So you do not care about Imo's future or the character of those that lead her or the fundamental human rights of the citizens he has blatantly violated? Assuming but not conceeding that Ohakim has suddenly turned Imo to a paradise so we should forget all the above I mentioned because of the paradise. But where is this your paradise? I was in Owerri Two weeks ago and I spent  week there.  Last year he dualized Owerri-Okigwe road up to Orji because GEJ was coming then just the way he did the Amaraku and Anara whitewashing just because Yaradua was coming then. When the elections were close by he suddenly started the Owerri ringroad to deceive Ndimo. WE know how 419ners operate and they cannot get us again.

solotuonye:
You really don't get my point of being here. I am not here to tear anybody apart. I am here for the greater good. So many things are involved in politics,

You are only posting the one they said Ohakim did. What of the destruction of Horn newspapers by Rochas thugs? What of the Kidnap and beating of a politician by Ararume's thugs?

The point is that these things are not going to move Imo forward if we keep dwelling on them. Ohakim is there and has started many projects already. All the likes of Rochas and Ararume can bury their hatchet and join him. Ararume has already done that and we need Rochas to do same. We know that the outcome of power tussle is not always pleasant. we can change our future for the better or worse. We can actually determine what happens to us. Lets be reasonable.

I am amazed that your rebuttal of Samuelson's records of Ohakims's human right violations was just to try to balance it with the alleged burniung of the horn by alleged Rochas thugs and that done by Ararume's and you keep inviting us to come home and reason with you. You could do a better proipaganda work than this and the amazing thing is when you or Ohakim are called out you start crying 'Insult' as below.

solotuonye:
You can't go on insulting me because I didn't insult you. All I was writing is for everybody to investigate what he hears because we can be in the same hot seat. You are the one using sentiments because you are not in the state, but just acting on what you hear.

If an organized syndicate is to rubbish fashola and what he has done, those outside Lagos will not know better. They will only see fashola as evil until they come to lagos. That is exactly the same thing I am saying or do you want me to join in criticism because others are criticizing?

When I wrote the following:

houvest:
Which of the incumbent governors is struggling for reelection this year except ohakim if he has done so well. |If the power of incumbency and with the whole govt machinery behind him can only take him so far what does that say of him.|All you 419 folks are smart and know how to deceive and impress folks out of their valuables but Imo folks know what happened to them before they did the Otokoto riots. They see you 419 people have brought back that reign of terror back through Ohakim. They kno for sure that his return will seal up the fate of Ndimo and bag them finally for the kill. |AFTER Ohakim, he will hand over to another 419 man from Owerri Zone maybe Damaco or fighter or Ability who knows?

How did Imo even get to this level it is struggling for its life from the hands of 419 ppl. Udenwa, OBJ and Iwu have a lot of questions to answer Imo ppl. IN their bid to stop the bad Ararume, they installed the evil Ohakim, thereby installing the dynasty of 419 rulers in Imo when Imo had chosen APGA. Ohakim symbolised the capture of Imo by naming IMSU after his godfather and the Baron of them all, Evan/s Enwerem. Cry my beloved state.

Below was your response:

solotuonye:
You have not helped this discussion. You only insulted the Governor the more and you know I cant continue with you because you have refused to see reason. I am an Imolite and want the best for Imo. The best for Imo is not about this candidate or that but can only be achieved through suing for peace. Thats why I am here.

So why are you asking us to reason with you?

Another view:


The chicken has finally come home to roost. All the deceit, fraud,
electoral manipulation and pure madness in the political environment
of Imo state have now been exposed.

Who would believe that after painting a picture of a performing
governor just to deceive the public that Ikedi Ohakim would be in
the thick forest (OKOHIA) over the governorship election in Imo
State?.
Who would believe that after painting the Most Distinguished Senator
Ifeanyi Godwin Araraume with tar brush that Ikedi Ohakim in company of
his wife Chioma would on the 27th April 2011 visit the distinguished
senator in his country home at Isiebu Mbano L.G.A and prostrated flat
on the floor begging for support under the watchful eyes of Chief Tony
Chukwu, and other people too numerous to mention?. Again who would
believe that after wasting an estimated N7.8 billion of state funds on
his so called re-election campaign, that Ikedi Ohakim would be on his
knees begging Traditional Rulers and other state holders in the state
to go and plead with Owelle Rochas Okorocha to step down from the
governorship race?.

