Not so fast, NwaAro. This is beginning to be a bore, you come in here, make some accusations and when you are outed you are either leaving for further studies, for good or to set up a non existent paint factory in Ala Igbo.
Once again you have joined forces with the sell outs and once again you have lost heavily. You joined the Ugorji "bandwagon" as against the "fringe" elements and from the votes which he got, it is clear that it is you, NwaAro, Ugorji and Okenwa Nwosu who belong to the fringe.
Folks, I would be back to give you an expose of the Individual behind the handle NwaAro, his modus operandi and the reason behind his conversion from a Biafran to a one Biafranigerian.

Well The fact of this whole Matter is that Ugorji looked Mbaise people in the eyes and lied to them. My reliable source have confirmed to me that Ugorji struck a deal with Onwuchekwa, before the election. The deal is that Onwuchekwa will make Ugorji the Executive Director. This means that Ugorji looked Mbaise people in the eyes and lied to them, if you read the report from brother Nnamdi Nwuda. Where Ugorji and Joe Etoh agreed that if both of them make it to the run off, the lowest vote getter will step down for the other.
Knowing Ugorji as I have known him over the years, I am not surprised. His reasoning here is that since three out of the four candidates are from Imo and two from Mbaise. An Mbaise person or Imo for that matter cannot be both the Chairman and the Executive director. What did Ugorji do, he went and struck behind the scene deal with Chief Onwuchekwa, and Ugorji asked his supporters to vote for Onwucheka instead of Joe Etoh. Confirming once again that the bruhaha about Ugorji running for chairmanship was a decoy. Like what Ike Nwachukwu did to Ndi-Igbo in 2003. Ndi Igbo need to do a background check on Ugorji, because that guy have to have 80% Awusa blood in him. Ugorji is not interested in Igbo welfare, his only interest is his personal interest and that of his Awusa/Yoruba pay masters.
We will keep our eyes open on both Ugorji and Onwuchekwa. Hopefully Mbaise people will learn their lesson now not to trust Ugorji.

To Ichie Onwuchekwe,
Let me start by congratulating you for being elected as the new leader of WIC. Based on what I have seen thus far, there are reasons to believe that a new style of doing business is in the offing in the new WIC. I see an inclination to take the WIC out of the closet from where it has operated in the recent past. If this trend continues, you can count on my support in whatever capacity that I can be of help in moving the people's agenda forward. The next significant issue, at this juncture, is appointment of an Executive Director whose responsibility it shall be to execute and monitor programs and agenda of the new WIC in an ongoing basis. Your decision to seek popular input into the programs and agenda of the WIC is a very good one. Looking forward, it shall greatly assist in broadening the operational base and reach of the WIC in unprecedented ways. From my vantage point, flood erosion menace is the greatest scourge that is devastating Alaigbo in this era. No other issue can bring the Igbo Diaspora closer in touch with the survival struggles of our kindred at home than a visible WIC commitment to play a leading role in devising solutions to contain this threat to our people's livelihood before the bottom completely drops out. The WIC certainly needs to repackage and disseminate its new image through a more proactive and dynamic web site. I have seen the shell of a new web site layout. It looks good but there is a need now to constitute a WIC Editorial Committee to become responsible for furnishing it with contents and updating it as needed to serve the dual purpose of becoming both the WIC mouthpiece and a veritable conduit for fundraising. Since you have hit the ground running, let's not lose a beat because there is plenty of hot iron in the fire to take care of as we speak. Once more, congratulations and God's speed!
Okenwa. ----------------------------------
Umu-Igbo, After all the hue and cry, some well-intented and some simply done with mischief in mind, the ELECTED leader of Nd'Igbo in the Diaspora, Ichie Chibuzor Onwuchekwa has finally taken the bull by the horn by formally laying out a sort of road-map on how to address some of the problems affecting the Diasporian Igbos and AlaIgbo . There is no doubt that if one is to go by the content of his e-mail, which I repost below, then it wont be misplaced to say that the Onwuchekawa-led WIC will be anything but the same as the ineptitute Kalu Diogu-led one before it. After all said and done, there's indeed every reason to hope and believe that the World Igbo Congress will in due course become a truly democratic, accountable and responsible Pan-Igbo organization that its founding fathers ment it to be on inception.
THE ELECTED LEADER OF NDI-IGBO IN DIASPORA SPEAKS:

