And you’re old and losing it

Abi you no reach make EBOLA give you one portfolio

Or you’re okay with your Nairaland pay per post

No matter how hard you are promoting your "EBOLA" virus on this platform, it will not catch anyone but you alone.

franchasofficia:
The problem you Yoruba political criminals and lovers of iniquity have is that you see your fellow political criminals, treasury looters and jobbers as representative of the people of the regions they come from. The same way you lost souls from the fallen demon believe that political criminals from Southeast like Orji Kanu, Rochas, Hope Uzodinma, Nnamani and co are the mouthpiece of the Igbos.....no wonder a whole Yoruba tribe dissed their reputable sons of integrity like Akinwunmi Adesina, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, etc to be foolishly supporting an identity-less, druggie cum Lagos treasury looter Tinubu as the representative of the great Yoruba tribe just because he throws stolen money and engages in dirty Yoruba-tribal-bigotry politics that rewards criminality and corruption in the name of playing politics of building bridge you lost souls call sophistication which is filled with treachery, backstabbing, pretense and what have you

You are ranting, what are you saying?

Please keep your excessive tribal hatred under wrap, and write in a comprehensible manner.

franchasofficia:
Please why are Yorubas so scared of Niger Delta and Middlebelt?


Anytime someone from Southsouth or Middlebelt criticize or attack Tinubu or Yorubas, instead of attacking them back, you cowardly Yorubas will rather attack Igbos by calling the person Omo Igbo disguising as Niger Delta or Middlebelt.

E be like say you Yorubas think Southsouth and Middlebelt love una and hate Igbos?


The last Presidential election ought to open una eyes that Middlebelt and Southsouth no de fall for Yoruba deception and lies against Igbos like before, they now know you Yoruba poeple are the enablers of Fulani madness in Nigeria.


The whole world now understand Yorubas politics of bigotry, treachery against Igbos, its no longer working, wake up and face anybody that attack Yoruba and stop wishing they are all Igbos u love ganging up with others to attack cos one on one, Igbos will send you Yoruba Muslim cowards to Togo and Benin where una fall from

So why is Asari Dokubo carrying arms to defend Tinubu?

Or why is Wike, a SS strongman, or Keyamo or Reno some of the most strident supporters of Tinubu?

Or why is Tompolo still working for his government, or why is Ayade or Oshiomole Ministers in his government?

So who and who are the SS against Tinubu?

Or why are there no LP governors in the SS or the the Middlebelt if they are so much lovers of the Igbos leadership qualities? Even the only one in the SE, Otti, is about to lose his seat.

If you are talking of the miscreants on Nairaland who are masquerading as SS, they are nonentities whose views are useless in the political arena.

Go and marry from your village, dem plenty dere.

She is too cute for a village boy like you

And We Lost Dr. Vwaere To Nigeria’s Anyhowness.

When Dr. Vwaere was being inducted as a Nigerian doctor after her six-year sojourn at Babcock University last year, she had high hopes and expectations.

She had hopes for a flourishing medical career.

Expectations to use her newly learned medical skills to benefit the community and society at large.

Training a child at a Babcock medical college is quite expensive and does not come cheap.

3.5 million per annum for school fees alone during her time; it is now 6.5 million per annum, but her parents did it because they wanted to give the best to their daughter and then to avoid the anyhowness in the Nigerian university eco system.

Post-induction, Dr. Vwaere got a place to do her internship at General Hospital (Odan, Lagos Island), a facility owned by the Lagos State Government.

Before Dr. Vwaere joined the General Hospital as a student doctor, it was noticed by the resident doctors and staff of the hospital that the only elevator at the hospital had been in bad shape since 2018 and then there was no running water in the hospital.

But because of Nigeria’s anyhowness, one big madam, or Oga, siphoned or embezzled the money meant to replace the elevator while patchy work was done at the elevator to serve as a temporary respite, endangering people's lives in the process and turning deaf ears to the genuine complaints by resident doctors at the hospital.