The lesson to learn from the above revelation is that it is good to
have a good legacy which would always count for you in times to come,
Leadership is all about service and genuine commitment to the people.
Our lord Jusus Christ demonstrated this leadership otherwise called
“SERVANT – LEADERSHIP” when he climbed down from his Olympian height,
bent down and washed the feet of his own disciples.
Our Lord Jesus Christ cured the sick, he healed the blind, he fed
the hungry, he saved many lives. Inshort, Jesus was sinless, morally
perfect and he led a pure life. I have used our lord Jesus Christ to
prove that leadership is all about service to humanity.


The question now is why did Ikedi Ohakim climb down from his Olympian
height as the governor of Imo State and committed the following
atrocities against mankind?

(1) He ordered the humiliation of Rev.Fr. Eustace Okorie.
(2) He personally stripped this writer (Citizen Ikenna Samuelson
Iwuoha) naked at gun point in the office of the governor.
(3) He personally flogged this writer with koboko in the office of the governor.
(4) He sleeps with women of easy virtue in the office of the governor.
(5) He criminally increased his security votes from N1 billion to N
4.5 billion within a period of four (4) years.
(6) He established a kidnap squad in the state which he uses to
intimidate the people of the state.
(7) He is seriously involved in so many fraud and scam activities in the state.
( He is involved in so many white elephant projects in the state
with the sole aim to siphon state resources.
(9) He is seriously involved in so many money laundering activities.


(10) He destroyed the properties of innocent citizens of Imo State.
(11) He destroyed the economic activities of helpless Imo citizens
without a single compensation.
(12) He used the judiciary to persecute and prosecute people who stood
up to challenge his evilcratic , jezebelic and dictatorial tendencies.
(13) He criminally abused state funds and used same to acquire
properties all over the world. EFCC report have already confirmed it.
(14) He abused his power and used same to clamp many members of the
opposition into unwarranted detention on frivolous and useless
allegation. Eg Dr. Alex Obi, Citizen Ikenna Samuelson Iwuoha , Mr Eze
Madumere, 13 years old boy who sells pure water. Etc. etc.
(15) The illegal dethronement of Traditional Rulers. Eg EZE Dr.
Oliver Ohanweh.
(16) He is looting the local government funds. EFCC have equally confirmed it.
(17) He used his criminal tendencies to hack my telephone line and
used it to send text messages to people attacking and blackmailing the
person of Owelle Rochas Okorocha.

The atrocities of ikedi Ohakim are too numerous to mention here. Now
that elections are with us, Ohakim is finding it difficult to convince
Imo people to vote for him. Hence he is applying the rigging tactics.
I have already exposed his strategies to rig himself into office again
in my numerous write- ups. Please see attached (1) AS INEC CONCLUDES
PLANS TO RIG ELECTION IN IMO STATE FOR IKEDI OHAKIM (2) THE RIGGING OF
APRIL 9TH 2011 ELECTION BY PDP, INEC, AND IKEDI OHAKIM IN IMO STATE.
(3) REJOINDER:: BLACKMAIL TEXT MESSAGES IN CIRCULATION.

At this point let me state that Ikedi Ohakim’s strategy of cloning and
hacking my telephone line to blackmail Owelle Rochas Okorocha is such
that if he succeeds in his evil attempt to kill me, then Imo people
would turn around and hold Rochas Okorocha responsible for my death.
But this plan failed because NDI-IMO knows that Ohakim is the person
attacking Rochas through my hacked telephone line. Almighty God has
already exposed Ikedi Ohakim as a criminal and a lunatic who must fail
and be disgraced in Imo State.

