Obiano emerges NUJ Man award but was absent

This is not the story but such awards by NUJ should have been regarded especially when the person is in town.

TUESDAY REPORT CARD ,THE NEXT TURN by Mazi Odera 3/5/16

Good Morning my Governor ,welcome back to the state called “light of the nation” which literally should be called the “Evacuated light to Aguleri”,i thank God for giving you enough strength to spring back especially on the face of the tribulation caused by cattle herders  who were sent on a Mission to ALAIGBO ,just because we are been addressed as 5 PERCENTERS  and we still move on despite the glaring political ill balance designed to piss us off ,despite the Dollar bastardisation with the mind that majority of  the national Importers are Umu igbo and by desecrating the powers of Naira against that of Dollars  that it will drive us out of business and into crime but seems we are undaunted ,then every Federal project in ALAIGBO or say SOUTH EAST AND SOUTH SOUTH  were either cancelled and move to the North or scrapped and done with. Igbo Legis-looters kept mute over this new rape ,they felt at home after all it did not touch an of their personal budgets and extravagant ways of life .
At that ,ndigbo said and i quote “anyi no na oku ma uguru apua” [We are beside the furnace nestling before the advance of Harmattan ] ,so we took a stand and which include ,no size of NADIKE OGBOGU scares an old Grand mother for she have seen and tasted her lot before she gets to the present age.
My oldman we all remember him as the legendary SAGE ,like i said sometime ago ,he looked at me and confessed “Nwam inwelu onu ike,biko agbakwoluna ekperima afa” [My Son because you have a very strong and loud Voice ,do not conduct divination for a criminal ] .
That sage when he offers advise and seems the person in carried away with some hidden plot ,he will say “ana adu onye ori ji odu ,owelu obi na api mbazu”[ While giving advise to a Yam Thief ,He will be using his mind to sharpen his FARMLAND SPEAR for the next heist ]
Sir , i am very sad this very morning , i am sadly sad because my state is going down the route to poverty very fast ,the citizens are paying through the nose and i was trying to beg you to cut down your SECURITY VOTE, including cutting down on the executive spending that added no value , but was so shocked to my bone marrow when i discovered that the 1 Billion naira Monthly security Vote has been revisited and now with the approval of the IDIOTIC HOUSE OF ASHAMEBLY that you now collect the sum of 1.4 billion a month and give to the House as part of “Mechie onu” the sum of 80 Million Naira monthly and no wonder all of them are deaf and dumb and acting like bunch of jerks without parental training .
This is where i remember UDUDO NNOBI who sang and i provide “Posterity ka anyi na ebere akwa ,odiniru umu anyi ga aju anyi ajuju ,ife anyi na eme ala igbo jiri mebisia” [We are crying because of posterity , in future our children will ask us ,Our role while the Land got messed up]
Many may not like the way i phrase my words but since this CHANGE MANTRA ,we need to stop sugar coating and speak as people going through serious perilous time . Thought we voted for change but we got CHAINED ,but i digress .
So i makes no apology for my choice of words and address to those making the state uncomfortable .I know that with my style of writing ,i may have stepped on many toes ,if they continue placing the Kuturu infested toes on our progressive path ,i will love to step on them with spikes shoes .
Some will say that i am biting the finger that fed or feeding or will feed me ,but i assure us that any finger that feeds  me that is crooked ,should get ready to be bitten until it is straightened ,all the same i makes no apologies for any of the above classification .
That you give Victor Umeh 15 Million each month and he has the nerve and temerity  to deny the sum at MIKE MERCHADISE burial ,he said you give him only 5 Million is something that can be settled between both of you ,but we have a say on it because that is our state fund and also the future of our kids at risk  .
Continue throwing our money at him like that is something that baffles even the blind in our state .There is no basis for it ,if it was as the pre-agreement ,if you can turn Tiger against Obi who made it possible that Anambra North smelled Governorship ,a Hard core Mirage to them from all indication ,i see no reason why you should not kick Umeh into touch .. by the way ,this is when i remember the saying from my oldman “ife nwoke melu ibeya bu ngaa jiderem” [ whatever we sow we shall reap ,,,,what a man give to another man is like a debt that must be repaid ]
I am shocked that with 1.4 Billion against the 250 Million peter Obi takes ,yet there is nothing to show for it. Same with the 76 Billion naira Obi left for you in the state coffers ,unless we count the 3 OKWABE IKWUBE  mounted at AMAOBIA JUNCTION,KWATA JUNCTION AND AROMA JUNCTION , owing to the archaic and over primitive nature of that Monument of shame ,since all modern bridges stand on  Pillars and creating spaces under it ,so that other activities can go on under the bridge and also it will make a better sight. But what we are building is like WALL OF JERICHO where one cannot see the other side of the Road ,even is heads are falling you can,t see across and in case of accident or events that begs for escape the Bridge created  a dead end ,meaning that no escape route through it .
