The needful is not necessary because we can not see the face of the police man to confirm that he is smiling... so it wont be fair to accuse someone (the police) of something he may not have done. my 2 kobo.

tew:
lalasticlala, do the needful...This is too bad for Africa at large

caselessogbuagu:
You can't just trust them! You call a fellow igbo man stranger, but you want to monopolize lagos and go as far as tagging it a 'no man's land'.
haba, lagooners!

You did not understand the OP and it seems you've been wanting to get something off your chest for a while, right? That's ok., I understand you don't like it that Lagos is now no man's land, but that is the reality, even if we stop calling it no man's land, it will not change it from being what it is - a cosmopolitan city made of several tribes and nationalities, also known as, Lagos - Center of Excellence and No Man's Land.

This group is actually saying something along the lines that he should return to Abuja or Lagos or the part of Nigeria he has been domicile for all these years and probably contest there because - he .... just ... returned to Abia recently.

Since you can't even understand the reason behind Lagos being no man's land, you probably won't get the OP or my explanation anyways sso kam ripu!

barcanista:
Before now I've been against what I currently stand for due to ignorance and deception. I recall that IYC had to beg Ohanaeze for forgiveness. On that same thread, I also asked Igbos for forgiveness.

Digging old thread won't help you and won't make me relent. Read my lips, I am wiser now.

Thanks

See gobe! Nku5, come see original gobe!

donklens:
I will update the result soon. I have a source inside the INEC OFFICE.

You said you will update "soon" from your contact from the INEC, Umuahia office, can you please post what the contact released to you? so you can post it online... its been a few days you said it was to be coming online as the official result was announced. Thanks in advance.

iyrojc:
God have mercy on you. I don't think you are Ok.

Thanks for wishing me God's mercy, you are right, I am not okay.... I am sorry to disappoint you though; but I will not join the band wagon of those whom haven't stepped a foot in Abia especially Umuahia and its environs. and still claim T.A. has been doing "nothing."

BiafranPrince:
One thing about Aba indigenes is this, speaking from experience and being son of the soil.

Forget all the noise and displeasure, 80% of these people all went to their respective hometowns and states to register and vote.

Even before the use of voters card, during election, everyone troops home to their state, when they vote their leaders and come back and couldn't do anything here, we are left with bad people at the helm, then when shit hits the fan, everyone starts crying and cursing.
Night before election, there was heavy movement out if city of Aba, and these are people who make up half of the city. They all went home to vote, and on election day, virtually the whole city was empty., and of cus you are left with little number of electorates to pursue electing good leaders, Sunday they are back, and the same people will start making noise everywhere.
Either Okezie or Otti we are good.
One thing is sure, anyone born in Aba doesn't joke with it.
That's why we have the belief that Aba will be rebuilt with Okezie at the helm, and once Aba regains it's lost glory, Abia regains it's rightful place. Make Aba what it ought to be and everything will fall into place for u.

Tis been a while that I'd been trying to say the same thing to the poster you replied, as well as a particular poster that goes by Asha80, as well as others too... that all the negative news about Abia does not represent, even slightly, what is going on in the state. That Aba was not milked as a cash cow does not mean the governor did nothing either during his 2 terms in office. They usually go from saying he did absolutely "nothing" to criticizing the works that I manage to find online for them, saying its low standard blah blah blah. A state that had no government house is right, the capital, Umuahia, being more of an administrative town than a commercial location, will lack efficiency and effectiveness without the infrastructure and utilities for performing their functions.

Would a sellfish governor build a government house that he will vacate after his tenure is finished? or the state broadcasting station, BCA that now has a befitting complex, etc etc.... are all acts of altruism that Orji Uzor Kalu did. No one can point today something Orji Uzor did that still stands today he isn't in office.

Yet it was The Sun that championed all the false and negative news about Abia being the worst state etc....

What T. A accomplished in helath is worth mentioning, and the rewards he received attest to that.... I could go on and on... butin any case, i'll drop it here. I believe Okezie is a well qualified man and never doubted him from when I heard him speak of his plan for Aba, Oti also convinced me.

