Back to back today; first Laureta Onochie now Joe Ignokwe. One thing all these Igbo saboteurs do not understand is that u can't go far when u are seen as a sell out. Joe nwanne go clean up d drainage cos u really be gutter boy. U denied ur ancestral origin just be made adviser on how to keep d gutters clean. Upon all these humiliation if u dare travel d Ekweremmadu treatment awaits you

Xano:
There is a difference between Special Adviser and Comissioner.

TempleHouse:
They earned the same fat salaries and are entitled to a routine number of staff like the commissioner.

PennywysCares:
A position our dear Jeo Igbokwe deserves

excel101:
So he is now the SSA to the Governor of Lagos State. on gutter matters, very good. Joe Igbokwe congrats.

freeze001:
Commissioner, yes. SA, hell no! That role is one that a governor who has appointed you can choose to completely ignore and nothing can be done. It is not even a constitutionally recognised office. Can he as SA approve/award any contract or implement any project?

General0847:
Then why not make him commissioner of works or environment?

General0847:
Provide proof to that...you product of inbreeding.

one who is of igbo ancestry is igbo

whether he can speak the language or not is secondary

its foolish reasoning like this that make me tire for una sometimes

I can never consider an igbo person I meet less of an igbo person because he cannot speak igbo very well....

most Scots can't speak Gaelic yet they are still.Scots

most Welsh can't speak Welsh but are still Welsh

even the Irish/Irish Americans

Long story short
an igbo perosn is an igbo person

Ojukwubucket:
I disagree with u....Language is d first and most important identity of a culture/People...
Without it, u have lost 99% of ur identity/distinction
If there was never d Igbo language, would there have been any Chibuzo or Nnamdi or Chioma etc..
So tell me...without the language and the name, what differentiates u from other people?

Lagos State APC Spokesman, Joe Igbokwe, has been appointed as Special Adviser to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Drainage and Water Resources, Igbere TV reports.

Governor Sanwo-Olu had nominated Mr Igbokwe as Commissioner in the list sent to the Lagos State House of Assembly, last week.

Igbere TV reports that the Assembly had confirmed 35 out of the 38 nominees, with Igbokwe among those confirmed as Commissioner designate.

Many had expected that the Governor would announce Igbokwe as Commissioner during today's swearing in at the Alausa Government House, Ikeja, Lagos.

But shockingly, the APC Spokesman was unveiled as Special Adviser, as against the earlier announced Commissioner designate.

Joe Igbokwe had sparked controversy online over his “I am not Igbo...” comment during the screening exercise before the Lagos State House of Assembly.

The controversial APC Spokesman had come under fire, recently, over a mockery comment on popular Lagos motorbike hailing service, GoKada.

Igbokwe had mocked GoKada operators for shutting down operations in Lagos to rebrand and restrategize.

“Instead of partnering with govt on BRT, you invested “5.3 million dollars” in Okada business and expect that Lagos state will allow you jeopardise its muliti-billion naira mass transit investments.

“Call it ‘bike-hailing start up’ or whatever, okada na okada… it is not sustainable in a city of high density population Lagos”, Igbokwe had said.

The comment, however, did not go down well with many Nigerians lambasting Igbokwe and reporting him to Governor Sanwo-Olu.

Many Nigerians have reacted to the latest development, with many mocking the APC Spokesman for being “dumped” by the government despite his “overzealousness” and “eye-service”.

most Jews can't speak Hebrew

once you are of a certain descent
that is who you are
whether you like it or not

U r deceiving ursef bro...
Maybe u r one of those that can't speak their mother tongue... N it's a shame....
God that created the different languages knws y he did so..
U r a nobody without ur language...
N without ur language, u r a nobody...
I stand with what I said..n will still tell my bloodline not to regard anyone that can't speak the Igbo language an Igbo or a brother...

Ugosample:
You dud not answer my question

And your viewpoint is very worrisome

I speak igbo language and Yoruba and French

But as I grew up in Lagos
there are a good number of igbo who don't speak igbo

they are not less igbo than i am or you are

This viewpoint is worrisome because you are not the first to say it

You can never hear this kind of comment from a Yoruba person

freeze001:
Tribal bigot! What is the connection between this crap you've written and the op? I see how you hate money,well done.

WINDSOW:
IgboticFreeze, have u been online recently to witness the shame your Igbotic brothers brought on themselved- The Fraudstars FBI nabbed.

freeze001:
Yes, if they've done the crime they should do the time. That does not limit or reduce my Igboness in any way. No apologies either. I hope you are also aware of your fulani and northern brethren that are globally recognised as 3rd and 4th world terrorist groups. Murderers with demonic ideologies for a religion!
