You all wan mek me stot again o!

I tell ya....

Only in yorubaland will they allow these sub-humans to act as the pork in which they reject. Aboki dan Osama.

Goodnews.They should leave. I would respect them for that unlike the Igbo politicians in the group who are always willing to piggy-back ride off of PDP instead of standing their own ground. I hope it would end here. Let the party collapse completely unless they start detaching themselves from PDP.

[size=18pt]Merger: We are ready to join ACN/CPC talks -APGA[/size]


Written by Hassan Ibrahim, Kaduna Friday, 15 June 2012







The All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) in the North-West zone has declared its readiness to join the proposed merger of the Action Congress of Nigeria(ACN) and the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) so as to wrest power from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The National Secretary of the party, Alhaji Sani Abdullahi Shinkafi, told newsmen in Kaduna at the end of an emergency meeting of APGA's National Working Committee from the Northern States and FCT on Thursday that as progressives, they would accept the invitation to be part of a coalition of parties that would take Nigeria to greater heights.

The meeting, which was attended by members of APGA and state chairmen from the 19 Northern States and Abuja, discussed the state of affairs of the party and reviewed current national issues as they affect members and the country.

Alhaji Shinkafi said: “The officers hailed the dogged and resilient defence of the party in all the various litigations instituted against the party by the former chairman, Chief Chekwas Okorie, and expressed happiness that the present leadership won in all the litigations, including at the Supreme Court, paving the way for Chief Okorie’s final exit from the party.

“They commended the national leadership of the party for successfully challenging the attempted cloning of the party by the former chairman when he tried to register United Grand Alliance (UPGA).

“They also commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for rejecting the registration of UPGA as it would have created confusion among the electorate.”

“They expressed shock that a purported South-East Stakeholders Meeting of our party called outside the provisions of the constitution of APGA purportedly issued directives to the national executive committee of the party. The manner of that action tried to portray APGA as a South- East party rather than the national party that it is. We condemn that action and advise that decisions for the party should be made by the organs of the party recognised by the party’s constitution.”

Mr. Globe:
APGA never compared themselves to Tinubu business group ACN or Buhari's family support program CPC. Mgbeke woman

Roflmao!

souldust: you people are not getting me correctly. I got this aggressive only when chzy rejected in an aggressive manner my explanation that we and igbos have common names becos we live close to each other and as neighbours, are bound to copy certain things over time and that that does not mean in any form of measure that we are a faction of the igbos or are related by "blood" as he puts it. He even said his backed up his claim with facts, but i seem to be the only one who has backed up my claim with facts. I even refered you to a website

david mark is known not for wearing igbo cap but as an ex service, and senate president. As regards his attire, it is true that he sometimes wears the red cap, which is not uniquely igbo becos gov kwankwanso and other hausas also wears it, but most times and i repeat most times he puts on the cap that his fellow northerners put on. From now on, you can observe him when you see him on tv.

I see someone is shamelessly changing their story,continue. I laugh at the comment that david mark most times puts on the cap that his fellow northerners do. Not true and we all know it. Even if you google him today you will see him wearing an Igbo cap. Seldom do you ever see him wearing anything else so stop fooling yourself. We know who david mark is.

poweredcom: Chyz you are a very wicked nigerian who has a blackmind and a blind tribalist God will punish your generation for saying idomas killed igbos and their greatest achievement is tuface and david mark its a shame that you hate your fellow brothers bastard you must be

Let me ask you was the biafra war against idomas and biafra or ,Nigeria and biafra just because boundary adjustment cut from ogoja to be nigeria and you sayin idoma is a non entity you are an eeediot ,so your language is the best abi and name any naija artist who don't use any other language to sing,even ruggedman speaks yoruba fluently its just because you mind set is too ibotic,look I live with igbos and I like them I grew among igbos and they like me and we have helped so many igbo family friend who cannot even get help from their igbos kinsmen ,I don't know why igbos are like dat they hate demselves anambra hates ngwa ,owerri no dey agree with mbaise
But I must say idomas and igalas may be small but love is there within kinsmen

Let me stop here

Searching but can't see where chyz* said idoma did or didn't kill Igbos during the Biafra War. Im not the one who said we'rent brothers or related, that was your Idoma brother, souldust. In fact, i doubt he's a real idoma by his words or maybe he just hates himself. The achievement think I mentioned is true. Sorry about that but it is what it is. RUgged man still speaks his native language IGBO throughout, unlike 2face. You say love is there between Idoma but the Igede say they no be Idoma,lol.Lets not mention Igala because I never mentioned them in the first place. One thing that you cant mistake is that Igbos love their brothers, we may argue, but we always come together. It is a fact that all of nigerians and non-nigerians know and it is a characteristic that Europeans have writtened down and acknowleged themselves. Any way, Igbos don't hate Idoma, at all so don't take what im saying as "igbos hate idoma". This is just my words.

