ORJI UZOR KALU THE MASTER STRATEGIST AND LIBERATOR OF ABIANS: SPOT THE DIFFERENCES

When I heard About the Death of Ms. Chinwe Masi, On Thursday August 19, 2010 At the Potomac, United States Residence of former Governor of Abia state, Chief Orji Uzor Kalu, I felt a cold chill. I simply told myself, I hope it is not what I think. This is so because from my experience, not even an autopsy would determine the real cause of the death. I say this with utmost certainty and I know why. That would be a story for another day.

Again, when news of the abduction of fifteen school children in Abia state diffused to varying audiences, something struck me. Not that I had not been privy to several other gory details filtering from the state, the merciless killing of innocent people including women and children; the reckless and shameless rapping of women victims among who were also grand mothers, the wanton destruction of property and bizarre manner in which Aba, a city of fearless entrepreneurs was fast heading to oblivion, I strongly believe that the master may be at work. Aba decimated Rwanda in terms of gruesome killing. It made Somali a non – issue in terms of unclothed aggression. The number of persons killed can compete favourably with that of Iraq the same week Saddam Hussein was guest of the hangman’s noose. Who is trying to paralyze the will of a once bold and decisive Aba populace?

It struck me that there is a man I know in Abia who in concert with his family members believe that terror is the ultimate way to paralyze a people’s will to resist and destroy their ability to plan a strategic response. The goal in a terror campaign is not battlefield victory but causing maximum chaos and provoking the other side into desperate overreaction.

It stuck me that this may be a direct attack on the recent declaration by Gov. T.A. Orji that he has facilitated the liberation of the state from the stronghold of one family. may be; Abians are paying the ultimate prize of daring to disconnect the family from unabashed looting of their collective wealth, the decision to make Abians the trustees of their resources and disengage from the barbaric and life damaging strategies of a family that had held them spell bound for over Ten years. A family whose stock in trade is killing and maiming, that specializes in provoking their enemies into desperation overreaction.

The abduction of school children in Abia is not the crux of this piece. It only took me back to memory lane. It reminded of how a crime is busted in advance countries. Most of the time, you know a criminal by his modus operandi, you can identify him by his style and most remarkable by his traces of mistakes. What happened in Abia in the last few weeks can only be handiwork of a master strategist, any person or group who has or have little regard for the sanctity of the human being; a person whose pursuit for material wealth and ephemeral niceties of life compel him to do unspeakable things, whose crave for power can only draw him to debasement of the human mind.
The events caused me to have a quick review of my memoirs (they are no longer secret) those nine years I worked as an undercover reporter, following the Uzor – Kalu family and getting the minutest details of their activities and definition of power. Let me confess that I was fascinated by their show of solidarity amongst each other, especially the fraternity that existed between mother and son and the bizarre manner in which they unleashed terror on friends and foes alike.

Then, when it was announced on the 1st of October that the school children had been rescued, I heaved a long sign of relief. I experienced an indescribable joy that God may have started the long, tortuous but assured journey of liberating Abians finally from their captors. Their captors are not kidnappers who were in the bushes. Their captors are not the criminals who despoiled their wives and daughters. Those young men were only arrows in the bow of the real gods. They would still face the same fate that befell others before them. The people that recruited them know how to dangle enticing bait. But, their grips are firm. Isincerely wished that Abians would cash in on this temporary victory to consolidate on the bravery of their Governor, T.A. Orji who shocked book makers by sacking the devil, the monster and the cabal that had held Abians captive for over ten years.

Before I left Abia state, I had stood by the tower along Enugu- PH express way. The tower is so strategically located that East of it, is gateway for all those going to south East and south West Nigeria. You can access our south- south brother from the West and North of it. All northerners find their way to the state from the south of it. The implication is that from whichever part of Nigeria you are coming from, you would access the tower. It was at that point that I swore perpetual restlessness and shameful death for any person or group in the state who had strategized to kill people, cause mayhem and strip individuals of their future and direction in life.

