Politics / Re: Profile of Aisha-jummai Alhassan Nigerias' First Elected Female Governor. by DonProphet: 5:58pm On Nov 07, 2015
DAME VIRGY ETIABA from Nnewi in Anambra state is the first female/woman governor in Nigeria. Alhassan will be the second(2nd) female/woman governor in Nigeria if she ever wins the appeal because PDP must appeal the judgement.
Politics / Nsukka Cultural Zone Has Not Produced A Minister Since 1999 by DonProphet: 9:16pm On Oct 15, 2015
Enugu state is made up of three senatorial zones; Enugu North, Enugu East and Enugu West. Since the return to democracy in 1999 which is 16 years now, the state has been democratic in sharing elective political positions. In 1999, Dr. Chimaroke Nnamani from Enugu East senatorial zone became the executive governor of the state, while Chief Okechukwu Itanyi from Enugu North senatorial zone became the deputy governor and the speakership goes to Enugu West in the person of Abel Chukwu. By 2007 Mr Sullivan Chime from Enugu West Senatorial Zone became the governor and Mr Sunday Onyebuchi from Enugu East Senatorial Zone became the deputy governor while Barr. Sunday Onyebuchi from Enugu North Senatorial zone became the speaker. This year, 2015, Hon Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi from Enugu North senatorial zone became the executive governor while Mrs Cecelia Ezilo from Enugu West senatorial zone became his deputy and the speakership goes to Enugu East senatorial zone. This rotation among the triangular equilibrium has brought political harmony in the land of Enugu.
But in the case of ministerial appointments from the state since 1999 the case is not the same. The ministerial slots of the state has been rotated between Enugu East and Enugu West senatorial zones while Enugu North senatorial zone which has the highest population figure according to 2006 census figure watches. This is how it has been going since 1999:
From 1999-2003 Chief Dubem Onyia from Enugu West Senatorial zone served as a Minister of state External Affairs
From 2003-2007 Chief Frank Nweke Jnr. From Enugu East senatorial zone served as a Minister of Inter governmental Affairs, Information and Communication
From 2007-2011 Mrs Fidelia Njeze from both Enugu West and East senatorial zones served as a Minister of State Agriculture and Defense
From 2011-2015 Prof. Bath Nnaji from Enugu East senatorial zone and Prof. Chinedu Nebo from Enugu West senatorial zone served as Ministers of Power.
Now, in 2015 Mr. Geoffrey Jideofor Onyeama from Enugu West Senatorial zone has been nominated to serve as a minister in the present government.
It is worthy of note that Enugu North senatorial zone has the highest population figure in the state as illustrated below:
ENUGU NORTH (1,228,586 populations) is made up of 6 local governments thus:
Igbo Etiti 209,248
Igboeze North 259,431
Igboeze South 147,328
Nsukka 309,633
Udenu 178,466
Uzo Uwani 124,480
ENUGU EAST (1,166,548 populations) is made up 6 local governments thus:
Enugu East 279,089
Enugu North 244,852
Enugu South 198,723
Isi Uzo 148,415
Nkanu East 148,774
Nkanu West 146,695
ENUGU WEST (1,054,711 populations) is made up of 5 local governments thus:
Aninri 133,723

