N18,000 is still a paltry sum for the Nigerian worker.

Strike for 7 months.That can only happen in Abia, the worst state in Nigeria under the leadership of Thief T A Orji.

T A Orji is someone who is afraid of opposition.He has driven Ikechi Emenike, the only opposing candidate within the PDP out of the party.Emenike now has his own faction of PDP in which he emerged as the party flagbearer for governor.On the day Emenike was to formally declare his interest to contest for governor,the governor denied him access to Umuahia stadium & Ibeku high school.Mobile Policemen & military men were sent to barricade the entrance to the staduim.

Abia governor gets desperate

Faced with a barrage of criticisms over his alleged poor and unimaginative governance of Abia State since he assumed office on May 29, 2007, Governor Theodore Ahamefule Orji has bared his fangs against his perceived critics with a desperate demand on the Inspector-General of Police, Alhaji Hafiz Ringim, to arrest his predecessor and benefactor, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu.

He also pledged to provide “logistics” that will “aid” the police in their task of clamping down on Kalu.

In a personally signed letter with the insignia of the “Office of the Executive Governor of Abia State” (see bromide) and copied to the AIG Zone 7, Commissioner of Police, Abia State and State Director of the State Security Services, SSS, Gov. Orji made unsubstantiated allegations of threats against his person and that the threats constituted the reason he was not rendering good governance to the people of Abia State.

The letter reads in parts: “I am further compelled to bring the above facts to your notice with a demand that the facts raised above be thoroughly investigated and Orji Uzor Kalu made to FACE THE FULL FORCE OF OUR LAWS as his incessant threats is not only a violation of my right as a Nigerian citizen but a great distraction from the arduous task of rendering governance to the people of Abia State.
“I will avail your officers and men all relevant facts and LOGISTICS that will aid their prompt and thorough investigation of these threats.

“Thanks in anticipation of your prompt action and accept the assurances of my warmest regards. T.A ORJI, Governor, Abia State.” Daily Sun gathered that Gov. Orji for quite a while now has been searching for all kinds of excuses to move against Kalu since they became politically estranged, including peddling rumours and allegations that he was responsible for the pervasive insecurity in the State.

He has also been spreading wild tales that Kalu’s administration left a huge debt profile of N29 billion, in an administration he wielded enormous powers as chief of staff for eight years. Worried over the desperate moves of Gov. Orji to pin his weak response to the security challenge in Abia State, especially the incessant cases of kidnappings on him, Kalu had on December 17, 2010, drawn the IGP’s attention to the deployment of state apparatus against him by the Abia governor.

In the letter received at the IGP’s office on December 20, 2010, Kalu wrote: “In my eight years as the governor of Abia State, I paid attention to security. I never supported violence, political thuggery or kidnapping. There were no political killings and nobody’s house or property was burnt or destroyed for political reasons. Even those who saw me as their political opponent, I managed them well and gave them fair playing ground. We did not infringe on their FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHTS. The records are there and you can check with the State Security Services; I am a law-abiding citizen.”

Kalu further noted in his December 17 letter to the IGP that instead of seeking creative and proactive methods to tackle the insecurity in the State, Gov. Orji had resorted to ‘scapegoatism.’

“The governor has of recent been using state apparatus and every form of device to harass innocent citizens, especially those he presumes are in good stead with me, and even has it lined up to come after me. I have always believed that politics is not war but service to the people. I, therefore, appeal to you to use your good offices to look into all these excesses and please call him to order before things get out of hand, more so as political campaigns are about to kick off.”

I think we need change in Abia.The present govnor hasnt done anything in the last four yrs.No project has been commissioned since this man came into office.He claims Abia has been in bondage but he has been buying houses in Nigeria and abroad.A case is where he bought the entire houses in one street in Umuahia and renamed the street "Ochendo Close".He owes contractors billions of naira.He now set up his own construction company,New Idea, which is handling some of the roads in the state.This man collects N700m as his security vote every month.This man collects N30m on every oh his official trip to Abj which is becoming more often since he joined PDP.I reside in Abia and have friends who are his aids.

Jonathan strategically placed Ribadu in the AC to stop other stronger Contenders to the office of the President.Ribadu is Jonathan's man and will do his (Jonathan's) bidding's when the time comes. Forget Ribadu's ambition.This is just politics.

Just heard it on FRCN 10pm network news.

dinggle:
I sorry for my country. Ibos will be foolish if they think they would be handed a pot of fried rice. If GEJ wins he is going to take his 8yrs and the goal post will be shifted once more for the Ibos! As soon as GEJ is done, North will cry that they want power back, and they will beg Ibos for just 4yrs once they get it they will take their 8yrs full time! as soon as the North is done, Yoruba will come and say they Igbos loosed guard and they were mumu in allow North to come back before them, hence the North has taken Ibo's shared slot, hence the Igbo man will have to wait for another circle. Yoruba man will promise to allow Ibos import pure water  , chewing gum and even broom. Ibo business men at Alaba and onitsha we shout Owa! and give yoruba go ahead to run. But that will be the last wait before Ibo man will  pull out his Biafra flag again ! There is always something to laugh about in Nigeria.

*Yorubas pull solidarity gathering and remind the nation they are educated when angry
*Hausa pulls out their gun and threaten Nigerians of Military take over when angry.
*Ibo man pulls out his Biafra flag and threaten to print Biafra currencies in Togo and Cotonu.
*Niger-Delta man wears mask and goes to the creek and calls CNN to come and see how oil killed the fishes he planed to eat.

hahahahahahahahaha.Lolz.

I think it would have been better they capture him alive & make him reveal his allies and sponsors.I suspect JTF must have conspired with the state govt to kill this guy so that he wont be able to expose the state government officials who have used him in the past ie if the guy they killed is the real Osisi.

Focal places =

They still find it difficult to approve N18k min wage for civil servants.
