because he knew that he was rigged into office by the federal government,LP won the last governorship election,free and fair.

It was not federal government that rigged the election rather it was pdp Enugu state who did every possible to rig and win.

bigcasava1:
he had no choice cos he got there through stolen mandate, so he have to work because the second tenure may not be guaranteed.

Exactly he knows if he did not perform very well rigging may not save him in next election.

AntiMarxist:
From all indications , it was the Nigerian Pound.

By getting Ibos to exchange their Nigerian Pounds for Biafran Pounds, Ojukwu was able to build a war chest of sort because no one would've accepted his Biafran note.

This is evident with how Ojukwu gave direct orders for the looting of Banks in the Midwest and occupied parts of present day SS states that were trapped in Biafra. As Biafran troops withdrew to their ancestral hinterland , the order was given to loot banks of Nigerian Pound notes.

The only reason Ojukwu hated Awolowo with deep passion, was because after the Biafrans surrendered, it was discovered that Ojukwu had fled with the remaining loot. Awo will simply roll out a currency redesign from Nigerian Pounds to Nigeria Naira , thus turning all the loot in Ojukwu's hands to worthless paper.

This move was well thought out by Awo, because it was discovered that a considerable amount of Nigerian pounds mostly that looted from banks was held in the hands of key Biafran figures like Ojukwu who could have used such wealth to start another war or insurgency in Nigeria.

Also, Biafran soldiers in the Midwest and occupied SS also robbed civilians of their cash. To allow for such illegal loot to remain in the hands of war criminals was unacceptable to Awo.


So there you have it.

Nigeria central bank changed their currency notes to make the Nigeria pounds in the hands of Biafrans worthless.

SmartPolician:
That nonentity who came before Governor Mbah was always shouting that Enugu was in the hands of God. Now, I can say that Enugu is truly in the hands of God.

Mba is working!
The man want to prove to LP supporters that he is really good.

Pastor Adeboye ke?
He will collect envelope and tell suffering Nigerians that Tinubu is trying that Nigeria problem is spiritual that we should pray harder.

But wetin concern Afenifere with LP campaign fund?

Good one.

Rossikk:
This man is stinking rich.

He’s worth probably $100 million or more.

Where did he get all this money?

Because I don’t know of any tangible business the man does.

And then he complains all the time about the economy.

Why doesn’t he share some of his Ill-gotten money to the poorest in society?

He comes across as an EFCC material to me.

Investigations should be launched into his mysterious source of wealth.

Meanwhile the bullion van bandit and drug lord is your president.

emkz:
My father owes me an upbringing and an education. Once he has done these, anything else he gives me is out of his good heart and not because he owes me anything.

What is the guarantee that those you claim are living off the wealth are actually living well? What is your guarantee that those fighting to receive would live well when they receive? I have seen children of the wealthy failing spectacularly because they lacked the intelligence to manage what was left to them.

Easier said than done not when your dad is supper rich like Abiola.You are entitled to his wealth it is your right.Abiola had enough to go round all his children.

Tinubu will sell Nigeria before he is done with his first term in office.

emkz:
Inheritance is good. But inheritance must not be static.

If my father was superwealthy, I'd rather inherit his financial genes and make my own money than inherit his money which would he squandered if I do not have his money making genes.

May I also plead with the family to stop airing their issues in the public domain? It is getting too much and demystifies the man who launched the family to African fame.

So if your father is supperwealthy you will live wretched like your father had nothing while some of your siblings enjoy his wealth that belong to all of you abi.

Please show us the one that is in a bad state that the Gov. Otti says is 40km while those he claimed to have abandoned it are saying it's 33km......

Let's know who is speaking stories to gullible villagers.

This is a rebuttal from SA to Alex Otti concerning the road.

AROCHUKWU-OHAFIA ROAD RECONSTRUCTION: SENATOR ORJI KALU’S REACTION IS A SELF-SERVING MISCHIEF
Our attention has been drawn to a statement credited to the "Media Office" of the former Governor of Abia State, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, wherein the former Governor made some puerile distortions in an attempt to create a needless controversy and confusion over the Arochukwu-Ohafia Road project flagged off for reconstruction by the Governor of Abia State, Dr. Alex Otti.

Two false claims contained in the said release were, one; that Senator Kalu as Governor resurfaced the road, and that through his effort as a Senator, former President Buhari ordered the release of funds and that the road was reconstructed, leaving only 14.5 kilometres.
We had contemplated not to dignify the misleading statement with a response, but on a second thought, we considered it appropriate to put the records straight by stating the following:

1.That Senator Kalu's claims are false, baseless, unfounded and misleading. Unlike the initial 35 kilometre-length that was awarded and abandoned and which was meant to terminate mid-way into Arochukwu, the present road awarded and flagged off by Governor Otti is a 41.4 Kilometre road billed to terminate at the Abia boundary with Akwa Ibom.

