PoliticsRe: Andy Uba: The Man Anambrarians Want As Governor by Lightening: 1:40pm On Feb 11, 2017
Trumpism:
By Emeka Ekene

Since I started my series on Senator Andy Uba, the Senator representing Anambra South Senatorial District at the National Assembly, responses and feedbacks I have been getting are really encouraging.

This however shows that Anambrarians truly want Senator Uba as successor to the outgoing governor of the state, Mr. Willie Obiano.

Though the electoral umpire, the Independent National Electoral Commission is yet to release elections timetable for the state, but the people especially some stakeholders of the party, the All Progressives Congress have already made their position known to this writer. For Instance, a member of the State Working Committee of the party told yours sincerely that Senator Andy Uba is the man enjoying favourable opinion among the Exco Members when compared to other aspirants who will go for the party's primary later in the year.


At every major news stand in Awka and Onitsha, the name that keep recuring at every point of my investigation was Senator Andy Uba. They said, he is the man they want as governor because since his stay in the Senate, he has not only attracted Federal Presence to Anambra South Senatorial District but has constantly engaged the people in regular town hall meetings.

Accordingly, from the body lanquage of the National Working Committee members of the party, Senator Andy Uba is the aspirant who will likely clinch the party's ticket.

So far, if I am to express my own personal opinion, I will simply say the ticket should go to Senator Andy Uba, because he has unmatched political structure that will make him wrestle power from outgoing incumbent Governor Willie Obiano.

Lol. You suppose go see long a$$ queues of your SE brethren, abokkees and other Nigerians waiting in line and falling all over each other just to order day-old-chicks and other poultry needs (and they have to place order 3-months in advance sef) at OBJ farms Ibadan (FYI, no be only for Ogun state Obasanjo get big farm), not to talk of the even bigger ones like Chi, Anu-Oluwa, and the Babanla won - Zartech, e.t.c. Wetin you sabi??
They might even be waiting on queue for 3 years before they pick their order. It still does not obviate the fact that those farms were setup with looted public funds; Obasanjo farms were extinct as at 1999. We are talking about attracting clean investment not some opportunists that betrayed collective trusts.

Its complicated issue. I am not in support of violence by soldiers though so don't get me wrong.

Now what the law says is do not put on camouflage of any kind. So if you get beaten up for wearing camouflage, you will recall that "he who goes to Equity must go with clean hands".
Pls educate us further. Which law exactly? Nigerians have been so brutally tamed into morons over the years by these uniformed men. It is a shame that our now timid mentality is making us believe that some maltreatments and abuses we suffer daily are actually lawful. SMH

Every Muslim is a terrorist, potential terrorist or silent supporter. I bet you, this is just the starting point. The ban will soon cone the way of those exempted. You guys should just reform Islam or know that this will be the beginning of the end.

Do you know that Germany and France have just joined forces against US because of that singular action of Trump?

Do you know that the best tech organisations in US, like those in the Silicon Valle, source their top brains in countries like Iran and co, which were also banned?

Do you know that this singular action could cause top nations to boycott US?

Do you know that the Prime Minister of Britain has vehemently stated that Britain is against that shiit?

Do you know that that shiity order was actually signed on Holocaust Remembrance Day?

Finally, do you know that that ban has the capacity to hit US citizens all over the world like tornado?

Bro, Trump should at least have enough sense to use the judgment of a court in the US against the ban as an excuse to back down on that silly stuff.

Donald Trump has ordered a four-month ban on all refugees entering the US.

The President also singled out refugees from Syria as barred from entering the country indefinitely, or until he himself decides they are allowed in.No visas will be issued to immigrants from seven mainly-Muslim nations including Syria, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen for 90 days.

"I'm establishing new vetting measures to keep radical Islamic terrorists out of the United States of America. Don't want them here," Trump said earlier on Friday at the Pentagon.
"We only want to admit those into our country who will support our country and love deeply our people," he said.

There were reports of Syrian families who have spent up to two years being vetted for a visa left stranded at the airport having sold all their possessions.

What made them leave their countries?

The west bombed Iraq because of Sadam Hussein thereby creating refugees

The west bombed Libya because of Gaddafi there by creating refugees from that land.

The west bombed Syria because they want to unseat Assad thereby creating refugees

The west alongside Saudi bombed Yemen creating refugees there.

Who created these refugees?

This is because the only appropriate reaction to the assault of those on Christians is violent slaughter of the Fulani's. Feeding them their own pills raw. We are no longer going to pray. God's silence means that he long expected us to start taking decisive actions. That's the way forward.

Oga take a chill pill. Just disprove that Yoruba Imams are not allowed to lead prayer in a mosque that Hausa Muslims worship.
When I did my youth service in kano, the humiliation got so much that Yoruba's started erecting their own mosques. During one of the riot, they organized and invaded one Yoruba Alhaji's home and met him praying. They patiently waited for him to be done with his prayer before they slaughtered him.
The puzzle that you should be bothered about here is why do the Hausa Muslims want Yorubasto convert to Islam on one hand and still turn around to ridicule them as inferior Muslim on the other. Try to unravel this mystery rather than insulting @Buharimydog.
