"The most beautiful thing about what has happened is that Bola Tinubu’s political influence in Nigeria is coming to a sunset and it is about five minutes to midnight for him."

I no fit laugh eehh. . .this is definitely personal!

[b]Nigerians can't be this daft! Of course Buhari was in on the whole maneuvering that culminated in victory for Saraki and Dogara. Actually, he played a very crucial role by convening an APC reconciliation meeting at the same time the national assembly inaugurations were scheduled. . .a meeting he tactfully failed to attend, but he did not fail to sign and forward the proclamation required for the inauguration of the new assembly.

The seamlessly executed Machiavellian maneuver saw the Tinubu loyalists shepherded to a phantom meeting while Saraki and his crew with their PDP collaborators did what they had to do with minimum opposition. In response, the APC leadership challenged the legality of the proceedings, but, alas, Buhari did not hesitate to embrace the results.

I've always maintained that the Fulani would rally around Buhari to ensure that Tinubu's influence within the APC is downsized to a convenient proportion. Hate them or love them, the Fulani in Nigeria have continued to demonstrate a remarkable political acumen. They've long consolidated power in the north at the expense of the larger Hausas and other groups, and are able to make inroads into the south as needed. Meanwhile, the Igbo and Yoruba have mutually sworn that they'll rather sh.it bricks forever than work together to provide a formidable southern opposition to Fulani hegemony. What more could a Mallam possibly ask for?

At some point, you've just got to make the commitment and be prepared to work to make the marriage successful. However, some red flags can't be ignored, and the mission must be aborted.

RIP sister.

the rate at which ibos do things no other tribe will vote for them, can you imagen the sensitive position they ocupied in gej rigem.

What concerns Igbo with this matter? GEJ did nothing special for Igbo but he wasn't hostile to them either.

Buhari would have to be brainless(which he may or may not be) to let Dambazzau foist an ADC on him. It's more likely that he leaned on Dambazau's familiarity with the present crop of officers and embraced his suggestions as he made his decision. I don't really understand all the fuss accompanying this appointment. While a highly visible position, the ADC is not necessarily a powerful position. Sure, he can take advantage of his proximity to solicit personal favors from the president, but he's not going to influence military policy more than the service chiefs or the chief of defense staff.
Al Mustapha, as Abacha's CSO wielded more power than the ADC at the time could ever dream of having. I'll even suggest that the Chief Security Officer(CSO) is more essential to the president, in ensuring his safety. If it ever gets to the point where the ADC has to personally defend the president, his security has long been compromised.
Besides, I hear the new ADC was a mighty fine boy-soldier in the military school, and by all indications is an outstanding officer. I expect him to maintain the standard.

Choi! Mr. Go and Die like better thing. This is the best project he's executed as a governor....give it to him, the player really purchased a nice piece of a.s.s with Edo state funds. With a lifetime supply of viagra and a strong back, he might be able to keep up with her for a while, until she finds a young buck on the side.

The only intent here is to show who is in control by fully displaying that masonic handshake in the second picture.

God pass all of una.

YORUBAS ARE JUST SO ACCOMMODATING.
THIS KIND OF THINGS CAN NEVER HAPPEN IN ABIA, IMO, ANAMBRA AND ENUGU.

Some of you make a mockery of your so-called hospitality when you buttress such claims with hateful statements. Have you ever heard of Yorubas being harassed in Igbo land, or you don't think your people venture this way? The Olukumi never had to fight any wars to be accommodated by the Igbo, and became proper indigenes while freely retaining their language, without any threat of expulsion from the Igbo.

I'm from the Ngwa extraction but a governor who threatens death by laying coffins around the crannies of aba and saluted with gun shots renting into the air... I honestly dont know what to expect from him.I hope he performs.

So you saw Okezie laying coffins around Aba, and you didn't take pictures. What about when he was shooting in the air, any pictures of this dangerous Okezie man?

I'm truly happy, and I believe the better man won. Hopefully, we can all put some of the strife that emerged from this election behind us and unite to make Abia the great state it should be. Congratulations my people.

No surprises, Okezie clearly won the initial election and would still win if the election is repeated a thousand times. Abians finally dodged a bullet. Congratulations my people, it's time to move this state forward!

Methinks these counter-terrorism cops have been put through a version of SERE(Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape) training. It is done without the consent of the trainees, leading them to believe that they are in grave danger, just to see how the react under such circumstances. Detaining a unit on trumped up charges, and denying them basic human necessities or even applying torture is commonplace in SERE training received by US Special Ops Forces. It is to evaluate and condition the soldier to react appropriately in the event that he finds himself in enemy hands.
Our counter-terrorism cops just failed their SERE course. . . . . .make una no quote me sha, no be today soldier begin beat police for naija.

If this was just an audio recording I would have sworn that this was a church choir from somewhere in Ala Igbo. Nice one by the Swedes!

I enjoy these kind of threads. Let me add one chairman I just discovered.

Dr Philip C. Njemanze

Credits: He has ground-breaking works in Cognitive Neuroscience and is credited with postulation of the Light Theory of Cerebral Asymmetry for Brain Function in Men and Women, which postulates that men have a right brain function dependent on the wave properties of Light, but women a left brain function dependent on the particulate energy property of Light. This is the theory of Everything in localization of brain function for intelligence, facial processing and color processing (2004, 2005, 2007). He also has several internationally accredited theories on Brain Blood Flow in Neurocardiological conditions.

