@playmode- u really make sense, finally someone 2 tell these fools bragging about their useless brainbox, why would a president of 30 different states call one particular state the brains behind the country, if OBJ had came out and said Ogun state was the brain behind nigeria, I'm sure everyone would have cried foul, this is what I've been saying all along, jonathan's advisers are pushing him towards failure, he needs to wake up and seriously pick up some sense, gosh,

I have read the comments in this topic and as someone who has visited every state in nigeria and. some west african countries, GEJ is not far from the truth.

Infact to state that anambra is the brain box is an understatement. Am not from anambra , anambra is more like the processor of nigeria.

It will really raw a lot of nerves but that's the truth.
Imo state would have qualified for the title but imo people while producing more graduates than anambra , anambra produces more enterprenuers.

Come to think of it , the emeagwalis,the Achebes, the Adiches, ekwensi, even Psquare and so much more talents in NASA , microsoft , UN are from anambra. A. Former adviser of Bush on science and Technology Dr ken Nwabueze is from ogidi, he is about 40 yrs now.

Did I hear someone mention ekiti, ekiti is a toy compared to anambra , I have toured ekiti , brains don't just lecture they create knowledge base businesses,for the benefit of doubt mention top 5 academicians from ekiti and compare with top 5 in anambra ,I think Ekiti must have reigned in the 70s after the war, don't forget the fact that GEJ was a lecturer before.
The businesses in Africa has a lot of anambra influence . I understand an anambra man bought over the oil well licences in sao tome. Which alarmed Americans. I won't mention his name because of some petit minded local champions who only thrive when their tibes man is in the presidency as pres or VP.

@kettykings - You have a point but just a minute one, for the main existence of education in nigeria started with ekiti state, you can't produce quality brains if you don't have educational institutions to build those talents, yes anambra might be known for it's productivity and industrial outputs but without proper education in the principle of things they remain slave to the more educated parts in nigeria, americans are not the most productive people in the world, yet they command those brains which we call productive(china, japan, india, e.t.c.) Mr. president needs to be careful when seeking support for it might backfire him if the other parts of the country feels he is being a tribal. At last you have mentioned the great names from anambra who made it big but what have they done for their land, absolutely nothing! I can mention names in western states too that have achieved alot e.g : wole shoyinka, obafemi awolowo, mike adenuga, e.t.c , these men contributed largely to the development of their region either academically or economically or inspirationally. Come on let's not be biased by claiming one region is supreme to others afterall we are all one nigeria.

@poster- you seriously need 2 wake up and realize that you are in the 21st century, the age of deception and trickery, nothing is as it should be. Firstly, why facebook? We have hundreds of sites in which people claim to be what they're not and I'm not just talking about nigerians. e.g myspace, hi5, yahoo messenger, and so many others. People havea right to do whatever they want, don't tell me you've never applied make up to your face or pose in a seductive manner or do things in order for you to look better for your friends/fans. Just wake up and stop antagonizing people, if you look closely, you'll see that even in the advanced countries, people claim what they are not,

To the best of my knowledge, the 2007 PDP primary was contested by aspirant from the north and south.

@seunmsg- Sure on paper, but the politics behind it was totally different, zoning was an issue which saw many of the aspirants from different geopolitical zones other than the north loose credibility, the pdp party plays dirty politics, i wouldn't expect you to have the slightest clue of what I'm talking about!

Also the man omokri blamed dokpesi and others who came from regions of instability for not investing in their region, but he failed to realize that he's also guilty of the same crime, it's not only politician that should be held responsible for development, private sectors, celebrities, you and me, everybody has their part to play, over reliance on government is the major problem in this country!

Dokpesi and the Elastic Conscience



I just read Raymond Dokpesi’s interview with news men on his ordeal at the hands off the SSS and I am again appalled at the level of double speak our politicians are capable.

