COMPARE & CONTRAST. GUCCI MADE OR ABA MADE? WHO WORE IT BEST? 1ST LADY OR UNKNOWN DUDE?

First Lady vs. Normal Dude 

Wonders shall never end, never ever. As long as we are alive and have the breath of life in us, we would continue to see and observe things that would make us laugh and wonder. This article with the regular dude in his specially made Gucci mask 🎭 is one of such wonders.

So madam 1st lady, Mrs Ebelechukwu Obiano dazzled all comers recently with her 1M plus Naira ($2755) Gucci limited edition eye mask with crystals just today, which caused loads of uproar or better still reactions.

Now an ordinary (regular guy) citizen too has shown madam, that cannot be the only one getting all the attention whilst wearing the Gucci mask, as he was seen wearing the exact same Gucci, but his own is a "Made in Nigeria version" of the same mask with delightsome panache and swag.

So we have thought to ask you all, that who wore it best?

Madam or dude?

At least Gucci na Gucci now, either from Italy or ABA!!! 

GOVERNOR WILLIE OBIANO AND ELEGANT WIFE EBELECHUKWU OBIANO DAZZLES IN AMERICA AS THEY WENT ON SHOPPING SPREE!

Long before the Governor of Anambra state got to power, he was already a very big boy like some always love to say, meaning he was already well to do and could easily afford many of all the good things of life.

Just imagine that the man who began his career at First Bank and later went to Chevron, became a Chief Internal Auditor before he left, that's no small feat for anyone. He later went on to Fidelity Bank unarguably one of Nigeria’s top banks, where former Governor Peter Obi at a time was said to be like the single highest shareholder, where he rose to become an Executive Director before retiring and later becoming a Governor.

We could imagine him looking back, that when he and madam would go do some shopping then, they like all Africans loves to do, would do so with much aplomb, doing retail therapy like their very lives depended on it. Like they might never have the opportunity ever again, so whatever they could buy at any point, they would literally gorge themselves on. So maybe that kind of scenario was recently repeated when his excellency, Governor of Anambra, Sir Willie Obiano visited the United States of America. Not minding that he and madam were Governor and first lady, they were like any other ordinary Nigerians as they went shopping crazy at the Galleria on Westheimer in Houston Texas and at the end you can imagine them carrying about 15 plus assorted shopping bags of different sizes of the many top labels they had purchased. And that's just on one trip!

The Galleria on Westheimer where they had come to, is the 7th largest in the US and the biggest in Texas. It houses 375 stores, but 4 of the most prominent are Macy's, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom. You can imagine that they caught a few eyes as they moved about. And that was actually what got our attention. When we Nigerian rich peeps wants to do anything, we love to do it with the ultimate swagger, which shows to all that are around us, that we are not ordinary, no minions and that we are people of means that must be accorded the desired accolades. Most often we desire and literally ask for respect and recognition by our very actions, we do not know or have in our vocabulary understated or incognito.

Whilst the Executive Governor deliberately worked a few steps ahead from his other 3 companions which included his wife, like he was on his own, he was carrying about 4 Louis Vuitton shopping bags, 2 each on each side. Madam on the other hand was with the 2 men and they carried all the other shopping bags of various sizes of different brands. The executive Governor of probably the richest South Eastern state, had on, his signature cap or hat, by which many know or have come to identify him.

A little retail therapy like it is said, hurts no one. It might even be a way to relax and think up the next upcoming big idea that would bowl any and all over in Anambra. For a Governor who we hear loves to relax a whole lot, especially with a "drink or 2", shopping at such a humonguous shopping mall with madam who we hear does not suffer fools gladly and 2 others, who maybe are aides or even family members, might mean a massive shopping mall that could be the biggest in the East may be on its way or in the pipeline.

Kudos your excellencies, for showing that we Nigerians and by extension Africans don't lag behind but are as big as any big boys or girls are at anytime. Salute!

ANAMBRA GUBERNATORIAL ELECTION 2017 & THE WINNER IS .... WILLIE OBIANO!!!!

Chief Willie Obiano

Dr Goodluck Jonathan & his PDP henchmen

Fayose, Okowa etc 

Baring any last minute magic show, the incumbent Governor of the state of Anambra, is coasting home to an emphatic and quite impressive victory.

Though the opponents arrayed against him were supposedly heavyweights, with the way things are going, it's like they were more of paperweights than the heavyweights people had thought they were, as their perceived influence apparently carried no weight at the end of it. Even with the calculations and permutations done to wrest power from Chief Willie Obiano, even with all the hell raised by his former friend and political ally in the person of former Governor, Mr Peter Obi, it is like the people seem to prefer the tested hand to a new one, it's likely saying the devil we know rather than the saint we don't!

