Dr Orji Uzor-Kalu appears to have taken his eyes off the ball. Instead of tackling the overwhelming task of bringing development to Abia, the Gov. has been expending energy on self promotion and hype - to further his personal ambition of becoming the next President of Nigeria.
He is acutely aware, that the Ibos are keen to have their man as the next President of Nigeria and he fancies himself as 'the one' or the 'face of the millennium', as some of his apologists would have us believe.
The disillusionment we feel as Ibos, with the project 'Nigeria' and the clamour for a country of our own, be it Biafra or something else can only be quenched by a renegotiation of our relationship with other parts of Nigeria, in terms of influence and political power. Disenfranchisement breeds discontent; nothing short of a fairer share of the pie will do -personality politics cannot deliver this.
Ibos do not need personality politics at this juncture. Dr Kalu has been too busy putting up his photos all over Umuahia, he cannot be taken seriously.
Ibos are different from other tribes; we are free thinkers and cannot be taken for a ride. When I say different, I am by no means suggesting that we are better. I am saying that we think and do things differently. The project 'Nigeria' has failed us; we must therefore not be ashamed to push for separation - so as to create the right environment within which we can give concrete meaning to our predisposition to democratic principles and develop socially and economically at a rate that befits our collective energy.

I marvel at all of you clamouring for Orji for president of Nigeria.Let us shun all tribal sentiments and call a spade a spade.I come from Abia state,too and I know what I am talking about. The bible says that a man who is faithful in little shall be faithful in much. If Orji Uzor Kalu could not rule Abia State well is it Nigeria that he is going to establish the benchmark of excellence? The state is right now comatose, as almost all the facets of the state are either drained of all life, or struggling to survive. The state of roads is so sorry I would not dare even mention it. Workers have not been paid for so long that they have to resort to other means to survive. How can a man who says he is the governor relinquish the reigns of power to his mother, turning the state into a matriarchal affair. The list goes on and on and on. Orji Uzor Kalu could not govern Abia State. In that regards, the man is a colossal failure, a bug that this nation Nigeria can always do without. The likes of him should be confined to psychiatric homes, because from the look of things, he is hopelessly and down -to-earth sick. *wipes brow*that was one long essay!!!and I hate having to type for to long but de thing vex me well well  |

I changed my mind and i've got a few things to say. For Nigeria to grow, we need to come together as one and take advantage of our diversity. We are all different and special and no one tribe is better than the other trust me. Once we pass this problem of you are igbo, i am yourba, or whatever, then we shall all together grow as individuals in wonderful Nigeria. The moment we stop looking at ourselves as the various tribes that we are and look at us as NIGERIANS, we would come to realise that that would be the beginning of great things to come. Remember, Together we stand - divided we fall. I see most of you are trashing OJ saying he hasn't developed his state, he is ibo, etc. First of all, bear in mind that Orgies state especially the city Aba, consists mostly of thugs, traders and uneducated rich and poor citizen which at that point makes it difficult to manage the people and on the same note, makes Aba one of the most difficult cities to govern. You cannot develop a country if the people that live there do not understand, respect or appreciate the government of the day. Please please please please to not compare it to Lagos or wherever else that consist otherwise. Development is a gradual process. All our problems would not be solved in a day and it sure wont happen in10yrs. Even USA did not develop that fast. I believe this is an educational forum, so if you don't think that OJ is the best presidential candidate, please tell us why, who you think should be and why that person should is the best. you never no, you might convince a bunch of us like those for Orig did to me.  |

you don't need to appologize buchio7. I just think he is the best candidate so far and until someone else better than him emerges, then we shall see.

You cannot develop a country if the people that live there do not understand, respect or appreciate the government of the day. Please please please please to not compare it to Lagos or wherever else that consist otherwise. Your excuse for Kalu’s poor performance in Abia is that Abia houses “mostly thugs, traders and uneducated rich and poor citizens”. Aside from the fact that your excuse is as insulting as it is bad, I wonder how Kalu will cope if presented with the opportunity to rule Nigeria when the number of “thugs, traders and uneducated rich and poor citizens” will be multiplied several times over. He cannot handle them in Abia yet you expect him to handle them all over the country? I believe this is an educational forum, so if you don't think that OJ is the best presidential candidate, please tell us why, who you think should be and why that person should is the best. you never no, you might convince a bunch of us like those for Orig did to me. I suggest you read all the pages of this thread. All your questions have been answered in great detail. |

I am Igbo too,Orji should just go and sit down,he has failed as governor and will fail as president. The Igbo sentiment thing is just so annoying,shouldn't the best candidate win even if he's from Kotangora. |

I guess you can't please everyone. Also, not every body would be satisfied with his work. I believe what y'all are doing is called "constructive criticism". I hope he gets a chance to read all this and with that become better than he is now. However, I still think that he has done well for his state, and that he has proved to be the best and most eligible candidate so far. Peace.

I have alwayz said and will continue to say is that Kalu is no go area. He should go and run his business, I think oil which apprently all of them are into such business. If he becomes the president (which he won't), both him, his mother and Akitu will not only destory Nigeria but sell us out

I guess that it is better to keep shut than to talk.
Orji is the worst gorvernor in the South East. Infact after Alameseigha , I think that he might be the worst in the country.
Go to Aba. He keeps on harping about federal roads when you can not point any meaningful road he completed in Abia.
He has had about 3 deputy gorvernors.
As a biz man , he is successful. As a ruler , he has been corrupt and irresponsible and a big dissappointment to the youths.
He is no achiever. I will personally campaign against his election to what ever position.

sexyashell are you a paid PR person?and how much?
Have you ever been to Aba?
Have you specifically been down Asa Road,Pound Road or Omuma?
Please do your home work before you come out saying all this.
A city where there is no water supply,sanitation,electricity,where armed robbers have basically taken over.
Do you know that there are dead bodies,repeat dead bodies on street corners left to decay while people pass by.
Have you seen the heap of dirt on the sides and middle of the roads to and from Aba.
The stench is not comparable to any smell known to man.
My brother please stop this Orji nonsense.
Would you entrust a dog sitter who strangled your puppy to death with a new born baby?

from the political calculation released from the boat house, this man may well end up as the vice president of this country under IBB.

I guess everything in Nigeria these days has to do with money and who is paid to say and do what. I believe in free speech, I say what i think about situations and no man or woman has to pay me jack sh#t to express myself. I think you should learn to have that state of mind too. As for the problems in Aba, I believe you just mention problems going on in the whole Nigeria. Yes I have been to Aba. My Grand parents used to live there. I know it's not the best place in the world, but that is the same for most cities in Nigeria. When i was in Nigeria last xmas, some young men stole my cell phone at gun point IN LAGOS. They didnt freaking have to do that, it was just a damn cell phone. Wasn't one of the politcal candidate just murdered a few weeks back. This problem is not just restricted to Aba, but the whole Nigeria as a whole.

I will personally campaign against his election to what ever position All the afore quoted statement are great achievement because the news provides me adequate informations that weekends in ABA remains colourful in terms of people celebrating his praise, in terms of providing an unstable electricity, good faked road, hospital, to mention but few but i will rather reside in Zamfara than be ruled by Kalu! |

Did someone say Zamfara?
No no no baby no.
All the reasonable folks have since moved out of Zamfara,the Sharia Kingdom of West Africa.
Maybe Orji should go there.
