[size=13pt]Governor Okorocha, where are the jobs in Imo State?[/size]

http://www.modernghana.com/news/375676/1/governor-okorocha-where-are-the-jobs-in-imo-state.html

Last week, the leader of Ohaneze, Kano State Chapter, Chief Tobias Idika denied media reports that Imo State Governor,Owelle Rochas Okorocha visited Kano and met with Ndigbo in Kano over the plight of Igbos in Kano after the Boko Haram attack. 'The report is false and insensitive to the plight of Ndigbo” said the Ohaneze Chairman. “Okorocha did not enter Sabon Gari to see anybody. He came for his own political business. He did not come to see Ndigbo. He did not set foot in the community” said the visibly annoyed Ohaneze leader .According to Okorocha's media men, the governor of Imo State arrived the city of Kano and held meetings with Igbos in Kano including ”his people living at Sabon Gari” where he discovered that no Igbos were killed in the black Friday attack.

All I can say to this story is — Shame! Shame! Shame!!! Why will the Governor of Imo State make such callous statement that no Igbo were killed in such a drastic bomb attack? This story further exposes him as over desperate for people's applause. That is how he has been trying to manipulate the minds of Imo people so as to gain unmerited commendation through his rescue Imo sweet talks when all he has been doing is playing a game of deception and rescuing his own pockets. Too bad, for it is obvious that people's commendation does not come by chance. It takes doing the right things to get commended. You don't do the wrong things and expect the masses to hail you.

For the past 6 months,Okorocha has been speaking in tongues and proclaiming heaven that will become of Imo State . Every month he will send out a press release, promising Imolites heaven and earth. We have not witnessed anything that will call for a celebration. To get cheap popularity, he is using praise singers who are lying to the world that all is honky dory with Imo State. Our ears are sore with “we will build this and that” in place of “we have done this and that”.

You don't get the peoples praise when you are sending them out of jobs. Owelle sacked 10,000 Imo citizens since June last year and has adamantly refused to reinstate them.The 10,000 sacked workers are undergoing untold hardship as a result of the suspension of their jobs. They have severally staged an 'nzogbu-nzogbu' protest march to government house to see if they can get their jobs back but no way.We will keep demanding that Okorocha should recall the sacked 10,000 legally employed civil servants in Imo state. Have we not pushed 10,000 persons into kidnappings and armed robbery? It is highly insensitive to unjustly sack workers in a situation when labour market is already over-saturated. The sack of 10,000
workers in Imo state has gone down in history as a testimony of Okorocha's anti-poor, pro-rich programmes. This is the highest singular sack of workers in one full sweep in Imo State history by any government.

You don't get the peoples praise when you cannot give them jobs. You don't get the peoples praise when you are misusing state funds in relocating the peoples University to your village. Imo State unemployment rate has grown each month for the last six months, hitting 8.5 percent in January. Unemployment is the number one issue in Imo state today. In an SP poll, 89 percent of Imo citizens cited unemployment as the state's most important problem. Imo people need jobs. That is how they can put food on the table. Unemployed graduates, unemployed construction workers, unemployed engineers, unemployed teachers, unemployed security guards, unemployed cooks, unemployed waiters and those desperate for a job in Imo can no longer wait. Job is number priority in Imo State. Okorocha, where are the jobs?

continued . . . . . . . . .

The guy is the of Ohanaeze KANO chapter. He lives in KANO. Now that he decided to go back home where he belongs instead of developing another man's land he is complaining. Too bad.

Aren't you one of those calling on them all to come back, screaming that they were being attacked and all?? 

Whether you see it as developing another man's life or not, the man's own life was developed while he was in Kano, so of course it makes sense for him to require the same level of effect from Imo State. Of course he would wonder why in the world he was promised a better life in Imo on return.

when i start attacking the yorubas dont say we igbos started it, what concern you in igbo affairs , why dont you post topics of what happens in those caves in yorubaland.

That's the price he and other Igbo have to pay for not investing back home, aunty. Go back to north and be killed or stay in Igboland and map out plans to invest there. He is in his own way. Too bad.

Why do you need me to be Ibo? To the other, why do you need me to be Yoruba?

If you cannot stand that I have a right to comment on matters that concerns Nigeria as freely as I want to, then you probably need to stay away from Nairaland which is a forum on Nigeria-related issues and this happens to be one of the many.

Please do not derail the thread. The writer of this piece has every right to ask the questions he has of his government. Respond accordingly to the question or move up.

i dont see anything bad in what Op has done, like alj harem pointed out, he is nursing presidential ambition, and it is never too early to start scrutinizing our 'future' presidents.

So in Kano, he has no price to pay but when he moves back to Imo he has to pay a price? Are you serious?

He is here asking you why he was told he would get a better life in Imo when people who have lived all this time in the same Imo are still paying a price for living there i.e. getting nothing better than what he is getting in Kano? He is telling you of how 10,000 who were denied of the job the previous administration gave them(fake or not) are still unemployed to date and wonder why he, some one who has been in Kano, would want to move to such a situation?

6 months in office aunty, 6 months. Do you expect heaven and earth that soon,escpecially with out a complete restructure of a totally destroyed platform from the previous administration? You are being unfair aunty. In Kano i'm sure te buy is business man, working for himself. Of course he probably can find minimal type of job to do but the question is will he humble himself to do it. Its shame on him. Let him begin to relocate his business to Imo. I'm sure he can find a nice attractive place to establish it at.

Oh!! Now you want to change you want to change tactic? I am at least glad you now see how silly your initial line of reasoning was.

