There has been re-alignment in the stars. Okija_Juju has made rapid progress, but the truth teller, leads effortlessly.
Does that mean that truth is stronger than juju? Time will tell.

It's getting more interesting.

Sure it is. But you are not making any effort to run your campaign. Remember you need a miracle.

I still think the deadline should be moved. Many people are still not aware of this thread. Imagine that despite the thousands of Igbos on Nairaland, only about 50 have voted.

@ PointB How many of those qualities that you listed does okija_juju posses? A FAT ZERO. I don't care how many romance section people he recruits, it is your duty to Ndigbo to make sure this traitor does not make it to the polls. I don't know how u would do it, but sometimes the end justifies the means. You already disqualified him before, but being the snake he is, he slithered his way back in. Can I vote against(reject) someone, to reduce the amount of nominations they have?

9ja_I_hail:

ALLOWING OTHER TRIBES TO VOTE IS NOT BAD BUT WHAT YOU HAVE TO KNOW FOR SURE IS THAT IF OTHER TRIBES ARE ALLOWED TO VOTE BET ME FOR SURE OKIJA JUJU WILL CARRY THE DAY WHY BECAUSE OTHER TRIBES BELIEVES HE IS NOT READY TO DEFEND THE IGBOS RATHER HE IS LIKE OPPOSITION TO IGBO PEOPLE. MIND YOU THIS ELECTION SHOULD NOT BE SEE AS CHILD PLAY STUFF WE AS IGBO PEOPLE WE NEED A STRONG MIND PERSON THAT POSSESS QUALITIES AND ABILITIES TO BE OUR NEXT IKEMBA. THOUGH SO FAR OKIJA JUJ HAS CHANGED MY THOUGHT TOWARDS HIM THROUGH HIS CAMPAIGN ABILITY AND STRATEGIES BUT HIS PREVIOUS STANCE OVER THE IGBO'S HAS RUIN HIS CHANCE , AS LONG AS I AM CONFIRMED NWAFOR IGBO NO TRUE IGBO SON OR DAUGHTER THAT WILL VOTE FOR ANY CANDIDATE WHO PREVIOUSLY MOCK THEM OR MAKE THEM A LAUGHING STUFF.I ALSO WANT TO SAY THAT IF WE REALLY WANT PEOPLE TO TAKE IGBO'S SERIOUS IN THIS FORUM I WILL SUGGEST US TO BE SERIOUS AND VOTE TO SOMEONE WHO HAS IGBO'S AT HEART NOT SOMEONE WHO LOVE US JUST TO GIVE OTHER TRIBES AVENUE TO BASH US.AND OKIJA JUJU WINNING THE ELECTION MAY BRING SO MUCH NEGLECTING TO THE EZE NDIGBO IN THIS FORUM.

I AM NOT AGAINST OKIJA JUJU,THOUGH I HATE ANYBODY WHO HATE MY PEOPLE BUT HIS CAMPAIGN HAS MADE ME TO LOVE HIM AGAIN THANKS MR OLUSI OKIJA.I PERSONALLY CAN VOTE FOR YOU FOR ANY OTHER POSITION BUT NOT EZE NDIGBO NOOOOO EZE NDIGBO GOES BY MERIT

THANKS

I think it is important to clear the air on some of your misconceptions about me.

I am an Igbo man true and true.

I do not mock my people, but you do not expect me to compromise my stand and jump and dance about issues that  i feel strongly about. Go and look through the history of my posts here on Nairaland and you will see instances where I have come to the defence of the Igbo Nation. The truth is that most of the bad press I have been getting is based on my stance regarding the "Ikemba Nnewi and the civil war". I am not a fan of Col. Ojukwu (R.I.P) and I am not afraid to say it. We both could have been in that conflict, fightig on the same side, for a cause that we both believe in, but when our general abandons us on the battlefield and runs away to a foriegn country by night, leaving us to our fate, then you will understand why I am not a fan of his. I still do not support the war because I honestly feel that all diplomatic channels were not fully exploited before instigating a war. I do not stand for bloodshed especially those of my kinsmen. My grandmother lost four boys in one day, I can never forget the one and only day she spoke about that ill thought out war. I can never forget the tears streaming down her eyes. If I could go back in time and stop that conflict, I would. Now think about the pain my grandmother and many like her felt when they heard they had been desserted by their leader!! Now think about the betrayal they felt when he came back home after the pardon and saw him wining and dining with the enemies he led their sons and daughters to fight against! Now think about the spite they felt when he was crowned a hero that he didnt deserve _{(in me and many other peoples opinions atleast)}, now does this fact make me any less Igbo than you are?! Does my difference of opinion make me an anathema?! Does the fact that we disagree and have divering opinions on issues affecting our people make me an Osu?! If you think so then please do not vote for me sir, as I will never compromise my stand until I get overwhelmingly convincing evidence to the contrary.

Now other than the war, I have also been castigated for my opposition towards Gov. Rochas Okorocha and his policies in Imo state which I honestly feel are detrimental to the state.

Other than these issues I have pointed out sir, I dare you to go through my posts and find evidence that points towards my abject hatred for the Igbo race.

I hope I can make you into a believer. I will never celebrate mediocrity especially when it is being perpertuated by my kinsmen. Lets use our diverging opinions to critically analyse and find a solution the issues facing our people.

If you want a YES MAN, vote any of the other nominees, If you want an objective and logical leader, Vote Progress 2012, Vote Okija Juju^TM for Eze Ndi Igbo 2012.

I am open to entertain any questions that you may have. . . . . . . .

@ KC3000

Traitor is such a strong word. Please I dare you to support your accusations with facts. I am a no Bulls'hiter. If it walk like a duck, quacks like a duck and looks like a duck, I will never call it a crane. Please stop spreading your negative propaganda and ask your questions as I am here to answer all critics.

