TewMuch:

I ignored you ofenmanu, omo ibo aje okuta ma momi for a reason.Your statement was dumb. your screen name should be palm oil rock hard eba.

You Yoruba should answer my question. You claimed that Yeruba people are more successful that Igbos,and thats why I need an explanation.

What are the so called Yeruba success? Is it OBJ presidency or Awolowo's suicidal death?

TewMuch:

Not that I care about being called Yeruba. But just to irk some few I will also resort to calling you guys IBO.All am saying is that some people think they want to get at Yoruba's because they don't want IBB.Serious flaw.No one wants IBB, and Yoruba's never wanted OBJ. He also happens to be the one that did the best for Ibo's suprisingly.Yoruba's will always vote for whoever has the interest of the state at heart and promises the best.E.g, Mimiko from the LP.If a PDP man comes that has a track record, whether Ibo,Yoruba or Hausa, Yoruba will vote him in.We never do crowd mentality, that is an Ibo trait.

Answer my question and stop blathering away your energy: What are the so called Yeruba success? Is it OBJ presidency or Awolowo's suicidal death?

TewMuch:

Fear? I wish you guys will even support him.Serious yawa. Deal with Yoruba's? Big fail.[b]You guys have never succeeded and never will.[/b]By the way, IBB's middle name is Badamasi? Hmm. Sounds like Gbadamosi to me. Someone adjusted his name to fit into the northern crowd. Keep deceiving yourselves.That is why Igbo's are a major tribe but are no where, cos u guys can't see beyond your backside holes.IBB will never amount to anything.Nd never did I say vote Jonathan.You are so intent on seeing Yoruba's come to your level.Not in a 1000 years.cos we have our own voice.We spearheaded fairness for jonathan's presidency as is required by the rule of law in all fairness. Leading up to where we are of having capable presidential candidates for the presidency.May the best man win, make sure history is on your side.cos no one will teach Igbo's before they move to cameroon or hide their identity if IBB wins.No one fears IBB. I pity you.hahahaha

Please can you explain to us where you lazy fools have succeded without the Igbos not having double of such success under their belt. . . .  

And do not tell me that the so called Yeruba success was that OBJ was once a president;no other answer will sound dumber .

You want him to commit abomination

Onlytruth:

For us to support Jonathan, he must be worth it.

[size=14pt]Is he worth it?[/size]

He doesnt worth it!! . . , .

You are right man!!

PapaBrowne:

The figures are near accurate, except for maybe Anambra. I would expect Anambra to perform better, however I think there are genuine reasons why Anambra would underperform in terms of GDP figures despite having so much commerce.

One of the best ways to assess the GDP of a city or state is to count the number of bank branches in the area. Banks follow the money. The higher the GDP of a state, the higher the number of bank branches available in the state.
Anambra state has a very high number of bank branches, beaten only by Lagos, Edo,Delta and Rivers. Kano state on the other hand has very few bank branches. Asides these two states, the GDP figures are near perfect if you correlate them with banking activity accross the country.

Another correlating factor to GDP performance is internet penetration. States with higher GDP figures tend to have higher internet penetration. You can check the states telecom companies launch their premium internet services and you would see that it falls in line with the GDP figures available.

@onlytruth
Anambra state's low GDP figure could easily be attributable to the fact that most of its wealthy citizens engage in commerce outside the state and not within the state. Onlytruth mentioned the guy from Capital Oil. Truth is he probably has no investments in Anambra state besides maybe his house in his village. Its just like Dangote. Dangote contributes heavily to the GDP figures in Lagos, Cross River, Kogi and a couple other states, but very very little to his home state of Kano. My point is that, the fact that a state has very wealthy indigenes doesn't necessarily translate into better economic credentials.

The agency that prepared this data got it wrong in all aspect of judgement. A state like Anambra can not be outside the first ten bracket if the those that prepared this data considered the enormity of commercial activities going on in the state.
My best guess is that the data reflects states that have more civil servants/government employees, and not the actual GDP figure.

MOBBO, I am an ardent fan of your fictions . . . . . .Please I need more of them.

You always make my day in this Romance Section.

@poster,
you are just one insatiable bbitch. No wonder you are 38 and single. Now a dude wants to "pity" your old cobweb infested ppussy and you still come here on NL to say you are considering quitting the relationship?Whether the guy is doing it to just make some bucks from you or any other reason,why not just go ahead or don't you need "it" right now.But as insatiable as you are,you may still throw this opportunity away.

These are pretty caustic replies . . . . . Bros, make una chill!!!

Another set of GEJ's camp talking nonsense!!

The truth remains that Jonathan will not win in the South East. Imagine, People who are not even known in their respective wards speaking on behalf of Ndigbo.

Paul the Octopus has informed me that IBB will definitely win the 2011 presidential election. . . . . . Infantile propagandas won't be a bulwark against his upcoming victory at the polls.

The person who said that Jonathan would sweep the SouthEast in the presidential election is really out of touch with the reality.
IBB has more chance of winning majority of South East votes than Jonathan.

I did not see anything wrong with the group picture. What I saw is a savyy politician who knows his onions.

The problem bedevilling Onitsha is the same in all the major commercial cities in Nigeria . . .  Traders rarely pay tax!! In a country where citizens do not deem it fit to pay taxes, only God knows how they expect burgeoning developments.

Most of the revenue generated in Anambra state comes from motor parks and civil servants. The multi-millionaire traders, which are aplenty in Anambra state, rarely pay taxes because it is difficult for the government to asses their worth. Even if they are to pay at all, they would pay the amount which an okada man pays.

