Let us decide what we want. just stick out of it because your post reeks of ignorance.

PS: Judging by the type of men Nigeria is now breeding, I dont see any protest coming from those cowards. I leave it to Nigerian women to change things.

I agree perfectly with you. Treacherous cowards, of well known group, are incapable of protesting in any form, back-stabbing is much more easier.
But[b] Aba women [/b]are very busy with their husbands, and they are particularly happy with GEJ. Can Ekiti women take the lead in the street?

The following people nominated EzeUche,

EzeUche nomination will be nullified, if they withdraw the nomination, of if their nomination is disqualified based on the 3 rules. But it appears they meet with the requirement of the 3 rules. So their nominations stands.

1. Well known ethnic champion of rival ethnic groups nominations will be discounted.
2. Freshly registered posters nomination will have to be seconded by a old poster without bias to rule 1 above.
3. Posters whose ethicity/loyalty have been challenged severally by well known Igbo posters will have their nomination/seconding discounted.

@NRI Priest, does your nomination stand or . . . ?

NRI PRIEST:
@POINTB,EZEUCHE,should be disqualified. Reason; There a comment he made about the Aro involvement in the "SLAVE TRADE" which was very arrogant and demeaning. He foolishly boasted that the Aros where superior because they conquered a lot of Igbo towns and took people captive and sold them into "SLAVERY". He was asked to apologise for it but he refused and stated it makes him proud!! That guy doesnt have the DECORUM of a noble man!!  I will not regonize him if you guys go ahead and crown that fool!!
He is not remorseful about uninteligent and atrocities of his weak foolish forefathers who sold their fellow neighbors into SLAVERY and brag about it!!
Ezeuche,must me DISQUALIFIED now!!
If you crown that fool I will not cease to make mockery of you guys and constantly disrespect and insult him.

Andre Uweh and Onlytruth are our target.

Like I said earlier,the only reason why IFYALWAYS name should be there is only if you are forming an organization where you need a "chaiman" or "chairperson". I am of NRI lineage and our tradition reads against crowning women kings!!!

hmmmmn,
That is very weighty allegation.
How ever, he is has been nominated by many Igbo posters, who are may or may be aware of those comments. Nullifying him on that basis may create disaffection, and affect the unity we are trying to promote.

However, the only way I can disqualify him, or any one for that matter is if those who nominated him withdraw their nomination in the light of the above information. Otherwise, his nomination I cannot annul. My hands are tied.

On the other hand, the voter will still decide who win the crown.

Promoting the positive side of your candidates might also help them to win more nominations and perhaps the vote.

I will also advice you to desist from making threats, and channel your energy at promoting your candidate(s), as you risk been befallen by the same hubris you allege of EzeUche.

As per IfyAlways, my position has not changed. If she get enough nominations to be polled, it mean Ndi Igbo Nairaland want to have a female Eze. Do not lose sight of the fact that Igbo are far and wide, and are not limited to Nri lineage. We already have info on female Ezes which you may want to read.

afam4eva:
This Eze ndigbo go make sense.

That's the idea.

odumchi:
Why should non-Igbos be allowed to nominate? Dont get me the wrong way. It's not an ethnic thing but imagine Ghanaians voting for the president of Nigeria. . .

Anyway, I nominate, Ezeagu , Andre Uweh and Ifyalways (Ezenwanyi Ndiigbo Nairaland)  .

Nominations all pass through the filtering below:

1. Well known ethnic champion of rival ethnic groups nominations will be discounted.
2. Freshly registered posters nomination will have to be seconded by a old poster without bias to rule 1 above.
3. Posters whose ethicity/loyalty have been challenged  severally by well known Igbo posters will have their nomination/seconding discounted.

Any nomination that does not pass the guideline is discounted. Some nominations have been disqualified and discounted already. Thanks for the observation.

jmaine:
Really . .so you partook in the stainless rigging . . .rigging without trace or exhibits  . . 

What more can we say? When you lose, your opponent rigged. When you win, it was free and fair.

lwkmd.

Aigbofa:
^^^^^
This is wuruwuru. I will get a court injunction on Monday morning. This injustice must not stand.

Which part?

This is far from over. 
There would be surprises.

FURTHER ELECTION GUIDELINE PLEASE NOTE:

ONLY TOP FIVE NOMINEES WILL BE POLLED:
NOMINATION ENDS MIDNIGHT (GMT 0) MONDAY 5TH.

Anyone with brief profile of the  nominees can post it. They are most welcome.


DEALING WITH A TIE

Where there is a tie for the fifth spot, the electoral officer will give a window of opportunity for a tie breaker. To break the tie, the first nominatee (subject to the three rules) at the opening of the window wins the nomination.

