One has to be mentally disturbed to project a BAT victory when it is clear the man has zero appeal to the average non Yoruba voter. I don't understand you pseudo-'enlightened' creeps.

Who would vote for someone like this really? At least Buhari had his unassailable 'integrity' selling point that guaranteed him votes from the entire North to the South West. What does BAT have that would give him votes outside the South West? Is it his drug dealing reputation, extreme corruption, dubious personality and background, obvious signs of age and drug induced dementia and mental degradation, or what exactly? Or you're merely expecting his 'structures' to buy votes, coerce votes or manipulate votes? If this is the expectation, shouldn't you lot be ashamed of yourselves and hide your faces in shame rather than insult our sensibilities with stupid forecasts?

How do you win an election when you are not popular on the strength of your own personality with the average voter across geopolitical divides?

Even the best of you in spite of your intellectual pretentions haven't been able to explain how it would be possible for a discredited and obnoxious entity like BAT to inspire the votes of the average non Yoruba Nigerian. Instead you're relying on magic from compromised governors. Just makes no sense. That's why I'm disappointed that old folks like Naptu or Jarus can't hide their jaundiced faces rather than come out in the open to display weakly disguised Yoruba awalokan motivated nonsense.

Shame on you all.

Hehehehehe

A Daniel come to judgment! See finishing!

Hope you all can now begin to understand there’s a nexus between rabid and bigoted Igbo haters and the heightened spate of insecurity in the south-east! All these murderous and wicked antics because of the ‘insignificant 5 percenters’ whose choice for president has ‘no structure’ and only exists on social-media!

dustmalik:
Elections will be very interesting in Afghaneastern😂😂😂

Care to tell us why you’re happy with this report?

Hehehehehe

The one of Pa George was expected….just a matter of when not if! Hell would first freeze over before he would even entertain the thought of endorsing Tinubu!

In a true federation, any state wishing to operate international flights from its airport should be allowed to do so, insofar as the airport can attract the necessary international airlines and traffic! This is why aviation should be in the concurrent list!

Emilokan!!!

…..by fire by force!

New and exciting gaming arcade at the Ebonyi mall.

One investment i’d love to make at the mall is to have a Marvel/DC Comics centre: the go to place for anything to do with superheroes! It’ll have giant lifelike statues of all your favourite Superheroes: Superman; Incredible Hulk; Spiderman; Batman (and i don’t mean Tinubu); Thor (the Nordic god of thunder); etc…as well as have statues of their nemesis’, just to balance things up between the forces of good and evil!

Though, the centre will mainly specialise in selling Marvel/DC comics and books as well as related merchandise and games/DVDs!

Next door to this will be a Disney centre: your go-to destination for all things Disney! The idea for this is still at its formative stage, but be rest assured it’ll be magical!

It’s hard to believe Lionel Richie and Charlie Boy senior this man well-well!😕

Nice one US! Let them sit their conniving asses in the Nigeria they helped create with their senseless judgments that defy logic!

US embassy officials must have been perplexed as they read that judgment….probably looking at each other in confusion and scratching their heads as they tried making sense of the travesty of justice!

Sibbb:
We need to beg or beat Tinubu supporters so their stupidity will not affect us for 8 years. Imagine adding another 8 years to his age, Omo we don enter

Hehehehehe

You don’t know the remorseless, conscienceless, tribalistic, bigoted and greedy nature of the people you’re dealing with! They don’t care their wickedness has plunged Nigeria into socio-economic despair these past 8 years, and are ready to put their greed first yet again to see their god ‘wins’ in a few days time!

IfnobeGod20:
Wike you lied here. You said Tinubu had never changed party, that was a big fat lie. Tinubu started from AD till 2006 and he left the party to go and form AC.
The question is what made him run from AD as the only AD governor as at that time and go and form a party. Why didn't he grow the party to national prominence? He ran away because he could not control the party.
On his agitation that the next president must come from the south was a selfish ambition because he knew if the primary is open and the north support their own he would not win and that was why he fought tooth and nail. It was the same strategy you deployed but it failed you and that is why you're still bitter till date.

