If the desperation is to make Nigeria better, i'm all for it.

As a matter of fact, with the way that Nigeria is fast sliding into the abyss, any leader who wants to salvage the situation should be in a desperate mood to do so, unless all of us will all us will be consumed.

Yes PO, if they say that you're desperate, pls be. Sincere and honest Nigerians will support the desperation.

Now, you don't know if its that Bitters that killed him. The first thing you should demand for is an autopsy in order to find out the exact casue of death. Afterwards, you can start making recommendations. I'm not against the control of Bitters and other aphrodisiacs that litter our streets, but its better to always take decisions from an informed point.

madridguy:
I hope the FG will step forward and put some restrictions on all this poisons hiding behind bitters this bitter that.. Its killing men and its so shameful as early as 5 AM you see both young and old men drinking those stuffs.

Our forefather married above 4 wives and they actively satisfied them without taking poisons as enhancement.

Take good food, fruit and engage in exercise alot. Many young men today cannot walk a short distance like from Oshodi to Mushin, you see them flying around okada for a distance of 5 mins by trekking.

As a man, cultivate the habit of eating cooked or roasted unripe plantain and also, you can alos slice it, sun dry it and pound it with africa black pepper and use the powder to take hot ogi every morning. This is enough for you so far you do away from junk foods and tell your wife to stop using seasoning and spicy for cooking for you.

TravelRe: Lagos Installs Speed Limit Monitors, Imposes N50,000 Fine by ValNwachi75: 10:41am On Mar 28, 2025
I've tried to maintain 80km on 3MB and it feels like the cars behind me will run me over. I think 100km on 3MB should be the speed limit while 80km should be the maximum on the other roads.

santaclaws:
Speed limit on 3rd Mainland Bridge and every highway should be 100km/h at least, other roads can have 80km/h. I don't know if their plan is to frustrate car owners in Lagos, but if the APC government wants to make life hard for Lagosians, they'll see the result and it won't be funny!

When Lagos residents who are struggling to fuel their cars start getting naked for VIO officers, maybe Sanwo-Olu will have sense. 80km/h speed limit on 3rd mainland bridge and 50k fine? No wahala!
PoliticsRe: Illegal Dissolution Of LG Councils a Treasonable Offence – AGF, Fagbemi by ValNwachi75: 3:20pm On Feb 19, 2025
The AG is right in this case based on the autonomy granted the LGAs by the constitution and ratified by the Supreme court. But herein lies the problem - when the executive set a precedence by disregarding the constitution and court judgements, its bound to set up a ripple effect. So, this is the outcome of the flagrant abuse of the rule of law by the executive. When the executive bring home an ant-infested wood, they should not complain when lizards begin to pay them visit.
CrimeRe: Man Took His 6-Year-Old Nephew To Ekiti Herbalist For Money Ritual by ValNwachi75: 3:35pm On Feb 18, 2025
The correct question should be "what is it with ritual money making all over Nigeria?".

We've a crisis on our hands and our government seems not to be paying any heed. I truly commend what the Anambra state government is doing in trying to mitigate this crisis in their state. This is not a time for mockery or making fun of states or regions that make the news as regards this crime. Every region in the country is culpable. A serious government would've declared a state of emergency on ritual killing by now. I'll suggest that other states take up the approach that Anambra state has adopted and simultaneously address this matter.

CrimeRe: Ogoshi Brothers Jailed For 17 Years In US For Sextortion Scam by ValNwachi75: 11:14am On Sep 06, 2024
While i agree with you about "tribalizing" crimes, it's about time some of us starts owning up to certain crimes that are peculiar to our people and began a conscious effort to fight against it by getting our communities and traditional leaders involved. For instance, if my people are constantly mentioned for a certain crime like drug dealing, i will expect my community leaders to look beyond the fact that these people are also Nigerians and admit that they are from my stock or tribe or village. So that when they address their people, they'll personally implore them not to bring shame to their community and country by discouraging such criminal acts.

