important as it is, does not merit the attention of our politicians, especially at this time because it'll multiply severally their attention and expenses. Although choosing the time for this dialogue as now by the President is a self-serving move, in my reckoning, as I feel that it'll reveal so many secrets that will demonize those who have held sway in the past and it'll also settle most of the (legitimate) agitations of those who have been held down over the past 10 decades of our nationhood-which is what the gentleman from Otueke seems to want to achieve. If the PDP was an opposition, it'll as well kick against the timing of the Dialogue--for the same fears which the APC entertains, namely; distraction (or DIVERSION of attention or focus in their words). But we should talk. We must talk. Good or bad timing. Let's talk. What all Nigerians should insist on is that the outcome should not be subject to NA ratification but to National Referendum. Although if the President comes up with this position on his own, the NA will not allow the Dialogue to hold as it does not have a place in our Law Books and will usurp the constitutional powers of the NA. If the president doesn't get the buy-in of the NA here the Dialogue will not get required legal backing and therefore it'll be a mere charade and its outcome null and void. But there's a hope here in spite of this bleak picture. Sovereignty belongs to the people. So the Nigerian people should force the presidency and the NA to adopt the agreement as a working document thru a National Referendum rather than thru NA ratification. If the call becomes so loud and unstoppable, the NA will bulge and the people will win Nigerians Go! |

We're talking about each state's contribution to the center. Lagos makes the most IGR in Nigeria. But guess what? Rivers state alone brings about 13% contribution to the national treasury.

Only Lagos State can survive without oil and that is even debatable as Lagos would find it difficult without free oil money from Abuja. Even with oil money Lagos is highly indebted.Trust me, the S/East will not crumble at all as you think. Two states in the S/East are members of the ND. And oil is now being explored in Anambra! You know what? Due to the very stringent land tenure regime in the East, and also for their distrust in the entity called Nigeria, oil is not being explored in the S/East as it is done elsewhere. Did you know that when Shell (BP) first came to Nigeria, Owerri was their (admin) HQ (the place they call Shell Camp, close to A.I.F.C.E)? They refused the terms which the people gave them for mutual benefits and the people refused them the space. Shell moved to PH--am sure you know the rest of the heartless and reckless exploitation story and the land pollution. How many times have you heard of oil spill or pipeline explosion in the S/East?

Abagworo: PDP is scared of Rochas performance. They have done everything possible to deter him but he keeps sacrificing and waxing stronger. They are now using zoning of Governorship to divide the State instead of supporting good governance. One thing I like about this Presidency or PDP fight against Governors is that it motivates them to do more like we see in Rivers State. FG has commenced work on East-West Road but I heard work on PH-Owerri Road has been halted.I didn't feel like contributing on this until I saw a few not-so-correct assertions you made here. You 'heard' that walk on PH-Owerri road has been halted. But I saw (just recently) that there's work ongoing there now. During the peak of the rains, it only made sense for the contractor to halt. But they've resumed, good friend. Also, full dualization of the Owerri-Aba and Owerri-Umuahia and Owerri Airport roads have commenced. I saw. I didn't hear. East-West road transverses 6 ND states (FG's now planning to make it complete the entire 9 ND states). At the time Amaechi made that spurious accusation against the ministry of Works and ND and FG, not much earthwork was happening in his own constituency, Rivers state. But not that there was no work going on anywhere. He was rather too spontaneous in his utterances. Talking about using zoning against Rochas. You, of all people, should know that zoning and even political party does not appeal so much to Nd'Imo in particular. Otherwise Rochas would not be there. When they see other superior reasons to vote a person, these frivolities become second class or even classless. In my own understanding, and by what I see for my self, Rochas has been hyping more than he's been working. Most of our APC brothers that'll come here now to cheer Rochas live in Lagos and they see Imo state only on DSTV. They've never crossed the headbridge. If there are some very important things he's done that I have not seen, haven travelled the 27LGs and Owerri, pls kindly inform me. (Note, not that he's not done anything at all. But he's been talking more than he's been doing). 1 Like |
