All south east governors are doing great, except that of Abia state

Lienus MBA. Otti of Abia is the best of the lots, followed by the grammarian of Enugu, before the Omachancha of Anambra, the Supreme Court governor and in the not too distant fifth, we have Mr Carpenter of Ebonyi

All the best to them

The veil about Peter Obi have been unveiled. We are yet to see which story he Peter Obi or his supporters want to tell Nigerians that they would buy

He will simply ask a rhetorical question! Is $1 to N1650 good?

Let's make no mistake, Atiku Abubakar is a very powerful and influential politician in Nigeria who ought to have become Nigeria's President if not for his serial political miscalculations. I have sat down several times to study Atiku's political journey and at a point I felt pity for him, and also felt in my heart that his political misfortune could be a reward of his disloyalty and political arrogance of believing that he is better or bigger than other politicians, especially those from the Southern part of Nigeria. In life, if you want to become a great leader with good followers, you must be humble and loyal to your current leader no matter his or her age, this is where I give Bola Tinubu an A, truth must be told. Atiku failed in this regard by not being a good follower of his leaders that came from the South. First was his disloyalty to his boss Obasanjo, followed by Jonathan, now let's dive in deeper.


Atiku made too many political mistakes and miscalculations out of the arrogance that he was a rich and influential Northern politician.


Atiku's first political mistake was shielding his sword after drawing it out against his own boss OBJ. In politics and power tuzzle, once you declare war against a bigger political figure who now happens to be the President of the nation, don't ever go back, finish him up and take over if not, you are gone for real if he survives your attack.


Atiku already defeated OBJ in 2003 and was on his way to becoming PDP Candidate before OBj went and knelt before Atiku begging him to allow him finish his second tenure, that he would hand over power to him. Atiku being a naive politician accepted this after humiliating his own boss, the sitting President to kneel before him, he still expected same man to hand over power to him, who does that?


That was Atiku's mistake number one. He shouldn't have listened to OBJ's pleas, he should have went ahead to seize the PDP ticket and he would have completed OBJ's tenure.

After that mistake, Atiku still didn't learn. He was romancing with Bola Tinubu that Obasanjo knew was a future political threat in Southwest, Obasanjo was removing all the Governors in Southwest, replacing them with his political loyalists, when it got to Lagos, Tinubu went to Afenifere, Yoruba elders and Atiku begging them to intervene on his behalf, they all begged Obasanjo, Atiku being the one in charge of the PDP rigging mercenaries spared Bola Tinubu who happened to be his secret political ally in Southwest he was hoping would help him become President in future. If Atiku had allowed Obasanjo to finish Tinubu by removing Tinubu from Lagos, there wouldn't have been a Tinubu failing President today.


Atiku being a very naive and clueless politician continued in his political miscalculations again in 2014 when he led and sponsored a Northern political revolt against Goodluck Jonathan, his biggest mistake.


After Jonathan, the next biggest politician in PDP then was Atiku Abubakar and it was clear that after Jonathan, Presidential power was returning back to the North. If power remained in PDP and Jonathan completed his tenure and power went back to the North based on PDP's unofficial zoning agreement, who else was in the position to fly PDP ticket in the North if not Atiku? But being an impatient, naive and a bit arrogant politician, Atiku led Northern politicians under PDP to join APC, a party with 3 prominent politicians that were desperate to become President, namely; Buhari, Kwankwaso and Tinubu.


How did Atiku even believed he was going to become President under APC? So he believed that after Buhari finished 8 years tenure, Southern politicians would sit idly and watch him another Northern Fulani man collect the APC ticket to continue from Buhari because Southerners are fools but he decamped from PDP he founded just because he and others believed that Jonathan wanted to cheat the North by contesting the second time instead of allowing a Northerner to fly the PDP ticket?



And as a serial miscalculator again, the same Atiku repeated the same mistake in 2023 by picking Okowa instead of Nyesome Wike as his running mate. I know he was scared of Wike's arrogant, disloyal and untrustworthy personality to avoid having a powerful disloyal Vice like he did to Obasanjo should he win, but in politics, you go for the winning first and after that you start talking about putting your house in order. Though even if Atiku had chosen Wike as running mate, that wouldn't have guaranteed him a win because Bola Tinubu did not win, he only managed to buy INEC over as a result of Buhari's indecision and indifference on what to do, so even if Atiku picked Wike as running mate, Tinubu and INEC would have still did their dirty job but Wike would have given them a tough time and a fierce opposition to give Atiku another greater chance to repeat the same ticket in 2027 with a better chance of emergence if you factor in Tinubu's massive failure since he got sworn in as President

If not for your last paragraph, I would have agreed with everything you said!

