Before the Nigeria independence, the Yorubas has been the greatest host of the Igbo tribes including their business empires and white collar hobs. Since I was born, I have never heard of any communal clash between this two great ethnic groups as their relationship keeps on soaring to greater height. Many of us with short historical knowledge, never knew that the independence we enjoy together as a nation was struggled and attained on a platter of The handshake across the Niger. How do I mean? The N.C.N.C that struggled and attained Nigeria's independence in 1960 was founded in 1944 by Late Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, Herbert Olayinka Badmus Macaulay, Akintola and Michael Okpara and Nwafor Orizu of blessed memories , It was a combination of both ethnic effort of Yorubas, Midwest of Chief Okotie Eboh, Micheal Okpara and Nnamdi Azikiwe that made our independence possible. As at 1957, Nigeria was due for independence and the West and East were fully prepared but what delayed the independence ...

The Local Organising Committee members of the "Handshake Across The Niger", an initiative of NZUKO UMUNNA (Ndi-Igbo Think-Tank) this afternoon paid a courtesy visit to the Executive Governor of Imo State, Owelle (Dr.) Anayo Rochas Okorocha. The team which was ably led by it's Chairman Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah reminded the Governor that the initiative was born in a bid to re-visit, explore, sustain and strengthen the bond between the Igbos and Yorubas as well as advance the mutual coexistence of the two tribes in today's Nigeria. In his remarks, Governor Okorocha appreciated the effort of the team which is geared towards strengthening the mutual relationship between the two tribes. He equally assured the Nzuko Ụmụnna total commitment to make sure that the event will end successfully. The event holds at the Base Event Center, Independence Layout, Enugu on 11th January, 2018 by 11am.

"Who is Ifeanyi Ubah?" Ifeanyi Ubah is a detribalized Pan-Nigerian who has fast translated into an institution. Having conceived and birthed the "Afa Igbo Efuna Political Initiative" to solve the most pressing issues which more often than not places Ndi Igbo in a political quagmire within the Nigerian political context can be safely described along the lines of selfless service to the Igbo race. Notwithstanding the resounding success of the "Afa Igbo Political Initiative", He has remained deeply committed towards actualizing his bigger vision for Ndi-Igbo. He is a chieftain of the APGA, a dapper statesman, a man full of ideas, an avid thinker and a visionary leader. In his bigger vision, He recalls the days of Sen. Bola Ahmed Tinubu of Lagos who perfected the political unification of the South West using the defunct Alliance for Democracy (AD) as veritable platform and has resolved to take the lead and unify South Eastern Nigeria under one political i...

Governor Willie Obiano visited the fortress (IFEANYI UBAH INTERNATIONAL STADIUM) on the 16th March 2016, he came to see for himself a world class Stadium that will stand the test of time and could hold international matches, that was the day and when Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah presented a prophecy to him in a Jersey with the Natural number 21 on it, he never saw it coming, until AFA_IGBO_EFUNA came and the concept gave ideas to the other LGAs to float with. On Nov 18th 2017  was  the very day we knew what the number 21 on the Jersey gift presented to the Governor by Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah signified. - It meant 21 LGAs represented, - 21 LGAs Landslide win for the Governor - and the Governors Longevity in government until 2021 when the next Election will hold. How Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah foresaw this none can fathom, but the prophet's prophecy came to pass.  "Matthew 21:21 Jesus answered them, "Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you d...

Today , the spirit of Ndi Igbo is awakened! On this day, six years ago, an era ended with the passing of our leader and the founding father of our great party, All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu (Ezegburugburu of Igboland). The glorious exit of this great Nationalist signalled the dawn of a new era for Ndi Igbo and Nigeria as a nation. Ojukwu's conviction, confidence, strength, character, wisdom and inspirational leadership availed the Igbos a strong identity within the scheme of affairs in our country, Nigeria. He became THE LEADER when we, as a people were in dire need of one; a thundering voice and a breath of life into the overwhelming recognition we enjoy today as Igbos. As we at AFA IGBO EFUNA commemorate the 6th year of The Great Ikemba's passing on to higher glory, nothing hurts more than the actuality that our hero is no longer here with us. However, on account of the fulfilled and noble life he lived, we join hands with Ndi Igbo...

