She won't remain the same thereafter. Imagine daughter in a sick bed, husband in prison. Non of Ekweremadu children could give their sister kidney but a poor boy had to be entice with money. Maybe he got what he deserves but ...

It's a very unfortunate time for them. The major victim is the sick daughter and the poor boy. I have lost 2 friends to this kidney illness, they were both less than 30 years when they passed on. We should take our health seriously and avoid drinking fake alcoholic drinks and rubbing poisonous bleaching cream.

Bomboiy:
Otedola should not be taken seriously,he is part of the people benefiting from corruption in Nigeria. He would always support corrupt leaders because that is his only gateway to wealth.

It is funny how his children are living large in abroad but he wants us to vote for someone whose only aim is to feed us cassava and Agbado.

2023 is not about corrupt personnels like Otedola and Tinubu,2023 is all about the poor masses,the students on strike,the poor women buying kerosene for 800/litre. 2023 is the year the above people will stand behind a candidate we believe in and not a drug dealer that pays people for political support

Otedola has the right to choose any candidate, that doesn't make him corrupt. Campaign for your candidate respectfully please.

Awka — Scores of angry workers of Anambra State Water Corporation yesterday stormed the Awka Government House to protest before Governor Peter Obi the non-payment of 36 months of arrears of salaries.

They alleged that the government was insensitive to their problems.
However, in an interactive session with journalists last week, Obi had noted the problem of the corporation and said it is one of the areas he would tackle effectively and revolutionize.

The placard-carrying workers besieged the main entrance of the Awka Government House at about 11am calling on the Government to pay them their 36 months salary arrears. They accused the state government of not paying enough attention to the water sector.

In an 11-point resolution prepared by what they called 'the Workers Action Committee' of the corporation, the workers called the government to 'pay off the workers and close the corporation if and only if the government and people of Anambra state do not need our service any more'.

'The workers of the Water Corporation feel constrained to inform the general public of the sufferings, anguish and inhuman treatment being meted to them by way of unpaid salaries now accumulated to 36 months. It is common knowledge that the State Water Corporation is a very important Government parastatals which provides potable water to the citizens, but has since suffered neglect from successive governments coupled with the ecological disasters at her major schemes at Onitsha and Awka.

'Lack of potable water in major cities of the state has resulted in current epidemic in the state. It was in recognition of the hopelessness of the workers and therefore the compelling need to alleviate the sufferings of these workers who have been owed several months arrears of salaries, until the change of government. In addition the government was visiting the corporation steadily to assure workers and assess the progress of staff and as well inspect some government commitments in the corporation.

'Surprisingly and in utter disbelief in the present dispensation, the poor workers have grudgingly been paid only two months salaries by government in today's depressive economy, out of 36 months and the doors closed on the poor workers. Our number 1 state citizen has not bothered to visit the facilities of the corporation to assess the situation and has not bothered also about the frequent reports reaching him through his aides, friends and relations and even the clergy about the death of so many staff of the corporation and members of their families whose children cannot get medical care for lack of fund, no longer attend schools, just as the parents cannot afford food, pay house rent etc.

'Workers have communicated the Governor variously on this non-payment of salary issue. During a recent visit to the Government House by the workers our Governor promised the workers a fair deal but regrettably since then, about five of the workers who went to see him have lost their lives added to over 45 other workers who have since died. Other scheduled parastatals in the state are receiving salaries regularly except Water Corporation. In other states, of the federation Water Agencies receive handsome subvention and other assistances necessary', the workers said.
Addressing the protesting workers, Anambra State Information Commissioner, Prof. (Mrs.) Chinyere Okunna told them that the government was working hard to address their problem. In fact, the commissioner informed the aggrieved workers that their problem came up in their recent executive council meeting.

Okunna said the government would commence the payment of the arrears by the end of this month as she told them that it was an issue that needs collective decision hence its deliberation at the executive council meeting.

This was months after he was sworn in, at least this can serve as an evidence of salary backlogs when he became governor, which he cleared before handing over.
The fact remains that Peter Obi and the late Dora Akunyili are some of the most passionate leaders from the South East since 1999. Same passion as Fashola, Zulum, Donald Duke and Elrufai.

