It is the Northerners and those Nigeriens that dot the whole street begging for alms. Igbos don't beg for alms.

Advice from a failure. Must you act obscene scenes? Why not be like Chioma Chukwura Akpota or Omotola Ekeinde? These are first class actresses keeping their home and carrier.

Chioma Chukwuka is divorced over 10 years ago.

meobizy:
Marriage is always going to hold somebody back. We were raised to be independent. All of a sudden, we're forced to depend on another while trying to chase our dreams. Ko le werk. I will achieve my dreams first before giving this marriage thing a go.

Make sure you hold a man down till you are ready. E get why

WizardOfNG:
He will be prosecuted and jailed there as happened yo Adeyinka Grandson. After that his life is downhill because he will have a criminal record making it harder for him to live and thrive in Finland.

We hear he was conscripted into the Finnish armed forces. Well, he will be dishonoursbly discharged if still serving.

When we tell some people that the West is not Nigeria they take for a joke, they insult you.

Shebi Ekpa was forming superman, while his kinsmen stood solidly behind him. Well, let them start donating money for him to relocate to Nigerian after serving his time.in Finland because he is done over there now. Totally fcked.

As I always warn those people, "act in haste, repent at leisure". I am sure Ekpa now has enough free time on his hand to fully realize the folly of his ways and past actions.

You hate Ekpa but make excuses for APC that empowered Fulani bandits to invade, massacre and sack communities without any justice. Are you okay?

WizardOfNG:
Nigeria should learn good standards and practices from the West and stop disgracing us. Adeyinka Grandson charged, prosecuted and jailed quickly for hate speech the UK.

Ekpa too now charged quickly in Finland and surely to be found guilty and jailed.

Meanwhile there is a media circus around Kanu for years now, when he is a thousand time worse than the two above with countless blood of the innocent on his hand.

Is it that Nigeria and Nigerians have no shame at all considering the judiciary, with thousands of evidence to jail Kanu for life, continues the disgraceful charade all Nigerians have the misfortune of being associated with while Kanu's people, continue to insist on his innocence?

Now that Ekpa is formally charged, I dare Kanu's supporters to attend his hearing in Finland and cause a nuisance as they have been doing in Nigeria. Let us see if they will not be jailed foe public disorder and contempt of court asap.

Where is that Gidgiddy sef? Lol.

A weak Judiciary benefits not only Tinubu, but every law breaker. Isnt it?

ALTERNATEID:
Lagos is a pure Yoruba state so I don’t understand what honest answer you are looking for when you are not honest with yourself by telling me Lagos is not a Yoruba state. 90% of those that wrote JAMB in Lagos are Yoruba people and they are the most affected by the glitch.

Why did Obi win in Lagos inspite of the predominance of yorubas as you claim?

ALTERNATEID:
lol. 90% of the candidates in Lagos are Yoruba. Stop deceiving yourself with crude lies.

How many yorubas can afford to settle in Lagos?

ALTERNATEID:
lol. Like I wrote before, the aim of this thread is to set the records straight and put a lie to the falsehood of those attempting to ethnicize the jamb glitch. If setting the records straight is giving you migraines, deal with it buddy. The truth stands irrespective of how you feel about it. The glitch affected more people in the South west than the south east so you guys should stop trying to ethnicize the unfortunate situation.

If you were hired to launder the badly battered image of JAMB, they should ask for a refund. You are projecting a very shaky argument.
Are you actually the best they can hire? APC and mediocrity are complementary items.

ALTERNATEID:
You mean all the 173,000 candidates affected in some south east states are Ibo?
How did you arrive at this very factual conclusion

Over 90% percent of all the south east dwellers are Igbos.

ALTERNATEID:
This thread is to set the records straight and stop the falsehood being propagated by some liars and bigots.

Majority of those affected by the JAMB glitch are Yoruba candidates in Lagos. Yet, the people of the South West are not crying about ethnic targeting because we understand that such technical glitch can occur. However, it is really very sad and annoying seeing some folks trying to use the unfortunate occurrence to score cheap points of bigotry.

The young boys and girls who wrote the exam are a strong part of Nigeria’s future. Why are some of these folks trying to poison their minds with seeds of division, hatred and victim mentality over a technical glitch? To what end? Politics? This is just so pathetic and sympathetic at the same time.

