Tinubu, current king of Yoruba, throwing Awolowo under the Bus??

He has not commented on the Achebe-Awo imbroglio.
A few months ago he had a heated altercation with the Awolowo family, where he derided Awolowo's wife
Wetin de happen? Abi Tinubu no be Awoist?

I wonder where Awo is today? In hell or in the bottom of the ocean? Either way, he is not finding life funny even in death. What an evil man who was so evil he had to kill himself.

Why would an oil well supposedly located in Kogi be clasified as Anambra Oil Basin?
Kogi people, stop the greed and afterthought before it consumes human lives.

The Aguleri Kingdom has formally reacted and refuted the claims by Ibaji community and the Kogi State Government that the oil deposits in respect of which the exploration and drilling by Orient Petroleum has begun and recently commissioned by President Goodluck Jonathan are in their land. At a national Press Conference held

and hosted Wednesday afternoon at the palace of the Traditional Ruler of Aguleri kingdom - His Royal Highness Eze Christopher Nwabunwanne Idigo IV (Ogalagidi), the claims that the Oil Wells are located in Ibaji Kogi State were completely debunked.

Facts of ownership of the lands by Aguleri were articulated and provided; including court judgements which gave victory to Aguleri over Igala community in respect of the said lands in which the oil deposits are located.

Below is full Detail of the Press Conference:

BEING EXCERPTS OF THE PRESS BRIEFING BY HRH EZE C.N. IDIGO IV, (OGALAGIDI, EZE AGULERI), WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 19, 2010,@ ISABANKA (THE ROYAL PALACE), AMAEZE, AGULERI.

The historical Commissioning of the Orient Petroleum Resources Plc / Anambra River Oil Wells at Aguleri-Otu, Aguleri, on August 30, 2012 by the President and the proclamation of Anambra State as an Oil-Producing State in Nigeria, has unexpectedly awakened the ‘Oil Producing appetite’ of Anambra neighbouring States of Kogi and Enugu. Both states are now separately jostling and laying claims to the ownership of these Oil Wells which are indisputably located in Aguleri land. As if the spurious claims by the governments of Kogi and Enugu States were not enough, a few days ago, some youths of Kogi State embarked on a protest march, just as some youths of Enugu State had earlier threatened to stop the Orient Petroleum project, all in their effort to buttress their claims.

Ordinarily, Aguleri Community would have allowed the State Governments to sort out themselves believing, that the extant boundaries between the three States, namely: Anambra and Kogi States on one part; and Anambra and Enugu States on the other hand, are properly delineated. As a people known for always standing on the path of truth, honour and justice, Aguleri would always fight back whenever our liberty is threatened or our land is encroached upon. More importantly, we acknowledge the need to straighten the records and allay further misinformation on the matter, for the Nigerian public, and the world at large. We therefore present the historical as well as legal facts on this matter with the view to settling this contest on the rightful ownership of the Anambra River Oil Wells (OPL 915). Having said as much, the fact remains that the Orient Petroleum Resources Plc’s Anambra River Oil Wells – Anambra River 1, 2 and 3 in OPL 915 are located in Aguleri land precisely, Aguleri-Otu, the north-eastermost riverine settlement of Aguleri.

It is a historical fact that Aguleri occupies the longest stretch of settlement along Anambra River – starting from Otuocha Aguleri to Inalo River at the border of Kogi State. Aguleri People live on both sides of Anambra River from Otuocha Aguleri up to Igbakwu Town in Ayamelum LGA on the east bank of Anambra River. Igbakwu Town itself is opposite Enugu-Otu Aguleri on the west bank of Anambra River. From Igbakwu Town northwards is Ifite-Ogwari, followed by Umueje, all in Ayamelum LGA and thereafter Igga and Ojor towns , then to Ogurugu, all in Enugu State. Clearly from Igbakwu, Anambra River has been the natural boundary between Aguleri and all the other towns on the east bank of Anambra River up to Ogurugu in Enugu State. It is also a historical fact that none of the communities on the east bank of Anambra River from Igbakwu to Ogurugu has farm lands on the west bank of Anambra River, and this is as expected, as Aguleri occupies the entire west bank of Anambra River up to Inalo River at the border of Kogi State. Aguleri people have been living in the locations of the Oil Wells known as Agu-Igbili, Agu-Ovo/Okpalia, Ngene-Ejo, Okpa-Nkwocha and Nnobi Aguleri right from time immemorial and have engaged in farming and fishing in these locations from historical times to date.

