Maze robber as Governor? I wish him luck.

I pity Ukrainians that allowed the two world powers to use their country as battle ground. Many have gone.. the whole place is in ruins yet the Comedian in Kyiv have not understood the harm he has done his country. If he still has a drop of blood in his vein, it is about time he resigns and retires to US asylum.

APGA Presidential hopeful Prof Peter Umeadi during his visit to the Elder Statesman Alh. Tanko Yakasai in Kano to seek his support for 2023 Presidential Election.

Kingcalls:
Evil man.... osibanjo abeg ride on.... if we want to move forward , let us reject people like Tinubu

But the North know how to play politics sha.... they just succeeded in dividing the South West....

They have divided the entire south and middle belt. They have hit heads together. Nodge them on. They offer their support to every Aspirant. They will Fuel the brawl and Watch brothers fight each other . And when the fighters are weak, they will be the one who would be picking the trophy. Fear North!

Waiting.....

Prof Peter Umeadi is the sole Presidential candidate of APGA in 2023. He has promised reposition Nigeria �� in 4 years.

We could have sat on a round table to discuss. We failed to discuss. But when the ashes have been cooled, we will still seat and discuss it. He who makes peaceful change impossible.....

buckeyemedia:
Why did pdp not solve it after 14 years of been in power after they murdered Bola Ige, they Tinubu & Co warned him not to have anything to do with those evil pdp people, but Obasanjo convinced him otherwise.

Sorry Sir, keep resting in peace.

Evil Agent, Hope you didn't see the part where the Nobel Lauret accused the President of endorsing a prime suspect in the murder of Bola Ige as a National Secretary of your evil party? Change your ways now. Stop supporting evil because of Monthly 30k.

Are you surprised Prof? Have you forgotten that birds of a feather flock together? Are you marveled that some people called the party APC -meaning A ll P ardoned C riminals.

[quote author= post=111535279]SOUTH EAST: IS IT NOT TOO LATE?

I have read the recent transmissions by Senator Bukola Saraki directed at my Igbo tribe. I have deliberately kept mum on this as I had earlier resolved to speak less on Igbos as regards the 2019 Elections and 2023 Presidency having said quite a bit. 
Yes, you missed the Eagle among the birds - Prof Peter Umeadi.
Prof. Umeadi was a former Chief Judge of Anambra State has already declared his aspiration to the 2023 Presidency through APGA. He is a man of the people and has promised to reposition Nigeria in 4 years. Let's support him to deliver good governance, with the rule of law in an environment where lives and properties are secure.



However seeing as some of my brethren have swallowed the cheap bait, I will chip this in just to keep the reality before us, at least for posterity sake. Truth is bitter but it's still the best medicine. 

My people say; 'He who does not remember where the rain started beating him, will not remember where it stopped'. 

REWIND TO 2014. 
A new National Party was being conceived. Political Parties, political players and Regions were being wooed to the new alliance. 

'We' Igbos (read South East) vehemently refused to touch it even with a long pole. We packaged, sold to ourselves and bought the baseless propaganda that it was an Islamic alliance that would birth an "Islamic" and "Hausa" Party. Simply because those our brethren heavily invested in the PDP at the time were afraid of losing their vested selfish interests.
Till today I'm still trying to fathom the basis for that wicked and twisted deceit especially as many of those Igbo elites who sold that dummy have since ported to the same APC.

We failed to even identify with that new Alliance. Hence the Party, APC was birthed without any remarkable input from us or presence. The few amongst us who aligned were called all kinds of names and abused to high heavens by us even when they were proven right afterall.

Thus the few Igbos who were part of it were at best fringe players as they didn't have the required clout to make serious demands and do the necessary political wheeling and dealing required in Politics to strike the hard bargains since politics is all about interests and numbers. They were even suspect, so much so that it was only their personal political sagacity that gave them whatever they got.

That Party went on to win the Presidential Election which in truth, most of us never believed it could or would, because of our half baked permutations and poor understanding of Nigerian politics. But it did. 

Curiously we turned up at the fore front of telling this same Party how it should share it's 'spoils of war'. We became hypocritical moral champions with an over bloated sense of entitlement. Who does that, in all political reality and practicality? But we did, even while vehemently and vociferously still refusing to shift our position, style and rhethoric.

We dug in. Supported every bad thing and person against the Party, the elected President and the Administration while denying any and every good done to and for our Region.

Fast forward to where we are today. Almost four years after the 2015 misadventure, we have stayed put at 2015, refusing to move forward, refusing to shift grounds, refusing to play pragmatic politics, telling ourselves the same lies we cooked and bought in 2015 and some more. 

Now barely 5 months to another election, we have started again saying "APC cannot give Presidency to Igbos in 2023". "Buhari cannot hand over to an Igbo man because Buhari hates Igbos". "APC is deceiving you", bla bla bla.