Lagos is not a core Yoruba settlement. A randomly selected Lagos UTME candidate has greater likelihood to be non-yoruba than yoruba. Amongst the non-yorubas in Lagos, which is the most populous ethnic group? An honest answer will cure your hate.

Tochitee:
I really pity the guy wife! Na the most traumatising thing for am be that! By his tenth year in jail, him wife would have aborted more than 10 ten times and given birth to different men self! Especially when he realised it was a young Ibo girl they used to set him up, using fendi to pepper him 19 years old girl! The thing go vex the woman go!

You forgot his wife is not yoruba.

Owaincouncil:
As much as I dont like the man because of his religious bigotry, this act is a sign of humility, acceptance of responsibility and readiness to correct mistakes unlike our leaders of today that sees themselves above all.
If he decided not to do what he did, heaven will not fall.

Every thief is sorry and sober once cdught. He was caught red-handed in mischief.

Once someone never include Tinubu, unah body no go calm.

Whose policy created an unprecedented poverty in this country? You people just keep defending nonsense for pittance. Just pity your unborn children whom you have contributed to consign to a life of misery ahead of their birth.

Congrats to him but Sadly,

the most Educated and Academically gifted people are not guaranteed the best in life.

The Edo State Governor with his Weak WAEC Result occupy the highest office in his state

Through thuggery? In saner climes, there is always a relationship between education and success. Nigeria is a different case.

sreamsense:
That is only the self-consolation message of deceit you like to hear if you want to deceive yourself.

Why is army begging?

Army is begging because their is shortage of able men that could apply from Biafran.

What caused shortages of able men from Biafra land since they were always over applied before?

Shortages occured after many able men that Kanu showed their huge population some where in the bushes recruiting them as ESN to fight for Biafra as ipob. Many of these men were killed in their bush hideout by army. More of these youths were also killed targeting police and army. Some were killed by jungle justice from people when they enforce Stay at Home in some public places.

Were the same army begging south west and north west youths to join army?

No, because nobody deceived or wasted their youths for any futureless biafra, there was no shortages among them unlike among Biafrans that ipob wasted able youths.

Are their reasons for NNPC, CBN and CAC to beg south east youths for employment ?


There is no need since their is no shortage in numbers of those that apply there either from south east, south west or from north. These were not the people bombed in their bush camps, killed in the public as ESN members. So, the population of these agencies are not affected. Application to these agencies remain competitive as usual.

Shut up this rabble rouser. They are not in shortage of staff in NNPC because of their secret recruitments that steal SE quota in favour of other regions. Let them steal SE quota in the Army as they are accustomed to doing. Why the noise?

SmartPolician:
You people need to stop this persecution complex. If you join the military, be ready to join the fight against Boko Haram in the north. Nobody forced anyone to join the military.

You are wrong. They are almost coercing Igbos to join the army through show of fake concern and love. You saw the army cleaning refuse in Onitsha the other day just to warm themselves into the hearts of igbos. We no do ehhhh

Lifestone:
I hope you safe this argument for the generations to come. Because then, you will start shouting marginalization in the Military.
South East is again making some serious mistakes here

Who send government privileges? We have since grown thick skin to deprivations. It has made us to depend on ourselves for livelihood and it is working. Those that will complain are the useful idiots of igbo extraction that will grieve if they eventually loose out of the power equation.

Mishaya:
Chinedu Ikenna from Abia state

As an Igbo man, I write this with a very heavy heart beginning by saying that the arrest and prosecution of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is not a political vendetta but a matter of national security, justice and the preservation of law and order and most importantly the unity of our dear country Nigeria. I am saying this with all emphasis that Nigerians must not forget the trail of inflammatory rhetoric, incitement of violence, and outright terrorism that accompanied Kanu’s rise as a separatist agitator. His vile antecedents are not far-fetched, most are so fresh in our minds, and for those that may forget a few clicks on the internet will avail too many to count.

Some of Kanu’s public broadcasts, many of which are on record and admitted into evidence in court, constitute a direct incitement to arson, murder, and rebellion. For instance, Kanu explicitly called for the burning of the NITEL building and other Federal Government properties in Lagos, holding the city and the nation ransom for grievances he pinned on political figures such as Bola Ahmed Tinubu. In his words: “Every Federal Government property in Lagos must be burnt... Tinubu’s hotel must be burnt down.” These are not the words of a peaceful agitator, they are those of a man actively advocating for domestic terrorism.

Like the plans he executed in Anambara or his well known intentions in "yes daddy" leaked audio clip ?

