Christistruth00:
Ezeigbe is definitely not an Edo Name

It is likely to be Ezeigbo mispelt or spelt differently

The one of Nasarawa is also Igbo

Yes the one in Nasarawa is Igbo. Unless maybe the name is misspelt, Ezeigbe is purely Edoid. "Igbe" isn't found in any Igbo lexicon.

Eze itself isn't entirely Igbo. Just like Okoro isn't also entirely Igbo. Words might sound similar but are of different root. Eze means sacrifice.

By the way, this isn't a wise move by the party. A non-yoruba shouldn't head Lagos, a state dominated majorly by the Yorubas.

christistruth01:
He is from SE

I may be wrong but the name Eze-Igbe is purely edoid. It has no single root in Igbo. EzeIgbe means Sacrificial Dance.

FreeStuffsNG:
And Mr Ezeigbe Ughulu is the state coordinator for Lagos state. smh.


check my signature for free stuffs!

Ezeigbe could be an Edo man.

No. It is not like that......the problem we have is the leaders are not setting up a system to create the exportation process. That's is the whole SUMMARY of peter obi's manifesto. He understands the problems plaguing Nigeria. The Buhari-led govt tried to stop imports entering the country. What is the result?
Hyper inflation of goods and services everywhere. When you create scarcity for a product. You automatically increase prices of that product. It is basic economics. Demand must meet supply. It is the same issue we have with rice. Before the restrictions in 2015 we where buying rice at 10k, 7yrs later with the restrictions we are buying the same quantity of rice at 40k. The price of rice has surpassed minimum wage. We can't continue like this. If we don't uplift the restrictions In 5 years time......we will buy the same quantity of rice at 120k. That is why we must allow imports and build our manufacturing industry at the same time. We don't export.....we don't allow imports. That's why our naira is suffering. We can't export. We don't want imports. No man is an Island on his own. The fire-brigade approach of Buhari is what is making the purchasing power of Nigerians very low. And if its low. Foreign investors can't come and sell their products. Who will buy it?.......America produce cars but yet they still allow foreign companies to bring their cars into their country. That is a system that works. We can do the same provided there is stable electricity, power, economy and currency. Obi truly understands Nigeria problems

Please don't use America as an example, no one protects local industries more that her. What did you think caused their trade war with china?

We should encourage the next government to improve on the aspects Buhari slacked and opening our country to massive importation will only worsen things. We are not making enough money from crude as we did 10years ago, our income is depleting yet our tastes for foreign products keeps increasing, this here is the reason for the hyper inflation and poor performance of the naira.

What we expect the next government to do is to look for ways to boost local production. Our farmers aren't producing enough rice to meet with the demands, what can we do to solve this problem? What are the challenges faced by local investors? How can we optimize production? These are the right questions to ask, not seeking to open the borders for more importations.

We have been doing this for decades and yet we kept growing poorer. What did you think killed the local industries that once existed in Nigeria in the 70's and 80's? Massive Importation is disastrous to us Africans and we must do everything to tame this lazy man's way of getting problem solved. It only has short term benefits but not long term.

JoeNL22:
Nigeria doesn't have the capacity to export.
Until den we can continue to import till we create a system for exportation.

We can't create a system for exportation if we continue with this crazy importation trend. No country has pulled that feat. No one in history. Once you depend heavily on others, you are doomed.

Look at Venezuela and Iran. Both are under heavy sanctions but one is crumbling faster because from the get go, they sold crude oil and imported basically everything. The moment sanctions came knocking, they crumbled.

We need to enforce more restrictions and support local investors. For us to defeat poverty, we must learn to create more value. Presently, the minorities are the ones feeding the country, without the sale of crude oil, we all we have been eating our eyes. All thanks to our lazy and unproductive nature.

Workch:
1. Rice, rice is cheaper to import than producing it in Nigeria.

2. Frozen food: it is expensive in Nigeria because there is no power to store them. It cost a lot in diesel to store them.

