If....so you are doubting that. Well thank God for Buharis victory! Igbos now know their real enemy....the Ijaws! Never again will we vote for a conniving, clueless, silly bowler hat wearing Ijaw man. Under Buhari, we will push for compensation for the abandoned property ...at least we will get a fair hearing. Jonathan the hater of Igbos will never get our support ever again. We will also push for the cancellation of the second niger bridge toll gate that Jonathan initiated to humiliate the Igbos and put us in perpetual slavery for 25 years.

You guys are seriously overrating this grandpa. Even I, his avowed critic , am not expecting so much from him.

OrlandoOwoh:
How come Ohanaeze was among the first group, if not the first, to send a congratulatory message to Buhari?

What did you expect them to do? Demand for cancellation of election?

Those shouting "prison".. May I ask, under what charges?

mulante:
I suspect that the APC government is going to introduce inheritance taxation in Nigeria. It's a good move with onerous implications for the tax payer. One could lose up to 40% or 60% of his inheritance depending on how benevolent or malevolent the lawmakers decide to be.

Nigerians vehemently opposed subsidy removal and the lekki toll to mention a few. I wonder how they'll take the news of VAT and sundry tax increase.

GenBuhari:
Why is this news?

Handover is meant to be done without announcing every step to the press.

America that is committing genocide in the name of Bokoharam is surely planning with it stooges in Nigeria's presidency to stop Buhari becoming president, all this leads one to suspect, they are planning coup.
All this is an attempt is an attempt to launder GEJs image so that when Buhari is eventually denied his mandate to rule by whatever means, GEJ could be cleared of suspicion.

All of us must do what we can to protect the General and his incoming govt, before it is too late.

Of all shitty conspiracy theories, this one takes the cake.

veekid:
submit and live Leave jor

Spell check....

Everyone telling buhari what to do...... When he doesn't, hating starts.

raumdeuter:
This chaotic Southeast

Election in 4 states and 2 are inconclusive. Thats a 50% failure rate due to chaos

Out of the other regions consisting of over 25 states, How many states do we have inconclusive elections

That's mainly due to the stiff competition between candidates.

petkoffDrake:
Rochas pls go. No transfomer talk more of light in mbaise or is mbaise not in Imo?

Channel your complains to the newly privatized power firms hitherto owned by the FG, for God's sake.

Out of the 144, 000 registered voters, less than 50% will turnout to vote. And all the votes can't go to ihedioha .... Let's say 70% go to ihedioha, that wouldn't clear the nearly 80,000 gap rochas is leading with....

KingEbukasBlog:
I still don't get why my fellow Igbos insist on PDP . Owelle has done a lot in Imo State but PDP still got close to half of the total votes

Same happened in Lagos. It's healthy for democratic growth.

Murder, 1st degree.... No way she's escaping at least life sentence.

skyisthelimit:
Can we all just pray hard for this new govt to succeed and stop attacking every thing with so much negativity...this is about Nigeria and not any political party..who would not want a better life irrespective of the political party that brings it?..our collective good and development should be the focus here..no sentiments.

Too late, the negative attacks got so bad in GEJ era due to the reign of free speech pushed by social,media and the FOI law. It isn't about to stop anytime soon.

Besides, didn't a top USA military officer say that boko haram "is not a priority"?.. The cancellation of joint military training with USA didn't occur without cogent reasons.

“So, we must be ready to offer the
parts of our country affected by this
group an alternative. Boosting
education will be a direct counter-
balance to Boko Haram’s appeal.
Tell me something GEJ hasn't done......

CrazyMan:
People should learn to settle their dispute peacefully without resorting to violence.

Why terminate your life or the life of another person over a feud that could have been easily resolved? It makes no sense.

You could imagine what they would have done if their Messiah had lost the election....

Don't forget to remove any chairs.... Strictly on bed things.

The grouse I have with her is her coming out at the tail end of the administration to address the issue of the alleged billions spent on private jet and sundry matters. She's such a snob.

