Respect nwifuru o,he was also speaker house of assembly before he became governor.

To navigate and be a speaker in a state house of assembly is definitely not a piece meal.

If a bricklayer could become a governor I see no reason why someone. Selling akara can't be President so Remi u are on track nothing wrong with what she said

Elzazzi:
Most of the nicest rich folks are actually from rich backgrounds

Exactly!

Someone like Davido for example won't tell you to mix 10bags of cement manually, he would provide a mixer. But you see people like this man? He go tell you to carry your shovel and start work because he don do am before.

yarimo:
Mr governor please you should remember your other friends in that picture

He will not, I promise you. He will not fail to sing the wicked man's anthem "Nobody owes you anything!" If they beg for support he will tell them they should work hard like him. No be Nigerian?😎

He still looks like a bricklayer though

That is why I tell graduates and educated guys who beg for money all the time to go out and find menial jobs.

How can you be a beggar and still decide that any legal job is beneath you..

There are building sites everywhere, but go to every junction in Lagos, you will see young men standing beside POS kiosks and waiting for you to withdraw so they can beg for money. Very irritating stuff.

Go to school, if you can't find a job. Start somewhere and work your way upwards.

You nailed it all 👍👍👍👍

Funny thing is that after getting your money from the POS agent, they will approach you as if you should hand it over to them.

They are bringing out all this just to justify the 'Akara' empowerment statement made by the 1st lady.

if you like take to any humble job available, if you like take to kidnapping, it's your choice.

The way you guys reason sometimes e dey shock me.you wonder if it's a state.try dey leave Nairaland once in awhile cuz reality dey far from u.

Freeyourminds:
Each time I hear the name Ebonyi, I wonder if it's truly a state in Nigeria 😂

This us why Africa will never grow... the very poor are in leadership today ...its a mental crisis ...they will always think and accept poor

Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru of Ebonyi State has come a long way. Many people dont know he was once a Bricklayer.

Here he is with 'leveling stick', chilling with his fellow Bricklayers on a building site.

How did he go from being a Bricklayer to becoming a Governor? The story goes that Nwifuru became a loyal aid to an up and coming businessman and aspiring politician called Dave Umahi

Dave Umahi would go on to become deputy Governor and Governor, and took Nwifuru along. Nwifuru became Dave Umahi's annointed political son and handed over to him when his tenure ended

Nwifuru is now Governor of Ebonyi State while Dave Umahi is Minister of works.

Even from the bricklaying job, God had destined him to be in the palace.

No one nose tomorrow

Umahi really help this man aswear

1. Loyalty pays
2. Don't be a jealous sould thinking you cannot make it again and the only thing to you can do it to pull down or harm those who are making it.
3. Nobody knows tomorrow.

Understand sarcasm.

Salako01:
And why is that. Ignorance or what. It a state and very big one at that with a lot going for it.

no wonder everything is a mess

He still looks poor... Poverty doesn't leave some people.. if he dress in old clothes u can bet he doesn't behave 200k savings in his account. Anyway. God is not man. Congratulations to him

His government lacks vibes, very dry.

But bricklayers aren't poor anymore though the bricklayers I know here have all buipt houses whereas so many civil servants haven't though their money can't be compared to that of politics own

Out of every one million bricklayers in Nigeria, there's possibly one 'Nwifuru'

I am happy seeing this kind of post
God be praised

princepee:
humble beginnings....
the guy ugly Sha, even with all the money .

meanwhile, the shoes umeahi left for him in eboyin seems too big for him....

one hardly hear anything about him or Eboyin this days

The man I am seeing in that picture is not ugly. He is a very handsome man indeed.

You must have s problem with your eyesight. Besides, if he's "ugly" in your eye, how good-looking are you?

E dey always show

Sonnobax15:

Ok na.

We don see am

Nobody knows tomorrow cha.

Another reason for bricklayers across all the 774 local govt areas in Nigeria to believe that there's always light at the end of every tunnel

Las las,do not give up. Keep on pushing on,until the day good life will smile upon you 🙏

Conclusion - everyone need someone to get to the next level, just be loyal. Kind and prepared for when the opportunity will arrive.

Funny surname...nwaifuru

Efuaye:
He is enjoying the benefits of his loyalty today!
Loyalty, a scarce commodity in Nigeria market or workplace.

Is there honor amongst thieves?Loyalty without scruples. Makes you wonder how one can suspend all good conscience and human compassion to be 'loyal' to thieving politicians. Sha, they must all be cut from the same cloth.

The man totally lacks the air &
presence of a big man ..

Poverty had already carved hardship
and suffering into his face, which N1bn
cannot remove
😄😁😄

chatinent:
But currently, he doesn't build anything. He is even happy to see that his people are like the north of the south east.

He is remiting money to his Oga...shebi for Nigeria una call am Anointed candidate

The last time the first lady advised that akara business can be a starting point they all went mad and asked why the FG can't give them all AI suit and tie jobs.

As a governor, he still looks like a bricklayer. Not that there is anything wrong with being a bricklayer