Historically, Odeke, the Headquarters of Ibaji Clan in Igala land of Kogi State trace their origin to Aguleri and because of this ancestral connection, they lived very close to Aguleri and shared common boundaries with Aguleri. At cultural fiestas, where successful men usually have the opportunity to display their bravado or prowess for instance, it was commonplace to hear popular slogans and shouts of Odeke Agulu..ue! Odeke Agulu kwenu!! Settlements such as Uchuchu Anocha, Uchuchu Anapiti, Echonwa, Obale, etc are all farm settlements of Odeke people. Before the advent of Colonial Administration, we lived together as a people of common stock. However, with the regionalisation of Nigeria by the Colonial Government, Odeke, together with its farm settlements were placed in Northern Nigeria as part of Idah Division.

GOVERNMENT ADIMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS

Given the topography of the entire West Bank of Anambra River basin, which presently consists of Anambra West LGA and Aguleri-Otu in Anambra East LGA, the lands were acquired by the Government to establish the Anambra Forest Reserve in 1931. Consequent upon this Government action, an Agreement dated 28th April 1931, made in that behalf, and in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 (ii) of Cap. 95 of the Forestry Ordinance 1931. The communities that entered into the Agreement with the Government were eight ( – namely: Nzam, Inoma, Nnani, Obodolu, Mmiata, Umuoba, Enugu-Otu and Oroma-Otu (now Eziagulu-Otu) Aguleri – all in the present day Anambra State. Another Agreement was made in that behalf on 12th Day of February 1932, also by the same eight ( communities aforesaid. The Forestry Ordinance was published in Nigeria Gazette N0. 20 Vol. 20; notice N0.316, dated 30th March 1933. An ADO of the then Onitsha Division was appointed the Reserve Settlement Officer, to supervise the Forest Reserve, on behalf of the Government of Eastern Nigeria.

It is also important to note that the Oil Wells under discussion i.e. Anambra River 1,2&3 inside OPL 915 is located within the Anambra Forest Reserve, which is in Aguleri.

BOUNDARIES

The boundary of Anambra Forest Reserve is very clear and unambiguous. Whereas Enugu State communities of Igga, Ojor and Ogurugu are on the Eastern Bank of Anambra River, the Anambra Forest Reserve is on the Western Bank of the river (Anambra River) up to opposite Ogurugu community. So, Anambra River has always been and is still the natural boundary between Enugu State communities and Anambra Forest Reserve.

Earlier in 1927, the boundary between Aguleri and Kogi State was settled through an Arbitration jointly chaired by Captain Joel and Mr Macabe, both Assistant Divisional Officers representing the then Onitsha Division and the then Idah Division respectively. HRH Eze R. A. Idigo II represented Aguleri, while Chief Ocholo of Olu Ibaji represented the Ibaji Clan. At the end of the sittings, the Arbitrators adopted the boundary lines as represented in the Map of Nigeria in 1927 as the boundary between Aguleri and Ibaji land in the present Kogi State. It is instructive to note that far back in 1927, the official Map of Nigeria recognized the Anambra Forest Reserve as part of Eastern Nigeria. And so, as the Chairman of the Orient Petroleum Resources Plc, Chief Emeka Anyaoku, said, the “misconception that the Oil Well was not entirely in Anambra State has been resolved through the Map of Nigeria”

The boundaries are also contained in Anambra Forestry Reserve (Amendment) Order, 1950, and Legal Notice N0. 126 of 1954; the Northern Region, Western Region and Eastern Region (Definition of Boundaries), 1954 Appendix ’B’ and ‘E’.

It is also pertinent to mention here that the Tripartite Point of intersection at the mouth of Inalo River which is the boundary between Kogi and Anambra State is quite far away and clearly long after the Anambra Oil Wells location.

ACTS OF OWNERSHIP AND POSSESSION

All the settlements and people in possession before the establishment of Anambra Forest Reserve were named after the Aguleri people who were in possession, which explains why till date what you have are such enclaves as Oguejiofor’s Enclave, Chizua’s Enclave, Menkiti’s Enclave, etc; reflecting the founders of these settlements. Also, the fishing ponds scattered all over the entire land are owned by Aguleri people and they fish in them till date.

