As a matter of fact what I expect is that political heavy weights in Igboland should capture APGA and take it away from Peter Obi and Victor Umeh.
Why are all of them running away from Obi and Umeh?
It is like coming to your family home and seeing it in run-down conditions, and instead of you fixing it, you abandon it and go to live with a neighbor. Meanwhile at the neighbors house, you are busy fixing it and building it.  

Well, a day will come when the neighbor will remind you that you are NOT the owner of the house and deal ruthlessly with you.

Only a fool invests in another man's house!  

The main intent of this article is to advise Ndigbo to grow APGA as their only political vehicle to attaining national relevance.
National party adherents in Igboland must understand that they are indirectly responsible for Igbo marginalization in today's Nigeria, whereby PDP is begging SW to receive a position that SE wanted desperately.

O buru na ihere adighi eme unu, o na eme m!  

@aribisala0

You are derailing this thread, though I understand your point.

Back to the topic.

How do we (APGA) capture the SE and perhaps SS?

I made a statement about which parts of Igboland tended towards national parties in recent history. I am yet to be proven wrong on that point.

Why can't we bring Enugu state into core Igbo agenda? That is my question.

BTW Rivers and Cross River voted NPN in 1979. It does not mean there are muslims there. They just voted NPN.
You can interpret it however you like. The point is that if APGA wants to be taken seriously nationally, it must capture the East (by all means necessary), or it should be allowed to die a natural death, while Ndigbo would NEVER be respected nationally. FACT.

For APGA to take over SE and beyond, we need the strong involvement of Ohanaeze and Aka Ikenga. I will explain.

Enugu state (historically) has tended towards national parties than Igbo sponsored parties, and we need to change that fast. When Jim Nwobodo was the governor of old Anambra state, NPP (Zik's party) was strongest in current Anambra state and Old Imo state than in northern Anambra (Enugu and Ebonyi) where CC Onoh of NPN held sway.
Also, I cannot recall of any Igbo nationalist from Enugu state. No pun intended. They always played national politics even if it would cost Ndigbo. Look at Ekweremadu now and you would understand.

Methinks that Enugu brothers need to demonstrate their loyalty to Igbo agenda, 'cos they haven't done that enough.

Enugu is the most important Eastern town, and we cannot leave it to those who are not trusting of their fellow Easterners.

Enugu must come home. NOW. 

As for Ebonyi and Abia, these would come to APGA if Okorocha performs well in Imo.
It is Enugu that I worry about. 

So, Ohanaeze needs to drag Enugu home.

^^
Why are laughing yourself to scorn?

How many Anambra states do you have in Nigeria?

The last time I checked, there is only ONE Anambra state (a state made up of Nigeria's largest concentration of human assets almost equally distribute in three indigenous towns )

I think that Anambra has unique circumstance, ie three cities almost equal in weight and importance (Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi). And also Anambra is not an oil producing state -YET.

So, Obi is trying, per his responsibility and state income.

Ngige only built roads. If Obi wants to "shine", he would concentrate on Awka and build only roads too.

He is building everything. I can now travel to the remotest parts of Anambra state in minutes instead of hours.
That in itself is a huge achievement.

Can we do better? Of course there is always room for improvement, when the next governor steps in.

onlytruth i beg no kill pesin for here

unfortunately kanuri is now a dying  language

evn i do not understand every word in it Undecided

onlytruth, u can not speak hausa and yoruba

i beleive i am getting better in my igbo daily, but the yoruba is just too hard for me for now

although if desola or ileke-idi marries me, i would have to learn yoruba

brother how u dey and mumsi

Why you never ask me about popsi? Why always mumsi?   You no get papa?  

Yes I can speak both, but you would never understand the inner workings of my head. That is why you would never see me speak both here. I believe in the power of communication, both spoken and unspoken. I consider both languages the languages of my oppressors.  

They would be used ONLY WHEN AND WHERE NECESSARY.  

^^

Let me shock you more.

The "best man" in my wedding was a Yoruba man. Cool dude.

You need to open your mind.

Anioma state to be added to SE zone, plus one extra state for EVERY zone = Equitable zonal configuration of Nigeria.

I'm not sure that solves all the problems, but it would help.

If not that, then all zones should have only ONE state each, with minor adjustments to include split tribes into homogenous zones.

Bros, this is one area where I constantly regret that Soludo did not win the 2010 guber elections in Anambra.

