As a radical Yoruba hater on nairaland am willing to let it all go for a united strong south ,
we south east south west we are one and can achieve a lot together if we politically unite against the north

The unity should start right here on nairaland my Yoruba friends what do you say about this,?


Are we ready to unite against our common enemy ?


My friend ebenezar2020 from Ibadan what sayeth thee?

maynation:
I have nothing against the Igbos but please we are better off without each other.

Ezewuzie01:
The majority of those who think like you don't live in Anambra state. We saw proof of that in 2017. Soludo and APGA are the choice of the masses.

Marcelo290:
Forget the title 'Prof' and other academic qualifications, the issue of governance is more complex and goes beyond this. Leave all this your propaganda. The two professors that are Governors and deputy in Cross River state, what have they achieved? Making him in charge of a vague 50 years development plan is just an orchestrated plan by Obiano for him to take over from him. And if I'm asked, Obiano didn't meet the expectations of Anambarians.

I remember when we visited this Soludo of a man in his home then. The man demanded we pay him before he would come for a lecture we invited him for. He refused any photograph with us and unceremoniously ushered us out whilst collecting the portrait we brought for him. That was a gurusome behavior from him and that sinister experience, shaped my perception about him.

Yorubaskullmine:
Soludo is a criminal who cannot be entrusted with power.

Anambralstson:
I don't know why Ifeanyi Ubah supporters always display arrogant like their Oga, your Oga is battling with lots of issues, go and mark it on the wall that Prof Soludo is your next governor after Gov Obiano.

Emmanuelhector:
Patrick Ifeanyi Uba gat our votes

Anambralstson:
Next Governor of Anambra State

Anambralstson:
[s]By James Eze
If you are from Anambra State, there’s probably no better time to be proud of your roots than now. Well…don’t get me wrong. There has never been a lack of reason to be proud of Anambra State, but this time, with Professor Chukwuma Soludo presiding over a historic committee that has been charged with the task of envisioning a great future for the state; there is yet one more reason to be proud of Anambra State. Now, you understand where I am coming from.

Truth be told; whatever impulse that nudged Governor Willie Obiano to set up a 50-Year Development Plan Committee and appoint Chukwuma Soludo to head it couldn’t have been anything but divine. With this development, it may be safe to say that after a few years of getting its political leadership right, Anambra is finally be ready to step into its manifest destiny.

Again, don’t get me wrong. Anambra is great already. Innoson. Chicason. Coscharis and the whole of Nnewi dream-makers are enough to make any state great. But with a clearly defined roadmap and clearer timelines to guide her steps into tomorrow, Anambra State may eventually be standing up to be counted as a model state in Nigeria in major indices of development and not just as a state that has produced the highest number of billionaires. And just in case we wish to face it, we must admit that Anambra needs a development plan. It needs an iron clad fence around its myriad of dreams sprouting in all corners of the state. No great society waits for change to happen to it. No. They usually get up to determine how it happens, where it happens and when it happens. A realistic development model that takes cognizance of the flora and fauna, the human capital, the distribution of natural resources as well as the colour of the dreams of ordinary people is an absolute imperative. And who is better qualified to lead this effort than Chukwuma Soludo?

Indeed, 60-year old Soludo is almost God-sent to lead Anambra’s 50-year Development Plan Committee. I doubt that there is anyone more capable of providing the ingenuity that Anambra desperately needs to teach Nigeria how to design a realistic and timeless development plan. Chukwuma Soludo is one African who will not blink in an eyeballing contest with any other human being from any part of the world in his field of knowledge. His visionary leadership of Nigeria’s banking sector has been a favourite of financial historians for years and will continue to be for years to come. Yet, it might help to recall that when he announced the banking reform that changed Nigeria, many people did not believe him in much the same way that some people have thumbed their noses at him on Anambra’s 50-year development plan. But anybody who doubts Soludo’s capacity to deliver a farsighted and sustainable development plan for Anambra does so in pardonable ignorance. As a renowned professor of economics and member of the International Advisory Group of the British Department for International Development, Soludo’s genius has been acknowledged worldwide. He is vastly experienced from his years of working as a consultant to The World Bank, the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, the United Nations Development Programme and also years of teaching in many prestigious universities around the world including Cambridge, Oxford, University of Warwick, Swarthmore College and the University of Nigeria among many others. Who else has this profile on the scene, please?

Indeed, since he blazed into national consciousness in 2003, Chukwuma Soludo’s star has continued to shine like the Orion; not the vaguest hint of obscurity. In fact, just the other day, he was named among the 8-member Economic Advisory Council that works directly with the Nigerian President on the economy.

