DeleteAnonymous 10:31 pls when u see good things commend them...plus this are the few people the writer probably remembered,abi are u paying him to take list of all successful people in Ebonyi state..am even surprised those people he mentioned are from ebonyi...Where ever we come from we shld talk abt our contribution to the betterment of the place rather being a boastful fool who contributes nothing from where he comes from but yet has the biggest mouth

ReplyDeleteI greet all of us, pls great men Are every where, it's can come from any where, let's appreciate Nkama, and remember Africa not Ebonyi, Nigeria is not good enough to allow people who are serious to rule,
ReplyDeleteNow igbos from other parts of south east can join the celebration rightly so particularly under Biafra umbrella. But the injustice meted out to the people of Ebonyi will not be forgotten so easily.They were simply marginalised and relegated to the background.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm. So called biafrans fighting themselves for supremacy here. Lol. I'm sure this man didn't school in Enugu state alone. Anyway, congrats to a great Nigerian that's making us proud
