NYSC › Re: Corpers To Embark On Two Weeks Warning Strike by ogawisdom(m): 4:40pm On Aug 16, 2017
dammy13:
The National Youth Service Corps members (NYSC) have issued out a warning strike starting from 1st September to 14th September, 2017.

This is to implore the Federal Government of Nigeria to keep to it promise of increasing the Corp members allowance (Allawee) from N19,800 to N49,800, starting from August 2017.

It was agreed during National Corpers Forum meeting held in Abuja, that if at the end of August, Corper’s allowance is not increased to N49,800, NYSC will embark on a two week warning strike.

During this period Corps members nationwide will adhere strictly to the following:

“ 1) That Corps members nationwide will not go near their PPA or carry out their primary assignment in any form.

2) That all CDS activities will be suspended indefinitely.

3) That Corps members will not put on their khaki or anything relating to NYSC kits.

4) That Corpers will no longer hid to the Clarion call.

Corps members nationwide are advice to adhere strictly to this information and share it across until it get to the right table.

Greenbullet:
My sister works in a medical center, and she does nothing less than 25 D & C a week , from girls usually around the age of 20-28, that is almost more than 100 abortions a month and 1,200 a year and she has been practising for 12 years and they keep coming, NOW TELL ME IF YOU WERE A MAN AND YOU WANT TO MARRY ONE OF THESE LADIES, WILL YOU TAKE THE CHANCE KNOWING THAT THEY HAVE ABORTED BEFORE, KNOWING THAT THIS CAN CREATE FUTURE COMPLICATIONS ?
Ur sister shld be killed as an illegal abortion accomplice

Abortion is illegal and a criminal offence in Nigeria. Ur sister committed d same offense morally and otherwise as d girls she is carrying the abortion on.

Back to ur question, any girl I will marry must prove her fertility by being three months pregnant b4 marriage rites commences. I can't afford a childless marriage. If I dnt see children @ least 3 in 5 yrs of marriage then d girl is a goner. Children is a top priority to me in marriage.

Politics › Re: The Dangers Of Anambra Election Boycott by ogawisdom(m): 10:53am On Aug 11, 2017
WizzPoll:
http://wizz-poll.com/2017/08/11/the-dangers-of-anambra-election-boycott/

So I have variously followed the debate championed by IPOB leaders about election boycott in Anambra come November 18th and I have struggled to see the benefits. But first before I go on to present my argument about why the people of Anambra must go to the polls I will like to weigh in on some points:

1. Referendum vs election
The key basis of the debate so far from IPOB has been that a referendum must be granted or there will be no more elections in the South East. Some even say because our elections are usually prone to rigging hence there should be no election instead they want a referendum. I just think it is important to make the point that referendum is in itself essentially an election albeit with binary choices/options, that is “IN / OUT” or “YES or NO”? The referendum will still be conducted by a nominated electoral team, the voters and the organisers will still be Nigerians or Biafrans and the process could still be subject to the same suspicions of rigging as every other election in the country.

2. Boycott will lead to violence
Now this is absolutely NOT TRUE. Boycott in the true sense of the word means people choosing on their own accord to not take part in the process as a way of protest. So I don’t see how Anambra people sitting in their homes eating their preferred dishes on election day will lead to violence. Eventhough I feel that this is a self defeating strategy it is important to call a spade a spade. There are only two ways this could lead to violence; either if the Police is planning to go House-To-House to force people to come out and vote or if IPOB is planning to flood the streets on election day to force people away from the polling boots. If IPOB or the Police are not planning to force anything on the people of Anambra then I don’t foresee any violence from boycott. It must be re-iterated that Anambra people must be allowed to make their own political choices without any intimidation or siege from either IPOB or the Police.

