@Alloy emeka   you mean tpia is a female? i refuse henceforth to raise my ''comments'' against a woman. And to answer her question, before i left our shores i did go into business for myself employing close to 10 people. Not much you would say but at least but that was something. If no be police or the economy, na supervisor de find ways of shafting me. It was as if there was a conspiratorial scheme to destroy my efforts. So yes, i did my part, small as it was. TAKE THAT

She is a female with 3 testicles. She is not your average female because her venom is enough to give you myocardial infarction in 2 seconds. All I am saying is for you to be on guard because given the opportunity, she can chop off your manhood in a jiffy.

tpia.:
how can i work for any of those names, as I'm a tribalist.

amoeba.

Tribalism does not react to money. How about that?

kok:
I cant shout! ROFLMAO,  It reminds of the saying, A begger has no choice!

Except the beggar this time has a degree and a bleached fat fool is baiting them with their OWN MONEY.

tpia.:
are you really sure or is there room for doubt

Nothing is impossible in this world. It is a simple allegation and I guess you are presumed guilty until found innocent. it's no more news that our politicians have their agents in nairaland. If you don't work for Akala, I will not be surprised if you work for Ibori, Chimaroke or Odili.

Tudór:
Guy I ask you poverty statistics you go they bring me food. . .haba!

Isn't it obvious to you that most poor families in nigeria engage in subsistence agriculture?

http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/eco_pop_bel_pov_lin-economy-population-below-poverty-lineGive me ONE country Jesus has helped become a world power. . . . Infact going by what is happening in Saudi, Dubai, Abu dabi, Oman, Bahrain, Malaysia and co, i'd say we need ALLAH.

I need a credible source and not a blog. For all I care, that blog could be yours and I expect nothing less than propaganda in it.

Sagamite:
Are you honestly serious? This is your defence for Akala?

And "YOU" are talking about "changing the topic"?

You HONESTLY think this is the intellectual level I debate at? DO YOU?

My guy this is Nairaland. These governors have agents here and many of them are their mistresses. I am sure tpia is one of Akala's mistress.

tpia.:
dont change the topic.

what have [b]you done by way of providing employment for those who dont want to drive a cab.[/b]

If the power vested on Akala can be transfered to him, he will surely come up with something better than bleaching his skin and buying cabs for graduates.

Sagamite:
What is your problem? Will you please leave the geniuses alone?  

I tire for we Nigerians and our mentality. If oyibo dey pop pills, we follow suit. Did he even ask how many Britons with professional degrees drives cabs. Setting an example with immigrants will not cut it after all Akala did not buy the cab for Ghananian or Chadian immigrants.

bidemi12:
@tpia   One of the worst crimes of past and present governments in Nigeria is the gradual erossion of otherwise coherent minds. The symptom is very inherent in your comments. Go to 1402 sanusi fafunwa st. there is a phsycologist there. should be able to help.

Why not refer her to Akala?. I heard he is planning a hair braiding scheme for Nigerians with post graduate degrees. tpia will qualify.  

saworoide:
The man promised to create employment and is "delivering" on his promise to enhance his standing for 2011 elections. I'm not surprised at all as Akala's action is not the most stupid to have come out of Oyo state. Anyone remember Lam Adesina bought and distributed cutlasses to farmers as part of his "agricultural programme".

One of the members of the state house of assembly recently launched his poverty alleviation programme where he distributed 200 crash helmets for Okada riders and the state governor was invited as special guest of honour.

We have a big issue on our hand in this country, our rulers are just treating us as the proverbial slave that is being fed not to be fat but only to be strong enough to serve his master.

Still better than Akala's vision. They shared helmets to okada riders and cutlasses to farmers. Akala did not buy taxis for cab drivers or those who are willing to take the job. It would have been better for him to say he is buying taxis to employ Oyo indigenes who wish to drive a cab. It is now left for the computer engineer to decide for himself whether he or she wants such a job or not. Calling it a graduate employment scheme is where I have a problem. It shows how much he values education and those who strive to get it.

