NwaJozi:
Willie is a scam! Pity no credible candidate is running against him so he might win but he is scam
The fact is that many things worked in his favour. The chief among them is Mr Peter Obi coming out again to contest and hijack PDP. The second is that Anambra North has only 4 years remaining in their turn and none of the other contenders from there can keep to it. The third, is that he, Chief Obiano has performed above average and had a clear vision which Obi lacked. He adopted measures that reduced poverty in the state despite the recession. There was more money circulating in the state from the prompt payment of salaries to civil servants and appointment of close to a thousand aides, that alone had ripple effects in that aspect. The fourth is that he is a peacemaker, he has basically united the different interest groups in the state and has built a remarkable investor confidence for the state. And he is ambitious in his projects, take for instance that airport project and the bridges he redesigned to capture a futuristic models.
Although, he has not spread community road projects as his predecessors but he is just 3½ years there. Except for the roads done by Mrs Virgy Etiaba, Obi did no roads in his first 4 years.
Obiano will win the 2nd tenure but I would like him to round up his campaigns by itemizing clearly the things he will do in his 2nd 4 years particularly roads and I also expect that he will put up some signature projects, special intervention projects in the education sectors ( (Architectural master pieces at the State University, school of Agric and selected model secondary schools, possibly employ more teachers) and attracting more industries.

Politics / Re: Breaking!!!... Has Dr Ibeh Kachikwu Resigned? by Cuche: 2:24pm On Oct 10, 2017
They may likely force him to remain there as ceremonial Junior Minister. Haven't you seen where somebody's resignation was rejected and armed men follow the person to work and back with minute by minute update to the Boss on the activities. It was a common phenomenon among African dictators before the advent of Democracy.

Politics / Re: Dividing Anambra Through Zoning System. The Unconstitutional Political Principl by Cuche: 2:04pm On Oct 10, 2017
I am in total support of Zoning. I will not vote anybody that is not from Anambra North.
Zoning is not in the Nigerian constitution, It is a gentleman agreement within political parties. Anambra North has 4 years remaining to complete their turn, I doubt if any new guy like Obaze or Nwoye will keep to it, this is one of the reasons people from South zone who can't wait for their 8 years which begins in 4 years time to come, may not want a new man. It is obvious Mr Obi has hatched a scheme which is now working against him and his anointed candidate, I don't believe Mr Obaze will rule for only 4 years, It is most unlikely.

Whether the man elected (selected) from the preferred zone delivers or not shouldn't be our concern. All we should care is that Zone A or Zone B has its 8 years share at the top, at the end the zone steers clear for others.
Besides, a leader including Gen Buhari, is programmed to succeed if the necessary support, good advice and goodwill is accorded from all the zones. Any politician promoting the idea that Saints can come from only an area and continue to rule a people as diverse as we are, is a crook one should be wary of. No zone should be neglected not only in Anambra but in all elective positions in Africa at least for now.

Zoning is the best solution to cries of marginalization. Mr Muoneme Esq. should please tell his towns man Chief Osita Chidoka to wait for the turn of Anambra Central. I don't care about the ulterior motive Mr Obi had with the introduction of zoning, Anambra and Nigeria is not yet ripe for the system where only the politically privileged zone rules for eternity. In Town Unions, zoning of President- General helps greatly in giving a sense of belonging to all.
Politics / Re: Anambra Gubernatorial Candidate Oseloka Henry Obaze Has A Mental Disorder by Cuche: 12:56pm On Oct 10, 2017

Looking at how most politicians act. How they loot. Would we say they are normal?
That is not even the criterion. Every man black or white has the tendency to loot without restraints. It takes extra discipline to suppress that nature.

When somebody wakes up every morning to drink a shot of fresh human blood, eat faeces, must sleep with a teenage boy or girl, eat dry human meat every alternate day, the reason for the surge in dealers on human meat, and must be escorted to a corner of the lodge at the dead of the nights at regular times to salute a stone tied with red cloths, all because he believed those actions would protect him on the seat. These are the real mental illness and most of our politicians are suffering from the advanced forms of the madness.
Politics / Re: Anambra Gubernatorial Candidate Oseloka Henry Obaze Has A Mental Disorder by Cuche: 12:42pm On Oct 10, 2017
So much political undertones in the write up. It looked like the one they wrote on Mr Ambode then. This sponsored smear campaign is from PDP members within the state who are angry that Mr Obi who is less than 40 months old in the Party will hijack and be dictating the how they should run the party. They are the greatest obstacle to Obaze. Another group mainly from Central and South, that are opposing the idea of an entirely new person believes it will amount to a fresh 8 years for Anambra North bringing the total to 12 years. Whereas, the zoning allows for 8 years only.


