millionaireman:
Of course, you have never loved Rochas Okorocha. Even your lies that he has completed most of the projects he started in Imo state show that. You are amply demonstrating your hatred for Okorocha in politics by your recent posts, more so, regarding your desire for him to become VP candidate in APC 2015 elections. You are offering him a ticket to political oblivion after May 29, 2015. Count on Igbo votes for Rochas for President, not for VP.

You know I am a truthful person and can neither be bribed nor intimidated into saying what is not. When Odili was nearly given Yar'Adua VP ticket Ijaws lead by Edwin Clarke fought so hard claiming an Igbo man should never be given South-South slot for VP. The Ohaneze were too compromised like the present one to make case for Odili or even challenge Edwin Clarke and his militants. All is history now but that VP is the President today which means Peter Odili would have been President.

Today all lovers of Nigeria and those who wish it well are rooting for Buhari and we also have the chance of producing his VP in Rochas or Ngige. Tell me what is convincing enough to leave these two performing Igbos to a non-performing Bayelsa man?

[b]A far north presidential candidate in APC shall not win the 2015 presidential election, more so, given the level of insecurity emanating from the north these days.

Nigeria's unity has continued to rest on rotating the presidency among its constituent blocks. Candidates from far north have led Nigeria several times since the 1960s. Nigerians are not bred to perpetuate injustice - injustice kills a country.

Normally, it is the turn of the Igbo/Southeast to succeed President Jonathan.

If APC is truly a national party, a Rochas Okorocha as its presidential candidate could have won APC Aso Rock clean. Even before he entered politics, Okorocha has had philanthropic organisations all over Nigeria.

But so far, APC seems to be an organisation aimed to return Nigeria back to the hands of far north.

If by any miracle APC wins Aso Rock in next election with Okorocha as VP, Okorocha shall be rendered redundant in office, and at one point likely to bolt away in anger.

Above all, by 2019, (or even if Buhari could not complete four years), far north must insist that north must complete eight years in office.

Then by 2023, zoning of the presidency shall be de-emphasized by far north to enable north still retain the presidency.

Lagos Pastor reveals Rochas would be Nigeria
president come 2015
The General Overseer of Galilee Christian Center in
Lagos, Prophet Williams Onuoha, has predicted that
the current governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas
Okorocha, would become Nigeria’s president in
2015.According to him, for this to happen, Okorocha
would have to adhere to God’s direction, adding that
only a running mate from the South West region can
give him the presidency.In a recent interview with Daily
Sun, Onuoha, who is seen and referred to by many
who attend his church as a highly gifted prophet of
God, said he saw the vision in 2011 and now it’s coming
to pass.
“In 2011, I saw in a vision that the present governor of
Imo State Owelle Rochas Okorocha will be president in
2015. And in one of the national dailies recently, the
governor said he would be president in 2015 and that it
had been prophesied. True. I had seen this vision, but
there are things that needs to be done before this
prophesy can come to pass and one of them is that
only a running mate from the South West region can
give him the presidency.“I have never met the governor
before. When he said last week in the papers that he
would become president in 2015 and that it had been
prophesied, I was not surprised. What I saw in 2011,
the governor said in 2014. God is truly wonderful,” the
prophet said.
Onuoha said he had predicted the global economic
meltdown and that a black man will become president
of the United States.He explained that he has made so
many revelations and all have come to pass.The man of
God said: “Three weeks to when the Ebola virus came
into Nigeria I had told my members to pray seriously
so that the country can escape the calamity that was to
befall her. We did pray and by His grace we escaped.“I
feel it is time to free this country from the grip of the
devil and his agents. Look at our youths; they lack
direction. This is because the head is corrupt. When
the head is corrupt the body will definitely be
corrupt.“Many of our industries today are controlled by
the devil. Look at music, for instance. Even some
gospel artistes have now fallen by the wayside. This
country needs God’s intervention, and she needs it very
fast. That is why true men of God should not relent in
praying for this nation. Many are no longer with God.
Even in the house of God is corruption. Pastors,
bishops now preach money. They no longer preach
God’s word to the people. When the wicked are in
power the people suffer.”Asked how he came about the
name of his church, he said an Angel revealed it to him
in trance.Recall recently, Governor Okorocha had
boasted that he would defeat President Goodluck
Jonathan in the forthcoming 2015 elections saying:“I
have the capacity to govern the Federal Republic of
Nigeria. I must also make it abundantly clear that the
PDP and indeed, President Goodluck Jonathan, cannot
defeat me in the forthcoming general election.”Speak
ing last week Monday at the All Progressives Congress
(APC) rally, Okorocha proudly declared that he would
be the president in 2015.

