The people behind these topics are paid to do this, even mods are involved too. The sole aim is to give false impression that the people are with APC, there by preparing ground for mass rigging. I am from Edo central, Irrua precisely and I can say authoritatively APC as a party is dead in that region

Ok. Thenk yu. We don hear.

September 19th is a few weeks away.

micflo28:
Oshiomhole in Edo is like Buhari in the North. No matter his many sins, they still love him above all.

The surprising thing is that Edo people are more loyal to Oshiomhole rather than Obaseki. Feelers from the state show that Edolites are not happy with what happened to their son, Oshiomhole at the federal level and they are bent on disgracing him (Obaseki) on Sept 19th this year.

From whatever angle you look at it, Obaseki can not win the governorship elections.

Africonji:
If Atiku leaves PDP it will be the best opportunity for igbo Presidency. I hope he decamp out of the party to give Ndigbo a chance to produce the President for a change.

No major political party would give its presidential ticket to an Igbo as far as 2023 is concerned. Which ever party that does that is an automatic loser.

Nnamdi Kanu has seen to that.

NWAFOR ORIZU: CROOK, CONVICT TURNED SENATE PRESIDENT
Dr. Abyssinia Akweke Nwafor Orizu (1920-1999) being a crook should never have held any political office had Nigeria been a proper country.
In 1946, Orizu presided over a new form of heartless fraud. Families and whole villages in the East sold their possessions to send a single student from their village to university because like Awolowo, they were passionate about the benefit of a good education.
Orizu, a PhD holder, formed an agency, American Council on African Education (ACAE) to process these village students' admission into American universities. He collected the maintenance funds from their parents and other sponsors and diverted them partly or totally to other personal and business schemes.
In 1947, two prominent African-America
ns Alain Locke and George Schulyer resigned over Orizu’s conduct of affairs.
Horace Mann Bond, the African-American president of Lincoln University in Pennsylvania who provided Orizu’s agency with many tuition-free scholarships complained regularly and bitterly about Orizu’s failure to financially support the students whom Orizu had placed in his school.
The 32-year-old Orizu was found out and on the 2nd of February 1953, he was arrested.
Nnamdi Azikiwe, Mbonu Ojike, and Kola Balogun went to bail him out. On 9th February, his brother Joseph Onyekusi Orizu was arrested in Gusau and taken to Port Harcourt.
On 12th February both brothers were charged in a statement that read:
“That you between May 1, 1946, and December 31, 1951, at Port Harcourt, in the Port Harcourt Magisterial District, conspired together with other persons unknown to defraud such person as might be induced to deposit money with you as officers and agents of a body known as the American Council on African Education Incorporated, and you thereby committed an offence punishable under the Criminal code.”
When their lawyer told the court that Orizu was an honourable man, a PhD holder, a royal Prince in Nnewi, a member of the regional legislature, and also Azikiwe’s nominee for Minister of Local Government, Magistrate Dickson retorted:
''This court is not a department under the Government and it is not subject to any political party.”
Orizu was later jailed for 7 years. On Tuesday 22nd September 1953, he arrived at the Lagos Prison by train under escort to serve his term.
At the House of Commons debate of April 29, 1953, James Johnson the MP for Kingston upon Hull West berated Oliver Lyttelton, the Secretary of Colonies for taking so long to arrest the Orizu brothers:
“Is not it somewhat disgraceful that it has taken so long to investigate this case of defrauding parents and students? Hence allowing him to cause untold hardship to his own people?''
The logic behind the rule was that the government was a sacred job; if crooks were allowed to determine the destiny of the people, the people would suffer indefinitely.
Mbonu Ojike, Nnamdi Azikiwe and Ozumba Mbadiwe started to entrench the false narrative that Orizu was convicted by the British colonial government not for embezzlement but as a revenge for his fiery anti-colonial speech given at the 1947 Enugu Coal riots rally.
Never mind that more important figures such as H.O. Davies also gave fiery speeches at the rally too but were not fraudsters hence not fated for conviction by the colonial government. But in the case of Orizu, colonialism became the excuse for a crook to be turned into a national hero.
Azikiwe made Orizu whole by nominating him unopposed to represent Nnewi in the Federal elections of 1959 that ushered in self-rule.
The existence of colonialism provided Nigeria’s moral system the perfect excuse to develop and strengthen the disdain for the objective perception of value on which any civilised society must rest. When colonialism expired in 1960, the disdain remained alive and thriving through the force of habit.
In 1961 for instance, Dr. Okejukwu Ikejiani the Pro-Chancellor of the University of Ibadan was caught lying about a certificate he never had.
A visiting scholar from the University of Toronto who happened to be from the same department which allegedly awarded Ikejiani’s certificate was the first to point out that Ikejiani never had that esteemed Doctor of Science degree.
Ibadan erupted and there were calls for Ikejiani to resign and be prosecuted. To Azikiwe who was the Head of State, the visitor to the university and in charge of such appointments, Ikejiani was being “persecuted” because he, Azikiwe, had dared to appoint another Igbo after Francis Ibiam as the Pro-chancellor and head of the governing council of a flagship Federal University in a non-Igbo region in particular when the Vice-Chancellor was already an Igbo.
Before departing Toronto University where he rightly earned his undergraduate medical degree, Ikejiani seduced and frequently unhooked the lovely secretary at the Vice-Chancellor’s office until she embossed a Doctor of Science certificate in his name complete with authentic signatures but with no education behind it.
After the Toronto University investigation into the matter, the secretary realised her wrongdoing and quietly accepted her dismissal. But that was Canada.
In Nigeria, one of the criteria of eligibility for being considered a national hero was to be a bonafide crook.
When Ikejiani was forced to finally resign, being a medical doctor, Azikiwe made him whole like Orizu by appointing him to the State House as one of his personal physicians. He was not done: Azikiwe then reappointed him again to his former unfilled post less than two years later. He still was not done: In 1964, Azikiwe decorated him with the national honour – Commander of the Order of the Niger (CON) – pun unintended – ‘for his service to the nation.’

