asha 80: the thing is this,the average imolite on the streets is more interested in infrastructure development than any other thing and that is where the present administration thumps the previous ones.the more enlightened imolites are aware of the discrepiances of this administration and are also not happy about some of them but the thing is at the polls this administration would still get more appreciation than former ones because of the reason i earlier gave.

i believe so too and do hope we are proven wrong.....

now this is part of our history, for our children learn in schools. 1000 likes.
Pls post more videos, clips or stuff u can find not just on this topic but on our history....

Scarpon: boys must eat no dulling

onatisi: okupe is only confirming what analysts have been saying,acn should have retained their status and not joined this so called merger,this will be their greatest undoing because some of the ppl in this merger are pdp stooges and moles,it is sure that acn will lose some states in the next election.

I don't think so but we shall see. 2015 will shed light on how the politics of Nigeria would evolve in the next coming years. If the merger parties are able to get their shit 2gether, I would pity PDP cos it could mean their fall. That is like i said, if the merger parties can get their shit 2gether.

Yea heard about that too

Greetings to all learned colleagues in NL. If u guys read the topic titled "I was offered 3 billion to impeach Okorocha at link https://www.nairaland.com/1260228/pdp-chieftains-offered-me-n3bn, then it would interest you to read this reply to the speaker.

The reply starts below;

I noted with dismay the recent media publication credited to the Speaker of the Imo State House of Assembly Rt. Hon Benjamin Uwajumogu wherein the Speaker claimed that the Presidency , Chief Martin Agbaso, the PDP, Chief Emeka Offor and others offered him =N=3 billion in August 2012 to impeach Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State.

Every discerning Nigerian knows that the statement is a pure fabricated lie sponsored by Governor Okorocha and Uwajimogu to win public sympathy. Imo people are wiser, you fooled Imolites once in the case of Jude Agbaso, Uwajimogu you can’t fool us again.

It is however very unfortunate that a person occupying the exalted position of the Speaker of a State House of Assembly will cook up such a big lie in order to appear like a loyal servant to Governor Okorocha just to save his job.

One wonders how you, Benjamin Uwajimogu, that received N150,000,000 to Impeach Jude Agbaso, will see N3,000,000,000 and look the other way.

Will a man as corrupt as Uwajimogu, armed with a long list of impeachable offenses committed by Okorocha, see N3billion Naira and look the other way ?

Uwajimogu, please stop insulting the sensibility of Imo people. If you are looking for something to do, setup a committee to recover the entire sum paid to Jpros and bring all the culprits to book.

If you are looking for something to do, recommend the sack of Macdonald Akano for the role he played in the Jpros Scandal.

If you are looking for what to do, confront Imo state Government for the violation of CGC law by appointing CGC members instead of conducting CGC election as captured in IMHA CGC law, which you Uwajimogu and your house of Assembly Passed into law.

Uwajimogu If you don’t know what to do, set up a committee to look into the allegation that IMSU students are paying N20, 000 on top of the so called “100 % free education given to them”.

Uwajimogu if you are so idle and you don’t know what to do, setup another committee to investigate why monumental projects that have received 40% payment are yet to take off.

If you are looking for what to do, setup a committee to investigate the over N38, 000,000 collected from CGC candidates by ISEC last year without conducting any election.

Uwajimogu, If you are looking for what to do , setup a committee to investigate what Okorocha did with =N=13.3 Billion Bond Proceeds out of the N18.5 taken by the Imo State Government during Ohakim’s regime, =N=3 Billion SUBEB project account, =N=2.5 Billion Local Government Joint Project Account, =N=3.6 Billion left in JAAC Account by the previous administration, =N=488 Million in VAT account, More than N26.27 Billion of Local Government Allocations for 27 Local Government Areas in Imo State, =N=670 Million Imo children fund, etc. and make your findings public.

If you are looking for what to do, Uwajimogu, setup a committee to look into how Plots of Lands allotted to citizens of the State were revoked without due Process and lands belonging to communities appropriated to Okorocha’s Family Members, Associates and Friends using his son In-law,who he made Commissioner for Lands . Please make your findings public.

Uwajimogu, set up a committee to look into the use of ISOPADEC funds, if you don’t know what to do and make your findings public.

Uwajimogu, at the inception of this administration, Governor Okorocha told the

whole world that he had ceded the state legislative quarters to Concorde Hotel

Owerri and named it Concord Extension. Later, he renamed the place Luxury

Apartment and leased it to his partner in crime who is his Special Adviser on

Project Monitoring, Prince Macdonald Akano for 25 years, you kept mute.



