“We are very delighted and happy that finally, the JUDAS of Abia Orji Uzor Kalu has been brought to answer for his sins. He has boasted several times that Ribadu is his personal friend. I know he said this as to ridicule the anticipated action of Ribadu and his men towards hid theft. Kalu has impoverished Abia state and should be made to pay for it. He should not only be made to pay back his loot, but should be jailed to serve as a deterrent to people like his stooge THEODORE ORJI (The OKIJA GOVERNOR). May God help Abia state and its citizens…Amen.
Orji Kalu is a big disappointment to the youths and should be thoroughly brought to justice. A visit to Abia state will keep any living being dumb founded as to why Orji has been making all the noise. We in

THE CONTROVERSIAL MAN FROM ABIA.
No matter how one relates to him, one thing is certain, Orji Kalu, undoubtedly is a figure that can not be ignored in
Orji Kalu’s influence and role in
To millions of Ndigbo, he is an embodiment of what they have longed for in a leader of their generation and the 21st century. Ndigbo adure him for his entrepreneurship spirit, audacity and doggedness.
However, as a Nigerian and non-igbo, I am more concerned about other aspects of Orji Kalu’s personality. I am more concerned about how faithful is this man to
Fellow Nigerians, I am asking these questions sincerely without any prejudice or bias neither against the person of Orji Kalu nor the Ndigbo, a nation that I have so much admiration for. Infact, suffice to say that at the initial stage of the presidential election when different candidates were being proposed by Nigerians, I almost joined the bandwagon of those clamouring for Kalu’s candidacy not until I came back to my senses and carried out an objective analysis of this man both in terms of his performance as the governor of Abia for eight good(?) years and the way he went about his campaign for the Aso rock.
At a first glance, on the surface, Orji Kalu seems to have the portrait of an ideal Presidential candidate that Nigerians, and not only Ndigbo, have longed for; a very successful entrepreneur, two terms as a governor of abia state, erudity, youthfulness, doggedness, good health, international connections and a large following by his ethnic group. Unfortunately, after a thorough analysis of this man, I came to the sad conclusion that indeed “It’s not all that glitters that is gold.” As I have already written in one of my articles titled “How Ndigbo blew a very good chance of producing
However, I have more than enough reason to suspect or accuse Orji Kalu of being an agent of American secret service, the C.I.A. While I present my evidence before you, I want to appeal to you to assess my facts based on their merits, with an open mind and without any prejudice. For the sake of complete objectivity, while doing the analysis of the facts, let us try to forget at the moment our ethnic groups. Let us also seperate the man from his ethnic group and just analyse the raw evidence you are about to be acquainted with.
ITINERARY TRIPS TO WASHINGTON
As we may all recall, before and during the presidential campaign, Orji made uncountable number of visits to Washington, and held meetings not only with United States Congress men but with staff of the white house! My first suspicion was written jokingly in one of my articles titled ” A battle cry to reverse the poor state of the nation. (Part 3)(nigeriansinamerica.com). In that article, I seriously criticised Kalu for his itinerary trips to

Personally, I don’t know of any American or even African nursing a presidential ambitions in their respective countries who has travelled to
My suspiction became even stronger when Kalu eventually announced his presidential ambition. As could be recalled, the official declaration was made in