However, it was out of fairness that I decided to root and hope Okezie wins. The Ngwa/Ukwa-ngwa has never produced the governor since the creation of abia state. however, if his case was like that of Buhari, where on the grounds of fairness to the north to have back their Yar'adua truncated tenure, they present someone that should be retired or is not not well "qualified" (in my own view) for the job of governor... I wouldn't have supported him.

I believe Okezie has what it takes.

I believe can change Abia state... beginning from the historic town of Aba.

Oti can wait. 8 years will go quickly, 4, if Okezie fails in his mandate... when it comes back to Abia north senatorial distric, the Aros or other "villages" can come out with Oti or whomever.

If things change and they decide its Oti that won? I won't feel bad because I believe he is also capable.The way I see it?

It is a win-win for Abians. Thos ewhom has bought orji Uzor Kalu's antagonistic reports agaist T.A. Orji will definitely not think so.. but who cares? Okezie, I am sure, will deliver. wil be shocked if he doesn't... but my prayers are for him to go far and beyond our expectations.... while OUK can go and ... (do the needful. lol.

N.B. Dissociating himself from O.U. Kalu is the best thing T.A. did. Transfering money meant for teachers' salaries etc being hijacked and paid to OU Kalu as repayment for campaigning expenses while T.A. Orji was incarcerated is/was the most ridiculous and outrageous thing to befall Abia state - God's own state, God's own people.

Is there a place really called "umuekwe(n)su"? lol

Did his (Ikpeazu's) people really want him? I felt they did, but I learnt the man has no house in his village all these years as they know he's been looting with T.A. Orji.... whether its tue or not I don't know, but its one of those news/rumours going around.... (from/in Umuahia shaa).

BiafranPrince:
Believe me when I say it may be.

Obingwa is the largest L.G.A in Abia, and has a good amount of its terrority in developed sections of Aba City.

Coupled with the fact that Okezie is from Ohuru Umuekwesu in Ahiaba kingdom, they all might have come out to vote their son.

Osisioma too is peculiar, 70% of the L.G.A is part of Aba city too, the urban areas and being core Ngwa territory, they might feel like going with their brother.

All in all, I feel like figures were inflated esp Obingwa L.G.A

Though Obingwa has huge population too.


Another thing to consider too is this, Urban areas like Aba North and South and State capital are more of people from other states, who traveled back to their own state to cast their votes. Obingwa is more of the indigenous people than other neighbouring L.G.As.

what did he say/do? i.e. how did he insult his own people?

DTaj:
The 'omo ale' (bastard) Just Kidding Jimi Agbaje who insulted his own people to please Igbos will cry tonite! Ambode is Governor-elect.

lygn19:
so u re now calling northerners illiterates, we know u guys very well if Buhari had not picked a Yoruba man as vp, u guys wud wake up one day and start saying he's too old.
U know wat am saying is true, Shehu Shagari and Alex Ekueme was able to arise as president and vp, despite just a few years after d civil war, back then igbos were following d Northerners bumper to bumper because they were still scared of wat happened in d civil war, just watch as history wud soon start repeating itself.

It is no news that the SW voted Buhari because of his VP, a Yoruba.

In the scenario that come 2019, a young and vibrant northerner is elected on PDP's platform, with an Igbo vice.... That will be a close one... or maybe not, I dunnoo... however, what I do know for sure is that... the presidency can NOT go to the Yorubas before the Igbos... it will not happen. Tinubu is still calculating, I know, we'll see what happens shaa..

jedyjedy:
If this Yoruba Igbo wahala continues like this, then I see fire. To set things straight, Lagos is a Yoruba kingdom and that is an indisputable fact and a visitor is always a visitor.

To state the fact clearly: Lagos is no man's land - all Nigerians are free to come to Lagos, and once they stay there long enough, they become lagosians. The same transit system, social amenities, market, schools etc is for all Lagos. This is for the record.

Okeikpu:
So so mouth, no action （⌒▽⌒） No be ds Ewedu/Amala pple wey I know....abi Una don borrow power

My gawd! You are wicked! You imported that just for him?! lolroflmao

fosidewok:
You great great ancestor to your father are idiots.

But what act can you point to that his ancestor did or said to prove your claim? are you sure you are not the same as your oba?