Uwajimogu under your watch, Okorocha took all the world-class Printing and

Sword Machines worth over 200 million naira (acquired by Mbakwe

Administration) belonging to Imo Newspapers to Lagos for repairs and Sold them to his company Lamonde Press in Lagos at the paltry sum of =N=200,000.

Under our watch, a state Governor declared a Public Holiday and literally shot down the state for a week, just to celebrate his birthday, and wasted huge amount of state funds in the whole birthday jamboree.

Uwajimogu under your watch Okorocha used the state funds to build a private university in Ogboko under the pretence of relocating IMSU to Ogboko, you kept quiet.

Uwajimogu, under your watch people’s houses in Orlu, Owerri and Okigwe were demolished without compensation, you kept quiet.

Uwajimogu, under your watch, Okorocha reduced admission quota for Imo Indigenes in Imo State University and Imo State Polytechnics (IMSU) to 30%, Prof. B.E.B Nwoke even lost his job for daring to speak up against this policy, Uwajimogu you kept quiet.

Uwajimogu does it not border you that Okorocha is owing Retired Primary School Teachers who retired from 1991 till date 10 months arrears of pensions (these group of pensioners form 70% of the entire pensioners in Imo state) no gratuities and no hope to pay them in the next 2 years

Uwajimogu shouldn’t it be viewed as an act of wickedness against Imo people that you and your Assembly allowed the ceding of all the General Hospitals in Imo State to Okorocha’s Northern Nigerian associate for 15 years.

Uwajimogu, please where is the proceeds from the lease of Adapalm, ITC, General Hospitals , Concord Hotel etc or will you pretend you don’t know they have been wired into Okorocha’s private accounts?

Does it not bother Uwajimogu that the streets of Owerri are littered with abandoned city gates projects because the contractors handling those projects have not been paid?

Uwajimogu where were you when such a funny project was started in the first instance.

Has it not come to Uwajimogu’s notice that over 20 months arrears of pensions of retired staff of I.B.C have not been paid.

Uwajimogu, did you decide to turn a blind eye to these things because of the road contracts you are doing in the state or the ones you awarded even though the law does not permit you to exercise such powers…. EFCC will soon open your case.

Uwajimogu, Stop fooling yourself you and your entire assembly goofed, Imo people are wiser. You are simply looking for a story to justify your now ignoble action.

Sorry, Imo people now know the truth. Very soon it will be your turn to face the music.

Knowing Okorocha from his misendeavors of the past. I had always had this uneasy feeling about him, although he had tried to bring development in Owerri but that didn't stop me feeling real uneasy when there was something about him. I think my unease have been proven right. Okorocho is as evil as they all come....
Guys over to you, what is your take in this IMO state saga.
Moderators pls front page.

shadrach77: Popular showbiz pastor Sign Fireman is the General Overseer of Sign Fireman Miracle Crusade...a church quite popular among Nigerian celebrities. His real name is Ofuche Ukoha and he's from Abia.

The man of God announced his wedding to his congregation last Sunday at his Church headquarters situated in Surulere. The wedding will happen this Sunday 28th of April in his own church. As for the girl he's getting married to, everyone will have to wait until the 28th to find out!

But what does the hummer have to do with it or is he marrying the car?

spiritfada: Edo State Governor Adams Oshiomhole on Monday  warned the  Esama of Benin, Chief Gabriel Igbinedion, to stop undermining state laws.

Oshiomhole, at the inauguration  of 14 newly elected local government chairmen  in Benin,   said government had  the capacity and the will to contain Igbinedion's excesses.

He also asked the state Independent Electoral Commission to tender unreserved apology to the people of the state for the lapses recorded in the local government election held on Saturday.

He said, "There is evidence that he (Igbinedion) has undermined the prosperity of the state for a very long time. Those who live in glass houses do not throw stones.

"I want to send a warning to Chief Igbinedion that he should take it easy;  he has acquired a lot of government land that the people have not engaged him on. He walks as if he is above the law. He was a chief tax collector in this state, pocketing 25 to 30 per cent of every kobo that accrued while his son was the governor.

"I have not looked back because my mandate is to look forward. I want to put him on notice that if he continues with elderly rascality, I will bring him to justice.

"He must never ever underestimate the fact that I have the will and I have the capacity to deploy that will; if he crosses the law, he will be cut to size.

"Elders must teach the younger ones to behave responsibly.

The governor berated Igbinedion over his alleged conduct on election day on Saturday in Okada.

"You heard how he is using ITV in a very reckless manner, in clear breach of the NBC code. He reduced himself as a high chief,  leaving where he is registered to vote and going all the way to Okada on a day movement was restricted across the state.

