.

add 24years to his current(44) age cos its 8years across 3 senatorial districts except miracle happens subsequently. deputy govnor slot for him if power shift to other district which to me its not bad cos he has carved a niche for himself.

You are very correct. I forgot that most times the incumbent governor runs for a second term. Effectively that means if he doesn't get it this time, he'll wait 24 years likely and that's a long time. Anything can happen by then.

mrvitalis:
In 16 years he would be 50+ which is still young enough

Actually he'll be 60 since he's 44 this year. But 60 isn't bad for a governor by then he would have acquired a lot of experience.

Bantu10:
Stop replying that guy buckeyemedia, dude is a chronic zombie. Pls don't get yourself dirty fighting with a pig

I totally agree with you sir.

mrvitalis:
My advice to this guy is simple ...strike a deal with OBA take his senate seat while OBA becomes governor ...

The only way they can defeat that Udom candidate is to team up together ... Luke is younger he should go to senate for now who knows he might be the next senate president

A lot of sense in your post. But I'm sure Luke is also considering the fact that before the governor's post comes back to his zone, sixteen years would have passed and that time they'll be other candidates probably stronger.

I like your advice, very sensible. But I prefer Onofiok to OBA maybe I'm biased as I know Onofiok from way back.

buckeyemedia:
Sorry if you were deceived by so called politicians in 2015, you must still be a kid?

They say wisdom comes with age, & experience.

More like you will still be deceived in 2023.

What exactly is your point?

You sound incoherent here.

buckeyemedia:
Yes O, you can take a donkey to the stream, to force it to booze water is another thing, all y’all are the biggest hypocrites, only a mad person will try & do anything for such a bunch of ungrateful race of black people. Tufiakpa.

Trash.

You made a promise that you can't keep isn't that BS?

Guy avoid my mentions. Keep your hypocrisy to your damn self. It's sucks to read from people defending NONSENSE.

The internet never forgets.

It's easy from the outside.

Seven years later it was just pure BS.

GardenOfGod:
The fear of the rise of Ibom Air is the reason for the alliance.... We know.

Please can you explain why you think so?

Trash post.

The OP used one brush to paint a whole region. How ironic when the same person says the niger deltans are the most uncerebral people on the face of the Earth.

Iamolukorede:
Like seriously, I see revolt looming very soon because this politician's won't stop, they don't know how to stop!! And this country is on a verge of collapse with the way they are running it to the floor.

Have you noticed that anytime we are close to presidential election there are numerous upsurge of crisis, it is also a design or arrangements by the leadership for campaign strategy. Sadly, this crisis might linger on for a while. A country so blessed like this with poor leadership, how I wish I become a president and let my pple go ..

Nation building is not rocket science and they know it, I have lived and work in 4 diff countries and I know what nation building is about. Look, the problems of Nigeria are Nigerian's.

Spot on!!! I couldn't have said it any better. Most of the crisis ravaging the country is actually funded and sponsored by the same politicians running the country...the reason there seems to be no end in sight for the insecurities inspite of all the funds budgeted for it. We need real Patriots, people who want to make the country better and not career politicians looking for how to enrich themselves and perpetuate themselves in power by all means. But everything that has a beginning also has an end...we are edging closer and closer due to how the politicians now spite the masses by the kind of absurd things now happening, a lot of impunity going on.

Iamolukorede:
Strange but true, the thing is their own personal interest will come first. Why won't they kill the bill when it doesn't favours them ?, And I can tell you, that bill is a welcome development within the Nigerian society, it will enable these rouges to sit up and put a cut in corruption prostitution in the country.

Infact, it will make them focus on nation building. Even their principal " buhari" don't believe in the country because he unstd how bastardised the health sector is then he prefers treatment overseas, jus know that this current structure will never work. It will continue to fail because it was designed to fail by this rogues and their colonial masters.

No country as ever prospered either without a great leader or a popular revolt.

Completely agree. Nigeria needs a major revolt to change the status quo. Politicians shouldn't be rewarded with huge emoluments. Immediately politicians start earning small salaries, this country will change because they'll be accountability. Only people who seek for a better country will run for political office since they wouldn't be any financial motivation. Most of the people occupying political positions in today's Nigeria are just there to enrich themselves.
If that doesn't happen, then you can be sure they'll be a revolution in the nearest future it's just inevitable.

If you are a politician in Nigeria and you happen to read this, have it at the back of your mind, that there'll be a revolt. Since you guys continue to show that you don't care about the country. ASUU is on strike , nothing is done except lip service. A country that doesn't care about education is just delaying it's eventual doom.

Nigeria is a joke.

The few oligarchs keep ruining the country, stealing the country blind. Until Nigeria gets rid of them or splinter into different independent countries, nothing will change. It's an old vicious circle.

