So you assumed I was insulting you.

Pity.....

I was talking about what can make a person give up expensive stuff cheaply, and you thought it a cool idea to call my late father a drug addict.

I leave you with your conscience.

omo no vex, as you see, economy sef dey hot. everyone is angry. next time try to be explicit.

ILoveDemMANNA:
Only the sensible ones among the igbos know that this is the truth and NOTHING But the truth.

Actor Okonkwo don finish d matter......

Excerpts.....

Here’s a transcript of the video above:

I am following President Muhammadu Buhari and I make no apologies for that.
I am an ambassador of good governance. It’s not because of the person of Muhammadu Buhari, it’s because he’s committed to good governance.
And as the ambassador of good governance, take it home, you can’t get a better president than President Buhari.

Since 1999 with PDP in power, no Igbo man was president, no Igbo man was vice president, not even our infrastructure was built. If you’re from the south east will I not check your mental stability if you don’t want to change course. I am changing course.

I want you to understand that President Muhammadu Buhari has passionate love for the Igbos, when he came the first time to contest for the presidency, it was an Igbo man he chose to be his vice president. His name is Chuba Okadigbo.

When he came back the second time, it was an Igbo man he chose to be his vice president. His name is former Speaker of the House of Representatives. His name is Ume Eze-Oke.

His comments attracted backlash, and the actor has come out to call those against his decision “ignorant and satanically motivated”. Writing in two Instagram posts, Okonkwo said:

My attention has been drawn to some negative comments and curses poured out against my person by some ignorant and satanically motivated persons because of my preference of President Muhammadu Buhari as President of this country for his incorruptible and firm character against enemies of Nigeria.

I have been laughing at their ignorance and wickedness.

First, these men have not offered any alternative party or Presidential aspirants to challenge Buhari or be compared with him.

Second, they claim they are Igbos but forgot that in Igboland, it is a cardinal principle and custom that you must respect someone’s personal opinion and must not curse the person, if what the person simply did was to express his opinion and nothing more, “uche onye adighi ya njo”.



We’ve had the history of power grabbers in Nigeria, aggressive power grabbers. If you don’t give them power, they will leave you. They left APC for PDP because they wanted to grab power. If you don’t give them they will grab it. They are very few, very vocal, they are very cohesive if you are not careful they will come and take their own and take your own. We are saying “No” to that.

If you want to come into power in Nigeria because you are giving us good governance not because you want to grab power. If the south-east should support anybody for the presidency, they are going to wander for the next eight years in the wilderness.
It is agreed that it is their turn after president Muhammadu Buhari. You know our slogan? It is Ndigbo for Buhari 2019 and Buhari for Ndigbo for 2023.

Even if a person says anything you don’t like, provided he did not curse you, you are permitted to throw away his words but restrained by custom and tradition not to do anything to him.

Third, the Nigerian constitution said in section 39 that “every person shall be entitled to freedom of expression, including freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart ideas and information without interference”.

Also in section 38, the constitution states “every person shall be entitled to freedom of thought, conscience… including freedom to change his … belief, and freedom (either alone or in community with others, and in public or in private) to manifest and propagate his belief in teaching, practice and observance”.

God himself created man a free moral agent to hold his thoughts and express his opinions as he wishes. He did not even compel man to worship Him. So these army of ignorant and wicked men are simply trying to rudely and crudely interfere with my traditional, constitutional and religious rights to freely express myself and hold an opinion, belief and thought as I so wish.

Let me reiterate that I am a follower of President Buhari and believe in his integrity and good intentions to better the lots of Nigerians and that of Ndigbo and I have no apologies for this. Whoever disagrees with me should produce his own strong reasons and better alternatives.

Since these men did not do this, but resorted to curses and vituperations, they have violated the law of nature, man and God.

oga carry your smelly writeup comot for here abeg. you sre not igbo but you wan die untop igbo matter. did they tell you they need your opinion?

omo even kemi sef get sense pass this finsnce minister. this one is even clueless than Buhari

clarocuzioo:
Having friends all over the nation is not a guarantee you must be president.

Buhari also affirmed that by saying " YOU CANNOT BE IN LAGOS AND DECIDE ZONING FOR APC".

