ndu_chucks: Eze NL Gburugburu, Onlytruth, put a stop to this mess. As the Eze, you should be able to overrule anyone whose actions is blatantly unhelpful to NL Igbos. Allow Okija to contest and let him lose gracefully and if he wins, he'll be the choice of the people.

They've put you between a rock and a hard place and you must rise above the useless egos of many on this thread. Even if its the last action you take as Eze, it'd be a wise one. Nwanne m, you have nothing to fear. PointB started out quite well, but he has allowed the small power he weilds to get in his head. Please arrest the urgly situation now! I trust you can do it, this is no time to kiss anyone's arse, its time to act like a real Eze.
The ugly situation is clearly a figment of your imagination. Okija_juju is in breach of the rules, he failed to appeal. There are many leading Igbos who satisfy the rule, why must we make exception for those who fail? Guy, stop shouting your voice hoarse, no one is moved by you false sense of concern.

We remain strong and resolute. We must see the process through. In my opinion, Eze OnlyTruth or whoever succeed him can call for a review of the process. But as for now, we have election to run, and agent of confusion are advised to stand aside. Their opinion are as irrelevant as their presence.
PoliticsRe: Eze Ndi Igbo Online Election 2012 - Nomination in progress by PointB(op): 12:11am On Oct 23, 2012
Okija_juju: Simple..

Onlytruth should wade in... Remove PointB, UJChief and 9ja_i_hail..

Select an unbiased electoral chairman.. afam4eva or Dede1 would do just fine..

Let the electoral chairman appoint electoral officers and commissioners to aide in the election in the area of counting the ballots since we no longer have the electronic ballot system at our disposal..

Then set up an e
Edition tribunal for post election complaints.

Shikina!
OnlyTruth is a candidate in this election.
If you wish to appeal to the Eze Ndi Igbo council, I am sure you can find his email address. The the illusion that an unbiased electoral officer like myself can be removed from his position, is akin to a dog wishing for a taste of lion's liver.

Okija_juju, prepare very well for next election. Let me give you a tip - file a complaint at the the Parliamentary thread, asking for a review of the Electoral Rule. Perhaps that could help. But at the moment, the rules are what the are. That you were found wanting of very simple requirement is unfortunate. Again, better luck (read preparation) next year. You are disqualified, simple, and easy!

Further announcement,

The election is billed to start as soon we have another candidate accepting his nomination or at the expiration of the extended nomination deadline, whichever comes first.
If at the expiration of the deadline, and no other candidate step forward, the election will be held between the incumbent and challenger - may the best man win.

Volunteers to organise the cultural section handover are still sought. We are moving full steam ahead.

Umu Igbo,

Kindly exercise maximum restraint with the frustrated troll. Ignoring them seems to work best.

Our election is going on as planned.

Kindly turn your attention towards nominating our beautiful and intelligent women for the newly created but illustrious position of Eze Nwayi.

Meanwhile, I would also like volunteers for the Cultural inauguration of the Eze and Eze Nwayi at the culture sections. Our presence must be roundly felt. Those who are versed in the fine art of Igbo culture , especially those connected to Ichi Eze (coronation) should please come our rescue. Our Eze Ndi Igbo election should be one big cultural celebration.

Let's do it, together, in unity!

Seems just like yesterday, I cant believe its already time for us to gather once again and hand the mantle of leadership to "nwa afor Igbo ga na edu anyi".

I have also gone through the whole comments and I commend our able electoral commissioner PointB and his electoral officers, onye nwe anyi gbaa unu ume.

Also, "ukpo ekele" to our Eze ONLYTRUTH, you did so well. I never for once regretted losing to you in the last election, because you did so well all through your tenure, ihe gbasara ndi Igbo na amasi gi.

You are pleading Okija case, by remembering my past sins against you, even though unlike PointB, you dont hold grudges. How interesting.
Anyway, we have gone past Okija_juju issue. I will take all the insult, assault, and criticism, and indeed full responsibility after the election. If there is and inquest, trust I would be there to answer to the people. But as for this election, RULES ARE RULES. We can't bend them on the basis of emotion, and crocodile tears. That is not how principled people behave. Principled people don't flip-flop! They stand in what they believe in!

ogugua88: Shout out to Ifyalways. I admire your courage on this thread.

Some things:
1. I nominate Odumchi.
2. I believe Okija has the right to contest. No fellow human being can deem another's past behaviors as unforgivable on behalf of an entire group. I don't feel that way and I'm sure others don't as well.

Some conditions must be met, however:
A. Apologize to those you have offended
B. Make peace with those who were offended by his remarks. (whether they accept his offering or not is another issue)
C. Unlike others, he should be required to state his good intentions for brothers and sisters of Igboland.