MrOjay1:
What is Mr.Bullion van's name doing there?

This country loves celebrating criminals.

I have a document that shows that Charles Nwafor Oritzu stole Millons of pounds belonging to common men, tried and jailed in the fifties.

He was later manipulated to the position of sanate presidency by Azikiwe (as part of the spoils of the master/slave relationship that existed at the time between Fulani Lords and their Igbo slaves)

No court has convicted Tinubu and therefore not a thief unlike Nwafor Oritzu who served jail time, released and served as Senate president.

If you prompt me, I'll upload the document I mentioned so that you can weep for your ancestor.

First of all am not ibo. That said, you sound like someone who promotes instability. There is honor in queuing for instance at a banking hall. Imagine when it is left for who can out-maneuver one other. Think bro. Think with your God-given brain. Nigeria will turn chaotic with such Tinubu promotion.

I am not I'm any way promoting instability in the nation's political arrangement. I know and understand what you mean and what is normal.

However, everything said, don't you think it is against natural justice for APC to hand its presidential ticket to the southeast? This is a party the south Easterners hate with a deep passion. You ought to know that the south Easterners would vote against such an Igbo APC candidate. I hope you note that they regard their people in APC as traitors and betrayals.

No political party can ever take that risk.

Be that as it may, going by the fact that the predecessor of Buhari, GEJ is from the south south, which of the zones from southern Nigeria should get the presidential ticket for 2023 elections. Or you would rather it goes back to the north? It would be interesting to know your response.

Please note that I did not mention any aspirant's name, you did. All I know is that APC presidential ticket is already on its way to the south west but I don't know the individual that would get it

If it is true Mr Tinubu has presidential ambition, then he deserves to be probed and jailed. How can someone knowingly want to destabilize a whole nation? We all know that for stability, a man or woman from the eastern region of the country must succeed Mr Buhari.
Therefore, the patriotic action expected of a man of Mr Tinubu’s political status is to openly campaign and support any Easterner of his choice. Any contrary action by Tinubu spells doom for him, his household and probably the entire nation.

Let the south east beg PDP, their beloved political party to give them its presidential ticket. Note that I said "beg" because the south east can not win the ticket in a contest. You know the reason.

Thereafter, let the Igbo PDP candidate contest the general elections with the south westerner that the APC will present. The APC will never give its ticket to the Igbo. You know the the reason.

Let us solve this superiority battle once and for all.

