HIGHESTPOPORI:
Even Buhari didn't participate in the last debate but stil won the election

But Obiano participated, giving the people the opportunity to see his flaws...

One thing is clear: Willie Obiano did not win the debate.
Best is that he came THIRD.
Same may repeat on election day.

The day of reckoning is fast approaching.

Can you afford another four years of Obiano?

You see, I thank God, you are saying the truth at least, I have not said obiano has answered all the yearnings of the people. Far from it, but he has done relatively well in comparison with other states and Governors.

My friend you sell Anambra state very low! Too low I might add.
If I may ask, are you from Anambra state? Put differently, do you know how ambitious the people of Anambra are?
Why do you think they call the state "The Light of the Nation"?
Do you think it is mere slogan?

Anambra does not need someone comfortable with comparing the state with other states in Nigeria, most of which are failed states.
Anambra wants to set the development standards to those other states.
We don't want to copy them!
We need someone with the vision, zeal, and ambition to make the state great again.
Obiano ain't it bro.

But I think the verdict is really out on Obiano.
This election is his to lose, and lose he may.
And why?
Because he simply could not rise to the leadership levels expected of him as APGA governor.
He essentially made Igbos to start questioning the rationale for a party like APGA.
And that, to me, is a monumental failure.
He should simply remove Ojukwu's picture from that Ankara.

In all these junkie, no where did the op mention where obiano did not do well, and where he would do well...
This is a political jobber handwork. Imagine asking obiano to give Igbo youths voice! Don't be surprise the self acclaimed yoot tony Nwoye is the one writing this rubbish! We can never allow our state to be reduced to fighting ground
Obiano did not do everything, he is not perfect. He has his flaws, but he has done something, that other states are not even thinking of, aside paying salaries when due, our state is safer today, our agro revolution is on... So who you help op?

So paying of salaries and making the state safe have become the standard for greatness in Anambra state these days?
Chai
That is why Obiano may actually lose this election, because he really has not achieved anything else.
He only wins if people of the state hold themselves to that standard. I know Anambra state well. That Obiano wins this election means that other candidates failed to make their own case.
This election is a low hanging fruit.

patrick89:
I like the tone of your voice! But be rest assured that obaze and tony are not going to be the Governor of Anambra state! Screen grab this page!

I never said that they will win either. Read carefully.
I said they'd cancel themselves out in Anambra north.

velai:
I will vote for Obiano.

He may not win though.
In fact he is likely to lose because he will split votes with Obaze and Nwoye in Anambra north.
The winner will be someone who wins elsewhere particularly in populated towns.

The most important thing to know about infertility is that most of the available conventional treatment programs don't work.

Worst still, they can make you very sick!

Conventional fertility programs focus too much on drugs, particularly ovulation inducing drugs which can cause ovarian cancer.

Diets alone can only go so far, and as such cannot deliver on a consistent basis.

Infertility is often accompanied by other medical issues such as fibroid tumors, PCOS, ovarian cysts, and hormonal imbalance.

Most infertile couples are lost in the system and have given up hope of ever producing their own babies.

But there is hope!

Only a program that tackles ALL these issues holistically and simultaneously can deliver miracle grade breakthroughs to restore your fertility and good health.

In this election, ANYTHING is possible. Even the most obscure candidate who did his political legwork can win this thing fair and square while the bigwigs wait for their "entitled victory".

48noble:
Peter Obi is about to become a godfather in anambra politics...hence d defeat of Obaze and Obianos victory as for Chidioka and his UPP, it's Ijabode trained thunder that will reset his IPOBy ideology

Peter Obi is part of the problem in Anambra state today.
He did his two terms under godfathers' heat, but now he wants to be a godfather.
Meanwhile he claims to be a Christian.

Natural remains the best way to cure this condition and get back your womanhood.

dasamek8:
Tony Nwoye will bring the much need change for anambra As for others they should wait for the future

How, may I ask?
How will he be different from, say, Mbadinuju?

This election will define Anambra state for many years to come.

Nigerian lawyers would rather die, than ditch that wig.
Just watch.

The fast approaching gubernatorial elections in Anambra state is significant for many reasons.

Firstly, it would be the second time that an incumbent governor seeks a second term in office.

Secondly, there are 37 candidates in the race -a record even for Anambra state.

Thirdly, the incumbent faces a real challenge of reelection because the electorates have real credible choices among the mostly qualified candidates in this election.

What some of the candidates lack in experience, for example, they make up for in other areas such as “Abuja support”; a typical example being the APC candidate in this race. Information has it that “Abuja is determined to capture Anambra state by all means” … and so forth. Whether Anambra state will allow itself to be “captured” remains to be seen.

