Re: Emeka Ugwonye, Loses Libel Lawsuit Aimed At Suppressing Activists

It is indeed manifest that you are some chauvinistic provincial dude who is not exposed? from your comments you don't understand the tenets of the constitution with regard to free speech, people like you are better off under some palm tree in your native background drinking palm wine and engaging in village gossip! The lady is free to air her views please keep your village ideals to yourself!

Please people do not dismiss Ify as a wicked, disgruntled sister who wants to expose family secrets.
Like a writer said, this woman has had enough of this brother Emeka. She is crying for help in putting the family on a sound ground and folks are here calling her names.
My question is did Emeka do these things she is talking about, if so do we know the length Ifeoma has gone to resolve the family feud?
We should all stop shielding eveil in the of " family affairs" this is what has ruined Nigeria with PDP telling us same crap "family affairs. Sometimes it is good to be blunt and say sh......, f...., b...., people may not like it but that is the way life goes. Who else will know Emeka better than the sis, not us SR-uncertified lawyers.

Guys,
I am so very unsurprised by the comments we are getting here. Shows clearly that some people are more interested in you keeping shut when u are being oppressed, while others will prefer that u wash ur dirty linen in public to their gleeful delight.
Ify is not an unreasonable woman from the narrative that she has presented, so there should be some truth there. However, i believe in the saying that the facts speak for themselves thus in this situation, i don't think coming to public is best. If he wants your property, let him show the papers. If he is turning your mum against u,the lies will come out under interrogation. so u had no cause to worry.
Now, Emeka seems to be one hell of a dude. But he is a creature of our nigerian system and one of those funny eggs. However, one may need to dig more deeply to confirm that he does not have a valid case.On his being a philanderer, for me that is his life but he should be ready to financially oil it working hard to do so is best. Owing people their salaries is shameful, but i am curious: if the guys worked for the salary, will the company have folded up? I am just curious oooooo: my definition of work is that action that is taken by all individuals in a company to meet the common goal-making profit, delivering on CSR, etc.
My fair assessment of this situation is thus: there are stuff that are between the lines and after the sentences in the whole scenario that we commentators do not have an inkling of. This relationship will be difficult to put together on the pages of SR, so I hereby declare that both parties should call a truce, sheath their swords and remain separated until they have purged themselves of all sins, if any!

"From the abundant of the heart the mouth speaks". Mrs Ilo's stand on her brother's loss and using this media to actually expose the pain her brother is causing her might be a cry for help. Its not everyday that people wake up and choose to turn in their beloved one for no reason. Deep in this woman's heart is acry for help. It is obvious that she no longer feel safe by what her brother is capable of doing hence her choice to express it in this media. I am sure that this not all her story.
For those commentaries that admonished Mrs. Ilo for "exposing" her family problem, you are indirectly asking her to "hush" and endure it. Mr. Ugwuonye I suppose could be the elder of the two and who could Mrs Ilo report him to? Who?
I pray that she finds it in her heart to forgive her brother of all the atrocities he had unleashed on her and her family.

Pls stop condenming Ify for speaking out. She did the right thing. Besides, I also know this man very well in lagos b'cos I had some friends of mine who worked for his law firm here in Lagos. All Ify said about Emeka is totally correct. I remember a time when some staff (a single and a married lady) in his firm actually fought over who was getting more of his attention. Today, the place is folded up! What u sow, u definitely reap!

I think you are one confused dude.

Try and read my comment well before assuming that I condemned Ify.

I will advise you to use your head and reason like an adult which I believe you are.

I wouldn't call a human being a Devil just because of his wrong doings. Look thoroughly into your lifestyle and see if you ever did a SIGNIFICANT GOOD.

I might not know Emeka doesn't mean that there is possibly NO Good thing about him.

Do not call people Devil dude...

You are not better off.

Honourable Anonymous,

I read your comments and was surprised but on a closer look I felt pity for you cos u've never met or come accross the DEVIL called Emeka. May God have mercy on you for condemning Ify. Why not try to find out the gravity of the devil's action(s) towards Ify b4 u condemn her.

Plsssssssssssssssssssss, don't be the
'Devil's Advocate". Emeka is nothing but a devil's incarnate. Pity him not.

My opinion is that Emeka needs help. Rather than throw stones at him, I suggest that his friends should find a way to get him some professional help. Most of us have at least one family member with similar characteristics.I agree that his sister should have kept their family problems out of SR but I can only assume that she must have been fraustrated.
Emeka being a lawyer makes it an especially daunting task, because obviously he will feel that he does not need any help. He is clearly un aware of the destruction he has caused in so many people's lives.
I pray that the family finds a speedy resolution before things fet out of hand.

I call them haters.
They are stupid with their sense of judgement.