Well explained analysis of the chicanery and two-faced nature of both Tinubu and Wike! They both have a napoleonic complex….believing it’s either them or no one else, and both are ready to cut a deal with lucifer himself if that will guarantee them power!

fortunateme:
Sour losers go and rest. Obi will so out perform this your relic candidate despite your 200k PAs.
Is there a curse on rivers governors? From odili to ameachi and now wike have wasted their investment in federal politics.

Part of the problem with present and past Rivers state governors is that they’re too naive and think that, because they’ve distanced themselves from Ndigbo and the south-east, that they have found favour in the eyes of the Fulani and their Yoruba partners who they reckon own and run Nigeria! Basically, their problem is stockhom-syndrome and wanting to please their masters in the hope they would be allowed to take the slot of the south or east for presidency! And this is a problem you generally find with the ‘we south-south’ people and their Igbo efulefu ilk!

GOTVee:
Even though I'm a born again Christian, I pray Peter Obi never becomes president. The reasons why igbos are promoting Obi presidency is for him to win and release Nnamdi Kanu. It will never happen in Jesus name

Upon all Nigeria is faced with at the moment, this ones problem is how to keep Mazi Kanu illegally detained! And the embittered twerp actually has the gall to claim he’s ‘born again Christian’!

easytig:
Tinubu at almost 80 years should not be thinking of presidency at all,he is not sound enough to carry the duties of dat office.he should go and relax and enjoy his Lagos treasury loot.i pray he fail woefully innext week polls.naijabis not Lagos, greedy old fool still want to loot more for his unborn generation, people supporting tinubu based on tribal sentiment are very stupid, because the old fool is thinking of only himself.

Hehehehehe

Deep!

Pauldollars:
He's just repeating many of the things Peter Obi has been saying since.
I guess his team copies and edits some speeches from other Presidential candidates for him to say

I noticed that too! Can’t seem to come up with anything original!

Fine bobo! Mr Stainless!!

OreMI22:


I think the concept of concrete alone as "beauty" still fascinates our people. How can one pour so much concrete all over the place to fill up every available space, without making the edifice look like a beautiful home with lots of flowers and trees?

I know I'm sounding like Igboson 1 now
He loves a well-landscaped environment with beautiful flowers to give it a great ambiance and beauty.

Bros Oremi, you couldn’t be more correct on the bolded! Was starting to think i was a lone ‘pesky’ voice crying out in the wilderness!

Took a stroll down Chigwell Rd the other day….a highbrow area with impressive mansions no different to what we build in our villas and GRAs back home! But i tell you, the wooded environment, swept roads and well tended lawns (in private properties as well as along the public road) made all the difference!

Welcome to the greenery club!🙂

IPOB stupidity shouldn't be tolerated in Igboland this year.

The only stupidity i see here is coming from you! You talking of the same IPOB that have long since called off the sit-at-home and reiterated their position countless number of times!? I bet you’re angry one of the cretinous bastards you lot deceived to help in creating a climate of fear in the south-east in order to discredit IPOB and negatively affect voter turnout has met his Waterloo and just desserts!

I have no pity for the fool!

NwekereNdoki:
That's the bitter truth my friend. No development when there is no peace

We know that security in Nigeria is overstretched yet we still join people to support things that causes insecurity. What Orlu is facing now is the reperccursion. It's nobody;s fault but Orlu people's fault and Igbos fault in general. Nigerian army will try to stop it, but Orlu people must come back to their senses, Ebubegu, NPF and NA is not your enemy.

That's the bitter truth

Go sit your impostor ass down in the corner and STFU! You’re yarning complete shit! Why was Orlu in particular and Imo in general peaceful and a prime investment/tourist destination until the coming of Uzodinma!?

You’re always crawling all over Igbo-themed threads….looking for ways to get Ndigbo to hate Mazi Kanu and IPOB and ‘justify’ the terrorist tag your wicked boss Buhari unjustly pinned on them! This is one propaganda battle you ain’t gonna win!

thesicilian:
What a campaign strategy! Nigeria is truly finished.

Can you imagine!? And the guy is actually serious oh!

