This report contains exaggerations and outright lies.

President Umar Shehu Yar'adua, and not President Goodluck Jonathan, was the one who upgraded Enugu airport to international status.

This means the so-called policy on civil war concerning the East may not be true.

Bishop Juice:

This is why I have come to look down at most SW people.

Continue to look down upon them. The more you look down upon them, and possibly garnish it with insult, the easier it will be for them to change and agree with your viewpoint.

Afterall, in the art of negotiation, nothing works better and faster than looking down upon those who don't agree with you.

Afam4eva: @Pukah
You're turning into a troll. You know close to nada about Enugu. Don't just go to google and dig up an article because some people will always have something bad to say about someone no matter how good that person is. if this is how you intend to advertise APC to Enugu peeps then it's an epic fail cos Enugu has remained the most stable state since the days of Nnamani. Sullivan Chime has done creditably well and most Enugu peeps can confirm that fact.

Your conclusion is faulty and haughty based on the following:

1. You stated that I don't know anything about Enugu. What did you rely on or know about me before coming to this obviously condescending conclusion? What would you say if I said you don't know anything about Calabar, Kano, or Ibadan?

2. You did not address any of the issues raised in what I posted. You merely brushed it off by saying 'someone will always have something bad to say'.

3. You assumed that I spoke/speak for the APC. Again, what's your evidence? I have criticized APC governors here many times. Quite honestly, I noted on this thread, though lighheartedly, that APC really has no place in Enugu. Every unbiased observer can see that. So what did you rely on?

4. You failed to address a major scandal involving Sullivan Chime - the Picanto saga and Sullivan Babes. Is it a lie? How can a sitting governor descend so low? Has he conducted himself well? I'm not even including that of his wife.

Chime could find his voice to support Jonathan who has not even declared his ambition but he could not address the web of scandals on Picanto babes or Sullivan Babes; or stop the madness entirely?

5. You did not address my question on 'Enugu town or Enugu state'.

6. You have not highlighted any part of my posts here as useless or trolling yet went on to say 'you're turning into a troll'. I find this offensive and see it as a ploy to elbow me out of the thread.

I have stated my opinion as it concerns a public figure. Address the issues if you can or leave them if you can't but don't call me a troll. I don't like this.

Public figures must be made to pass through very strict standards and I must tell you that Chime failed in that regard when it comes to all the issues I have raised.

ENUGU RESCUE GROUP
 
The 7 CARDINAL SINS OF GOVERNOR CHIME (Vol. I)
 
It is with a heavy heart that we, the good people of Enugu State, send this SOS to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, GCFR, the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, the anti-graft agencies, and the Nigerian public over the reign of horrendous impunity and grand corruption in Enugu State.
 
As a matter of fact, governance stopped in the State on May 29, 2011, when Governor Sullivan Chime was sworn into Office for a second term. Not only is the state being mindlessly bled to death through monumental corruption and profligacy, we now live under conditions worse than Adolph Hitler’s Germany. Today in Enugu, Chimecracy, a system of government in which dissent is an anathema, no matter how reasonable, while impunity and tyranny by one man, his family and cronies is a code of official conduct, is the order of the day.
 
 
The 7 Cardinal Sins of Governor Chime
 
1. Ingratitude: Wonder why this comes first? Well, it is because Ausonius once said that “Earth produces nothing worse than an ungrateful man”. Governor Chime is one man whose political history is frost with innate ingratitude as though there is an unseen force propelling him to seek the destruction of all who made him. A few examples would suffice. Everyone knows that Governor Chimaroke Nnamani literally made Sullivan Chime the Governor of Enugu State. But it is one misjudgment that the former Governor lives to regret as Sullivan literally destroyed Nnamani’s political and economic empires once he became Governor. Former Governor of the State and National Chairman of the PDP, Dr. Okwesili Eze Nwodo, has his sad story to tell. Senator Jim Nwobodo was among those who helped Governor Chime to secure a second term ticket, but he rewarded Nwobodo by revoking his land title and sharing same to his cronies. Senator Ekweremadu and Members of the National Assembly form Enugu State literally weathered Chime’s political storm for him in 2011 to ensure he got a second term ticket, among other support and solidarity. Yet Chime started waging a cold and relentless war against them almost from the Okpara Square where he was sworn in. This war has now blown open as he has unleashed a smear campaign on the Senator Ekweremadu and other Members of the National Assembly from Enugu State as well as the sabotage of their Constituency Projects.
 