Before you join me in going through the events of the mind boggling years of my stay with the self-style most powerful family in Abia (at least until the bubble bust in 2010) may we ask God to grant eternal rest to the souls of HRH Eze Sampson Ukaegabu, Agustine Agbarakwe; Chinelo Esinulo, Udogu, Victoria Momah, Ugochukwu Ekwu, sir Law Maduka, C.C. Ubani, Anya Oruada and a host of others who lost their lives to the desperation of the Uzor – kalu family. May we also ask God to strengthen the lives of those who stood like the rock of Gibraltar against their evil machination, men and women who God spared their lives to enable them corroborate stories like this and all those who went, saw and conquered largely for God’s graciousness and mostly for the fact that light must prevail against darkness. May we hail the invincibility of people like chief Allen Nwachukwu, Chief John Okam; Mercy Ukaegbu and even Stephen Amanze (though critically ill) and a whole lot of others who have fought and conquered death as master-minded by the master strategist.

Who is a master- strategist? Robert Greene gave us an insight into who could best fit into his idea of a master- strategist. The Uzor – Kalu must be good student of Robert Greene because their method of operation varied but gave the same result, which is; aggression in its most unclothed manner. They knew from the unset that, in a world where political consideration is paramount, the most effective form of aggression is the best hidden one: aggression behind a compliant, even loving exterior. To follow the passive aggression strategy you must seem to go along with people, offering no resistance. But, actually you dominate the situation. Just make sure you have disguised your aggression enough that you can deny it exists’’.
History is replete with stories of men who use potent strategies to positively advance the cause of their people. These men did not kill at the slightest provocation. They did not destabilize their various societies by inflicting untold hardship on their people. They did no crush opposition or apply fetish practices to wrestle power from others. They did not use others to cover their evil and make scapegoats of unsuspecting loyalist. The strategist known in history of mankind where those who defied inclement weather and strangulating superior power and forces to bring succour to their people. They were good losers and not do – or die politicians.

Mahatma Ghandi applied his own strategies to ensure that India secured independence from Britain. Kenneth Kaunda of Zambia shall be free fame; applied his tactics in promoting sound moral and ethical values. Today, we remember him not by the number of people he killed or suppressed but for changing the developmental face of a free Zambia. When Martin Luther King (Jnr.) pursued the campaign of a free liberated and equality driven American, he chose the path of non- violence. Today, he is a revered martyr and not despised by the later generation. Nelson Mandela was subjected to the most excruciating and dehumanizing condition. Even with presidential powers, he still promoted a free and united South African. He was not known to have emasculated opposition or eliminated perceived or imaginary enemies. We could go on and on to make a stretched list of men whose power and manipulative skills inspired their countrymen to seek beyond the sky. Men who did not have to secure assurance of loyalty by causing their aides and acolytes to go through harrowing oath - sessions. They did not have to make the use of cyanide a routine and quick to announce to the world that the victim died of a deadly ailment. Welcome to the world of Uzor- Kalu.

At the eve of Orji Uzor Kalu’s rise to stardom, I remember the amiable corporal Douglas who was his aide de camp (ADC) even as a private powerful VIP. I had seen OUK then as a firebrand Youngman who was consumed by the passion of making a statement that his generation has arrived. I valued his sense of industry. But, I did not particularly like his desperation and unbridled quest for political power. Douglas was soon recruited into his army of executioners. In twists and rapid turn events believed to have been tied to the same desperation to become Governor; the land of Igbere, OUK’s home soil was desecrated. The land witnessed the gruesome murder of her traditional ruler, HRH Eze Sampson Ukaegbu. It is obvious that neither the master strategist nor his accomplice aides envisaged the magnitude of chain reaction that would greet the death of the royal father. I watched a community disintegrated by the tactics of her own son. For years, Igbere became a slaughter ground with unspeakable record genocide. Brothers were pitched against their quiet of a once peaceful community. There is nobody of Igbere descent who would say in all honesty that Igbere has survived the domino effect of that singular incident almost twelve years after. A lot of families that were sacked still remain in exile. Even as Governor, OUK could not bring the machinery of the state to arrest the mayhem. He would not have because though he started the fire, he was seriously unable to put it out.