In adducing reasons why he is being allegedly persecuted, Mr. Dokpesi alleges that the Goodluck Jonathan team wanted him to head their campaign; however, there is some reason to doubt this claim. Raymond Dokpesi is from the South South, the same zone as Mr. President. The question then is how plausible would it be that the President would pick someone from the same zone as himself to head his campaign? Does it make sense when conventional wisdom compels Presidential aspirants to not only look outside their geo-politcal zone but beyond the Niger. Thus if a candidate is from the North, conventionally he would pick a campaign DG from the South and vice versa. So the question is would a politician of President Jonathan’s pedigree consider a fellow South Southerner as his campaign DG in an election as heavily fraught with zonal issues as 2011? In my humble opinion I think this very unlikely.

The other issue that beggars belief in Dokpesi’s interview is the reason he gave for rejecting the headship of the Jonathan campaign and supporting IBB instead. Said he ““It is not a matter of saying, ‘this is what is good for my people and that the other people can go to hell. We don’t care; we will bulldoze our way. I strongly believe that it is right and appropriate that what is due to John should be given to John and what is due to Benson should be given to Benson.” Dokpesi then challenged the PDP “to follow the path of honour by sticking to” zoning.

Now on the surface, the above argument does sound altruistic. However let us go down memory lane. In 2006 after Obasanjo’s two terms of four years, going by the zoning logic, power was to be zoned to the North. There were many contestants for the PDP ticket chief of which was a man called Peter Odili from the South South who according to Dokpesi would have emerged winner of the ticket had former President Obasanjo not intervened. Now the thing is that Mr Raymond Dokpesi was the campaign manager for Dr. Peter Odili’s 2006 presidential campaign organization!

So when did Mr. Dokpesi develop his scruples about sticking to the zoning agreement? Was it before or after he served as Odili’s campaign manager in 2011 when Odili was running against a Northerner and the party had zoned the ticket to the North? What happened to Mr Dokpesi’s logic that “what is due to John should be given to John and what is due to Benson should be given to Benson” in 2006? Did it take a holiday?

The truth is that Mr Dokpesi like many-oh too many- Nigerian politician has an elastic conscience that expands and contracts according to the needs of the owner.

Could it really be that Dr. Dokpesi would have wanted to serve Dr. Jonathan in the same capacity as he served Dr. Odili but was rejected in his overtures? Personally I think Mr Dokpesi revealed the real reasons why he is not on the Goodluck train when he said that ““AIT, for its efforts at the U-17 World Cup was initially owed N5.7 billion by the federal government, but the figure has risen to N19.7 billion” Mr. Dokpesi further informed journalist that “President Goodluck Jonathan earlier sent text messages as Vice-President, to him pleading with him to bear with the government over the debt as the President, late Alhaji Umaru Yar’Adua, was sick and that the debt was delegated to him to pay. But also when Jonathan became President, I was told that he was quoted that the AIT should bear the cost as part of national service”.

Well now, we are coming to the crux of the matter. It seems that we are now being told the real reason why Mr. Dokpesi has an ax to grind with the President and it has nothing to do with zoning at all. Mr. Dokpesi really just wants his bills paid (funny though how N5.7 billion could balloon to N19.5 billion without any change in the service rendered) and is willing to help make anybody who would pay the bill President of Nigeria.

Please Nigerians connect the dots. Here is a man who has serious financial challenges and almost lost his media empire but for the intervention of Peter Odili in 2005/6 and who is once again in deep waters financially to the extent that the staff of his media emoire are owed many months’ salary in arrears. Is it not trite knowledge that a drowning man would clutch at straws!

Moreover, Mr. Dokpesi and IBB make quite a pair! I was almost struck dumb to read the reasons given by IBB for not attending the 50th Independence anniversary celebration. IBB claimed that “I don’t believe in the whole concept. The expenditure was too much. There are more effective ways of celebrating at 50. The large expenditure should have gone into universities". Really! This from a man who wasted $12.2 billion and to quote Okigbo whose "disbursements were clandestinely undertaken while the country was openly reeling with crushing external debt overhead.". I mean if IBB was so in love with Nigerian universities how come he withdrew the subsidy on education which more than anything destroyed Nigerian universities and led directly to brain drain? I mean if Maj. Gen. (Rtd) Buhari who had a reputation as a prudent spender while he held sway as military Head of State could attend, then certainly General Babangida had no reasons not to attend if it was the cost of the ceremony that was the issue. I mean how much did the ceremony cost? I believe it was16 billion Naira. How much has IBB spent chasing his presidential ambition? Yes 16 billion is quite on the high side but if General Babangida could spend billions celebrating himself with his Presidential bid, then I certainly can understand spending billions celebrating 150 million long suffering Nigerians. Besides if Genral Babangida loves our universities so much, perhaps he should have donated the millions he paid to fly in Joe the American R ‘n’ B star to sing for his son’s bride to any Nigerian university!

