Cuche: Visibly angry that despite all efforts to discredit Ngige, that the man still enjoys support from the people.
Why should people leave Obi's Ofala for Ngige's Campaign?
Obiano must win the election whether they like it or not.
A marching order to all Contractors, Traditional rulers, Bishops: Support Obiano, tell your people to do the same and be rewarded.

Beginning from next week, you all are enjoined to wait after morning mass as Obi's representatives will be greeting the people of Anambra across designated Churches. If you are within Awka, make sure you don't miss mass at St. Patrick. VOTE OBI ANO

Isn't it time u checked urself into a mental institution?.This might be the onset of schizophrenia,u know.Hearing voices,conversing with urself

Idi Amin: I have to respond to your observations because of your high sense of responsibility. Think about it this way, do you think Ngige will intentionally disrespect a traditional institution. The Ngige I know may be stubborn but he is a not that silly. It's either he was not aware of that ofala or the opposition set that trap for him. Let me ask you, if not for Nairaland, were you aware of the ofala festival?

Ofala that was scheduled since last year n he did not know of it?.
Why didn't he take a cue from his rival Obiano,who moved back his own rally to Monday?.Would it have cost him much to have shifted his to Wednesday,the 9th?.

Orimili state ko,Mbamili state ni.
The only state that need be created in Igboland right now is Anioma state n then be brought into the wider Biafra/Southeast region of Nigeria,should we finally decide to go the way of regions as federating units.

Why is there no picture of Ngige's campaign flag off?.At least chino has availed us of Obiano's own.
We've been told before that Ngige pulls the heavier crowd of the two,we need pictures to verify if that be true.

The most asinine post on nairaland yet.

chimchim1: U no gt sense oo. Wat industrialisation re u talking abt.
All we need is light, good roads and a condusive environment for industries.
A lot of biz have folded cos light n bad roads. He's bin tested n trusted.
Don't b sentimental cos of his current party. Just vote for right candidate
Frm any party.
Tnx

If u would quote me to start throwing insults,don't ever do so again ere Amadioha strike that ur pea brain.
Tackle whatever assertion I made that u disagree with.
Now Mr.Knowall,define "condusive environment for industries" that is adequately captured in this tissue paper called 12-point agenda?.

shachris03: Why do you say is deceptive when it is happening in other states? Imo state implemented it as has stood true to their words. Some western states has been running free educations for their students since 1960. Scholarships are ok, but the rich and highly placed would easily hijack that. Free and compulsory Education is the key. Ngige can make it happen.

U have comprehension problem,i swear.Quoted posters were commenting on his proposal to halve tuition fee in the state owned university,not basic education which is already free.

Clerverly: Okricha! Ga ree ahia gi! Maka na ntinyere gi anya ebea, isi gi agba utu. Nwa akwo n'azu, amagi na ije di anya. Mgbe itoputara nwa okorobia bia ebe a kanyi tugharia uche na ndoro ndoro ochichi. Hapu ino n'azu igwe ome ka mmadu(konputa) na akpo mu iyi.
Nke a okwu ikpe azu nge ekwuru gi ebe a. Mu ta ikwanyere onye toro gi ato ugwu! Maka na Ndigbo turu na iru is na, ugwu bu kwanye kwanye. Ka Chukwu mezie okwu! Onye nwere nti ya nuru ihe!

It's 'okuko ebu nisi amaghi n'uzo di anya',not nwa akwo nazu.
Again,Central Igbo is pronounced Igbo Izugbe not Igbo nzugbe.
No proof as yet to term u a Yoruba guy,but u do need more tutoring in Igbo.

Btw,there is no mention of industrialization drive,revenue generation n employment creation.
This is nothing but crap.It's not worth the paper it's written on.

Kingsley1000: “Local government elections
will be conducted in 2014

Local government elections are already slated for October this year.Is he going to annul the result n sack local councils already sworn in to pave way for new elections?.
How do one trust him to be faithful to this so-called 12-point agenda when he's already bn dishonest in 2 from the get-go?.

Kingsley1000: According to him, primary and
secondary school education,
ante-natal and other
healthcare services will be
made free if elected.