CAMPAIGN AND SENSITIZATION OF VOTERS is allowed, and hereby declared open.

List of nominees will be available on Tuesday (Citeris Paribus),

Polling will commence on Wednesday, and end by friday

(This rules are not cast in stone, suggestions are welcome. Modifications will be done as exigencies require.)

The people deserves the kind of leader they get. Reflect deeply on your nominations, because the count and will be counted if you are qualified. At all.

lailaiwala:
that is seun osewa. !barf! is that even a yoruba name? osewa. i can't pronounce it. sounds edo or thereabouts.

chinenye removed himself.  i'm not sure he is Igbo, to be fair.  he might be from one of the minority eastern groups.  probably from the same place as osewa.   

commissioner pointb!

a point of parliamentary priviledge, please. i move that we adhere to oga chineye's request and nullify his nomination, and replace him with oga chyzzie who deserves to be on the roster despite being nominated by the chameleonic aljharem.  

i also move that since master ezeuche, although well-meaning, is still a babe in the woods who probably still plays with teddy bears, that we nullify his nomination using ojoro stipulating that only members who appear to be over the age of 30 be eligible for this honour. children cannot be chiefs of any group in this village!  

i think my 15% igbo lineage permits me to submit these motions.

ChinenyeN's nomination has been nullified as per his request. You have a case there concerning Chyz, but I am not very sure if your 15% Igbo lineage qualifies you to nominate him. At any rate, subject to no contrary opinion, the nomination of Chyz stands.

As for EzeUche, he is currently topping the chart of nominees, which means alot of Igbos in Nairaland approve of him and his method. Your motion to nullify his nomination is therefore overruled . Your suggestion that the honorable Electoral Commissioner toe the dishonorable path of 'ojoro' is greatly frowned  upon  You should therefore desist from making such suggestion in future.  


@ others, nominations are noted.

The nominee list will be updated later.

ekt_bear:
The main thing is they need to stop pretending as if Lagos is not the most populated state.

I would also like to see VAT and several other taxes collected locally rather that centrally. This would help a great deal.

They way you talk about tax and IGR, your should be working as a Tax Collector for Fashola or AregbeRascal.

But I wont recommend Aregbe, you might be getting slaps as salary.

Ileke-IdI:
@Post

Me nko?
I have more balls than those cats on your list

From henceforth, I am the eze of all you morafurckers. Plz bow, dobale, etc

Jk.

Of course, you have two big balls (well that is if they are indeed big and ball-like) up there. But that is not the type of balls we are looking for. And btw, before you turned up we were not talking about balls.

jmaine:
What an allegation . . .

I was part of the team of scientists that did the rigging.
I should be arrested!

Qualities and responsibilities expected Eze Ndi Igbo Nairaland.

Please let the above guide you in your nomination and voting. Igbos must put the best foot forward - Online, Offline!

Aigbofa:
Haba!! This is blatant tribalism. This is why Nzeogwu toppled the first govt. " We seized power to stamp out tribalism, " he said. I must protest this to the chief electoral officer!!

Naa, this is not an Nzeogwu's thread and certainly not tribalism.  
The chief electoral officer, fortunately is me. I have done my due diligence and applied the rules. Just three of them.

Oga, don't derail this thread, else . . .  

aribisala0:
no i am just suspicious about your neutrality.  you know big brother has to keep and eye on his small brother

lol. Why are you curious as per my neutrality; perhaps your are one of those who think they can read other people motives without consulting them.
No good friend, there are many Igbo poster here who I respect alot. I won't mention there names, cos you might think I am campaigning for them.  

aribisala0:
why is point B electoral commisioner
nairaland has a poll function why not use that

It does, but the poll will not create itself. That is why PointB is the Electoral Commissioner.
You want the job?

The nomination is still on.
So far, subject to the following basic anti-manipulation rule.

1. Well known ethnic champion of rival ethnic groups nominations will be discounted.
2. Freshly registered posters nomination will have to be seconded by a old poster without bias to rule 1 above.
3. Posters whose ethicity/loyalty have been challenged  severally by well known Igbo posters will have their nomination/seconding discounted.

Nominees may give a their consent/refusal, manifestoes, program, agendas, speeches, etc if they so desired.

NRI PRIEST:
@pointB,not a bad idea but dont you think this "Eze Ndi-Igbo" thing is becoming redundant ? Why dont we just find another title and give to whoever is chosen but he will still have the same power as an "EZE"
Like Oke Osisi Umu-Igbo,which I have already Blessed Andre Uweh with.
Or Ochi-Ora,Ikenga Umu-Igbo.
Now I think I have arrived at something; we should use the title of "OBI THE 1st OF NAIRALAND“
OBI OF NAIRALAND, instead of using Eze which is more of broader term and applies to true kings like  EZE NRI.