Politics / The Ministerial Nominee From Enugu State by DonProphet: 7:13pm On Oct 15, 2015
Up until Tuesday, October 13, 2015, not too many people knew or had even heard of Mr. Geoffrey Jideofor Onyeama. He is an indigene of Eke in Udi Local Government Area of Enugu state
His name which was included in the second ministerial nominees list read out on the floor of the Senate by Senate President Bukola Saraki among others did not immediately ring a bell.
In fact, many people from Enugu State, his home state were already agitating that the state was excluded in the ministerial list showing that he is not very well known in the state much more Nigeria.
Even the Deputy Senate President, Chief Ike Ekweremadu while contributing to a motion on the exclusion of FCT in the ministerial list also said that he was doubtful if Enugu State, his home state was represented in the list.
His name made the coveted list because he is a friend to President Muhammadu Buhari’s Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari who made a strong recommendation for him.
It was gathered that both attended Cambridge University in the 1980s and have been close friends ever since then. Before the final list was read out on the floor of the Senate yesterday, most observers predicted that Osita Okechukwu, an All Progressives Congress (APC) stalwart in Enugu State, and an indigene of Eke like Onyeama, would be the nominee from the state.
While some dropped the name of Prof Bat Nnaji, the former Minister of Power as
a possible nominee. Onyeama is the fourth son of Charles Dadi Onyeama, who was Nigeria’s first ever judge at the International Court of Justice at the Hague, and younger brother of author Dilibe.
The nominee also read law at Cambridge after a degree in Political Science from Columbia University and has worked with the World Intellectual Property Organisation since the 1980s.
Politics / Re: Obasanjo And The Copenhegan Foundation Visit Aso Rock (photos) by DonProphet: 9:54pm On Oct 12, 2015
Obasanjo is a great master of Nigeria politics. He is the grand master of Nigeria political mafians. I am always happy when I see him around PMB.
Politics / Re: Ministerial List: Names To Watch Out For (photos) by DonProphet: 9:46pm On Oct 12, 2015
Since we returned to democracy in 1999 these are the names of ministers from Enugu state:
1. Chief Dubem Onyia
2. Mr. Frank Nweke Jr.
3. Pharm. Mrs. Fidelia Njeze
4. Engr. Bart Nnaji
5. Prof Chinedu Nebo

Among these ministers none is from Enugu North senatorial zone (Nsukka zone).

Does it mean there is no qualified person from Nsukka
Politics / Re: Senate Committee Suspends Petition Against Amaechi by DonProphet: 9:32pm On Oct 12, 2015
Amaechi is divinely favoured, there is no reason to fight him. If you fight him, you may loose your post. GEJ and wife did it and where are they now? Wike is doing it and you will know where he goes soon.
Politics / Re: Why Power Supply Improved Under Buhari, By Nebo by DonProphet: 11:53am On Oct 12, 2015
Yes it is Nebo's legacy in the power sector that we are enjoying now. Nebo in GEJ administration made a lot of contributions in the power sector but corruption could not allow the result to manifest or for us to feel the impact. Buhari has a share in the relatively steady power we are enjoying because if he had not removed corruption which was clog on the wheel of the sector, the gains will not manifest. Nebo also left legacy of high school fee, introduction of acceptance fee, and others in UNN

Politics / Re: We Won’t Allow PDP Senators To Disqualify Ministerial Nominees - APC Senators by DonProphet: 11:41am On Oct 12, 2015
This will be the first test of PMB political strength. If any of his nominee is dropped, he has to go to OBJ for political torturing.
Education / Re: UNICAL Students Stage A Peaceful Protest (Photos) by DonProphet: 11:37am On Oct 12, 2015
If they protesting for this what should the UNN students have done. The fact is that most of these people that are making education expensive are trained by their communities or on scholarship. They use the university as a money making venture where they make money to build factories abroad and also for political patronage.
Politics / Re: It’s Senseless, Needless For PDP To Oppose PMB- Gov Umahi by DonProphet: 11:33am On Oct 12, 2015
Chief Dave Umahi is an intelligent and smart governor. Those states like Ekiti where their governors are fighting the federal government are simply trading the fortunes of their citizens for personal pride and arrogant. It happened to river state during the Amechi era when he started fighting the president. Rivers survived because of their high internal generated revenue profile, but some states like Ebonyi may not find it funny.

Politics / Re: Housing Development In Enugu (pictures) by DonProphet: 11:25am On Oct 12, 2015
I think government is for all, both the poor and rich. Why is it that most of these housing estates are not targeted towards the poor in the society? The cost of these houses are so exorbitant that they are purchased by mostly politicians and drug/oil barons, while the common and average man in the society keep living in a suburb areas. They say housing for all (MDGs).

That is why he is a great leader. I wonder the kind leaders of tomorrow today's youths are going to be as the reading culture has disappear from among us. The real leaders build personal library first from where they derive inspiration to build political and business empire.
