IGBOSON1:Enough of the rant already ! You know where to direct your frustrations, Igbo politicians. Why don't you direct you artillery at them for continuously selling out. Have watched them over the decades betray their own for a meal of porridge. Watched how they betrayed Ekwueme in 1998, Watched Ohaneze host meetings of Igbo politicians and reel out communique of "Igbo Presidency or nothing" only to turn back and support incumbent weeks later to the detriment of their own, Watched many of them whom I know were awarded contracts for big projects in Igboland embezzle them and did nothing. Truth is, we have to love ourselves(which doesn't translate to hating others), we have to learn the game of politics which is by building consensus with others. That was what Tinubu did successfully with the North and other Igbo leaders tried so unsuccessfully to direct our people to but people like you refused. Igbos can't stand alone, we must stake our claim in the Nigeria project through active collaboration with other ethnic groups in order to succeed. If you stand alone, don't claim others conspired against you, No! You didn't play your game well and lost. Our politicians from the time I know them are so self centred and Ndigbo are the least on their agenda. My point, I'm well versed in the history of persecution of our people before and during the war but if we allow hatred to blind us, we won't get anywhere. We need others in order to move in National politics and that is the only way to beat them in the game. Ojukwu kept talking about handshake across the Niger cos he knows that's the only way we can stake our claim. Besides, our Governors working for us coupled with our aggressive enterprising nature, even without Federal help we'll be light years ahead of others in development just as in the present Anambra scenario, but will they? Didn't a certain T. A Orji mess Abia up leaving heaps of refuse for a legacy. Didn't he sack his Igbo brothers and Sisters of other states from Abia civil service? Didn't Enugu do the same when they got a new state in 1991? How does the Anambra man see the Enugu man when using the derogatory name Wawa to refer to him? Other examples abound. We need to love ourselves first irrespective of political boundary and dialect. That's why I tell people that those who think our problems will be over once they give us Biafra to think again cos it is then that internal strife will rear its head. South Sudan is a case in point. Enough! |
Igbonazy:Not at all, Ojukwu was by all standards a hero who saved us from the killings in the North at the time. I said that much. But my point was that pulling the East out of Nigeria was not his original plan but because of necessity to save Igbo lives at that time. |
Jakpon:You need psychiatric evaluation. Stop beating the drums of war as it does nobody no good. Think rather of how to live in peace with other Nigerians whilst we do our thing in making the entire Ani Igbo stand out from the rest of Nigeria. Biafra war is over and we're are already ahead of others in development, mostly from self-effort and recently with the help of responsible state governments. Therefore we should prove our competitiveness through development not fighting. Germany arose from the ashes of World War 2 to become the most advanced and richest country in Europe and is today leading the European Union as big Brother. A feat Hitler foolishly thought he could get through fighting, they got through hardwork and enterprise. Many Igbos have the erroneous impression that Ojukwu just wanted us to just have Biafra but no, Biafra was a child of necessity because of the killings. It was a last resort. He did so reluctantly. We're better off in Nigeria and proving to those envious of us that we are in a league of our own. I wish other Igbo States will wake up and catch the new drift taking place in Anambra and Enugu. All what Igbos need is to have selfless politicians, and we'll propell our own development. We have never depended on Federal. |

Anyone who knows the Governor should give him this idea. He should look into doing some fresh Street roads so that Anambra doesn't look like a concrete jungle. There are too many earth roads. Enugu state government under Chime did a lot of this. (I know Rome wasn't built in a day but our Governor should keep this idea in mind) They should also vigorously pursue greening the environment with trees and grasses and completely prohibit pasting of posters which defaces the environment. They should impose heavy fines on anyone whose poster is found anywhere (This only requires political will) . This will make the environment saner and more beautiful. If you construct the most beautiful flyover in the world and they deface it with posters, you've lost it. Anyone who wants to advertise anything should go for billboards or distribute handbills. Thats how its done in the UK and even in Calabar and thats why that city looks like Europe. Lagos too started putting up signs warning against defacing environment with posters but a penalty of heavy fine will keep prospective offenders at bay. Again there are too many signboards littering Anambra environment thereby making it unsightly. A law should be made that all signboards should be of the same template and stuck to the walls of the business building in an orderly manner. This when implemented will give us a neat pleasant aesthetic Anambra. Besides those signboards obscure road signs which is dangerous and bad for motorists. A friend from Cross River told me that their government spends over 60 million monthly paying sweepers and contractors handling refuse evacuation from streets. He said that Donald Duke used to visit neighbourhoods unannounced and would promptly revoked any environmental contract found wanting. No wonder their environment looks so clean. Anambra needs to borrow a leaf. Some of these things are the things Donald Duke did to make Calabar a beautiful city whilst I picked some living in London. Most of these things won't cost money, just political will but they will make our state beautiful. We are already moving into a league of our own by having the best road network in the country. We should take it a notch higher by being the most organised, most beautiful, and most liveable. Let's just leave the rest of Nigeria behind. Anambra ga adi mma! |
Kingsley1000:I pity you and your Ifeanyi UBA. People going into politics these days to make money. Obiano is good enough though I didn't support him during elections. He has proved his mettle and can still do a lot in the remaining 3 years. |