Other candidates like the UPP's Osita Chidoka presents fresh political philosophy different from the “mainstream philosophy”, one that is rooted in the deepest feelings of Igbo people about their place as a politically marginalized group in Nigeria.

Chidoka seeks to tap into the discontent among the Igbo, particularly the youths, some of which are very raw and real. One of such issue is the problem of Fulani herdsmen which was unaddressed in real time by the Obiano administration when it was still in the news.

There is the PDP candidate Oseloka Obaze who many in Anambra state saw as the brain behind the Peter Obi administration. The man is seen as a technocrat with the leadership pedigree to transform Anambra state. The jury is still out on his political philosophy and ideology as far as Igbo and Nigerian nation are concerned.

And then there is the incumbent governor Willie Obiano of the APGA whose leadership style has been praised by some, and condemned by others in the state. Obiano, for example, has been praised for his “security first” philosophy which saw to the sanitization of the Upper Iweka and flyover parts of Onitsha. Obiano also dealt kidnapping a death blow in the state.

Obiano managed to carry forward some of Peter Obi's development ideas such as education, payment of salaries, and keeping the state's debt low. However, Obiano's opponents accuse him of being politically deaf and dumb both locally in Anambra, and nationally.

Obiano has been accused of being sectional in his development strategy. For example, Nnewi people claim that Obiano completely ignored the town in road construction and rehabilitation.
APGA is the political party which claims to ride on the philosophy of Ikemba Nnewi, Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu. The question then becomes: If Ojukwu were alive today, would he support Obiano's reelection?

Would Ojukwu even be in APGA by now if he were alive?

These questions are relevant because the Obiano administration has not demonstrated any commitment to the ideals of Igbo nationalism. To be fair to Obiano, this is not a new thing about him. When Peter Obi handpicked him as his successor, not a few Igbo wondered about the criteria for such a choice.

Some even accused Obi of handpicking someone who would cover his shortcomings in office. Obi insisted then that Obiano was the most qualified candidate, and that, in a contest that included Prof CC Soludo. However, the same Obi has now moved out of APGA and has endorsed (or is sponsoring) the PDP candidate Oseloka Obaze. Meanwhile, the same Obaze contested the APGA primaries four years ago against Obiano, and lost, thanks to Peter Obi. In light of these, one is then forced to ask a pertinent question:

What does Peter Obi see now in Oseloka Obaze that he did not see four years ago? Conversely, what does he not see in Obiano today that he saw four years ago?
The vehemence with which Peter Obi is opposing Willie Obiano today should warn Anambra citizens that either one, or both of Obi and Obiano may be bad for Anambra state this time around.

Ojukwu used to address Peter Obi as his “political son”; but would he have moved to PDP with Peter Obi were he still alive?
As an Anambra citizen, three issues bother me most about Obiano, and they are the following, in no particular order:

(1) He has never articulated a national political strategy as the leader of the most important Igbo state and the only governor under the umbrella of APGA, the “Ojukwu party”. Obiano has operated as a strictly local player who is more concerned about the pickpockets and the “umu Okulu” at Upper Iweka Onitsha, than positioning the Igbo politically nationally in Nigeria. Obiano has essentially played dead on the Fulani herdsman issue and peppered it over. Secondly, those responsible for the massacre inside an Ozubulu church are still at large, and the governor has moved on already.

(2) Under Obiano, there is no real voice in the governor's lodge for the Igbo youths who have been at a loss concerning their future. There is no sustained and transformative strategy for job creation for the youths. Though Obiano tried to attract investors and has succeeded to some extent, there are no world class infrastructures to anchor down such investments, and there is little participation by the entrepreneurial people of Anambra state in the economic development strategy. Anambra state needs foreign-local partnership, not just foreign ownership of business in Anambra state.

(3) Obiano has not convinced his political opponents that he is as ambitious as the Anambra people. The proposed “international cargo airport” has been very slow in coming up, while Anambra state urgently needs a fully functional international airport to act as the transportation anchor or node for world class ventures to pour into the state. Ndigbo are in a hurry to “invest at home” but they are being delayed by clueless governors who cannot expeditiously create the needed institutional and ideological framework for such rapid transformation. We need good schools, but on current trajectory, the schools would only produce labor for other states and even other countries if there are no economic anchors or hubs to employ their graduates. We want our schools to produce labor for the local economy. The local economy can never take off with “village philosophy”.


All the candidates in this election need to make their cases around the issues that can positively and boldly transform the state. And so far, the candidates have not done so. Insulting one another is not the way to make the case. The days of cloak and dagger politics in Anambra state should be long over by now.
Anambra state should be leading the rest of Eastern Nigerian states in socioeconomic and political goal setting and achievement. The ideal governor for the state should be someone deeply rooted in the political and socioeconomic realities and possibilities of Anambra state. The state's motto is “The Light of the Nation”; therefore mediocre leadership should not continue.

