Ebonyi State's lawmaker, Maria Ude Nwachi promises to sell the SUV gifted to her by the state governor, and use the proceeds to empower her constituents.



She Wrote

Honourable members of Ebonyi house of assembly were presented with swank brand new Prado SUVs each, on Thursday. It was really exciting. I was like WOW!! The cars are looking tempting, baddest and sooo mega hot. Soooo sooo yum-yum...



As yum-yum as the car looks, as baddest as the car looks, I will NOT drive it. The spoils of this car must be enjoyed by every living being and organism in Afikpo and even beyond. For Afikpo so love their daughter/mother, ‪#‎BCEL‬, that they stood their ground, made national history, by electing a political nobody like me, a person without a single political structure, no godfather, limited mula, no nothing, via a party, PPA, that did not even have an office in Ebonyi state. Unheard of! I remain the only elected member of PPA in the whole federation and the only member of a minority party in the entire Ebonyi state house of assembly. So what are we talking about here, this hot ride is yours biko. You no dey drag am with anyone. Na yours!!! Ooogini. Uka akpawo onwue.



This ride will be turned into liquids! The proceed will be used towards massive empowerment. Revolving loans, and to aid those in need of small funds to start a business or kick life into their businesses. A portion of it will go towards my some of my on-going projects for the sweetest people of Afikpo. Onwe be nu gu ihe nji onwo mu emeee oooo. Na you be my mission. Period.



I will personally chop 200k of this liquid, what will I use it for? Buy as much wax/ankara as I want. Sow as many wax gowns and wrapper/blouse as I want, can't sow enough of them. lol. Hey, I gotta have my own fun. Body no be fayawood.



Ahem, my Facebook constituency, you know how we do it, winkz. Na we we things nah. Your share dey there...Chill.



A special thank you to HE. Engr. David Nweze Umahi, my Right Honourable Speaker, and my fellow honourable members!!!



Note to all: This ride is our official entitlement. Literally every state in the federation has already given their honourable members their cars, Ebonyi is basically the last to do this. Our Governor was even under fire from various quarters for not having yet given us our own. This has been the norm since the advent of democracy in this nation. Ebonyi cannot be different. If any change has to be made; it has to be a national change. To those wondering if our Governor pays salaries; yest he does. Our governor is not amongst the state governors not paying salaries of workers.



Addendum: Winning election no easy oo. That is why there are less than 3000 people elected in the whole of this country. Every elected should be able to do what they want with their entitlement. I chose to do this because it is convenient with my lifestyle. It coincides with my person. And it is my personal choice. Do not judge others based on my personal choice because they also have their own way of doing good things for those they're representing.



Dear Greatest Afikpo, your burden remains my burden, happily, joyfully! You ain't see narrin yet, at all. I love you, madly,

Yours Truly,
Maria Ude Nwachi (Afikpo Chic).

This is a commendable act. Wisdomkosi, I think your cries have reached some listening ears. Blastos, can you now see that the cars were given out as gifts by the governor?

Sell fire


Modified..
I didn't know that she has a good heart unlike other kworopt politicians, she should keep up the good work.

Better woman. E better make she sell am, use part of the money buy Innoson brand and use the remainder of the money to empower her constituents. The governor no try at all.

Excellent decision Maria.
Oga Seun and Lalasticla kindly do the needful.

Nice 1

Is this not an official vehicle? If it is, then, this opinion is out of consideration because it's a government asset.

So, the car na gift and not official government property? Abi how do you sell off official government property?

I reserve my comment Until she sell it before i will knw what to comment.

Nigeria politicians always trying to deceive the ignorant people. How can you sell government property. Equally sell the officer house given to you make the money plenty. Nonsense.

maria aka afikpo chic is someone I know with a heart of gold. Prado jeeps for honourable members has always been a norm in Nigeria. So I salute her courage

First of all, what is the rationale behind buying a car for each member? How many of them doesn't have their personal cars before and how does this gargantuan waste of public money better the lot of the citizens of the state.

Keep it up, one day u will get to the top. Afikpo chic

See drama

2016 Prado SUV worth 15m as gift, wat a waste of public fund. The action of this Hon chic has clearly demonstrated dt it was a needless gift, if at all they shld get 5m suv.

Spending this much for a state legislator in hard economy is unacceptable esp for a poor state like Ebonyi

This is the type of leaders Nigerians need in the helm of affairs not rulers that prefer the comfort of developed nations to their country with insensitive policies.

God bless her. There is still humans among our idiots politicians

OK

From Buhari to state governors to NASS members to Local govt leaders; all will say no money wen it comes to d plight of ordinary Nigerians but keep buying SUVs n travelling up n down. Dis country is ripe for revolution tay tay

Thanks for the acknowledgement. When I posted this my article, some threatened me while some insulted me. Well Jah knows the best. https://www.nairaland.com/3213807/weep-state-ebonyi-wisdomkosi

ok madam, we don hear o.


Meanwhile,

Hawkers will run about 100 metres to meet up with your bus, you will touch the bottle of LaCasera, Coca-cola, Pepsi and say "it is not even very cold"

Then you go ahead to touch Gala and say "it is too strong"

..... And you think you can make Heaven? Hardly, infact No .......

Mbok!! be kind to others!!!!!


Happy weekend.

Please don`t quote me o.

fair enough

really

That's good.

A very beautiful and daring move to greater days ahead. I love this

God bless her kind heart

She should sell it first and use it as she said she will or else adonbilivit, no be today these politicians don dey talk am.

Nice initiative

BCEL (best chic ever liveth) always on point.

Those of you praising the lady have to be out of your minds

Selling the car and handing over the money is personal generosity on her part, and that - for me - is a personal thing.

What is extremely clear is that she is every bit a part of the problem in Nigeria. To insist publicly that a 15 + million Naira car is an 'entitlement' in a time of recession is just mindblowing.

Even worse is her claim that 'change must be national'. Change MUST come from everyone of us if this country is to improve. Using the logic that "all other states have given their own legislators car gifts and our own cannot be different" is just totally hilarious.


I must admit to being extremely disappointed. Reading the headline, I'd imagined it was an attempt to show the world that these 'official cars' were an extravagant largesse that Governors should abstain from doing...yet the entire article is a validation of the waste of state funds.

Some of you will flame me for this. I'm prepared.

Even before becoming a member of the House, Hon. Maria has always been a Philanthropist. That jeep is nothing compared to what she has done for the People of Afikpo. Her popularity earned her that post from a Political Party that is not known in Ebonyi State (PPA). Anybody who lives in Ebonyi State knows how difficult it is to win any election in the State from a Party other than PDP, but Hon. Maria Broke that jinx. She is a super woman.

So?