The elevator was so bad that it stopped at intervals, and you had to manually use your hand to close it in order to continue your journey.

The carelessness, wickedness, and anyhowness culture we have here have finally ended the journey and the dreams of Dr. Vwaere.

Just like the rest of us, Dr. Vwaere woke up today with bright hopes for the month of August.

She was upbeat for one reason: her housemanship at General Hospital (Odan, Lagos Island) was finally coming to an end.

She had less than two weeks to round up

She went to work excited that she has less than 2 weeks to complete her housemanship.

And this afternoon, a dispatch rider who brought the food she ordered online called her on the phone to let her know that he was around.

Since she was free, she elected to go and pick the food herself from the ground flour where the dispatch rider was, and on her way to meet the dispatch rider,

She entered the faulty elevator.

And then disaster struck.

The elevator fell from the 10th floor, where she was, to the ground with a loud thud that shook the foundation of the hospital.

Even the dispatch rider who was waiting at the entrance of the elevator thought that Armageddon was here when he heard the noise, so the man ran for his dear life.

It took one hour before Dr. Vwaere was rescued from the debris of what was once the elevator.

She was still alive, though badly injured, and was bleeding when she was brought out and rushed to the emergency section of the hospital.

And from multiple accounts of those who witnessed the surreal drama

Dr. Vwaere was crying that she did not want to die; even while stuck in the elevator for hours, she was crying for help.

"I don't want to die; help me," she cried nonstop.

She cried that she wanted to live and not die, but her desire to live was truncated by Nigeria's anyhowness, which snuffed the life out of her.

Again, Nigeria's anyhowness kicked in and deprived her of this chance to live.

She was taken to the emergency section of the hospital, but after another delay because there was no blood,

That was how Dr. Vwaere gave up the ghost.

The young lady died just like that.

Corruption kills, and this is another part of corruption we don't discuss well enough.

We just lost Dr. Vwaere because of that hydra-headed monster and Nigeria’s culture of anyhowness.

I am visibly upset as I’m writing this.

This is not right.

We can’t continue like this.

We can’t continue living like this, like animals.

For how long will we continue to tolerate losing our best and brightest to this culture of mediocrity?

Nigeria keeps devouring its youth.

Nigeria failed Dr. Vwaere; may her innocent blood spilled for no reason haunt and punish those criminals who embezzled the money meant for a new elevator.

Zionmdde:
Still waiting to see any apc supporter who is not foolish.

So a person seeking to serve the country doesn't know the anthem. They think the anthem is just a song. Because they are too stupid to realize that an anthem represents the core beliefs of a country

Can you recite the first stanza of our National Anthem offhand without missing the wordings, not to talk of the second stanza?

It is always easy to critize when you are not facing the same situation.

EKONGKING:
Nigeria should focus on its problems , We should not get dragged into other people problems . The world is divided between westerners and others .Niger as a country should not and must not be a proxy war between NATO and Russia .

Nigeria as a country should play larger sized role in diplomacy ,we should send Buhari for diplomatic talks and peace deals , War is not at an option for Nigeria at this critical time .

Just like Buhari made Goodluck a peace ambassador , Tinubu should think along the same lines .

This is a good suggestion. Buhari is the right man for the diplomatic job, being their kinsman.

But that is if the junta won't shot him at first sight, considering his open closeness to the deposed Bazoum government.

TheOldGods:
oga just shut up. Everything is not about tribe. The Nigerian coup should have happened from the very first day buhari, APC disobeyed court order, that was the very first day the military would have removed that dictator. We are practicing democracy. Not dictatorship.

Which court order?

That is expected, because birds of the same evil feathers flock together.

They should please keep their flight path far away from Nigeria.

Shattuck:
Which southern Nigeria? this is agbado govt, southern Nigeria never voted for him.

Then where did he got the 5% votes he got in your Igbo community?

Abi na ghosts vote him there?

SmartPolician:
Two wrongs don't make a right, bros.

Tinubu should stick to federal character.

