One_Naira:

It took all my strength not to curse you out. Na who be my kinsman? see this boy. Don't you ever put agbotean or whatever he calls himself as my kinsman. The 1diot is a disgrace to people of anioma and I'm even embarrassed he shares the same community with me. Also, it's a shame you shun your own brothers because of some 1diot. It is a damn shame. Why are you not shunning people of Anambra because of chino? or people of Imo state because of Berem (no offense to her but chick you started the anambra vs.imo fight last time) or people of Enugu because of that boy, whatever his name is, wey insult other igbos especially Anambra. You shun individuals but when it's us, Agbotean is now the voice of SS Igbo. SMH!! I don't even know how many times we have to continue to inform una, the nigg@ is speaking for himself before una get it.

PointB:

Thanks for the (re)assurance, it lifts heart to work with you again. I have also lingered on beyond my normal time, would be off anytime soon. However nomination (in the other thread) will commence by 9.OO GMT tomorrow.

There is currently no need for interim Eze, as there is no vacancy yet until the election is concluded as he has accepted to continue until then.

Furthermore, I also believe that the Eze Nwanyi would have been in better position to hold the stool if he hadn't volunteered to stay on. The electoral committee would be the last option in the worst case.

PointB: Umu Igbo,

It is sad and painful that Odumchi had to bow at this point. But I must not fail to acknowledge that he did complain to me about lacking support from us forming his cabinet. While not exonerating myself, I had advised that he openly nominate members cabinet members in threads or send them PMs as many may not be forth-coming with the email stuff. If this was done or not, I have no way of knowing. I also believe announcing even one or two people publicly as cabinet members would have helped him, and by extension - us, in no small measure. Many have sacrificed a lot to get to where we are, and we can't blame those who desire more from our Eze, even as we applaud those who pleaded for patience and more time.

But this is all in the past now, and we MUST pick up ourselves, chin-up and soldier on.

I do not intend to speak for all of us. But I believe, his desire to stand-in during this transition process is in order, and is very much welcome. Secondly, as he rightly noted, his resignation does not in anyway affect the Eze Nwanyi; her position remains intact.

In moving on we must look upon the constitution (despite it many obvious flaws) for guidance. For the sake of our the bye-election, it would suffice to use this respective constitutional provision regarding elections, as stated below:


I would appeal that it is very important that conduct due diligence (profiling) before nominating any candidate. And due to time constraint, and the need to quickly fill any potential leadership void, a period of three (3) day (plus or minus one) depending on the event shall be allowed for nomination. A day shall be set aside for unfolding of manifestos (agendas, debates, campaign etc) leading to the election.

Umu Igbo, we have to move on. Let the nominations NOW formally proceed.

odumchi: Igbo ekelechaa m unu niile.

I would like to formally announce my intention to resign from the position of Eze Ndi Igbo Nairaland. I do not make this decision lightly nor do I do so with jest, but with serious consideration and contemplation. Before anyone decides to conjur otherwise, the events of the previous night are not what drew me make this decision. Rather, this decision was made as a result of several factors which I will explain in detail shortly.

First and foremost, I would like to thank all those who worked with me in my short 38 day tenure. My sincerest outpouring goes to Ogugua; my trusty Eze Nwaanyi; my right hand person. She has been a great positive influence and has never ceased to produce great ideas coupled with bright optimism. Next, I would like to extend a hand of thanks to Point B, the guy who fed us behind-the-scenes support and guidance. He is an experienced fellow who has more than once provided good counsel. Last, but not least, I would like to thank all of those men and women who provided us with staunch, unmoved support in our times of difficulty. The list is numerous, and I cannot endeavour to name them all, but they know themselves.

Difficulties faced:
Now, I'd like to discuss the difficulties I faced in my 38 day tenure. The biggest problem that we experienced was lack of support. When I mean support, I don't mean verbal support, but physical support. Upon the legions of allies we had, not a single soul took to action when the cry for help was uttered. My first mission was to form a cabinet, but I couldn't do so without volunteers. [On the twenty first of January] on the third post that I made on the first page of this thread, I said:

"The most important thing that has to be done at this stage is the formation of a solid cabinet. I woud like to invite all of those who were actively involved in last year's electoral reform process (and any others who desire lend a hand) to email me at: nwaeze@hushmail.com."