In the conducted governorship election held on the 26th of April 2011,
Ikedi Ohakim failed woefully. Hence he is using his so called power of
incumbency to frustrate the official announcement of the actual
(genuine) results. He connived with INEC to announce that APGA won in
12 LGAs, PDP won in 11 LGAs , ACN won nothing and 4 LGAs results are
“in-conclusive”. But from the Booth Agents results received across the
state and also from the police reports, APGA won in 15 LGAs , ACN won
in 9 LGAs, while PDP won in only 3 LGAs . This is the true and genuine
results.

Now that INEC has announced that “fresh election “ would be
conducted on the 6th of May 2011 in 4 LGAs (Mbaitoli, Ngor-Okpala,
Ohaji/Egbema, and Oguta) the people of Imo State in these 4 LGAs must
definitely show their disdain on Ikedi Ohakim by voting against PDP.

It is very unfortunate that a desperate and frustrated lunatic called
Ikedi Ohakim wants to govern Imo State again, but all his plans have
come to an imminent fatal end.
This is the only opportunity for the people of Imo State to prove to
Ikedi Ohakim that he is not wanted in the state again.


The change which the people of Imo state have long desired is here and
we must never allow this opportunity to slip us by.

Eziachi:
I take it that the election is finally over? With a bang, back to the most usual and most palatable subjects- Igbo, hate and more hatred.
I will be in hospital for at least for 3-4 weeks for a quadriplasty procedure on my knee.
So hopefully I will still keep in touch with NAIRALAND from my hospital bed.

Sir Eziachi i wish you 'soonest recover.'

solotuonye:
I am not sure you are in Imo. If you were, you wouldnt see injustice and stand by it. Calling us Ohakim supporters is ignorance. I need you to come home and together we can investigate all allegations against him. I dont want to be fooled by some crafty people into believing all false info and then make a mistake I will regret later.

nomsofidel:
@Houvest, I think I understand what Solomon is trying to say. I was in lagos when I applied for the 10,000 jobs and people said he ripped us off. But I didn't get the job but my friend who got it said she didnt know anybody, so did many other people say. But from outside people were talking all sorts of things about him and I was believing. When I came home, I came to realise all the things I heard was not true afterall.

My reply to you is this. Same as iudoagwu. Answer as many names as you want.

What strikes me most about you defenders of Ohakim is that you stroll to NL and other Internet fora whenever Ohakim is in trouble and start spamming the whole site. Like when he flogged Samuelson in the governor's office, when his aides beat up a catholic priest, when his entourage beat someone up on Lagos streets. I suspect that it is one or two  old NLers that will suddenly want to appear to be many folks supporting Ohakim. But go to the online voting and check out Ohakim's popularity on NL here. Go to the streets of Imo and hear the mind of the ppl. Ask yourself why Ohakim is so much involved with violence. The annoying thing is that he will do it and tell you that nothing will happen. And this is rubbing off on his boys who now see themselves as kings in their areas. They foist on the communities their choice of ezes, Town Union executives, community leaders, LG and CDC coordinators and of course it is their fellow 419 men. They grab land of others kidnap or kill opposing figures and Ohakim keeps beating the drums for them while he will run to Yaradua and ask him to call Udenwa to order for meddling in Imo then THe resolve to throw out Ohakim is strong because if not he will destroy Imo and  gradually Igboland by completely empowering evilmen in Alaimo and Alaigbo. Ndimo must resist this at all costs. The 1996 revolt against evilmen called Otokoto riots is being replayed here through the polls. They are trying to thwart it and we must say no.

solotuonye:
You have not helped this discussion. You only insulted the Governor the more and you know I cant continue with you because you have refused to see reason. I am an Imolite and want the best for Imo. The best for Imo is not about this candidate or that but can only be achieved through suing for peace. Thats why I am here.

solotuonye:
Bros,
Lets not fight here ok, I respect your opinion but I think we can stand taller than allowing people to pitch us together. I stated earlier that I am not here to campaign for anybody but here to appeal to people to see reason and work together for the betterment of imolites. Its how we present ourselves that people will take us.

