If every serious project is sited at owerri, I guess it is just fair that other neglected areas contineu to produce the cheif executive. Anyi abiaghi na uwa maka ndi Owerri.

I am for distribution of projects in Imo State among communities other than Owerri municipality. However it is imperative to separate chaffs from the seeds when we talk about zoning in polity.

ahaika23:
E-gift and other apc agents in the house are still confused about the phrase 'Stealing is not corruption'. Please read this to learn. The earlier you stopped romancing with illiterates, the better. Please read my illustration below:

Gift, I suggest you look up the meaning of stealing and corruption. WHen they say go to school you say no, you want to be a stooge to a military illiterate who could not pass any course in military school. If barcanister steals your tecno phnoe, does it warrant you to say barcanister has 'corrupted' your phone? I laugh at how f00lish you all are, displaying illiteracy in broad day light. Aresa, a village headmaster collects N50 to pass egift's coconut headed son named akpos. You can conveniently say that Aresa is corrupt, but can you say that he stole the N50? Please APShit agents, go to school, get educated, learn and be wise. Following GMB will only drain you academically and at the end of the day you may lose your certificates to the military.

Unfortunately, few Nigerians actually knew the connotation of the word, "corruption".

millionaireman:
Turn of Owerri to produce governor? How? For the sake of Equity among the three zones? Does Owerri respect the concept of Equity among the zones? No.

One example: Owerri petitioned even the gods any time any Imo state governor talked about relocating Imo State University (IMSU) to another zone.
IMSU is one of the five universities and polytechnics in Imo state, and all of these five universities and polytechnics are located in or nearest Owerri zone. This inequity in location of these institutions in Imo state does not obtain in any of the other 35 states in Nigeria.

Equity in a state is not only about shifting governorship position among the zones. Let Owerri give up some of the advantages it derived from the mistakes of military era in locating development facilities only in the state capital, so that Equity can be in place in Imo state.

Is relocation of every project or institution in Owerri integral part of the zoning policy?

Anywhere I go, everyone just plotting against me - Okorocha

Okorocha Accuses Iwuanyanwu, Araraume, Others Of Plotting to defeat him in 2015
Imo State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, has accused a member of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustee, BoT, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, for fighting to remove him as the governor of the state come 2015.
The governor also accused Senator Ifeanyi Ararume, former governor of the state, Chief Ikedi Ohakim and Senator Arthur Nzeribe of also joining force with Iwuanyanwu to plot his down fall.
Speaking during a chat with newsmen in Owerri, the state capital, Gov. Okorocha said he has more political enemies than any state governor in the country.
“All the big men in Imo State are on one side fighting one man, Iwuanyanwu, Nzeribe, Ken Nnamani, even all the governors in the South East are fighting one man. I am like bad news. Anywhere I go, everyone just plotting against me,” Okorocha said.

What arrant nonsense. You are the dumbass architect of your pending political downfall, Mallam.

The mere insinuation of political union between the so-called SS, SE and SW is categorically a political blunder on the side of SS and SE. In other to avoid any politically treachery from SW, the SE and SS should not even entertain any idea of political handshake with SW. It is a noted fact that Hyena cannot change its spots.

This is funny! Lol.

Counting how many Ibos are left in villages waiting opportunity to migrate to Yorubaland, Ijawland and Hausaland.

Now, look at those three ethnic lands i just mentioned and you will instantly recognize that these are the current power brokers in Nigeria. Right?

Ibo did not loose its political grip because it was marginalized...rather because it abandoned its political base! New power brokers are waiting in the wing to vie for power control at the top....the Igalas, Kanuris, Tivis, Efiks....

Ibo displaced itself from majority and power brokerage.
I dont know what they should do to get it back but I know for sure we welcome the few headcount left in village to cross over to Yorubaland. Their constitutional right is always protected on our land. They can make their money here and even buy land and build mansions.

You are still stuck with the dumbass foolery. The post above reminds the saying about a fool at forty is a fool for ever.

