.... Man wan move from 2023 Presidential Candidate to 2027 VP Candidate ...

LilNetty:
Please I need your candid advice.

My wedding is coming up in some months and I need your advice. My fiancé and her family are insisting on court wedding which I don’t want to object to. I should have moved on but she pregnant. What can I do?

Lionessza6:
LMFAO. If that's where all his bloodline comes from . Chidimma is from Igboland though....and we want none of that crap here ....Nigerians themselves don't want it

Lionessza6:
But one carries SA bloodline and the other doesn't. The other one's ancestors have history in SA and the other has no history here just a questionable identity

shivisee:
Her mum stole someone else’s identity! court found out and she was disqualify! Use your senses,blame her criminal mum!

EreluRoz:
I don't think Nigerians will allow citizens of other countries to be crowned miss Nigeria so they should end this talk already.

But after all the noise they crowned a whitie. Nelson Mandela must be proud of them

aestake:
Where their interest was money, how would react?

EreluRoz:
It doesn't make her a south African simply because she was born there. I take side with them on this

Zonefree:
There are about 3 police formation between Coca-Cola junction and Irete first bus stop and there's also Mobile Police base around there. Distance that is not up to 2km, yet they got attacked.

Age isn't on Biden's side. But it's too late to seek for a replacement.

An old man who is an architect told me that in the 80s. A bag of cement is used in making 20 blocks while today a bag of cement is used in making 60 blocks of cement. So what do you expect.

ChimaAdeoye:
Whether they call it "ORLU" or "ETITI", it is the exact LGAs that they are talking about.
.......
.......
We prefer viable states like Anioma, which are made up of homogenous people in a defined area, and with a historic request for statehood. Orlu politicians need to apologize for the scam they intended to carry out against Ihiala and Nnewi people. Shame on you!

ChimaAdeoye:

Yes, we ask for a 6th viable state in the Southeast for equity. [[[Orlu state is merely a land grab scheme by Orlu politicians to use other people to achieve their dubious intentions. Moreover, Orlu people are carving out land from other people without even consulting them,]]] [b] THIS IS WRONG. Orlu district existing before the creation of Anambara or Imo has always being agitating for a state under different names like Orlu state or Urasi state. It is not a new scheme or Orlu people agenda.

and without offering them the state capital or the name of the state to placate them.
THIS IS THE ONLY THING I'VE BEEN HAMMERING ON. NNEWI OR more especially IHIALA MAKES MORE SENSE AS THE CAPITAL. Changing from names like Urasi state back to Orlu state and the same Orlu as capital sounds counterproductive because all of them get big man and big ego even more than Orlu.
Nnewi or Ihiala should be the capital of Orlu or ETITI State if you want it to succeed.

You can't just take their land and offer them nothing in return! SAY WHAT YOU KNOW, nobody is taking anybody land. Orlu and Ihiala share a lot in common -dialect, business zeal and customs. An outsider would not differentiate them. Many churches there are in orlu diocese.

georgeakins:
Those states contribute nothing to GDP.
Abia cannot even pay the minimum wage of 18,000

I don't know why people from your region live in self deception

javascript1901:
they shouldn't have use similar name with Ekiti state. Yeah, I'm not okay with that more especially both Ekiti and Etiti are exactly the same word and meaning in Igbo language but that is their cup of tea with the national and state assembly. I would have suggested they adopt the a river that runs in the region or find an English name like central state, eastern state or whatever since we already have English state names like Plateau, Delta, Rivers and Cross River

And south east region is small for more state,This is false. At over 29,000m², the Southeast zone is larger than countries like Albania, Equatorial Guinea, Burundi, Haiti, Rwanda, Republic of North Macedonia, Djibouti, Belize, El Salvador, Israel, Slovenia, Fiji, Kuwait, Eswatini, Bahamas, Montenegro, Qatar, Jamaica, Gambia, Lebanon, Cyprus, Puerto Rico, Brunei, Trinidad and Tobago, Cabo Verde, Samoa, Luxembourg, Réunion, Mauritius, Comoros, Guadeloupe, Faeroe Islands, Martinique, Hong Kong, Sao Tome and Principe, Kiribati, Bahrain

except they are creating from the igbo region outside south east then add to the south east region. this is not a problem nor a factor. Other people like Ikwere, Anioma can agitate for their own states without needing to be added in Southeast. For example, Yoruba or Hausa exists beyond one zone and even exists outside the boundaries of the country

That means other region will also create. Not a problem, my own proposal for equity is 7 or 8 states for each of the six zones. There are currently many agitations for new states in each region.

When wigwe na their church cash cow na

blaise26abj:
Then we deserve the leaders without empathy we have in this country with your mindset . Apparently you have no idea what leadership is . Cowering and closing shop when a prominent member dies is the opposite of leadership

Sorry about your loss. Imagine the mom of the husband that died in the plane did a big party shortly after the plane crash . Or the board of the bank throws a party a couple of weeks after he died .How would you take it ? That's the thing, she is not any so leave her alone. Or is she responsible for the crash? Does her life revolve around Wigwe? The bank would have gone ahead with their Christmas, children's day, independence if it happened within that month.

