PDP Screening Panel Told Prof. Bart Nnaji To 'Take A Bow And Go'



The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) panel screening aspirants who want to contest for the gubernatorial ticket in Enugu State this afternoon cleared former Power Minister, Prof Bart Nnaji.

The seven-member panel headed by the Honorable Eric Acho Nwakanma, a former Member of the House of Representatives from Abia State, merely asked Professor Nnaji to take a bow and “go in recognition of your immense contributions to national development over the years”.

Nwakanma said, “People like you are needed in the public to move this country forward”.

The other panel members, including James Ugwu, the panel’s secretary from Enugu State who is also the PDP South East Zonal Secretary, noted in agreement, smiling.

Nnaji, who came with a large volume of documents in expectation of a tough interview, was himself surprised at the honour.

Signs that the panel has high regard for the former minister were noticed when he was invited to meet the panel before other aspirants who came for screening.

Though the screening panel did not list specific contributions to national growth which Nnaji made, the erstwhile Minister of Power under President Goodluck Jonathan for only one year starting in 2011, is widely praised for revolutionizing the performance of the troublesome power sector.

IF YOU DESIRE TO RAISE CHILDREN WHO WILL GIVE YOU REST OF MIND ALL THROUGH YOUR LIFETIME, READ THIS WRITE UP!

Yesterday, we attended an event that changed my perspective on raising kids completely in US. I will try to summarize the key points as it will be helpful to all. The speaker was Dr. Leonard Sax. Even though it was at the Centre it was not related to any religion. The speaker is a Jewish Psychologist and author of a famous book called Collapse of Parenting. He had a lot of statistical information and tips to raise kids in America. Even though it was more focused on American Kids, it applies to bringing up Kids in the Age of Internet and Social Media, the evils of which have spread like an epidemic in the whole world. I can tell you that this was probably the best 3 hour workshop we attended. Even though a big segment was dedicated to social media, it was primarily about raising kids who will go on to have strong character and virtue. I have summarized the points below.

1) Statistically, the biggest indicator of success by age 32, is having self-control at age 12.
Success is determined by a lot of factors namely no drugs, no criminal violation, having a stable job, good citizenship, etc.

2) Make your kids speak their native language at home and with you. Reduce generation gap by involving their grandparents in their lives. If possible, try to convince their grandparents to move in with you.

3) Make them feel proud of their heritage. Kids nowadays are ashamed to speak their language or wear their cultural attire. In a quest to fit in and assimilate they want to no longer associate with their roots.

4) Have a friend circle with folks whose kids also are able to communicate in the same mother tongue. This way the kids can speak the language among themselves.

5) Do not give them smart phones until you know they are responsible. Buy them a dumb phone if required. This phone will fulfill the needs.

6) He went on to compare American society of the 50s to now. The family unit used to be the focus of ads and movies. How media has changed. At that time shows that depict parents as role models having strong moral characters were popular. Now shows like Simpsons, etc., that show Parents as dumb are popular. Make sure you keep track of things your kids watch. The more they watch shows like this the more they will loose respect for you as a parent.

7) Keep them away from games that promote violence and vice. He talked about Fortnite and Grand Theft Auto. Grand Theft Auto, in particular, rewards a person for doing all the wrong stuff like stealing cars and killing people. What kind of character is that going to build. He talked about how violence in games is directly related to gun violence in America with statistical examples.

😎 No TV or computers in the bedroom. Kids cannot be in the bedroom with screen whether it's school work or something else. Make family room a place where screen time is allowed. Follow the example yourself as well. Bedroom should be a place to go to sleep not to socialize with the outside world.

9) Keep kids away from Instagram, Snapchat and Facebook, if possible, as long as possible. Put monitoring software on their devices so that every single picture they take or Share, you get notified. Take their phones away at 9 in the night and give it back to them in the morning. Tell them that this is a condition going forward if they would like to keep their phones.

1 Be a peer to them but not a friend. If you become too friendly with the kids, they will start taking you for granted. Speak to them from a place of authority where No means No. When you take away the privileges from kids for their bad actions, they are going to resist. Be firm, remember you are the Parent.

11) Girls, according to statistics, are greatly influenced by Instagram and Snapchat. Girls, by nature, will always post the good thing happening in their lives. This will create a false illusion among other girls and lead them to think that their life is a mess and make them go into depression. Boys are more influenced by video games. Limit screen time to 20 minutes a day during the week and 1 hour on weekends. But the condition is they complete all their school work. If they do not listen take away their devices.