@ Coogar

I am very grateful for your support and it will be duly rewarded as soon as I assume the office of Eze Ndi Igbo.

WIth a comment like this, your integrity as Election comissioner leaves much to be desired and I doubt if you would be able to be fair and unbiased in the execution of our duties. 

Things you didnt know about Onlytruth . . . .

Did you know this about Eze Uche?!

I am the real Okija Juju, the great ogwugwu akpu Okija.

The fake Okija_juju is a known hater of the greatest lover and defender of Ndigbo, Dim Ojukwu.
He hates Ojukwu with the same venom and passion as dayo-kanu, Bluetooth, and other non-Igbo.
Anybody who hates Ojukwu with such venom hates Ndigbo with the same venom.
Commissioner needs to retouch the rule to ban known Ojukwu haters.
My nominees are

Obiagu1
Andre uweh

No way kind sir.
That comment is to stir up passion, and ginger the discerning  Igbos to make their choice. I remain impartial to this self-imposed responsibility. As a matter of fact, I am ready to resign if 2/3 of all the candidates insist I step aside.  

This election, though first of it kind, is not a do-or-die.  

what a waste of bandwidth .

hmmn, not really sure about this. I have a feeling that not much will be changes by the way nomination of nominations. But allowing the poll to run from Wednesday to Sunday might compensate.

PointB, I would like to inform you that the following people that nominated Okija Juju are not Igbo:

Cooger: He is not Igbo and if you check the first 2 or 3 pages of this thread where he asked the meaning of Eze Ndi Igbo before Alj_harem explained that to him. I am 100% sure he is not Igbo. I know him.

BABE: She is not Igbo too, she is Yoruba. I know her as well.

On this note, you have to withdraw their nominations for Okija juju

@OP I nominate "Onlytruth", he has those qualities in him to take us to greater heights.

Daalu!!!

They need not be Igbo (they can be friends of Igbo), and they must pass the three rules:

1. Nominations by well known ethnic champions of rival ethnic groups will be discounted.
2. Nomination by and of [b]freshly registered poster[/b]s will have to be seconded by a older poster without bias to rule 1 above.
3. Posters whose ethnicity/loyalty have been challenged  severally by well known Igbo posters will have their nomination/seconding seconded or discounted.

commissioner pointb!
since there will be 5 contestants, does the winner need to attain 50% of the votes? will there be a run-off between the 2 top vote-getters? (please dear god, no!)

*commissioner probably hasn't thought that far ahead. i can't believe i'm not in charge of this!*  

also, you sound tired and in need of a long rest. i shall be sending you a calabash of some bird's eggs. never mind what kind of bird.

At any rate, A SIMPLE MAJORITY VOTE IS FAIR ENOUGH.
So nominate wisely.



btw the way, I will appreciate that calabash, if it is of palmy. I don't drink by the way, I will use for libation.

Mr commisioner is a saboteur!!!
what exactly do you mean by they can nominate huh?

Ever seen another woman handle your mothers soup pot?or you sef na Igbo uzo?

Only Igbos nominate or you and your thread wud be thrown into recycle bin.QED.

So nld is free to impose whoever they like on us and you'd address such person as Eze ndi Igbo,May Amadioha Forbid,aru na-enweghi okpukpu.

Okija juju has got just one nomination and thats himself. . .
I can as well nomitae Eko ile.

Okija, you are a disgrace to whereever you came from and you are not from Igbo land.
You are a piece of dirt and a dirty man like you can never lead a great ppl.

@ Topic

[size=16pt]Ekele kelerem ndi Igbo nile no na Nairaland

Igbo Ekelem inyi[/size]

To be brief and sweet, I'd like to formally present myself as a candidate for the position of "Eze Ndi Igbo Nairaland". I've been observing this thread and have noticed that things may not be headed the direction in which we all want them to. I believe that the winner of this race should be the best and most sensible representative of the Igbo people worldwide. I would like to run for the title of "Eze Ndi Igbo Nairaland" for many reasons.

I am running because I take pride in my culture and would like to represent the Igbo people here on Niaraland. I ask nothing more than your nominations votes and your support and I in turn present myself as a humble ambassador for the Igbo people.


Igbo Kwenu! Kwezuo nu!

ermm,  commissioner, I nominate myself and that would boost my nominations to two,

Umunne m na umunna m,

My name is Onlytruth

Ikenga dike 1 of Anaedo (Nnewi)

Ndu di n'eziokwu 1 of Igboland

I am truly humbled by all your nominations!
Umu Igbo, you never let me down.
Nke a gosiri na uche unu nile di ya! Daalu nu!
Thank you very much.

Win or lose, I promise NEVER to change.

I also promise to give MAXIMUM support to the winner(provided he is a true Nwa afo),because following is as important as leading .

OP, you are the true star of this thread because you have demonstrated depth and true genuis in your modus operandi here.Believe me, you are a true talent and ezigbo nwa afo Igbo. Whoever wins should have you as "Prime Minister" of Ndigbo Nairaland (whether you want it or not).
Kudos!

My ideal candidate for this position should:

*NEVER compromise the interest of Ndigbo, NO MATTER WHAT.

*Be bold, fearless and tenacious.

*Should have a firm understanding of Igbo political situation in Nigeria.

*Should have a firm grasp of the history of Ndigbo in Nigeria.

*Should understand the core beliefs of Ndigbo.

*Have a NL history of commitment to Ndigbo and Eastern Nigeria (our neighborhood in Nigeria).

*Should be wise and open minded.

*Be a visioner with a strategic view of the future.

*Above all, he should be a good listener.

Here I stand.

Thank you once more.

It is well with Ndigbo!

I hope there wouldn't be any scientific rigging in the end.

I dey laugh watch o!