It should be a worry for honest leaders of a tribe or community that their people is always associated with certain type of crime. They should come together and tell their wards to stop bringing shame to their people by making conscious effort to discourage them from partaking ion such criminal activities, rather than saying "afterall other tribes also commit other crimes or similar crimes"

Anytime i see an Igbo name associated with drug dealing, i personally feel ashamed, and i wonder why our leaders are not addressing this problem on the local level. Its the same way that i expect to see Fulani leaders address that spate of kidnapping that is mostly associated with their kinsmen. Similarly for Yoruba leaders and Edo leaders when it comes to human killing for rituals and human trafficking for prostitution respectively.

Lalami3232:
Rather than everyone coming together to speak against this fraud, you will see these tribal bigots turning this thread into a tribal war. This is why politicians are having a filled day with y'all. Someone was killed in Ibadan and some mumu dey bash other tribes and calling them skull miners. Una mumu no too much??

freddie009:
The only help the government can render is giving out money, these are things that cause inflation. Why don't we devise a plan where students can be employed and they should be paid for service rendered and get work experience?
This is what happens when a government is daft. The guys are not willing to put in a deep thought into providing lasting solutions. What they know is only to throw some crumbs at the problem, and then run off and be screaming that they've done something mighty. That's why you're hearing palliative here and there.

Let me tell the government this! I think that parents of these students will rather have decent jobs where they can earn and pay for your wards, than relying on government loans to pay their school fees because they don't have jobs. The government should think about this and work towards finding a more sustainable solution.

Here's one example of how they can think;

80% of government vehicle purchases will be outsourced to local car manufacturers/assembling companies. In exchange, the govt will task these companies to create 10,000 to 20,000 jobs monthly both directly and indirectly. Same will be done in all our consumption of crude oil by-products. All these items will be purchased locally and the suppliers will be tasked with creating sustainable jobs.
PoliticsRe: Betta Edu Allegedly Returns, EFCC Keeps Mum by ValNwachi75: 11:18am On Jul 16, 2024
You can imagine the stupidity!

They're talking that someone who corruptly enriched herself is back at her job without any form of prosecution, and this idiot is here talking about where her father comes from! Tufiakwa! I spit on you!!!

ShinnBet:
Beta Edu is from Anambra .

Her father is from Anambra and not Cross River.


Her mother is from Cross River and her estranged husband whom she has since divorced and whose name she is still using is from Cross River.

She was never supposed to take the ministerial slot for Cross River just as the then Governor Ayade who nominated her for the position refused to acknowledge the nomination of a long standing jurist as the State Chief Justice all because she was not from Cross River but only married to a Cross Riverian.

So if the IPObidient want to drag Beta, they should know she is their daughter .
PoliticsRe: Abia Airport Fund: Nobody Can Question My Decision To Reverse Project — Ikpeazu by ValNwachi75: 5:07pm On May 16, 2024
Cjayboy:
Dear Ex Governor Okezie Ikpeazu,thank you for this timely clarifications,after their so called KPMG audit report and accusing you of diverting 10billion Abia Airport project.

I am, amongst the inhabitants of Aba,Abia State and going by the roads you mentioned the 10billion was rechanneled to, is nothing but fact.
Today Faulks Road in Aba, with 6kilometer length is accessible end-to-end which gulp above 6billion,but Alex Otti is building a less 6kilometer road (Phortharcourt Road) with 30billion Naira.
Osusu Road, Milverton Road,Ojike Lane etc are still standing and accessible.

Let's be truthful and eschew bitterness, hatred and tribal sentiments.
I am a non Partizan Abian and Aba Resident.
Get out of here with your lies! So, Faulks Road and Port Harcourt Road are the length? Bug off!!!

For those who don't know Aba properly, Port Harcourt Road is about 4x the length of Faulks Road. In terms of width, the current Faulks Road is about half the width of Port Harcourt Road.
PoliticsRe: Abia Airport Fund: Nobody Can Question My Decision To Reverse Project — Ikpeazu by ValNwachi75: 1:13pm On May 16, 2024
So every road project that Okezie executed during his term as governor was supposedly from the N10b he diverted from the airport project? This guy has always been a dunce, and he's opening up his mouth to prove it!

