Ifeanyi Ubah: Am In APC to Rescue Anambra From 20 Years Political Stagnation.

By OGEMDI OZOEMENAM

The Senator representing Anambra South Senatorial District, Senator Dr Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah has said he joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) to bring meaningful development to Anambra State that has eluded the state for the past 20 years.

He regretted that the state has been politically stagnant for 20 years under the grip of the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), but now he is in APC to help connect Anambra to the centre to actualise meaningful but sustainable development to the state as the gateway to the Southeast.

Senator Ubah stated this in Awka during an event organised by APC, Anambra State Chapter to welcome him, Senator Uche Lilian Ekwunife, their supporters and other new members into the party.

He lambasted Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo for failure to conduct Local Government election after two years in power, against what he promised Ndi Anambra during the 2021 Governorship election.


According to him, it is incapacity for a leader not to provide opportunities for his teeming youths, stressing that 1youth,2skills of Soludo administration is a mere jamboree.

Also speaking, Senator Uche Ekwunife thanked the APC party faithful for accepting them into the fold and promised that she would do her best to ensure that the party gains traction in the state.

She however called on party faithful to support the drive to move the party forward in the state with the aim to galvanise the party towards truly connecting to the centre.

While welcoming the new members into APC, the State Chairman of the party, Chief Basil Ejidike expressed happiness to receive such personalities with great political pedigree into their fold and called on them to be diligent in propagating the internal harmony of the party in Anambra state.

He called for unity, commitment and discipline in the party and frowned at indiscipline, anti-party sentiments and disloyalty to party leaders in order to properly reposition APC in the state.

Chief Ejidike reiterated that the reward system in the party will be enhanced to sustain trust and therefore pleaded for federal government appointments, which he said before now, have been given to non-APC members in the state.

Fail on arrival. APC and Anambra? No way.

I was previously heavier at 90kilograms but I didn't look very big. He told me at the time that he liked it. And that he liked my body.

But recently I have lost weight. He told me I have done okay but to not gain anymore weight. But to lose more if I can. Even though I am feeling sick from lack of food. My medication is what keeps myle chubby. So I have to eat very little just to lose weight.

I said "I thought you told me you liked my fatter body?" He told me "I was just trying to be nice. I'm not a mean person. But I didn't like your old body. But this one it bust my head!" I felt really upset by this. So I asked him if he was still attracted to me back then and he said "yes" and I asked if he would leave me if I gained more weight. And he said he would never leave me if I'm skinny or fat. I asked him again why he said he didn't like my old body, and he told me he "never said that" 🙄🙄🤦 after he got super excited about my new body for another 20mins, he told me to stop bringing it up and that he needed to get some rest.

So I let it go. But part of me still feels hurt. Feels self conscious.

My husband is igbo and lives in Owerri and I am a white westerner. So maybe I am misunderstanding or the cultures are clashing here?

Which one is a white Westerner? Your husband is Igbo, what is so shameful about saying 'I am a Yoruba?' Identity crisis!!!!

CoronaVirusPro:
Bunkum and balderdash!

Did he replicate same gestures in Anambra, and what was his achievements and legacy`s?

Coming from same man who stashed money in safe havens to avoid taxes and investigation!

Anyone can scribble the gibberish he put up there.

From the way Peter talks, one would think he has some outstanding legacy`s on ground which puts him in position to make such composition, but the reverse is the case. Even the present Governor of Anambra attested to the fact that, poverty increased in the state during his administration, and here we have same Peter oinking on what's not!

It is a pity. Tribalism and bigotry has consumed condemned this one.

Alaigbo:
How do you know they are not doing beta ?
If they provide you with more photos if their work you will still wail.

I know Ogun state. I see it at least every month. So I know so what I am saying.

GoodLife4live:
stop decieving your GUILIBLE unknowledgeable self...
Do u have any better place like dis in the whole of alaigbo ?

1. I don't argue with biased people. I only meant that Southwest leaders could do better if they are held accountable by their people. Comparing the revenue they generate and the level of development in the state it is not justifiable. Ogun state alone generates more revenue that the whole of southeast and yet there is nothing to show for it. I pointed it out and all you could do was to take a picture of a particular place to argue blindly. What about other places in Ogun? Anyway your leader know your psychology and that is why they do things with impunity because you people there can always settle for crumbs. By the way I am from Anambra before you continue with your thiughtless ranting. What I am even saying? You could be part of the shameless youths that defend govt for salary. Very shameful.

plaindealer:
Ogun state alone generated more IGR than the top 3 states in the SE combined.

WOW!!!!

Yet not better than any South eastern state. Corruption and embezzlement is so predominant in Southwest because they prefer praise mongering to telling truth to power

seunmsg:
This is encouraging. Soludo is doing well. He’s the kind of leader we can support for president. A leader who appreciates the diversity of the country and understands the need to build bridges of friendship across all region.

