■ I didn't go to school, I'm a primary school dropout, were you not same guy trying to convince me the other day that it was u lgb0s that voted Hope for second term?

Let Google be your friend then. 🤔

The man was imposed on them during his first term by the Supreme Court; Kekere-Ekun was one of the judges who usurped the people's mandate at that time. As a result, it seems the people didn't bother showing up en masse to vote against him a second time around. Seems they were convinced he would manipulate his way back into the seat again in some way; Osita Chidoka's report shows this happened, even though it also revealed that had the people showed up to vote, they might have had a chance to change the final outcome. 🤔

ChybuzzDD:
■ What nonsense are you saying? Who does not know that Buhari and the judiciary influenced by him installed that bastard in Imo state Was he ever the choice of the imo people?

Kekere-Ekun, one of the three Supreme Court Judges responsible for that has now been installed as the CJN.

ShinnBet:
■At no time in the history of the SE has education ever been subsidised by your governors/leaders.
Even the north offers free education and bursary payments to tertiary students . But that has never ever happened in your SE.
■ Whose fault is that?
■ Relying on miracle centres has been the only policy intiated by the likes of Obi.

1. That is because your SE Governors are thieves bilking you of even that basic need.

2. Again, your local Governors and politicians. And Rochas is no different since in pretending to offer you what he termed free Education, he in fact, used you all to launder for himself more money in the process.

3. The man is not at least responsible for the free education fraud implemented by Rochas which has been confirmed by people from the same state.

Sonyboom765:
Just imagine what this foolish soul is arguing. When Okorocha made the statement below why didn't your foolish messiah Peter Peter Obi come out to debunk it ?

But did you bother confirming the implementation of the so-called policy? 🤔

Although he promised to run it from primary to University level; at the initial stage, it was apparent that the government had not made up its mind on the coloration of the policy. The lack of policy design and direction inherent in the plan was instantly recognizable.

The government was at that stage unsure whether it wanted full-blown free education that involved all Imo indigenes in all tertiary institutions in the country or only those schooling in the higher institutions in the state. The government was also at a loss whether free education meant taking full responsibility for tuition fees of students in higher institutions and other educational tools or simply providing part payment of the tuition fees.

The above realization thus brought to fore the ad hoc and indeterminate nature of the free education policy and several other policies of Governor Okorocha’s Administration namely, lacking in legal and legislative frameworks. This development accordingly has spawned deceit, fraud faulty implementation of the exercise, and unprecedented deterioration of the standard of education in the state. These observations have been captured in graphic details in the later part of this article.
However, when Okorocha was ready to commence the implementation of the so-called free education he started by jerking up the school fees paid by students in Imo State University from N55,000 to N120,000, representing a whopping 110 percent increase. Not a few Imolites hence wrote him off on this deceitful start. He followed the trickery up by issuing a cheque of N100,000 to the students in the name of free education and compelling them to pay a complementary sum of N20, 000 including the cheque into a designated account that does not belong to the University. This turned out to be fraud number one.
The over-deceptions here are manifold. Why the large-scale increase in school fees at a point when the purported free education was to commence? Why issue students cheques when the exercise can be conducted on a blank sheet? Why ask students to make a partial payment when the exercise is named free education? Who owns the account the cheque and the part payment are deposited into? Okorocha’s government has since clarified that the scope of the so-called free education ranges with higher institutions owned by the state.

The implication is that only students in Imo State University and Imo State Polytechnic Umuagwo representing less than 10 percent have the legitimacy to benefit from the exercise. This is indicative of one of the major flaws of the exercise. What is then the fate of our students in other higher institutions outside Imo state?

From the above, it isn't hard to see that this was a fraudulent scheme. 🤔

Cindypresh:
↪While kerosene price is skyrocketing, cooking gas too is going up, fuel price too is going up, food prices up, unemployment up. What exactly have we benefited from this Apc/tinubu government?? Was it not better with PDP?? And people still collect 30k from the government to sabotage other Nigerians crying for better governance
. 6kg of gas cylinder is now 25,000 naira...how many people can afford it and refiling it at #1,400 per kg now??
Gas is now #1400 per kg. Apc is a curse

So far, Nigerians never begin to move body at all so it seems we are all a long ways away from declaring #EnoughIsEnough.

LagosPrince:
So they paid the Obas and Baale to carry out the killings in ibarapa South west

Pretty much since these killings resulted from fulanis trespassing on private properties. See why I am against this stewpid system of traditional rulers in the 21st century. How could a well-meaning traditional ruler do this to his people? There is absolutely no valid reason for this to occur particularly since payment received is for the herders to access properties that belong, not to the obas or traditional rulers alone but to private citizens. This is fked!

Dogalmighty17:
↪I have known this for several years now. That's why none of those bastards we call traditional rulers can come out and challenge the fulani. They have sold their people out.
The fulani renew this payment every year.