When I was away, we were a laughing stock because people said we are not respecting our governor. Its not good at all. You and I know that sometimes, we can save the day by allowing peace to reign. We all know the likely fall out of power tussle and we are trying to avoid it. We are looking at an Imo where all the people fighting for power can come together and allow the Governor to finish his remaining tenure peacefully. He started some projects which will be completed in another 4 yrs and he cant overstay it. We dont want them abandoned.

With the way imolites are going, Imo may burn and we wont profit from it. We can beat our chest and forgive and for the sake of peace, allow him to finish 4 yrs. Do you think he doesnt have conscience, he will certainly make up for his mistakes and make Imo greater, but he cant do it without me and you. I respect you and your opinion my brother, but lets sue for peace and allow Ohakim a breathing space to prove himself.

Which of the incumbent governors is struggling for reelection this year except ohakim if he has done so well. |If the power of incumbency and with the whole govt machinery behind him can only take him so far what does that say of him.|All you 419 folks are smart and know how to deceive and impress folks out of their valuables but Imo folks know what happened to them before they did the Otokoto riots. They see you 419 people have brought back that reign of terror back through Ohakim. They kno for sure that his return will seal up the fate of Ndimo and bag them finally for the kill. |AFTER Ohakim, he will hand over to another 419 man from Owerri Zone maybe Damaco or fighter or Ability who knows?

How did Imo even get to this level it is struggling for its life from the hands of 419 ppl. Udenwa, OBJ and Iwu have a lot of questions to answer Imo ppl. IN their bid to stop the bad Ararume, they installed the evil Ohakim, thereby installing the dynasty of 419 rulers in Imo when Imo had chosen APGA. Ohakim symbolised the capture of Imo by naming IMSU after his godfather and the Baron of them all, Evan/s Enwerem. Cry my beloved state.

I support the credo, let the best individual win, no matter the party. But if the SW wants to make ACN a regional party by not allowing good individuals win in the SW ecept ACN members, then they will get a similiar turn from other zones in due course who will start wisening up by seeing ACN as an invading SW force instead of a Nigerian party.

I Prefer True federalism  with 100% resource contronl with the centre getting royalties from the states.

Sagamite:
People in the SW were voting for Fashola aura more than ACN.[/b]Secondly, they were voting PDP out at all cost.

The [b]same people voted Jonathan rather than Ribadu of ACN.[/b]Do a bit of research.

Feel free!

I take it you did not read my questions or watch the clip?

He delivered his state on a minority platform after being in power for 2 years. He must be doing something right.

[b]I am sticking with only Governors as of 29th May 2011.

At first bolded you are entitled to your opinion.
At second bolded. I very much doubt that. There was voter apathy because of the failure of the alliance talks with CPC.
@ 3rd bolded. Pity would have liked your opinion on those guys.

Sagamite:
Top notch
Babatunde Fashola (Lagos)
Pros:
- Well educated and made SAN
- Reached a peak and achieved in private sector
- Has done marvelously well as a governor demonstrating previously unseen vision
- Speaks intelligently and eloquently when seen or read in media (I loved "it is not their age that is a problem, it is the age of their ideas"
- The people of all tribes in Lagos are raving about him

Cons:
- This is minor but maybe too gentlemanly. I have not seen the sign he can turn on the heat to extreme hot like Sanusi (CBN) who is willing to offend anybody to see Nigeria progress.

Good
Adams Oshiomhole (Edo)
Pros:
- Understands the needs of the common man
- The Edo people were clamouring for him and, so far, no indications they have been disappointed
- Was very pro-active as Labour union leader
- Seems to be in the ACN clique of progressives

Cons:
- Not highly educated

Sullivan Chime (Enugu)
Pros:
- Educated
- Built up his own practice in the private sector and is still able to make governor
- His people love him and think he is performing up to Fashola

Cons:
- His experience and business is in the East. I can't vouch for the standard and best practice skills he has built up.