That year ehhh kai


See Nigeria team to the 2002 world cup

I was surprised to learn that Bartholomew Ogbeche (beside okocha) still plays active football 20 years later. He is even doing well in the Indian league.

helinues:


See, let's be realistic here, people can't be complaining about Same thing on the attitudes of some if not majority of Obi's supporters and think they are all saying nonsense.

I do not support Obi, it's all glaring on my activities on this forum yet you can never say you have seen me attacking him or his personality.

Infact, I have been making suggestions to Obi and his supporters on how to run the campaign . That's how I believe real Politics should be played not the other way around.

Obi's supporters don't have decorum, they are not interested in listening to the other side.

The question is would such attitudes attract people to Obi or send them away

Oga shut up. Number one mpurumiri and ipob poster in this platform.

Omooba77:
Are Obi supporters helping his cause?

Let tell you upfront, I will not vote OBI, but I can dissuade anyone, but the cyber bulling is becoming unbearable.
I woke up this morning that Pastor Poju, that gave platform for former Gov. Obi to promote his ideals, have been forced to pull down his message.
Hope Obidents are learning.......

Thank God you never supported him, why the sudden care? Or you want to apply reverse psychology. Why didn't he give BAT his platform?
I don't support the cyber bullying but he should just come out plain and say who he is supporting and give reasons. Not to dampen the morale of the youths.

All of a sudden people are threatened and dampening the spirit of the youth to make change. We know that 2023 will be APC vs PDP. Let's allow the youths to express themselves, they have kept quiet for too long. Public Universities have been on strike for months and all these emergent spokesperson did nothing about it.
If the youths have decided to waste their vote in 2023 to make a statement let them be.
I forsee an election rerun if BAT, Atiku, Obi and Kwankwaso are on the ballot, as it will be extremely difficult for the big two to get 50% of the vote. That will give LP a bargaining power when supporting either APC or PDP. If LP performs well I.e get up to 4m votes, I believe it will inspire a greater movement in 2027.

The real voters are not online so they will not see it or get offended. Moreover, the sticker can always be removed.

Dsalvo:


You don't know me. I am on the side of Nigerian youths. My kids were born in one of the best nations of the world and being raised there.

They are in a system that works well and makes my job as a parent much easier.

I want the same for every Nigerian child whether Igbo, Yoruba, Fulani, Idoma, Edo, Itsekiri, Ijaw or whatever.

Yet pragmatic knowledge and awareness of occurences under Buhari for the past seven years, will leave most critical thinker aware of the fact that only Tinubu is fit to move Nigeria forward.

Atiku, though okay-ish in my opinion, will be compromised and cannot improve Nigeria. That is a fact. The holistic reforms Nigeria needs Atiku will never touch because of innate compromises that will prevent him doing so.

Kwankwaso will even be worse as an unrepentant Northern supremacist who is near fascist in political leaning.

Peter Obi is the biggest joke only young and gullible Nigerians can entertain because, due to disappointment in a failed system, they erroneously believe the youngest candidate is best.

He would come with no structure, no support base to fight for him, against the most wicked and most heinous cabal in our human universe, and would be undermined at will, regardless of his good intentions, as GEJ was repeatedly, expensively and detrimentally for Nigeria.

Idealism, and disillusionment about past "failed old men", is the only thing driving the Obi project.

Even recent events, where Jagaban fought very powerful supremacist 'business as usual, forces to emerge APC candidate, shows he is the President Nigeria needs.

Obi fled at the slighest sign of difficulty in his path. Is that who you want fighting your cause in a life or death battle?

Match all that with the names Tinubu has made who themselves have gone on to be heavyweights of Nigerian politics and administration.

Show me a single titan Obi has mentored if you understand that the best leaders raise other leaders. Just show me one alone.

While at it, show me one enduring institution or political platform Obi has created. Just one will do and let us remember Obi has been in Nigerian politics for 2 decades now.

While the ordinary Obi is party-hopping, up and down, like a cheap prostitute, Tinubu was resolutely changing the political landscape of the huge and entrenched SW deposing PDP to replace it with APC.

He mentored a process virtually unseen in Africa i.e the feat of defeating the incumbent President of a self-styled "biggest Party in Africa" monolith.

Is it not obvious, for critical and logical thinkers, that it is only disillusionment with 'names' that is responsible for the misguided faith being vested in Obi?

