Dude is owing AMCON billions of naira and is partly responsible for the sack of quite a handful of bankers during the 2008-2010 banking crisis. We are also quick to forget how he scammed the Cosmos Maduka and was responsible for the removal of Cosmos from the board of Access Bank and write off of about 40billion naira in bad loans in 2013- 2014 thereby eroding shareholders funds in the bank.

He is also one of the oil importers responsible for the large scale subsidy fraud transactions ever recorded in the history of Nigeria and yet some Nairalanders are praising him. As rightly mentioned. It is one thing to donate, it is another for the cheque to clear.

I now understand why we can never move forward as a nation if we continue to accommodate such persons of shady and crafty character. In developed nations, personalities that have committed just one tenth of what this man has done don't even get to see the light of the day. The other day he worked into a live match and slapped the referee.

We still have a long way to go. Our emancipation is more of a mental one than physical. God bless Nigeria

such hatred.

calm down ooooo

hatred dey boil person nowadays.

dustmalik:
How can a man who owns a club in the Anambra football league donate to the FA of that same league? If we are being honest with ourselves, we would all agree that such is not a healthy donation. The Anambra FA should have rejected it. Any where else in the world, except, of course, Africa, this would be rejected.

Also, how can you say he donated to a club he owns? Isn't that an investment?

I expect those that are blinded by tribalism to not reason with me.

dude stop hating.


fc ifeanyi Ubah is not in anambra league.


fc ifeanyi Ubah is in. Nigeria premier league.

the donation was not made in his personal capacity..

the donation was made by ifeanyi Ubah foundation..as an ngo

Pls abuja is not north. I stay in abuja too and I have stayed in sokoto and kano. Igbos have lived in kano for ages. Infact most speak fluent hausa u cant tell the difference. They own property everywhere and nobody disturbs them. Northerners are very open and welcoming. But which hausa man can boast of land in anambra? Which yoruba man can bet his chest that he has land in owerri?? Pls u dont know what u are saying

you couldn't compete with few Igbo people living in the north. they own properties everywhere. How then do u think u can get property in place like anambra

NDI-IGBO. WHAT'S HOLDING US DOWN TODAY?
..............................................................................

By Amb. Adichie, Alfredo Izuchukwu (Alfred 5)

A lot has been said of Igbo Nation of today.

The rise of the Igbo in Nigeria affairs was due to the self-confidence engendered by their open society and their belief that one man is as good as another, that no condition is permanent.

The Igbos are known for their inter group and corporate consciousness as a people, and has been the most ardent champions of Nigeria Unity, but ironically, had to sponsor secession. The primary consequence of rebellion for Igbo's is that, with its eventual failure after a thirty-months Civil war, we have, like a conquered people which of course we are, been reduced almost to the status of second class citizen in our own country.

This is the bitter truth of our present position in Nigeria today.

HAVE WE CARED TO READ THIS?
......................................................

THE MILITARY IN NIGERIA POLITICS.

'Within six years of tragic colonial manipulation Nigeria was a cesspool of corruption and misrule. Public servants helped themselves freely to the nation's wealth. Elections were blatantly rigged. The subsequent national census was outrageously stage managed, judges and magistrates were manipulated by the politicians in power. The politicians themselves were pawn of foreign business interests.'...... Chinua Achebe; PG 51, There Was A Country.

Military coups in Nigeria

A military coup is the violent or non-violent overthrow of an existing political regime. Between 1966 and 1999 the army held power almost uninterrupted, apart from a short-lived return to democracy between 1979-1983. “Military coups and military rule which began as an emergency aberration became a seemingly permanent feature of Nigerian politics.

THAT JANUARY 1966 IGBO MILITARY COUP.
...........................................................

The January 15, 1966 coup was carried out by mostly Igbo army officers including Major Kaduna Nzeogwu, Major Emmanuel Ifeajuna among others. The casualties of the coup included the Prime Minister Alhaji Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, the Sardauna of Sokoto SirAhmadu Bello, the Premier of the Western Region Samuel Akintola, the finance minister Festus Okotie-Eboh among others, no prominent Igbo was assassinated. Seriously?

And we think there won't be after effect?

In a country in which tribalism was endemic, as rumour of an "Igbo coup" began to find acceptance. The 1966 jubilation was a mistake.

THE REVENGE: THE KANO POGROM OF MAY - SEPTEMBER, 1966.
...............................................................

1966 anti-Igbo pogrom

The 1966 anti-Igbo pogrom was a series of massacres directed at Igbo and other people of southern Nigerian origin living in northern Nigeria starting in May 1966 and reaching a peak after 29 September 1966. During this period 30,000-50,000 Igbo civilians were murdered throughout northern Nigeria by Hausa-Fulani soldiers and civilians who sought revenge for the 1966 Nigerian coup d'etat, carried out by 6 Igbo Majors and 3 Igbo captains and resulted in the deaths of 11 Nigerian politicians and army officers. These events led to the secession of the eastern Nigerian region and the declaration of the Republic of Biafra, which ultimately led to the Nigeria-Biafra war. The 1966 massacres of southern Nigerians have been described as a holocaust and have variously been described as riots, pogroms genocide.

