His criticism is always wrong ,misdirecting,and childish.Only yesterday children beleive d mis directing stories

The problem with Nigerians is their lack of openess to matters arising. The law is meant to put every one inline, both government and the governed, if a law court has issue a statement, you either challenge/appeal it incordance to the laws or comply. Everyone is innocent until convicted by a competent court of juridiction. Buhari should shun impunity and improve our legal system to convict true offender. If any corrupt person escapes or jump bail, there are international laws and bilateral agreement take care of that.

Anyone criticizing this write up is senile...Even the fall & failure of Biafra in the days of Ojukwu was as a result of inappropriate planning and execution...Never fight a war you can not finish ,many innocent souls will pay dearly for it.. How I wish those behind the agitation were alive during the war of Biafra ,they won't give it a thought in their mind..those who lost families and properties will never support the idea of Biafra..How many south south will like to join the formation of Biafra..indeed it is a dead idea from the beginning. Our people don't trust themselves .

I think the writer has made some important points, it is left for we the Igbos to think deeply and take action in furthering the good case of the SE. We have had wrong leaders overs the years who did nothing in pursuing a common cohesive and purposeful action to bring about a common direction to the S/E people. Ojukwu tried rallying up the Easterners by floating a party which could have served as a vehicle of common development to drive our cultural and socio-political affairs but today only Anambra state has APGA in leadership. It is unfortunate that with the pool of intellectual resources abound in the region, the polity has been left to selfish individuals who parade themselves as leaders,set of people who has no strong principles. For me this current vehicle( MASSOB & IPOB) should be used to press for better leadership from both the State and National level and to correct the injustices in this country called Nigeria on the Easterners. Biafra is a good ideology but most be handle with caution in tandem to the calls from the Igbos in the various constitutional conferences.

true he was very notorious but that does not justify them killing him at all let alone killing him in such a manner,people should not take laws into their hands

He who live by gun shall die by gun. If he is truly bad as described here who cares how he dies. May God forgive him.

MrEverest:
It is Douglas road quite right but except that picture was taken immediately after a clean up exercise or many years back, Owerri as at today is very neat by Nigerian standard.

Okorocha should develop a comprehensive and permanent solution to this issue of perennial refuse problem in Owerri. The place is not always dirty as may be portrayed by a lot of people here. The last time I went through Douglas Road, November last year I was really disappointed with the state of the mount of refuse on the road. Generally I think Owerri is a clean place.

seunmsg:
Nonsense. This is APC's government for crying crying out loud, why is Saraki hell-bent on giving relevance to the disgraced and defeated PDP? APC better find a way to impeach the senate president if they want a national assembly that will work with the president to implement the party's programmes. Saraki is only interested in furthering his selfish personal interest and he's ready to compromise the overall party interest to achieve this.

What does Nigerians want? Why are we such a confused set of people. Nobody has been able to fault the senate standing order convincingly except those who are biased to anything PDP. PDP is just a name, people made the PDP and some of those people worked for the failure of the party by not staying put to correct the ills with in the party. APC then took in a fire wood infested with ants. Nigerians voted for a change in the way we do things, and this is one of the change, equity. Until I see the present senate leadership try to frustrate the presidency in improving the life of Nigerians, only then will I take a stand against them.

OJUcrook:
I dont understand this Heeebo animals again. In one instance they want Biafra, in another instance they want the deputy senate presidency and the SGF. Why are the Heeebos so confused

OPC is a movement, does it mean every Yoruba person believe in them in all totality? Same apply to MASSOB movement. It unfortunate that we all live in a country that is tribally divided in every issue. For me how does the post of DSP hinder progress and development in the country? Or does the APC leadership have another agenda other than nationalistic agenda. Presently nothing is been said about the SS, I want to believe also that without Federal character policy I don't think APC will ever consider SE and SS for any ministerial position.

South East people cowards, ordinary 49 Boko Haram prisoners u ar shouting , have u pple abandoned ur quest for Biafra ? cus dis ar same set of pple Nigeria will unleash on u pple should u attempt to try dat nonsense agitation for stupid Biafra, I tot u pple av Massob and Militants ? So dey ar only gd at making useless mouth. So d igbos ar cowards afterall.

