RE: ABIA FROM GOD’S OWN TO GOONS’ OWN STATE

When one is entrusted with the people’s confidence, resources and fortune, one would need the Amazing grace of God to discharge one’s responsibilities with utmost care, prudence, transparency and equity.

In 1990, Orji Uzo Kalu was either by hook or crook, elected Governor of Abia state. His mandate was to impact positively on the people of the state, using the common wealth of the people. But contrary to this expectation, Kalu, for eight years, only proved himself to be incomparably unscrupulous, greedy, and unintelligent and extremely fetish. The combination of extremity of Kālu’s vice amounted to, not only total disappointment to the people of God’s own state but Abians taking a very strong decision never again to repose their confidence in a charlatan and in one whose pedigree is suspect. KALU’S atrocities in Abia and against Abians were so devastating that the people of God’s own state, both individually and collectively wept and placed a cures on him, his mother and siblings.

When a people, with sorrow and tears, marginalization, injustice and overwhelming depression place a curse on a greedy opportunist, the consequence is always unimaginably enormous. It is the curse that Abians, and, indeed, many other Nigerians placed on Kalu that has porously bred errand boys; Odimegwu Onwurmere, who is incapable of differentiating an adverb from a verb, to write a piece that is full of incoherence and only amounts to a trash on page 21 of This Day of Monday 31 December, 2012. I n the said write-up, Kalu, through his untutored sycophant; Odimegwu Onwumere, fruitlessly and unethically expressed his grouse over the claim by one of Governor T.A Orji’s aids that the Governor has restored the dignity of the Abia person Kalu, being conscious of the havoc he wrecked on Abians, would not want to hear of the restoration of the dignity of Abia people, Hence he has continued to cry wolf where none exists.

For purpose of educating Kalu and equally call him to order, let me talk on dignity and its restoration in Abia state. Because of this crude and uninformed background, Kalu does not know that dignity is that intrinsic qualities in that earns or makes one deserve respect. Dignity does not necessarily flow wealth. Rather, it is an inalienable associate of character. Having taught Kalu this elementary lesson, hoping he would learn though he may lack the mental capacity to absorb and retain simple but decent knowledge, I would now say a few things to justify the claims by the Governor’s aids on restoration of dignity.

1. When a person’s dignity is restored the person enjoys enhanced positive image. By virtue of constitutional democracy, every Abian is entitled to certain fundamental human right such as;

a) Freedom to hold an independent opinion that is freedom of thought

b) Freedom of association

c) Freedom of worship.

Any time that fundamental right of an Abian or any other individual is violated or denied, it goes a long way to cause psycho-social depression. This, certain, effects the individual and, therefore, impacts very negatively on his or her character and, by clinical extortion, his or her dignity.

I am saying it for the umpteenth time that during the tenure of Kalu as Governor in Abia state, Kalu and his unprecedentedly avaricious mother, Eunice, deliberately and consistently trampled upon the fundamental rights of many Abians. People were compelled to go to some Juju shrines to swear to oaths of unjustifiable allegiance to Kalu and his mother. I, personally, was cunningly taken to Umuhuezechi in Bende Local Government Area of Abia state for this purpose. Today Governor T.A Orji has given appointments, contracts and other life-support incentives to many Abians without subjecting any of them to any form of oath taking. This is restoration of dignity.

2. For the eight years that Kalu presides over the affairs of Abia state, he never gave any quantifiable consideration to the health of Abians; hence he did not think it necessary to erect even a one clinic.

T he Governor T. A. Orji, a quintessential administrator and an accomplished alumnus of Nigeria’s premier University of Ibadan, has been able to build and equip two hundred and fifty health centers spread across the state and two functional diagnostic medical centers in Umuahia and Aba, has definitely tormented Orji Kalu who now perceives the Governor’s performance as a deliberate design to dump him in the dust bin meant for non-performers.

3. Abia is an oil producing state, courtesy of Ukwa west Local Government Area. Throughout Kālu’s tenure every plea made by the people of Ukwa west for his administration to set up an oil producing Area Development Commission naturally fell on a deaf ear. He did not grant the request because, true to his nature, Kalu hates the progress and comfort of his fellow beings. But no sooner did Chief T. A Orji become Governor then he set up the Abia state oil producing Area Development Commission. That commission has helped immensely in the development of Abia state, particularly the Oil producing areas of the state. Traditional Rulers from Ukwa west had no vehicles but today are proud owners of Jeeps that have, for sure, enhanced their status. Kalu has always been a victim of ignorance and so, will not realize that an elevation of this magnitude for Traditional Rulers in Ukwa west would go a long way to give impetus to their dignity. Does this not justify the Governor’s aide’s claim?

4. Kalu’s eight-year government of Abia state did not witness any quantifiable empowerment of the Abia youth. His administration only recorded donation of Tokumbo motorcycles and wheel –barrows to Abia youths. On the contrary, the Government of Ochendo has motivated Abia youths with more than five hundred cars and more than two thousand tricyles, otherwise known as Keke- Napep. The beneficiaries of this unparalleled benevolence of the Governor have subsequently become self-employed and are living very responsible life and discharging their social cum community obligations. For youths that’s could only dream of motor-cycles and wheel-barrows during the administration of Kalu to have their taste redirected and their status radically upgraded, Kalu, being a sadist, would not perceive any meaningful restoration of dignity in this context. What a pity!

