When these jokers are done they will tell Nigerians the main reason why they are holding Dr Ifeanyi Ubah for no just course. I am sure the man is simply being perceived as threat to their evil plots and they want him incarcerated for nothing! May God heal the land

When I read stuff as this I wonder where sanity is in this nation? How on earth will a nation's spy police allow itself to be this politicized and tribalized?

Dr Ifeanyi Ubah is a well known Nigerian with impeccable reputation, a perfect gentleman with immeasurable business knowledge, why would he want to sabotage the nation and business that has brought him success? And what are the accusations against him to warrant death sentence? If not that this DSS folks are jokers...

Dr Ifeanyi Ubah is a true patriot and a leader. He has made Anambra proud once more. May God continue to bless and strengthen him

It is very apparent that Willie Obiano has lost it, he lacks the quality of good leadership. If not, how do one explain his excesses, his inability to work with major stakeholders in the state and his unwillingness to acknowledge men and women who have been contributing massively to the development of the state both economically and socially. Willie Obiano should just finish is one term and leave the stage for a serious minded person to stir the affairs of Anambra State.

When you see a man with heart of gold you will know. The man Ifeanyi Ubah is simply one with heart of gold. It is said a river that forgets its source dries up quickly! For Asisat Oshoala truly hasn't forgotten her root which means she will surely be around for years to come. A great and productive collaboration for Oshoala and Dr Ubah.

Dr Ifeanyi Ubah is a true patriot and philanthropist per excellence. Always looking for ways to make life better for the masses. Kudos to him

Dr Ifeanyi Ubah has champion a cause yet again. Kudos to a great man of vision and good one from Westham united.

Great move and a welcome development for Anambra and Nigeria football as a whole

Our young ones can now see their dreams fulfilled and can contribute their quota to sport and also be gainly indulged. Kudos to Dr Ifeanyi Ubah and Westham united

This is great move from the indefatigable Dr Ifeanyi Ubah, as it will involve our youths and make them productive. This will cum crimes and provides room for sport development

The judgement didn't hit me as a surprise because we all know that the innocent will not suffer lost. Dr Ifeanyi Ubah is a honest and dogged businessman that knows his onions. He has got a midas touch so for these reasons good tidings follows him always.

The tenacy of Dr Ifeanyi Ubah is so worthy of emulation. He never give up neither does he take NO for an answer. It is a good one for Dr Ifeanyi Ubah am happy he got a deserving and favouarble judgement in this case.

Who God has bless, no man can curse! Dr Ifeanyi Ubah is blessed and fovoured by God so am not surprised by the judgement. Nice one for him. Kudos ...

Again, another misplaced priority especially when his place of birth has none. Anyway, na him money, but wait, has he buried his Father?

To answer your question, Sir Emeka Offor has no problem burying his father and how is a misplaced priorty if he wants to do this? Lemme educated you a bit on the wonder charity works this Engama called Sir Emeka Offor has done and still doing.

Apart from within his conglomerate, Sir Emeka has helped innumerable people secure jobs in Nigeria and abroad. The breadwinners of many families are gainfully employed today through the efforts of this great member of the Offor family.
Sir Emeka Offor’s star of charity shines far beyond his immediate community. Again, we wish to mention but a few of his national and international works of benevolence:
 Partnering with a U.S. based NGO, Sir Emeka Offor has through his eponymous Foundation donated books, reading materials and computers worth over $22 million to schools and communities in more than 18 countries in Africa including Nigeria.
 Sir Emeka Offor has established a glaucoma research centre at the Department of Ophthalmology, University of Mainz, Germany and in conjunction, established a Nigerian fellowship for cataract surgery and glaucoma management at the university.
 Sir Emeka Offor donated $2 million, which was matched with a grant of an additional $4 million from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, to support the Global Polio Eradication Initiative launched by the Rotary International, the World Health Organization, UNICEF and the U.S. Center for Disease Control.
 Sir Emeka Offor, through his Foundation, entered into a long-term agreement with The Carter Centre to eliminate river blindness (‘onchocerciasis’) in Nigeria. Pursuant thereto, Sir Emeka Offor provided a $10 million grant to the Carter Center, the largest grant ever received by the Center, to facilitate the Center’s efforts in eliminating river blindness in Nigeria.

ANSOM:
Just recently, news about plans by controversial businessman Sir Emeka Offor to rehabilitate a library in Daura made headlines on social media.

Excerpts of the story:

The Sir Emeka Offor Foundation is rehabilitating a library in Daura which is in a dilapidated state.

The Founder of Sir Emeka Offor Foundation and management of the Foundation did a facility tour of the library in Daura, Katsina state.

The library is in dearth of books and the facilities are generally dilapidated.

Sir Emeka Offor promised to help fix the library and ensure the supply of books and other facilities to it’.

Our View on this:

Sir Emeka Offor is the current Chairman of the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company.

Since he assumed that office, a lot of controversies have been reported under his watch which includes (but not limited to) the detention and dehumanization of some members of the National Union of Electricity Employees, NUEE, South-East Zone last year.

