Chai, now the most corrupt people are saying that the good people of south are corrupt.

Well, i blame my southern brothers who even helped them in the last election. Thank God all of us are suffering it together.

But truly speaking, Hausa-Fulani are wicked and are the problem to this country unity.

May God judge!

Friends and colleagues from every part of the nation and some of my best friends are not even from my side of the country.

However, recent events are making me to have a deeper reflection and I wish we- Southerners in this instance- can have some kind of introspection. Out of 25 appointments made so far, 18 are from the North, 3 are from the South West, 4 are from the South South while the South East has ZERO appointments. A tweet which I saw today stated that “southerners are only competent when it’s time for elections but northerners are competent in terms of governance” and this made the following thoughts run through my mind:

1. Only Southerners have been accusing fellow Southerners of corruption. Oshiomole has been attacking Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as if Ngozi turned down his marriage proposal. The same Oshiomole tried to make nonsense of Akinwumi Adeshina’s successes in the agriculture sector. Ambode tried to pull Fashola down and successfully smeared him with stains. Maybe that’s why Fashola did not get the Chief of Staff role. I’m yet to see a Northerner accuse another Northerner of corruption, even when they belong to different parties. The closest a Northerner got was when the new Kano State Governor attacked Rabiu Kwankaso but he quickly sheathed his sword and even disowned previous reports of attacks. Why are we like this?

2. Are Southerners the only ones who are corrupt? Were there no northerner heading the ministries and parastatals? Did the outgone Comptroller-General of Customs, Abdullahi Dikko not have an alleged case of certificate forgery but he still served out his tenure until he resigned voluntarily? I’m not in support of corruption under any guise but the fight against corruption must not be seen to be sectional.

3. How come it’s easier for the President to believe that Sanni Abacha was not corrupt in spite of recovered loot while it is so easy for him to believe Goodluck Jonathan is irredeemably corrupt?

4. I still remember that aside from God, Tinubu made Tambuwal what he is today. The same Tambuwal would later call Femi Gbajabiamila ‘incompetent’ and rated Dogara as more competent. The same Tambuwal was propped up by Tinubu, a Southerner against a fellow Southerner, Mulikat Akande. Obasanjo was very key to denying Goodluck Jonathan a second term. A good number can still recall how OBJ tore his PDP membership card in public glare. The Northerners find it easy to support themselves but we are always pulling ourselves down. Babangida Aliyu, Sule Lamido and all the other Northern Governors including the former PDP Chairman Adamu Muazu often times refused to campaign for Goodluck Jonathan openly and many times even espoused the virtues of the opposing candidate on the rostrum!

5. Southern leaders and Presidents pull down Southern businessmen but prop up Northern ones. How many people still remember how Obasanjo ran Ibeto and Mike Adenuga out of their business empires but both Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan made Aliko Dangote what he is today. No northern leader goes against their own. I dare to put it on record that President Buhari will never go against Aliko Dangote for any reason.

6. How come OBJ pardoned Salisu Buhari, the ex-Speaker who forged his credentials and he later was given an appointment as a Governing Council member of a University and heavens did not fall- but when Goodluck Jonathan pardoned Alamieyeseigha it became one of the major issues counted against him? Is there one rule for some and another rule for others?

7. We find it easy to raise our voices in support of the deportation of Buruji Kashamu but have no qualms with Atiku Abubakar strutting around the corridors of power.

8. Only Southerners find it so easy to abuse their elders when they voice opinions not in tandem with the popular opinion. We find it easy to diss Afenifere elders and call them ‘Afenifebi’ while hurling expletives and curses at them. We even abuse our kings and priests. Northerners will never abuse an Emir no matter how unpopular what he said is. Can you imagine any Northerner raising his voice against the Sultan? In spite of Tanko Yakassai, Balarabe Musa and Dangiwa Umar’s perceived support for Jonathan, northern youths did not abuse them. But our own youths run down our elders on social media while our educated elite also support the act.

These are some of the thoughts that have been running through my mind. I don’t pretend to have all the answers and I do this at the risk of being labelled an ethnic bigot. The point however is that Southerners have to get their acts right. We have to put our house in order. The bickering must stop. Let’s engage our emotional intelligence. Let’s not allow others to exploit our tendency to self-destruct.

shaboti:
Emefiele & okonjo are igbo but not from south-east.
Get your facts right.

Both are from Delta state(south south) but Okonjo married to Abia.

May their gentle souls rest in absolute peace.

Nna men, you know Orlu very well - I am very happy with you. You do some good jobs even some Imo people wouldn't do...