Sholeyb:
Personally, whilst this is not the most ideal situation, I believe it is better than having no job at all. I do not have the overall picture and facts of the matter, however I live in the UK and there are graduates doing all sorts of menial jobs, although I concede they are doing it grudgingly.

Look at it this way, if they get this taxi job and save most of their income, in a few years they may be able to start a business in their 'read' field, leaving behind taxi driving. Like the graduates abroad, they save the money they make abroad and when they return to Naija, they use this money to establish themselves.

Another point is that there is honour in labour, no matter which kind. It is more honourable than looting Nigeria’s coffers, like our so called 'leaders' do. Another point is that a graduate who drives a taxi will more than likely treat their passengers with more respect, this may change the taxi industry in that state for better, to the surprise and benefit of everyone.

It may be an unpleasant situation now, but this is an opportunity for the future.

However what I do not agree with is selling some useless form to them for £1700 and not even trying to create jobs that correlate to their level of literacy, he must go further and create jobs befitting of graduates.

So because graduate are cab drivers in UK, we should follow suit in Nigeria?. I will never vote for you in any election.

Why can't the police raid these areas and arrest the culprits?.

Abuzola:
Aloy must u display unintelligency,who told you amen is not amin in English. Cross worshipper ve a serious problem, i don't blame them because even their god was confused when dying see mathew 27:46

It's lack of intelligence and not unintelligency; That is not english.

I thought Fashola will win one.

Did they do it specifically for grads?. Fashola bought cabns but not for graduates.

tpia.:
dont PhDs drive cabs abroad or is it just me.

A PHD holder who drives a cab in Nigeria lacks substance. The ones who drive a cab abroad are not citizens on that country and it's quite different from asking him or her to do the same job in his motherland.  Instead of insulting these graduates and the parents who paid their school fees, why not ignore them?. If he must give them jobs as agbero, why collect N1700 application fee?.  Most of them who wants to do it are complaining that since Akala took their pay 2 years ago, they are still to see a cab. Taking advantage of the poor is inhuman and I hope he burns in hell for that. Why are people whose name are Alao so wicked?. Arisekola Alao is the meanest dwarf from west Africa. I don't know why God still kept him alive.

That is Nigerians for you. Do something for them, they complain; stop doing anything. they still complain.

Spam checker ban my name over nothing.

uplawal:
okay ameen(amin)=amen in english ignorant dude

Amen is not english.

When will Muslims start shouting alleluia?

I sabi bust bottle for people's head. You think there will be no bottle busting in Akala's job?. Agbero job na agbero job whether na real tout or engineer dey inside.

I know my way to motor parks and have serious connections at IDDO park. I don't need Akala's job in every shape and form.

uplawal:
@Aloy Emeka and Richyblack,ISLAM is never outdated,it has come to stay for ever,and all Adulterers shall continue to be stone to death insha Allah(amen)

We have a serious problem in this world. Since when did muslims start using "amen"?

I hope the harvard grad is not Sjeezy. If not, does he have COREN certification?.  Is he a member of SPE?. Akala has standards.

dayokanu:
WHat is the job requirement.

Do they take Second class Upper or is it just First class?

Must it only be Engineers or can Medical graduates apply too?.

What is the age requirement? How many years work experience is needed?

We need more information and he can also post it on Monster.com

You must be a member of IEEE to qualify.

msaalli:
  This is seriously a contender for the joke of the century. BUt then coming from Akala who had a "three day carnival"(in my own words) to celebrate the purchase of 16 refuse trucks in August, I FAIL to be amazed.

nellaluv:
Truth hurts. Yoruba people are shameless. Hate all u can, i care less.

A very bad thing to say about people. tpia got herself a sister in you .When did tribalism find it's way to celebrity section?

That little boy is very funny. very slimy.

udezue:
Who gives a rat's ass if its not celebrated in Ngwa and Ndoki? ahhhh una dey argue over spilt milk. Only 2 communities hence they fall  under a tiny minority if you are correct. Iri ji, Ikeji is still a popular event across Igbo land so whether your immediate community does not do doesn't change the fact that majority of us do it. What's your point?

Why are so imposing?. if their people do not do the festival, why insult her over it?. Ngwa people have a peculiar culture in igboland. is it not the home town of Eze Enweremadu?

