Ohaozara:
Umahi a small boy in Ebonyi politics? Tell me anybody in your area that's bigger than him in the so called Ebonyi politics. He know how to clear his way when the time comes, or perhaps Elechi and Ogbonnaya Onu should tell you more about him. Nevertheless I would want him to maintain cordial relationship with our leaders.

Umahi is a Lion

brexit:
He is not an ant, mind your language


He has performed more than all of them put together

He has surpassed every achievement of past and present governors in South East


Please call him a hero and an achiever

Iji okwu there my brother, tell the haters

Dharniel600:
oga I don't know anything about Ebonyi state. I'm not from there. The state no even develop self

Shut up you fool

Akudaisi:
please verify from them,we learn everyday

I expected you to tell me the exact part of Owerri, bcus I have some knowledge about Owerri & Imo state at list to a certain level.

Akudaisi:
holy shit you clearly need to travel biko don't make fun of yourself,even Owerri people say Ali please don't be daft,am saying it because you say ure from Ebonyi and that means you are Igbo,am always down with my Igbo brothers

I cant remember the part of Owerri that uses "Ali, please remind me, bcus I have a lot of Owerri friends I can verify from them.

Akudaisi:
and one can rightly say Ali is Imo,Abia and Enugu and Rivers dialect too so keep calm

See I dont like been harsh to my fellow Ebonyian & I can't start it with you either so select your words on me carefully. For your information please, no part of Igbo speaking Rivers state that uses "Ali, & there is no part of Imo that uses "Ali. And take Note please, I wasn't saying "Ali" is Ebonyi dialect to spat on any body but I said it to counter some people on NL trying to question the Igbo originality of the bearer "Ali Odefa, so stop picking fight where there is none, ordinarily I dont usually have this patient with ppl on NL. Im just been this civil bcus you are from Great Ebonyi.

Akudaisi:
like I said there is nothing like Ebonyi dialect that's my point I don't know who is majority but my people don't call Ani Ali

I never sighted majority in my post, I dont like bringing that line of argument in Ebonyi issue bcus it amplifies division which will not do us(Ebonyians) any good. & I hate to argue with my fellow Ebonyian on nairaland, but this is my position if you guys uses "Ani ok some parts of the state also uses "Ali, that means one will be right to say that "Ali is Ebonyi dialect, while "Ani is also Ebonyi dialect.

Juliusmalema:
You are a liar. From observation there is nothing like Aniocha in Anambra state. Aniocha is in Delta state.

Anambra will say "Ana" (Land) not Ani....then What they have is Anaocha in Anambra not Aniocha...


If you don't know ask others than misleading the public.

Oh! this Igala tout so you finally realized there are differentials in Pronunciations of Igbo words, I thought anambra should have been perfect in their own Pronunciations.
...onye Era

Akudaisi:
am from almost the same side with the Odefa man,same Ozara language but different dialects,we bear Ani and we don't have Li in our tongue,same for most Ozara speaking part of Enugu like the Nkanus and hey there is nothing like Ebonyi dialect,I barley understand Oshiri people which we share same language with talk more of Abakaliki

Well I didnt really catch up with your explanation, but in anycase if your own part of Ebonyi uses "Ani" instead of Ali no quams, but be inform that so many parts of Ebonyi uses "Ali, thats why I said is Ebonyi dialect.

vickydevoka:
Names like Ali, agbo, idoko, ujah n udeh can be found in Enugu cause de share boundary with de North. Dats y most of my Enugu friends look northerner n re dark in complexion (na God create Dem).
Same thing apply to Abia state especially abriba people de answer name like ena, ekpie, n umo cause de share boundary with akwaibom

No need for much explanation on that name Ali, Ali means land in Ebonyi dialect, just as Enugu & parts of Anambra pronounces it (land) as "Ani" reason why you have Aninri & Aniocha in both state respectively, then in general Igbo it is called "ala"

Nonybb:
So Igbo man is called Ali? Umu idioooots

Ali in Ebonyi means land, in Enugu/parts of Anambra it is called Ani,(Aniocha, Aninri) in general Igbo language it is called ala" which is land, always say what you know & keep shut on what you don't know.

Felixalex:
I had to sell many of my properties to pay back that loan

Where Umahi get 5billion naira properties from abeg


Was he a well known business man before joining politics?

Shut up your mouth, bcus you don't know him doesn't mean other people does not know him, go & find out how many properties he owns in port Harcourt before even becoming PDP state chairman, speak only for what you know not what you don't know, mumu.

Juliusmalema:
He said Umahi is not an igbo man and you are calling him Eghu..

Irie adu, Iduo onwe gi

This osu from Anam, hope you won't fissile out in a hurry, rotten pigs like you & ppl always tremble at the mention of that Great name Umahi, if in doubt you can ask the Igala coward that is busy begging for VP slot Peter Obi how he feels when ever he hears that name Umahi, but the thing is Umahi has become an unstoppable movement

Jaapu:
What brand of madness is this?

What brand of stupid question are you asking?

Icon79:
Which Umahi? The saboteur? Umahi is not an Igbo man, abeg.

And by the way, why does the South have to beg the North for everything? Isn’t it because we’re not united?


O pari

You are a very big idiot, a stupid one for that matter, saboteur on what, where & where did Umahi sabotaged you, did he eat your money? did you have any agreement on any deals with him, the party he left is it your family property, see maintain your lane with your stupidity, stop attacking an excellent man Umahi the only man that is bold enough to make a bold statement about President of Igbo extraction while others are busy begging for VP slot, bcus of Umahi's bold action discussions about President of Igbo extraction has been on centre stage in Nigeria & beyond, instead of Idiot like you to hail such a man, you are there talking rubbish, I repeat stay on your lane with your stupidity. Eghu

egoldman:
I don't know where you got your statistics,I'm from nnewi in Anambra state, while my wife is from delta state.