Dear Bode Eluyera
I am happy that somebody else has taken the pain to embellish my argument through another perspective against your erroneous conclusion that Kalu is a CIA agent. I wish to impress it on you that intelligence work is not a thing for everybody, it not an all comer profession, that you are academically sound or you have a commercial mind does not automatically make you eligible for a place in this corp. A small error of judgement on the part of an agent could compromise thousands of lives.
Areas of interest of nations are various, and those interest are distinct from one another, every nation has their commercial interest, political, military, energy, and communication to mention a few. You may not be wrong if you conclude that Kalu is an agent of American imperialism by helping to further American commercial interest in Nigeria and else where.
When Chief Olusegun Obasanjo was released from jail, he told the whole world through an interview that was published in most newspapers in Nigeria that he was in Australia when he received a call from some American government officials with the message that they have it on good account that he was to be arrested on his arrival in Nigeria by Abacha’s government. Obasanjo, said he told them he has not done anything wrong and he will be going back to Nigeria. what happened thereafter is now part of history.
Will Eluyera choose to conclude, given the foregoing circumstance that chief Obasanjo works for the CIA ? Will Eluyera also want to ask the following questions; why should American government take interest in the welfare of an individual, will he also like to conclude here that American government action amount to undue interference. If it was an undue interference I think it is a pleasant one, because this very action saved the lives of many who has been unjustly sentenced death by the goggled one and his kangaroo tribunal.
I was made to believe the Americans extended the same goodwill to Bashorun MKO Abiola, by sending words to him on his impending arrest on his arrival in Nigeria. What I am driving at here is that American government action in Kalu’s case is not out of place and it was not any different from any other action taken or pronouncement made on Nigerian political history. Do recall that American ambassador to Nigeria Walter Carrington took his zeal in trying to further American notion of governance and ideals so many steps further by physically attending pro democracy meetings in Lagos and other parts of Nigeria. The effort of those brave democrats and support of Walter Carrington helped enabled the seeming democratic atmosphere we have today.
Kindly permit me to ask, this question, who needs the service of a business man for the purpose of espionage if more than thirty percent of Nigerian senior military officers attended American war colleges [Fort Bragg and Fort Benning ] for their officers courses. Military officer serving in the diplomatic corp in various countries as defense attaches are ready source of recruitment for espionage activities, the whole world knows this. If they are committed to their nation and they will not sell out, those in the business knows how to manage such people especially through girlfriends Eluyera should tell the whole world what special training Kalu has acquired that cast him in the mold of a spy master.
On the war against corruption in Nigerian my position was expressly stated in these words
“I am not stating the foregoing to suggest that Kalu should not stand trial, for his own alleged sins, no far from it, rather it is my wish that Kalu and others who are being shielded should have their day in court” so where did my brother Eluyera locate anything that has any semblance to hypocrisy in this unambiguous statement.
Mr Eluyera did offer to enrich my knowledge of ongoing issues in the intelligence world through a story published in the Tribune newspaper. I do appreciate this and I thank you very much for your offer, but I am surprised that the Tribune newspaper recently became familiar with this activity. I got to know about this six years ago in Freetown Sierra Leone and I immediately concluded that if it is happening here in Sierra leone them it much be happening in Nigeria
Hello Bode:
Your article is very interesting.
We at NSLC had also been wondering about the irrational utterances and actions of Ex- Governor Orji Kalu during the past 4 yrs.
Your article now explains to us why.
It is clear now that that man must be a CIA asset and a closet Nigerian traitor who is unfit to hold any more public office in Nigeria.
American people should know that if their government keeps interfering with the political processes of other countries, especially African countries (whose people they enslaved and whose resources they continued to exploit) they should not be surprised when Africans not only begin to join the enemies of America, but also become willing participants in attacking America.
Americans talk about international terrorism but refuse to see that it is the actions of their government that provoke it.
America has not jet atoned for all its evil against Africa and as if that is not enough, they continued to interfere with African politics.
A military coup is long over-due in America to clean up its stinking cesspol of corruption.
In the near future, it is possible that Nigeria should break diplomatic relationships with America and expel all Americans not only from Nigeria but also from the whole of Africa. Enough is enough.

why orji uzor kanu being the centre stage may be due to he openly critise out gone dictator obasanjo.why not arrest obasanjo and probe him,evidence already he luted funds in his term,his main criminal.all major sector being privatisethis strategy obasanjo apply to acquire all this.
In addition,this has brought me to another face of politics in nigeria,but i dont see any reason why u.s government will demand for a citizen of another country.there is something hidden.but as a christian i believe it is only god who can solve the problems of nigeria not any politicians.but concening kalu ,i pray he never get away with the case because no one is above the law.
