He has paid his dues for quite a while. There was little need for him to turn rogue along the line. But then again, isn't that what they all do?

Babangida also made him The chairman of the then Imo State owned Progress Bank. The bank eventually got liquidated. It's very striking that this news article started by calling him a "Bornu business man" not even a Bornu based business man! We will also like you guys to refer to him as such because that is what he really is. This should also be extended to one Rochas Okorocha, who should also be regarded as a "Jos business man"! These are Igbo sons truly. But they were made by outsiders and were later domesticated in Igbo politics to cause enough commotion as they always do.

I can see you started very well, which made the people of Abia to entrust you with their resources and revenues as the governor, but you ended up disappointing them and leaving the entire State in ruins and shambles owing to the way you looted everything that was meant for development..

Chief Orji Uzor Kalu as I heard from my dad kicked off hustling at an early stage.
He shared the story with me about 5/6 years ago, on how the both deal on leather and palm oil way back in Aba.

Those who knew OUK during his serving term of governance in Abia State knows that the man meant well for the state, but his mother was a Queen Jezebel in disguise.

Even at 27 he was already one of the richest Igbo men alive

The average 27 year old now is still "sagging" and living with his parents

Abia State people still harbor the mindset that Tinubu and Buhari are their problems. They would never speak ill of the two Orjis who looted them dry. They know how to attack Hausas when they learn that Igbos are killed in the North, but won't hold accountable the men who deny them of their health care facilities, education and good road. All these later things I have mentioned have caused more death than the northern killings.


With good education and being in politics, you can kill, steal, and people will praise you for being good in Nigeria.

Na wa, they have not given me
the recognition and this has limited the scope of my financial contributions to events in the state


How does lack of recognition limited your contribution to your state, which kin selfish yarns undecided

The truth is that we have been unfortunate with the kin of people that rise to the top in Nigeria.

There are just the kind of people that keep accumulating for themselves never bothered about others beneath.
