Deede Mmamma o...,

Congratulations on your indisputable victory at the just concluded gubernatorial election in Abia State. We Abians are proud to say you are our very own, a technocrat extraordinaire with a passion for human and capital development.

Abia State, with all its promises, is on the trenches. Thanks to the crop of mediocre governor's we have had. Abians initially gave each incoming leader a benefit of doubt (despite knowing how they rigged their way into the coffers of the state) just as the late PDP President Yaradua was given in 2007. While history will be kind to Yaradua, it's not the case with these PDP governors.

Now the mantle of Leadership has been handed down to you by the good people (and residents) of Abia State, do not disappoint us. Abia State may be the 3rd least poverty stricken state in Nigeria (based on NBS 2022 MPI Statistics), it only looks good ON PAPER. Abia today as you know is a Shadow of itself. Abia State is naked and neglected. If the FG neglects us, should the State government neglects its own people?

Remember the enviable footprints of our past leaders MICHAEL OKPARA (Premier of Former Eastern region) and SAM MBAKWE (Governor of Old Imo State) and make your own indelible print in the positive sands of time. Abia State isn't short of sons and daughters who are competent enough to drive development in the state with you. They are everywhere. Engage them and ignore charlatans.

Apart from the monthly Federal Allocation, plug the leakages that is rife in our other sources of revenue:

1. Aba Market and Industrial cluster
2. 13% derivation from NDDC

Also, see the creating more revenue channels through:
1. Tourism (Azumini blue river, War Museum, Aro Ibini Ukpabi shrine, etc)
2. Sports (Enyimba FC, Nigeria's most successful football club and Abia Warriors FC)

Remember Abia State needs infrastructural renewal. As a technocrat with a knack for wooing investors (as you did in Diamond bank), create a public-private partnership for building long lasting roads, bridges and a befitting seaport (Obuaku Seaport Project). We can reinvent Abia to be the mecca of industrialization in Africa with your leadership.

Keep away from charlatans, be diplomatic and compassionate in your discourse with pro-biafrans (MASSOB, IPOB, BZM, etc). Show them real development and welfare in order to convince and not to coerce them into building a new Abia State of Nigeria.

As the CSO of the state, arrest troublemakers who hide under agitations. Arrest criminals who bring disrepute to the state. Lastly, SALARIES OF CIVIL SERVANTS MUST BE PAID IN FULL. You have done it before in the private sector, you can do it again in the public sector.

Yagaziere gi deede'm. I am looking Forward to see you shine for Ndi Abia State.

Many Igbo ladies are beautiful. Please are Igbo ladies the most beautiful in Nigeria?

Edo Ladies are the prettiest
Igbo Ladies follows
Then Fulanis.....
Followed by Yorubas


I am Igbo by the way....

akpumping7720:
I am not a writer because I don't plan to become one now or in the nearest future so please manage my use of words.

I hardly advise people especially adults because I have this belief that a person above 18 years should be able to reason and do things in the normal way.

I hard to force myself to write this because I know it will not go viral due to my style of writing. Infact I will be so happy to pay a prolific writer whom I can pour my heart to while he writes in a more captivating way so that it can go viral.

Let me go straight to the point; I am writing to my Igbo brothers to see beyond what is really happening in Nigeria politics today. I am always sad when I see influencers like David Hundeyin, Aisha Yesufu, Chude and the others slandering and dishing out propagandas towards other political opponents. You might call me whatever names you like or you might call me a bigot; it's fine. But I will just pour out my mind and move on.

Beginning from 1960, the 3 major ethnics have tasted the presidency during the military era, Aguyi Ironsi, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Tafawa Balewa, the first Yoruba man to become the head of state is Olusegun Obasanjo. I don't want to dwell much on past history so as not to open healing wounds.