Of course. We will believe Saraki, who has only but a fanthom dream of becoming President and whose only known record is selfishness but we can't believe Buhari who's already President and who has a record of voluntarily picking two great Igbo sons as running mates in the past? Chukwu aju.

It is interesting and vital to note here that the PDP which many of us still proudly support and adore was in power for 16 solid years and in those years there were 4 Presidential Inaugurations and on none of those was an Igbo man found worthy by the PDP of even Vice Presidency and we are still bold to say it is the APC that has not even finished one and a half tenure that doesn't want to give power to Igbos. Odi nma. 

NOW; Seriously, let's be sincere. As things stand today politically, why would the APC even hand power to us Igbos in 2023? 
On what grounds? 
On what records?
On what politics?
Is power given to anyone? 
Is it an appeasement or a gift? 

The APC is a political party. The main focus of a political Party is to hold power and keep it to enable it deliver on its agenda. So if the APC reads that the SE does not want the Presidency or does not have the capacity to help them win and keep power, they will stick with the regions that can and work with individuals who are interested. 

Make no mistake, I have always said, I do not blame us Igbos for the decision majority of us took in 2015. It's our right. But continuing to pretend that it was other regions, Buhari or the APC that made us do what we did then or remain where we are today is purely self deceit and I refuse to play that ostrich game. 

As far back as 2014, I and many others made that argument that Igbo Presidency was very feasible in 2023, ONLY under under the APC, ONLY IF we did a couple of things right politically. I personally continued to speak loudly on that even after the 2015 elections until when I realized that we were not ready to play the politics that was required and now I dare say it may be too late. Or is it not? Time will tell.

For now, we can continue to tell ourselves that we cannot hold the Presidency of Nigeria. I heard and read many of our brethren go from PDP to Biafra/seccesion (read IPOB) to Referendum to "Igbos do not need Presidency but Restructuring" etc forgetting that all that didn't lie squarely with us alone. We think other regions are not reading our body language?

I really don't care what Saraki writes or says because they've all come to realize that it's very easy to play us like a flute. So like Saraki, like Fani Kayode, like Fayose, like Atiku, even Jonah Jang of all people, they keep playing us.

I've learnt not to bother myself anymore to avoid unnecessary mentions from nonentities.
As some of us have said, it's good governance we want, even if only one village will be producing the Presidents. So be it.

Will superb hand writing from Buhari add anything to the economy?

My answer :The Kingdom of God suffereth Violence, only the violent taketh it by force.

Fake?

Prof. Peter Umeadi is the man for the job of Nigerian President in 2023. Support Umeadi to Reposition in Nigeria in 4 years.

You see, they don start this useless Trekking wey dey keep us hungry

Good luck to him as he prepare to take up the gauntlet.

Dave should vacate

Femi is doing everything to earn his bread. It's his opportunity that keeps knocking since 2015 and he is at the door mouth answering.

Obasanjo said, “I cast a cursory look at some of the people running around and those for whom people are running around. If EFCC and ICPC will have done their jobs properly and supported adequately by the judiciary, most of them would be in jail
In my place, if they speak to you in parables and later explain that parables to you, then the dowry paid on your mother's. Head is a waste.

Any evidence to back such claim?

I wonder how this happened in Ekwulobia and we did not hear. Not even one mainstream news media carried the news.

Why this comments because of Lion head? Don't you know that cows are always afraid of Lions?

TheNiceGuy:
Shut it there. MURIC has always been objective, you and your ilks are just clouded with sentiment.

I'm very sure if this victim were to be a Muslim, you'll terrorize MURIC and call Prof Akintola many unprintable names.

I give Prof Akintola credit for speaking up objectively for the first time since coming into public space in this matter concerning the Policeman. But saying he has been objective is a lie from the pit of hell. He is more like an agent of destabilization and enemy of National unity. From all his past contributions to National discourse, it's apparent that Prof Akintola - and you also, as is evident from your own post - view issues with sectional, ethnic and religious lens. Please you guys should change for good.

Which one is child actor again. Why not describe as former child actor. Or simply, Nollywood Actor.

For the first time, the mumuric fella used his reasoning faculties. Bravo!

How do you spend other days? Busy body!

Because they oppose terrorists they became Muslim haters. What is muric implying self?

So all these Arm chair browsing is to prove that someone who is better than you is not manufacturing a made in Nigeria car? For your information no car Manufacturer produces - even in the western world - all the parts of an automobile. So is IVM. You better channel your energy to become more productive like Innoson and stop backbiting.

12Monkeys:
Ebonyi state was named after the River Ebonyi which in turn was named by Marrano Jewish slavers who navigated the river to get to the source of their Igbo commodity.

Just like the Yaribanzas, you Ebos got your name from outsiders

Tell us what Ebonyi means in Igbo if at all it is an Igbo word.

Ebonyi is an Igbo word so why you asking what it means in Igbo. It's like asking an English man what Thames means in English. Be guided 'Ebony' is entirely different from 'Ebonyi' . Don't misconstrue the two thinking they are the same. Know this and know peace.
