Nancydearie: A stalwart of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Arthur Eze, on Thursday said the Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, should be held responsible for the flaws experienced in last Saturday governorship election in the state. Speaking with State House correspondence at the Presidential Villa,Abuja, he maintained that the governor championed the rigging of the election against the wish of the people in the state. Eze urged Nigerians to continue to pray as he warned that what happened in Anambra is likely to happen in other parts of the country. He said: “Obi committed a crime and rigged election against the poor people and brought his man, Obiano. For eight years, there were no longer local government elections in Anambra, now he brought Obiano, his treasurer to take over from him. Now, Obiano will spend eight years and bring somebody, then we are in trouble. “It’s for the poor, not for me, the needy, and the orphan. Not me, I am an old man, I am going. It’s because of the poor that I am crying.” On whether he supports the call for the election to be cancelled, he said: “Jega is very emotional; he is a very straightforward human being. He said this election was an act of sabotage. He was frank and God will advise him on what to do.” “Go and pray. What is going to happen in Anambra will happen in so many places. Pray for yourselves, not for us, we are gone, we are aged.” Expressing his fears towards 2015 general election, he said: “I don’t want criminals to take over in 2015. That is why I am crying.” SOURCE:THENATIONONLINENG.NET
youthsanambra: Martins Ezigwe THE N5.76 BILLION QUESTION
Whose money was used to buy the newspapers so as to deny Anambra people the facts about Governor Obi and church politics? The chicken has come to roost. Let us not cry now, we should have listened to the plight of Nkerehi people since 2007.
The evil that men in power and resources do will live with them and after them. Governor Peter Obi knows the atrocities committed in Nkerehi by Dr. Godwin Maduka under the governor’s watch, permission, and empowerment. The culprit was church politics. The Nkerehi people refused to accept that the name of their town would be changed from Nkerehi to the so called “Umuchukwu” because a Catholic monastery was sponsored to be located in the town by Dr. Godwin Maduka. Under the governor’s watch, Dr. Godwin Maduka and his followers, armed with pump-action guns and other dangerous weapons, destroyed all the historical and ancestral landmarks and monuments in the town, including traditional shrines and antiquities.
They shot and killed several people in the town among whom one is yet to be buried since 2009. They arrested innocent Nkerehi people and charged them for murder and tortured and maimed them in Nigerian terrible jails for nine months before they were vindicated but none of those backed by the governor who committed the murder was ever arrested as we speak.
They finally ran the Nkerehi people out of the town into exile for two year and looted their homes and harvested their crops and denied them access to their homes and sources of livelihood. Those that died in exile including Chief Pius Onwu who died due to fatal injuries he received from Kenneth Maduka were denied the right to be brought home for proper burial as required by our Igbo tradition. Some of the dead remained in mortuary for two years before they were buried. The governor never cared about the plight of the Nkerehi people and he is yet to make a single statement about the atrocities under his watch and sanction. When the Nkerehi women in exile demonstrated in Awka, the governor’s media handlers saw to it that no journalist in Awka wrote anything about the demonstration, therefore we should not cry foul now about the suppression of negative information about the governor. That has been his modus operandi.
youthsanambra: Hello my good people of Anambra state,we know it all that Mr Peter Obi is trying to do what he did 7 years ago,nobody voted for him he used the rev.fathers and the priests,to win the election he was not voted by the people of Anambra state,AND he used 1.5Billion to silence the Bishops and the Christians Churches,he is now getting set to do it again,now he want to use the stratagem he used 7 years back,he's trying to do it again this time around,he's given out all this billions to the Churches to deceive and buy the heart of Christians,he is trying to make us forget that he did not conduct counselors or Chairmanship election for past 7 good years,then where is our federal allocation going to all this while?
EkoIle1: Actually, I think Asiwaju was gassing these ibo folks. See as den sidon like mumu. I bet the only thing they were thinking about was isi ewu, apku and pami back in their villages, they care less about ojuku,
See as Lagos state put the whole event together in little or not time just to help these incompetent AGIPA clowns.