Ojukwu's prime political ideology and strategy is the “think home, invest home, build home” one. It is also one that believes in defending Igbo rights nationally. The two must be pursued simultaneously, else neither can be achieved.
It is not one that is clueless and unconcerned about the place of the Igbo person in the Nigerian national politics. To not have a national political strategy is to essentially defeat the aims of whatever development strategy being considered for the state. Anambra needs a governor that understands these, and who is capable of building on top of them, rather than one who maintains a lukewarm attitude towards them.

Umu Anamrba, though the devil we know may be better than the saint we don't know, sometimes it may be necessary to break an egg in order to make the omelette. Are we sure that we want another four years of Obiano? Only you can answer this question.

On November 18, vote very wisely.

What people do these days in the name of "tribal war" is shocking.

Alcatraz005:
It takes two to tango bro! Igbos don't love me too but I am willing to tolerate.

If you were willing to tolerate you wouldn't have started this thread with all the hate in it.
Anyway, good luck hating.
Out.

Anyway, OP is devoid of logic and common sense.
Just another hate speech writer.
It is sad that Nigeria is saddled with such young men.

Alcatraz005:
Basic reason: it will come with too much bloodshed.

No, you are still not being logical.
Why the bloodshed?

Since Igbos are permanent second class citizens and will never be accepted to lead Nigeria, logic dictates that you ask them to leave. Sort of like what the northern youths are doing.
They make more sense to me than you.

Another reason why we should resist being goaded into conflict by the igbos is because they are a defeated race already hence the constant frustration from them. The effects of the civil war defeat of the igbos is still being felt by them. What we are witnessing right now in the form of the current agitations is that the present generation of igbos just came to the realisation that igbos have been consigned to slave status (2nd class citizens in their own country). This sudden reality is why they are exasperated. It is the stubborn struggle of a dying animal. In Yoruba, we call it (japooro). Ibo n japooro ni.....

But why then is it that anytime they talk about leaving, people like you act as if they ate your lunch?
Your post is full of logic suicides.
No vex o.

Kingsley1000:
THE ONLY PEOPLE SKEPTICAL ARE YORUBAS NOT IGBOS

Yorubas aren't interested either way.

It is really amazing that someone can be parading around as a governor while his people are killed and raped in their own state.
Isn't it better that a state has no governor at all?
Just wondering...

There has been no agreement among the Igbo about the boycott of the Anambra gubernatorial elections slated for November as called by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). Perhaps nothing has ever divided Igbo opinion more than this boycott issue; but in the midst of the cacophony that has characterized much of the debate, some salient points are missed. The missing of the point comes in two ways: through honest misunderstanding of the real issues; and through deliberate muddying of the waters by seasoned politicians who fear that the boycott would hurt their selfish political career interests. But, the issues involved are too serious to be abandoned to either of the two sides listed above. There is a third group that has not yet spoken out strongly enough, and those voices should speak now and never let up until they are heard.
This opinion piece belongs in that third group.

The Igbo say that a child can play with its mother's breasts and get away with it, but the day the child dares to play with his father's scrotal sacs is the day the child gets appropriately punished.

Let's go there.

The ultimate truth is that the governors of the South East states in Nigeria have collectively failed to provide the needed leadership that would protect Igbo interests in Nigeria. All the governors have been local champions who cannot see beyond the boundaries of their individual states; sometimes they can't even see beyond the gates of their official governor's residences.

One may disagree with IPOB on their ultimate goal of seceding Igbo from Nigeria, but one would be hopelessly dishonest, or outright irresponsible to self-interest, to say that IPOB has been wrong on how absolutely useless the South East governors have been to core Igbo interest in Nigeria.

To add to the utter short-sightedness of these governors -whose conception of development only ends in tarring of the village and inter-village roads- they are also of the worst cowardly set; the likes we've never seen in the East right from the time of Nigeria's independence. It is as if Igbo governors are getting weaker and more cowardly as time passes. Michael Iheonukara Okpara was a very courageous Igbo man who not only boldly developed South Eastern cities of Enugu, Onitsha, Owerri, Aba, and to some extent Umuahia his own town, but also South South cities of Port Harcourt, and Calabar. Okpara was not busy building village roads -he was developing both Port Harcourt and Calabar (as coastal cities) to rival Lagos in everything -industrial estates, international airport, and other megacity infrastructure. He did so without ever looking the way of Nigeria's federal government, and he built them with a spirit that says “this is what we want for ourselves, deal with it. If you like it, good. If you don't, too bad for you because we won't stop!”.

That is the Igbo spirit.