IGR: Imo grosses past N1bn

Imo State has grossed past the N1 billion mark in its internally
generated revenue (IGR) by end of September 2014, BusinessDay
reliably gathered from Chike John Okafor, the immediate past
commissioner of finance in the state, who has just resigned his
appointment to pursue a political career at the House of
Representatives by 2015.
The amount indicates an increase of more than 233 per cent
from about N300 million recorded by the state by end of May
2011, when the Governor Rochas Okorocha administration
assumed office in state.
Okafor, a former senior bank manager at Zenith Bank plc
Owerri, before being snapped up in June 2011, from the
financial world by Governor Rochas Okorocha, said, the IGR
jump was as a result of government’s moves to block most of
the revenue leakages in the system.
The Umuoke, Obowo local government area-born crown prince
and investment banker, said the State’s IGR profile grew from
N221m in March 2011 to N300m by June, and N400m in
October of same year, before hiking through 2012 to notch
N750m by close of 2013 fiscal year.
He said in 2014, the state’s IGR drive has changed
tremendously, as the state government’s method of revenue
collection has engendered confidence in the tax payers, who he
said, now feel no hurt in paying their taxes promptly, “due to
what they saw in the number of projects being built by the
Owelle Rochas Okorocha’s rescue mission government.”
“Imolites now have confidence in the Governor Okorocha’s All
Progressives Congress (APC) state government’s prudent use of
public funds to build projects that touch the lives of the
masses,” stated Okafor; adding that the revenue from internal
sources would keep on improving, as long as the rescue
government would be on the saddle in the state.
Explaining the public current view of perceived increased sources
of the funds for Imo, which may have informed the upsurge in
projects development, the Imo State University (IMSU)
Economics graduate said, the rising IGR, coupled with prudent
financial management of the Okorocha have combined to
accentuate things.
He said: “Imo only picks around N4.7bn from the Federation
Accounts Allocation Committee (FACC), whereas states like Akwa
Ibom collects around N32bn, Rivers 25bn, Bayelsa N18bn. Ours
is just the way we manage our funds with respect to projects
execution.”

I cant tell his ethnic affiliation but the reason for frustrating his VP ambition by Edwin Clarke and his militants was on the grounds of being Igbo.

GOV. ROCHAS OKOROCHA OPENS IMO STATE MICRO
FINANCE BANK
His Excellency, Owelle Rochas Okorocha has opened
the Imo State Micro Finance Bank for operations with
the governor having already successfully secured a
disbursable two billion naira (N2billion) Central Bank of
Nigeria, (CBN) Micro Small and medium enterprises
fund.
Opening the Imo State Micro Finance Bank weekend
the Governor said his government had taken the
initiative because of its believe that “power is
incomplete until the ordinary man is made a
participant in the economy of that state. That is the
reason behind the establishment of this bank”.
The Governor continued “today, the people of Imo
State now own a bank. The bank is here with us. The
Imo State Micro Finance bank is today a reality. With
this, the Government House is finally brought closer to
all the nook and cranny of the State. Today, with this
bank, the crucibles of the Rescue Mission government
have fallen on the ground for the ordinary people”.
“In Nigeria today, kobo is no longer considered as a
medium of exchange not because kobo has lost its
value, and not because the CBN can no longer produce
kobo through the mint, but because the common man
is not made an active participant in the economic
affairs of our nation. This is why in the Rescue Mission
government we believe in the principle of “Kobo Must
Return (KMR)” he added.
The governor further stated, “with this micro finance
bank kobo again will be in circulation in every nook and
cranny of the state. Today, it is no longer the old
stories of kidnapping, armed robbery, car snatching,
and all kinds of evil because the economic activities in
Imo State have picked up and people are economically
engaged”.
“The Imo micro finance bank is the People’s bank. The
essence of all these is to save the lives of numerous
poor Imolites while protecting the interest of the few
rich. The bank will give loans to the poor widows,
artisans, poor traders and so on so that they can grow
up to become active participants in the economy.
Pension funds will be opened in the bank to ensure
that our pensioners get their pensions as at when due”,
he stated.
“We will open branches in all the 637 autonomous
communities in the state. I am particularly happy that
this bank has come in the life of this administration. I
want to call on well-meaning Imolites, those who have
the resources to put some of their money in this bank
for the benefit of our people. I am the first customer of
the bank. I have opened an account in it and I expect all
government functionaries to do the same” he added.
“This is a very serious bank. This is not politically
oriented bank where you give loans to your brothers
and sisters without the political will to recover the
money. When you are given money in this bank, we
shall make sure you pay back. The bank will service the
people of Imo State”, the Governor remarked.
Present at the function were the governor’s wife
Nneoma Nkechi Okorocha, the representative of the
Central Bank Governor Mr. Rom K. Aligwe, Chief of
Staff Government House, Sir Jude Ejiogu and the
Commissioner of Finance Imo State, Chief Ike Njoku
who is the Chairman, Board of Directors of the bank.