On December 10, 2013, Governor Chime summoned a meeting of all traditional rulers in Enugu State and decreed to them that any royal father that allowed a Constituency Project in his community without a written permission from would be summarily dethroned. On 12th December 2013, the Governor, acting through the Chairman of Ezeagu LGA, stopped work at the National Youth Centre attracted by Senator Ekweremadu to lwolo for Ezeagu LGA.
 
He had also decreed before now that no Member of the National Assembly from the State would be reelected in 2015. Governor Chime must be reminded what the Bible says about ingratitude. Proverbs 17:13 says: “He who returns evil for good, Evil will never depart from their home.”
 
2. Inflation of Contracts: The Governor and his gang of oppressors had since embarked on reckless contract inflation. It is a fact, for instance, that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, and the Independent Corrupt Practices and related Offences Commission, ICPC, are currently investigating allegations of the inflation of the “N13 Billion” contract for the construction of the New Secretariat Complex awarded to the Arab Contractors following a petition filed by his kinsman, Mr. Osita Okechukwu. This is a project that experts have insisted should not cost up to N5 billion in a sane society. 
 
Indeed, only greed and corruption, fueled by deliberate misplacement of priority could have pushed a Governor to embark on such white elephant project in a state suffocating with poverty and underdevelopment induced by dearth of basic socio-economic infrastructures. Only such bottomless appetite for public funds could have pushed a Governor to pull down former secretariat structures, even against a groundswell of opposition from Enugu people, South Easterners, and against the wise counsel of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, all of whom saw the structures as the surviving legacies of the defunct Eastern Region, uniting edifice, and tourist attraction that were only suffering from lack of maintenance.
 
3. Contract Sharing: Enugu State is sinking under the weight of one man and his gang who see Enugu State as their private estate. A case in point is the looting that has gone on at the Enugu State Universal Basic Education Board for a long time now. It is noteworthy that law enforcement agencies are currently investigating the thievery and looting going on in the agency. An instance is the petition to the Inspector-General of Police by the former Executive Chairman of the Enugu state Universal Education Board, ESUBEB as well as Chime’s kinswoman, Chief Mrs. Ethel Nebo-Ezeabasili, dated February 13, 2014 and entitled “Save my Soul: Threat to my Life, Harassment and Intimidation by Mrs. Ifeoma Nwobodo, Chief of Staff to The Governor of Enugu State”. The former executive Chairman explains that once she (the former Executive Chairman) accessed the sum of N3.6 Billion matching grant for the years 2009, 2010, and 2011, Mrs. Ifeoma Nwobodo (Governor Chime’s point woman) hijacked and manipulated the processes of project execution. And after many flip-flops, Mrs. Nwobodo awarded contracts for a whooping 583 (Five hundred and Eighty-Three) projects to only four companies (New Techniques Nigeria Ltd, Raycon Nigeria Ltd, J & J Techno Nigeria Ltd, and Akota Work Nigeria Ltd.) to be executed by direct labour. But Nigerians should note that by the Procurement Act, no contractor is to tender or be awarded more than a single project or one lot! And it was the former Executive Chairman’s stand against such reckless and fraudulent sharing of contracts that earned her the boot.
 
It is noteworthy that at the height of the ruthless onslaught against her, the poor woman’s Office was invaded on October 1, 2012 and project files and other vital document were carted away, while several attempts were made on life. Her petition to the Director of State Security, Enugu State and another to the Commissioner for Police all dated November 2, 2012, tell the rest of the story. But this is just a glimpse of the impunity and highhandedness meted to those who stand in the way of corruption in the State.
 