In everything, and in regards to presidential qualities, Obi does not even reach the ankle of Tinubu.

Sad truth is that most Nigerian youths, per what they invest their time in, are not informed enough to make good, logical and pragmatically effective political choices.

If I only take an interest in a car when it is time to drive it, without familiarizing myself with how to maintain my vehicle, will my car remain sound and fit for it's primary purpose of getting me from A To B ?

I get your point and they are valid. I just feel that the youths should be encouraged to express themselves any how they want. Public Universities have been on strike for the better part of the last four years.
I have nothing against the Asiwaju, he is a great politician who has structures. Let him tell the youths what he will do for them too.

Dsalvo:


Lol. Really 'massive'. Earth-shattering sef. What
a joke the Obi project is.

Since it is a joke, what have you done for nigeria before? Like it or not, these guys have done what they believe is right. At the end of the day even Atiku and Tinubu with their bigger platforms can't be president at the same time, one of them must lose.
You mock them for campaigning online, they go offline you still mock them online. This is how battered the Nigerian youths have become.

I saw some unnecessary exaggerations in the movie. Saw 50 missed calls from Jemma on the chiefs phone, then $15 billion dollars missing.. like $15,000,000,000

leksite120:
Nollywood is not Igbo. Let me tell you a bitter truth. A standard movie produced in Yoruba would earn more audience than another standard one produced in Igbo. Yoruba owns Nollywood, Yoruba makes it fruitful , we make it 'tussh' and honourable and we have the audience to make any movie sells faster, so we own Nollywood

You people have come again. In the 90s and early 2000s you guys mocked the igbo dominated nollywood for putting out substandard movies, but guess what? Those same movies were celebrated across Africa. We had stars from all tribes like Omotola, Ini edo, Jim iyke, Desmond Eliot etc.
Today the yorubas have invested more on cinematography which is good but trying to mock the Asaba industry that gave us a niche is what I don't agree. How many of this good quality movies make wave in Africa?
The only mistake I think the Asaba/Enugu film makers made was calling themselves Nollywood. A Sallywood or so would have give authenticity to them. Now after all the labour you guys benefiting from their foundation now mock them openly.
That's how you guys mocked Genevieve on her first nigerian movie on netflix, but today every Tom, dick and Harry have theirs.
The problem with us Nigerians is that we don't honour the labour of our heroes past.

Was using seahorse... But just put in mobile xhp 20w/50... I will monitor it.

Which oil was recommended? I would have thought it to be 5W/30

mine85:
If i drive for a 5mins or more, white or light blue smoke will suddenly come out and within 2 mins, it will stop. Sometimes, when i accelerate, the smoke will come out much, other times, it won't. Still yet, it smokes sometimes even i don't accelerate at all.

Comparatively, most times, it doesn't smoke. But when it does, it comes out quite much and stops gradually. But when i start the car, it doesn't bring smoke.

What could be the fault.? Your advice needed to also guide me with all these mechanics.

Car. Is 2.2 camry

Check if you are using the right engine oil specification.

gregng:
Relax....


Kwankwaso will collapse his structure for Peter Obi...
We are obediently waiting for him... But if he continue his block headache will serve no choice bringing Alhaji Sanusi (formal CBN) as running mate for Peter Obi

Thanks for the clarity. The word is to collapse the structure and not merge parties.

indodon:
go back and read the section 81 again..















Please get your fact right before you mention..
Peace

Oga you sounded reasonable that's why I mentioned you. I read it and I shared it on the forum. Correct me don't rubbish my opinion. Everybody in this nairaland carry vex for heart. Every small thing na fight. Someone can't have simple discussion.

indodon:
We all can't wait for NNPP LP merger

I don't think there can be a merger. Section 81 of the new electoral act says all merger should be done 9 months before an election.

Selfish people, all those while you were the flag bearer it was all good. Now that it doesn't favour you, you can't support the winner.

FallenShitHole:

You are daft if you think those thieves like Tinubu and Atiku have anything tamgible to present to you on tv.

Wise one please come and become the president now. Since you have everything tangible to present. Ewu

FallenShitHole:
Please we need to see a video of Tinubu answering questions on his manifesto for you one nigeria fools. Just his video on chanels tv, Arise Tv or even an arrangee interview on his TVC news tv will be enough.

