Don Ubani: The Blind Old Fool Obsessed With Kalu – From Peter Eze

​

“I came home the other night as drunk as I could be
I saw a horse in the stable where my horse ought to be
I said to my wife, my pretty little wife, explain this thing to me
What’s this horse doing here in the stable where my horse ought to be
 
Well, you old fool, you blind fool can’t you plainly see
It’s nothing but a milk cow that my mother send to me
Ah, I’ve traveled this wide world over, ten thousand miles or more
But a saddle and a bridle on a milk cow I never did see before.
 
I came home the next night so drunk I could not see
And there was a hat on the hat rack where my hat ought to be
I said to my wife, my pretty little wife, explain this thing to me
What’s this hat doing here on the hat rack where my hat ought to be
 
Oh, you old fool, you blind fool can’t you plainly see
It’s nothing but a chamber pot my mother send to me
Ah, I’ve traveled this wide world over, ten thousand miles or more
But a J.B Stetson chamber pot I never did see before”
The above is culled from the Weaver- You Old Fool Lyrics
In Abia state, Orji Uzor  Kalu foundation has instituted a free loan scheme
It is mainly for petty traders and Artisans and has zero interest rate
The scheme has been very successful and many more people are applying for the loans
Don Ubani: “Why should individuals give free loans  to people?
Why  not wait for Abia State government?
Aah, they asked them to submit their PVC in exchange for the loan”
You  blind old fool,  must you always ridicule yourself?
Are you seeing PVC or empowerment to the people your governor Ikpeazu refused to pay salaries?  
Don’t you know the foundation is equally doing a state service by even educating people on the importance of obtaining a PVC?
Are you not tired of your shithole politics?
 
It would be too easy –and also quite unmistaken to define Don Ubani as far more than the imbecilic clown of Abia politics; more accurate to define him as a shameless blind old fool  acting as Publicity Secretary of Abia State PDP. In an article he released  yesterday titled, “Orji Uzor kalu has continuosly failed to acquire positive growth” the rascal superlatively lied against  his former boss who picked him up from gutters  before he sold out to the blood thirsty cabal he is presently working for.

He expressed his bitterness over the recent empowerment scheme of Orji Uzor Kalu Foundation (OUKF). OUKF is presently fulfilling her last year promise of extending  loans to  petty traders and low income earners with promising business ideas at a zero interest rate. 

The scheme which began last week has experienced huge demands for the loans and the foundation staff are currently camped in communities for easier access of the loans. Meanwhile, Don Ubani- the short-sighted fool rather than appreciating such gestures on Abians  has manufactured a story that the foundation’s requirement for obtaining such loan is submission of Permanent Voter’s Card. Not enough for him, he chronicled several unfamiliar foul languages and called his former boss several unprintable names as a lunatic shithole would do. He sounded very ecstatic mocking his former boss for not winning the last Abia North election, which his bloody thirsty cabal obviously rigged.

Defining Don Ubani’s folly as little more than politics as the art of distraction may be unfair; suggesting that the public is unable to see beyond the japes of an old Asa indigene may be equally  unfair. But as more and more people lampoon and disagree with Don Ubani’s article on Dr Orji Uzor Kalu I think it is also useful to make something thick.
 
When Don Ubani , an old nerdy recycled  politician in Abia State speaks, one should at best expect  a little sense of judgment considering his age and ass licking experience. But no. The old idiot has obviously sworn to die praising evil.

The ridiculous looking Ubani  fails to understand that it is still a fair bargain if the OUKF actually embarked on the free loan scheme with the intention of political support from the beneficiaries. Ikpeazu’s government he is working for has impoverished the people, performed incredibly poor and refused to even give the most basic leadership- payment of salaries. Yet, he is perturbed that an individual who left public service eleven years ago is doing for the people what Abia government would never conceive.  

 It is unfortunate that Ubani who hails from Asa has emptied his reputation bank. He sings praises to the thieves and looters of Abia treasury and discredits the very man that gave him opportunity to serve as a commissioner in the state all in the name of politics.

His foolishness has denied him the knowledge that  in his community , Dr Kalu is the  governor that did the only projects in  Asa(Ukwa West) . Kalu’s government  constructed Ukwa West- Azumini to Obehie to Owaza road  through Umudobia . OUK as he popularly called  also appointed an Ukwa man as Secretary to the State Government. Can we point to anything his paymasters did or even proposed to do for his community? Not even a single bad looking caterpillar has visited Ukwa West since the inception of Ipkeazu administration. Ubani deserves to be ostracized in Asa.
 
In Abia, OUK is a nightmare to Ubani and his team of irrational beings and that is why they can never stop discussing him. They have always written him to the dust, but still like dust , OUK  has always risen and stayed on top. And the only reason he could rise from all the propaganda, hatred, defamation, is because they are mostly lies and exaggerations.  OUK just like any other politician is not a saint, I do not mean he is, but not all things said about politicians are true.

Ubani may be buried in his delusion if he still thinks PDP will successfully rig the next Abia North senatorial election as insinuated in his article. He should know that OUK not winning the last election wasn’t about his score card, no other politician in Abia ever empowered his people more than the way OUK did. During Kalu’s tenure as governor , there was evidence or proof of presence of government . Roads were constructed and Abia had a say in national politics. Salaries and pensions were promptly paid.  There was free education across the state. Umuahia was one of the neatest towns in Nigeria. NYSC camp that was relocated to Igbere was the neatest NYSC camp in Nigeria for three consecutive years among other achievements. Ubani the old idiot obviously do not understand that the historic poor performance of the successive governments after OUK has permanently made him a hero.