Roflmoa!

The Buhari of Delta State. Just give it a rest dude.

souldust: @chyz. As much as you do not like it, idoma have never been and will never be igbos.
If you feel so hurt about that great and glorious truth, you can as well commit suicide! You will be doing the world a great good by getting rid of yourself. At least the number of people who can feel so hurt by truth will be reduced by one. And the world cannot wait to see the rest of your like to be smoked into extinction by your rebellion against truth.

I will leave you now to talk to the air like the m.a.d man that you are cos i've got no time for a backward child like you.

I'm still trying to find where I said Idoma are Igbo. Maybe you can help me find it because I don't see it and cannot recall ever typing such thing. The idoma are non-entities,meaning no one knows or cares about them. In fact like Abagworo said, your highest achievements are David Mark and 2face. Very sad. In fact david mark is known for wearing an Igbo cap while 2face is known to speak yoruba in his music instead of his embarrassing native language of Idoma. Remember the your are speaking to Ndi Igbo. Your people can never compare with us in any way so know your boundary and know it well. The Tiv are subduing you in your own state and they speak proudly of it. The Igbo are eating your people up and there is nothing you can do about it. No need to claim you,son. You speak with sentiment only, I speak with facts. Learn Hisory of Idoma people. It will do you some good.

Juat another ghanaian communal clash. Dont see what this has to do with nigeria. Hmph.

Onlytruth: I really will like someone to show me a weblink where Amaechi denied being Igbo. It would really help those of us outside the country to know the truth.


I once thought that an Amaechi ticket is coming and I'm not surprised at this news.
If Amaechi is a failed leader, I would understand too.
Any proofs he failed, or that he denied being Igbo?
Thanks bros.

There's a reason why I said "appears".

souldust: @chyz* you can visit the website idomausa.org and find out about my people. As for your 'when you see them you know'; black people look not too diff. If you see the hausa man who is not puting on his babriga but english or igbo wear, you will think he is igbo. Thats how it is also when an igbo man puts on babariga, he looks immediately like the hausa. So pls understand it.

Igalas and yorubas are not the same just as idomas and igbos are not related. The closest to the igalas are the idomas that can be seen not only in names, but also religious rites and rituals. The chants we chant in our religious ceremonies are actually in igala.

Someone said there are similarities b/w igala names and igbo names. But i cant see any similarity really. Is it Arome, Enejo, Ele, Idoko, Ojonugwa, Chenemi, Omele or which name really is similar with igbo.

Pls lets stop inventing what is not and will never be real and focus on thigs more important.

Obviously you know nothing about the Idoma or its history. I blame your father and your lack of common sense. Your above comment has to be THE dumbest comment on this thread till date.

Kobojunkie: https://png-3.findicons.com/files//icons/1039/manto/128/scared.png

Are we serious about celebrating this nonsense?

It's how they start their "good samaritan" propaganda. Thw same thing they did with Abiola. The terrorist will be branded as heroes for no other reason than them being yoruba.

If Amaechi tries it he will be disgraced. Imagine him coming to SE trying to campaign to people he appears to deny. Failed ticket.

We all know this. He was no different from the other elites.

Oh pish posh! (chyz* rolls eyes)

Billyonaire: You guys are talking about monopoly has if the government is discouraging you from investing in the sector. Nigeria has so many raw areas to invest in, Steel manufacturing, tar production, Rock Quarries, etc. You guys should stop being internet critics, stand up and learn some skills that will catapult the nation.

How about learning about who owns what in Nigeria before you open your mouth. Steel is already monopolized by OBJ's boy Adenuga. You cannot compete with these people. They will just flush you out immediately,even if it means by death. I like your good word though but these monopolies only kill ideas and plummet the economy which is why there is no middle class in nigeria.