Dr Mu’azu Aliyu (Niger)
Pros:
- Highly Educated
- Speaks intelligently and eloquently when seen or read in media
- Has done well as a governor demonstrating vision
- Not scared of being objective and vocal about issues almost like Sanusi (He has criticised Northern leadership that wretched its people)

Cons:
- Too close to IBB and has to please and have some level of reverence for IBB to maintain a powerbase. They are also cousins.
- No private sector experience. Public sector in the North can be regarded as utterly useless in most cases.

Dr Olusegun Mimiko (Ondo)
Pros:
- Well educated
- He must be performing very well for his people to vote so much for his small party where Labour won practically everything in Ondo State against the giant PDP and the progressive ACN
- Built up his own practice in the private sector and is still able to make governor

Cons:
- Don't here so much about him and his performance though
- Putting his political support with PDP most times than ACN

Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers)
Pros:
- Well educated
- His people love him and think he is performing up to Fashola

Cons:
- I didn't like his utterances when meddling with Super Eagles as part of Presidential supervisory team, "White man at all cost" mentality, he got his whiteman and we failed woefully as I analytically predicted
- Being a career politician in Nigeria in a failed region is just not pleasing to my ears as a quality background


Potential
Peter Obi (Anambra)
Pros:
- Educated
- Strong head and discipline by fighting PDP to overturn rigging
- Must be performing to a certain threshold if his people re-voted him in despite being part of a minority party
- Built up his own private businesses and is still able to make governor and Chairman of a bank

Cons:
- Report card by Ifeyinwa Akunna seems apt, shows their is potential

Kashim Shettima (Borno)
Pros:
- Well educated
- It is impressive to see a Northerner educated in one of the south's premier unis
- He also reached the frontiers of the peak in the private sector of a Southern bank, most Northerners achieving this feat are normally hardworking and proven

Cons:
- New to politics, so no negatives yet, hence potential based on background

Liyel Imoke (Cross River)
Pros:
- Well educated
- Seems to be maintaining the stuff of Donald Duke, educated enough to see potential he has
- Built up his own private businesses

Cons:
- I am not hearing of anything new from the state, even Obudu Ranch is underperforming

Dr Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti)
Pros:
- Highly Educated
- Did a PhD in one of the elite and most difficult courses to get on in the UK (despite being a Nigerian graduate) and is a visiting professor to one of US's best universities
- From his background, he would vastly understand governance, development and democracy and will be well backed by ACN

Cons:
- New to politics, so no negatives yet, hence potential based on background

Ibrahim Dankwambo (Gombe)
Pros:
- Well educated
- It is impressive to see a Northerner educated in one of the south's premier unis
- Got trained by PwC, rare for a Northerner back in the day and till this date

Cons:
- Rose to accountant general of Nigeria too fast and suspicion is that it is not based on merit but on national quota
- New to politics hence potential based on background

Abdulfattah Ahmed (Kwara)
Pros:
- Educated
- Achieved in private sector at one of the progressive banks
- Is a candidate of a governor that is reasonably liked and who has some level of vision, so might continue it

Cons:

Suspect
All career politicians and civil servants. How did they get the finances for governorship? I suspect they are all crooked.

More so, as one is not hearing about them performing well at the moment despite most being in second term.

Furthermore

- Sule Lamido of Jigawa is not educated

- Godswill Akpabio (1) harassed the opposition, (2) has not done anything about the pastors that label Akwa Ibom children witches and torture them, instead harasses those helping the kids
- most of the Suspects are from Poverty Development Party and the 2 that are not look like "quota system achievers"

Yari Abubakar (Zamfara)
Uneducated career politician in the North that is able to make governor. Need I say more?

Oshiomole is still being tested as he is  not yet long in office so I will rate him as potential for now.
How well educated is Ohakim really and which  privatecompany did he excel in, Ohakim and sons 419 PLC?
I will rate Amaechi in the topnotch circles as well as Akpabio and Chime
Why is Oji a cretin? the kidnaping issue was not his making and he was harmstrung in governance by OUK and his mother. The Okija shrine issue ? Freedom of worship.
Obi seems to be a failure in this his second term. IT appears he excelled in his first term.
Mimiko is how long on the job? His assessment shouild wait a bit
Some states are missing. I wish you could do some assessment of the  PDP ex-governors of some SW states who lost in court. Were they all cretins as we hear on NL. Your opinion please.

