Saying it on social media is one thing and doing it in real life is another. If all members of the family are on one side and only your husband is on the other side then the problem is from you and Peter

You know the problem and can assist to solve if you so wish

Their is anger, poverty and bitterness in the land. Many jobless people in this lagos

essenjack:
If Ikpaezu like, he should join Jesus Christ party, he'll still remain a very useless Governor

Oga parties are not living things and can't fail rather candidates fail.

BlackfireX:
He is from Okija in ihiala LGA... Point of correction

He is from uli, nestoil and dozzy oil are the ones from uli.

QuotaSystem:
I thought I was the only one that noticed that the OP was trying hard to hide the fact that this Refinery in Imo is owned & founded by Northerners, just like Dangote's refinery, the biggest single-train mega-refinery in the world.

Arewa developers amaka!

Walter Smith refinery is not owned by a northerner though I don't know about this one.

ogbuefi677:
Imo state has d largest onshore gas reserve in the country

Anambra have more than enough too.

What could have led to this

flyingpig:
Ebonyi can never win PDP governorship if he defects. At best PDP will win about 6 or 7 state house of assembly positions. One or two house of Reps but that will be all. Ebonyi politics is always heavily influenced by the sitting governor.

Who made umahi governor, it was anyim and not elechi his predecessor, I don't think you know the state and its politics well.

Wickedfact:
Hope he has moustache?

The only thing Anambra people look for before electing their Governors is moustache.

Peter Obi doesn't have it

tesppidd:
So you believe that there is any governor/ex governor in this country who did not loot state funds?

Siddon there make pant dey wear you, mugu.

Don't go and make money. Continue looking for who to blame for your misfortune.

tesppidd:
Someone that is richer than Kwara state; you miss him

Na the youths be this ooh. Na them say them wan take over power be this ooh.

When did it become a crime to be rich

helinues:
Lazy governor's.

Why not tapped from your own other natural resources?

So crude oil is artificial resources

For us in three and half decking ifite awka, na transformer always.

Buhari is only good in borrowing with nothing commensurate to show for it.

After defecting from APGA to PDP and to APC, oga speaker welcome to the floor

bakol:
You have succeeded in saying nothing.

You can say your own.

Onepeople:
your point would have made more sense if ex governor's made judicious use of resources during their Tenure, don't tell me about USA and how they are handling their past leaders, because the style of governance is not the same.

If they abused their office they should be prosecuted, its a different thing all together.

ezebunafo:
coupled with the amount and properties they amassed or looted during their tenures,I bet you that only will keep them going till the end of their lives

If anyone is guilty of looting then he should be tried and convicted. Making a law because of your fallacy is wrong.

modath:
Politics of bitterness & anger is why you typed what you did... Lagos just gives una headache... your opinion is predicated on making a mockery of this cos states like Delta refused to....A state with 5-6 ex govs, Dep, speakers on payroll after not serving for years... May God epp una minds..

In saner climes (that you lots keep referring to) political office holders go back to their jobs/ businesses when their terms are over... Bush, Clinton, Obama etc just enjoy Secret Service protection not the state still buying them groceries.....

You are the one who is bitter and trying to transfer your aggression, I only said they should be paid but moderately.

joey150:
Civil servants that work way longer, earn way less while on the job and even collect way lesser as pension compared to ex governors.

A nation that has recently been labelled the "poverty capital of the world" has no business, absolutely no business paying Ex-governors that served for a maximum of 8 years humongous pensions.

Giving them something modest as I listed above is not too much.

wizzie001:
What then happens to those who stole 999million naira? A thief is a thief my brother, justice ought to be served accordingly!!!

Such person can serve twenty years

I will devolve powers and make state governors are held accountable.
No more federal roads fg should manage only the rails
Financial autonomy for universities and a good graduate data base.
States can generate power.
Institutional and electoral reforms to permit for electronic voting and online voting too
Turning civil defence to state police even if they will be paid by fg.
Corruption tribunal that dispose cases in 6 months.
Death sentence for anyone who loots more than a billion naira.
Making sure all agencies of government publish every amount they earn and how much they earn every quarter.
Deregulation of petroleum down stream and outright sale of nnpc assets and liabilities.

If you ask me this is just a populist agenda.
Paying an ex governor around 500 k monthly with a five bedroom house, a car every 8 years and taking care of his medical bills won't make a state go bankrupt.
While I disagree with the amount ex lagos governors earn, it's not wasteful to take care of our ex governors.

Many are quoting me claiming super intelligent or very concerned and they were all here when a man scammed them in 2015 by claiming he will make 1#=1$ and making populist promises.

If they are are cultists then it serves them right.

The defection is taking too long, please umahi be fast so you can become the APC Presidential candidate after defeating other frontliners in your new party apc.

Nothing will happen to her, she is in APC and is therefore protected.
Even pondei, lai mohammed, akpabio can go free then nothing will happen to her.

That's how we roll in Nigeria apc supporters will soon tell you that GEJ or PEJ stole all Nigerias money and their brain inclusive.
Next thing is to borrow more money.

WoeBetide666:
How about the water part? Whose fault is that?

Which water

Disaster waiting to happen

Moferere:
Check for yourself and revert.

It's an assignment for you.

The challenge Abia is having is similar to challenges most States are having.
Bad roads which are mostly federal roads, poor electricity which is not controlled by the state government though there is geometrics in ugwunagbo.

Moferere:
Irrespective of how you look at it, whether by ratio or numbers, Igbo are not getting it right.

They voted along a single line and majority of their people refused to vote.
Yoruba spread their votes.
If Atiku had won, Yoruba would have stood a better chance to demand for better positions than igbos

What is the voter turn out % in se compared to other regions