But I don't see any of the other candidates defeating Obiano in a free election, he is not perfect as a leader but his leadership has united the State, got a pass mark in pensioners and workers welfare, a pass mark in projects too although it was not evenly distributed, Agriculture and Investor's confidence is high as well.
The surprise defeat can only come if there is a gang up with the Abuja Cabals to force results upon INEC because for sure the turnout will be low because of the IPOB sentiments.

If he doesn't want to cooperate with or serve the Cabal fully, he should step aside. Lauretta Onochie will replace him as Minister of State for Petroleum. From the little I know about Ms Onochie, she will not write any nonsense memo against her Masters.

SnowJay92:


Bro this thing you're doing is a very bad attempt at image laundering, why cite Ngige? you're probably among those shouting Ngige up and down, if I ask you to mention any major road that actually carries traffic constructed under him now, you'd come up with nothing. why not talk about the roads constructed by the present government, have they even done any? Go an see the lacklustre attempts by Obiano in just trying to repair failing portions of already existing roads, I don't like Peter Obi anymore than you do, and his latest attempt at godfatherism is not welcome, but Willie had better sit up, if you blame substandard construction for this particular incident, what would you blame for the similar occurrence at Amawbia, the one that caved in at ring road or the one at Obosi and a dozen other places in the state?
I share in your sentiments, Obiano should set a target of how many Kms of roads he will deliver and say it publicly. So far He has not done much on roads and in his 2nd tenure he should locate RCC, Setraco, CCC and Interbeau. We can't afford Julius Berger but these other companies can still deliver good jobs especially for roads with strategic importance.

I also want you to know that the company I worked with then is still being used by Obiano till date to do projects, infact the last time I visited Awka to see my former colleagues, we where at an event where Obiano gave an express order to my friend to commence a road construction of a popular hotel in Awka, then the question is why is Obiano still using the company since its nameless and belongs to Peter Obi??
I guess you mean CAC or this Company belonging to Nath Okechukwu. I have no doubt that the companies can do a good job if paid the right way. First, most of the projects Obiano inherited from Obi were contracted out to these coys. And mobilizations were paid out, Obiano did what every reasonable person will do, by meeting with the coys to discuss the terms of the projects and review where necessary. Do you know that the flyover bridges were redesigned or modified to what it is today? You need to see the outdated thing it was in the initial design.
I decided not to blame the contractors that much when it was revealed that they were made to sign say 2 billion for a project and compelled to work with only half the sum and hold the remaining in trust for the man. So you don't expect the Contractor to do magic under such conditions. Now, this is the major cause of roads failing within a year.
I would have said more but since you are not from Anambra and you have other biases arising from the fact that you worked for a Coy loyal to Mr Obi.

I want to say this without fear or favour or any form of sentiment, I was working In a construction company during the time of Peter Obi and I must say I will give him a pass mark. Of a truth he really did well for the people of Anambra that I became envious ( as am from IMO state) there are some I did under his direct supervision and he is very strict, disciplined and a good financial manager, there are times Peter Obi visited the sites to come and check the work being done without any form of notification, he sometimes takes everybody unawares in terms of project supervision.
Also I will say there were some measures he introduced to ensure that quality projects are delivered to the people of Anambra. First he made sure that site engineers submit their certificates to the Ministry of Works, Awka, that way the engineers try to be as professional as possible and are very cautious because their certificates are at stake.
Secondly there are processes before payments are made for works done, when the contractor does work to a certain extent, they build their certificates which is subject to the verification and approval by Ministry of works before payments are made.
Also I remember vividly some contracts when he awarded them, he called the attention of the communities so that they too will be involved in the supervision of their roads, telling them to report immediately they notice anything unusual in the course of constructing the road. I know a lot of contractors he withheld their payments (even my own company) for jobs not properly done. He tried to get the Ministry of works to be actively involved in the supervison of the project and they are the ones that will authorise your payments, with these I will say I give it to him, though there will be some exceptions and lapses.
Anambrarians, without sentiment you people are lucky to have a person like Peter obi as a governor, till date I still borrow some of his managerial skills and initiatives in my personal dealing and it has yielded great results, his a man I admire so much.
I didn't know Mr Peter Obi did all these painstaking supervision yet his projects were the worst in terms of design and consultancy, strength of the materials used and finishes. Can you explain why the evidence of the poor jobs are all over the place?
Apart from Mbadinuju who did nothing, no other Governor had more of his road projects failing within a year of construction than Mr Peter. Do you know that some roads done by Jim Nwobodo over 35 years ago are still standing?
The evidence of a good job is in its ability to stand the test of time and not in eye service supervision.

