NWAFOR ORIZU: CROOK, CONVICT TURNED SENATE PRESIDENT

Dr Abyssinia Akweke Nwafor Orizu (1920—1999) being a crook should never have held any political office had Nigeria been a proper country.

In 1946, Orizu presided over a new form of heartless fraud. Families and whole villages in the East sold their possessions to send a single student from their village to university because like Awolowo, they were passionate for the benefit of good education.

Orizu a PhD holder, formed an agency, American Council on African Education (ACAE) to process these village students admission into American universities. He collected the maintenance funds from their parents and other sponsors and diverted them partly or totally to other personal and business schemes.

In 1947, two prominent African-Americans Alain Locke and George Schulyer resigned over Orizu’s conduct of affairs.

Horace Mann Bond, the African-American president of Lincoln University in Pennsylvania who provided Orizu’s agency with many tuition-free scholarships complained regularly and bitterly about Orizu’s failure to financially support the students whom Orizu had placed in his school.

The 32-year-old Orizu was found out and on 2nd of February 1953 was arrested.

Azikiwe, Mbonu Ojike and Kola Balogun went to bail him out. On 9th February, his brother Joseph Onyekusi Orizu was arrested in Gusau and taken to Port Harcourt.

On 12th February both brothers were charged in a statement that read:

“That you between May 1, 1946 and December 31, 1951 at Port Harcourt, in the Port Harcourt Magisterial District, conspired together with other persons unknown to defraud such person as might be induced to deposit money with you as officers and agents of a body known as the American Council on African Education Incorporated, and you thereby committed an offence punishable under the Criminal code.”

When their lawyer told the court that Orizu was a honourable man, a PhD holder, a royal Prince in Nnewi, a member of the regional legislature, and also Azikiwe’s nominee for Minister of Local Government, Magistrate Dickson retorted:

''This court is not a department under the Government and it is not subject to any political party.”

Orizu was later jailed for 7 years. On Tuesday 22nd September 1953, he arrived the Lagos Prison by train under escort to serve his term.

At the House of Commons debate of April 29, 1953, James Johnson the MP for Kingston upon Hull West berated Oliver Lyttelton, the Secretary of Colonies for taking so long to arrest the Orizu brothers:

“Is not it somewhat disgraceful that it has taken so long to investigate this case of defrauding parents and students? Hence allowing him to cause untold hardship to his own people?''

The logic behind the rule was that the government was a sacred job; if crooks were allowed to determine the destiny of the people, the people would suffer indefinitely.

Mbonu Ojike, Nnamdi Azikiwe and Ozumba Mbadiwe started to entrench the false narrative that Orizu was convicted by the British colonial government not for embezzlement but as a revenge for his fiery anti-colonial speech given at the 1947 Enugu Coal riots rally.

Never mind that more important figures such as H.O. Davies also gave fiery speeches at the rally too but were not fraudsters hence not fated for conviction by the colonial government. But in the case of Orizu, colonialism became the excuse for a crook to be turned into a national hero.

Azikiwe made Orizu whole by nominating him unopposed to represent Nnewi in the Federal elections of 1959 that ushered in self-rule.

The existence of colonialism provided Nigeria’s moral system the perfect excuse to develop and strengthen the disdain for the objective perception of value on which any civilised society must rest. When colonialism expired in 1960, the disdain remained alive and thriving through the force of habit.

In 1961 for instance, Dr Okejukwu Ikejiani the Pro-Chancellor of University of Ibadan was caught lying about a certificate he never had.

A visiting scholar from University of Toronto who happened to be from the same department which allegedly awarded Ikejiani’s certificate was the first to point out that Ikejiani never had that esteemed Doctor of Science degree.

Ibadan erupted and there were calls for Ikejiani to resign and be prosecuted. To Azikiwe who was the Head of Government, the visitor to the university and in charge of such appointments, Ikejiani was being “persecuted” because he, Azikiwe, had dared to appoint another Igbo after Francis Ibiam as the Pro-chancellor and head of the governing council of a flagship Federal University in a non-Igbo region in particular when the Vice chancellor was already an Igbo.

Before departing Toronto University where he rightly earned his undergraduate medical degree, Ikejiani seduced and frequently unhooked the lovely secretary at the Vice Chancellor’s office until she embossed a Doctor of Science certificate in his name complete with authentic signatures but with no education behind it.