Very interesting concept you have there. It indeed has a lot of merit. But I don't know how many will agree with you that we should use those title.

At any rate, most oppositions against the the Eze Ndi Igbo has always been coming from the 'other side'. Frankly, I think, when they are protesting, it means we are hitting the right chord. lol

At any rate Ndi Igbo is not beholden to them, neither then should our traditions, practices and titles. Finally, Eze Ndi Igbo Nairaland is not a threat to anyone, and I will soon be coming out with the basic expectation of who ever is chosen. In addition to that, what is expected of Igbo Nairaland voters who vote for them will also be outlined.

Igbo renaissance is on, no stopping a moving train!

efisher:
Let the votes determine the winner but we all know that nairaland politics section 2011 was what it was because of Beaf. That you cannot take away from him. Capisce?

Gbam!

That is why we need o shop for consensus candidate.

I will oblige:


Lagos State governorship: 2015 Christian Agenda –1
On December 4, 2011 · In Frankly Speaking
Tweet


“There is no inequality which those favoured don’t consider that it is based on merit”.

Anonymous equal rights activist.

The Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, should start now thinking of a Christian successor to Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN, a Muslim, by religion, for 2015. Otherwise Christians should spend the next three and a half years, before the April 2015 elections, searching for another political party in which they will no longer be treated as second class members.

The conclusion, which also represents the battle line, if it comes to that, has been stated up-front before the overwhelming evidence for this demand for a fair deal for Christians in Lagos state is presented in order to avoid any misunderstanding on the issue.

The “Progressives” in Lagos state have for too long discriminated against Christians in selections for public office despite the fact that Lagos is at least 50% Christian. The time for redress has come. Not only because it is just but because many Christians have now come to realize that their votes have been taken for granted for too long from Action Group, AG, through Unity Party of Nigeria, UPN, to Social Democratic Party, SDP, Alliance for Democracy, AD, and now, Action Party of Nigeria, ACN the progressives have not once fielded a Christian for the post of governor.

Only the military and the “conservatives” have demonstrated the sense of fairness which the “Progressives” obviously lack to field Christians. By contrast, under “Progressives” the powerless post of Deputy Governor has been reserved for us – second class citizens – and in the last twelve years, it has been made clear to us that the occupant of the post is at best an irritant to the governor or at worst regarded as an enemy in the camp.

With the exception of Rafiu Jafojo, a Muslim Deputy Governor serving under Jakande, a Muslim Governor, no Christian Deputy had been allowed to serve a second term with the governor – for reasons best known to our “masters” in the “Progressive” parties named above.

That is an incontrovertible fact which none can deny. And let nobody be foolish enough to write to me and state that the party chose the best candidate each and every time. That will only infuriate Christians more and will be fully answered in the strongest language possible.

However, before proceeding let me clear some points which boot-lickers will want to raise. First, I have no political ambition; at least not yet. Second, nobody should attempt to read into this write-up an anti-Muslim declaration because that will be false. Like most Lagosians, on both sides of my family, there are Muslims and Christians – almost equally divided. I am also the grandson of an Alhaji and an Alhaja.

Third, the matter of discrimination against Christians, not only in the selection of candidates for governor but other elective posts, as well as appointments, in Lagos State, was first brought to my notice in January of this year by a group wanting to make an issue out of it before the April elections and asking me to join the struggle. I resisted for two reasons.

One, I thought the timing was inappropriate because long term readers of this column would recall my campaign against PDP. To attack ACN would have amounted to aiding PDP in its quest to “capture” Lagos ; and that was unacceptable. Cutting several noses to spite somebody’s face is not my style.

Two, Governor Fashola had done such a good, not yet great, job in Lagos, I strongly believe he deserved a second term to finish most of what he started – granted every governor, even if he serves ten terms, will still leave behind several unfinished tasks and projects.

So, I resisted the temptation to fight one of the greatest injustices in our country today in January 2011. Now I can wait no longer for reasons best known to some of the leaders of the ACN. I wont say more than that.

One final point before I present the case. This is not a partisan matter; in 2015, any party which fails to give Christians a fair deal, not only in the selection of governorship candidate, but other offices as well, will face a massive block vote against it. That is not a threat; it is a promise which Christians have three and a half years to deliver. Enough, simply, is enough….

BEFORE WE OCCUPY – 4

“6% of customers owned 88% of bank deposits in 2010 –NDIC”.

PUNCH, November 17, 2011.

And just in case any Nigerian cannot comprehend simple subtraction, the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation, NDIC, helped us out by pointing out that the rest of us, bloody suffer-heads, 94% or 158 million out of 167 million, had only 12% of the deposits in our account.

