redsun: His yoruba comrades are busy imposing olojas and masquarades in lagos,himself is busy trying to turn the people's age long unifying traditions upside down. Fo.olish man. Ngige staged a rally at Ladipo market and he was well received unlike your chicken and incompetent Obi. From recent events in and outside Anambra, Ngige looks way more popular and respected than any other local politician in Anambra. |

The level of backwardness and outright bushmanism exhibited by many posters on this thread who are supposedly educated is alarming. So called enlightened people still believe in curses and being herded by kings and obis, to vote for a choice which is not theirs. SMH |

"(during those days no cenesors were introduced on NL)... again, the commen in the heat of the thread threw me off my own behind from the chair laughing so hard lol is why I keep coming back - every now & then someone will have ya rofl so bad...

Same way false prophets hold their captives in bondage through fear of curses. as long as they remained ignorant they will prefer homage to development. the people that travelled most to developed countries are Anambra people yet their land is a sorry state to look upon. |

debbleopto: Jesus never disobeyed constituted authority during His life on earth. Uncountable crusades have been taking place in Onitsha since history and none has ever clashed with the ofala festival. What is a political gathering of thieves to be compared with Jesus' rally. I repeat there is no excuse anyone will give to support that political rally holding at during ofala festival. |

IMO there's no way the Obi's secretary would have okayed Ngige et al's visit before or during the Ofala. If I remember onitsha traditions well, the Obi goes into seclusion the week before the Ofala and only reappears to the public on the ofala day. Ngige can't say he doesn't know this |

Cuche: I discovered Obi supporters for his third term agenda on NL are not campaigning with projects executed maybe because there is too little or non. As someone pointed out earlier, Ngige's supporters are mostly Yoruba's - that begs the question - are you pushing Tinubu's ambition or after the development of Anambra? As for projects by Obi, maybe he didn't do shit, but dont act like APC governors are doing any better(except Lagos). What has been done in Ogun state? what did Amosun do with all the billion billions abi he dey buy cement 2m per bag? |

manny4life: Beyond the Obi sef, Dude thinks the Igwe' council dashes out titles? The only title anyone can get as they so choose or want is the Ozo or Odu titles so pllllls it's got nothing to do with him wanting to give them titles n them refusing. |

ifyalways: Reporting live from Onitsha . . . Please tell them! Traditions and customs may be going extinct but one that is still going strong is Onitsha's. The ofala is considered sacred even to the most learned Onitsha indigene. Note that Agbogidi Achebe is highly educated. |

I keep wondering who strategizes for APC. The most rational thing to do as politician, isn't it to move your political machinery to the Obi's Ofala festival and garner some support? Even if not invited, go there and show respect, the Obi is akin to Sultan of Sokoto. Even a simpleton would have thought that out. When Fashola went on with his deportation saga, some of us observed that it will have a negative impact on Ngige and Rochas. Instead of ameliorating the situation and redeeming himself, Ngige is adding salt to injury. Was he contesting popularity with the Obi of Onitsha or what? So he will say that his campaign drew more people than the Ofala? Foolish strategy. Politics is all about perception, the image you create in people's mind. You can't keep committing political suicide and expect your people to align with you. Only this ignorant act can pitch all the traditional rulers in Anambra against Ngige. The Obi of Onitsha is the highest in hierarchy of traditional rulers in Anambra if not in Igbo land and he can punish Ngige for this insult. All he needs is a palace meeting and several community meetings in one week and Ngige loses half or more of his present supporters, if he has not lost most by now. |

I believe this is a plan by the opposition, Ngigie seek permission and was granted by the Igwe and later curse him to make it look like Ngigie is rude. This is the hand work of Peter Adaobi to tarnish Ngige imagine since the deportation saga is not working anymore. Peter Adaobi you have lost it. |

This is the hand work of Peter Adaobi to tarnish Ngige imagine since the deportation saga is not working anymore. Peter Adaobi you have lost it. Is Ngige no more an Igbo man from Anambra State? Does he not know that Ofala festival is a revered festival in Onitsha? In Igbo land, to be considered a responsible man grown up (Ngige is over 50 years), you have to know the tradition and cultures of your Umunna (Kinsmen). Why should Ngige even ask for permission to carry out his campaign that day? Does common sense not tell him that there will be divided attention? Is he contesting anything with Obi of Onitsha? That's a political miscarriage. You have to be witty and strategize well, that's politics. Your contenders want to win, so every tactics so long as it's not against the law is allowed. You don't tell Ronaldo and Messi how to dribble you so long as they are playing within the rules of football. That's what politics is like. 1 Like |

Does the obi has the legal right to grant or deny ngige his rally? As a learned man that he is he knows that and he also thought ngige will do the wise thing in respecting the peoples age long tradition. if only you know the person of igwe Achebe then you will not allege that Peter obi is influencing him.go find out why he resigned as the head of traditional rulers council in anambra state. |

During the ofala a friend joked that ngige must have smoked before taking the decision to hold the rally on that day. It would have been a masterstroke if he had shown up with his team and spiced up the place. He exhibited a terrible lack of finesse to be honest. 2 Likes |

kross_01:Now i understand and what is Igwe stress? is Ofala a public festival? is there any holiday for the festival? if not then Igwe does not have right to curse anybody since there is equal right for every indigine to carry out there civic right since people of the Onitsha/anambran go on there daily routine. In Lagos they declare public holiday for Eyo festival |

If you cannot respect that, stay our of it. 2 Likes |