IBB will surely be president come 2011 . . . . .

I have been saying it that the so called Igbo Summit held yesterday was a charade arranged by GEJ's camp. . . . . Imagine, a discredited politician like Iwuanyanwu speaking on behalf of Ndigbo

Onlytruth:

Ojukwu is my political father. No apologies about that. In my book, he is the one Igbo man that I can trust to take a position that would protect me. If I have not learned to know my leader, there is no way I can ever lead anybody.
Ndigbo say" Onye fee eze, eze eru ya" We are cannot all be leaders at the same time.

I will not try to convince you on this. We are Ndigbo, remember? You are entitled to your views, and I, mine.

I really enjoy how you bare it all on issues that matter.

Some young folks nowadays always pretend to know all whereas they know zilch.

The ambiguous signals emanating from GEJ on issues concerning his presidential ambition do not augur well with the delicate Nigeria polity. He should make up his mind and tell Nigerians whether he is running or not.
I cant believe that the presidential election proper is around the corner and some potential contestants are still dillydallying.

Onlytruth:

And I supported that endorsement then. Politics is a fluid game. Stand one place and get killed. I learned that from Obafemi Awolowo.

You cannot be a good leader if you cannot be a good follower.

And by the way, Ojukwu is NOT "some unscrupulous fella". Take correction.

I was about to give him the same correction.

Sharon_f:

Good evening Sir, please can you address the following topic:

What do you mean by sponsoring a programme? . . . .  . .  Any  candidate who is not promoting his campaign so as to endear himself to the electorate is just hoping to rig the election. And I think IBB is on the right track.

It is now obvious that IBB is running the best presidential campaign so far.

The so called Igbo leaders meeting was a blatant joke. It was really an insult to the intelligence of everyday Igbos who are pretty much aware the this gathering of some old discredited Igbo politicians like Iwuanyawu was a meeting of GEJ PDP Camp members. Non of these fake Igbo politicians that attended the meeting can garner a winning vote in their respective wards. The fact remains that majority of Igbos, not the diasporean internet worriors, will not vote for an Ijaw man in the person of Goodluck Jonathan whose godfathers are E. Clark and OBJ, even if he changes his middle name to Ebere Azikiwe.

It is also noteworthy to write that the only Igbo man who can garner votes for anybody is Odumegwu Ojukwu. He is the true Igbo leader and his support is the one that matters most ; hence, any Igbo meeting without Ojukwu is a mere charade and futile exercise.

Also, can someone post the full roster of the so called Igbo leaders that attended the meeting. How can a summit that was not attended by the creme de la creme of Igbo politics be taken serious.

Also there is nothing like Greater South-East in Nigeria’s political lexicon, when it comes to resource control, Ijaw man only knows about himself and his kins; thats the time they will spell it out that they do not need the Igbos.

If there is no serious Igbo man contesting for the 2011 presidential election, then majority of Igbos will probably vote for a candidate that has an Igbo man as a running mate.

IBB will surely win the 2011 presidential election . . . . . He has already rolled out a savyy campaign strategy.

na_so:

Story, story , storyyyyyyy.

I never see political mumu like ATIKU before. A man that had not perfected his re-entry into a party starts making move to scuttle the chances of the incumbent who is the leader of the party. Besides he has enough battles to fight with nyako in his state.

A smart politician would have perfected all the papers before making his intentions known. I somehow see this as another OBJ scheme to nail Atiku's coffin. Disdained in AC , rejected in PDP . Foolish man

Atiku is a shrewd politician that knows his onions;as he said earlier, he doesn't need OBJ's boy, Nyako , to endorse his return to the party , which he was a founding member.

It is also noteworthy to state  that Atiku had been formally re-admitted into the party by the PDP chairman, whom also is a returnee. Hence, it is quite obvious that the PDP is now playing  hanky panky  by not granting Atiku his own waiver immediately.
Atiku is used to swimming in this type of river, and he knows that he will surely participate in the PDP presidential primary. For Sure!!!

bk.babe97y:

Hheheheheehehe, "Ikemba"!lol. Wut a title! Lol. Anyhoo, your "Ikemba" dude already promised Ibo votes to Gen.Babagidah. . . . how many people are u expecting him to endorse for president?

Please we do not need the words of a Hispanic bastar.d LovePeddler on this thread.

If it's Yoruba custom for a woman to kneel in her wedding gown to feed the husband a piece of cake,then let her kneel,it's just a few seconds anyway.
Why would you want to offend the elders around and perhaps start on the wrong footing with your new mother in law because of a simple harmless traditional gesture?
Is it worth it?
Igbo women kneel at the traditional wedding to offer the cup of wine to the husband
I did it
Every Igbo woman I know did it
It doesn't take a thing away
It is part of the traditional ceremony and that's about it.
The was the first and last time I knelt before him in public,the rest of the kneeling is done privately and I'm not complaining about that

Your post reassured me that there are still some reasonable women out there. . . . . Adaigbo o ga adiri gi mma!!!

Almost two pages, and Babapupa is yet to be found!

Atiku deserves the waiver rightaway whether GEJ camp likes it or not. . . .If they were able to give the current PDP chairman a waiver with alacrity, so do they have to treat Atiku. Afterall, the PDP chairman, who is suffering from dysentry of the mouth, is also a PDP returnee who decamped with Atiku at the same time.

Joke of the century!!
They called it an all Igbo Summit, but who and who attended the meeting. . .They should have called it Jonathan's PDP block meeting