You keep arguing for argument sake with zero point . No one has said a thing about church members activities . We are talking about church leadership ! She has her right as everyone else outside the church like every other member. In true Christianity there's no superior

See whatever rocks your boat .

blaise26abj:
@bold Lmao . So if the president’s wife strips at her secular time outside of presidency , it is not the concern of the country ? Or if the pastor’s wife’s business is escort services , it is not the concern of the church her husband pastors ? Truly whatever rocks your boat

blaise26abj:
It is fine if you think they are businesses . While I agree that some are , not all are . It is a shame what is happening but not all churches are like that.

However we should reason that if any member of the church dies( rich or poor)) , it is expected that the church leadership show empathy and restraints during such periods . The pastor’s wife is a reflection of the pastor . Anything she does falls back on her husband . Almost a whole family died ! I have lost loved ones and I couldn’t do much for two weeks. Nothing stops any member of the church to celebrate their birthdays . But with leadership comes a greater responsibility .

I understand your argument from a business perspective . But churches are not businesses according to the laws of this country .

blaise26abj:
Your argument holds no water unless you are implying churches are businesses . The bank is an emotionless entity on its own . People’s lives and means are tied to its daily operations . So it would be stupid and dangerous to close shop . Pretty sure they did a moment of silence across all branches and provided emotional support for staff affected by his passing .

The other bank directors might not have any direct relationship with the wigwes. They were only invited for a birthday party which they honoured .

But you see when you are a spiritual father and a prominent son with HIS family dies , you get rattled . Even Jesus wept after his friend died . You DON’T throw a party shortly after his demise . It is grossly inappropriate!

She could have made it a very private affair if resources were already allocated for it . Toned it down a lot .

True. we are just flesh and bones . But we are also governed by social norms and etiquettes .

MrIcredible:
Let's say you plan to get married next week and your father, mother and two siblings dies in a road accident, will you go ahead with the wedding?
Wigwe in this case was a very prominent person in that church, not just an ordinary member...
Make una dey think before una talk.

Recently, Owerri dragged a federal university teaching hospital for Imo state and got it located in Owerri.; the same Owerri where Imo state Specialist Hospital and Federal Medical Centre also exist.

Nchenches:
Why would any person or group wishing well the entire Imo state go to locate Imo state university in Owerri when Federal university of technology, the Polytechnic, Alvan Ikoku College of Education, Federal College of Lands and....etc, were then, and still, in Owerri zone

jmichael259:
Imo state university Uturu okigwe is not in Owerri.
Imo polytechnic (now university) umuagwo ohaji is not in Owerri.
Imo College of education Ihitte Uboma not in Owerri zone.
All the other proposed state institutions like colleges of education, teaching hospital etc etc are not to be sited in Owerri it's just poor rulership made them not to be functional.

The abrupt relocation of imo State university to Owerri, at the site that might have been girls secondary school, was because of dividing Okigwe into two just to give Abia a university to start with.
Poor rulership again played into this as none of the proposed IMSU permanent sites (njaba, mbaise, oguta etc) have come to fruition.
LET IT BE MADE CLEAR THAT ORLU ZONE HAS BEEN THE ONE RULING IMO; Udenwa 8yrs, Okorocha 8yrs, Uzodinma 8yrs. Arthur Nzeribe, Izunaso and many other notable Imo politicians are from ORLU zone.
Currently Orlu zone has two state universities, teaching hospital, international market and one state polytechnic. So how is it Owerri holding them

Nchenches:
Federal university of technology, the Polytechnic, Alvan Ikoku College of Education, Federal College of Lands and....etc, were then, and still, in Owerri zone, but no single tertiary education institution in Orlu zone? JUST AS BABANGIDA MADE ASABA CAPITAL OF DELTA BECAUSE OF HIS WIFE'S HOMETOWN, I DON'T KNOW WHY ALL FEDERAL INSTITUTIONS ARE LOCATED WITHIN 30KM OF EACH OTHER. IT'S NOT EVEN SPREAD FOR OWERRI ZONE AND THAT'S NOT STATE POLITICS SO STOP DIVERTING

Development could not come from a vacuum to Orlu, despite the number of years govs from Orlu zone steer Imo state. 24 WHOLE YEARS AND NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT? IMO state was just 21years old before Udenwa became governor
Conservative estimates: about 95% of income to Imo state circulates in Owerri zone alone as a result of denying government institutions to Orlu zone. ORLU ZONE AND THEIR POLITICIANS HAVE BEEN RUNNING IMO STATE SINCE AND EVEN BEFORE 1999
Recently, Owerri dragged a federal university teaching hospital for Imo state and got it located in Owerri. AN EXISTING FEDERAL MEDICAL CENTRE WAS CONVERTED TO FEDERAL TEACHING HOSPITAL FOR THEIR EXISTING FEDERAL UNIVERSITY. THIS IS NOT STATE PROPERTY NOR STATE MATTER
Owerri and Orlu zones continuing to share one Imo state is like perpetuating arrested development... I DON'T CARE ABOUT A NEW STATE, IT'S NOT IN MY ARGUMENT AND NOT MY POWER TO CREATE. LEARN TO ARGUE ON A POINT STOP JUMPING AROUND.
