ilugunboy: That is about the closest an Igbo man will get close to the Presidency and it all through an act of incidence.

So like you said...let them bath in the sunlight till 2015.

IGBO-SON:
^^^Ifechez are you being sarcastic?

dafnna: in 2015, northerners will be desperate to pull back power to their region.
The opposition can never win the forth coming elections against PDP without the support of the north.
Let us not deceive ourselves. Jonathan is clearly not capable of translating Nigeria to the next level. His presence in Aso-rock shows the poor state of our electoral process. As a nigerian-canadian, i am baffled on how he got there and mindset of those who voted for him, because i learnt the election was on average a bit free and fair.
APC, i will advice you nominate a Marwa OR Ribadu for president and fashola OR pat utomi for vice-president. PDP is the devil's tool against Nigeria, i speak from a spiritual angle.
my most preferred choice is Marwa/ fashola ticket. These two have performances above AVERAGE as governors of the most complex state (LAGOS).
A muslim-muslim ticket is not the issue now. Nigeria must move forward.
I miss my country badly. I will return someday as a minister by God's grace and personal diligence.

seunajia: There we go again. No offense, but did you pull that out of your anus? Its always about tribe.

Ask if I have met enough Ijaws, before you draw such conclusions from my post.

seunajia: My friend hang yourself! We are tired of GEJ. His being Nigerian president is the most unfortunate thing ever. I am ashamed that such a visionless man became the president of the most populous black nation in the world.

If it is not a curse, GEJ?

And some muppets hiding behind the machinations of religion and tribe come here to spray us with their profane saliva, preaching hate. Na God go punish una.

I don't bladdy care if a constapatese becomes the president, I would just never support perfidious slaves as Jonathan.

Omo_Tier1: Yes I have been to Imo state, I know much of Imo, perhaps some of you do not realise that our eyes are all over and when we speak on here we do so with conviction of what our eyes have seen not here say! No doubt Rochas is working in Imo, but He needs to prove beyond just what He is doing, He needs to demonstrate the tenacity to be able to sustain the developmental strides He has began and that can only happen when He spends long enough time as Imo governor.

HAH: Greed of the igbo leaders in order to control the recently discovered oil then

omonnakoda: Secession/Treason. Every one who was alive during that period and their children shall pass away before we have an Ibo President

HAH: No , because Igbo have committed the ultimate sin in Nigerias unity, so it will be too risky to give it to Kong Igbo, I don't mind delta igbo or rivers but the real OMATA mba o

rhymz: I was in Aba yestarday and felt very disappointed at the nonsense I saw. It was like there was no government in place. All I saw were thugs reigning supreme and taking advantage of the poor keke napep drivers. May God Punish Orji, he is a disgrace to the Igbos. Onitsha that is more commercial and older has a way better look and streets than Aba. I practically had to run back to Owerri to get back my sanity, presently am in Onitsha and I am loving the place nnwanne. . . Soon I will vist Uyo, prolly work go carry me enter there, heard Akpabio is making Fashola look like a Learner!!! lol

OsunOriginal: And how many votes can Rochas deliver? Do you think this election is about appeasing a disgruntled tribe? We know Igbo will not vote for the right ticket even if you nominate an igbo man as president, so why should they be given VP slot?

rhymz: It is obvious you do not like the Man but please be objective with the way you criticize and paint untrue suggestive scenerios.
Mr Jude's calculated resignation actually shows that he is innocent of the accusations of graft leveled against him. Infact, prosecution is now as easier as he would have lost immunity and can now be arrested and investigated. I am presently in Owerri and I tell you this, even Owerri people support his removal.

okpara ugo: What crime did he commit so i will know how to determine this matter

kettykings: The Akwa Ibom Governor seems to have done well in infrastructural works but infrastructure alone does not Develop a state of that Size and endowment. The Governor needs to think Economic Development , this he can do by Assembling an Economic Team which will be made up of highly skilled economist home and Abroad and possibly some Consultants like the former CBN governor .

The Akwa Ibom Government can pursue a mercantilism economic policy that will ensure that the Crude Deposits onshore and on shore is refined before being exported or redistributed within Nigeria.

Also with Lagos becoming increasingly very Difficult for Eastern Business men and women , the Governor's Economic Team can reach out to Top Eastern Business men like Innoson , Cosharis on how they can leverage on the proximity of the Ibaka Sea port to improve the economy of scale of their business . An import of CKD for Innosson , Ibeto from Ibaka will cost far less to transport to Nnewi and Enugu and will take 1/3 the time it takes to transport from Lagos coupled with the fact that Uyo to ABA highway is now a 6 lane highway. so why import from Lagos what you can cheaply and safely do from Ibaka without the unnecessary dsitaction and harassment of Area Boys through extortion and Lagos Government officials using annual registration fees and arbitrary taxes

The displacement and frustration of Ladipo Business men can be exploited to build another Auto Spare parts Hub some where near Ibaka that will cater for the shipment to East African countries, Eastern Nigeria and Northern Nigeria while Igbos scale down their Businesses in Lagos .

This gradual transformation will pull Cash flow and human resources , banks , insurance and other Financial houses and encourage the Development of the Local Akwa Ibom economy leading to the emergence of enterprenuers among the indigenous people and more Revenue to the Akwa Ibom state for other projects.

Feed me more: Whether or not he goes for second term, the injustice has to be address once and for all.

Dede1: You can now see what I hinted about Roche and Ginikana. Look, by the time Rochas Okorocha and his family are done with Imo State, Ohakim will look like a saint.

obicentlis: Owerri City school? Hmmm..... Who is d person? A supplier or contractor? The sch was built by Roche group, the office complex and fence was done by someone I know.

Aringarosa: Just hoping Gej can grow some balls to effect the necessary changes in the allocation of oil blocks. This injustice has to stop. Enough is a enough.

Ejiné: Jesus Christ, is Rochas the one in control of the legislature?
What do you mean "backstabbing Owerri people"?
If a man is found corrupt, shouldn't he be shown the door? Or do Owerri peeps gain anything special from Sir Jude?

Duru1: Is there any logic in above statements? It is funny that someone will even insinuate that works ministry is under supervision of deputy governor. How many other ministries are under supervision of deputy governor? I guess there is no commissioner for works in Imo State.

kabaka1: U're absolutely right. Once his deputy begins 2 stink of corruption, it's inevitable that people will assume that Rochas stinks 2, so d best advice I have 4 Rochas is to get rid of this Agbaso guy as his deputy n find someone with a better reputation. This will boost his public image n give him a better chance 4 2015 election 2.
