Kindly state your auto start presidential candidate.

Deep inside of you lies the answer(s) to your question. If you will be true to yourself that is.

ChannelsTV will experience viewers drought while it airs! We don’t need a documentary to get familiar with the failed President. The thing speaks for itself.

We are not interested in nursing another kick and start President!

Inordinate ambition. Tinubu is better off backing Osinbajo who is healthier and not as unacceptable to the Electorate as he is. Osinbajo has fewer political enemies compared to Tinubu. Osinbajo, at least once, has handled the levers of Power as Acting President with full State Powers transmitted to him under the hand of President Buhari who had a pressing challenge. Not a few Stakeholders in the Nigerian will agree that Osinbajo was excellent in that role. He was very proactive about the ND agitation to control their oil resources and till date we have relative peace in that part of Nigeria due directly to his efforts. I could go on. I hope Tinubu will not dance to tunes edging him on to contest the Presidency. Learning from the gerontocracy experience we are saddled with it is not wisdom elect a Nigerian who is not as fit as a fiddle as President.

[quote author= post=106562659]1. At the end of the weekly meeting of the Federal Executive Council in Abuja on Wednesday, October 6, 2021, the Honorable Attorney General and Minister of Justice of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Malam Abubakar Malami (SAN), announced
that the Federal Administration is considering the option of the state of emergency in Anambra State if the security situation in the state does not improve soon. The impression is thus given that a possible state of emergency was discussed at the FEC meeting, and Malami's statement is a true reflection of discussions at the meetings on the security situation in the state which is preparing to have a gubernatorial election on Saturday, November 6, 2021.

2. If, indeed the statement credited to the Honorable Attorney General and Minister of Justice is a fair summary of the FEC discussions and decision on Anambra State, it is our considered opinion that the FEC was not properly briefed on the state of affairs in the state. True, there have been considerable security challenges in Anambra State in the last two weeks. There have been about twelve casualties from the new wave of violence, including Dr. Chike Akunyili, a medical doctor based in Enugu and husband of the highly regarded former Director General of the National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC), Professor Dora Nkem Akunyili, OFR. Dr Akunyili lost his life on Tuesday, September 29, while returning from Onitsha where the memory of the legendary wife was honoured by the Onitsha branch of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Alumni Association.

3. Yet, it cannot by any stretch of the imagination be justified to contemplate
emergency rule in the state on the strength of the 12 violent deaths in the last two or three weeks. States like Zamfara, Kaduna, Yobe, Plateau, Niger, Benue, Katsina and Adamawa have lost thousands of people in recent times, yet successful elections have been held in them. The security crises in Niger and Borno have been such that mission aircraft were shut down there. Whole communities are occupied by bandits and terrorists.

4. In contrast, life is normal in Anambra State. All schools, markets and business are open. A lot of petrol stations operate for 24 hours. People engage in regular social activities like marriages, funerals and title taking. Thousands of vehicles move from places like Onitsha to all parts of the country and beyond day and night without incidents. Political parties are still campaigning for the impending gubernatorial election, mobilizing thousands people to rallies.

5. What the Federal Government has to do to improve the security situation in Anambra State, which for the last seven years has been the best throughout the country, is to deploy more security forces to the state, provide them with necessary equipment and incentivize them by paying the security personnel their allowances promptly and improving their general welfare. What is more, the Federal Government has to provide the security, the resources to engage in intelligence gathering.

6. The Honorable Attorney general and Minister of Justice have to perish the thought of a state of emergency in Anambra State. The November 6 gubernatorial election has to hold.

FakeUnity:
IPOB DOS should give the command that a day in a week should be set aside to wear the Biafran regalia.
Instead of sit at home on mondays, come out with your Biafran attires and flags and move about in solidarity with MNK.

Let them arrest everybody in the East.

The point is that it is doubtful that everybody will do so

Clearly run out of ideas. Nothing left to say.

LegendHero:
”According to him, the publication did not also allege that he had been engaged in unlawful business ventures at any time whatsoever, adding that his understanding was that the allegation bordered more on tax avoidance and non-declaration of some jointly owned assets.”

See the nonsense Obi Pandora is saying. He even admit non-declaration of some jointly owned assets lol. If Nigeria is a working country, they should have invited the man by now to now tell the law when they start accepting ignorance.

You were also operating a foreign account while being an elected government. Rubbish and nonsense.

Peter Obi has turned out to a Roman Catholic Night!

General Uzodinma! NICE WAY to go!! Ijeoma!!!

HE WILL BE COURT-MARTIALED?? FOR REAL? HONESTLY I PITY YOU AND ALL THOSE WHO DONATED LIKES TO YOUR POST

Your post just showcases the inability to recognise sarcasm in a given literary piece and www can see who deserves to be pitied here!! Think twice before pressing the submit button. Good day!

do u even kmow terrain of Vietnam aint like south east . can you build 100s kilometers of underground tunnel tunnel. make ipob stop deceiving gullible igbos.

But you can make Ogbunigwe in the SE. I don’t support war in Nigeria or elsewhere. For your info, The Igbo have brains capable of making even more effective ordinance that will make a smokescreen of our Chinese armaments. Don’t even go there!

Exactly. The profligate and empty headed truant has spoken. That is what he has spent all his lifetime pursuing. The other black sheep of The ADELEKE Dynasty. He just came clean!! What a sickening statement to make!! It stinks!! The choice is the people’s to make. His Deceased older brother’s tenure as the first civilian Governor of Osun State was no less inglorious and profligate rivalled only by that of MR. No Bitumen!