The damages these influencers are causing the Igbos will mar future chances of Igbo presidency; Soludo gave comments on all these but he was bullied and Insulted online. People who have worked beyond just their circle of friends or tribes alone knows how politics works in Nigeria. We all say a picture of Jonathan with Tinubu online in a happy mood. Despite all the attacks Tinubu media team launched against Jonathan government prior to the build up to 2015 elections. How come such person will still be laughing with someone who took the presidency from him? But what most people don't know, is that sensible politicians play what we call underground games and that t is how politics is played.

In politics you don't create enemies forever; you build bridges, you learn to appreciate your hosts and speak good of your hosts. Only your region cannot give you the presidency, reach out to people that matters. Lobby with the ruling party if you don't have the power to endure and build a formidable political party like Asiwaju. Strike at the right time with your connections. Peter Obi made a grave mistake when he came to Lagos by not visiting the Oba of Lagos(I won't say much on this but people of wisdom will understand better).

Stop this mentality that your tribe is better than every other tribes. Your gentility doesn't mean you are coward. Yoruba used to say that if you prostrate for a dwarf doesn't mean your height will be reduced when you stand up.

I am appealing to my Igbo brothers to caution all these people pushing them against the opponents. You don't bully people, you don't defame people to power it's not possible. David Hundeyin is from Badagry. FG has approved the Badagry port; which will bring massive development. Aisha's region too is witnessing massive development . But these people keep pushing you guys and you all are cheering them up. Reflect on this

Shalom.

Please leave Ndigbo out of your worries. Did we ask for your advice? Just leave us please.

As for your fellow commenters or monikers, tell them to go and hug transformer, or jump into the lagoon. Your thuggery and violence in the name of politics is disgusting. Leave us alone please. Nigeria will never reach it's potential with your stupid brand of politics.

Good day.

Any elder who promotes lies, thuggery, violence and ethnic bigotry can never be given the respect he/she so craves for.

I personally will insult his existence. I have done it before and I will do it again.

Some elders today have no shame. Greed and vainglory has reduced them to touts.

sukkot:
yes Sir I agree. Salute

Before nko? Are you both thug-loving bigots?

XAUBulls:
Indeed.

They even phone in to a popular radio station based in VI, Lagos that
I listen to online to talk trash and spread lies.

The authorities must be clearly intentional in bringing these rabid ethnic bigots and fascists to justice by fully activating the existing laws on cyber defamation. The Interpol will also come in handy for clinical sting operations.


Cc: Sukkot.

Suddenly the word "Fascists" has come to trend in your loose talk. I don't blame you. It's the weaponization of hunger and ethnic bigotry that has affected you that is making you spew lies and rubbish.

SHIVA001:
It's a myth, it does not exist

So says a dude who wants to believe his own lies.

OneTemplate:
Go and deal with your pathological issue, spare us the whataboutism and stop deflecting.

I am not the one from an ethnic group whose collective reasoning is so outlandishly compromised by hate to the extent they unanimously installed a yahoo boy and scammer , I.e Nnamdi Kanu, as head of Igbos worldwide that professors have to cower before.

Now the SE is the proud founder of a world-famous terrorist group in the form of Kanu-led IPOB.

No one ever told you others have no issues but your problems , as an ethnic group, are very serious and troubling.

Pls show me where the world recognized KANU/IPOB as terrorist organization. Pls don't change the topic, show me, just show me.

I go use you do fufu today.

laurel03:
For him 8years as Governor of Anambra what does he did that raise the standard of living of people in his state that is outstanding projects or innovative policies, meaningful sustainable projects and ideas that you can just point at.. Obi was one of the most useless governor in Nigeria back then and was siphoning LGA money to fidelity bank. But just because the easterners want their own they started packaging him as saint.. https://www.nairaland.com/870945/what-exactly-peter-obi-doing.. This topic was about Obi far back.

Even your conscience knows how silly you sound with this pathetic post of yours.

Keegan:
When you keep telling lies to yourself on regular basis you tend to believe those lies at the end.

"All those channel of fraud will be blocked" by Pandora man? Wonders shall never end. Obi is overrated, simple.