4. Money Laundering: It is not surprising, therefore, that the Enugu State Government and Governor Chime’s Chief of Staff/“Woman Friday”, Mrs. Ifeoma Nwobodo is currently undergoing investigation over charges of laundering multibillion naira funds of the poor people of Enugu State. This followed a petition to the Police IG, detailing that the money laundering and looting started from April 21, 2011. That was just a few days after Governor Sullivan Chime was inaugurated for a second tenure. It is for reasons such as this that we insist that governance stopped in Enugu from May 29, 2011.
 
We will publish the complete dossier in volume 2 of the Rescue Statement, including the onshore and offshore businesses and real estates.
 
5. Human Rights Abuse: Enugu State is now the new ugly face of human rights abuse in Nigeria. The detention of Enugu’s First Lady, Mrs. Clara Chime by Governor Chime, which he justified on account of alleged health challenge, has turned the State from a land known for peace and freedom to one of odious repression. Enugu State now holds the loathsome record of the first state to convert its Government House to a Mental Home. What a shame!
 
6. Poor workers welfare: Despite the mindless lootings going on in the State, the Enugu State’s workforce remains the least paid in the whole country. Any form of industrial action or complaint is met with brute force.
 
7. Perjury: Contrary to the Oath of Office he swore to, Governor Sullivan Chime lied to the people of the State that he was enjoying an accumulated leave, whereas he was lying seriously ill in overseas hospitals. He deceived the people for 140 days!
 
 
Conclusion
 
We wish to assert that the foregoing are just a tip of the iceberg of the rot and looting that are bleeding Enugu State to death, a mere glimpse of the despotism under which weight our beloved State is sinking. We therefore call on President Goodluck Jonathan, the PDP, the anti-graft and law enforcement agencies, and indeed other well meaning Nigerians to come to our rescue before it is too late.

Italiano1:

Another PPP agent caught red handed !!

Shame? This folks do not have

These are not the best of times for the PPP elements.

Their camp is in disarray and their house is on fire.

These days, I don't know which is higher in number - their gaffes or their posts...

The 'Pay' in the PPP has become hard-earned.

spyder880:

With the respect Chime commands at the moment, Enugu could vote a man with two horns on his head if Chime says so (joking)

Enugu town or Enugu state?

Gabbysky:
Yes Sir, I've lived in Lagos all my life, I have businesses and properties in Lagos, so I do pay my tax and LUC to LASG.
I temporarily relocated to PH in 2013 to set up another branch of my biz here, hoping to return to Gidi if my family permits... Thanks

...If your family permits...

That's good condition although what you said earlier is that you will relocate (without any condition).

Also see what you've written in the past:

Gabbysky:
Nahh, not me, I'm not a politician you small boy.
The Reps know what they've gotten themselves into... I am from Rivers state, I live in River State and we're already prepping the next person to represent us. We never voted for APC in our constituency, no need to recall the reps since they never consulted with us before making this tragic move to try to bring us (the people) under a terrorist party.
The joke is on u guys, and btw, thanks for letting me know that it's the xmas break that has been responsible for all these tollerated insults. We don't want APC, we voted for PDP.

You said you went to PH in 2013 but the elections of the Reps which you referred to in the above post definitely took place long before 2013.

See another one:

Gabbysky:
From the reports of yesterday's meeting, I was greatly impressed.
Nah, I'm not igbo dear, I rep PH - Proud citizen of the Creeks

And this is the reason (political) you're relocating to Lagos:

Gabbysky:
PDP -Lagos is now winning more yorubas over, and to add other tribes that have already pledged their support to kick out apc, they will surely get there, and that's why me and many like me are relocating to Lagos to ensure this happens.
Watch out for the massive explosion of crowds in Lagos during the election - we'll be coming in for one thing... KICK OUT apc FROM GIDI

You said earlier that if your family permits your relocation. But didn't you think of your family when you were trying to woo Berem here:

Gabbysky:
Plz do my love... My crush on is driving me nutss and I'm prepared to do anything to win you except decamping
I'll be waiting and btw r u married?
No hurt feelings please

From all these, your conclusions are as good as mine.