Nwaetche:
This northerners are heavily milking Alhaji Tinubu! There is God ooh!!

The new 419 code in town is to claim to be LP executive and contact any APC PCC member, then mugu go drop.

Hehehehehe

Alcatraz001:
Foolish Christians should keep supporting APC. Shebi dem say dem wan suffer and die ni? Just vote APC as a Christian.

Dem no dey tell person.

Spot on!

Christians voting for Tinubu/Shetima is akin to Turkeys voting for Christmas!

ebufa:
What then do you have to say for the lackadaisical if not indifferent attitude of Igbo politicians and elite to Obi's presidential campaign............our problems in this federation is 90% self inflicted............we are simply not a pro active people! we maybe be bold and courageous but No plan is planning to fail.............This is is the reason why the much maligned Biafra agitation resonates with so many.................see the 2 indolent female senators we have in Anambra.......................they are now full hajias 100% sharia compliant.......even to tie our Igbo wrapper has become an uphill struggle for them...............I am fed up of complaining about our politicians,they need to be taught that interests of the igbo nation trumps any other interests they may habour!

I just returned from a 10 day trip to Kinshas in Democratic Republic du Congo, Brethren! It is all about leadership o! If Nigeria does not hurry up and get its act together,we will be left behind completely, everything we dream of achieving in Anambra is what the new congolese government is working hard to do..............The congo dream is still a work in progress but bookmark that country..........The True giant of Africa is begining to wake up.................I was blown away by the new central Market in Kinshasa and the new General hospital as well....................we must always improve upon what is on ground...otherwise we are just sliding backwards!

Sometimes that independent spirit we have can be a hindrance to achieving goals as a collective! Though i see where you’re coming from on the issue of our self-centred Igbo politicians, but you should know by now they’re on their own and majority of Igbo elite and masses are rooting for Peter Obi! In the past, i’ve always complained about our politicians and how they don’t seem to be fighting our corner the way you see politicians of the other two major ethnicities do for theirs!

The bolded is funny but true! You hardly hear the word Ichafu anymore, a word that’s now being replaced with gele and only used by our mothers and aunts!

I’ve seen recent clips of Kinshasa and was really impressed! However, Congo is largely a one city country so they can afford to concentrate most of their developmental efforts on their capital city! In Nigeria, we have many cities that could give Kinshasa a run for its money with the right kind of political arrangement and voting in the right type of leaders. Cities like Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Owerri, Aba, Enugu, Onitsha, Awka, Uyo, Calabar, Kano and Kaduna could come close to Kinshasa and even surpass it in some cases…..only with the right attitude to governance and nationhood!

Racoon:
This is terrible. No part of the land should be disenfranchised. Goodluck Jonathan make sure election held in every parts of Nigeria including the NE in 2015.

This was the plan all along: cause strife and insecurity in a once peaceful and safe region and blame it on IPOB in the hopes that this will negatively affect pvc collection and voter turnout in the south-east on election day

Underestimate these peoples capacity for evil at your own peril! All these shenanigans and wickedness for a political party they claim has no structure and only exists in cyberspace! See how their minions on here are getting excited that Imo is the most affected, and based on this are hoping their disaster of a godfather wins the upcoming presidential elections….since they’ve handicapped the ‘hated’ south-east and reduced their voting strength! If this isn’t wickedness and evil of the highest order then i don’t know what is!

Cjrane2:
Hopefully, Umahi is already planning on how to keep the airport busy by also attracting tourists and business people to Abakaliki.

Owerri flights are always full and overbooked because Nigerians fly to Owerri to have f fun-filled weekend with good food and clubbing.

If Umahi can incentivize Cubana Chief Priest to establish a small to moderate-sized Cubana night club in the Abakaliki Centenary city, it will gradually rival Owerri in the number of tourists and other Nigerians visiting the city to relax, eat good food and spend money.

Spot on bros Cj!

The upcoming Olympic stadium is another socio-economic catalyst that would have multiplier effects on the states’ economy! The airport, mall, international market and Olympic stadium will all feed off of each other! And the state has much scope to expand its eco-tourism sector which the airport will help achieve! All they need now is at least one kickass 5-Star Hotel that will compliment the other projects nicely and show they’re not just a flash-in-the-pan!