CilicMarin:
OAM4J as you have closed my thread, can you push this one to the front page asap?

I observed that your thread was actually closed and I really do not know why somebody should do that.

I hope it is not what I'm thinking. I believe all members should be able to post any information if is true.

kestor:
The same place I have been chilling out since about 8:30am where the only thing people are chanting is 4 + 4= Torgba? True, some APC thugs were there to cause trouble, but they met their match in the PDP thugs who had been empowered today, and sadly so, by the security agents.
Stop this debauchery, it's very puerile. We're not all strangevrs in Edo.

"Edo" man. Please upload a video or at least a picture to prove what you just typed.

The video I saw featured young and middle aged Edo indegens (going by their accent).

We all know your modus operandi - tell lies repeatedly so much so that normal persons will start to doubt the truth.

Edo man, try and upload the video where the protesters (who disgraced the outgoing governor of Edo state) were dispersed by the police

Victorking11:
Federal government should please open school

So that there would be a spike in reported cases like in Oyo state. People deserve the government they get. Oyo state people, enjoy you gofnor.

[quote author=utenwuson post=92041936]Campaign going on with massive crowds everywhere, yet they won't allow tertiary institutions to open cos of the useless audio covid 19.

If government owned tertiary won't open cos of the useless ASUU, at least open privates universities to operate.

Oshiomole is shameless, campaigning for the same man he lambasted just four years ago with unprintable names is just weird to me....

You called him a thief, a looter, armed robber, cultists, rapist, finished law and never a lawyer, acid pourer.... And you still got the effrontery, the audacity, the temerity to raise his hand in shame simply because you want to lord over a state.....

Go n die [/quote

How did you feel when Obasanjo campaigned for your Atiku in 2019.

What Oshiomhole is doing is Nigerian brand of politics and it will be with us for some time.

The conveners of this good platform should convince the PDP to hand over its presidential ticket to an Igbo person, mam or woman. The Igbo have actually slaved for the party with shhep like followership since 1999. They even followed the party to the grave in 2015.

As for the APC, they should not expect to get any appreciable consideration since it is party of "almajiris" and "zombies". Our Igbo brethren are full of wisdom, thus they can not have anything to do with " almajiris " and "zombies"

If a president of Igbo extraction (abi wetin you call am) does not emerge in 2023, they should hold PDP responsible after all these years of loyalty. Haba!

[quote author=EastGold post=91994551]Anybody against Tinubu is Igbo.

Aláìnírònú somebody [/quote

The fact that anybody speaks Yoruba language does not mean that he/she is a Yoruba.

The south west is a very large refugee camp for economic refugees from the south east, Mr "east gold". Your moniker easily betrays your origin.

We true Yoruba have a deep love and respect for our elders and leaders.

Ngige himself was once an economic refugee in Victoria island where he was squatting with a family in an apartment in 1004 estate.

Alex9999:
Just like Kalu and Ngige.

You don't have to respond to the comments of a frustrated man whose life has been destroyed by narcotics. By responding I their comments, you are giving them an undue attention.

Inkling:
Orji is shooting at something... I guess 2023

Seeing Gbaja, Tinibu stooge it means agreement is being reached.

Tinubu is undecided about 2023 because of social media rants. He literarily read all news from various news outlets in Nigeria himself or have someone assigned to summarize it for him.

Tinubu may not contest in 2023 election

The social media rantings (as you rightly describe them) did not stop Buhari two times. Definitely they will not stop Tinubu if he decides to contest for the presidency.

There is a whole lot of difference between social media rantings - including all manner of fake news - and reality on the ground.

NaijaRoyalty:
Kalu is obviously the next President of Nigeria .

Those you call "afonjas" and "almajiris" will not vote for Igbo. Nigerians would not vote for people that refer to their country as a zoo. Apc would never give its ticket to a group of people who hate the party. Any political party that presents an Igbo is doomed. Nnamdi Kanu has sealed this.

All the same, politics is a game of iinterest and numbers. A power block is only making an attempt to enlist OUK into their fold, nothing more than that.

Simplyleo:
But is this truly in Anambra?

Because the Anambra people we know are very rich. I understand everybody in Anambra owns at least 2 mansions.

This is in addition to at least 4 to 5 duplexes in Lagos owned by each which they give out to afonjas for rentage.

