Soludo is a better governor than Obi. Am not surprised cos he was also a proactive cbn former governor. He save Nigeria from bank collapse. He is all round better. From education to governance and yet most igbos don't like him cos he don't support foolishness. God bless him.

The military that was controlling everything, even the constitution, would conspire with Nwosu whom they appointed, to truncate elections they can annul any time they like?

Do you guys use your brains at all?
Nwosu is simply a fearful man. He don't deserve immortalization. Am not surprised that most senators voted against it. You igbos can name your villages after him.

He wasn’t invited to a June 11 meeting where it was to be decided that the election won’t hold, but he came uninvited and made a case to the military to allow them hold the election, all while fearing for his life knowing the Abacha group didn’t want the election.

He challenged the court order that stopped the announcement of results and submitted all results to the court so that the media will pick it up and publish it to put pressure on the military. He did the best he could with limited powers as a civilian.

He nurtured the two-party political system that birthed democracy return in Nigeria.

History will be kind to Prof Humphrey Nwosu.
Why did he not defied the military to announce the winner. Issue of immortalization would not have been rejected if he had taken that singular act. Na una Igbo go see an as someone who did wonders but the rest of the country don't. So media now announced the winners of elections. You just cap nonsense.
PoliticsRe: Gov Soludo Transformation Of Ekwueme Square Awka(video & Photos) by kedeojo(m): 8:15am On Mar 31, 2025
Bestmanfornow:
The governor of Anambra state, Prof Charles Soludo, has awarded the contract for the comprehensive modernization of Ekwueme Square in Awka. Prior to this development, the square had two grandstands, with only one having installed seats. The governor has expanded the square, built a third grandstand, and modernized the existing ones. Furthermore, Gov Soludo's administration has undertaken a total overhaul of the square, including the construction of two modern gates, water fountain, garden. Currently, the installation of seats at the three grandstands is underway at the newly modernized Ekwueme Square in Awka, courtesy of Gov Soludo's administration.

Obi was just an average governor who has been over hype by his people. Look at t how Soludo has transformed that state. Awka now look like a state capital. Igbos anambra who insulted Obi as governor now want him to be president just because he is the only Igbo on ballot. Only Soludo and Umahi for now stand the chance of leading Nigeria as president or vice president. Obi will still fail again.

Northerners were killed in Uromi in Edo State.

Uromi is a relatively interior part of Edo State with little population of non-indigenes living there.

But Igbo haters opened handles and started spinning narratives and propaganda that Igbo dwellers in Uromi were the ones that killed northerners in Kano.

Now, some low-brained people are planning to attack Igbos in the north.

You see how dangerous these haters are?

You see to what extent they can go to harm us?

But I know all this is because they are scared of the oncoming marriage of north and East to oust Tinubu in 2027.

But news flash, no amount of propaganda will stop that.

You are planning marriage with Northerners but yet you insult them at any given time. You think they don't know. Open grazing were discussed and you people were at the forefront of rejection. Open grazing is obtainable in abroad too cos it is the best form of reading animals but because of hatred to Northerns, you people reject it. They will never support Obi to become president.

I am even suspecting that tagging every attack or kidnapping as being done by herdsmen is a misnomer. It is possible that locals carry out some of these activities and tag herdsmen.

If there was suspicion, the vigilante could have taken them to the police and leave it at that.

Don't always take the laws into your hands. If you have the energy to kill innocent persons, why don't you have the same energy to go into the forests and sniff out real kidnappers holding your people hostage?
The king from uromi was accused by his subjects for aiding kidnapping, why did they not at least destroy his palace but were quick to set ablaze accused kidnappers which now prove they were hunters. Recently the governor ordered the destruction of properties used my some of the locals for kidnapping. The government should arrest the perpetrators of the dastardly act. I support Obi's statement that they should also checkmate the Fulani herders who took dangerous weapons around. Just for all.

