All of U̶̲̥̅̊ here who think Ngige will not put d final nail on the coffin of APuGA (according †̥☺ Nicholas of PDP) in this nxt month election are either too far from Anambra or are living in govt house in Awka or self-deceiving Liars or deaf and blind
One of d 4

Integrity Test is an out-dated way †̥☺ test the structural condition of a building.
What is in vogue now is called 'Total Structural Audit' which use an innovation called OPACODING to give deeper details of the building, bridge, dam or jetty.
Total Structural Audit reveals the 'Expiry date' of each of the structures and with it the Lifespans of these structures can be extended. For instance a building with a year remaining †̥☺ expire can have its life extended by 45 yrs or more.
The solution †̥☺ structural failure is not demolition but opacoding.

INSIDER INFO:
When yar'adua won on PDP and yerima was d ANPP party leader, Yar'adua pleaded with him †̥☺ bring the ANPP †̥☺ join his Unity Govt, so as an agric inclined person, he bargained †̥☺ be given a multi-billion silos contract as his settlement with an up-front payment. Yar'adua agreed and he swapped d ANPP over †̥☺ his govt though their candidate Buhari was in court challenging yar adua.

I was among the 3 Structural Engineers that did d designs of the silo bases which was based on the silo specifications sent from the manufacturer (foreign partner) abroad. It was so urgent that we worked on it from 24th dec till 25the dec that year.

Boss13: 2032. Trust CCEECC or CCCCEEEECC. Those china guys build projects like snails.

Lie!
This same company built NCC Hqtrs abuja where i did ♏Ɣ IT more than 12 yrs ago.
They also built isheri olofin \ Lasu expressway and the notable Cele flyover bridge. So trust that this project is on course. Why did i forget the ongoing Ikorodu express?

Coldfeet: ok

Some persons try †̥☺ get popularity via stupidity.
They are too ignorant †̥☺ know that quoting a heavy quote has a measure of impact on the website.

[size=18pt]Biggest Lie in the century. Those Silos were built by Yar'adua presidency. Not GEJ. I was part of the project![/size] Ђ☺w can people lie like dis?

№ sector seems †̥☺ be working right now since they are all in deadlock under goodluck. Aviation , Education, healthcare, power, agriculture (cost of foods) etc.
I laff @ all those then ACN members in lagos who said †̥☺ us 'let's tap into this man's goodluck by voting against our party candidate Ribadu'.

