Adekunle: What is AD? Why is it that it's strength is limited only to Yorubaland? What is wrong if Igbos like the Yorubas have a party (assuming that APGA is an "Igbo Party") as the Yoruba press claims?
For your information (and this goes to other Nigerians), the days Igbos were intimidated because they want to have what others - be it a party, a regional socio-politica/cultural organisation or to aspire to be President of Nigeria is over. The Igbos of past who were ashamed to be identified with ANYTHING Igbo are DEAD and those that are still alive are LIVING-DEAD.
The proud, confident and abressive new generation Igbos have taken over the stage and there's no better way to start that much delayed repositioning than by having a party that listens to the yearnings (seperate but equal) of this generation.
Our motto is: SEPERATE BUT EQUAL.

Now, anybody who is learned, reads in between lines and understands what he or she reads gotta be able to figure that out that APGA does not represent the interest of Yoruba or Hausa.. But it does have some members who are of that tribe and beyond.
That APGA has a political manifesto which includes the social, economic and security of all Biafranigerians, of course with emphasis on Ndi Igbo whose business is preyed by lazy bums of both the Yellow bellies and the Desert rats.
You can draw your own conclusion, just like I have drawned mine that AD with a serious image problem is a YORUBA PARTYwith an exclamation point! I think the question was wrongly phrased as usual by Adekunle. Try this... "Is APGA exclusively for the interest of Old Eastern region? With simple logic..if AD is for the Yorubas and ANPP for the Hausa it is with much pride to say that APGA is for the interest of Biafranigeria with heavy emphasis on EASTERN REGION.. How about that Adekunle?
Now I ask the same question,Is AD exclusively a Trophy for the Afinefere instead of a political party? [/b]
Hail Biafra

Adekunle, Why are you scared? Is AD not a Yoruba party? APGA is the best thing that will happen to Biafranigeria. Make effort and read the APGA manifesto you will find out that the wise men are on their way to the rescue.
Why can't some of you reflect and ask your self why your so-called country Nigeria is in such a big mess. Since 1966 the so-called leaders from the North and west, that have no clue on how to govern a country successfully destroyed Biafranigeria.
Don't panic just tell your people to support and vote APGA come 2003, their lives will turn around from the present misery, when the wisemen in APGA take charge of BiafraNigeria.

Well, looks to me like every Igbo person who has spoken in here gave you a good answer of what APGA is all about. I hope you have been educated by these intellectuals. I further hope that you have brians to comprehend what they siad to you. I'm responding just to let you know that I'm a CARD CARRYING MEMBER of APGA Los Angeles California chapter and proud of it. Just wait and see what will happen in 2003 election.

I would not be surprised to find out that all you so-called Biafrans are card-carrying members of PDP and AD. NaBiafra is blowing hot air. But he said before that he is a member of that Biafra franchise.
Now, he is in APGA. Soon he will join PDP and ANPP. Anything for Biafra; I guess.
As for Waypoint1Biafra, he has gone from rebel to ridiculous.

Folanke: Dont be mischievious. NwaBiafra just like any other pro Biafran activist has EVERY RIGHT to give Nigeria and Nigerians the LAST CHANCE to rescue themselves.
If I remember well, the propaganda the yoruba press and most Nigerians have been propagating against the person of Ojukwu as it regards the Nigerian civil war is that Ojukwu was "power drunk" by not allowing Gowon take the rein of power (even when Gowon was not in position rankwise and otherwise) to do so when Nzeogwu and co stroke.
What we the new generation Igbos are doing is to deny you ever mischievious Nigerians any reason to say that the Igbos started the next war, which is near the corner if care is not taken.
Maybe you forget, let me remind you Nigerians that the option you have in 2003 and beyond is to choose between a president of Igbo extraction or its "TO YOUR TENTS ISREAL!"
By joining the Obasanjo-approved parties or those before it, we are just helping you make that choice and the faster the better. The era of pleading or playing the second-fiddle is gone.

Well spoken I need not add more to that in responding to Folanke.
Folanke, All I can say to you is that either you are a dummy or to immature to know and understand the process of securing one's freedom without war or terrorism. We Biafrans do understand what is involve as such we are embarking on it the best way we know how. Please note that the best way for biafra to get out of Nigeria without a war is for us to still be involved politically in Nigeria. Like Nwa Aro said last chance for you and others like you to change your ways.