2. Governor Otti will never reduce himself to dragging with anyone on who attracted what project or not, because the people are alive to see with their eyes and give their verdict, however, we consider it appalling and pedestrian for anyone to make such grievous claims that are capable of denying Abians what is rightfully theirs. Simply put that, if Senator Kalu had limited himself to the funny claims of resurfacing and building the road, and in fact all the roads in Abia and South East, we wouldn't be bothered, but to attempt to invalidate the length of what has just been awarded with the full knowledge of the Federal Government, is not only a Self-serving mischief, but a dishonourable act unbecoming of a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

3. During former Governor Okezie Ikpeazu's administration, Senator Kalu had this to say about the Umuahia-Uzukoli-Abiriba-Ohafia road. "Despite not falling into my senatorial role, I had initially appropriated One billion naira as part of the 2021 capital project but the Federal Ministry of Works is yet to take action on it .

When I was Governor, I built the road and maintained it. Ever since I left, there has been no new investment on the road despite being one of the busiest roads in Abia. I am calling and appealing to the state Governor to ease off the stress on that road by taking urgent action on it". From the above statement, it's clear that Senator Kalu is more interested in self glorification, especially from where his impact does not exist, than working assiduously to leave a solid and visible imprimatur that would speak for him even in his absence.
4. Again, how could Senator Kalu have gotten the Senate to appropriate the sum of One Billion Naira for the reconstruction of the Umuahia-Uzuakoli-Abiriba-Ohafia road which he publicly admitted was a state road during Ikpeazu's administration,?
What impact could One Billion naira have made on such a strategic road as recent as 2021 when he allegedly made the appropriation? Was it an audio appropriation that died off with its media razzmatazz?

Senator Kalu would definitely have taken credit as well for the construction of the Umuahia-Uzuakoli-Abiriba-Ohafia road if the Ikpeazu government had built the road.
5. The claim by Senator Kalu's "Media Team" is misleading, and was obviously made to massage his ego and reduce the criticisms trailing him for abandoning major roads in Abia North and other parts of the state throughout his eight years tenure as Governor, while he continues to use questionable construction companies to build very funny and substandard roads attracted by him through the NDDC as a Senator.
6. Since Senator Kalu is interested in comparing capacity, let him tell us the Federal roads he built in Abia during his eight years tenure while we remind him that Governor Otti is speedily completing Port Harcourt Road using Julius Berger. He has awarded the Arochukwu-Ohafia road, he is already paying compensation to people whose properties were marked for demolition before commencing the reconstruction and dualization of the Owerrinta-Umuika road. Work is about to commence on the Abia Tower -Onuimo road and serious upgrade of the Aba-Owerri road has gradually commenced, and he will definely reconstruct more, because he doesn't discriminate between state and federal roads as long as such roads are in Abia and used by Abia people. Senator Kalu's claim of resurfacing the Arochukwu-Ohafia road is an audacious lie that requires no debate.

7. Does Senator Kalu not know that it's both an act of provocation and disrespect to the people, to look them in the face and claim that a road that was abandoned for several years and which caused them pain and anguish during the period, was built in the media just because he wants to attach political relevance to himself at the expense of the people for his alleged role in getting the previous government to aaward the road without ensuring that the road was built. Are there things we do not know concerning the funds that may have been approved for the road and were not utilised?
8. What was the length of the road that was built, and why was the part left behind abandoned? If Senator Kalu got the Buhari government to award the road, what did he say or do when it was abandoned.
Again, if the road was built, leaving only 14.5 kilometres as claimed by Kalu, why does it take over two hours for a vehicle to manage to drive from Ohafia to Arochukwu for a journey that shouldn't take more that 30 minutes?

9. If the road was built as claimed by Senator Kalu, why do many indigenes of Abia North, and other Abians, including Senator Kalu himself most times access Arochukwu and Ohafia from Akwa Ibom state? How come in the entire Abia state, it's only Kalu that is making this kind of misleading claim about a road that people are suffering on a daily basis while plying it? Does Senator Kalu consider Abians too timid and inconsequential to the point that they could be lied to and against at all times?
10. It's Important at this point to remind Senator Kalu that there comes a time in the life of a man, especially, an elder and public servant when his actions and utterances must be well measured, guided and truthful. Obi should cease to be a boy and try to become a man for the sake of his children and grandchildren who look up to him for advice and directions, and his kinsmen who are consistently worried by his contradictions and controversies.

