EzeUchea,
Ibaha man. Now answer my question.

Gayigaskia, are u from SS? Now I really don't get u. Refusing to kiss northern asses is not an automatic call for violence. If it is to you then u are just proving to us that some in SS kissed ass out of fear that the North will give em a good blow to head. I see nothing diplomatic about his statement. Its very insolent of him to arrogate himself and his region as capable of rewarding Eastern/southern people. Like I said many of u in that region have lost all sense of pride you need the Northerner to feel validated. Tufia!!! The North is in no way in the position to reward anyone since they are not owners of Nigeria and Presidency unless they are to you. What are u people, KIDS? U want some Northern cookie?

Lol Ugbo? Biko where are these Ugbo people now?

When that gworo eater talks about SS who is he really talking about? Maybe the Ijo, Ogoni and Edo have always been the group known to lick Northern butts. He should group others into his league of ass kissers. Reward? LOL See insult? Man its a shame how some of our southern ppl have rendered themselves impotent. When have we ever heard of any zone rewarding the North? So na dem be mastera and should reward their SS servants? So the North-west must approve b4 SS man can serve the nation. Damn shame.

Onlytruth, don't mind Roadstar. Instead of using his brain to understand issues he is here beating his chest like as if Anambra is the source of his frustration and the disgrace Abia have come to be. Abia state has the potential to be the best and enviable state due to the natural resources, talented people like the Aba, and tourist attractions in places like Arochukwu my town but naw their leaders and the people have rendered the state useless. Anambra state had its own issue and leaders and the people chose to tackle it head on not get all defensive when suggestions are offered. Yes Abians might wanna look towards Anambra for a way out. No need for useless pride. What is going on in Abia affects us all. I have no qualms agreeing that Abians need to try something new.

Roadstar, do u have any solutions or just chest beating?

Truly, I really don't care if they are eskimo. Why preach all that black man vs white to me when u should be in Kaduna telling ur brothers that they are blacks not Arabs? Did the white care about your opinion when Europe rose against German Nazi and their Italian allies? Truth here is that Hausa-Fulani oligarchy have become a menace and there is no need to sugar-coat anything in the name of being black like them. Do they see us as fellow black? Heck naw. Your average Hausa-Fulani man will rather deal with Arab muslims than you and I hence they riot and kill so called fellow blacks over issues concerning Arabs like Palestinians and Denmark cartoons. Preach to some1 else.

Roadstar, ewuuuooo I wu onye Abia? Mcshewwww

Ignore "by the name"
I meant "by the time"

I'm making all these typos coz I'm using my cell phone.

Onlytruth, GBAM!!! I'm glad we are the same page. What we need the most in the East and Nigeria at large is a total attitude adjustment. Nigerians love window dressing. How u can u move a state or nation forward when u haven't gone back to fix issues that led the state its current predicament? Like u said he is setting a good example and I believe by the name he is done majority of Anambra ppl will finally realize that they have rights and and no issue should be swept under the rug. I'll rather have Obi than Fashola if these issues such as non-payment of pensions, salaries, aren't addressed. Man I pray that 1 day we ourselves will have the power and ability to carry our state forward. To make Anambra the state that it should be a lot of work will have to be done no matter the inconvenience. I'm glad majority of Anambra are voting with their senses.

Bluetooth, The North doesn't need any compromise. Who are they? U act like these people are gods. No zoning come 2011 if they don't like let heaven and earth collide. The days of bending backwards to our own detriment in the name of appeasing these desert rats are long gone. It was this back-bending in the name of compromise that got us in this mess since the 60s.

WOW!!! What a disgrace? Abians might wanna look towards Anambra for solutions.

Chinua Achebe

He needs not to come.

Sapele, man yeye politicians. Asking some1 to do what he won't do even under worse scrutiny. Trying to hard to score political points over an issue that needs not to be politicized.

*might NOT*

Bluetooth, I mean elephant projects like tarring a few choice roads building mega malls and hospitals, etc. Those are good stuff but they don't do anything as far as ridding the system of disease corruption and lack of accountability. Yes u have all the skyscrapers yet the state is corrupt, crime is high, the structures are crumbling already, etc. I believe that any governor should be working on some of these issues that might seem so colorful and noticeable immediately coz once those things are taken care of the rest will come with ease. There will be no real economic progress in these states until issues like steady power supply is solved so they might as well quit wasting borrowing $$ building things they can't keep up with. I have heard stories of people landing @ International airports in Lagos and even Abuja and there is no light. Heat and sweat everywhere. Spend $$ on the most important issue but Nigerians are highly gullible and impressionable so all the governor needs to do is build and tar a few things and he becomes Alpha and Omega. Open ur eyes people.

Good governance is not just about executing gigantic projects and building structures that we all know after 5 yrs will look ancient due to lack maintenance by the people and the government. Obi doesn't have to waste limited $$$ his state has to compete with Fashola and Amaechi or Chime who might be YES building skyscrapers but are neglecting other important things that can actually sustain the state and provide the environment for long-lasting economic and
infrastructure developments. Providing security, setting foundations, good leadership, improving human rights, etc can do a lot more and far beyond than just cosmetic work that might end up getting trashed by the next governor. Donald Duke's departure and the steady decline of development under his predecessor is a good example. Its 1 thing to build stuff its another thing to maintain and expand it. Chime, Fashola, Amaechi are doing good in their own right but u cannot dismiss Peter Obi either. His performing well in his own way. His achievements doesn't have the mirror that of Fashola. I like long-term stuff not short-term.

Naijamini,
What views? The so-called animosity isn't that bad please

Katsumo, sweetie no offense but it is what it is.

APGA I hope they are more liberal

Leave religion out of Nigerian politics and we'll be good. Naija ppl can be so gullible.

Haterz

Whatever they need to get over it. Rival tribes sold eachother and some were also deceived into thinking they were going to work and come back. Its sad history but its time to move da hell on.

Ezeuche,
Evidently @ "Nsido mfinna mfo Udezue?   Oh I forgot u no hear nor speak Ibibio."

My Ibibio is rusty but I'm still learning. "Iden mfo?" Is "how are you?" I can't remember what Nsido means. Now translate am n Igbo for me or I'll just ask my friend.

Good job APGA

APGA is definitely growing. This is a great news and I wish them more success. As long as they continue to lead by good example they will become a party to reckon with in the South and nation at large.

Bk/babe, if that's the case then the Yoruba and Hausa are the fools coz the smart Igbo is sipping on grey-goose while the two urchins decimate each other. Dummy!!

Kalu himself should resign 1st. Practice what u preach.

Only in Swest Yoruba land can the Hausa grow sharp teeth like this. Go pass Benin and it will suicidal to try such nonsense.

FLgators, Nigerians just need to learn how to respect and accept eachother's existence. We don't need to go hunting for wives and husbands across the Benue and Niger to achieve peace coz it won't make any difference when there is trouble.