After the Toronto University investigation into the matter, the secretary realised her wrongdoing and quietly accepted her dismissal. But that was Canada.

In Nigeria, one of the criteria of eligibility for being considered a national hero was to be a bonafide crook.

When Ikejiani was forced to finally resign, being a medical doctor, Azikiwe made him whole like Orizu by appointing him to the State House as one of his personal physicians. He was not done: Azikiwe then reappointed him again to his former unfilled post less than two years later. He still was not done: In 1964, Azikiwe decorated him with the national honour – Commander of the Order of the Niger (CON) – pun unintended – ‘for his service to the nation.’

If anyone is interested in why Nigeria ended up being a pit latrine of implacable corruption where intelligence cannot assert itself in the conduct of public affairs, the Orizu and Ikejiani Affair is where to begin.

Azikiwe put into disorder all considerations based on value. And the absence of the objective perception of value produced the will to tribalism which eliminated the prospect of any meaningful progress for the nation.

you had a private conversation with a lady .... one Lady for that matter out of millions

u couldn't wait to bring the issue here .....besides what did she say that's so wrong ....

the fact she told you labor is a lot and u a man brushes it off like its nothing .. irritating .. about what men go through like what exactly (holding down a job and providing ? ),except providing what do u guys do exactly ?

Thank you for seconding her opinion!

I respect my Mum who single handedly raised my siblings and I!

I also salute all wonderful and hardworking women out there like my wife who refuse to become liabilities to men using their private sector as weapons!!

I respect and appreciate the pain women go through in child bearing but using sex and child bearing as a bargaining chip for anything even to whip up sympathy is nothing but dumb to me as it makes those practicing it cheap!!

More so, they are the type that use pregnancy as a tool for marriage. MEN BEWARE!!!

TIDDOLL:
Op, seems you misread what your friend wrote..

Take it off.

Take note of her reference to a cousin and what defines a man!

I Had a discussion today with a lady friend who told me a responsible man will not allow his wife to work or be involved in business!
In her opinion women are for SEX/BABY MAKING and any man that is not ready for such should not marry!!

sshyne:
Some people still use Malachi 3:8-10 to justify tithing? Let's read it from Malachi 2:1 (and now, o yeah priests, this commandment is for you). Malachi was referring to the priest not you and I. Tithing was under the law of Moses. In Deuteronomy 14:22-26 it talked about eating your tithe(23-Bring this tithe to the designated place of worship--the place the LORD your God chooses for his name to be honored--and eat it there in his presence. This applies to your tithes of grain, new wine, olive oil, and the firstborn males of your flocks and herds. Doing this will teach you always to fear the LORD your God. 24-Now when the LORD your God blesses you with a good harvest, the place of worship he chooses for his name to be honored might be too far for you to bring the tithe. 25-If so, you may sell the tithe portion of your crops and herds, put the money in a pouch, and go to the place the LORD your God has chosen. 26-When you arrive, you may use the money to buy any kind of food you want--cattle, sheep, goats, wine, or other ALCOHOLIC DRINK. Then feast there in the presence of the LORD your God and celebrate with your household.)
I nodded the alcoholic drink so as to show you they drank alcohol in the bible meaning all those pastors lied to us.

Am sure most people have never come across that bible verse before, your pastors will never read it because it won't favor there teachings
Tithing according to the law was on crops, animals and wine and not everyone was allowed to tithe. Am just trying to tell you what tithing meant in the Old Testament.
TITHING IS OF THE LAW
In matthew 23:23 (What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens, but you ignore the more important aspects of the law--justice, mercy, and faith. You should tithe, yes, but do not neglect the more important things.)

In this chapter Jesus was condemning the teachers of religious law and the religion then was Judaism (hope you know Christianity didn't start until after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ). Jesus confirm that tithing is of the law (you ignore the most important aspect of the law, meaning tithing is an aspect of the law).
Jesus came to fulfill all that was written in the Law and the Prophets. All of it was pointing to him, even where it is not explicitly prophetic. He accomplishes what the Law required.

“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.” (Matthew 5:17–18)

All the promises of God in the Old Testament are fulfilled in Jesus Christ. That is, when you have Christ, sooner or later you will have both Christ himself and all else that God promised through Christ.

For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our Amen to God for his glory. (2 Corinthians 1:20)

The law was kept perfectly by Christ. And all its penalties against God’s sinful people were poured out on Christ. Therefore, the law is now manifestly not the path to righteousness; Christ is. The ultimate goal of the law is that we would look to Christ, not law-keeping, for our righteousness.