12) Raise kids with humility. A very important characteristic. This can be inculcated by making them do chores at home even though you can afford maids. He said that the typical thing that parents say is my son/daughter is already so busy I cannot burden him or her. This is a very wrong approach and will make your kids grow up with a feeling of entitlement and selfishness.

13) The biggest detrimental effect of increased screen time or social media is the displacement effect. Which means that the time they are spending on games is the time they are not spending on something useful.

14) Know what kind of music they listen to. The music of these times are ripe with sexual innuendos. Make sure they do not m

The contest for the successor to the seat of Governor of Enugu State has become more intense since the release of election guidelines by political parties especially PDP, with the picture getting clearer as to who will be the most electable candidate of all the aspirants in PDP and other parties.

It is from this angle that l wish to dispassionately interrogate the chances of the various aspirants in PDP and the likelihood of their electoral chances in the general election as well as to be a better Governor if elected, given their antecedents and pedigrees.

The discussion cannot be comprehensively discussed without consideration of the demand for zoning by the various Senatorial zones in the State and the further call for micro zoning of the position within each Zone.

The Enugu East and Enugu West Zones have continued to seriously agitate for the zoning with each advancing reasons why her zone has to be favored.
One reason accepted by all the Zones to demand for the slot is the need to promote political equity, fairness and justice.
This demand for justice is also the basis for further demand for micro zoning of the position.

To that end, there are two clear and distinct cultural blocks that are agitating for the slots on basis of the level of injustice they face, one each from the two Senatorial Zones. They are the Awgu micro zone in Enugu West, the Nkanu East micro zone in Enugu East Senatorial Zone.

The Awgu zone which include Aninri Local Government has produced Senator for four consecutive terms while the Nkanu East has never produced Senator for a term. Accordingly, the scale of justice weigh highly in the favour of Nkanu East on basis of Marginalization.

But incidentally, other factors are critical for the choice of the successor from PDP which will impact on the general electoral victory and the favored zone and PDP must take that into account in the choice of their flag bearer.
Some of the other factors are leadership focus, coordination and preparedness to take on a state wide contest, candidacy and general mobilization potentials of the candidate outside just the party members.

Those factors cannot be accessed without taking into account the front line Aspirants from the two zones. Unarguably Prof Bart Nnaji from Nkanu East micro zone and Senator Ike Ekweremmadu from the Awgu micro zone.

First on lesdership focus, Prof. Bart Nnaji has clearly identified job creation as his main focus which he insists will address the multifaceted challenge of improved welfare, and reduce crime in our society thereby improving on security which are the primary responsibility of any government.

This showed leadership focus devoid of the chalatanistic promises of regular politicians who often promises so much and only end up blaming the people for being the reason why they loot their patrimony.

Such clarity lacks from the other candidates. It is still the verbage of the regular politicians that enables them escape and deny their manifestoes after election.

Secondly, Prof. Bart Nnaji campaign programm is well coordinated by taking its bearing from the people. It is a bottom to top agenda. People voluntarily driven program. The Enugu people has owned his aspiration as their aspiration for a better future and a more prosperous Enugu.

Thirdly, the committment of the grass root to drive the Prof Bart Nnaji 2023 Election Agenda has made his declaration spread as an inferno igniting hope in the heart of the grassroot of Enugu State and beyond upon his acceptance of appeal to join the race. This has made voter mobilization a more seamless exercise and obviously to the victory of any party he fly their flag.

On the other hand is the general acceptability of his candidacy and unshaken trust people have in him as a person whose promise can be taken to the bank and it will be honored.
So Nkanu East with him as an aspirant undoubtedly have edge over the Awgu zones by reason of his outstanding credentials.

This is why the Enugu CITIZENRY, mostly non political actors who are interested in supporting the current Governor to make history did purchased PDP Nomination Form for him to assist the Governor in finding a befitting successor and bequeath an enduring and endearing legacy.

Honestly his candidature will obviously outclass that of any other candidature including the impressive credentials of Senator Ike Ekwerammadu who unfortunately has just a one line track record of political appointments and prodded election victories.