Politics / Re: Ebenator Erosion Gully In Anambra Now A Death Trap by Cuche: 7:14pm On Sep 28, 2017
The only long lasting if not permanent solution to erosion control in States with topography like Ours is to embark on Central Channels running across the state.


Such Central Channel should be at least 10 feet deep and 20 feet wide running the required Km to a natural collector. The Consultancy services will after the studies give a picture of the arms/levels such Channels will run. For Anambra 50-60 kms of a Y shaped drainage will cut across the unstable areas beginning from Awka while communities (through tax /donations) links smaller drainages from their towns to the Medium Channels which should be undertaken by the LGAs, the Medium Channels terminates in the Central Channels.
This kind of Project is Multi -billion and I don't expect States with myriads of problems begging for attention to embark on such except successive Governments will have the understanding do it piece by piece.
All the remedial landfilling and concrete slabs by Erosion Agencies are just very temporary. Block the flood-erosion here, it finds another route in another town with more fury and devastations.

I think Mr Peter Obi needs a break from Politics and from Nigeria.
If he had kept his word to resign from Politics after his 8 years tenure he won't be running from pillar to post looking for interviews to grant. The truth be told here, it will be difficult for him to unseat Obiano who has performed above average. The alliances they need to remove Gov Willie is more than just Obaze/Onyemelukwe.
To even get PDP stalwarts in the State to accept that Peter an outlier who joined them about 3 years ago will be dictating the tunes of the party is a herculean task. Most of them I know will work against Mr Obi and his preferred candidate for outsmarting them over the years.

The next Governor after the remaining four years of Anambra North should be from South Senatorial Zone and if Uba plays his cards well he may have a fair playing ground in APGA. If by that time the South Senatorial zone and APGA thinks Uba is the best they can offer Anambra so be it. Governorship seat should be rotated among the zones every 8 years and the political parties must consider that in making choice of candidates.

The matter has been resolved. The group that issued the notice has withdrawn it.
It is good that the North is preaching peace and unity at the moment. From all indications they want Buhari to succeed and knowing fully that with troubles everywhere there is limits to which he can achieve anything meaningful.
If Buhari is removed for any unforseen reasons and is replaced by a Southerner will they still preach peace or go on a killing spree of Igbos and Southerners in their territory. If 2019 comes and Nigerians vote against APC will they look for their successful Igbo neighbours to waste while the Northern dominated Armed forces look the other way. People like Ango Abdullahi have spoken more hate speech than I have seen of men of his age and nobody has called him out for it, the military has never danced close to his residence. Arewa youths, although, they retracted their statements to give peace a chance seem to be interested in the perpetuity of Northern rulership more than the issues that highlights our disunity. For instance, they have not asked questions about the grossly lopsided appointments by President Buhari and the dearth of Federal presence in the South East. A tripod with one of the legs longer than the other two cannot stand, in this administration one leg is miles longer and that among other things is the cause of the disunity.
If the North can still preach peace given such circumstances that they want others to endure without voicing out, then we have a united Nigeria.

If I were Obiano I will find a way of giving Mr Obi his money @ 500 million monthly in 14 months, I will be done and over with that. Obiano should be honourable enough to settle him though we all know the expenditures for that 2013 campaign were from the State purse and not Mr Obi's personal money.

Ichietome:
The truth is, Anambra state will attract a whole lot of unprecedented economic growth and general development if the government will turn it's attention towards Nnewi town.

Massive infrastructural investments in Nnewi are what the government needs to do.
-dualize the major roads, construct a flyover, repair the deteriorating roads, finish the shopping mall,restructure and invest in Nkwo Nnewi.

