Gov. Orji Uzor Kalu $1.5m Home in Houston Abandoned‏

If we all agree that Kalu and each and every Governor under Obasanjo stole public money in abundance, what sense is there is arguing about whether the stolen money was used to buy one specific property or the other. The fact of the matter is that the person is a thief no more no less.

And since when has the fact that a person was rich before attaining public office been a defence against him or her stealing even more when in power.

Only corrupt minded people defend corrupt politicians

That Orji Kalu and many other Nigerian governors looted their state treasuries is probably not in doubt.
That said we must reist the urge to always jump into a conclusion that every property on a foreign soil
owned by a ciurrent or former Nigerian government official must have been purchased with dirty money.

By all accounts, Orji Kalu was already quite wealthy before he became governor of Abia state. He probably got even wealthier
stealing state anf federal funds when he was in the good books of Preisdent Obasanjo.
If Orji Kalu is wealthy enough to own a airline business that serves currently as the national flag bearer for Gambia and Senegal
(just as Virgin Airlines does for Nigeria), I am at a loss why anyone would think he could not afford to buy the residence shown in the
picture for as mere $1.5 milion with his own funds. It is also not uncommon that a man or woman might decide to buy a property and register it in his or her
spouses for purely legal reasons.
Even though the house in the picture is beautiful and majestic, there isn't anything that unique about it that one cannot find in wealthy residential districts of Abuja, Kaduna, Sokoto or Lagos.
If you have clear evidence that this property was purchased with stolen money, I think you should be supplying the information to Madam Waziri
at the EFCC, rather than titilating us with pictures of a bautiful house. The fact that most Nigerians might never be able to affors such a house
or even have a need for it does not necessarily mean that everyone who owns such a house is a thief.
