No matter what, one thing is for sure, No1 the girl is ugly and i'm very sure it's the pastor that picked the wife for the husband that they will still f**ck, the girl will still scream in ecstasy during sex.

GROWING BEYOND IGBO TRIBAL POLITICS : A CALL FOR NATIONAL POLITICAL PARTICIPATION THE ORJI KALU'S APC'S EXAMPLE by
Benjamin O. Kalu
Founding Partner
SILK PARTNERS LLP


The hard truth I have told my self is that Igbos are fighting a baseless fight when they fight themselves , always faulting themselves while isolating their people from the center where real decisions are made. Little wonder they our understanding of politics is very poor.

Forget tribal politics we are not yet ready to play it, at least not for now. Who will lead us and who will fund the movement?Let us play national politics to help our people. A politics of inclusion not isolation or exclusion is what we need now to be able to raise our head nationally.

The more we alienate ourselves from the center, the more we are isolated from what will benefit our development. Complaints and claims of gross marginalisation as against proper lobbying and negotiations does not get the job, and does not stop the national cake from being shared.

Complaints are yet to release our brother Nnamdi Kanu, this means we need to do more than shout and complain. It is obvious these rantings are not working which calls for a new model to reposition the region politically and economically. The new strategy is what Dr Orji Uzor Kalu has adopted by joining the ruling party where decisions that affect our people are made. Only political neophytes will tag this move any other label but regional strategic political move.

Political ignorance has held us bound so much that sound political moves are now viewed as sacrilegious. What a divided political audience? While most are for the move a few a disgruntled because according to them Igbos have only one agenda now ; The Nnamdi Kanu's Biarfra or at most a regional political party like the South West political case study .

Is the South East matured and ready for any of these two options ? The writer fully doubts the region's preparedness to actualise regional development through these platforms, at least for now.

The above opinion is hinged on that ancient anti socio - political leadership philosophy of "Igbo Enwe Eze" ( igbo has no king)
Which daily digs the grave of their national irrelevance, yet ignorance has beclouded their vision and reasoning for proper national political analysis to know when to take the right step towards the center especially, in the recent times. Costly political misinterpretations and miscalculations has. Wen the bane of the igbos.

Igbos and the stereotyping of Political parties as belonging to the what ever tribe that produced the president is power has been an on going reoccurring decimal from the inception of our new political dispensation. Check out this labelling ; PDP was tagged a Yoruba Party when President Obasanjo from the Yoruba tribe was the president, suddenly it became an Hausa/ Fulani Party for the northerners once late President Yaradua took over the mantle. Immediately, President Jonathan became the president, PDP the ruling party of the day immediately became the Party of the Niger Deltans. Does the writer think that such labelling was a true reflection of the Party status? No.

Today another ruling party APC with President Buhari has once more been declared Hausa/ Fulani Party, it follows it would metamorphose into a Yoruba Party if Vice President becomes the president tomorrow or an Igbo party if Dr. Orji Kalu becomes the President at the right time. This is a wrong classification or categorisation of a national Party with national Spread.

Though the writer is not in favour of this Undemocratic political party classification, it beams some hope which the igbos have failed to see that they could be tagged the owners of a ruling party. The question is why is this too much of a dream for the igbos, why can't they see their expected massive participation in APC positioning them for a greater gain even if it is not for the "ownership of the party" . Since I. The writer's mind, no single man or tribe can own a party and still claim that such party is democratic in nature. Buhari does not own the APC neither is it owned by Gov. Tinubu the Great. APC is owned by all members of the party including Dr. Orji Kalu and Chief Benjamin Kalu who are members of the party and you the reader once you join us tomorrow.

Political Party participation is not only for elections but to create reasonable access to important decision making platforms for members to canvass or lobby the interest of their people in the democracy. Issues like the incarceration of our brother Nnamdi Kanu, the cattle men and their menace around the region, road construction or reconstruction etc.

Years have passed and these issues received no adequate attention. It means that all the noise making and series of complaints have not worked magic to our people and our place. This reasonably calls for a more diversified strategy for the ultimate goal of regional development. The writer with Dr. Kalu have seen that participatory observation within the ruling party is a better show of regional patriotism than our the non participatory stance we took in the last ten years with less result. This should be commended rather than condemned as the participators would make do with some motivation to continue in their current negotiation for full regional socio political and economic integration.

