Truly, d fight between your people and mine is getting out of hand and that's why I had a rethink and decided to back out. I don't want to see anybody as my enemy. I have lots of Yoruba and Hausa friends here in Anambra. I have decided to live a very simple life bringing happiness to peoples lives and that's what matters.

KANU studied Political Economics at London Metropolitan University. He is dual Citizen of Britain and Nigeria.

He is waging a war against both of his countries to right the wrongs of the past and create a new country for his people where Equity and Justice shall be the guiding Principle.

He is another savior.

PIGS & IDIOTS will not like this oh!...I just love this Afonjaa Joe Igbokwe

Waoh! Is this really coming from you?

Truly, bringing happiness to others and settling things amicably is the way to live.

Good for you

adadike281:
yes, its me. I gain nothing but bitterness each time I fight dirty online. Bitterness shortens life and why shorten our already shortened life? Why not be happy and let it flow out to others.

Bae, how you dey na?.. Daddy never wishes you evil, far from it. That's me being Metaphorical
In the actual sense, I meant you were being tortuted into repentance. I can see you a changed person with a refined mind. You would need to admonish your fellow Adas to follow suit. At least vacate the field for the men to do the battle

Nonsense, how can u be a bus conductor as a little boy in early 70's, big fat lie, who is ur driver, what was his name and where is he leaving now. Lier lier Joe igboekwehi naa si I said u are a lier, in case u u don't know many successful men in lagos has one time in their life been a bus conductor, Heeehn so u were doing bus conductor while ur brother was an importer of motor parts, brother fear GOD.

By the way since u and ur family are lagosians then stop interfering on Nnamdi kanu biafra matters.

Can't u be like the other Nigeria lady in British parliament that shone abike dabiri from referring to her as a Nigeria.

Because he did not join to lick GEJ's boots ass and because he refused to be involved in inter-tribal hatred like millions of deranged youths are encouraged to do today. That is what makes him useless in your own wonderland.

It's spelt "liar" not lier. Hatred has taken over your sense of education. If I ask now, u will say u are a graduate. Joe Igbokwe is a thousand times ahead of you.

Sagay212:


Which one be buttlicker for inside the story again. He has said his own story. Say yours and tell your ipod jesus to say his. I know you miserable ipods have no success story to tell. Hate and bitterness has made you stagnant and lavishing is penury. It is nobody's fault. You can have a success story to tell if you open your mind, use your brain and think. Stop running up and down after a jobless fraudster. Biafrau.d won't make you escape poverty.

NNAMDI KANU CALLED ME A HUNGRY SLAVE RESIDING IN LAGOS AND I HAVE FOUND THE NEED TO TELL MY STORY AGAIN FOR RECORD PURPOSES. I WANT NNAMDI TO TELL HIS OWN STORY TOO. PLEASE READ THIS:

In 1971, after my primary school education, poverty drove me to Lagos to find something to do to help my poor mother and siblings. Civil War devastated my father’s thriving business in Onitsha and we all suffered from 1966 to 1970 when the war ended.

With four wives and 34 children, my parents could not cope any more. My brothers and sisters dropped out of school to learn a trade. Because I was a little ‘sharp’ in school, my father encouraged me to finish primary school. It is needless here to recall how I and few of my siblings survived to finish our primary education. Consequently when my mates were taking Common Entrance Examination, I did not because there was no need to do so. No money, no three square meals a day, no good clothing, just nothing.

My mother encouraged me to travel with friends to Lagos. We landed at Sawmill Ebute Metta where I worked as a sawdust carrier at seven Shilling, six Pence a day. My job was to pack sawdust from the Machines to the Lagoon from 7am to 5 pm daily. I did this for nearly two years and later I became a danfo conductor plying Idioro/Ajegunle axis. From there I joined my brother in a supermarket business at Ijesha Road, Surulere. I did this until I returned home during Christmas in December 1973. I came home to meet my friends I was beating academically in school trying to make me feel and look inferior. Again I also noticed while in Lagos that if I fail to go to school, I may end up doing menial jobs meant for illiterates till the end of age. I decided to go back to school to add values to my life. But where are the school fees? There was nothing. How I managed to get the first school fee to start and what happened thereafter will take a book to do the narrative.

In 1979 I left Okongwu Memorial Grammar School Nnewi with Division One and was the school Head Boy. I taught in the same school as an Auxiliary Teacher from 1979 – 1980. In 1980 I got admission to read Mechanical Engineering at the University of Nigeria Nsukka and graduated in 1985. I did my Youth Service in Ogun State and thereafter I returned to Lagos in 1986 to begin a journey to where I am today. I walked the streets of Lagos from 1986 – 1988 until the then military government headed by Gen Ibrahim Babangida set up the National Directorate of Employment, (NDE) to encourage graduates to start their own businesses. I got a loan of N27,500, using my NYSC discharge Certificate and my Degree Certificate as collateral at 9% interest rate. I set up a Restaurant Business in Western Avenue, Lagos and hit an instant success. While doing this business, I spread my nets also to the auto spare parts market in Lawanson, Surulere where my brother thrives as a very successful importer. I opened a shop there and got a boy to take charge of the business. From there, I entered into Auto dealership in Western Avenue Surulere. I paid back that loan in full and collected back my certificates.

