Why Anambra Judiciary
Workers Are On Strike Again
By Chukwujekwu Ilozue, Awka

For the third time this year, the Judicial Staff Union
of Nigeria (JUSUN), Anambra State chapter, has
gone on strike, crippling activities in all the courts
in the state.


The strike followed the inability of the Anambra
State government to keep to its earlier agreement
with the union before the last strike was suspended.
The union had suspended its second strike about
three months ago when it reached an agreement
with the state government to pay the workers the
Consolidated Judiciary Salary Structure
(CONJUSS).
Government did not honour the agreement, with the
Head Of Service (HOS) allegedly telling JUSUN that
the state was not in the mood to discuss such
issues now.


All the courts in the state have been shut to press
home the demands of the union.
Apart from other scheduled cases in the courts, the
National Assembly election petitions tribunal in the
state could not sit as a result.
Anambra State chairman of (JUSUN), Mark Ifezue,
said that notice was given last Friday indicating the
indefinite strike.


He said the union’s letters to Governor Willie
Obiano through the Attorney-General of the state
on the situation were ignored by government.
“We have no other option than to proceed on this
strike because we have done our best to
accommodate the state government in all our
programmes.


“In 2011, the state government offered five percent
to JUSUN promising to review it (CONJUSS). In
2014 again we wrote to the government so that our
salary could be at par with other states in the
country, without any favourable response.
“The head of service told us that the state is not in
the mood to discuss such thing now and that was
when we knew that nothing was in the offing,”
Ifezue said.


A lawyer who pleaded for anonymity, said the
Obiano administration was not willing to discuss
such now, as the state was battling with severe
economic crunch.
He said: “Look at the projects in the state, including
the ones left by former Governor Peter Obi, none is
going on, everything is at a standstill.
“Obiano should be open to tell the people the truth,
this state is in trouble,” the lawyer said.

gwuanyi Moves To End Judiciary Workers'
Strike In Enugu



Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu state
yesterday promised to set machineries in motion to
end the six-month strike action embarked upon by
judiciary workers in the state operating under
Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria(JUSUN).



The governor who hosted a delegation of the
leadership of the state judiciary led by the state
chief Judge, Hon. Justice Innocent Umezulike, also
frowned at observed lopsidedness in appointments
into the state judicial service system, pointing out
that such engagements at the level of all cadres
have so far flouted the provisions of Section 14
(4) of the Nigerian constitution.
“My lords, I have studied the recruitments of all
cadres of staff in the Enugu State Judiciary and
urge that future appointments should comply with
section 14 (4) of the Nigerian constitution”, said
the governor yesterday..


Ugwuanyi who addressed the judges at the
executive council chambers of the Government
House, Enugu promised to work jointly with the
members of the judiciary in finding ways to end the
lingering JUSUN strike as quickly as possible.
He, however, frowned at a situation where in a
federation like Nigeria one of the units would be
forced to pay workers' emoluments beyond its
financial capabilities.


He told the jurists who commended him for moving
into some giant strides barely one month into the
life of his new administration that "what puzzles
me is how we can run a federation in which the
independent feed rating units are compelled to pay
the same wages notwithstanding their revenue
differentials".

The Imo River was just used as a natural boundary but the villagers have their lands on both States while majority of their population are in Abia State. Umuebulu is not Oyigbo its Etche tribe and in Etche LGA while Iriebe is Ikwerre in Obio/Akpo LGA.

So because of that no patient or learning for 6 months? Why don't you add the backlog of unpaid salaries or arrears? How can you work on an empty stomach. Are you not aware of the special formula of salary payment : work for 6 months and get paid for 3 months plus deductions. Even their consultants are now on strike for lack of pay.
You are doing a good job defending him. Hope he's not our will not owe you soon
Have you read my view? The workers and Government should reconcile their differences for the sake of students. Thats my view. It is more or less an ego war. Government has refused to pay them for not working while they in turn refused to work until they are paid. What is your suggestion?