Good. I hope the problems continue.Maybe these tribalistic bastards will finally allow Enugu Airport finally become a real international airport.

goldng: Yet the price of cement keeps increasing

And it will keep increasing because he has no competition and now Jonadumb has put the icing on the cake stopping any little chances of competition that would help prices decrease.

Retardee has further sold nigeria economically into the hands of one man, Dangote. What president with a brain would give membership to a monopolist into his National Economic Management Team? Oh I almost forgot Jonadumb has no brain.

ALthough I don't respect Obi,especially because he is unmanly, bringing in ethnicity was a smart way in blocking el rufai's obvious attempt into making incursions into the SE for is cpc/acn political jobbers.

chino11: GBAM

Elrufai knows that if Anambra is down, then Igbo nation is down. Elrufai knows exactly what he is doing, he knows where to start if he wants to disunite the Igbos. But he has failed, Peter Rock Obi is not like every other Nigerian politician. I read the Thisday where Obi was ranked among the 10 best performing governors in Nigeria. Its a feat.

Stop smokin, stay in school.

I don't believe this. You can't be serious. Please, I need to know this isn't true

[size=13pt]El Rufai On Anambra Budget: A Follow Up[/size]

Published on Sunday, 10 June 2012 00:52

Written by Benjamin Obiajulu Aduba






I have read Mr. El Rufai's analysis of the 2012 Anambra state budget just as I have read most of his other states' analysis. I must admit that I agree with the thesis of his analysis. Many states have put emphasis where it can only be characterized as misplaced. Anambra is probably another one of those states. I am surprised that this state

comes in where statistics have placed it, much below expectations. But upon a second thought I see how that would be so. I am also surprised by attitude that only Anambra people should comment on Anambra budget. I will now join Mr. El Rufai in interfering in Anambra's domestic affairs. If the issue is economics I have a reputation for this interference. I have interfered in India's, China's, British, Lagos's and other states economic policies. I feel I have a right to analyze public policy any where. When I am arrested and sentenced for domestic interference I will do the time. My approach to Mr. El Rufai's position is to support it and then based on my intimate knowledge of Anambra to try to explain why things are as they are.

High Poverty Level in Anambra: I was surprised by this statistics, but it is easy to see how this would be:

1. Anambra has one of the poorest farm lands in the nation. It also has the least of the land mass compared to the population. Any piece of land is bound to be over used. As the land is used over and over again the yield becomes less and less. When the land is also overwhelmed by erosion (which is related to land over use) the disaster is expected. This state will in the foreseeable future be agriculture and food production poor. This is true of Anambra and Imo.

2. Another reason for the state's poverty can be explained by the fact that a good portion of its wealth is not visible in the over the table business activity but in what I would describe as underworld economy. Anambra indigenes are scattered around Nigeria and the world. These sons and daughters of Anambra pursue their economic activities outside Anambra and generally remit huge sums of money to their parents and relatives back home. These remittances are not often reflected in above ground economics. What I am trying to prove is while the rational economics might indicate poverty the living standards of Anambra is likely to be one of the highest of any Nigerian state. A way to measure this is by observing the residences of the old men and women still in the state. An observer would see expansive residences barely occupied or usually occupied by people with out visible income (the income is from remittances from abroad).

3. The third surprising statistic is on adult education. I make bold to say that Anambra, Imo and Ekiti would record the highest percentage of educated Nigerians. But these state numbers are not reflected in the numbers Mr. El Rufai sited. They are not reflected because the educated invariably migrate to Lagos, Abuja, Enugu, USA and any place under the sun. When we talk of the high presence of Igbo in other states and countries, what is being discussed is really about Anambra and Imo (and Ekiti). They are the people who live in any place but in their place of birth. So the gains of Enugu are the losses of Anambra. Anambra's greatest challenge is emigration. Unfortunately it is nearly impossible to reverse because of item 2 above. Little agricultural land and low agricultural production. "Man must wack."