Basic education (Pry.1-JSS 3) is already free under the UBE scheme,which one is he going to make free again?.

figment232: 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria

Lie.
No such provision in the CFRN 1999,as amended

Livinus.c:
U pronounce dat name as an indigen of Osumenyi,ar u from dat side?.

Nope,I am from Nnewi.Uruagu Nnewi.

INNO18: I dont know what the govt intends to do with this vast last land right in the middle of the town

If that's Nkwo triangle,it's meant for a shopping mall.
I used to think u are from Osumenyi,not Nnewi proper.Where in Nnewi town are u from?.

Double post

kokoA: Am I the only one that saw "NECO" as the LP guy's highest qualification? I think INEC made a mistake there.

What mistake?.Do u know of any higher academic qualification he has?.Let us know if u do

http://m.washingtonpost.com/opinions/michael-gerson-pope-francis-the-troublemaker/2013/09/23/19084384-2481-11e3-b75d-5b7f66349852_story.htm
Pope Francis’s blunt, conversational,
subversive, disarming, humane, self-critical
interview in the Jesuit publication America
amounted to a sort of extemporaneous
encyclical. He is clearly concerned that the
message of Christianity has become obscured
by ecclesiastical moralism. “The proclamation
of the saving love of God,” he explained,
“comes before moral and religious
imperatives.”
Just as clearly, this pope intends to be a
disruptive force; the Vicar of Christ as
troublemaker. Rather than leaving his critique
in the realm of vague admonition, Francis
waded into controversy. “We cannot insist only
on issues related to abortion, gay marriage and
the use of contraceptive methods,” he said.
These should be raised “in a context” and not
“all the time.”
While the pope’s views on these topics are
orthodox, his critique of legalism is radical
and unsparing. The church must be more than
the sum of “small-minded rules.” “We have to
find a new balance,” he said, “otherwise even
the moral edifice of the church is likely to fall
like a house of cards.”
Many casual observers of Christianity,
particularly in the media, have found this
surprising. They tend to view religion as
identical to ethics. Remove the moral nagging
and what remains?
GALLERY
Tom Toles goes global: A collection of cartoons
about international news.
This betrays a very casual acquaintance with
Christianity, which was founded by a
subversive, troublemaking critic of
ecclesiastical moralism. During three years
wandering around the southern Galilee and
Jerusalem, Jesus managed to offend just about
every cleric he encountered, whom he
variously called “ blind guides,” “whitewashed
tombs” and a “brood of vipers.” True religion,
he said, is not found in obedience to the letter
of the law; it is an affair of the heart. And this
friendship with God often comes easier to the
simple, powerless and outcast — children,
sinners, women, gentiles and the poor. It was a
message calculated to offend legalists in every
generation: Ethical religion without love is arid
and misleading. Relationships — with God and
your neighbor — come first. Ethics arise from
a grateful and transformed heart.
Over the millennia, this strain of impatience
with legalism has provided Christianity with an
advantage. When the church becomes ossified,
legalistic and hypocritical — as all institutions
periodically do — it is the radical reformers
who carry on its most authentic tradition. This
was true of the original Francis, the one from
Assisi, who knew the power of a dramatic
gesture (he once stripped naked in the public
square to shame his materialistic father and
begin a life of poverty). During his recent
interview, Pope Francis was more modest but
no less ambitious. Every time he speaks, you
wonder what uncomfortable truth is about to
be exposed.
Those who hope that the pope’s reform agenda
is identical to liberal Protestantism are likely
to be disappointed. Many mainline churches
have distanced themselves from legalism by
throwing traditional moral views overboard
and embracing progressive causes. In some
cases, this has been a panting, unsuccessful
search for relevance.
Francis is taking a different direction. Rather
than surrendering the moral distinctiveness of
the Catholic Church, he is prioritizing its
mission. In the America interview, he vividly
compared the church to “a field hospital after
battle.” When someone injured arrives, you
don’t treat his high cholesterol. “You have to
heal his wounds. Then we can talk about
everything else.” The outreach of the church, in
other words, does not start with ethical or
political lectures. “The most important thing is
the first proclamation: Jesus Christ has saved
you.”
There is a good Catholic theological term for
this: the “ hierarchy of truths .” Not every true
thing has equal weight or urgency.
But this does not adequately capture Francis’s
deeper insight: the priority of the person. This
personalism is among the most radical
implications of Christian faith. In every way
that matters to God, human beings are
completely equal and completely loved. They
can’t be reduced to ethical object lessons.
Their dignity runs deeper than their failures.
They matter more than any cause; they are the
cause.
So Francis observed: “Tell me: when God looks
at a gay person, does he endorse the existence
of this person with love, or reject and
condemn this person? We must always
consider the person.”
This teaching — to always consider the person
— was disorienting from the beginning. The
outsiders get invited to the party. The prodigal
is given the place of honor. The pious complain
about their shocking treatment. The
gatekeepers find the gate shut to them. It is
subversive to all respectable religious order,
which is precisely the point. With Francis, the
argument gains a new hearing
That opinion piece says it all for me.