I said it earlier, it shall be hard to get anybody from Owerri who has been to Orlu before, talk less, recount communities in Orlu area like you did. Why? Because every thing Imo state has is in Owerri. So some one from Owerri has no need to visit Okigwe or Orlu areas for anything

Rochas Okorocha became governor and worsened the situation. Do you ever see any Owerri guy on NL or anywhere criticizing Okorocha government? Hard to see. This is because Okorocha nearly reduced Imo state to Owerri.

Oga stop claiming Orlu, you are not from Imo talk more of Orlu.

Simple question Abagworo asked with reference to some Orlu clans see how you are flopping. I even know Orlu more than you.

Drop that your claim because you've lost long ago.

This story is factual and can be verified, especially with the normal thinking that when somebody dies, earthly things are no longer known to him.

However, the death of an Akwa Ibom indigene, living in Aba and his subsequent act in the morgue shows that the world is full of mysteries.

Reports emanating from Aba had it that the late Akwa Ibom citizen died in Aba, last Tuesday, atop a prostitute in a brothel.

The corpse was later deposited in a mortuary in Aba awaiting investigation and collection for burial probably by his relations.

However, on Thursday, when another corpse arrived, the mortuary attendants were shocked to find the corpse of the man from Akwa Ibom on top of another female corps.

Initially, the attendants were scared and took to their heels and later came back to put the corps apart.

To their surprise, the penis of the man was erect and stiff as if he was alive.

Funny how this fulani herdsmen now carry weapons around without being apprehended by the police,



Or is the NPF telling us that Fulanis are above the law?

These people have to be stopped from moving from one area to another, let them remain in their land since they can't stay without problem.

They need to check the family tree of this man back to 10BC.

He talks loudly like the Yorubas but has the boldness and audacity of the Igbos.

I have never liked him but can't help his audacity.

I love audacious people. The Jews call it Yizpah...the oil for success.

@B2mario,

Okay, I agree with you: gov. Okorocha concentrated 75% of his development projects in Owerri zone

But where were citizens of Imo state when Okorocha was doing this foul play? Why did people not shout foul?

Kai millionnairnaija, you and your propaganda against Rochas.

To me, Rochas has tried for Orlu, Orlu is a small Town and can not compete with Owerri in terms of social development.

Orlu as a small town has received what it can receive under Rochas. Everything can not be taken to Orlu just because Rochas is from the zone. What of Okigwe?

Orlu has more social development than other towns of its level. Just be truthful and appreciative to Rochas.

Okorocha’s strides are not well known – Madumere, deputy gov

on August 28, 2015 / in Politics 12:00 am


Prince Eze Madumere, the deputy governor of Imo State was before his entry into the political fray an entrenched player in the private sector having been an executive of Pepsi Cola in the United States. In this interview he reviews developments in his state, efforts towards boosting industrialisation of the state and gives a peep into the life and manner of Governor Rochas Okorocha. Excerpts:

What was your transition from the private sector into an active player in politics like?

We give God the glory, for everything that He has provided us. The Almighty Father is the ultimate who makes all things possible. So, we are grateful to God, for wherever I have found myself today, it is God first and the next person is Rochas Okorocha.

The truth of the matter is having come in from where I came from, the United States, some of the things I have seen are not what I envisaged, the challenges that are involved in governance and the individuals that make up governance are the challenges in themselves.

How was the agitation for an Owerri governor minimised that an Orlu man was returned again as governor?

Rochas Okorocha is quite an example of a detribalized and not a zonal leader. My leader, our leader, Owelle Rochas Okorocha is a man of inspiration. Today, more than 75 per cent of the infrastructure is in Owerri Zone. The other 25 per cent is shared between Okigwe and Orlu. You have a governor who believes in putting projects not because of where he comes from, but based on the fact that it is good for Imo State.
Today, for example, we are talking about industry, industry, industry, factory, factory, factory! We have gone back to bring back the old Mbakwe factories. For instance, card board packaging industry is in Owerri not in Orlu. We have recovered that. De Raising Paint is in Mbaise here, Owerri Zone, we have recovered that. These things will now start coming in place. We have got some Italians trying to bring back those apex factories. These are the things that were lying fallow for over thirty years. Now, this governor is not thinking about his village. He is not thinking about his own person. This is a governor who makes sacrifice, who goes through pains every day, just to make sure that Imo people and Ndi Igbo are recognized in this country.

People have different views of Okorocha. As one who has associated with him for over two decades what is your candid view of the man?
The man, Rochas Okorocha is a philanthropist. He is a family man. He is a man you will love to be close to. Rochas Okorocha I know is vehement but his brain is faster than clock. For you to be able to meet up with him, you must come a little closer. Just imagine, someone you’ve been with for over two decades, by now I could have told you I have a PhD on him. No, I do not.

