ORJI UZOR KALU

Kalu's PPA had 2 States in its control. Today the party have no official in any elective post at all levels.

charlesucheh:
I think Adams Oshiomole did as Labour union president and today, he's enjoying life in Edo state government house a s the governor with his newly wedded damsel. What about that?

Gbam. Adams was a pain in his neck. But it is also true that Oshiomole's beef with OBJ was not personal but for the interest and welfare of Nigerian Workers. The only time OBJ don't forgive when it is personal and political

Why is Jonathan this silent?

I guess he is just interested on how to ensure he and his wife stay out of jail. Kashamu you see your life?

Chappie:
just my 2 cent referendum or war..
Bleep the zoo..
eat your post and poo nigga

Anyone that tell you that dividing Nigeria will be peaceful actually consider you not capable of reasoning. Peaceful division is not possible unless all the parties agree on division. There is no country in the world (Russia, China, US, Britain, France, etc) that will take up the task of dividing Nigeria. None. So don't hold your breath.

Nigeria will remain one.

It is suicidal to confront Obasanjo

maestroz:
broz...you yan true o
eedris abdulkareem became a victim of obj'z pronouncement!

No wonder obj is called EBORA OWU

I still remember that of Eedris. He got lambasted on Presidential Media Chat. The humble immediately.

respectkings:
Lol should i start mentionin?

Start abeg. I know some governors then did and ended up impeached or relevant in the scheme of things politically.

Often time, I had re-framed from certain discussions just to stay from the usual bigotry and supremacy battle I see here. But today I wish to lend a voice and help correct some of the misplaced conceptions that have been championed by those that felt they are more legitimate than others.

The relevance and place of Ndigbo in Nigeria is one that will never be wished away by even the most cynical minds. Like other major ethnic groups in Nigeria (the Hausas, Yorubas and Fulanis), the Igbos are among the pillars that make Nigeria what it is.

It is also my candid believe that none of these ethnic groups will either be able to pull away or exist alone and retain the powerful status that is possible for Nigeria. Therefore the irrelevant quest for an independent nationhood should be disabused and rather we should concentrate on what is useful and important to our people.

Consequently, the question now is what are the way forward. How Ndigbo can be more integrated in the affairs of the Nation for which we are an integral part of. While my list is not comprehensive, the following is my practical suggestions.

1. Self-Awareness And Realization
Ndigbo must fully realize our identity that Nigeria is our one and only country. And also accept we are not limited by anyone’s misconstrued understanding. We must know that like the birth of a child to the family, our citizenship as Nigerians does not limit what we can become as people and individuals. Nigeria is not a zoo as some miscreants will want to brainwash us to believe. Nigeria is our beloved country. We must help build it, make it better and be proud of Nigeria. Unless this is done, we may see ourselves continually treated as guests and strangers in our own country.

2. Preserve Our Heritage
Ndigbo as people, have a very historic and rich cultural heritage that narrates our evolution, transitions, genealogy, language, etc. A well-articulated effort must be made to preserve this heritage. The current efforts have not been enough. All our traditional institutions, States and Local Governments must be drafted to rebrand and promote the Igbo tradition. The challenges of the current effort are hampered because people organizing these events are in it for profit and not because of patriot quest to promote and celebrate the uniqueness and rich complexities of the Igbo traditions.

Also the Igbo Language must be taught at all levels to ensure it get wide usage. It breaks my heart hearing that pupils are punished for speaking Igbo in school. New lexicons must be included in Igbo Language to reflect the terms of the 21st century. Also events must be promoted to celebrate the Igbo language (like Igbo Quiz competitions, Igbo spelling competitions, Igbo Easy Competitions, Igbo Journalism, 24/7 Igbo Radio Stations, etc.)

3. Good Governance And Development Of The South East
Often we heap all the blame of underdevelopment at the centre, which end up giving the States and Local Governments a free pass. We must elect competent individuals in positions of power in Aligbo, to ensure we develop and that our people evolve better. The welfare of our people must be paramount. Those should not be allowed to loot, while the masses languishing in poverty. Nigbo must ensure that these official offer dividends of democracy to the people. Pressure group must be patriotic and desist from selfish tendencies. Those that failed to deliver must be called out.

4. Build Bridges And Love Our Fellow Citizens
Ndigbo must accept and embrace the Hausas, Yorubas, Fulanis, Ijaws, and the over 300 Nigeria ethnic groups as our brothers and fellow countrymen. We should learn from the past, but not allow it to becloud our judgment in how we relate with others. He who is focused in the past will fall into a pit in front of him. We must love our neighbors as ourselves. We have no other country than Nigeria.

5. Collaboration With The Centre
Ndigbo must be part of process and effects to build a better Nigeria. Calling for anarchy and arms against Nigeria will only hamper our prospects of development and keep us in perpetual confrontation with the rest of Nigeria.

Consequently, we must desist from senseless chest beating that is aimed at demeaning people from other parts of the country. We must treat and call others names in a manner we desire to be treated and addressed. Don’t keep silent from correcting others when they engage in activities that is detriment to the fortune of Ndigbo as true citizens of Nigerians.

Finally, I strongly believe in the Nigerian project. Division is dangerous and will bring destruction to lives, properties and the dignity of many across the divide. None of the current problems facing Nigeria will be solved by division alone. Rather we must make concentrated effort to build a better Nigerian that works for everyone.

As we step into a new dispensation in Nigeria’s history, we say no to Sons of Anarchy. And Yes to development, peace, unity and progress.