Dreaming is good. At least 'if you can think it you can do it' is motivational enough.

This evening I took a reflection on what my wife has gone through in our small marital journey, my heart swirled up with gratitude, I felt like to call my mum and tell her thank you again.

Women are built different!

I just had a baby, I was in the labour room and boy o boy!
The female body is a work of art!

I considered the pains they go through...
My wife for instance, after marriage, sex was a huge desert to cross, it was her first time, she would cry countless times, by the time we crossed that hurdle, she took in, pregnancy came with its own shenanigans!

This thread isn't about my wife, but to all honest women out there, God bless your efforts.

First sex - Pain
Pregnant - Pain
Delivery - Pain
First Breast feeding - Intense pain
Resume sex after child birth - Pain
Wean your baby - Pain

Life for you all is like an art gallery, you all fit into many descriptions. God bless you all.

My mum & wife inclusive!

Any ideal woman is God's special work of arts. Excluding feminists.

oz4real83:
Very shameless woman . ,silence from her would have been the greatest wisdom

Wisdom and women?

Give him Credit for that.

Olodo. How is that an economic achievement for the good of common man.

Ekundayokan:
Driving experts what will be your next step?

Hmmm! You are still asking. When there is enough space around you. I was once in this type of cinerio. In my own case there was obviously no where to divert to. I stopped entirely, horning and with my distress light on. Only God the Almighty save me that day. Him alone is to be praised

The easterners love what Simon Ekpa is doing coupled with the fact that Obi lost they don't care.

You mean to its in the east because Eben ipob members I know don't speak well of him. Only those with criminal tendencies and cultists supports him.

Advice from a SIMP to fellow simps

I just correct small typo in your mention.

Jostoman:
Dey Play, It is injustice against igbo people that brought out Nnamdi Kanu and when nigeria government arrested him illegally Simon Ekpa then came out to say enough is enough.

All of you defending Simon Ekpa are sick. Even IPOB disassociated from him, Nnamdi Kanu did the same. Simon Ekpa is federal govt tools. The defence chief crying out foul is just part of the same federal govt script. My joy is that Ekpa and his sponsors, federal govt could not achieve their collective goal instead they are loosing out.

marenx:
Did Buhari's administration ignore the culture of imposition? Is Buhari's apology enough? You the dominant tribes are the issue. If Hausa/Fulani did this, Yoruba will do the same and Igbos won't be left behind.

Igbo don't have that type of mind set, they are free thinkers and freedom lovers. It is yjose who was a monarch that they will sing praise for. Those who have been enduring Emirs and Obas. They are the people who still sing praises in the face of decay just for crumbs.

UnproudLife:
So it happened that at this certain time, I was running a lucrative business that had so much cashflow., to the tune of about 2-4m monthly and I married my long-time girlfriend whom I disvirgined and had been dating for 7 years.

The moment we married and started the family journey, I tried making conversations about having a core family standard that would make harmony stand the test of time. Note that I am a man who is disciplined and goal-oriented. So first I approached my wife with a conversation on how to both make meaningful contributions in getting the family from point A to B at all times, to be more detailed, one of the conversations we had was about our finances because I also mentored her in the same business and she was raking in cash as well and was profitable.

I asked her that we make it a habit of both of us making contributions, having a certain joint account where we drop in cash from a certain amount we make sure we get paid monthly from our businesses. This was because while I was a reasonable spender who knows that if I go broke nobody got my back in the whole wide world. I'm the kinda person who when I spend, let's say for example, 200k just knows I'm worth times 30 of that but even with that I didn't have a concrete structure in business, I just spend money or do things as though my business was an extension of me, which the same was my wife's as well. And this was the reason I wanted us to make the conversation and also do things together. So I told her when we get paid monthly from our businesses we send a certain percentage of it to a joint account to run the family and if I was doing let's say 70k she should do like 30k because, with all honesty, I valued her business at if not half of mine or slightly above it was close at the time. And this was immediately we got married oh.

I was met with strong refusal, as she told me I married her and it was my duty to cater for everything, but as a patient person that I am in not making my judgement rashly I kept trying to convince her. I did till when it dawned on me that we was stern with her objection. And then this created in me a sense of deep selfishness from my wife and also note that I wasn't ever nosey about her income and even though I had a way to access her accounts to monitor Everything I wasn't interested and I was being the sole provider in the family while I watched my wife spend her money how she liked, making decisions that should involve me with her sister and calling some things to surprise me, and I don't mean it negatively.

It happened that i started a project in building a house 3years before we married which I'd credit to her sisters's advice and by the time we married we were already done with the roofing, remaining plastering and the rest. We were living at a very moderate house in town but had this project at a suburb in lagos which we all know that as a lagosian is still Lagos but only that the area would be less expensive. So at a time we were planning moving to a better apartment in town when her sister and her friend advised we pour money in completing our own place to move in. After much convincing I agreed and God blessed the most during this period in business so I had a dream house kind of finishing to the interior and we moved in.