I really don't blame Alao Akala in this case. It's the stupid graduates who stooped so low to buy application forms for 1700. No wonder our todays graduates have low acumen. If you want to be an Ibadan taxi driver, you do not need Akala's programme to get a cab. Just hang out in the park for 3 months and you will surely land one. Why didn't they stone that ministry that sold the forms to them?.

Akala is working hard to change Oyo state. First he built public toilets and before other governors could catch up, he is buying taxi cabs for Oyo graduates. I am sure his next line of action will be to buy pincers and hammers so that the remaining jobless graduates can easily become carpenters.

Kunbee:
Emeka i go vex for u ooo

Why not rate her na?. She is in the same class with Tonto Dike and Nonso diogo and co.

Person don chop shyt for this country. After wasting 5 years in engineering school, what this fat fool who gallivants around the world with our money can suggest is taxi driving programme after pimping the unemployed by selling the application forms to them.

Chinwikpe Okezie, the alleged murderer




http://odili.net/news/source/2009/oct/8/618.html

Was it a case of love gone sour or that of a professed love to one’s heartthrob being turned down or truncated by forces more powerful? No matter the deductions one makes out of the story, the deed has been done, and the deceased has been left for the bereaved to bury.

Okwoyi Isieke Ibeku is a rural village in Umuahia North local government area of Abia State. The usually peaceful community,which is just about three kilometres away from the heart of the state capital, was thrown into mourning, anger, and confusion on Wednesday evening, when the news filtered into the community that a 17 year-old young man had murdered a 35 year old mother in a cassava farm.

Members of the community, particularly the leadership of the youth, gathered and formed a search party. They went after the alleged killer, going from one neighbouring village to another, apparently to deny the murderer any form of escape and to hand him over to law enforcement agents.

Their efforts paid off after much exertion of energy; the alleged murderer, Chinwikpe Okezie, who allegedly committed the heinous crime at about 5 p.m., was tracked down at about 3 a.m. the next day at a bush path in the neighbouring village.

It was discovered that he had his own network of informants to help him immediately he fled the community after committing the dastardly act.

Investigations conducted by FeaturesXtra revealed that Chinwikpe regularly visits Okwoyi Isieke Ibeku, which is his maternal community, where he had lived with his mother in Okwoyi Isieke Ibeku, since the mother was thrown out of her husband’s house unceremoniously.

Another version to the personality of the Chinwikpes had it that his mother had no clear cut means of livelihood and was also a trouble maker in the community.

This, members of the community said, made her husband to wake up one morning and engage the services a truck driver, who helped him to pack her belongings back to her community in the full glare of everyone present at the market square of the village. Her bride price was not paid.

Members of the community, in separate interviews, said that Chinwikpe had, about two years ago, used a cutlass to cut the hand of one of his older kinsmen during a fight. Also, no member of the community could confirm his source of livelihood.

While some said he never attended school, others said he was a drop out, while some others said he was available for any casual labour since he was not known to be on apprenticeship with anyone.

Speaking with FeaturesXtra, a former youth leader of the community, Mr. Ibeabuchi Abarikwu, said the deceased, Chikamnayo Nwakaaku Young (nee Ikpo), aged 35, was a native of Okwoyi Isieke Ibeku in the Umuahia North Local government area of the state, but was married to one Abel Young, an indigene of Amankwu Amiibo in Ubakala community of Umuahia South local government area of the state.

Abarikwu said the couple got separated when the man could not complete the payment of brideprice on Chikamnayo, a development which he said made her to take her children along with her to her father’s house.

”Chikamnayo is a peasant farmer. She had gone to her farm in the morning of the day of the incident. Earlier, before the day of the incident, her assailant, Chinwikpe, had been threatening her, and telling people that he would kill the woman.

“Chinwikpe’s mother is from Okwoyi Isieke Ibeku, just like the deceased. Interestingly, no other girl in the community caught Chinwikpe’s admiration and love except the deceased’s daughter, Chinagorom Young, aged 17. He was trying to befriend the daughter of the deceased, which the deceased vehemently opposed, saying that her daughter is a blood sister to the boy.