NDI IGBO I SALUTE!
By now, everyone must have been aware of our first effort, which was an attempt to put in motion a mechanism to help our brothers and sisters that were affected by 'Katrina' in New Orleans, Mississippi and Alabama. The WIC Executive, Affiliate Presidents and the Board have met on the matter, and the details regarding agreed lines of action have been turned over to the Secretariat and the PRO for implementation. These details should be published in all available E-groups that our people have, and I personally urge every Onye Igbo to respond to this effort as he/she may see appropriate. It is very important. I am now making a move to add more issues to what we must do at this time. My mandate is "change" in the methods of doing business in WIC. I plan to change this organization dramatically, with your continued support. It must be change based on vision of what is in the best interest of Ndi Igbo.
RESPONSIBLE MEMBERSHIP IN WIC: ------------------------------
My position is that every Onye Igbo in the Diaspora should and must responsibly be a stake holder and a Member of WIC. I intend to see every Onye Igbo become a card-carrying member of WIC. You must have the WIC membership card to access the services that the new WIC will incorporate in its activities and operations. Affiliation (belonging to a WIC affiliate) remains the only avenue open for one to rise in the WIC hierarchy. No one can, for example end up in the WIC Board or other elected office simply by carrying a WIC membership card. For such positions, one must be representing a group and not one's self. My position is to ensure that no Onye Igbo is left behind in WIC matters. I will, with your support push the envelope, but the original intent of WIC membership will never be tampered with! I will publish my ID card initiative soon.
CHANGE NUMBER 1
BOARD MEETINGS: ---------------
Starting with my first Board Meeting scheduled on or before December 2005, the following changes are being implemented: 1. The People, Not the Secretary or Chairman will determine what agenda topics that will be discussed. I therefore call on the Diaspora Igbos to start immediately to suggest the topics they would like to have the Board deliberate upon at the next Board meeting. The Assistant General Secretary will catalogue all suggestions and rank them in terms of frequency and similarity. Five of the most recurring topics will be the Board Meeting Agenda. Once ranked, these topics will immediately be forwarded to Affiliate Presidents for deliberation in the Chapter meetings before the actual Board Meeting. Board Members will come to Board Meetings to articulate resolved Positions of their Affiliates, not to make individual fresh arguments on applicable agenda topics. If the topic you suggested is placed on the Board Agenda, you will be invited by the WIC Executive to attend the Board Meeting in which your issue is being deliberated upon. My emphasis is on implementation. If it happens that the Board decides to implement an idea that you suggested, you will be made a part of the implementation team.
2. Board Members will henceforth leave a Board Meeting location with the draft copies of concluded meetings to enable affiliates implement agreed upon resolutions timely.
3. WIC Affiliates will receive at each Board Meeting the Financial status of WIC. There may be other minor changes that may be implemented, the details of which I do not have to articulate on this directive. The objective here is to have a more responsible and responsive WIC Board. We plan to make the Board work more efficiently for the people. Under my watch, this Board will listen to the people! In return, the Diaspora Igbos must accord this Board the respect it deserves! Always remember that the members are amongst the finest men and women we have in our midst, and they have all volunteered their services. I will discuss other topics soon. Our Administration will be interactive, and we will listen, let you the people do the talking while we focus on the implementation! It shall be well with Ndi Igbo!
Wacko & co, Does the above e-mail from firstly the newly elected Chairman of the WIC show a man without vision and character, or does the congratulatory message from Okenwa Nwosu in response show a man angry at "losing" an election as you guys want those who are not in the know to believe? You guys should simply grow up and stop CRYING WOLF where there is none.
Truly educated and intelligent people dont engage in the poripo discussion and IDLE TALK which some of you waste valuable time and energy indulging in here; to borrow Bro Ukaobasi's phrase: "YOU CANT KEEP A GOOD MAN DOWN"!