And let me say this before I move on to something better... the Oba didn't sound hostile to me, but his word portrays his heart and shouldn't an Oba be neutral politically? or at least "pretend" to be?

Emdeejay:
This tribal rift has to stop. The words of the Oba was total nonsense and he needs to apologize to the ibo residents of Lagos state. You should never make anyone feel unsafe especially if you're public figure whose words has heavier weight than the common citizen. That being said, the manner at which the leaders of ibos addressed the issue by calling the oba names was also wrong. They should maybe have taken the higher road like jega did to orubebe. Two wrongs don't make a right. To my fellow constituents, neither Yoruba nor bio needs to be grateful to each other. The Igbo man came to Lagos for greener pasture, while Lagos benefited from the business oriented igbos. No one is ungrateful, both benefited from this synergistic relationship. When the word of the oba first hit the net, a lot of the Yoruba condemned it and agreed that the statement was indeed foolish but many became defensive when the Igbo brethren began to call Yoruba, betrayer. Some even quote history and states that Yorubas had always been betrayer while igbos had always thought they were superior. Were you present during these period in nigeria? If not, please refrain from talking about it. Account of an event would be different depending on who is telling the story and on what side you're standing. One thing that I hope we should all agree on is that we hope that particular history does not repeat itself because the people that would suffer its consequences are the civilians and not the leaders of the people that started the dispute. Another notion that I saw was the fact that Lagos belongs to the Yorubas. Yes and no. The first settlers of Lagos were Yoruba, therefore it was claimed as part of their territory, which was the same thing that happened throughout nigeria. But it became available to other tribes as well when it became the capital. The problem of Lagos ownership is as a result of a failed nigeria. In the USA, a Maryland resident cannot vote in Virginia governorship race. After living in a particular state for a while you can choose to change your state residency. So a new Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa man in Lagos should not be able to vote for any governor. You haven't contributed much to the society to have a say.
Anyway, I hope this would stop as I have Yoruba and Igbo friends. God bless Nigerians

Not all Yorubas condemned the Oba... and some went further to call Igbos names.

What most Igbos said was that they were now going to vote for Jimi; if you saw the Oba being called names, that might have been later than I saw anyways. however, the truth is, that you can't intimidate an Igbo man just like that; if he retorts back to you "mba a na-abara agu" ... if pretty much saying that you can not shoo away a lion the way you shoo away a chicken or we often say "Hua" to the hawk to drop the little chick it swooped down on...

before i digress... and in conclusion, Igbos are peace loving. We mean noharm. We don't steal land, we buy the land with the weat off our borws.... so when you hear Igbos saying its no man's land etc... its not that they do not know who the first migrants to Lagos were, but I am sure o f this - it has always been in response to an act, whether perceived or actual, of aggression towards them.

You will not be minding your business in Lagos and out of no where an Igbo will come and be yelling in your face that lagos is no man's land. We have better things to do. Isnt time, money?

Perceptor:
lemme adress d issues one by each. You igbos ar the pompous and egoistic ones, pple frm various tribes av confirmed that.
Lagos was made the capital because it had all the potential to be the center of excellence in nigeria. such potential av neva been found in any igbo land even in modern days.
Igbos ar not d only non indigenous tribe in lagos, hausas ar there in large numbers but they respect d privilege they enjoy unlike igbos. Igbo always av tendences of treason whereever they ar given opportunity to strive and that is why the hausas hate you to hell.

Hausas hate us to hell, and you love us to heaven, right?
Aww, we love us too :X (no homo lol)

LordExecutioner:
Mumu, this is ur last warning.

We won't write you a letter next time. We will start by banning street hawking, substandard and illegal goods, and piracy.

Move to closing down all the dirty markets you have made crime infested for all kinds of nefarious and criminal activities. And start mass deportation of Igbo destitutes.

Let us see how you will survive. Onye oshi.

Pygmies.

Ah, Mayor, na you? Kabiyesi o!

You won't warn us again..?

Come on, you and I know that's not true. FFK wrote his epistle how long ago? The video of that man, yes, Akintola warning Yorubas against Igbos in the west has led to? Exactly, nothing. You can't do pooh... actually that all you can do ... pooh, in polythene bags. Besides taking a crap and giving warnings upon warning warnings... there's nothing else worthwile.

go ahead, give another warning... you know you want to

LordExecutioner:
My hustle is legit and I pay taxes. But I hate criminal activities.

