Mccollins042:
brother i am from Enugu and live in enugu, ugwuanyi has done nothing in Enugu, even to maintain roads that chime built is a problem

You have a personal problem with him and dis will always make u blind of his achievements.
May be you need the likes of Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State and Rochas Okorocha of Imo State as ur governor in Enugu.


To us all unbiased people of the Eastern Nigeria, Gburugburu has done relatively well.

MxreR:
Enugu is a useless state. There's no opposition in that state, no wonder the gov failed to do even a project in his wasted 4yrs

Who is feeding you with this trash that the man did no project in Enugu?

Have u bn to Enugu State before?

RoyalUc:
You are intelligent!

Thank you for the compliment, and you have an open and teachable mind. You will go many high places.

RoyalUc:
Have you ever done anything 'stupid' before, probably under intense emotions?

My brother, anything u do with gross negligence of ur life amounts to stupidity and foolishness.

In this case, the guy's action was not spontaneous. He bet to bath, swim and drink gutter water. So he took this decision even when not triggered by the joy of winning.
This goes a long way to show u the value he attached to his life.

There are better "stupid" ways to celebrate than this that may affect ur life.
My brother, that guy has little value attached to his life.

RoyalUc:
So you are more 'human being' than he is?

No man is more a human than the other.
But a man can make his life worth more than the other man's life.
The way u treat ur life shows how much you value it and that is how others will value it.

Consider two guys that bought the same very expensive car of the same quality the same day.
One may decide to drive his more rough than the other. Hitting and scratching the car on almost every outing.
Does it make that car not to be a car. It is still a very expensive car but with less worth or value.

We are all human beings, but wen u start treating ur life carelessly, the value of ur life will drop.

RoyalUc:
Everyone knows he did something stupid but to talk as if your life is worth more than his isn't right

What are u talking about?
If I can swim, bath and drink gutter water and you finds it irritating and cannot do same, It means u value ur life more than I value mine.
Invariably, it means that ur life worth more than mine.

Nteogwuija:
Na him get that bicycle?

Dem for buy Cheese balls and Bobo drink join am naa.

Here in Enugu, Asata Area light comes around 9 or 10 every morning can stay like 2 to 3hr, goes of come back again around 2pm goes off around 5pm resumes bw 7pm and 8:05pm stays till 7 or 8am the next morning.

Can't remember a night we sleep without light here.

Whether he stays or leaves, it has no effect on the Igbos and we should stop complaining. Even the guy is a rubber stamp CBN Governor.
Is he even bringing CBN money to the East? Has he made any policy that changes the economic status of Ndi Igbo in a positive way. I don't kw why we should cry much on this.

If his tenure is over, let him step aside. After all someone stepped aside b4 he took over the seat.

Charmingrascal:
You call that collar bone nice? Stop the joke bra

No mind am. Na so dem dey praise all these their celebrities until they start dressing out of fashion.
If bn beautiful is having that kind of sick and hunger ridden looking collar bone, abeg God make I remain ugly.

simplyhonest:
stop judging people... she can wear what she wants

What is judgement there? She wore it and posted it so that we can appreciate her outfit.
Different people have different view of a particular thing.
Her attire may appeal to ur taste of fashion while it may not appeal to mine.
So if u expect to have everyone saying that they like ur attire it then means u are a fool.

U should grow to the level of knowing how to manage both good and bad compliments.

To me she looks more mad than the guy said.
She looks like a mad "farm weeding instrument".

The same strategy they used to win the Presidential election.
They threatened to kill any Political thug that attempt to snatch ballot box.
This threat made PDP think there won't be any form of thuggery thereby withdrew their own thugs while APC used the opportunity to flood their thugs on all PDP stronghold Polling Booths.

Which one do u want?

Car
Motor
Vehicle
Ride

I thought they said that the international bodies have no say in what happens in the Federal Republic of Nigeria as a Sovereign State.

Now the international bodies accepted that the election was free and fair, they can have say in a sovereign country.

Akuko nshi. Mtcheeewww

Have u heard of Dr. Agnes Nwanma herbal tooth powder.
Use it and u will never know any mouth odour again.

Pls this is not a joke.
It is just N100 a cup.

This is a version of Fulani herdsmen attack in animal kingdom.

Bubu is aware of what is happening there.