And more importantly, why are the Yoruba sociopolitical groups no longer drumming support for restructuring
Everyone shouldn't go mom now and start shouting restructuring when another northerner comes to power. We should stop running a hypocritical country.

This is the Restructuring

The restructuring will get to the Igbos soon. They should just exercise patience and let we Yorubas enjoy it in peace for now.

leisuretym:
Chair, which song can I dedicate to a thief, someone that stole my spare type?

Dedicate "Thief" by Spare Tire to him.

He will surely repent and return your tyre.

Who else think our goalkeeper is overrated…

Not me. She is giving her best as a woman goalie.

Nigeriagood:
Nigeria go into the break behind by a goal

It is 0:0.

Where do you see your own scores?

Bobbiee:
This is what I see happening in the coming weeks.

1. Nationwide looting of stores and warehouses
2. Leading to massive military and police intervention
3. Leading to civilian deaths
4. Looting continues unperturbed but is now accompanied by nationwide protests and riots
5. Military intervention intensifies
6. Nationwide curfew is declared and economic activities ground to a halt.
7. Families are laid off from work and crime and looting runs rampant.
8. The military might eventually forcefully take over as the country devolves into complete anarchy or more deaths would eventually lead to crime and looting reducing. Many people would be afraid to go out. Families would die from starvation.
9. Meanwhile many fringe groups and agitations would spring out, tossing the country into civil war.

Fake expectations.

Only national strike will occur, and that is if NLC do not botch it again.

millionboi2:
can you teach me crypto?

Na from Ruth you wan learn your own crypto?

You no see YouTube go learn?

If you wan marry go village

GorgeousAF:
Lack of commitment!!!!
You woo a lady,u marry her and all of a sudden you stop doing the things that made her fall in love with you,no effort at all whatsoever..you reduce d calls to zero,no care,no affection..... especially if she has kids for you then you think that's where her life ends...some men need to do better..na just fear of God if not!!!!!

If not what?

You too wan join the club?

Be warned, your hubby has private eyes watching you day and night.

nedekid:
Sister, I know this people personally. This lady and the husband started life small, small. Both lawyers. She believed him him when he had nothing, just a skinny young man. She is chiefs daughter. Raised in a proper home, humble, as they struggled together. She will go abroad, work and use the money to buy equipments for her passion, tailoring. This man worked in one small cubicle of an office in one company in ogba. When kids started comming, the ladys parents house was where the kids will be dropped for days to allow the young couple free movement. There was no fantastic money then.
Overtime fate smiled in this family and they became wealthy, billionaires. The man, a perfect gentleman. Never knew he could add weight though as he was a slim fine man then, still handsome now.
Perfect family, just a mistake with that lady ie an affair. She hooked patanity of her second child on the man.
What do you expect his wife of over 30 years, marraige they had in their youth to do? Everything they own, they built together. Mind you, the wife too is a lawyer just as her husband.
Abeg, she should go all out, stick to her husband and make sure that lady does not destroy anything.
The man should make sure he makes a proper will protecting his family and domicile assets in trusts with his wife and kids as beneficiaries. If not, should anything happen to him, that intruder will fight them to the end.

Thanks for the insight.

Side chicks are always the slippery slope of any successful man. Wealth and fame in a man will always attract undue attention of frivolous women.

Bubu4Sea:
Lets be clear igbos have a good reason to want out of this country.

They are hated.

Yet the same people who hate them are scared of them leaving.

Igbos are hated because they exhibit inbred hatred against all other tribes too.

Hate begets hate.

And unfortunately for them, many have left their home region to spread themselves and build homes and businesses across other regions. So if this growing intertribal hatred metamorphosed to intertribal conflicts, the Igbos will suffer the greatest loss.

So they should mellow down on their irritating tribal insults, superiority complex and victim mentality for peace to reign.

And if they succeed in achieving their Biafra agenda, what will happen to their large number of kinsmen who have established homes and businesses across other regions? Have they thought about this?

Dragging in religion to solve real life problems?