Sagamite:
Most elections in Nigeria are won primarily based on individuals.

There are really no political parties in Nigeria, what we have is what I term "political platforms".

I think that many people that won in the SW was because they were in the ACN since many are unknown qauntities. If Ngige were an unknown qauntity, he would not have beaten Dora a known qauntity. When unknown qauntities come out, ther electorate seem to fall back on other reasons to vote them mostly primordial.

Sagamite:
What rubbish are you chatting?

Whether state or national, APGA is a minority party. It does not have the resources (financial and machinery) to compare with PDP?

What part of "I must state most analysis is based on a mixture of (1) utterances by the governor that I have read, (2) general reports online and (3) the citizenry affection and respect the governors generate" don't you understand?

You struggle with English?

You want me to get one of my Nwanne or Nwannas to translate for you?

What shyt are you chatting?

Your common sense did not require you to check the fact PDP won 2 of the Senatorial seats, while ACN took the last one and APGA none, in the same state you claim APGA is the giant?

Most elections in the SE were won by individuals not parties. If the voting were based on parties, Ngige would have lost but his performance in his years as the governor, albeit falsely, is what he is riding on.

Ujujoan:
@ Sagamite
Could you please get your facts straight before you talk? who says apga is a minority party in Anambra? Do you know it was founded by Ikemba himself, the the Ojukwu who a number of Anambrarians adore and respect. At the last election he (ikemba) begged people to grant him one last dying wish by voting Obi in for a second term. Even at that, he would have lost of Iwu didn't rig him in . .

Obi won his first term when people were tired of PDP and he was a welcome change. that's why I call him a wasted solidarity because now he's eating and. dining with the same people who destroyed the state. Imagine giving Chuma Nzeribe an APGA ticket? Most of us are still reeling in shock at that. Do you know that APGA didn't win a single Senatorial seat this time around? That's like a blow to the incumbent. People are tired of Obi and if care is not taken, ApGA will die with Obi's tenure.

Granted he's a good business man, but governance is a whole different ball game.

APGA was formed by Chekwas Okorie not Ikemba.

Gbawe:
Did someone else write this;


Why do you see things in terms of the SW being "punished" for their electoral choice? Punishment is the authoritative imposition of something negative on a person for a behaviour deemed wrong .You would have to prove the SW has done something wrong , deserving of punishment, otherwise we are only left to conclude you are vengeful with the usage of a word (punishment) that does not appropriately match the action i.e choosing electoral representatives via voting .

So what was the wrong behaviour of the SS and SE that made them to be purnished terribly all this while by denying them federal presence or stifling federal infrastructure in those regions eg the Ports even though the bulk of the Nations wealth is derived from those regions?

@ Post.
I do not believe for once that GEJ will punish the SW because that will be a miscalculation. I rather want GEJ to create a level playing ground for all and make all zones develop eqaully. He should just do what is right and not try any vindictiveness like OBJ.
  However, I was really aghast at the way the SW vehemently worked against GEJ's election, the first S. Southerner to  reach that cape. It really reduced my respect for the SW and showed that they were not politically astute as I thought especially in trying to heal the wounds in the south. It made the SW look bad to the rest of the South especially the SS that had thought the SW was their friend more than the much maligned Igbos. It confirmed a lot of suspicions of folks in the SS as to the mindset of the SW to  the  SS as a Cash cow to be milked and dumped. This is a very serious injury to the SS psyche that the SW needs to work hard to heal. I really wish to know what was on Tinubu's mind in fighting against Jonathan and please do not tell me about  GEJ winning in the SW because we know that if the alliance  with CPC had sailed through, it would have been tough for him and its failure led to the voter apathy there but for many SE and SS folks living in the SW. Of Course I know that many Yorubas supported and voted for Jonathan but I expected much more especially from their leaders.

You think he'd allow himself to be arrested and tried?

using Shock and awe, yes. Do you think that Sadam also wanted to be tried? However Congrats to Obama that kept saying during his campaign that he would kill Osama.

