Rochas Okorocha, Governor of Imo State, has said it’s better for youths to be armed robbers than to be involved in smoking marijuana.

The governor made the remark while addressing some youths of the state.
In a video retrieved online, the governor, who spoke in Igbo could also be heard briefing the people on development plans he had for the community when he made the statement.

Okorocha, apparently emphasising on the danger of marijuana said, “You all know what the law says about Marijuana(weed)? Weed has killed my Children in Imo state. Anybody selling weed or consuming it, that person’s house will be demolished.

“Where we are now, it is better for someone to be an Armed Robber than to Smoke weed(Goof)”

what kind of comparison is that
so the youth are smokers already should quit smoking and embrace armed robbery ba

...yeah. Just like them in government house.

This guy is just a clown


See foolish comparison.

There you go he is encouraging harmed robbing see the man who want to become president very encouraging he can talk to his people like that.

Can't say, but looks like he just succeeded in convincing those kids that looting public funds is the way to go.

OYA OOO youths over to you

Become armed robbers

Police cannot arrest you ...if they do tell them the governor told you to become an armed robber

bad as abuse of marijuana is, weed has been proven to hv some medical benefits. It is used to suppress nausea in Pateints undergoing chemotheraphy. It is component of many phamaceutical drugs. Controlled use can be very beneficial. But can u say d same for armed robbery? So much for comparism and coming from someone we look up to as leader. May God have mercy on u my governor. U need prayer

By the things Okorocha does and says, I always thought Okorocha was high on something bad. Now am very convinced.
Only a man high on Marijuana can spew those kind of thrash.

WTF it's better to rob innocent people of their hard earned money and property than to relax and get high off good kush?? do you know what what robbery does to victims?? the trauma?? some even kill themselves after the incidence, some robbers even kill their victims.... SMH for this man uncle stfu go and erect more statutes

exactly

Very shallow thought process at work

Any how talk.

APC is just a bunch of fools.

Waiting for stupid mentions like...

To him armed robbery is a lesser evil!

okorocha you are useless..

Sincerely, I must confess but that was poor from the governor.

Don't smoke weeds is human law and it is subject to human rights.
No arm-robbery is Spiritual laws of killing and stealing-Double Sins in one operation.

APC is about to create 5 million jobs in Imo state!

Am not surprised at all, seeing it coming out of Okorocha.

Am not suprise or disappointed by his statement cus nothing gud cums out of this country, mostly our so called leaders they have 6 months old baby brain

How did this man become a Governor