Naaa!!

Every thing no be God mata.



Do you know why many Nigerian students can't perform well academically?

Do you know why Nigerians are easy to be corrupted or oppressed?

It's all because of the kind of Nigerian discipline you find perfect..

Nigerian discipline fail to tackle real life problems..

All your analysis so far on parenting are based on feral European values, and I truly believe you are not a parent yet, and not an African parent at best.

I have a son who got a fully funded undergraduate scholarship to study in an American University, along with others from Nigeria here. And he with majority of other Nigerian colleagues in his set came out summa cum laude (First Class) from the university, and were well celebrated. Why because they were all well trained on Nigeria ethical values. So your theory that Nigerian students are underperforming has no basis.

There are also many universities in Nigeria whose standards are high for admission and studies, and there are many young children who got in and are doing well despite this. Why, because their parents inculcate in them good moral values of hardwork and serious ambition.

So bra, teach your kids good manners when they are young and under your control if you want peace of mind at your old age.

Nnadozie is the Vincent enyema of the female team

She deserves the woman of the match

She conceded two goals, why does she deserves MOTM? What about those who scored the goals?

While you are busy bickering over nothing here, your mates, the Nigerian women World Cup team are presently winning their 2nd match against Australia by 3:1.

Will give update when the match finished.

Alex Otti: A disaster foretold?, by Eze Chikamnayo

Dear Otti,

As you know, I did not vote for you and will NEVER be a part of your hypocritical Government because of my conviction that you lack the candour, capacity, commitment, capability and broad mindedness required to successfully steer the ship of Abia in this critical point of our metamorphosis as a nascent State.


That was why I described you as an “Otellectual” in one of my earlier interventions wherein I argued vigorously that you are daft, crude, uncouth, uncivilised and that given the abysmal results of your previous outings, you were not going to add any more value to the peace and prosperity of our Dear citizens apart from your usual recourse to self aggrandisement and vain glory.

Then, typical of your impulsive character, you got into a fit of unwarranted rage because of your lack of Democratic temperament and respect for dissenting views and started threatening me with all sorts. Of recent, you are also said to be seeking to misuse our Courts as instruments for the intimidation of the very people you seek to govern with the active connivance of Umeh Kalu (SAN), who many widely believe is shockingly denigrating the integrity and responsibilities associated with his high legal pedestal.

From all indications, your alleged strategy is to SHAME, BLAME AND SILENCE your predecessors and all Abia politicians and stakeholders while perfecting your vicious plans to transmute into a dictator, emperor, “ezeonyeagwalam” and quasi sole administrator surrounded by imported stooges and zombie surrogates – 95 percent of whom flew in from outside Abia.

You might have noticed that since the political accident that pushed you to power, I deliberately and quietly moved to the sidelines to give you ample opportunity to reveal your true nature to doubting Thomases.


Sadly, Mr Otti, you are unravelling too quickly!

Recent developments between 29th of May and now shows that if Abians, like myself, continue to keep quiet, you will possibly destroy whatever modest gains our dear State has made as a united entity.

Under your watch, Mr Alex Otti, in less than 60 days, Abia State has received over N20 billion from the Federation Account. Added to the over N2 billion realised from Internally Generated Revenue and the N24 billion Stamp Duty paid via Union Bank, an unprecedented total of over N45 billion has accrued to your government. YET, UPTILL NOW, YOUR GOVERNMENT IS BEREFT OF DIRECTION AND DEFINITION. All we hear daily is the SHAME and BLAME game – a deliberate, diversionary tactics ostensibly orchestrated and promoted to hoodwink, deceive and suffer our people.

During the Gubernatorial Election, you took advantage of the perennial plight of sick pensioners for your crude campaign of calumny. Today, with Billions at your beck and call, you’ve continued to play “hanky panky”, denying these our senior citizens their entitlements. Could it be that you have shortchanged these helpless senior citizens? Why couldn’t you, the self styled messiah, at least release the little money required to pay pensioners one full month arrears despite the humongous inflow instead of the paltry 1/4 of their monthly money that you grudgingly approved? The sight of the same pensioners who wore white apparels to your inauguration adorning black berets and robes to your Finance Ministry in protest of your duplicity is both interesting and instructive.

