POLITICS IS NOT CHARITY.

IF U ARE NOT WISE ENOUGH, TO APPROACH IT TECHNICALLY AND ALIGN YOURSELF WITH THE PEOPLE'S WILL, THEN U HAVE NO BUSINESS IN POLITICS.

U WILL SAY BUHARI HAD SEVERAL CHANCES BEFORE HE BECAME PRESIDENT.

U CANNOT COMPARE BUHARI AND MUOGHALU.


BUHARI IS A FORMER MILITARY HEAD OF STATE.


BUHARI HAS MASSIVE FOLLOWERSHIP IN THE NORTH AND HAD ALWAYS WON THE NORTH.


CAN MUOGHALU WIN THE EAST? NO!
By your logic, what followership does Onyeama have in the East?

HE DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE ON THAT LIST AFTER FAILING.

SENSE!
Nwannem, were nwayo biko grin grin. This is just an ordinary post from me. It is not election time and there is no sign yet that an Igbo will be president in 2023. But we are hopeful. I have provided 10 names and I am not campaigning for any single one of them. Unlike me, you are fixated on one person: Onyeama. May I ask from what state in Igboland you are?

OYA, REMOVE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING AND REPLACE WITH ONYEAMA.

MOGHALU ALREADY HAD HIS TIME AND FAILED.
Muoghalu is still a very viable candidate; I did not expect him to defeat a Buhari who actually did not win the election but rigged himself back in. Ben was found worthy to be appointed by one or two Yoruba governors, even when they did not have to appoint an Igbo. That goes to show he is qualified, detribalized, acceptable, and and knows Lagos politics some. There is a difference between that and Onyeam'a appointment by Buhari. Buhari is obligated by law to appoint at least one minister from each state. Onyeama was the lucky one from Enugu. Again, I repeat, in my opinion he has not done much.

THE FACT THAT SOME OF US ARE NOT FLEXIBLE ENOUGH.


IN ALL THOSE NAMES U PRESENTED, NOTICE I HAVE NOT KNOCKED ANY OF THEM.

IN A SEARCH, U GATHER THEM ALL.

IN UR CASE, U ARE STILL SEARCHING BUT AT THE SAMETIME LEAVING OUT SEASONED FIT CONTENDERS.

IS DAT WISE?

WE IGBOS HAVE TO BE FLEXIBLE AND ADAPTABLE AND ACCOMMODATING.
That is why I have 10 people from different parties, different sexes and different SE states. Even Oby that most don't like but who I personally see as qualified is on my last. My take on Onyeama is from what I see from the perspective of a Nigerian living in America. He has not achieved what is dearest to our hearts, which is the ability to vote in Nigerian elections. Please note that I am from Abia State, Umuahia precisely. Yet, my next post after the original one excluded 3 Abians because I know those three are crooks.
PoliticsRe: My Personal Experiences With South Africans by astrodome: 10:00pm On Sep 09, 2019
A National Literacy Survey (2010) conducted by the National Bureau of Statistics in
Nigeria estimates the adult literacy rate as 56.9 percent, with huge variations between
states (Lagos 92.0 % and Borno only 14.5%), regions (urban 74.6 % and rural 48.7%,)
and sex (male 65.1% and female 48.6%). More importantly, statistics from the Federal
Ministry of Education indicate that only 500,000 of the 40 million adult illiterates are
enrolled in adult learning classes. There are also 3.5 million nomadic school-aged
children with only 450,000 of them accessing any form of schooling.
Nigeria is further
saddled with the largest number of out-of-school-children estimated at over 7 million
(10 percent of the global total). These are Northern states which have majority Muslim and pastoralist
populations.
http://www.unesco.org/new/fileadmin/MULTIMEDIA/HQ/ED/pdf/Nigeria.pdf

It says ''any form of schooling''..... So you can see that most Hausa-Fulani and Kanuri adults and kids are not even in Almajiri schools. They are normads tending to cattle in the bushes or just lazying about.

ahiboilandgas:
then what do u think they read in almajiri school ? Their is virtually no Muslim northern that can read or recite arabic cos that the language for prayers which u must learn and recite ....so how do they read the Quran.....open your mind
Reading and writing is different from recitation by heart. You don't have to recite a book by reading it. You may be taught orally how to repeat lines of quoranic verses. All Almajiris recite by heart what they have been taught orally.

that means u didn't read what I took time to write or u read without comprehending... literacy data are dole out on persons with ability to read English and write it.....for Nigeria but if u China literacy data will be based on education in mandara or Japan (Japanese)...if u use same parameter used in Nigeria for Japan (ability to read English-speaking)nigeria will be higher..... in the gloden years of Islamic science (trigonometry, optomtery space science ,irrigation) all have their root in Islamic science taught in arabic .....u can do a phd in hausa language...that why we have hausa and arabic new paper which an average almajiri can read and write
No that is not true. Literacy data world over is always based on ability to read and write ANY language, not just English. So, yes, Almajiris who can read and write in Arabic are counted in. What the data means is that majority of northerners, including Almajiris cannot red and write even in, Hausa or, Arabic, let alone in English.

