Of what benefit was Okorocha's free education?

Imo used to be top in Education before Okorocha's Nosedive, now Abia has taken over even with a useless governor

So she just waking up to reality?

As these celebrities that can't speak up due to hypocrizy and tribal interest

PSVITA:
Am currently serving in Akwaibom now, IBIONO IBOM to be preside. They are good people.

Is there any state you can describe as "bad people?" In Nigeria?

Ajayi said Nigeria was very fortunate and commended the initiative of the President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice-President Yemi Osibanjo through various programmes to empower the youth.

Was enjoying the read until someone mentioned Buhari and Osibanjo

Nothing new...they are just following the steps of Philipp Emeagwali and Chike Obi...it's tradition

garfield1:
Before 3 months,the courts will nullify the polls.even without this rigging discovery,ihedioha will be sent packing as he didnt meet the condition to be declared winner

Dream on...it cost nothing to dream

This guy will be so irrelevant in next 3 months after Okorocha's disgrace

This na "Rapid Response Rape"

sage:
These guys are paid peanuts to defend the indefensible

What they dont realize is that because of Aba's potential, if some decent level of infrastructure came into the town, they would have the opportunity of making 10 times as much as the Governor pays them to defend him online.

There are threads on Southeast Development here on Nairaland showcasing hundreds of pages of development in each thread of Enugu, Anambara, Imo, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Ebonyi

There is none for Abia because of the decayed condition of the state.

Uyo was a really small town compared to Aba. Awka was a really tiny town compared to Aba. Owerri and Enugu too were behind Aba. Today Uyo is far more developed and Owerri and Enugu are much father ahead of Aba now. Even Awka has taken strides in development.

I weep for Aba and Abia people but I also weep for people who collect peanuts and defend the filth that Abia is today

Meanwhile their political patrons and their families spend all their time in Abuja (An actual city with full blown nightlife, street lights, traffic lights, pedestrian lights, 6 way lanes, night clubs, malls, cinemas, parks, shopping complexes, boulevards etc) when they could easily develop Aba to be at least Port Harcourt or Uyo or Enugu or Owerri levels.

Tufiakwa

My dear the night life aspect is killing.
Umuahia is dead zone once it's 9pm, because business are dead and crime is the order

Liars...it can't happen because election is over

konjakonja:
You dunce I travel to ebonyi at least twice a week for business and you can't use a one small town state to compare Abia. Abakaliki is as small as umuoba the capital of Isialangwa south which also happens to be a thriving town in Abia but a block head like you is not even aware rather some Nkwere people from IMO State will school you on that as they are litterd all over umuoba and owerrinta doing their legit business. Mind you they don't insult and claim Ngwas the way you Arochukwu imps do

Frozen Brain!

I asked you simple question and you keep dabbling into frivolities.
Mention one single standard Road project in entire Abia and post pictures here ...I dare you?

Abia receives more revenue from FG than any state in South East and should easily be the highest in IGR in same South East , but juxtapose same to level of development accros south East and tell me how Abia is developing?

Abia is virtually the only state in South East that can't pay salaries without federal allocation

Ebonyi, Enugu ,Anambra all pay salaries without federal allocation...Imo we know the Okorocha syndrome

Umuahia is a glorified village with dumpsite all over.

Aba is littered with substandard road with no drainage

Even political appointees of Ikpeazu praise him in the open and castigate him behind because he's ineffective useless stooge, but you who knows nothing about Ikpeazu and his style of government believe " Ikpeazu is the best thing since slice Bread and moi moi?"... tufiakwa!

2special:
How much does it cost to produce another flag?

You think is an ordinary "Asoebi Flag" like green and white NIGERIAN Flag?

nwadiuko1:
continue all these lies... it doesn't change anything, Ikpeazu has done well in moving Abia from where the other two theives left it .......
as for Otti....... he wont be the governor of Abia anytime soon...let him continue wasting time and money

Other thieves ...and Ikpeazu is proud to associate with T. A orji when he should be probing him? See your life?