Anambra state needs an airport situated at Nnewi if it is to attain great economic heights.

Anambra needs Nnewi in order to achieve unimaginable economic development.
Sadly, successive state government administration's have conveniently ignored this.

It is a pity!
Obiano didn't do much on road infrastructure in Anambra Central and South, it is not only Nnewi problem. Since, he's postured that timely opening up of Anambra East/West is the key to Anambra future, which is understandable giving the Oil and gas, flat farming grade soils, and flat land for the Airport city. I expected him to also touch a few economically important roads in the other Senatorial Zones while attending to the hitherto neglected Anambra North.

A state like Lagos needs borrowing for massive infrastructural development, and I believe you and I can witness the dividend of well spent (debt) on infrastructure, it's also possible that some states may have borrowed less cos they don't really know what they can spend money on that will better the live of their people and even generate more IGR for their state. Thumbs up Lagos State, we all know the in coming years the IGR will be triple.
Lagos State is capable of servicing its debt but what some of us are searching for are the infrastructure where the loans were spent on. From what I know heavy projects like Eko Atlantic, Dangote Refinery even Banana Island are privately engineered, I know the loans Dangote and the rest took from EXIM Banks are not among the $$Billions Lagos is indebted to. What the private sectors need from Lagos Government as it stands is just neat roads and probably regulations. Do we have the roads that justify such "monstrous" debt? Maybe a km of road in Lagos costs N5 Billion.

Politics / Re: Anambra State To Dualize Major Roads In The State by Cuche: 7:51pm On Sep 17, 2017
globemoney:

Have you read todays Sun Newspaper? This article might interest you!

Something is fundamentally wrong in the camp of my immediate past governor, Chief Peter Gregory Obi, CON. In response to my article on the back page of The Sun of September 1, 2017 objecting to the determination of the ex-governor to serve a third term by using his secretary to the state government, Oseloka Obaze, as a decoy candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the forthcoming gubernatorial election on November 18, both Obi and his media assistant, Val Obienye, wrote on the back page of the same paper on September 7 that I do not exist and that my name was manufactured by agents of Governor Willie Obiano. Yet, my picture was printed boldly in the publication.

How my erstwhile governor and his team could boldly make this assertion without any sense of embarrassment is revealing. They are grappling with what psychologists call projection, that is, they ascribe to other persons what they do secretly on the assumption that others do it. According to Chief Uche Ezechukwu, a veteran journalist and author, Val Obienye had over 10 email addresses with all manner of aliases, which he manufactured when he was Obi’s media aide and used them to abuse his principal’s numerous critics. For Obi and Obienye to claim that I don’t exist just because they want to embarrass Gov Obiano is worrisome. I was until last year a manager with Keystone Bank, having headed First City Monument Bank in Ihiala, Anambra State; my private firm is involved with SABMiller, in which the ex-governor has enormous interest.

I can now understand the mindset of someone who announced repeatedly that he would quit politics after eight years as governor, only to seek to become President Goodluck Jonathan’s Minister of Aviation, but lost to the much younger Chief Osita Chidoka. I can understand the mindset of someone who instead of being in retirement in Onitsha, as he pledged and received a great applause, is fighting dedicatedly to enthrone a wimp as my governor. I now understand the mindset of someone who left only N13bn in the treasury for an incoming governor, but announced a stunning N75bn just to earn public plaudits and besmirch the character of the very person he chose as successor.

I now understand the mindset of someone who did not employ even one teacher or civil servant for the eight years he was governor, but employed a whole 6,000 on the eve of his departure, in the expectation that his successor would not be able to pay them, thereby earning him public ignominy. Ndi Anambra are delighted that not only did Obiano retain all new employees, they are among the thousands of workers whose salaries were increased across the board by 15% by Obiano two years ago and they earn their pay before other government employees throughout Nigeria.

I also understand the mindset of an ex-governor whose state teaching hospital could not earn the accreditation of the Nigerian Dental and Medical Council for nine years but is today not only accredited but also training medical consultants in various fields, thanks to Obiano who provided funds for the hospital to hire well qualified people and procure the right facilities. I understand the mindset of an ex-governor who did not pay retired workers of the state’s print and electronic media their gratuities and pensions for eight years, but all those who retired since the state was created in August 1991 have now received their entitlements, thanks to Obiano.