I must admit I was among those who supported Obi.
Peter Obi is doing well, but Soludo would have provided that scale of development which can harness the potentials of Onitsha and Nnewi.
As for Aba, I think that Gov Orji has failed woefully. In fact, this is one of the reasons why I believe that the SE needs one economic plan, because Aba would have emerged another industrial town just like Nnewi is trying to do.

One vision for the East would achieve this aim.

I hope that Okorocha in Imo would galvanize such vision and work with the rest of our governors to bring it to past.

I see you were in awe of ndu_chucks because he demonstrated that he can speak Igbo and Yoruba. Why is that? It is no big deal. I can speak both (though I would not do so here because it is not necessary).
Personally, I suspect that ndu_chucks in not "working" alone. He is still a dan iska going about insulting people in their native languages. One of these days I will shock him with an Hausa proverb he has never heard in his entire life.  

FACT remains that no tribe in Nigeria can even dream of matching Ndigbo in terms of speaking other languages.

I have a cousin who speaks Kanuri better than the Shehu himself.

The way I see it, we have a number of options. We can play the rout of separate states/mutual interests, like in the days of the palm oil trade, after slavery was abolished, or we could actively dominate their in-state markets and tactfully/economically secure access to the sea, if access to the sea is that big of a deal, or, if worse comes to worse, either just kill them all off or just absorb them; no need to think long and hard about a solution to this 'problem'. I know the option I would choose though.

All options would be on the table.
That is the Igbo way.

i disagree with u

the population of ijaw is over inflated and there land does not support such

balysea, parts of delta/ondo(apio ijaw who are even yoruba speaking people) and parts or rivers thats all

so how can that house 14 million ijaws as they claim, c'mon

[b]ijaws can not be more than 700, 000 at most [/b]if u look at the population density of those areas they occupy

Okay, let's just say multiplied by 7 = 4,900,000  -> the most likely figure.  


@al Harem,

I think I agree that Nigeria should not be divided into more than 3 countries, and I don't even think the international community would allow such chaotic division into 4, 5, 6 . . .  countries.

They can handle three new African countries.

So basically, the summary of the article is this:

Igboland will be free [b]so that we can embark on the construction of an advanced civilisation [/b]for the memory of the 3.1 million who were murdered and those who survived to tell the tale.

I laugh at those who miss the message in Uwazuruike's "rant". The message is firmly embedded.

I am NO MASSOB member, but I get what they are saying. Heck all humans get it when they are unbiased. Do I expect the oppressors to get it? HELL NO of course.

Whether they get it or not, you cannot hold down a nation of 50 million; a clear impossible task. 

From the above article by Prof Hebert Ekwe Ekwe, I added a new word to my English dictionary:

[size=16pt]deindividuation[/size]

The deindividuation of Igboland must stop. NOW.  

The fact remains that Igbos are not happy with Nigeria, and will secede if the opportunity calls.

This is not just the views of MASSOB.

Igbo intellectuals are gradually moving towards that direction.

Read this article written by Prof Ekwe Ekwe and you would understand.


[size=16pt]Enough! The Nigeria state occupation of Igboland must now stop [/size]

Herbert Ekwe-Ekwe


Background


Since 13 January 1970, Nigeria has implemented the most dehumanising raft of socioeconomic package of deprivation in occupied Igboland not seen anywhere else in Africa. This further scourge on the Igbo comes in the wake of the Igbo genocide when Nigeria murdered 3.1 million Igbo people between 29 May 1966 and 12 January 1970. Since then, Nigeria has locked down all of Igboland in a labyrinthical network of checkpoints to control the movement of people, goods and services. Two outcomes, each that inexorably feeds into the other, are sought in this brigandage: (a) Nigeria chokes off any rational and sustained economic activity in this land of the famed, enterprising Igbo and (b) the checkpoint is the site that the occupation military/police/other vicious personnel carryout their extortion of the population. For instance, there are 60 occupation police checkpoints between Abakaleke and Nsukka – a distance of 80 miles. In contrast, no checkpoint exists between Obolo-Afo (Igboland) and Lokoja (Nigeria), a distance of 250 miles.

