...Thank God He Won...But Performance Matters Tho!

You are right that performance matters. But the people wanted to teach Dr Ngonadi a bitter lesson that looking down on people is not good and careless talk can lead to a man's downfall

Now RICH forever.....

Apart from from the fact that he contested under APGA, I must say that emotions came to play

Story

not story.. but a lesson for those who are blessed with wisdom... not for those with pedestrian brains.

IFEOLUWAKRIZ:
Mr N is an uncouth idiotic person. He ruined his political career with his own mouth that runs like a basket. He deserves what he got after. Oponu Who makes mockery of someone's misfortune? He thinks the poor woman is happy being an akara seller? He thinks she does not fancy enjoying life to the maximum? Stupid son of a stupid rich father who could have been worse off without his father's wealth.

Good points you raised ...although I must add that the woman might be happy with her akara business and there's nothing wrong with that

There's this joy that comes with providing services to people... The dependence on you to deliver, the happiness and look of satisfaction on their faces when they get to buy your good product

wifeesnatcher:
there is nothing we will not read from East


ajimobi once wash dead body before. fayemi mom do firewood business. Nonso mother decide to do Akara so what's the fuss about


Nnewi people vote him because his mother was an akara woman or because he can deliver to his constituency


some mumu talk ehn

LoL... U dae mind them.

Though Mr N was wrong in saying that with all ramifications he is much more qualified than him

So inspiring

He shouldn't disappoint his people because power intoxicates

kennlynx:
To all the positive opinions on this topic, may God bless and reward u all, and while to the negative comments, How I wish you really know the young man in question. I'm of the opinion that one should investigate properly before commenting on topics. Mr Obinna Ngonadi who happens to be the son of Chief Humphrey Ngonadi of Ngobros and sons company limited, went too extreme to insult and humiliate his fellow brother Mr Nonso Smart Okafor who also was a contestant for the same race by bringing up Smart okafor Mother's source of livelihood to public disgrace all in the name of politics.
This is a moral lesson to all and sundry that one should never look down on the other because what goes around must surely come around.

I even talked with obinna some days before the election. Never knew he said such.
Although Smart is a charismatic type, not just that na NNE ya na ere akara.
Obinna has a lot going for him. I was suggesting he even focus on deepening Ngobros group and taking it to a higher level.
I don't even fancy these politics of a stuff

That's the thing with our people. If you come from influential family, you become a target.
They will say, he is depending on his fathers glory.
Although the Smart guy is charismatic but Obinna is also well educated. In fact I advised him to forget politics and focus on growing there corporation.

he is a very good man...smart happened to be the SUG president of okopoly during my school days....he fought it tooth and nail with the school management against their increment of school fees,but he had the fees reversed eventually... smart kudos to you the great unionist..

Do not ever look down on any body for nobody knows tomorrow.

My prayer is that the guy delivers. The difference between the akara seller and the chief son in terms of delivery is that, the chief son is already rich, chances are high that he is trying to build up his political profile, but the akara seller son is poor, chances are high that he has a lot of mouths to feed, he has a lot of family members to lift from poverty. This would cost his pocket more. Chances of him embezzling money will be very very higher.

ANYBODY SHOULD ARGUE WITH ME ON THIS

Go and kill your self. Your jealous i know.

Are you saying that he will use his constituency allowance to open boutique for his mother now that he has 'arrived'?

Even the akara frying business will be moved to the next level

Are you saying that Nnewi North constituency funds will be pumped into his own family business so that he can get to the level of ngobros

Wow.. Congratulations Smart. I have always known he would attain a reasonable level of success in Anambra politics way back when he was struggling in school at Oko polytechnic.

IbrahimDamola:
But okanaube wait o...

I'm still trying to find out why smart is loved so much. Many people who voted PDP for presidency and YPP (Ifeanyi's uba) for senate vote Smart of APGA.
Commoners in Nnewi donated money, vehicles, just to ensure smart campaigns, win and go to Awka.

Tell me more about that guy.

The reason is very simple. Smart was born with leadership qualities. I had not gained an admission when he was the SUG president but after hearing his story, I so much loved him. I had an opportunity of hearing him speak during our Youth program in the church (school), I loved him the more. Had chatted with him several times on Facebook too. Smart is just simply good. Smart was the only politician I supported during this election though not from the same state. Smart is just too good.

I don't understand, why the hiding of names, this is an event that's supposed to have taken place in public domain, na public event, so why the anonymous mode in telling the story

TroubleMaker47:
Nnewi ppl hv enter once chance!
THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A HUMBLE POOR MAN!
Give him money and watch him transform to a beast!