Other acts of ownership include the establishment of Migrant School at Okpeze which is well beyond the location of the Oil Wells by the Anambra State Government, to serve the primary education needs of the people. For long, a number of church groups have been established in the area. They include St. Philip’s Anglican Church of Anambra/Niger West Diocese, the Catholic Church of Onitsha Archdiocese Outstation Parish, just as a number of Pentecostal Churches are also located in the area. For the pagan community, their ‘Aro’ deity is prominently located there. Above all, the Forest Quarters built for the Forest Reserve Staff by the Eastern Nigeria Government, now maintained by the Anambra State Government is at the heart of the Settlement.

For all Federal Elections in Nigeria, INEC Polling Booth located at Ngene Ejo which is part of the Anambra Forerst Reserve, administered by Anambra Office of the Commission, supervised the conduct of such elections for Aguleri people living in the area.

It is also pertinent to mention briefly that Royalties accruing from the products of the Anambra Forest Reserve have continued to be paid as agreed by the people of Aguleri and the then Governor of Nigeria, Sir Thompson, in 1932. Till date, Aguleri Community have been collecting the said Royalties from the Forestry Department.

COURT RULING

In 1967, the Igga Community of Enugu State brought an action against SAFRAP Nigeria Limited – an Oil Company & 2 others; and Chief A.E.Idigo & 3 Others (For and on behalf of the people of Aguleri), claiming, among other things, a declaration of title to the land and an injunction restraining the aforesaid company and the people of Aguleri from committing further acts of trespass and waste of economic trees and crops on the land in question. The Igga Community, being Plaintiffs in the suit filed a Motion of Discontinuance, after they had finished their evidence and Aguleri Community opened their defence. In the Court’s Ruling, their application was refused. The case dragged on from 1967 to 1973 and all subsequent appeals made by the same community were similarly refused. This means, as per the Court Order, that the Igga Community cannot bring any action on this matter again in any Court of competent jurisdiction – per res judicata. The implication of that Ruling is that the Igga community has been estopped and cannot go to Court over the radical title or ownership to Anambra Forest Reserve. See the case of Chief Fabian Ukuta v. SAFRAP (Nigeria) Limited & 2 Ors and Chief A.E.Idigo & 3 Ors – Suit No. E/50/67.

It is also instructive to note that some Odeke indigenes of Kogi State testified as witnesses in this suit in favour of Igga Community, supporting the claim that the disputed land belonged to Igga Community. Is not a contradiction that today, same Kogi people are claiming ownership of the said land? Also, Kogi people never came against SAFRAP Nigeria Ltd or Elf when the two companies were prospecting for Oil in the area.

CONCLUSION

The Igga Community of Enugu State knows that they have no title to the Anambra Forest Reserve, and so have no claim to make on the land. They came in 1967 and demanded compensation from SAFRAP (Nigeria) Limited, which ended in Court, and they lost out. Similarly, in 1984, when Elf Nigeria Limited came for the Oil wells, they quickly demanded compensation, but could not succeed. Now that Orient Petroleum Resources has taken a bold step to commence operations, Igga Community has come again, but, as in the past, they are bound to fail, as they neither have any title to the aforementioned Anambra Oil Wells nor any further claim to make, having been estopped by a Court of competent jurisdiction. In fact, their case was at best considered not only as misconceived or mala fide.

For the people of Kogi State, the combined effect of the Arbitration of 1927, the Legal Notice N0. 126 of 1954 - the Northern Region, Western Region and Eastern Region (Definition of Boundaries), 1954; the Forestry Reserve (Amendment) Order, 1950, which clearly defined the Anambra Forest Reserve as part of Eastern Nigeria (now Anambra State) and the various unchallenged acts of ownership by the Governments of Eastern Nigeria/Anambra State; and the fact that the people of Aguleri have remained in possession of the said land from time immemorial unchallenged, have effectively estopped the people of Kogi State from any claim to the land. From all indication, Kogi people, like the Igga people of Enugu State, will also fail in their claim of Anambra Oil Wells at Aguleri-Otu.

Finally, from the foregoing, it is true and clearly established beyond any reasonable doubt that the Anambra Forest Reserve has the usufractuary title over the land in question, and can use the land at its pleasure and can permit.

whosoever it pleases to fish, farm, and hunt or even cut produce of the forest. This is in accordance with the principle of alienation of land; but the position of the true owners enures, remains untouchable, indispensable and superior to any other title.

In conclusion, the people of Aguleri are the true owners of the land in question – that is – the Orient Petroleum Resources Oil Wells, otherwise known as Anambra River Oil Wells.

Thanks and God bless you all.

OYINBOGOJU: We have seen all what Igbo has to offer.....from Okadigbo to Ojukwu to Orji and host of others.

