Comr. Umendu Udogadi Jr,

Writes from Aba, Abia State.

High chief Dr Emeka Kalu PhD,

MD/CEO Stercoll Ltd USA is deed an epitome of a true and  selfless leadership.

An advocate of true and modern democracy.

A defender of equity,  equality and unity of a democratic Nigeria.

Dr kalu, is that one United States trained  Igbo man whose loyalty to party, and respect to  party wishes and positions is never ever in doubt.

Haven paid his dues and transversed the ladders of internal politics to become the DG Atikulated Agenda in 2019, and much later the National Coordinator PDP Coalition, is well positioned to take up the responsibilities and challenges that comes with the position of PDP national publicity secretary head-on.

Dr. EMEKA KALU the energetic, social and jovial converser,  is that one man whose capacity to lead, and  ability to mobilize grassroots

can never be questioned.

Personally, I describe Dr. Emeka Kalu as the respected unicorn of the east. A man whose hunger for a progressive Nigeria is unquestionable.

Here behold, is a man whose vibrancy and intellectuality is needed to keep the bad leadership of the APC on it's toes..

Here behold is a man whose voice roars louder than the voice of the great lion the king of the jungle..

Here behold is an IJELE masquerade whose presence alone sends shiver down the spines of the lesser masquerades.

Here behold is a tripod network whose networking nest cut across the three major ethics of Nigeria.

Here behold is a man who won't have problems relating with party authorities, party stalwarts and stakeholders..

PDP let's go vote a "MAN" with capacity, ability, and capability.

VOTE DR EMEKA KALU FOR NATIONAL PUBLICITY SECRETARY OF PDP✓✓✓

Pandora Papers: How I made money —Peter Obi

A former governor of Anambra State and vice-presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2019 general elections, Peter Obi, has said he was a trader who ventured into banking before he became a governor.

Obi said this during an interview on The Morning Show, an Arise TV programme that aired on Monday.

This is amid allegations from a report inspired by Pandora Papers which listed him as one of the personalities who clandestinely set up and operated businesses overseas, including in notorious tax and secrecy havens in the ways that breached Nigerian laws.

Obi had reacted to the report, saying, “I did not in any respect whatsoever violate any law before, during and after my stewardship as the governor of Anambra.”

He added, “I think that the authors displayed ignorance on matters of Trust and International Investment Practices.”

Speaking during the Arise TV programme monitored by The PUNCH, Obi answered a question on how he made money before becoming a governor.

He said he ran a planned market management company, adding that he “was the sole importer of Heinz salad cream, just to give you an example of one company.

Politicians angry because I’m preaching savings, says Obi

Pandora Papers and Nigeria’s hidden wealth

“I was the sole engineer of South African Breweries. I was also bringing in Ovaltine.

“The company I was with before, I left it for my brother who took over and paid me off. That company became the Next Cash and Carry which you see in Port Harcourt and Abuja.”

He further revealed that he used to import wine back in the days, adding that “everyone knew I was a very big trader.”

He said, “I had a very good business but went into banking.

“I was sitting in the board of three banks and was the chairman of one before I became a governor.”

Obi also revealed that he had major shares in the banks where he was a board member.

He, however, stated that joining politics made him poorer even though he doesn’t regret the decision he took

BIAFRA - is this the way?are we doomed as a people?

 News Update

BIAFRA - is this the way?are we doomed as a people?

We kill ourselves to protest what others are doing against us. In 1967 good Igbo leaders begged Ojukwu not to declare Biafra, to avoid war, he declared Biafra and we lost 3 million people and all our wealth, including our leadership position in Nigeria. Our youths, our girls, our culture and heritage. All were lost because of that war, which started as a result of declaration of Biafra. 

Ojukwu went into exile. Igbos were defeated, humiliated and made second class citizens. Their properties seized as abandoned. All their money were seized and their children abused and brutalized. 

In humiliation and humility they started with nothing and from no where to rebuild themselves. 

Ojukwu was told that all these may happen if he declares Biafra. His father specifically begged him to wait at least let us find a strong country that can support us before he can declare, if he must. 

