E go soon RED for the pot-bellied mallam Okorocha

I can see palm fronds here, are they mourning Okorocha already?

Another proof that the APC is actually an anti people's party from Aso Rock to Owerri govt house

What is the difference between Buhari and Rochas.?

God help us

Amadioha tinz .... OKoroawusa on the cross

So nah now they remember the route to the grave site of the ancestors?

Thank you.

I hate it when politics enters into every critical issue, when the people who are meant to educate our people hide their faces in shame cos they were not recognized by the ruling government....

RIP to The Casualties...

The Government passed a proper warning and sanction which were not adhered to instead they were busy daring the first citizen of the state..

May God shape our ignorance and make us to be mindful of our safety at all times.... Amen.

Owerrians that are supposed to be the most enlightened sets among the Igbo's are here engaging in a show of shame to express their displeasure at the governor's attempt to modernise their city.
If not for Rochas hardwork, Owerri would have been as disgusting and unplanned as Onitsha or Aba. Rather than invoke the good spirits to keep supporting him, they want their wives to keep selling their ukwa and ugba on the roadside.
You can force a horse to the river, but definitely can't force it to drink!

Owerri people shot themselves on the foot, Emeka Ihedioha from Mbaise would have won last election but Owerri people out of hatred towards Mbaise people massively voted for Rochas despite the fact that Mbaise is in Owerri zone. Exactly what is playing out in Nigeria where Yolobas voted for Buhari cos of their hatred for Jonathan and SE but today they are suffering and smelling.
Owerri people are paying for their sins and this is just the beginning
RIP to the dead and may their blood hunt Okoroawusa til he cries for mercy

I don't blame the governor, Rather, I blame the people who voted and keeps on voting for this evil men. oKorocha will win in front of any shrine because the people sent him to do the job he is doing. Do not vote for this evil criminals.

Which people exactly?... For meaningful development to take place, things like this (i.e. shifting market location) are inevitable; and there would certainly be people opposed to it. The relocation of this particular market is long overdue to ensure sanity in one of the most important roads in the centre of owerri.

Owerri is disgusting and unplanned. Onitsha was well planned and has been kept neat. Owerri and Aba should be dragging position in disgust and unplanlessness.

God help us

Buhari is a terrorist
Rochas is a terrorist crook

Owerri indigenes should pick another struggle mbok. What is this show of shame. It was because of your lame refusal to relocate this market that led to the killing of that innocent lad. Y'all sit your lazy a** and harass traders. Steal people's phones along that Douglas and your elders never did anything about it. I remember one December my lil bro was harras along that Douglas by this owerri indigenes and was beaten and my mum cried herself out that day and cursed you guys...asked why no one came to his rescue and people say once you challenge them, they assassinate u.

Does it stop people from going to the market?

Oh no

Which of your so called "yoloba" is regretting?. You are not current. We have the best under BUHARI. GEJ made us no 13 but we are no 2 under BUHARI. See the rail road construction, the Lagos - Ibadan road under construction and many others in Yoruba land. IPOB are mere criers, genuine Igbo understand the reality. Yoruba gains more under BUHARI than under GEJ where no one benefited.

Oh all these elders wahala

We IPOB told them from the start abagworo and his hero GOV ladymanokorohausa never mean well for them, they thought we are joking

una see am

deadly looters and killers

even that yeye lady, wetin be her username again self support this day light killers

she should show up

in face book there is one called Proper Uzoegbu or something na dem na dem; ndi ochi

mad people!

While it is true that governors have the power to relocate markets,wide consultation before doing so is important. This is a democracy.
