CNPP backs clamour for zoning of Speaker to S’East
From FRANCIS AWOWOLE-BROWNE, Abuja

Friday, May 6, 2011
The South-east governors bid for the position of speakership for the geo-political zone received a boost yesterday when the Secretary-General, Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP), Chief Willy Ezugwu has lent his voice to the clamour.

He said that with the performance of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the zone during the election, there arose the need for the mainstreaming of Ndigbo into the political equation that is playing out in the aftermath of the general elections. Chief Ezugwu noted that “another political crisis looms in the horizon given the acrimonious struggle over zoning, the contentions over the conduct of the elections and the violence-prone outcome of the presidential election with the bickering that is now dominating the sharing of positions.”

In a statement he issued in Abuja, Chief Ezugwu declared support for those demanding that the Speaker of the House of Representatives as the least or minimum position that an Ibo person should occupy in the unfolding political dispensation. Chief Ezugwu, who is also the Vice Chairman-Governing Board of the Save Nigeria Group, warned that, “anything short of the position of Speaker of the House of Representatives for the South-east will further confirm and underscore the agenda of some sections of the country to monopolize the offices of the country under the guise of zoning.”

“In line with the fears expressed in the past by the Igbo Political Forum (IPF) it is becoming glaring that the Jonathan’s Presidency may be harmful to the Ibos if the ongoing clamour over positions is not properly and fairly resolved,” he noted. According to him, “the meddlesomeness of former president, Olusegun Obasanjo with his insinuation that he is insisting on the retention of the current zoning arrangement of the PDP is saddling the Igbos with the unenviable position of the Deputy Senate President, which does not command any significant political power.”

He said he is of the view that in spite of all odds, Ibos supported the Jonathan presidential bid even when it looked doubtful and unviable before his party’s presidential primary and again gave him massive support during the election as evident in the results from the South-east and even in states like Lagos, Kano, Kaduna and others where they ensured massive wins for him despite the stiff challenge he faced from the opposition in such places.

The CNPP chieftain, a former Director-General of the defunct Orji Uzor Kalu presidential Campaign Organisation, challenged President Jonathan to reciprocate the goodwill of the people of the South-east by not only insisting that the Senate presidency or at least the Speaker of House of Representatives must be zoned to the South-east without delay but should also ensure that other vital positions in the executive come to the zone.

Ezugwu said the Ibo people are watching every move made by the President and the PDP on this matter and they will speak out their mind loud and clear when party finally takes a decision on this matter.

Is MZdarksin's first name Mellisa or Latisha?

^^^^Mostly Ibos tho. . . . . ^^^

"Um, yeah, nice speech you got goin there sir. Now, please put your hands behind your back. You have the right to remain silent. . . . . "

While i do not want to engage in any tribal bashing, i must however state that of all the Nigerians dealing in drugs in SA ,99% are igbos. Out that amount, 50% are of Anambra extraction. The igbo criminals here are into 419,drug dealing, kidnappings, armed robbery, prostitution s syndicates and immigration fraud.

Well, I guess the story ends here then. . . . .

This is not the issue of PDP or APGA. I have political intuition that Rochas will switch back to PDP.

So, u agree that a typical Ibo man will always go back to eat his own vomit?

South African Minister's Wife Jailed For Drug Trafficking

(RTTNews) - A court in South Africa on Friday sentenced Sheryl Cwele, wife of the country's Security Minister, and an accomplice to 12 years in prison each for trafficking drugs.

The sentencing came a day after the High Court in the city of Pietermaritzburg convicted Cwele, who is married to State Security Minister Siyabonga Cwele, along with her accomplice Frank Nabolisa, a Nigerian national, of drug trafficking.

They were convicted after the court found the pair guilty of using young women as carriers to smuggle cocaine into South Africa from Turkey and South America. Both the defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges.

While delivering the sentence, Judge Piet Koen noted: "Many families are affected by drugs which are brought here illegally. They suffer as a result of dealers who often initiate addiction by constant supply and thrive on that addiction."

Lawyers of Cwele and Nabolisa said after the sentencing that they would appeal against the verdict. The pair, who faced up to 15 years in prison each before Friday's sentencing, will remain free until the appeal hearing.

There were no immediate public comments from Siyabonga Cwele about the conviction of his wife. He had earlier denied any knowledge of his wife's alleged drug trafficking activities, but said on Friday that he would not comment on the case until after the appeal was heard.


The allegations of drug trafficking against Sheryl Cwele first surfaced after a South African woman was arrested with nine kilograms of cocaine at an airport in Brazil in 2008. The woman, Tessa Beetge, is currently serving an eight-year jail sentence in Sao Paulo.

The case against Cwele and Nabolisa was strengthened by the testimony of state witness Charmaine Moss, another South African woman the pair had attempted to recruit to smuggle cocaine from Turkey. Moss had testified earlier that Cwele and Nabolisa had offered her more than $3,500 for picking up a parcel in Turkey.

Go away with your crap! You can't tell me someone made you to become a serial thief, or a serial murderer, or a racist. You only discovered who you truly are once you found the forum and means to show who you are. You can't say someone made you to become an extremely hateful person for more that 3 yrs now without relenting and you say it's not who you are.

