The above was posted on the Facebook page of governor T A Orji. It would be recalled the governor was a recipient of a national award and is gunning for a senatorial position in 2015 when his tenure as governor would have expired.

Although being heavily criticised for being the worst governor, he believes it is the work of his opponents. T A is also know to be the best on the media. A trip to Abia would help you make a better choice.

Your critics say you are neglecting Aba and
concentrating on Umuahia, the state capital. Is it true?
That is what our critics will say and they will always find
something to say to bring you down. The criticism is
not correct; it’s false. You know, Abia state has two
important towns, Umuahia is the state capital and Aba
is the commercial capital. There are some projects that
you must site at Umuahia, like the government House,
state secretariat, etc. Aba also will need projects that
will be peculiar or beneficial to the town. The most
important thing in Aba are the roads, power,
environment, etc and we are not neglecting any of
them. When there was kidnapping, it was in Aba that it
was more severe than in any other place and then we
concentrated our efforts in Aba and we fought
kidnapping to a standstill. We gave Aba a conducive
environment and people are no longer running away
from the town. We have more resources that have
gone to Aba, given the nature of the town, but what
many fail to understand is that the money we put in
Aba does not show out; it is difficult to notice like the
one spent on Umuahia. The problems of Aba are many
and we are dealing with them in the best possible way.
Little money you spend in Umuahia is noticed. In Aba,
for instance, there was a road we did for 1.8 billion but
if I use such amount in Umuahia I will construct many
more roads that will stand out because of the
topography of the area. You will be surprised at the
road of one hundred million naira you construct in
Umuahia when you compare it to the road of even 500
hundred million you put up in Aba. Look, this Umuahia
must look like a state capital in all ramifications. Most
visitors that come to the state the first point of call is
mostly Umuahia, they may come and go without going
to Aba, so the impression they carry away will
permanently be in their minds. So you have to make
Umuahia look like a state capital. You see, the truth is
that we have invested more money in Aba than in
Umuahia or in any other town in the state, in terms of
power, in terms of construction of roads, in terms of
opening up the drains, erosion control, in terms of
refuse disposal. Aba generates over 5000 cubic metres
of refuse on a daily basis and you may not know how
much it costs us to cart away the refuse. No other
town, even Umuahia, the state capital, generates such
waste. If you leave the refuse just one day and you
don’t refuse it, there may be an epidemic there. It’s not
easy to do some of these things but we are not
relenting in our efforts. Our critics are saying that we
have neglected Aba just because of roads, of course
you cannot do all the roads in Aba the same time. It’s
one after the other but we are not relenting. Is roads
everything? If you have the best roads but with
insecurity will you still walk on such roads without
fear? I have provided a conducive environment for
people in the state to do their businesses and we are
not resting on our oars. Some of them that were here
what did they do to address the security problem in
Aba? There were times banks were not opening in Aba
but such things have become history now because we
pressed the right buttons. Before now many people in
Aba were hiding their expensive vehicles for fear of
being kidnapped or fear of armed robbers but is that
still the case now? If those that claim they did a lot of
roads in Aba are telling the truth, then why should the
people complain just after few years, where are the
roads they claim they constructed? Abians know their
propaganda antics and are not taking them serious. I
am a man that came and restored security which is
very important, I came and restored the health sector
to keep them healthy. Security is first and foremost
thing which I have provided and I have improved the
health services tremendously so that they will be alive
and healthy to do their business. It is sad that some
distractors are somewhere leaving the main issue and
merely talking of roads forgetting that roads without
other sectors in place will still amount to nothing. You
have to be alive to walk on the road, you have to be
alive to carry out your work or business. We are not
neglecting any sector and until I leave office, I will not
neglect any sector. You have to be alive to the roads
because construction of roads is something that is
continuous. You construct, it gets bad tomorrow and
you maintain it. It is something that every governor
who comes here will do but in the case of insecurity, it
does not come every time and when it comes you
tackle it head-on and still put surveillance on ground. I
know how much we spent when there was insecurity
here but now it is history and I am happy with what we
were able to do.

Pls I need to know if there is much maths involved in Edu/Economics.

I have a friend who studied Edu/Econs and have had to go through some of her question papers. There are calculations involved and that is expected in economics and shouldn't scare you if you knew your way about econs. But then as a fresher you might be surprised that almost everybody is starting from the same level in the sense that what you knew may not count much. Just come prepared to learn and you are sure to excel. Congrats.

Travelling anywhere when nine months pregnant is too big a risk, even if she is flying. I think you should go to the closest NYSC office.

not a bad idea. OP u may need to consider her advice.