He called all the advisers saboteurs and claimed that his father was selling out because of his wealth that was scattered all over Nigeria.

Three years after, by 1970 all was lost. Three million well trained and our best all wasted. 

By 1983 when Ojukwu came back from exile he declared that Biafra was no longer fashionable. He joined a national political party and contested for an elective office in Nigeria. At this time all have been lost. Igbos have lost power, properties, political leadership, values, good men and respect. Yet we hail Ojukwu as our hero. 

Compare it to now. We have managed somehow to rebuild part of what we lost in the Biafra war. 

Now a new agitation for Biafra was started again by MASSOB, which is now followed by IPOB. By creating insecurity in igbo land alone, every developed human person in that zone will be on the run. Education will suffer set back as well as every other thing. 

We are crucifying our selves to shame our oppressors.

Like in 1967 they have started calling Igbo leaders saboteurs again. Unfortunately we don’t have the likes of Zik any more to plead our case within the international comnunity, to beg Nigeria to allow relief food in order to reduce 28000 dying children per day. We don’t have Zik to come and negotiate our surrender in order to have no victor no vanquished. Our opponents are already regretting that, they should have taken the remnant of Biafra as slaves and war booty.

The questions are.

1. Why must we fight a losing battle to lose everything?

2. What do we want to achieve in Biafra that we can’t achieve in Nigeria politically?

3. Who will lead Biafra when we eventually get it and where will he come from?

4. How do one convince an Anambra man and Enugu man to let Ebonyi man lead him? Remember sometime ago we had the slot for senate presidency,Hmmmm what happened? We were impeaching ourselves till all south eastern states tasted the sit,what a shame

5. Where can we get the leaders from? The stock of existing Governors or manufactured by IPOB?

6. What will constitute the main economic drive for our development within Biafra? Etc.

Federalism as we have it today in Nigeria, makes every state a country. A quasi sovereignty. That is why we have state courts, states can make their own laws. States can make their budgets and own their properties etc. Governors like Wike have already started applying true federalism by collecting VAT in his state. Let other states go to Supreme Court and ask for powers to secure their people by licensing gun carriers and state police. Also by using available gas in their state to power turbine and provide electricity to their industrial parks in order to employ their work force. Etc

The Biafra we are asking for we already have it in our hand but we don’t know what to do with it. Those who are at the forefront of Biafra agitation today, should know that when the real Biafra emerges, they will not be in a position to determine its leadership. It will be chaos. By then it will be too late to have an opportunity like Nigeria today.

Nigeria is ours to be taken. All we need is to get involved in politics and protect our political interests. 

Please stop blaming others for protecting their own political interest. We have all it takes to win in Nigeria.

1. We have the largest population but we are not united.

2. Our people are scattered all over Nigeria and beyond.

3. Our political interest is merit, Justice, equity and Rule of law. Which is easy to sell to other good men.

4. We have people in diaspora to support our case.

5. We have commerce to back up our pursuit.

6. Our Nigeria Political leadership will bring development to everyone.

Even if we get Biafra. It will be too small to withstand the pressure from the vast poor and uncontrollable North. Therefore, let’s hold a meeting with all the parties and discuss what we need before we make more mistakes.

The meeting should have representations of,

1. IPOB,

2. Ohanaeze 

3. Political leadership 

4. Traditional leadership 

5. Academicians 

6. Business leaders 

7. State representatives.

8. Diaspora representatives.

9. Religious institutions 

10. Women representatives 

This conference will determine what we need to develop as a people. 

If we want Biafra, let it be a collective decision. However, if we want Biafra, there are simple and less dangerous ways to go about it.

1. The South East and South South Congress men could sponsor a bill to that effect and call for a referendum. A survey will be conducted to determine the demography and topography. Then referendum will be conducted and on a certain date we will seize to be Nigerians and instead become Biafrans. However, where that is being frustrated by the Northern lead national assembly, a petition can be sent to UN committee in-charge of state creation, who will bring it to the UN assembly. Nigeria as a party, will state their case after which the Assembly will hear the other sides and vote on it. If the vote is in favour of a referendum, it will be conducted and if majority says yes, Biafra will be created as a new member state of the United Nations.