Is he running for the Senate?

backbencher:
Jobless people

Anyone proetsting for Russia or Ukraine should go and sit down.

First time I'm seeing you lose your cool.

These people are just unbelievable, with all the challenges in Nigeria, it's Russia and Ukraine that's worrying them

This one loud

Nice development, hope it yields something fruitful.
Belarus just had a referendum that enables them get back the nukes they willingly gave to Russia after the dissolution of the USSR. Belarus is becoming a nuclear state again.

Seeing the OP referencing the five majors is quite nostalgic for me. I Remember when a friend of mine recommended the five majors by Ben Gbulie back in 2005. It was a very good read. It opened my eyes to the fact that tribalism has been a major challenge in the Nigerian project. I can vividly recall a certain instance in the book where the author and his other colleagues were waiting to be addressed by a high Nigerian government official just before they boarded their flight overseas for the officer training course. The author said the official addressed the soldiers in a Nigerian language instead of using the English language which would have been understood by everyone, and he promised that in future it would be mainly folks from his own section of the country that would be going for such course. Sadly these things exist today probably at a larger scale.

tito44:
Next time, they should use quota airline like AZMAN or MAX AIR so the pilot will go and throw them inside the ocean

I swear you no well

LordviccoDaGuru:

Seriously the garbage you wrote up there is an achievement?!

Chai poverty is a disease...and this is the reason these politicians want Nigerians to be poor so they can give them stipends and take aware their capacity to think with their heads instead of their stomach.

Elnino9:
Come 2023, obong bassey albert will be sworn in as Governor of Akwa-ibom state las las.... someone should note this......

Oba's gang abi?

Till then Oga.

FUTO’s VC also asked barely literate lawyers to send me a cease-and-desist letter that was so riddled with unspeakably embarrassing grammatical errors and infantile legal reasoning that I thought it was a prank by a comedian. It actually made me laugh.

BritishNaija:
If Russia Invade Ukraine, not only will there economy be weakened, they will find themself in Afghanistan 2.0 kind of conflict as they will be suffering casualties from preventable attacks. It will be in form of gorilla attacks with more sophisticated weapons supplied by the western countries.

They will find themself in never ending conflicts, Putin should drop his Ego and push back, no one will attack russian first knowing fully well they have Atomic Bombs.
He should instead focus on how to alleviate his citizens from suffering.

Okay. The events of this week will be very interesting. Let's see how it unfolds... we'll continue this conversation later this week, I'm sure we'll have a lot to discuss. Have a fantastic week ahead

BritishNaija:
I'm for peaceful resolution about this, but Putin is a bully and egomatic.

I like your disposition on this. I want peace too. But I don't think Putin( not supporting Putin) is the bad guy here. It's just for self preservation like I said earlier. I think the west should cancel Ukraine's NATO membership for the sake of peace and de-ecalate the tension building up. But you know these guys want war so they can test their new toys and also sell weapons. Another thing, Ukraine joining NATO would greatly weaken Russia.

BritishNaija:
The different between that and current, i understood it was during the era of both US and USSR dragging to be the world power. But please can you tell me why russia want to invade ukraine?

The answer to your question is fear. It's just self preservation. Russia is worried that Ukraine joining NATO would mean Ukraine being used as a military base for US forces ( something the US wouldn't tolerate as written by the poster you just quoted. Forget the time line or the fact that USSR doesn't exist anymore).

The question should be; why does the US want to establish a military base close to the southern borders of Russia? Is it not provoking?

Let's face the truth here, if Russia can't have military bases close to the US then same should apply to the Russian borders. NATO is just a beautiful front by the west here and Ukraine is playing right into the trap.

redPUSSY:
The same set of politicians are still in the corridors of power today..

Indeed, Youths are leaders of tomorrow

It's unbelievable. I thought I was the only person recognizing some current politicians in the pictures. Omo Naija is on a long thing...the youths are in serious trouble.

Baloranking:


You dey find joy. When Ronaldo dey offside always

Please update the scoreline na beg I dey beg o.

Kai these boys can't just give someone some joy...okay...still 1-1.

Man yunited why?

Ekaka1:
Femi must be really very da.ft!!
Gakem was where the Civil started.... in early July...not so sure but must have been 2nd of July..Gakem is in the Old ogoja province( the only province that I think a state has still not been created out of) .
Gakem is currently in Bekwarra Local Government Area not even near The Cameroun border, you have to go through Utugwang and Obudu, Obanlikwu etc..to get that close to The Cameroun hills...there are currently about 20 border villages in cross river state from bakasi in the south to "Ogoja " in the north of cross river and Gakem is not one of them...or relatively close .perhaps about 290km by road to the closest border from Obudu

he and his principal who currently suffer amnesia cannot pull a wool over our koro koro eyes
The first shots were fired there triggering a full blown war, now known as he Nigerian Civil was ...not the earlier police action in Ibo land.
In fact this was where the Ibo made Ogbuniwe(?) bomb was first tested...