By the time, you get closer; my boss will keep shifting the goal post. He is a man who likes challenges. He is an adventurer. He believes in a thing, then, it is achievable. He is not too perfect a person. He is a man who is also very eager and open to learning from you. As he is holding a conversation with you, he is picking up one or two things from you, but you don’t know. The day he will use them, he will say remember the day you said.

Within the context of the Imo Rescue Mission, have you developed your personal vision for Imo?
My oga’s vision subsumes mine. And that is the way it is.

Free education
As much as I operate with my oga, you only have one captain at a time.

What is the weight of the free education project on the government?
Free education has run for four years now, and free education has come to stay. It is what people never believed was possible.

The opposition never believed that it could happen and the doubt is with them till today. I don’t think that we as a government have done very well in giving free education the publicity it deserves. It seems like there is this shadow as if there is, may be, a Rochas magic. No, there is a practical thing on the ground. We have three major tertiary institutions owned by the State – one of them, Imo State University.

Gov. Okorocha's deputy says it all: 75% of Okorocha's project are in his state capital - one or two Lgas.

25% are for the other 26 or 25 Lgas.

What a way to govern a state.

He said Owerri zone not Owerri capital, this is how you give information another interpretation.

abagoro:
Let those who want to lie to themselves keep up with the delusions. Those same people have refused to acknowledge the level of change we have suddenly experienced in Nigeria in less than 100 days or sometimes find one way or the other to associate the success in power and oil sector to Jonathan.

Even if all of Imo State is paved with gold, they will ask why not platinum.

Now they have resorted in using few federal roads that are not good to discredit Rochas.
But my question is this, can't they see the present condition of Onitsha-Enugu expressway or they criticise federal road only when it falls in Imo state?

Imo is better now!

Lazy men can't work today, tomorrow they will say that hardworking men are the reason of their sufferings.

Shut up your putrid mouth. There is everything wrong with Ikwerre dialect. I do not pity most moronic dingbats that pass as Ikwerre that have denied their Igbo heritage. I shall curse any fool that denied him or her self because of a plate of akamu. The poster is an Ikwerre person who has publically claimed Ikwerre are not Igbo. Of course, there are other Igbo subgroups that take Ala for Ali. However, this particular poster does not attract any soft language from me.

May God help you!

Duru1:
Per the bolded, I suggest you take this your idiotic Ikwerre dialect and shove it especially when important issues pertaining to Ndiigbo are being tabled.

What's wrong with Ikwerre dialect, bro stop this childish nonsense. Is it only Ikwerre that uses 'ALI' in Igboland?

Pls allow us to discuss issues that directly affect us if you don't have any tangible thing to say.

Pchidexy:
Religion is the biggest fraud on earth. I am only concerned with what Okorocha does with Imo state funds.

I too, let the fraudsters continue using religion to deceive innocent Imolites.

Rochas has done well for the ones he has done considering Imo state resource allocation and IGR.

Shaortchanging yoruba has always spell doom for the presidency, keep shortchanging Yoruba at your own detriment

He's not shortchanging anybody or any group he's sitting up he will soon come up with his good ministerial list.

Yorubas are the problem of this country, they complain alot and they are the catalysts of tribalism and ethnocentrism in this country.

The criticism is now with buhari no longer GEJ just because of little appointments he made based on merit.

My good yoruba brothers please try and change for good, you don't have conscience and patience and you derive joy in complaining and criticising everything you perceive. And why did the writer mention Igbo as people Buhari must probe, must yorubas envy Igbo success in everything.

I did not support Buhari but with some steps he has taken so far I'm now indicating him as someone that has good intentions for the country.

More trash from a product of baby factory, you bastard from the red mud are good with your lies. Imagine, a dumb yeebhoes fool asking what Yorubas did during the war.

Ojuku of cursed memory was a known coward and everyone knows that, even Biancar father Chief CC Onoh, said Ojukwu was a cantankerous coward. A man that boast of having the best military in the wold but had to dress like an ashewo like most yeebhoe women just to escape from Obasanjo after Benjamin Adekunle have pummeled the fool and send many yeebhoe bastard to 6 fth. The most shameful thing about the ediot was that he came back to contest election in same country he fought and lost 3m deluded yeebhoes, yet he lost. Buhahahahaha Who does that? His wife was even a known village bicycle that everyone sleep with, from FFK to Peter Obi e.t.c Pathetic.

Lol, what another brainless and meaningless quote. You said that I'm lying while you are the liar here, the history of Biafran war is everywhere for one to read, Igbos fought bravely and surprised the whole world. How can i lie over something you have access to the truth?