WOW!!

trutharena:
They pay and also get compensated by government.

The fulani herdsmen get compensated by Government?

Sonnobax15:
Every sensible person know that... That's why most traditional rulers become speechless and powerless when these Fulani herdsmen and their cow destroy farmlands...
The truth is that these traditional rulers aren't and shouldn't be left out when the menace of Fulani herdsmen is being discussed cuz they are equally bigger actors in the whole situation...

This is disgusting abeg! So, the traditional rulers are in fact to blame for the Fulani incursion and destruction of properties?

Ogbuu101:
This is an impeachable offense. Is tinibu now spending without appropriation? Are we in a monarchy?

I don't understand why Nigerians don't react at all.

Jayhome24:
Ok. We have heard you when you leave office then we shall know. Another obi-diot a k a Mr saint than Jesus is loading....

Leave office? He will simply replace himself with another probably like him or worse since the people never lifted a finger to fight his institution.

Kokomaster69:
■ Someone who has been corrupt right from the time of otokoto , Abacha etc is claiming innocent. Person wey use 419 take start corruption for imo state, him think say people nor sabi am ?
He should know dat all of dem get their report cards after leaving office just like yeye bello.

Why the people never even so much as to attempt to call for his impeachment though?

Namelesscoder:
How are they able to arrive at this conclusion? There are far more worst people to be discovered

Check the man's history and you will find that most of his decisions were made against even the law and conscience. He oversaw the selling of the justice system to the highest bidder! Even your Supreme Court justices, under him, are now a rogue gang who sidestep the very Constitution they are responsible for upholding.

mmadu4:
look this useless governor .. i no blame you sha . i blame the unintelligent Nigerians that fraudulently brought you into power

The blame equally lies with those who do absolutely nothing to push for his removal knowing he was fraudulently foisted on them. Democracy does not work at all when people fold their hands and do absolutely nothing but whine against injustice.

4 billion naira per km.
Tinubu well done.
The kind of contract this fulish man is awarding just to enrich himself, will make one small company take over Nigeria before tinubu finish his tenure.
Where is the 50 million youths tinubu promised to recruit into Nigerian army
Even the agbadu and casava he promised his supporters, he can't provide.

According to the News, the company awarded the contract belongs to his son.

Leaked corporate documents have unveiled that Seyi Tinubu, the son of President Bola Tinubu, co-owned an offshore company with Ronald Chagoury Jr., the son of billionaire tycoon Ronald Chagoury.
This company, incorporated eight years ago in the British Virgin Islands, has come under scrutiny following the awarding of a $13 billion contract to build a 700-kilometer Lagos-Calabar coastal highway to Hitech Construction Company Ltd., a subsidiary of the Chagoury Group,
The contract for the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, a project of immense national significance, was awarded without a public bidding process, raising eyebrows and sparking allegations of favoritism and corruption.
The young Tinubu is also a director on the board of CD
Critics argue that the longstanding business and personal relationships between the Tinubu and Chagoury families have unduly influenced the awarding of the contract.

■ Imo state allocations has increased more than 40% under Tinubu, yet there's nothing to show for it.
Owerri used to be a top tourist destination but currently most people are scared of visiting Owerri and many businesses have relocated. I relocated some of my businesses from Owerri to other states because of insecurity.
It's disheartening to see the stark contrast in local governance between Lagos and Imo states. In Lagos state, local government chairmen are in serious competition. Over there LGA chairmen build schools, health centres, roads bridges, etc, but in the East, the state governors pocket LGA allocations and the citizens are not talking.
Dear Igbo youths, the root cause of our problem lies with our Igbo representatives - from house assembly members to senators and governors. After looting our commonwealth, they tell their followers that our problem is Hausa, Fulani or Yoruba which is absolute rubbishh.
I don't have any issues with any tribe, Hausa, Fulani, Yoruba, or anyone else. My problem is with bad politicians because if our senators and governors are doing their jobs nobody will even remember FG or Abuja.
I urge Igbo citizens to demand accountability and transparency from our leaders.
Let's all shun tribalism and demand for transparency and accountability. Ndewonu

Dem call for protest against #EndBadGovernance, nobody showed up! Rather, everyone was busy playing tribalism with protests, so, probably waiting until things get a lot worse than they already have for people to get decently riled up against the real problems.

Kosiso12:
Son of Slain Sokoto Emir Reveals Lawmaker Hired Bandits Who Abducted and Murdered His Father | #Politicsnigeria
Following the abduction and murder of Alhaji Isa Muhammad Bawa, the late Sarkin Gobir of Gatawa District, his son has alleged that a sitting member of the Sokoto State House of Assembly, Hon. Aminu Boza, was involved in the plot.
According to the son, the bandits who abducted and killed his father revealed that Boza provided them with crucial information and paid them N5 million to carry out the kidnapping.
In a video, the son of the late Bawa is seen lying on a sickbed while receiving treatment, recounting the details of the confession by the bandits.
“The bandits said in front of me that Aminu Boza was the one who gave them the guns to kidnap us,” he said. “They were given the weapons during the campaign period, and they told my father that they did not know him from anywhere but were paid N5 million to kidnap him.”

