Why are awards given? Is it not for one's contribution to a particular community? You don't give awards In-view of what will be done but what was done.
Anybody supporting these acts by Okorocha should examine it well.
The monies (N520million per statue of so) used for these statues can raise over a million Imo youths to become millionaires and help Imo IN at least 20 different industrial areas by means of a project like YOUWIN or so.
Bringing these presidents will not bring a dime to Imo.
How many countries grew by drawing foreign presidents to their countries than BUILDING HUMAN CAPACITY INTERNALLY?
I'm from Anambra and Imo used to be better in education back then but I know even without statistics, you won't even agree to this today anymore. Anambra used to be a state of business men only but not anymore.
Can you compare the welfare of the Anambra state's civil servant to that of Imo state which is even an older state?

CaptainJeffry:
I've dated two ladies from Imo state so I think I deserve a statue by Roaches.

Abagworo:
Ellen Johnson Sirleaf is one of the greatest women in modern African history and the only female President ever to emerge out of Africa.

Leez:

u mean ds guy?

Spylord48:
Lol ist stage gone.tomorrow the main business of the day will be done. THE GRAND UNVEILING CEREMONY!!!
After which preparation for the next statue unveiling will commence. Who knows it might be Robert mugabe this time around.

Bullhari007:
go to Liberia and see a country rule by a woman how far they are... women are bad leaders

Abagworo:



You don't even know what is Ozo title and you wrote a full page of balderdash. The eagle feather played more significant role than the cap in the past but Ozo title is an Igbo thing and not Anambra. Moreover Nnewis, Aguata, Anaocha, Ihiala, Ekwusigo, and Orumbas are all closely packed with Imo State in a non-stop sprawl that the only difference is artificial State boundary.

vioment:
Am not an Okorocha supporter but this is a good strategy if channeled the right way. Okorocha is opening imo up to the world. 1st he did that thing for SA president, now the avid readers and news followers there now know imo state, same with Liberia. And hopefully, other important people. One eastern state or all need to open up like Lagos. Let's lead the world in science, technology, civility, and dignity; after all, those countries we respect outside of china have that attitude and also have their own traditions they had to tamper down to accommodate us.

Imo is still leading the rest of Nigeria by a very wide margin in education and Imo isn't older than Anambra. The old Eastcentral State was concentrated on Anambra and so was the old Anambra State from which Enugu was created. The only thing that makes sense is to say Owerri became State capital before Awka.

OMANBALA1:


lol..Nwokem, noo nwayo biko. This is still the indefatigable Odenigbo Aroli! Did you just say I dont knwo what is Nze na Ozo ? Why have you refused to change from your evil ways, Abagworo....My uncle is an Agbalanze, most male in my family has Ozo and my grandmother is Nnebuenyi( Nwanyi gbalu odu ukwu na aka). I know too much about our noble Nze na Ozo and I have witnessed the ceremony too many a time.

Abagworo ,you are from Ugwuta and from your history you dont have the OZO institution just like most Imo towns ,especially Owerri ,Mbaise,Mbano and their surrounding towns. Only few towns in Imo state has the prestigious culture of Nze na Ozo . Yes ,Igba Ijele, Ofala, Igba Odu, Igba akwunechenyi are all Igbo culture because these beautiful cultures can only be found in Igbo land but we can all agree that not all Igbo towns/state observe this culture.

I know every step of Nze na Ozo rites and the food cooked on that day which we call nni ocha which is the main dish. I know the sound of ufie wooden gong,ekwe , and I can dance it. Please, dont say what you dont know....Anambra own Nze na Ozo and the mbuluchi Nri spread the culture.

And no,Nnewi , Aguata, Anaocha, Ihiala, Ekwusigo and Orumba has nothing in common with Ndi Imo and stop spread lies. I know how Awgbu, Amaokpala and Umunze sound, a bit like Awka. Nnewi , Orsumenyi, Ichi and Amichi speaks a peculiar dialect. And please dont touch Anaocha, Aguata where Oliver and Theresa Onuora hail from...You are quite strange ,Abagworo...lol

Ihiala, Orsumoghu ,Uli and Mgbidi sound alike but that is understandable because of their proximity but still they are just as Anambra as Nsugbe is. The state has been created and I know you feel all the good stuff is packed in Anambra but that is destiny. Anambra bu isi Igbo and every Igbo person need to respect that. I am not here to argue with you but to flip your lies.

Abagworo, I am yet to see you celebrate Imo culture but you are always lurking around to poke your nose in Anambra culture....

Osita Osadebe says...Onye nwe okpa kpoo ya okpa nkpokolo agbataobi ewelia kpoo ntu. If you dont respect your culture nobody will.
Your northern raised governor is running around giving chieftaincy titles to people with questionable character,thereby selling Igbo culture for penny....nakwa echeki!

