Politics / Re: Court Grants Orji Kalu Leave To Apply For Order To Stop EFCC From Arresting Him by mrfreestuff: 1:38pm On Feb 08, 2021
MadamExcellency:



Stop this already. Do you know Orji Uzor Kalu's statistics from 1999 to 2003, he was simply the best, President Obasanjo called him the action Governor, visited Abià State most frequently to commission projects. Orji Uzor Kalu is the only Governor in Nigeria to pay mobilization fee for capital projects with personal money. Check it out with wikileaks. US Ambassador's account on Nigerian Governors 2003.

Everything about Kalu and Obasanjo fell apart when he reneged on being a one term President and secondly insisting on a third term agenda.

According to US Ambassador to United State President, Orji Uzor Kalu makes $20 million annually then from overseas businesses. Check it out on wikileaks

Forget politics, forget propaganda. Kalu is not my friend but I know his records and regime well.

Please stop being clever on this issue by sounding as if these evidences already presented and confirmed by Zenith bank and others are figments of my imagination sir.

I didn't forge those bank statements of withdrawal from Abia state government account Kalu authorized as the governor and it was not I that told him to illegally withdraw this stolen money from the government coffers. He also , in cahoot with his appointee, the state accountant General, withdrew stole money and diverted it to Slok. This is the same thing Joshua Dariye did and was served prison judgement.

Those accolades reminds me of those days when even HE Alamiesegha, self-styled Governor-General of the Ijaw nation, too was lying that he was being politically victimized and using militants to threaten Obj government, little did we know they are thieves. Same with Ibori. They were all PDP ex-governors now ex-convicts.

I am not surprised at all that Kalu is eventually jailed. They were fighting a brute like Pa Obasanjo yet they have skeleton in their cupboards by stealing. That is why I need you to remember that the biggest enemy of Obj was Tinubu and if he had something on Tinubu, Tinubu would have been in jail by now.

Finally, please stop saying you know Kalu. You don't sir. Those who know him right from his secondary school days are not surprised that he is morally bankrupt, not my words but words of his mates:




Orji Kalu’s First Day in Prison – How the Seeds Were Sown in Our Days at Government College Umuahia, By X UWADOKA




It turned out that Orji Kalu who came along with players like Okey Uduko, Ohaka, etc was anything but a footballer. It wasn’t long before a good number of his new school mates began to feel that he had opportunistically exploited the policy to transfer himself from a regional champion, Eziama Boys Secondary School, to the globally-branded Government College Umuahia.

The students were very proud of their school and of themselves, in the light of the very high academic standards they surmounted to gain Admission. It was bad enough that O.O. had lowered the bar. It was unbearable that one of those for whom the bar was lowered did not bring along the expected value in the area of football prowess. If the school had lashed at Orji Uzor Kalu at this juncture with a reprimand for what was perceived as deception, Orji may have begun that early to realize that there could be unsavory consequences for tricks of confidence. But he got away with it.

On arriving ‘Umuahia’, as Government College Umuahia is sometimes fondly called, Orji Kalu naturally hung out with his ABU (Aba Brought Up) colleagues, particularly the Ex Eziama footballers. He would religiously escort them to Lower Field for football practice. Junior students helped to carry needed materials like football, first-aid box, etc and Orji Kalu’d guard the items by the sidelines of the field as they practiced. After a while, he began to arrogate to himself the title of Team Manager. Again, Orji Uzor Kalu got away with it.



GCU is not a very easy place for students who join in any year later than class one. Such a joiner is called a WHITE SHIRT and subjected to untold bullying (refered to in the school as molestation, harassment and punishment) by seniors, classmates and even confident juniors. Orji Kalu managed to escape the bullying by pressing his false identify as a school senior team footballer. Infact, he even became privileged, like other players. They were exempted from promptness for breakfast at the dinning hall, they were not checked for attending Morning Assembly and even attending the first two or three lessons in class. Players would stroll into class long after other students had taken a number of lessons and were preparing for break. Lunch hour promptness which was a rule in GCU was also below them. Same for dinner. Whereas students that are late to the refectory are denied food, school players had their meals specially reserved for them and even brought back to the hostel. Such were the privileges that Orji Uzor Kalu enjoyed and appropriated by supposedly being a school footballer – which he really wasn’t. At this stage, he had learnt to play the system against itself. He had begun to note that rules are for dummies and that there is neither absolute black or white, only shades of grey.

