Hmmm.

I recall having this conversation with my wife during the week when the case of Sen. Ike Ekweremadu came up and I was completely in an incandescent shock that this man actually has a bed ridden daughter yet has been all over the place attending political meetings for his political ambition instead of taking time out to sort out this his daughter's pressing health needs

He was all over the place during the PDP primaries, he lost the PDP gubernatorial primaries for Enugu state then started planning to decamp to APGA, then APC and was even taken to APC national Chairman by HE Uzodinma when APC stalwarts in Enugu APC,led by their state Chairman, outrightly rejected him. He is not returning to the Senate as well. Eventually, he lost on all the political fronts.

Sen. Ike Ekweremadu was all over the place so much that he did not follow through on the health and lifestyle choices of his children.

He did not follow through on what I believe is more important than his political ambition; the life of his daughter and a family at the low ebb of the apprehension of losing a child to kidney failure.

Ike Ekeremadu was so consumed by his political ambition that he had no time and seriousness to do due diligence and background check on the character they got him as a donor for his daughter , I doubt if with his PhD, he even had the time to follow through and read up to ask the right questions from the professionals, understand the risks and benefits of why it could be better for one member of his family of 6 to donate to the daughter instead of a stranger and seek help to find out if there are some of the tests which can be done on the stranger here in Nigeria before bundling a total stranger overseas.

He was so consumed by politics that when the 22-year old donor went rogue and was allegedly scheming behind him to deny his age and report Ike and family to UK police, it probably escaped his detection and intervention soon enough so he can be the first to report to UK police and then return the donor to Nigeria for him to immediately restart the process of getting alternative donor(s) for his ailing daughter whose life was more important to him.

He forgot that he was first a father and husband before becoming a Senator,Deputy Senate President and SSG.
He forgot that he will finish as a father and husband.

I compared him to Biden and I believe that he could have followed the Biden example. Then V.P Biden had a dying son in 2017 and had the opportunity to contest against Trump for the US Presidency but stepped down to support his dying son.

Biden was to sell his family house before Barack Obama intervened and offered to pay for the treatment. Biden's boy made his Dad promise him that no matter what happens, Biden must not give up his life long ambition to be US President, Biden's boy later died. Biden grieved without the guilt of abandoning his son for his political ambition.

In 2021, years after his son had passed, Biden contested and won. There are many Nigerian politicians who will do like Biden but not like Ike.

Family is so important that we even need the approval of a sick dying one before we place anything above their life

That is the lesson Ike missed and about to lose from both ends as his wife who takes care of the daughter remains in prison until July 7.

Last two weeks was Father's Day and I really truly hope that fathers used that day to reflect and understand the real responsibility of fatherhood. It is the hardest job for a man but it gives the greatest reward if you do your best at it.

As a father , I have realized that it is not possible to outsource that role of a father and not pay heavy fines.

May God heal that Ike Ekweremadu's daughter and may God help the Ike Ekweremadu in this their difficult time. I know it is a difficult place for them May God help all fathers to realise that "your child is your responsibility".

That you pay all the bills and have a devoted and responsible wife/mother of your child won't still make up for your negligence.

Your child is your responsibility and not even your ambition can replace what you will miss if you neglect your role in the life of your child.
Do not be like Senator Ike Ekeremadu who was literally chasing rats around the house when his house was on fire.

May God help us all to succeed and may our children not develop kidney failure( Amin). May our labour of love and sacrifice be rewarded in our life time and when we are long gone(Amin).

Next time, just summarise your main point

The US should focus on their country and not interfere. We would list them as countries without regards for human life since they cannot do something about gun violence. The US should face their domestic issues and not interfere. We will fight our battles and win our battles

Truthisunique2:
The only time wike would form alliance with another party is if he is on the ticket himself

So NNPP is a possibility, but na rivers people dey decide their fate not their governor

He does not need an alliance, he would just be a mediator between the two guys since he is a friend to both. I believe Wike believes that power must go to the south. While he would not leave pdp, he surely will not be active in campaigning for Atiku. I want to see the 11 million vote Atiku claims to have

yorubarere:
They will still come up with another trash. When ipob is at the forefront of your campaign, know that your chances will be rubbished cos they will leave issues and be chasing rats.

Who noticed that PDP is now running a matured campaign since Obi and his ipob left the party?