This idea of killing people, burning houses and destroying properties does not in any way address the issues of secession. Instead it gives room for the people to be addressed as criminals and killed.

Who will convene the Confrence of Eastern? Nigeria????

May God help us.

Gov Obiano Reveals The Outcome Of His Vist To Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari is not in support of a declaration of emergency rule in Anambra State, State Governor Willie Obiano said on Thursday.

The Governor added that he has reported the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami to the President for suggesting a possible declaration of emergency rule in the state.

Governor Obiano made this disclosure while briefing State House Correspondents on the outcome of his visit  with the president in his official residence at the presidential villa, Abuja.

According to him, President Buhari has assured that he was only interested in free and fair election in the November 6 Governorship exercise in the state, citing the example of his (president’s) numerous attempts to win election until his fourth try.

Governor Obiano described the Attorney-General’s statement as unfortunate and questioned why he had not contemplated the imposition of emergency rule in northern states where there has been a number of mass killings.

The Governor said he would call the Attorney-General to express his mind to him over the suggestion, maintaining that apart from the recent security crisis, Anambra had been the most peaceful in the south east.

He also rejected assertions that members of the ruling All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) in the State’s legislature had defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC), saying that what happened was that the members were given N100 million each to join the All Progressive Congress (APC).

He said the members have refused to be bought and have remained in the APGA

    He was given the award for his uncompromising and compassionate penetration of the effects of colonialism and the fate of the refugee in the gulf between cultures and continents”.

Gurnah, who grew up on one of the islands of Zanzibar and arrived in England as a refugee in the 1960s, has published 10 novels as well as a number of short stories.

Anders Olsson, chair of the Nobel committee, said that the Tanzanian writer’s novels, from his debut Memory of Departure, about a failed uprising, to his most recent, the “magnificent”, Afterlives, “recoil from stereotypical descriptions and open our gaze to a culturally diversified East Africa unfamiliar to many in other parts of the world”.

Nigerian Army Reveals Why Nollywood Actor Chiwetalu Agu Was Arrested In Onitsha

Nigerian Army Reveals Why Nollywood Actor Chiwetalu Agu Was Arrested In On its he

Troops of Nigerian Army(NA) have arrested one Chiwetalu Agu while inciting members of the public and soliciting for support for the proscribed Indegenous People of Biafra (IPOB). Dressed in a very well known attire of the proscribed group, Chiwetalu Agu was picked up for questioning while inciting members of the public to join the proscribed group. Though he attempted puting up some resistance when troops made effort to take him into custody, he was not assaulted or subjected to brutalization.

While the NA recognizes the inalienable rights of the citizenry to freedom of movement and expression as enshrined in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, it is apparently a violation for any individual or group to incite the public to cause mayhem or break down of law and order. It is therefore pertinent to state that while exercising such freedoms, it must be done within the confines of the law, bearing in mind the imperative for peace, and national security 

For the avoidance of doubt and emphasis, the Indigenous People of Biafra(IPOB) remains proscribed . Therefore, any individual or group seen to be projecting and advancing the cause or activities of the group is viewed as brazenly challenging the constitutionality of Federal Republic of Nigeria. More worrisome, was the fact that considering the prevailing security situation of the region, coupled with the ongoing Exercise GOLDEN DAWN , his action could be a tacit endorsement and support for the proscribed group. We have all witnessed the activities of the group take a violent dimension in recent times

Chinwetalu Agu has clearly demonstrated uncharitable disposition to negate peace and security in the region, hence, he is taken into custody for preliminary investigation. It is important to once again place on record that the allegation that he was brutalized is false and should be disregarded accordingly.

While the NA would not allow IPOB and its sponsors to hold the region captive and allow the security situation to degenerate, it is instructive to restate that national interest supercedes any parochial consideration. Individuals or groups who fan the embers of violence are warned to desist or face the consequences of their actions. The ongoing Exercises are on course and will rid the region of all forms of criminality.

The peace loving and law abiding people of the South East are enjoined to please
go about their normal activities, as efforts are ongoing to bring perpetrators of violence to book. They are equally urged to continue to support the security agencies to restore normalcy to the region in furtherance of peace.
