NaijaRoyalty:
The supreme court governor must Go!

U dont get it, APC or Buhari are trying to blackmail him by making him feel insecure, so he does wat they want.


This is the type of political game played in Nigeria.

Amarabae:
every Nigerian is a tribalist.
we don't love ourselves, we are just tolerating each other

The idiot dont know Nazi Germany Soldiers fell in love with Jewish girls and not only married them but got many pregnant, whilst the holocaust was on going, in various Jewish concentration camp.


During slavery, whites had regular sexual relations with Blacks both heterosexual and homosexual even paedophilic, whilst still categorising them as subhuman.


Till today, white Americans still marry black women, even come to Africa in search of marriage, whilst still trying to wipe Black people out of existence in America.

My point is, relationship, sex and even love is the exception to that particular person but not universal.

DeAlphaMale:
Why naa... Why has this guy decided to embarrass Nigerians

I BET U ARE FROM ONE OF THE DARK SKIN TRIBES?


I ENTER CLUB WITH MY YORUBA BROTHERS AND IT WAS AN AFRICAN JOINT LET US SAY ABROAD, BUT DEM SURPRISE ME.


THEY WERE RUNNING FROM DARK SKIN GIRLS THAT CLEARLY CAME OVER TO CATCH SOME FUN WITH US.

grandstar:
South Sudanese are just tall.

I'm sure if they all ate properly, the average South Sudanese would beat the Dutch. Dutchmen are the tallest in the world, with an average height of 6ft. They were not naturally that tall. It is good food that made them that way.

South Sudanese are by nature just tall. The late Manute Bol, the basketballer was from South Sudan.

GUY, THAT GIRL IS A TOTAL BABE, LOOK AM WELL.

AWON SELF HATING RACIST. BIGOT OSHI



AS FOR RUNTOWN, MA BROTHER, GIVE DEM HOT HOT, U ARE DOING WELL.

Armon:
Guys I am happy that we are indeed brainstorming for our good...

On the issue of OGUN state....Ogun state have seen it self as an opportunist so they maximized that opportunity because of Lagos...this started from big Pentecostal churches that need large auditorium and camping centers Ogun sold there's cheaper and built more connecing roads, later they fought Lagos to grabbed their land back from Lagos thanks to OBJ then ruling FG...many in Lagos may think they are in Lagos but fact is they are in Ogun.

Now so much luck for OGUN as Obasanjo helped rocover their land from Lagos and as well being that oil and gas belongs to FG Obasanjo then allow gas piped to ogun state so that big multinationals can fall on ogun, then obasanjo made better incentives for the companys including security so far they berth there...trust me many multi and trans national company are there. The roads to those places are gigantic....I have been there and those company had no mercy grabbing more lands on the premise of future expansion. This is why I regret OBI and GEJ for not utilizing opportunities they had in our favor.

Now As for Anambra state gas development is key for tremendous infrastructural improvments but achieving that goal will be wonderful but because of the financial involment in development of gas and FG who owns oil and gas to give permits and sundry may not happen...few oil company's standing in Anambra was given permit during GEJ and since they are indigenous company it is expected that FG to give them more incentives to make them prosper and I doubt if GEJ gave them at that time and surely they will not get any in this administration. Now there is already developed gas in abia and Imo we need to seek FG permission to pipe to our industrial zones in Anambra it's money vault breaking but cheaper than developing our own gas hence another problem will this Buhari administration permit such request when south east is not involved in the loan from China

So brothers our woes in development of gas aspect is not entirely our fault and no matter how we paint it is wholly left for FG.

Here is my suggestion to ANSG to meet all companys in Anambra explain all this challenges and give more incentives to companys so that they can happily stay on the likes of security, tax reductions, cheaper lands etc and after prayers and fasting by ANSG to meet FG for gas piping permit or authorization for developing our own gas.

Bro, we have run out of excuses, with the construction of DEEP SEAPORT IN BOTH AKWA IBOM AND CROSS RIVERS, AS WELL AS INTERNATIONAL CARGO AIRPORT IN UMUERI.

There is alot of preparatory work before any substantive work can start on ground.

Wat I propose is that we start with the preparatory work first.


We are just trying to start the discussion and hopefully consultation, with the eventual possibility of a market study to ascertain economic feasibility, gas quantity and locations, identify industrialist in SS and SE that can be potential partners before the development program.

Then we move to the design work.

