Orji Uzor Kalu: ₦14 Million Is Too Little for Senators
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 фев 2025
- These senators have made politics their career and earn no other income outside politics. Out of the 14 million naira, 9.8 million goes to staff salaries. This is not enough and that is the truth.
Senator Representing Abia North, Orji Uzor Kalu

This fella will be one of the politicians the Nigerians will deal with when the revolution happens.
An ill-educated non-entity, always trying blow his trumpet and full of hubris and narcissism.
You are very correct @@zillamakilla8775
Thunder loading...........89%
Yam festival awaits every one of us. 😂😂😂😂
If Nigerians ever wake up to actualize any serious change.
I am impressed that Dr Abbati didn't or refused to apologize or withdraw his earlier assertions to the Senator. Thank you Reuben for job well done.
Experience per excellence..!
@@suleimansaye1656 Dr Kalu was really pained, I sensed it in the manner he raised his voice.
He even asked Dr Abati to come join him and play dirty politics.
@@nwambekeevaristus3689let him go and join and see what happens. What about all the .DisOBIdientsupporters Senator Obi sent to the house. Let him not apologise. Nonsense
Reuben Abati is one of the biggest thieves in Nigeria.
They're all working together
I'm an Igbo but this man is crazy.
Dr. Abati you have stricken this man below the belt.
😂
Unworthy personality.
**Struck **
😂
It's unfortunate hearing Uzor Kalu telling Nigerians that Abia people love him when he left Abia undeveloped, come to Abia now and see development going on. God bless Gov Alex Chioma Oti for the good work he's doing with well assembled technocrats.
GOD WILL DEAL WITH KALU AND HIS GENERATION
Good work, Dr. Ruben Abati, kudos to you sir. You really got to the skin of this oga senator.
Dr Abbati, kudos to you. This is what journalism is all about. Unapologetically stating the fact.
Thank you, Dr Reuben, for asking the right questions to Orji Uzor Kalu irrespective of how his ox is gored. He called it an insult but the manner in which he was let off the hook and brought out of prison is still suspect and a subject of judicial controversy. I am an Igbo like him. However, I advocate tough penal measures against any politician who is found to have corruptly enriched himself or diverted public funds, if it is proven.
Oga Orji kalu shouldn't be your issue, he was made before joining politics.
@@NorbertOnyeadorReally? Did you remember that he was an honorable member of the federal house of representatives during the 80's
@@NorbertOnyeador If he was made, what is he still doing in politics?
@Ninenifea politics nay his hobby and he have reasons to to choose any career
@@NorbertOnyeadorMade my foot. Did that stop him from looting the funds of the states? From the days of Orji Uzo Kalu until Otti came into the view, Abia State suffered in all ramifications of development. Is it staff salary payment, roads, etc. They are so shameless. You know he has sold his conscience when he says he is very proud of Buhari and Tinubu. For doing what?
I am from Abia State and no one is happy with you. Dont say we are happy with you
A very wicked man
I'm also from Abia,Orji Uzor Kalu is a disgrace to the Abians
A very big one
Na Igbere people I blame.He feels he is still porpular
The man is not intelligent enough to listen to
14 million is not enough and 70k is too much for civil servants. God will judge you all.
Arise Tv crew are miles ahead channel Tv crew members.
Yes O
You are not afraid to die
But yet you carry security men around
Werey
😂
@@ANOZIEEMEKA-go6yidont mind cheap talker
cann you imagin, he said Tinubu has done well based on what IMF has him to do???
we are done!!!!
I'm speechless
This man is a disgrace to his family how can a man like this come outside to be liar like a fool
You will aak if he is educated. This guy became Governor as a stark illiterate. Funny enough, northerners love him
@@templekanu6740I disagree with you. He was not a stark illiterate by the exact definition of the term. Rather, it is proper to say that he is poorly educated and lacks academic intelligence.
@@festusighalo2587That’s what the liegeria country has become. Liars everywhere 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
You'll not be Nigerian president. You'll cry again.
😮
Who go vote this one except his igbere people who poverty has reduced to mental health crisis
Before they say you should listen to elders but I have realize that foolish people grow old too.
14 million every month is not enough! Wow! We need to scrap the senate
Rufai would have roasted this man if he was around
Imagine the audacity
Rufai is not a journalist, he is a pundit.