3. What would Ojukwu have done?
IPOB and their leaders have been brave and courageous in their peaceful pursuit for self determination. I think they will however do well to learn from history and what it teaches us. Ojukwu on his return from exile after the civil war encouraged Igbos to take part in multi-party democracy, he formed political party, took part in the political process, stood for election at both Senatorial and Presidential levels at various times. I don’t think Ojukwu did this out of naiveté that the Federal Government will be civilised enough to let the will of the people count even at Senatorial level among his own people. It seems to me that Ojukwu took part in this process anyway knowing that “suffarage” or “right to vote” is one of the oldest civil rights that Igbos can not deny themselves at this age. A people seeking freedom can not do so by taking a backward step on Freedom.
Nnamdi Kanu has even alluded to the point that Ojukwu for all his legend was lured into the political process just so they can rig him out. Once again while this is a genuine concern, encouraging voter apathy is not the solution, for it is true that fewer voter participation is a fertile ground for rigging.

4. Section 305 and State of emergency
Within Section 305 subsection 3 (c),(d), (e), (f) the language with which the constitution is written is broad enough for the Federal Government to declare a state of emergence in the event that election does not hold at all. So if hypothetically 100% of Anambra people don’t show up on November 18th to vote; chances are that what is likely to happen is declaration of a state of emergency and the Federal Government will send in Administrators who may not even be from Anambra state and this will deny Anambra people the right to be governed by a leader they choose who is also one of their own no matter how imperfect that leader might be. Now some IPOB leaders have argued that because election boycott is not explicitly mentioned in this section of the constitution then it does not apply. Sorry to bust your bubble but the potential situation will be successfully interpreted in any law court in the world that this is a situation at risk of leading to breakdown of public order and safety and hence section 305 subsection 3 applies here.

5. Voter apathy as a fertile ground for rigging
Donald Duke in that 2010 write up on how Governors rig election lectured us on the dangers of voter apathy and how low voter turnout encourages rigging. The truth is IPOB will not succeed in grounding Anambra State on that election day because some of the politicians with vested interest will definitely rally their loyalists to the polls. In effect the objective of the boycott will be defeated! what will however be the real risk is a free for all, winner takes it all rigging due to very very low voter turn out. Once again if this were to happen Anambra people would have been denied the opportunity to elect their own leader freely and this does not in any way advance any freedom cause.

Of all the above points though, I guess the most important is point number 5 because this is the most likely scenario on election day. Nigerians are naturally apathetic to voting and some of the reasons for this attitude are genuine. So to now give Nigerians a further reason to not show up on election day is even more bonus. However IPOB is going about this the wrong way, IPOB I believe will advance its views better by tapping into the emotions they are already generating to elect candidates sympathetic to the IPOB views to positions like Governors, Senators, Representatives, Local Government Chairmen, Councillors etc. This will at least allow incremental progress in the South East  towards encouraging capitalism, devolution and self reliance. For example SNP in Scotland are pursuing Scottish independence but they have MSPs and MPs in Scottish Parliament and Westminister respectively within the UK set up in the meantime. Why cant IPOB organise themselves and do same? Nigeria has failed and there is enough frustration to go round, may be referendum is the answer, but if Independence comes the South East needs a government ready in waiting. IPOB needs to join the political process, form regional leaderships and show the Igbos how they will govern. If Nnamdi Kanu becomes the Governor of Abia today nobody knows if anything will change. IPOB is asking Igbos to take a leap of faith into the UNKNOWN. I believe that if IPOB can engage in the political process, they can encourage more voter registration, encourage their loyalists to the polls on election day and this will make the regional leaders more accountable to the people. In this situation you can achieve anything. In this situation Igbos can demand restructuring or referendum not just on the streets but also at the NASS. IPOB can at least demonstrate how their policies and leadership will be better than that of PDP or APC in Nigeria. At this moment no one knows!

Anambra should go to the polls and vote on November 18th! Voter apathy will not get anyone closer to freedom!
Truck load of bullshit

Election boycott can never never be 100% at best it can record 80% success then 20% dt will vote is enough to produce a Governor so why the senseless write up.

IPOBS say no referendum no election