Give us details of that we'll known intention that was leaked in 'yes daddy' audio clip?

IHate9jerianss:
No Sir.
Women are much more realistic & practical than men.
They are simply "herd-followers" of other women so that they will not be ostracized by their social group
Expulsion from their group is highly detrimental to the average woman

'Herd-followers' have very low IQ. That is why a woman will do exactly what the last person did and was hurt as long as it tickles her fancy.

@Emboldened

How naive of you

Women generally do not give a sh.it about male validation

Women usually do what they do because they see other women doing it

End off...

Peter obi was a failure as Anambra governor period.

You guys will never recover from the shock of loosing t Lagos State Tinubu built to the 'Agulu packaged fraud' in 2023 election. More shockers are coming

abibun:
IKENNA EMEWU


When Peter Obi came to power as Anambra State governor in March 2006, there were 781 secondary schools comprising 257 public and 524 private in the state

Also, there were 1,038 public and private primary schools in the state.

Apart from private schools, it is not on record that any government in South East Nigeria established new primary or secondary schools in the past 25 years. The reason is because the states in the region already have enough schools. What is needed is sound management. That is the right touch Obi brought in his days.

The number of secondary schools in Anambra in Obi’s days was an average of 37.19 for each of the 21 LGAs, and 49.42 primary schools in each.

Anambra also has 16 tertiary institutions in the 21 LGAs. Among the tertiary institutions, six are public while 10 are private. All the public ones were there when Obi came to power, so he didn’t need to waste resources to establish new schools. Peter Obi was not in office to waste money and build more schools nobody needed to please social media jesters, but to grow and manage to efficacy, the existing ones.

Who doesn’t give Obi credit for his prudence in the management of resources, apart from hack writers and commentators who work for their stomach infrastructure?

A state as Anambra with its small landmass and with 1,835 schools across primary, secondary, and tertiary is clustered with schools. It has enough already and just needs good quality management. That is what Obi did as a great leader sound in fruitful resource allocation.

Since Obi’s days as governor when he laid the right foundation for the education sector of the state, Anambra has always ranked between 2nd and 4th in literacy rate among the 36 states. Building schools was not a priority in Anambra. You build schools when you don’t have them and maintain them when you have.

Youth literacy in Anambra, according to the Nigerian Bureau of Statistics (NBS) in 2010 was 92.8 percent, while adult literacy was 72.8 percent. Obi was governor between March 2006 and March 2014 and within this assessment period. It was in his days that Anambra rose 26 places from the 27th in education ranking among the 36 states to the 1st position.

Because Obi made a positive difference, Anambra has been leading in basic education in Nigeria, especially in science and technology. In 2018, five students from Regina Pacis Model Secondary School, Onitsha, grabbed the number one trophy at the World Technovation Challenge, held in Silicon Valley, San Francisco, USA.

History repeated in favour of Anambra education quality in 2019 when students of St. John’s Science & Technical College Alor, won bronze at the International Festival of Engineering, Science and Technology I-FEST in Tunisia.

It was beyond coincidence that in 2021, students of Queen of the Rosary College (QRC), Onitsha dusted over 5,000 other teams from around the world to win the Global Prize Award at the Diamond Challenge Global Summit.

CKC, Onitsha won the World Affairs College Challenge 2024, the first time for Nigeria. That was after it won the African Regional Competition prize in January 2024 which enabled the team to represent Africa to win the global trophy.

These were all made possible because Peter Obi returned public schools built by the missions to the churches that originally owned them. His reasoning was proven right because he observed that all private schools operated by churches were adequately managed. That paid off as he backed the churches up with grants they took off with. This feat has been sustained by his successor governors.

During and after this period of the education revolution Obi introduced, Anambra State excelled for three successive years as the best in WAEC SSCE and NECO examinations.

I take time to show the figures to let Reno Omokri who has etched his peculiar infamy in social media jester writing that he is a starter and needs to hone his art properly. You can’t go far laying unverified claims to intellectualism when pedestrian interest drives your conviction.

He raised his mockery, a word that actually rhymes with his name, that Obi didn’t build any school when in office, and quoting him, he has a prize of $10,000 for anyone who proves his claim otherwise. It’s ridiculous to imagine that Reno appropriates to himself excessive importance to think that Obi was in power to service his tantrums.