After Okpara, Sam Mbakwe did the same, and to some extent, Jim Nwobodo in Imo and Anambra states respectively. In fact, Nwobodo and Mbakwe built Anambra and Imo (Mbakwe started Imo airport) with a certain confrontational attitude towards the federal government of Nigeria which has historically schemed to “contain Igbo people”. These real Igbo men stared down the FG and built infrastructure that could attract Igbo and other people back to South East. Had Jim Nwobodo continued to be governor of Anambra, even this much smaller one, he would have built an International airport there whether the federal government liked it or not. Fashola did exactly that in Lagos and handed the batten to Ambode who is continuing the Lekki international airport project and deep sea port, demonstrating no change in leadership philosophy for Lagos – bold, ambitious, unapologetic.
Why, for example, can't the governor of Enugu state sponsor and pass a law that bans open cattle grazing in Enugu state? A family friend from Enugu state told me yesterday that people no longer go to farms and streams in her village because terrorist Fulani herdsmen kill the men and rape the women in the bushes there. Why is it that the only “policy” demonstrated by Enugu state governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi is to cry like a woman? What type of a governor is that? What has Ugwuanyi done to protect Enugu villages from alien terrorists essentially making life hell for the people he claims to govern?

Why is Owerri -a so called capital city- so insecure that people are being gunned down in broad daylight while the governor goofs around? Owerri used to be the most peaceful and “civilized” South East city; but now it has become a den of kidnappers, assassins, and armed robbers.

Why is Obiano not able to build an international airport at the site of the so called “cargo airport”? Anambra state has so much potential that all it would take is an investor ( foreign or domestic ) who would be given a BOT contract to build a world class international airport to attract entrepreneurial Igbo people back from all corners of Nigeria and the earth. Why can't Obiano see that Anambra is the commercial center-point of Igboland, and deserves international connection? Oh, I see, he is waiting for the federal government to come and build it, right? Apart from tarring village roads, what other business and major economic infrastructure has Peter Obi and Obiano built for Anambra state in the past 12 years or so?
Which of the infrastructure they built can support Igbo people as is the case in Lagos and the North?
Will Anambra remain a village state for ever?

Meanwhile, tiny and much less interested Eastern states like Bayelsa has since passed anti-open grazing law and is building an international airport while the northern youths are issuing quit notice on Igbo people in the North. Most of the Igbo in the North are hostages to the conspiracy that has manifested in Igbo governors neglecting the infrastructure interests of their own people. When the northern youths issued the quit notice, I personally felt that they are only throwing a gambit, because they know that Igbo governors are totally useless and spineless to protect Igbo interests in Nigeria. They only want to be called “governors” while their people are killed in their own land.

So, IPOB and Kanu stands on very solid grounds when they say that the guber elections only give credibility to house slaves parading as governors in Igboland.
This is a fact so strong that any human being who knows the issues can almost palpate.
I used to be against the boycott, but I'm not so sure that I'm still against it.
Given, IPOB's motive is secession; mine is survival of Igbo people inside the Nigerian nation. On this point of the total uselessness of South East governors, no sane Igbo can disagree.
Sometimes it is good to come to a complete halt before an opportunity for thorough reflection can present itself. These South East governors need to leave office, at least to show the world that they do not serve the interest of the people there. Let the FG declare a state of emergency there and appoint whoever it wants there; that way Igbo people can at least deal directly with the puppet master instead of dealing with the puppet.

A truth is like a red hot sword. It is foolhardy to try to stop it.


https://www.nigerialog.com/politics/anambra-elections-boycott-nnamdi-kanu-is-right-about-one-thing/

Here's my main take on this issue.

The article is about a woman's bottom-line chance for fertility.

(1) The most prominent finding is about infertile women, therefore if you are fertile through your family line, you have nothing to worry about.

(2) If infertility runs in your family (things like PCOS runs in family), and having a child is critically important to you, then you should at least marry or get a baby by 18. Else, maintain a regular sex life till you are ready to have a baby.

(3) Women with fertility problems will increase in number due to women delaying childbirth till later years; this is indisputable.

(4) If you are a man reading this, try to snag your girl at 18. That is how she likely beats childlessness.

(5) Hoping to get a baby through technology like IVF should be an absolute last choice, not a first choice because of the times we live in.


BTW I read somewhere that current Nigerian youths hate intellectual work. And the person was asking how these youths can run a sophisticated economy in the 21st century. I hope that some submissions I've read here does not prove this true.

Lionessza:
Weird. Why not have the quantity of sex with one person, why the need to screw around to be fertile? . This so called researcher is up to something

But the result of the survey was showing that either of the two had the same effect. Did you read the data up there?
If anything, I believe the result was showing that women should not delay having babies past the age of say 18 to 21, else those of them with latent fertility issues start to manifest them in later years. But it appears that those of them that did not abstain after 18 had relatively higher chance of conceiving than others.
