Excellent post! If anyone flay you for this, never pay them any mind, they're part of the problem.

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.

Well am from Afikpo.Our Afikpo chic, incase u wanna sell it contact me here 08184932149.

acts.

This is because this one got to nairaland. That woman is something else! She's an amazing person!

Seriously , I really want to say thank you for your kindness gesture towards your ebonyians. You have set an example for ebonyi politicians and Nigeria as a whole .
I am every impressed , though am from Abia state .
May God give you more strength and make your dreams come tru.
Others that get the same car, you can learn from her and do yours in another way knowing that one day we will leave the earth and those things will still remain .
Thank you once again .

After selling the car, use the money to help people. Don't use the money for yourself.

At 1st I was going to applaud u, but reading on got me appalled instead. That everybody does something does not mean it is RIGHT by any way.
I just realised u are seeking cheap publicity.
Goodnight Skeliwag!

I dare say some of us share in your sentiments.
The mind boggers at the collective loss of common sense that has now entirety eaten up the brains of Nigerians. From the assembly woman to the State Governor/Government, to the citizenry.
It's like we wake up to a new one everyday. Not to get ahead of myself but I think we have lost it. It is hopeless.

truthspeaks:
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

That revolution needs to happen like yesterday.

Funny chic she is the first person to drove hummer jeep in Ebonyi state

Bro can any rational person fault ur post?

I didn't wanna comment b4 I ain't from ebonyi, the east or even having any drop of igbo blood.

But seriously reading that post I can tell her heart might be in the right place but her head isn't.

I even decided to view her wall and yes she seems like a social commentator but lo and behold I DID NOT FIND ANYTHING RELATED TO HER CONSTITUENCY POSTED THERE as @ 20th may until this one.

So I actually wonder the job of. A state house of assembly member? How many bills have they passed? Have they mandated govt to patronise made-in-nigeria products?

I'm still waiting for real politicians sha.

okay....

I think she talked about the national change and others to protect her colleagues. I think this lady will care less if the 15 million was given to them for constituency project. To me this lady is an hero, she has a clear mind on what she wanted to do. You might want her to be an activist in the assmbly opposing the extravagance of her colleagues but you also have to realise that not all of us are cut out for activism. Moreover, dont be surprised if some other of her colleagues start to follow her suit. Atimes gospel is better preached by living by example instead of bickering and argument

Blatos, thunder will surely fire u dead this Night.

He should come here and continue his defencem

Hmmm she's blessed

I was cool with her story until she justified the purchase of those vehicles at a time when our economy is doing really poorly.

She will not get my vote again if I was her constituent.

Nonsense. Does the Governor had pay salaryfor Civil Servants? What happen to their salary? (Honourables)

God bless you aunty

Same person....? You decide. Google "Arianna Uzo Egwu".

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

The car is given as a loan,deceiving Nigerians, meanwhile its a dash to them...tnx to her though

God bless you aunty .

Afikpo chic you did well nwanne

She Promised to sell 'just as BUBU promised to equal d naira to d Dollar' make she sell am 1st

With the kind of philanthropic gestures Afikpo Chic is known for, the 15m SUv shouldn't really be such a big deal

ugohemma its 'BLASTOS' not blatos... As for d car gifts, I still stand with my story. Its captured as a loan which d house members payback into d coffers of d HOA through out their tenure. although d price is subsidized Dis money is used to take care of d HOA's overhead expenditure, so as to make d HOA financially independent. mercysam23 u never give me dat number ooo.

This kind of a woman not too many for naija. She really represent the masses that voted her.

Is dat nt d same ebonyi owing salaries of workers, yet he has d money to buy cars 4 d lawmakers, nawa o.

First Lady of Afikpo. She has always been a giver. And it always shows in how God blesses her.

Ride on good woman.

NextGovernor:
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.

First of all before you start wondering who maria is....shr returned from the states bout 5yrs ago with plenty monet, within the past yrs, she has in various ways helped a lot of ppl, and during the last election coz of how nice she's been to the entire ppl of Afikpo the was voted into office...Now directly to you, she ain't deceiving anyone, if she say she will do it. the Afikpo chic that I know will do it...she's too good to a fault. She's the minority leader in the house even the Governor respects her. take note!