Ikpeazu is busy doing "akpataa ekee" with T.A orji untop Abia resources ,if he's not useless shouldn't he distance himself as you rightly claim he's a thief?

ngwababe:
Tell me one business Alex Otti has in Abia State? You will only see 2k/m Aba road but you won't see other things he has done.

Shut your trap...His business is that he is a native of Abia and that is enough business

[buquote author=Chukazu post=77395048]

I beg make we hear word.

Can you honestly compare Abia with any state in South East in terms of development?

You guys are bunch of Jokers seriously.

Umuahia is a dump site

Salaries unpaid

And you still open mouth to defend such? Every available records shows Abia is number one in South east. 80% improvement in every sector in the past 3 and half years. You hungry idiots can cry me a river cos I know the state of things before OVI took over. As for a man who had only 64k votes and he is going to court, Goodluck to the idiot as he would be disgraced over again

Mumu...go to Ebonyi and see standard development.

Can you point to one standard road in entire Abia?

nwadiuko1:
oga the guy is right... ikpeazu is trying, say the truth when you see it.... everything is not about politics

I beg make we hear word.

Can you honestly compare Abia with any state in South East in terms of development?

You guys are bunch of Jokers seriously.

Umuahia is a dump site

Salaries unpaid

And you still open mouth to defend such?

nazicartel:
see Alex my man ooo... even they call for re-run 3times he will still lose to that big head... OVI is doing a nice job though....

OVI doing a nice job in your village?

If I pay for meter it becomes my property.

People live in rented apartment and you don't expect them to pay for meter and leave it behind when relocating to another place.

This happened to me in Lagos, we contributed money to buy the meter, now I have moved out of the house leaving the meter behind.

Meter shouldn't be individuals responsibilities

However, I envy those who can do this conveniently while traveling without feeling anyhow...

Each time I travel and we get to one of those Refreshment stops, I always marvel as to how my co-travelers grab every available food with no side effects whatsoever...the best I can make do with is plantain chips to avoid unforseen "stomach Royal Rumble"

julieeni:
That doesn’t work for me...what works for me is alvomite don’t know if I got the spelling right. I take it before traveling and it makes sleep throughout the journey

To sleep while on a journey is virtually impossible for me, it is just in my DNA to stay awake and alert till I disembark

This happens to me every time I travel especially with commercial buses , and less with private cars.

My personal antidote is not eating anything (infact I stop eating the night before the journey) before embarking on the journey and with enough Bitter Kola, it has worked for me

Yinka Odumakin bombs APC leader Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Says he is 80 years old, A serial forger with multiple identities and a shady past


Portrait of The Tiger Ambode Rode (4) By Yinka Odumakin
March 19, 2019

Dear Chief Tinubu,

The backpage of your The Nation of Tuesday 12 March where one of your Rottweilers under the FORGED name “Segun Ibirogba” wrote “Odumakin’s anxiety over vanishing feeding-bottles” has un-paused the button on this serial.

I have always wondered why these intellectual almajiris around you always attack me under fake names.It is either they are afraid of me or they don’t believe in you to risk their names doing the dirty job for you .

Well,we know many of them hold worst views about you than us but for the free money they have been accustomed to from a Robbin Hood.

The piece referenced was a rehash of same old silly lies and freshly minted ones.In keeping faith with my resolve that for every dart of lie you guys throw in my direction ,I will return 10 bombs of truth I make this response.And for every line I write,I can say like Fela Anikulapo-Kuti “Na true I wan talk again o,if I dey lie o,make Edumare punish me o”.

Since you guys made a failed attempt to impugn my integrity ,I have chosen to use this edition to place your life side-by-side mine on the scale of integrity so we can know if your hen can point at the boil in a hawk’s eye.I intend to show that were it not that Nigeria has become Ceaser’s palace where the leper holds the veil,nobody in your circle should move near that subject.

I am Yinka Odumakin and nobody can say he had known me under any identity in my life .I have led a straight life unlike you that people know under different identities depending on where they met you in your about 80 years on earth .Yes,80!