This is alot of work and we dont need permission to carry out this work.

It is well within the domain of Anambra State Government.

mktinsight:
Ogun today has more industry than Lagos because of proximity, a planned estate, and cheap land and no traffic congestion. There are more industries in Ogun state than in the entire South East including those run by Anambrarians such as Beloxxi and Emzor.

But Ogun is not even all that. Nigeria doesn't have industry like South Africa or Egypt. We import okrika from Europe and America and fabric from China, clothes from Turkey, junk cars from America. Morocco makes 500,000 cars, the only assembly we gave which is Innoson and Peugeot barely assembly 10,000 cars a year.

So not much industry in Nigeria other than food and drinks and some household stuff. Even simple pen and paper we import.

Unlocking the gas potential is the key to our indsuatrial revolution.

Many heavy industry require supply of natural gas.

The first stage to industrial revolution is gas processing plant and gas power plant.

Then, build an advanced infrastructure network of pipeline for gas supplies to industries.


If we target heavy industries and set them up gainfully, soon, industries such as textile, food processing, technical products and crafts, fertilizers, packaging, furniture, metallurgical industries except smelting, rubber and plastic, wood and cork products for printing, and electrical equipment, computers and electronic products, various material component required for car production, will follow.


Any where they find gas, should be industrial city of maybe 3 million square meters developed land plots for industrial purposes, in addition to six existing plants, with the first phase aims to finish 140 factories.

Or are we saying Europe need Africa gas?


Which one have they been using all this time for thousands of years?


Becos i doubt they need gas from Africa.


Wat i understand is that Europe dont want Africa to grow and they are trying to hold us down and back.


That is y they want to take the gas and give us money that will be useless to us, because of corruption.



It is better we create job for our people to sustain themselves, than continue to run to places where they are exploited for slave labour and prostitution.

BeijinDossier:
I have been saying it here. Mktinsight is a cursed demonic fellow that was sent here by the enemies of Anambra. He condemned airport even when he knows without airport major multinational investors will not consider you serious as Anambra is a frontline state in Nigeria. Even without airport and seaport, Anambra is already up there, so how much more when our imternational airport is completed and running, only 2 states like Lagos and Rivers(because of oil) can be above Anambra in the whole of Nigeria.

That is y I said, I was surprise.


He said, people have eyes and they can see wat has been done in Ogun, even leaving LAGOS out, in terms of industry.


This is true, because right before our eyes Buhari is building pipeline to carry our development to Kano and North Africa, even Europe.


Buhari is not talking of building anything apart from gas pipeline for us.


But Buhari want to build gas processing plant and power plant in Kano.


U can imagine, Kano gets a gas processing plant and power plant, even without having gas.



U think they want us to develop or they will develop our area for us?


The same Europe that stole from Africa is taking away our last chance of industrialisation in pipeline to Europe.


How else do we industrialise?

BeijinDossier:
Have you read any reasonable point from that idiot before? He is always positioning himself as if he knows better than even Bill Gates, meanwhile he is just an empty from vagabond.

That is y I said, I was surprise.


He said, people have eyes and they can see wat has been done in Ogun, even leaving LAGOS out, in terms of industry.


It is true, we do have eyes and Deep Seaport construction ongoing in Akwacross, there is no more excuse.


We are not talking of Obiano building such, because he is on handover time now.


We are just trying to start the discussion and hopefully consultation, with the eventually possibility of a market study to ascertain economic feasibility, identify industrialist in SS and SE that can be potential partners as valid starting point for the development program.

Then we move to the design work.

BeijinDossier:
Always posting trash. Can you compare number of multinationals companies based in Anambra to anywhere else in the region? We have had this argument before and I remembered, I took my time on this thread to post screenshots of them with their addresses in Onitsha and parts of Anambra. Smile communication regional office is also in Onitsha.

As for industrial presence both multinational, regional headquarters Anambra is leading in the region by far.

Is Nigerian brewery bigger than the multinational AbinBev based in Onitsha? Indomie only produce in Lagos and PH. Anambra on the other hand have noodles like Tommy Tommy that's even competing favourably well in the market. Are GSK, Nestle in those states you mentioned? No.

Stop coming here to post unfounded rubbish this cursed frustrated bitter idiot. This thread wasn't opened for you, open your own thread somewhere and continue your witchcraft there.