1. You approved an airport project, applied and received a loan from the bank for the same project, and then realized that your state did not have roads that'll be used to access the airport assuming it was completed.

2. After you realized this, you started disbursing monies to contractors. Some of them received as little as N12m to build roads. Abeg tell me the road that you want to build with N12m?

3. You open your mouth to say that if the govt follows the trail of the money, they'll discover that SOME jobs were done. Why should it be SOME? Why not ALL?

4. I stand to be corrected, but i think that Faulks Road was rehabilitated before you announced that you wanted to build an airport.

5. Besides, do you build an airport with N10b? Of course no! So, why then did you go and borrow N10b to build an airport knowing that the money cannot complete an airport? What it means is that your action to borrow N10b to build an airport was pre-meditated, and you executed it as planned by laundering the funds through 32 bank accounts. Imagine telling us to go and check whether an account that received the money bought asphalt or sand? We're not fools like you!

PoliticsRe: Aa Asks Court To Declare Them Winner Of The 2019 Oguta Hoa Elections by ValNwachi75(op): 11:15am On Aug 22, 2019
The Petitioners, Hon. Ezediaro Henry Uzoma and the Action Alliance where able to call over 15 witness to prove their case and all the witnesses agreed with the petitioners that election was held peacefully, results collated and announced at various polling units and duplicate copies given to agents of political parties present inline with the electoral guidelines. All the Presiding Officers that appeared as witnesses to the petitioners told the court that at the course of their training by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) prior to the election, that they were asked to declare results at the polling units and hand over duplicate copies to party agents that are present at the polling units. During the cross examination, they informed the court that upon arrival at Oguta Girls High School, venue designated by INEC for collation of results, that they were attacked by hoodlums who tore original copies of the result sheets from various polling units. They further told the court that they wrote reports to the Oguta LGA Electoral Officer in respect of the incident and advised that inline with electoral guidelines, that duplicate copies of the torn result sheets should be used for collation of results but that the Returning Officer and the Electoral Officer (EO) paid deaf ears to their suggestions.

In his defence, the court was thrown into laughter and amazement on how the defendants, Barr. Frank Ugboma and the Representative of INEC helped Hon. Ezediaro to further buttress his claims. Barr. Frank Ugboma without mincing words told the court that he personally tore the result sheets on grounds that they were fake and forged by the candidate of the Action Alliance. During cross examination, he was shown photographs of him tearing sheets of papers, he unequivocally agreed that the picture was him tearing the purported fake result sheets written and prepared by the petitioner. When asked if he was a staff of INEC, or a Security Agent that can know the original copies of result sheets, he said that he was a mere candidate of his political party for the said election. When further asked if the result sheets he tore where scrutinised by a forensic expert to ascertain whether they are original or fake copies, Barr. Ugboma said emphatic NO as forensic experts where not on hand to scrutinise the result sheets before he tore them.

The. Tribunal where perplexed when the result sheets front loaded by the defendants were discovered to have been signed by one person, Hon. Engr. Alphonsus Gerald (AG) Irona. It was discovered that His Excellency, Hon. AG Irona, the deputy governor of Imo State who hails from Oguta LGA signed 10 polling units results of 7 different Wards of Oguta LGA on the purportedly rescheduled 23rd of March, 2019 Supplimentary/Re-run election. Hon. AG Irona with same signature signed all the result sheets from 10 polling units of 7 Wards as the Agent of PDP in those polling units. In another vein, it was discovered that documents submitted to the panel by Barr. Ugboma and the PDP are mere photocopies of results submitted to a sister tribunal which were never recertified by INEC or certified by the originating court which they claimed to have photocopied them from.