These Igbos are comedian. Paid Azuka Okah to organize a group called Akiko Uwa, hired actors, publicise it on the Internet and claim it's Igbanke people

They're all over social media debunking it. Igbanke has always insisted that they're not Benin by ethnicity. They've always insisted that they're Ika. The Igbo expansionist movement led by Nna Meh TV, Spirit Almighty and the rest contracted Azuka Okah and formed the akiko Uwa group which They've used for propaganda for a few years now. There's lots of sponsorship coming from certain Igbo people and Ned Nwoko was also involved. We've infiltrated their groups and I have a lot of information into what's actually going on. Expansion and access to the sea in eventual biafran independence. They're willing to go to any length to achieve their dreams. We the indigenous Ika people are watching and we'll act proactively because we won't permit anyone to play politics with our identity

Biko, does Ika have access to the sea?

Let's see who go get the chunk of the votes

Which SW and NC are in the bag?. with this hunger in the land?. The only state Tinubu can win in the NC without rigging is Kwara State. In SW, he knows, aside from rigging, he cannot win Lagos, Osun and perhaps, Oyo

Some stupid men? Many stupid men will support her.

There was this story that happen in an office close to mine. The man has just 7 months to retire and get his gratuity and all benefits.

There is this girl in his office that they were very close. They play all sorts of play. No one knows if they were knacking themselves but they were very close. The man dey playfully touch her boobs and ass for office , na normal thing for them, she took dey play sexual play with the man. This has been going on for years ooo and everyone knows.

One morning , the man playfully touch the girl ass as usual, na so the girl change am for the man o. Before you know it she don escalate sexual harassment to head office, before you know it HR don send the man mail ooo before you know it them don sack the man o.

All benefits and gratuitiy gone to the mud after working for almost 30 years. The total amount the man was suppose to be paid was abt 60 to 70m na so them sack the man with nothing o.

Even me whey no dey work for them office whey just be their neighbour, I know say the girl and the man dey very close.

That how the man lost everything and went home empty handed.

For you young men, if una like make Una hear, if una like make Una no hear. Na body go tell you. Flee from having any sexual relationship with any woman in your place of work, it is very risky and dangerous. Women are too emotional, if you offend than, they can bring you down in just one mins without even thinking it twice.

A word is enough for the wise.

Setup from management!

Soludo is correct, it is 68km i.e 34km*2, it is dual carriage way.

We see all Igbos as Isuoma. They remain so.

You have been corrected!, if you choose to wallow in ignorance, it is not my cup of tea.

I am from Omambala, our next door neighbour at Enugu referred to us as Agbaenu and we call them Wawa. Similar to Ikwerre calling old Imo neighbours Isuoma.

To enlighten you, we were clans of mutually intelligent languages and not Igbos as we know it today before the advent of the colonialists.

Omambala people had minimal contact with Ngwas, Ikwerres etc before the colonialist. Our interactions were westward to Benin and northwards to Igala

Kreesxxx:
99.999% of Ikwerre deny Igbo identity. If there is any ikwerre you know call him Igbo he can injure you. To him you have indirect called him a slave. This is the crux of the matter. If Ikwerres are Igbos from time immemorial they won't call them Isoma. Ikwerres deny Igbo before the war, during the war and after the war.

Igbos are not Isomas as Ikwerre believe. Isoma is a dialect of Igbo like Ilwerre, and they were neighbours of Ilwerres.

Very ignorant statement there. Your struggle of biafra Failed cos they wanted to invade southwest but was stopped at Ore, in Ondo state.

Sharia will never and can never work in southwest, Nigeria rather burn to the ground for that to happen.

All you foolish alfas and religious fanatics clamoring for Sharia law will be disappointed.

The southwest has been marked as a battlegroung btw the Igbos and the Fulanis, a lot of Yorubas might not be aware of this.

While the marauding igbos are using trade and drug money as incursion into Yoruba land, the Fulanis are going about with religion with help from bastard alfas and Muslim fanatics from Kwara state as their tool. The unfortunate thing is some Yorubas are enablering tools in their hands. They will all fail eventually

We went to our country in 1967, it was the connivance of Fulani and Yoruba that brought us back to Nigeria, why are you complaining about our presence in the so-called one Nigeria?

The Igbos do not want further balkanization of South East. Im from Enugu but I do not support Adada state and most Nsukka people don't want it either. Only politicians want it.
What we want is Anioma state. That will open the south-western frontier of Igboland and put an end to unnecessary identity crisis within our ethnic nation.

Obviously Anioma is our priority, the second should be ENOA State that will join Oyigbo, Etche & Omuma LGAs of River State with Abia South Senatorial District with capital at Obehie.

The caption is wrong. The caption mischievously presents Anambra as the only culprit here. As a matter of fact, the people that stole and sold the babies are Ondo people. I don't mean to say that Anambra people are not involved in the crime. My point is that the caption is mischievous.

The caption should be:
"Children stolen from Ondo by Ondo People Recovered from Anambra People in Anambra".