In 1995, I wrote my first book, Igbos: 25 Years After Biafra. I also established National Vision Newspapers in 1997. In 1999, I wrote my second book: Heroes of Democracy. In 2004 I co-authored 2007: The IBB Option with my good friend, Peter Claver Oparah. One thing led to another. I became an opinion molder, a public commentator, political analyst, writer and an advocate of the peoples’ cause. I bought my first car in 1990 and became a millionaire in 1995 after launching of my first book.

In 2006, the then Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, made me the pioneer General Manager of the Lagos State Infrastructure & Regulatory Agency (LASIMRA) and I was there for almost 10 years. I served Asiwaju’s government for the remainder of his days as Lagos Governor. I served His Excellency Governor Babatunde Fashola for 8years. In September 2015, His Excellency Governor Akinwunmi Ambode moved me to Wharf Landing Fees Collecting Authority Apapa as Chairman. I became the Publicity Secretary AC, ACN, and APC since late 2006 till date. By the grace of God I have been the Chairman of Conference of APC Publicity Secretaries (CAPS) in Nigeria since 2014.

These positions and exploits have put me in the limelight in Lagos and Nigeria since the early 90s, and God has been kind to me. These offices have opened the doors of the rich and poor to me. They have opened the inner ways,byways, subways, expressways and highways to the corridors of power in Nigeria. I have been connected to the pace setters, policy makers, the movers and shakers of blue chip companies, newsmakers and the powers that be in Lagos. The magic of Lagos, the beauty of Lagos, the dynamics of Lagos, the glory of Lagos, the momentum of Lagos, the capacity, capability and the strength of Lagos touched me in no uncertain terms since 1986 (32years ago) till date…..and still counting.

My sojourn in Lagos for 32 years has also opened my eyes as a historian as to what Lagos has done for my people from South East. Today as I write this Igbo do not have a quarter of what they have in Lagos in the South East in terms of investments. As I write this book, Igbo are the second most populous ethnic group in Lagos. Today, Igbo exert tremendous influence and capacity in Lagos and its success story. Few years back two prominent sons of Nnewi told me in confidence that they did not know they have been wasting their time in Nnewi until they came to Lagos. They said Lagos opened doors for limitless opportunities and endless possibilities. I have seen people come from other parts of Nigeria to hit gold mine in Lagos.

I got married in 1990 and all my five kids are all Lagosians and so are millions of Igbo kids born in Lagos. They have lived most of their lives in Lagos, schooled in Lagos, worked in Lagos, made friends in Lagos and have keyed to the Lagos success story. They know any other place except Lagos. Lagos is their home. This is not limited to Igbo alone but all other ethnic groups and of course Yoruba from outside Lagos. Lagos is a melting pot, a mega city, a cosmopolitan beehive. Lagos controls the heartbeat of Nigeria, its wealth, its influence and its strategic socio-economic and political hub. Lagos changed my thinking and original thoughts, Lagos emboldened me, Lagos motivated me, Lagos challenged me and Lagos made me. I can say no less. This is the story of Lagos, my Lagos. It is still unraveling, not for me alone but millions of other Nigerians, to the glory of God."

Joe u r one of the idiots n pigs answering Biafra name but fighting Biafra

Nnamdi Kanu is nt ur level he wants to engage intellectuals not idiots n pigs

Emilokoiyawon:


Yes o! Thank you my brother. I have been beyond busy. How are things with you?

Angeleena:
nonsense,butt licker...Joe Esau igbokwe,selling ur birthright for amala and red oil soup...soo silly...ur kids,eat amala,so we should stupidly clap and hail them? this is total nonsense.. telling us how,u became a wanderer, makes no point at all..

wanimo:
Nnamdi Kanu called him a slave and he ended up reciting how many masters he has served in Lagos State. For the past 18 years, your servitude has been unbridled.

You served Tinubu for 8 years and today Tinubu is a national leader of a party. You went ahead to serve Fashola who also served Tinubu with you. That's another 8 years of servitude while others are progressing. Today Fashola is a minister and you are still serving Ambode.... Probably another 8 years of servitude. Osinbajo whom you served alongside with has progressed to become Acting President and you are still serving. When will your servant career end

tinkinjow:
It's absolutely irrelevant what lagos has done to u or igbos generally. If nnamdi kanuso chooses together with the majority of the igbos to opt out of Nigeria so be it. That's the end full stop. It is their inalienable right so to choose.
Today we still have a lot of Brits venting anger on the Brexit vote but the majority have voted and that ends it. It is their right and freedom so to decide.
I don't understand what's the hoot is about with people exercising their rights and freedom.
Let the truth be told it's people opposed to the call to referendum that poses threats to peace.

BTW the same way u hv lots of igbos excelling in USA Gabon South Africa England Germany etc is the same way that the igbos are excelling and will continue to in Lagos Kano and abuja. So such arguments are pointless.

Let them go if they perish it's their call simple.