Sibrah:
Even APC campaign cost is put at a staggerring 300 billion plus

And nobody is questioning that....

Gmb should probe his 1983-85 regime as well...

heykims:
RIP, may d gentle soul rest in peace

Man, that pic must have been snapped in Ghana.

abbey621:
Why are Nigerians so negative minded? I don't see anything wrong in the article, they nailed it right on point! Any government would have a hard time tackling the challenges facing Nigeria. What did you expect them to say? That it would be easy to combat all the problems? That Buhari would magically wave a wand and all our problems would disappear? Come on guys get real!

Erm.. That seemed like the message passed to the supporters during the campaign. My favourite is the one of GMB personally leading troops to Sambisa et al

Nuvally:
Enugu State University Of Science & Technology (ESUT) is, without a shot of doubt, arguably the best school to study Engineering in Nigeria. Argue with your ignorance

aight opposing your argument. But Esut breeds the heck outta cultists, damn!

Overzealous...

Creative...

Just like they were forced to rig for pdp in mbaise to the tune of 55,000 votes that's above the number of accredited voters

PointB:
Infrastructure and Industry is what Imo State badly need, and that's why I gave example of Peter Obi, Akpabio and Willie.

Rochas didn't do much, even though the state allocation is not much, but I believe he could have done better. And I still think he's a better choice than Ihedioha and Iheanacho!

Noted. That's constructive.

PointB:
The UBE does not cover tertiary education, unlike Rochas 'free eduation.' Can you say he did 'justice' his promised free tertiary education? The policy was not properly thought through, poor articulated, and haphazardly implemented.

I prefer a thinking leader for Imo State, Rochas is not one. I doubt if Iheanacho or Ihedioha are either.

Iheanocho of course has his military background, while Ihedioha, just like Rochas, is more or less a career politician. All poor choices.

Someone in the mold of Peter Obi or Akpabio is what Imo State need. I'll even settle for Willie Obiano.

Look like we are stuck with Rochas for another four years!

In terms of infrastructure, what do you have to say?

waternogetemeny:


Imo state traditionally is a PDP State.

Where did you get that pile of crap from?.. Apga has been doing well in IMO in previous elections but were out-rigged. "unfortunately", rochas decided to b|tch off to APC doing serious harm to apga's regional conquest ambition. He's been forgiven but I doubt apc will survive there after he's gone.

PointB:
Loath him or love him, one think you can't take away from Rochas is that he's a maverick.

i don't support his 'free education' policy because of the way it was implemented and also because I believe base on the fact on ground, free education is not Imo State immediate need. But if the people want him back and the oppositions (PDP and APGA) are unable to forge a united front to rescue (or wrestle) Imo State from him, then let him continue to be governor.

Hopefully, he see his mistakes and improve on them.

APC should make no mistake, Imo State voting for Rochas is far from voting for APC! The vote is for the man, not his party!

Well , the free education policy is an implementation of U.B.E policy. He's decided to pay the counterpart funds and has done justice to the policy in the state. I don't think that can count as a minus anytime.

Mynd44:
If the number of registered voters is 144,000, he leads by 79,000 votes..that's grounds for it being inconclusive

But if the number of PVCs collected is not up to 79,000, that is a victory but so as not to disenfranchise people, they must vote but he still wins

IMO state has a pvc collection rate of 95%, so I guess they could give it a shot. Rochas will still definitely win though. He's done well and has been forgiven for nearly destroying Apga at its prime.

seanbond00:
I think you are daft.

These are the few intelligent igbos that do not deserve to be hated in Lagos.

They are seen as part of our brothers because they have the mentality of a true Lagosian. Most of my Igbo friends grew up here and they reason like a Lagosian and not the ones that came from the village to spoil their image.

You're clearly the daft one here, as I never referred to you earlier. FYI I'm "Lagosian" by upbringing and I've spent a few years lately in the East. You can never understand the core easterners until you live with them in the hinterlands.
