There is a high chance that the so called jobs is long gone and has already been filled months ago by unqualified cousins, nephews, in-laws, friends of a good friend etc.

jbaur24:
The highlighted is the reason why I said you are still very far from facing realities. Our problems at this level of our development are not those stuffs you listed but roads, light, water and food on our table. An average Nigerian or African does not have the need yet for Fibrotic and all those hightech stuff you have mentioned.

Face realities of our time biko..

South African you are dreaming of overtaking their economy, already has those things. But, typical you're still talking the usual- "our level of development" mantra. If you have money, you don't have to wait to be 300 years old to have something as simple as broadband for a country that sell millions of crude in barrels, every single day.
When America was still at this level of your development, their president still go to work on a bicycle but yours has 8 fleets of aircraft at his disposal.
If left for people like you, I am sure that Africans also may be deemed not be ripe for simple mobile phone network.

TRASH!

Must you comment? This is Nigeria, go back to exile and remain in your America or Congo where you are more or less a slave..

Check out the real meaning of the word "slave" first, then come back, we can then have a proper and serious adult chat. I don't abuse people because they have a varied opinion, I discuss issues with them, even when we sharply disagrees. Have a good life.

Nnewi1stSon: @Topic if Obi can complete the shopping mall, @ Nnewi then my people would have fared better under his administration than any other. I just pray the next governor focuses more on dualising urban roads, the roads in Nnewi(All single lanes) are so narrow, that a little accident will cause unneccesary hold up for hours.

You are right in your sentiment but, no modern and serious govt got its role set as building shopping mall or McDonald/KFC chicken restaurant, that is the work of private people who want to invest their cash to make money.

In this 21st century, people should no longer talk about building roads as a target for achievement for any politician. Road, light and water are necessities of life, so its a priority of all levels of govt to provide them for the public fund in their care, not of thank you "sir" for giving us what we are entitled to have in the first place and with our collective wealth.

How many time do we go and heap praises on the presidents of our town unions across Igboland, for using the money we all contributed to execute a desired projects like roads, water, electricity, hospitals, civic centres, erosion control measures, schools etc? So why do people do the opposite on the politicians with your own money they spend without even accounting for?

People should should by now start to demand things like fibrotic broadband possibilities that help and drives modern business and in turn creates thousands of job, total digitally network possibilities. Start to demand first class well equipped 21st century hospitals where diseases like cancer, organ transplant, amputation, diabetes can be paid a closer attention and with an easy access to everybody, free compulsory breast cancer test to every woman over 21 years of age, and prostrate cancer test for men over 55. But today million die each over mosquito bites.

After 100 years of existence, Nigerians deserve a nation with a speed train network to all major cities and a standard train network to every single town.
But what do we get, people hailing a dimwit giving a pickup truck like a father Christmas after 8 years, with billions of public money at his disposal.

jbaur24: Truly a silent achiever..

When the chips are down, we shall know the real 'progressives'..

Your both ideas of silent and achiever, I don't know which is more laughable or is it Peter Obi grand gesture of a pickup truck paid from his personal pocket (?)with a crowd bigger than those watching Somalian women football league match.

Some of you should wake up to the fact that the world is changing fast and people all over the world are wising up to certain idiocy easily accepted many years ago.

Using his office and power to join the call for confederation, regional police and make it happened, will serve his people more than a meaningless pickup truck to group of thugs that will be driving about in it.

I use to taunt francophone Africans in the past, whenever I see them wearing clothes printed image of their dictators on it, never will I ever envisage that thee will come a time it will reach homeland, courtesy of OBJ who introduced it into Nigerian politic cycle.
The days of mere vest with their image on it has gone, it now its printed image of useless bunch of thieves parading as leaders that our people will be wearing and some goon has audacity calling them silent achievers.

If and when Nigeria decide to call it a day. I can promise you that the exercise won't be an experiment of something never done before. This is 21st century, not even the 20th century.