Now, if someone like Soludo does not inspire confidence as the leader of any development planning committee, it would be difficult to find anyone else who will. And that is why all eyes are on Chukwuma Soludo. Everyone knows that this is one assignment that Soludo must deliver hundred percent. Prof Soludo knows too. And if morning shows the day, the rigour that he pressed into the first meeting of the committee, moments after it was inaugurated at the Governor’s Lodge in Amawbia shows that Prof Chukwuma Charles Soludo is in absolute self-possession and has indeed welcomed his new challenge with both arms.

And now, all eyes are on him[/s].

To my Ipob friends,
To let us know that you are serious, first when allocation come to your state, reject it because you have no business with Nigeria. Do not collect allocation from Nigeria and keep shouting we are not Nigerians, it is a zoo, bla bla
Insults are welcomed

Cyberterror:
Are you enjoying the darkness EEDC has plunged the South East into? EEDC is the worst disco in the country. Shame on them.

giftedben:
EEDC is fraudulent and I have complained about their activities many times . Emeka Offor is a 419ner, a thief and the highest criminal we have down here in the South-East. The man is so dishonest in any business he owns. We buy transformer, poles and high tension wires with our money and we still do not have light.

bonnyhope:
You are so unpatriotic
Y not west Africa or Nigeria

IgbofromDelta:
I would post on this thread the rich history of some Igbo communities in delta north zone also known as Anioma people, detailing their origin and migration to Anioma land in Delta State.

One clear thing is that majority of the Igbo speaking people from today's Delta State also known as Anioma are Igbos in origin while few are migrants from Benin and Igala that was assimilated by the many already existing and dominant Igbo communities in Anioma.

ChinenyeN:
There can be a political forum without the mandatory requirement of a single umbrella ethnic nationality. Each Igbo group is technically an ethnic nationality of its own, if we are to be honest. Some just so happen to be only as large as a single town, others span over a plethora of towns. It doesn't change their ethnic sentiments. If Igbo people can simply acknowledge this and move forward, it can actually get things done, without wasting time over "Igbo bu Igbo" and "Igbo Bu Otu" before making any real initiatives.

Blackking98:
abia state people more related to ibibio than Annang? The way you people peddle lies is outstanding even Satan would be afraid. Please educate me on how abia state is more related to my tribe than Annang. I hope we have Annang people on this forum let them come and see what I'm seeing. Now
English-child ,ibibio-ayen, Annang- ajen
English-someone, ibibio-awo, Annang-agwo.
English- it's ok, ibibio- ado ok, Annang- ade ok.
English- God, IBIBIO- Abasi, Annang- Abasi
English - Church, ibibio-ufok Abasi, Annang- ulok Abasi.


Now give me the ABIA translation of those words I mentioned in English and let this entire forum see between the Annang and Abia which is closer to ibibio. Even Satan will be afraid of u rn I swear

catoluy:
OP is a yoruba man; just opened this account to deceive gullible Ibibio and Annag people. In his divisive afonja mind, he thinks Akwa-Cross are one or closer. Only if he knows that Abia state and people are more related to Ibibio than Annang.

Blackking98:
Ekpeyong Okon Bassey
Now u can u tell me if the above now tell me if the above name is ibibio,Annang,Efik, Oro or eket. I doubt you're from Akwa Ibom because the difference between us and our Efik brothers is like the difference between imo igbo and anambra Igbo or ekiti Yoruba and Oyo yoruba. There is no difference as we all hear each other with ibibio being the central language everyone can understand, an outsider can never differentiate between and ibibio and Oro man or an Annang and Efik man. I'm an ibibio man but I've lived all my life in calabar, other ethnic groups see as as the same people. It's really annoying when I see fellows like u preaching division among us when we need to present a United front to survive in this British contraption called Nigeria. Please be guided and stop preaching division and hate where there is none. We answer the same names, eat the same food, speak the same language with very little variations across the tribes and we have the same culture with little variations too. Stop this division thing, it won't do anyone good going forward

SangoOlukosoOba:
Let me agree that Ugwuanyi should be beaten.


It means Obiano and Ikpeazu should be killed, dissolved with acid and buried with reinforced concrete.

Do you agree?

oluminde:
Yes, the VP has a duty and will continue to answer to the clarion calls of the peace-loving citizens of the country. He's a well-cultured man with untainted records of service to Nigeria.

oluminde:
Allegations you say? No amount of fake or fabricated stories can divert the enormous responsibilities at the doorstep of the VP.You guys are just scared and afraid of the growing profile of the VP. A Clear conscience has nothing to fear, bring it on the VP has a mandate and he shall continue to work for the collective interest of Nigerians irrespective of the tribes or faiths.

oluminde:
You can not break somebody that derived strength from God. Keep dreaming lad. My advice to you is to join the wagon before is too late. This is a winning team destined to make Nigeria great and respect in the comity of Nations. Pro, Yemi osinbajo is an Upright man, therefore, clean up your dirty mind.

ojokolax:
Did you miss out on a slot when your folks were running the show during Goodlucks tenure?
It's only normal to employ people you trust to do the job succinctly

So calm down ko de farabale...