The PDP particularly had raised so much dust, claiming the Governor never really did anything that warranted him needing a 2nd term, they had raised so much hoopla that at a point many felt that they had a chance to tip the apple cart and cause a major upset, infact with their final campaign just a day to the election, where former President of Nigeria, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan GCFR, Governor Peter Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti, Governor Iyesom Wike of Rivers, Governor Arthur Okowa Ifeanyi of Delta, former Governor Otunba Gbenga Daniel and many other bigwigs were present and had spoken against the incumbent and his party, the APGA one would have thought there was some major, very potent magic they were going to perform, but alas, there visit was inconsequential in every way, as the voters were apparently not convinced by them and at the end of the day, they the voters, voted their conscience- Willie Obiano!

The battle for 2nd position is a straight forward one between APC's Dr. Tony Nwoye and PDP's Oseloka Henry Obaze. UPP's own Osita Chidoka would most definitely come in a very distant 4th, all the other candidates from the other parties needed not to have contested at all in the first place, reason being that it's like it was just their friends and family members and few associates that voted for them and it was just a waste of resources. Maybe their calculation is that they would get relevance by contesting, we would see after all the dust has finally settled down if they have. 

We just hope that once Chief Willie Obiano is officially declared as the winner, which might be via a landslide victory that he had confidently predicted before the election began he would get, that he would be magnanimous in victory. And that he would close ranks with all his opponents (those willing to work with him though) so that at the end of it all, it would be Anambra that is the ultimate winner. Though a bit of gloating is allowed, it shouldn't be the type that would be to the detriment of the state. It's good that at least Obiano has finally dealt with the nuisance factor of Peter Obi and has somewhat shown him, that without him he can win an election quite easily.

Now that the people have openly showed to the world their confidence in OBIANO, what he should also do to thank them for the confidence reposed on him is to work, work and work, doing things that would greatly advance the quality of lives of Ndi Anambra.

So it's another 4 years of the Obiano magic, let's wait and see what the man would do for this 2nd term.

Imagine that the curious thing this election has brought to fore, is that the IPOB who had greatly over estimated themselves, couldn't disrupt the election, which they had ask the citizens to boycott. Now it's very obvious that they had given themselves credit that they didn't actually deserve.

The Nigerian Police and other security arms must be greatly commended for ensuring that a peaceful election took place, with next to no trouble recorded. Also INEC must also be commended for conducting what many have tagged a Free and Fair, rancour free election. Hope we can always expect this?

But the biggest commendation should be for the people, who we see as the real heroes, who despite the unwholesome intimidation from all sides, especially from an IPOB that had threatened death for daring to vote, they still went out and performed their civic duties and picked for themselves their own choice in returning the Governor. Kudos!

Any person or group of persons or entity that can afford to threaten her own people with death, just to get their support is not worth listening to at all. Those kind of people are the type that would turn out to be tyrants if given the chance. Everything in life is by choice, it must not be by force or intimidation.

Congratulations in advance sir. The people are expecting so much from you, one just hope that you wouldn't disappoint them. 

ANAMBRA NOVEMBER 18 2017 BECKONS. WHO WOULD CARRY THE DAY EVENTUALLY?

Just 3 more days to this election, which would be a litmus test for Nigeria, INEC, Police.

All the contestants are evenly matched so it seems, though the incumbent has a slight advantage in that he has shown already what he could do, so he can be accessed based on that, but that's not all, he can also use the paraphernalia of office to push things his way, but would that work here? We don't know for sure.

It's a straight battle pitting Obiano vs Obaze vs Chidoka vs Nwoye, that is APGA vs PDP vs UPP vs APC! Some are already predicting a straight battle between OBIANO of APGA and OBAZE of PDP. The reason for Obaze they think is because of the Peter Obi factor; the Ex-Governor who has a marvelous record of achievements whilst he was Governor, is hell bent on removing his own prodigy, who years back he fought tooth and nail to install, but since both men fell out, they have become sworn enemies ready to totally dismantle and eviscerate each other. Also the somewhat newly resurrected PDP which was on the brink of extinction before, are bent on making a statement with this election, as they want to be able to boast and claim that they are back and again are the party to beat and follow!

What are the chances of Dr. Nwoye of APC? The grassroots mobiliser might find it a bit hard so they say and the reason people are hammering on is that, people don't want to replicate Owelle Rochas Okorocha in Anambra State! But even at that, the Federal factor, which is the need to be in the main stream of things, just like Lagos now is, might just work wonders for him, apart from the federal factor though, Nwoye is an avowed, award winning grassroots, youth mobiliser par excellence and if he could work his magic right, he might just spring a major surprise.

On Sir Osita Chidoka, the former Minister and former boss of the FRSC, in recent times not very much has been heard about him, he seem to have gone deep, maybe not necessarily making too much noise, but doing what should be done underground. If preparation and articulation of ideas alone could just win an election, the former top PDP stalwart could have just walked leisurely in to the Awka Government house, but alas it's far much more than that.

