Running away from Syria. Should we enter Lebanon or enter Iraq?

Maybe the baby has Up Syndrome.

Who listens to these garbage that they have written will think they really care about the people of Nnewi South. Lies upon Lies. They all just want to have a bigger opportunity to continue their endless looting and self enrichment.

Most Nigerians are Criminals and Fraudsters.

Stakeholders from Nnewi South Local Government Area of Anambra State have unanimously called for equity, fairness, and an all-inclusive approach ahead of the by-election to fill the vacant seat of the Anambra South Senatorial Zone in the National Assembly.

It would be recalled that the Anambra South Senatorial Zone has stayed for more three months now without a Senator in the National Assembly, following the passing of the former senator representing the Zone, Senator Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah, whose sudden death occurred on July 27.

However, as plans for the by-election to fill vacant seat left by Senator Ubah are underway, the stakeholders from Nnewi South, one of the seven local government areas that make up the Anambra South Senatorial District, have raised voices and concerns, calling for fairness and equity in filling the vacant seat.

The stakeholders, in recent meeting which also featured discussions on concerns about power rotation within the District, articulated their demand for a balanced distribution of federal political representation across the seven Local Government Areas (LGAs) that comprise the Anambra South Senatorial District.

In a statement issued at the end of the meeting, the stakeholders emphasized that Nnewi South has long suffered from a glaring absence of federal representation, despite being equally populous and significant as other local government areas in Anambra State.

The statement endorsed by prominent community leaders and political figures from the local government area highlighted that, while other local government areas, such as Ihiala and Aguata, boast representatives in the House of Representatives and have historically produced key political figures, including governors, Nnewi South remains marginalized.

“The current political landscape of Anambra South is unbalanced. While each of the other six local government areas in our zone have representation at the federal level — either in the House of Representatives or in the Senate — or governorship position; Nnewi South has been left out with nothing,” the statement partly read.

Continuing, it read: “Ekwusigo LGA has a sitting Federal House member, representing the Nnewi North/Nnewi South/Ekwusigo Federal Constituency.

“Ihiala has a Federal Constituency of its own and has also produced a Governor, in the person of ex-Governor Chinwoke Mbadinuju.

“Orumba North and South also have a Federal Constituency. Also, Aguata has both a Federal Constituency and currently holds the position of the Governor of Anambra State.

“Nnewi North has produced both Senator and House of Reps member. The late Senator Ubah and the immediate past House of Reps member came from Nnewi. And Nnewi currently holds the position of a Minister.

“But in all these, Nnewi South has none, which is not fair or justifiable in any sense of it.”

The statement also hinted that Nnewi South has the same number of (20) wards as Ihiala and Aguata respectively; but while each of the two local government areas has its own Federal Constituency, Nnewi South has none.

“Where is Nnewi South in the political representation of Anambra South?” the statement rhetorically asked, emphasizing the dire need to address these longstanding disparities and political inequalities.

While reechoing their sorrow over the death of Senator Ubah, the Nnewi South Stakeholders, in the statement, however, argued that the upcoming by-election to fill the Anambra South Senatorial seat presents an opportunity to correct the imbalance, to ensure that every part of Anambra South has a voice at the federal level and in the National Assembly.

They called on all political parties, leaders, and the wider community to support their demand, stressing that fairness and equity are fundamental pillars of a democratic society.

In no particular order, the statement was jointly signed by former Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism, Chief Maja Umeh; former President-General of Ukpor and former senatorial aspirant, Chief Emma Nwachukwu; the Chairman/CEO of Zara Stores Ltd., and MD/CEO of Anambra Rice Mill Ltd. (makers of Anambra Rice and Stine Rice), Chief Akai Egwuonwu; the Minority Leader, Anambra State House of Assembly and Member representing Nnewi South Constituency 2 in the House, Hon. Johnbosco Akaegbobi; the Nnewi South Chairman of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), Hon. Azubuike Osuchukwu.

Others include: the member representing Nnewi South Constituency 1 in the State House of Assembly, Hon. Chuddy Atuchukwu; former Transition Committee Chairman for Nnewi South Local Government Area, Hon. Engr. Chieloka Okoye; the Anambra State Commissioner for Environment, Hon. Engr. Felix⁠ Odimegwu, PhD; the newly-elected Chairman for Nnewi South, Hon. Van George Ezeogidi; former member representing Nnewi South Constituency 1 in the State House of Assembly, Hon Barr. Kingsley Iruba; the current member representing Nnewi South Constituency 1 in the State House of Assembly, Hon. Sunny Ozobialu; the MD/CEO, Chisco Group, Chief Chidi Anyaegbu; APGA Stalwart, Chief Chinedu Duke Anyachor.