It is really pathetic that a man who gave as one of the reasons for annulling the June 12 elections the excuse that the Federal Government owed Chief MKO Abiola millions of dollars would turn around to appoint as his campaign chief a man who also claims that the Federal Government owes him millions of dollars. Going by IBB’s logic the government would be justified in annulling his election if he won.

But logic is not what guides men like IBB and his new side kick Raymond Dokpesi. Such people are guided by only one motive-what’s in it for me. If you doubt me, then ask them why in the face of the multiple tragedies facing Northern Nigeria, both IBB and his motley crew of desperados have not thought it wise to publicly champion the cause of the millions of people in Northern Nigeria who are affected by the floods in Sokoto, Zamfara, Kebbi and Jigawa state or the Cholera epidemic in the North or even the lead poisoning in Zamfara. Why would they when there is nothing in it for them?

To Mr. Dokpesi, Nigerians have come very far and no longer have as short a memory as the likes of Mr. Dokpesi would want us to have. If Mr. Dokpesi has forgotten, perhaps it is time to remind him that power was shifted to the South West not because of any zoning logic, but as compensation to the people of the South West for the injustice done to them by the annulment of the June 12 1993 Presidential elections by General Babangida when Chief Abiola was set to be declared winner. When Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar wanted to transition to a civilian democratic administration, he toured the six geo-political zones of the country in 1998 to meet with leaders of thought and opinion moulders and he was told that he risked the South West seceding if something was not done to pacify the zone for the injustice meted out to chief Abiola. He then put heads together with retired and serving military mandarins who came up with the idea of anointing one of their own in the person of General Obasanjo as a way of pacifying the South West while having someone whose chains the North could yank as President. Thus was President Obasanjo anointed President and no sooner had the puppet being sworn in than he came alive and rather than have his chains yanked by the North proceeded to yank the chains of the North as no one before or after him had done. I could go on and on, but suffice to say that power shift to the South West was caused by General Babangida’s callous act of 1993 and for him to contemplate coming back in 2011 is not only an affront on Nigerians but amounts to a case of a criminal profiting from his own criminality.



Reno Omokri is the Vice President, Africa, at Joe Trippi and Associates, the DC based Political Consultancy firm.

the one thing Mr. Omokri failed to point out was, OBASANJO used the basis of zoning to stop other aspiring candidates from different geopolitical zones. In order to satisfy his puppet's ambitions. 4 years later, you now claim that there's nothing called zoning, now that's eccentric!

Another thing to point out, you also hold a very high post in your firm and thus should be able to help your people back home, but what have you done for them, so you too are guilty of the same crime as those politicians in which you've mentioned above.

@vision- Don't be so quick to assume, things are not always the way they seem!

You guys are pathetic, because the man gave 500,000 naira as assistant to a group of people doing business with his company, you say his story doesn't add up, let's look at things 4rm another point of view, so 4 million naira is enough for those militants to cause a bomb explosion well they must be hungrier than i thought, since dokpesi aligned himself with I.B.B he has bound to make more than a few enemies and i believe those enemies are the real force behind the bombings, unfortunately he that controls the forces in nigeria also dictates their tunes, and the unfortunate thing here is that before the bombing JONATHAN was doing quite well and had the support of unfamiliar ethnics like yorubas and other minorities but now he has dealt himself a devastating blow, i hope this doesn't end up causing him the election!