ochejoseph: Leadership is not Nigeria’s problem.
Nigerians always blame the government in
power for the problems of the nation even
though many of these preceded the government
in power. Why do we always do this?
For instance, ask any Nigerian what the problem
is with Nigeria and they will say like, Chinua
Achebe, that it is leadership, forgetting that
Nigeria’s leaders come from amongst us; and if
we are saying that our problem is leadership, we
are invariably supporting the racist Rhodesian
doctrine that a black man would thrive best
under white rule.
So if our problem is not leadership, what then is
it?
I propose that our problem in Nigeria is that we
lack a sense of history and we live only in the
present moment which means that we are always
reacting and hardly ever pro-acting.
If my five year old son comes to me and tells me
that he has lost his toy, I would ask him to think
back to the last time that he saw it and begin the
search from there.
Nigeria has seen phenomenal growth in the last
three years with our Gross Domestic Product,
GDP, growing at a rate of over 6% per annum,
making us one of the world’s 10 fastest growing
economies. Yet, we still have areas of Nigeria
where population growth is higher than the
growth rate of our GDP; and it is only common
sense that where population outpaces
production, there will be crisis. This is a theory
that Reverend Malthus propounded and which
has stood the test of time.
Between 1960 when Nigeria got independence
and 1966 when we experienced the first military
intervention in governance, Nigeria experienced
phenomenal growth – a feat that has evaded us
since, except for the growth we have had in the
last three years. Almost all of the national
institutions that were responsible for our growth
pre-1999, were products of that first golden era
before the first coup, such as the four great
universities, (Lagos, Ife, Nsukka and Zaria), Kainji
Dam, Nigeria Airways etc.
Also, in the same time period, we had some of the
best civil servants in the world and our public
service was very functional. There were reports
from that era that some of our politicians were
corrupt, but it is universally acknowledged that
our civil servants of those times were above
board. Our hospitals were renowned worldwide
and it will surprise some to note that the Saudi
Royal family received treatment at the University
College Hospital, Ibadan, in the early 60s.
At that time we did not have oil in the quantum
that we have today, yet, the nation was thriving,
we had little or no foreign debt and we were first
amongst equals in the council of emerging
nations that included Indonesia, Brazil and
Egypt.
But all these changed after 1966. So, as I would
say to my five year old, if you are looking for a
thing, go back to the last place where you saw it.
That place is 1966!
Pre-1966, admission into primary and secondary
schools was purely on merit. The same was the
case for universities as well as the federal civil
service. After 1966 when the military intervened
and ended the First Republic all that changed and
has remained the same till today.
A child could no longer bank on academic
prowess as the yardstick for his gaining entry
into primary and secondary schools. Children at
their most tender years, when they were being
emotionally scripted, were told that even though
they passed and passed well, they were not good
enough for government funded schools because
of where they came from.
With the Quota system of entrance into public
schools introduced after 1966 and enshrined by
the military into our body polity extant laws,
children as young as nine got to understand that
in Nigeria, where you come from is more
important than how intelligent and hardworking
you are.
Now, the sad thing about the policy of quota
systems is that geneticists in the very best
universities of the world have established that
some races and tribes are not more intelligent
than others and as such you can find intelligence
in almost equal measure wherever you use it as a
yard stick. In fact, many, including the Harvard
Medical Journal, have reported that culture is
more to blame than intelligence for the reason
why some peoples are backward while others are
progressive.
And our culture has been that children who are
more endowed intellectually are held back and
children who could grow their intellectual
capacity are prevented from doing so because
there was no need to challenge them
intellectually. Come as you are, the system says.
This system would probably have brought
minimal damage if it was limited to secondary
schools, but it is not.
After completing secondary school, post 1966
Nigerian youths faced the same issues in gaining
admission to Nigerian universities. Cut off marks
and catchment areas were discriminately
apportioned using region as a yard stick. So, after
being told at age nine that were you came from
was more important than your intelligence or
your academic hard work, the message is
reinforced at age 16-17 when you are still in your
formative years.
At 16, you enter university and study for four or
five years (ASUU permitting) and then graduate
and go through your National Youth Service (one
of the best policies the military bequeathed to
Nigeria) and then you start to look for a job.
The largest employer of labour is the
government, so naturally you start there. And
what do you find? At age 24, just as when you
were nine and sixteen, you are now faced with a
policy that says where you are from is more
important than what you can bring into the
system. You are told that although you are
qualified, the system must take people who are
less qualified than you because of where you are
from and where they are from.
So, between the ages of nine and 24, your psyche
has been reinforced and scripted with the
message that where you are from is more
important than what you bring to the table.
Why wouldn’t a post 1966 civil servant face
temptation to steal when merit is not the order
of the day and you are forced to serve under
someone who did not get his placement by merit
– who enjoys perks and privileges far in excess of
you? How can such a system promote morale and
how can you have efficiency where morale is
low?
Prior to 1966, an Nnamdi Azikiwe could win
election in Ibadan and an Umoru Altine could win
election as the first mayor of Enugu, but how can
we replicate that ideal when, in every form you
have filled since the age of 6, your ethnicity, state
of origin and religion has mattered more than
your Nigerianness. But whenever you watch
television in the 1980s you see the MAMSER
directorate showing you clips of your leaders
telling you that where you come from does not
matter and what matters is that “we are all
MAMSER people who want the basic things of
life”.
It is not until you get to your 30s and you watch
as those same leaders that sold you and your
parents that line form themselves into Northern
and Southern Political Leaders Forum that you
realized that you have been had!
And then young people who through no fault of
their own have been conditioned to only live in
the moment are then manipulated by these same
set of leaders to begin to blame the government
of the day for crumbling infrastructure that has
been neglected for years and is only now being
addressed after decades of neglect for the simple
reason that we now have a leader who emerged
not through the establishment but through
events that could only be described as divine.
And then you wonder, do they know their friends
from their enemies? I mentioned Kainji Dam
earlier but young people would be surprised to
note that between 1979 and 1999 no new power
plants were initiated and the one commissioned
in 1982 was initiated in 1978! Yet, these same
young people egged on by those who have
milked the system in that time frame point
accusing fingers at the man who is making a
difference.
Take something as universal as power. In
Nigeria, history has been made as the power
sector has just been privatized by President
Goodluck Jonathan in fulfillment of the promises
he made to Nigerians when he launched the
Roadmap to Power Sector Reforms on August
26th 2010. But before then, Nigeria has and is still
suffering from chronic power shortages.
Now, power is one of those industries that rely
strictly on efficient manpower in order to
function properly. But power has been
exclusively managed and operated by the
government. Now who would the government
hire to run our power plants, transmission grids
and their commercial offices? Of course it would
be Nigerian citizens.
Now, are those citizens the very best Nigeria has?
No! These are citizens employed as part of the
federal civil service that depends not on merit
but on ethnicity for its hiring. So, what then do
Nigerians expect from such a venture?
You can repeat this for our refineries, airports,
railways, sea ports, and other vital national
institutions.
It is a notorious fact (yes, that phrase again) that
you are only as strong as your weakest link.
Therefore, where you have not taken in the best
right from secondary up to university and up to
the civil service, your system is only as strong as
the least endowed person.
To put this into perspective, if you have a school
entry system that gives someone who scored 2
admission, and stops someone who scored 290
from getting admitted, your system is only as
strong as a 2.
The saddest thing is that if he knew that he would
only get in if he had a 290 and nothing else would
ensure he gets in, he would be forced to build his
capacity to at least a 290. It is called competition
and that is what existed between 1960 and 1966.
That, my people, is the problem with Nigeria.
President Goodluck Jonathan and the leadership
he offers to Nigeria is not our problem. As a
matter of fact, it is part of our solutions. Why do
I say this? Because this is a man who has seen
that even though we have made phenomenal
progress in the last three years such as we have
never witnessed between 1966 till date, yet we
can do better.
And speaking as a private citizen, it is my hope
that the coming national conference would look
into these issues and go back in time to the place
where we lost it.