Did I go to the Enugu thread to post them? The Enugu-Onitsha road has been bad for years but have you seen anyone post pictures of it to condemn Enugu in Enugu thread? Ndigbo should be careful how far they go trying to tarnish Okorocha's image. Imo State is not Okorocha and their politics of hate should not extend to false representation of facts or manipulation of images to ridicule Imo State.

http://m.thenigerianvoice.com/news/182881/1/imo-deputy-governor-paid-unscheduled-visit-to-imo-.html

Imo Deputy Governor, Prince Eze Madumere, yesterday
paid unscheduled visit to Imo State Teaching Hospital,
Orlu, saying it was in concert with the Rescue Mission
resolve to transform the health sector.
Prince Madumere who arrived the IMSUTH complex at 9:21
am, was shocked that some of the management staff were
not available except the Chief Security Officer, Mr.
Nwanguma Michael who conducted him round before the
arrival of others.
While addressing the staff, he said the staff on-the-spot
check was in a bid to ascertain the punctuality of the
employees and the quality of services being rendered to the
patients.
He also revealed he was directed to go on fact finding on
the state of the facilities of the government owned health
centers and hospitals.
Prince Madumere however warned that the government will
no longer watch medical employees shortchange Imolites in
the rendering the necessary health services according to
the medical ethics and professionalism.
He further explained that Owelle Rochas Okorocha led
Rescue Mission government is in the know of the
challenges being experienced in some of the health
centers. He therefore assured the staff of governments
poise to go the extra mile to ensure Imo people get
intensive health care they deserved.
Fielding questions from the residents of Umuna Community
who expressed dissatisfaction over the poor quality
services and regular absence of Doctors at the IMSUTH, he
assured them government’s effort to change the psyche of
the health workers. He told them to be rest assured that
positive change will be effected in few days. He revealed
that Government is ready to wield the big stick to erring
staff.
He enjoined the people to follow the footsteps of the two
persons who laid complaints over their dissatisfaction. He
said Rescue Mission government was founded on freedom
and therefore enjoined the people to join hands to build Imo
of collective dream by demanding their rights and reporting
their reservations to appropriate quarters.
In the same vein, Prince Eze Madumere visited IMSUTH
Comprehensive Center, Anara, Isiala Mbano and another
outreach in Ogbaku unannounced. He expressed gladness
over the comportment of the staff especially the Medical
Doctors, Dr. Durueke and Nkem Echefu heading the
respective outreaches. He also encouraged them to ensure
they remain noble in their work
.
At Anara, Isiala Mbano, Prince Madumere also called on the
CGC administrators to also take responsibility to ensure
they play the needed role to secure structures and take
them as their own.
The Heads of the two satellite IMSUTH health centers urged
the government to construct a perimeters fence around
their hospital facilities and to give them sense of security.
They all promise to do their best to satisfy their patients
who are the reason for their line of profession and
employment.

Fear grips IMSUTH Staff over
sack threat …as Govt releases
241 names for Query
Posted by The Leader News Online on Saturday, July 25,
2015 · Leave a Comment
The staff of Imo State University Teaching Hospital Orlu
was on Monday thrown into pandemonium following the
release of over 241 names of the workers in the hospital
who will undergo query with reason of being absent on their
duty post. When The Leader visited the hospital, some of
the staff were seen loitering in state of confusion within the
premises of the hospital, while some were busy with their
over side function.


One of the senior staff in the hospital (name withheld) told
The Leader that the staff did not actually know the cause of
such development, but recalled that the Deputy Governor,
Prince Eze Madumere recently paid an unscheduled visit to
the hospital at about 9:15 am in the morning and ordered
that attendance should be taken when most of the staff
have not come to work, while some were already at their
designated places of work. The staff further stated that he
was among those present on that very day but was
surprised to see his name on the said list.



I feel Government should negotiate with lsbour instead of trying to muscle their way out of pride. The students are the grasses while Government and labour are the elephants.

What is the genesis of IMSUTH crisis? The Government got a report on lack of seriousness on part of hospital workers after agreement on increased pay. The deputy Governor had to pay an unscheduled visit to the Hospital only to discover that many workers were absent and did an instant row call after which he declared that those absent would be queried and sacked.

