orji blames colonialists for Africa’s
crises Written by Kate Da Costa in Accra,
Ghana Monday, 22 October 2012 05:31 Governor Theodore Orji of Abia State has blamed colonial powers for the various crises being faced by African countries. Speaking in Accra at the weekend, Orji said “The nature of the State legacies of war and militarization, poor resource management are issues which African States emerged as creation of European colonial powers, which shaped the nature of the new States from the period of independence. “The new States were enmeshed in conflicts, especially as diverse races were fused into incompatible unions of most States. These new and weak States were further characterized by weak institutions, poor governance and selfish leadership in the post independence era. This is why the initial spread of ethnic base and border conflicts dominated the African region in the first two decades of independence.” The Governor who was awarded ‘The Best Governor in Security Matters in Nigeria’ for ending the spate of insecurity in his state also blamed the backwardness of the continent on protracted arms struggles. Speaking on the topic: ‘Sustainable Security Structure in Africa; Abia Experience, Governor Orji traced the history of insecurity and armed struggle to the negative legacies of colonial rule.

Am I d 1st 2 comment here abi na dream I dey?

Which one is "the be" governor again?

THEY SHOULD V ALLOWED MY BROTHER TO GOVERN THEM FOR ONE WEEK BEFORE THE AWARD AS A WAY TO SHOW THEY TRULY BELIEVE THEIR FOOLISHNESS!!! ABI THEY GET SOMETHING WEY THEY WAN COME COLLECT FROM THE PRISONER GOVERNOR? CLOWNISH SYCOPHANTS!!!!

So, who will he blame for the current state of Aba roads? Is it the same colonialists? Btw, who awarded him the best governor? What a joke.

Governor TA Orji was awarded the best governor on security matters in Nigeria. I think he deserves the award because he has done really well in terms of securing his people.

The problem with Abia people is unsatisfactory syndrome ,which i think many have contacted out of greed,hatred and jealousy...u just can't expect ABIA to get better by a flip of a leaf or by a flash in a pan......there is more to development than over anticipating for a drastic and swift change in just a regime or two;the neighboring states most people make references of ,have in many years input consistency in developing their states which took them over a decade to actualize but ours is different ,we just want the change to come like a flash of lightening.......we all know,like the adage of old that says "Rome was not build in a day"......so lets be cautious with what we say because to actualize a great change ,ABIA state government needs some time to institute that great change we all need......though the governor is working but the problem is that we have been over-expectant and this i think does not encourage growth in any system of government.....i will urge us to be productive in the mind in such a way that will help contribute ideas that will encourage the governor and not institute diversity in the system....more so,i think there are lots more way to analyze the level of development the government have attained...i have taken some time to move around some places in ABIA where i read and heard of projects and on-ongoing projects are being put in place,so i saw things for myself and was able to adjudicate the progress that has been made by the governor,so in that regard i have little or no lash against the governor ,which is to say he should build upon the progress and achievement he has made so far and establish more enviable developmental project that will challenge people's perception....people of ABIA state,let us join hands and lift ABIA state to an enviable height......let us denounce hatred,jealousy,greed,discredit,disgruntlement.....we can do all things ,only if we believe in our dear our own ABIA state and her leaders,governor and his aides.......lets be positive minded ,not being bias,because ABIA is like one house ,so any divided house can not stand...thank you,UMUABIA.

T.A has been outstanding,whether the haters like it or not..he is better than most past governor of abia state.

i must comment T.A orji for his good work these days....i just went to some location last time i visited abia state and i saw some edifice,some good structures that have been put in place and more so,some good roads being build...it shows some level of commitment....he deserved the award

Well, it wasn't really 'the best governor award' right?
No cause for alarm now but just incase it was the best governor award, then i guess it is safe to assume ghanians are just trying to play act us

bullshit ! The lazy fool improved on his predecessor's dismal governance to impoverish Abians , making the state more vulnerable to insecurity.
Thanks to the FG for intervening through the military , who fought Relentlessly to prevent Further mayhem. The chief of army staff , Ihejirika , who hails from isiukwuato local government in Abia state played a key role in restoring peace and security. T.A orji was totally inept , clueless and undoubtedly naive on how to govern the state at that point in time. He lacks the morality to condemn our colonial masters.

You talk like someone who eats through the anus and defecate through the mouth. What part of the report do you not understand? That the governor was given an award for his track record in security matters and you are going crazy about it. Don't tell me that Africa that gave him an award in this regard is a fool. Watch your tongue