It's really you guys that don't understand, you said M.E.N.D doesn't stand for what happened at the bomb blast and yet M.E.N.D have repeatedly used scary tactics in the various kidnapping and explosion in the niger-delta, M.E.N.D is a terrorist group and it's so unfortunate that some of you people stand behind their logic. JONATHAN was so quick to remove M.E.N.D from the list of suspects but he forgot that these people are not contented with the way his administration is ruling nigeria. 4 THOSE OF YOU STILL BEING FOOLED, GET A CLUE!

Why are you people so quick to distinguish one from the other? Maybe the whole populace of nigeria is suffering from loss of memory, so quick to judge obj as a saint but remember the man ran government with an iron fist, education dropped to a record low, prices of oil, i can't even describe, throughout obj's tenure we saw some of the most corrupt politicians make a mockery of our constitution. I.B.B is no doubt evil but don't brand obj as a saint for he too was just as corrupt.

@paddy lo- To me all the candidates are rubbish, including JONATHAN, there's no need of defending jonathan, he's engulfed in the same corruptive system called governance in nigeria and out of all the candidates he looks the easiest prey to be used as a puppet. Jonathan seriously needs to wake up and rule nigeria with a free and fair mind otherwise he might just be another pawn for those causing mayhem in nigeria. To me if he can leave pdp and join another party and still win the election then i believe he can be sincere but we all know that's not going to happen, lol

@marvix, please sir stop talking nonsense, na beg i dey beg you, OBAMA would never do such a thing, they operate true democracy and not a sham like the one being operated by nigeria. Falsification of information to the public is a great offense, it's almost like treason and it's part of corruption, does your hatred for I.B.B. really deepens your heart that you cannot see what is written between the lines. This is not about I.B.B or JONATHAN, it's about cowardliness and corruption of those in high places, it's about the current administration's incompetence towards national security and accountability.  Stop defending a man that has no sympathy for nigeria, and would gladly turn nigeria to a one man's tribe, please stop ruling with tribalism and let's run true federalism if there's even any thing as such.

and u think with your prick. any mend that didnt take the amnesty deal had since become terrorist unless fg didnt mean their words which i doubt it.fg stated clearly that any mend member that didnt take the amnesty deal after the deadline will be tagged as terrorist and what i think gej meant when he said it wasnt mend that did the bombing.foolish boy go back to my post and read between the lines. if u are holding on the mail supposedly received, any body can do that, its called mail imprersonation, i dont need your password t o do that. if u dont beleive it next time u receive mail to supply your acct info pls do since its from your bank.just because u can type doesnt make u an enlightened bagger.its only people like u that fall for this crap. we are wiser now.ibb try another one this will not work.

Why must you and so many others make life so difficult for yourselves, you still believe in the same federal government that lied to you times without numbers, sometimes things are as simple as ABC, but you can trust nigerians to derive meaning into everything. Was the amnesty for only M.E.ND or was it for all militants, you fool! If you are still part of those who believes militants have been eradicated by the sham called amnesty then you are obviously in your own little island somewhere, hello o, reality check! If you have concrete proof on I.B.B.PLEASE ARREST HIM NOW, yea yea that's what I thought, they have no balls, no guts, all of them are cowards and all of us are puppets in their hands, my brother free yourself before it's too late!

@nigerhead- u are one of the few sane people still thinking rightly, God bless u! And for those still being fooled well I guess some things would never change,

The problem with nigerians has always been idiots ruling an even more idiotic populace- no offense but can't you people see what this is really about, an opportunity to put the country in disarray so that the election can be rigged very easily and who better to rig than the incumbent administration. I suspect GOODLUCK is playing some kind of script, he obviously lacks the strength to stand up against what is wrong? If you people actually believe IBB will be implicated by all this, you are all sadly mistaken, the mogul is much too brilliant to be trapped by political escapades. For some of you fortunate to witness the way he made a mockery of oputa panel, then you'll know this guy is no joke! The only way to punish such selfish people like I.B.B , ATIKU and  OTHERS is to deny them during the polls even that is an uphill battle since most of us intends selling our votes 4 a miserly 200 naira,

there is nothing like mend.they dont exist again that is why they are called ex. they are now terrorist. that was the fg stands as at when the deal was beeig brokered. they gave them ultimatum to accept the amnesty deal or be called terrorist after the deadline.this was even done by UMYAu guys shd remember this unless and ofcourse u think with your hands. i dont know y ciroma and his fellow are shouting.what gej did is exactly what any right thinking leader shd do. ofcourse there will be personal damages just like what we are seeing but it would av been worse if the fg accused mend. gej is taking the fall for the sake of the country. is that not what we want a leader that is ready to sacrife himself/herself, now we av it and we want to chase him away. i fear for my country.