Academically, Orji Kalu wasn’t the brightest in his class. Let’s say he wasn’t bright at all. But he was bold, audacious and pretentious. What he lacked in classroom strength, he more than had in social skills. By the time football season ended, Orji had become so entrenched in the system and, like many of us, he’d learnt how to play school criminal (‘crimgwo’). The problem is that he had learnt how to benefit from the underbelly of the school without ever paying his dues. He didn’t grow in the system and couldn’t grow the system. In his mind, he remained an outsider, appropriating any benefit he could and not paying any tax to support and grow the system. I’m of the impression that Orji Kalu remains till this day a WHITE SHIRT in his heart and in his head. On the inside, his school shirt never really transmuted to pink, our unique weekday school uniform. He remains a bird of passage, a visitor. It’s doubtful, for instance if Orji Kalu can remember that the school’s acronym, GCU was sometimes said to mean Grass Cutting University. It’s doubtful if he knows the underpinnings of the School’s quasi Motto, OBC (Obey Before Complain). There’s no better evidence of this than the fact that after eight years as Governor of Abia state in which the school is located, one didn’t see him raise a finger to support the many efforts of the vibrant Old Boys Association. It isn’t that he was not reminded. He had all the reminding in the world. But he saw our Noble Alma mater as a territory he conquered on his way to the top. To him, it was a prostitute to transact with at a time of need, not a girlfriend, concubine, wife or mother which features looped intricacies. I hear that the situation is worse with Eziama Boys in the sense that he doesn’t even want people to know he ever stepped foot at Eziama Boys as a student.

Around 1999 some of our classmates said they were noticing a claim in his public profile that he had attended Barewa College. And they were wondering if it was after or before Government College Umuahia. Of course, Barewa College is reputed to have produced more than a fair share of leaders of Northern Nigeria, including, at least, 3 Presidents. So, it’s understandable that an identification with Government College Umuahia would reduce his platform for interacting with northerners whose favor he may specifically have targeted for whatever reason. It has therefore to be Barewa College. By magic, Orji Uzor Kalu became an old boy of Barewa College, Zaria.

Back to the narration about Orji at GCU. After the football season, he became friends with Ukata (I think, the son of a High Court Judge). They were often seen together. I remember one evening when many boys drooled as these two boys strolled with Miss Otulaja, a female corper, down the long stretch that runs from from the roundabout near the Principal’s quarter to the Parade Ground. For all one knows, the young female corper may just have sought a stroll; but the interpretations of that party stroll had ethereal dimensions.



Orji Kalu’s association with Ukata enjoyed an infamous bout of publicity sometime around 1978 when the Debating Society of an all-girls high school had an interaction with the GCU debating society. Such interactions usually commence with interschool debates or quizes and end in ballroom dancing, with exchanges of contacts which mark the possible commencement of amorous relationships. On this occasion, Orji and Ukata disappeared with two of the visiting girls for a large number of minutes. At Assembly the next Monday, the Principal, O.O. Otisi made a public show of them. He said they had claimed that the two girls wanted to drink water, they took them where they could give them water. “And, I suppose, you watered them” the Principal added, to the wild amusement of students and teachers. Orji and Ukata were reprimanded and punished. I don’t remember what the exact punishment was, but I remember that I was mortified by the impunity of Orji Kalu and Ukata. That they were not expelled gives an indication that Orji and his friend got away with a slap on the wrist. Once more, the young man was being taught that there are no limits, no bounds. For a school that took breaking of bounds very seriously, Orji had simply achieved the equivalent of getting away with murder. In future engagements with the society, one will see Orji Kalu riding roughshod over laws, rules, policies, persons and people. Let’s face it. The Seeds were sown at Government College Umuahia.

