Politics › Re: State Creation In South East: Aba State by Ojiofor: 2:51pm On Sep 30, 2024
JuicyEarth:
Sorry for my earlier tantrums. You replied as it should be but your earlier submissions were more clannish than the accused.

Let me delve into the politics of Abia as someone who grew up in the state and in the known. Abia state is typically divided into two divisions: The Aba Ngwa and Old Bende axis.

Now let us go into the power play since the creation of Abia. The first civilian governor of Abia till the later;
* Ogbonnaya Onu - Old Bende region
* Orji Uzor Kalu - Old Bende region (Abia North)
* T.A Orji - Old Bende region (Abia Central)
* Okezie Ikpeazu - Aba Ngwa region (Abia South)
* Oti Chioma - ancestry is from Old Bende region but choose to live among Ngwas in Abia Central.

Worthy of note is that Abia central is made up of both old Bende and Ngwa extractions and in this mixture...the Old Bende have taken their slot.

In all sincerity, what is wrong if Okezie Ikpeazu chooses to return the governorship slot to Abia central wherein the Ngwa extraction take it so as to be duly represented?

From the above presentation where did the Ngwa people became greed and clannish?

Who are those more represented in the State since its creation wherein old Bende have produced 3 governors, Otti making it 4 while Ngwas have produced 1 governor?

Is Nigeria rulership wherein the North with nothing to contribute to this entity wants to take it all and still the less developed not typically displayed in Abia State?

Let the sane minds judge your reply.

Ps: Each time I look at Abia State, I see Nigeria in full display.
Let us concentrate on politics of Abia and leave tantrums for now.
We are nolonger living in colonial times when Igboland was divided in old Bende and Aba divisions....We are in the fourth republic where senatorial zones have constitutionally replace the old order.So old Bende and Aba division is nolonger in existence.

In 1999 Abia elders had a gentleman's agreement for sake of equity and justice to rotate power among the 3 senatorial zones so called Aba division was part of that agreement only to selfishly change the rules of the game in the middle of a match in the name of old Bende and Aba division that is being clannish.
Aba and Umuahia was a colonial creation and we in Abia North see the two cities as a collective heritage of nde Abia state and we have contributed a lot to its development.

JuicyEarth:
You speak like one that is daft.

I have been reading through other people's contributions and found out your are a man full of prejuice. Juxtapose your shameless comments about a tribe in Igboland with how other ethnicity percieves Igbo's. You want Biafra, see your mouth full of venoms against a tribe of your own. Same way you don't want an Aba state, Biafra will continue to suffer sabotage. With people of your mentality, I won't be suprise, if tomorrow an Ngwa person states that they are not Igbo's like an average Onitsha man will call you (Nwa ndi Igbo). Moreover, most Ngwas that I have encountered claim ancestry to Omuma people in Rivers State and of Akwa-ibom extraction.

When they speak of Igbos that are draft, insulting and bags of evil, with your speech pattern one can deduce that people from your side of Igbo are powerful delegates and representatives.

State your fear clearly, that what makes Abia a revenue generating state is predominately from Ngwa extraction; if the should leave Old Bende will be a carcass of lost glory. I am in the state and involved in high level matters, so I know what I am saying.

Men like you needs to be guage.

PS: Both late VC and Okey is good - The persons OVi who is from Abia South presented as Governorship candidates is not of the same senatorial zones or Local Government with him rather both are from Abia Central and Isialangwa axis.
You started with insult and ended up writing an epistle to counter someone you consider as daft.
We all know how clannish Ngwa can be given any opportunity we will have another Ikwerre in Igboland to deal with just as you asserted.
Why should another Ngwa man replace another as governor in disregard to our culture of power rotation between Abia North,Abia Central and Abia South.After Ikpeazu's tenure power supposed to return to Abia North not Abia central.You guys think you are wise!
Aba state is not feasible in the nearest future as Nigeria is currently structured.Even if they want to create two more states from SE Aba state will not be among.If you create Aba state 9 LGAs will be gone with it,what will be left of Abia state?
As for Biafra I am not agitating neither I am expecting it will be actualized in the nearest future because realistically speaking,like Aba state it is not possible.

Afikpo and Abakaliki have always had commonality.

Both Afikpo and Abakaliki were part of Ogoja province with capital in Abakaliki (Ogoja, Afikpo, Abakaliki, Abam, Ugep, Obudu, etc), Afikpo and Abakaliki are the Igbo traditions observing parts so were thus reunited after they were separated into Imo and Anambra states because history had it that Afikpo migrated from Aro and Abakaliki progenitor (Ekumenyi) also migrated from Aro.

So Afikpo and Abakaliki commonality is Aro ancestry.
No Afikpo was part and parcel of Old Bende division both politically and culturally while Abakaliki is politically and culturally aligned with wawa Enugu people.

Politics › Re: Why did Ojukwu issue war bonds in the name of Eastern Nigeria and not Biafra? by Ojiofor: 11:38am On Sep 30, 2024
KwaraRat:
You can check the CIA declassified files on the Biafran war.

Ojukwu's mercenaries and arms suppliers were abandoning Biafra and ending supplies after they found out the bonds they had been issued beared the CBN seal and had Eastern Nigeria as the final debt redeemer.

Even a Jewish PR Czar will later find out that the $1 million bond issued by Biafran govt was worthless as it beared the seal of the CBN and had the defunct Eastern Nigeria as its final debtor.
Post the evidence here you do not expect your readers to start making research over your post.