To make sure all goes well on the D-Day, especially to forestall any hanky-panky from IPOB and other elements bent on forming troubles, 26000 personel, 300 vehicles, 15 gunboats and 3 Helicopters have been mobilised to make security water tight. 3 Commissioners of Police, new to that terrain would also be on ground, in charge of each of the Senatorial zones to stifle any form of trouble of any kind. The incumbent Commissioner for Police in Anambra State, Garba Umar was withdrawn, while the ADC to the Governor and all other police personnel attached to private and public individuals were recalled to forestall their use for any hanky-panky by those they work for who they would have most definitely favoured above others. All of this actions were taken to enable a level playing field (ground) for all.

So who would carry the day? OBIANO? OBAZE? NWOYE? CHIDOKA? 

OSODIEME OBIANO DOING THE AYO FAYOSE STYLE- WHEN TAKING ELECTIONEERING TO THE ABSURD!

Her Excellency, Madam Osodieme Ebele Obiano, the 1st lady of Anambra State is surely a good wife, why have we said that?

If we are to judge strictly on the basis of her wanting to help her husband the "Executive Governor of Anambra Chief Willie OBIANO" to retain his mandate to rule the good people of Anambra State for the 2nd time, then her "antics", (especially using the style of Peter Ayodele Fayose to hoodwink the people) at "electioneering campaign" then can be easily excused.

Imagine the Anambra State 1st lady deciding to ride around on an Okada (bike) looking grossly uncomfortable as a way to endear herself to the people and make them seemingly feel she's one of them!

If it was something she does often it would have been great, but to now embark on subterfuge for election reason to us is a gross mockery! Bad aspect of it was that the discomfort was etched on her face glaringly!

We particularly love her husband and wouldn't want them to take this thing now, to the mundane level. 

CASE OF DOUBLE JEOPARDY FOR IFEANYI UBAH HAS HE IS SUSPENDED BY PDP

Ifeanyi Ubah

Not only was he annihilated despite his humongous wealth and sagacity at the recent Governorship primary of the PDP in Anambra State, which was won by Oseloka Henry Obaze in an outstanding manner, the MD/CEO of Capital Oil and Gas Limited in the person of Ifeanyi Ubah, owner of the eponymous football club has also attracted a penalty for his unneccesary outburst of claims of irregularities.

Rising from their very recent sitting, the 'National Caretaker Committee of the PDP' has suspended forthwith in the interim, Chief Ubah for what they have termed "anti-party activities".

While the suspension is ongoing, he has also being referred to the disciplinary committee for further action also. The issue with Ifeanyi Ubah arose from the fact that he openly disparaged and casted aspersions on those who conducted the governorship primary, where he came a distant 3rd. He alleges irregularities and when he was queried for his outburst, he was said to have totally ignored the committee that reached out to him.

With this conduct of the newly revamped PDP, this might be a way of sending out a clear cut message to everyone, that the real change has come to the PDP, that matters are no more the usual way. 

UPDATE ON THE UPCOMING NOVEMBER 2017 ANAMBRA ELECTION- THE ANDY UBA FACTOR AND THE PDP SURPRISE PACKAGE- OSELOKA OBAZE

Now that the APC has backed Dr. Tony Nwoye has her candidate for the upcoming battle of the titans in Ndi Anambra come November 18, 2017 what would the moneybag known as Senator Andy Uba, who had taken not less than 40 senators to go pick up his form to participate at the primary then, in a power show to intimidate others now do?

It is obvious somewhat that the days of blatant money politics in the state (ANAMBRA) seems to have ended. For if it was money that should have decided who should be the flag bearer of the APC and even PDP in that state, none of the many candidates who vied to be chosen as the sole candidate of the APC & PDP could match have matched the likes of Senator Andy Uba, Oil and Gas mogul Ifeanyi Ubah and former Aviation Minister and SPG boss Stella Oduah.

But even with all of their capacities and capabilities, they were still totally annilated by those without their kind of staggering wealth, but who were loads more influential and rightly connected.

Dr. Tony Nwoye, who is  now the confirmed candidate of the APC, got 95% of the votes amongst the 12 that took part in the primary and left the remaining 5% to be shared by all the other candidates, which included Senator Andy Uba.

Dr. Nwoye, is a medical doctor by profession and a House of Representatives member and also a well respected politician, who is the youngest of the aspirants vying for the post of Executive Governor of Anambra State. At 43, he and Chief Osita Chidoka of UPP who is 46 are the young men, who wants to bring in a lot new energy into running the affairs of the South East's most urban state.

