WHO IS MARGINALIZING WHO?

  

The struggle of who gets what in Onitsha, Nigeria’s commercial nerve centre has again become the lead discussion in Anambra State.

This fight is always divided along two parallel groups; the indigenes and non-indigenes (popularly referred to as Ndi Onitsha and Ndi Igbo) and usually gets hotter in election seasons.

As the 2015 Elections draw nearer, the apex social-political group in Onitsha, De Great Onicha Ado Patriots (De GOAP) has declared and I quote;

NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH

Since he could not be appointed an unofficial attack dog of the Obiano government, Daniel Elombah and his team have descended on the government of Anambra State. There is nothing they have not alleged against the government. What Elombah, the disgruntled and shyster lawyer whose rent in London is paid by a hooker is what he has not thought of. He is emboldened by support from a disgruntled ex-governor of the state who believes that if Willie Obiano is allowed a free reign he will be consigned to the dust bin.

Elombah.com – How not to Practice Citizen Journalism

The world may not be willing to admit it but one of the greatest phenomena of the 21st Century might be the advent of the social media – the mushrooming of cyber-communities across geographies and the usual boundaries of culture, religion, class and ideologies. With the social media, humanity has finally come face to face with the awesome power of the individual, the canonization, as it were, of selfhood and the possibility of a determined citizen to impose his ideas on a larger group with something as harmless as cellphone.

South Arican Wayo - MTN Blackmailing Anambra State

 

It is no longer news that most of the major GSM providers have been getting huge chunk of revenues from the Anambra axis, specifically Onitsha and environs. But recently one of the major operators went to town shouting for anyone to hear that the Anambra State Government is closing down their operations by shutting down its telecom masts.

And who is Uche Ekwunife?

I am surprised at the anger and concern being expressed in many quarters on the beach party kind of politics being played by Uche Ekwunife who is supposed to be representing Njikoka, Anaocha and Dunukofia federal constituency in the House of Representatives. What else were people expecting? You do not pick up aluminum and expect it to become gold simply... because you have painted it yellow. It was a blunder on the part of APGA to have given Mrs Ekwunife its ticket in 2011 to go to the House of Representatives. Sober – minded watchers of Anambra’s politics had raised the red flag at the time warning that this was tantamount to appointing your enemy the guard of your house. APGA leaders who ought to know better allowed themselves to be taken in by Uche’s disarming smiles. Today, the reality has hit home hard.