You think this kind of a warfare is a joke. A fight you can't not easily identify your enemy in a crowd? and what gives anyone the impression that this violence sect cannot not spread their attack to other part of the country. If they strike in the South East for any reason, don't think a place like Lagos in the south west is water proof. This radicalized people will always attack anywhere you have their people captive to prove a point and what will happen when their is a reprisal attack on the northerners living in the South East or West. The easiest way to create huge a tension in the unity of this country is for any two major parts of the country to experience arms struggle at same time. I don't think the South Easterners are cowards . They are just protecting their homeland.

Please be rational. The issues of non performance and doctoring of a document are different. If the principal officers elected has benefited from the said changes, does it not make sense to invite all beneficiaries. Moreover was proper investigation done to determine who made the the changes and when? Are there no mechanism within the senate to which this can be reffered to first? By the way the last parliament as a whole was a failure. All the regions suffered.

Do you think it is the buildtransplant carry out heart and kidney transplant surgeries? Hey NO but personnel which I m sure are not available in that part of the country at present. And you have to know that kidney transplants are being carried out in many hospitals in Nigeria right now so, akwa ibom will not be the first place in Nigeria to carry out kidney transplant in Nigeria. For heart transplant, I doubt if they can achieve that feat in the next 20 years!

Why do you limit the ability of Nigerians, UCH in Ibadan has been doing great with new breakthroughs in Nigeria. Why won't this hospital do the same, when it is going to be in conjuction with foreign partners? Are Nigeria Doctors not doing well in USA, England and even SA and the KSA. so what's the big deal. The hospital is a specialist hospital and so will source for man power across the globe or is it also bad to do that?

aresa:
Outperform with 8 years worth of uncompleted projects... una no dey carry last for incompetency...

AKS people are happy with Akpabio, so why cry more than the bereaved. Over the 8yrs of Akpabio he has improved the state beyond how he met it just as Fashola has taken Lagos to another level. Give credit to whom credit is due and leave primordial sentiment. Which state governor does not have an uncompleted major project? Name one. The is why continuity is one of the campaign slogan of out going governors. It is left to the people to decide at the polls. Going by the info here 5yr of the project is not bad considering the fact that the project also contended with other capital projects across the state. In IMO state, no governor has done what Mbakwe did in the much larger state since 1983, not even Okorocha.

chitop:
Let us not be deceived by ben Bruce after milking the govt and making enough money to go round his life-time and his ground children,he is now trying to teach morals 101,he should tell us how He and Akpabio triple the Ibom plaza contract before proving to be an innocent man,he that must come to equity must do so with clean hands.

Nigerians are not deceived. The fact that one of those that have benefited from the system is calling for a reasonable change is enough for you and I to support the call. Is this not what the masses has been calling for? How many of his likes has put support to this call? especially the legislators. pay attention to the massage and not the messenger. If we get it right in the future as a nation, the system will eventually extract the stolen funds one way or the other from the thieving politicians.

Why insult some one you never knew personally, irrespective what other antagonist tribes think about him, Ojukwu remains a great mind just like the Pa Enahoro, Zik, Awo, A.Bello and others. These are leaders who believed in something. What does our generation believe in? We keep distorting history and denying our history as a nation. We write history as it suits us.That is why our foundation as a people will continue to crack.

In my opinion, I don't see anything wrong with his visit to the president-elect, in politics there are no permanent enemies. I sometimes find it disgusting with the way some of my eastern brothers reason and the so much back biting among the people. Time has changed and it is normal for people to change positively with it. Whether the east voted for Buhari or not is no longer the issue. The important thing for the people in the east is to zealously asked for better leadership from their leaders, irrespective of party affiliation.

Beamborla:
Let's start by destroying our MTN sim and it's okay if you don't renew your DSTV subscription

I share your believe. Since our government can't respond authoritatively. Then our people should should take the responsibility on them selves to pass a massage the SA government.

OneNaira6:
Me too. I seriously hope imo people won't end up proven what Anambra ppl have been calling them aka saboteur accurate.
I'm watching in 3D.