My junior brother is married to mbaise lady in Imo state while my senior bros wife is Edo.

I also know many Anambra families like this.

You are correct Bro, I'm from Ebonyi but two of my sisters got married to Anambra guys from Nteje, so I think is a choice not necessarily discrimination.

Whoube99:
Na how many pipu buhari wan give im position to sef im no wan give am to umahi again

And who said he wants to give Umahi power, did he discuss that with you, abeg you guys should let Umahi be the man no dey una level

okonyia:
They are confused. Jonathan is a PDP and attempt to go to visit him with selfish Umeahi and APC in other to attract Nigerians is miss leading.
Nigerian youths are wiser than this dictators

How is Umeahi a selfish man, is he the first man that defected to another party, plz come out of slave mentality.

depezee:
How much did he pay you for writing this rubbish.

Your type would continue to be reasons why politicians like your Dave Umahi will continue to exist for you as a small God.
You wrote all these and forgot to include number of people that are dying of hunger and starvation everyday because he demolished their shops which is their source of livelihood and also number of business he closed down because they not not belong to him.
The fate of these people will be your portion.
Amen!

It is very petty of you to think that he was paid to speak the truth, the question is those things he listed are they on ground or not, it still marvels me why you guys Gov. Wike inclusive are so pained about this man's defection, secondly talking about hunger & demolished shops, you see sweet omilet can never be made without breaking of eggs, I hope you will use your brain on my adedge, you may hate Umahi but don't hate his works, Umahi is a star Governor.

comrChris:
Thought this Umahi was wise, he's just so dumb

Why did you say so?

Cantonese:
Something is wrong somewhere. They would have aided Umahi the ungrateful man. Stranger is the allegation against Sam Egwu, a founding member of PDP!

What made Umahi an ungrateful?

SocialJustice:
Umahi has presidential ambition? Kio Kio Kio Laughing in Samagidi.

If presidency goes to the South East at all, it will be Amaechi. The kind of free hands Buhari has given that man is scary.

Amaechi is not from south east,

Sleekmilan01:
Oya Mr English teacher,enlighten me on the right words to use...

Abi is it not the same man that PDP brought from grass to his current position,
helped his family members to get notable positions in the govt
He also ran twice under PDP as gov and won,but decided to leave the party for APC after uttering lies years back that he will never join APC

Well he's not only a traitor but also a lied and a two faced human

You have a slavery mentality, what about the PDP that South East(Umahi's) Region have supported all the way from 1999 till date, yet when it is their turn to produce party's Presidential flag bearer they refused, who is a traitor in this case, think like a free born not a slave

Sleekmilan01:
And u are a traitor

What made him a traitor, you had any deal with him?

zeusdgrt:
Do ur findings

Findings on what

EmekaA125:
So
Atiku defected to APC and helped enthrone Buhari. Tambuwal, El-Rufai, Kwankwaso, Saraki did same. Muazu as PDP National Chairman couldn't deliver Bauchi to GEJ. He practically worked against his party together with Sambo(GEJ's vice) simply because they all viewed 2015 as Northern agenda. Did anyone arrest or slam them? I wonder why you people want to crucify Umahi. His move is a welcome development because PDP under Secondus(Wike's remote control) wants to zone the ticket back to Atiku 2023. So it means Igbos will bear the blunt of Atiku's inability to unseat Buhari in 2019 polls. He couldn't even secure majority bloc votes in his region, North-East. He struggled to win Adamawa whereas Obi cleared his SE despite SE governor's unwillingness to support him. That's what we call capacity. Atiku doesn't have the goodwill of the people. Money can't buy you trust and integrity. U earned it. Buhari, Obi earned it for themselves. I don't know anyone that enjoys such goodwill in South West. Let's watch and see what Umahi's defection portends for SouthEast. I support Alhaji Buba Galadima on his earlier assertion: It's SouthEast Presidency not Igbo Presidency because the latter portrays some kind of tribal colouration which makes most people think an Igbo man will divide Nigeria once he clinches the Presidency. Well, it's only equity and fairness that will put to rest IPOB agitation which will likely go fierce should North or SW holds on to power beyond 2023. Enough is Enough!!!

My brother God bless you, don't mind the ungratefuls, instead of them to support & encourage a man that is bold enough to say give us this(President) it is our turn, all they can do is to attack the innocent man just for nothing, they are still the one shouting SE Leaders are coward they kept quiet while they are cheating us, someone is now saying stop the cheating yet the same people are the ones attacking him, oh! our dear south east which way.

zeusdgrt:
Keep asking question u already know the answer to

And what is the answer if I may ask?

Jostoman:
were you there when PDP were zoning presidential ticket to the north?

He doesn't need to be there, Secondus remaining as Chairman, no southerner will contest under PDP, stop asking stupid question.

Elose11:
Has Apc zoned their presidential ticket to the south? I think not. Why don't Umahi wait until such is done and pdp did not follow suit before jumping ship? Anyway 2023 will soon be here. He will become like the man he took over from in Ebonyi, Martins Elechi: politically dead.

You are talking rubbish, He will never be like Elechi both men are not of the same capacity, you can see from the way both men governed Beautiful Ebonyi, the two administration can never be compared, Umahi is a shinning light anywhere anytime

Hedonini:
Even if they zone it to the South East, you think a local man - a slimy, vainglorious character like Umahi would get it? No chance

Let them zone it first, forget who will win, even if he loses he won't be the first or the last to lose primary, just let the man be please, haba

angelusbrut:
Will a typical Anambrarian vote for you? No,.abeg Carry your wahala dey go

How many vote your typical Anambra has? he doesn't need your Anambra vote to win
