Traditional Ruler, Son Exchange Words At Poll Center by dapachez: 2:12pm On Apr 04, 2011 |
The District Head of Agii in Ushongo Local Government Area of Benue State, Chief Stephen Nduul and his eldest son, George exchanged hot words during the aborted National Assembly polls of April 2, 2011. It was learnt that the exchange of words was caused by the fact that while George Nduul, a staff of the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing is of the Action Congress of Nigeria, his father is a supporter of the PDP. A witness told our correspondent that George took two cows to his father’s residence at Ushongo to host ACN members, and the father, who felt embarrassed by that action decided to untie the cows, telling his son to go and build his house so that he can host opposing party members there. It was further gathered that on the election day, Chief Nduul allegedly took electoral officials into a classroom at Igbauke Primary School, Ushongo, for the exercise instead of under the mango tree, where the voters’ registration exercise was held. Angered by the father’s behaviour, George was said to have taken a detachment of armed policemen to the venue, but sensing trouble, the INEC officials relocated under the mango tree, where the accreditation took place before the election was later cancelled. Chief Nduul, who retired as a Divisional Police Officer (DPO) was said to have rained curses on his son, saying, “If I was the one who knelt down to beg my colleague, former Minister of Works Chief Tony Anenih to employ you, you will never succeed in life”. |

dapachez:Lol, i can imagine the old man kneeling down begging, seriously is this what our country has been reduced too? Is this the only way young graduates can get jobs not by thier ability but by their old fathers and mothers going to kneel down and beg |

dapachez: Another pointer to the fact that PDP is blackmailing traditional rulers with threats of getting deposed. A father's curse on his child can only be effective if and only if the Son engages in sacrilegious acts. In this instance, the son has decided to chose the future while his father wants to duel on the rotten past of PDP's 12 years of misrule. I doff my hat for the son. I am in a simlar position too, but my father has never for once and will never curse me or my other sibblings for opposing his political party. |

maclatunji: what is the faith of those graduates that don't have someone to go and beg for them ? The father is right ,the son is an ungrateful son who benefited from PDP,forcing the old man to kneel down and beg(an indication that the son cannot get a job on merit), now he gat a job ,making some dough, and want to challenge the hand that feed him. If the son had gotten his job on merit,he might have gotten some respect from the father, i know a the about the tradition of these people(NYSC in Benue state). this son is indeed curse unless he go back and apologies to his father,infact, there will even b small sacrifice of goat or chicken depending on the level of provocation of the old man |

maclatunji: aisha2:good points peeps. it has become very disappointing that young men and women from nigeria tend to rely on this "Ima mmadu system = to know big person system" to excel. nevertheless, i thank God that there are some of us that are fighting had to get it done the true way. seanet02:just came back from vacation and everything remains Igbo! Igbo too much o! francisj:Akuko Mbe na Agu = Cock and Bull Stories apologies for what? that a son has no right to choose where he wishes to be. my only advice to the son is to stand up and be a man and stop relying on his father's connections. |

I thought traditional rulers are suppose to stay neutral in nigerian dirty politics.Even the revered nigerian traditional institutions seems to have been bastardized these days like nigerian democrazy. |