The war we fought is a credit to our history only time will tell, and we are not regretting anything. Igbo gain more popularity with that war where international intellects are writing books and Hollywood is acting movie about injustice meted against Igbo and Igbo history.

You Spoke of baby factory, yes we have it so as to meet the demand of childless families. But what of you where women are naturally w:hore, who can be under their parents' roof and have 8 children from different men. Are you sure you know your real father or are you calling your maternal grand pa your father, chai this is shameful.

30% of yoruba children don't know their father and can be proud to tell you that they have no father. It's in Yoruba culture that women are allowed to marry different husbands at a Time( polygamy in woman way).

You also spoke of curse Tribe, go to Igboland and go back to your land and then you tell us who's is curse among the two.

after1:
You are hardworking cos you run in traffic with gala on your head, hardworking that you engage in baby factory same way you were conceived. I bow for una hardworking skills.

Yes we do all these while you prefer sleeping and the only business you can do is music, arm rubbing, 419, drug trafficking, prostitution, and Agbero.

Most Yoruba youth are into rituals just because you are lazy. You like to have money but you won't like to work for it.
A Yorubaman with his heartless mind can get 20 human head just to make money that an Igboman with hardworking spirit can make under 6months.

after1:
Buhahahaha This bastard is describing the yeebhoes perfectly, Are you kidding me did you just say the Yorubas are running away from there land?

lol, so you can't understand simple grammar. I said you were running away from your land during the civil war.

after1:
Buhahahaha. You are the hated tribe in Nigeria cos of your ways, everyone piss on you cos you are just like a 5th class citizen in Nigeria.

If you can tell me that you don't know the most hated tribe in Nigeria that means you've not gone anywhere. Interview nigerians and find the truth. Nobody likes to associate with the Yorubas forget about politics.

after1:
You run away in droves from your cursed to the SW and north before you can survive yet you boasting and making noise online, you have no shame at all. You have been disgraced by every tribe in that country, everyone see you as useless, uncouth and worthless people. The Hausa kill you bastard at any slightest provocation, the Yorubas accommodate you ediots but you will still come online to denigrate them. Woe betides you all, cos you have all been cursed from womb. Spit on you.

Lol, you can be funny gaskiya. Hausas don't kill anybody, whatever news you heard is strictly politics.
What we had in North then were religious crises which normally affect everybody be it Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba, Northern or southern minorities. No particular group is a target.

And pls stop this you are saying that Igbos are running from their land to survive in your land. This is the evidence of large population, we are the largest in Nigerian. We can be seen virtually everywhere in the world.

Seeing large population of Igbos in your land does not mean that we are running from our land, Southeast is densely populated go and check world population statistics. What you see in your land is not up to 2% of what is in southeast and southsouth.

Apart from Lagos, Southeast is more organised and developed than Southwest.

Same trash from an akpu eating bastard product of baby factory, The only coward ever known is Ojuku of cursed memory who ran away when faced with real war. A failure in life till cruel death snatch the ediot away, even a Yoruba man still continue to yansh his wife in his own face, but you cursed wanderers are known for your lies. You see the coward who ran away dressed as an a/shewo woman as a god yet you call those you surrender to in a war coward. Lwkmd.

I wonder the way you reason, I've now confirmed it that you people are morons. Read your post and see how lunatic it sounds.

Yoruba always claim victory in something they do not contribute much, it has always been your nature. Even in the last concluded election, none of your states gave President Buhari up to 700,000 votes but today you are claiming and parading yourselves as the ones that single handedly install Buhari while one hardly hear anything from Hausas and Fulanis that did the main job.

Which impact did you play in that civil war sef, were you not the ones that were busy protesting in lagos against Hausa-Fulani dominance?

For the issue of Ojukwu, he's a brave man. He did what other intelligent leaders of the world like Hitler, Idi Amin, Charles Taylor, Mubarak etc did. It would have been shameful if he lost his life in the war. And Ojukwu did not dress like anything, he left normally as a nation president and he took Biafran international airport at Uli not Lagos or kano Airport.

Igbos are great which every Nigerian except you know and are praised for hardworking spirit which gives you headaches because you are too envious and don't like to see anybody being praised. I stay in the North, even the Hausa and other northern tribes are complaining about your wicked, lazy, envious and cunny attitude. No tribe in Nigeria like Yoruba.

Civil war has been fought and forgotten even among the Northerners who played the key role and knew what the passed through, and know that without the help of Britain, Russia, Egypt and United states in hide manner they would have lost the war while you cowards that were running away from your land where war didn't reach are now claiming victory.

Yoruba if you claim that you are brave and coordinated like the Igbos fight other nigerian nations + Britain, Russia, Egypt, and America or betterstill only Igbos, then I'll take you serious.
