[size=14pt]Activities of Boko Haram pushed us to send back non-natives – Orji[/size]
From CHUKS ONUOHA, Umuahia
Friday September 09, 2011


Abia State Governor, Chief Theodore Ahamefule Orji has said the reason he is sending non-natives back to their home states is to enable the state to accommodate many Abia natives displaced in some crisis-ridden states of the nation by the activities of Boko Haram.

He made the explanations in a radio broadcast yesterday as part of the activities marking the 20th anniversary of the creation of the state and his 100 days in office. He said the move was a not vindictive measure but to, among other things, accommodate many Abia natives displaced in some crisis-ridden states.

He said further that the move would help the state government to implement the N18,000 minimum wage for workers, stressing that his administration was committed to the payment of the new minimum wage as stipulated in the 1999 Constitution as amended. “The compelling reasons for our action are as follow: there are many Abians displaced from the northern part of the country as a result of the activities of Boko Haram and others like them, who are anxiously waiting on government for re-absorption and rehabilitation.”

The governor noted that it would be difficult for his government to achieve its desire of satisfying its workforce with its present bloated workforce in which non-natives rank highest. “We can only achieve our desire of making our workers happy through the transfer of the non -indigenes in our civil service workforce to their states of origin.”

According to him, “the pupil-teacher ratio in our public schools is not encouraging, indicating that we have excess teachers who are virtually redundant. And the echelon of this profession is predominantly dominated by non-indigenes, to the major disadvantages of the indigenes who themselves need to be encouraged by promotion so that new people will be recruited to reduce unemployment. “Some time in the past, Abians working in other neighbouring states were disengaged and forced to return to their states for re-absorption. They were accordingly absorbed and non-indigenes from those states in Abia, have since been retained and peacefully accommodated.

Now that the state is committed to the payment of N18,000 minimum wage, the state cannot pay this if we silently continue to bear the burden of accommodating displaced Abians from other states, non-indigenes in the workforce and the existing workforce.”

well i guess other states too should do the dumb thing he did

he is not even making sense at all

so kano, oyo, kwara, anambra, delta etc should all push non-natives out of their states because of Boko haram

As long as the non-natives are of core-Northern origin then no problem but if it affects Igbos, even Efik-Ibibios, or Ogoni then its a problem.

Clueless thief,if evry state starts retrenchin abia workers does he tink he can accomodate all of dem. My aunt 4rm abia dat married an ebonyi state man was even affected by his proposed retrenchment.

udezue:

So it will be alright to you if Zamfara retrenches all Igbo/Efik/Ibibio/Ijaw civil servants in their state?

Yes @ Aloy, it will totally okay with me. What are they doing in that God forsaken place anyway?

Orji, in Abia State, who has successfully, helped further reduce a promising state into one of the hell holes in Nigeria, doing this? And some are blindly applauding this xenophobic move?

udezue:

Yes @ Aloy, it will totally okay with me. What are they doing in that God forsaken place anyway?

Do you have jobs for them if they come back South?. If Zamfara accommodates them, let them stay there. That is the way of life. This issue caused a lot of trouble in Nigeria after new states were created and parents were left with no jobs or pension from the govt. Ironically, many of Orji's relatives will be gainfully employed in Canada, UK or US and those countries are foolish to allow Nigerians to work in their country. Discrimination is a biatch.

Why can't dis short senile okija-going govnor pay dis minimum wage witout retrenching workers. De funniest part is he calld it transfer of service to milden it.anyhow I dey welcome all supposedly stranded abians 2 their state of origin hope they'll enjoy de daily disco we dance while drivin on our roads.

@Aloy, Boko Haram and muslim northerners have already sent them packing to their native Abia state so Abia state has the right to equally respond by sending them packing as well. Abia state must accomodate its people and related people 1st before worrying about complete strangers from the desert north. I am not a fan of Orji but I won't criticize the move. Let everybody answer their father's name.

Orji has to be the most re-tarded of all Govs. He makes Oni look like B.F Skinner.

Most of those ppl eiher dont have a home back in the North or they moved to the SE (OF ALL PLACES) for better circumstances in life.

Why does this remind me of "The trail of tears"?

This is rather silly and very short sighted of this governor and his supporters on this thread. So, if other states send away people from Abia who may be way high up on the pay scale, say level 10 of the civil service, they would go back to Abia to earn 18,000? Averagely speaking, most northerners in Abia civil service will not be on the higher rank but Abians will probably be on a higher rank and does it make sense to be sent away from a 100,000 job to your home state to go and work for less?

Another thing is this, if other states decide to send back Abians, you can be quite certain that they will in almost all certainty send back people who are not Abians but from the SE and will not hire anyone with SE name because they can argue that they intentionally changed their state to be something else other than Abia. This may not be true in all cases but what can anyone affected do about it? Will the governor ask for them to be sent back again to be hired in Abia state? Well, tribalism caused war in the past and the stage may just be setting again with uselessness like this one!