Abagworo:


There is not much difference between Imo and Anambra culture hence it is termed Igbo culture. You are so fixated in your local area that you know little or nothing about Igboland thereby believing so much in artificial State boundary. The culture is same till you get to Owerri where a clearer difference is noticed which continues into Ngwa, Umuahia and Rivers State. Those Owerri and neighbours refer to other Igbos north of them including the rest of Imo and Anambra as Isoma. The culture in Egbema, Oguta, Ogbaru are virtually same with Delta Igbo while Ohaji tilts towards Owerri and Rivers.

able88:
Just see how these mumu traditional men are dishing out prestigious titles.

These people don't know that there's a right of passage before a woman should be conferred with that title.

Amarabae:
God bless you dear.
I don't like Rocha's but cmon, it's should not take away our sense of reasoning.
Forest Whitaker visited nkwerre some years ago and he was given a chieftaincy title as a black American who traced his root to the Igbos.
Sometimes it's used as a sign of appreciation.
When flavour visited Liberia some years back,they honoured him also with a chieftaincy title, same as when Rio Ferdinand visited Lagos back then, he was honoured with a chieftaincy title too.
It's used for appreciation.
Playing politics with emotion is one of our problems.

GOVERNMENT OF IMO STATE
PRESS RELEASE

SUBJECT: PRESIDENT OF LIBERIA MRS. ELLEN JOHNSON SIRLEAF ARRIVES IMO, RECEIVES CHIEFTAINCY TITLE OF “ADA DI OHA NMA” OF IMO STATE
- SAYS AFRICA HASN’T DONE BADLY
- AS GOVERNOR ROCHAS OKOROCHA DESCRIBES HER AS A PRIDE TO AFRICA

President of Liberia, Mrs. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has been honoured with a befitting Chieftaincy title of “ADA DI OHA NMA” of Imo State. The Chieftaincy title was conferred on her by the Chairman of the State Council of Traditional Rulers, HRM, Eze Samuel Ohiri at the Eze Imo Palace Owerri on Thursday, November 9, 2017.
President Sirleaf had arrived Owerri through the Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport where the Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha received her with the wife, Nneoma Nkechi Okorocha and other Senior government functionaries, and she is in the State for a two-day visit on the invitation of the Rochas Foundation College of Africa.
The Liberian President was driven straight to the Eze Imo Palace at Mbari Street Owerri where she was Conferred with the Chieftaincy title which means, “The Daughter that is good for all”.
Conferring the Chieftaincy title on Mrs. Sirleaf, Eze Ohiri said she has done Africa proud especially the women folks and deserves to be honoured.
Receiving the Chieftaincy title, Mrs. Sirleaf said she was happy to be in Imo State and noted that generally speaking Africa as a Continent and the nations that Constitute the region have not done badly in all Considerations, adding that with Education, hardwork and Unity of purpose, Africa would soon get to the Promised Land.
Governor Rochas Okorocha in his own speech stated that Mrs. Sirleaf is a pride to Africa and an inspiration to all the women in Africa and beyond, adding that her coming to the State was exciting.
The Liberian President would on Friday, November 10, 2017 meet with the Students of Rochas Foundation College of Africa for interaction and would also particularly parley with Liberian Students in the College whose Parents died of the Ebola disease.
It is also expected that the Liberian President will buy into the vision 2030 of the Rochas Foundation College of Africa which has been programmed to ensure that more than one million children of Africa are taken off the streets and given quality education.
Mrs. Sirleaf will also deliver a lecture to Imo women on the title “Women in Politics” and will equally be honoured with Imo Merit Award and a road to be named after her, while a statue will also be unveiled in her honour and her name given a place in the Imo Hall of Fame.
Some African leaders had earlier been honoured, and the people of the State are happy to be receiving these leaders Since the State has so much been developed by the Current government in its urban Renewal Programme which has made the State fit to host any leader from any part of the world.

Igbo titles are toilet paper. Sorry. I'm pretty sure that Evans guy has a title.

obailala:
Oh is dat ur dad?... Oh now I get it... lol... only a retarded brain actually assumes a person is yoruba simply because I said there isnt anything wrong with conferring a visiting president with a title. And then he actually begins the moronic igbo vs yoruba slurs with me. Such a child, now I better understand who you are...

BeijinDossier:



Nwanne kedu maka America?

If you allow this useless old man he will re-write history while we look on. This bastard must be followed bumper to bumper if not he will use his usual lies to cover up everything.

OMANBALA1:


Nwanna, anom ofum. Kedu maka oliaku na umuaka.

I have been ignoring because its just exausting.

Chukazu:


Okorocha's shallow mind is enough grief to well meaning Imolites, but to now see that he has succeeded in making myopic feeble minded foot soldiers like you even makes the matter worse.

there's a difference between sustainable development and jamboree.
have you thought of the possibility of another governor coming to bulldoze every dam structure that OKOROCHA has erected?

now if the same government can at least invest those resources on ICT training for its students,nobody can take such investment away...that is sustainable development