A well trained journalist calms his guests in an interactive manner for them to say what you want them to say. Sometimes you ask provocative questions but be moderate.
Dr. Abati is a well trained journalist and so far, he handles the section in a good manner. He is more well loaded than Rufai you are asking for. You can also see the way Seun Okinbaloye of Channels TV handles his guests too. Journalism is not a lazy man's job. Sitting in the studio to attack govt policies every interval or attacking your quest in the name of an interview is not professional in a journalistic sense.
You are talking rubbish. Listen to international stations and understand professional journalism. You are a journalist as the fourth estate of the realm in advocacy and framing political issues. Politicians are servants and not masters. They should be held accountable. If you dont want to be queried to be accountable, don't contest @@ibrahimahmedolawale6500
Abati allowed him to gap a lot. 😅
If 14m is not enough, is it 70k that's enough for Nigerians? Because they have to pay their staffs too; children school fees, Nepal bills, medical bills, etc
Without Revolution, Nigerians will keep suffering
What's the percentage of all the workers in nigeria Compere with the population of none workers.
HV U even seen d 70k?
14 million is not enough. That was how he milked Abia State dry before rounding off with NDDC.
With him and Akpabio in the Senate chambers Nigeria is in trouble.
Dr Abbati is a rhetorical journalist and always coherent in his sense of judgment. God continue to bless you because of unbiased journalism
When these categories of people are made senators, it goes to show that we are not a sane society.
Mr. Kalu should be in prison. Where is EFCC and why is he not telling Nigerians the outcome of Hi-Tech job at Obuaku City? BTW where is Yahaya Bello?
Rufai was absent for a reason........ No Rufai No Party
Rufai is not on the Sunday show
Orji Uzor had previously warned Arise TV he won't attend interviews Rufai is part of the anchor
Kudos to Dr Abati, he's such a patient man
Very honest man Dr Ruben Abati❤ I love you so much well done sir continue like this sir
Femi is really getting older oooo
Just imagine how older he looks, even with the billions and trillions he's stealing from Nigerians.
Indeed there's no peace for the wicked 📌📌📌
Poverty is really bad. Look at how poverty has made you think that a billionaire cannot get old!
The boldness with which this man would say things like...
- 'BAT has done well'
- '14Mill is insufficient for my colleagues'
- 'Nigeria has the strongest Judiciary in Africa'
- 'When I speak, you people should listen. Nobody should be insulting me.'
- 'I speak the truth' 🙄
He doesn't know what he is saying.....
OUK thinks we know him to say things the way it is. 😅😅
If only he knew how we see him.
I was surprised for that statement too
Useless politician. Acclaimed businessman feeding off the nation and still saying it’s not enough.
No mind the thief.
We see him d way we see tinubu arm robbers
YOU HAVE BUSINESSES EVERYWHERE AND YOU ARE STILL IN POWER..THE RICHEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD ARE NOT IN POLITICS
Very correct, my brother. What is he doing in politics. Forbes rated you as a billionaire politician.....and you're still in politics. Orji Uzor is always a criminal
Correct
Ref: Donald Trump, Rishi Sunak. Being elected and elected for as Rich politicians doesn't mean they all has an Axe to grind in misappropriation and embezzlement of Tax payers money. By and large, it's their fundamental human rights!
I wonder why Rueben Abati is allowing this charlatan talk nonsense continuously without any interruption like this. It is days like this that I miss Rufai. He would have put the yeye man in his rightful place.
@folabiakin: a big charlatan. Rogues
A 2-time Governor and Senator can never be a charlatan, in a Country where the President is a forfeiter of $460g (see Court records)... and dodgy education as far back as Secondary School..
Dr Abati is operating from a place of high Wisdom*
IN NIGERIA OF TODAY, it is only people who have nothing to lose that are running around.
14 million too small for senator that probably seat many attime four time in a month and you cannot pay workers that go to work 5times in a week 70k.
Oga no let me vex ooo
Without Revolution, Nigerians will keep suffering
@josephurueyo.4432 Who is paying worker N70k? Definitely not FG or SG you mean because no Nigerian government worker is paid N70k. Only unemployed NYSC that get N70k. Some of you are social media-illiterates that do not know the meaning of MUNIMUM WAGE!
Only in Nigeria do you find peoples dads line up at the airport to welcome the head of state from a foreign trip. Jobless politicians!
