kingbang: Don't mind that brainwashed clown coming here to lie! Me that visited that area recently ooo. Some people and cheap lies sef. |
Dkobo: guy, wat are u trying to say here! Dat pete obi is workin or wat?Peter Obi did his best, he came to Anambra when Anambra state was nothing, no security, no infrastructure, government house, ABS was pulled down by Ngige and his ilks. Ngige did not construct a single road in my LG Anaocha, (i stand to be corrected) but as i'm typing more than 15 road has been completed thanks to Peter Obi administration |
Ujujoan: This contest is not between Obi and Ngige? And yet most of the campaign materials have Obi's face boldy printed on them . . .Guy you are "slowpoke" which road in Ekwuluobia is a death trap? Just name 1 road there and i will go and snap it now, idiota. Carry your stinking nose go to your state ok! Leave Anambra for Anambarians. You don't even worth replying |
Gbawe: My guy, the Schools in Onitsha may actually be good and adequate for the purpose they are meant to serve so don't let him drag you down to a level where you retaliate, for his put-down of Osun, via denigrating Onitsha Schools. The bottom line, as pertains to Osun, is that what obtained before were inadequate and glorified shed not even fit to breed animals in let alone serve as schools for children. It makes total sense for ten or more 'sheds' masquerading as schools, with some built by Awolowo decades ago, to be replaced with one model school which provides a conducive, modern and well-equipped centre of learning.Aregbesola managed to build 1 school after demolishing over 300 hundred school in Osun state? Old modern structure for the matter? And it worth celebrating? |
emiye: You mean 200 elementary "poultry house" school in Onitsha.?Yet kids from the "poultry house" are academically sound (best in the country) than nuisances from Osun state |
Omexonomy: Amala and ewedu politics is comming to an end. And i believe it is dieying. |
RoyPCain: the pics brought tears to my eyes.#chai! Tears roll from my eyes |
[quote author=Okija_juju]You mean these children?! https://cdn.pmnewsnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/DSC0296.jpg[/quote]Okija-juju it no go better 4 you, i nearly fall from okada, imagine aboki de ask me wetin de do me as i de laugh like mad man |
mayorall: Stumbled on this on my way to school this morning, its my normal route when going to school, but its being long I have been to the place cos of the long holiday.Op pls like how elementary school is in Osun state? How many of them is under construction? Pls this is 21st century we talking about, we can not use construction of "1" elementary school out of supposedly 400 or more elementary schools in Osun state as a yard stick for the said Aregbe revolutionary policy in education |
Gbawe: You guys are as so easy to predict because of your hatred for the SW that means you will alway only talk one way and one way alone. It is you guys who delighted in spamming the web with pictures of run down schools in the SW. Now that Aregbesola's revolutionary approach is delivering a new standard every normal and well-adjusted person should praise, we predictably still find the only haters to be your sad and pathetic ilk. May god save your souls and help your kids develop the resolve that will make them reject the indoctrination that has ruined you.Nice development! Up Aregba! But the school above doesn't worth the celebration though its nice for a state like Osun |
olaezebala: Check my posts very well and u'll see u just said exactly what I'm trying to prove.More grace to your elbow, your post is a big eyes opener to people of Osun state who bears the pain of bad leadership. Little wonder, people from Lagos, Ogun, Ibadan etc who have never visited Osun state in their life will stay in the comfort of their rooms telling lies how a particular governor have transformed their state without any fact. The politics of closing/merging and pulling down schools build by previous govt instead of rehabilitating and building new ones is senseless to me and should be condemn in totality. |
kaze4blues: U are clueless.Another truth just bust out... The touted Aregba modern school have not been completed even 1 Opon imo out of 3500 only 600 hundred has been delivered after 5 month |
emiye: Many of the old schools are best pulled down, no point refurbishing those "poultry houses".•100 elementary school in the whole of Osun state? •50 middle schools? •20 high school? Somebody tell me this is not true. There are over 200 elementary school in Onitsha only |
Mugger ko' mugu ni' #abegi make we hear something |
Femi you have spoken well, though i will still ask you some few questions but let me reflect first |
Other than the usual congratulations, platitudes, expressions of joy and offerings of thanks to God I believe that as we celebrate our nation’s 53rd independence anniversary it is time for us to bare our minds in a candid and frank manner and to really sit down and think. During her election campaign just a couple of weeks ago, Angela Merkel, the Chancellor of Germany and the world’s most powerful woman, said ‘’multiculturalism is dead in German.’’ In 2011, David Cameron, the Prime Minister of Great Britain, echoed the same sentiment when he asserted, in his first major speech as Prime Minister, that ‘’multiculturalism has failed in the United Kingdom’’. Can we learn anything from these assertions as Nigerians about the shortcomings and dangers of a multicultural state? What are the implications of these observations for Nigeria’s massive multi-cultural and multi-ethnic super-state? Are we really a nation or are we nothing more than a melting pot of squabbling and bickering ethnic and cultural incompatibles? Was Chief Obafemi Awolowo right when he described Nigeria as ‘’not being a nation’’ but a mere “geographical expression’’? These questions surely need to be answered. On September 11, 2013 1.6 million people of the Catallan region in Spain staged a dramatic protest and expressed their desire for secession by forming a 400 km long human chain which stretched from one end of the region to the other. According to the polls 52 per cent of the people from that region wish to break off from Spain and establish a new European sovereign state. Similar agitations have emanated from other parts of Spain over the years some of which have degenerated into a bitter and protracted armed struggle such as that of the Basque people in the north who share their boarders with France. Again the palpable tensions that exist between the French-speaking Walloon people of northern Belgium and the Flemish of the south are legendry and the call for a break-up of that nation into two separate entities is as old as the hills. Such aspirations and agitations for ethnic emancipation from unitary and quasi-unitary states is by no means limited to the European mainland. For example the beautiful ‘’emerald island’’ of Ireland successfully broke off from Britain in 1921 after much agitation, conflict and bloodshed. Northern Ireland, which remains part of Britain till today, still experiences varying degrees of tensions between the protestant and the ‘’Finian’’ catholic communities, one of which wishes to remain in the UK whilst the other wishes to be part of mainland Ireland. Over the last twenty years Britain itself has finally acknowledged the fact that the cry for regional autonomy, secession and ethnic nationalism cannot be resisted forever and she has gradually devolved power from Westminster in London to the various regions of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland each of whom now have their own parliaments. As a matter of fact later this year the people of Scotland are having their own referendum to determine whether or not they wish to stay in the United Kingdom. From the polls, it is very clear that the majority of Scots wish to have their own new sovereign state and that the Scottish Nationalist Party, which has championed the secessionist cause, enjoys massive support. FEMI FANI KAYODE Nobody in Spain, Belgium, Ireland or the United Kingdom has insulted those people or labeled them as ‘’ethnic jingoists’’ or ‘’primitive tribalists’’ for wanting to break off from the greater whole and establish their own country. This is because everyone respects the right of the various ethnic groups and nationalities within their wider nation to exercise their right of self-determination which is an integral and fundamental aspect of international law. Exercising that right does not turn them into villains and does not make them any less patriotic than their compatriots who do not share their views. It just means that they have a different perspective and that they believe, as many believed before Malaysia and Singapore broke up and before Indonesia and East Timor broke up, that the interests of their various peoples are better served when and if they go their separate ways. They opted to be friendly neighbours rather than to be compelled to remain within the same territory against their collective will. As we in Nigeria approach the 100 year anniversary of our 1914 amalgamation and, as the 2015 elections are fast approaching with both the northern region and the south-south zone desperate to take or to hold on to power at any cost respectively, we need to begin to ask ourselves some basic and fundamental questions about our future. For example is our interest better served by remaining as one nation or is it time for those nationalities that wish to leave the federation in a peaceful and orderly way, as a result of a legitimate and honest referendum, be allowed to go? If the breaking up of larger countries into smaller and more viable ones is good enough for India (which broke into three), the Sudan (which broke into two), Czechoslovakia (which broke into two), Yugoslavia (which broke into five), the Soviet Union (which broke into fifteen), United Arab Republic (which broke into two) and numerous other countries over the years why is it not good enough for us? Again why should those that believe that Nigeria ought to break up be subjected to so much suspicion, ridicule, contempt and insults from those that do not share their views? Some of the questions that need to be answered are as follows- firstly is our union working? Secondly is our marriage a good one and if it is it a happy one as well? Are we satisfied with what has essentially become a country that has been turned into nothing more than (with apologies to Chief Bode George) ‘’Turn-by-Turn Nigeria?’’ where each ethnic group simply looks forward to enjoying its time to control the federation and all the nations resources from an all powerful centre? Are we not meant to be far more than this? Is this what the founding fathers of our nation envisaged? More than anything else the recent Igbo/Yoruba debate over the issue of who owns Lagos state and the deportation of a handful of Igbo destitute back to the east has proved to me that we as a people are very different from one another and that our interests may be better served if we are no longer bound together as one. I dare to voice this opinion even though many Yorubas share it but will not say so publicly. Is it not time for us to begin to accept the bitter truth that our marriage is uncomfortable and unhappy and that it may not have been made in heaven or ordained by God? Is it not clear that each region or each nationality ought to be able to develop at their own pace? Is it not time for us to have a confederation of nationalities in Nigeria and to restructure the country drastically to give maximum autonomy to the various regions and nationalities or indeed is it not time to just break up