I don’t know how Orji Kalu’s WASC result turned out. But I will not be surprised if it was a straight F9 failure in all subjects. His classmates didn’t expect him to pass any subject. Nobody could even tell if he was inclined towards the sciences, arts or technicals (Technical Drawing, Metal Work, Wood Work). He was just present. In the academic space, Orji Kalu may as well not have existed. Nobody could bother to contemplate his future with an University in view.




Orji Kalu lacked capability in all subjects. If he wanted to be frank, he wouldn’t lay claim to even average status in any subject. Particularly, not in English Language which was a natural Credit for all Umuahians. Infact, rather than just a fail in English Language, Orji Kalu’s classmates expected him to fail woefully and “lose his deposit” (the political language and practice in 1979 when we sat WASC).


GCU had and still has an automatic English language-improvement culture embedded in
(1) good teaching,
(2) english-everywhere-at-all-times,
(3) ridicule by peers and juniors for wrong grammar, and
(4) bullying by seniors for language errors. Even students who arrived GCU with terribly poor grasp of verbs and grammatical constructs naturally self-corrected after the first year. Orji Kalu remains the only person, living or dead who, to the best of my knowledge speak better English after one year in Government. I still don’t know how someone can form big boy with mishmash tenses. Even as Governor of Abia state, decades after graduating from our super ivy league GCU, he was still mixing verbs like a comedian immitating a poor village primary school pupil. The story of how he achieved this infamy is instructive and related to his comfort with self-destructive impunity.

Orji Kalu came into Government College Umuahia with a poor academic background from Eziama Boys High School, Aba. Having positioned himself as a footballer (which it turned out that he wasn’t), he would watch over the items of Members of the University Senior Football Team as they practiced each morning. While that gave him a sense of belonging in the school team, it robbed him of hours of learning in which he could have improved his verbiage. Moreover, as a privileged “footballer,” he wasn’t subjected to the peer ridicule and correction by which many of us improved our grammar. So, untaught and uncorrected, Orji emerged a dubious ambassador of Government College Umuahia. A fruit that in no way represents the tree. Even decades after he left secondary school and became Governor of Abia State, his English continued to be an embarrassment. In playing the system, he had played himself big time. Igbos say the man who tenders the wrong foot to an orthopedic surgeon in the hope of avoiding the pain that goes with the treatment of a broken bone will surely end up with a limp. Orji Uzor Kalu’s grammar limps. And so does his fate as he spends his full day today behind the high walls of a correctional facility – not as a visitor, not as a guest, but as a resident, a prisoner. Not a prisoner of conscience. But a prisoner, prisoner. Orji Uzor Kalu, the boy who came to Government College Umuahia over four decades ago with unsubstantiated claims of football prowess has become an awardee for a crime against the state.

In sentencing Orji Uzor Kalu, the judge stated that she couldn’t agree more with the prosecution that this ex-Umuahian literally packed 7.1 billion Naira from Abia State over which he superintended and shifted it in broad daylight to his private limited liability company, Slok. As I read reports of the charges and judgement, I couldn’t help but perceive that Orji Uzor Kalu may have gotten to the stage where he approached the stealing of government funds without sense, without brain, and without care. That’s what Impunity does. That’s what getting away lightly with offenses at GCU 40 years ago has now led him into. Impunity lowers one’s sense of caution. It endues the bearer with foolishness, assuring him that he’d get away with the present act as he’s gotten away with earlier ones. A false sense of reality. A false sense of right and a warped sense of the not-so-right.

Impunity has turned out a big betrayer. Over time, it had lulled Orji Uzor Kalu into a false sense of security. And time kept watch. Time has turned out again to be on the side of the law. Any lesson here?