During this time we were managing living at our business place because I was still accommodating her in my business space and we lived there and went home ones or twice in 2 weeks as it was easier with my driving. We then had a certain disagreement that made my wife without my agreement move her business and everything to that house and the area sighting her sister advicing it be done. I winked at it for peace to reign and because I wasn't a fool. Sorry without having to correct what I typed up there, this was the real account of what happened. When we had our first child she moved directly there and I went home weekends while running both businesses with me just directing her staffs and guiding them with discipline. We all know when you leave business for strangers it's OYO but all that doesn't mean I was also having access to her money, the money went to her while I managed the business.

This also was playing out while we dated and got married in how she never likes making any expenditure in even the cost of executing her jobs, and she would rather blackmail which I don't buy and because at those times I stick to mindset in business she'd rebel and take rash decision that would later backfire. So that was how she came one day and moved her everything to the area where we built saying her sister advised it.

I was a faithful man, a born again personality who ever since I gave my life to Christ about 5years to our marriage I stopped having fornication even with her or anyone and till that point in the marriage. So as she had moved, ye little things I knew in her business started diminishing while I was running the family financially. But this lady was always making me feel less than a man because she was so so not submissive even though I married her with the us being both core Christians and born again where she was even more fired up than me so we all knew submissiveness was the watchword but she wouldn't sub to it at this point and when I was home she'd make life miserable for me shouting in an area that the voice travels far, insult my life telling me that she regretted marrying me because I was a person who just wouldn't budge and I used to say I don't "think" as in the thinking that leads to depression and I guess this was why she wasn't having it. I always found ways to channel my thoughts to things positive that gets me going and even forgiving her on time while she sometimes take days to stop keeping malice.

This lady graduated to the aspect of telling me she stooped so low marrying me and I could go out and meet other ladies that she wouldn't even give a damn, and this went on for a long time. Without exaggeration, I myself was someone that in her words she feel for initially because of my looks although I was 5"7 and she like 5"6 in height which isn't that short for a man. I knew how young in thought and look I was when I start taking care of myself and dressing nice again and without a doubt an handsome man, so it got to a point I said to myself I've had enough. At this time I was already lusting at my spec in ladies out there in which I married her like but she refused to remain at. I brushed off and even while being in my early 30s I had several ladies saying I looked 23-26 in age and I started meeting ladies and having affairs with multiple through platforms and it was mind-blowing to me because they were telling me I looked better in person even though the profile pictures I had were compelling themselves. So I had several young ladies wishing we were dating for real but u didn't want that and wouldn't lie to get them laid with promises but the only lie I told was that I wasn't married neither with kids which some weren't even suspecting not to talk of asking such. But something was just not clicking with the way guys if this age behave when I relate with them and this is when we have more deeper relations and then they start sensing the nature of responsibility which makes them ask if I was married.

So at this point I said to myself, I was separated from my wife and I told her in several occasions because I wasn't going home as often as before she noticed all the changes in my looks but cared less. I was so far gone in having other ladies that I didn't even know what could ever make me wanna get back with her again. But in all these I was still a man who doesn't believe in divorce, which is what I always tell her made her misbehave. Then lemme note this. I was so far gone playing churchy Al these years I never knew the age had turned around and ladies were now so much for sale, I could remember hearing the word hookup for the first time 2 years ago when I had started contemplating cheating and I turned so many girls down on those platforms when I understood what hookup meant. I mostly kept them friends online for whining and all and I went off without meeting anyone until last year, that same last year by almost the middle of the year I had my first encounter with a lady who was almost begging I had s*X with her right in my car as the car was tinted at the back, and this was while being friends. I refused and explained I had never done it before. But a month later I started getting in the act until miraculously this year at mid year I had been longing for a change in lifestyle when I got the gift of repentance right in church and I just at this moment didn't care what my wife had ever done to me, I just forgave her in my heart, asked for forgiveness from God. Then it has been happening lately by then that she had been begging me and her sister was saying she in the person of my wife was already fed up and wanted to beg back in good terms with me but you know basking in the love of flesh I wasn't into it and knowing she was the kind that goes back to her vomit. But at this point I determined to make her come where I was and then we reconcile. But shortly after I did restitution with her and told her all I had done and what she made be go into but to my surprise she was so disappointed crying and telling me all sorts which was surprising to me because I expected this woman should have already seen the writing on the wall because I don't know how to pretend at all but she said she never suspected that she knew I was a Christian. Although I played a clean game but was was obvious was the fact that I changed in looks and all and shouldn't that be glaring. And now she only sober occasionally when the thoughts kicks in

My main problem now is that, while my first child is a copy of me, I started seeing the looks of my sister in law's last born in my last kid, which my mum has vaguely noted and I seconded. We can't even nurture the thought as we just said it. But personally each day I now stay with the kid I keep looking the semblance and thinking what if my bro in law which is my sister in law's hobby fathered this child. You see that would have out the child conception at about 3 months before I ever started having affairs outside marriage. I just wish to know what you guys think because I haven't even been able to ask any question relating to that as my wife just seem to off to ever fall into such.

