Freedom cannot exist without economic security.

It is un thinkable that any governor from any state or governor’s from any Zone of the federation conveniently resolved by themselves to send back any civil servants in their states back to his or her state origin. I do not agree with the contributor who said that it is conveniently agreed by other governor’s in South East. If in past or present any governor committed such anomaly that step should not be followed by Governor T A Orji of Abia State.
Can anybody imagine what will happen if other states of the federation start sending back civil servants of other state origin back to their respective states.
Our leader’s should emulate good things and not bad ones.
I still stand by my words that the governor sort for electoral votes from both the indigene of the sate and non indigenes. Therefore he took official oath after wining election through their votes to protect them economically and physically.
Therefore true individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.Dictatorship could come in different forms throwing some one out of job and sending him back to his state of origin without his consent is dictatorship.
Let the governor retrace his steps before he create another fire that might be hard to quench by the present government.
I stand for peace and togetherness of Nigeria.

Nothing good in old Egypt.

I stand here today to tell those who make promises in their electoral quest without fulfillment. To come out of old Egypt and enter into new Jerusalem, because there is nothing good in old Egypt. Soon and soonest they will meet there waterloo, this is a promise. Nigeria people have had enough of them.

By Emmanuel Amarachi Lizzy

The administration in Nigeria has failed us a great deal. Nlc, Asup and Asuu embarking on strike and leaving us the student to suffer it. Alot of mistake was made during the April 2011 election cos nothing is working and nothing has ever worked right.we need Gods intervention and a good leader to make Nigeria a better nation cos Nigeria is still being rated high among the underdeveloped or third world country.

MY WORD OF ADVICE.

As a leader you are to step on people’s toe but you are not to brake it.
But what do we have in Nigeria today,a place where leader’s step and brake people’s toe.

Nigeria is more in trouble that we may be taking it to be.

Nigeria is more in trouble that we may be taking it to be.
A president of the most populous nation in the world dueling much in the praises 
of another country’s president telling us that he is like a president of the world, anything that is like, is not it and can never be. Let our president present himself as the leader of the most populous black nation in the world and other leader’s in the world will see him as such. The president of the other countries that commended the leadership of this present government at the UN General Assembly,are not in this country called Nigeria to feel the surferring of the Nigeria people, and to know if there is anything to be commended in the present leader’s of the country.
I want the president himself to know that, if you pray from now till another 100 years for Nigeria and there is no visionary leadership, with a mission the country will never get to any destination.
Nigeria is like a man who stands for nothing and definitely will fall for anything.

Evan,I have keenly followed ur post and I am impressed with ur patriotic zeal.Let us never give up until we see the Nigeria of our dream.

A WORD OF ADVICE FROM Nwokoro Ndubuisi Jude

Nwokoro Ndubuisi Jude Evan you must be resilient to make a change. Keep writing and one day somebody on top will read it and invite you but remember not to forget your roots when that time comes. Do not wear agbada or asoke or isiagu when you are invited because that will be anti people ooh. It has happened in the past. READ HISTORY BOOKS.

What exactly is the meaning of security vote?

What exactly is the meaning of security vote?
On what and what is this supposed to be spent on? In the last 12 years of civilian government as constituted by the last military government, billions of naira have been frittered away on nothing, yes nothing. We have not seen anything, physical or otherwise to point at as evidence of the security votes having been well spent. We have also not felt more secure as evidenced by militant activities in the Niger Delta, kidnappers in eastern Nigeria and now the bomb-planting members of Boko Haram in northern Nigeria.
Where has the security vote gone?
Often government says the country can only afford to spend a specific amount of money on security. We also condemn our policemen for not being good enough; but then, these same men excel whenever they go out on assignments in other countries. So, what’s wrong with Nigeria? Why have the elected public officers continued to operate a flawed system under a constitution we all know is not the best for the polity? Why do people seemingly become arrogant and acquisitive the moment they become elected public officers? And now, our lives are being threatened by a group whose motives remain murky. How good is your governor handling the affaires of your state?

Be patient with me, Okorocha begs Imo residents

Be patient with me, Okorocha begs Imo residents

Emeka Ihiegbulem, Orlu.

Imo State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha yesterday called for patience and understanding from indigenes of the state, pledging that he would deliver on his campaign promises.

The governor who addressed newsmen in Owerri, as part of his activities to mark his 100 days in office, berated his predecessor, Chief Ikedi Ohakim for the handling of contracts his administration. While acknowledging that the expectations of the people are high, he noted that it would not be easy achieving all that the government had set for in short time because of the many challenges met by his administration.