Obiora Okonkwo Re-energizing Opposition in Anambra State Ahead of November Polls

...An Earthquake Waiting to Rupture Soludo

By Dr. Fredrick Onwudiwe

One major topic that has remained popular among politically exposed individuals and pundits in Anambra State is whether opposition politics is dead in the state. The absence of a formidable opposition since the demise of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah has raised concerns about the possibility of Governor Soludo being gifted another four years of turmoil, marked by bloodshed and the continued destruction of the state economy.

The paralysis of opposition in the state is a disturbing departure from its traditional role as a democratic watchdog and advocate for the masses. Anambra today is drowning in crises, with insecurity chief among the numerous challenges plaguing the state. Hunger, poverty, violent crimes, communal clashes, and unemployment—leading to youth restiveness—have taken root. Meanwhile, Governor Charles Soludo appears indifferent, seemingly presiding over the suffering of the poor while displaying a lack of effective leadership.

The unfortunate situation engulfing Anambra has stifled its economic potential and human capital development. A recent report revealed that Anambra, once hailed as the safest state in Nigeria by former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, is now the most unsafe in the Southeast, with levels of instability surpassing even the troubled northeast. This alarming trend has become a significant concern for stakeholders, traditional and religious institutions, business communities, and discerning citizens. Yet, the near-collapse of opposition politics has blurred the hope of millions for a rescue from this governance crisis.

The speculation surrounding Professor Obiora Okonkwo, Chairman of United Nigeria Airlines, joining the All Progressives Congress (APC) to contest for governor has sparked a sense of relief. The Ogidi-born, Russian-trained political economist and academic professor of entrepreneurship has re-energized opposition politics. His potential candidacy has reignited discussions about finding a leader capable of steering Anambra out of its current challenges ahead of the November gubernatorial polls.

Several aspirants are preparing to challenge Governor Soludo, whose leadership has been marked by numerous failures—chief among them, his inability to secure the lives and properties of citizens. However, Professor Okonkwo stands out as the most competent candidate to turn the state’s fortunes around. Anambra, once a thriving commercial hub and the gateway to the Southeast economy, now faces worsening insecurity and economic decline. This crisis calls for a leader with vision, integrity, and the political will to restore stability and prosperity.

Professor Okonkwo’s extensive network, impressive resume, and expertise in national security, combined with his ability to unite stakeholders and institutions, position him as the ideal choice to replace Soludo. His leadership promises to revive Anambra’s glory, ensuring safety, development, and economic growth.

Security is the bedrock of development, and under Soludo’s impotent leadership, Anambra teeters on the brink of collapse. The state’s instability now threatens the entire Southeast region, underscoring the urgency for decisive leadership change. Professor Okonkwo’s high-profile consultations with stakeholders, industrialists, traditional and religious institutions have brought a renewed sense of hope to the electorate. These engagements signal a shift in momentum, with many believing that a brighter future for Anambra is within reach.

In my political analysis, none of the other aspirants vying to unseat Soludo possess the capacity to succeed—except Obiora Okonkwo. His pedigree, network, integrity, and accomplishments, both professionally and personally, are unparalleled. While others may carry baggage in their bid to challenge Soludo, Okonkwo represents the earthquake capable of dismantling Soludo’s reign of terror and bloodletting.

According to Okonkwo, Soludo is a professor of "theory" who has failed to translate his academic credentials into impactful leadership. In contrast, Okonkwo is a practical professor determined to change the narrative that academics make poor leaders. As a businessman with over 2,000 employees, he understands the demands of governance, particularly in security and economic growth.

Unlike Soludo, Professor Okonkwo is a true “homeboy” who understands what Anambra needs in today’s fast-changing world and 21st-century economy. His personal integrity and success in wealth creation will inspire stakeholders to invest in the state’s growth. Soludo, on the other hand, has nothing to show, as he has never built anything—a reflection of his failure as governor.

For the opposition to effectively unseat Soludo and rescue Anambra from its ongoing crisis, building a strong consensus and coalition around Professor Obiora Okonkwo is crucial. Soludo is deeply unpopular and unlikely to secure a second term on his own merits. Instead, he relies on federal support to extend his ineffective leadership while deflecting blame for the insecurity, economic stagnation, and mass suffering plaguing the state.

As the search for a successor to Governor Soludo intensifies, a growing number of discerning voices strongly believe that Professor Obiora Okonkwo embodies the leadership qualities and vision needed to steer Anambra toward progress. With a track record of competence, integrity, and commitment, he is seen as the ideal candidate to address the missteps of the current administration and chart a more inclusive and forward-thinking path for the state.

Should he choose to run, Professor Okonkwo’s candidacy could serve as a rallying point for those seeking true liberation for Anambra from Soludo and his cohorts.

Dr. Onwudiwe is a lecturer, political scientist, and analyst based in Onitsha.

Good candidate no doubt, but Anambra South must complete 8 years as agreed before power will return to Anambra Central.