4. Anambra was fingered as a high crime area due to kidnapping. Mr. El Rufai suggests that this has made investment much more difficult. There is possibly a connection, but I doubt that it has as much impact as suggested. There is no doubt that it has not helped. One reason for this crime rate has to do with what I alluded to in item 3: high emigration rate. One is tempted to believe that the young people who now leave in Anambra are those still trapped in the state. They are people who are waiting for their brothers, uncles, sisters, etc. to make it elsewhere and to come back to fetch them. It is a uniquely Anambra propensity. They are the most family oriented people in the nation. An Anambra man/woman goes to Lagos as a trader, the moment he needs an assistant he would be back in Nnewi to take his younger brother or sister and this will continue until all his siblings, their cousins, etc. have been whisked out of Nnewi. Those who have not been able to escape; unable to farm; unable to start their own business; but would want to be like the rest of their countrymen are attracted to crime.

5. To put all the above points together we have a state that has a highly educated population that have left the state (brain drain); a state that has a highly enterprising population that has pursued their ambition elsewhere (economic and capital drain); a state that has billions of dollars/naira coming into the state but is not felt in the economic reports (underground economy). It is a coming together of strange things to the detriment of Anambra.

6. There is a point that El Rufai made that I strongly disagree with and this is his assessment of Mr. Obi's governance performance. Mr. Obi has performed admirably given his circumstance. When Mr. El Rufai praises Mr. Ngige's "stellar performance" and makes Mr. Obi look as if he is under performing he fails to place the blame where it belongs. Mr. Ngige and the PDP have full responsibility for Mr. Obi's performance or rather the lack thereof. Mr. Obi spent 3 years fighting Mr. Ngige's usurpation of Anambra government and when he won he immediately faced a House that is 100% PDP. He did not have an APGA member in the House. The result was that even getting a budget through was for the most part impossible or loaded with all kinds of handicaps. Where in the world has an executive faced such unwelcome challenge? Once sworn in he faced impeachment after impeachment threat. He hardly had any time to become the governor. After a mere one year he had to deal with election and he went back to court to re-earn his terms. Mr. Obi has been in court for more times than any repeat offender that I know. Just to be able to govern. I rate Mr. Obi as belonging to the top tier of performing governors. His fellow governors think the same which explains why he is always elected to the executive position among his peers.

Mr. El Rufai points to areas where more attention should be directed. I completely agree with his points. Agriculture should be the number one priority of any state and Federal Government in Nigeria. You must feed the people before you can get anything accomplished. A hungry man is an angry man. A state cannot rely on handouts, be it from the federal government or other wise. Internally generated funds (IGF) must be the focus of every state government. For it is with IGF that the liberty to pursue any agenda that the state wants originates. It is in pursuit of INF that unemployment would be best tackled. Agriculture is a mass employer, exploiting natural resources would bring jobs to the state and generate funds, small scale industries such as bicycle manufacturing, for example, could be started with smaller capital than most major industrial manufacturing. There are many crafts that are ingenious to Anambra that have been allowed to die off such as carving but which would attract significant markets.

With jobs available at home the major challenge of emigration would be curtailed and Anambra might start to regain its losses.

Obi has to be the most embarrassing SE governor out. I have never seen any governor in the whole of nigeria kiss as much federal azz as Obi, Jonathan's azz in particular. Its sad how he tries to use his people(Ndigbo)as a defense mechanism against facts that he can't dispute. How lame.

He must be talking about SE Asia. I laugh. Rochas will be running for president so how would he supporrt jonathan's selfish ambition. Everyone in the SE wants Igbo presidency so jonathan should just have a seat and not waste his time. He did not give Ojukwu a befitting burial, we Igbos did. If he tries to rig na wa for his life. He go end up like Ghaddafi.

Dtwoabbey: you must be out of ur senses. Person with good mental will not be talking to a great tribe like dat. Ori awon agba agba yoruba yoo maa da o lejo lati akoko yi lo. Aseeeeeee gun un un un un.

Great what? who in nigeria even respects you. People even punk you on your own land, continuously. Stop tooting your own horn. Lol... "awon gbati gbati mo tu rimi olodu gba gba Lmao!

Kolababa: Some utterances here make me remember my neighbour's son, Victor who hails from Anambra. Whenever he wants to wake his papa up in the morning, he will use his left leg to kick his father say "papa, wake up now o".
SO I WONT BE SURPRISE IF THE KINSMEN OF THAT BASTARD OPEN HIS MOUTH TO ABUSE THE YORUBAS HERE.
OMO TI O NIRAN.

omo ti gbati gbati orun femi timi to pepe. Oh shut that gorilla sounding shyt up.

Wow! Talk about hypocrisy,lol! Na wa for yoruba people o! Lmao!