Bros na anti-vampire tingz?

Tinubu for EFCC chairman.

kurupt1:
shattap there.how much where u paid by orji??u come online and talk trash.abians are suffering and ur talking about ngwa`s people time to be governor,when the issue at stake is good governance.ikpeazu was absepa chairman which is in charge of environment _look at how dirty aba is looking,and you come here talking gibberish.

If you have any functional brain cells, you would comprehend that I am no supporter of TA Orji. I clearly declared that he is a colossal failure. The only time Aba experienced a little relief was when Ikpeazu came on as ASEPA chairman, and he complained bitterly that the funds were not forthcoming to execute the job as needed.
At least Ikpeazu lives in Aba and has suffered through that mess. Is it Otti that has never bothered to step a foot in that dump that would come and rescue you? Please tell me another story, or shut your trap.

slap1:
I beg to differ at the bolded. We've heard it before. The Chinese have a saying, "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me".

From what you have written so far, I can safely deduce that you are more interested in the so-called disenfranchisment of Ngwa people than the collective will of the electorates. There is no guarantee that Ikpeazu won't be a stooge, no, there isn't. If you have lived in Aba for these past few years, you would easily feel the pulse of the people and understand their agitations. T. A is a complete failure and the fact he clearly handpicked Okezie is a huge, conspicuous dent on his ( Okezie's) candidature.

As it is, Orji is the object of public opprobrium in Aba; no one speaks good of him. Speaking for myself (and a good number of Abians, I believe), I don't hate Dr. Okezie (I genuinely admire his academic background), but Ochendo's state-wide hatred has rubbed off on him, negatively. A vote for Okezie is seen as a vote for T. A Orji and you honestly can't blame the people for that.

Abians have languished in the gutters of political godfatherism and its concomitant backwardness that any other option, no matter how uncertain, is seen as messianic.

Fool you once? When has a governor in Abia state ever been a stooge for his predecessor? Even Orji Kalu after all he did with and for TA Orji couldn't achieve the feat. Perhaps, folks who do not know how Ikpeazu emerged as the PDP flag-bearer might have their reservations. . .the Ngwa political structure probed their candidates, selected Ikpeazu and sought TA's support for his candidacy. TA had someone else in mind, but had to make the compromise as he needed their support to sail through to the senate(half of his constituency is Ngwa). Among those seeking TA's support at this point was non other than Alex Otti, but he was fraudulently masquerading as an Ngwa and wouldn't do. Was he in line to be TA's stooge?

If your grouse is with the political party, be rest assured that Nigerian politicians do not perform based on their party affiliations. TA came into power through PPA, moved to APGA and then to PDP. . .at every point he was a non-performer. Alex Otti only decamped to APGA when he lost the PDP nomination, and I'm certain he did not shed his skin with the transition. He's the same character he was in PDP.

The Ngwa are part of the electorate, there is no collective will of the electorate without them. Their aspirations and desires are no less important than that of anyone else in the state. As stated earlier, we will not tolerate the hateful attempts to disenfranchise the Ngwa by all sorts of underhanded schemes, including voiding of votes in Ngwa territories. The decision to cede the governorship to the Ngwa was not reached on a whim, but was made a long time ago in the interest of equity and fair play. After the tenures of Ogbannaya Onu and Orji Kalu, both from Abia North at the time, most expected the governorship to swing south, but TA was foisted on us with the reasoning that he is from the central senatorial zone. The Ngwa patiently waited another 8 years through his terrible leadership. Any attempt to deny the Ngwa this time around would be met with a violent rejection.

The Ngwa would not be saddled with the failures of TA Orji, no matter what party he belongs to.

I've ignored you internet politicians for too long. That miscreant called Alex Otti, who bears an uncanny resemblance to TA Orji, is no doubt a first class rogue. His antecedents indicate that he'll be another Orji, if not worse.

Yes, he's a PDP man that fled to APGA only when he was denied the PDP nomination. Orji refused his 3 billion naira bribe, which I'm certain came from the stolen Liberian money he was holding for Charles Taylor. Otti ain't no saint, he's a criminal!!

For equity, the governorship was zoned to Abia South/Ngwa axis of the state. For over 20 years, since the inception of the state, the largest bloc in the state has patiently waited its turn to govern the state. Candidates were vetted, leading to the emergence of Okezie Ikpeazu as the PDP nominee. Meanwhile, Otti, who hails from Abia North(Arochukwu), emerges from his porch to claim that he's from Isialangwa. If this isn't a desperate criminal of TA proportions, I don't know who is.

All Otti ever did in APGA was bribe the national officials to impose him as the nominee against the wishes of those that have worked so hard to sustain the party in the state. Factions of the party still refuse to recognize him. Who can blame them? The man wasn't even a registered member of APGA when he was announced as the nominee, and this was two days after a different nominee had been announced. Criminal tendencies of Otti emerge again!!


These shady attempts to disenfranchise the Ngwa, first by deploying that criminal Otti, and now attempting to cancel election results in Ngwa territories would never work. Did Otti ever think he could garner more votes than Okezie in Isialangwa North, Obingwa and Ugwunagbo? If so, he must be back on hard drugs!!

Lastly, I'm not in the least interested in carrying water for TA Orji. . .he was a colossal failure. Okezie Ikpeazu is not his stooge, and would never be. Once Ikpeazu becomes governor, he would be successful or not based on his own doings, and not because of TA. That's the way things work around here, and you can take that to the bank.