The evil axis is back to the old tricks of 1966. The alliance of Northern and Western regions created the evil axis in 1966 and was prone to manufacturing insidious and malicious propaganda that instigated attacks on southerners in general and Igbo in particular. One such propaganda was an Igbo artist released Ewu Na Ebe Akwa to taunt the Northerners and Westerners.

berem:
honestly it is very annoying! Smh

What is really annoying is the level of knowledge or lack thereof you and ilk have shown on the subject matter.

ISpiksDaTroof:
And how many of yalls officers at the time were University Graduates?

Another troll on the loose. I do not monkey with basement fools. If you are really endowed with human intellect as you want us to believe, ordinary search on Nairaland would give you the number of Nigerian soldiers who had university degree in 60s.

All these self-defecating propaganda from malnourished Yoruba trolls cannot sway Ndiigbo from the main mission. The major aim of Igbo electoratea in Lagos State is to defeat any gubernatorial candidate from APC for Lagos State.

dekronik:
What are you saying in essence? I believe you are just going round in cycles. What I mean by "Lieutenant course" refers to all training and exams needed for a cadet to pass out as a (2nd)Lieutenant. The same way Police Inspectors(Diploma) attend Police Academy for "Suprintendant course" and pass out as Asistant Superintendant of Police ASP(Degree). What is there to be confused about. Or you insist they must write "B.Sc" on there certificates or what. We are basically saying the same thing here.

The above post clearly showed you are terribly confused. Please the educational structure in the armed forces is different from the police. As much as I know, police college does not award certificate equivalent to university first degree. What police have in police college is equivalent to Direct Short Service (DSS) in the armed forces via NDA. An enlisted NCO does not obtain a degree after going through one or two year course in NDA because it was not a degree -awarding program. However regular course cadets, mostly out of high school with good grades, go through four year of degree-awarding program in NDA.

There are police sergeants and inspectors that attend police college and after completion of the training are promoted to "Trainee Assistant Superintendent" while their colleagues who had university degree before being admitted into police college are promoted "Assistant Superintendent".

One of the USA president obtained BS in Nuclear Engineering from Naval Academy. In addition, the same naval academy produced the man who pioneered the introduction of nuclear plant on submarines.

dekronik:
I only used GMB as an example due to the false(?) notion that he is a semi-illitrate. I don't know which proffessional sector of the army he belonged. One thing I am certain of is he would not have attained the rank of General without going through the necessary Army higher cadre(post-graduate) exams. Just the same way that in the civil service, a diploma holder can NEVER rise to the rank of Permanent Secretary without furthering his education.

As much as I know, GMB does not have a first degree that is equivalent to university first degree. Due to nepotistic endeavors by the NPC in the 60s, Buhari was smuggled into Royal Military Academy, Aldershort, UK. The military academy was structured to admit enlisted NCOs and individuals with university degree. At the time Buhari was admitted into the school, GMB was neither an enlisted NCO nor a university degree holder. GMB is epitome of human fraud created by the Northern People’s Congress (NPC) in the 60s.

dekronik:
Your mind is already made up so there is no convincing you. Every certificate awarded by a military institution usually has an equivalent "civilian" certificate. A Lieutenant course in any Military Academy world over is equivalent to bachelors degree in the "civilian life", this is something everyone knows. But you are a typical Nigerian so you won't understand. You want "B.Sc" to be wriiten on the paper before you call him a "graduate" or "educated man". Such shame.

There was a time NDA was merely HSC or even less because there were enlisted men who did not obtain high school certificate that passed through NDA. I do not know if Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, UK is now a degree-awarding institution because it was strictly for regular combatant officers. Even the Royal Military Academy, Aldershort, UK was structured for enlisted soldiers who rose in rank and individuals with university degree.

In USA, a degree from West Point, Naval Academy or Air Force Academy is equivalent to degree certificate offered by any civilian university. In fact, I had preferred degree offered by military institution to a degree offered by most civilian universities.