The family’s 28 Nweke street Aba residence was a military cantonment. The spirit of camaraderie prevailed. Everybody was strategically placed in a platoon. There were platoon commanders and quarter master. There was also a general officer commanding, a rank the master shared concurrently with his powerful mother. Take it or leave it, I knew that no major decision in the state could be taken without the consent of the mother- general. I like the regimentation that existed, everybody had common gaols, which were to do the bidding of the master, whip people to fall in line and apply the strategy of terror on real and imaginary enemies. I saw Augustine Agbarakwe, their Nweke security man as a quarter guard. He is no longer alive to tell his history. Austine was one of the foot soldiers who masterminded the killing of the traditional ruler. The family thought he knew too much and was fast becoming a security risk. Austine was tried and returned guilty. They sentenced him to death in a trial where no witnesses are allowed, where the accused cannot even apply conscience to epitomize the defence of his character. The poor security man died in mysterious circumstances. He was the hunter who was hunted.

Where is Chinelo Esinulo, the staff of National Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) attached as a detail to Mother Excellency? I wept as the poor girl was accused of concealing with the intent of Stealing, the sum of Five Hundred Thousand Naira (N500,000) in a freezer. This was just a case of calling a dog a bad name in order to hang it. Chinelo’s undoing was being privileged to have been told by Agbarakwe the gory and eye popping details of how the Traditional Ruler was killed. Unknown to them, mama was around and eavesdropped every detail of their discussions. There were many Chenelos who became victims of desperate circumstances. One thing I believe about life and it is true is that the wicked will never go unpunished. No matter how hard one tries to conceal the truth, it must surface one day.

What reason (s) would one give for not attending the burial of his close domestic servant or ADC? The answer to that question is found in the reckless manner in which dubious gods instruct their agents not to see corpses in order to remain powerful. I have also wondered if the day it pleases God to take away life of any member of that family whether they would still see the person corpse as neither Orji nor the mother sees corpse. At least, they did not see that of any of their close aids or associates who were believed to have been killed by them.

All the politicians who were weak enough to accept their oath sessions as directed by the Okija Chief Priest were either struck by strange ailments or died in mysterious circumstances. I recollect the dramatic manner in which one House of Representative hopeful, simply called Maja intelligently disembarked from a vehicle that was Okija Bound. The vehicle was packed full of mothers, fathers and youths who wanted to have a shot at one political office or the other. The trip to Okija shrine was to get assurance of their unalloyed support. Maja pretended to have gone to urinate but fled from there. This is just one out of the very many embarrassing stories associated with the Uzor – Kalus. A personality like Chief Allen Nwachukwu became a frequent story after one of those their trips. Allen took the oath but used excreta as an antidote. He was said to have destroyed the potency of the oath by touching human excreta on his tongue. Unknown to the beneficiaries of those oaths, the concoctions they took were mixed with cyanide that kills slowly. This accounts for the very many dangerous and indefinable ailments that strike most of these politicians. When they eventually die, they are either branded AIDS victims or such other killer diseases. The same oath brought stroke, paralysis and later death to C.C Ubani, former Council Chairman and latter Commissioner in the state. I expect Mercy Ukeagbu, their sister and associate to sincerely tell the story of the genesis of her ailment today. These are ailments that defy medical solutions and strange to scientific diagnosis.