Don't worry .. the time is coming
I have always felt the elites in Nigeria don’t like @Arise and then Abati as they see him as an asset that could work for them. He just said it 😂😂, by the way why leave your business that makes you billions to come and complain about 14million this is not fair at all
Abati an asset!? Running mate to a drug dealer and a stealing Jonathan's press secretary 😅
He's not afraid of anything......except the fear of EFCC 😅
He has been there before. He has no reason to fear the EFCC.
This man is not worth to be heard, and I wonder why Arise Tv gives him airtime. This man is too empty to a fault. He messed up Abia state to their knees. He didn't end there, he handed over to another crook to continue where he stopped.
Please go and read what they called " Jornalism"
Out of touch Nigeria politicians.
Mr Kalu, another Senator said he collects N21m, and this figure has been corroborated. Now you are saying N14m. Are you underpaid? Well, even if your N14m is true, it is often said that "if you can't stand the heat, you get out of the kitchen."
Whatever the senator says, s/he is earning, just know that s/he is actually receiving a lot more than they have said!
Whatever the senator says s/he is collecting, just know that s/he is actually receiving a lot more than what they are saying!
Persistent liars full of skullduggery and self-serving corrupt practices.
Don't mind that senator, they are all birds of the same feather.
This people don't have anything upstairs. They have nothing to offer Nigerian
Thank you Dr Abati.
How many foreign leaders would come to Nigeria for a working visit or vacation.
A journalist can ask any questions provided you made yourself available to be interviewed
Orji Kalu is angry his negative reputation is being described to him. Oga Orji you were IMPRISONED for corruption. Even in a country as lawless as Nigeria, you still got a conviction. Never mind that the useless technicality let you off the hook. Sit down there speaking like person wey dey $h!t olumo rock 😂😂😂😂
Thank you Dr Reuben for your disposition as regards this interview. It's a pity that our senators are shameless regarding meaningless policies that doesn't impact the lives of the people.
Prices has gone up? Which policies has caused the high inflation rates. God will judge us.
Bunch of unserious people. If he's going on vacation, must it be abroad.
Powerful man sounding untouchable. Reminds me of Ike Ekweremadu.
We doin what IMF and world bank want us to do... just imagine... no hope in this country
Yeah they follow neo colonial policies and dine in bed with them over soft loans with massive interest rates. Thats the story of black man in leadership. No sense! Just weak
#14m monthly salary not enough for Orji Kalu, you see the spirit of the thief? No wonder he stole Abia treasury dry. #14m monthly for doing just nothing. Chai! These people are heartless. If #14m isn't enough, why not resign? Thieves at the corridors of power.
Are you saying someone who employs more than 10k and a multi billionaire people is now a theif of ₦14 million? Do you speak English? Can you employ 100 persons with 14M? People just comment and cast aspersions without using their brains.
E pain am ! Oga Senator You thief abi you know thief !
Dr. Rufai has given Dr. Abati small Wawlence, just see how he gave Orji Kalu an upper blow and he went gaga...
@OUK …..I ask a question is it IMF that vote BAT or Nigerians
Very good to see this because you can't be weak to strangers while strong to your people.seun of arise tv drawn your tongue to say 14 millions wasn't enough as he did years back to draw you to say ""capable in my pocket...
This man can lie
Bloody liar . Lying for Africa
I am glad to hear it from you you that your party has succeeded in wiping out the middle class from Nigeria
If you senators are finding it difficult to speak to truth, then where are we in nigeria?
Really 14m is too small? I am speechless, this is a message to all Nigerians, there about to increase there salaries, this man is an agent to tell Nigerians.
9,800,000/70,000 min wage. Is this man saying thay he has 140 workers as his domestic staff. So Orji is now taking us as fools. Mtcheewwww
Oga not all workers receive minimum wage, some professional recieve to the tune of 300k.
@@NorbertOnyeador I once worked with the Presidency, and the aides are paid by Federal government while he pays his domestic workers and there is no domestic worker that earns too high. So what are you saying. If you mention any personal worker that earns upto 300k, I can tell you that government pays his or her salary.
The way he speaks says volumes of what they think of use, they don’t fight for us but pity us
Quite an underwhelming performance from a supposed Senator and former governor.