So, it is obvious any Anambra man cannot kill because of even 100m, impossible.

I feel you bro. What a nice satire.

In the real sense, those that have relocated out of that poverty enclave are more reasonable, humble and accommodating than the ones left behind in their caves.

It is those left behind in acute poverty (like this man who would rather kill because of one thousand naira) that are causing problems every where - Naira land included

Believe me, the wealthy or rich ones who have sizeable properties in civilized parts of the country hate the ipob rats with a deep passion.

We should investigate the relationship between poverty and agitation for 'the online republic"

Deputy1111:
What has he stolen from you?

What does the pig have that csm be stolen?

Good project for a land locked state/zone.

If corruption does not derail the prooject (as usual), we hope all cargoes would soon be flown directly to the east thereby reducing the pressure on infrastructure in the south west. I earnestly look forward to those days where developers will start to develop their poorest zone of southern Nigeria.

There is no where in the world where power is served a la carte. All those that want power will struggle, coerce, persuade or scheme to get it.

If the Igbo believe it is their turn to have power they should struggle for it in any political party of their choice.

It is as simple as that.

NaijaRoyalty:
Zombie, have you been paid your N-Power N30k stipend for June?

The zombies collecting 30k stipend from Buhari are spread all over 774 local government areas of Nigeria, including all the local government areas of the poorest region of southern Nigeria.

This means zombies are everywhere in Nigeria.

Kriss216:
Ambode is still a coward!

Very soon you'd know that Ambode is not a coward but a very calculative individual who took the most expedient decision at a crisis point in his political career.

Unlike chest beaters who do not have the wisdom to take expedient steps when they become necessary. An example was the suicide mission that some ignoramuses embarked upon between 1967 and 1970 in the name of 'fighting for their right'

It takes only an idiot to still nurse the hope that obaseki would have a second term as Edo state governor. On the contrary, Ambode is on the way to the Senate of the Federal republic of Nigeria. It is only a matter of time for the vermins from 'that side' to know that everything is not achieved by force or brigandage.

For the information of ipobs on this platform, I wish to state boldly that YORUBA NATION WOULD EXIT NIGERIA WHENEVER THEY WISH, WITHOUT ANY APPRECIABLE CASUALTY unlike some people who lost three million lives in a senseless mission just because they 'were not cowards'

deboysben:
Why is ffk against his tribesmen?

Good question.

He is against his people because he is not a bastard. He is a true son of his father the traitor. His father was against his people and got the reward befitting a traitor on 15th January 1966.

Fani kayode, just like his father would die and will not have a grave like his father after his miserable and drug - ruined life.

Nature is never kind to people like him.

aremso:
You graduated from which school? That certificate should be withdrawn from you else, you cant get job anywhere in the world you dont have single sense at all.

Why are you talking like this? Dem dey go school?

Seriously, an average person from that side doesn't go to school. Spare part shops, drug trafficking (like the Pakistan case trending on line), baby factory operations, armed robbery, kidnapping are the vocation that have kept them out of school.

Thus, they can not reason better than what you are observing. You can not give more than what you have.

Hello all, please I need to know a rough estimate of the amount required to rent a pen at oke aro pig farm in Ogun state.

Nooel1:
Just take a friendly trip to third mainland bridge and look below, there you'll find the real pigs........Òmò Oluabi's doing what they know how to do best.

At least they are dong it on their own soil. You too should go home to your barren and cursed land to do what you like.

It is only people who have not been to the sad east that will take your hypocritical rantings about other people's environmental serious.

The environment of the sad east is awful to say he least.

May his soul find repose. He brought a lot of laughter to viewers in the days of 'village headmaster'

The Nigerian entertainment industry will surely miss him.

Gradually, the veterans are departing the scene leaving behind those who believe that they have to dress half naked on set to be a star.

GboyegaD:
Hmmm...despite the audio money spent on Healthcare, our hospital infrastructures are nothing to write home about. To those who think COVID19 isn't real, I pray they do not experience the sickness first hand before they understand the reality of the disease.

Really?

I think since they believe in 'seeing is believing', they should quickly contract the virus so that they would stop misinforming others if they survive the disease.

Those that claim that the virus is fake and nonexistent are the loud mouths who think every thing in life is about politics.