asha 80: it seems you are onground in nnewi precisely...where do you think the ordinary guy is tilting towards to?

Right now,a slight majority of the youth(at least,those I sampled their opinion) tilt towards Ubah,largely due to his spending.He's followed closely by loyalty n support for APGA(Obiano is still largely unknown,so APGA is positioned for prime post for when campaigns heat up n he makes himself known to all).Coming a distant third is Ngige.Truly,whatever popularity he has is on d wane now.Then again,there's the deportation saga.He's not going to live that down.
Funny thing,PDP does not figure in any of those whose opinion I sampled.We may be biding them adieu in Anambra,should they not be among d top 3 at d end of d day.A good thing,in my books.

obyrich: Polygamy is against her CHURCH DOCTRINE abi? Have you forgotten that Christ did not have to make anyone repent before healing them? @ OP please keep your prayer to your self. I pity the woman who thinks that your raucous vocalisation will solve her problem. Christ healed many people out of compassion not by their own merit. Self righteousness is more despicable to God than polygamy.

God bless you,my brother.
I do shake my head at our modern day,so-called 'christians'.Many they will be who Christ will deny on the last day.

akpomeme: Power is given by God. If Ifeanyi is choosen to lead his people nobody can change it. Heaven help those who help themselves.

Nkasiobi ndi aruru ana

slimghost: Onlylies, go and sit down one place. If the yardstick for supporting an empty tout like Ifeany Ubah is because you are from Nnewi then you need to reassess yourself! No sane true anambrarian would support a man like Ifeanyi Ubah to lead my beloved state. I 'd rather vote Ngige than this criminal!

Why waste energy responding to that tripe?.Ignoring his rants,I find,is the best way to deal with an airhead like him.

Dkobo: jealousy ebe ifeanyi ubah no!

Nwanne,je gbalu ogwu gi ñuo.
Why should I be jealous of Ifeanyi when am trying so hard to help him spend his money d way he wants to?.U aren't making much sense,u know.But for coming from Nnewi,we don't even have any other thing in common.
So tell me,why would I be jealous of him?.
Btw,u are yet to state whether what I wrote earlier on on this thread be true or not.

Ah,yes.The same rent-a-crowd that was at Ubah's campaign,will be at Ngige's or whoever's?.
Tis the crowd that votes Nov.16 that matters.

Dkobo: na jealousy go kill u!

Hahahahahaha.
Jealousy nebe?

ik4life: if you are sincere answer this,since you said you are one of the people renting crowd for him;the people you organized for the onitsha rally have they been paid,how much where they paid and who gave you the money to give your purported rented crowd?