I beliv those goats are Christians, the attack is to islamize those Christian goats.
Na waoo... this country do tire me oo.

chiommy123:
They call her China white I've forgotten her real name Igbo teacher for senior students Trans ekulu girls Enugu. She's a nice woman though but she can flog for Africa and she brags about her flogging skills

Lol... A female teacher that can flog very well... Hmmm she's talented oo

Now that APC has succeeded itself, let's see who they will be blaming again.

amaniro:
Actually they didn't. Now they've shot themselves on the leg cause Buhari is not going to give them any juicy appointment.

We do what we do as a result of who we are!

We are Igbos, and proud of it. No apologies.

Igbos are not united!
Igbos are not united!

It was the same people who sell you the stereotype that Igbos are not united that came out, to fight the unity of Igbos at Okota/Ago, other parts of Lagos and Igbo land in general.

Seeing that their narrative is failing, they are now selling another narrative. They are saying Igbos are putting all their eggs in one basket.
How can the whole of the Igbos vote PDP?
Now we are being accused of not being divided enough to spare some votes for APC. Olee ihe emere ya adi uwa mma?

A little history will suffice. We are an egalitarian society. Indirect rule didn't work with Igbos. It worked well with the North and the South West but not with Igbos. Warrant Chiefs didn't help matters either. So really, Igbos are not political lots. Same reason voter aparthy is highest in Igbo land.

But when we take a political stand, we speak with one voice. That is who we are.
We have always done. We did it with Shagari, Obasanjo, Ya'radua and Jonathan. We are doing it against Buhari.

Make no mistake, we have always put our political eggs in one basket and that is who we are. That is why we don't entertain dynasties. The likes of Saraki and Tinubu and Mohammed won't last a decade in Igbo land.
We are decisive and courageous. If that is what you call arrogance, then so be it. But we will never stand on the fence.

I write this because of the young generation of Igbos in Nigeria. Go home to your fathers in the villages and ask questions. Learn how to be Igbo without being apologetic. The first thing people notice about an Igbo man is his enterprising spirit. It is not found anywhere else. Ihe agwo muru aghaghi ito ogologo.

We can't apologize for who we are. But what we do not have is the spirit of Nigerian politics. We don't play the politics of "Master say! Alhaji say! Everyone is a master in Igbo land. Onweghi onye na akpanye ibe ya nri.

The Igwe of my community has no more stake in the affairs of my community than I do. He is more of a representative of the people to the government and the custodian of our tradition than a "ruler" in the real sense of it. That is why we have the cabinet and elders in council.
Igbo amaghi eze.

It is not a bad thing in a sense that decisions are collectively taken, from the household, through the hamlets to the community. It does not make us lawless lots. The consultative mechanism is our strength. Igwe bu ike.

This is the singular reason why the Ohaneze Ndi Igbo has not been able to evolve into that rallying point for the Igbos like the Arewa People's Congress for Northerners, Oodua Peoples Congress and the Afenifere for Yorubas.

Let us all brace up for the times ahead.
Someone who will dislike you will not always need a reason to. Add the ingenuity and hardwork of the average Igbo man to the mix, and dislike quickly turns to hate.

And I understand it. I perfectly do. Its not easy to like someone who comes back to your land, after being sent packing just a few decades ago with just some two pounds and all his properties confiscated by his hosts.

He comes back and acquires them back hundred folds, marries your daughters and prospers with them. Then goes ahead to not only carve settlements in Ojodu and Ojo for themselves, but is about to become a determinant to your political future in a dispensation where you have been promised a second place.

What they may never know is that the ordinary Igbo man is not interested in your presidency. We thrive wherever we go. So when you say we are not strategizing enough for the presidency, we don't see it how you see it.

The average Igbo man simply wants a good environment for his business, and good infrastructure for a decent life. The things which "presidency" has not bestowed on any ethnic group in Nigeria.

The five Igbo states have since 2012 almost consistently occupied the best positions in WAEC and produced the highest number of medical and engineering students in Nigeria.

Check the Igbo business in Lagos, Kano, Maiduguri, Portharcourt. Most are not based on government patronage. We make things out of nothing. Presidency means nothing to an average Igbo man. The ten poorest and educationally backward states in Nigeria are within the regions that have held the presidency within the last two decades.

A good example is the very primary school where President Buhari cast his vote. It was the closest to his ancestral home. A "successful" Onitsha business man who has made money from his trade will know that the church and the school closest to his home is the very yardstick to measure his success. He needs not become president to refurbish them. Ana esi na ulo mara mma puo ama.