KwaraRat:
In the hay days of Biafra, Ojukwu issued fraudulent bonds that had Nigeria's Central Bank seal and high placing officials signatory to it.

The bonds issued by Ojukwu to mostly arms and weapon dealers and also mercenaries had Eastern Nigeria as the final redeemer of the bonds.

Now why will Ojukwu issue fake bonds that are redeemable by the defunct Eastern Nigeria while he was HoS of Biafra ?

Could this just be a fraud in the making to absolve Biafra of any future obligations to redeem their debt or was there actually a reason why Ojukwu as HoS of the breakaway Biafra will issue debts in the name of Eastern Nigeria guarranteed by the Central Bank of Nigeria?

I believe that Ojukwu was not and never interested in Biafra.

As Awolowo was once quoted that Ojukwu was more interested in "conquest than seccession".

Ojukwu issued those bonds deliberately in the name of both Nigeria and Eastern Nigeria because Ojukwu had plans to retake Nigeria and become it's soverign HoS.

This position by Ojukwu is still exposed by all biafran protagonist today and we saw it with how they all dropped their Gucci flag for the Nigerian flag when Obi declared his intention to contest.

I have come to see Biafra as a fraud and more like a means to secure power at the centre for the Ibos.
You did not provide evidence as prove to your assertion.

In descending order, what yardsticks qualify Etiti proposal more than the long existing Orlu/Njaba/Anim, Adada and Aba states proposal?
So you think Igbo leaders who agreed on Etiti state at 2014 national confrence are not wise?
What is special about Etiti is that 5 existing SE states contributed local government areas to make up the new proposed state so no state is left behind.Those other states you mentioned will not get wide spread support like Etiti state.
Orlu state bill came out Anambra side of it said they are not interested.

Etiti was an afterthought in 2006 when Athur Nzeribe wanted Orashi State excluding most of the 12 local government areas in Orlu zone.

Etiti State is like pulling diverse local government areas that have nothing in common except Igbo language, a disaster waiting if created.

What will you use to fund Etiti State? Proceeds from crude oil and gas deposits in Orlu zone of 12 local government areas which merits the 6th state?
Above all, there is hardly any mineral resources or notable business venture in the whole of the area Etiti State is proposed by a few new legislators.
The whole area of Etiti is the least populated area of Igbo land.
What does other states have in common that Etiti state does not?
Were the people that make up Etiti state not formerly in one state before? Are they not neighbour?

It is their greed that will push them to fourth class citizens.Power was rotating amongst the 3 senatorial zones until it reaches Ngwa man turn and he presented his Ngwa brother from same LGA to replace him in government house Umuahia.They want to marginalize the rest of Abia state.

I wish Ngwa will understand that their fate is similar to what transpired between Igbo and Ikwerre before the war..
Ngwa will be next.
Ngwa land would have been better had it been our ancestors were foresighted to follow the Ikwerre path.

The development of our region will be stunted as before under a regional government.

Hospitals, roads, flyovers, airport, schools, malls, water supply, bridges, international markets, etc were not in Ebonyi under Regional Government.

If we return, FAAC or federal allocation of Ebonyi will be used to develop Enugu and Onitsha and leaving us to rot just like before.

Politics › Re: State Creation In South East: Aba State by Ojiofor: 5:01pm On Sep 29, 2024
OnoVegasBlog:
In southeastern Nigeria, there has been a growing demand for state creation. For instance, in Imo State, there is a strong movement supporting the creation of Orlu State, while in Enugu State, the push for Adada State has also gained significant traction. However, the situation in Abia State presents a unique challenge. The Ngwa people, primarily situated in the southern part of Abia, have consistently advocated for the establishment of Aba State. Despite this, a significant portion of the Abia populace opposes this move.

Interestingly, while other Abians resist the creation of a separate Aba State, there are ongoing claims that Ngwa leadership has mismanaged Abia State. This contradiction is further complicated by the fact that many who criticize the Ngwa still hesitate to allow them to stand alone and develop their envisioned state.

This brings forth a critical question: why do those who express discontent with the Ngwa people’s role in governance also resist their desire for autonomy? There seems to be a persistent attempt to maintain attachment to Ngwa land, despite the calls for separation. This paradoxical stance reflects deeper socio-political issues within the state.

Ultimately, the Ngwa people find themselves in a difficult position, one akin to being trapped in a failed union with Abia North. This relationship, marked by mistrust and division, raises a broader question: who will champion the cause of the Ngwa people and bring an end to this untenable arrangement? It is evident that a resolution is needed, one that either allows for peaceful coexistence or paves the way for the realization of the Ngwa people's dream of building their own independent state.
We will continue to oppose Aba state and it will not see the light of the day.
People of Abia North invested and developed Aba and can't leave it for nde Ngwa.And secondly it is not in the interest of Igbo nation to have Abia state divided again after Afikpo was carved into Ebonyi state..

But how can a mere federal commissioner, a mere political appointee, put fire in a state when there is a sitting governor in that state with enormous executive powers? 

If Wike was still a sitting governor, would he allow anybody to put fire in his state?

The PDP should, as a matter of urgency, send Wike packing so that he can formerly move into the APC, where his madness is so needed. As we all know, the APC is a party for mad men like him. Tinubu and all those people around him are mad men. 

He is of no use to the PDP; after all, he worked against the party in the last general elections, and he is still working against the party.
Wike is the most powerful man in PDP that is what it means.