Nwa Teacher: Who is this Ngige every year in Anambra?
2003 :- Ngige contested election that recorded the highest election Fraud in Anambra. Election that show his diabolic nature by going to Okija shrine to take oat because of hunger for power.
2005:- Peter Obi regain the mandate stolen by Ngige in the court.
2007:- Ngige contested for governorship seat and was beaten Andy Uba on a seat that wasn't vacant. Obi took Uba to court and told him that dia was no vacancy in Awka House.
2009:- Dr. Tunde Ngige contested for the office of the governor again and was lost to Obi.
2011:- Ngige in search for power, contested for Anambra central senatorial zone with Dora Akunyili. An Election Dora never accepted the result do to the fraud and manipulation been piloted by Ngige was witnessed. Ngige is in the national assembly 4 2yrs now without any bill or project to his credit by so doing denying Anambra people the benefit we have gotten 4rm the eloquent Dora Akunyili
2013:- Ngige is abandoning the senatorial seat and contesting for Governor again.
What a greedy and born to rule mentality man Ngige is made of. He was sponsored by Chris Uba in 2003 election because he has no money. Where has he been getting the money he has bn wasting every yr in election if he can claim he is corrupt free. Thats the question he must answer. No to Ngige! No to APC in Anambra.

The history of Abraham Lincoln is more ugly and mercier than that of Ngige. Lincoln had several strings of failures †̥☺ his 'credit'.

Strong Opposition guarantees better life and stronger economy. In all nations that are world powers, they have strong no-nonsense highly vibrant oppositions. Nations like Zimbabwe where presidents rule fø̲̣̣я̅ lifetime, zero oppositions.

Sincere 9gerian: That is a defeatist, narrow and very shallow analysis of the issue. Why choose blindly when the track records and credentials of all the major candidates are before us?

If we'r to dismiss candidates because they'r "unknown" then Fashola would never have been governor. Then Obama would never have been president. Then Sullivan Chime would never have been governor. Then Donald Duke would never have been governor. Then Amaechi would never have been governor.

If we go with the mentality of rejecting the "unknown" then the world have remained static.

Ngige is not unknown. He was former governor for about 3 years. He is presently a senator. So also Obiano is not unknown. He worked at a multinational oil company and also worked for decades at Fidelity Bank. All the candidates have history. An analysis that is FAIR and makes SENSE is the assessment of the history of performance of the candidates based on the various positions they held before. For instance, how did Ngige perform as governor for 3 years? How did Obiano perform while he was working at Fidelity Bank, Multinational Oil Company,etc? That is the assessment that makes SENSE.

You cannot dismiss Obiano simply because he has not been governor before. Ngige was not born a governor. Each of the candidates should be assessed fairly and on individual MERIT.