I did not see Okija's past remarks so I can't hold them against him. If they true, however, then how unfortunate, but I do believe in people changing. I don't appreciate people holding on to old incidents and trying to make them current issues again. PointB did the same to me just last week or so. We're all adult men and women. It would be nice if we can act as such and construct rational solutions to whichever issues are plaguing us. If what he did is so unforgivable, then surely no one will vote for him, or at least he won't get the majority. Right?
lol. And you have just done the same to me. How ironic! grin grin grin grin
Anyway, I dropped it as quickly as I raised it, cos I was just been logical at that point in time. And the moment you explain, that was it for me. Fair?

PoliticsRe: Eze Ndi Igbo Online Election 2012 - Nomination in progress by PointB(op): 6:21pm On Oct 22, 2012
Let me remind us once more why we are at this stage.

Nomination was extended to enable better coverage and time for us to identify and nominate those to stand against the incumbent - Eze OnlyTruth is a general election.

On that basis, we are urging those nominated so far to step forward and accept their nomination. If they meet up with the guideline i.e poll enough nominations or default in case nominees will larger number fail to step-up, they will be polled.

I urge that we use the time dutifully in indicating our nominees. The rules were set to guide us, if it is deemed that they are not sufficient, there will be time and opportunity for us to amend it. But that time is not now; we cannot change the rules in the middle of the game. This time is for nomination. I fervently urge that we Umu Igbo focus on the task at hand. May God guide and bless us all.
PoliticsRe: Eze Ndi Igbo Online Election 2012 - Nomination in progress by PointB(op): 5:17pm On Oct 22, 2012
Let me assure those who made valid nominations after the re-opening, that their nominations will be reflected in the next update. The nomination will close GMT 23.59 on Thursday, and further extension may not be granted.

We are enjoined to nominate our favourite candidates before the time elapses.

Dede1: I had mixed feelings toward the recent turn of events with respect to electioneering process of Eze Ndigbo NL. Granted it is very innocuous exercise, it is very educative while uncovering the reasons Africans are a step behind the curve. It is very unfortunate to read that already closed nomination has been reopened. Rules, when adopted by a group of people, shall be followed to dot and respected even when such rule does not favor an individual.

I am mostly disappointed by the posturing of Mazi Okija_juju who seems to doubt his\her resolves on the issues of Eze Ndigbo NL. In one hand, he\she has been downright apologetic and in another instance he\she relapsed to manners that got him\her into the palaver in the first place. I honestly respect Okija_juju’s opinions on NL even when such opinionated endeavors go against mainstream.

There is no doubt forums provide arena for jovial jab of jokes but we must be very careful when there are contending interests as seen on NL where culture and tradition rooted in ethnicity appear to exert enormous pressure on the people.

Again, I am disappointed Eze Ndigbo NL electoral committee even contemplated the ideas of reopening the nomination process after it has been declared closed.
Your opinion is highly respected. But I must confess, your ill-timed decision to lead the charge from the trenches is partly responsible for the extension of the nomination time. We must necessarily find capable replacement for the very critical rearguard, when men of war decides that the vanguard is their preferred corner.

Nevertheless, the nomination rules has not been tampered with so far, as no specific time frame was given in the rules for nomination. Rather, it was stated that the completion of one event will necessary lead to the next. In anycase, once the top contenders (including you) accept their nomination. It will be needless to continue with the nominations.

As for Okija_juju, his duplicity is obvious. I won't be surprised if and when he comes back next year to shed another crocodile's tears. Perhaps we may finally have our own Buhari in him, at this rate!
PoliticsRe: Eze Ndi Igbo Online Election 2012 - Nomination in progress by PointB(op): 2:38pm On Oct 22, 2012
I like to thank all dissenting voices for helping strengthen democracy and rule of laws. It is indeed truism that no law is perfect, even though laws are meant to achieve specific purpose.

Our Eze Ndi Igbo electoral laws aim to identify Igbos who are proud sons of the soil, who are true to other Igbo states, and don't go about mocking, or denigrating people of our sister states. We are very proud of what we have achieved so far with this rules.

All, especially none Igbos, who are critical of the process are advised to expend their energy in other fruitful venture. The electoral team noticed the attempt to derail the process. But, of course, we know they have failed even before they started. No amount of vituperation, castigation, aspersion, or even crocodile tears will sway the electoral team from completing the task at hand. Again, for the avoidance of doubt, and for the sake of emphasis, Okija_juju is disqualified, and he stands disqualified. He is advised to spend his time building bridges among brothers, rather that leading a group of brigands to disrupt a process endorsed by the generality of his brothers. Eze Ndi Igbo Nairaland, is not, and will not be for divisive characters.

I am very optimistic that this electoral rules is in the best interest of Ndi Igbo of the current dispensation. And it will serve us well in future. Okija_juju, and all who wish to toe his line, should know there is consequences, when you mock people from sister states, or exposed them to ridicules.

We call on proud Igbos, who are their brother's keepers, and passionate about Alaigbo to nominate capable to contest the position of Eze Ndi Igbo Nairaland.

Please send in you nominations.