“Achievements” propped up not on personal achievement as against the global multi faceted track record achievement of Prof Nnaji which is based on personal initiative and innovation that has attracted global honor to not just Ndi lgbo but Nigeria and Blackman at large.

He is renowned for his skill to innovate and use technology to proffer solution to modern governance challenges. That is why the people across party lines has been clamouring for his candidature which clamour PDP cannot ignore without harming her electoral chances to produce the next Governor of Enugu State.
The leaders of Enugu have also endorsed him against all other aspirants from Nkanu East in interest of equity, fairness and justice for Governor of Enugu State 2023.

Nevertheless, it is possible that a few selfish politicians may be supporting another aspirant from Enugu East out of personal interest and against scale of justice, the very basis on which Enugu East is relying on for her demand for zoning to Enugu East against Enugu West Zone. But Enugu people are wiser than such individuals.

That is why they chose on their own to demand for Prof Nnaji who has capacity for better political leadership, focus, coordination and State wide mobilization capability and acceptability to drive a Gubernatorial contest to victory through basically any party given the peoples’ appetite for a continued progressive government and desire to key into the Soludo mantra political whirlwind in Igboland.
This opportunity is a golden chance for Enugu State given the well intentioned desire of the Governor to do justice to the Nkanu East block and sustain Gubernatorial Zoning arrangements in Enugu State.

The block voting strength of the Nkanu no doubt is also a factor in favour of the Prof Bart Nnaji candidature in general election.
Such “Union votes” have in the past been responsible for the success of Jim and Chimaroke and Ken Nnamani in Nkanu politics. The voters are also now poised to vote for one of their best who has the title of Onwa Nkanu.
The Prof’s ticket is also expected to receive reciprocal support from the former Governors and the other key Stakeholders like Ken Nnamani all of whom he has mobilized his people to support their elections in the past as well as all the past political elected and current serving officers.

There is also a new thinking that Nkanu East micro Zoning mantra will amount to a farce if it is without equity within the Local government.
To them, their paramater for alliance is cultural block-based and they insist that all indices are in favour of Prof Bart Nnaji given his local pedigree and global achievement and his unrivalled capacity to deliver on such job.

So the fight for PDP ticket is likely to be a straight fight between Prof. Bart Nnaji of Enugu East Senatorial Zone and Senator Ike Ekweremmadu of Enugu West Senatorial zone.

The best from the two contending zones were lke to push his ambition to the primary. Were it to be the case, once again on candidate to candidate credential comparison, the candidature of Prof. Bart Nnaji towers above the Distinguished Senator Ike Ekwerammadu candidature.
Besides, while Prof Nnaji enjoys the Nkanu block votes, the Enugu West Zones is highly divided against the Ekweremmadu candidature. Most argue that his ambition is merely self serving and lacks any altruistic flavour at all.

Another factor going for Prof Nnaji is the integrity test. He has no issue of distracting security invitations.

Prof. Bart Nnaji, transparency, purposefulness, national patriotism and humility are hallmark of his character. To him Integrity is a commodity.

Those factors are the sterling qualities that stands out Prof Bart Nnaji besides the fact that Enugu North Senatorial Zones leaders will prefer to support a tested hand and an achiever who is like one of their own by reason of his previous political alliance to the zone in the past and as a beneficiary of their political support under H. E Okwezilieze GOVERNORSHIP.

Also his non membership of any violent prone organization nor known to have promoted violence as a means of governance and high level of civility and disposition to respect institutions and his good standing among non Governmental Organization including religious bodies as well as his global recognition is a guarantee that the Enugu people will not be intimidated with power as was once part of the dark history of Enugu State.
There will remain in place freedom of speech and Press and respect to rule of law and fundamental human rights.

The Party delegates are enjoined to join with their votes to let the Enugu Dream become a reality during their life time and through their patrotic generational game changing votes.

According to Adolf Hitler in his book ” Mein karf”, “WHAT LUCK THE RULER HAS BECAUSE THE PEOPLE DO NOT THINK”.

The PDP has to join the Governor to sustain the peace, freedom and steady progress the loving People of Enugu State is enjoying under the present Governor by ensuring that Bart Nnaji becomes the governor of Enugu state come 2023.

New WhatsApp Feature

The reason why we use sms to get our messages delivered is because of its high delivery rate; and also because recipients don't need to have a smart phone to get your message.