She said they couldn’t have any love relationship. Many people are aware of how the girl in question had rejected the advances of the boy on many occasions, yet he continued to trouble the girl.

“Their neighbours even said that the boy had succeeded in raping the girl once, saying their houses are close to one another. So, because the mother refused to consent to their relationship, the boy vowed that he would kill the deceased and also rubbish the girl.

“The deceased had made several complaints to elders of the community, among other people, yet no action was taken, not even calling the boy to order.

“On Wednesday morning, Chikamnayo went to her farm. However, one of her friends in the community, who had a funny feeling, a sense of an impending danger, about her friend, went to her house to warn her about the ominous feeling she had about her. But the woman only met her children, who told their mother’s friend that their mother had gone to the farm.

She, therefore, traced her to the farm, where she met her and told her about the feeling of danger she was having. She succeeded in persuading the deceased to come back to the village with her.

“As fate would have it, the children had nothing to eat at home and the deceased decided to go back to her farm in the evening, at about 5 p.m., to get some vegetables needed to cook a meal for her children. People said immediately she left, they saw Chinwikpe trailing the deceased to the farm.

“When we saw her corpse, already battered by machete cuts in the chest and back, with her face lying on the ground, we learnt that the boy was still lurking around the vicinity. Thus, we alerted everyone in the community.

We also raised a search party. Do you know that it was not until 3 a.m. on Thursday that we eventually caught the boy in a neighbouring community? We then handed him over to the police. The police have since commenced investigations into the matter.”

Asked what he knew of the boy previously, Ibeabuchi said:“Two years ago, when I was the youth leader in the community, Chinwikpe’s elder brother used a machete to cut the arm of one of his elder kinsmen in the community. Then, I warned his people that he should not come back to the community after the incident”, he said.

Describing how they tracked the suspect down in the dead of the night, the youth leader said, “It was a tough experience. When we got the information that he was still hanging around in the area after committing the crime, we mobilised all the youth in the area and searched the community.

We immediately went from Ukome to other neighbouring villages. We also gathered that some people were communicating to him through GSM phones about our journey, which we made with a car, and particularly about my personal involvement in the effort to get him. At a point, we would see him, but he would quickly hide inside the bush on seeing the head lamp of the car we were using to track him.

So, at a point, I advised that we should park the car and go on foot. We then mobilised all the neighbouring communities. Again, he saw us and tried to take cover in the bush. As he was scampering out of the bush at Isieke, we caught him and handed him over to the police.”

Meanwhile, a new twist was added to the story as some sympathisers of the alleged murderer insisted that Chiwinkpe was a friend to the deceased’s daughter and that she even had an issue for the alleged murderer. Speaking on this twist, a native of the village, who wanted to remain anonymous, denied such a story, describing it as a figment of the peddlers’ imagination.

“They were not friends at all. The deceased’s daughter told me that the guy had made several attempts to befriend her, while the girl said she shouted ‘obara Jesus’, meaning blood of Jesus. The guy knows what that means. Yet he continued to pester her. The guy succeeded in raping the girl; the whole village can testify to this. Because of the incident, the girl cried out to the whole community. If they were friends, there would not have been such an alarm.

“Because of this incident, the deceased did not hide the matter but cried out to the whole community over the sacrilegious occurence. The deceased even contacted the guy’s mother with the hope that his mother would caution him. But due to the way the guy was brought up, he never listened to his mother, as his mind was already made up. The elders were still looking into the matter until the killing of the deceased.

If he was innocent or ignorant of what he did, he would not have run away. When he was eventually caught in the bush, he never argued about his offence. He never uttered a word. There was a feeling of disgust and shock because the village saw it as a sacrilege for a boy to have killed someone in his maternal home.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian Tribune gathered that the case is being handled by the state Criminal Investigations Department (CID), Umuahia, while the village called on the police to look carefully into the case. They said the boy should not be allowed bail and that he should face the consequences of his action.

“Our community is a law-abiding one. We could have meted out justice to him the night we caught him, but we decided to hand him over to the police immediately. We believe in the police and the court of law. Justice must take its full course. Such a thing has never happened in our place before”, he said.