From the bottom of my heart, I join all men and women of goodwill to celebrate and congratulate you on your victory at the just concluded Governorship elections. For me and members of my political family, your success is perhaps the biggest milestone we have achieved this year. Your victory at the just concluded polls is a demonstration of the people's trust and staunch belief in your passion and genuine commitment to a greater tomorrow for Anambra State. When my team and I answered your call for solidarity on the basis of the transformational plans you have for Anambra State and ensuring that the labour of our heroes past shall not be in vain, we conceptualized *#AfaIgboEfuna*  and ‎resolved to apply ourselves completely towards ensuring that the only surviving political identity of Ndi Igbo is repositioned to be a veritable tool of actualizing the dreams of our founding fathers including Dim Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu. As I join you in celebration, I urge you to remembe...

It is no more news, that prolific and tactical coach, Ladan Bosso, is now the gaffer in charge of FC Ifeanyi Ubah. FC Ifeanyi Ubah, As we all know, is one of the best privately runned football club in Nigeria. The brain child of football lover, Political maestro and business guru, Dr Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah. He is said to own the only club in the NPFL, playing in their own stadium. Ladan Bosso entrance into the Anambra Warriors team is a huge plus, this is coming after the erstwhile coach of the team, Yaw Preko, bowed in high heads, as he received a huge pay offer from his hometown/Country, Ghana. The top notch and gifted gaffer that was once the coach of the Nigeria Under 20 side, led the team to the world cup. As the new season commence, the ugly tales of the previous seasons will be put aside as the expertise of Ladan Bosso and the technical team will put things in place to help stir the team to victory. The stage is set and the coast clear for Ladan Bosso to build up ...

It is no longer news that Nnewi Most Powerful Body, known as "Nzuko ọra Nnewi," has endorsed the Re-election bid of Governor Willie Obiano. The endorsement was certified on Sunday, 5th November, 2017 by the Nzukọra General Assembly. Yesterday's event which started in the afternoon, witnessed loud turnout of crowd as soon as Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah, C.E.O of Capital Oil And Gas arrived the Nnewi Round about axis, which is close to the Nnewi Youth Hall, the venue of the meeting.

The APGA slogan 'nke a bụ nke anyị' is not just a saying, but a consolation in the fact that we, Ndigbo have that which we'd all fall back to at the end of the day - home. APGA is not just a political party, it's a pan-Igbo legacy and a movement  which  should be supported by any well-meaning Igbo son or daughter. APGA is the Igbo narrative in the larger Nigerian political space. During the era of Obasanjo's presidency, Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) was controlling Lagos. Tinubu was the governor and the idea wasn't to join the PDP because she controlled more states, but to be identifiable to what was theirs. Have  you ever wondered how  Lagos state at that time, weathered the storm of months without federal allocation when the internally generated revenue was yet to assume a high level. That didn't bother him a bit. How did he wrestle back the same zone from the stronghold of the same PDP in 2007 and went on to strengthen his hold on the  po...

Ifeanyi declares for apga, insists that afa igbo ama efu! To my steadfast supporters and umu nnem,   Today marks a turning point in my political life as I take a giant leap into that which will spur the advancement of my dream for an ideal and prosperous Anambra State. It has been a bumpy ride considering where I started from, the rough roads I have been through and challenges I have faced in search for the light at the end of the tunnel. Having done so much politically over the years by virtue of my avid belief in adding value to the people of Anambra State and in appreciation to God for his mercies on my life bearing in mind my modest background being the Son of a Teacher, it has become imperative to take stock of my contributions, assess my strengths/weaknesses and take advantage of the opportunities available to me which would be in tandem with my drive to further the course of the Ndi Igbo. As part of my vision and passion to advance the cause of my people, I have spent ...

Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah International Stadium, FC Ifeanyi Ubah continues to play host and guest to the World. Anambra State and Nigeria cannot afford to hastily get used to this phenomenal development in her sporting world. When the Chairman, Capital Oil & Gas, Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah concieved the idea to build the best privately-owned football stadium in Africa, it seemed like an unattainable feat, but finally, it has become a reality as Nnewi, Anambra State has begun to play host to other Nigerian football formations, in the different local leagues and  Africa, in the various seasons' CAF Confederation Cup competitions and friendly outings. The Anambra warriors has become a force to reckon with in the comity of football teams in Africa and the world at large. This is  about the magic wand of the human-capital developer of Anambra state - Dr Ifeanyi Ubah. It is all about what one sees. The power of vision anchored on human advancement. Give it to Dr Patrick Ifeany...

Dr Ubah, a well known CEO of repute, an astute ENTREPRENEUR and a distinctive WEALTH CREATOR is a man whose vision is ANCHORED on HUMAN CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT.

I heartily convey to you my kindest and heartiest sentiments of goodwill on the special occasion of your 45th birthday. I congratulate you because you have spent the last 19 years of your life championing the cause of humanity via your diverse interventions which have deepened Nigeria's legal jurisprudence and have also in no small measure improved the administration of criminal justice. A perfect gentleman to the core, a detribalized and courageous Nigerian. Our paths crossed over 2 decades ago when by God's special Grace on your life, you distinguished yourself as a young man of strong morals and ethics, excellent character and virtuous attributes. Your achievement over time speaks volumes of your tenacity, commitment, drive and genius. At a relatively young age of 42 years, you attained the position of the Secretary-General of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), a rare feat; and by the special grace of God, you will be voted in as the next President of the Nigerian Bar As...

"Polio as a threat to the world's population remains a cankerworm we must continue to fight. We must see polio eradication as a possibility"-             Dr Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah,             President, Ifeanyi Ubah Foundation.             24th October,  2017.

Dr. Ubah, while m...

This is to inform the general public that Ikechukwu Emeka Onyia has been relieved of his duties as the Senior Special Assistant, Media to Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah effective immediately owing to gross insubordination and disrespect to his principal, Dr. Ubah as well as other senior colleagues. It is regrettable that despite several counsels from varying quarters to refrain from inciting Anambrarians against His Excellency, Chief Willie Obiano, bearing in mind that he is the spokesperson of Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah and his utterances would be viewed as that of Dr. Ubah, Ikechukwu Onyia has relentlessly ignored these counsels and gone on a rampage, much to the chagrin of his principal. While we have consistently tried to get him back on track with regards to his behaviour, his recent involvement in discrediting the Nigerian Army and the Government of Anambra State has left us with no other choice than to issue this disclaimer. In view of the above, we wish to use this medium to announce that Ikechukwu...

It's another Anambra Gubernatorial Election, as Gov. Obiano seek for his reelection other aspirants seek to recoup power from him. As November 18, 2017 draws closer, we Ndi-Anambra would be left to either make a choice that may make or mar our collective interest further. Election: To elect means, ‘to choose or make decision’ Election has been the usual mechanism by which modern representative democracy has operated since the 17th Century. Election therefore, it’s a formal decision-making process by which a population chooses an individual to hold public office(Wikipedia). Election promises: An election promise or campaign promise is a promise or guarantee made to the public by a candidate or political party that are trying to win an election. Wikipedia Politician: A politician can mean someone who identifies with a political party. It can also be a person who is professionally involved in politics, especially a holder of or a candidate for an elected office. ...