THE FATHER OF IT ALL.
......................................

The pogroms led to the mass movement of Igbo and other Eastern Nigerians back to Eastern Nigeria. It also was the precursor to Late Ojukwu's declaration of Eastern Nigeria's secession from the federation as the Republic of Biafra, and the resulting Nigerian Civil War(1967–1970).

CIVIL WAR IN SUMMARY.
........................................

In a country in which tribalism was endemic, as rumour of an "Igbo coup" began to find acceptance. The 1966 jubilation was a mistake.

Killing Sir Ahmadu Bello, and other prominent Nigerians without any Igbo prominent men involved did put Nzeogwu and co on a collision course with Ethnicity, religious and political ramifications of such an action, something they had clearly not thought through sufficiently.

The ascension and descension of Late Aguiyi Ironsi won't be a discussion.

OJUKWU VS GOWN PERSONALITY CLASH.
.........................................................................

The personality clash between Ojukwu and Gowon was the major cause of Civil war. While Ojukwu was claiming the seniority, Gowon was chosen based on intelligent and humility. Gowon child of destiny as was described by my foreign policy lecturer Dr F.C.Okafor.

'There were total absent of any concrete plan to address the violent throughout the Federation. There were angers, there were tensions. The agitation for Independent in the Eastern part became louder and the threat from Federal government became more ominous in a vicious circle.....' China Achebe PG 85, There Was A Country.

Aburi Accord of January 5, 1967 was reached, but one thing got me mute... How could Late Ojukwu include a request for us not to recognise General Gowon as as a Supreme Commander?

I told you that those massacred during the war were the end product of IGBO MAN'S EGO AND CHEST BEATING.

Though Confederation should have been better if both parties did understood the principle of Confederation far back then , but the issue of non-recognising Gowon as a Leader remains No!! No!! No!!

All efforts and attempts to make peace were void and null due to personality class between the dou.

I learnt that when a leader of a nation wants to go to war, he should involve and consult his people.

Did Ojukwu consulted with Late Nnamdi Azikiwe and Micheal Okpara, the premier Eastern Region? No. He did not. That's how not to lead. You must invite your people and you must carry them along.

OJUKWU'S IGNORANCE LED NDI IGBO INTO TROUBLE.
....................................

The failure of Eze Ndi Igbo Gburugburu to consult his elders before embarking onghis war lead us into trouble. Small, but mighty as Is real, we fought a thirty-months war. Gallantly with little foreign assistance, with home made arms and ammunition. Over 5 million lives were lost. Properties were destroyed.

It was truly 1966 January Revenge!!

It was truly personality clash between Ojukwu and Gowon.

There has been debates over the decades since about why Ojukwu left his soldiers and ran away to take Asylum in Ivory Coast. Why not doe with Biafran soldiers he sent to the war front?

Ojukwu, our resistance leader was so wronged to ran away.

NDI IGBO TODAY AND WAY FORWARD.
...............................................................

This is a call on we Ndi Igbo's to re-examine ourselves, and try to correct some of our defects and our short comings in the character and manner of our behaviour particularly as they affect our relations with the Nigerians. The Ignos need Nigeria just as Nigeria needs us. We need Nigeria for the wide scope it afford for our boundless industry, resourcesfullness and competitive energy.

We should do away with the bitterness of this war we lost.

My Take and Advice....

If we need to break up, if we truly need Biafra, all these agitation won't be a guarantee, the only guarantee we have is to advise our Federal Representatives to help make laws that would see for reshaping of our constitution that will help provide means for National Conference.

Hope we all read a communique issued by Ijaw Elders last week?

lol. no investor actually

heo88:
It's after the fact but these Fulani herdsman attacks are getting out of hand and Buhari needs to delegate an overhaul/improvement in policing.

I am not keen on the link between it and added momentum behind Biafra. The initial Biafra movement was understandable in some ways due to the violence levelled at Igbos resident in different parts of the country, namely Kano. However, even back then when the momentum began for a Biafran Republic, Ojukuw was being politically opportunisitic (He was Northern raised, educated in England and his dad Louis was the founder of the Nigerian Stock Exchange). When the shit hit the fan, he ran off to the relative safehaven of Cote d'Ivoire and waved the white flag in surrender, from a distance.

The demarcation of the area which includes the present day Rivers, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom and Calabar subsumed within Biafra was a very deliberate move to ensure accrual of oil wealth/revenues. This was just as, if not more important than securing the safety of Igbo people. Had this cession movement been successful, it wouldn't have been to the benefit of the Igbos, Ikwerres, Efiks etc, at large, but to the benefit of a small elite as is the case in several countries/territories.