When it came to the turn of INEC to start its defense, a twist alien to relevant laws of the land were discovered. INEC told the tribunal that they couldn't collate results of the cancelled units due to non voting, violence and tearing of sensitive electoral materials by hoodlums. When asked if the Electoral Guidelines permits collation of results by use of duplicate copies of result sheets, the INEC representative said in absence of original copies of result sheets, that duplicate copies of result sheets may be used as original copies to collate results with emphasis that it must be the ones issued to security agents and that its not compulsory that party agents should be given duplicate copies at the polling units. When asked if the commission reported any incident of violence in writing to the Nigeria Police or any other Law Enforcement Agency within the locality, the INEC representative said that he only communicated with the Divisional Police Officer for Oguta Police Command through his mobile telephone set. Furthermore, during cross examination, the INEC representative failed to provide Incident Forms from various Polling Units written by Presiding Officers to adduce his claim on violence at the polling units. He was asked if there are reports from Security Agents to back his claims on violence across the polling units, he said no security agent wrote report in this regard. When asked if he has powers to unilaterally cancel polling unit results without recourse to polling unit presiding officers, he said he has no such powers. To the surprise of the petitioners and Tribunal members, INEC who claimed to have declared the election of 9th March, 2019 inconclusive where unable to provide the voters register of affected polling units, number of registered voters in the affected polling units, the difference between the leading candidate and others to determine the margin of lead which they claimed was too narrow, thus, declaration of the election, inconclusive.

As both the petitioners and defense counsels have closed their cases and written addresses/replies submitted to the Tribunal, the issues which Hon. Justice Harriman led Panel are faced with, which, it's resolution will add value to our judicial process include but not limited to;

1. If the Petitioners proved their case beyond reasonable doubt.

2. Whether the 1st Respondent was duly elected based on the results of 9th/23rd of March, 2019.

3. Whether the 1st Respondent has powers to tear election result sheets on grounds that they were fake and forged result sheets.

4. Whether its lawful for one PDP agent to sign polling unit results of 10 different polling units of 7 different Wards of Oguta LGA.

5. Whether a non certified photocopies of result sheets are admissible in law even when claimed to must have emanated from a court of law. (Note the difference between a duplicate copy and a photocopy).

6. Whether INEC guideline supports collation of results from duplicate copies of original result sheets in event of none availability of the original result sheets.

7. Whether the 3rd - 4th Respondents are empowered by any known law to cancel results of polling units without written reports of Polling Units Presiding Officers.

8. Whether the supplementary/re-run election as ordered and conducted by 3rd - 4th Respondents on the 23rd March, 2019 fulfilled the requirements of the law.

The task before Hon. Justice Roli Daibo Harriman led Panel is enormous as all eyes are on them for swift determination of the issues as canvassed by the petitioners and defended by the respondents. We look forward to a landmark judgement in the state by our revered jurists.

Frank Ugboma of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as winner of Oguta State Constituency election held on the 9th and 23rd day of March, 2019 at the Imo State Governorship/State House of Assembly Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Owerri, Imo State. In the matter in court, Hon. Ezediaro who seeks the leave of the court to be declared winner of the election having polled the highest number of lawful votes cast on the 9th of March, 2019 election. Hon. Ezediaro who buttressed his claims through his lead counsel said that the unilateral cancellation of the already collated booth results by the LGA Returning Officer posted for purposes of the election was unlawful and alien to the Electoral Act and 2019 INEC Election Guidelines. Hon. Ezediaro through his expert witness was able to compute the collated results of 9th March, 2019 with duplicate copies he got from his accredited polling unit agents as the original copies of the result sheets where torn by the candidate of the PDP and his agents at the premises of the LGA Collation Center. In the computed result from the duplicate copies, Hon. Ezediaro polled a total of 14,691 votes while his closest rival, Bar. Frank Ugboma polled a total of 7,542 votes.

Ezediaro through his expert witness was able to compute the collated results of 9th March, 2019 with duplicate copies he got from his accredited polling unit agents as the original copies of the result sheets where torn by the candidate of the PDP and his agents at the premises of the LGA Collation Center. In the computed result from the duplicate copies, Hon. Ezediaro polled a total of 14,691 votes while his closest rival, Bar. Frank Ugboma polled a total of 7,542 votes.