Those of us who are knowledgeable about you cant buy your 66 claim for so many reasons .The current governor of Osun is the son of your immediate senior sister from Iragbiji and he is 63 while you are claiming 66. Your first wife died in Lagos recently unannounced at 74.

When the son she had for you died many moths earlier his age had to be doctored to fit into the lie that you live. And there is a photograph of yours at the palace of Soun Ogbomoso in 1974 when the current monarch was installed with a bottle of beer and packet of cigarette in your front. You mean you were 20 when you were drinking and smoking in a palace?

There is no school I have attended in my life that my classmates would not come out in droves to say “yeah, we were there together!”. From St Augustine Primary School, Ondo to CAC Grammar School, Edunabon and Oduduwa College Ile -Ife down to Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile -Ife and University of Ghana.

At your end, St John Primary School Aroloya you claimed may be created by your new governor in Lagos. The old boys of Government College Ibadan were planning a reception for you when someone asked which set you belonged to. There has been no answer to that till date and the reception was cancelled. The tales by moonlight on Chigago State University and University of Chicago are all over the place.

My parents are alive in Osun and by God’s grace I will give them a befitting burial. I will not have to send emissaries to bury them since I have not abandoned “moomi” (that’s how we Oyo people in Osun call mummy) to be calling another woman “maami” in Lagos to fit a life of lie and greed. No Mama HID Awolowo would have told me that she knew all the children of “maami ” and that I was not one of them.

My parents are not rich but I am proud of them because it is from their black pot that my white palp has come out. I say proudly among my University mates today that they could not afford more than N60 per month for me throughout my University days .The story of grass to grace is a proud thing among the Yoruba. MKO Abiola was proud of the story that he ate egg for the first time in his life in the home of Simbiat Abiola’s parents.

With the modest means of my parents, they instilled so much values in me that there is no crime attached to my name in all my years on earth. Forging traveling passports had never appealed to me. Neither has my name been linked to a narcotic ring leading to inquiry and forfeiture of assets. All my life, my hands have provided for me. And they have provided for you too.

I recall when you returned from exile in 1998 and running for governor. You were not “Ezeego” then. You had only the Sunday Adigun house and all the four cars you used then belonged to Mr Ganiyu Solomon. There were a lot of printings being done for you by your friends at The News. I saw the price you were being offered and I told you my press could do it at 40%. I delivered and saved you 60%. I recall Mr Babafemi Ojodu complained openly that they could not do the price I offered you !

That should tell you and your attack dogs that I have always separated the cause I believe in from what I would eat unlike you who always mix the two. You pose as a June 12 hero today but Kola Abiola is alive to tell the story of what happened to MKO’s money as Bashorun is no longer alive. In 20 years, there is hardly any boundary between Lagos treasury and your private pockets. Your “O to ge” moment is coming some day and all the dirty deals will be out.

Like a rapist, you can tell your victims to shout “O to pe” for as long as stolen funds and drug money rule Lagos politics.

I have noticed that because you and your followers have no abiding principle and you are driven by only lust for money, you assume it is so for everybody. Your being glued to the lowest of all spirits (money) makes it difficult for you to make the right judgement about people thinking they are all about money. Was it that you didn’t have money when I told you in December 2006 that it was over between us politically? Have I ever looked in your direction ever? There are men who may not be able to give N10,000 to a cause but if they say they want to see me at 8AM I would be there at 7. Can you summon me with all your bullion vans?

I recall how you said to me in 2006 about Senator Tokunbo Afikuyomi and I quote you “Adiye ni Tokunbo, yin agbado fun a pada” (Tokunbo is a fowl, throw corns and it is U-turn). Has he not turned his back at you today? You don’t have “corns ” again? This was the man who was your fall guy when you made all the forgeries in 1999. He was among the team that went to bury your biological mother in Iragbiji when you could not show your face, has his exit not shown you there are men who place value on principle than money?