Why did these Cowards not come up with this nonsense petition when Ifeanyi Ubah was still alive?

Random thoughts:

1.) If this is the way you view women, you don't actually like women. You love men.

2.) This kind of woman is wonderful, and if you think like op, you don't deserve her.

3.) Ladies, refusing to be intimate is a good way to weed out bums.

You missed the point.

Without Sex, you are not in a Relationship. You are simply in Friendship.

ATTENTION TO ALL OUR ASPIRANTS.

In case you don't know the root cause of our problems today, please take time out and read below:

As of 23/04/2022, the exchange rates were:

£1 = ₦783
$1 = ₦560
€1 = ₦670

42 years ago, precisely on 23/04/1980 the exchange rate was:
$1 = 0.78k

Are you surprised?

Well, we were far more productive in 1980 than we are today.

In 1980 the key reasons for economic growth were as follows:

1. We were a net exporter of refined petroleum products. Today we import all our refined petroleum products.

2. We rode in locally assembled cars, buses and trucks. Peugeot cars in Kaduna and Volkswagen cars in Lagos.

3. Leyland produced trucks/buses in Ibadan and ANAMCO in Enugu also produced buses and trucks.

4. Steyr in Bauchi produced our Agricultural tractors. And it was not just Assembly, we were producing many of the components:

5. Vono products in Lagos produced the vehicle seats.

6. Exide in Ibadan produced the batteries, not just for Nigeria but for the entire West Africa.

7. IsoGlass and TSG in Ibadan produced the windshields.

8. Ferrodo in Ibadan produced the brake pads and discs

9. Dunlop produced Tyres in Lagos and Mitchelin Tyres were produced in Port Harcourt. And I mean tyres produced from rubber plantations located in Ogun, Bendel and Rivers State.

10. We were listening to Radio and watching television sets assembled in Ibadan by Sanyo.

11. We were using refrigerators, freezers and Airconditioners produced by Thermocool and Debo.

12. We were putting on clothes produced from the UNTL Textile Mills in Kaduna and Chellarams in Lagos. They were Not from imported cotton but from cotton grown in Nigeria.

13. Our water was running through pipes produced by Kwalipipe in Kano and Duraplast in Lagos .

14. Our toilets were fitted with WC produced in Kano and Abeokuta.

15 We were cooking with LPG gas stored inside gas cylinders produced at the NGC factory in Ibadan.

16. Our electricity was flowing through cables produced by the Nigerian Wire and Cable, Ibadan; NOCACO in Kaduna and Kablemetal in Lagos and Port Harcourt.

17. We had Bata and Lennards Stores producing the shoes we were putting on. The shoes were not from imported leather but from locally tanned leather in Kaduna.

18. We were mainly flying our Airways, (the Nigeria Airways), to most places in the world. The Nigeria Airways was about the biggest in Africa at the time.

19. Most of the foods we ate were grown or produced in Nigeria.

We were producing all of the above and many more in 1980

Today, we import almost everything. Isn't that alarming?

There lies the source of the terrible exchange rate we are experiencing today and everyone reading this has a critical role to play in reversing this very UGLY trend.

We have been talking about these problems and more for ages.

It is not enough for us to complain about the exchange rate or point out what others are not doing or are failing to do. The key questions are:

1. What are we producing now?
2. What role are our so- called Leaders/ Politicians of today playing?

We are forever shying away from responsibility whereas it is a stack reality and if we don't deal with it, it won't go away. In fact it will get worse.

To our dear Politicians, if you don't have the capacity to RESET Nigeria to what it was at least back in 1980 then please stay in your house and don't waste our time.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH !!!

Please share widely on all platforms for Nigerians especially youths to know the critical role to play with the fixing of Nigeria.

Some men are sick here on nairaland. After watching these kids grew up in your very eyes, If you could still be having any sexual sensation, sexual appeal or erection for these grown-up teens, then you're the type that can likely sleep with your biological daughters.

You were once a kid, now an adult.

So why do you think they will remain kids forever?
Or you think that lady you are presently having sex with was not once a kid?

Face Reality.