Those sharpening their throat on the sort of well stocked another man's electronic shop they will inherit or loot, should rather get a job now as that aren't going to happen.

Those calculating how much mansion they will inherit, should forget it as that will be part of your government reparation payment settlement.

Those hoping to see mass deportation of anyone to their village, I got news for you, there are 56 other Africa countries including Somalia.

Finally, life is not about bricks and mortar but good health is what matters. Once you are healthy and have life, you can replace whatever thing you lost in life by double digit. Life after the civil war thought everybody that lesson. We ALL started with N£20.00 as you well know, but by 1974, the same persons were buying houses of others who had it all, knocking it down and building the mansions, you are now eyeing up to inherit, then imagine what people can do with a million in their pocket instead of N£20?

Nigerian had lived and prospered before the marriage came along, so if in the end, confederation cannot be allowed to save Nigeria, they can prosper once again as partners rather than a marriage of suffocation. If the mighty Soviet can crumble within our very eyes and the earth did not shake, Nigeria can die without a whimper funeral. And five years later, it will be-Nigeria who?

Okkkkkk! So losing 7 out of your total asset is now called à gain and a good thing? With Nigeria, you learn new thing everyday.

caseless: ngige is popular and probably the best candidate amongst the rest, but his only offence, according to them, was that ngige belong to yoruba party. Only pple that ar backward think like that. They forgot that yoruba voted LP party in ondo state twice and not minding ac/acn as their party. If apga is ibo(SE) party, then which is SS, NE, NW and middle-belt party? Ibo dnt want to associate with any region politically, but they want all the regions to support them and make one of their own the president of nigeria without election. Ibo need to review their relationship with other tribes in nigeria for general acceptability.

Cool off on this Igbo president you are so hunged up about. Minus the usual career politicians, an average Igbo man do not give two rats about Who lives at Aso Rocks. Some of you cannot seem get this fact absolved in your brain. Apart from the beer joint bragging rights, please tell me how any Otueke person is better than anyone else out there now because Jonathan is living and enjoying a rent free at Aso Rock.

ngozievergreen: Ngige rigged it in 2003.
He would have done worse tnz this year if he were in peter obi's shoes.
What's with him and using thugs to win votes
He shd go and rest biko

No he did not, unless you are under 2 yrs old in 2003. The Uba clan did and they told us so that Ngige has no idea how he became governor. Even if he did, why is the victim then now a perpetrator of the same act and you are plauding? Tomorrow it could be you. Where will it end?

McGibson: Now i can sleep! cos APGA has won

Thats why Nigeria is a waste of time.

[quote author=Chima_Agbalajob]So you really think Ngige can win Anambra state with just one LGA which doesn't even house the 3 major cities?[/quote]Some of you are missing the point. Why do you think this is about Ngige? If Inec can admit that a whole LGA was compromised, that compromised the whole process. The whole thing is a complete sham.

kingbang: When people like us who know their people and their politics talk, you should listen to us and not clowns like those ones you mentioned! APGA has massive structure in Anambra and it will take a lot to beat them here! Ngige should go and lick his wounds in a quiet corner! Bloody Efulefu and a sellout!

Why this structures doesn't work for Senate, Rep and other elections I Don't Know. Mistery.

So Karma prophets, where and when will the so called Karma end? Next time are We supposed to be talking Obiano's karma? What a wasted and confused generation. Am supposed to be winetssing Ngige being taught a lesson by the voters because he is unpopulär as you lot made me to believe all this weeks past. Now you're talking about karma of rigging and no voting? And you reap what you sow nonesense. So what karma are real victims (voters) supposed to be reaping? Gosh!

Abagworo: Athur Eze is nobody in Igboland. He's known as a 419er of old formerly called "Arthur 1000". Like most PDP members, he's a retired thief. Same league as the retired thief Eze Ilomuanya and Late retired thief Igwe John Nebolisa.

Tell them. Who in their right mind, wants to rule Nigeria under the current arrangement?