Dude,u don't want to go into all this on a public forum with me.What Ifeanyi Ubah's campaign has done/is doing,starting from the voters registration period till this moment,is borderline illegal.U n I know this.Just do what u feel ur conscience can accommodate.Canvassing for him online is not so bad,just stop selling the blue butter that he's going to win or that he has any real plans to develop our state.He doesn't.He's in it for the money,same thing u are in for doing this.

oge101: I also heard that the people that attended his flag off campaign in Onitsha were not paid to increase the number, they actually came of their own free will, he is quite a popular man. But really why won't people attend after what this man has done for us (Igbos). I must say that his actions are commendable.
I conducted an assessment on all these candidates and to be honest, Dr Ifeanyi Ubah seems to be the most suitable for that position, he is not a selfish man.
What's your opinion?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBDsXXPX3Xs

Dude,u lie n u know it.Most of Ifeanyi's crowd are bought n paid for.I know this cos am a unit executive of one of the groups purporting to promote Ubah's candidacy.We know how much is made available for the rent-a-crowd n gotv operations.
This is not the place to start airing our linens,but u urself know most peeps are just there for the largesse he's doling out n are not going to vote him.I know am not,tho I be from the same town.

Donchyke39: If you were not in Anambra between 2003 and 2006 then consult your dictionary.

I was in Anambra 1995-2005,so.....define that word,please

eGuerrilla: @Sincere 9gerian,

Where do you get off describing a man who holds a Bsc in International Relations as a chronic illiterate?

Having taken time to watch his most recent video, I would argue that, while he is no Barack Obama, he speaks in a clear and lucid manner.

WTF?!
What B.Sc?.From which institution?When did he graduate?.

Bensonn: me a tout? Hahahahahahahahahahahaha, slimghost/chino/kingbang talking to himself again. Hahahahaahhahahahaahha, oya use another of your numerous accounts to reply this one, lmao!

Of a truth,your stewpidity is legendary.

chukwudi44: Bros the entire xtians of SS/SE/MB/sothern Kaduna/xtian niger/xtian adamawa/xtian bauchi will still vote in GEJ.

The yoruba xtians can continue licking Tinubus bombom for all I care

Erm.....am sure am not included in that ur combo,am I bro?.I didn't ask u to speak for me and mine,speak for urself.

Capital Cee: See let me tell all these stupid beings here, Ngige awarded and kicked off the construction of Nkwo to nkwo in 2005 it was only completed during peter obi's administration. So you will tell me when the road right in front of my compound was constructed. Look warrior or what ever you call yourself. Dont be a brute who is a kid? I tell you again peter obi never did anything for my ppl, he only collaborated with emma bishop Okonkwo to construct some roads in Ichi. If you dont know sometin keep quite and stop being insultive.
@asha if you say that Ngige did nothing towards the dualisation of onitsha owerri road then you are misinformed, with my two eyes i saw ngige came to my village near ogwugwu-oba inspecting the construction of the onitsha-owerri road. Stop listening to rubbish being posted by politicians on internet to decieve our relative not staying at home. Peter obi did nothing for us period. Ngige kickstarted the construction of nkwo to nkwo.

I tara akwu,k'otu eze gi di?.This shows u are really a kid posting on here.Nkwo to nkwo was done by Obi,even here in Uruagu where there's much grouse against Obi no one can dispute nor twist that fact.As to ur Onitsha-Owerri rd assertion,I laugh in Spanglish.
If u cannot come up with any other thing in support of ur preferred candidate,I advise u shut it than continue making a show of urself.

Capital Cee: i cant name a many of them, but i know some specific ones, there is this network roads along st. Micheals road in ozubulu linking nnewi in one side and bursting out to ihiala lga on the other side,theres one linking nkwo-ezulogu in Oraifite to uruagu in nnewi, that road is in a sorry state for long before ngige came in, there is another troublesome bridge before nkwo-edo callled ekulo, work has started there before when he was governor until he was removed, infact currently even with foot you cant pass there becos it was since abandoned. The federal road coming from onitsha heading to owerri,(according to ,my father, the name of the lga was derived from that road 'ekwusigo') the road has been killing people, even some of my kinsmen. It was that period he was ruling dt d road was biult. The general perception is that ''Ngige rulu olu oge ochiri''

The Nkwo-to-Nkwo road was built by Peter Obi.It passes thru my village from where am typing this.
As to ur nonsense about the Onitsha-Owerri road,construction was flagged off before the 2003 election.Get ur stories straight before u embarrass urself here
BTW,are u from Oraifite?.
