Federal polytechnic Obo ni!

I guess it was their 'turn' to be 'slaves' in second place then.

Igbos have started again.

Was this the purpose of this thread? Tribal hate?

Yet you someday believe I will just vote for an Igbo man as president despite the hate you wilfully merchandise?

I've never seen a group so blinded by its own arrogance and conceit.

I'm trying to remember what the achievements of Ekwueme's vice presidency were.
Anybody cares to remind me?

Gone are those days when the "Ishiagu" attire was the beauty of Igbo fashion for men. I can't remember the last time I saw someone wearing it.

Noneroone:

Yeah, he's so relevant that he can't even influence the appointment of a commissioner in Anambra state not to talk of influencing who becomes the state governor.

Even the clueless VP GEJ ended up becoming the president and imposing a state governor in Bayelsa. You better let the old and bedridden Ekwueme enjoy his political retirement in peace and not drag him into unnecessary argument on NL.

Ekwueme still remains the most versatile, skilled, successful person to ever have be in the corridors of power in nigeria.
Ekwueme has degrees ranging from architecture, to regional planning to law and sociology, Ekwueme designed Abuja. ...citation provided below
Ekwueme designed most of the airports built in the 70 s.
Ekwueme was a billionaire before becoming VP and was away in UK doing academic thesis before being nominated for VP
Ekwueme has more than 5 degrees in different disciplines while the mere commissioner has only 2 or 3 in the same discipline
He designed Uli and ihiala airport during the war.

Stop comparing a technocrat with a mere commissioner.

Please enumerate what the mere commissioner has achieved and stop gallivanting