Hypocrisy and double speak is gradually becoming a cardinal principle of your administration. Out of the almost 60 days into your tenure, you have spent over 30 days outside Abia, oscillating like the pendulum between Lagos and Abuja, while the State is left desolate.

Unfortunately, you have betrayed cluelessness despite your “Beijing race” of more than eight years.

Mr Alex Otti, Sir, you sacrilegiously imported an Accountant General and handed over the sacred Treasury of Abia State to a total stranger. When Abians shouted, you quickly employed her on level 16 to boss some civil Servants who were already graduates and in the Service even while she was still a student thus destroying the morale of dedicated, hardworking Staff. Meanwhile, due process was not followed.

The callous, arbitrary and wicked suspension and or sacking of Statutory Boards, Permanent Secretaries , Heads of Parastatals and other innocent citizens on the frivolous allegation of allegiance to previous administrations is unconscionable, brutish and absolutely barbaric.

How do you justify the sudden retrenchment of over 7,000 Abia workers for no reason? While other States are employing and coming up with strategies of lighting the burden of current economic realities, you, Alex Otti, is busy sacking Abians in these perilous times.

You deceptively campaigned that Abians should WEEP NO MORE, but today, sorrow, tears and blood are the unfortunate grim companion of the thousands of families whose livelihoods have been destroyed by your wicked decision to suspend, sack and or sacrifice their bread winners on the filthy alter of political expediency.

Recently, you got all Local Government Treasurers and Heads of Service to sign an indemnity clause with banks to sweep all funds meant for respective LGAs back to designated State Accounts of your choice!

Your parochial idea is to harass everyone into silence while alleged massive fleecing and round tripping is going on.

Voters in a democracy are not supposed to be profiled and punished for freely exercising their franchise. That you, Mr Alex Otti is selectively persecuting Abians simply because these innocent citizens had one thing or the other to do with previous administrations is unprecedented, unproductive, unpalatable and unpardonable.

You appointed a Director to become the Head of the entire respectable Civil Service comprising of Permanent Secretaries. This abomination is a novelty in absurdity only found in your so called “NEW ABIA”.

Mr Otti, you will recall how you exploited the age-long dichotomy between mainstream civil Servants and staff of Parastatals during the Campaigns. You promised to abolish same on assumption of office and pay ALL WORKERS on the same day. Who would believe that after all the noise, your lackeys now preaches to Parastatals to generate their own Salaries from non existing subventions.

Today in Abia you have fought with the leaders in the whole eight markets in Abia, Civil servants, NURTW, politicians from all the parties, selected church leaders, etc. You have even extended your fight to Traditional Rulers by subjecting them to humiliating “verification”.

Haba, Mr Otti, what exactly do you think you are doing?

Abia State is tensed up like never before. By branding majority of Abians as thieves, treating them with disdain and contempt while withholding Local Government workers salaries for two months in the pretence of looking for ubiquitous ghost workers in this era of economic downturn, you are being sadistic and mean to say the least.

Let it not be that you are dumping all these monies in fixed deposit accounts for pecuniary reasons! Abia is too big to be emasculated and pocketed by one diminutive demon!

Abians want to see a Government that is sensitive and empathetic not a self righteous bigot dishing out unrealistic directives that undermine the welfare of the common man.

Mr Otti, also recall that with over two months left in the Constitutional mandate of your predecessor, you brazenly gate crashed into Port Harcourt Road with purported contractors from Julius Berger. Today, three months after that provocative show of shame, there is no sign of Julius Berger in Ohanku, Obohia and Port Harcourt Road as you had boasted.