Having the bad architectural design of the bridge in sight and mind ,then we have to remember that each of that Pile of cement cost us 5 BILLION NAIRA  making the 3 to cost total of 15 Billion Naira ,for a bridge sorry, cross over built on a solid land ? as if we are all idiots ,well we know for sure that the three Monuments of cement will not cost up to 1 billion but moving on .
With Obi ,he empowered Vigilantes in all the towns and he Nipped Kidnapping into the buds and Robbery came to minimal existence in the state  ,though you came in and battle Ndi Agboro na Upper Iweka but  they are back now with Vengeance
That brings me to the most important event that happened in ENUGWU where all the South East Governors converged for a stake holders meeting on the recent Carnage at NIMBO  in ENUGWU STATE ,the Governors and other stake holders gathered and you did not attend the meeting .
I read some people say that it is PDP GOVERNORS  FORUM and i shouted ,isi odikwo ndia nma ?
If such security meeting should be trivialized ,it means that very soon there will be APGA GOVERNORS FORUM ? sorry i forgot that APGA has just a state giving to them by Okwute Ndi igbo and with that Fact ,the party must align self with other parties to make headway because ofu onye adiro eme CAUCUS MEETING .
In the days of PETER OBI ,APGA is only in ANAMBRA as it is now ,but he was the Chairman of SOUTH EAST GOVERNORS FORUM and whenever there is need for SOUTH EAST and SOUTH SOUTH GOVERNORS  to meet ,he always Chairs it with every other Governor feeling happy that they have somebody like obi to look up to .
How about with just a state under APGA and the Governor was the Deputy national Chairman of NIGERIA GOVERNORS FORUM ,so  let nobody give any childish argument that it was because PDP Governors were in majority on that ENUGWU conclave ,so therefore APGA governor stayed away .
Had Obi stayed away from PDP GOVERNORS and PRESIDENT ,i wonder how he would,ve gotten things done as we witnessed and which is a testimony that can only be pegged as ILLUSION to others .
Okwute did not live in isolation ,he did not Govern the state based on Nkea bu my party versus The enemy party ,he saw the state as one that must serve beyond party boundaries and that was in midst of Hostile PDP DOMINATED HOUSE of ASSEMBLE he excelled beyond imagination .
If Nigeria were destined to greater height what they need at this point in time is to buy gallons of drink and beg people like PETER OBI ,SOLUDO ,OKONJO IWELA ,BARTH NNAJI and beg them to come and rescue the nation and we all know that it won,t take them 6 months to bring the nation back to the path of greatness ,but seems God is angry with Nigeria and wants to teach us a lesson in hardship ,so he punished us with the present raiders ,but i digress .
He understood that alienating one behind a one state party will rather box that state to a corner and it will be a minus and never a plus ,so he reached out there ,make friends with all the PDP GOVERNORS and became their HERO .
Fast Forward to your rejection of meeting with SOUTH EAST GOVERNORS FORUM ,which is not the first time ,they have called the meeting many times ,one during the time Buhari dumped the CORE 47 at EKWULUOBIA and ROCHAS called for a meeting on how to tackle it and you rejected the meeting insisting that you should be the one to call the meeting even though you are the only Governor without Political history and cannot boast of swimming the Political waters of the nation and therefore lack the ideal wherewithal to manage such high class politicking  .
The other time was when other South East Governors met to strategise on how to reach out to Buhari and demand a fair balance of Power ,which you declined ,ran to Abuja on your own and as my old man will say  “Nezienu ka esiri gbue onye amu ibi nma,ne ka osiri welu zee” [See how they attacked the man with Elephantiasis of the scotrum and see he dodge ].
Sir presently APGA do not have A SENATOR but PDP has lots of Senator and the Highest ranking igbo POLITICIAN which is ENWEREMMADU called a meeting and you stayed off ,how else can you form a Caucus or get closer to this Political Big wigs ? ,they are not like PETER OBI who will over look the slight and carry everybody along ,this are Politicians who will mark insults down on a Diary and vow a pay back when it,s time ,so i will say in plain language that you did not ace it by refusing to attend the Governors and stakeholders meeting held in Enugwu ,as for ROCHAS we all know that onye nke afu bu MINUS ONE in all ramification .
MOVING TO END LINE –Sir ,i am telling you that the ANAMBRA BROADCASTING CORPORATION ,NATIONAL LIGHT which is ANAMBRA NEWSPAPER and the Library are among those yet to receive APRIL salary .
MANY MAJOR ROADS are still Gully affected and needs some palliative measure to arrest before the main rain starts falling ,as it is now ,if RAIN meet them very well ,the roads will impossible to navigate .
I beg to go off but stay on till next TUESDAY ,yours in the service