And Senate President + presidential candidate
Ndi Igbo here are your self appointed Igbo leaders and what they vomited from Onu ha ji eri ji na Ede
"The President do not rest, he goes out at night to check on Nigerians"-Sen. Orji Uzor Kalu
"A befitting world class language University to be named after Bola Ahmed Tinubu"- Hon Benjamin Kalu
"The President is doing very well for Ndi Igbo, he is good father to Ndi Igbo"- Sen. Dave Umahi (commenting on Buhari and Ndi Igbo)
"Ndi Igbo should be apologizing to Nigerians instead we are causing chaos"- Gov Hope Uzodinma
These people ganged up to throw their own son into detention because of power, at a time, the elites in the North are arguing for non kinetic engagement (no use of force) for terrorists organizations in the north like Boko Haram. At a time terrorists are ravaging the country, northern elites are pushing for mandatory pardon and requesting that Boko Haram members be given army uniforms, your representatives can't say anything until they are edged out of power.
Its a big shame
Imagine my bro
Buhari did well for Igbos.
1 Federal University of Education,Owerri.
2 Federal Teaching Hospital,Owerri.
In imo State alone.. The two universities are sitting side by side in orlu road
There are other verifiable projects in other Igbo areas.
Buhari only failed in economy and security. Everyone knows that.
Reuben Abati needs to do better in his journalism skills. How can you let someone lie that we have not had an economy for over 60 years!!!
With all these good job done here, you demean the erudite Dr. Abati with this trivial point? My brother, you can do better.
As always the case, we should never criticize anyone cos of erudition! Bro, Abati should be bolder in facing these criminals and don’t squirm when they dishonestly push back!!
@peliilayira8475 Being a journalist doesn't make you lose your sense.
You can push an allegation against your guest when you don't have the evidence. You only ask questions to pull out a fact. Dr Abatti is a lawyer, he know the implications of pushing without a fact
Journalist is not a lawyer, and neither are God orJudge.
@@peliilayira8475Reuben Abati is a criminal himself
Good job, Dr. Abatti, good questions asked.
This Senator can not come before Rufai to be interviewed ooo
Rufai will rattle him like a rattle toy !!
,that's why he appeared today 😅
It is true that Orji Uzor Kalu stole over ₦7 billion. To avoid prosecution, he strategically switched political allegiance from the PDP to the APC, a move that eventually shielded him from legal consequences. Today, he praises Tinubu because Tinubu played a key role in securing his controversial release from prison.
This same individual, Orji Uzor Kalu, is notorious for introducing godfatherism in Abia State, a practice that almost ruined the state’s political landscape. He wasn't a successful godfather as his political godson, Theodore A. Orji (another thief), went against him and nearly banned him from entering Abia.
It remains puzzling that Orji Uzor Kalu is currently serving as a senator. His election was clearly rigged when he realized the rising wave of support for the Labour Party (LP) threatened to unseat him.
Orji Uzor Kalu is deeply entrenched in corruption, and trusting him is risky. As an Abia native, I speak from firsthand experience, and I can attest to the damaging impact he has had on the state's politics and governance.
Oga OUK you don't say the truth Oga. Know it and know the truth.
An igbo man to the heart! I love the way he trashed ruben, he spoke powerfully at him-- if you want to be a polician or journalist, act as one. I love this man, orji uzor kalu.
LET THE SENATORS RESIGN IF N14 m IS TOO SMALL!!
Abia people we love him his much more better than many of you here
So he knows no one can rest in Nigeria abi? Nonesense
WHAT FORMULA ARE THEY USING TO DERIVE AT THE SALARIES THEY PAY NIGERIANS INCLUDING POLITICIANS
Liar is lying and still calling himself a truthful person, Nigeria will never get better whether anyone likes it or not
I PITY NIGERIAN WHO SETTLE FOR LESS SEE WHO IS A LEADER IN NIGERIA. THAT IS A VERY BIG SHAME
No one takes OUK seriously. Don't know why he's always being interviewed. This guy is very low
I grew up in Abia and no one is happy with this monster the only good thing he did was Enyimba football club success.
I wish Rufai Oseni is allowed in the same studio with this man, he'll talk himself into trouble in the process of trying to defend himself.
This country is finished that's the fact.