I know that you're from the SE, so forgive me if I say  your govs do not think at all.

An average person would claim that they're tribalists.

Another one, Okorocha, made a huge statement about "Providing education for non-natives (Northerners) too" since he passed his free education reform. Before nko? Must the northerners be singled out, even if they've been living there for generations? A very condescending statement to make.

very disgusting things.

ONLYLIES is still smarting from the massive beat down he got just a few hours ago. . I don't play your tribalistic BS games. What I told another tribalist is applicable to you, say a big AMEN if your conscience is clean and you tell ONLYTRUTH:

udezue:

The same allies who fought to wipe out another group are now the ones wiping each other out? How the Plateau people have made themselves vulnerable in their own land is amazing.

You are afflicted with the curse of tribalism because the only thing you see here is their tribe. Imagine this is your pregnant relative who just got wiped out and the only thing people take away from the unfortunate incident is her tribe. There are many tribalists and racists like you on NL and the evil you refuse to give-up the tribalism you encourage and perpetuate, you will reap the reward someday except you don't redeem yourself from this curse immediately.

BTW, an old foolish man like you should not be following a younger man like a gay pedophile dummy pin-head. Get a life and stop following me everywhere like a zombie!

MY friend sharrap dia!

Udezue is a surviving son of Igbo who was almost wiped out by the same people you are pitying.
He owes them no pity. 

And tell your Yoruba brothers to repent and BEG us for forgiveness for their role in Biafra, else SAME FATE awaits them.

You're a shameless tribalist.

I used to look up to your posts until I found out your kinky habits of posting tribalistic comments. I hope you don't drown in your own disgusting tribalistic-pool.

I am NOT a tribalist. I am a realist of the Nigerian situation.
A sad realist.

Potatoe potato.

Still a tribalist.

ONLYLIES: Don't sound all conciliatory by calling me your friend and going on again with your dagger of tribalistic shame. I cannot be friends with a tribalist. Udezue and yourself are old men who should know better and should not repeat the mistakes that has not benefited that country till date.

Obvious you are NOT Igbo. hehehe!
"My friend" in Igbo parlance does not mean friend literally. It actually means the opposite.
It precedes a command to a person deemed of lesser status.  Ask any Igbo about that.

I AM NOT YOUR FRIEND BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT CAPABLE OF SHINNING MY SHOES. 

And what is it about you and old men?! 
Did anybody molest you? LMAO.
Grow up dude.

You're too overgrown for this shameless attitude. Tribalism does not sit well with you.

You've overgrown this shameless attitude. Tribalism does not sit well with you.

How I wish you told that to Pa Awo when he was scheming to starve out my people, some of who were mere infants.

Anyway, I told you already. I am not a tribalist. Any close observer of human behavior would spot that.
I'm just a realist.

I believe a day may come when I change if things change in Nigeria.

You have to take my words for it.

Were you starved?

Is that why you persist in your shameless tribalism?

Your words stopped meaning anything to me a LONGGGG ago, so stop acting as if your words have any value.

Your words stopped meaning anything to me a while ago, so stop acting as if your words have any value.

If the mother who gave birth to me starved to death, will I be here today? NO.
My dad was a Biafran soldier, so he had food. My mum didn't.

Everyone who reads your posts can obviously see you are a tribalist but may not know I just used your old bigoted head to mop the shitty floor, hence you follow me around now like a zombie! The only thing you mention is your tribe but I challenge you to say "Amen" to what I said before you couldn't. I asked you to prove yourself here and stop hiding behind your tribal sentiments, you could not. Clearly, an empty barrel like you makes the most noise. An old foolish man would always be schooled by even a baby but the big shame is that he cannot see his disgrace even if it slapped him in the nose.

Again, proof yourself, live me alone and stop leeching after my every foot step. I can NEVER be a friend of a TRIBALIST and EVIL BIGOT like you and the evil you cause Nigeria with this attitude of yours is what you will reap all your life until you stop it. Stop following me around ga.y pedo.phile evil RACIST!

So stop with the tribalism.

Ogbeni, show me that thread jare. I want to read.

His excuse doesnt even make sense in any way . What does boko haram concern abia? How would the move help implement the new minimum wage in his state if all the other SE governors agreed to do the same? Wont Abia natives in other SE states be payed the minimum wage as well? . . .He just wants less people to be in Abia so he has less to dish out and more to pocket. I'm guessing he doesnt thing the other Igbo governors can follow suit and if that happens there will be an influx of Abians back to abia and the fool still wont be able to pocket as much money as he planned. Clown!

Can someone tell this goat [b]CyberG [/b]to avoid Igbo threads!
He followes Igbo threads and claims that Igbos follow him.  
True dimwit.

Boko horam are hungry and jobless Nigerian youths.

They're not non-natives --- not suprised Libyans are killing Nigerians, many people this day lack the gift of tolerance.