It is instructive that Gov Obi is complaining that he has not received his pension since he left office. While Ndi Anambra may not know the whole truth about this claim, it is pertinent to ask the ex-governor: did you pay your predecessor, Dr Chris Ngige, even a kobo of his entitlements for the eight years you were in office? Did you pay Ngige’s predecessor, Dr Chinwoke Mbadinuju? Let us turn to a more pathetic case. Did Peter Obi pay the salary of any employee of the state water corporation for even a month throughout the eight years he was in office? Was it not Gov Obiano who cleared the N1.9bn the water corporation’s staff members were owed in salaries? Has Gov Aregbesola of Osun State owed his workers this long, yet everyone is calling for his head?

Here is a bit about my brother-in-law, Mr Pius Nwabugwu, a top employee of the water corporation. A 1972 Geology graduate of the University of Ibadan, Mr Nwabugwu joined the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), the same day as his classmate, Mr Jackson Gaius-Obaseki, who was to become the NNPC Group Managing Director under President Olusegun Obasanjo. But he left early to return to Igboland to join in its rehabilitation after the civil war, and so joined the water corporation. In recognition of his brilliance and dedication to duty, Chukwuma Okoye, the literary scholar who was Jim Nwobodo’s Commissioner for Public Utilities in old Anambra State, sent Mr Nwabugwu to the United Kingdom to do a Master’s programme in Geology. To cut a long story short, Mr Nwabugwu died in 2010 when Peter Obi was Anambra State governor without receiving gratuity or pension or salary for years. He and his family suffered and suffered and suffered until Obiano became governor and cleared years of unpaid salaries and pension.

Obi will make a rewarding study to psychologists. Even when he is caught with his hand in the cookie jar, he will deny it so strongly and swear in the name of God that he never did it. This was precisely what he did when he claimed publicly that he had paid for the 130 roads he flagged off as he was about to leave office in 2014. Peter Obi was claiming, in effect, that he had paid fully for roads, which were at between 1% and 10% completion stages! When his attention was drawn to the bizarre nature of the claim, he edited himself to say that he meant that he provided enough funds for the payment. And when he was confronted with the cold fact that he did not leave N75bn in banks for his successor, he said that he meant “cash and investments”! The investments include the N100m, which Dr Ngige made in Orient Petroleum set up by Dr Mbadinuju. They include Anambra State government’s shares in Nigercem at Nkalagu, which it inherited from the defunct Eastern Nigerian Region, though the firm has not operated for decades!

Who has forgotten how Peter Obi proudly told the audience in Lagos last May at a lecture how he had been wearing just one watch for 13 years, only to be shown pictures of him wearing various watches at public functions in recent months? Who has forgotten how Obi publicly swore that he would never abandon the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), only to jump ship unexpectedly and joined the then ruling PDP which provoked millions of Ndi Anambra into dumping Obi’s Hero beer in favour of Life by the Nigerian Breweries, thus affecting my personal business?

Obi says that by singlehandedly picking Oseloka Obaze to become a governor he is not looking for a weakling. But he cannot allow Obaze to choose his own running mate. He chose his loyal Chief of Staff and Commissioner for Economic Planning, Stella Okuna, but the academic refused for fear of losing both her current job and the election. Obi, according to media reports, has been tapping on Dr Alex Ekwueme’s first daughter, Mrs Chidi Onyemelukwe. Ironically, there is nothing derogatory that the Peter Obi Campaign Organisation did not write against the venerable former vice president in 2010 when the elder statesman endorsed ex-Central Bank governor Chukwuma Soludo who was the PDP governorship candidate.

My former governor must know that principle pays. He must know that hypocrisy and deception are terrible vices.
I don't like Mr Peter Obi one bit. He is such a dishonest fellow.
The author of the article forgot to mention the people who utilized the window period to return PDP and Dasuki share to avoid embarrassment.
Obiano has performed above average and he is systematic in his approach to governance. He is not good at politics but as an administrator he has laudable programs. It was very clear from the onset that Obi didn't want him to succeed that much. Obi only cared for the 'saintly' name he portrayed to the masses. I was pleased that Obiano didn't go about portraying himself as a frugal Saint and overtly pius man, who is working for "the future of our children" yet he is at peace with most top shots in the State not minding the party divide.