I guess he will be court-martialled! Truth is, no law is good law that says you cannot express yourself so long as you are not indecent and violent about it. What is in the colour? Is it recognised by the UN as the symbolic representation of an independent State within the Nigerian State? What is Nigeria afraid of! The concept of Nigeria as one Nation has clearly been a ruse. It is a desirable way to go for me but not when it is a ruse! Many must be wondering when the Nigerian Army became a Police outfit! A good legal team should be put in place for his defence. The Nigerian Army has failed serially at stamping out terrorism threatening the territorial integrity of Nigeria (their primary duty). If care is not taken they will have a guerrilla war on their hands. No conventional Army does good fighting an unconventional war such as guerrilla. Ask US about the Vietnam experience. At the mention of Nam many Vietnam vets will pee in their pants and nurse PTSD all over again!

see Nigeria police is not Nigeria army . guerrilla warfare ur saying what facilities do you have to contain guerrilla warfare. make una be careful oo

I can see where you are coming from. So long my friend!

okeyglm:
defeat NA and get Biafra . stop attacking civil police. army just launch operation the mumu ipob gunmen gone into hiding.

You must understand that The Nigerian Police is a symbol of the Nigerian State and in guerrilla warfare unconventional tactical measures are the key component of its platform. Ask the US about its Vietnam experience. Many US soldiers still suffer PTSD arising from their Nam experience. Plenty nightmares daily of Nam guerrilla soldiers creeping up on them in the sweaty bamboo populated Vietnam jungle.

I guess he will be court-martialled. Many must be wondering when the Nigerian Army became a Police outfit! A good legal team should be put in place for his defence.

tell Coward unknown gunmen to attack soldiers we will take them serious. feast their ugly guns on weak policemen is not show of power. thank God SARS are coming back.

Nigerian policemen weak? Hmmmm! Ever heard of SARS and the Naira and Kobo bribe taking Nigeria policemen. You have heard of Abba Kyari and the Hushpuppy or dog! I guess Nigerian soldiers were not attacked and many times overwhelmed by BH. NA is run by a government that is not ashamed to refuse to publicly reveal the names of sponsors of terrorism in Nigeria. Dr. Ahmed Nasreddin and The Nasreddin Family who own Nasco industries the producers of NASCO Cornflake well patronised by ALL Nigerians are known to be supportive of Terrorism. So says the Security Council Report on the issue. Nigerian Army has been compromised. Read the newspapers.

Guerilla warfare commencing. I guess they should be granted amnesty like ND, BH and Gurmi Banditos. Only that their amnesty should take the form of granting them self- determination as Biafra.

Joe said the truth. How can you trust such a SAVAGE tribe. Bunch of miscreants, drug dealers, criminals, baby factory operators, pirates,counterfeiters, terrorist, murders, ritualists, scammers, prostitutes, human traffickers, gun runners, thugs, fake pastors, false prophets, fake drugs distributiors, quack doctors, cultists, pimps and yahoo plus .

This is hate speech! Truth is, folks who qualify to be described in that manner abound in all of humanity regardless of tribe or ethnicity. Not good to stigmatise a tribe or ethnic group in that manner when, they have not, - unlike The Fulani - openly acknowledged themselves in terms with which Nigerians generally view them.

When did he say that?

2012.
“I will be the first to concede that the Igbo as a group is not without its flaws. Its success
can and did carry deadly penalties: the dangers of hubris, overweening pride, and
thoughtlessness, which invite envy and hatred or, even worse, than can obsess the
mind with material success and dispose it to all kinds of crude showiness. There is no
doubt at all that there is a strand in contemporary Igbo behavior that can offend by its
noisy exhibitionism and disregard for humility and quietness.” - Chinua Achebe.

To burn you alive just dey hungry me.

Efulefu

Don’t you see the flaw in your thinking? Just because someone else has an opinion different from yours on a given issue is no reason to wish you could bury him alive! That is rather crude, barbaric and most uncivilised. In my experience 7 out of 10 Igbo are like you and that is most unfortunate. How can you have Biafra or the Nigerian Presidency with such mindset? Prof Chinua Achebe was right about The Igbo when in 2012 he spoke the bitter truth about The Igbo.

It is instructive to note that he was a prominent Igbo. The Igbo will do well to set out to intentionally raise a new generation of Igbo not tainted with such a mindset.

Baba Achebe was correct.

The truth can be bitter and unpopular. Prof Chinua Achebe, a prominent Igbo himself, was spot-on when in 2012 he famously said about The Igbo:-
“I will be the first to concede that the Igbo as a group is not without its flaws. Its success
can and did carry deadly penalties: the dangers of hubris, overweening pride, and

Has the situation changed? I think not! Sadly!! A random sampling of comments by The Igbo here on Nairaland speaks volumes on the matter.

Why nah? IGR will be negatively affected. Speaking very seriously that is an untapped source of income for the Nigerian Government at the State, Local Government and Federal level.

Jamesz12:
It has pave the way for a Southern Presidential candidate, I see the APC Southern Governors doing same and we will end up having both APC and PDP Southern presidential candidates in 2023,
Southern Governors aren't smiling, they are united in this

And you seriously think The North trusts SE well enough to let them have a bite of Power? That SE President will become another Odili or Obasanjo who are not well regarded at home!