5. I n other to address the problem of youth empowerment and its attendant youth restiveness; a twin problem that was responsively unattended to during the era of darkness which Kalu’s Government represented, the T.A Orji Government has offered employment to four thousand and five hundred Abia youths and is encouraging them to acquire useful skills with money they are being paid in order to guarantee a stable future for themselves. Because Kalu would not wish or see anything good in Ochendo’s Government, he would not agree that youths that were hopelessly abandoned by his administration but are now being rehabilitated by Governor T.A Orji have had their dignity restored.

6. While the Federal Government of Nigeria legislative eighteen thousand Naira as minimum wage for the least Nigerian worker, the Abia state Government, under Ochendo, pays twenty thousand and one hundred Naira to her lowest public servant. It is only the devil that will not see restoration of dignity in this vivid expression of humanity.

7. In this piece, I do not intend to mention the numerous legacy projects initiated and being executed by the administration of Governor T.A Orji in the state. Should I talk of the civil servants secretariat complex that is eight percent completed or the five thousand-seat capacity international conference center, also eighty percent completed? If Kalu should claim he has not seen the new functional Industrial market before the University of Agriculture Umudike, would he be justified to say he has not seen the Umuahia modern market at Ubani Ibeku, which is just conspicuously along his Ohafia Umuahia road? There are too many projects to be mentioned that space and time may not permit here. I, however, challenge Orji Kalu for an open contest on the issue of restoration of dignity for Abians by Governor T.A. Orji.

8. To ascertain how myopic Kalu and his uninformed Odimegwu Onwumere are, one has to compare and contrast between their preposterous claim that there is no restoration of dignity in Abia and their contradictory questioning of the sauce of money with which the wife of the governor, who through her Non- Government organization; Hannah-May Foundation, has been touching the lives of the less privileged by building a three-bed- room bungalow, with provision of water and furniture for such people in the state. It is for the reading public to assess and evaluate if indigence of a state who, hitherto, had no shelter of their own but through the milk of kindness of the Governor’s wife now owns a house should be said to have been impacted positively on or otherwise.

As I had earlier state in many of my write-ups, former Governor Kalu Orji Uzor murdered sleep in God’s own State, he would, therefore, know no sleep.

Literature Garbage from a one time thief and a loser. Only thieves will come out to praise T A ORJI. May be you are writting to those in GABON or Japan. Abia state remains the worst state in Nigeria. Is there any water board in Aba or Umuahia the state capital? Mention any road in ABA that is okay from its number one to its end. Mention any public school primary or secondary in Aba that has good structures. Mention one street in Aba without over filled dust bin. Tell us when last civil servants received their salaries in Abia state. Tell us if there is any road for trucks to enter ARIARIA market. Is better for Abia people to live with HIV than have a criminal like you. T A ORJI and ORJI UZOR KALU are saints when compared to parasites like you.

Am sure the writer of this nonsence piece is an AGBERO

ABIA is 100% better now than Orji Uzor Kalu regime. The man has mentioned many things and its left for us to verify. Shame on OUK

The jurist ibu onye oshi

I just wasted a reasonable 25kb of my bandwidth

Abia state is worse now compared to when OUK was there. @ poster, how much did they pay u?
my consolation to all this is that your sponsor wont stay in power forever.

i thank God for his grace upon my life that will always make me to know nonsense when i see one. i do not read this type of lubbish rubbish.
if the writer is normal and not a paid labourer, why are u talking about a former gov instead of a current one? uzor kalu was a thief and that is why abians now want a bishop so how far can this bishop take the state?
today, nigerians are no longer talking about shagari, obasanjo or yar adua rather we are talking about a jonathan that came on board with a lot of promises.
the question is, is abia now among the greatest states of the country? is one of the greatest achievements of ta orji not the ochendo avenue where he practically bought all the lands and houses in umuahia?
this idiot writer can doubt this or tell us it was from his salary.
abeg, unto the next topic jare.

Was Orji Uzo Kalu elected governor of Abia in 1990? Your argument is so weak. At least get your figures right. Democracy started in 1999.

Big shame on those of you from Igbere who see evil as good. Orji Uzor Kalu is the worst thing to happen to the Igbos. ABIA State rejects him

Whatever this silly man says... TA Orji pays neither salaries nor pensions on time. He has put countless families through untold misery and his legacy will surely speak for itself!

more are yet to be revealed as regard to OUK on embezzled Abia state fund

OUK is a disgrace,,period

starlett or whatever u call urself,ur just a big bunch of lies....u are saying false things and fallacy here....T.A is not owning anybody..he has been working...his work speaks for itself....T.A is working and am sure by the time he leaves the office come 2015,many will be wowed by the work he has done
