This is Building Materials International Market, Ogidi.
Do we blame government too? Behind this market is a huge gutter for run off of water from Old Enugu Road, they cut it off, built market expecting the water to disappear and enter River Niger. Ndị ala na apụ.
This is just the beginning.
Even if Peter Obi gets rigged out in the next election come 2027, it’s ok with me because he won because Nigerian youths are awake to the ills of the politics of Nigeria.
So the fight has just begun and it can only get better from here.
"Officer, who are you? Why are you carrying thugs?"
Moment a man confrønted Nigerian police officers at the ongoing Enugu North by-election in Enugu State, accusing them of transporting thûgs.
@bolazeal@Kene_Nnewi lol, I know it’s only a logical person that’ll ask this question, because no one was forced to attend his church.. crazy stuff still
My father, Comrade ABC Ubani JP took pictures with several governors of Anambra State including the present governor of the State, but in our family sitting room we only have enlarged pictures he took with Peter Obi, while he served as the governor of Anambra State.
I once asked him, what Peter Obi has done for him that made him practically decorate our sitting room with his pictures.
He first said, that I should snap a picture with a governor first beyond asking him that question.
He went further to say, that before Obi became governor, they (Anambra civil servants) saw hell with respect to worker's welfare, payment of pensions and gratuities. Both my parents were state civil servants, now pensioners.
My father has been a Labour union leader since 1994, so he understood the government-workers faceoff, before Peter Obi practically made life easier for workers in the state.
When he, my father who is now 74 years old retired to the village a few years ago, his portraits with Peter Obi was one of the things he took with him. He moved them from our family house in Awka to our family house in Enugwu-Ukwu, where he is now spending his last days while still serving as the State Secretary of the Nigerian Union of Pensioners, Anambra State, which makes him the longest serving union leader in Anambra state today.
The Comrade as I call him is a prolific writer who wrote so many bulletins against former State govenors of Anambra. When I was much younger he was arrested a few times for some of his controversial releases against governors of the State. I remember my mother, Mrs Rose Ubani searching for days to find where he and his colleagues were being held.
When Peter Obi was first removed from office, which should be around 2007 or 2008, I was about 16 years old. But I remember like it was yesterday my mother calling for us to fast and pray as a family for him to be reinstated, and we did fast - our welfare as a family dependend on that. Graciously, Obi made a comeback. Two comebacks, to the glory of God.
Therefore when you see me defending Peter Obi on this space, it is not for nothing. It is a burden I must discharge in appreciating a man who made the difference in the governance of Anambra State.
No Peter Obi slander will see the light of the day, once I'm here, and I will be here for a very long time!
When I criticise the current governor of Anambra state, is not out of hate, but for the love of Anambra. I criticised his predecessor and I know what it cost me. I do not mind paying a costlier price today.
My loyalty is not to any governor, but to my State, Anambra.
My name is Kingsley Ubani , and I'm just getting started.