[s][/s]

He actually made a valid contribution and underlying points for consideration, especially the Ethiopia and Ogun case study.


I was even surprise.

.

Hello Brothers


I will go straight to the point.


We have all that is needed to build an indigenous industrial city in Alaigbo.



I was following thread on Barth Nnaji Geometric power station powered by gas and wondering Why Anambra is not presently in consultation to develop and utilise our Gas.


We have the likes of Chicason gas plant and practically all the industrialist that we need to kick start an industrial zone with some help from the Chinese in terms of technological support.



We have innoson car and so many more.


They are all indigenous, so what is holding us again in Anambra?


The earlier we do the industrial revolution, the sooner we can move to the Information technology revolution and build our own Silicon valley or Tech hub.



Any where u discover gas is meant to be an industrial site.



If u fail to do it now, dont complain when Fulani change all your Govs and put your resources in a pipeline to Kano to do just this in Kano. Now u know y Hope Uzordinma was do or die for them, so desperately.


Anambra is next target.

Chief Edwin Clark : Letter to Buhari



Chief Edwin Clark, the acclaimed leader of the South South, has fired an open letter to President Muhammadu Buhari, accusing his administration of marginalising people of his region.

In the letter, dated 12 June 2020, Clark told Buhari without mincing words: that his people have not been treated fairly ” despite our contribution to the economy of the country”.

The letter is entitled: Let us call a spade, a spade!

“The message herein, is a message of truth; encapsulating my thoughts, as well as, the feelings, dissensions, and remonstrations, of the people of the South South Geopolitical Zone, that I have been continuously inundated with.




“I have to state it, unequivocally, the way it is, for the sake of posterity, and in the interest of peace, unity, and progress of our dear country, Nigeria.

“For reasons unknown to me, we have continued to witness discriminative, and unjust actions, against people of South South extraction, under presidency, in the last five years.

“Why is it that people, particularly from the South South Zone, are being treated as if they are not Nigerians, as if they are foreigners, or as if they are second class Citizens, in their own country?

“Situations, whereby, people due confirmation for their positions, are being removed, and replaced with people from particular parts of the country, is not right.

“And the situations are getting too many. We are all Nigerians; we are entitled to be appointed to any position. If our people are not qualified, it is a different matter.

“Discrimination is a danger to any society, particularly, a plural society like ours.”

Below is the full text of Chief Clark’s letter:

Let me, begin by, expressing earnest gratitude and appreciation to Mr. President, for congratulating me, both on my 92nd and 93rd Birthday anniversaries. I deeply cherish the thoughtful gesture, and the kind remarks. As Mr. President, rightly stated in the two congratulatory messages, I have rendered over 70 years of my life to the service of this country, starting from the age of 19. And it pleased the Almighty God to keep me up to this age, and in sound health. Accordingly, as long as, I live, I will continue to work for the good of this country, in any way, I find it possible.

It is in that light, and in view of recent worrisome developments, that I am writing this letter to Mr. President on Democracy Day. The message herein, is a message of truth; encapsulating my thoughts, as well as, the feelings, dissensions, and remonstrations, of the people of the South South Geopolitical Zone, that I have been continuously inundated with.

I have to state it, unequivocally, the way it is, for the sake of posterity, and in the interest of peace, unity, and progress of our dear country, Nigeria.

And the truth, Mr. President, is that the South South Geopolitical Zone has not been treated fairly, by your administration, despite our contribution to the economy of the country. Let us call a spade, a spade!

For reasons unknown to me, we have continued to witness discriminative, and unjust actions, against people of South South Extraction, under presidency, in the last five years.

Why is it that people, particularly from the South South Zone, are being treated as if they are not Nigerians, as if they are foreigners, or as if they are second class Citizens, in their own country?

Situations, whereby, people due confirmation for their positions, are being removed, and replaced with people from particular parts of the country, is not right.

And the situations are getting too many. We are all Nigerians; we are entitled to be appointed to any position. If our people are not qualified, it is a different matter.



Discrimination is a danger to any society, particularly, a plural society like ours.

The recent events in the United States of America, over the ill-treatment meted to Afro-Americans; and the “Black Lives Matter” demonstrations across America, and around the world, should be a lesson to Nigeria; no nation is an island to itself.