Demdem: The name Arthur Eze reminds me of "who the cap fit except Abacha"
He has always been a rogue.

You are right about Arthur Eze, just like Arisokola Aloa, they are all Nigeria agip rent Boys.

Orlando Owoh: On Wednesday the 13th of this month at the PDP governorship campaign, Arthur Eze, a chieftain of the party made the following statement about the APC's candidate, Christ Ngige, " That short man called Ngige, we gave him power and he went and joined Awolowo's people; the people that killed the Igbos (sic)." This statement was deliberately made to dissuade the people of Anambra from voting for Ngige who arguably, stands a better chance of being elected in today's election. While Eze may see his comment as a mere statement geared towards getting votes for his party, it left a lot to be desired. It will surely have an adverse effect on any Igbo wanting to become President of Nigeria.
When they get to the north during their campaign, northers would be told by their politicians not to vote for the people of soldiers that killed their sons, Ahmadu Bello, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Ali Akilu, Ahmed Ben Musa (Ahmadu Lere), Zakariya Mailamari, Kur Mohammed, Abogo Largema and Yakubu Pam.
In the west, people will be told not to vote the people of the soldiers that killed Samuel L. Akintola, Samuel A. Ademulegun, Ralph Shodeinde, his wife and their unborn baby.
In the south, Delta State in particular, Itshekiri would be asked not to vote the people that killed Festus Okotie-Eboh.
These people were killed on the 15th of January, 1966.

You did not include people that killed Abiola, Khudirat and made Diya to cry on TV.

ozolity: What are doing in Anambra. Are u one of the voters. Campaign is over, u better keep quiet.

He is a Nigerian, a senior member of one of the contesting parties. Victor Umeh was on top of things in Imo in 2011 for his party and He is not from Imo.

redcliff: Oga calm down abeg..sending his chikdren to public schools isnt the problem, the problem is if the education there is of sound and good quality. The man could have also used stolen money to buy the whole scholl children's sandals and socks. And God does not bless in death, the only blessing you get is going to heaven as a righteous and holy being

The dead don't go anywhere but where we originäres-mere soil.

Something that should be a Right for those kids. Well done to him. He should start the campaign at the floor of the house and challenge his colleagues and other public office holder to buy foot wears for kids from district they hailed from and set up a Facebook page for It. And should be done every three years.

How can three persons per ward win you a guber' election in Nigeria? Why recruit such individual from far away Osun, when there are thousands of jobless people from nearby states that will fit in properly because of language? If one is neutral and reasons with the right body organ, this story sounds too stupid to be believed. But with Nigeria impossibles seems plausible at times.

How does a holiday in rivers helps election to be won in Anambra? How does that work?

It will be nice to know how many Odua citizens travelled with Jonathan to Anambra? Where was the likes of Okupe and Abati, when their people are supposed to be insulted? Why haven't they taken offence and resign in Protest?

[quote author=ndu_chucks]Please be show clarity when you inform us about past conditions. I am sure you do not mean that you were programmed to believing that Igbo, Yoruba, and Hausa people were brothers. The truth of the matter is that you people lived as brothers and sisters! No one programmed that.[/quote]I cannot remember including Hausa in that equation. When you are taught in school a certain political correct things but reality taught you other wise later, in that case we were programmed by the system. Every society to so extent are programmed by culture, society and lately Social Media.

funnyx: Mazi Eziachi, how bodi?
Thank you for your contribution, of course comments like that of Adekunle were not only insensitive but callous however that does not mean all Yorubas think like him or support his actions.
Having said that I don't know of anything in history that make Yoruba and igbos to be like brothers, so can you expantiate on that. Also the fact that Yoruba decided to support Nigeria in the war was solely to protect Yoruba'a interest which I believe is the right thing to do. Yorubas have nothing to gain in supporting Ojukwu coupled with the fact that it was already becoming clear that our land will be turned to a war zone on a course that bear none of our interest.
At least Zik who is an igbo son also supported Nigeria so why are igbos passing this hatred for Yorubas from generation to generation?