and go our separate ways? Many may disagree but one thing that I believe that we can at least agree on is that perhaps it is time for us to be courageous enough to begin to talk about these issues openly and debate them. We must not sweep our differences under the carpet and ignore them as if they do not exist but instead we must find the courage and muster the resolve to acknowledge them and understand them. As far as I am concerned this is the challenge of our time and these are the questions that need to be answered. Whatever happens in 2015 and whoever wins, whether it be a northerner or Goodluck Jonathan of the south-south, I see blood on the horizon and I see disaster approaching. Stark promises from notable players such as ‘’there will be bloodshed if Goodluck is not re-elected’’ do not help and are not encouraging. There are equally strident and bellicose murmurings from the other side as well and some have threatened that if there is a repeat performance of the massive rigging that the north witnessed in the Presidential election of 2011 anywhere in the country in 2015, ‘’Nigeria will burn’’ whilst another key player said that ‘’both the dog and the baboon shall be soaked in blood’’. These words must be taken very seriously indeed and they reflect the thinking and mindset of millions of people from both sides of the political and regional divide. Worst still, whether we like to admit it or not, religion has now become a major factor in our politics with Christians being told in their churches that it is their solemn duty to support a Christian presidential candidate and Muslims being told in their mosques that it is theirs to support a Muslim. We are sitting on a keg of gunpowder and in my view 2015 really will be the year of make or break for Nigeria. Sadly, in my humble opinion, it is far closer to ‘’break’’ than it is to ‘’make’’. If we wish to avoid the road to Kigali we must change our mindset and make the necessary concessions that we need to make. We must begin to think outside of the box and be far more innovative and adventurous. For example why is it a must in the minds of some that the PDP must field a southern Christian as its presidential candidate and why are some in the APC of the view that the party must field a northern Muslim as its own? These hard and fast fixed positions are most unhelpful and the right thing and proper thing to do is to completely discard them and attempt to find a presidential candidate that is a Nigerian before being a northerner, a southerner, a Christian or a Muslim. And thankfully there are quite a few of such people around in the new generation if only the system will be far-sighted and enlightened enough to allow them to emerge and run. Failing that we must open up the space now and consider the unpleasant assertion that the premium that a united Nigeria attracts may not be worth paying simply because we are getting nothing but failure after failure and sorrow after sorrow as our consistent return. I do not have all the answers and neither do I claim that I do. Indeed I may well be wrong which is why I would be interested in hearing the views of others. Whichever way it goes and regardless of what we all think let us not allow this debate to be driven by the uninformed or ignorance, pettiness, hate and acrimony. Let us not insult one another or act as if any tribe or nationality is a collection of angels whilst others are nothing but demons. Let us join issues and exchange ideas in a civil, restrained and decent manner without hurling insults at one another or allowing our emotions to becloud our thinking. At the end of the day we all want the same thing- namely, to put in place a system that is in the best interest of the Nigerian people and to empower a new leadership that will allow them to achieve their full potentials. That is the objective and that alone. Permit me to end this contribution with two points that are worthy of note. Firstly Chief Bola Ige once said that ‘’the oil of the Niger Delta area acts as a glue that keeps Nigeria together’’. This is true. Yet the question that often comes to my mind is as follows- If the oil and gas had been situated in the core north, the west or the east would the major ethnic groups that hold sway in those areas have willingly shared it with the rest of Nigeria? Would they have remained in the federation? Secondly at the 1954 Constitutional Conference that was held in Lagos, the Action Group, under the distinguished leadership of Chief Obafemi Awolowo, demanded that the “right to secession” be included in the proposed new constitution. This was rejected by the Colonial Secretary, Oliver Lyttleton. Prior to this, in 1953, after the Kano riots, the Northern Nigeria legislature passed an eight-point programme which in effect demanded the dissolution of the Federation. Again this was rejected by the British. By way of contrast the ‘’right to secession’’ clause was incorporated into the Ethiopian constitution in the 1990’s though it has never been invoked. Perhaps if we had been permitted to adopt that provision in 1954 we would have avoided a whole load of problems including a very brutal civil war between 1967 and 1970 and today’s challenge of Boko Haram. Perhaps it is not too late to adopt it now. Perhaps that is what may save us from the impending carnage of 2015. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/10/time-think-femi-fani-kayode/ |

Ujujoan: It still doesn't change much . . .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 hands down by Andy Uba on a seat that wasn't vacant. Obi took Uba to court and told him that dia was no vacancy in Awka govt House. 2009:- Dr. Tunde Ngige contested for the office of the governor again and was miserable 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 for 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. |