Igbos need this more than they need tribal political party. The South west Political case study engineered by the Jagaban worked because the Yorubas decided to go with one voice. The many voices of the igbos speaking condemnation, insults, baseless criticisms, superiority complex , an unbalanced competition will not allow the igbos to decide to go with one Political Party. While old Anambra believes they are greater and should provide the platform, the old Imo will call them bluff and while they fight to achieve one party, more Igbos will approach INEC to register more Political Parties.
This can only. E achieved with a deep reorientation over a reasonable period of time. Certainly, not an option at the moment. "A fragile region need the strength of each component and of the center to stabilise for a sustainable growth" Benkalu.
I want the critiques of my view on this writeup to successfully task the Governors in the region to facilitate a regional project funded and executed in their tenure which will add economic value to the region then we will. E convinced that the Igbos can come together with a common front politically.

While the regional political maturation is awaited for the ownership of a consolidated front, there are issues that need to be addressed immediately at the center. For example, the menace of the cattle men.

The writer is yet to see any formidable team set up in the region to address this hurtful embarrassment. One would have thought that the leaders of the Biafra would have provided a solution by now since the government of the " zoo" like they call Nigeria has " failed " to address it. Yet daily their father's farms are destroyed and their parents killed or sent to die in hospitals, all is seen is nothing but words of cowardice on face book or insults on real men who are solution seekers at the center.
All you do is insult your elder statesmen, call them names to feel important. Yes OUK is an elder statesman, if you think it is easy then go and govern a state for 8 years.

The question is what are you really doing about it? You do nothing but waste your time chatting on face book. No strategy, no grassroots mobilisation, no organisation, no funding, no planning, no good think tanks ( because you chase the well refined and educated ones away with your deviant approach to issues and bundles of your unreasonableness ), just uncoordinated half educated, un founded opinions just for the sake of a supposedly tribal correctness and applause. So after that then what?


Am sure you know the reason; our ugly anti socio- political ancient philosophy of "

Igbos will never agree to work as one, no trust, we sold out against one another during the civil war and they are yet to recover from that wound. They are afraid of each other, they are too afraid of their economic tomorrow that they sacrifice any one to secure it for themselves and their immediate families. There is no believe in a unified common goal, selfish interest wars against general purpose.

Their mouth work louder and patriotic their heart is cold and selfish on any thing political leadership. That's why recently they occupy the first roll of political stabbers. They even stabbed the famous IKEMBA THE GREAT. I was around when he returned from exile, with the loudness of the jubilation, one would have thought it would transform to real vote when he ran for president. Go check his score in that election and all the igbo candidates all put together. Igbos loved him so much that they voted less for him. It is important to note that Dr Orji Uzor Kalu, who you ridicule instead of repackaging for a greater gain, won the highest vote among all the igbo candidates in the elections.

It is very myopic to think that Biafra remains the only option to our regional development . If Biafra is the only strategy for regional development then our think tank bank is weak on strategic thinking and planning. It is one thing to achieve Biafra it is another thing to run a sustainable growth in a new nation where the participators do not believe in true leadership, where they do not believe in their own, where there is lack of trust etc. check how many units of Biafra organisations you have at the moment created by leadership problems within the circles and as the curtain to the achievement of the dream draws close more will spring up.

The writer's take is that as a people we should adopt diversified ways tied to time to realise the peoples' common goal. The ultimate goal should be regional development and economic empowerment.

Any strategy without an optional approach , in case time and chance affect the initial step is weak in composition. Outside all these uncoordinated noise and with all the money we have as a people, I need to see one, just one program either for the youths or the women that has been sponsored regionally as a formidable front which could be used to lobby or negotiate initiatives for regional development. None!

Ok so they clap for you for calling OUK names and insulting him , then what next? The train is moving and your insults can't stop it, wake up,do more than face book chat, join us now to increase our voice at the center or simply ignore it and allow the decider live with his decision.

Let's be wiser, talk less and think more.

Same with me too Bro.