Well, if you were around in 60s you may understand why that generation of Igbo and Yoruba like me were programmed to believe that they are brothers. If you believe they aren't, It makes no sense why you spilled blood and got yours spilled dragging Igbos back into Nigeria. With all this hate on both sides, It will never make any sense.

simpleseyi: This is the part I love most.

This nonentity called Eze has many businesses in Yoruba land, has many Yoruba business and political partners, yet he does not want the poor Igbo masses to interact with Yorubas. He hates Yorubas so much, but he keeps shouting "One Nigeria"

I take It you weren't bothered with Akpabio own contribution to the pictures?

Orlando Owoh: Be mindful the way you mention the names of our traditional rulers. They are widely known. They are chancellors of renown universities. Igbo people don't have any well known traditional rulers.

Thats why I used their titles and not their first names. Am well brought up with some ethics.

Demdem: https://gifsoup.com/webroot/animatedgifs/783811_o.gif

Papa, u surely gat jokes

Takes you this while to realise?

Orlando Owoh: At your age you deceive yourself. Ndo!

I did not know you knew my age. Anyway what the obsession with age?

hercules07: The Ilorin Emir is more Yoruba than Fulani, please read up on the history of the Yorubas. The Ooni and Alaafin might not see eye to eye, but, when it comes to outsiders, they will always close ranks.

You mean like Oloye Saraki and his children? . Alafin and Oni did not close rank when Abiola was murdered. Oni said It was act of God and Alafin was disgusted. Do you really understand your own race?

funnyx: What I find ironic is that you never see people like Arthur Eze attacking Hausa Fulani and many northern tribes that fought the war against Biafra it's only Yorubas they can attack.

If many of you where around in the 60s and saw how dead bodies of Igbos lithered all over the streets of Nigeria especially in the North and stance the Yoruba took to not only fight along side the northerners but produce men like Adekunle as the North cunningly took the back stage. Murtala murdered more Igbos than Adekunle will ever Strang but how many young Igbos knew that? Was It because Murtala kept mute during and after the war? While Adekunle used his mouth more than he actually did and that what most Igbo remembered and passed that to the next Generation, hence sowing more Sees of hate. So I don't know why most you can't understand the animosity. It was more of a shock to an every Igbo man than anything else, that no matter your rivalry, you don't fight your own brother irrespective of your probably good reasons. Again, since after the war you will need to look hard to find Hausa talking about the war in public compared that to our Yoruba friends. Igbo and Yoruba are like England and Germany. They love to hate each other due to their rivalry and its not about to change until both side lives their separate lives, then this rivalry can becomes a healthy competition that will propel both nations to the pinnacle of development. The northerners knew this, hence they play them against each other to a near perfection. Many will be shocked how Igbo and Yoruba will get on, once Nigeria is broken, just like Russia and Ukraine.

cKaiser: You mean he had no personal conviction of his own just bowing to the wishes of his hausa overlords

If he wasnt sure about it and can be easily swayed by the no victor no vanquish, why did he now take the nation through the pains he didnt fully believe in

Maybe thats why his own people refused to vote him

Ikemba having an Hausa overlord? that would sound faintly right if we have an Emir of Nnewi just as you have in Ilorin. Now Who really has an overlord then, you or Ikemba? Just like Mandela, Emeka knew when to stop fighting and seek other alternative fights and looking at Igbos now and looking back at our state at the dawn of 1970, we shall ever be grateful to him for all his sacrifices despite his youthful mistakes. Cos I was there.

cKaiser: He fought against Nigeria yet came back a few year later to contest as the senator of Nigeria the same contraption he fought. See confusion

And his own people the same ones he led to an ill fated war before he fled when it got tough The people refused to vote for him and he was shamed completely

Few years later he is contesting for the Presidency of the same country he fought to split

He was only respecting your no Victor and no vanquished mantra, unless you thinks otherwise, 45 years later.