E be like say u and David Hundeyin go the same journalism school abi?

like i said, you will never know. bye.

lexy2014:
Are u one of the people buying cars for over 200m?

well, its for me to know and you not to find out because you would never know.

lexy2014:
If Mark is wearing shirts that cost 400 a piece, are u also wearing shorts 400 a piece?

if i can afford it and want to, why not. but the thing is, you would never know my purchasing power.

Jeezuzpick:
Might be authentic, but stolen or pawned.

Okwuapkunaonu:
He's not poor, do you know what it means to buy a boot of 600k in this hard economy? Mumu!

then its not for you because even in this hard economy, people are buying cars over 200m, so rest.

lexy2014:
Nobody asked u about wristwatch. Na shoe we de talk. Where's your 600k shoes?

lol. you have no idea....

chatinent:
You are quick to notice a poor person but slow to enrich a poor person. Can we call it a poor mentality?

going by your analogy, i am rich. na your papa enrich me? why should i enrich a poor person? abi you be baba fryo with entitlement mentality?

Matthew2925:
Its not about been poor Bro. Its about mindset and what you want. Bill Gates, Mike Z. Do not wear £800 shoes. They have the money that's not just their priority. So it's not always about poverty like you think it is.

those hrey shirts you see mark wearing cost 400 a piece. go and ask or google, it should tell you.so like i saod before, you are at the exact level of mindset your finance can afford. if he says its too expensive, then its too expensive for him..

gbagyiza:
But honestly, that shoe doesn't look that price. I can get something better with 100K.

nobody is saying you cannot get something better, forget about how the shoe looks, nigerian shoe makes make better quality too... you are buying the value placed on it by the brand. its balenciaga.

obonujoker:
This guy has drawn another legion of demons...

gbam... i for like nack that kim but on a spiritual angle, she no worth am.. family wey dey wreck all the men they come across and person no fit add one and two together..that one is not ordinary.. confirm!

Janosky:
Is #600k shoe his fore most priority because he has the cash?

if he has the cash,, even if its not his priority, he wont make that statement..

Jamersirwin1971:
Sometimes it happens that way .i bought one akube sneakers for 5 k , my uncle came in from Europe and saw me wearing it . His question was where did I get the money to buy such . And it was sold for 400 euros . I told him I bought it used (akube) he told me to pull it and he wanted to see something . I pulled out one leg of the sneakers and game him . Then he called his friend back in germany and told him via video call to see what I was wearing and the cost I bought it . The friend also was surprised .. I went online and saw it was sold for 430 euros .. omo na so I Dey cherish am till now self

yours is fake anyway. nothing like akube here..

vichaz10:
Poor....even mourinho earning millions of euros per annum said it's expensive.....talk more of an average nigerian....

of what value is a shoe like that to a mourinho that is over 50+ years old? it would always be expensive to him because its not something someone of his age bracket would fancy

lexy2014:
Since u are rich, where are your 600k shoes?

lol. do i have shoes half that amount? yes. i wont spend that much on shoes because of its quick wear and tear but on wristwatches, hell yeah!

chatinent:
₦600k bawo?

If I wear this shoe, will goodness and mercy follow me?

you are just poor, thats all...

BarrElChapo:
They couldn't afford it even if they were interested. $43m is about N17.6bn. I guess I shouldn't have even compared in the first place.

keep underestimating the extent to which your comon wealth has been stolen to high heavens..

BarrElChapo:
Nigeria has got fake billionaires seriously, really doubt any of them can afford things like things

there is a difference between affordability and interest/hobby. Go and figure out what they are. besides, comparing people who make their money in dollars against people who make theirs in naira is not ideal.

itsme01:
Atiku hardly donate to any cause except politics

go and check and correct your comment, at least he is better than the dumbo in Aso rock who has not contributed anything to nation building since he left office in 1985.

Nonpartisan1:
IPOB terrorists are really dump.

so are you. Its dumb no dump.

is this post about Kalu's trial or why Tinubu met with Kalu? if its about efcc case, ehy was Tinubu's efcc case not also talked about? i thought he was also docked ome time?

OGHENAOGIE:
