Ohaneze this Ohaneze that. Ohaneze is out for himself. We Igbos are funny. I don't give two sheets about any Eze.

Small fry, this your post is an irrelevant one. Even Jason who is not Igbo makes more sense than you. You may be funny but do not equate that with the entire Igbo.
This topic is about Ohanaeze so no need for your rant.
Ohanaeze is out for himself. Another imbecilic comment from you. Ohanaeze is an association not an individual person.
This thread or ohanaeze is not about any eze.
Just be quiet as you are not up there yet to discuss this sort of thread.

I dont think the boys and girls in this documentary speaks Yoruba. The Yorubas has to do something about Yorubas born in the U.k who can't speak Yoruba.

nateevs:
He's just off form. How come this Bello doesn't play for Naija?

@Bello, simply not good enough.

Malouda, one goal after 4 attempts, very poor.

Drogba, real minus one.

Didier Drogba has been the worst performer this night.

Nateevs, you may watch the match on SkySports 4.

Good goal from Sturidge.

@The OP: Why are you too scared to start this moronic thread of yours at the crimes section. Why are you so scared to start threads there?.
Impotent retardo.

Beaf:

No, it means you are too ignorant to comment on Nigerian issues. Some might treat you with kid gloves while others will lose patience.

Dude, you are reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally ignorant. Please don't keep hacking at it, cos it just keeps sounding worse. You really shouldn't comment on things you don't know about.

True.

nateevs:
McEachran has misplaced his last five passes. Come on boy, this is your chance. Steal it.

When do you think this our experimental team will start winning matches?.

Danny S should have scored.

What a save from Turnbull.

Meanwhile Marseilles won 3:0 against Spartak Moscow earlier today.

Zilina have just scored. Bello 19th minute.

Chelsea still need a point to top the group.

4king slowpoke. Who told you Ibibio na Igbo? YOU REALLY NEED TO TAKE TIME OFF nl, DO SOME RESEARCH B4 COMING BACK COZ U ARE CLEARLY IGNORANT. A fool who doesn't even know whether he is Itsekiri, Urhobo or Yoruba is the one mouthing off at others about who they are and who they should present. Donald Duke is good but doesn't have the momentum like GEJ. I went to listen to him speak in Houston TX and I like him alot but truth be told he can't beat GEJ. Donald Duke (Efik-Ibibio), Goodluck Ebele Jonathan (Ijaw-Igbo) and Pat Utomi (Igbo) are good choices. Matter fact Duke and Utomi might even be better than Jonathan and I actually believe they are but NO EASTERN PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO SPLIT THEIR VOTES into shreds this time. We have learned to zero in on one person and Ebele Azikiwe Goodluck is the 1 and only.

Udezue, God bless you for your wisdom. Ohanaeze had a very careful study of all the candidates and came to the conclusion that GEJ is the answer.
But before that, Ohanaeze went on worldwide consultation and opinions of Ndigbo worldwide was manifested in the endorsement of GEJ.
Also, Igbo organisations such as student unions, traders unions, market women, Igbo elites etc constantly besieged No 7 Park Avenue for the apex Igbo body to take the lead.
Sometimes I laugh at the few Igbo here trying so hard to rubish the number one Igbo citizen and Ohanaeze.

Atiku, IBB, Ribadu, Buhari, Saraki, Gusau etc; GEJ will beat all of them combined.

ChinenyeN.
I am not surprised by your outburst, it is expected of an anti-Ohanaeze kingpin.
Incase you do not know, the then Igbo union is not different from the Ohanaeze you have now. The group only changed the name of the organisation. They were involved in politics as well as in promotion of Igbo culture. F.C Ogbalu, Pita Nwana etc worked hand in hand with the then Igbo Union in the promotion of Igbo language and culture. This is comparable with the SOCIETY FOR PROMOTION OF IGBO LANGUAGE AND CULTURE (SPILAC) which is an arm of Ohanaeze.
If Ohanaeze can clamour for the creation of Anioma, Wawa (now Enugu)and Abia states for Ndigbo, is that not politics?.
If Ohaneze can take the case of Asaba massacre to Oputa panel, why can't they be political?.
Also, If Ohanaeze can fight for a case of young Igbo surgeon in London who died during an outing with colleagues, why can't they be involved in other aspects of lives of Ndigbo?.
Leave Ohanaeze alone, you do not know better than them.

@JASON: Ohanaeze believes in six geo-political zones and that power should rotate between this six zones. It is no longer north south basis or east, west and north method.

marcdunu:
^^^^^

How did we elect a man like Uwechue?

This man is selling out the South East to his South South roots and must be stopped.

How can a man who have no respect for Ojukwu be trusted with the future of Ndigbo?

Common shut up your smelly mouth. Are you more Igbo than Uwaechue?. How can you question the credibility of a man who has spent over 45 years of his life fighting for Igbo race. Is there no Igbo race in the south south?. Brain-dead monkey.

OMO IBO:
I am with Mike allllll the way. And if I'm correct, suggestions that he is support or opposition of GEJ or any other candidate is laughable. His stance on this issue is littered in every post he has made. Just to reiterate, Mike, I believe is against Ohaneze led by Uwechue and the fact that they are actively partisan in political.