What you did was to hurriedly rush to Aba to dictate the award of contracts for few meters of axillary roads in a face saving gimmick. The so called contracts awarded did not pass through any competitive bid or advert neither was it done with the requisite approved design from the relevant Ministry. In fact, it is widely believed that you used them to settle your ongoing Legal obligations.

Where on earth is the transparency you promised Mr. Alex Otti?

Where exactly is the place of rule of Law under your watch? You are behaving like an Emperor running an opaque Government characterised by intimidation and blackmail.

The unbelievable crisis you instigated in the Abia State House of Assembly smacks of utter disrespect for the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria which you swore to uphold especially as it concerns Separation of Powers.

Accompanied by gun welding security operatives, you invaded the hallowed Chamber of the Abia State House of Assembly in a gestapo style operation and personally supervised an abracadabra where 10 magically becomes greater than 11. The foisting of a jellyfish Speaker and all such anomalies has been allegedly drawn out as part of your subjugation script.

Instead of building consensus, you are breeding confusion. Instead of fostering unity, you are fanning the embers of war. Your divisive inclinations and the discriminatory nature of your appointments and policies are clear signals that you are not out to lovingly govern our people but to witch-hunt perceived imaginary enemies.

For clarity, kindly note that the last administration provided the financial platform for your government to thrive. The last administration left the following world bank assisted programmes :

1. $50m RAMP facility now ready and available@CBN for the immediate transformation of our rural roads.

2 $263m ADFB Loan ($115m ready for use even from today…same facility you callously fought against in your desperation for office)!

These funds are meant to provide infrastructure and help open Abia to the world. You should bring them out immediately and honestly apply them for the common good instead of chasing shadows.

Before I round up, Mr Otti, how do you explain to discerning Citizens that after criticising your predecessors, you have abandoned the three official government accommodation in Aba Lodge, Old Government House and New Government House Complex and diverted most official business to your Nvosi Country Home? Even the new official vehicles bought for Exco Members are supplied to and parked in your private residence! Where then do you derive the daring audacity and morality to pontificate for Abians when you hardly practice what you preach?

Where then is the transparency you mouthed?

I repeat, Abia is now more insecure than it has ever been since 1999.

Last weekend, you travelled to Borno in a Private Jet to attend a wedding ceremony while the whole of Umunneochi LGA was in turmoil. Kidnapping and abduction, which were reducing considerably, have spiked again since you took office on May 2h. The money you are using to junket around with private jets from Maiduguri to Sokoto allegedly in search of reprieve for your Tribunal Case is enough to make Umunneochi LGA and Abians to breath again especially in the areas of peace and security.

Mr Otti, What of the many bullet proof vehicles you bought for yourself and the N500 million monthly security votes you are said to be taking? Are these exactly your own idea of cutting the cost of Governance?

Yet you refused to pay due allowances to our House of Assembly Members while planning to buy them Innoson vehicles! Are you really not a hypocrite?

Yes, you promised to reduce the cost of governance but now you are doing exactly the opposite. Even in midst of current realities, your convoy is over 13 vehicles. This is not the Peter Obi’s model of governance which you promised.

Mr Alex Otti, Abians are angry, disappointed, despondent, depressed and dying because of your failure to live up to your own promises.

They said that you were nicknamed “Senior Wicked” during your days at Ngwa High School. Even outside Abia, some call you MMAHADUM because of your stiff wickedness.

Could this draconian appellation be a true reflection of your personae?

Abians are watching and sooner than later we will all come together to help you understand that Abia belongs to all Abians regardless of your personal feelings about any individual or group.

A word is enough for the wise.

The Good thing in all this latest development is that it will soon get to a point when people will be begging Peter Obi to come and help manage the wailing economy and lead the country to greatness...

This I have already seen.

I shall forever remain OBIDIENT.

Dream is always sweet
Dream on my bra, dream on
And when you wake up
To see your nightmare
Mr. Jagaban still on Nigeria throne
Don't forget to curtsey to him
Or you'll find yourself in jail.

Any protest not supported by the Yorubas and the Hausas/Fulanis in Nigeria is DOA.