3. Plastic and rubber products: for obvious reasons, no power to manufacture these things here.
4 polypropylene granules: no power to manufacture.
4. Cellophane wrappers: no power, companies waste money buyuny diesel.

5. Soap and cosmetics.
6. Tomatoes/tomato pastes. Etc.

With the current realities of power, it's still cheaper to import these than producing then here. The inability of government to meet up with power demands of manufacturers is causing inflation in these products.

It's so so stupid to impose restrictions when you lack the capacity to produce them. It's increases cost of production.

A sane government will first make an environment to effectively reduce cost of production before removing restrictions, just like china did.

Government should be encouraged to create an enabling environment for industries and factories to strive not this importation nonsense. There is no country in this world that would progress with this sick mentality.

Every stable country tightens what comes into her home. In US, local factories are protected by the government with heavy tariffs on rival products. They make it practically impossible for you to make profits importing what can be sourced locally. Read more about protectionism in the US and other developed countries.

We have no business importing Fuel, Soap, Tomatoes, Rice, Gas, Beans, Steel... What the hell is wrong with us? These things can be sourced locally for crying out loud.

Ooopsss, why are there no jobs in Nigeria?? Lol

OfoIgbo:
You sound like someone with no business instincts.

You have to lift import restriction on everything, but we can increase the tax on imports of certain items that are already manufactured locally by more than one manufacturer, to ensure their is no monopoly and the resultant exploitative policies of the monopolist.

You also don't want the nation being seen as an ultra-protectionist country, that attracts retaliatory measures from other countries.

Even the import duties on these certain items have to be very negotiable at the government -to-foreign government level. Scratch my back and i scratch your back understandings.

No-one wants Nigerian exporters being hit with retaliatory protectionist measures from other foreign countries, when they wish to export their wares

Anyway thank God Peter Obi will get in there with a proper Igbo man's business sense.

All these half-baked semi-illiterate ways will soon become a thing of the past

"retaliatory protectionist measures" lol.

A Nigerian worrying himself about the retaliations of others. Ask yourself, what are they buying from you aside Oil and Gas? What exactly do we offer the outside world? What retaliations can the outside world give a country like Nigeria when they buy nothing from us? Please don't mention oil.

We must tighten out import. Infact, if we can't farm rice in Nigeria, then we should eat STONE.

The country and continent is sinking because of our lazy and unwilling attitude to get things done. Factories exists in Asia for the sole purpose of producing what we Africans consume, they don't buy from us but they sell to us.

Nigeria wouldn't have been cement independent if we hadn't ban importation of Cement. Untill we tell ourselves the truth, we would keep wallowing in poverty and unemployment.

ejimatic:
Which one can we use sir?

5 out of 10. Could be lesser if we are to consider those who did traditional marriage.

ejimatic:
. Go to any community ask them to produce their wedding certificates hardly will you see 7 out of ten that will produce them.What many people do is Engagement which is not the same as marriage.

7 out of 10 is rather too much.

Move on sister.

highchief1:
thanks bro.ppl are not realistic at all.even Obi knows it won’t be easy for him.Obi has destroyed pdp chances this is where bat has a chance.All the obidents noise is in the strong holds of pdp.

Obi has already created a case for SE presidency, whatever the outcome of the election would be, he has already written his name in history.

Come to think of it, a repeat of 2019 would have been disastrous to BAT, man would have lost before the election day. Imagine facing a combo of both Atiku/Obi. LoL

highchief1:
na so e be na.if pdp and lp can eat into Lagos that is bats base e come be delta.it’s going to be dicey elections.But I think OBIDIENTs are making noise.i don’t see Peter obi winning.but if he remains consistent after 2023 he may.But the problem with Nigerian politicians is inconsistency.

Obi should endeavor to secure his home region with a wide margin. I can't write him off easily but realistically speaking, BAT's chances are quite higher when you consider various factors and permutations.