Are you saying that you plan to actualize Biafra by joining APGA?

Chiboy: Good question. I doubt if Kunle can provide answer to that question.
The Yorubas and other Nigerians should know by now that the new generation Igbos unlike the older generation have learnt to play politics the NIGERIAN WAY, which is: say one thing and mean many things.
That is beating them in their game which I have always been preaching. I am glad that the Anyims in Nigeria and some on this board are reading and applying my Igbo REBIRTH thesis.

At least you now admit that mixing Biafra with Nigerian party politics is fork-tongued behaviour. Thank you sir.

Adekunle, I take it you have accepted defeat. You started a topic but can't seem to defend your position. Can you answe Chiboy's question. Be a man for once and don't go hiding behind your Mama or wife( whichever one applies to you.)Answer the question DUMMY!
You answered your own question when Chiboy admitted that you are fork-tongued. No need for you to go to your mama.

So now you agree OPC and Obasanjo are two faced, do you expect Nwabiafra and co. to stand by and watch or to play the game like you folks ? We know what we want but we also know the game.

Why are U.S.-based unemployed men running for public office on the platform of APGA? Would one take it that the chop and clean mouth leaders of an "all Igbo party" have something going on in the United States? How did these new party leaders acquire their wealth, anyway? What has this loud mouth done in the United States for over twenty years he claims to have some experience? Give me a break!
quote:Anambra Guber Aspirant Pledges Good Labour Relations
This Day (Lagos)
November 18, 2002
Tokunbo Adedoja Lagos
A gubernatorial aspirant on the platform of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) in Anambra state, Chief Gabe Okoye has pledged to ensure a good labour-government relationship if voted into power in 2003.
In a statement issued by his United State of America Campaign office at the weekend, Okoye said that it was unfortunate that the industrial face-off between the state government and workers could be allowed to extend to nine months before it was resolved adding that the state has lost unquantifiable working hours to the industrial crisis.
Okoye said that the industrial action has also impacted negatively on thousands of families in the state adding that children and youths who are future of tommorrow were left to roam the streets due to the closure of their schools for almost a year and the inability of their parents to source for their tuition because of unpaid salaries.
The aspirant called on the state government not to renege on its pledge to pay outstanding salaries of the members of the state civil service adding that workers and their families have suffered for too long.
The US-based aspirant said that such an industrial crisis can not happen in the United States, which he said places the welfare of its workforce above other needs adding that if elected into office, he would put to play, the experience he got in the United State in the last twenty years.
While commending the workers in the state for their perseverance, the aspirant said that hope was not lost adding that an APGA government wou-ld ensure that their welfare is treated as a priority.
He also lamented the state of the roads in the state and pro-mised that he would utilize his professional experiance as an engineer to make the roads in the state motorable again.

Tijani What the US based aspirants achievements is the same achieved by your brothers like Gbenga Aluko and Tinubu the certificate forger. Your fellow AD brothers are doing the same thing, all of sudden now Igbo has a party you are now complaining.

"WE KNOW WHAT WE WANT BUT WE ALSO KNOW THE GAME"---CHIboy.
The above statement has long been chosen as the MANIFESTO of the new generation Igbos.
Does it surprise anyone that the Yorubas who saw nothing bad in Obasanjo and his clan of thievery Executive appointees now through their egbeomooduduwa.com a.ka. Nigeriaworld.com describing the Anyim-led senate as "dirty Senators" and the Naa'Aba-led House of Reps as "dirty Reps"?
THE Yorubas should tell the world who is the COMMANDER AND (TH)CHIEF of the country Transparency International in its 2002 report classified as the "most corrupt nation on earth."
To turn Chiboy's anthem around, what we are saying to Obasanjo and to the Yorubas is that the world wont be deceived this time around, because enlightened Nigerians KNOW WHAT YOU WANT (to retain the Presidency) AND WE ALSO KNOW YOUR GAME-PLAN (blackmailing your opponents). So we Igbos are going to work with other Nigerians to DEFEAT you in your own turf.