PoliticsRe: President Tinubu, Governor Okpebholo Direct Manhunt For Killers In Edo by kedeojo(m): 8:18pm On Mar 28, 2025
Asonaijaaso:
This statement from President Tinubu is nothing but a hollow and insincere display of outrage that rings entirely empty and detached from the reality on the ground. The murder of the innocent hunters in Uromi wasn’t a random act of violence – it was the direct result of lawlessness and failure at the highest levels of government. Yet, instead of addressing the systemic issues that allowed such brutality to unfold, the President offers nothing more than empty words and vague promises.

The President “directed the police” to investigate and “punish the culprits”, but it’s clear from his inaction so far that he’s not truly committed to making sure justice is served. If he was, there would already be swift accountability—yet mob justice continues to thrive under his watch. Talk is cheap, but results are what Nigerians need. If anything, this is yet another attempt to dodge responsibility, showing that President Tinubu is all about public relations, not real action.


The statement that “jungle justice has no place in Nigeria” is laughable when the state itself has allowed mob justice to become rampant, from security forces’ inaction to the empowerment of vigilante groups. How can anyone take this seriously when vigilantes continue to roam free, knowing they have the backing of a government that does nothing to stop them?

Commending the Edo State governor and local leaders? Again, this is deflecting blame. Why is Tinubu not addressing the core issue—his failure to maintain law and order? This is a crisis of governance, not of isolated communities.


President Tinubu’s statement is a blatant attempt to placate the masses without doing the hard work of actually ensuring safety. Words won’t bring back the lives lost, and they certainly won’t restore the rule of law. Until he takes real responsibility for the unfolding anarchy in the country, this is just another empty exercise in political rhetoric.
You are really stupid to blame Tinubu for the barbaric act carried out by those vigilantes. They should be fish out and be dealt with. How can you assume and you call yourself a vigilante group. Uromi over the years don't behave like other Edolite. They have learn nonsense from their delta north neighbors. You attack people with day guns and dogs. I pray government find proper solutions cos they should be ready for
the repercussions cos Northerners don't forgive easily, expecially if they are fulanis.

What happens in uromi is highly condemned. With that kind of guns and even with dogs, it shows they were intentional about the killings.The king of uromi was accused last year of aiding and abetting kidnapping but his subjects only protested and nothing much. There should be thorough investigation and the perpetuators should be brought to book. Most uromi people don't behave like typical Edolite. I don't know where they learn nonsense from.

Let me warn my Anambra brethrens.... There's a serious Islamic agenda going on in Nigeria now with speed. They have captured Rivers State using Wike and Asari Dokubo, now they have made Asari Dokubo the Islamic leader for South South and South East, Asari Dokubo understands the game because that was the primary reason they choose and bred him from childhood just as Pastor Bosun Emmanuel mentioned few years ago in his exposition of the plans by Muslims to Islamize the entire Nigeria, but Wike does not understand this plan because he was rather carried away by power drunk and political selfish interests.

Now they're weighing on the options between this man Nicholas Ukachukwu and Valentine Ozigbo who will be a better tool to perfect their agenda in Anambra being the heart of Igbo land, we must resist this plan with what ever it takes. Hope Uzodinma have layed some underground foundations for them but its not easy to raise their evil heads because of the invisible presence of IPOB. Nnamdi Kanu and Pastor Bosun Emmanuel screamed about this agenda but people thought it's impossible,... Yoruba people thought they could just wish it away by rebuking who ever made mention of it, but today they have already established sharia law in Oyo state and Governor Makinde is helpless, this is happening while a Yoruba man is the president.

Of course that's part of the deal that forcefully brought him as the president, and as all these are happening, the National Assembly have passed a bill proposing that individuals who lives anywhere in the country for up to ten years can becomes a citizen of where he lives, this bill already passed second reading in the National Assembly. IPOB were the only monster standing in their way to this agenda and that's why they fought IPOB with everything in their disposal including the adant incarceration of Nnamdi Kanu. Tinubu is on Islamic mission, People should wake up especially the Yorubas who think that their brother is the president and wouldn't do anything against them, Tinubu already sold Yoruba people out, go and mark it somewhere because it's no longer far before you see it.
Same attitude you people used during last general election that made Obi to score measerable votes in the northern moslems states, is what you people are starting again. Hope after losing in 2027 you people won't cry marginalization. Emeka use your brain. Everything shouldn't be nzogbu nzogbu