The spokesperson wasn't truthful. They rejected their salaries because of disagreement with government on salary scale not that Government refused to pay them. What they are fighting is Government reduction of their salary scale to be at per with other ministries and other States.

The assembly workers not Government house are owed because they rejected the pay on grounds that it was low. The Government wants it to be at per with other ministries. Its actually the assembly that pays them.

The judiciary workers on the other hand are demanding for financial autonomy. Mischief makers captioned it to mislead lazy readers.

http://okgist.com.ng/blog/2013/09/after-15-years-imo-state-university-graduates-first-set-55-medical-doctors/

At last, the Imo State University Teaching
Hospital
Orlu, has finally graduated 55 of its fifth set of
medical
doctors, fifteen years after. Okgist gathered that
the fresh medical graduands had spent not less
than 15 years at the medical institution due to
the period of non-accreditation of the medical
programme as well as strikes.
At the oath-taking ceremony yesterday, a
member
of the Federal House of Representatives, Jerry
Alagbaso,
who chaired the event, had challenged the new
medical
doctors to be good ambassadors of their alma-
mater and
uphold the ethics of the profession.
The law maker admonished them to be religious
in
discharging their professional obligations saying
“bear in mind that you have the supreme task of
saving lives first before any other thing.”
Alagbaso, applauded the Chief Medical Director
of
IMSUTH, Dr. Chijioke Nzewuihe, management of
both Imo
State University and IMSUTH for making the
graduation
of the doctors a reality.
Vice Chancellor of IMSU, Prof. Ukachukwu
Awuzie,
in his speech, had expressed satisfaction with
the
graduating doctors for persevering to the end.
Awuzie also appreciated their parents for toiling
day and night to make the dreams of their
children come
through.
The Chief Medical Director of IMSUTH, Dr.
Chijioke
Nzewuihe, described the graduation of the
doctors as historic and unique, stating, “under
my administration, two sets of doctors have been
turned out.”
Nzewuihe said that the target of IMSUTH is to
embark on programmes and services that will
make the institution a centre of excellence and
promised to give his best
towards the objective. High points of the
colourful ceremony were the formal induction of
the 55 new doctors after their professional oath.

PoliticsAnambra Royal Father Weeps As Domain Suffers Untold Hardship by abagoro(op): 11:01pm On Oct 09, 2015
Bad roads, erosion: Anambra
royal father weeps as domain
suffers untold hardship
From David Onwuchekwa, Nnewi
When a monarch cries, his subjects must have been
wailing to the high heavens because it is very unusual
for a monarch to cry.
This is the case for the Igwe of Igbo-Ukwu, His Royal
Highness, Igwe (Dr) Martin Ezeh in Aguata Local
Government Area of Anambra State, who recently
cried out in an emotion-laden voice for the federal
and state governments to come to the rescue of his
people who have been cut off by dilapidated road
network and flood disaster.
In Igbo-Ukwu, which has one of the biggest local
markets in West Africa, several federal institutions
are sited there.
The town has houses the National Gallery of Arts,
Centre for Black and African Arts and Culture, the Yam
House, and Old People’s Home and Botanic Garden.
They are sited in Igbo-Ukwu because of its historical
importance which stretches back into antiquity as the
origin of all migrants, including the Igbo race,
according to history.
But this ancient community, which is the home town
of the first civilian Governor of Anambra State, Dr
Chukwuemeka Ezeife, who did his bit in his own time,
has suffered neglect in the hands of successive
administrations in Anambra before Governor Willie
Obiano came in with little or no significant change so
far.
Apart from a lot of dilapidated infrastructure or non-
availability of them, the major concern of the Igbo-
Ukwu people now is the state of Nnobi-Awka-Etiti-
Igbo-Ukwu-Ekwulobia road.
The road in Igbo-Ukwu connects Imo and Abia states
and these are federal roads.
There is a particular portion of the road from Awka-
Etiti axis that cuts across the entrance to the palace
of the Igwe of Igbo-Ukwu, which is now completely
impassable even on foot, especially when it rained.
Motorists and other road users now have to divert into
village track roads to burst into Nkwo Igbo-Ukwu
market in order to avoid the portion of the road that
has constituted a death trap.
The Igwe said that many lives have already been lost
on the road because of its dilapidation.
“That road has been a torn on our flesh. It has been
bad for quite some time now and I have drawn the
attention of the Anambra State government to it
severally. When Mr Peter Obi was the governor, I
drew his attention to it on six several occasions, but
nothing was done. Governor Willie Obiano has come
to see it, but unfortunately nothing serious has been
done to address the problem.
“We learnt that the governor did not agree with the
Federal Government. We do not know what actually
the problem is. You know this is a federal road and it
is now abandoned. I think what Governor Obiano
should have done is to do the road and may be
present his bill to the Federal Government instead of
leaving it in this state. We are terribly suffering.
Besides, we are still grappling with erosion menace in
our community. A lot of houses have been pulled
down in some villages within my domain by flood
because of the bad road. When it rains, flood
overflows the drainages resulting in the destruction of
domestic animals, cash crops, economic trees and
household property. We are finished. We appeal to
both the federal and state governments to come to our
rescue urgently. We have used the little resources we
have to control the flood to no avail,” the Igwe
lamented.
Igwe Ezeh wondered why his community would be
neglected and subjected to hardship despite its
traditional and archeological importance in Anambra.
The traditional ruler said he had been restraining the
youths of the area who were boiling not to take laws
into their hands.