A whole lot of others were not as knowledgeable as Allen. Ubani I. Ubani and Emma Omokwe were major proponents of the fetish practices. I stand to be corrected by the duo if the primary motive of the whole exercise was not to destroy the psyche of the recipients and cause them to die slowly on the long run. Ubani I. Ubani’s sudden exile to overseas was a response to the desperation of the family. Eleke Chukwu, a fine gentle man was Chairman of Aba North, crossed his bounds in romancing with Uzor – Kalus. If you ask questions about his death, you will be given very unsatisfactory reasons as the cause of his death, Truth is, Eleke did not die a natural death. They took advantage of his desire to get to the top to undo him. Steve Amanze is yet to recover from the after effect of the visit to the shrine. Steve serves in different military administrations before the advent of Uzor – Kalu. Today he has been reduced to a working corpse and at a pitiable state of not being married at a ripe age of about sixty. Just what is the need?

I was in the family residence the day security operatives allegedly came to arrest mama. The bulk of the so called resistance came from their private police. They have police and uniforms all in a bid to engage in extreme measures to deal with friends and foes. I have repeatedly said friends and foes because they attack their friends to destabilize their will to ever want to dump them. They attack their enemies as a statement that they are superior. Anya Oruada was killed by their own police and for goodness sake not by any member of the Nigerian Police Force as alleged.

If they do not attack their friends, then why did they kill Sir Law Maduka? Maduka was their friend and naturally was romancing with their estranged friend Gov. T.A Orji the same fate befell Ugochukwu Ekwu who was sent to his early grave for daring to dump Orji’s Progressive People’s Alliance (PPA). The question now is how many would die before they are reminded that the party is over for their family? Who would remind them that the tune of the Abia music has changed?

Of all those years, what interested me the most was the activities of the ageless mama especially her sexual escapades with young men and unsuspecting contractors in the state. What would an over 65 year old woman be doing with a thirty year old? It is so bad that any one of these young patrons who deviate from her bidding pays dearly. She either runs things with you or she runs it for you. Christian Kamalu and Dr. G.C Duru were at different times believed to be beneficiaries of these lustful tendencies. Everybody knows the story of G.C Duru and how they vowed to make him a beggar, falling from grace to grass for daring the dynasty. Again, the rest is now history. I recollect how the Father of Chukwu Udogu, mama’s domestic servant was taught a bitter lesson for daring to interfere in mama’s bid to direct the cause of his son’s life. Mama insisted on choosing a wife for Chukwu. Chukwu was sacked. Mr Udogu did not know that nobody challenges the earth goddess and goes scot free. The rest is now history. Mama’s method of operation is again different but still tied to the same unbridled desire to always be at the helm of all affairs including people’s private life. This was why she successfully masterminded the looting of Aba North (One Local Government that had long been converted to the family’s many estates) by her late boyfriend’s son and a father of her son Mascot Uzor – Kalu. As Council Chairman, Ifeanyi Ikwechegh carried on as if noting mattered. By the time he left, unpaid salaries of workers had jumped to a record nine months, the highest in the history of Local Government Administration in Nigeria. Nobody touches mama’s personal candidates as she pampers them to the envy of friends and foes. She was the state personified. When her woman leader Victoria Momah queried her ill treatment to the very many women who abandoned their families and households to show their obeisance to her, she was the law.

Lat us digress a little and talk about the women who keep vigil in her house to sing and dance for her. These women are in hundreds and had abandoned their routine family chores to genuflect for the earth goddess. They are either seeking for appointments or interceding for their spouses and most of time for their concubines.
They live, reflect and dream mama who they believe would be the author and finisher of their fate. Many of them left their husbands and families to continually pay homage to a mother who has everything but the milk of human kindness. They were being held captive as their lives and daily activities were apparently regimented by the earth goodness herself.

The same mama ensured that contractors in the state give a chunk of their take in projects executed. She ensured that the few young ones among them were victims of her sexual escapades. The reason she does that possibly mixed, first is to water her financial empire and most importantly to service the potency of her charms and voodoo practices.