I doubt you. He didn't steal as an SUG president, he won't steal. Smart has integrity

OkaNaUbe:
Meet APGA Candidate Who Won Because He Was Insulted That His Mother Sells Akara

Nnewichi, Nnewi, Anambra State.


Two candidates from Nnewichi, Nnewi came out during APGA primaries as candidates to represent Nnewi North LGA in Anambra State House of Assembly.

Mr N (lets call him that) is the son of a very rich man in Nnewi. He had his PhD in London. His father owns a factory. He introduces himself as the son of his father because he has no identity of his own, other than being attached to his father's company. His father spent millions of naira for his campaign and other 'big men' also supported him.

Meanwhile, Mr Smart Nonso Okafor is a poor fatherless young man but very intelligent and an orator. His father died when they were young. His widowed mother fries and sells (bean cakes) "akara" and with people's help, she managed to train her kids. Smart Nonso schooled at Oko Polytechnic and was a SUG President. He has also held so many positions in Youth Organizations in Anambra State.

During campaign, "Mr N" said he is so much qualified after all he is the son of Chief and it would be best suited to represent Nnewi peoples and that his opponent, Mr Smart Nonso "bu nwa nwanyi na eghe akara" (son of akara woman) "so he is not qualified".

This statement angered Nnewi people and they campaigned for Mr Smart Nonso instead. Some candidates who wanted to contest within APGA for the said post withdrew and started supporting Mr Smart Nonso.

After the primaries, Mr Smart Nonso won and Mr N entered YPP and won the ticket to run for the said post. Again, his father "pumped" more money for his election campaign.

During the House Of Assembly election of last Saturday, people paid money to all akara frying women, provided firewood and ground beans and asked them to keep frying akara. Akara was declared free of charge in Nnewichi. Vote for Smart Nonso and eat as much as you want.

After the election, Mr N and his father with other rich men supporting them were bent on thwarting the result but God of the poor widowed mother said NO..Eventually Mr Smart Nonso was declared winner. There is jubilation everywhere in Nnewi.

See videos of his campaign>>>

Nonso O.

Nice one

Napoleondegreat:


I heard about this very Smart when I was in federal polytechnic oko. he had left oko poly by the time I was there about ten years ago. But the stories of his exploit as the sug president abounds everywhere in the school. Notably among them is how he fought selling of handout by lecturers successfully. And how the lecturers there retaliated by making sure he Smart graduated with just pass. Smart Nonso was a reference point to what a student leader should be

You truly know Smart. Smart is the Formula, Smart is the solution

nonsobaba:
Are you saying that Nnewi North constituency funds will be pumped into his own family business so that he can get to the level of ngobros

Reason am. One entered politics despite the fact that he already has an empire waiting for him, while one is from a very struggling family.

Unless he is someone who has been proven to be 100percent incorruptible, chances of him stealing money is very high, he has tasted poverty, he would never want to go back there again. He would do anything to stay out of it. People like this are the type that once they get into power leaving becomes a do or die affair.

I might be wrong though

I am so happy for him, this is really a touching and inspirational story....
Nonso, my wish & prayers for you are
1. never forget your background
2. Don't neglect those that believed in your course and thus voted for you
3. Never be ignorant, rude or proud and finally
4. Don't allow meat-pie, buggers and fried chicken take the place of AKARA in your life......... Go & succeed my honourable friend

Op na person name dey hard you to mention...even Amaechi wey carry army dey terrorize everywhere pipu no fia to call em name na person wey lose election you dey censor N ...mtchww.

Abeg aproko Nairaland pipu make una see the details hia joor

The APGA Candidate Mr Nonso Okafor was declared winner and returned elected, having scored the highest number of votes with thirteen thousand two hundred and thirty-one (13,231) votes as against the YPP candidate, and first runner up, Dr Obinna Ngonadi, who polled twelve thousand three hundred and eighty- three (12, 383) votes

Why wont it sound like a mere story to you?

I clicked on your profile and saw you live in Lagos (a place where people like you would have rather voted for the likes of "Mr. N" )

The photo below is proof

Anambrans are smarter than Lagosians

IbrahimDamola:


Biodun Osagie my dear Yoruba Muslim brother. I agree with you. We must lament to Allahu and beg him to make Abia and Ebonyi hate themselves.

Ebonyi will never mind their state, their eyes fixated on anambra matter.

Too appalling.

The lesson is clear: never look down on others. Our status in the society may vary, but we are all equal in the eyes of Almighty God.

Apga bought people's vote with money at all the polling units across the state, starting from #500 to 2k per vote, they even force people to show their ballot papers after voting before u collet ur money