There is nothing such as “ a lieutenant course” in military academy or universities that offer military courses. There is a known university in Texas which offers academic programs that transverse both military and civilian. Every student goes through the standard curricula while additional military courses are meted to students under ROTC. At the end of individual programs, the students are awarded degrees in various discipline including military certificate for those under ROTC.

Gozieobasi:
why think this way do u know how much the transport fare from SW to the SE especially during festive period and austerity.

This is the type of crass mindless thought that breeds social decadence. For the fact that transport fare is exorbitant does not encourage the wasteful indulgence of Mallam Rochas Okorocha. Instead the government should endeavor to improve the economy so that individuals will be able to afford transport fare without a hidden agenda from a dubious character such as Mallam Rochas Okorocha.

micolaj:
Educate us Mr. Lecturer, a functional democracy is where people are donating 21 bn for political campaign while masses were been given prototype STOVES to cook food that they can't afford in the market. TANmites HYPOCRISY.

Functionary democracy grants individuals the ability to free expression as allowed by the law. If a person decides to donate 1billon Naira as long as it is within the provision of the law, so be it. In addition, if someone can only afford to cook with fire wood and cannot afford gas-cooker, it is an economy as allowed by the functional democracy.

dekronik:
I have said I am not a supporter of any of them, I'm just clarifying issues. David Mark is a graduate of NDA, have you ever seen anywhere where they have called his degree in his CV? If you say I'm ignorant then illuminate me with your knowledge Mr Know-all.
People don't realise that the military as an institution is a highly structured body with all manner of proffessionals. Do you know that in some foreign countries its the military that bulds bridges and some form of contruction work. Ask youself why US sent 3000 soldiers to Liberia to tackle Ebola virus when there are many civilian doctors in US. Its because those sent are proffessional doctors and nurses even though they are soldiers. Hey friend, you are the one that's ignorant here please. Like I said, I'm not a supporter of any and I'm not APC or PDP either. I laugh when I read that PDP called GMB a semi-illitrate. What defines an illitrate? So all the courses he attended in US, UK, India etc are almajiri courses right. If after attending all those courses he is still a "semi-illitrate" then I think those countries should close down those institutions because they churn out "semi--llitrates". I don't blame them. Its the Nigerian mentality. A country were gradutes of polytechnic are hindered from fulfilling their potentials just because there is no "BSc" in their CV. I will vote for a groundnut seller if he gives me a credible manifesto. Its not about BSc or B.Tech. This nation is realy a joke.

Did you find out if David Mark attended NDA when the institution became "degree-awarding entity"? You also magnified your inherent ignorance when you referenced USA in your ignorant rant. The West Point, Naval Academy and Air Force Academy are all degree-awarding institutions. There are many other military institutions in USA that award degrees in every discipline such as Citadel etc. Even many universities offer military training and courses under (ROTC) that enable students to become 2nd lieutenant on graduation. By the way, NDA recently turned into degree awarding institution.

Any free governmental gift from an elected official is a coated poison. Most Nigerians have been fooled with these idiotic freebies from certain elected Nigerian government official such as Mallam Rochas Okorocha.

khia:
At the time of the incident at the store was dispacted, Michael had already been murdered.
So Wilson did not get any information, or discription on Michael prior to murdering him.

Are you that silly to even think Wilson testimony was the complete truth. Seriously?

Officer Wilson did not go about shooting African-American as your silly self would want us to believe. The descriptions of Michael Brown and his companion during the robbery at the stop were relayed to officer Wilson by a police dispatcher.

khia:
Real Africans need to get off their lazy butts and protest the corruption that is going on in Nigeria and stop sitting by and excepting what your crooked government is doing to it's people. Get up off your butts and fight for your rights, no one can do it for you.
Since when did the punishment for petty crime (stealing cigars) become death. Is that how they handle petty criminals in your country?

