BY CHIDI NKWOPARA, OWERRI.

Imo State Governor, Chief Ikedi Ohakim, has appealed to Nigerians to resist the temptation of injecting violence in the current electoral process.

Ohakim, who made the appeal when he fielded questions from journalists in Owerri, was however irked with the killing of some loyalists of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Nwangele local council area.

He was also disturbed by the alleged importation of arms and ammonition by a serving member of the State House of Assembly.

“What will a law maker be doing with AK 47 rifles, rocket launhers and all the deadly weapons traced to him? If these weapons were successfully impounded, Imo State would have been on fire”, Ohakim said.

In his considered opinion, “nobody is above the law and Imo people are desirous to see that all those linked with the damnable act are traced and prosecuted according to the laws of the nation”.

Answering another question, the Governor said that “we must not destroy Imo, the peaceful disposition of the people and the successes we have collectively achieved because somebody or a group of people want to be in power”

      ( ….I have been reading all the vuoiras statements. He (Alamieyeseigha) said he didn’t escape, if you belief in tradition there is what we call Egbe’, carrier or Ofe’, it could be either of those that brought him to Bayelsa, I don’t know about all these things….it would require the intervention of Babalawos…the Olorisas (traditional worshippers) the Hindus and Budhists to unravel the mystery….” On my part, I think, this dude (Alams) should be crowned the most foolish member of the black race. Whilst accused of crime-1, he commits crime-2, 3, 4, 5, 6, z, etc (in the face of the law and media) and in fact is in Naija illegaly. The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any. Government of Nigeria over to you.

    2b6Two beautiful thgnis like u can set a good world record and that is my task for you. Both of you are young, popular and maybe, have got the wealth. But marriage is different from acquisitions, endowments and personal effects. My advice for you (wife and husband) are: 1. Dont see your marriage from celebrity point of view. 2. Dont discuss your marriage with fellow celebrities, except on compliments. 3. Dont allow arrogance to either creep in or walk in and never argue to win but to reason. Bend down for each other. 4. Dont bring divorce or separation as the first option. Know that all eyes are on you from now henceforth. Marital bliss for you.
