^^^You think!?

Part our problem in Alaigbo is that we like to play too much politics and don't tend to look at the bigger picture: the greater good of the entire populace!

There was a time when there was a minimum standard for leadership in Igboland, and that was when the likes of Azikiwe, M.I Okpara and Akanu Ibiam bestrode the political landscape of the old Eastern Region. Fast forward a generation or two, and what are we faced with?: we're confronted with all sorts of political chicanery and subterfuge; neophytes and upstarts filling the political space; and persons of questionable character waving their equally questionable billions in our faces......that being the only claim they have to the office they seek.

If Anambrans stand by and allow this world class technocrat to be 'tricked' out of the APGA primaries (at the very least), then they shouldn't be surprised when they're eventually faced with mediocre visionless leadership and empty slogans of laying of solid foundations for the next incoming leadership......i can assure you that by then it would be too late, and other regions would have left us far behind!

It is not just the problem of Ndigbo not to look at the bigger picture andthe greater good of the entire populace,it is a Nigerian problem if not Africa...Well,Sulodo still has a chance,he can join the PDM party of Atiku`s associates

obviously APGA has a gameplan in place.
signing "ara ga agba ndi ara...."

Okay....he should run go and join pdm

etelu ugba, etelu ose, APC (armed political criminals) will never rule anambra state.

re@lchange:


abeg help me ask o.
ebe like say anambra has turned into yoruba land overnight
no be anambra state?
we shall see

Anambra is no man's land

Tell him (Soludo) that INEC just registered Atiku's paty.

l feel that Soludo is ridiculing himself by going into mainstream politics, particularly at this time when it is controlled by crooks.

dayokanu:

Anambra is no man's land

do i give a flying fk who rules your caveland?
haha, your obsession with the light of the nation is understandable
you need light

People watch out for this name WILLY OBIANO!!!

dayokanu:

Anambra is no man's land

ROTFL!!!
Ori e ti buru
#no offence

l feel that Soludo is ridiculing himself by going into mainstream politics, particularly at this time when it is controlled by crooks.

REHOZIBAH: People watch out for this name WILLY OBIANO!!!

Same world class technocrat was a candidate in the last election, with the backing of the former president he came a distant third. Academic excellence does not make one a good political administrator. All that is needed is one who is intelligent enough to govern, has the political will, and his disposition to the welfare of the people and the management of the resources to achieve that. People like that are many in numbers, its myopic to place the hopes and fate of Anambrarians on just one man.

^^^Jesus wept!

It seems APGA decided to disqualify its frontline candidates, could it be Obi is selling out APGA finally to the PDP?

Is that why obi said he is retiring from active politics immediately after his term. APGA seems dead and is presently lying in the morgue, i doubt if it will resurrect.

my friend as much as i respect soludo,but please we need leaders with peoples sympathy,we need people who feel our pains and can do something to change our furture,no more technocrates and people with harvard certificates,now we need people with human feelings and discipline.

take dat: The same world class technocrat contested in the last election with the backing of the former president and came a distant third. Academic excellence does not make one a good administrator.

tank you, we are growing

asha 80: why?i also find it funny that oseloka was also disqualified.something is not right somewhere.

From the grapevine,Gov Obi had marshalled a fail-proof plan to instal his successor. If plan A does not work,he will switch to Plan B which is the just retired Executive Director of Fidelity Bank(a bank Peter Obi has controlling shares in)...Willy Obiano....

Bensonn:

lol look at this deluded slowpoke, Ngige will be the next governor of anambra state etelu ugba, etelu ose, obulu godi na etelu onugbu ma obu ora ma obu egusi, ngige ga achi anyi. Osukosu ewe sugbu zie gi na ndi otu gi

do you really believe that Obi will hand over anambra money to ngige?
i mean really
odikwa egwu.