The process of liberating Abians started with that phenomenal thunderstorm that uprooted fetish and occult devices that held T.A. Orji to ransom sometime in June 2007. It took another three years for Ochendo to finally denounce the family that had long despoiled Abians of their collective wealth. Abians have only one option left and that is wholeheartedly join forces with Gov. T.A. Orji who has almost mortgaged his life and future to wrestle Abia from this array of desperadoes. Ochendo should recall what experiences he had as Chief of Staff and take some precautionary measures. First he should commerce an unreserved destruction of the cage round about the tree in his government house. The cage houses a hybrid shrine OUK imported from Bini, and ought to be destroyed to fast track the process of liberation.

Abians should hold unto God and pray fervently that the conviction which propelled Ochendo to denounce them is sustained. The fight will not be for the weak as the people I know would pool all their resources together to turn back the table.

What Ochendo needs is to display sincerity of purpose and keep Abians on the alert. Having survived their first major onslaught after his historic abandonment of the Uzor – Kalus, Ochendo has garnered for himself the personality of a true hero of our time, breaking a chain that ripped Abians off and made them strangers to their God – given resources. He should not relent. He needs an orchestrated consolidation of the liberation process.


Whereas I am not holding brief for Ochendo’s information officers, I used the sequence of reminiscences narrated above to draw a line between being a master strategist and a liberator. At any rate, liberation is the only option to take Abia back to its pride of place, return her people to the glorious days when nobody could destroy their will and most importantly return the state to the status of God’s own state.

TEARS OF A MASTER – STRATEGIST; THE RELIEF OF ABIANS

As a school boy and a cob journalist – on training, we were often told to recite the popular saying that “in” journalism, some truths must not be told”. This aphorism soon became contradictory, senseless and self – serving when we came across a more populist one that told us, at all times and in all situations, you must serve the public good and say the truth without minding whose ox is gored”. I have decided to draw the distinctions above to find justification for the revelations in my own estimation and in pursuit of the universal principle of upholding the truth would definitely serve the public interest, especially Abians who had been hoodwinked for several years into believing that the strategist means well for them.

I have gone through the book, “the master strategist” and came to the utter conclusion that he the gods want to kill, they first of all make deaf. Otherwise, the book is a recitation of evil strategist of one man who took glory in regarding iniquities in his heart. Otherwise, Abians would have known that a man who prides himself as having his way even with criminals should not have been trusted with their collective wealth in the first instance. Orji Uzor Kalu, recollected how in one of his cheap – popularity seeking ventures at Eyimba Stadium; a known criminal at the Columbia stand (spot for criminals and miscreant that do drugs and narcotic at Enyimba stadium). He called the boy with strong instruction for him to return a friends missing car the next day. True to the bandits boast to his collogues that big boss says the car must be returned tomorrow, Orji Uzor Kalu’s fried vehicle was found. This is an account that he proudly relayed in print, if only to justify his mastery of criminals and criminal tendencies. It was the same primary and aggregated thievery that he applied and for well over ten years, held Abians spell bound, applied white wash kind of administration were what you see is what you get; worked in concert with his ageless mother and siblings to loot Abia red. He continued funding these boys through Akomas connection as a deputy governor that was paying her mother N30m (Thirty million naira every month) for him to be used as replacement to T.A Orji after eight year record as a governor. Akomas when he was his commissioner was arraigned in umuahia high courth for gun running. Today his boys are everywhere doing kidnapping and armed robbery.

We would be bothering Abians with facts already known if we repeat that the smokescreen he called successes in Abia have since fizzled out. Thanks to the truth. It is like a calabash gourd dipped inside water. No matter how hard you try to suppress, it must resurface. The truth resurfaced recently at a gathering in Igbere, were Orji Uzor Kalu himself decried how his empire has crumbled. He almost narrowed his blame to his younger brother. Hon. Nnanna Uzor Kalu; a member of the House of Representative who Orji Uzor Kalu foisted on Abians in place of an articulate, God – fearing and better candidate Chief Mrs. Blessing Nwagba. According to OUK, Nnanna is probably why all he has labored (?) for years have crumbled like a pack of cards within days.