you think with your anus! Having said that, i believe your real problem is lack of information, how did the bomb threat start, who claimed responsibility, what does the S.S.S. know? All these can enlighten you, M.E.N.D is alive and kicking butts, but the ignoramus of a president called JONATHAN  would rather betray his country than his own tribe, the man cannot think for himself, that is just too obvious otherwise he would go after M.E.N.D once and for all before they take over the country? Don't think it can't happen o, because the first step to REBELLION in a nation is to divide the loyalty among it's populace.

Jonathan is one of the dullest president nigeria has had in a long time. You don't want to offend the niger delta but also u don't want to look weak in the eyes of the rest of the country so you decided to use this as a political tool, not knowing that nigerians are wiser than they were 4 years ago. Fellow nigerians which would be worse, a president that is biased and afraid to speak against evil just because he belongs to that part of the country or a president with an history of deadly political mistakes but years of valuable experience, to me Jonathan is unfit to rule and neither are the so called ex-military leaders, unfortunately they are all we got, so let's choose between two lesser evil, please!

If a president is going to bring substantial change, he would be able to achieve this in 1 or 2 yrs, even if it's electricity, that one is enough but goodluck, you have not brought any good luck to nigeria, your administration is actually a setback for nigeria in all areas, from education to sports. This man refuses to blame M.E.N.D for the abuja bombing rather he sees an opportunity for a political agenda. Even after M.E.N.D accepted blame for the event, he refuses to take charge just because they're from the same tribe, what a shame! Nigeria needs a president that is not a coward, a president capable of speaking 4 himself, my goodness FASHOLA would make a better president than GEJ, I would hate it if I.B.B becomes the next president but I'm starting to see a determined man and the most determined of men brings about a revolution, which is exactly what we need here in nigeria. Let's vote for a president that would fight for nigeria, not only his tribe but his country as a whole,

@MaziUche0 and playmode -  You both have the guts to support what these cowards called M.E.N.D did, how would both of you feel if your family members like your sister or father or mother was part of those killed today, I'm sure you would be filled with so much bitterness and sorrow. Agree nigeria needs a revolution, no doubt but it must be done in a calculative way. Don't go bombing innocent people, get educated, hire professionals, ASO ROCK isn't that secured, for goodness sake strike where it matters, when osama struck he made sure he shook the united states where it would hurt the most, their financial background. Another important point to take note is that these so called militants were offered amnesty and they took it, for me  that's a sign of cowardliness, true patroits never compromise their integrity, I'm starting to suspect it's all a political sham!

Ojukwu is not Awolowo, the monkey, who committed suicide and died like a rat poisoned with otapiapia.
Ojukwu left as a gallant soldier,and returned as a gallant soldier. And thats why he still commands respect among his contemporaries till today.

METALONG- u are a true bastard!  You claim Awolowo committed suicide yet you provide no substantial proof of this, you are trying to label a great man into what he is not, apart from Awolowo's political conquest, he was a great achiever, bringing substantial development to his people in the areas of technology, education and health. Can you say the same for Ojukwu? Ojukwu's arrogant nature caused his tribe to continue to suffer to this day, the over aggressive nature of most igbo's makes other ethnic groups in nigeria to wonder if this people are giving power, would they not return nigeria back to the days of slavery. Ojukwu has no shame, all the promises he made(BIAFRA), what happened to them? he exploited the youth and brave igbo men who sacrificed their lives for what now seemed a ill conceived war. Instead of giving your people proper education by building universities and strong health institutions, he paraded himself like the useless tyrant he is, and don't even try to turn this into a yoruba-igbo conflict, because I'm mixed with both myself, and lost people in the biafra war so i know first hand the stupid cost of the war,