I'm observing the trend in my state and I know no single party will get 50% of the total votes cast. This was a state that once gave GEJ 90%.

highchief1:
i don’t know o.but at some point in life a man has more than his vote.u can’t tell me ppl don’t listen to u.or ppl don’t believe in u.if that’s how u are living try and adjust.In my ward I can boast of over 500ppl that I can give instructions.

I know DSP will command votes for BAT, a lot is at stake for him and his loyalists but we can't deny the fact that LP & PDP will still eat into some of his strongholds most especially the Urban part of Ughelli. The rest are likely to fall for him.

The maximum LGA DSP can secure for his party in the general election in Delta state won't exceed 2/3.

The Midwest invasion was Ojukwu's fault. Banjo and Ifeajuna took over the neutral region, but Ojukwu demanded an Igbo man rule it as a puppet state, the argument was prolonged on Ojukwu's insistence that an Igbo man ruled contrary to Banjo and Ifeajuna's idea that at least someone from the region should rule so to not appear hostile. An Igbo man Dr Albert Okonkwo eventually ruled the region.

The people there faced trouble from the Biafran army especially when they were forced to give out food to the Biafran troops. That lead to violent uprisings especially from the Ijaws and Urhobos who attacked a Biafran camp and killed 50 soldiers. The Biafran soldiers retailed which lead to more violence in the Midwest.

Upon his arrival in Benin City, Banjo reportedly made contacts with David Ejoor, a neutral military governor who had wanted his region out of the whole crisis. Orders were given for his head but somehow David Ejoor outsmarted them and escaped unhurt.

We can't really say what happened but Banjo's actions and inactions suggested he wasn't really in tune with Ojukwu's orders. The Midwest just got independence from the western regional government and a puppet from the East was a no no for the indigenous people who were mostly Edoids.

chrisxxx:
Most properties shared and not given to ladies usually belong to the community. Each family has the right to share their property the way they wish.

Thankfully, not every community in Southern Nigeria exclude women from ancestral inheritance. Whether the land belongs to my forebears or not, whatever my sons can inherit, my daughters too can also inherit.

chrisxxx:
Some of these practices are there to keep our married daughters at their husbands house.

The practice is evil. I cannot labour for years and my daughters excluded from my wealth. We shouldn't defend some of these practices.

Kingozymandias:
I think you are being insincere. Generally in all tradition in Nigeria from North to South women are always over looked. Don't tell lies ! There is no custom where they ordinarily allow women inherit the father's property.
At least in the past, it's just now states are waking up and doing the right thing

Not all culture in Nigeria seclude women from inheritance. I've stated earlier that women in some parts of southern Nigeria share equal claims as men.

In my end, heritance are shared to both Men and Women. In polygamous settings, properties are divided by the numbers of gate (wives) and distributed to the offerings. Doesn't matter if the first wife had only male and the second wife birthed only females. Heritance will be shared equally!

Romanoff:
We thank God.

I've always wondered what the place of a woman is in the south east and south south.

They can't inherit their father's property and they can't inherit their husband's property cause of the husband's brothers and family, worse if the man dies, na to throw her out remain.

Thank God for this law.

You shouldn't use one state to judge an entire region. In my own side, women have equal opportunity/right as men. Infact, you dare not drag inheritance with an offspring (Male or female).

Aiel123:
I'm in Delta, agbor to be precise.
Not a loyalist of any party ,just like PDP.
Obi's publicity is just springing up,only a few posters and bill board here.

Agbor is the home state of the contesting VP. You don't expect LP to make any move there. Try visiting Uvwie and Warri.

Sammy07:
Truth! And in every elections what is important is the margins

Imagine this
Delta state (V. P)
PDP - 400k
LP - 200k
Apc - 100k

Now if Borno (V. P)
Apc - 900k
PDP - 100k
LP - 10k

They'll just declare apc winner irrespective weather they didn't win delta.
Margins wins are very important in elections.

