Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), has congratulated 22-year-old Nigerian-American Steve Ezeonu for winning the Grand Prairie City Council election run-off in Texas, U.S.

Mrs Dabiri-Erewa congratulated Mr Ezeonu in a statement by Abdur-Rahman Balogun, Head of Media and Public Relations of the commission.

She said Mr Ezeonu’s victory was hard-earned but well-deserved.

According to the statement, the young Nigerian-American earned 3,903 votes to beat his closest rival Greg Giessner, who garnered 3,720 votes in the June 5 run-off.

The run-off saw Mr Ezeonu (Democrat) getting 51.2 per cent of the votes against Mr Giessner’s 48.8 per cent.

Mrs Dabiri-Erewa explained that by emerging victorious, Mr Ezeonu proved “hard work and dedication to duty pay.”

She pointed out that she was not surprised by Mr Ezeonu’s victory because his resilience, dedication, doggedness contributed to his success despite his young age.

The NiDCOM chief urged other Nigerians to imitate Mr Ezeonu’s feat and strive to excel in their pursuits as “hard work is the key to success,” while urging them also to continue to demonstrate the spirit of resilience imbibed in Nigerians.

Old men in America tried to not let us hear 22-year-old Nigerian-American Steve Ezeonu too, just that he shouted louder and wisely and overcame just as you too might in Nigeria if you persevered and fought wisely till you win.

Your advice is useless because quota system hates hard work and smart people under fulani slavery zoo.

In Nigeria these old men parading themselves as leaders would rather shatter his dreams and relegate him among menial job seekers. You hardly see a young person of 20-25 achieve something big in this Nation why? Cuz these selfish leaders are bent on frustrating the Country's most brilliant mind and are now using poverty as a tool for us to do their biding and defend their woes

#Nigerians it's time to snatch ur future from them
#If at all u want to apply for a passport inorder to process ur travels, it's now hard inorder words ur freedom of movement is getting strangled
#Ur freedom of speech is being strangled
#Ur right to a better life is stolen
#June 12 is the time to make ur voice heard
#Stop cowering in fear
#Nigerians we all deserve a better life and a good governance
#Dont let June 12 meet you at home

Nonessential nonsense. The guy is a Biafran, not a Nigerian. Abike Dabiri is from Oduduwa Republic, not Nigeria. The only Nigerians that I know are Almajaris begging on every street and blood sucking vampires from the Sahara desert.

Imagine if the boy were to be in Nigeria, by now, JAMB for still they jam am.
Such a stagnated system that strangles the growth of its youths. Tufiakwa.

AntiBMC:
Imagine if the boy were in Nigeria

Fulani Armed Forces would have killed him sinnnnnce.

I thought they were all IPOB terrorists that deserve to be shot at sight like the Footballer the Nigerian soldiers shot on his way to Imo Airport on May 31st, 2021.

Rest in Peace, Ugo eji eje mba. Okeosisi.

Reason why old men win

Old men go out and campaign
Old men go out and meet the people
Old men drain their akant to pay for campaign workers
Old men take risks and jump up and down and hold night meetings.

Meanwhile young men and women
Are posting on instagram
Are watching Big Brother
Won't join a party
Won't form a party
Won't apprentice themselves to an experienced poltican to learn because 'they are all illiterates, and all corrupt'
Won't volunteer for community service.
Won't empty their akant to build projects in their village.
Won't leave their computer/android/I-phone
Won't leave the club/bar
Won't leave Zee world, Africa magic, and now TVN and timeless dizi


And then they wonder why the old men are winning elections....


Buhari got to Aso Rock after losing 3 elections, and after wasting money on campaigns and in one instance forming a new party from scratch
GEJ was an apprentice to bigger men, and climbed patiently until he got to the top...or to a favourable position where he could be chosen for bigger things.

Someone once opened theread on this site to announce he was running for councillor of his LGA ...and 80% of the comments mocked him. 80% mocked a guy who was actually doing his part.

Stop blaming the old men. Your inaction is why they are there and still there.