Tell me, is this not an open invitation for assistance? It has been thirty one days SINCE I made that request, and up till this moment, I am yet to recieve a single email from a single volunteer. I not only sent an open request for aid but also sent personal requests to certain characters (which includes 9ja_I_Hail), but till this moment I am yet to receive a reply. Now, let's get this straight once and for all: I am not God. Abughi m Chukwu. Therefore, I am not an omniscient being. There is no way under the sun which I can possibly make myself available at every thread in which the word "Igbo" is mentioned. Had there been a solid cabinet, we would have established an efficient system in which my assistants would send me links to certain threads that required my presence. What more than could have we done with regards to forming a cabinet? I have personally confided this problem to Point B several times, telling him that this is perhaps the largest obstacle to our progression. Without a cabinet, the "ship" consisted of only Ogugua, myself, and to some extent, Point B and Onlytruth (who stood as our advisers).

My vision for this organization versus that of the majority:
In all honesty, I have come to realize that my vision for this organization differs starkly from that which the majority of umu Igbo here on Nairaland share and it is one of the main reasons why I am stepping down. I did not regard the Nairaland aspect of this organization as highly as I regarded other aspects. In my opnion, posting on Nairaland was required but I didn't see it as the primary component of my mission, as some of you do. I intended to work in a manner which would promote this organization, in an attempt to bring it into the real and physical world, something which we dabbled and experimented with in Onlytruth's administration.

As your responses have indicated, this is not the type of Eze you want, and that's perfectly fine. Umu Igbo want an Eze who will debate, talk, and inspire them with his words and active presence, and unfortunately, I do not fit that description since am constrained by several responsibilites which prevent me from doing so. In reverence to the wishes of umu Igbo, I will step to the side so that an individual worthier and more competent than I can assume the throne and continue from where I left off.

Our next step:
I would like to tender an apology to all who were disappointed by my administration and my shortcomings. However, I have decided to make sure that no more time is wasted, so I have outlined a procedure for us to follow since the constitution does not speak on how to handle the resignation of an Eze or the election of a new one:

I. First and foremost, the resignation of an Eze does not mean the resignation of an Eze Nwaanyi (meaning Ogugua will remain Eze Nwaanyi), and vise versa. I shall occupy this position for X (this must be dicded by the a general consensus) amount of days until the tribunal is capable of organizing a quick election for my replacement.

II. Whatever procedure we decided upon now shall be implemented into the constitution for future purposes.

Exiting Address:
My tenure has definately been a learning experience. I have learned how to work with different types of people, and most importantly, how to respond positively to criticism and attack. To tell you the truth, it has not been easy. These thirty eight days have been filled with worry, anxiety, and stress. Ugbua obi di m uto na m nwere ike inu nmiri agboto iko n'enweghi nsogbu. Obi adila m juu na anya niile di m na aru ga-apuisi.

Umu Igbo nmanma nu. Unu ezila m na unu ejighi onwe unu egwu egwuregwu; ihe gbasara unu di unu mkpa ya mee m ji si ka Obasi di na elu nonyere unu o.

berem: first of all, you didn't react to that insult until i asked you if you never saw anything wrong with it.
secondly, i didn't insult you. how can saying the word "inferiority complex ".be an insult? I simply apologized before i didn't want you to start writing long epistle for me and making me feel bad.

berem: nice comment Ogugua. infact kwe m naka! when i was being harrassed and called all sort of names, just because i don't share the same views with my fellow igbo brethren, no igbo man on this forum cautioned the idiots who keep calling me names but instead the non igbos were the ones who felt bad. As if that alone didn't hurt me, the same hypocrites will come to this thread and ask for ndi igbo sons and daughters to unite and let peace reign. where is the peace when some foolish igbo men take it upon themselves to insult women on this forum?
btw, when is the umuada meeting coming up? a lot has to be discussed and dealt with. We won't sit and watch our women being insulted and humiliated by some lunatics.

ogugua88:

[size=13pt]I am not acting or making it appear anyhow. I did note in my previous post that Eze Odumchi's absence has raised alarm. I'm stunned at how oblivious some of us are however. I wouldn't expect so many people to join the anti-Odumchi movement, considering that some of those against him have been against him since day 1. I'd be weary, weigh out all options, and consider motives before I bandwagon.