I am not trying to make Ify's stories false, but I think there were lots of salt added to the story.
What manner of a woman would be fighting publicly with his brother?
What has that got to speak about her?
Does she expect to be applauded for taking care of her brothers if she so did?
The things we do to bring down someone's name tell a lot about us.
Let's be fair when addressing this kind of issue.
Emeka might be sleeping with thousands of women, that's no bid deal. It is his decision, the report didn't mention that he RAPES women nor did it mention that he is GAY, so please give this gentle man a BREAK.
He's far better than most of us posting all these silly comments.

An advice for IFY, try and make peace with your brother, mother and the whole family. I am quite sure you have injured them with your comment.

We all got wrong doings.
Let's not resort at humiliating one another.
Peace.

dis ify and your husband or whatever ur husbands name is:

you are both fools. how dare you publicise your family problems and denigrate your own brother emeka like that. i dont know you peaple from adam but i am ashamed that you are igbo. tufiakwa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

.

I worked for his company in Lagos,he was sleeping with most of the women workers, he didn't care whether you were married or not.

His business in Lagos folded up so quickly because it was built on deceit and lies. He spent his capital on his extravagant life style, womanising and expensive hotels. I now understand the reason he didn't achieve anything with all that money is because he STOLE it.

Up until today, he still owes me and several other people that worked for him months and months of salaries which he has no plans to pay. Pension and taxes were deducted from our salaries but not remitted to our pension accounts and the government of Lagos State, Nigeria.

This man is a lawyer but he does not have any respect for the law, he is supposed to uphold.

People should try understand Ify Ugwuonye, she is a woman who has been hurt so much by one who is supposed to be her BROTHER. There is hardly any one who has come across Emeka, that does not have sad tales to tell afterwards.

EMEKA UGWUONYE should be investigated and brought to book, he has ruined many lives and will continue if nothing is done about him.

I am ashamed of the comments from supposedly educated Igbo brothers here.

This writer is not calling for arbitration and has done absolutely nothing wrong, in my books for writing this comment about his brother whose story is on the public domain. This is clearly more of a case of an upright sibling exposing or giving evidence against her dodgy/or fraudulent brother.
My Igbo brothers here jumped to the primitive view that she should have shielded her dodgy brother who is probably bringing shame unto her family.
I think she is perfectly entitled to expose her brother to let the world know that every one of their Ugwuonye is not like Emeka.
She is right in my view to side with the truth!!
Being a woman does not man that she cannot be right over a man. Civilised Igbo men accept that a woman can be right over a man!!!

I met emeka when he came to nigeria to set up a law firm. A better word to describe is a DEVIL. He sleeps with anything in skirts and boasts about it. He even goes to d extent of mentioning the names of top women he has slept with and how he got them into his bed. To say d least his bizness in nigeria collapsed in 6mths cos he cldn't keep his zipper up. The man is in financial wreck n is desperate. All I can say is dat he needs delivrance he is dubuious, cunny n a sadist. Ify I feel u but evil cannot last for too long. I can't begin to list all d atrocities this man has committed. Abeg leave story jo.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, need I say more?

"He is known as the destroyer of friendships and families. he sleeps with his best friends wives, and turns them against their spouses by reviling his friends' secrets"

Humble yourself Mrs Ilo, this is such a big shame, most families have issues. But to bring it to the world to see does not make you any better. This is not a medium used for resolving personal family disputes. What does it mean or say about your character if you could destroy your blood relation like this. Mr. Oknokwo was right and not too harsh, he spoke the truth.

Why are you bothered if grown up people want to talk about their issues in public.
With all due respect to descent Nigerian lawyers, but a lot of them seem to believe that a law degree tilts the law on their side. That is until they meet someone with the determination and means to wipe the floor with their greedy ass!

perhaps i was too harsh on the lady.....im sorry for that..however,i still maintain that the writer went too far.seek peace with your brother.IWE NWANNE ADIGHI ERU NA OKPUKPU.

I agree that Mrs. Ilo should take this issue off SR but Okonkwo Keneedy should go very softly softly on castigating her. For a sister to write this about her brother means there is more to it than meet the eyes. Do not rush to judgment. I hope they can find a way to settle their dispute for the sake of their family name.

Please, please, please, Ify, could you for the sake of your name, that of your immediate and extended family withdraw what you posted above. For God's sake, SR website is a site meant to cater for issues of general interest; its neither an abitration board nor a court of law.

I advise you and the said Emeka to go settle what appears to be a private family dispute in private rather than engage in this silly public show of shame. Or do you think those of us you feed with the details of your family troubles hasn't got issues of our own to sort with one or more members of our own family? Nwa Ada, THINK, THINK and THINK like Nwa afor!
A word should be enough for the wise.

this is such a trash you have written my dear.....people like you will stop at nothing in trying to tarnish the hard earned reputations of others.you find this medium the right avenue to vent your frustrations on your brother.we are interested in topics that wii advance the good of the people of nigeria and not the settlement of family feud.the next time ,you will speak ill of your own mother. i have reasons to believe that you such a bad daughter. i advise you make peace with your brother or shut up.