Thanks mcdokwe, w live in lagos and we thought she would be posted to lagso or at worst ogun, since we submitted all the document of marriage certificate and even doctors report that her expected due date is 2nd nov.

so she really cant travel to far sokoto, the risk is our fear, and if she does put to bed by 2nd, how possible is it to travel by 4th.

if she puts to bed the 4th, then there wouldn't be a need to go afterall, but if she doesn't, let her go snd complete the process and come back. it is a good thing there is an active air route and hopefully affordable by you.

If only you live close.

You might want to visit the camp yourself if she can't go and see if they would allow for you to undergo the registration process on her behalf.

Pregnant women are not kept in camp for long and if she can make it there herself, don't stop her as there are facilities to deliver her there.

Her relocation would then be processed from there.


Congrats in advance on the arrival of the little you.

I welcome you all to the center of unity and tourism. I assure you all that you are about to have the best camping experience on the plateau. I am a batch B corp member on the Plateau as well and may find my way into the camp.

Safe trip to you all.

Did you comment in the Islam section?

on a front page new Islamic year thread.

Good one.

I see a Nigeria on its way to total independence and all facets of human endeavour. We got all they have and therefore all it takes.

As we push towards this, I advice they should not be in a hurry lest they leave unnecessary back doors which the west might want to explore to rubbish their efforts.

yes we can

PS. Seun pls remove the Islamic declaration from my profile. I am not comfortable with it.

doctorofgirls:
but u accepted the terms and conditions

my mistake, I didn't know the implications. But then why should it be so in a public forum with supposed secular orientation?

This spells nothing if our youths can't get jobs, we can't get affordable quality healthcare, if 5naira can't buy me a sachet of water and we still learn under trees and in open fields.



I am not a moslem, why should I be forced to declare what I don't believe? SEUN please take note and do the needed.

that's no news, he is the president for Christ's sake.

I call it political "seed sowing"
Afterall they are Still the group of people who will receive campaign funds.


Oga seun, please remove the Islamic declaration from my profile, I don't get where this is coming from or where it leads to. I am dazed to note that actual Muslims are not FORCED to make such declarations themselves.

I believe one reason some celebrity marriages crash is as a result of the pomp and pageantry associated with it and the ever squeaky mouth of gossips in the name of bloggers. Why must every little detail of someone's life be made news?

to me the best celebrity marriages are those who have managed to stay away from public glare.

I'll say u scratch that, I know it is difficult, but the phone isn't what you should bemoan but the un reciprocated love.

It's just material you know. Just let it go.

How can they tell between one used for commercial purposes and that for cheap and personal mobility?


Our government and irrelevant policies sha... Ok, continue.

How do we apply?

And the intrigues continue

No fears! If we could contain ebola, then we can contain this. All we need is the same or even higher commitment.

juzo98:

thonyokun:
That was a bad advice u just gave, marriage is 4better and 4worse till death and God will never support divorce 4any reason. If u re not ready 4marriage its better u steer clear of it rather than get married and opt for a divorce.

ogbeni, did u read my post in connection with the topic? I am not giving anybody an advice here, she's already divorced and people were saying how happy she was. My post suggests that since she was not happy being in a marriage, being happy outside it shouldn't be news since she opted out of it herself.

Hmm

Toktee:
that was harsh ok,someone used my account to coment on the topic,nw u hav to tell me sorry owk

I am sorry but u weren't sounding nice yaself, oya yell me ur own sorry.

aniobimartin:
which your girls?
You don high?

my daughter and her mother.

oliy24:
broda, this is not the matter of who goes first. Nigerians has been paying for electricity since the establishment of nepa and all will get in return is darkness, Nigeria are not daft and we can take it no more, no light no money, We use to pay nepa bill regularly before now. but now my bill is 85,000 naira and trust me, thats just the beginning. we are still going to 2,000,000. when the cut my light we buy anoda wire and connect, it just 3500 for wire

lol, well then, if you want to continue like that, that means you don't have the right to complain of epileptic power supply anymore.

Ice and freezey: The red-hot iPhone is bathed
in ice
"Then it hit me, my phone was in my pocket."
A passer-by threw a cup of water on Mr Lechter’s
jeans to extinguish the fire, he said.
And another man scorched his hand when he tried
to pick up the phone.
In a video apparently taken soon after the incident,
the iPhone can be heard sizzling as ice is poured
on it.
Mr Lechter claims the iPhone burned through his
jeans and boxers.
Sought after: Apple sold 39 million iPhones in
the financial quarter that ended in September
It had left a second-degree burn four inches long
on his leg and another on his hip where he had
pulled out the phone.
He added: "This was a surreal experience, and if it
hadn’t happened to me I wouldn’t believe it
myself."
The story comes hot on the heels of the
#bendgate controversy over the iPhone 6.
Shortly after the coveted technology was launched,
some Apple-lovers reported that their new
smartphones bent simply by being carried in their
pockets.
Apple said that it only received nine complaints
about iPhone 6 Plus phones bending after testing
15,000 smartphones.
Mirror Online has approached Apple for a
comment.