Nothing good will ever come out of that land except fake Cloths and shoes and also produce prostitutes.

Poverty is your lot, despite Obasanjo and Tinubu slugging it out. Since Awo died, you people have been leaderless. Every Yoruba tom dick and harry is a Yoruba leader these days

All your leaders have either been in prison or have a case to answer with the law in Nigeria or abroad.

OYINBOGOJU: Unless you Igbo recognize Yoruba as your superior in everyways things will always be hard.

Coz you hold the cash but we hold the brain.

Without Ben Akabueze Fasola amounts to nothing. The rest of your governors are dead. You should be praisng us for developing Yorubaland (at the expense of Igboland, I must admit)

Come here and see what Rochas is doing
https://www.nairaland.com/1054852/few-pics-imo-state

Please show me what your other ACN govs are doing.

PROUD-IGBO:
More of the lake....check out all the virgin land just screaming for investors in leisure and hotel management :

This is paradise

Three of five Igbo states are working.
I hope Abia and Ebonyi will wake up soon.

dayokanu: And who was the first and Last Igbo President? Ppl thats cant even rule themselves effectively Always struggling to be boy-boys

Like Azikwe to Balewa, Ekwueme to Shagari, Okadigbo, Ben Obi, Soludo Sylvester ugo

This Houseboy mentality relly runs deep

Like Tinubu was bowing for Buhari whom Ojukwu was even shunning
Bakare was VP to Buhari
In present-day Nigeria, the Yorubas are the ones running from pillar to post seeking relevance.

dayokanu: Do you know what Nwobodo and Arthur Nzeribe are known for?

Yorubas betrayed 2 ppl in one single election? You definitely arent normal

Politicians kill? Do you know who Barnabas Igwe is?

Barnabas Igwe was the man who exposed Okija shrine. He is still alive today. Were he a Yoruba he would be dead.

Yes, you pushed Ribadu o be ACN candidate and threw him under the bus
You had Bakare to be VP to Buhari and they scored zero vote in ile Yoruba.

Arthur Nzeribe was the GREAT Igbo man who dealt a deadly blow to Abiola when he began running his mouth that could do without Igbos.

Nwobodo is just one efulefu compared to the 100s of such people in Yorubaland.

Akintola versus Awo
Tinubu vs HID Awolowo
So many irresponsible self loathing people over there.

OYINBOGOJU: Why Ben Akabueze didn't take his idea to his state and make it work like Lagos and entire yorubaland?

So the entire Yorubaland is working? You must be living in planet mass.

Like Tinubu like Femi: both have run-ins with the USA authorities
Who knows what skeleton Fasola has in his own cupboard. Time will tell.

Exposed: Femi Gbajabiamila Fraudulent Past Revealed!

The Representative now angling to take over from Farouk Lawan as the new Mr. Intergrity in the house, Hon (?) Femi Gbajabiamila, has been exposed as a fraud who admitted to theft of his clients funds while serving as an attorney in the U.S. State of Georgia.

Femi Gbaja as he then was known later resurrected as Femi Gbajabiamila perhaps to hide his fraudulent past and is now positioning himself as an integrity activist in the House of Representatives.

The punishment for Femi Gbaja’s offence would have been outright debarment, however he played dead before a full panel of the Supreme Court of Georgia led by Chief Justice Leah Ward Sears,before the court could rule on the petition from his client, he filed a petition for Voluntary Discipline, filed under bar rule 4-227(b) in which he fully admitted to stealing $25,000 from his client.

The name Femi Gbaja being the name he was being referred to in the case file, accepted payment of $25,000 as a personal injury claims and deposited those funds in his attorney trust account in January 2003. He failed to disburse the funds to his client; instead he withdrew the funds, closed his practice and left for Nigeria where he ran for elections to represent Surulere I Federal Constituency in the Federal House of Representative under the banner of Alliance for Democracy (AD) in 2003. Upon arrival in Nigeria, curiously, Mr. Femi Gbaja added another name to avoid detection, he is known in Nigeria with a compound name “Femi Gbaja-Biamila”.

A cursory look at his bio on the website of the National Assembly (www.nassnig.org) also betrays his crooked intention to avoid detection, while he gave his undergraduate degree college as the University of Lagos; his US education was shrouded in mystery as he claimed to have attended John Marshall Law School, USA. True, Mr. Femi Gbaja is a graduate of John Marshall Law School in Atlanta, Georgia and was admitted to the Georgia State Bar in June 2001 but in the United States alone there are two of such law schools, one in Chicago and another one in Atlanta, Georgia where Femi Gbaja graduated.