Couldn't they have arrested ande tried him like Sadam.?

Good move. Obinna should send his under-Bishops to the homes of Arthur Nzeribe, Opia, and the palaces of the Traditional Rulers and Town Union Presidents in the affected Communities. Those are Ohakim's rigging points.

@ Pataki.

If there is a chess app. I will be interested too but not the method you mentioned.

Thanks Chyz.

@ post.
Desperado. He and his 419 gang are scared of what will happen to them when they are out of power. The Imo treasury cash cow will no longer be available. Imo lites should watch out because when he loses, he will do the greatest looting of the treasury in history in addition to those he had already done. He and his gang will also try and make the state ungovernable for Rochas.  They will resort to spates of kidnapping, armed robbery, assasinations, ritualism,etc,  to frustrate Rochas and make Imolites pay for throwing them out of power and also as a replacement for their former cash cow. Imolites must be vigilant to stop them even after Rochas is sworn in because these bands of evil men do not give up easily.

This divorce has to take place and it is time for the progressive west(Oodualand) to do away with this God forsaken union. Yorubaland is at a turning point in its history now. We have unity and peace and comeradism. We don't believe in violence so let's leave those who wants to fight and protect our citizens.

Leave the oil for the SS and[b] let the Igbos carry on with their vendetta against Nigeria[/b]. We don't have to be part of this mess o. This is not our fight o. Let's leave the barbarians and forge ahead. That is my own shile kan. Ese o. Oodua a gbe wa o, ase.

Can you please explain the bolded.

That this that that. All hearsay no evidence. Give us hard evidence of Northern muslims being killed by northern muslims and Igbo traders killed by northern christians. Stop all these pulling of wools over our eyes. A sovereign National conference is what we need not all these papering over the cracks.

thanks. i have already done so.

Source please. We are tired of hearsays.

bros1234:
Dont forget everyone online voting continues. That motherf, uck3r voted 10 times for Ohakim from one ip and tried to make us look silly. We know this may not count but let us make a point and who knows set a record. Go to this website and sincerely vote for your choice Imo candidate. Let all Ohakim supporters come and vote online. Tell any Imolite to just vote here. Remember only one vote is allowed from one person

www.imostate.betterlifeng.com

Thats where to vote

If the poll cannot stop one person from voting ten times then of what use is it. It means one person can also vote 10000 times. Make the poll foolproof for it to make any sense.

@godobi.

What figures? Do they tally with the ones posted above? And by the way please stop telling folks that they will do nothing if Ohakim wins. Imo is on a keg of gunpowder now and  I fear that otokoto riots will be child's place compared to what will happen if they feel robbed.

@ manuch. thanks a zillion. Please can you add any link?

Posted by: godobi (m)  
I sincerely see your point but I think the Ohakim will be humbled and would be doing all the right things IF he gets a second mandate. He might be proud, dubious etc but this will teach him a great lesson that people of Imo State are not pushovers as he thought. I also think that Ohakim's running mate Prof. Onwuliri will do her best to put him on the right footing. I am calling on everyone in those LGAs to please give Ohakim another chance.

I am sorry but your logic is flawed. One who has shown such wickedness in his first term will degenerate to barbarism if given a second chance as he has no other term to seek for. This is the time to move him out.

@ godobi. Please where did you get this 49 and 51percentiles? Can you provide a link? If not please let it rest.

@ Manuch

THese results do not eqaul the 12 and 11 LGs you mentioned. Do you have the complete results and the totals?

Good for Pat. GEJ and his security agencies need to keep their eyes peeled because those feeling that they are losing so much might develop the sampson or Hiroshima complex.

Folks need to visit Imo to really know what is on the ground. Talk to 20 imolites only one or 2 will be supporting Ohakim.

@ Andre. So you believe those ohakim figures.? Why then were those areas cancelled if INEc did not see them unrealistic? However if you have all the figures for all Imo LGs please post them. I have not seen the breakdown so do not know who is leading where.