I guess your ignorance of the facts is not limited to the riot in Ferguson, Mo but Nigeria too. There is corruption everywhere in the world. In Nigeria though if you are caught steeling "pure water", you shall be publicly lynched. Petty crime is a curse.

AdeMusiwa,

Please do not include Agbor as one of the Oduduwa cities.

khia:
You need to read and look at the video of the sheriff admitting that Wilson didn't know of the prior incident.

Which sheriff's video? Please read the grand jury report and the testimony of Officer Wilson as well as police dispatcher.

Very funny,rochas is a clown.

A clown is better than Mallam Rochas Okorocha. Also, electorates in Imo State are clownish spectators.

dekronik:
So much has been said about GEJ's academic qualification and GMB's non(?) University qualifications. What people fail to realise is that military institutions also award educational certificates. For instance NDA Kaduna even offers PhD courses. A fresh cadet out of NDA is a full graduate with a degree(not university degree by the way). So why are some dumb Nigerians still insisting that GMB does not have any qualification even with the multiple military institutions he attended around the world? Or is it because he did not attent an ASUU run institution? If you don't know, better ask questions please rather than looking stupid. All those criticising GMB based on paper qualifications realy don't know what they are saying.
I'm not a supporter of any of them. I just want to clarify issues.

The above post exudes stark ignorance relative to Nigerians. The writer could have stopped with a question and avoid making suggestive statements especially with the comment about Buhari.

khia:
You complain if we call ourselves African Americans stating that we aren't Africans, now you complain that we hate Africans and don't want to be called African Americans but Black Americans, boy are some of you fickle.

Real African does not protest the death of a petty criminal such as Michael Brown.

khia:
This is a lie, that cop didn't know anthing about that incident at the store when he murdered Michael.
Even the sheriff admitted that Wilson didn't know anything about Michael stealing a couple of cigars prior to murdering him.

You need to read more about the case than you have done already.

Gen M. Buhari is human fake and only relevance today because he is a Fulani and from northern region of Nigeria. The alleged CV credited to Buhari is enmeshed in shadiness. Few people knew the reason why Buhari went from secondary school to Aldershot, UK, a military academy meant for enlisted soldiers or individuals with University degree. He was neither an enlisted soldiers no individual with university degree yet he went to Aldershot military academy. I guess it was NPC’s nepotism in action. In addition, the crappy Buhari’s CV quoted he was twice a Brigade Major yet the identity of the Brigades were not indicated. This looks very much like the compilation dished out by Nowo Omogui.

Change2015:
If the army is so wonderfully equipped why has Jonathan avoided Bauchi and Borno as if Ebola is there? An army is not just based on each man having one gun. They need local intelligence, rpg's, basic bulletproof vests, they need repair of equipment and medical services, they need food and lodging etc. They are on a national duty and anything they say they lack, they should get if it helps us defeat bh. It has been 3 long years now and you see how little progress has been made, but all you have are excuses for your idol. Please excuse me if I use my head properly.
The police are notorious for running away from equally or better armed robbers. If they die aren't their widows thrown out of the barracks after a year if they are lucky. What do they get as death benefits? Is it paid promptly? Is there any incentive to put your life on the line defending law and order, when the government is ready to offer amnesty and cash to your murderers? The system needs an overhaul, and murdering foot soldiers is not where to begin.

The above sketch tells about a writer who is loaded with innuendoes. Boko Haram is an insurgent outfit without a uniform, command and control or country. I do not even know if you are not one of the Boko Haram sects. Nigeria is an epitome of uselessness and idiocy. It amounts to acts of idiocy and disingenuousness to remotely blame Goodluck Jonathan for the state of Nigeria. There is nothing wrong with democracy which is the system of government found in Nigeria. However there is inherent deficiency within the political cornerstone upon which the so-called Nigeria stood. If one thing needs to be changed, it is the present configuration of Nigeria. We do not need revolution in Nigeria but disintegration of Nigeria.