Lol, they say mature campaign, from Dubai?? PDP no fit campaign because they are not in the race, Atiku and Sowore dey same class now for 2023 election

heendrix:
I'm equally suprised Labour party would have the balls to field a candidate after their misrule in Ogun state during Gbenga Daniel's administration.

No right thinking persons should vote Labour party.

Gbenga Daniel was not in Labour party. The only person that won with Labour party as a governor was Mimiko.

mamaafrik:
We should do same too

We do not need under aged voters to win election from the south. A southerner will win 2023 election as well

Realists:
Professional misconduct !!!!, LPA. However islamaphobia will kill some people.

We all have to be scared because only one religion can carry bomb in the whole world in the name of religion. Who no get islamaphobia, at your own risk cos they can blow you up anytime. They are not normal at all

mamaafrik:
do a random statistics between our people and Abokis around and see who has more PVC
You will know better.
No be by mouth

And how many elections have the north won on their own even with their under aged voters. Buhari always had 12 million vote but how come he needed to merge with south west to win?

Splitmind:
This lawyer is disrespecting Islam and needs to be arrested.

All these people are trying to mock us for having freedom of religion, but we will resist them.


My prayer is that all women across Nigeria will wear the veil.

So we should not have our own freedom of religion? Did anyone stop you from wearing hijab in the mosque? Why did Buhari daughter not wear hijab during her graduation ceremony abroad? Nonsense

xmanco42:
The Muslim wear hijab out of love for their religion.
He wear his, for what? to spite the Muslim?.
I guess the difference is clear.
Everyone should follow their religion.

You think we do not love our religion or because we are tolerant? A public place is a public place. No one said you should not dress as you like but does a school uniform involve hijab? If everybody want to be mad, let us be mad together. We also love our religion so let us be showing how much we all love our religion.

Chuksaluta:
All of a sudden people are threatened and dampening the spirit of the youth to make change. We know that 2023 will be APC vs PDP. Let's allow the youths to express themselves, they have kept quiet for too long. Public Universities have been on strike for months and all these emergent spokesperson did nothing about it.
If the youths have decided to waste their vote in 2023 to make a statement let them be.
I forsee an election rerun if BAT, Atiku, Obi and Kwankwaso are on the ballot, as it will be extremely difficult for the big two to get 50% of the vote. That will give LP a bargaining power when supporting either APC or PDP. If LP performs well I.e get up to 4m votes, I believe it will inspire a greater movement in 2027.

There will be no re run election. Tinubu will have his majority of the vote from the west but will not win the west, Obi will have the majority of his vote from the SS and SE and will win it, Kwankwaso, Atiku and Tinubu will share the vote in the north.

The whole bull sh*t talk of the north determines election will be thrown to the dustbin after 2023. The south determines who wins election and that is just the pure fact. Mobilisation for vote this time is different than every other time, more diasporians will travel to vote this period

Romanoff:
Any one who watched the video would see it's sarcasm

I like how this gender equality thing is treating us.

If it was the husband that threw her out of the house, our men will hail him for throwing out an olosho.

But the table has turned now, see cry me the atlantic o.

Men can't really take what hey dish out.

All hail gender equality.

All hail women with money.

Mention me with insult and watch how Thunder from Sango, Amadioha and Thor will fire you and your generation.

Radarada.

Women done suffer, you get money, problem, you no get, you be liability.

Shior.

All those gods you mentioned no dey operate. Hunger don send them to comma if not naija go don better

Lama70:
Who knows. He could be the next Zelensky.

Lol. We no dey find war. We do not want the next Zelensky abeg

PrinceOfLagos:
He started well but allowed the little fame get into his head

You really believe he started well?? Let me sell you third mainland bridge. Remove setiment, analyse Sowore and you will know the guy no pure. If you put Osibanjo and Sowore, who you go pick? Me, Osibanjo sha

donphilopus:
You will not allow someone to support who he likes? Like you must force your choice on him?

He has his right but he motivated people to this bad situation so he should shut up and support who he wants not giving us useless motivation speeches

Ikemba007:
Yet only Peter Obi supporters keep talking about Jagaban.

Atiku supporters talk only about Jagaban.

Jagaban supporters talk only about Jagaban.

You will learn, too late.