Even committee den set up to organize funeral for ojuku na wahala and incompetency, na so so cona cona, backstabbing and scheming to pocket money,
Anyway, I'm happy Fashola and Asiwaju showed you how to do things and how to show respect to your village heroes, take that back to your villages as lesson learned.
quest55: In conclusion the Ibos can only thrive in an environment where perpectual anarchy exist. Should Biafra return, guerilla war will eat it up! PYE, PYE OOO
Former Lagos State Governor Asiwaju Bola Tinubu yesterday said the late Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu was forced by circumstances to defend his people.
Tinubu, who spoke at a funeral for the former Biafran leader in Lagos, said besides the three founding fathers of Nigeria- Obafemi Awolowo, Nnamdi Azikiwe and Ahmadu Bello- no other Nigerian has altered the course of history than Ojukwu.
He said: “After the contributions of our great nationalists such as Nnamdi Azikwe, Chief Obafemi Awolowo and Sir Ahmadu Bello, no single Nigerian has altered the course of Nigeria’s history as the late Ikemba Ojukwu. He was forced by the circumstance of history to defend his people when he believed they faced physical and political annihilation. His reasons were clear to his people and his voice and strong determination reverberated across Nigeria. Ultimately, he altered the course of Nigerian political history in profound ways.” Tinubu said though the late Ojukwu meant different things to different people, there was no doubt that he cemented his place in history by dint of hard work and commitment.
He said: “Ojukwu was truly a product of the flawed attempt to be a good Nigerian without first being good Igbo man, Hausa woman or Yoruba child. It makes more pragmatic sense to build Nigerian patriotism on those common values and virtues that are not in any way against the values of Nigerian patriotism. If Ojukwu is viewed from that new prism, it would be clear that he was both a worthy Igboman as well as a worthy Nigerian.”
Quoting the words of Robert Green Ingersoll at this brother’s grave, Asiwaju Tinubu said of Ojukwu and his differing perceptions: “This brave and tender man in every storm of life was oak and rock, but in the sunshine he was vine and flower. He was a friend of all heroic souls.”
The former governor of Lagos said Ojukwu was a man of courage who made his voice heard no matter what.
He added: “Ojukwu carried on, no matter the situation. His voice was never drowned or silenced on the issues that mattered to him, even in the face of adversity.
“He was rather defined by Igbo nationalism, if not irredentism. But given the turn of events in Nigeria, with its continuous crisis of nationhood and identity, neither Igbo nationalism nor Igbo irredentism would appear illegitimate.
“His exploits both on the battle and political fields portray him as a restless soul, constantly engaged with the processes aimed at birthing an egalitarian society. He was a man with a most powerful narrative. An essential Nigerian story, with a career compelling in several respects. Ikemba Nnewi was a brave soldier and great thinker! “Here was a man born with a silver spoon into the luxury of a high pedestal; given the best education of his time and had the world at his feet, but chose the road less travelled. He immersed himself in the service of the people. A man of scholastic brilliance from Oxford, Ojukwu chose to serve in the Nigerian military. He will be remembered as a fine officer and a gentleman.
“ Here was a man who was in step with the passion for his people and love for country. Today we say goodbye to someone who rode several storms of life and was never consumed except by the cold hands of death. The words of Robert Green Ingersoll at his brother’s grave are here appropriate, “This brave and tender man in every storm of life was oak and rock, but in the sunshine he was vine and flower. He was the friend of all heroic souls. He climbed the heights and left all superstitions far below, while on his forehead fell the golden dawning of the grander day”. Ojukwu carried on, no matter the situation. His voice was never drowned or silenced on the issues that matter to him even in the face of adversity. A General’s delight, Ojukwu was courageous and smart enough to know when to compromise, when to negotiate and when to silence the guns and exit. For the sake of his people he entered politics. His foray into politics, which though often controversial, was in tune with the spirit of Nigeria’s multi-party democracy.
”Indeed, the life and times of Ojukwu, in a way, is a metaphor for Nigeria’s unfulfilled nationhood. No matter how Ojukwu tried, history would remember him as an iconic Ndigbo than it would as an iconic Nigerian – and it is doubtful if history would remember any member of his generation for iconic ‘Nigerianness’; or even any from this present generation.
”We all have shortcomings and Ojukwu was no different. Despite Ojukwu’s personal short-comings which by the way cannot be glossed over, he was indeed a great man. His life and travails revealed a nation constantly at war with its constituent parts. Ojukwu is truly a product of the flawed attempt to be a good Nigerian without first being good Igboman, Hausa woman or Yoruba child.”