MadamExcellency:


The conviction wasn't final. He got two steps before final determination of his appeals.

Moreover, Orji Uzor Kalu's case was a pure political vindetta. It was part of grounding of Slok Airline, Slok Shipping line and Oil and Gas because of his determination to contest for 2007 presidency and his participation in the aborted third term agenda of Obasanjo.

Buhari, Tinubu and most political big wiggs in Nigeria know and was part of Orji Kalu's gang in the struggle.

All those cash withdrawals stealing directly from Abia state bank account by Kalu with incontrovertible evidences presented in court are political vendetta?
If Tinubu has those evidences against him, trust me, GEJ and Obj would have put him away for ever.

Kalu didn't start today, I read the account of his classmate in Government College, he allegedly proved that Kalu has always being that privileged kid with poor academic and moral upbringing.

I just remembered how he became a student then as a sitting governor in the same university he was the Visitor. I just don't get it that you are attempting to twist history of this character called Kalu. Supreme Court never faulted the judgement. It was sent back on retrial because he is not guilty but because the politicians, as usual, influenced the transfer of the trial judge to appeal court in the middle of the trial but the Judge insisted on finishing the trial since he had already started it. As it stands now, Kalu is guilty of theft and a technically an ex-convict.

Abia state, sadly, is one of the states with less stellar leadership as governors. Even Kalu's successor was in EFCC jail when he became governor and spent 8 years of monumental failure yet today his son is the speaker and he is a senator of Abia.
Ha!Abia!!! That state is not lucky with leadership at all.

If this report is true then that Judge is playing with fire and his/her job by reviewing the Supreme court judgement that sent the case for a retrial.

Some of these judges never learn not to allow politicians mess with their careers. When EFCC arrests the judge now, story will start. The Judge is not above the law.

How does investing incrypto affect the naira that is already battered by poor economic policies. If i but crypto qould i sell and bw paid in dollars? Is it not Naira i would bw paid? Do you know the direct remittances that has been made possible througj crypto? Wall street institutioms are setting up investment units and funds to invest in cryptocurrencies. Im talking about Fidelity, Morgan Stanley and the likes. The US even approved its fiest digital bank and is even taxing capital gains on crypto. Why are they not complaining that it is affecting the dollar? Somwtime you people should read. It helps

US is not Nigeria and they don't change their local currency to USD and when their merchants recieve the funds to buy Bitcoins, they don't ship the funds in millions of USD to a foreign country first for a certain period before repatriating it back to the USA.

The average American does not pick up the social cost of the crypto business by paying more to buy USD and even imported goods and services inside their own country.

But for the wisdom and vigilance of CBN, we would have devalued naira again twice or more this year as the demand for USD to buy Bitcoin kept surging with the pressure on the naira to mop up the hard earned and dwindling USD inflows into the country.

''We Cannot Allow Operations To Begin At The Lekki Tollgate When Justice Has Not Prevailed''- DJ Switch

DJ Switch has kicked against the decision of the Lagos State Judicial Panel to hand over the Lekki toll plaza to the Lekki Concession Company LCC, IgbereTV reports.

The panel gave the company the go-ahead to take over the plaza today February 6. With the approval, the Lekki toll gate will begin collecting the daily charges from road users.

The toll gate was closed following the gunshot incident on October 20, 2020.

Reacting to the panel's decision, DJ Switch who gave a live recording from the toll gate during the gunshot incident in October 2020, kicked against the panel's decision via her Twitter handle. She wrote;


https://twitter.com/dj_switchaholic/status/1358060338118348800?s=20

It is high time Lekki Concession Company(LCC) sue her for promoting allegations that so far has turned out unsubstantiated, false and misleading which led to serious economic loss to them.