Having done Customer Service job myself in a reputable organisation in the UK years back, I find Nigerian Bankers a bunch of jokers. Can't say whether its because of the culture or lack of training. When I came to Nigeria and went to Ecobank, I shook my head in disappointment as the so-called customer service lady was so full of herself, No smile, No eye contact, No friendly tone whatsoever, and of course basic courtesy was totally absent. I remember complaining to a friend about it. Anyone who experiences what real customer service is in the UK will tell you that Nigerians are rude at it. In the UK you will almost think they are falling in love with you but no, they are just being professional and of course raising voice at customer is unthinkable. I suggest banks should be sending them to the UK for a weeks course. I blame bank management who don't want to spend money to expose their staff and train them properly. |
They should bring back our flagship airline but managed by private sector operator just like British Airways did. |
This place looks like Nigerian High Commission near Trafalgar Square. I guess he's processing Nigerian visa hence the bag to show solidarity. |
ShineuEye:Someone who was World Bank Vice President Africa, two-time Minister, Head of Due Process Office, Chartered Accountant, and Havard-trained Economist "does not know anything" according to you. Tell us what do you know and what have you achieved? What is your qualification to begin with? |
Maxymilliano:We're signatory to Ecowas treaty! We're bound to do that. |
sosanova:At least he was a commissioner! What is your father? What are you? Those who mock people rarely make anything out of life themselves. |
onismate:Guy, this last episode casts doubt over the whole story. I mean the judgement part where you were let off to be deported and soji sentenced to death for the same offence. I enjoyed the story though whether real or not. |
GOD bless these men & women who put their lives on the line so that we can sleep with eyes closed. Without them Boko Haram would have invaded even the south by now and only God knows what would have been our fate. |
Hmm! Change is here... |
I pity europe! |
Fear of PMB! |
EggovinMma:You're already bleeped! What could be worse than a lazy scrounger like you with the sole ambition of sponging off men for a living. Runs does not pay, get your sorry ass off your sofa and find something decent to do for a living rather than selling your body to the highest bidder. |
EggovinMma:Must you depend on a man for livelihood? Whatever happened to women working hard on their own? Think of what you'll contribute to a man's life not just what you'll take. Stupid you said? Haven't read more stupid posts than yours and you still have a chance to turn your life around from your current mindset before its too late. Just an advice! |
EggovinMma:You really do sound like a runs girl. Warped values! All your comments reek of it even your pix. You'll probably discover too late that true success doesn't come by running after the rich. That's how some of you miss your luck in life. The big things of life come in small packages and the greedy lot always miss them. Ask Mama Peace who GEJ was when they met. Ask Michelle who Obama was when the met. In your mind, they were broke niggas! |
If you do, dem go talk, if you no do dem go still talk. Just suit yourself Aisha! Woman of honour |
Jagoon:You're on point! Many Church people are yet to realise the fraud of tithing. |
sunshine1974:In God's book, family comes first! Deut 14:26 |
Don't even pay tithes at all. It's the biggest fraud in christendom. Use that money to help the poor in the church instead and God will bless you. Read Deut 14:22-end. I'm sure your pastor always quotes from malachi not this scripture. Anyways, Tithing was for old testament jewish farmers who followed the mosaic law. The beneficiaries who normally ate from it were you, your family, and a part goes to strangers in the land, the poor and the levites (not pastors). I don't have time to expatiate but don't fall for Pastor's intimidation with the 'malachi curse'. It took me years to break free from their stranglehold on this issue. New Testament only recommends cheerful giving. |

Nearly a decade ago whilst a student at Uniben, I managed to procure accomodation in this same Hall 4, have forgotten which Unit now. I could only last there 2 weeks due to the very horrible sanitary condition, especially the toilets, couldn't even use the bathroom but instead bathed outside. It remains till date the most horrible experience I've had and thoughts of those restrooms still make me shriek with disgust. I'm awed the authorities still havent done much to ameliorate the situation. Needless of course to say that some of the students' standard of hygiene could best be described as bestial. Can't say more! |
xkris11:Unlike Nigeria, the culture in the UK is that when someone invites you for dinner or even birthday at a restaurant, you pay for what you eat. Sounds odd but that's it. I once made that mistake myself having come from Nigeria but was lucky I had some change in my pocket which saved the day. I guess that was the situation the dude found himself but couldn't bail himself out. |
Chai! This so-called Fayemi's Aide has destroyed any chance Fayemi has of being considered for any position because PMB won't be happy this story bursted through him. This is what a flippant aide can cost you. |
Apparently, Saraki forgot that PYO before his commissionership was already a SAN & a Professor while he was still a Mr. Saraki |
As if you know what's in their bank account! |
yakubuomowumi:Go and find out how much a Senior Advocate of Nigeria charges to handle a case in court let alone if it involves a corporate organisation. He's also a Professor of law not a pauper. I'm glad he had them before he became VP lest conspiracy theorists like you devour his reputation. |