The best Reno does is entertain the failing Tinubu political clan by trumpeting his banal cogitations that Obi built only a brewery while in office. Building a brewery is not a criminal offence under any known law in Nigeria. It is an investment that resulted in the creation of over 10,000 direct and indirect jobs for Nigerians across many states.

Obi didn’t do any wrong in that. While Obi left a hefty purse his successor inherited, the one Reno sings for colonised Lagos for 25 years, running it as a private estate for himself and his family members, and has not stopped. As Obi left investment and cash in Anambra coffers, and no debt, Tinubu whom Reno champions his cause left only debts.

However, much as Tinubu’s eight years of supervising Lagos has no history of building a single school, he also didn’t build a brewery like Obi did. We know the type of employment he created at CMS, TBS, and other bus stops where promising young men had the opportunity to ruin their futures.

I align this Reno inanity to Tinubu because he sings for him for his daily bread, a reason he left Obi he praised as Nigeria’s best for years because Obi refused to be his victim. It is the same reason he deserted Atiku Abubakar when he didn’t win the election or was rigged out. Reno is like the proverbial goat that follows only those that bear the palm fronds, quoting an Igbo adage.

For the records, Muhammadu Buhari, the definition of failed leadership by all facets of rating established 11 new federal universities between 2015 and 2023, and further approved 15 state universities through the National Universities Commission, and 50 private universities. The federal universities span across military, maritime, medical, and other fields. All the 25 public universities created, or approved under his watch were plagued by the crippling ASUU strikes of his regime.

However, by whatever means Reno has exited his economic fugitive status to have a $10,000 unverified purse to stake for someone who gave him the name of a school Obi built, since Buhari established 75 universities, and his friend, Reno assesses quality leadership by such tenets, he can give his coveted prize to his good friend, Buhari.

When writing aims only to fill the tummy, its importance lasts just as short as the period between the ingestion of the proceeds and the excretion of the waste from it. This is where Reno would rightly

Peter Obi was a collosal failure when he was Anambra state governor

Peter Obi built no single school through out his tenure apart from refurbishing some.

The education he built that you people might want to be alluding to, it has come out that the state education is full of malpractices hence leading in anything exams malpractices.

The doctors went on strike for over a year

He didn't conduct LG election for good 7 years until his last year which was even forced by court

The hero beer which he invested the state funds on which is even illegal is worth to nothing as at today

The kidnapping and all sorts of criminal activities was at the highest peak during Peter Obi's tenure as Anambra state governor. Evans became notorious during that time

No narration you people can tell about Peter Obi that are not fake or half details.

Modified: Block me and stop seeing my comments instead of getting banned unnecessarily. I can see some goats drinking pap already with their attacking. All thanks to the anti spam bot

Funny boy. You must earn your stipend as online e-rat unleashed to demarket Peter Obi which has proved to be effort in futility.

FUNDAMENTAL ACHIEVEMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF ANAMBRA STATE (PARTIAL LISTING)

1. Anambra was the first State to commence Sub-Sovereign Wealth savings, the first of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa. At a time many other Governors were leaving huge debts, I left the equivalent of $500 million Dollars in investment as well as local and foreign currency, including $156 million in Dollar-denominated bonds.

2. For the first time in the history of Anambra State, Ambassadors and High Commissioners of notable countries such as United Stated, Britain, Russia, European Union, South Africa, Belgium, Israel, the Netherlands, Canada, among others, visited the State. Before my tenure, Anambra was practically a pariah state blacklisted by the Diplomatic Corps and international development partners.

3. Development partners such as UNDP, UNICEF, the World Bank, DFID, the European Union etc., which hitherto were not in Anambra State started working with the State. Anambra was consistently adjudged one of the best states in development partnership and commitment to reforms for good governance.

4. He was recognised as Best Governor by the Millennium Development Goals Office (OSSAP-MDGs) and the UNDP in the implementation of their programmes in Nigeria.

5. The Nigerian Debt Management Office (DMO) rated Anambra as the least indebted state in Nigeria. In spite of visible and measurable achievements recorded in various sectors, the State under him did not borrow or raise bonds for her various projects.

6. The Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria rated Anambra State as the most financially stable state in the country.

7. The State's ground-breaking return of schools to their original owners - Voluntary Agencies (Churches) on 1st January 2009, and subsequent partnership with the Agencies in Education, saw the State move from 24th position out of 36 States to Number One in National Examination Council (NECO) and West African Examination Council (WAEC) examinations for three consecutive years. This made the World Bank to commission a study, led by the renowned Prof. Paul Collier of Oxford University, on this revolutionary partnership and phenomenal achievement.

