IGBOS! Let's Wake Up from this Our Political Slumber..........

I read one of our 'Political Hybrid' Igbo saying that he'll rather be a Bench Warmer in Super-Eagles (National Team/Party) than be a Regular Player in 'Enyimba FC of Aba' or 'Rangers of Enugu' (Regional Team/Party). That's his way of promoting APC over APGA. And I promptly replied him that I'll rather die fighting for National Recognition of 'Heartland of Owerri' and 'Abia Warriors' than promoting '3SC of Oyo' or 'Osun United' to the National Team level.

The only weapon the likes of this fellow always use to attack us (those defending for a platform that will project Igbo Agenda and Ideologies) is name-calling. Words like; Uncivilised, Traditional, Tribalistic, Bigot, Myopic, Sentimental, etc. always come handy to them. And I keep asking when the Igbos that are the most traveled and most free-minded tribe in Nigeria became Tribalistic than our co-tenants: Awusa and Ofe-Mmanu of this land-area called Nigeria? Or do these our Hybrid Igbos suffering from Inferiority Complex now want to tell us that they're more Civilized than USA? If African-Americans, Indians, Latinos, etc. in USA always associate, belong, identify and prefer Democrats to ' White-Supremacist' Republicans, what's then tribalistic in Igbos doing same with APGA over APC?? Or is Nigerians now also more Civilized than Germans who have 'Christian Democratic Union' and 'Christian Social Union' as Political parties??? I put it to anyone that if USA were practising Multi-Party system, all these ethnicities would've floated their respective Political Parties to project the Interests.

I also keep asking;
What's 'National' about APC that isn't 'International' in APGA?
What's 'Cocastic' about their Members that isn't 'Fantastic' about APGA?
What's 'Twoderful' about their Structure that isn't 'Wonderful' about APGA?
What's 'Sweet' about being an Appendage to Awusa-Ofe Mmanu that isn't 'Honey' in Igbos writing their own History?

What's our (Igbos) stake in the so called national party "PDP" that Igbos (Alex Ekwueme, Emeka Offor, Jim Nwaobodo, Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, Orji Uzor Kalu, to mention but this few) formed? I've associated, argued, discussed and mingled with Awusa and Ofe-Mmanu people so much that I can perceive their smell 10miles away. The much Igbos can ever get if they should agree to the 2nd-Wife in this Unholy Marriage called APC is;
Perpetual reminding by Awusa that we (Igbos) joined because they're afraid of being Killed by their Boko-Haram.
While, Ofe-Mmanu shall forever boast that they coerced us (Igbos) to join because of their Political Sophistication over us.

Umunnem na Umunnam, let's wake up from our Political Slumber and rid ourselves of this terminal disease called "Inferiority Complex". There's NOTHING Awusa or Ofe-Mmanu person can do for Igbos that we can not do for ourselves.

BOMB RAIDERS. .............DAYS AFTER:

You Remember this Pix? It's getting to 3-weeks old now. As a Confessed Christian, I know that anyone in Christ is a 'New Creature'. And I've also experienced and still experiencing the 'Powers of Prayer' when rendered in the 'Will' of Almighty God, and not to gain 'Cheap Publicity' as the 'Pharisees of Old'.

Since the return of our Dr. Jona after this session of 'Binding and Casting' at his Jerusalem Excursion called Pilgrimage, I've been looking out to see a 'New Person' (or a 'New President' for those that'll love it this way) in him. But lo and behold, 'what we see is still what we get': ASUU is still on Strike, Oduahgate is still Unresolved, Crude-Oil is still Pilfered, Our Environment is still heated more from Politics than from Climate-Change, Farouk verse Otedola match is still goalless, Kidnapping, Armed-Robbery and Militancy are still on the increase, Corruption is still a Daily Routine, so on and so forth. Which one has passed away, and which one has been made new???

Whenever I look at this Pix, I keep asking myself if these people were praying for 'Bro. Jona's Personal Salvation' or 'As Mr. President and C-in-C of a Nation' or 'Using him as a point of contact to supplicate for the entire nation to henceforth break off from the Demons of Docility, and start being Good Leaders and Good Followers' or 'were they simply posing for a shut from the presidential photo-journalist in the Tomb of our Saviour'????

Some people will say, it's too early to tell or that I'm judging........but my Holy Bible tells me that even Zacchaeus became a 'New Person' the very second he met with our Christ. So, for the fact that none of these people in the pix has changed, doesn't mean that there is no 'Power in the Name of Christ' but that they only prayed according to their respective 'Wills'  and not according to the 'Will of Almighty God'.

One other thing before I hang my pen for today, I'm a Confessed and Practising Christian but CAN-President do NOT in anyway represent me in my Articles of Belief, Faith and Trust in Almighty God through Christ Jesus. When the 11 remaining Disciples of Christ wanted to replace Judas Iscariot, they Prayed and Casted Lot as led by Holy Spirit. But whenever CAN want to elect President, they Cast, Bind and Lobby against the Holy Spirit.

Emirate Kingdom of Imo State

I hail our Emir; King Owelle Kana Roche.........Ranka De-de ooooooooh!
I also greet his Royal 'Executive' Cabinet and Imperial 'Legislative' Council...........Ka-abi Esi ooooooooh!!
Finally, I felicitate with my follow 'Docile' Imolites............Ndewo Nu ooooooooh!!!

Now that all protocols have been observed, I'll humbly ask my Question:
"What is/are the plan/s of this State Administration for our 'Leaders of  Tomorrow' YOUTHS?"
I sincerely feel that this question is pertinent considering all that's happening in my State: Imo.

First, our Emir in a single wave of his hand, terminated 10,000 Jobs miraculously given to our Graduates (Young men and women of Imo Origin) by one of our 'Worse' past Governors. As if this wasn't enough, he has been making about 30,000 Young Graduates dance Naked in Marketplaces in a sort of "Ido Akpiri Ogologo" Policy called YOUTH MUST WORK. Yet, he creates all sorts of Political Positions but fill them with all sorts of Youths of Non-Imo Origin.

As bad as these may sound, it doesn't pain me as this 70%-Non Indigenes to 30%-Imolites Admission Ratio in our State's Institutions of Higher Learning. Our Emir with these policies, is 'Killing the Future of our Secondary School Leavers' while 'Burying the Fate of our Young Graduates'. This 70-30 Admisson Ratio is paining so much because I happen to graduate from one of the Federal Universities outside Imo State. I can still remember how I was made to pass through the 'eye of a needle' throughout the course of my study. The admission ratio was more than 60% for the State where this institution is situated, 30% for its neighbouring States and 10% for Catchment Area. This is notwithstanding that the institution is a FEDERAL UNIVERSITY. Some people had to change their names from Igbo and Christian to that of other Tribes and Religion to be able to gain admission into these Institutions.

Don't know how many of us have taken time to study JAMB Brochure to note that Students of Imo Origin have the least advantage on Catchment Area in Federal Institutions of Higher Learning. And it takes only divine intervention called Miracle to gain admission into the State Institutions of most other states of Nigeria. Yeah, someone will say that those states are doing the wrong thing but they're securing the Future of their Youths by making the admission of their Indigenes the Priority. Soon, they'll graduate and occupy the very few employment positions in our Federal Ministries, Departments and Agencies while thier Imo counterparts are still rewriting JAMB to be able to gain admission in their own State University built and funded by the Taxes paid by their parents and commonwealth of Imolites.

Umunnem na Umunnam, Ihe ariikwa Nma!!!