Mr. President, about two weeks ago, Colonel Abubakar Dangiwa Umar (Rtd), former Military Governor of Kaduna State, wrote a similar letter to you. The gentleman, pertinently and rightly, drew your attention to the imbalances in your appointments, and warned of the dire consequences, to the nation when he said “I regret that there are no kind or gentle words to tell you that your skewed appointments into the office of the Federal Government, favouring some and frustrating others, shall bring ruin and destruction to the nation”.

Colonel Umar’s perspective is very correct. But, instead of giving conscientious considerations to the issues raised by the retired Colonel, what we saw, were unguarded utterances against him, by some of your aides, and partisan loyalists. That was very sad and unfortunate.

Today, it seems, the only qualifications for appointment in the federal civil service or public service, under your administration, are religion or ethnicity.

Let me highlight, a few of the recent puzzling, and embarrassing, actions of Mr. President, which many have termed, targeted exclusion of the South South from TOP MANAGEMENT POSITIONS in critical sectors of the nation’s Public and Civil Service.

*Replacement of Acting Director General of Security and Exchange Commission, SEC*

Mrs. Mary Uduk, acted as Director-General of the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC), for over two years, but Mr. President did not deem it fit to confirm her as substantive Director General of SEC. It will be recalled that this lady, from Akwa Ibom State, was appointed as acting Director General of the Security and Exchange Commission, by the former Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, following staff reshuffling in the agency, in March 2018.

In view of her track record of service, many in the sector, had expected that she would be confirmed as substantive Director General of the apex stock regulatory body. But, Mr. President, thought otherwise, and instead, replaced her with Lamido Yuguda, a retired staff of Central Bank of Nigeria, somebody from the North, who was a Commissioner working under her in the Commission.

This is a very glaring instance, of the discrimination and unfair treatment against the people of the South South, we have been talking about.

This woman has been part of the system; she has been at SEC for over thirty years. Why should she be treated that way? Was she found wanting in the discharge of her duties and responsibilities as Acting Director General?

*Registrar-General of the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC)*

Again, is the case of Mrs. Azuka Azinge. Mrs. Azinge who had worked at the CAC for about 10 years was appointed acting Registrar-General of the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) for about 2 years. Rather than confirming her appointment, charges were brought against her before the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), that she maintains a domiciliary account, and that she was paid salaries and allowances which she was not entitled to, in an acting capacity, despite the fact the payments were approved by the Board of the Commission.

In a manner unknown to extant laws, the Code of Conduct Tribunal “ordered the Minister for Trade & Industries to appoint a replacement for Mrs. Azinge”. In compliance to this “order” a letter dated 7th January, 2020, issued by the Minister of Trade & Industries, to Alhaji Garba Abubakar, from Bauchi State, who was a principal Manager and former Special Adviser to the former Registrar-General, appointing him the Registrar-General of the Commission. The whole essence of the case was to ridicule Mrs. Azinge, a South-Southerner from Delta State, and get her out of office, for a Northerner to take over.

*Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA*

Another worrisome appointment by Mr. President is that of the Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA.

Dr. Dakuku Peterside from Rivers State was appointed DG of the Agency, in 2016, his term expired this year, he was not re-appointed.

Unknown to, and without the input of the Minister of Transportation, under whose charge the Agency operates, Mr. President, appointed a Northerner, Bashir Jamoh, from Kaduna State, who was an executive director at the Agency, to replace Dr. Dakuku Peterside. Mr. Bashir Jamoh, is reportedly, a father-in-law to one of your aides.

Meanwhile, the Managing Director of the Nigeria Ports Authority, Hadiza Bala Usman, also from Kaduna State, was reappointed for another four years. The two agencies, NPA and NIMASA, are parastatals under the same Federal Ministry of Transportation. Hadiza Bala Usman of NPA, from Kaduna State, was reappointed for another four years, whereas, Dakuku Peterside from Rivers State, was not re-appointed. Worst still, replaced with a Northerner. What could be the logic behind this?

Predictably, just a few days ago, Mr. President, renewed the appointment of the Executive Vice Chairman of Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, Umar Garba Danbatta, which was done expressly, without any hullabaloo. Apparently, because he is from the Northern part of the Country.

It is consequential, Mr. President, to further highlight that, we are yet to see a situation where Northerners have been removed and replaced with Southerners, like it was done in the case of NIMASA, and several other Agenencies.

These situations give credence to suggestions of a Northernizing agenda of the Nation’s public service, by your administration; sacrificing merit, competency, sector experience, and geographical spread, at the altar of nepotism.