Seriously the problem with some of these jambites to me is "ego" or/and lack of patience.
I for one wrote jamb just once and it didn't favour me, I quickly sort for admission in a college of education around, while still writing jamb (which I wrote just once) when I got to level two I had already gotten used to the schl environment and learnt how to cope with the inferiority complex, and I gave it my best It wasn't easy but I managed to keep my head up fast forward the 3years came to and end I finished with a distinction, the next year I applied for direct entry in the University and got admitted into part two to the glory of God I an graduate of OAU Ile-Ife. Some of my mates that refused to join me are still writing jamb till now, while I've already bagged two certificates in the space of 6 years.
Life is all about choices anyway and it depends on God almighty. "Patience" and "humility" are key to success.

Godbless all Jambites.

Buhari - The art of recession.

No be when pikin Don chop belle full he /she go remember to write letter??

Poor Marry Poor Rich Marry Rich. Poverty keep circulating.

don't worry dear there is hope.

WomanOfRace:
Hmmmmmm i don't know who you guys are leaving us for o..if the rich come marry the rich,handsome come marry the beautiful ones finish,na who go marry us? abi we no be human being?

Yesterday, a guy i met at the supermarket and wanted just a little chat with him,started telling about homo sapiens, How apes were the old man etc....

Isorrite.....

My fellow people recession is knocking on my door and it says it's coming in peace. Should I open or not??

What do you expect?? It's Islam nau, wickedness and heartless is their motto.

I would never forget the day we, booed this idiot called Governor in OAU. We booed and stoned him and Jonathan.

What is the diffeence between Shiites and terrorist??

chinanu123:
Same way your President looked on when his killer squads unleashed their terror on Shiites

...and the clueless former President looks on, like an slowpoke, that he has always been. Same way he looked on smiling cluelessly when the North East was burning and Dasuki was looting.

I've really never seen anything special or expected anything special from a pastors child. Wetin consign me afterall most of them feed and live on church offering. Especially all these Pentecostal pastors around. Or when did Pastors become Jesus Christ themselves?? Abegi joor....

A serious and responsible girl will never ask you for money to repair your her fone. As for me I've resigned from dating "poor" girls and "please help me girls".

The major problem is the police. You find out that when these robbers are arrested the next day you see them walking freely on the street. The public do not have confidence in the police anymore.

Now what do you make of people that kidnapped that boy and chooped off his joystick?? If those ones are caught how sure is it that the culprits will be sentenced accordingly!??

Why complaining that he was squatting, it's the other way round, in this scenario he is the fan and they are the stars, so he has to pose like one.
Nothing bad at all.


Sharaut to Davido.

Adonbilivit unless...

Like seriously can this be true?? As in how come... But seriously I would rather stay original than be artificial for some few hours. Anyways Great Job from the make up artiste.

I thought you people said Oke is okay??

ambrosini593:
they voted for you and not your APC party. assuming it was based on party you would have won only your LGA. congratulations sir

Jonathan and his love for corrupt, clueless and failed individuals will never die.This Annenih former minister of works who did absolutely nothing but embezzlement. Two fools joined together.

Was it that the mammoth crowds that flooded each of Oke''s campaign never had voter cards or didn't come out?? It's funny how some people think a sleeping party called AD will be wake up in just three months and defeat a ruling party just like that .

The ondo election can be liked to the US election and the victory of Akeredolu islike that of Trump.

Congratulations Aketi.

Give your Mother a Grandchild Ist. Before buying her a car.

I once recommended a friend to a friend to assist in aborting a baby.
Only years later I realised as a "Catholic" I just assisted to commit murder, my conscience still haunts me till date.

Mr, what you and your girl are trying to do is to commit murder, pure murder. Just imagine what you said "That means the child is gone" meaning you even know that it's a child a life.

Just leave that child and allow the child to live. If worse come to worse put up the child for adoption after birth there's totally nothing wrong in that.

#ProLife

Does it mean that all those crowd we were seeing rocking "Oke's" campaigns never had voter cards?

I only came here to see how Afonja haters will express their grieved self's by this post.

That's whom we are Igbo guys rock!!!

Stupidity runs in both couples. Husband senseless and always loosing, now wife too.