WHY WILLIE OBIANO IS LIKELY TO WIN A 2ND TERM! WHY HIS MOST FORMIDABLE OPPONENT IS JUST OSITA CHIDOKA! WHY ALL OTHERS ARE MERE PAPERWEIGHTS NO MATTER THEIR STATUS! PART 1

Willie Obiano

The upcoming November 18, 2017 Governorship election in Anambra would be very very interesting. The assertion majorly is because it would pitch a well known very hardworking, incumbent action Governor against some very formidable opponents likes of Osita Chidoka and a few others who haven't yet won their party primaries, who just mere looking at them alone and what they have at their disposals, are titans.

If one were to carefully look at some of those wanting to take over from the incumbent very carefully and deeply at the same time, not just on the surface, some very interesting things would pop up too.

That November 2017 election would be a fight for the very soul of Anambra State. Imagine the the caliber of those who have shown interest, likes of Senator Andy Uba, Capital oil boss Ifeanyi Ubah, former beleaguered Minister for Aviation, Stella Oduah and many others.

Former Governor Peter Obi, with his exemplary leadership style had created a fantastic foundation upon which the current Governor has built enviably on, which is what has majorly endeared him to his people.

Anambra, is most probably the headquarters of the Ibos and though probably the most cosmopolitan of the South Eastern states, with very many of the core wealthy ones amd very educated ones from there, no matter how you look at it, it is still a "civil service state". So to be able to win any election in the state therefore, you would most probably have had to impress the state' civil service who are the influencers in the state.

SENATOR ANDY UBA GETTING SET FOR ANAMBRA'S GUBERNATORIAL BATTLE

Senator Emmanuel Nnamdi Uba
"Andy Uba"

It would most definitely be a battle royale extraordinary when the Anambra State Governorship election would hold, as the caliber of those set to battle each other seem to be getting more awesome and more impressive by the day.

Just yesterday, another "incredible personality", in the person of Senator Andy Uba, of the APC formerly of the PDP/Labour Party went to pick up the form signifying his intention with about 40 senators from the APC and many women and youths in tow, so as to be the representative of the APC in the upcoming battle of the titans.

YUL EDOCHIE STAKES HIS CLAIM TOWARDS ANAMBRA GUBERNATORIAL RACE 2017

Yul Edochie

Willie OBIANO

Osita Chidoka

Handsome thespian son of renowned Nigeria thespian by name Pete EDOCHIE, by name Yul EDOCHIE has made his political intention and ambition known to the world.

Maybe as a way to confirm that truly "everyman is a political animal" one way or the other, it seems like the young man has legitimate hope of running the affairs of the richest state in the East- Anambra.

If Yul has his way, he would be involved in a 3 way battle with the incumbent, Chief Willie OBIANO of APGA, who is acknowledged as an action Governor per excellence and who many have glowingly reiterated that he deserves another 4 years term in charge, based on his antecedence. The executive Governor of Anambra State currently, would be clocking 62 on August 8, 2017.

On the other side is the former Corps General of the FRSC and former Minister under the Government of Dr. Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan GCFR, in the person of Chief Osita Chidoka of the UPP, but formerly of the PDP. Chief Chidoka is another action packed individual, with outstanding pedigree in public service. He is a relatively young man at 46, in fact he would be clocking 46 on July 17, 2017.

What would be Yul's reason for stepping forward? He believes there's the need for the old and senile kind off to give way to the new and fresh, like him. Yul Chibuike Daniel Edochie, clocked 35 in January of 2017. He is the last born of 6 kids of the veteran and award winning actor-father.

As per his political party of choice to prosecute this dream and ambition, no one knows yet. Maybe APC since their candidate has withdrawn in support of the incumbent. 

ANAMBRA STATE GEARS UP FOR THE BATTLE OF THE TITANS (PDP VS APC VS LABOUR VS APGA)

SENATOR ANDY UBA

SENATOR (DR) CHRIS NGIGE

IFEANYI UBAH

CHIEF WILLIE OBIANO

DR CHIKE OBIDIGBO

Anambra State, also known as ''the Light of the Nation'' where Governor Peter Obi reigns supreme as we speak as the action Governor, is gradually getting ready for what some have tagged- a battle royale. 

Now that Governor Peter Obi has successfully done 2 terms, meaning he cannot run again, the coast is now open for such heavyweight combatants the likes of the following-

Billionaire Senator and man of great influence- who tasted what it was like to be a Governor sometime back for just a few days, in the person of beleaguered Senator Emmanuel Nnamdi Uba, 54, but better known as Andy Uba who is currently the Senator representing Anambra South Federal constituency.  For now the powerful & highly connected Senator, is battling to be chosen as the candidate of his party the PDP. There had been a parallel congress at the PDP primary a while back, which had produced 2 candidiates from the party. While the PDP machinery supports the other candidiate, in the person of Comrade Tony Nwoye. INEC on the other hand seems to support the PDP faction that produced Andy Uba.
