PoliticsRe: Atiku's And Buhari's VP Do Not Matter In The Political Equation by Afam4eva(op): 5:23pm On Oct 12, 2018
Racoon:
I tend to disagree with you my 042 brother.The geographical background of both aspirants matter as they serve to leverage each other.
If it was that important, asl yourself why Ojukwu, Orji Uzor Kalu and other popular Igbos that ran for the presidency could not win the election in the zone or why Obasanjo did not really enjoy the support of his people. If that was the case why are people in both regions not considering voting for Kingsley Moghalu and Fela Durotoye.
PoliticsAtiku's And Buhari's VP Do Not Matter In The Political Equation by Afam4eva(op): 5:17pm On Oct 12, 2018
Since Atiku became the candidate of PDP for the presidential election billed to hold next year, there have been a lot of talk about who he should pick as his vice and even though we knew he was most likely going to pick from the South-East. There were some dissenting voices that felt that he should pick from the SW in order to win the Yorubas over and these people felt that the SE will vote for Atiku either way.

I'm sorry to burst your bubble but where the Atiku's VP comes from will not make any difference because like i stated sometime ago, the election will be won in the north and not the south. It's also important to note that southerners are not moved by the fact that a VP is picked from their region. Yorubas did not vote for APC because Buhari had a Yoruba deputy. They did so because the structure that is APC which is headed by their Leader asked them to do so. if Buhari asks them to vote for Atiku even without a Yoruba vice, they will sway towards him. So, if Atiku has picked a SW vice instead of Peter, it wouldn't make a single difference. Igbos would also still vote for Atiku irrespective of who Atiku picked. Forget the threats by some Igbo groups.

I'm disappointing that such an open minded individual such as yourself could run along with other mediocres in limiting our political space to two incompetent past failures, as you are doing with such a topic, "Buhari vs Atiku".

There are so many other candidates in this upcoming election, some with masters degrees from ivy league universities. These are universities with HUGE resources, that spend a lot of money on research in social, economic, medical, engineering... fields, fields responsible for the very tiny semblance of modern livelihood you are currently enjoying, yet all you guys see is the typical political jamboree, were every 4 years, you get to gist with your friends about which of the slave masters is a lesser evil. No one ever focuses on ideas, solutions to problems, NOTHING!!! Just useless beer palour gist.

Shame on all you useless Nigerians, may your unborn generation forgive you for always repeating the same mistakes.
huh
PoliticsAtiku Vs Buhari: Why Buhari May Still Win by Afam4eva(op): 3:56pm On Oct 11, 2018
A lot of people, including myself have been very happy that Atiku won the PDP primaries and will face-off with the current President, Buhari in a keenly contested presidential election. But i think depending on what happens from now till the election day, this election may come second to the the one in 2015 in terms of competition. As much as i'm hoping that Atiku carries the day, there are some things that are making me think that a lot of people, including myself may just be disappointed.

Even though, i think Atiku will do well in the southern part of Nigeria, I put it to every that next year's election will be won in the North, more specifically, Kano state will play a key role in who wins. When i saw the number of registered voters in Kano, i was seriously SHOOK. Let's not forget that Buhari has a cult followership in the core north. I'm yet to come across any northerner that does not support Buhari. Mind you the ones i come across are the educated ones and i dare say that they're the minority in that region. The average northerner is sold on Buhari irrespective f his policies, whether good or bad. Even though Atiku is a northerner and will challenge Buhari to the northern votes, him winning will depend on how much votes he can wrestle from Buhari. if he can manage to pull atleast 40% of Kano vote for example, i think he stands a pretty good chance. But i won't hold my breadth on that one. Let's wait and see who comes out victorious. My heart say Atiku, my head says Buhari.

However, I won't lie, I see some truths in some of his commentary but I think it's a bit too much in my opinion.

Owerri isn't an artificial creation. It has been there as a town of 5 clans for centuries before becoming a city. Is Obosi in Onitsha?
You're talking about the original Owerri but cities are not hamlets, they grow and expand with time.
PoliticsRe: . by Afam4eva(m): 10:10pm On Oct 03, 2018
Abagworo:
Orji is a town of its own close to Owerri. It still has rural parts and has never been part of Owerri Nchise. The relationship between Orji and Owerri is that they are both of Uratta clan like Egbu, Emii, Emekuku, Naze, Awaka and other Uratta speaking towns.
Owerri, just like most cities in the world are artificial creations, so most towns around it are part and parcel of the city.

SportsRe: Aston Villa Sacks Coach Steve Bruce by Afam4eva(m): 7:14pm On Oct 03, 2018
LuciferKristi:
Steve Bruce, like Roy Hodgson, Sam Allardyce, Harry Redknapp & Mark Hughes, is just another useless, clueless English manager jumping from club to club whilst offering the same nonsense for ten years now.

Soon, he'll manage Fulham or Huddersfield or some lowlife club in England.

These types can't be employed outside of England because they have nothing meaningful to offer. They only find jobs because they are British.

*spits angry
I think they should be coaching teams in the championship and 3rd division. All premiership clubs should be filled with foreign coaches because those English coaches have nothing to offer. They're so average that you can't tell some of them apart and the club they coach.

B2mario:
I wonder what my friends are doing here. Orji is part of the greater Owerri metropolis just as Obosi is part of the greater Onitsha metropolis. Can someone mention Aba metropolis without the inclusion of Eziukwu, Ogbor-hill and Osisioma.
I've noticed that we Igbos don't think big. We're always myopic in our thinking, that's why someone can say that Obosi and Orji are not in Onitsha and Owerri respectively when cities outgrow their current limit and become bigger with time. As far as i'm concerned Owerri stretches as far as Ogbaku in Mbaitoli Loca government. Let's think big and stop making our cities look like little hamlets.

Even though Rochas has his flaws, I think there's a calculated attempt to bring down his government at all cost.

While others parts of Nigeria suffer flooding and they go unnoticed, every day there's a flood in Owerri it hits the internet.

I am not a fan of Rochas myself, but I will always insist that critics must criticise with common sense so that they don't look stupid

Personally, I am tired of seeing Rochas as Imo governor and I won't miss him as governor. Imo State just needs a better leader but I don't see that coming from brazenly corrupt Imo PDP

I'd rather APC continues in Imo State than the PDP. Yes, PDP has worked in many South East states, but it has certainly not worked in Imo
Shouldn't that tell you that it's a function of individuals rather than political party?

Though I also agree with you on APC continuing in Imo state but just because it's Ugwumba that they are presenting. The guys in PDP are old and washed up.
PoliticsRe: . by Afam4eva(m): 5:37pm On Sep 30, 2018
As much as I'm embarrassed for people like bestview, I think what he said about Enugu people using Anambra dialect may be true to some level.

Unlike in Owerri where you hear people speaking Owerri dialect in conjunction with central Igbo. In Enugu town people mainly speak with central Igbo which is very similar to popular Anambra dialects. For instance when Nnia Nwodo was addressing Asaba people at the remembrance, he was speaking pure Anambra accent. Though you wont see a lot of Enugu people using "Fancha" as opposed to "Hancha" but what they speak is very similar to Anambra dialects and I think it's because of the fact that Enugu was influenced a lot by Anambra people. After they used to be one state.
