Chinedu don’t even have time 4 all this bull sheet . Someone is enjoying folks time while some few are promotion fake News all over the media. plz can we stop gossiping and do business because this fake news a never read us any where, I went 2 capital supermarket verify d manager told me noting like that never happened that I should not mind the gossipers.

Gov T A Orji as an ordinary person may be a nice man, but as a Governor, he is a complete failure. As a former career civil serant we all expected him to do better than this. 4yrs plus and no tangible thing to show for it. He keeps installing and removing street lights along Aba Rd, patching roads with cement and expired asphalt. Abia is really unlucky to have him.

Ministers shocked as Chinese firm frustrates power plant

The workers at the multi-billion naira Olorunsogo Power Plant phase 1 have revealed that SEPCO Electric Power Construction Corporation, the Chinese firm that built it has been frustrating the smooth operations of the eight gas turbines of the power project.
This was the shocking revelation during a working visit of the Minister of Power, Barth Nnaji and Minister of Information, Labaran Maku, on behalf of the Presidential Steering Committee, headed by Vice President Namadi Sambo.

As a result, the plant, which was built to generate 335 megawatts presently generates about 80 megawatts.
The tour of power projects is to ensure anything hindering the Nigeria Independent Power Projects as well as the Federal Government Power Plants from the realisation of 5000 megawatts by the end of the year is fixed.
Aside not having operating manual in English to assist the Nigerian workers understand the operations of the machines at the power plant, they have also deliberately refused to build their capacity as they send out the workers during repairs or claim to be on break each time the workers insist on being put through.

The ministers were told that out of the eight gas turbines, only two were functioning since the plant was commissioned over five years ago due to poor maintenance, non availability of spare parts, lack of technical competence as well as the non availability of operating manuals in English. More shocking for the ministers was that the Acting Chief Executive Officer of the plant, Mr Mohammed Almu and his team were unable to provide answers to the queries concerning the problems bedeviling the plants, neither could they come up with agreed funds needed to fix the broken turbines.

Almu, however, admitted the frustrations they had been going through in the hands of the Chinese.
Almu said: “On the issue of spare parts, at the time of handing over of this project, they (Chinese) supposed to give us two years running spare parts but what they gave us were just small spare parts, that is why we are having serious problem. And anytime we contact tham, they will promise to bring the parts and up till now, they have not given us any. And any time we have a problem and we want to go with them, they will refuse to go with us and abandon the place.”

Though he said both Nigerians and the Chinese were still presently working on the power plant together, he noted that “at any time we want to meet minds together, they will refuse. And some of them don’t even understand English, so its difficult,” adding that “we don’t have operating manuals in English.”
Both Nnaji and Maku, who could not hide their shock and disappointment, however, said Federal Government would look into the terms of agreement of the project between the Chinese and Nigeria to know the true status before taking the necessary actions.

Nnaji expressed great displeasure over the level of incoºmpetent technical know how of the staff of the power plant, saying, “it is very disappointing that coming from Egbin Station, where we were well briefed, we got here , scratching for information, I don’t like it and we will do something about that because what we want is ability to ensure that things keep on going. It requires resourcefulness to get things done.

How can we be in a situation where if you total the amount of money needed here it’s nothing in comparison with just one project the people in Egbin solved . It is a lot more than all of this put together. So, for sure,we are going to do something to solve these problems but on the technical side, we have to do something. That is why visiting these plants is very important.

“For sure,we are going to do something about it to solve these problems . That is why visiting these plants is very important,” the power minister said. Explaining part of the terms of agreement, the minister said: “They (Chinese) actually built this plant on loans. They provided about 65 percent of the funds and Federal Government provided the balance to build this plant. So, you know what loan means, you’ll have to pay.

“So, the consideration is whether the company that built this plant should simply take over, since they have the documents and they haven’t handed the documents and the documents are not written in English. So, definitely we are going to resolve this problem in a way that it will be to the benefit of Nigerians.”

Also reacting said, “We are on a fact-finding tour to find out what the problems are, what are the prospects and what is the state of progress in all our power plants. You (Power Minister) have said it that this plant is ready and that there are small technical problems that shouldn’t obstruct production. You are on top of the situation and you are providing the leadership. And as we go back, I am sure we will find solutions, if they are technical or financial, we will apply them and if they are managerial, definitely that would be applied.”

O boy! Now the guy go get phobia for Supermarkets!

The idea of people going about carrying about rumours that can never be is very bad to the government. This is demoralising as far as I know. The said Son Excellency been beaten up by an army officer at CAPITAL SUPERMARKET along Uwalaka street is a fallacy. I've gone as far as meeting the owner of the said supermarket to confirm this as a my friend, and he told me that openly that such a thing did not happen in his supermarket. And to the best of my knowledge, he has security officers that guides the place that would not allow such to happen. Good people of Abian, let's mind our businesses and give the maximum required support to the government-in-power to enable the government move forward.

[b]Abia Gov's Son, Chinedu beaten to coma by Soldiers
, For ordering His Thugs to assault an Army Captain
…"In Abia You Don't Shop With Him At same time”

Gov. T. A Orji

Chinedu, eldest son of Abia state Governor, Theodore Orji, escaped death by whiskers, few weeks ago when he was battered and horsewhipped by soldiers in the state capital, for assaulting an Army captain.

Pointblank news.com sources hinted Chinedu was so bloodied with several broken bones that his father had to send him to a London Hospital for surgery.

But in a curious twist, the Army captain was kidnapped few days after the incident in Ohafia Local Government Area by hoodlums apparently at the behest of Chinedu. As at the time of going to press, the Army was still negotiating with the kidnappers.

Trouble started for the Governor's son when he and his thugs and body guards visited Capital supermarket in Umuahia and ordered every shopper to leave. Chinedu's usual style is, whenever he is around to shop anywhere in the state, his bodyguards and thugs order everyone to exit.

But on this fateful day luck ran out on the spoilt brat. Our source said when Chinedu visited Capital Supermarket the few shoppers scampered out at the sight of his thugs and guards, but an Army captain, and his orderly, who were in civilian clothes, refused to leave.

Pointblank news.com sources said when the army officer ignored the orders by Chinedu's thugs for him to leave, the Governor's son approached the officer and bellowed " do you know who I am?"

According to our investigation the officer replied " I don't know who you are and don’t want to know you". This effrontery infuriated the Governor's son who responded with a smack to the face of the officer.


Said our source "he slapped the officer and asked his thugs to deal with him. They pounced on the officer and his orderly who were outnumbered. They beat them so bad and threw them out"

It was further gathered that few minutes after the assault, the orderly put a call through to Army Barracks in Umuahia.

Continued the source "they came in four trucks, full military fatigue, riffles and horsewhips. At that time Chinedu had settled to shop. When they came in hell broke loose. They took Chinedu and his boys down; beat them so bad with gun butts, and horsewhips. "

Pointblank news.com gathered further that after the beating, they were all thrown on the floor of the truck and driven to headquarters, where they were locked up, and tortured further.

According to our source, he and his thugs were detained at the barracks for days until the Chief of Army Staff, General Ihejirika intervened.

“He was released after the Governor apologized, and the Army chief intervened. Chinedu could not walk, he had cuts bruises, and fractures. He was later flown to London for surgery. Not sure if he is back, but someone told me they saw his car"