WHEN WILL NIGERIA MEDIA START PLAYING BACK LIVE VIDEOS OF WHAT THEY HAVE SAID PREVIOUSLY..JUST WATCH HOW FOREIGN MEDIA USE PLAY BACK TO CHECK THESE POLITICIANS
I cant believe this man came from the same state as MNK. tuuueh!
Sen Orji,I think I will start by asking you what you achieved as a governor for eight yrs. Bunch of liars and noise makers. Same man defended Buhari in the face of hardship that he caused on Nigerians.
And you take 14 million as a monthly salary when there is a world worldwide difficulty?
Good one. Up OUK. Perfect responses. Kudos.
He's a criminal bandit Nigerian politician.
The man is supposed to be in jail now, yet he has the guts to say #14m Naira is too small for him. What impact has he made in the Senate?
Why can't the Senators disagree with the president in the open?.
BECAUSE A THIEF CAN ONLY DEFEND A THIEF
@@Da_Championhe ask dumb question
The man billionaire senator in politics in Nigeria collecting 14 million naira every month as salary is a shameless man. Either as governor or senator. He should not be in politics.
A senator in Nigeria should be paid N600,000.00 (six hundred thousand naira monthly). Nigeria Senators must have no business with constituency projects. The fault is the constitution. No matter how rich he is, he is not making sense. The senate should be scraped.
Politics should not be their career.
It's quite unfortunate that we have someone like this running the affairs of this country.
I wonder who this man represents in Abia State? He has small mindset, unintelligent, not smart in any imagination. His utterances are gutters and sounds like a drunken man out of touch with reality
Truth will always prevailed. Your body language tells it all. Birds of the same feather flies together.
Come and be a teacher and let me be a senator since 14million is small..
😂😂😂
Go and join politics, it's a free entry and exit.
With all your money and as a billionaire, then what are you doing in politics again? With due respect you don't need to be a senator, face your business snd allow people who will be satisfied with 14million naira monthly, which professor could not earn, so that nobody will insult you again.
Dis man is too dull,is it d imf dat will tell us wat to do in dis country
MOST NIGERIA POLITICIANS ARE IN HUMAN WITH EVIL MINDS
When Nigerian government till now haven't been able to pay the minimum wage of #70000 to workers.
Oleeee JATIJATI,,its time to retire all this foolish igbo politicians.
😂😂 I agree with you. But not only the Igbos. Yoruba and Hausa-fulani politicians have stolen more from the Federal Government treasury than the Igbos. The facts speak for themselves. Yet, no corrupt and rogue politician should be spared when the bloody Revolution comes.
Chief Orgi.
1. They threw me in jail for nothing.
2. Nigerian judiciary is me of the best in the world.
3. If you're not ready to be interviewed, just decline the interview.
4. I feel Dr. Reuben get sometimes acts like a master craftsman
Mumu of them all
This man is honest to bring out what all of them are hiding.
Then, take him for his words.
These two legislative houses that Nigeria copied from America is too expensive to run this type of democracy .
It is time we tell our selves the truth.
Nigeria cannot maintain full time legislators who cannot maintain themselves. That's why this poor economy is paying to maintain their lifestyle.
It will not work. We are getting poorer and poorer. It will collapse . They are living large at the expense of the poor.
Prodigal senators.
This man remains the only person who DESTROYED Abia. He is an ass leaker.
This man Senator Uzor Kalu has definitely lost the plot, he should recognise timing in utterances, you can’t say such at a time of great hardship.
I am disappointed with Orji Uzo Kalu and the way he conducted himself in this interview. Dr. Abati, your questions were valid. I don’t know why kalu started saying he was Igbo. This has nothing with being Igbo. This is about integrity, honesty and fairness. Certain people should not be in leadership positions. Nigeria needs to wake up!
Gbajabiamila, you will never see good for assisting to force that tinubu on Nigeria
Pray for yourself to see the good one he has seen.
Amen by the word of the Lord so shall it be
@felixoden9549 go and get a job
This man uzor kalu is totally lost touch with Nigerians, he have no idea what Nigerians are going through, he doesn't want anyone quotation whatever he said, Nigerians just have to listen to what he has to say because he is this and he's that, well oga if you want to be president of Nigerians, you have to make it a point to listen to Nigerians, because you will be working for us,we definitely don't want another T.PAIN THE TERRIBLE. that's if Nigerians will choose another pompous, self centered person like you.