Anything sha.....just to discredit the man. Your Tinubu or whoever is not half as a man of integrity as Obi.

We shall continue to oppose the government of thugs and drug cartels.

Christistruth03:
They are far worse than the Facists Soyinka called them

They are the Black version of Adolf Hitler’s Nazis

They are Political Bullies , Barbarians and Ethnic Supremacists

and on top of all that Peter Obi truly lost the Elections

Zombie sighted.

Obidients will no longer treat you corrupt souls with kids gloves

OneTemplate:
It is terrible bro. With the prejudiced view the world already has of Nigerians as criminals and scammers they will now add racist, terrorist, fundamentalist, dangerous bullies, lynch mob psychos etal to our already battered image.

All because of Obi's candidacy and his Obidullard terrorists and Neanderthals. I can bet with anyone that regionalism will arrive asap if only to spare Nigeria this scandal and embarrassment every 4 year Presidential election cycle hosting popular Igbo candidates.

Mark my word, leaders will now accept, even if grudgingly, that reducing the power of the presidency and centre, via more autonomy for States and region, is the only way to escape this embarrassment. There will be a resolve to put Igbos in their place once and for all. We cannot carry on like this.

This is global embarrassment for Nigeria from an uncouth, bullying, intolerant, terrorist and fundamentalist ethnic group that does not know how to respect boundaries.

See this hypocrite yapping nonsense.

You attacked Okonjo -iweala when she received global accolades. You attacked Goodluck when the world celebrated his stand in hand over peacefully. You attack International bodies for not labeling KANU as a terrorist.

You are a hypocrite. Spare us your sermon

Ijebulogic:
OMG...it is one thing to support a candidate and its another thing to be a fanatic...this is just ridiculous. PO is a good man but his supporters are destroying him. Exactly what happened with Trump and his extremist supporters.

See this loser trying to sound apt. No sane individual will just allow a known thug and member of drug cartel to run his affairs that affects in finance and livelihood in Nigeria

Musty4ahmed1:
This headless mobs have succeeded in destroying the political career of Obi. Obi is finished politically, majority of other ethnic group that voted him are seriously regretting

In your dreams....

plaindealer:
Yet, Obi Twitter cult and a toxic fascist mob attacked the TIMES journalist because she's not entitled to speak her mind or to be heard.

Do you not see the hypocrisy and the meaningless rubbish you posted?

No sense, always talking meaningless rubbish.

Thank God for exposing her yourself. She spoke "her mind", not the reality on ground.

PulaPower:
Typical character of a terrorist..

With these attitudes, they’ll move up from 10th position to 5th position soon..

I personally like what nature is doing to them. For any stones they throw kept on coming back at them. It was Tinubu they were all wishing bad, we all know who's now currently in detention..

Jah is never with hypocrites!

You are indeed out of touch with reality.

Who is 10th? Oh...sorry, I forgot you are not informed

Kobojunkie:
1. By "biblical metaphors", you mean to state God who Himself declared the dirge/song He sung in that context was to the King of Tyre was being mumu?

Dude I'm working, I shall reply you later. However meet a bible scholar or seasoned pastor, let them explain it to you

Kobojunkie:
Ezekiel 28 vs 12 clearly informs you that the one in who iniquity was found is in fact the King of Tyre.

Lol.... obviously you don't understand biblical metaphors...I don't have the luxury of explaining certain texts.

Kobojunkie:
1. Where is any of what you claim here recorded I'm scripture?

Bible refers Satan as the "Father of lies"

Scripture also says "in him was found iniquity". Look it up please.

Kobojunkie:
1. Brought evil from where abeg?

2. And how exactly did Satan acquire this free will you easily bestow on him in the world that was supposedly created by God alone?

3. You are kidding, right? God didn't create Evil but because God created Satan, God then had to be blamed for all that Satan created. So, Satan has the ability to create the same as God?

4. Free will will be put to test? Abeg, where una dey get these una ideas from cause none of it comes close to what is in fact stated in scripture?

