Do you know who Chino on nairaland is? He is coming for ya for mentioning Anambra so better be ready.

And what if they are the originator?
Is that a crime to strive for selfdetermination and creation of your own independent state?
Most we continue with the status quo?

Biafran agitation is not a wahala, it is long overdue.

what is chino?

Abagworo:
Okorocha has done so much for Igbos and Nigeria but just like the Hebrews of old the Igbos are looking for any sins to ascribe to him but are yet to establish even half. Ask them his sin and they'll keep making baseless aspertions.

To the best of my knowledge his sin is winning an election without a godfather in 2011. The political heavy weights saw him as a threat to their influence hence the attacks against him from 2011 till date. He is not the only Igbo man that was against Jonathan continuing in 2015 and APC or PDP is not an Igbo party. He was not the only one that left APGA and he has never recorded any case of killing Igbos either in MASSOB or IPOB.

In terns of performance he has built more roads, schools and hospitals than any Government in the history of Southeast. He is the 1st and only Governor to give free education from primary to University level of education in Nigeria. At 1st he made it strictly for Imo indigenes and the critics lied that he achieved it by reducing number of Imolites in school and admitting more foreigners. He stunned them when he made it free for everyone in the State and they started the lies that there is no free education.

What I see is the use of IPOB and radio Biafra by the defeated gidfathers to get at Okorocha by calling him names and giving him laughable and fictitous sins like

1 He built mosque

2 He is an Hausa

3 He is homo

4 He built hospitals for organ trafficking

5 He gives money to Moslem converts

6 He killed Igbos MASSOB/IPOB

No single one of these allegations looks reasonable to a sane mind. Very childish and ridiculous like the recent one of Fayose saying Buhari is planning to Islamise Nigeria.

is okorocha a muslim? just wanna know

A typical case of taking panadol on top another person headache..

May ah juhz pass dey go...no time to beef anybody ahbeg!


I rep Anambra!

i learnt anambra people are the main originators of the biafra wahala and possess most of the bile, hate and lack of respect which igbos are labelled as haven.

u can correct me

Xsolutions:
@ Fadekebisola: I wanted to type this when you started this thread; when it was still about five comments or so; but now that you've had 'first hand' experience of the BILE, HATE and TOXICITY of these people as shown in their comments above; use these as a sort of 'wisdom' henceforth in your dealings with them (If you have anything to do with them at all).

I came to the conclusion long ago that these people ARE NOT good people, though there are still A FEW good IGBO'S among them; you just have to know the individual you are dealing with.

PEACE...

PS: Although it might be tempting, you've done well so far in ignoring their hateful comments towards you; I'd advice you keep doing that; just stay off the thread.

thanks dear....though they are exceptions as u pointed out.
let us all live in peace and harmony

who thinks so as well....i have painstakingly watched the video and can say that there is no king in igboland....
lgbos are too stubborn to my liking

i hope many have been hearing this that aside religion that not will be better than south...i concur but can u also think this way:

aside divisions in the south,the south will be more politically vibrant than north

all am trying to point out is that we should stop putting 'aside' bc thats the basis for no region been 100%....there will always be inefficiencies.

seriously not upon until my SS2 i learnt Nigeria had over 250 ethnic groups but what we keep hearing of Nigeria is usually hausa igbo and yoruba


ironically my northern friends think that benin is part of yoruba and they also typically refer south south people as igbo

my question now is what happens to the remaining over 200 other tribes?

TonyeBarcanista:
In the early hours of Thursday, March 3, 2016 I was informed by a leader of the PDP Social Media Directorate that I would be part of the PDP Social Media situation team to travel to Abia state for the Abia North Senatorial re-run election involving PDP's candidate Senator Mao Ohuabunwa and other contestants including PPA's Orji Uzor Kalu, APGA's Dr. David Onuoha-Bourdex and APC's Nnenna Nma Okoro. The election was scheduled on Saturday(March 5), while I and other team members were supposed to be in Abia state latest on Friday afternoon.

While preparing to leave Lagos state for Abia state, I kept wondering whether I can do the task. I have never monitored election situation before on behalf of any interest group, not to talk of doing same in an area that wasn't a 'comfort zone' for me. That was indeed a challenge for me. At this juncture, I have to give credit to Mr Newman Ubani, the Senior Special Assistant on New Media to Abia state Governor Ikezie Okpeazu, for his continuous assurance of myself and members of the team of a memorable outing in Abia state. Another person worthy of commendation is Ikechukwu Iroha, an Aide of Newman Ubani. Ike called me while I was in Lagos and kept calling to check on my state of mind as I was about to embark on the Journey.