They should keep waiting for Gov Obiano..
Hey my Governor is Okorocha. More than 20 people have died from Government insensitivity to the plight of Obosi people and all you could write is such careless conviction of law abiding citizens.

http://sunnewsonline.com/new/20-missing-100-buildings-vehicles-destroyed-as-flood-wreaks-havoc-in-anambra-community/

No fewer than 20 people have been declared missing
while more than 100 buildings and vehicles were
destroyed yesterday by flood which ravaged Oduke,
Ibollo and Owelleaja layouts in Obosi, near Onitsha,
Anambra State.
Oduke and Ibollo residents have been suffering the
devastating effect of severe flooding which they say
was caused by the wrong channelling of drainage by
a construction company that rehabilitated Ezeiweka
road, Awada Obosi in the past leading to a surge of
heavy floods into their area.
On Thursday evening, torrential rainfall that lasted for
about two hours left the entire area flooded leading to
several damages even as parents have been
searching frantically for their missing children swept
away in the flood.
When Saturday Sun visited the area yesterday, women
and children wept profusely while men engaged in
rescue operations. Some nursing mothers, whose little
babies were later rescued from the flood, were also
seen clutching the babies after receiving medical
attention from the hospital.
Angry residents of Oduke layout had earlier blocked
the busy Ezeiweka Obosi road that connects travellers
to the Onitsha- Owerri highway chanting war songs
while vehicular movements were stalled for several
hours.
The protesters said they voted massively for Chief
Willie Obiano during the last governorship election
that made him governor and called on him to visit
their area for an on-the-spot assessment of their
problems with a view to addressing them urgently be­
fore they all perish.
Among the properties damaged in the flood included
two four-storey buildings still under construction at
Owelle Aja while several residential buildings, fences,
schools, churches and vehicles at Oduke and Ibollo
were either submerged completely or pulled down by
the rampaging flood.
Addresing reporters after taking them round the
submerged and damaged properties, Chairman of
Oduke Landlords Association, Nicholas Okechukwu
and his Ibollo counterpart, Chimezie Osuchukwu, in
their separate speeches, said that they have been
crying out to the Anambra State government to come
to their aid since 2013 till now but all to no avail.
They lamented that the problem of the area is man-
made disaster and tragedy foretold while they have
spent all within their resources to handle the situation
but help has not come from any outside quarter.
They lamented that that about 10 people have died
from the disaster since the problem started while they
have suffered untold hardship and economic losses
over the incident.
Putting the estimated loss of properties from the
current incident to about N2 billion, they called on the
Anambra State government to declare a state of
emergency in the layout and address the problem
holistically.
Also at the International Electronics Market, Onitsha
about 1500 shops and goods worth over N800m were
also damaged by flood.
According to the president of the market, Mr.
Izuchukwu Okoye, the flood came into the market
when the volume could not be contained by the
drainages along the Onitsha/Asaba expressway.
“Goods damaged were mainly from A and B lines and
we appeal to the state government to come to our
rescue”, Okoye stated.
Contributing, the Secretary of the market, Comrade
Damian Ogudike said: “We pay our taxes and levies to
the state government. The drainages are the problems
and the expectation is that the state government
should work on the drainages to be higher than they
are now”.
“You can see the traders insisting that the money they
paid to the government should be refunded to them
since their problems in the market are not being
solved”, the secretary revealed.

