Very well then.l hope it is true that people are not dying of hunger but why is the NLC tarnishing thr rascal image according to you

When we are not in Somalia or Ethiopia!!!

It is normal for a retiree that is above 60 years to die ans i t is expected that NLC will use it to paint the government in bad light.

They are tarnishing his image because his leadership style of not planning properly and executing overblown and some dubious projects, landed the state in this mess.

When are Abians going to take on their government or they are busy listening to Radio Biafra?

It's the truth, Abia state government is owing about 10 months salary to staffs of Abia state university teaching hospital. Osun state own is getting more audience and broadcast because all the civil servants have not being paid. Even osun sister state, Oyo is owing civil servants the worst hit being LAUTECH teaching hospital Ogbomoso( the staffs have not being paid for 5 months).
Tribal and ethnic sentiments apart, Osun state is the worst hit of all the states owing workers.

What is even the life expectancy of Nigeria? Less than 55. That is even for less stressful places.

He might be a failure, but not in the class of Orji that you voted to represent you in the senate after 8years of dancing skelewu in your government house Umuahia.

You cannot say it is the worst hit. There is no empirical evidence.

Osun State civil servants are the ones making noise most and holding their government accountable and responsible, does not make them the worst hit. It makes other states look like dummies, if they cannot fight for their entitlement.

Maybe you are talking biblically beacuse our ordained number of years as a christian should be a minimum of 70years. Fine.

In reality, in Nigeria and other developing countries, it is by far lesser. We shall fulfill our days.

On the spot report shows that. All the civil servants in osun have not being paid for 7 months unlike in other States where it varies from a month to 10 months. Osun own is mass effect. Moreover the civil servants didn't go on strike until after the general elections.

Orji does not have projects that he started. Someone posted a picture of Ochendo International Market that he commissioned on NL, the place was just a thick forest. How more dubious can a leadership be?

Aregbe's problem is stubborness and believing he is wiser than everybody, taht culminaed in bad planning. As well as execution of some stup1d and overblown projects. He has enough projects that he started, but yet to be completed.

Orji and Aregbe are not in the same class. Orji has a First Class in Bad Leadership and Governance, while Aregbe is still a 2nd class lower candidate in ad Leadership and Governance.

We should stop celebrating mediocrity. A bad leader is a bad leader, nothing like first class or second class bad leader. The likes of Orji and Aregbe have nothing to do in governance. I will never support bad leadership. If our country is sane, Orji and Aregbe should be made to account for all their deeds.

It is very disheartening that some Igbos have singled out Osun as if it is the only state owing.

Investigation showed that Abia State, in the backyard of the bigots, is owing its workers 10months salaries. Instead of them to fight for their people, they are dancing skelewu with their joystick over Osun State matter.

Osun State's problem is a case of lack of good planning and overblown cost of projects while embarking on major capital projects, which are visible to all.

What exactly is Abia State's reason for owing 10months. There are no capital projects they can point to.

They should tell us the exact reason.

This was as at last month:

'' Abia state was listed as the state that had not paid its civil servants salaries running into nine months. The state is also said to be owing workers of the Hospital Management Board eight months’ salary; Abia State Universal Basic Education Board, six months; Abia State Polytechnic, five months; local government workers, four months; and teachers, three months’ salary arrears.''

Re: Abia State Is Owing Civil Servants 10months Salary by superstar1(m): 4:04pm On Jun 13, 2015
These are, certainly, not the best of times for civil servants in Abia State. While thousands of them were sacked because they are not indigenes of the state, those who are ‘fortunate’ to remain in service are not paid as and when due. Worse still, those who dare to demand the several months of salary arrears they are being owed are harassed, intimidated and/or summarily dismissed. The latest case involves a lec­turer at the College of Education (Tech­nical), Arochukwu (names withheld by us) who was fired recently for ‘insulting’ the state governor by appealing to him to facilitate the payment of their backlog of salary arrears through a text message. The said lecturer was interrogated and asked to beg the governor so that the matter would end. But to his utter shock, he was fired a few days later.