Call Odumchi inactive. Call him agenda-less. Call him anti-Biafra. Call him whatever you like. The truth is that there's no participation within this organization from all levels and we ALL need to work on ourselves. Odumchi is being scapegoated. I'm guessing many of you don't even remember why this thread was opened. He opened this thread to get ideas from us and to get volunteers working with him. Who replied him? No one. I'm not taking sides or adding sentiment. I am going based on facts.

The organization is only in their second eze. Who is to say that what the first eze did is entirely correct or the way an eze should be? He had his style of leadership. Does that mean every eze should be like him? As someone rightly noted, Odumchi has done very well promoting Igbo culture. I, personally, have learned a lot from him within the last few months in his section. It is apparent that Eze Ndi Igbo NL want OnlyTruth part 2. So, why did the majority vote for Odumchi and expect him to fill OnlyTruth's shoes? If it's that kind of leadership that you want, then why didn't some of you vote for OnlyTruth in the first place? Didn't he contest?

Trying to remove Eze Odumchi is the easy part. If that happens, I know exactly who to recommend. If it's that easy to lead ndi Igbo, then show us.

As per the Ify situation, you either deal with it entirely or ignore it entirely. Stop being biased. Or have you actually forgotten that donchris, Malawian and others participated from the very beginning? Is it not the same way many of those in this organization chose to ignore those who created thread after thread for me, insulted me, then demanded an apology from me when my response wasn't to their liking? Meanwhile, the perpetrators saw no punishment and even continued to paraticipate in organizational discussions. Because I don't mention that err doesn't mean I've forgotten.
Maybe some of you wish to continue walking over Igbo women, but I guarantee you that you'll hear from me when I hear of Umuada Igbo being treated unjustly. If you want action against Ify, that's fine, because she's been cautioned by everyone. However, don't forget that the same actions against her will go for all others who participated in the derailing and show of shame.[/size]

OAM4J:

After investigation, I will like to respond to your post that:

Ifyalways was banned by afam4ever

She complained to the authority about being singled out for ban

In the interest of fairness and justice, Mukina2 banned onlytruth as well

While going through the thread and cleaning the insults, I noticed Malawian and Donchris999's insults and banned them as well.

You can now continue you peaceful discussion on the thread.

Thanks.

9ja_I_hail:


Attention Seun and MODS of this section, i need your honest answers.

Is it right for ifyaways to curse everyone out but when the people she cursed retaliate you serve them ban and ifyalways walks free?

Is there any of your rules that empowers ifyalways alone to curse and insult others who does not share her view.

Seun i Implore you to look into this matter and see if the MODS you employed are actually doing the right job.

For avoidance of doubt go through the below thread and see how ifyalays take on everyone with several inappropriate words and abuses and when the people challenged her they got banned and she walks free. Please visit the thread and check from page 13 up wards and see what she have done there today with power of your MODS.

Thanks, hope to see your urgent respond to this issue.

Odunnu:
My friend, stop being a noisemaker. How do you know Ify is free and not restricted? It was your complaint in the general thread that led me to this thread and you are still complaining.
O gini?

Odunnu: I will not, no, I cannot go thru this 18paged thread. I want a summary from a good natured, unbiased user.
My middle name is Peace and I wont mind reigning on this thread.

chukwudi44: I hereby vote YES to Odumchi's removal

@ify

Sorry but I must say you are a disgrace to decent igbo women out there.I had thought highly of you before but I have come to realise you are not differant from the cantekorous market woman we have on the streets.

Mad Cow:



By starting the trend of selecting those whom you felt were either more Igbo than others or were better Igbos than others.

You started the division, so please remove the beam from your eyes before you remove from our own.

This thread was a response to a war against the sovereignty of the Anambra State people started by that Afor Beer called Rochas.