You can read about this particular incident here: http://dailypost.ng/2015/06/26/electricity-workers-threaten-industrial-action-over-detention-of-eedc-staff/

Apart from that, the current state of Electricity Distribution in the South East is deplorable.

It has also been reported that the staff under the payroll of his chain of businesses are owed salaries for many months.

Questions Arising:

Why should Sir Emeka Offor who should be saddled with the responsibility of reversing the rot in the Electricity Sector which bedevils the livelihood of individuals and businesses in the South East be more interested in rehabilitating a library in "far away Daura"?

We know some people who may be quick to come to his defence would say it is a gesture from his foundation but that is where another question arises...How many libraries has the Sir Emeka Offor Foundation rehabilitated in his hometown in Ekwusigo LGA or Anambra State as a whole?
Why should he "take the so-called tour" of the said library at a time when the President who hails from Daura is currently in power and not before now?

Which laudable Charity initiative has his foundation embarked on to improve the lives of the less-privileged in society if any? (We tried to check this on his foundation's website but found out the said website of the foundation was even offline)

If this show of unprecedented gesture of renovating and re-equipping a library which should have been a task for the Katsina State Min. of Education or relevant authorities representing Daura in the House of Assembly is being done based on the basis of Charity, we wish him (Sir Emeka Offor) well but also urge him to remember his people who need his "philanthropy" down here in the South-East because like they say, "Charity Begins At Home"

We only hope that this "gesture" is not being done in a bid to curry the favour of President Buhari to award him juicy contracts in the bid to salvage his sinking business empire which has gone bankrupt as was being speculated in various online media such as http://buzznigeria.com/businessman-emeka-offor-broke/

One does not leave his house which is on fire and chase rats!

Sir Emeka Offor built Ekwusigo LGA Central Police Station .
 Sir Emeka Offor provided a free water scheme for the four quarters of Oraifite (Unodu, Ezumeri, Irefi and Ifite).
 Do we talk about the various skill acquisition programs undertaken by youths of Ekwusigo LGA under Sir Emeka Offor’s Youth Empowerment Scheme? Just last year, Sir Emeka Offor not only trained over one hundred youths in various skill acquisition programs but also empowered them financially to start their own businesses on completion of their training .

modath:
Library in Daura? Really?

When news made rounds that this man is flat out broke ( caveat: billionaire broke is not impoverishment) , some folks almost convulsed in rage and misdirected angst.

Even if there isn't any library in the whole of Anambra /SE , he could have built one from scratch if he was really all about enriching minds....


What a way to suck up!!! This isn't "bottom suckling", this is a barely veiled beggarly act of an individual with neither pride nor dignity!!!

Agip extraordinaire!!!

Why won't you guys stop this malicious act? Sir Emeka Offor through his foundation and companies has done wonderful projects in his native community, state and the nation at as whole. He as an individual contrubuted 50% to the construction of the Anglican cathedral in his town, through his foundation he has given $1million to the eradication of Oncocarsis (river blindness) in Nigeria, mind you this is 2nd highest to what Bill and Melinda Gate foundation gave on support to the same course. Sir Emaka Offor is a great man and should be accorded his respect

I can see that these people won't learn. Sahara reporters and their attack dogs are out for what they are known for which is lie peddling but if you guys think you Mar the noble name of Sir Emeka Offor? Sorry una no reach. The man is simple success personified so make una go next shop maybe market go sell. Stop hating the man who God has blessed... Sahara reporters go learn journalism and how investigate before printing trash just to gain cheap traffic on ur online platforms

The man Emaka Offor is nothing but an enigmatic individual who has done well for himself and as well be a blessing not only to his immediate community but his generation and humanity at large, so for Sahara reporters to fabricate lies about such a person is dishearten but what can one say when we all know Sahara reporters is a gathering of quacks and hungry individuals who will peddle lies and propaganda against their parent for few thousand Naira.

Dutchboy:
Why did'nt he better our lives after he got hundred of millions of dollars to fix Warri and Port Harcourt refineries?He should refund the money or get ready for jail.

Wow! It amazes me when I hear supposed to be schooled fellows make statement(s) theyiuvhe can substantiate. But as it is known Sahara reporters and their goons will always bark and ruble as they are ruble rosters. #CommonSenseIsnotCommon

This Sugarbelly babe is nothing but a scam, she is only seeking for attention, but sorry for her and she is getting a very wrong one. She needs to go get a life

The man, Dr Ifeanyi Uba is a noble man and has nothing to hide so I never believed in d said arrest. So am not surprise when d news came out dat he wasn't arrested initially. God bless Ifeanyi Uba and may he continue to prosper

Dr Ifeanyi Uba was the man that saved Obi Jackson life! If not for Ifeanyi Uba's intervention he (jackson) wud have been mug be d angry youths. Obi Jackson is neither a contestant nor Inec official yet he was at Ihala to manipulate d electoral process.

Obi Jackson is just here making noise, he was caught about to rig election now he is shouting and ranting foul! I wish d security operatives had allowed d angry youths deal with him