I have lived my political life on the basis of the fact that an adversary today can be an ally tomorrow and vice versa. I am not beholden to any person outside the core beliefs we share. One of the men I had an open disagreement with was President Obasanjo and when we reconciled it was an open thing. That differentiates me from you who walk both sides of the streets simultaneously. You were with NADECO and also in bed with Abacha through whom you forged friendship with the Chagourys who are your business partners till date.

The political buffoons around you would hold you out as an anti-third term person today but you know what happened between us on May 2, 2006. We had a meeting at Airport Hotel in Lagos where you were dictating the communique against third term unknown to participants you were at a meeting till wee hours of that morning to work third term in another way.

I was reading the communique to the press when you called me. I gave the phone to the late Rev Tunji Adebiyi but you told him you wanted to speak with me. We didn’t get to talk till late in the night. I had with me in the car as you spoke with me from VGC to Ikeja then President of Egbe Omo Yoruba in North America, Mr Odusanya. Let me quote you verbatim:

“I hope you have not released that communique. We need to manage this third term carefully. Obasanjo is a blind cat. If he causes problem now and they kill one Yoruba graduate in Kano and we kill 200 people selling onions in mile 12 it is not equal. I am therefore proposing that we have a win-win situation. Instead of outright third term we can have the confab recommendation of one six-year tenure starting with the incumbent having 2 extra years and so with we the governors. We can use the two years to empower people like you and handover to one of you. I have asked General Alani Akinrinade to come and I am going to meet Prof Soyinka to discuss it. I want you to think about it”

I told you as a matter of fact that the proposition was unreasonable and there was nothing for me to think about as I would prefer outright third term where we would have elections to automatic two years extension. But my eyes were opened to how unreliable you are that night. Here was a man dictating communique against third term in the morning having this conversation with me at night.

I made up my mind on you that night. The conversation I had with you minutes after Funso Williams was killed and the way you handled your your succession made me to severe political links with you within six months

Psalm 151 is a short psalm found in most copies of the Septuagint[1] but not in the Masoretic Text of the Hebrew Bible. The title given to this psalm in the Septuagint indicates that it is supernumerary, and no number is affixed to it: "This Psalm is ascribed to David and is outside the number. When he slew Goliath in single combat".[2] It is also included in some manuscripts of the Peshitta. The psalm concerns the story of David and Goliath.

The Eastern Orthodox Church as well as the Coptic Orthodox Church, Armenian Apostolic Church and the Armenian Catholic Church[citation needed] accept Psalm 151 as canonical. Roman Catholics, Protestants, and most Jews consider it apocryphal. However, it is found in an appendix in some Catholic Bibles, such as certain editions of the Latin Vulgate, as well as in some ecumenical translations, such as the New Revised Standard Version. Psalm 151 is cited once in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Breviary, as a responsory of the series from the books of Kings, the second in the Roman Breviary, together with 1 Kings 17:37 in a slightly different text from the Vulgate


Content.
The title of the psalm states that it was written by David after his battle with Goliath. The psalm assumes familiarity with and draws ideas and phraseology from elsewhere in the Bible.[16]


I was small among my brothers,
and the youngest in my father’s house;
I tended my father’s sheep.

My hands made a harp;
my fingers fashioned a lyre.

And who will tell my LORD?
The LORD Himself; it is He who hears.

It was He who sent His messenger
and took me from my father’s sheep,
and anointed me with His anointing oil.

My brothers were handsome and tall,
but the LORD was not pleased with them.

I went out to meet the Philistine,
and he cursed me by his idols.

But I drew his own sword;
I beheaded him, and took away disgrace from the people of Israel.

Anyone who doesn't like your complexion is not worth it

99.9% votes for Atiku means APC rigged the election?
That means Buhari didn't get mandatory 25% in South East to become president?

The state house members will sure defect to PDP

You must be sick for comparing this efuruefu with Sam Mbakwe?

Why must you single out one out of the league of Lawyers who decided on side of truth?
You will end up creating enmity for him and sentiment overall