NA U SABI.


IN ALL THOSE LIST U HAVE CHOSEN, ONYEAMA IS THE MOST DETRIBALISED.

HE IS ALSO THE MOST EXPOSED.

ONYEAMA IS MANAGING BUHARI FOREIGN POLICY, IF HE WAS TO BE PRESIDENT, THE FOREIGN POLICY WOULD BE VERY DIFFERENT.

IN MY OPINION, HE BELONGS IN THAT LIST.

WHO EVER BUHARI HANDS OVER TO, WILL BE ONE OF HIS OWN.

ONYEAMA IS AFFILIATED WITH BUHARI, IT IS WISE TO ADD HIM.
Anybody managing Buhari's foreign policy is a bad manager. Onyeama may be better under a different circumstance. But then he should not be working for a Buhari. Can you list one thing that he has achieved?

He clearly is not Igbo, anyone who is would be picking the right candidate. Enemies will always pick wrong choices.
Okay! But I am not sure why you think somebody like Ngige is not the right candidate. He has not been charged with any corruption that we know of, unless I am missing something. He served briefly in Anambra but I hear he made solid progress for the state during that brief period. I feel he has not done much under Buhari, likely because he is in the wrong ministry. If anyone is against him because he is APC, then as someone (I think GermanNig) noted above, Igbos alone cannot put anybody in ASO ROCK. We need to look beyond our noses

PLEASE ADD HIM TO YOUR LIST ON FIRST PAGE.


HE DESERVE IT.


IT IS NOT EASY FOR AN IGBO MAN TO GET REAPPOINTED BY BUHARI.


IF HE CAN WORK WITH BUHARI, HE CAN MANAGE THIS COUNTRY.


NOTE UNLIKE ROTIMI AMAECHI, HE DID NOT BRIBE HIS WAY INTO BUHARI GOVERNMENT BY USING STATE FUNDS TO FUND PARTY.


Geoffrey Jideofor Kwusike Onyeama (born February 2, 1956)
Onyeama has a lot of personal achievements, no doubt. But unfortunately, he is not worthy to be on my first 10. He has no electoral experience. Moreover, I cannot readily see any great things he has achieved since becoming a minister in 2015. As a Nigerian in diaspora, I would love to be able to vote in an election in Nigeria, just like an American or a Brazilian who lives outside of their countries can vote. Onyeama could not deliver on that simple task that we gave him. Nigeria's foreign image is still bad, if not worse, under Buhari. What has Onyeama done to address that as a foreign minister? Look at the old sickly man, Sylvanus Nsofor, who is the Nigerian ambassador to the US? The Nigerian embassy here is now a total dead wood. Who approved of him, certainly another old sickly man, Buhari. However, Onyeama could not advise against such a silly appointment. In my HUMBLE opinion, he is a mediocre minister. May be he can make a third 11 list.

let me educated you a little almajiri are educated and can read and write in arabic symbols ,word etc literacy is not only ability to read English and write it .....nope literacy mean ability to read and write ,mandarin,Dutch,German,French,arabic ,hausa,ibo ,Yoruba ,ijaw ....all items in chemistry can be develop in other languages aside English....the problem of the almajiri school system is the begging attach to it,it needs reform and new curriculum where parent must fend for their kids and teaching should not only be religious but other item like science,maths ,reasoning,geography can be taught in arabic in the almajiri school
So why then is the illiteracy rate in many northern states as high as 80 to 90%?

Every politician is a thief. From north, west, east and south.
Peter Obi is dirty and was fortunate to have used tribal politics to defeat Chris Ngige in his 2nd term.
Had Ngige won that election, foul nyash would have open. I repeat, the only clean politician in Anambra state is Chris Ngige.
Peter Obi is an hypocrite who invested Anambra stare money into his personal business.
Rochas stole flamboyantly but Peter Obi stole hypocritically.
Ngige was on my original list already. And only one of them can be president at a time. You need to clean your vision so you see properly.

The only APC member in that list is not even really a staunch party man in the person of Sullivan Chime.

The likes of Rochas and Orji Uzor Kalu are painted black in the list.

Ogbonnaya Onu also has the electoral experience too and would have been a good Presidential candidate if not for his political silence. I think the likes of Onu,Amaechi and Rocha's should jostle for the APC ticket.
While others vie for that of the PDP.
6. Dr. Chris Ngige (former Gov. of Anambra; has executive experience, has administrative experience, was/is a medical officer, and actually a very serious minded person; he is in the ruling party)
8. Mr. Sullivan Chime, former Governor of Enugu State (has executive experience; left Enugu state much better than he met it; he is in the ruling party now)
9. Mr Ben Akabueze (former Commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning under Tinubu and Fasola; he is in the ruling party)

Which Rochas are you talking about? The one who stole billions from Imo? Which Kalu? The one who stole billions from Abia and gave them a string of mediocre leaders in TA Orji and Okezie?

Amaechi is great; but he is not SE. This is not a list of SS Igbo leaders