It does not really matter here what YOU ASSUME of his life there. For all you know he could be a simple trader who still feels his lot is better in a place where he at least has something compare to another where over 10,000 there are still reeling from the disappointment thrust on them by the current administration(no matter how long it as been in position).

Why should he begin to relocate his ASSUMED business to IMO? That is technically what he is asking you here? What reasons are there for him to do that? You suggest that the current administration has only been in place for 6 months( actually more than that though), and so he should not expect much in that time. So why should he then decide to, on seeing near nothing, take that risk, given the still-current realities he points out in his write up there?

You win. Ka chi foo.

Let's be patient 

its unfortunate anything igbo,South east,biafra,massob,ohaneze,ojukwu is what sells on NL.

NL moderator are bent on selling Nigeria's unity for internet traffic to make more money.

anyway my advice to the igbos is to just ignore all those idiiots that don't look into themselves rather they pick others eyes when their eyes are seeking attention.if you need to reply any comment let it be to the comments you perceive to be from an igbo person on NL cos the more you reply the bigots the more they talk rubbish.so ignore them to help them be sensible.

See a typical Igbo brain

Why do we politicize and tribalize important issues on Nairaland? Sincerely, Okorocha lacks leadership skills. Relieving 10,000 workers was the biggest mistake he made.

This man has been singing false praises to himself since he became the governor. No single achievement. He is indeed a ''promising'' governor ('we will, we want'). This guy might turn out the be the worst compared to Ohakim.

Unfortunately, a good percentage of the Nigerian population live in ignorance.

Rochas (or whatever his name) may have promised jobs; but did anyone care to ask him how he'd create the jobs? Or does a governor just pull out jobs from his a$i$?

Today, our governments on all levels are by far the largest employers with a largely inefficient workforce and a recurrent expenditure that keeps increasing; little wonder that we have no good infrastructure making it difficult and expensive to run a business in Nigeria. The private sector is almost non-existent. We should be advocating policies that will revive out private sectors (from the power reforms that have helped close down businesses and held us back for eons to unnecessary bottlenecks that stifle businesses from operating effectively and everything inbetween). Till then, you'd wait and keep hoping for one Okorocha to deliver on his promise.

Anti rochas, soon shame go catch una,

Not in this world and probably not in the next.

Leave Rochas alone and give him time. Yoruba's, mind your own business.

@OP

Ohaneze, Kano State Chapter, Chief Tobias Idika STAY in the East and help develop it. Rochas is putting in place infrastructure that is necessary to boost investments and in turn create jobs. Small businesses create the most jobs in America and that can be DONE in Eastern Nigeria. Government does not create jobs, it leads to too much government. That is the essence of a capitalistic economy. As Ndigbo,we are capitalist by nature. The government job is to put in place infrastructure and create good environment for doing business.

I know many people who have relocated to Imo state and they are not complaining; family members included. They can testify of the massive projects going on in every local government.

It won't be easy but we MUST develop the East and future Biafra. Enough is Enough for this failed Nigerian project where we are used as sacrificial lambs and mocked.

Any igbo who complain is efulelu. The ones that built heaven and earth outside their hometowns but never laid a stone back home.

I think we are past asking him the HOW of job creation. He is already the governor, and now it is best to ask when he will start creating the well needed jobs. Since he fired over 10,000 hired by  the last administration, citing that there was no need for that many hands in government. It follows then that he probably knows that he would need to create the jobs in the private sector(I hope people make sure of this).

You are better off than him right?

If at all you're a Nigerian seeking decency and honesty in managing Public offices, then I refer you to man in imo.

That aside, I believe Rochas wants to calm the already heated polity. I think the wisdom of refusing to fuel the heated polity like ours not minding the ethnic and religious intensity it has bread already is a quality of a good leader.

Above all, he is a product of a failed and corrupt system, Unfortunately and fortunately he inherited it. Give him time to deliver and fix it,

Siddon dey wait for the jobs.

Better go find person to kidnap like Osisikankwu

Job ko bl**w job nii, make unah no use ya sense create jobs,

"That is how he has been trying to manipulate the minds of Imo people so as to gain unmerited commendation through his rescue Imo sweet talks when all he has been doing is playing a game of deception and rescuing his own pockets"

This their Eze don fall my hand bad bad why must such a matured man allow anger to over rule his judgement? Okorocha of all people? come rain come shine, na my man be dat. People should stop spewing rubbish please; criticize REASONABLY when u have to, but do not just come up with claims without proofs. Why were those people sacked (If it even happened  )? Has anyone asked? i believe in Okorocha,  give him time.

Sacking 10,000 'redundant' workers takes a lot of guts. But it was the right call, judging from the fact that those workers were political 'appointees.'

End of Story!

HELP, SOMEBODY HELP A BROTHER IN A DISTANT LAND

thanks

Best governor in 9ja at the moment by miles, In Naija at the moment and visited a friend in that state few days ago and can attest to that, Bad belle berekete for this board,

Was in Owerri recently. This is how it goes. If you have machinery and capacity to take up a contract. You will be awarded the contract, and given a deadline to deliver. There are so many contracts to build roads, schools, and so on. All the roads in Owerri are currently being worked on by different contractors, who use laborers. Thats the employment right there! You can't stay outside the state and criticize him. You have to go there, and see for yourself what the man is doing.

Chicken don dey come home to roost.


Lazy and incompetent AGIPA people, Lmao

End of Story!

Not all were political appointees. Most 10,000 workers resigned from their previous jobs just to serve their homeland.

He should have used an independent professional consulting firm to investigate those who didn't follow due process.
