[size=13pt]OKOROCHA IS FROM CAMEROON

HE USED TO BE MY JUNIOR IN SCHOOL SOMETIME AROUND 2004 [/size]

We all know that. Do u think looting ends with this new regime? It doesn't. It may slow down but it will NOT stop. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Sun of god:

The guy seems to be a joke.

Even the so called 'low life' Ohakim put job creation at the top of the list.

I cant see Rochas lasting 1 term - Imo will be even more Bankrupt by the time he has finished dealing with Imo people.

Without income from students how does he expect to invest in better facilities?

Is he going to start selling bonds thereby increasing the indebtiness of the state? I suspect so.

Nigeria has to many Governors in post not qualified to perform what they are tasked with.

They just get elected on false promises - and once in office they start talking shiite and acting like bush men.

Rochas is clearly only interested in short term political gains - this will come at the long term expence of the state.

Any bank that has loaned money to Imo must consider calling in the loan as the prospects of repayment dwindle everyday this dude is in office.

texazzpete:

I can't understand your glaring hypocrisy. You were one of the loudest mouths for GEJ a few months ago, why didn't you call him a 'joke' when he was busy making unrealistic promises? Why didn't you accuse GEJ of the same desire for 'short term political gains' when he was busy endorsing and praising the likes of Ohakim, Akala and Daniel?

Sun of god:

Glaring hypocrisy? What a joke - 

I was and still am a GEJ supporter. And I will judge him in 4 years time!

I will re-state my position - Rochas is only interested in 'Short Term' political gains.

The people of Imo are facing a bleak future.

I predict that the state of degradation the schooling system in Imo will fall into will result in the next Governor having to double school fee's to put right Rochas wrongs.

You will judge GEJ in 4 years time, but You've already started judging Rochas who is more proactive. mmmh check your self.

The truth hurts. . . . . .

EzeUche!:

Sun of god. . . You my brother has been quite critical of Okorocha. Anything he does, you seem to have a problem with it. The man is changing Imo state, so let us watch. He is doing more in the couple of weeks that he has been governor than Ohakim achieved during his tenure.

The insincerity of past governments not withstanding, i doubt the workability of this directive
Not for anything but because i believe we are not doing it right.

Let's assume he has the money to properly cater for this venture and then does really sustain it.
Why not collect these fees and then use the money to upgrade ailing facilities and build non-existent facilities in these schools? This way, the school is up to date and then children get to learn better.

There is nowhere in the world quality education is free. Worse still in a country like Nigeria where we like to abuse any free venture, i am the least impressed by this. The saddest part of it is the state owned University.
Does the free education equally include non-indegenes?

How then does Rochas intend to build a research based institution of modern discoveries which is what Universities are meant to be? Is there any plan to fund research and development which these institutions are meant to champion? This is further promoting the ideology of our institutions being mere theoretical learning centres. theories that are not even properly thought i dare say.

What i suggest is sustaining the fees especially secondary and tertiary level. If the government is rich enough to sustain these free education, use the monies collected from fees to improve educational infrastructure and support research and development or encourage those willing to discover or that have discovered new things.

Free Education? It is not the best. Maybe till primary education!!!

paulo882:

@at the bolded statement, my friend will you shut up ! go and do your research well. Most Scandinavia countries don't pay any tuition up to university level and also only this year did they start charging foreign students tuition in those countries, but education for locals and EU nationals still remain free. Why can't we have such in Imo state and entire Nigeria ? You ppl are so blind not to see that the money looted away by politicians is enough to fund free high quality education in this country and we will still more than enough for infrastructure and other things.