Let's know who is speaking stories to gullible villagers.

Ask people from Abia state they will tell people avoid traveling to Arochukwu due to long distance state of bad road your car have to pass through before you get there.I attended a friend mother's burial in Arochukwu in 2020 and I can confirm to you that people avoid going to Aro for a good reason.Ask anybody from Arochukwu and confirm.Things are very expensive in Arochukwu more than any other place in Igboland due to bad state of their road.I am not on the ground right now to be able to send you pictures.But I believe there are people of Arochukwu origin who are members of this forum.

The no6 man in Nigeria have gone silent after he challenged the people's governors and got his fingers burnt
Still nursing his self inflicted injury.We wish him well and may he be promoted from n06 position to number 5 next time.

babyboy4every1:
I quote the wrong person. Sorry

Its okay bro

ALTERNATEID:
Why were they deported? They must be those criminals and illegal migrants giving Nigeria a bad name all over the world.

It seems you never stepped outside Nigeria that is why you called people whose visas or residence permit expired and was arrested and deported criminals.They are not criminals but illegal immigrants.

babyboy4every1:
It's like you don't know the meaning of crying. Who is crying between your NATO and putin whem weapons changed hands

My NATO?
You simply can not comprehend.

vanbonattel:
Statistics has proven that much less crimes occur in the south east than in any other part of Nigeria. Most other crimes happening in the south east are committed by immigrants, herdsmen, inter state robbers and kidnappers who return to their states after stealing from the east. If you mention your region, I will pull up your statistics for you. Thanks.

heavy

It could be heavy presence of security agents in SE that result in low crime rate in the region considering all the bandit camps and ugm operating in the region.However the number check points is just too much.

The Presidency has likened the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, to former US President and Republican candidate for the US 2024 election, Donald Trump.

The Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to President Bola Tinubu, Temitope Ajayi, made the comparison in a post on X.com on Wednesday following the US presidential debate between Trump and Democratic candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris.

“Peter Obi is the Nigeria version of Donald Trump. Like Obi, Trump will use the most negative epithets imaginable to describe a country he wants to lead again just to make a point and rile up his base,” he wrote.

During the debate, Harris and Trump clashed on many issues ranging from abortion rights to immigration, as both candidates sought to sway voters in a tightly contested race.

Ajayi added, “Kamala Harris prosecuted Trump very well in their first face to face debate yesterday night. Kamala convincingly won the debate and left no one in doubt about his capacity.

“Vice President Harris knew Trump’s weakness and set traps for him. Trump fell for her baits. Both candidates have been fact-checked on their claims in the debate. While Harris was reported to have made just one incorrect claim, Trump made 33 false claims in the same 90 minutes debate.”

Media reports highlighted that Trump frequently engaged with Harris’s provocations, reiterating conspiracy theories and false claims about the 2020 election and immigration.

The former president was constantly fact-checked by debate moderators but Trump only doubled down on his assertions such as claiming that immigrants are eating dogs and pets of US residents.

“In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs — the people that came in — they’re eating the cats, they’re eating the pets of the people that live there. And this is what’s happening in our country,” Trump said, contradicting the Springfield city manager, who said such accusations had no basis in fact.

The 2024 US elections are scheduled to be held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024.

Tinubu avoided debate because he has nothing to offer.

OUK and his boys should rest.Between Ohafia and Arochukwu road is in a very bad condition.They are showing us street road inside Arochukwu LGA which is in good condition.

Botragelad:
Of course you are. That's your job!

And you Unkraine bot

Botragelad:
Yes. You mean you are complaining about Ukraine doing the same thing! 🤷‍♂️

I am not just supporting team Russia.

Botragelad:
Exactly what Russia is doing. Begging Iran and north Korea for more weapons. Lol

For where those two nations are glad to sell to Russia and Russia is happy to buy cheaper quantity missiles from them and save their more sophisticated and expensive missiles for strategic targets.

Botragelad:
Good. That's what Ukraine Is doing. Trade for mutual benefit, according to you! 😂

They are not offering anything in return just begging for more arms

Botragelad:
"The Russians had asked for more drones and those Iranian ballistic missiles with improved accuracy, particularly the Fateh and Zolfaghar missiles family,"said one of the Iranian diplomats, who was briefed about the trip.

Do you take me for a mug who'll lap up your propaganda without question? Putin's begging bowl is out, and he's pleading with Iran for drones, but you're trying to peddle a different story.

The truth is plain to see, so cut the claptrap and get real with yourself!😂

It is called trade for mutual benefit.Iran supply Russia weapons in exchange for Wheat and corn.