So if his field commander was located in Kastina-Ala or Gboko he could easily have marched there..during that initial confrontation which was by no means an easy encounter because the Biafran troops were in Gakem on tip off weeks before the Nigerian invasion and they had dug tenches in anticipation of the war...but of course the troops deployed by the Biafran commanders in charge of that axis were inexperienced so did not hold the fort long enough.

The Nigerian Army could not access Ogoja from the East until they first gained grounds in Gakem after a few days of fight iwith backups from Markurdi. Ojukwu's men would have repelled and completely defeated the Nigerian Army had the Biafrans mobilized experienced troops there...(I'm sure Biafran Brig. General Madiebo regretted that for a long time during the war)so they couldn't hold out and they eventually withdrew to igoli Ogoja, then to Okuku in present Iyala local government even used a small air strip at Mary knoll college, Okuku in y'all for a while before they were pushed back into Abakaliki eventually after some months of fighting ...
Buhari could either have marched from the Benue Axis as I earlier pointed out or he probably was among those who were located in Abakaliki after the fall of Nsuka , Enugu and the Today's Ebonyi...the only other possibility was him trekking from Calabar but that axis was under Col "Black scorpion" Adekunle and was ably manned by Lt. Col. ALABI Isiama of course after some months of fighting around the old cross river state....for instance Ikot-Ekpene is on record to have fallen and retaken thrice( 3 times) that's how fierce the battle in The the South eastern state was..

Finally, if buhari feels that much nolstalgia about Gakem, that is so linked to the Civil or uncivil war( depending on who is looking at it) why has he not done anything monumental or even a national centre to remember that little town along the road to the north ...test he's been in charge of affairs in nigeria twice...Shame!!

Some good history lessons here...did you experience it or you also read about it or you were told by someone?

Can you kindly share more?

Quite interesting

Browndiary:
"Ignorance is an enemy, even to its owner. Knowledge is a friend, even to its hater." Sri Chinmoy.

The wise king Solomon said there is an error under the sun, and there is also a shameful error in our generation that is gradually becoming a norm. The error of giving an opinion ignorantly and with a sense of pride.

Some who don't believe in the gospel of Umo Eno think he is inexperienced, not qualified and not prepared for leadership. But this is very far from reality, an error committed in ignorance.

People who have had the opportunity to sit under Pst Umo Eno can attest to the fact that he is knowledgeable in almost every aspect of life, especially economic development.

A man that can speak wisdom for over two hours without consulting any material is a genius, and this is the Umo Eno people don't know.

His words resonate power, knowledge and intelligence.
If all the aspirants are given the floor to speak for 10 minutes, without boasting, Umo Eno has what it takes to take the day. It is not about oratory, rhetoric or the ethos and logos of speech presentation, but wisdom wrapped in words and conversed with undiluted passion.

The choice of Pst. Umo Eno by the people is not a mistake. He is the best person for the job given his leadership antecedent. He is a fast learner and not a pushover. Don't think he will be a stooge that anyone can push over. He is a thoroughbred leader anointed to take Akwa Ibom state to its destination come 2023.

Richard Peters

Which people?

He's simply Udom's candidate for the position.

He might be a good candidate, but let the people of Akwa Ibom decide without the current governor's interference.


I watched the video of his anointing by Udom. It's strange when a deacon anoints a pastor, thought it should be the other way round

PST Umo Eno in the video while thanking Udom for making him his preferred candidate, said he( Umo Eno) knows that he's the least qualified candidate. Based on his own speech at the ceremony, should the Akwa Ibom people settle for less?

Religion is the opium of the people, these politicians know how to use religion to confuse the masses. Are all Akwa Ibomites christians?
Religion shouldn't be a yardstick for election.

Amah70:
To have their oil back in their new sovereign countries, all the oil producing areas need to do is negotiate with the oil companies on how to share profits from crude oil in the SS and SE.
Appoint Jewish lobbyists as intermediaries.

One of the few sensible comments I've read on this post.

You are wise.

DeepSight:
Easy for you to say, ensconced in and snugly tucked within protective blankets wherever you are.
I pray you lose those warm blankets, and are compelled by the fates to experience the pinch exactly as it is felt by the unprotected.
And when that pinch of fate has sunk deep into your skin, then, I pray the fates present you with a chance to revisit this subject.

Thoughtless arsehole.

Deepsight indeed!!!


I like the way you reason...the dude you quoted is just another selfish Nigerian who has lost touch with the streets.
