Dipo’s Diary/

During a training session on how to run NGO, 17 years ago, at the Goethe Institut in Lagos, I learnt some tricks on how to draw mass attention in weird ways.

The training was facilitated by the late Director of Goethe Institut, Renate Albertsen-Marton, may her soul rest in peace.

Someone mentioned raining down Naira notes with leaflets containing your message from the top of Oshodi Bridge on the multitude below. It was crazy, but it was accepted as one of the extraordinary ways of getting people to notice you.

Gov Rochas Okorocha of Imo State must have attended such training, because he has a knack for courting controversy to get people’s attention.

He must have been jealous of his counterpart in Lagos, Gov Akinwunmi Ambode, who was the focus of attention for weeks since he unveiled a controversial statue of the sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, near Alausa in Lagos.

In Okorocha’s case, people are not talking about the technical proficiency of the sculptor or the make-up of the composition. The talk this time is the relevance of the iconic sculptural piece of South African President, Jacob Zuma, which he has just mounted in the Eastern Heartland, Imo State.

With a population of over 4 million people, the state created on February 3, 1976, by the late Head of State, Gen Murtala Mohammed, has some world renowned citizens that could have been celebrated instead of Zuma whose people in South Africa have been in the news for killing Igbo men in their midst.

He could have even looked towards Anambra and Abia states to raise a statue in honour of the late world renowned Literary Giant, Chinua Achebe, or living football legend, Kanu Nwankwo.

Okorocha could have put up a statue for the Imo State-born track and field heroine, Chioma Ajunwa-Opara, or Our Mumu Don Do activist – Charley Boy.

Others include Pop Star, Onyeka Onwenu; trailblazing blogger, Linda Ikeji; past Imo leaders, such as the late weeping Gov Sam Mbakwe, the late S...http://www.newsmakersng.com/2017/10/15/okorocha-outwits-ambode/

Are we sincerely comparing both?

for nonsense?

Some Igbo n foolishness sha. Una matter tire me.

not some Igbos but some writers and foolishness

Atandakk:


With a population of over 4 million people and the highest number of professors in Nigeria,

Can we all see that this guy is drunk? Are you talking about the state with the highest number of robbers and kidnappers? For your info, Ogun state alone has more professors than NE, NW, NC, SE and SS combined. Likewise Ekiti and Ondo states individually. So, if you have taken ogogoro with Goatluck Jonnadaft, better go and sleep before I give you ifoti, igbaju, igbarun or igbadi that will reset your destiny.

Lol. Let peace reign. That was a 2010 statistics that is online. Ekiti state has it now. The error is regretted. Correction effected.

Okorocha looks beyond tribe and country and that's why he's different. He's working towards uniting Africa in Owerri thrlugh Rochas fountain while others are looking for ways to fragment little Nigeria. I see Okorocha even looking beyond Africa in the near future.
