NOT IN MY NAME – TONY OKOROJI

I am a very proud Igbo man. I am also a Christian.
But not for one minute did I buy the argument that
because of ethnic or religious consideration, it was my duty to support a leadership that is not committed to any of the values that I hold.

The Igbo man is known for his inventiveness. We
are incredibly hard working and can compete with
anyone from anywhere as long as there is a level
playing field. Our quarrel with the rest of Nigeria has
been that now and again, we have been visited with
hatred because of our inventiveness and hard work.

I am therefore pained that by the actions of some
election contractors of Igbo extraction, every person from the South East of Nigeria may now be a suspect in the hideous enterprise of “vote swinging”
and the repulsive attempt to manipulate the
outcome of the current elections.

For the Igbos to have been seen as the main backers of government that has continuously
stood good sense on its head and shown very little
strategic intellect is a historic mistake. The
destructive alliance that may have suggested that my people have willy-nilly supported the
unsustainable financial corruption and value corruption that has recently gone on in Nigeria, has done the Igbo man a lot of harm.

The only thing we
have achieved is to make ourselves irrelevant in the Nigerian political process. Can you imagine the Igbos, a critical part of the tripod on which Nigeria has stood, becoming a minority in Nigeria’s political
market place?

Let it be known that the biggest loser in the current
elections is not Goodluck Jonathan. It is the Igbo man.
How could we not have seen that Nigerians have
been desperately yearning for change and tap into that burning desire? 2.50% in Enugu; 2.64% in
Anambra; 3.60% in Abia; 5.97% in Ebonyi! Apart
from Imo, no state in the South East is recorded as
having given up to 6% of its vote to the next
President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Who
set up this stupid rigging machine that has rigged
the Igbos out of Nigerian politics?
How did we become mere spectators in a game in which we have the ability to produce the center
forward? What exactly did we get from the PDP to
mortgage the future of our children? While the rest of the country was running away from the odium of
that political party, we were kissing the PDP, cuddling the PDP and making love like crazy with the PDP. Can you imagine that we are now the owners of a terribly afflicted PDP? We even killed APGA to get what? What a tragedy!

It must be said that there are many Igbos who did not buy into this abysmal gamble of our so called leaders. I want my grandchildren to know that I was
not part of this madness. Let them be told that, like
many Igbos, I stood firm with the time honoured
values of the Igbo man and refused to sell my conscience for a mess of porridge. History must record it that whatever shenanigan has taken place has happened despite our protest.

We, the Igbos have brilliant men and women across the world. It is time for a new crop of leaders to emerge from Igboland, a leadership that has a good strategic understanding of the Nigerian political environment. We need a leadership that understands that having a lot of money does not
necessarily mean having a lot of good sense. Every
serious minded Igbo man and woman must seek
this. It is very urgent!

An Open Letter To Igbos By Rochas Okorocha

"A time of reflection for the Igbos?– Okorocha Speaks Again

Dear Igbo Compatriots:

One of the closest Igbo man to the President Elect is Dr Chris Ngige Onwa, a Senator who was defeated in the Senatorial Election.

See how bad Igbos are at strategizing? They couldn't override a pathological hatred for General Buhari to make a hedge bet and return this man to the Senate, to enhance his chances at Senate President, incase General Buhari wins, which he did.

Instead folks played tribal and religious politics to the tilt as drunken sailors, and failed the man and the chance to make history as Senate President.

That's what happens when emotions trips common sense and folks succumb to hustlers like Peter Obi and Arthur Eze, hustlers after their own interests instead of the masses they pretend to serve.

I urged caution, I pleaded that we were making a huge mistake to hitch our wagon on Jonathan who wasn't going to win. And predictably he lost, so also our chance in the new administration.

I hate to gloat.

But maybe, maybe, only maybe he gets a good ministerial appointment, but nothing beats being Senate President.

Igbos are very bad at politics.

Fifty years after independence, we are yet to produce a president when others have taken multiple turns. Our answer? Blame others! If you only Hausas didn't do this or Yorubas didn't do that, perhaps the god of politics will bless our lot.

And sadly it won't stop until we learn to coexist with others instead of our 'better than thou' attitude when dealing with the Hausas and Yorubas. We are not better than anyone, these folks we thumb our noses at, are God's creatures like us.

We don't like the Hausas and we don't like the Yorubas, yet we populate their States in search for our livelihood.

Our politics should mirror our economic aspirations, not the other way around. There is no wisdom in living in the North, earning a living, yet despise the Northerners. That's being ungrateful. The gods of politics don't like that.