FreeGlobe: The best governor in Nigeria has spoken and we abide by his submission.

Of course yes!

The best governor in terms of distribution of Kia Picanto to numerous babes!

No other governor beats him in that area!

He's the best in the annals of our history!

FreeGlobe:
“It is not by magic that or by force or money
that we were able to achieve this, but by
simply working to meet the aspirations of our
people, it is by consultation and by delivering
on our promises to the people”, he said

Yes o!

With picantos and through the ubiquitous Sullivan babes!

Ride on Chime!

The Baddest Guy Ever Liveth in terms of Runz Babes!

What is an ugly APC (Armoured Personnel Carrier) looking for in Enugu where cute Picantos reign?

APC is dead in Enugu.

All hail Chime!

^^^

Add the handling of the deportation issue to it. The handling was very poor and Jonathan indulgently looked on.

The name of that leader who made the tribal statement in the presence of an indulging Jonathan is Arthur Eze. And what he said was inappropriate and needless.

It was as inappropriate and needless as Jonathan's statement on Igbos being the pillar of his administration.

Till date, the Ministers he sacked are also yet to be replaced.

Perhaps APC should also play that kind of politics and see which side will hurt more.

shymexx:
There's absolutely no need for this redundant paperwork. That won't change the mind of an Hausa/Fulani voter in Sokoto. Nor persuade a Yoruba person that understands how GEJ has marginalised Yoruba's in his administration, or how Igbo's have hijacked the government to malign Yoruba's, to vote for GEJ. Just remind them of the evils of GEJ and how he's hell bent on enslaving them. Period. Drum it into their ears.

Shalom!

This sounds like tit for tat

But the paperwork part might be where APC needs to print millions of copies of posters for distribution in those strongholds reading 'Igbos Are the Pillar of My Administration' - Jonathan.

In short, do a reverse of what APGA/PDP/Jonathan did to Ngige in the last Anambra election. I think Amaechi has started doing it in Rivers though.

The paperwork part should also include millions of posters bearing something like 'I don't give a damn about asset declaration', 'I'm not a lion', 'Terrorist strike everywhere', not to forget to include the number of private jets and increase in subsidy bills from N300b to trillions.

The disarray in the PPP team is obvious. The frenzy is palpable.

Things are falling apart. Even Tukur said a few days ago that 'it is not smooth with PDP'. So the embattled Nairaland PPP team has gone into overdrive.

With their present state of affairs, it is a no brainer that this current PPP team WILL soon type/talk itself out of existence through avoidable libel or defamation cases; or, at best, through an inhouse reorganization that will kick out the moribund, ineffective and ineffectual team.

Mark it.

Sincere 9gerian: Tinubu dogs are clearly at work in Lagos- destroying Lagos gas pipelines and punishing innocent citizens just to discredit govt and advance the selfish political ambition and expand the political territories of Tinubu.

You started a thread and snuffed life out of it with your own hands.

It's like someone who labours to milk a cow with his hands then, in a moment of indiscretion, kicks it away with his own leg.

A thread which you could have used to your advantage, as the first mover of the news, was disabled when you stained it with needless and baseless opposition politics.

Heck, a political novice would not even blame Tinubu for vandalism of pipeline that has become a widespread menace which the Fedeally-controlled security forces have not been able to contain.

You need to change your approach to diseminating information. The present approach may be fetching you more enemies and masking the information you're trying to pass across.

ndu_chucks:

I understand what you mean, but the fact remains that these so-called self-sserving cabals can do and undo a Presidency. They must be managed effectively without making them enemies. My simple suggestions will result to managing them effectively - this is the prudent and practical thing to do.