Given the paltry state of its finances, Nigeria cannot afford its continuing occupation of Igboland without its simultaneous ravaging of the legendary wealth of Igboland. In essence, and perhaps most perversely cast, the Igbo nation subsidises its very own occupation – an indirect taxation thereof, amounting to millions and millions of US dollars of savings annually for the near-bankrupt Nigeria treasury. The Igbo therefore carry the burden of this occupation with all its tragic ramifications. There are no comparable occupations elsewhere in the contemporary world with the same viciousness and severity. No human beings should be subjected to this caged habitation – not least, the Igbo people.

Way Forward

1. A general, indefinite strike across the Igbo country must be called forthwith, demanding the unconditional dismantling of Nigeria’s barriers of extortion and expropriation and the evacuation of its military/police bases from their land.

2. The Igbo should today, now, stop paying the millions and millions of US dollars worth of expropriation tax that sustains the Nigeria occupation and subjugation. One must never, ever, be a participant in their incarceration, their deindividuation.

3. An extensive and continuing-evolving organisation is required on the ground as this march of freedom transforms. All strata of the 50 million Igbo population, at home and abroad, must be mobilised – particularly women organisations, farmers, youth/students’ bodies, the redoubtable umuada and umunna circuits, market/allied trade guilds, custodians and overseers of Igbo traditional spiritual/religious places of worship, the clergy and the rest of the intellectuals.

4. The Igbo clergy, for instance, has its work cut out. The role of the church in national freedom movements has been invaluable as the world has seen in places like Poland, the United States (the African American church, for example), several countries in Latin America and, of course, back home during the genocide as occurred 45 years ago – surely in the next sermon in the churches and cathedrals of Igboland, the congregation will be interested to learn of the legacies of the venerable Akanu Ibiam, Godfery Okoye, Benjamin Nwankiti…

5. The Igbo expect their intellectuals, many of who are part of the world’s best and brightest, to play a critical role in responding to this existential threat to their nation. Already, there exists a rich legacy of the outstandingly selfless role played by Igbo intellectuals to Igboland at the onset of the genocide in May 1966 to build upon.

6. Igboland must be Free. Now. If each and every one of us plays their individual role, however “small” or limited it is deemed, the mountain will surely move – and decisively so.

7. Beginning now, no longer cooperate with the occupation; don’t be a party to your own subjugation – make this your personal pledge.

8. Igboland will be free so that we can embark on the construction of an advanced civilisation for the memory of the 3.1 million who were murdered and those who survived to tell the tale.

9. We will free Igboland.

10. Welcome aboard the Igbo freedom train.

11. The least contribution you can make to this historic movement is to forward this exaltation to at least 10 friends and family and ask each of them to send to at least another batch of 10… and 10… and 10…

12. Remain focused and steadfast. We will free Igboland.

13. Please feel individually satisfied for having made a crucial contribution to freeing Igboland by forwarding this exaltation to at least 10 friends and family and ask each of them to send it to at least another batch of 10… and 10… and 10…

14. Enough! FULL STOP to the occupation!! WE will FREE Igboland!!!

I believe that you cannot have a respectable voice at the center if you don't have a solid control of your region.
If PDP had any sense of justice and fair play at all, then we would be right to keep one state under PDP.
PDP is like a malignant tumor that needs to be cut off completely.

Those who are denying us the presidency will come begging us to put forward one of our sons or daughters for that job when they see that we have a platform to secede from Nigeria.
Believe me, that is the only way to the Nigerian presidency. Nothing else would work.

If they have one state in Igboland, they would use that state to make us play second fiddle for ever in Nigeria.

I say NO to any PDP foothold in Igboland.

I say yes to total "APGAlisation" of Igboland; all of it! 

hehehe! It was always bound to happen.

PDP is evil and has no agenda for Igbo political survival in Nigeria.

But come to think of it; this party has NOTHING to show for 12 years of Igbo support.

NOTHING.

Methinks it is even a party cornered by the worst of Igbo haters!

So, let the mass defections begin already!

But the trouble today is that there is no “Nigerian nationalist” – that is those who genuinely believe that any good could come out of the idea of a genuinely just, modern, egalitarian, multi-ethnic and prosperous nation built on the enlightenment ethic as the visionary Nnamdi Azikiwe imagined it.

This is really the main problem.
I supported the decisive action because I assumed there are still TRUE Nigerian nationalists.
There aren't.

So, this Boko Haram thing may be the last straw to break the camel's back -disintegrate Nigeria.

