If you live in certain area in Lagos that look very BEAUTIFUL when when it rains heavily with attendant flooding, you will appreciate the extent of responsibilities on Engr. Joe Igbokwe's shoulders and how much you should pray for him to succeed.

It is a sensitive job. It is tough task to undertake. He should get ready to be resisted, blackmailed and tribally abused by residents, who will be affected by the solutions he will offer. However, If he could succeed, he will write his name in gold in Lagos State history.

By the way, Joe Igbokwe is a true Nnewi son who is far more Igbo in quality and quantity than some of his critics.

Gaddafithe2nd:
This man just got one of the most difficult jobs in Lagos. This is time he must apply his Engineering skills.

Angelfrost:
Huge congrats to him... I wish him the best in this uncharted territory coupled with the huge spotlight... May he come good and excel.

lexy2014:


I thought he was made a special adviser?

lexy2014:


"Huge spotlight"?? Was he actually put in charge of d gutters& drainages of Lagos?

Angelfrost:


Not directly... But, the spotlight is due to the fact that he is an outsider... Most want him to fail woefully (both his tribesmen and core Lagosians who see him as an opportunist).

TempleHouse:
You criticising Joe Ignokwe are daft and ignorant to know that Tinubu is training an Igbo boy to be a Governor of Anambra State in 2023 like he did to Fashola and Aregbesola...

Gaddafithe2nd:

Yes, he is a special adviser to the governor on drainage and water resources.

lexy2014:


He isn't d first outsider 2b given political appointment in Lagos. Ben Akabueze, Aregbesola & Osinbajo come to mind. Y did d public not raise over d appointment of d guys I mentioned just like its happening 4 Joe igbokwe?

MusaChukwudi:


You dey mind them.........fools from that particular part of the country

Joe Igbokwe for Anambra Governor........!!!!

Immhotep LZAA

immhotep:

Have you obeyed Joe Igbokwe today?

MusaChukwudi:


He will be Tinubu boy governing Anambra in 2023.

Die if you cant take it!!

Lzaa immhotep

immhotep:

[b]Have you obeyed [/b]Joe Igbokwe today?

Have you obeyed Joe Igbokwe today?

Angelfrost:


If you are asking that, then you haven't been abreast with his staunch pro-APC stance even to the point of dissociating himself totally from his ethnic group...

Some actually believe his appointment was a deliberate act of mischief by Tinubu to further spite his Eastern kinsmen.

lexy2014:


Where is Ben Akabueze from?

Angelfrost:


Anambra state... Your point exactly?

Easy...we are getting there. Are u aware that Ben Akabueze was made a commissioner in Lagos state by Tinubu?

Facidio:

I have had an uncle who was a special adviser on political matters to a governor before bruv..... Dude didn't even get an office.....

Angelfrost:


Yes I am... He was a very successful banker and financial manager, and had a sterling career as budget manager for Lagos state.

lexy2014:


Good. So back to my initial question. Were there any issues raised by d public over d appointment of akabueze just like its happening 4 Joe igbokwe right now? Did any at d time "actually believe Akabuezes appointment was a deliberate act of mischief by Tinubu to further spite his Eastern kinsmen?"

hisexcellency34:
Which stupid huge and humongous ministry? Pls come and clear the drainage at Mushin today. If i dont see you by 12pm, i will report you to Sanwo-Olu and you may be fired very soon

Angelfrost:


Absolutely not... Joe Igbokwe's case is peculiar due in part to his political stance during GEJ's tenure. He has been alienating himself from his tribesmen since then...

Akabueze on the other hand was not outspoken, and more proprietary.

I mentioned Tinubu due to the prevailing political disharmony of the February elections.

lexy2014:



So it has nothing 2do with Tinubu, Yorubas or with what happened in February cos igbokwe isn't d first Igbo Tinubu has brought into LASG. Neither does it have anything to do with Igbos cos this isn't d first Igbo man who has served LASG. If igbokwe doesnt have a good public image in Lagos state, then he has himself to blame & not easterners or yorubas who u say dont like him. D position of special adviser for igbokwe is nothing special. Its just an office created 4 him for d purpose of chopping

eodavids:


Boss, you failed to note that Joe Igbokwe is not appointed to head a ministry, but to advice on drainage.

I also think that Joe supposes not to make his speech look like a ministry has been left in his care to run.
Last time I checked, Gov. Sanwo Olu appointed him advicer, not an executive in any guise.

Nonetheless, I still have full respect for Engnr. Chief Joe Igbokwe.
