.........says the nation must move away from consumption to production

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi has urged political office holders to use their privileges to serve the people and stop them from suffering, ABN TV reports.

He spoke on Saturday in Umuahia, Abia State capital during a meeting with leaders of his party and some Christian leaders where he expressed disappointment with the increasing suffering among Nigerians.

Obi a former governor of Anambra state said some states are still owing salaries, gratuities, and pensions to their civil servants and retirees.

He said being in a political office is by the grace of God, urging them to stop abusing God's grace and serve the people well.

The presidential hopeful said a country where the cost of bread cannot be affordable to the people is not a Nigeria of his dream.

He called on the people to ask politicians questions on what their agenda is before supporting them.

Obi said Nigeria should be a producing and not a consuming nation, assuring that if he is elected the next president of the country, in two years Abia will become a major shoe exporter.

Exactly.

One of the problems rampaging the productivity and advancement of our country can be seen from the angle of mismanagement of available resources and diversification of public funds for personal use.

This act of gross indiscipline and grand corrupt politicians needs to be apprehended and voted out of office. We need a man with frugality and the ability to be accountable for public funds, and efficiently manage them for the successful growth of the country's economy.

We believe in you, sir. cool

Court orders Anambra govt to release N1.5bn workers’ salary arrears

July 18, 2014

BY NWABUEZE OKONKWO

ONITSHA—Reprieve may have come the way of staff of Anambra State Water Corporation and Environmental Protection Agency, as the Industrial Court sitting in Enugu has ordered First Bank of Nigeria Plc, Awka branch, to release N1.5 billion for payment of salary arrears owed them by the government of immediate past governor of the state, Mr. Peter Obi.

The order came as a result of garnishee proceeding brought against the state government by Messrs Enobong Etteh, counsel to Amalgamated Union of Public Corporations, the umbrella union representing the water corporation and Anambra State Environmental Protection Agency, ANSEPA.

The union had initiated the seven-year-old suit against the state government during Obi’s administration for starving them of funds, disowning the agencies in its entirety and above all left in the trail death toll of 232 of the helpless workers between 2006 and 2014.
After the court order, the surviving workers expressed gratitude to Governor Willie Obiano for accepting the verdict with sympathy and urged him to begin the resuscitation of the agencies without further delay.

The workers also observed a minute silence for their departed colleagues and prayed for the success of Obiano’s regime.
Reacting to the court verdict amid wide jubilation, Chairman of the Staff Welfare Association, Chief Osita Nwoche, noted that Obiano had simply shown a sign of magnanimity, as a man of conscience, adding that the judges, on their part, were fearless and courageous.

The people campaining for Tinubu and Atiku fall into these categories:
1) The paid urchins supporting because they are paid to do so
2) The foolish urchins supporting due to tribal and religious sentiments
3) The anywhere-belle-face urchins supporting because they see others doing so.
Which one are you?

The 3rd Class Philosophy graduate thinks everyone is an idiot like him.

The people you used your office to serve in Anambra are all selling Gala and La Casera inside Lagos holdups and sleeping under Lagos bridges. But no Lagosian is selling Gala and La Casera inside holdups in Onitsha, Nnewi or Awka. You deserve to be publicly whipped