Satan created evil by making a wrong choice. If you designed an automated machine to work in a certain way, and you discover it's malfunctioning, what do you do? Were you the one who created the malfunction?

CXLVII:
Abia State people are very good at voting incompetence!


When you think it will get better, they vote-in the worst!

Party they changed, incompetence they still voted for!

Who would blame you? You probably haven't been cured from the bigotry and inferiority complex you were poisoned with.

Owerriboi:
You have been posting this same two pictures for almost the entire 8yrs of Ikpeazu administration. Aren't you ashamed to even trying to defend a failed town like aba. Ikpeazu did one substandard flyover and two roads in 8yrs. But you are shameless enough to compare it to a state that achieved international airport, ICC, stadium, flyovers, bridges, etc in the same period under consideration.

Ikpeazu cannot even pay ordinary salaries. Aren't you cursed for defending such a failure that made your abia state a laughing stock in Nigeria.

Onitsha, Awka and Nnewi has better and standard roads that the sewage pit toilet that's Aba or the glorified village that's umuahia.

Stop deceiving yourself, abia is the worst and most backward state in Nigeria.

Dude I dislike ikpeazu o.....but you are stewpid for the nonsense you wrote about Abia. Check this latest NBS Statistics and know your place.

Leoniine:
Always the excuse first.

Always with the excuses first!

Damn.

Maybe this. Maybe that. Perhaps. What if...

Where are the equivalent of the tons of your gender-tailored accusations?

"Fear women?", "beeches ain't loyal", "keep them for the streets next time" and the rest of the unprintable, unspeakable thought pieces and phrases from hell y'all always reserve for women?

What ever happened to BREAKING UP DECENTLY? Asin, like an adult or something?

Abi it is unfathomable to you that a man can just have a wicked heart ni. Because when y'all relate with each other, you can point to examples of one guy or the other who backstabbed or betrayed you, but when it comes to women the same men will suddenly turn to saints.

Oga o.

You ladies are the ones with gender-tailored accusations all the time. Free the dude jaare.....

XerXerz:
Jobless dirty aba pig you camp on nairaland 24/7 spewing trash. The guy you quoted can feed you and your poor family for 100yrs without blinking. Jobless miscreants are usually the first to yap jobless. Dirty aba ipob miscreant

You u really have inferiority complex. Sorry o

XerXerz:
Aba pig is what you are and what you shall remain, are you angry that I call you what you deserved? Lol

You just learnt about zoophillia, aba pig lol. Like as I said earlier, everyone from abia is cursed and stands no chance to advice anyone.

Abia is the worst and most backward state in Nigeria, but you think a pig like you have an idea. You claimed to have an idea but you haven't used it to fix a cesspit that's aba or the glorified village that's umuahia.

Ofcos you aba pigs like you are of lesser class than pigs elsewhere because abia your state is cursed and useless. The only thing abia brings to the table in igboland is creation of terrorist group known as ipob. You people are useless in igboland.

You are indeed in need of a Psychiatrist.

Please, an informed nairalander should please educate us.

NwekereNdokl:
Shut up your dirty aba mouth. Onitsha didn't lose any investment because Abinbev is already in Onitsha, so the right thing was to build the second plant in Ogun. Abia state is the cause of insecurity in igboland. Abia is a failed state that why they feel that SE should be like Abia but they have failed

You are such a loser. Even with the corrupt PDP, Abia is ahead of you and your state. I am voting LP. There is need for change so that comparisons can be made.

NwekereNdokl:


Mumu man keep deceiving yourself. Look at the current outlook of aba in this new video. See how you are desperately trying to cover up the dilapidated shithole aba

I feel nothing but pity for this self-delusi*n of yours

Illiterates are downplaying his speech while wiseheads are giving him a thumbs up

sherlock229:
This same Abia state? dirty Armpit of Africa?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7nRAa9SBGQ

Shame and inferiority complex will not allow you post current videos of Aba.

I made a post on January 3, it took you two weeks to respond. Cowa#d.