As for those mentioning how ihedioha is not a better choice than rochas. Is he the only person running against rochas? If the PDP candidate is corrupt, nothing stops una from chosing other candidates beside Rochas.
You all claim he performed but yet you all seem to have forgotten he performed when he was still with APGA. Ever since Rochas joined APC, name one thing he completed while with them? Name one project he began while with them? Similar to Amaechi, Rochas performed while he was with another party. Upon joining APC it's like a switch happened and both governors decided to forget their job. You all cannot be that retrogressive.
If Rochas returns back to power, I honestly pity una imo people

Please highlight how the Imo people have suddenly become sabo. I don't think the Ikemba himself will say this. Agreed that Rochas movement to APC weakened APGA in Imo state, can you boldly tell the world how harmonious the party has been? Imo people I want to believe are much interested in personality and performance and not party affiliation. PDP have ruled much of the eastern states for years and what do we have to show for it even with PDP at the centre. Please don't let us beginning to wash out dirty linen out in the public. First, let all the Igbo leaders set aside ego and individualism and work together as true republicans we always claim to be irrespective of party affiliation for the interest of the region. Every Igbo person would have loved to see APGA become a strong force in the east, delivering common objective/manifesto across the east but what do have? Obi awuotu

ceejayluv:
Shut up there already. Disparaging your kin to impress some other groups will do you no good in the long run.

Deeply look yourself up in the mirror. Common, the guy has made good sense.

XBLadez:
You're right, but ur mistake is putting the blame on the people instead of our Igbo leaders. They should learn to lead by example. See how we easterners voted massively for GEJ, even though he didn't do much for us. Like I said earlier, I know a lot of people who wasted their money and time to travel home so they can cast their votes. Only if our leaders can return the favour for the sacrifices we make for them. I, too, was born and bred in Lagos but, trust me, if our leaders and big men can provide adequate jobs for us in the east, I'd pack my ngwongwo and go back to Imo. And say goodbye to Lagos......forever!

This election should be an eye opener for the Igbos and not a platform to cast aspersions to the Yoruba or whichever tribes that make up the contraption call Nigeria. As much as we all preach peaceful co-existence, it does not stop the fact that the East need developmental attention. It still baffle me that the Igbos have not learnt anything so far in this country. I think it is time that Ndigbo should look into the mirror and tell themselves the bitter truth, too much of individualism. For me their is nothing wrong being the opposition, the questions is what legacies do you leave on ground. If Easterners cannot change the rot in leadership of the east then we should not complain about the treatment received any where in Nigeria.

Williamso:
The alliance between the Ibos and PDP is a match made in heaven. Abia should continue to enjoy PDP, T.A. Orji and his products; afterall they voted for him (senate) and his wife (Reps). His stooge should be no different when it comes to gubernatorial (and I believe his son will win in the state house)...

Have you felt the pulse of the people of Abia? Don't be so sure thats what the people want.

XBLadez:
Then get ur facts clear before spewing them in public!
Most Igbos got their PVC from their hometown. If you're not an impostor, you'd have noticed that a lot of people travelled eastwards early last week to cast their votes. And more than half of those that got their PVC in Lagos didn't vote. So your claim that Igbo people put their political focus on foreign lands is not true

Then let also put some meaningful investment back there and stop developing other states since Nigeria is not a nation state. It is unfortunate that the so called leaders be you PDP or APC does not know how to mobilize the wealth of the indigenes outside the state for greater development of the homeland.

Both APC and PDP supporters are morons and especially APC who are so loud with hatred. Please both sides should be rational and leave primodial sentiment apart. Look at the messages objectively and comment rationally.Our society today has lost it values: elders now dance naked at the market place and youths have lost respect for anyone. With all our education yet we cannot look at issues objectively. Baba has danced naked and Fayose has disrespected him without regard. That is the society you all encourage.

I wonder why people, based on tribal and religious sentiment insult themselves on this platform. Accepted that Nigeria is mistake structurally but must we decent so low with all our education. It's painful how we trivialise human life in this country. People get killed any how and nobody get punished. The 3 children left by the woman should become the state government responsibility so also in other states. Larger responsibility is on the fulani leaders to educate their people on better animal ranching method advocated by the govt. These leaders should be seen to act and not just mere comdemnation.

Much as I agree with IBB on the court thing. How good is our judicial system. Which of the Generals has ever obeyed court ruling. The same court he and is other Generals used and ignored during their administrations. Nigeria is in a cross road because both ways, we will encounter rejection of election result.

On a reflective note, mind you I don't support any of GEJ or GMB. We have seen Jonathan, his strenght and weaknesses. What has GMB achieved with his people in the north so far. What social reforms has he brought to his people. We need know in details and factual what he has done to make the north a better place. How has he reached out to other regions before now. This is what supporters should research and sell to the public and not name calling. I am truelly dissappointed with shallow minded nairalanders. If this is what followership is about, I will not join ranks of any side.

I feel pity for this generation. Everywhere full of hatred for one another.The Youth should be discussing in detials and proferring solution to our national problems and not this bickering. Is this how we want to be leaders?