I hope people do not target the man without a deep investigation into the claims supposedly made by the kidnappers abeg! It just seems too convenient that the kidnappers fed the boy the information, killed his father, and then let him out so he could tell the world what they told him. 🤔

Atiku was in the news doing the very same thing your real man is now doing. Should we equally take that to mean that Atiku is a real man and his political past of no connection to his statements? 😀😀😀

All this bleh bleh bleh.. don't you folks get tired of it all? 🤔

↪National Youth Alliance Slams Opposition Leaders for Abandoning Nigerians In The Face Of Tinubu Obsession For Personal Comfort

This would have made more sense if it had come from someone else but this particular guy.

Meet Amb. Aliyu Bin Abbas; a Very Important Factor In Atiku’s Presidential Campaign Drives
A couple of months ago when former VP and PDP Presidential Candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar was inducted as the Grand Patron of Atiku Care Foundation; there was somebody in the forefront who led the ceremony, Amb. Aliyu Bin Abass.
Amb. Aliyu Bin Abass is the National Leader of the Atiku Care Foundation, and the Convener of ‘Coalition of Northern Nigerian Youths Congress’.
He is one of Atiku Abubakar’s figure heads in the mobilisation of Youths to vote for Atiku during the polls. He has been traveling to various States, LGA, and Communities to evangelise the Atiku’s dreams for the Nigerian Youths. He’s Atiku’s SA on Youths and other Support Groups…
As the Election Day draws nearer, let’s all keep calm and maintain maximum peace in this. We shouldn’t fight and kill ourselves because of divided political camps; make your choice on who you want to lead you for the next four years. There shouldn’t be any violent grandstanding….

All of this na politics as usual. https://www.nairaland.com/5001691/meet-aliyu-bin-abbas-very#75402558

Magnoliaa:
↪Shey Tinubu has sha entered? Your political opinion played a part in it.
↪Aluta continua to lamentations about Nigeria's woes then.

My political opinion has absolutely nothing to do with Tinubu's entry into government. According to you Obi folks, he rigged himself in. So how could a post I made 12 years ago have anything to do with that? 😂😂

By the way, if you search Nairaland, you will also find numerous posts of mind castigating Tinubu during his time as governor of Lagos State, as well as when Fashola was governor of Lagos State. Why didn't those comments work against Tinubu rigging himself into office? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

2. Whining does not change anything in Nigeria. The last 25 years is more than enough proof of this.

Magnoliaa:
↪ You did not consider your own criticism distraction? Now that people are legitly fed up, and moving on after trying, you guys are calling them jobless and all sort of names.

Peter Obi, Tinubu, Atiku, and Kwakwanso are all proven Kakistocrats. Their records reveal this and it would have turned out the same for Nigeria no matter which one of them was elected. Nigerians would remain without access to basic amenities and have their futures continuously stifled as a result. Just so you know!

There were about 23 names on the 2023 ballot, some of them not indicted by previous political history, by the way. I circled the one name I know that has never been elected for example but I bet there are other names on the list of people who are not even connected to the current breed of politicians that could have been tried by the people if not recycling incompetence in hopes of good governance was a goal. 🙂

You say people are fed up and moving on after trying but after trying what exactly? If people are truly fed up with the situation as you claim, wouldn't the common sense next action be to take to recall the kakistocrats they are fed up with or at least demanding immediate impeachment? I don't agree with you that the people are fed up actually. Rather, from your breath, it seems more like you are still disappointed that your kakistocrat of choice did not make it into office. This seems more like an ego issue than a real desire to have good governance.

By the way, I didn't call anyone names or say anything about them being jobless. After all, this is the Nigerians we are talking about. Their susceptibility to distractions is world renown.

Magnoliaa:
↪ Saying this while you're against Peter Obi is funny as hell.
I mean, yeah, you're free to praise or criticize whoever you want to for reasons that makes sense to you, but in an election where Obi, Atiku and Tinubu were on the ballot, you decided to still tear apart the underdog who had the chance of upsetting the political hegemony and rot of PDPAPC. With all due respect, I say "contrarian" positions like yours is exactly what will keep us in this mess.