Many, I am sure did not know that OUK has a younger brother who is representing Aba North/Aba south Federal constituency at the National Assembly, the House of Representatives to be precise. Nnanna is basically a sitting duck and Chairman committee on the deaf and dumb. He was awarded this flowery title because of all the years he has spent in the National Assembly, he had neither originated nor contributed to one single bill. Nnanna simply collects sleeping allowance from the National Assembly as each time tv camera captures him, he would be seen sleeping. Reason? He is OUK’s greatest mistake and a great minus to the so called political dynasty.

However, what Nnanna lost in quality representation, he gained in representing his family in the quest to control virtually everything in Abia. As soon as OUK left the stage as Governor of Abia State, Nnanna became his inward looking eye with which he sought to maneuver Abians and their resources. Nnanna would hardly stay in the National Assembly as he runs to Abia every other week to supervise his family’s personal business which Abia State was.
To tell you the senseless and poor reasoning of the Uzor Kalus, they had an unwritten agreement that Abia State would be shared amongst the three major players in the family, OUK, Nanna and their power drunk mother Odiukonamba. They however failed to realize that evil triumphs for a while. It never occurred to them that in no distant time, that Abians would see them as Egyptians who would go into irredeemable oblivion at God’s time.

Let us go back to the Igbere stakeholders meeting. While OUK rued the loss of Abia State and why he tried to sacrifice Nanna may be for scuttling his chances of holding on with Ochendo, a thought flashed in mind. When Gov. Ikedi Ohakim of Imo state concluded plans to dump OUK’s PPA for PDP, there were speculations that OUK would retire Ohakim prematurely in politics. He was touted to have mapped out enduring formulae to ensure that Ohakim pays dearly for dumping him preference of the ruling PDP. Two years on, Ohakim is still calling the shots at Imo while he saves a whooping Seventy Million Naira Monthly (70,000.000) which was what was giving to OUK monthly from the state coffers. So, OUK was not attacking Ohakim based on ideological shift or strict principles. He was mourning the loss of millions which Ohakim PPA Governorship guaranteed him in Imo. Otherwise, OUK had no business with the welfare of Imolites and would not care a hoot if they were impoverished or not. The same scenario has played out in Abia. If he blames Nnanna for loosing Abia, who would he blame for loosing Imo? God simply at work. By his word, we know that he that keepeth Israel neither sleeps nor slumbers. Abians and Imolites are called by His name and He is faithful and just to retrieve them from the shackles of wickedness. Come with me; let me lead you into the untold story of how OUK and his family planned to hold Abians hostage for at least fifty years. Let me tell us briefly why OUK may suffer eternal hurt. T.A Orji did not look him like a personality who would one day take the path of honor to denounce his family’s strategies of annihilation. Hate, looting and dehumanization of Abians. Ochendo painstakingly followed them to a logical conclusion as though he knew their evil machinations. He waited patiently for them to have a change of heart and honor the social contract they had with Abians. T.A Orji played along for over three years, believing that when you wait upon Gods time, your strength shall be renewed. If you think what he did by denouncing OUK and his team of cannibalists was all about second – term, then you do not know the Abia story. God simply used him to halt a programme designed to leave Abians in eternal penury and advance the cause of one family that accumulate too much for one man to handle during his generation. God used T.A to obstruct a life – time programme of recklessness; designed to strip Abians of their collective heritage and used to finance an imaginary political dynasty to the advantage of one family.

While T.A waited upon the lord, OUK depended on Abian’s lean and embarrassingly meager resources to service his business empire. Even with the global economic meltdown, OUK chains of businesses thrived and did not bother to cut their staff or other budgets because at the end of every month, he received One Hundred and Twenty Million naira (120,000.000) from Abia State government. It was a standing order and did not need monthly approvals. If you are wondering what somebody would be doing with that huge amount when majority of Abians lacked basic amenities, I tell you.