The typical Igbo is a lazy criminal with no intellectual depth and business savviness who depends on illegal and criminal enterprise, and chaos to thrive.

Why can't yeeboos thrive in Houston, an area they dominate? Majority of the business there are owned by Yorubas. Yeeboos only thrive in crime and illegal businesses.

Work hard and stop looking for quick fixes and stealing other people's sweat while beating your chest everywhere.

Onye ara, ewu Somalia.

Name the businesses in Houston you claim Yorubas dominate or as you put it are in the majority...

If you yourself doesn't end up doing anything with your sword of death against the Igbos, what will happen to you? because we are tired of this same talk talk talk no action .... reminds me of IBB that said if he woke up and heard a Yoruba man is planning a coup, he would go back to sleep.

fosidewok:
And that sword of death is awaiting every igbo man in Lagos today. Call the igbos to come out ooo and vote for their brother Jimi. We have been waiting for them

mirakuru:
Stop attributing your failure to certain ethnic group, nobody is hating on you or preventing you from captaining the Nigerian ship. But the problem is sociologically your ethnic group lacks political socialization and culture..hence the reason you will continue to be behind other ethnic groups...even the so called SS has tasted federal power..your stubborness won't let you...bow for elders!

Are you saying Igbos are behind other ethnic groups? and the eason this is is because they haven't produced or will no not produce the president? out of curiousity, how would you rank the ethnic groups in Nigeria... #1, 2 3 4 etc...?indulge me, if you will.

Menace2Society:
We Igbo developed Lagos and Abuja,we are developing South Africa right now don 't worry Alaigbo shall be free

Olee Mgbe?

Alcatraz001:
We are watching the ibos and all there shenanigans...............m.We told you not to take our gentility for weakness but you refused,hope you are ready for whaats coming?

I hope you have imported area boys from nnewi to help you fight the Agberos? Lagos belongs to Yorubas and it is not a No man's Land as you are fond of saying. Let's see how it goes though....

But there are Igbo reps in lagos representing Oshodi and co. ... so how is it Yoruba land as opposed to Nigeria-land (since you don't like 'no man's land'?)

abduljabbar4:
These Yorubas have goooooood leaders.
How can somebody leave his land to come and select your leader for you?
Big Ups to the Oba.
Lagos has been lead by an opposition party for too long. Now there is a golden opportunity and some people from another land are trying to stop it? That's not fair. I just hope they won't report him to ICC

nobody will report anybody... they will use their pVC and show him that after God, power belongs to the people.

Moreover, I don't condone violence, but I feel if this was done in person, those men should have beat him up. lol JK.

What a joker!!!!He sounds so scared of losing lol...

ChinemeOkpan:
Buhari has 25% in 26 states presently

It is over for Jonathan

says who? you or INEC?

jogojogo:
Sorry!!!!Buhari simply does not need 25%from any of the eleven (11) SS/SE States to win. HE would get that from the other 25 States including FCT.

how sure are you?

can you bet your life on it?

globalresource:
Eh PDP magic wand. No wonder the SE and SS results are coming late despite the small region. Even though I believe Jonathan would win there but not with this margin. Weldone PDP magicians

If indeed PDP magicians tampered with the results, you should be thankful, because actual results will not have have APC getting more than 8 votes in the state.

earthgreeners:
Katsina = Anambra + Enugu + Ebonyi
Kano= Abia + Imo + Bayelsa
Gombe= Delta + Edo
Jigawa= Cross River + Akwa-Ibom
Borno+ Yobe+ Sokoto = Rivers + Ekiti

Shey PDP wan create new states

On Standby
Kogi, Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ondo, Kwara, Abuja, Kaduna, Kebbi, Zamfara, Bauchi, Niger

Provided PDP wins Benue, Plateau, Taraba, Nassarawa & Adamawa (I even dash Dem dis one)

Sai Buhari jorrr

You may win total number of votes, so Katsina can = total south east; but if Buhari FAILS TO GET 25% in 24 states... he can NOT be declared president. So lets keep counting...
