Okorocha threatens to dethrone partisan monarchs

BY CHIDI NKWOPARA, Owerri
Imo State Governor, Chief Rochas Okorocha, has warned that he would not hesitate to dethrone any recognized traditional ruler in the state found to be engaging in partisan politics or residing away from his domain.

Okorocha read the riot act at Multi Purpose Hall, Government House, Owerri while swearing in the reconstituted leadership of the State Council of Traditional Rulers.

“Any traditional ruler found to be engaging in partisan politics or residing away from his domain would be summarily dethroned”, Okorocha warned.

The Governor, who was particularly irked that the dignity and respect of the royal fathers have been greatly reduced in the state as a result of their participation in partisan politics, however vowed to flush out the bad eggs among the royal fathers.

He reminded royal fathers that he has respect for the traditional stool, adding that he expects royal fathers to respect their position in society and distance themselves from partisan politics.

The Governor tasked traditional rulers to choose between living and discharging their responsibilities to their people and living outside their domain and getting sacked.

“We can no longer afford the luxury of desecrating the traditional stool. Our traditional rulers are no longer in bondage. They should feel free to discharge their roles in their communities and this is part of the rescue mission of this administration”, Okorocha said.

Vanguard recalls that the traditional ruler of Obi Orodo, Eze Sam Ohiri, was named Chairman of the State Council of Traditional Rulers, while the three zonal chairmen are Eze Emmanuel Okeke, Orlu Zone, Eze Chiadi Okoro, Owerri Zone and Eze Matthew Onweni, Okigwe Zone.

Sagamite:
If you see anywhere he has "handled himself" please, please, please highlight it by backing him up. 

Me "back up" Eko Ile? You must be joking.

I am actually enjoying the back and forth between you two.

If I said what Ileke-Idi said about an ACN chieftain, I would have been banned quickly.   

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This situation is horrible. Okorocha must deal with these murderers harshly!

I need to subscribe to this thread. Never knew that Eko Ile could handle himself in an argument. Even though Sagamite is debating people within different threads.

Sicherheit:
Paying the Federal Minister of FINANCE of the country NIGERIA in American DOLLARS?

Who cares? Dollars are the international standard.

I really wished she had that power. Someone must stop his quest to Islamicize the banking system!

JAMB releases 2011 UTME results, says 842,851 candidates score below 200 marks

By Chris Ochayi   

ABUJA – The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has disclosed that a total of 2, 892 candidates scored 300 marks and above in its 2011 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, conducted nationwide last week Saturday.

Besides, a total of 1,493,604 candidates who sat for the UTME examination are seeking for admission into the 500, 000 available spaces in the nation’s tertiary institutions.

Given the breakdown of candidates’ performance, today in Abuja, the Registrar of JAMB, Professor ‘Dibu Ojerinde said, “while 842, 851 candidates scored below 200 marks, 495,426 candidates scored between 200-249 and 67,732 scored between 250-269 as well as 31, 444 others, who scored between 270-299 marks.”

Out of this, the JAMB according him, is currently investigating the results of 7, 504 candidates, from some centres which he said are suspicious, and so the results must undergo further screening because of the unusual performances recorded by candidates from those centre.

He stated further that a total of 15, 160, representing 1.014 % of candidates, who participated in the examination were involved in exam malpractices.

On the issue of invalid and incomplete results that characterized the conducted of the exercise last year, Prof. Ojerinde announced a remarkable reduction from 82,000 cases in 2010 to 28, 069 in this 2011 exercise.

According to him, “this figure, 28,069, although is a remarkable reduction in the previous one. It still remains high. In the years ahead, we will further bring down the figure drastically. Our target is to totally eliminate this phenomenon by drumming it to our examiners to do checks on candidates during the examinations.”

Further analysis of the application by gender showed that 55.78% applicants are males while 44.22% candidates are females. These figures showed that 660,522 candidates are females while 833,082 are males.

While a  total of 200 visually impaired candidates sat for the exams, 197 prisoners from mainly Kaduna State and Ikoyi Prison in Lagos State sat for the 2011 UTME exams. Imo State has highest number of applicants in the exams as the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, got the least applicant.

Prof Ojerinde asked candidates who sat for the examination to check their results on-line using JAMB scratch cards.

Ojerinde who said the results were posted on-line by 12.00 pm (today)Friday, said, the results are on the internet, as I am speaking with you. He advised that, “candidates do not need to buy any scratch card, but can utilize the scratch card earlier used during registration for the exam.

Lucifa2015:
Make una bend over, una Master don give instruction, Batty Bwoys!

I dey laugh o!

Boom bye bye!

What to do about Dame Patience? I hope she doesn't frustrate Aunty Ngozi like she did to Governor Amaechi.