P. O emergence will seriously hurt PDP in the south where it's has a stronghold

Margin is important. As it stands, I don't see any state in SS giving any bloc votes to the PDP. The northern ticket isn't helping matter and the emergence of LP brought in a greater alternative. Forget about SE, that region is the only region in Nigeria that can give 95% bloc votes and their turn-up will help shoot the figures of Obi.

Interesting times ahead.

Aiel123:
That's true
I don't rate the LP at all
I'll rate them after the polls by their performance.
I know Obi is eating into PDP's traditional strongholds but it doesn't resonates with me that LP is strong enough to do much damage in Delta.
It will be PDP first,APC and LP second and third runner up.

Maybe you aren't in the state. I'm in the heart of Warri and I can tell you for free that Obi is gaining momentum.

If you are a party loyalist then you shouldn't sleep on LP.

Udoboss:
You're right..Our Son mentality can't work firstly the paradigm of politics is changing....
I went back home to Warri....I was discuss politics with my Parents..I told them that PDP would win since our state since Okowa is our own..

My Mum refuted in the Market if you talk APC or Pdp ...this insult would be too much ...She said the Market leader was mocked when she tried campaigning for Apc...

Omo that's why I realised that this Obi matter is getting serious

Udu, Uvwie and Warri will swing to Obi. Everyone and everybody I've met are fully Obidient but Urban areas alone can't decide winners. What goes on in those rural areas are mostly undocumented so we shouldn't easily write-off the influence of these major party.

Aiel123:
Agege delivered for Buhari the marginal difference is irrelevant all what matters is a win
I disagree with your last assertion.
PDP will win delta it's just by what margin.
I pretty sure the margin between PDP and the rest will be about 200k upward.

You tend not to realize the influence of LP and its impact in the coming election. Also you should note that a margin of 200k won't be helpful to the PDP in the general election considering the fact that this same state is projected to be a stronghold of the opposition party.

Yes we all agree that PDP is projected to win the state.

highchief1:
lp is very strong now in north because of the closeness to anambra.but pdp will win all elections.

Wining isn't the problem but at what margin? Also the Guber election will be closely contested.

Aiel123:
Don't you think that the nass seats held the same day as the presidential election will affect the outcome of the presidential election result?
And pls clarify how north will be shared btw LP and PDP?

The Urban Towns in North have heavy influx of Easterners who are rooting for LP. Nevertheless, the rural areas will fall completely to the PDP.

The NASS election seat would influence but the influence won't be felt. Let's look at the 2019 results and compare the number Agege pulled in his stronghold vs the number he delivered to Buhari.

Delta state won't deliver anything meaningful to any party. 2 minus 1 minus 1.

Delta North: PDP might get the upper hand, although the margin won't be high because of emergence of LP, but I'm projecting LP to win the Urban areas and the PDP clearing the Rural areas.

Delta South: This region always give unrealistic/unbelievable numbers in every election, but with the crack in the PDP and sudden deal with the boys in the creek, whosoever they "Work" for clears the zone.

Delta Central: Been the most urbanized zone and having Omo-agege as the leading figure, the zone will be heavily shared by the three contesting parties.

My prediction:

PDP: 30-40%
LP: 25-40%
APC: 20-25%

Also note that the our "Son" sentiments won't fly in a state like Delta. It would be a miracle for any party to get 50% of total votes cast.

SE must turn up massively for their son. Play POLITICS!!!!!!

OVB123:
Now, with this political quamire, what is fate of PDP in next year general elections?

Unpredictable lol. But it won't be business as usual.

OVB123:
I b think say d thing less 4 waffi? what is the situation of things btw ibori and okowa?

Situation is tough between them brother. The house seems divided.

OVB123:
Longest time bro. How is Warri today? Hope hunger wey dey fire us 4 BC neva reach Warri and environs?

Hunger na everywhere for naija brother