And prior to the CBN circular,Nigeria was No. 2 in the world in P2P Bitcoin volume . By that time, the economic sabotage of Nigeria by the sheer volume in this crypto has forced us to devalue our local currency naira twice in 1 year as they mopped up naira to buy USD and then exported them out of the country to a foreign country. Our inflation had increased astronomically too especially on imported goods and services because importers pay more to get USD as they got crowded out by crypto merchants.

Other import dependent countries should learn from our bad and horrible experience with these crypto instruments. They should regulate it and insist that only USD inflows must be used for trading them so they will not kill their local economy and currency.

Honestly,I struggle to understand the bolded.
CBN has been insisting that when you send Fx home, it should be handed to your people in same currency instead of changing to naira. The relief gained from that policy has been wiped off when people now use the naira to buy Bitcoin in naira from these merchants who now take the naira to the parallel market to mop USD, forcing the USD to gain more value as the demand kept rising due to the greed and promise of high returns from speculating on these crypto instruments.

So far,I just realized that they knew what they were doing and just don't care thst the rest of us are paying huge social cost as our nationally currency kept being devalued because of low USD inflow and the pressure they kept mounting on the naira.
Just imagine, mopping about N1.2T naira last year alone to buy USD and then ship it abroad when importers now need USD they pay more forcing the cost of their goods to go up and the rest of us forced to pick up the social cost of all of them including the CBN that did not act soon enough (but thank God did act at last)

You must have seen the circular from Central Bank of Nigeria directing banks in Nigeria to block the account of cryptocurrency exchanges. Doing this will stop us from depositing or withdrawing money to and from our favorite exchanges.

Little did they know that we will always have a way out.

The way out is making use of Peer-2-Peer trading option on Binance. 

What is Peer-2-Peer trading?

This is a kind of cryptocurrency trading where buyers and seller can send or transfer money to each other directly. And in this, Binance act as the middleman.

How is it done?
First, create an account with Binance and verify your identity.
Navigate to the P2P section and add your payment option.
When you want to buy coins, you will choose a vendor of your choice and pay to his/her account and then the coins will be in your Binance wallets. When you sell, the money will be paid to your local bank by the buyer.

Watch the video on how to do Peer-2-Peer trading on Binance: CLICK HERE


You are still using the banks. In this era of BVN, your inflow maybe confiscated as the origin of the inflow will be traced.
Just think twice before using or recommending it. By next week, the effect of the circular will be more pronounced.


The leader of the world’s biggest crypto exchange, Changpeng Zhao recently disclosed that Binance was complying with Nigeria’s Apex bank directive and has disabled deposits to prevent more NGN from coming in.

I think you missed my analysis too. What were we doing right when naira was around 150-180+. Don't feign ignorance of what's going on. You want to pin everything to crypto when there is little or no development going on in the country.

The stupid CBN never thought of how they can regulate and generate income from crypto.

Take paystack that was acquired by Swipe a company utilizing blockchain and have its own coin SXP as example. We have lot of similar companies that would have thrived but for crazy policies.

Have you tried checking P2Ps in Nigeria.

Crypto is not the cause and not part of the cause of naira downfall. We will only improve Ghana, Benin economy with this ban.

No amount of attempts to confuse us will work sir.
You don't have the information as much as CBN and BuyCoin which quoted that last year, $200m bought with naira was being shipped out to foreign countries every month .That is N1.2T being tied down idly !!
Yet this number keeps growing because of insatiable greed while the rest of us keep paying the social cost.
If Ghana and others want to destroy their economy by hosting people who will be shipping their hard earned USD overseas, they can go ahead and host such economic sabotage.

These countries can't even provide the kind of huge demand of monthly USD demand and if they do, they will seize and trap those funds with one policy and datsall.

Remember, you will still change the Bitcoin back to naira to spend in an economy you robbed of the returns on the value stored in it.

Just 1 year run of it, naira has been devalued twice and you still don't get it that mopping and exporting $200 million monthly when you earn less USD inflow is suicidal and can never be sustained?
It is the greed that eventually exposed how the business is practically killing the rest of us not in it.