In the Georgia Attorney Directory, Femi Gbaja gave his address as 20, Mercy Eneli Street Surulere, Lagos. He is said to have refunded the clients money ($25,000) in 2006 and his lawyers have already submitted a certification of compliance of the Supreme Court ruling as of March 2007. Making him ineligible to practice law in the State of Georgia until February.

The United States Department of Justice has secured a restraining order against more than $3 million looted funds and a mansion in Houston, Texas owned by former Delta State Governor, Chief James Ibori, in the U.S.

Ibori is currently serving a 13-year jail term in the United Kingdom for corruption and money laundering.
The department got the powers through an application filed under seal on May 16, 2012, in U.S District Court in the District of Columbia, to register and enforce two orders from United Kingdom courts against more than $3 million in corruption proceeds related to Ibori.

This was announced by Assistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director John Morton in a statement on the U.SDOJ website on Tuesday.

“The application, which was filed under seal on May 16, 2012, in U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia, seeks to restrain assets belonging to Governor Ibori and Bhadresh Gohil, Ibori’s former English solicitor, that are proceeds of corruption.

“Specifically, it seeks to restrain a mansion in Houston and two Merrill Lynch brokerage accounts. U.S. District Judge Lamberth granted the application and issued a restraining order under seal on May 21, 2012.

“The department was notified today that its application to unseal the restraining order was granted.

“The United States is working with the United Kingdom’s Crown Prosecution Service and the Metropolitan Police Service to forfeit these corruption proceeds,” it said.

According to the application, Ibori served as the governor of Nigeria’s oil-rich Delta State from 1999 to 2007, and misappropriated millions of dollars in Delta State funds.

He laundered those proceeds through a myriad of shell companies, intermediaries and nominees in several jurisdictions, including the UK, with the help of Gohil. Although Nigeria’s Constitution prohibits state governors from maintaining foreign bank accounts and serving as directors of private companies, Ibori and his associates accumulated millions of dollars in assets in the UK and U.S, according to the application.

Ibori was convicted in the UK of money laundering and conspiracy to defraud and was sentenced by a British court on April 18, 2012, to 13 years in prison.

Gohil was also convicted in November 2010 of money laundering and prejudicing a money laundering investigation and was sentenced by a British court to 10 years in prison.

“Instead of working to benefit the people of the Nigerian Delta, Governor Ibori pilfered state funds and accumulated immense wealth in the process,” said Assistant Attorney General Breuer.

“He conspired with Mr. Gohil to funnel millions of dollars in corruption proceeds out of Nigeria and into bank accounts and assets maintained in the names of shell companies and nominees.

“Through the Criminal Division’s Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative, our message is clear: the United States will not be used as a safe haven for the ill-gotten gains of corrupt foreign officials.

“This serves as a warning to those corrupt foreign officials who abuse their power for personal financial gain and then attempt to place those funds in the U.S. financial system,” said ICE Director Morton.

“ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) special agents will continue to work with our law enforcement partners at the Department of Justice Criminal Division’s Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section to investigate and prosecute those involved in such illicit activities and hold corrupt foreign officials accountable by denying them the satisfaction of their illegal earnings.”

The case is being prosecuted by trial attorneys Woo S. Lee and Elizabeth Aloi of the Criminal Division’s Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section.

“The case was investigated by ICE HSI’s Foreign Corruption Investigations Group, HSI Asset Identification and Removal Group in Miami and HSI Attaché London.

This case is part of the Justice Department’s Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative.

“This initiative is carried out by a dedicated team of prosecutors in the Criminal Division’s Asset
Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section, working in partnership with federal law enforcement agencies to forfeit the proceeds of foreign official corruption and where appropriate return those proceeds to benefit those harmed.

“Individuals with information about possible proceeds of foreign corruption located in or laundered through institutions in the United States should contact federal law enforcement or send an email to kleptocracy@usdoj.gov.

“ICE HSI’s Foreign Corruption Investigations Group in Miami targets corrupt foreign officials around the world that attempt to utilise U.S financial institutions to launder illicit funds.
“The group conducts investigations into the laundering of proceeds emanating from foreign public corruption, bribery or embezzlement.

“The objective is to prevent foreign derived ill-gotten gains from entering the U.S financial infrastructure, to seize identified assets in the United States and repatriate these funds on behalf of those affected by foreign official corruption,” the statement added.

OYINBOGOJU: Go back to your state if there is power supply there.

Lagos is working under ACN fashola.