Well, youre Ibo so ure expected to lie! Soooo, I've been on here for "More thans 3yrs"? Surprising I'm just getting to know that Ive been on here for so long.

Anyways, I mentioned 5-6 people, just like me, that started off neutral until you your bloody brothers made them hateful and resentful!

EzeUche is still roaming free? He still aint been committed?

THE NORTH IS FINISHED

After 50 years of direct or indirect control of the Nigerian State, the North finally has lost it forever. It will never get it back.

The only way Nigeria remains one from here on is for a southerner of middle belter to rule. Yaradua is the last northern ruler you will know in your lifetime.

The first time you could tell there was trouble for the north was when they BEGGED for zoning. How the 'mighty' fall.

The advantage from military rule and civil war has finally worn off. The post civil war southern generation have no fear in them.

No more allies for the north. Not in the S/E they have always relied on for political alliance . Not in the middle belt they have tried to dominate and suppress . Not in the S/S that they stole from. Not in the S/W that sees them as vastly inferior beasts.

Nobody fears the north any more. Northern Christians and minorities are retuning fire for fire, blood for blood. A subdued northern Nigeria is a laughing stock. The Emperor has no cloths.

RIPieces Northern Hegemony

Abagworo:
What I don't like about some contributors is that their strategy is aimed at polarizing the country.They are interested in the President's ethnic group and not his performance.

Bombs went off in Maiduguri and everyone killed were Northerners.From the logic being presented by some posts here,if 2 or 3 southerners were somehow caught in the bombings,they would have termed it attack on the Igbos.

The whole issue is the fault of PDP and our ruling class who rather than presenting us with reasons to vote Jonathan were employing such terms as "they've ruled for 38 years","Buhari is an extremist","Jonathan is Igbo".

That was the reason for polarization of the election.Buhari's campaign was purely based on his record as a disciplinarian,honest man and change.They never for once mentioned North/South,Rotation or Religion.

The consequences of polarization coupled with rigging is that an illegitimate government has been produced and therefore will not be in control of the country.Every little misunderstanding will always be viewed from a tribal angle.

Shame on Nigerians for falling to this bait.

@jason123 and gadogado,
i like intelligent discussions with objective and that is exactly what i saw going on between the two of u. permit me to intrude here. i am from imo state so i am a typical igboman. the major problem with us nigerians is the idea of shifting the posts whenever we want to score goal to suit our purposes.
democracy is the govt of the ppl by the ppl and for the ppl. when we talk rotational presidency, this is not a northern ppl's issue rather a national issue and i tell u, this idea of a rotational presidency was to make sure the northerners did not hold on to power for ever. the igbos have no population to win the presidency and the word marginalization came from us. if u talk unity and progress when one side of the country continues rulling, u will at a point know it is not true hence everybody wants to rule.
the northerners are not the problem rather the southerners. we create and bend these laws to suit our purposes. we originated the following words to seek sympathy; born to rule - this is what we call the northerners, marginalization - this is what we say of ourselves, zoning - this is when we wantedthe presidency by all means.
my brother, the first military coup in nigeria was by the igbos but the hausas stepped in and enjoyed the most of it and we began to complain. we called for this zoning issue which they acceptedin good faith now what is happening? if we condem this zoning because we want jonathan, what is the gaurranttee that we will not complain tomorrow when the power goes back to them?
obasanjo in his criminalities wanted a third term and under normal circumstances, such a criminal will die politically with his third term agenda but what do we have here? same criminal turned to be the decission maker and invissible hands in aso rock,
the northerners to me have not been acting rather they react. why will u deny them of their rights since they are also nigerians? it is annoying especially when it is an individual doing.
the big question here is, where are the igbos in the picture? ogbulafor and nwodo both of whom were the pdp chairmen saw the truth and were shown the door. jonathan had to become ebele and azikiwe to make the northerners feel happy killing the igbos.
the death of these innocent igbo traders residing in the north calls for vengance because we have been turned into victims in all aspects of this country. we benefit nothing from the politics of nigeria yet we can't have the deserved peace to do the little trading business of ours.
some will say arrest buhari, how can u arrest buhari when jonathan and all his security agents cannot arrest containers bringing in weapons into this country?
my sincere opinion here is that we the southerners shld sit back and think very well what we want so that when we make a statement, we will stand on it.

Very intelligent points!

[quote author=EzeUche__ link=topic=654303.msg8207622#msg8207622 date=1303829043]Stop using a term you know nothing about.

No Igbo feels inferior to anyone. Why do you think every Igbo man thinks of himself as a king? No king feels inferior to a common peasant.

The fact remains that Igbos need to stop thinking of themselves as superior to each other and other groups.

I have never met an Igbo who though he was inferior to anyone. Most Igbos think they can do anything better than the rest.

To be frank, many Igbos have a[b] SUPERIORITY COMPLEX.[/b] Which means an exaggerated feeling of being superior to others. That is something I will admit.

Igbos see Hausa as backwards beast of burden and Yoruba. . . I wont say.

Now stop with your absurd psychoanalysis, because it makes you look like a DUMB ARSE.