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. (Romans 10:4)

In Romans 3:26-28 we were made to understand that we are made right with God not by keeping the law but by faith (26-for he was looking ahead and including them in what he would do in this present time. God did this to demonstrate his righteousness, for he himself is fair and just, and he declares sinners to be right in his sight when they believe in Jesus. 27-Can we boast, then, that we have done anything to be accepted by God? No, because our acquittal is not based on obeying the law. It is based on faith. 28-So we are made right with God through faith and not by obeying the law.)

Jesus never talked about that tithe, he never collected or paid tithe, his disciples never collected or paid tithe. And in John 14:26(But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative--that is, the Holy Spirit--he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you.) he never told us to pay tithe so the Holy Spirit can't bring to our remembrance what Jesus Christ didn't teach us.

Any pastor saying the Holy Spirit ministered tithing to him is a liar from the pit of hell.

The only way you can give to God is to give to the poor, orphans, widows (the needy in general)
Matthew 25:31-46 (study it). Let me just stop here

I hope that I am able to convince you and not confuse you that tithing is of the law and not for Christians.

Have a lovely day

Ok

Some of you deserve to be put in an asylum for having ill functioning brains.
So the police would deliberately push him out to kill him.For what purpose?That Dino being alive has stopped them from receiving their salaries,collecting bribe money or having their promotions put on hold?

Biaming

She was asked to go and confess to her husband and ask for forgiveness. She was told that unless she is forgiven and not divorced from her husband as a result of the confession,only then will she be delivered from death.My wife and her family told me all of these. I then asked my wife whatatrocity she could have committed against me? She began to cry and ask me for my forgiveness,saying she sinned against me because she knew I was cheating on her about nine years ago. According to her,two out of my four children are not mine!..She got pregnant for a fellow Taxi Driver colleague of mine and had twins: boy and girl. I was shocked beyond words. I have four children. Three girls and one boy. The first two girls happened tobe mine but the last boy and girl arenot mine.Nine years ago,my wife claimed she found out I was cheating with alady who owned a bar in our area then. In revenge,she began to sleepwith one of my colleagues. She became pregnant and lied that the pregnancy was mine.According to the prophesy,after sheconfesses,I must forgive her and not try to divorce her. If I did,she will die. For a whole month,I left myhome out of frustration. My wife went into coma. My children kept begging me to come back home,I couldnt bear to see them suffer so Ireturned. When I did,my wife recovered and began to get better.Now,she is much better but I am way beyond mortified to keep livingwith this terrible woman. Sometimes,I am tempted to leave so she can actually die and suffer for her sins. I also wonder if the prophesy is true….I am now a bitter man. I look at my only son and realize he is not mine. I feel like committing suicide. I feel like running away. I dont want to live the rest of my life like this.If you were in my shoes,what wouldyou do?Anonymous,

My life took a very bad turn towards the end of last year. And I became a miserable man.

Around June last year,my wife of 13 years became suddenly ill.At first,we self medicated and treated malaria. After a few days,she got worse which prompted us to take her to the hospital. She was diagnosed on Typhoid,later high fever....all got worse after two weeks. By the third week,the doctors didnt know what the problem was. My wife began to grow lean and weak. Miraculously,she became well by the sixth week in hospital and we were discharged.

A month later,she woke up one morning and couldnt move her legs. We rushed her to the hospital where she was diagnosed with stroke. We became devastated. We spent two months in the hospital without any improvement. She was sent home where we began to manage her. Her family then decided to take her to a prayer church in their home town. Initially,I refused but I didnt have a choice,so I agreed. She spent two weeks in the prayer house where they were praying and fasting for her. By the third week,the prophet gave them a revelation. That the reason for my wife's sickness was because of an atrocity she had committed against her husband. She was asked to go and confess to her husband and ask for forgiveness.

It's clear that Fulani 'heads'men are being financed and provided arms by the likes of Ango!

In sane climes, this thing will be in detention telling security agencies his role in the cold blooded massacres that have become part of our daily breakfast show!

Oh! I forgot we are running FULANICRAZY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT!!

With this government, reinstatement and promotion of criminals is a normal trend.

If in doubt, ask Maina and the cabals!

Seems the author is writing about me!

Early marriage has the good, the better and the best!!

I pray for those preparing for marriage, may yours be more glorious!!!