However, due to the NCC policy introduced in 2016, sms delivery rates have dropped drastically as some numbers were automatically added into the DND pool.

Well, Whatsapp is here and new studies show that:
- Over 2billion people use WhatsApp
- Over 100billion messages are sent everyday
- The average time spent on Whatsapp is 38minutes

This data simply means that more and more people now use smart phones and WhatsApp as their primary mode of communication.

So with this data, shouldn't you also be reaching out to your recipients via WhatsApp?

As opposed to sms, WhatsApp gives you more space to write your message.
Your message can come as Text, Images or Video; these are things you obviously can't do via sms.

It is with this data that we have created a WhatsApp Bulk Sender portal to enable you send out messages to your recipients easily.
Sending Whatsapp broadcast messages via your phone limits you to batches of 256 contacts, but our portal allows you to do much more.

Here are other things you can do with our portal:
1. Ability to create Autoresponders
2. Ability to create Chatbots. Chatbots work like a step by step guide that lead your recipients to take specific actions.
3. An anti-block feature that will keep your number safe from being banned
4. Ability to manage lots of WhatsApp numbers from one account
5. Ability to schedule messages to be sent at a later date whether you are online or not. This is perfect for sending reminders and important notifications you don't want to forget.

... and a whole lot more features are in the works.

Are we saying you should stop using sms to send your messages? No!

Instead, use Whatsapp messaging to compliment the use of sms. If you send messages to numbers on DND, they won't receive them; but if you also send the message via Whatsapp, they will receive it if they use a smartphone and have Whatsapp installed.

If you want to see our Chatbot at work, click this link - https://wa.link/1ulrz1, send the pre-programmed message and follow the directions presented to you.

Best regards!

IS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE INEVITABLE?

There are about 3,800 genetic and biological differences between the average male and the average female. These distinctions make a deliberate attempt to understand your spouse all the more important.
This becomes even moreso when you consider that beyond these genetic and biological factors most couples before they get together come from different backgrounds with different orientations, different cultures, and many other different proclivities. When you consider this is becomes easy to realise how quickly the average marriage can become a potpourri of disagreement or even conflicts if not properly managed.

Yet, the first and most important institution God created is marriage/family, and it was designed to completely transform those that participate in it.

About 3 years ago a very wise and elderly minister of the gospel told my wife and I something I will never forget. He said, "the moment you get married you lose the right to view anything from only one perspective."
My understanding of what he told us is there are certain things only I can see as a man, and there are certain things only my wife can see as a woman, and when we put these 2 perspectives together we see and go much further than we could ever have on our own.

In a marriage between a man and a woman (this is what marriage is) there will be different perspectives and these are designed to be an advantage and not a disadvantage. No one party is correct. Like someone once said, "there are 3 sides to a marital disagreement- the husband's side, the wife's side, and the right side."

So what the husband and wife must invest most in is communication, constant communication. This is the way you iron out grey areas and grasp the perspective you lack.

It is the lazy and foolish way out for you to cuss out your husband and use verbal and emotional abuse to try to whip him in line; and yes, this is also domestic abuse.
It is the lazy, irresponsible, and stupid way out for you to lay hands on your wife, a woman the parents gave you to nurture and take care of. If you beat your wife you are not a man. There is nothing manly about it.

If you are a man and you beat your wife up and then feel you have accomplished something because your ego gets inflated then you are a mental case.
It is men like you that fight in boxing rings as professional boxers and get paid in millions of dollars, but you would rather throw punches at a defenceless woman, punches that have no commercial value.

Then there are women who attack men. If you are a woman that snaps at your husband and attacks him physically then you are unhinged mentally even though you do not know. You actually deserve a thorough beating but I would appeal to your husband to not descend to your level of stupidity.
I would appeal to him to do what someone I heard about did in a situation like that.
They were having a disagreement when all of a sudden his wife gave him 2 dirty slaps.
The man said nothing after that, he just gently composed himself walked into their room, and helped her arrange all her things.
He packed her suitcases into the car and very gently opened the car door for her and ushered her like the queen she was (marine Queen) into the car and gently drove her back to her father's house.
She was the one that sent emissaries begging after she decided she would be a submissive wife.

Every problem can be sorted out with maturity, understanding, and dialogue. There is no reason whatsoever for domestic violence or abuse of any sort.
