I feel Ojukwu Junior has made some valid points.If our country must move forward,we must de-emphasise money politics.Politicking as presently constituted can only attract failed businessmen and women who spend generously to win elections by hook or crook only to come and recoup their expenses and make profit.But remove the jumbo pay and allowances today and lets see how many of these crooks masquarading as politicians would come forward to represent their people.Check it out,Elumelu in the power probe,Hembe in the capital market probe, the current Lawan Faruk in the oil subsidy probe and countless others which were not exposed or yet to be.For how long must we continue to fool ourselves?The arguments against the state police has been very watery and infact nonsensical.What is LASMA in Lagos and other such bodies in other states?Are they not state police or is it because they are not called such?The Igbos have a proverb,if you have a question to ask about the under ground,ask the rabbit.As for the Igbo presidency,I think we deserve it but like he said,we must be united and be prepared to work for it.I thank you all.Chief/Barr.FO Ikemenanwa-PH
Thank you for talking about my beloved Biafra-the mother of d black race, i am pasuaded d ajitation by boko haram will translate to our soverienty. Nobody should loose heart in d quest for re-declearation of the Republic of Biafra. Keep the flag flying... V I C
Nigeria is indeed a sinking ship.Given were we have come form,with the impendiments and imbalances built in our system by those Hausa/Fulani rogue usurpers of power,Nigerian remains a troubled water for an Igbo as President.Those imbalances must be dismantled first. With 19 Northern States plus Abuja,their inflated demography and Hausa/Fulani dominance of every institution in Nigeria with our institutionalisation of corruption, no mortal not even an Igbo can successfully run this mmoribund country of ours. The Igbos and all well-meaning Nigerians should lend their full support to President Jonathan to carry on until 2015. There are more Igbos or Yorubas even Ijaws in polpulation than the Hausa/Fulani and yet the Hausa/Fulanis control just everything in our nation. That must be rectified through the convocation of an SNC.The aim of that will be a devolution of power to various component groups with a true fiscal federalism. With the present set up things in our polity,the Hausa/Fulanis have a lion share of just everything in this country.Our children and posterity shall not live under Hausa/Fulani domination like us.