I believe that the key words in this article are

National Assembly should declare a national emergency, dissolve itself sine die

I also believe that the President should keep a close eye on the military during the "sine die" period of the national assembly just to deal decisively with this Boko Haram threat.

Now is not the time for vacillation. It is time for action. 

[size=16pt]Boko Haram’s threat[/size]

By Obi Nwakanma

On Thursday, the militant Islamist group, Boko Haram took their challenge to the Nigerian state one notch up. They bombed the Louis Edet House, the headquarters of the Nigeria Police Force in Abuja.

As a statement of defiance, nothing could be bolder.  It is a simple statement of challenge: catch me if you can. Boko Haram is the most recent of the bones in Nigeria’s throat as a nation.  It is one other manifestation of anti-Nigerianism, based this time on a toxic mix of religious extremism and anger over social inequity. Let us here, try a bit to understand Boko Haram.

There are many pundits in Nigeria who say that Boko Haram is a group that reflects the upper North’s disenchantment with what it sees as the increasing loss of power by the North of Nigeria. It seeks to reflect what might be a central principle held by a faction of the political leadership from the North of Nigeria, that Nigeria as a modern nation must be governed by Islamic principles and under the umbrella of a worldwide Muslim Amir. It is, of course, an illusion but it is a serious illusion.

Boko Haram has announced its Jihad in Nigeria and its intent on causing further mayhem until its goals of setting up a nation under Sharia is met. For many Nigerians, this is a serious threat, and must be taken very seriously by this President. Boko Haram has basically declared war on the Federal Government of Nigeria, and it is important to evaluate the situation carefully in the coming days on whether to initiate A-grade operations in the North to root out this threat now or allow it to fester and create a growing, inoperable cancer. It is better now to excise the tumor before it spreads.

But I speak on the plain and absolute belief that Dr. Jonathan has the will to engage this threat without vacillation. I’d like to put my fears in perspective: over the years, Religion was made to become a central part of Nigeria, to the extent that government policy kitty-foots around religion. For many years, the Nigerian government funded religious pilgrimages to Mecca and to Jerusalem.

They created conditions in which religion interfered in the national political culture, and any action by governments to contain the religious debate was both ethnicised and politicised. The very idea of a Nigerian, secular state was challenged, and it was seen as part of the North-South divide, in which the north, often described as “mostly Moslem” was pitted against the South, also often described as “mostly Christian.” The nation remained a fiction of our imaginations.

As a post-colonial state, Nigeria has fuelled the divisive politics of difference to the extent that even those who marginally identify with certain groups feel a serious threat and a serious need to throw even if symbolic support to groups that “represent” them above  Nigeria.

If we must be truthful, Boko Haram must now join the group of movements that have frequently rejected the idea of a coherent Nigerian nation run as an organic and modern state. The defiance against Nigeria began from before independence. In the modern history of Nigeria, the first of these radical attempts to change the face of Nigeria by violent means began with the massacre of southerners in Jos in 1945 and the 1953 riots in Kano which targeted Southerners.

These were early precursors to what has since become the “northern tradition” of riots and purges that target Nigerian citizens particularly those originally from the South and newly-settled in the north. To date, including with the recent post-election killings, the Nigerian government, both under the colonial Brits and afterwards, has done very little about this. No one has ever been brought in, prosecuted and punished for leading mini-jihads against Nigerians, itself, by all definition a challenge to the Nigerian state under whose protection all her citizens dwell.

The second recorded attempt at a defiant movement aimed at Nigeria was in that plot by the partisans of the Action Group led by Chief Awolowo to violently overthrow the government of Nigeria in the first republic. Perhaps the most serious and most poignant of these movements aimed in defiance of the Nigerian state remains the Biafran secession, which unilaterally excised the Eastern part from the Nigerian federation. Fought for three years and with the loss of much life, property and stature, the civil war ended but created what remains today a reluctant citizenship; that sense of the half-and-half Nigerian.

In between Biafra and the restoration – yes, the second republic is the restoration of the civil order in Nigeria – were the military coups. These coups were defiant in character and aim, and they also helped to undermine the rationale for Nigeria as a coherent entity. Of these coups, the most destructive was the Babangida-Abacha era which introduced both religion and financial corruption at a scale never before seen in Nigeria up till then.

The thing about the Babangida-Abacha era is that it constantly provoked that strange feeling in Nigerian of a regime that set out deliberately to undermine the very meaning of nation as a Machiavellian strategy of manipulating and holding on to power. That power was cast in the image of the north.  Its lingering after effects have affected everything, thereafter. It created the terrorist state.