*The Situation in the Petroleum Industry*

Let me remind Mr. President, of what played out at the Department of Petroleum Resources, DPR, of the Ministry of Petroleum, last year. The man who was Director there, Mordecai Baba Ladan, from the North, attained the retirement age of 60 years in June, 2017, but he was retained till December, 2019. When he eventually left, consistent with the tendencies of your administration, Sarki Auwalu, also from the North, was appointed to that position. I was made to understand that, Mr. Auwalu, who was an Assistant Director, was appointed Director of the key regulatory Department, ahead of eight Deputy Directors.

While, in the same petroleum industry, Roland O. Ewubare, who is from the South South, was moved from NAPIMS as Managing Director last year, another person from South South was not appointed to replace him. Rather, a Northerner was used to replace him, perhaps, because NAPIMS, like DPR, is said to be one of the strategic subsidiaries of the NNPC.

Interestingly, on the other hand, when Roland O. Ewubare, was earlier, moved from Integrated Data Services Limited, he was replaced with someone from South South, in the person of Diepriye Tariah. I understand, Mr. Tariah, recently, disengaged from the service, and another South South person has been appointed to replace him.

So it seems to me, there are positions in NNPC, reserved for people from the South South, and there are some other positions reserved for people from the Northern zone. Why the discrimination, and seeming snobbery?

Space, and time, will not allow me, to exhaust the appalling injustices against the South South people, in the Oil and Gas industry alone.

Mr. President will recall that I have written several Letters, both open and otherwise, to you on these issues.

While our resources are being managed, and subjugated, mainly by people from other parts of the country, the people of the oil producing communities of the Niger Delta, who bear the brunt of degradation, arising from the oil and gas exploratory activities, receive mere soupçons, and are rendered spectators of the oil business.

Recently, the House of Representatives passed a Motion that the unusual deaths of humans and fishes in Bayelsa and Rivers States, possibly caused by oil pollution, should be investigated. These situations cannot be allowed to continue.

*Former Head of the Civil Service of the Federation*

Mr. President may wish to recall, the instance of the former Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Winifred Ekanem Oyo-Ita, who happens to also come the South South, from Cross River State. A woman, who after several years in the Civil Service of the government of the federation, rose to become Permanent Secretary, and served meritoriously, in two or three ministries before, Mr. President, appointed her Head of the Civil Service of the Federation in October, 2015.

Mr. President, while we do not condone corruption, the way that woman was treated, leaves a lot to be desired.

This lady worked for four years, as Head of the Federal Civil Service, and she was loyal and committed to the presidency. Throughout that period of time, nobody said anything about her. Until, I understand, she had cause to disagree with the late Chief of Staff in the presidency, Mr. Abba Kyari. It was then, that they realised she was corrupt.

When she decided to resign on her own, Mr. President, said no; that she should remain in office. Only to be later humiliated, and disgraced, and now being prosecuted on all sorts of charges. Why? Because she comes from the South South, which is, regarded as a disadvantaged Minority area, where its people can be exploited, ridiculed and maltreated, by anybody. She had nobody to protect her; so, as usual, they treated her in such a shabby manner. I repeat that, I am not supporting corruption, if there is any malfeasance on her part, she should be tried.

*The Case of the former Chief Justice of Nigeria*

That brings to mind, the way the former Chief Justice of Nigeria, he too from Cross River State, was treated as well. I recall, how we appealed, when Mr. President hesitated to confirm his appointment after his recommendation by the NJC. Until the Acting President at the time, forwarded the letter for his confirmation to the Senate.

One had expected his confirmation would have ended the hatred against the jurist but for obvious political and other reasons, and perhaps, having regard to Mr. President’s reelection stratagem in 2019, this man was allowed to be harassed, humiliated, dehumanized, and disgraced, by less qualified, and far junior benchers, like the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, to the extent that, the office of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, was undignified.

And Mr. President, unprecedentedly, without deference to the Constitutional provisions on the appointment of Chief Justice of Nigeria, appointed an Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria; a person who was later queried by the Nigerian Judiciary Council (NJC).

And for no known reasons, the NJC, made up of senior jurists, surprisingly, without making any attempt to rectifying the situation, confirmed the unconstitutional appointment made by Mr. President.

As a Lawyer of over 50 years standing, I was ashamed that the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) could not live up to expectation. I do not know what they are afraid of.