If you agree that the cabal is self-serving, why can't there be other beneficial ways to manage them other than to surrender the oil blocks to them?

Shouldn't you be in support of whichever President (regardless of whether or not it's Jonathan) attempts to unseat them?

I agree that the sitting President also came in through them but must that evil cabal be permanently sustained?

Must anti-people decisions be permanently sustained?

ndu_chucks:

The fact remain that these 'owners' can help GEJ acomplish his goal. But GEJ's Ministers and loudmouths like Asari-Dokubo who speak for GEJ, have been threatening the very people whose help will be needed. This is quite foolish.

Good politicians will not alienate their power base and squander the goodwill they enjoy and tribalize polity in a destructive manner.

I agree that people like Asari ought to apply more tact.

But is the help you're talking about here on 2015? What if Jonathan decides he's not contesting but that he won't leave Nigeria the same way in terms of structure (I wish he could do this)?

What if he wants to support a successor?

No matter what happens, the interest of Nigerians is far greater than the interest of those owners (whose names you've refused to mention) and Jonathan's ambition.

Honestly, if this line of argument persists, some people may begin to support Jonathan out of sympathy.

Haba!

In addition, why are you against the privatization of the refineries? What are the reasons?

Has PHCN not been privatized?

Is a pocket-less trouser not better than one with leaking pockets?

ndu_chucks:

Things like supply of electricity, true federalism, police reforms, are obviously desirable, but he cannot do those in the next few weeks. The things I itemized are very simple. GEJ can make a major broadcast and announce that he'll do those things and watch his popularity go through the rrof, particularly in the states where his support has drastically fallen.

he will not get any sympathy from people whose relatives have been imprisoned for months without trial. He can release those people today!

Haha Ndu_Chucks! GEJ's rating will hit the roof once he announces the renewal of oil blocks?

I have my own issues with the Jonathan administration but I'm not in support of this kind of self-serving agenda which seeks to boldly promote the interests of the tiny, rent-seeking minority.

No.

In fact, I wish Jonathan could look at them eyeball to eyeball and do what is right.

Even if it costs him a second term, what's left in his tenure is enough to shake up the country along political lines.

Why should you be defending the oligarchy and elite that have been sucking the country dry for decades?

ndu_chucks:
When I wrote "apparently done" I meant that he has already reversed the sale as announced by the Petroleum Minister.

Ok, I see what you meant.

ndu_chucks:

Political expediency and survival comes to mind. The owners of those blocks can help him achieve his goals, it is foolish to threaten them directly or indirectly as his Ministers have been doing.

Who are these owners?

If what you're saying is that they are angry because Jonathan has not promised them a renewal of the blocks, then I will support Jonathan on this.

Does any group of individuals have a right to the oil blocks?

Why can't a public liability company be formed to own the oil blocks in which interested Nigerians can buy shares?

To me, all this sounds like a tiny, selfish group or cabal wants to armtwist Jonathan.

You guys are taking this thing too far now.

ndu_chucks:
(3)Release with immediate effect, thousands of innocent Nigerians, including women and children, currently held in prisons without trial for allegedly being BH members.

shi kena

This is apparently the right thing to do especially if the people being held have been investigated and found innocent or taken to court immediately.

If this is true, there's no point detaining children anyway.

Your list of demand looks like one that's trying to armtwist Jonathan or favour a tiny clique and, because of this, I find it unacceptable.

I thought your list would including things that would benefit most Nigerians like constant supply of electricity, true federalism, police reforms, etc.

ndu_chucks:
(2)Publicly announce an automatic extension of existing oil block contracts, which will expire in 2016, by 5 years.

Why should he do this? Are you holding him to ransom?

Who are the owners or beneficiaries of existing oil block contracts?

ndu_chucks: (1)Reverse the planned sale of Nigeria's refineries to his cronies. (apparently done)

What's the evidence that the refineries have been sold?