The Ohaneze is a socio-cultural organisation and it should remain that way.

If I may add, on a different note, does anyone really trust the Ohaneze wihose executive includes Ojo Maduekwe?? The same Maduekwe who opposed and delayed GEJ's ascension to the presidency.

Ojo Maduekwe is not an executive of Ohanaeze. I do not know where you got that wrong fact. Yes Ohanaeze is cultural but ''culture'' is about peoples way of life and that includes politics. I know you live in the U.K and probably must have heard about that young surgeon who died in a questionable manner at Brighton NHS hospital. Who is fighting for the case?. Is it not Ohanaeze (U.K). So why should they not involve in matters that affect Ndigbo. Was it not Igbo Union now Ohanaeze that played a key role in the election of Osadebe as the Midwest Governor in the 60's. Was it not Ohanaeze that presured IBB for the creation of Abia and Enugu states in 1991?.
Mike can say anything he likes, but Ohanaeze means well for Ndigbo.

@Amazonia: The Obi of Owa is very proud of their Nri ancestry and he does not hide it. I happen to know this when I and a group of other Igbo leaders in London visited The Obi this year during his holidays in London.
The Bini culture impacted in Ika people especially the aristocracy of The Bini empire.
The spread of Bini empire under Eweka the great is the reason for variants of Bini culture in Ikaland, as a result some aspects of the already existing Nri culture got retarded.
That nothwithstanding, the Nri (Igbo) culture and heritage is paramount in Ikaland till date.
Check out my ealier post on this thread in relation to London Roman heritage.

jason12345:
then what is? political power or relevance?

The need for parity.
Population.
Cultural, social and historical contiguity of the area demanding for a state.
Consent of the people in demand of the state.

mikeansy:
Please how did you arrive at that number?

You people keep throwing statistics up on down. Its amazing that you arived at 80% of Ndigbo by creating a sample space based in London.

Very easy. Make a compilation of Igbo organisations home and abroad and start speaking or writing to their heads for opinions. You may arrive at an answer higher than my 80%. Do you have the time for that?.

@Jason: Landmass has not been a determinant in state creations.

jason12345:
was thought given to the wider implications when deciding who to support since you are in touch with the organisation?(with all due respect). do they believe it would pave a way for Ndigbo 2015? did they take into account that any deal made might be jettisoned?

Prior to the Igbo coming to a conclusion, there were some other issues that were put under consideration not just 2015.
If by 2015, there is an Igbo president, that will be lovely, but if that does not happen, life goes on. But Ndigbo at the moment needs, states, infrastructures, elevation in positions, security and so on.
What would it profit an Igbo to have a president who caters for interest of others ahead Ndigbo. For example, during the tenure of Soludo, as CBN governor, a close friend of mine from London (Igbo) went for a position in central bank. Despite the fact he was more qualified and experienced than the other contestant from Bauchi, but Soludo gave it to the chap from Bauchi and till date, has not explained the rationale for his choice.

@Amingafar: Please show some respect by typing Igbo. This may be off topic but your continous use of ibo is annoying.

jason12345:
so basically, you support the decision made by ohanaeze even though it might create a marginalisation atmosphere of Ndigbo in Nigerian politics. remember, there is cause and effect. anyway, i still want the SW to follow and endorse GJ even though i doubt that would happen since they might support ACN

It is not just me supporting the endorsement, 80% of Ndigbo supports the endorsement. Am in touch with most Igbo organisations here in the U.K and in Nigeria and I know their views.

alj harem:
andre uweh sorry for insulting u in the other tread.

No worries, I do that sometimes.

Even thogh Ikedife is against GEJ's endorsement by Ohanaeze, it is not certain that he is supporting IBB, ATIKU etc. Nevertherless, former Ohanaeze inner caucus members are all for GEJ for example, Ozobu, Achuzia, etc.
Thanks to Ohanaeze for this endorsement.

agbotaen:
for the fact that an ika person will be acting governor of delta state for the next three months is something to be proud and glad of . prince sam obi was previously the speaker of deltha house of assembly ,that means he was holding a very powerful position in the state before .delta is a state with many ethnic groups , the isokos have not been governor before, ijaws have not been , okpes have not been, and tis is the first time an itsekiri is governor of the state that is in the person of uduaghan that was recently removed , and delta state is a new state .it is only the uhrobos that have been gov -under ibori and under ibru who ruled for less than a year before. the ika , aniocha, oshimilis and ndokwa too have not been gov.untill this recent acting gov.of ika origin. there is no obvious war between delta people , so other non-deltans should not laways create an imaginary war that does no exist.we know that in a multi ethnic state like delta , there is always struggles to dominate one another.it even exists in communities that are in anioma as all the four major group that formed anioma are still mindfull of their different origins , so they still struggles to outwith each other some times , it is expected as competition makes a community to grow .but our competitions should not become that of hatred.

Another moronic post yet again. This thread is not only for Delta people and hence non Deltans are free to contribute. You are not educating anyone here because all the above crap you wrote here is known by all and sundry. For once, apply wisdom.