I am most grateful to God not just for today's victory. Particularly, I am most grateful to God Almighty for this generation and current crop of Super Eagles. Achievements at club level without a World Cup appearance is akin to a king without a crown. Today, God has crowned the efforts of this brilliant generation of super stars with a World Cup ticket. They are the real heroes. They deserve all the plaudits and must be celebrated. We, the football loving masses in Anambra state will relish this moment with joy because a player of our great club, FC Ifeanyi Ubah, Ikechukwu Ezenwa was part of this success story. He has left a lasting legacy for other members of our team to emulate. Congratulations to our Super Eagles ! Congratulations to the Federal Republic of Nigeria! God bless. Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah

Oseloka H. Obaze, A FlagBearer Without A Flag. But, the last time I saw him he behaved throughout like a gentleman. Though his speeches were soft he ain't orderly a political persuasive speaker because, he wasn't prepared. Laughable, how one could now say that OHO who on 24th September, 2017, appeared on Channels TV Politics Today without working on his psychology and been left uneducated by his arrangees on issues that affects Ndi-Anambra is now PDP candidate for November 18, 2017. Laughable how one could say a man who made us understood that his only political pedigree is attending burials and traditional marriages is set to represent PDP in the forth coming November 18, 2017 Gubernatorial Election. Anambra doesn't need that man whose basis for governing Anambra is provision of borehole (water) rather than Human Capital Development. OHO, the UN packaged diplomat, the man whose candidacy was made possible through fraudulent party primary election have no pedigree to s...

Dear Mazi Odera, Having read your recent expression of innate idiocy in an attempt to smear the Ifeanyi Ubah brand, it has become pertinent to reach out to you to avoid being carried away by hurricane "ubah" I have watched with subtlety your gradual and disgraceful entrance into the ring meant for lions; and as a dog in the jungle which you are, your silence is non-negotiable lest you are consumed for supper and defecated when the cock crows.  While it is expected of you to spew this manner of junk which has become your trademark, one would have thought that you would be sensible enough to tread on the side of caution when mentioning the name Ifeanyi Ubah knowing fully well how you sneak into Maitama begging for....never mind! That would be an issue for another day. Permit me to state that I do not wish to take you to the cleaners by revealing your dirty secrets just yet for reasons best known to me and as a mark of respect for Dr. Ubah who is your benefactor. Why have y...

Barely three weeks af­ter the Peoples Dem­ocratic Party (PDP) conducted its governor­ship primary in Anambra State, one of the aspirants, Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah, yesterday ques­tioned the credibility of the primary and vowed to achieve justice in the court of law. Addressing newsmen in Abuja, Ubah accused the leaders of the party of using fake delegates’ list to conduct the primary, adding that the certified copy of the list he got from Independent Na­tional Electoral Commission (INEC) was different from what was used at the primary. Kicking against the pri­mary, the Chairman of Cap­ital oil described it as a show of shame, adding that Os­eloka Obaze, who was de­clared winner, was never given a waiver by the party National Executive Com­mittee (NEC). Ubah, who said that he has exhausted all internal mechanism of the party, add­ed that “I think it is the court that can address the situation now. We are going to court and if ...

As a loyal member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and one who stood by the party through thick and thin, my love for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) cannot be questioned. My immense contributions to the cause of the party, most especially during the last Presidential and General elections through the Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria cannot be overemphasized. In the same vein, anyone who has a thorough understanding of Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah can attest to the fact that I am a man of uncommon national vision and passion for the development of the nation and general good of the masses, especially the less privileged. It is the burden of the developmental needs of Anambra state and my burning desire to meet and exceed the expectations of Anambrarians that has relentlessly driven me to contest for the Governorship position of Anambra state. However, until constitutional amendments are made, one is constrained to contest for such position under a party structure. In my case, ...

The embattled scribe of the Imo State government is set to dump the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the State following irreconcilable differences with members of his local community. Chief Sir Eche George who is  recently engaged in a fierce battle of supremacy in his LGA, threw caution to the wind to declare his projective move into a yet to be mentioned political party. The unfolding development is coming on the heels of a purported move by the SGI to hijack the youth structure in the LGA without recourse to its manifest implications. Sources close to the SGI revealed that his recent moves are part of the consolidation processes to perfect the 2019 ambition of the astute administrator. In what looks like a confirmatory speech, Sir Eche George was bold to remind the crowd of teeming Onyeaghalanwanneya youths gathered over the weekend in Obiangwu, at his instance, that his interest is not party  centred. In his words; "I am not that typical politician who is fixe...