It shows one who is desperate for a job. It should be remembered that it was the Executive Director post which Ugorji offered Okenwa that made him endorse Ugorji.
quote:It looks good but there is a need now to constitute a WIC Editorial Committee
Yep! Step forward Okenwa Nwosu, afterall he has Osondu in his resume.
quote:I now take leave for good.
NwaAro
NwaAro you really have to make up your mind; are you staying or are you leaving? Last time it was for further studies. You really have to change this trait of leaving for something when the heat is on and coming back when you think things have died down. It may be because many of us are here to debate and would not write anything about a forum member who is not in a position to defend himself.
quote: Ohafia: I have NO QUARREL with you.
This was a kind of shock to me as you always rant and rave after any post made by Ohafia. Have you forgotten when you brazenly made accusations against him which, it turned out you made to cover your involvement in the sad affair?.
On Okenwa, this was an individual who started out with disdain for the "fringe elements" of the NeoBiafran movement. He perhaps bought the hype that he was an intellectual, when he could not take the heat, he resorted to writing his garbage as the ficticious Osita Olisa.
This was the same individual who gave Aluko access to Igbo forum which UmuIgbo had beleived was restricted to Nd'Igbo.
Will the real NwaAro please stand up!Posts: 585 | From: London. | Registered: Mar 2001

Jimmy Asiegbu is a very active supporter of WIC. As president of ASA-USA, Jimmy Asiegbu was a key organizer of WIC's LA picnic. Here is what Jimmy had to say in Igbo Excalibur about the man who was WIC Chairman at the recently concluded WIC picnic:
quote:Folks:
Many observers will tell you that the Chairman was acting very abnormal and confused. In fact, throughout the convention, it was observed and whispered that KKD was DRUNK, and at times completely confused with the management of the Convention. It started on Thursday Night when the issue of Board Meeting was either on hold or unilaterally canceled for no reason by KKD and a visit to his suite shows the unexpected. What he says at one time, he denied at another time, and what he denied at one time, he agrees at a different time. His dictatorship style and failure to understand the atmosphere of the WIC Convention in Los Angeles led to many dangerous moves on his part that almost got his ass whipped and manhandled on the dancing floor by one of the Nigerian politicians. KKD did not understand that Los Angeles was not a place for his continued WIC politics of underachievement and political manipulation. His effort to silence the critics and the HOD empowerment force did not materialize, even as he wasted WIC money revising and making copies of a revised Program of Events with the sole purpose of dealing with Jimmy Asiegbu and others who were part of the HOD empowerment force having failed to completely influence the Los Angeles Igbo Cultural Association to de-list me from the HOD list. At the end, what was destined to be did come to Be, and the HOD came alive with some of our WIC-HOD forum suggestions. It also became obvious that KKD was running for the Abia State Governorship using WIC as a stepping stone, no wonder he turned blind eyes to the demands of Umu Igbo in fighting the injustices of Obasanjo's administration towards Anambra State and Ala-Igbo. What is really worrisome is why would a WIC Chairman be DRUNK on such an important World Igbo Event, to the extent that esteemed dignitaries from Nigeria noticed it. More on his abortive and disappointed visit to Abuja and WIC Convention.
The People's Servant, Prince Jimmy E. Asiegbu National President, ASA-USA
I should have known that these Igbo Efulefu were substance abusers too.

The other time you were “bored” that I left you have the last word then. Now you complain that I returned WHEN I WANT AND CHOSED TO. When will you simply accept the fact that Nwa Aro does not and will NEVER live in Wacko or anyone’s world? So if you expect Nwa Aro to stay in this village 24/7 discussing issues which I honestly think are CRASSY, then be sure that I will continue to go on “further studies” or things like that. Neither you nor I is here to make arguments that will be acceptable to all. Rather, I think one should come here to make his/her point and let people reach their conclusions.

I am sorry if my sweeping comment above gave you or anyone the wrong impression. My comment above has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with my previously UNRESOLVED quarrel with Ohafia. Rather, it was made PURELY in reference to him starting this thread. So if you don’t mind, I would rephrase my comment to read thus: I HAVE NO QUARREL WITH YOU (Ohafia) FOR STARTING THIS THREAD, RATHER MY QUARREL WITH YOU IS THAT YOU USED OKENWA’S NAME AS ITS TITLE.
As to how you smartly linked Okenwa being the subject of the WIC chairman’s press release, I am sorry to disappoint you by telling you that that is simply your own interpretation and at best mere SPECULATION without any trace of prove whatsoever…Nwa Aro of 2005 is too smart to buy into such crap.
Lastline: apart from the bourgouse allegation that "no one has worked agiast Biafra than Okenwa," which one does not need to be a rocket scientist to know that it is the reson why you so-called Biafrans want Okenwa's head, nothing that you guys have writen on this thread or those before it that has convonced me that Okenwa is as bad as you guys want the world to believe...that is the onus of my argument. AN IGBO DOES NOT NEED TO BELIEVE IN THE BIAFRA OF TERRITORY TO BE A GOOD IGBOMAN/WOMAN. QED.