Abians also know that victory in election is a combination of many factors. It has not been a parameter to measure the success or failure of a government. Most of  the occupants of the senatorial seats including the governor are there not because of good legacies or legitimacy in winning election. We all know how Abia State PDP rigged elections.
 
 
Don Ubani’s few fans in the PDP may be entertained by his irritating antics, and he certainly adds a dash of color to an increasingly soulless profession of  publicity  Secretary of the PDP, but there is value in looking deeper at someone whose image, reputation, integrity, does not matter to him.

The point I am trying to make is that Don Ubani is a blind old fool. He has eyes but cannot see. He is yet to realize that  Abians have taken note of their Facebook achievements and are patiently waiting for the election day. Although he may often be good in pouring venoms and writing poems but he is blind and wacky.

However, no one should feel sorry for Kalu for being maligned by someone he picked up from the gutters. Yet I wonder what exactly the old idiot thinks he is doing with his effusions of bilious Kalu hate. Doing his civic duty to take him down? Making sure all Abia knows how resilient and unassailable Kalu really is? Or is he not thinking at all and just impulsively giving vent to passionately held wicked convictions?

Whatever the motive, the nauseous outbursts should stop. Report what Kalu did as governor. Tell us what T.A/Ikpeazu has done. Tell us one good thing you have done for Asa. And analyze the differences and what it all means. But jumping into the public space with anger and insanity, explicitly insulting a hand that fed you and declaring his philanthropic gestures a political trap- it isn’t smart, and it will do nothing to alleviate the increasing poverty status  Ikpeazu government has forced on Abians. In fact it is far more likely to scare away other philanthropists who are willing to save lives of teachers, civil servants, pensioners and health workers through similar means.

Somehow, Don Ubani could be feeling  like the smartest fool of his age. He surely has no competitor.
But insult Kalu more if you want. Don’t if you don’t .

​GROANINGS OF DON UBANI, A STAGNATED AND PERENNIAL BOOTLICKER: By Ugochukwu Nwankwo

I could have just read the post of the moronic Abia PDP Publicity secretary left one or two comments in the comment section and pass but that would have been to let that old crook rest his ailing bones in peace after several gulps of local gin, his long time love.

Everyone knows that Don Ubani is a broken gong and a drowning politicians who each time he sits and takes a retrospection of how long he has licked the boots of the younger generation, he cooks up something in order to continue appearing relevant.

The last two of his write ups were against his party and the Governors aides who he envies the kind of cars they drive and houses they built. 

I still remember the remark the Current Governor made about him when I asked him a question about Don Ubani. He said and I quote “it’s worrisome to see an elder envy his younger ones who are doing well”. That is how the current Governor sees Don Ubani. They know him. 

The man Don Ubani is configured and wired to lick boots especially that of younger politicians and you know bootlicking is not a pleasant exercise. 

For 8 years he licked the boots of OUK, held so many positions and never for one day spoke a vile word against him. He praised him to high heaven until he left office. 

Ochendo Inherited him and he licked his boots for another 8years, maybe soon he will begin to find fault in Ochendo so that he will please the current owner of the boot he licks.

Someone is giving people loans and Don Ubani  is giving it another colouration.  What has Don Ubani  given to anyone? 

So why should I take Don Ubani serious. Imagine a man who has so stagnated that he fluctuates from minor position to the other for decades talking about positive growth. 

Don’t you wonder why in all the donkey years he has been in politics the old rejected coward never for once sought to be elected into public office, because he knows that Asa people will roundly reject him. 

Don Ubani requires nothing but a little oil on the boots he currently licks, you know the haramattan is heavy. That is what prompted his  empty rant.

Abians Are Ready To Vote for APC : By Dr Frank Chuks

​From my investigations, Abians are ready to vote for APC. 

There is too much hunger in the land. There is severe wickedness going on in the state perpetrated by those who have dined with the devil in the state. The people are yearning seriously for salvation; for deliverance, including the political players themselves. An elected LGA council chairman receives 2.5m as security vote and is expected to return 1m to someone in the state. 

A commissioner cannot even buy drinks for his friends in a bar. People cannot speak their hearts for fear of being hunted. People now prefer to hide in their homes rather than come out. The night life is dead in the entire state. LGA workers are being owed for over six months (reduced from ten months). 

From Thursdays all you hear are the noise of siren and you think the entire governors of the south east are converging in UMUAHIA and ABA but that the sirens of the motorcades conveying dead bodies for burials. Deaths cause by poverty. 

Deaths caused by inability of citizens to pay private hospital bill and drugs. Deaths cause by the cardiac arrest due to helplessness of unpaid pensions. Deaths cause by accidents from bad road. The state needs deliverance. Yes they are ready for change. 

I have witnessed the flood of people going to register for their voters card. They want a change and they are looking up to APC with a Federal might to rescue them and God forbid if APC does not live up to the peoples expectation it means doom for the people of Abia. APC must and have to use all the might at their disposal to bring a regime change in Abia. Its not important where the Governor should come from what is important at this point in Abia is to rescue the people. 

To rescue them from the tight claws of wickedness. To rescue them from the cloud of evil the has circled the state. To rescue them from severe hunger, poverty and deception. Can you imagine a state that owes her Health Management staff 10 months salary? I means Doctors, Nurses, Health workers etc. 

I have not seen such evil in my life before. No wonder their is too much death in the state. How can a Governor live with such insensitivity, such wickedness, such cruelty, such inhumanity? How can he live and pretend that all is well? How does he even feel standing on those stupid podium looking at the faces of the people he impoverish? 

Looking at the poverty stricken and twisted faces of those he calls his subject, those he claimed voted for him? APC has a duty, a commitment to the poor people of Abia. I pray God to help us deliver.