Let me give you a final education as I do not want to be tied up with Igbos who are determined to whine about other people's property, while trying to appear as a victim of injustice.

If the North picks up overnight and start scoring high in these entry exams, their cut off mark will be as high as Lagos or Anambra or Delta, but the number of Northerners admitted would still be the same because they are only filling their guaranteed quota without taking away what belongs to another.

If Anambra state or Abia state suddenly starts scoring low, by extension their cut off mark could fall as low as 20, but they will still fill up their guaranteed quota with that low mark, without any state taking what belongs to them.

Is this very plain principle of quota too complex for the educated Igbo to grasp?
You are right about quota but quota system is one of the banes of Nigeria. Merit is superior to quota.

We can also use it to bargain for power. If we have vibrant media house, we can use it to make or mar any government, like fox, nbc etc.. we can do better than we're doing now.
These genre will always remain localised while crossover hits occur once in a while. Oliver's "Biri ka m'biri" was a crossover hit while recently we have "Arabanko" a crossover hit from Bongo genre.

I support you on the need for export like American country music or Jamaican Reggae. Maybe we should have a strictly highlife channel on satelite playing Oliver, Osadebe, Sir Warrior, Obewe, Morroco, Bright Chimezie, Kabaka, Mike Ejeagha, Peacocks, Sunny Bobo, Ali Chukwuma etc. Such channel will be my favorite and I'm sure diasporan Igbos will be glued to it.

bonechamberlain:
useless lairs, so now it's now an opportunist crime by people, even after the so called boko haram released images of the bombers.
In essence to avoid collateral damage Nnamdi Kanu and others threatening Nigeria might end up as scapegoats of Boko Haram while the trye perpetrators go unpunished. Igbos were scapegoat of 1966 and we should therefore strive to avoid misguided utterances that will cause repeat of history. Let the guilty be punished for their sins.

And the reason Superstar1 posted this nonsense is to exonerate their Yoruba slave masters and indirectly pointing finger to another direction shocked shocked shocked and you guys said this ppl are Educated undecided undecided undecided...... wonders shall never end, This is so PATHETIC and SHAMEFUL
No matter how pathetic your level of tribal hatred use your God given brain sometimes. Fulani herdsmen are neither kidnappers nor armed robbers. They have moved around us for hundreds of years without such incident. This Falae's case is the 1st ever kidnapping either erroneously or correctly pointing at herdsmen. If you have records of any other please point it out. Herdsmen have always clashed with farming communities and that is understandable as cattle destroys people's cash crops and this often leads to crisis. Kidnapping for ransom is very alien to herders.

That's a Man who is planning to become Nigerian president come 2019 peddling falsehood at the expense of the entire Country for cheap publicity. No wonder he is planning on taking Oshiomhole, another fellow with a huge penchant for lies as his running mate.

God save us from APC and its continuous game of propaganda!
God save us from El-rufai/Oshiomole 2019 ticket!
Lol. We argued about 2010 independent expenses and many of you saTANoids tried to justify the waste. This Sulaiman is trying to be clever by half like his brainless master.
