This ROCHAS guy is talking so much

dats cool

Am i the only one that feels that the title os condescending?

Why would he not give them education in the first place? I mean, they're also residents of Imo state.

Unnecessary show of fabricated heroism. Face of hidden discrimination.

And is there a reason why I can't modify on this thread?

i --> I

os --> is

ALAHAJI YUSUF NWAOHA,,,    KAI this igbo man dey fine money go mecca. no igbo man fit be  moslem execpt some thing is involve.

this governor is really becoming the worst kind of opportunist politician i have ever seen. imagine based on the same fact that the state had not enuf resources to pay salaries to the over 8000 recruits, he suspended the programme making the various graduates who wasted money,time and resources to go back to their homes without any form of compensation. some even travelled from lagos back home and hired houses all for the job they believe they got from the state government.instead of this governor to look into ways of compensating these people he goes about with a visionless manifesto free kerosene ,free education to almajiri and co. his aim is to bribe the northerners for a shot at the president come 2015.

See poor Imo state, na wao. The gov has no focus as if he has done so well for his own people. Our people say that charity begins at home. He is sacrificing his poor imo people because of his presidential ambition which we are all sure that he will never get the ticket either in APGA nor PDP

Good Devlopment

i hope this is a sincere move by Rochas to embrace all Nigerians and bring Nigerians closer and break the barriers.and that would be greatly appreciated and rewarded."the reward for good can only be goodness"-(Holy Quran, Chapter 55)

I sincerely also hope that this is not another missionary-like tactic to indoctrinate Muslim children by giving them free education to snatch them for christianity.

a word is enough for the wise!

@Topic,

I see no problem extending free education to non-indigenes, the SW (Lagos) did it some years back, but why would government fund pilgrimage? Whether for Muslims or Christians, I think unnecessary; Pilgrimages are religious luxury, government has no business wasting money to fund tourism in other countries, while the poor suffer back at home. Misplace priority if you look at it well.

Deep Soul:


How sustainable is this free education programme?

What'll happen when Rochas leaves power? Will his predecessor continue or scrap it as is the norm.

We all know how Nigerian leaders lack continuity.

Again I ask, how sustainable is it?

Ok, Until your questions are answered, lets all fold our arms, reject the free education and demand an answer to your questions!

It's quiet surprising when a man who came to power barely six months was just making too many promises and want to be this or that I just wonder. Seriously I dont know how the problem in the North now has become what a man in far east should worrying about whereas the North themselve are not eve ready for such change or even see education itself as enermy.

I must be right to ask if this governor has done everything needed for his state? I wonder if everybody now in Imo are satisfy and full so the time to dive nose to other peoples affairs is ripe? When you see a politician suddenly jumping over the fence for what is not is business then something is fishing he must be interested in something possibly if care is not taken he may soon become Alhaji Rochas.

Thousands are roaming the street of Imo capital jobless he is not concern about it but he is worry about people who were created to be a virus to anyone who take them as neighbour. He is worry about those who does not care what happen to his own citizen, he is worry about those who belief education is a sin, I just wonder anyway.

Non-indigenes, especially Northern Muslims in Imo State have been assured that their children will also benefit from the free education policy of the government.

Governor Rochas Okorocha said this when he hosted Muslim[/b]s in Government House, Owerri,.

Okorocha said: “[b]My administration will not discriminate against non-indigenes but will rather ensure that everybody benefits from the policies and programmes of the state government.

”

Apparently, the non-indigenes visited the governor to express their fear about the new education policy. Should he have told them that non-indigenes will not benefit? What would have said were to be in his shoes?

hope the northern muslim governors would also emulate dis kind gesture.nonetheless;rochas has been helping them from time immemorial with one of his free tuition schools in kano

It is high time Rochas Okorocha of Imo state to stop beating around the bush and face up with the real business of governance. First of all, the issue of free education is becoming the only thing he knows as the problem of Imo people, incase you're uninformed, from primary school up to JSS 3 is free in the whole Nigeria through UBE policy since 2002. Apart from that, Imo state is not an educational disadvantaged state and produces the highest number of jambites, graduates every year. We also have the highest number of unemployed youths in Nigeria. Why should Rochas be deceiving people in d name of free education? What we need is qualitative education, employment creation, infrastructural development, good road network, clean and serein environment and above all security. It's very miopic for somebody to tell us that the only agenda he has for a highly intellectual state like imo is free education. He should stop fooling himself and tell what we want, he disengaged 8211 workers employed by the previous administration and appointed jobless people whose monthly salary alone can take care of the entire 8211 for 4 years, what a wicked act! He has started wickedly and will end making OHAKIM a hero. Time shall tell, employment creation, infrastructural development, good road network, clean and serein environment and above all security.