To the young generation of Igbos, I say to you today, Quit trying to impress anyone about how hospitable or detribalized you are!
Nnamdi Azikiwe did it and failed, Jonathan did everything imaginable, things he did not do for his native South South and yet failed. If you think you can please Nigeria, then you have another thing coming.

Look at Benue people, they received the greatest visit of deaths from this government. But they'd rather die some more than let an Igbo man smell the Vice Presidency. And tomorrow, they will also tell you Igbos don't know politics. And you will want to engage them in an argument.

Do not be disturbed when you hear them say we are not united. We have never been that kind of united people. Read our history. Even as Igbos were dying in their hundreds during the pogrom, Gen. Ojukwu, one of the first Igbo men who realized that this "forced marriage" can never work was only "permitted" to embark on the war against Nigeria by seeking the voice of every hamlet, every village and every community. He did not take unilateral decisions.

That's how decisions are taken in Igbo land. We do no alienate those who are in dissent. We do not allow one Tinubu to make decisions for some and another Saraki for others, so that our two eggs are comfortably placed in two baskets. No! We rise to the occasion wherever we are, Lagos, Kano, Kaduna, sokoto. Our spirits communicate with each other and not with any leader figure and decide what is best for us. Either you respect us for getting it, or you respect us for trying. This is who we are, and we are not changing it soon. We are Igbos. Deal with it.


I will repeat the last line.

WE ARE IGBOS. DEAL WITH IT.

Back then ok the primary and secondary schools, there are teachers that their canes were serious threat to us.

We skipped their classes because of their floggings. We failed their subjects cos of their canes.

Their floggings earned them nicknames.

Today, we wish to hail them to remind them that their floggings helped or destroyed us.

Call them by their names or their nicknames to either hail or boo them.

Mr. Onuoha, u love flogging students. It was ur hobby. He once flogged almost the whole school from JSS3 to SS3. He nearly died after that task.

Onuoha, how market?

The game plan. How the North intend to rule for 16yrs.

Atiku will go to court. The case will keep lingering till the 3rd year or thereabout of this present administration. If PMB's health becomes bad, and if he could no longer be active to rule, court will award the election case to Atiku.

Atiku will then take over as the president and will complete his 8yrs in the office.
While this is going on, they'll be grooming Ribadu and El Rufai to take over after Atiku.

The North will neither hand over to the West nor to the East.

You are free to say that this is an analysis of a political neophyte. When the time comes, you'll see it as a prophecy.

We do what we do as a result of who we are!

We are Igbos, and proud of it. No apologies.

Culled from Charles Okonkwo

I watched the interview. From the onset, the pretty girl had a good command of English language. That she said she was just wakaing about is not totally out of place. After all she was not on purely official interview. Though I laughed the way she just chipped in that pidgin English.

smogup:
But sha man u must loose today

Please, what was the result of that game?

MJBOLT:

nice one but his heroic acts wont save man u from getting trashed by liverpool

Guy, how was the trashing from Liverpool?

.... And who was doing the recording?

In as much as I don't support ballot box snatching, I think the directive of shooting will make it more violent. The ballot snatchers, knowing that they may be shot, will come more prepared and may even shoot the police first. What if it becomes a shootout between them and the security agents, what will happen to people around the polling booth?

I don't worry myself about updates. My phone updates itself automatically.

Our country is very backward. The government is so insensitive. people are ignorant and not proactive.

With enough emergency situation training or enlightenment, this kind of thing can be avoided or reduced to a very low level.

I went for one of the campaigns in one stadium. When I was there the thought of stampede and safety overtook me. The crowd was too much, little children were even playing around on the ground. Many tire people were lying down on the ground and I was so scared and prayed that nothing bad happen.

My safety instinct told me to go closer to where lots of vehicles where parked inside the stadium that is away from any of the exits. This will give one protection in case of anything like stampede occurs.
My instinct also told me not to struggle to be the 1st to reach the entrance in such a case and to remain stationary behind the car I was standing by its side. Finally, I told myself that the best option I have is to leave the stadium. Thank God nothing bad happened that day.

Back to our government. What stops them from training people on actions to take on different emergency situations. Why won't the organizers of these campaign not make it as a point of duty to at least use 5mins to educate the people on the ground of inherent danger in such gathering and how to avert it?

Why will the organizers of campaigns especially on an enclosed places allow minors to be playing around in such a dangerous place. They are just after how many crowed they meet and don't care about how many will go back with their lives.