In the present day, people like Nnamdi Kanu are also acting opportunistically under the guise of Biafran agitation to preserve the safety of namely igbos, and if he succeeds, life will not improve under him, I can say this confidently. Besides, whilst I recognise everyone has a right to self-determination and can assert the idea of an Oduduwa Republic, Arewa Republic, Biafra, Niger-Delta Republic etc, it's worth considering the merits behind it. Ultimately, in a day of Nation State arrangments, and being an African country with all the historical baggage which comes with that, it is only a further disadvantage to not have a port. A latter-day Biafra wouldn't mirror the historical Biafra which means it would be landlocked and import and export of physical goods would prove problematic, without cooperation from the Niger-Delta. This would be similar for the likes of an Arewa Republic.

All-in-all, an overhaul of policing would remedy, at least in part, the security situation which is easily exploited by Fulani herdsman. However, if you're one who supports cessionary movements, it would be worth challenging your point of departure. The adage holds: "be careful what you wish for".

what I don't understand is how you took time to type this lengthy trash.

you only tried to mask your hatred as a yoruba.

this is a confirmed lie.

fiizznation:
Is there anything like Abia state electricity power supply{ASEPS}? This I don't know but what I know was there was a kind of dispute between Enugu disco and one geometric{Don't know if is a disco} over one Aba power generation. At some point, the governor{abia state} said something like reactivating one geometric power project which has reached its advance stage. Maybe the governor has fulfilled his promise and that might likely be the reason why umuahia is getting the 15-20hrs electricity a day

geometric is a private generation company owned by Barth nnaji. the former minister of power.


the mistake Nigeria made was allowing Barth nnaji to resign as minister.
light improved drastically during his tenure.


d fight between geometric and enugu power owned by emeka offor... is over who will supply Aba.




geometric has d capacity to deliver uninterrupted power supply to Abia state and port harcourt currently

omenka:
Ohh shut the hell up. You know absolutely nothing. I'm also half Niger Delta and have every right to comment on anything that affects its people, so you can shove your Fulani crap wherever you want to.

No one, I repeat, NO ONE is going to blackmail the FG into releasing the criminal called Kanu. Get that into whatever part of your body that processes information for you.

Loser, I won't blame u. Because u re from the east, it's normal to defend ur region on social media, even when u know d east is underdeveloped. U won't see the truth in it. No wonder u self-acclaimed Jews are the only tribe who travel a lot simply because ur region is s shithole for investors.

e pain am

proeast:
Is it not obvious that Igbos have lost interest in Nigeria? Truely, the strike is almost inexistent here in the East & the reason is not far-fetched, Igbos want the rest of Nigeria to enjoy their change, they were never part of it! Yes, you might argue that we all are in this sh!t together but then they have resigned to fate!!

fate wish is favourable

spiritfada:
Marist is owned by the catholics right? that has been my stand.

What about the fund given to the Catholic Schools by the state government, wont they benefit from it?

How much was your school fees during ur time of study?

Over to you sir!

marist won't benefit from the fund. because they 're not in the class of schools the funds 're meant for.


schools previously owned by missionary which the government collected and now returned to the ministry.


the good point of this policy is that anambra budget for education is reduced.

aminho:
I hope no one will talk next tym a governor supports islamic schools in the north

the schools 're public but being managed by the church...most government schools in anambra 're located in church compound.

spiritfada:
Wrong move..The Governor is truly working but am strongly against this because I know its a pre-campaign event.


Why funding the Catholic/Anglican schools with such huge fund, whereby we pay huge fees for our kids in their schools? if your child is in one of these school, you can attest to what I am saying!


What about the private and schools been owned by the Pentecostal churches? They are always ignored due to the fact that says ''If you don't belong to either the Catholic/Anglican denomination, You can never win an election in the state''

let me make something clear to you.


the government schools in Anambra state wr all previously owned and built by the missionary...the government took it from them. way back.


but the administration of Peter Obi the former governor of anambra state returned all government schools previously owned by the church. he returned the schools to the church who have now proven to be better managers of educational institutions.


as it stand now the government of anambra state does not involve itself with the running and administration of the schools. all it does is provide funds to d church In d presence of the people.

to confirm u need to visit public schools in anambra. you will think they r construction yard.


UBEc sent people to anambra to understand how it works because they plan to implement the approach. cos it worked for anambra state.

typical zombie article

Abagworo:
Thats a complete lie. Niger Deltans get all the jobs but resell them to other Nigerians willing to work. They prefer selling to Yoruba than Igbo but Igbos offer better amount and conditions. The problem of Niger Delta (especially pure Ijaw found in Delta and Bayelsa) is that belief of reaping without sweat.

abagworo smh for you.

beats me how a 40 year old man still living wit the parents with no recognized source of income can come online to claim MR KNOW IT ALL