Lol, you mean they are talking about Obi? Even Bashir does not go a day without making a post about Obi. The guy dey give opposition night mare

Dannyset:


Igbokwe didn't caution himself with that statement. I complained about it yesterday that such a move shouldn't be in the open.

If you want to troll people, do it with your senses especially when you are in the know.

There's a reason Tinubu didn't want to meet Wike in Nigeria but outside the country.

Truth is, whatever deal they are going to strike, Wike might not leave PDP.

Igbokwe should be cautioned going forward.

No be everything be pepper dem geng.

And you really believe Tinubu and Wike met? Come I can sell you Abuja airport

babaolofin:
I am sure you are an IBO boy. You are stubbornly disillusioned that to correct you is almost impossible. You are always on fools Paradise.

Wike knows that if APC should be allowed to present a Governorship candidate in 2019, he would not have come back for second term. Even one week to election, the APC asked their supporters to vote for a candidate from an unpopular political party, two days to election, a Court judgement voided the candidacy of that Party to make Wike indirectly the sole candidate for 2019 governorship election.

Politics is not Ariara market or Onitsha main market Union election.

You are a real oshodi politician with this analysis. Na under bridge you dey do analysis

Where is the picture? Everyone that visited Wike, there was a picture. Show picture or keep your propaganda to yourself. APC and propaganda na same size

Lol. Sowore suppose be entertainer �

smallrincowis16:
Where's did you get an these your PROPAGANDA??

I don't seems to understand you guys, Russia is loosing in Ukraine yet liberating cities Street cities, even after billions of weapons and money from NATO and EU COUNTRIES.

Ukraine is fighting with their own manpower. One would expect that Russia should have out run Ukraine by now.

God1000:
https://www.channelstv.com/2022/06/30/dont-forget-home-buhari-tells-nigerians-living-abroad/amp/

So why did they not allow Nigerians in Diaspora to vote? Because them no go fit rig that one. Lol

Why is she not wearing hijab? lol

HonNL:
SOURCE

Putin is bent on destroying Russia before destroying himself. The Ukraine war shows Russia is not really a super power and no one fears them as such again. Once them discover say all those nulear war heads are not as great as they project it, they will be boxed into a corner.

They won't even try and dear a NATO country at this point because they do not even have the resources

What people do not understand is that religion and ethnicity will not matter in 2023. What has religion given them? Banditry, killing and all. 2023 will be interesting because Tinubu supporters go delete their social media account. I hope they are doing skill aquisition or learning a new trade because this their work expire after 2023

Lol, like we care. The person he supported in Ekiti still lost. He is very irrelevant as far as persuading people to vote matters. Either he supports Tunibu or Obi doesn't matter. He only has one vote and one vote only. Obidient

mamaafrik:
did you see the map,i like obi but overconfidence is the first weak point of success.
How come the statistics doesn't favour the SE.
Wake up and cling to the reality.

Do you know the population of Easterners in the North? You are the one living in alternate world. Middle belt is going to vote massively for Peter Obi. 2023 election will be different to election before and after it

If depression no kill person for naija, e no fit kill you anywhere even in war torn Ukraine

Everyone still do not understand that political reality has changed. An Ibo man is a front runner and if you believe that the East will not vote massively for their own, you must be in a virtual world. Christians are going to massively vote for Obi. You have youth, church and labour mobilising for the same candidate. The victory will be resounding, I mean very loud victory but the west is going to see lots of blood shed because Tinubu will release touts knowing he cannot win.

CassieV:
I only know about Trier and it is a beautiful little city but is a bit expensive because of its proximity to Luxembourg. Alot of people that work in Luxembourg live in Trier, so things are mostly expensive because of them. However, it is not outrageously expensive for students.

What city is the cheapest

TheresaMarii:
Hello House,
Please has anyone tried applying for US tourist visa from Germany? I am a second semester student in Germany (masters) and I would like to visit my aunt in the US by the end of the year?
What do you guys advice? What are the chances as a third country national applicant in Germany?
Thank you!

There are many factors to consider but your chances are higher than applying from Nigeria.

First, it depends on how many months left on your permit, and the stage of your study. Talking from experience applying twice from France.

Everyone has freedom. If the court does not understand that public space requires equal rule for all. People should also start carrying big cross and marked eyes to school.