An illustration of our Presido in 2011, before OBJ had him swim alone in 2015. We all know his story today.

BERNIMOORE:
Ahmed yerima dealt with obasanjo like a mugu baba sidonlook e no fit do yerima anything to stop sharia law

We all get your point. But why the bitterness and hate. Please take it easy because of your vital organs

OBJ is a shameless CIA agent. Always leaking state secret to the homosexual American govt.

^^^Guy na wa for you oooo!

BERNIMOORE:
fayose did Not apologise calling obj an ex convict baba elewon in ile Ife in 2014 November till now If you have proof bring them on

I don't know what you are arguing about. Fayose's apology to OBJ was in 2012 - OBJ because of that facilitated the process that got him reelected again.

As for Fayose's 2015 mess, Fayose is already begging APC.

Forgive Me, Fayose Begs APC

Former Governor of Bayelsa State Diepreye Alamieyeseigha is another politician that got it hard from OBJ. If not Jonathan that granted him pardon (for not snitching on him), Alams would have been dammed politically for life.

BERNIMOORE:
fayose insult obasanjo and call him ex convict and a prisoner, and fayose is even becoming stronger and stronger now

Fayose apologized to OBJ in writing. In fact OBJ was instrumental to his re-admittance into PDP.

Tinubu is also one man that has survived Obasanjo. OBJ even ceased Lagos State LGA funds. Today Tinubu is leading APC the party in charge of FG (6days to go).

BushidoBlue:
11) Thread Derailers: These miscreants derive pleasure from going off topic mainly to be bigoted or to just be a nuisance. All the while avoiding the main topic of the thread.

You will even see those that will keep fighting on off topic issues that have nothing to do with what is discussed.

Am not that much a fan of OBJ, but I have come to discover that there are very few Nigerians who are more vindictive than Obasanjo. Whenever he promised to deal with you, he will make sure it is conclusive.

- He bluntly said Atiku will never become the President of Nigeria. Till date, Atiku's chances is lesser than when OBJ said it.

- Jonathan disappointed him by not sticking to the single term he brokered for him to 2011 election's. Today GEJ is packing his loads out of Aso Rock with any stubbornness.

- Obasanjo has not hidden his interest in Kashamu (the "Alhaji" of Chicago) to be returned to US or UK. Today his house is surrounded by NDLEA.

Add the list of politicians that has had face-to-face and let us know the outcome.

Is this the type of meaningless opposition we are going to endure from PDP?

In the first 100 days in office:
- Buhari should use it to take stock of the assets and liabilities Jonathan is leaving behind.
- Use the period to streamline his agenda in line with the exact reality on ground.
- Determine how much ministries will be merged or slitted for better performance.
- List all the sectors that need to be exploited for a diversified economy.
- Use the same period of the first 100 days in office to fill in all the appointive portfolios in government.
- Prioritize the various Federal Projects based on order of urgency.
- Work with other arms of government to reduce recurrent expenditures.
- Prepare 2016 Budget in line with how he want to run his government.

After these, he can settle down and concentrate in delivering on his promises to Nigerians.

If Fayose is hoping to be Chairman of NGF, not in his lifetime.

This is an interim leadership. After a year, the NGF will elect a new Chairman. Fayose can keep deluding himself with his thuggery, Nigerians do not give a dam.

Without any real additional new job opportunity created, Unemployment Rate is revised. These nuisance is getting alarming. To announce new achievements, all Jonathan has to do is recalculate - Very Funny.

7 more days to end this madness. We need Real Jobs. Not recalculations. Millions of Nigerian youths are unemployed.

Sai Buhari all the way. We can't wait to return Jonathan to Bayelsa.

No be joke o. Na serious wahala when the wife of the president of Nigeria and her entire entourage with the top leadership of the Nigerian armed forces show face to commission 10 sewing machines...

Wetin make Fashola wey commission 30 centers with better facilities do?

This one na elele supar...

Jonathan and his wife are one of a kind. Am glad we kicked them out. I can't imagine another 4yrs with them.

stebell:
Are yu frm Rivers State?? If No then I suggest yu face ur state. Ode.


We wanted Wike and we got him.
@ Barcanista, truth be told. Even if GEJ had won, Wike wud still win. Yu kno why, Dakuku my kinsman was never popular among the electorate. He was banking on the fact that he was anointed by the Judas of Ubima and not the entire Rivers peeps.
I'm happy it happened the way it did.

I believe Wike is coming to wipe out the mess that Judas left behind in Rivers State.
And I read in a thread someone saying Amaechi was to best tin to happen to Rivers State.
Egoat, face ur state.

NEXT!

Pope22:
If GEJ has used his power to manipulate elections like others before him did, u may have been d first person to be killed by boko. U shld praise and thank GEJ for saving ur life instead of droppin trash

He failed, and stepped aside. What else could he have done? Wait till we all drag him through the street down to kirikiri?

It is Jonathan that should be thanking Nigerians for accepting to over look all the criminality of his administration.

Nigerians cannot wait for the failure to vacate office. Even OBJ and Abdusalami will be more popular than him after few years now.

See the lousy campaign materials PDP ran in Rivers State. The Hate campaign of demonizing fellow citizens just for power. And it is pathetic someone find it praise worthy.

Too little, too late. She should also make capital available to those that attend the school. What she stole cannot be exhausted in 10 lifetime.

This must be an attempt at joke

BeeBeeOoh:
had it been GEJ promised us 1 USD to 1 NGN ...............

Keep swimming in this lies and delusions, thinking you are smart.
