Ojo Maduekwe

is nothing but errand boy for Obasanjo, As for Eze Bernard Enweremadu. His credibilty was long tarnished because of his 419 connection and ogwu ego charms. All Eze Enweremadu care about is Naira sign. I thought that guy is dead? I didn't know that he is still arround using the money he made from 419 boys to cause trouble. The same trouble he use to cause when Abia was a part of Imo state, he is now causing it to people Abia.

Folks,
What happened in Isialla Ngwa was exactly what took place in Bayelsa State and as I learnt will take place in Imo State on the 5th on this month -- This is Obasanjo's electioneering campaign dirty laundry machine on rampage.
They did not succeed in Bayelsa State, hence, Obasanjo's refusal to render an apology for his invasion of Odi. Their game plan was (Stage one), go to Bayelsa State, tell everything bad you could about Igbos; the civil war; Ojukwu and hopefully, that will pit the Minorities against the Igbos (meaning more votes from the latter peoples' in 2003). Unfortunately for the President and his hatchet-men, they miscalculated and their divisive game-plan back-fired, what they got instead was condemnation from both the Minority leaders and their Igbo counterparts, when that became the case, Obasanjo retreated; that is why he refused to apologize to the people of Odi. Why should I (Obasanjo) apologize to a people who refuse to accept all the lies (to him truths) I told them about their enemy (the Igbos), he must have reasoned.
Stage two: This is more sinister because in this stage and act, they (Obasanjo's men) must go for their main opponent -- Orji Kalu. The game-plan was similar to the one used in stage one (Bayelsa State), tell everything real and imaginary about your target (Orji Kalu) and compare him against the cool-headedness (cowardice) of the other southeastern governors, then make the "raskal" (Orji Kalu), apologies Ojo Maduekwe, look as if he is misleading his people of Abia State, thereby making him ineligible to challenge Obasanjo come 2003. This stage failed like the first because all the dramatis personae are lacking both the truth and in intergrity... Hear Sam Eze, a resident of Abia State and an analyst " Some of the people residing in Abia State think that Kalu has, more or less, performed magic in the State within the two years he has been their governor. For instance, they said that if it is true that the governor receives only N800 million a month from the Federal Government, then he must have been spending his own money to develop Abia State going by the level of development. Indeed, the statement may not be far from the truth. By last week, no fewer than 93 roads have been rehabilitated in the commercial city of Aba while almost all the streets in Umuahia have been tarred. Most of the water schemes abandoned in the State, even when it was part of the old Imo State, have been rehabilitated and for the first time in the State, public taps have been installed. Similarly, many rural roads connecting various local government areas have either been completed or are under construction. He (Sam Eze ) went futher to say "One must frown at the reckless pronouncements of some Igbo people who find themselves in top positions. According to him, there is no reason for the Abuja group to join issues with Kalu because of his call for an Igbo man to be elected president of Nigeria in 2003. Speaking specifically about Maduekwe, who he said was spearheading the attack on Kalu, Eze said Igbos had expected the minister to be the one to champion the cause of the Igbos. He continued: "The governors of the South Eastern States support the call for an Igbo Presidency in the year 2003, in consultation with leaders of other geo-political zones in the country...It is therefore unreasonable for the Minster to think that Ndigbo are asking for a President outside the context of Nigeria or that they could go about it all alone without the co-operation of other parts of the country. That notion would be idiotic to misconstrue that the call is for an Igbo President who is not a Nigerian". He added: "Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu grew with the people, knows the people at the grassroots, understands them and is well versed in their language. By his actions and people-oriented programmes, he touches the people in almost all aspects of their lives. For example, people who have not seen any roads being constructed or even reconstructed, since the war ended 31 years ago, are happy at Dr. Kalu's achievements in under two years. Free quality medication is quietly reaching all nooks and crannies of the State. People-oriented programmes are being formulated and executed one after another, with a speed that cannot go unnoticed by the recipients". According to him: "Even the Honourable Minster is known to have been a frequent visitor to the Government House, Umuahia. And as he brazenly attacks the person of Dr. Kalu, a road passing Chief Ojo Maduekwe's own village, Asaga Ohafia (Okun-Asaga) Ndibe Road) is being tarred by the government of Abia State. One is tempted to believe that Maduekwe has refused to acknowledge the remarkable transformation in Abia State or that he is not in touch with the reality in his home state. If the latter is the case, then he is in trouble"...unquote
Infact Ojo Maduekwe and his fellow errand boys are not only out of touch with their villages, they are also out of touch with the feeling of an average Igboman or woman, obviously, they are also living in another Nigeria from the one majority of Nigerians are living in!
The third stage of this act will take place on the 5th of April when Obasanjo and his comrades in deceit will drive through the dilapidated and dusty streets of Owerri. They may be in for a rude shock for as I understand some Imo citizens will ask him (Obasanjo) to read the content of his report-card as it concerns Imo State. I, coming from Imo State already knows what there is in Obasanjo's Imo State report-card, however, I wait to hear from the hoarses mouth. Lets watch and listen.

Nwa Aro,
Ndeewo! (Thank you) That was a superb report card on Governor Orji Kalu. After all the "errand boys" are done with their dusty detracting propagana, we ask them, "what have you done for the Igbos with your contract-chasing Obasanjo butt-licking positions"? I don't recall hearing a public renouncement or philantropic assistance from Ojo Maduekwe, Sam Eze, etc regarding Igbo massacres in sharia North. But we were all AWARE of Governor Kalu's ACTIONS.

With the relentless activities of MASSOB in Igboland, gone are the days when the likes of Ojo Maduekwe and co will get away with pulling wool over our eyes on behalf of their Abuja masters.