Among the movements that emerged in defiance of the Nigerian state include OPC, the storm troopers of the Oodua movement, the rabidly Yoruba nationalist movement; the new Biafran separatist movement MASSOB, the Niger Delta Militant groups, and now, Boko Haram, the north’s apparent answer to the anti-Nigerian defiance that seems to suggest that, as a principle, the idea of Nigeria is an orphan ideology, hated by many who wish to buckle it to the ground.

Nigerian nationalists have always been pitted against these anti-Nigerian movements.But the trouble today is that there is no “Nigerian nationalist” – that is those who genuinely believe that any good could come out of the idea of a genuinely just, modern, egalitarian, multi-ethnic and prosperous nation built on the enlightenment ethic as the visionary Nnamdi Azikiwe imagined it.

What we have today are “stake holders” – that is convenient Nigerians whose political and material interests are tied to the continuous exploitation of an “Abiku” nation. Perhaps this Boko Haram threat ought to bring us to our toes, for unlike any threat to Nigeria, Boko Haram wants to take over the power to govern Nigeria as a religious movement.

By attacking the central symbol of Nigeria’s law, it has declared war on the government of Nigeria. Of note is its link to an international terrorist network whose aim is the religious as well as political colonization of countries like Nigeria. Far more than any threat before in Nigeria, Boko Haram must be taken very seriously. It is important for the President to establish, not a task force, but a broad security initiative to check this threat. The time to act is now.

The Federal Government must stop forthwith any negotiations with any terrorist or separatist group who uses means, other than the legitimate means of peaceful political petition to seek change. If this President cannot do it, perhaps the National Assembly should declare a national emergency, dissolve itself sine die, and hand emergency power to the Nigerian Armed Forces. I hope we do not come to that as an option.

what is this screening nonsense sef? What about the ones they screened? Are they not all crooks? Thieves screening thieves.

LOL. Never thought that this gorilla is capable of talking sense. Good one.

I feel insulted and embarrassed as a Nigerian each time I read about this nonsense. You never hear of Ghana and other progressing African countries "screening" their ministers. Yet their ministers and government officials deliver the dividends of democracy and don't steal them blind.

This is why I hate Nigerian attitude to national matters. Our so called leaders copy things they either don't understand, or have the faintest interest in implementing fully.
Just continuing with their insult and deception.
Nonsense!

Posted by: Abagworo

This thread is complete rubbish.Nobody has ever said Benue is Hausa/Fulani.Some Yorubas are northerners while some Igbos are South-south.They owe their allegiance to their zone.Even a Yorubaman from Benin is not a Nigerian.

Jbenue is an illiterate for coming out here to deny the obvious just because of inherent tribalism.Babangida,Gowon,Abdulsalami have ruled Nigeria for 19 years and they are Northerners.Remember that Abacha is Kanuri and not Hausa.So when you add it up,the Northern minorities have held the office of Presidency for 25 years out of 50.

I personally would rather have alliance with Fulani man that is truthful than a chameleon from Benue.I also advice every Igbo man never to believe in this unholy brotherhood extension because they killed us mercilessly between 1966 and 1970.

The only true Southerners are SW,SS and SE.Kogi and Kwara Yorubas are not Southerners.

Simply brilliant analysis by my "lost brother" abagworo!  

This is my first agreement with abagworo in about 1 year.
Kudos bros!

I recall vividly during my youth service days in Ogun state when a fellow corper from Benue state (called Martin) used to brag about how "we northerners" own Nigeria. The guy was the brash and "to your face" kind of northerner.

He was more "northern" than another corper ( Mustapha) who was from Sokoto state. Mustapha used to be calm and reflective, while this Benue guy - a TIV- bragged all day long.  

Now, this one Jbenue is trying to escape from the north.  

Na Jericho wall we go take barricade una for Nsukka/Enugu Ezike axis so tey Boko haram go take dynamite wire una nyash.

The last excuse I heard about the non-exploitation of the oil in Anambra basin was that it is a "national reserve".
Pray then, how many "national reserves" do we have in Nigeria?

Somehow I think that suing the Fed govt of Nigeria over citizen rights abuse is a good idea.

I know that Nigerians have since given up on suing the government, but I haven't.