"He got to Okada and illegally used mobile policemen to walk on the street; going to the police station where sensitive election materials were  kept  in order to vandalise the sensitive electoral materials to ensure elections did not take place.

"If he misleads himself into believing that he has the birth right to continue to appropriate and  privatise the resources of Edo State, he is living in a fool's paradise."

What bullshit is this. So the governor knows the man has done a lot of crimes and he is keeping his mouth shot. What is wrong with this country? If u have evidence against him, then bring it out. Make him pay and vomit the people's money he has eaten. People are hungry and dying.

manny4life: SMH at our leaders, when did mall become a priority?

Anyway, they said Abia govt has 15% stake in it, not too bad though as much as I do not support the move.

Its the misplaced priority of our leaders. Last I checked Abia still has no good roads and the governor is building malls. Which road are the people which the governor is building his so called digital mall for use to get to the mall. This is just going to be one of those projects they start and half way through abandon it. Or it could be their usual propaganda gimmick. Either which way the Abia state government is not going to come out of this one looking like saints. People, this one stinks to high heaven but then where else would such be attempted but in Aba or Onitsha; the hearts of Igboland.

manny4life: Did u say $200billion annually?

While I believe this is a good idea, I strongly believe the numbers are "FALSIFIED".

hmm, they should pls tell us how much apapa whoof is bringing in annually b4 we believe this their falsified estimation. Besides, when they start falsifying figures and they have not yet built the stuff, how does one now believe that the port would do what it is projected to do.

Nedu31: In spite d underground drainage,d problem remain d same.I doubt if u live in Uyo or within Uyo environ

tell am abeg

after waste of public funds is on the way...

MRbrownJAY: lol, i gave you something worthy to make your point "somehow" valid, and here you are thinking that this point is the shiiiit.

(see how Mrs C took the bait, bwaaaah)............. anyway, a man needs to recharge his batteries however he sees fit. obviously being around that lady does NOT help in that matter, and since he took this extra job to support HER lack of finances, she best accept whatever whim he throws at her. just because a woman is pregnant does not mean that her man should sacrifice all his life for her hormonal BS. he needs to be at the top of his game, both emotionally and physically, so whatever gets him there is as important as anything/anyone else.

- this man NEEDS to do this extra job (since his wifey stopped hers), FACT!
- having two jobs back to back is no joke and wifey should certainly understand that, FACT!
- since the wellbeing of this family depends on the husband having two jobs, the focus is now on making sure that he KEEPS these two job. FACT!
- so if this man needs to recharge his batteries by hanging out with friends and working on cars on his free time then thats exactly what he should do.......... FACT!

we all know how women expect to be the center of attention when pregnant, sadly some people have better more important things to do

Nice one there bros. Mrs Chima, hope u do have a good reply to this cos ma bros here has said it all

*Ywans,....trys to walk out but people coming in prevents him from doing so.
**Ywans again and says "but we've heard this b4" Pls PDP and or Opposition parties (APC, CPC, ACN, APGA) please tell us something new. Or better still tell us what u are doing to fight this corruption that has taken a deep root in our system. Cos we all know:
Corruption= PDP + APC + CPC + APGA + ACN = Corruption.

that is where wet dreams begins and ends...

Emmadani: Weda he was misunderstood or not,he has transformed akwa ibom state 2 a better place.Nigeria media is d most corrupt not d govt.

Really

[quote author=Mrs.Chima]Even you know that comeback was wack as hell. Lol at him calling me a feminist like that supposed to hurt my feelings.

Ignorance is a malign trait.[/quote]Lol, wasn't trying to hurt ur feelings madam. That's too cheap and very obtainable in NL. No ma, I was just stating a statement of fact. From all ur posts, U do sound like a feminist. That's sad cos Nigeria has more problems and doesn't need more like feminism.

teeo: Blame them for what is it the teachers fault that the student learnt too well

Its also what I ask but madam feminist chima will not have a good answer to this one

What a tribalistic thread. U mean the Fulani people have not produced powerful people, what of I jaws,..what of GEJ's ethnic grp.

[quote author=absa$]Struck out, cancelled, substitute, reap off. All na electoral malpratice. Expecting Akpabio to tender an apology to d good people of akwa ibom or tender his resignation . In fact, d mans intergrity is in doubt.[/quote]well said

[quote author=Mrs.Chima]The same thing I can ask you men.[/quote]But its true, women are the most selfish creatures on earth madam chima

kalunomics: cutting out 48seconds from a video coverage is like quoting someone out of content and then interpreting it the way you like. Why not show us the full video clip and let judge if he was really misunderstood or not?

I agree with u but it would be nice to hear directly from channels TV so we can see the whole interview ourselves