According to him most of the contracts Ohakim awarded in the state were highly inflated citing the case of a hall in Imo Concorde Hotel which he said the former governor claimed he spent N2.3 billion to execute.

He also disclosed that Ohakim spent N650 million to refurbish the governor’s quarters a similar project Governor Okorocha claimed he spent N250 million to complete adding that part of the roofs of the building has already started leaking.

Okorocha vowed not to follow such path in administering the state adding that before long the people would start seeing the dividends of voting him in as the governor of the state despite the fact that he met an empty treasury with over N100 billion liabilities when he assumed office.

Thanks for that words of advice

Thanks for that words of advice, this struggle is for a change in Nigeria what ever success we made shall be for the people. Let us believe that their can be people who are well disciplined to practice what the preach. To be an agent of change you must first change your self, and you must discipline your self and must not allow what ever achievement that come your way to get over you.
Humility is my watch word in this struggle. Because humility is the only true wisdom by which we prepare our minds for all the possible changes. He who sacrifices a whole offering shall be rewarded for a whole offering; he who offers a burnt-offering shall have the reward of a burnt-offering; but he who offers humility to God and man shall be rewarded with a reward as if he had offered all the sacrifices in the world.

Can you let us know if the governor in your state is keeping to his campaign promises.
What about the senator representing your senatorial zone, the federal house of representative and state assembly representing your state constituency.
Tell us about your local government Chairman, and counselors, are they still using the old tricks of electoral promises with out fulfillment.
Then what is your assessment to the performance of president Goodluck Jonathan,is he matching his words with action.
Your contributions will go a longer way in making us know the next line of action.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT (ELECTION PROMISES MONITOR)

OUR MISSION STATEMENT (ELECTION PROMISES MONITOR)

Fellow good Nigerian’s your all welcome to this group,the idea of this forum is to give us opportunity to bring a score card of our leaders, in Nigeria to a common table where we can analyze their performances based on there promises during election period.

This forum is open to every good thinking Nigerian, is not a political party and therefore could accommodate every view concerning performance and non performance of any leader irrespective of his or her political affiliation or position.
We are more thoroughly an enlightened people, with respect to anybodies political interests, than perhaps any other group.

Every man among us reads, and is so easy in his circumstances as to have leisure for conversations of improvement and for acquiring information. The most perfect political community is one in which the middle class is in control, and out numbers both of the other classes, but can we say that’s is the situation in Nigeria leadership today?
Political language in Nigeria is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.

A President or governor needs political understanding to run the government, but he may be elected without it, that is the true position we have in Nigeria today.
We have to make sure that at least we reduce this to the barest minimum, by having a forum like this, ELECTION PROMISES MONITOR . The political class in Nigeria has been under one accord for one thing that is,a plain hokum. If you can't convince 'em, confuse 'em. It's an old political trick. But this time it won't work any longer. We have to track them,trace them to a point of no return of those old tricks.In a country where the people are going to sleep empty stomach , no amount of political freedom will satisfy the hungry masses.

Abraham Lincoln of America once said:-
This country belongs to the people and whenever they shall grow weary of their government they can exercise their constitutional right to amend it, or revolutionary right to dismember it or overthrow it.
A little rebellion now and then is a good thing.
Let us exercise our right now by monitoring the election promises of our political leaders.

MY MESSAGE ON NIGERIA @51

I am sick of writing and taking about failure by our desperate shenanigans, shameless pandering leader’s in Nigeria. I am sick of politics in general and witnessing the affaires of the POPEGA (politics of personal gains)politicians plundering the common wealth of our people . Today Nigeria is 51 years as an independent nation and 97 years as amalgamated by the British imperialist.
What hope do the common man has to be proud of this nation called Nigeria. Today our leader’s are celebrating Nigeria independence, what about the so called common man, is he celebrating along with them?
Time has come when we must stand up for our right, and seek for,good housing, constant electricity, good water, employment opportunities for the youths, good health policies, availability of transportation, good education policies and programs etc. These are our right in this country called Nigeria. Let us not wait or think that every Nigerian will come out the same time to demand for our right, it is far from the truth. In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility—I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it. And the glow from that fire can truly light our country. Let us begin this race with malice toward none, with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation’s wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan—to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace, among ourselves, and with nations.
May God give us strength and direction as we seek for our right in this nation called Nigeria.