Now we need to rid of Sanusi before he messes up the banking sector with this Islamic banking.

namfav:
i think that sanusi is a better candidate for presidency from all the economists in nigeria, just listen to when he speaks, when ngozi was minister of foreign affairs she didn't do too much right and showed little authority she ran the ministry like a kitchen, sulking is not a good trait in politics, dr mansour is also a good shout for future presidency, by the way thesemen are way younger than her another older head that i would settle with is shamsuddeen just for his honesty and his authority, nigeria is not liberia, we are not ready for a female president, yet

The world thinks otherwise.

Musiwa,.:
there is no oil from satellite in abia state , which is her husband state of origin, but she kept on paying abia state oil derivation. I laugh in Igbo.

There is oil in Abia state in the Ukwa areas. But that is another topic.

Isn't buzugee half Igbo and half Yoruba?

I cannot say what I want to say, because both a mod and the owner of this website have both sent me private warnings.

Don't you see people provoking the Ndigbo in this thread!

Yet you enjoy sending me warnings!

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-695042.224.html#msg8584296

Watch the mod send me another warning or ban me even though I am not mocking another person's group unlike these fools. 

pleep:
Tom28 had a good point about the white Jesus statues in eastern NigeriaN catholic churches though. That stuff brainwashes young children. 

And what color is your Jesus. Who are you trying to fool? Many of us seen this same white Jesus in the South-West.

Like we Igbos have said, you do not see us worshiping anybody. That goes for anyone.

Our culture is over a thousand years old and we see each person as EQUAL.

afam4eva:
I'm boiling right now. Why i'm i just coming across this thread. This Germans think they can bring their racism to our country and go scot free. What is the government doing about this report. This is racial profiling.

I support those that said that this can't happen in a majority Igbo company. I've always complained to why Igbos seem kinda disrespectful which is relative. Now, i actually think that's what this wicked world needs. NO white man born of another white man can try such a thing and go scott free in Igboland. In Igboland every human being is equal. That's why you don't see us worshipping Igwes like it's done in other parts of Africa. Any Igwe that does not know where his compound stops will be severely dealt with.

I think the delta state government and the federal government should take an action with immediate effect. Chimeke ekwele ihe ojo. Tufiakwa.

Thank you for speaking the truth.

This abomination is unheard of in Igboland.

Okonkwo's blood run through our veins. 

And you have some foolish posters in this thread who says we worship these oyibos. Tufiakwa!

ThiefOfHearts:
abeg read the blog and quit butchering our language.

I dey vex for you o!

Irritating woman. . .

ThiefOfHearts:
*shrugs* It's the truth.

They cant take a joke whatsoever. Everything is literal

Btw thanks for proving my point  

Kuroni'waju mi!  

OAM4J:
^IMO, the woman is far more competent than our sitting president. I wish the president can be made a ceremonial president whose job should only be to read prepared speeches and allow this woman to run government.

1025:
can't jonathan for the sake of the poor masses of this country hand over to this woman so that she can change things in this country.

God bless you all. She probably knows how to tackle the Boko Haram problem better than our clueless president.

afam4eva:
Are you back in Nigeria already?

I am leaving for Nigeria in July.

ThiefOfHearts:
Yorubas are obviously better at sarcasm than your brothers

Kilo ndamu e?

You want to start again. . .

ThiefOfHearts:
Eze, you must be confusing Sefago with Calculia

Kantan kantan leyi!

[b]SEFAGO [/b]is an oyibo arse kisser. Everyone in this sections know it.

How he brags about only dating Oyibo women and how all his friends are oyibo.

Eyi oda!

Who defends the onyeocha?

I know I do not.

Some of the most "Afrocentric" posters are Igbo. Sun of god and Ikegawo.

Now [b]SEFAGO [/b]is one of the biggest oyibo arse kissers on Nairaland.

EzeUche!:
He further charge the HRH, Eze Samuel Ohiri led-state Council of Traditional Rulers to ensure that Igbo language was spoken in all the state ministries, primary and secondary schools in the state.

Now this is beautiful!

The most critical of Nnamdi Azikiwe are mostly Igbo I must say. Look at some of my past threads about him, and I have been very critical of him.

But then again, if you travel around the continent, most people speak of Nnamdi Azikiwe. Another person that is often mentioned is Obasanjo for some reason.

And a few people in West Africa mention Uthman dan Fodio.

^^^

I am watching and I am liking him more than ever.

Let him continue to transform Owerri and I will gladly leave Port Harcourt for Owerri.

Abiola Sr was definitely a crook.

He cheated Nigerian citizens out of millions due to his shoddy phone lines.