1. Form NADECO, complain all over the place 2. Do nothing but hide and run to exile 3. Kiss abacha butt 4. When he dies off through Divine intervention claim victory for your bravery in ousting him. 5. When Hausa install a tried and tested Yoruba stooge to placate southern discontent, automatically claim double victory and political mastery. 6. Position yourself for plum government positions from a fellow shon of the shoil. 7. Mobilize the abacha killing OPC to terrorize non Yorubas and eliminate possible contenders for govt positions and consolidate all power locally. 8. Sow disunity among as many ethnic groups as you possibly can 9. Position yourself to body snatch an entire political party in broad daylight. 10. Rig, Rig, and Rig your way into possible reelection using the much vaunted "Incumbency factor"
Is there something we can at least emulate in all the above traits? There must be. can we all say "STEALTH FACTOR" It is not too late to coordinate activities at this late hour.
How can we harness the efforts of PDP and ANPP, NDP, UNPP etc. to insure APGA victory in all Eastern States, and proper positioning at the Federal level?
Contrary to current opinion, this is not impossible to achieve and remains consonant with our quest for Biafra. However,
There will be hard work ahead. Can we now confront it?

With the population of over 40% in Lagos State, I think that APGA should shop around for an Igboman that wants to run for the governorship of that former federal capital. They should also look for Igbos that can run and win most of the state assembly positions in that state. It is time that Igbos control that state for the future of Igbo business investments there. As it stands today, PDP is probably the number one party in Lagos and some south west states or come very close to that and as such an Igbo candidate in a state with such large Igbo population can easily win after AD and PDP splits the Yoroba votes.

The subtle taunt or attempt at sattire that you display at our expense is predictable.
Thank you for the counterjab on behalf of your brethren.
Be that as it may, many know that what I have proposed is obtainable, Biafra remains the end goal, and so we must use what we have.
Make no mistake, our reserve of aces has if anything increased now that OBJ and Buhari have drawn the cloaks and bared their fangs. For Igbos who felt dismayed, I say welcome finally. But take heart nonetheless. Bear in mind the saying that "it is darkest before the dawn"
The sudden convergence to attack Okadigbo's character which everyone already knew amounted to zero especially in the eyes of Ndigbo, displays an inate fear by the Yoruba that if Buhari is brought in, the party is over. So is the attempt at downplaying the relevance of APGA in the hope they can either manipulate it or outrightly destroy it, or both.
Ndigbo should consider these fears jugular veins to be exploited. From our position with our backs against the wall, the question is: which other jugulars are out there waiting to be exposed and what is the best strategy for harnessing the best outcome from all this activity?
This is what we should be after from these elections. In line with our longer term and sustained quest to continue to position favorably for Biafra.
Brothers and sisters, it is all out war, and we must apply the Afenifere AD model:.. movement, synthesis, movement, synthesis.. movement, synthesis.. and total STEALTH.
Let us now get down and dirty. we will make up later.
Let us think this thing out together! There is a solution out there. if we fail in this cycle, let us do so trying.

Practically every body in power in Geographical Nigeria lacks the integrity that any of us can defend. To rule a state, a leader needs integrity, wisdom and tact. The profile of current contestants of political offices in the East, West and north reiterates our continued vulnerability to morons as potential leaders. Can we not begin to think that the salvation of that state is not in the hands of these morons? Our problem is not about where the leaders should come from. To my Igbo brothers, what is the justification for presenting Ikenwachukwu, et all as aspirants and what is the wisdom in presenting Ikemba to represent an obviously Igbo party in a state where we have a very sensitive and fragile standing. Have we no more fresh brains that are far removed from the catastrophe that is Nigeria? To the Oduduwa people, is it to produce the president all that matters? What is your justification for wanting a man whose four years of work amounts to the disaster that is Nigeria? Have you no smarter people in that neighbourhood? To the Ranka Dede people, my people say “the mad man does not feel ashamed and that it is the relatives that bear the shame”. If you have no shame for what your people have done and are still doing to that country, can you not consider some of us and spare us the humiliation. We are so much of a mass of “hollow heads” and it is better to have smaller clusters of “Hollow heads” and that way people with things in their heads can become more conspicuous……………..