How long can this collective amnesia insulate us from meaningfully seating at the table, making contributions to Nigeria's political evolution?

How long can this foolishness go on?

How long?

There is a miserable silence across the land today, because we are realizing that we were sold off for pennies by pimps who parade as Igbo leaders.

Where are they?

Anyone home?"

Hmmm ... I sincerely hope some people are listening.

Change. They changed their minds.

Mama Peace is No 1

I've been scammed too at Alaba market about 10 years ago in a similar fashion and since then i've never gone there again . Advice: Avoid Alaba @ all cost.

Fela

My opinion is that they plan to replace Jega with someone who would rig for PDP. Jegas tenure is due in June so before the six weeks expires they will ask him to proceed on leave.

This Guy was my junior @ Nigerian Military School, I knew him even before he was admitted into NMS. This is a great loss to his family and the ex boys association

Wow

Tuface is so fertile. Other than his successful music career, I'm Sure he would have made a very successful career as a sperm donor. The guy is so Blessed, everything he touches turns to gold or children.

So what are all this great people doing to help their country? When the world thinks of Somalia, people only think of pirates and al shabab

Abegi joor, was it not the same price water house that were the external auditors of the defunct intercontinental, phb and oceanic banks and saw nothing wrong with their loan books until cbns hammer came hard on the banks. Na today

One day, when I build my factory, ill get Indians to run it for me. Why do u think Dangote's Biz is run by Indians. From the shareholders point of view, they are the best but from the employees point of view, they are downright horrible.

I was a banker for 6yrs, I came to work one morning and found out i could not log on to my system as i do every morning. I was asked to resign for doing absolutely nothing wrong. The worst part is that i was one of those bankers without a saving culture. I however took a decision that i was done with banking, so instead of looking 4 another bankg job, i got some support and started a firm. So far, so good with me. The firm is growing, started with just one staff, now i have 4 and i have my peace of mind.
Banking is just like a learning ground, the aggresiveness we use to mkt the bank's products, just try putting half that effort into ur own biz and watch it grow.Personally, i have no regrets not going back to banking as i am currently earning just as much as i was, i have lesser expenses (I no longer have to buy tm shirts,designer shoes and suits and also all my regular taxers have pipped down) , i have all the time in the world, i haven't been harassed (insulted)by anyone in a long time,I'm an employer of labour, the firm still has potentials to grow bigger and bigger and i don't miss any of the banking politics. Banking however is a good learning ground as it will instill passion, integrity,confidence and aggresiveness in you. Just plan your exit properly so that you won't be caught unawares as in my case.

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH THE STATEMENT. POLITICS IN 9JA SHA. I'M SURE THE TRADERS PRESIDENT IS BRING SPONSORED BY ANOTHER PARTY?

Palm oil stew! Very peperish with iru and goat meat.

Its not just that GTB sacked staff but the fact that they sacked without paying the affected staff off. Segun Agbaje the new MD is a tyrant and thats putting it softly. He has no regard for staff and customers alike and he takes very irrational decisions. He encourages maltreatment and victimisation of staff. He is a Crack user and exhibits it in his character.He is slowly destroying the lagacy Fola Adeola and Tayo Adenirokun toiled to build.

DEAR MODERATOR,FRONT PAGE PLS AS THIS COULD GUIDE PEOPLE MAKE CAREER DECISIONS.

Gtbank has become sthg else under segun. Segun has always been a wicked person and was not able exhibit his wickedNess until now as the late tayo would not let him. The guys who were asked to go were sacked cuz they got a B in the just concluded appraisal . A B is not really a bad score but trust Segun na. Anyway it just goes out to say that there is no job security anymore in the country. Nobody is fighting for the rights of Nigerians and so people get away with all sort. I swear let the same GTEtry this rubbish in their Ghana subsidiary if their banking license is not revoked.

Men Gosh, You guys are so dumb, the A in the eye only means the product is fortified with Vitamin A which is good for your eyes. Talk about Duh.

In fact u guys keep speaking grammer here. The lands were even over subscribed and thus the reason why it was shared via ballot. Igala people are not hostile people. They have been igbo people in my village since when I was a child. Its the igbo people tht run the chemists,provision stores,restaurants in most villages in igala land.Never have I heard of hostilities against the igbos in all of igala land.Your problem in this country is with the hausa and fulanis who hate igbos so much and are envious of them and with no other tribe in Nigeria. This should be viewed as a win win situation.Igala and igbo people share boundaries via Enugu state and Anambra state.We should encourage this program.

How sad, when the real criminals are stealing Trillions and are being celebrated.

@ Krucifax LMAO. Oya name reserves