Politics / Re: ANAMBRA ELECTION 2017: Vote Monetocracy Or Meritocracy. by Cuche: 6:21pm On Sep 16, 2017
Anambra stakeholders adopted zoning in other not to marginalize any part of the State in the scheme of things. It is the moral thing to do.
Anambra North has 8 years and I think the political parties understand that. The honourable thing for Mr Chidoka to do is pitch tent with any candidate of his choice from that zone viz Obiano, Obaze or Nwoye. He may get compensated while he waits for the turn of Anambra Central which by the way has had a long run of 11 years from 2003.
Lets do the proper things and minimize discontentment amongs the zones.
I will not vote anybody outside Anambra North no matter the presentability (referring to Mr Chidoka, who is a fair option). If Anambra North says those three are their best candidates we should queue behind any of those.

Good to know it was Politicians. Now it has gone beyond politicians and blackmail. It a cry against oppression and the suppression of a race.
The military is owing us the names of Sponsors of Boko haram and the invincible killer herdsmen who are the first comers and should be first served. The Nigerian Police has seen reformations since the time of the former IGP and this Present IGP has brought far reaching reforms to the organization. I don't know to what extent the army has seen reformations.

I know many people seem to underestimate how bad things have gotten in that State because of IPOB propaganda but I can tell you that if FG doesn't act now thousands of innocent people will die and there might be full blown genocide against Igbos in the North. It is time to fire live bullets at anything IPOB and kill them to point of surrender or point of full declaration of war. My opinion.
Do you know what you are saying.
This anarchy is created by the FG and bad advicers. The fuel and principal thing here is injustice and inequity. The wide spreading ideology is that Buhari is the oppressor that wants Igbos alienated from the scheme of things and suppressed perpetually. Nothing has so far suggested otherwise with the killings ongoing at Abia state. The feeling is that if he is able to dominate the Igbos next target will be Niger-delta, and eventually all the Southern Nigeria.
You can't solve discontentment and anger arising from obvious selective appointments and administration of justice by unleashing Northern dominated Soldiers on citizens, killing and maiming residents.
The possibility of a coup is high and should it happen, bad advicers like Okorocha who you are affiliated to will be among the first people to be picked up.

sadly hunger and starvation all over again in event of war. most of their food come from the middle belt
The need to 'Pray for Nigeria' has not found a better expression than now. Nigeria is complex but we are lovely people, when injustice and inequality is the order of the day, much grumbling and anger takes over. Buhari has the opportunity to write his name in history book for good deeds, unite the country, defend the oppressed, pacify the hurt groups, compensations where necessary and follow the constitution. I for one, don't consider the Constitution inadequate for peaceful co-existence, when a leader sat on the constitutional provisions for things for so long, the present outcry is what we get.
I like Buhari and I believe he is the right man to correct somethings wrong with the country but he must listen to good advice and consider his steps from a nationalist perspective before giving orders. This is not the military era, a caliphate or draconian regime. It shouldn't be.

Boy it's political. PDP used Nnamdi Kanu to stake life of millions of Igbos living in the North as martyrs to cause ethnic cleansing because they lost power. Most of his followers are oblivious of this fact and that's why he should be tried and executed to save Igbos from ethnic cleansing.
Recant those statements, they are very irresponsible.
It has gone beyond political if at all it was political. It is spreading into revolution and believe me when it starts all the whores in Igboland will be consumed. It is dominance spearheaded by Buhari and it is not gonna end well. At this point it is beyond Nnamdi Kanu and the 'misled', educated people are buying into the ideology, millions of Igbos outside Nigeria are attentive, ethnic minorities are keying in and even the South Western group are seeing the hidden agenda in all this. Have you looked at the list of the Commanders of the joint force unleashed on Igbos.
Let me tell you the crises Gen Buhari and his Fulani commanders are brooding will chase him out of that seat of Power much sooner unless he retraces his steps. Dictators don't end well, go down memory lane. I didn't know Buhari is this way, person wey suppose dey mosque dey thank Allah for sparing his life, is giving orders and unleashing his kinsmen in Uniform to intimidate, harass and cause choas down East.
Btw I learnt you are Rochas Okorocha's boy. Tell Okorocha that he can't be Nigeria's President, as far as the north is concerned he is a Judas available to be used against his people. No matter his servitude, they will never compensate him with GCFR.

Can we get an explanation for this? Why won't there be agitation by Ipob and their reason for selling islamization propaganda always finds substance.
