Government of Abia State and Disengagement Policy: ‘Selfish Inconsideration’ Policy.

“ON AUGUST 25, 2011, Abia State Government issued a circular which directed non-indigenes on its employment to disengage and return to their various states by October 1, 2011. The only exceptions were those engaged in the tertiary institutions.

To give effect to the policy, the circular, HAS/S.0071/II/13 issued by the Head of Service, Mr. G.C. Adiele, directed heads of ministries, departments, agencies and Local Government Service Commission “to submit the names of all non-indigenes in their employ on or before 1st of September, 2011, failure of which or any connivance thereto shall attract strict sanctions by Government”.

Entitled, ‘“Back loading on transfer of non-indigenes in Abia state public service to their states of origin”, the Head of Service said, “I write to convey the approval of the Government of Abia state that all non-indigenes working in the public service of Abia state [including local Governments] be transferred to their states of origin with effect from 1st October, 2011. This policy does not apply to tertiary institutions in Abia state”. http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=277480446515&topic=19427.

Proposition for Prostitution Legalization In Nigeria: Senator's Identity Crisis.

One of the practices of democracy is the election of the candidates who represent the electorates in the various offices and positions in the government. As a matter of fact, the citizens who elect these candidates expect to be well represented politically, socially, economically, religiously, culturally and otherwise. It will be a contradiction and a misrepresentation when an elected candidate does not fulfill this obligation. And I strong think that one of the adverse effects of this failure will be the suffering of the electorate whose interests have been relegated to the background.

My problem is that up till now, most of our representatives in the house of assembly even at their age, are still suffering from cultural identity crisis. They still do not know 'where they come from', 'their language', social- economic background and cultural values. They are still faced with confused cultural identities and struggles in attempt of trying to find a balance in this multicultural, multi-dimensional life style rooting the the world today. At this point they are leaving touch of their rich heritage and loosing their root. This simply for me, is a shame. How can a man we sent to represent us in the house of assembly go there to tell them to allow women to sell their body or use their body for money by sex. Eh! Aru. (Abomination). And the proponent of this abomination is from a rich cultural background of Nigeria, Igbo land. A culture where a young lady before the puberty age is still innocent to the point that her nakedness is not' recognized'. At the celebration of the puberty age, she becomes conscious of her nakedness as sacred, and respects her body.