Govt says it has no plan to sell them:

http://www.punchng.com/news/jonathan-hasnt-approved-sale-of-refineries-says-abati/

Government had no plan to sell any of the nation’s refineries contrary to the news making the rounds about the imminent sale of the facilities.

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, said this in an interview with State House correspondents on Thursday.

It will be recalled that the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria and the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers had threatened to embark on an industrial action this month if the Federal Government refused to drop the idea of selling the refineries.

Who will these actions save Jonathan from?

Gabbysky: Nice work PDP Lagos State - Now I shall relocate to lagos in 2014 let's join forces with the Lagos PDP and send apc out of Alausa.

This means you've not been residing in Lagos State?

Gabbysky:
I pay my tax in Lagos State so it is my right to know what my money is used for.

How come you pay your tax in Lagos State?

Billyonaire: Tinubu is not dying, he is recuperating but do not expect too much fire from him on politics.

He is retiring soon.

This is 2014...you wanna update this?

frankyychiji: Just listen to urself slowpoke. So u didn't know by empowering private businesses, u create more employment for jobless peo like u? D goatee governor wl end up shooting himself in d leg with all these cluelessness from him.

Here comes another deranged, rudderless, ignorant orangutan that's calling himself a human being defending the giving of government money to private businesses!

It's a total disgrace to share the same space called Nigeria with urchins and oafs like you!

You're like a snail that shows up in a meeting of horned animals. How did you come about a phone or computer to type rubbish and reveal your matchless idiocy?

The nonsense you have written up there shows that your brain is inferior to that of a mouse. At least a mouse can recognize a trap and run from a cat.

You need to go for lobotomy so that your useless brain can be replaced by that of a big rodent.

HNosegbe: Pukkah bro it's okay. Let this matter rest.

Ok bro. Noted.

I'm happy though that one more bigot and confusionist has been unmasked.

It's all in the interest of Nigerians.

People should not allow themselves to be used by politicians to punish the suffering masses of Nigeria.

Bishop Juice:

Isnt that what you ediots vote along?

You're showing your hand with each post. At least you've been exposed. You've just stated the reason why you slowpoke is exploiting tribe and religion to make blood money that will certainly come back to haunt you.

You're beyond redemption and your enemies have had their way.

Bishop Juice:


Nigeria is burning ediot if you may have not realized. You have islamic fanatics and hausa/fulani militias killing christians and any body they deem as a political threat to their rule come 2015. But you won't understand this since osun ediots like yourselves were the only ones to vote a mallam in the last election.

You also have xenophobia and revamping of ethnic divisions be perpetuated and promoted by your APC governors in the SW and you still intend peace for yourselves come 2015? What is sure to come out of 2015 , regardless of if GEJ wins or loses, is the fact that the Middle Belt has woken up and the SS know who their real enemies are so this nonsense you call Nigeria should not exist a day after the election.

I will want Nigeria to divide merely to see how you guys in the SW will fare without free oil and if your unabated basket mouths will still leak criticism when you are governed from Sokoto Caliphate.

Olofo it is time to wake up!

How's the mish-mash related to the issues at stake? Your instructors were wicked. They only told you to use religion and tribe to argue rather than use your brain.

Cretin!

You've been exposed and you have no shame.

Bishop Juice:
You are obviously here to ensure damage control for your odenni governor.

When next you want to invade a forum with a one-day old account, don't go with the brain of a pig.

From the odd manner you're ranting with illogical arguments, with the legion of issues you've left unaddressed, it's obvious that you have saw dust in your cranium.

You're a robot whose upper lip says tribe and the lower one mumbles religion. You're not capable of reasoning.

dayokanu:

Give the name of the school converted from a Baptist school to a Shariah school

Also find out if its Osun State govt or the Baptist who maintain this school and pay staff salary there before spewing senseless thoughts

He's still looking for the name of the school. Bigot!

All they do is spread baselss, senseless and wicked rumours all over the place with a view to causing confusion and disaffection.