The truth is that the stronger candidates avoid live interviews as any slip can bring negative publicity, whereas the not so strong candidates have nothing to loose when they go to the media. Use the case of Wike vs Atiku.

To get an idea of the strong candidates in APC, just observe those not going to the media. e.g Tinubu

Viraltrends123:
LOL, name 2. Just 2. And I will name 10 in Anambra or rivers, obi cubana, cubana Chief priest, Ned Nwoko, Emoney, Kcee, orji kalu... And I've never been to the east ooo. You can you name 2

Unfortunately no igbo man is worth a billion usd. Except you meant 1 billion naira. 1 billion naira is just about $1.7m, and I bet over 10,000 nigerians are worth it, from probably every local government.

Bros no dey compare chief priest and Kcee with Borno guys o. Don't compare at all.

DitariDisciple2:
Igbos don't value women.
In my Ijaw, women are valued more than men.
In Nembe and Brass all the children belong to the wife family.
Other Ijaws always bring the corpse of women back home.
At times you can bury man outside but never women.
My mother took more of her father's inheritance more than her two elder brothers and only brothers.


All Ijaw main Gods are females.
Known as OUR MOTHER in our different Ijaw dialects.

Same with all Ijaws unjustly balkanized into Ondo, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers and Akwa-Ibom States.
When Ijaws are not even scattered by God.

OUR MOTHER.

Please tell me one ijaw female governor or Senator.
The way you guys generalise things amazes me. Every id*ot has something to say about igbo. 2 of the 3 senators in Anambra State are women. First female governor in Nigeria is also an igbo woman.

Cubalabloo:
You are just a fuking coward who couldn't fight to finish.

You that is brave go and share dollar na. Poor rat like you with that your green shirt since nigeria 99.

The problem of this country are the people.

Peter Obi has a good relationship with GEJ. Is he decamping to APC to support Goodluck. Everything will become clear with time.

In 2005 there was an accident between a trailer and other vehicles at this same spot, there was a police checkpoint and the trailer was avoiding settling them. Over 50 people died and that led to a need for the reconstruction of the onitsha-enugu expressway.

Reconstruction works commenced that year, with the complete removal of the asphalt along the the road, which turned the fairly good road to a muddy one. 17 years later the road is still in a bad state.

gartamanta:
So in the other thread of similar name, someone said Ikwerres are not Igbo and buttressed it with some differences in the central Igbo language and Ikwerre language.

I decided to compare the numbers 1 to 10 in with central Igbo and Ikwerre language


1 to 10 in Igbo and Ikwerre

1 = Otu(Igbo), Otu(Ikwerre)

2 = Abuo(Igbo), Ebo(Ikwerre)

3 = Ato(Igbo), Eto(Ikwerre)

4 = Ano(Igbo), Eno(Ikwerre

5 = Ise(Igbo), Ise(Ikwerre)

6 = Isii or Ishii(Igbo), Isiinu or Ishiinu(Ikwerre)

7 = Asaa(Igbo), Esaawu(Ikwerre)

8 = Asato(Igbo), Esato(Ikwerre)

9 = Itolu(Igbo), Tolu(Ikwerre)

10 = Iri(Igbo), Ri(Ikwerre)

Any similarities?

I don't understand your intent. Ikwerre's say they are not igbo now, respect them please. Its not by force. Or what do they add to you if they become igbo?

I have two comments to make.
1. What is a juicy position in government? I think this statement shows that we need to reflect on the state and acceptance of corruption in this country.

2. I was young in the 90s when Marwa was the governor then, he seemed to be very good. He brought the keke marwa to lagos and was celebrated. Lagos has always had great leaders. Every governor played a part in this and not just BAT.

Aufbauh:
Wike's Presidency will be purportedly the return of a shadowy military dictatorship.
The worst of it is that, he's notorious for interfering & compromising the judicial process.

What do we Nigerians want? A cultist gets sick all of a sudden in court but a Governor with balls is taking him head on, still we complain. I ask again, what do we want?

While we have not fully recovered from the train incident where a victim used twitter to raise alarm, this girl plays a prank with same twitter. What is her intent? She must be severely dealt with and serve as a deterrent to others.