Even though i don’t like his political choices of recent, if i had my way Umahi would go for a 3rd term to help consolidate his vision for the state! I doubt the stadium would be finished by May this year, and i don’t want them rushing things and doing a shoddy job….ditto the airport as well!

You have to have just arrived from Mars not to know its thugs with links to APC that were responsible for the attack on Labour Party members in Lagos last week! Who are they kidding!

OreMI22:
The idea espoused in this post is the reason I hailed Obiano for striving to build a modern airport with a longer runway and modern facilities than what we already had in Owerri or Enugu.

It is also the same reason I am currently hailing Dave Umahi for upping the standard in his new airport facility, modern Abakaliki mall design, modern university structures at the King David University of Medicine, and using flyovers instead of a roundabout to solve serious traffic gridlock points in his state.

We should force our leaders and people to IMPROVE on what is already obtainable than sticking to the mindset of "awalawa" and creating substandard quality of what we had already achieved several decades ago. That is the only way to grow from strength to strength as a people.

My sentiments down to a T!

In the past one or two years in the south-east, we’ve seen new big-ticket projects (capable of serving as economic drivers/multipliers and a catalyst to uplift other sectors of the economy and society) being launched only in Anambra, Ebonyi and Abia to a lesser extent (GEOMETRIC power plant)!

Meanwhile, other states or regions are using the political/economic advantages they’ve acquired for themselves over the past decades of operating a unitary national gov’t to attract multi-billion dollar industries and initiatives to their own states/regions, while some of their states (like Lagos, Rivers, Kano and Kaduna) can, to a large extent, run on their own steam courtesy of these political/economic advantages garnered over the past decades!

Some may not realise it, but the subtext to your submission points to the need for every region to have the capacity to have their own ‘Lagos’….their own centre for cultural, social and economic interaction with the global community, so each region can sell themselves to the outside world to the best of their ability and develop at their own pace using their own human and natural resources which wouldn’t be appropriated by others or lost in the ‘unified’ confusion that is ‘one Nigeria’! Basically, i’m talking of the need for a TRUE Nigerian federation….not one only in name, while reality on the ground is the opposite!

The damage for our entertainers to first have to go to Lagos in order to make it globally cannot be quantified! We may not like to hear this, but some have appropriated Lagos for themselves and see our presence there as an ‘irritant’! They can easily use their control of the machinery of state governance to frustrate us in many ways, and this has actually been happening….mostly codedly!

Part of the problem is also self-inflicted, as we’re a bit docile in promoting and hyping our own! In the late 50s and 60s, some of the best Nigerian entertainers came from the East…mainly of Igbo and Ijaw extraction! This was a period when there was true federalism and each region didn’t have to first go to Lagos in order to be a success. Though Lagos, even then, was still the cultural and entertainment capital of Nigeria, this prominent position was achieved organically as then ALL Nigerians saw Lagos as theirs without one group or ethnicity claiming it and its governance!

The dangers and unfairness in operating a unitary system of national governance in such a pluralistic and diverse country as Nigeria can also be seen in how the Anambra airport has seen NO federal push to see it grow beyond what the state gov’t has done! There’s zero effort from Abuja in seeing it can handle one or two international destinations, even though it’s one of the most functional and best equipped airports in the country! Can you imagine Hadi Sirika hasn’t visited the airport even for once!

Also, we see the negative impact of operating a unitary system of national governance in how they’ve been playing mind-games with that Onitsha river port…almost mirroring the way they used 2nd Niger bridge for political football! Leaving aside the fact that it’s possible to upgrade Onitsha river port to a sea port (yes, a bit difficult and capital intensive, but still possible), the little river port operations that are possible and easily achievable are yet to commence! All we’ve seen thus far are teasing and empty platitudes and promises of commencement of operations! Remember we’re not just talking of any other town or city here! We’re talking of Onitsha…..a city that held so much promise in the 50s and 60s, and was once one of the centres of gravitational pull for commerce in West and Central Africa!