The more we sue them the more we make our case known internationally.

A day will come when someone will ask what we did to show we are being abused by Nigeria.

That is why this action is so commendable. 

[size=16pt]Agbakoba sues FG over neglect of South East[/size]

By Daniel Kanu (Lagos) and Emmanuel Nzomiwu (Enugu)

Olisa Agbakoba is back in court over a matter dear to his heart: the neglect of the South East.

The former Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) President has filed a class action suit against Abuja for himself and on behalf of the South East under Section 42 of the Constitution.

He filed the new lawsuit at the Enugu High Court eight months after he sued the Federal Government in October last year over the lack of infrastructure in the South East, demanding N1 trillion in compensation for the region.

The first suit, also filed at the Federal High Court Enugu, listed – among other things – the abandonment of the Niger Bridge and other federal structures, including roads, which Agbakoba said is evidence of discrimination against him and violation of his fundamental rights under Section 42 of the Constitution.

He cited Abuja’s failure to exploit the oil and gas reserves in the Anambra Basin and the attendant stalling of expectation of the South East for employment and derivation funds.

Three weeks earlier he had got a court injunction restraining the National Assembly (NASS) from further amending the 1999 Constitution without the assent of President Goodluck Jonathan, who eventually signed the Constitution into law on January 10, 2011.

In his latest move, Agbakoba also charged the  NASS to enact a peoples’ Constitution that redresses the imbalance in the Nigerian Project.

He warned that the nation is sitting on a keg of gun powder unless the Constitution is amended and all fundamental issues properly addressed with justice and fair play to the satisfaction of all zones.

The new suit filed before Justice A. R. Mohammed is supported by an affidavit and a statement which point out the marginalisation, neglect, and abandonment of the South East.

[b]Agbakoba expressed concern at a press conference in Lagos on Wednesday over the imbalance in the national structure and argued that every Nigerian is entitled to equal treatment. 

He cited the abandonment of the Niger Bridge, which may collapse, and the failure to build the second Niger Bridge, which make him feel isolated from other parts of Nigeria.

He noted the “abandonment of federal roads which are death traps and robbery baits and occasioning and constraining on (his) gruelling road journeys within the geopolitical zone.

“Failure to develop strategic new roads, especially the Anam-Nzam federal road linking the South East with the North Central in Idah in Kogi State to give (him) easy access to the Northern part of Nigeria.’’

On May 14, 2009, the Federal Government awarded contracts for the construction of the Enugu-Onitsha Road and the Enugu-Port Harcourt Road, giving the contractors 30 months to complete the projects.

However, five months to the November 2011 deadline for the completion of the 44-kilometre Enugu-Onitsha Road, which cost N7.2 billion, there is little on the ground.

An official of the Federal Ministry of Works in Enugu said Niger Cat Construction pulled out over unpaid debts.

The company has reportedly been paid N1.9 billion, leaving a balance of N700 million.

Federal Works Controller in Enugu State, Joe Onyejekwe, also confirmed that Consolidated Construction Company has abandoned the Enugu-Port Harcourt Road project because of debt owed by Abuja, likewise MIFE Construction Company awarded the Nsukka-Ogboloafor Road contract.[/b]

Again, that one individual adopts a school does not foreclose another adopting the same school.
Either way, this would challenge individuals (and even spur competition sef among rich folks), thereby sparing the larger community from constant levies for such projects.

Like I said, if the idea is implemented well, it will take flight. 

Individuals in Anambra like their names to be etched in stone over some philanthropic deed.

If that is done, they would grad them.

Also, the government can give contract concessions and other patronages to participating individuals.

If they don't participate, younger less rich folks would enjoy government attention ahead of the richer ones.

A na eme ogaranya eme, adighi awu ya awu. 

The idea is simply brilliant if implemented well.

Anambra schools would turn into billionaire schools in a very short time.

It is time our schools benefited from the successes of our sons and daughters.

^^

Seconded.

I don't know what they are all doing in PDP anyway; maybe they are eying national positions. So, APGA needs to upgrade.

That said, Nna Anambra nwere madu o! chei!

Imagine having to choose between Soludo, Ngige, and many others.
Soludo alone is an "ideas machine".

^^

No, they are not the same thing. This is a NEW idea because it is individual based and not community based.

Great idea!

Something tells me that we (Anambrarians) lost a golden opportunity when we failed to elect Soludo.