8. The State also entered into strategic partnership with the Churches in the Health sector. This symbiotic relationship resulted in a tremendous boost to health care because of the services offered by health institutions owned by Voluntary Agencies, while the State restored grants to the agencies and made available to them more than 50 million Dollars in various types of support.

10. Through partnership with the Church in the Health sector, his Government funded the transformation of -:

a: Iyienu Hospital, Ogidi;
b: Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Ihiala;
c: St Charles Borromeo Hospital, Onitsha;
d: Holy Rosary Hospital, Waterside, Onitsha; and
e: St. Joseph Hospital, Adazi-Nnukwu.
His Government also built the Joseph Nwilo Heart Centre in St. Joseph, Adazi-Nnukwu, where heart operations are now being performed.

11. His Government won the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (1 Million dollars) as the best-performing state in immunisation in the South-East. With complementary funding from our Government, they used the money to build 10 Maternal and Child Care Centres across the State, particularly in rural communities, in partnership with the Churches.

12. The State was the first to procure and distribute more than 30,000 computers to secondary schools, including 22,500 from HP. The Managing Director for Personal Systems Group HP Inc, Mr. FabriceCampoy described the deployment as the biggest of such projects in the Middle-East and Africa.

13. Anambra State Government provided Microsoft Academies to more than 500 secondary schools, which the Head of Microsoft in Nigeria (Mr. Ken Span) described as the biggest such deployment in Africa so far.

14. The State provided Internet access to more than 500 secondary schools, which the CEO of Galaxy Backbone (Mr. Gerald Ilukwe) characterized as incomparable to any in the country.

15. More than 700 buses were provided to secondary schools in the State by our Government.

16. Boreholes were provided in schools all over the State.

17. Numerous classrooms were built in all the 177 communities of the State.

18 As part of the efforts to turn around the economy of the State, a number of companies were attracted to build their facilities in the Anambra State. A case in point is SABMiller, the 2nd largest brewery in the world, which built their first Green Field facility in the State, which is today one of the most successful facilities they operate globally.

19. A number of other companies followed the SABMiller initiative and were all supported and encouraged under our Government; a good example is INNOSON Motor Manufacturing Company, from which our government bought more than 1,000 vehicles.

20. Anambra State for the first time started close collaboration with recognized government security agencies (the Police, Army, Navy, Department of State Security, Civil Defence, among others), offering them various types of support including provision of more than 500 security vehicles. The improvement in security was phenomenal, such that the former IG of Police (Abubakar Mohammed) lauded Anambra State for not witnessing any bank robbery in my last three years in office.

21. To further enhance security, Anambra State provided at least one security vehicle to each of all the 177 communities in the State as well as various organizations such as markets and Churches.

22. His Administration conceived and built, from scratch, the first state-owned Teaching Hospital, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu teaching Hospital, Awka.

23. His Government commenced the planned development of the Igbariam Campus of the ChukwuemekaOdumegwu-Ojukwu University, including the fencing, construction of internal roads, electrification, construction of the Faculty of Law, Auditorium, Administrative Block, Faculty of Agriculture, Management Building, among others).

24. His Government attracted the World Bank support on erosion - National Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP) - to Anambra State.

25. His Government was the first to do Poverty Mapping in Nigeria, as a guide for the effective implementation of our poverty-alleviation strategies.

26 His Government, for the first time, undertook the aerial mapping of Awka as well as the production of Structure Plans for Awka Capital Territory, Onitsha and Nnewi.

27. During his tenure and with his Government's support, Anambra State became an oil producing State.

28. He built the first Secretariat Complex to house State Government Ministries that were hitherto scattered around the State.

29. His government commenced the development of the 'Three Arms Zone' comprising Government House/Governor’s Lodge, Legislative Building/Speakers Residence, and Judiciary Building with Chief Judge’s Residence.

30. By the end of his tenure in 2014, more than twelve (12) health institutions, including two hospitals, had secured accreditation; when we took off in 2006, no health institution in Anambra State was duly accredited.

31. Anambra State was the first to undergo national peer review, which scrutinised State Governments for good governance, through the State Peer Review Mechanism (SPRM), an initiative of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum in collaboration with the DFID.

He preaches grow what we eat and wear what we produce yet he would be the first person to import foreign goods into the country.