At least now we know those who are for or against fuel subsidy. President Jonathan is, of course, among the 6% — the guy who had no shoes can now afford to own a shoe factory, if he chooses. Perhaps he should go and establish a shoe factory in Otuoke. How can he possibly understand the problem of those still going without shoes?

Among those holding the 88% of deposits are Chief Executive bank robbers; ex-governors and ex-IGP, among big-wigs, who were left off the hook through corrupt plea bargaining by judges and prosecutors. They stole our money and they are allowed to keep the loot. Also among them are former governors who were allowed to make “refunds” by the Code of Conduct Bureau, CCB, after stealing their states blind! Some have moved on to greater heights too!

Last week, this column drew attention to the increasing body of literature pointing to the correlation between under-development and inequitable distribution of wealth in a nation. Nigeria has once of the worst disparities in the world. Yet, our leaders refuse to address this because if they do, the sacrifices they ask for must start from them…

WHEN TWO PHDS ARE WORSE THAN NONE

You have heard it said very often that “two heads are better than one”. President Jonathan, PhD and Reuben Abati, PhD have just proved that two PhDs might be worse than none. Professor Achebe rejected National Honours several years ago citing reasons. He again rejected it this year. The President and Abati got angry pointing to “reforms” which have nothing to do with Achebe’s complaint. Jonathan’s response was not surprising. But, Abati is now a problem. Whatever happened to that erudite and logical member of Patito’s gang? Has the Aso Rock disease claimed another victim?

The intrigue is just beginning. This disenfranchment of the people's favorite will be dealt with at polls.

Let the battle begin.

PDP made him forge certificate? Gani Fawahemi is of PDP?

PDP made him collect N2billion from Fashola monthly?

PDP arrested him in the US for drug crime?

PDP made him run foreign accounts while in office?

PDP this, PDP that. This PDP indeed is god!

@Ileke-idi
whatever your ethnic group want in Nigeria. Go for it. Just letting OP know we can protest not as Nigeria but as ethic group.

Awo was right.
"Nigeria is a mere geographical expression." QED.

Tell it to the Tambuwa-ACN alliance in NASS.

If at all we want to protest, it should on the basis of what the need of the component ethnic nationalities. Such.

Yorubas should protest none inclusion in in current government or monumental corruption of their past governors and other officials.

Igbos should protest against the balkanisation of Igboland (into into SS) and none existence of federal presence; a fallout of age long marginalisation.

hausa/fulani should protest the stifling of the plans to practice sharia in North, Middlebelt and Nigeria as a whole.

Middle belt should protest against been bundled as part of the north; against spreading Islamisation and killings by rampaging fulani herdsmen, fundamentalists, and terrorists.

Ogonis and Ijaws should protest against desolation  of their land and water by Nigeria and oil majors, the none passage of PIB bill and the frustration of the resource control agitation.

Efik, Annang and Ibibio should jointly protest the frustration of Tinapa and deep sea port in their territory by element of Nigeria tribalism who are frustrating them due to civil war saga/fallout. Protesting against the ceding of bakassi by Obj a Yoruba is yet to be done.

Kwarans should protest against hausa domination in a majority yorubaland.

Bini should protest for or against their Yoruba lineage.

you see OP we are not cowards, we simply have our different priorities in this contraption and would not waste energy on mundane affairs like football.

Araba!

What exactly are we protesting for? That our boys lost matches? Nonsense.

that administration is bad? Another nonsense talk?

because other are protesting worldwide?
Just say so. In any case that another nonsense.

cause not worth it. WALK ALONE!

Crocodile tears. Lwkmd

The only northern candidate that is acceptable to the south in that list is David Mark.

Power goes to the East or David Mark. Enough said.

Ojukwu wanted to do this, Aluko said no do it this way. Ojukwu wanted to do that, Aluka said no, this way is better.

Then Aluku gave his 'secret' number to the enemy. Did he also 'obtain' Ojukwu permissIons for that?

So many things are wrong in this 'akuko' Aluko. When he is not taking credit for Ojukwu's initiatives, he is justifying his treachery. When he is not revealing his secrets, stirring up sentiments in the eastern region.

Prof. Aluko is either senile or outrightly treacherously mischievous.

@Kilode
to ascertain your 19% Igbo and 5 container chaims, can you send me blood and tissues sample for DNA analysis and certified copy of your shipping documents.

lol

Thanks emmke
if asha meets the nomination she would be polled. Beside it is difficult to ascertain the se.x of the posters. Putting m or f in front of your name gives a fair idea but knowing the cyberworld, it is not conclusive.