From Lagos To Abia state
On Friday morning at 4:30AM, I embarked on the road trip to Umuahia, Abia state so as to meet up with members of the team led by Prince Deji Adeyanju, the PDP New Media Director. The SSA Ubani and Ikechukwu continuously inquired of my state all through the trip. I felt so loved and wanted. I entered Umuahia at 4:09PM and I was greeted with a state that is highly misrepresented in the media. Abia state appeared peaceful but I kept wondering the reason behind miitary check points. At 4:15PM I was in Abia Line park in Umuahia, before getting to the park I was informed that the team have left Umuahia for Arochuckwu. That means I'd have to move to Aro(as it is fondly called). Ikechukwu apologised for not being able to pick me at Umuahia but assured me that my trip to Aro won't be trouble. Francisca, a member of the team informed me that I would board bus going to Aro at Aba park in Umuahia. At Abia line park, I met a boy named Chris and asked him to connect me to a tricycle(keke) that will take me to Aba park. Chris said, "Dei(meaning senior), Aba park no far na, we fit wakar go there". He accompanied me to the park and it was only less than 3minutes walk. I offered him N500 for the troubles but he declined respectfully saying that he's helping me for the love of God.

I boarded bus to Aro and while in the bus, I could hear the driver and other passengers discussing in Igbo language, but I could figure that it was connected with the election as they kept mentioning the names of Uzor Kalu, Mao and Bourdex. The road to Aro was in a sorry state(unlike what I saw in Umuahia), I asked the driver that "oga why una road to Aro de bad like dis", the man first response was to heap curse on Uzor Kalu(because he was from the zone). In the bus, I tried to inquire their preferred candidate and I couldn't believe when the name of Sen Mao of PDP was echoed by most passengers, whilea few echoed Bourdex(APGA). Not a single soul mentioned Nnenna of APC or OUK of PPA. According to them, OUK was insensitive and APC will not win a single election in Abia state. I asked of their assessment of Gov Okezie Ikpeazu and the passengers were singing his praise for the transformation of Abia state especialy Abangwa(Aba).

At Arochukwu...
On getting to Aro at 7:59PM, I was received by Deji Adeyanju, the indefatigable Sola Kuti(SK) and other members of the team including Marvin, Francisca, Uche, Justice and a member of Abia Online. Mr Uche, an Aide of Senator Mao, as well as an Aide of Governor Ikpeazu admonished us that they aren't desperate to win the poll but we should ensure that we don't condone irregularity in our situation report. Sen Mao told us that power is given by God and the people, hence, we should let the people's will be reflected. It was so rare to see a Naija politician make such pronouncement. I admired the calm of the Senator and his associates. SSA Ubani, Ikechuckwu and their Abia Online team were busy updating Abians through the Abia Online platform on Facebook and Twitter. I pleaded with them to consider opening an account on Nairaland forum so as to update Abians and get feedback(they are indeed doing great job on Facebook and Twitter). Deji, our team leader was so brotherly and made everyone felt like equals even when someone like me is the least in "class" among the group.

Election and Post Election Events
The next day was election day and we were all set. We monitored the situation Polling booth by booth, ward by ward and LGA by LGA. There was 5 LGAs in Abia North. From the results, Sen Mao was in comfortable lead in four LGAs including his Arochuckwu LGA, while we weren't able to get the result of Bende LGA that Saturday night. However, we were able to get the result of two wards in Bende, which were both won comfortably by Senator Mao of PDP. We slept that night only to wake up to hear that Uzor Kalu of PPA had manufactured 14,000 votes from Bende alone to reduce Senator Mao's led to just 192 votes. That was a clear case of fraud as NO single LG returned up to 8,000 votes, so why Mende when Mende wasn't even the most populated? Another funny thing was that The Sun Newspaper owned by Kalu and BreakingTimes were publishing that the election has been declared inconclusive when INEC's returning officer was yet to make pronouncement. We called the attention of INEC and the masses to that illegal act and as God will have it, Senator Mao was declared winner and returned as Senator to represent Abia North in the 8th Senate. It was indeed a victory for the people. Ikechukwu was a walkaholic. He took the team around and never had time for himself.

Abia State Is Working
That said, what surprised me most wasn't even the election victory, neither was it the fact that APC couldn't score up to 1,000 vote in the rerun election. What surprised most me was the look of Abia state in all sectors under Ikpeazu and the accommodating spirit of Abians. I had to spend the night in Umuahia with members of the team, while Deji and Justice flew to Abuja to meet up with a court case that was scheduled on Monday, I felt so much at home. The next day, I embarked on my journey to Lagos, and arrived safely. Abians are blessed!

Vote Of Thanks
I am most grateful to Deji for such rare opportunity, to oga Churchill, Sir Sola Kuti(SK), SSA Ubani and his Abia online team, Ikechukwu, my team members Uche, Marvin, Francisca and Justice for their support and cooperation, and the PDP family for their brotherhood and prayer. Thanks also to Abia state government and the humble Senator Mao, and his associates that made me feel like an equal in their midst.

I shall not forget to thank Mr Seun Osewa for giving me the opportunity to be known through his platform, his moderators, and esteemed Nairalanders for their support all through the years.


I shall remain a proud Ambassador of Nairaland!!!!!!!