Mr. President, why is this being done to people who have faithfully served this nation, in their various positions. What is going on?

*The 16-Point Demand of the Niger Delta region*

The 16-Point Demand of the Niger Delta region drawn up after our intervention as leaders of the region with the Niger Delta Avengers, for which, I led a 100 – Member Delegation including First Class Traditional Rulers of the region, and which had in attendance Governors of the region, to Mr. President on the 1st of November, 2016, is yet to be attended to.

The Presidential Amnesty Program has now become everybody’s affair in Nigeria. These situations are unacceptable.

The construction of the East-West Road has been abandoned. Recent news reports show the deplorable nature of the road. Motorists and travellers are stock and stranded in the Bayelsa axis, an unmanageable gridlock of trucks and other vehicles has formed stretching to several kilometers. A journey of between 15 and 20 minutes, now last for hours un-end. Same is happening at the Akwa-Ibom/Cross River axis. The East-West Road is undoubtedly the haulage route of the nation’s economy; yet it is a project not qualified as a priority project for the monies recovered from Gen. Sani Abacha to be spent on.

My adjuration, therefore, to the people of the South South, is that they should esteem themselves as Bona fide Nigerians, and be courageous, in fighting for their undeniable rights. Nobody owns this country more than they do; rather Nigeria stands to lose, if there is crunch in our Region because of this injustices, unfairness, neglect, and continued marginalization.

*Conclusion*

Today is June 12, which Mr. President declared, Democracy Day, last year, in place of May 29, and the essence of this day, that is freedom and equality, epitomizes the crux of this letter.

Therefore, as we remember, the heroic courage and sacrifices of MKO Abiola, and all those who have stood in defense of TRUTH, FREEDOM, and DEMOCRACY, may I implore, Mr. President, to discard the togs of nepotism and injustice. And don the noble vestments of inclusiveness, equity, fairness, and justice, for the betterment of Nigeria, our dear country as in the days when the politically motivated Kano State voted against their son Alhaji Bashir Tofa of the National Republican Convention (NRC) and voted massively for Alhaji Moshood Abiola of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), from Souh-West.

That was the height of Nigerian democracy.

I pray that as we celebrate Democracy Day today, we go back to that era where Nigeria was Nigeria; not now when religion and ethnicity decides who is popular and who is better qualified to be voted for.

I am an old man now, I have just celebrated my 93rd birthday, but it would be unthinkable for me, to keep quiet in the face of such injustice, oppression, and marginalization, unfair and unjust treatment, being practiced against my people. I can say, without doubt, we have never had it this so bad.

I do not know when it will please the Almighty God to call me home. But, let me sound this note of warning, THINGS CANNOT CONTINUE THIS WAY!

Graysons:
Oh so the ijaws also own Port Harcourt? you are slow too too slow.

We are not like you Yoruba that phased Ijaw out in Ondo.


However, some elements are pushing their luck.


Brothers do go to war.

Graysons:
always forcing others to be with your pathetic lots.

Which time kalabaris (ijaws) and igbos lost and unholy Jews) became brothers?

Those Kalabari are the closest to a brother the Igbo have in all of Nigeria.

If we quarrel na family matter.

There is nothing to fight over, Port Harcourt also belongs to them.

It is just many of them are dull and buy into Lagos Ibadan propaganda and expect us to accept that, we cannot.

Graysons:
You are a dead brain nincompoop.

I dont think, it is fair i should be exchanging word with an Afonja over Igbo and their Kalabari brothers matter.

Graysons:
I want to know how you drug dealers, thieves, otokoto people, human traffickers, lost Jews, 419, baby factories, producers of fake fake product own Port Harcourt.
You can call me the OSU slayer.

We already know, Afonja will be parading upandan this thread like prostitute.

So no surprise there.

Graysons:
You dumb piece of shlit answer the fvcking question and stop trying to dodged the question? BTW me and worworboy writing style looking look The same to you?

You are a born thief and thief you will remain

Ur crying just began.

Jajaslim:
Pls answer this question;

Where do you Igbos get the word “IgweOcha” from??

In Port harcourt, we Ikwerre people do not have such name in our history, no ancestor had such name, what is today Port Harcourt is Rebisi Kingdom.

So tell me where do you get your IgweOcha from? Which community, which of the ancestor had such name in Ikwerre land?

It is the wharf that is Onu-rebisi.