You are wrong in assuming that I am to support popular opinion simply because. That isn't what democracy or even an election is or should be. 🤔

All 774 LGAs in Nigeria still lack basic infrastructure even as we speak.
■ No clean water supply to homes
■ No sewage and water management system
■ No waste management system
■ No good schools and services
■ No Internet connectivity to homes and businesses
■ No electricity supply to homes and businesses
■ No real Healthcare system
■ poor road network systems
■ Rail system is still nothing to write home about
■ No decent passenger rail systems
■ Terrible prison facilities /system
■ Lack of decent police presence in communities around the country
, etc.

Why? Because every single politician, including those elected into office at every level of government, neglected their basic responsibilities— good governance— to play politics instead. Peter Obi, Tinubu, Atiku & KwaKwanso are recorded among their numbers. This is my stance. Was the same back over 12 years(and more ago) here on Nairaland and remains the very same to this day.

By the way, I barely said anything about the last election and the 2 before it. I decided against debating Politics after it dawned on me as far back in 2011-2012 that Nigerians were(and still are) more interested in their Us-vs-Them political battles than they are in agitating for actual good governance. I took a break from Nairaland in 2012 and stayed away from politics since then until about April of this year even after returning to Nairaland in March/April of 2020. if you check my history, you will know this. So, you are attacking the wrong person.

Also, most of my posts that were used by your opponents were taken from as far as back 2012. Yes, they are all factual statements I made back then, statements which are true to this day by the way.

↪The only time Nigeria rise up is for Soccer. Out of all the well known good characters competing for Presidency, Tinubu Atiku and Obi lead the candidates. If that is not a sign that something is badly wrong, within, what could it be. Mention another candidate, tribalism will rise up from their shadows.

Nigerians have pretty much reduced themselves to zombies who serve the political class, all of them confirmed kakistocrats.

Haba! Don't you know that Buhari and Tinubu were planted in Nigeria by the U.S. and Europe to destabilize Nigeria and Africa naw! Everybody knows this! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

NaijaSumigan:
↪ War will soon meet with them. The next election will be bloody cos Tinubu is making every strategy to impose himself on Nigerians. That is where the madness of the Youths in Nigeria will emerge

Which Nigerian youths?

gaventa:
You that has not been concerned bout things like this what have you done to avert the spendings of the man at the helm of affairs?

If you understood democracy at least by half, you would realize that a significant number or lets say a majority is necessary to change things. With Nigerians distracted by so many other things but that which should matter, what do you think will continue to happen?

franchasofficia:
↪No need engaging you further because you don't really understand the Nigerian situation when it comes to election and judicial matters. Take care, you are entitled to your opinion but honest Nigerians know the truth

Nigerians from all regions are known for whining on social media and never actually fighting back against either corruption or even the kakistocrats they have in government. They pretty much have the government they want, all while they continue to wail for the sake of wailing, doing absolutely nothing about it all. South Easterners are no different!

franchasofficia:
↪ You are very correct, but are you not aware that Nigeria's electoral and judiciary are super corrupt?
↪ Do you think most of the Governors and state/national assembly members were elected by majority of Igbos?
↪ Didn't you see what happened in Imo state where Buhari foisted a man that came 4th on Imo state people against their wish?
↪ The only Governor elected by the people in Southeast today is Alex Otti, and it was because the Peter Obi effect during the last general election.
↪ Igbos also elected Chukwuma Soludo, Dave Umahi, but if Nigeria's electoral body was working, it these guys failed in their first tenure, they will not be reelected for second tenure but they usually take advantage of the compromised electoral and judiciary to perpetuate themselves into power.
↪ So don't blame the people entirely.

1. So, because it is assumed corrupt, you will never then attempt to use it in removing any of the leaders that plague you? Don't you see that such inaction is construed as a vote of confidence in favor of the very men who wield power given to them by you over you? Wake the fk up!

2. The recent review by Osita Chidoka shows that in both Imo and Bayelsa States, the people elected the current governors into power. You can't sit out an election and then claim that those who were elected were not elected by you. It does not in fact work that way at all. Your abstinence vote counts as a vote in favor of whoever eventually gets the mandate.

3. I didn't see the people of the same Imo State try to reject Buhari's decision which is within their power to do meaning they accepted it. Again, this is the way these things work. If you hate something you raise your will against it. Not sit back and whine about it, expecting to be taken seriously by that.

4. Story, story! You mean the APC stooge who only switched parties in 2022 to improve his chances of winning an election in the region, the same man the deputy speaker of the senate(another man whom the people refuse to recall by the way) claims will either vacate the government seat come next election or decamp back to APC? Nigerians like fooling themselves a lot.!

5. These men were elected by the numbers sure but that does not mean they are not as dirty as the many others out there in the same place.

After all is said and done, your governors(and politicians in the region — state Senators and Representatives) are the reasons for the military incursions in your land. They are the only ones who can demand the military be removed from the land. So ask them why they refuse to demand the pull out of the military from the zone to date.

6. Newsflash! When it comes to the effective workings of democracy — Government by the people for the people — the people are solely to blame!