Ben Akabueze and not Fasola is who makes Lagos work. Fasola is busy sharing all the money with Tinubu

Andre Uweh: O.U. K in this instance hasn't said people should vote for him as president come 2015. He wants an Igbo as president and that could be anyone from the south south or south east Igbo.

I very much doubt that after Jonathan any southerner will rule Nigeria again until the Igbo have done so.

OYINBOGOJU: The highest level of betrayer....

Its in their blood,gene and is moving from generation to generation.

Duh! Yoruba Obas sold Abiola to Abacha for a packet of money.
Yoruba betrayed Ribadu and Buhari in the last election
Have you been able to govern yourself?
Why do Yoruba politicians kill one another?

alkadriyar: now u see what i mean?
I knew u had somfin in mind.

Are some cabals different from others?
Are ACN controlled areas not part of Nigeria?

1025: since 1999, there has been just one cabal in nigeria which is PDP.
they are not a political party rather they are a CABAL.
a blood thirsty CABAL.

This is a new angle. But how about the ACN cabal controlling who gets elected into ACN controlled area?

dayokanu: He definitely can't be Yoruba. His ways are far from that of a Yoruba. His names are not those of Yorubas.

Sure he cant be from the same gene pool as Tinubu the self confessed looter and drug pusher leader of Yorubas.

Akinsz: Igbo most confused pple.

Not as confused as Yorobbers who formed AD, closed it and formed AC, closed it and formed ACN
Who appointed Ribadu as their presidential candidate and made Bakere a VP toa northerner, only to turn around and sit at home during voting day

alkadriyar: I believe there must b somfin u like to hear. And if u dont get down 2 bizness, then no show.

What are you blabbing about here?

dayokanu: Is Ebele Azikwe Retardeen Jonathan not Igbo anymore?

At least he is not Yoruba, the biggest looters of Nigeria

skerries: bros please did you see the picture of Aba that was posted yesterday? if you did what can we the igbos in diaspora do
to redeem aba city thanks

Kalu is not the Igbo role model; do you not understand my point? BTW, Kalu is not the Gov of Abia today, is he?

Read me here https://www.nairaland.com/1054501/2015-what-igbo-must#12264049

PROUD-IGBO:
^^^Nigeria isn't ready for an Igbo president as you say, yet you want this 'one Nigeria' contraption to continue?; you don't mind chopping 'oyel' money derived from Alaigbo?; you cannot refer to past posts of yours where you canvassed for the disintergration of this fake union ('fake union' going by your premise that a section of the country must not produce the next president)?; you don't mind someone from your ethnicity becoming the next president, even though your ethnicity has produced more national crooks that have stolen from our collective commonwealth than the Igbo ever have?

You're a repulsive, deceitful, duplicitous, and conniving slimy character that speaks from both side of his stinking mouth.....may you rot in hell!!!

Cheers.

Does he even deserve your cheers? He is a despicable hypocrite.

skerries: to any Nigerian who care to listen, i studied in UK but based in USA and iam a core igbo man, but not a tribalist
when iam dealing with nigerian outside nigeria shore i do not care about your trible beacause we are in this mess togerther.
about Orij Kanu did you know that he bought a mansion in Maryland here in USA, while his enstranged wife lives in another
mansion in North carolina, his mother has her own home in Georgia same Usa.Guys remember that some time last year a lead LovePeddler
died while partying in Orija's mansion, so how could such a bonehead man with questionable character tell us who to vote for
come 2015. Orij Kanu is a disgrace to concept of what igbo stand for, and the ideology of igbo's foundation.

Kalu is not the Igbo role model. That said, he as a human being has a right to voice his opinion. What he says here is his own opinion and not that of the Igbos in general.

belovedaja: None. If there is any then it will be gej, noi, deziani, etc

Thanks. Assuming there is none, is that not how a country should be run? Devoid of godfatherism and cabalism (any word like that?)

doctokwus: If Orji Kalu was trully booed,den Theodore Orji wud b pelted with rocks from olumo rock if he dares deliver any lecture there

Likewise Tinubu the Yoruba tin god deserves pelting with satchet water container.

Jonathan is the president of Nigeria
But which group controls Nigeria today?
Or are we for the first time without a group control? Who are the political cabals of today?
I have no answer; I would like to have one from anyone who knows.

Femi Gbajabiamiala, the Yorua role model

Akinsz: Ibo will only turn naija 2 okrika market

Like you turned it into Bodija market, selling amala and gbegiri, right?