However, workers of Bende Local Gov­ernment Area recently dared the powers-that-be, as it were and took to the streets of Umuahia, the capital of the state to protest against the introduction of a unique formula of sharing the statutory allocation accruing to local governments in the state by ballot­ing.

According to the workers numbering over 500, the ‘Abia formula’ has created confusion in the running of the local govern­ment areas in the state. They also protested against the non-payment of four months ar­rears of salary owed them in 2012.

The unique formula

In October last year, the Abia State gov­ernment introduced a new system of sharing allocation from the federation account to lo­cal government areas in the state. A source explained it thus: “It is known as ‘balloting’. What the new system entails is that when­ever the state government receives local governments’ allocation from the federation account, the normal Joint account Commit­tee ((JAC) meeting would be convened.

“At the said JAC meetings, lots would be drawn with ‘yes’ and ‘no’ written on them and put in a ballot box. Then the transi­tion committee chairmen would be called upon to pick. Any local government which is lucky and the TC chairman picks ‘yes’, would get money for the workers’ sal­ary for the given month but those that were not lucky and their chairmen picked ‘No’, would not be paid.”

The recent Bende workers protest was as a result of the JAC meeting held for the shar­ing of money for the salary of the council workers for the month of December, 2014.

“The TC chairman of Bende LGA ,whose workers were still being owed four months’ salary in 2012, was said to have picked ‘No’ for the month of December. This simply translated that if they were not lucky during the next balloting which comes up in March this year, their December 2014 salary would not be paid even in May,” the source stated.

So, frustrated by the development, the workers matched from the Bende Local Government headquarters to Government House, Umuahia with the intention of seeing Gov Theodore Orji to intimate him of their suffering. But security men could not allow the workers who carried placards and sang songs of sorrow access to the seat of power.

One of the affected workers, who craved anonymity, lamented: “I have never seen this type of arrangement anywhere before. Local government workers have suffered so much under this government. The past ad­ministration in the state never owed us even one month salary, but now we are owed up to four to five months arrears of salary de­spite the fact that we now have enhanced allocation.

“What we cannot understand is this intro­duction of giving allocation accruing from the federation account through balloting when, in fact, funds allocated to each coun­cil by the Federal Government was enough to pay workers salary.

“We are talking about our December 2014 salary at this time and as we speak, we are not sure it will be paid in April. Our counterparts in other states were paid before Christmas while we celebrated on empty stomachs.”

Another worker said: “We’ve not been paid our December 2014 salary, not to talk of January salary. And from the look of things, we may not be paid the December salary by April because our council picked ‘No’ and our TC chairman is not helping matters by his lackadaisical attitude towards the plight of the workers”.

The workers are also demanding four months of arrears of salary they said they were being owed in 2012. In 2012, council workers embarked on a similar protest and carried a coffin round the streets of Umua­hia, praying that those responsible for non-payment of their salaries should die.

Investigations revealed that the new ‘Abia formula’ also applies to ministries and parastatals in the state. The result is that while some are owed for three months, their counterparts have not received their salaries for six months.

But how did the state get to this ugly pass? It was learnt that the state government is in­debted to a bank, which receives its money at source, immediately the monthly alloca­tions are made. So, according to sources, the state is virtually run with internally gener­ated revenue.

A teacher in the state also alleged that they were being short-changed in terms of promotion and the entitlements that go with it. Hear her: “If you are promoted in September this year for example, they will start paying your entitlement in January next year. By so doing, your entitlements will go into somebody’s pocket for four months. And instead of promotion after three years as it ought to be, you will be promoted after four years. So, one year benefits will be lost. In Abia, head you lose, tail you lose.”

I can speak for my ministry in Abia. As bad as T.A. Orji is, he didn't owe us any months salary. Though the salary may be late, yet he still paid it.
And I can also speak for Pensioners from the primary school, they have been paid upto February 2015.