Ojo Madueke, Sam Eze, Ednut & co, here's "F" for effort. Nice try but you came up way too short.
Orji Kalu is the choicest candidate for 2003.

Amanda,

Ednut? I was merely posting a news that I find interesting about our "Action Governor" of Abia State. Our governor who made lots of noise during the Kaduna sharia mess.

Aah Ednut.... I see you're describing it as merely posting a news. If I recall, you posted a similar propaganda news in another thread by one yellow bellied writer that was pro "errand boys" and anti-Orji Kalu.

Now, if the "errand boys/419ers" cum Ohaneze group had made as much noise as Orji Kalu during the Kaduna sharia massacre, the engineers and perpetrators of that heinous crime would be langiushing in prison as at now.

Food for thought; Obasanjo et al wouldn't have dared carry out their double brazen attacks on MASSOB had that section of Okigwe been in Abia state.
The facts speak for themselves. Orji Kalu is "the man".

Ednut

So where was Ojo the Idiot Maduekwe when Kaduna was burning and his people were being slaughtered left and right? Let us assume Kalu went to beg his northern friends for forgiveness after he spoke up, my question to you is did his speaking out not send the message to the murderers when they had to be stopped?

What stopped the Abuja crowd from coming to the defence of Ndigbo in Kaduna?I keep saying the Igbo youths must wake up to their responsibilities, why should Maduekwe even be allowed into Abia so soon after making an ass of himself?

Brothers Nwa Aro , Chiboy and Sister AW

like I continue to maintain we have so many ojo idiot Maduekwe during the Biafra war. Who Loved money more than their freedom, who will sale their soul for a port of pourage. Ojo maduekwe is showing his true color. I am not surprised that that 419 benefactor Eze ukwu of ngwa ukwu choose Ojo Maduekwe as some body to recognize. Eze Bernard Enweremadu only care about Naira and honoring idiot maduekwe is extension of that.

Ednut,
In as much as I do support that we criticize Governor Orji Kalu as we would any other Igbo politician, I would also like that credit be given when and to whom it is due. If it is only "noise" that the Abia State Governor made during and after the Kaduna mayhem, one thing you and I will agree on is that it stopped the constant use of Igbo blood as sacrifice by those who think that Igbo blood is less red than that of other Nigerians. One thing you must bear in mind is that evil prosper where and when good people refuse to make "noise" (speak out). Because of Orji Kalu's "noise", which resulted in the reprisal attacks against Northerners (sadly as it was) in Aba and some southeastern towns, it sent the right message to every Nigerian -- If you kill Igbos anywhere in Nigeria, there will we retaliation. Orji Kalu's stance during Igbo people's time of need is what has earned him the respect and aduration of most Igbos, and he deserves it!
To the issue of Orji Kalu's performance as a governor, that judgement can be made by the ordinary people of that State, and if what I hear from my relatives who lives in Aba and Umuahia is anything to go by, then that guy (Orji Kalu) is more than qualified to govern Nigeria.
Infact the two persons who can be given credit for making Igbos forgotten cry of marginalisation to be brought unto national discourse as it is today are Chief Ralph Uwazuruike and Orji Kalu, we may disagree with their style (they use Nigerian style to fight Nigeria and Nigerians), but they surely have made great difference as it concerns Igbo's place in Nigeria. We must encourage not discourage them. Lets hope that on-coming Igbo politicians follow their foot steps.

Amanda Nwannem Nwanyi,
Thanks for the kind words.
Sam Eze, the Abia analyst in Ednut's link was actually highlighting Governor Orji Kalu's achievements. He was infact praising the Governor.

Brother Nwa Aro

thank you very much for saying it like it is. I would like to ask my brother Ednut a question " until Orji kalu spoke out about the Igbo masacare which led to retaliations how many times have Igbos been masacared in the North? and how many times have the socalled Igbo moderate politician spoken out against constant shedding of Igbo Blood. Except Ojukwu who always speak out, tell me one other Igbo politician who have had the gut to speak out until Gov Orji kalu did it.

Because Gov kalu spoke Out which led to retaliatory repraisals. killing Igbos had become a blood sports in Nigeria where both Hausa and yroubas have engaged in. When Abiola Lost his socalled mandate in 1993, The Igbo trader suffer the brunt of Yoruba anger, not until Ojukwu ask Igbo trader to retatliate after Ojukwu Asked Abiola to call yoruba boys to order. Abiola's response to Ojukwu was that it was area boys that are doing the killing, However immediately after Ojukwu order Igbo traders to retaliate didn't the attack stopped. Like My Brother Nwa Aro said Orji Kalu and Chief Ralph are using the system Nigeria Understand. If that makes them noise makers so be it. In Nigeria he who shout the most is he who is recognized. The Yorubas shouted and shouted about june 12th until they were reward with Obasanjopresidency. so if Orji Kalu is borrowing leaf from them what is wrong with that.

Nwa Aro/Folks,
I apologize for my oversight. I meant to castigate Eze Enweremadu, not Mr Samuel Eze.

Nwa Aro, thanks for pointing out the error.

Was this not the 'Eze' that a former Military governor of Abia state wanted to dethrone because he gave protection to armed robbers. Correct me if I am wrong but did he not give a chieftaincy title to Codo the notorius armed robber, who terrorised Aba in the mid/late 70's ?.
Is this not an indication about the calibre of Igbos that OO can attract?.

wacko brother you are definitely right it is the same Eze Bernard Enweremadu who use to give armed robbers refuge. He is also a native doctor who give all the 419 guys and armed robbers the charm they use in terrorizing our people. yes it is the same Eze Bernard Enweremadu who adorned Codo with chieftaincy title. Brother wacko you are keeping up with what is going on in Biafra land. I praise you for that brother.
