NDIGBO, IT'S REALLY A SHAME

It's a shame what's happening in Igboland and what some of our Igbo people are defending today

In Igboland, we once had renowned brave, highly educated and "Igbotic" men like

Pius Okigbo,

Mbonu Ojike,

Nnamdi Azikiwe,

Kenneth Dike,

Flora Nwapa Chinua Achebe

Eni Njoku

And even the very present Chimamanda Adichie and others

It's troubling that we have some of us today arguing in support of schools closure and the disruption of the academic calendar of Igbo kids by truncating their exams for very confused reasons

TO THE SHAME OF OKEZIE IKPEAZU AND OTHER IGBO GOVERNORS WITHOUT VISION

By Prof. Obi Nwakanma

Nwanna, Many years ago, the General, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu spoke about the "Biafra of the mind." Only a few, I think, understood him. Well, they say, only the deep speak to the deep.

But let me attempt here to tease out Dim Ojukwu's prescription: the greatest proof of Igbo survival and aspiration must be to model, wherever Onye-Igbo stands, the ethos of innovation, excellence, ingenuity,

Bishop Godfrey Onah again speaking like a leader he is

A lot was said in this interview

Listen

Something About The Imo Airport.

What many never knew

This shows the stuff true leaders are made of

Those who have the interest of their people at heart, who can see beyond their tenure and the future implications of their little effort & courage

This is Admr Alison Madueke A lot happened as our people strives to rebuild their homeland in the years after the war, into the 1980s and beyond

One theme that has kept recurring is the subtle suspicion of the region and their intentions by the Nigerian authorities

Deliberate stifling of the region

When actually did Ákwá isi ọdụm/isi agụ design become the Igbo signature or traditional dress?

Has it always been this?

At what historical point did the adoption begin by ndị Igbo? From history and from available records or photos of Igbo people taken some decades ago, or earlier in the 1900s that,we haven't seen much of that today

Re: Anti-open Grazing Law

Alaigbo Politics And Leadership Awareness Forum (APLAF) wishes to commend all the southern governors that have signed the anti-open grazing law in their respective states — this is a good step in the right direction. We wish to admonish Anambra and Ebonyi States governors, who are yet to sign the anti-open grazing bill into law; therefore demand them to do sign it into law within the next 30-days without further hesitation

If you refuse to vote, you have no right to complain

If you refuse to vote, someone will still emerge by the small number of people who voted

Their candidate may not be the best but, you'll be forced to live with it for about a decade

Be smart Politicians determine almost everything that happens to you and many things in your life

For this reason, it'll be foolish to leave the selection of people who have this authority over you, to chance

Or, to leave it in the hands of people who don't know better than you

Re: AGF Malami Expression of Bigotry against Igbo People

APLAF expresses her displeasure at the divisive statements of the Attorney General of the Federation - Mr Abubaka Malami,with respect to the continuing menace of open grazing in Southern Nigeria.

Re: Southern Governors’ Communique

We, the Alaigbo Politics And Leadership Awareness Forum (APLAF) do wish to commend the Southern Governors for promoting the cohesiveness of the people of the Southern region of Nigeria by coming together to deliberate on the various challenges confronting the Southern Nigeria and for the resolutions set out in the communique issued by the Governors, which outlined their thoughts on steps for addressing the challenges — insecurity,

YOUNG IGBO ASS LICKERS

Are you one of them!?

________
Igbo looters have a bright future: they get re-elected into higher office, have their asses scrubbed clean by young lickers, and enjoy complete freedom.

Take Orji Uzor Kalu for instance, that law-making looter Free. Richer

Young hailers slither through muddy roads to hail Kalu as he waves at them from atop his SUV

He was nicknamed “Action Governor” for 8 years.

His nickname, however, was less shiny than what his successor got: Onwa—moon.