Please ignore any typo as it was long and I'm trying to get by with a new course and it'll be hard to go through what I've written again. Pardon me

You make 2 to 4 million monthly, spare 150k and go for DNA test with the child under doubt. Resemblance or not is baseless.

Hello good people of Nairaland.
My fiancée to me today that her ex is requesting to meet her,and she was asking for my permission to go.
Should I grant her this request or should I be worried?

Grant her the permission. What else do you want. If them insult you now you start crying.

codedgalaxy:
Nlanders pls a quick question.
My guy straffed one "ent" yesterday.
He told me that normally the babe was sweet, but his concern now, is that during sex there were milky stuffs like "garri" coming out of her vj.
Pls what is this, is it okay?
and has anyone experiensed this before?

I think it is normal. Though I am still a virgin but I have seen that in one of the girls and she is very much healthy and now happily married.

INEC, judiciary and Tinubu are in unbeatable first position.

The difference between Nigerian Shakira and oyinbo Shakira is that oyinbo do their for due process and Nigeria does it for kick backs.

Mobsync:
Simply put, CNN just revealed that Israel is planting weapons in Al-Shifa. Mind you, CNN isn’t talking because it wants to. It’s only talking after people called out the Israeli propaganda by asking why there are more weapons at Al-Shifa when foreign journalists were allowed in than they were initially.

CNN itself is trying to be clever by claiming the weapons were “rearranged”. What’s rearranged? Just say the weapons were planted.

Up until this moment, Israel and the US government have not shown us the corpse of a single Hamas fighter killed at Al-Shifa. Neither have they shown us the photos of Hamas tunnels.

Even if they claim the Hamas fighters fled, will they also claim that the tunnels fled? Or Hamas fled with the tunnels?

Even if Hamas blew up the tunnel, the evidence will be there. Now that we have confirmed that Israel planted the weapons, let’s wait for them to show us the tunnel.

You can talk till eternity. Israel was on their own and your terrorist brother invaded them killing thousand and more people. You can cry till eternity but Israel is not Nigeria where terrorists have round table discussion with govt officials and also have presidential cover. Nigeria my foot.

Healthcube:
A newborn baby's birth weight is a topic I have always want to talk about. However I will keep it brief.

A baby's birth weight is an important indicator to health.

A child's normal weight is somewhere between 2.5 and 3.5 kg. If the weight is slightly more than 3.5 kg it is also considered to be normal. If your baby weighs less than 2.5 kg, he or she is said to have a low birth weight. This is something that can happen to premature babies.

When your baby is born ask of its birth weight. The labour ward nurse will tell you.

The weight of your baby is an important indicator to the health of your baby.

A baby below 2.5kg is a considered a low birth weight. A baby below 1.5kg is very low birth weight. Babies who weigh less than 1kg are extremely low birth weight.

My daughter weighed 3.5 kg at birth. Meanwhile an important addition to this topic is that many hospitals estimate an unborn baby's weight through abdominal scan of the mother. But no one can actually ascertain the exact weight of a baby until birth. My daughter's weight was 3.8kg before birth through scan. When she was birthed and weighed she was 3.5kg dot.

Then never get married so that you won't be tools. I dont know why some deprived women have wierd mentality.

Jibberish and incoherent talk as usual. Youth indeed. I pity the next generation to be parented by this type of thoughtless folk. May God personally train them for the sake of humanity.

TotoIsGud4boy:
The white thread serves as a form of distraction for the child’s brain.
As silly as it may sound, the distraction helps to reduce hiccups.

Children as you know are naturally curious. And placing the white thread on either their forehead or hair triggers some sensation that the child may want to know and find ways to adapt.

So the brain direct its activity or concentration towards finding out the new thing on the head. And that tricks the phrenic and vagus nerves to act towards that.
That combination of concentration and distraction cause by the white thread as noted help reset the brain to stop or reduce the number of hiccups.

So simply put our mother's were right because it works. Judging from your write up.

princeemmma:
Have you seen any parent do this when there baby have hiccup, do you think it works?

I did it on my daughter just last week and magically or coincidentally it served it's purpose almost immediately.

Just like I said before. Igbos see through your politics. Pushing any narrative you deem fit by some online miscreants for peanut. My joy is that all of us are reaping, supporters and opposition alike.