Orji’s Camp Neya mansion at Igbere, his country home has a total of seventy (70) administrative and domestic staff. There are at least thirty – six (36) suites representing the 36 states of the Federation. In the camp, you will also find presidential Suites designed to taste for all former Head of States of Nigeria. This is in addition to a world class golf club, lawn tennis court, swimming pool and a


Conference room. Recall that he had nonce tried and failed to host a CAF meeting in his conference Hall. This is to tell you the quality of facilities in that camp built with stolen funds. That huge edifice needs so much money to remain alive. Again, Orji needs money to revive his ailing businesses and service the non-performing one billion naira loan he collected from Access bank, so that if there is anything like meltdown, it will be felt in Abia; the state that was under his siege and that of his family members.
OUK was not satisfied with the millions he receive monthly. He made sure too that he had a majority take in the decision of who were going to be commissioners and local Government Chairmen. While he shared proceeds from Commissioners with Nnenna, their mother pocketed majority stake in allowance to seventeen Local Government areas in Abia State. It was therefore painful to observe that his family did not spare any single source of revenue in Abia. They were everywhere, from board membership to the highest post in the state. If you want to have an idea of what I am saying, go check out any person that serves as a Commissioner or Local Government Chairman in Abia between 1999 and April 2010, you will see poverty in action. In recent times, people had criticized the amount of money politicians take at the detriment of development needs. Not in Abia, they do not take home nothing, they account to one family such that neither the state nor the appointee or elected person goes home with anything. It was that bad.
If any one of them was lucky to have braved the situation and made a little more than they programmed for him, the fellow pays dearly for it. Their mother, who is the sole giver of power then, would lure him into contesting a juicy elective position. That would be your end because they had only one motive which is to strip you of your resources and bring you back to your knees, so that you will serve them and take an oath of perpetual allegiance.
While the party lasted, Nnanna carried on like the crown prince of the Wales. He did not hide disrespect for the sitting Governor. May be because the Commissioners and Local Government Chairmen were his family’s making, he carried on with them in so much a reckless manner. Severally in state functions, he walked in with over seven key Commissioners to the utmost charging of the Governor and other guests seated. He was able to breach protocols because apart from thinking the state belonged to them, T.A. Orji was overbearingly tolerant. His tolerance paid off. Abians had the last laugh. Today owing to the ingenuity of T.A. Orji, Nnenna and his co- conspirators that held Abians spell bound have returned to where they belong – oblivion.
Not just Nnanna, their mother was a big torn in the flesh of the state. Here was a woman whose personal security compete or even out – numbered that of the sitting Governor. She moves around the state with the longest convoy and still had enough to take his two adopted daughters to school. If you see the long security guards and convoy that convey two seven years old to school, you will weep for Abia. She was untouchable and humiliated the small and the mighty. I have always had a heart of forgiven this woman for her age and most level of education. I say this because her style smacks of absolute ignorance and bereft of sound moral etiquettes. I understand she did not go to even primary school

Here was a woman who made other women to abandon their husbands and family members to pay obeisance to her. The only thing these women would have to show for their long years of enslavement is the number of songs they composed in her name. Her house was the Government House, while that at umuahia where the sitting Governor, was simply an annex. Local Government Chairmen ran to her after joint Allocation Committee (JAC) meetings. She milked them dry and singularly strangulated development in these council. Today, Abians are free. They would be assured that even in the smallest measure, local governments will start to cater for their needs. If there is nothing, Abians would soon begin to see the dividends of what Ochendo would have saved for the state after denouncing them. We shall also wait to see in coming weeks and months, how far the dynasty would go bearing in mind that the two states from where they fathered their nests have broken lose.
Ohakim started it in Imo, Ochendo followed suit. In the larger political arena, the Uzor- Kalu led by their strategist son and brother is fast losing weight. It will not be long before Nigerians; especially Abians will begin to appreciate why the strategist, feels hurt and is looking for whom to blame from his many woes. Don’t forget, the Masi death is still hanging on his neck like the sword of Damocles. There are strong indication too that his links with IBB may eventually be connected to the twin Oct 1 bomb blasts in Abuja. While we wait, Abians should roll the carpets for quality celebration because the battle is over.
