Abagworo, stop defending mdeiocrity. Rochas is a mediocre man who shouldnt even manage a street not to talk of a state. Tell yourself the truth. Rochas is a compund failure. If you were observant, I always praise Chris Ngige in my posts. You know why? Even though he stole Obi's mandate, he did solid works that gave Obi the foundation he needed to better Anambra. Chris Ngige has popularity today in his base because he worked well well. Can the same be said of Rochas in Orlu?




Okorocha is extremely popular in Imo State. It is mainly Anambra people and Mbaise that are crying because Jonathan lost and Okorocha played an important role towards Jonathan's downfall. It is for same reason they hate Amaechi. Amaechi is equally popular in Imo State.

I feel for my Mbaise peeps. Their emotions seem to have been triggered by the false hope that Ihedioha could defeat Okorocha with Jonathan assisted rigging and sponsored by Anambra business men. They should face the reality that Orlu zone is Imo State's North. You can't win an election as a minority using tribalism and hate as campaign. It is the bane of Igbos. You have to reach out to other Nigerians and see them as brothers.

Twenty-five universities from Nigeria and four others

Tell me why Igbos should support this sort of wickedness. FG reconstructed this road and deliberately stopped at Imo boundary because our Governor happened to be in APC and my Igbo brothers are rejoicing at such impunity.

The Rochas Okorocha Government reconstructed the Orlu section of this road to a dual carriageway with chrome streetlights just for the records.
is that what really happened? What year did FG construct the road because I know very well the IMO end of the road was motorable during Udenwa's administration. I remember when MCC worked on that road. The work on that road was going on simultaneously with Amaifeke-Akata road and beyond. At least I was still studying at IMSU when some major roads in Orlu were been rehabilitated

Did FG re-award the road leaving IMO end of the road to rot?

Yes Arthur Nzeribe whom Udenwa was instrumental to his political downfall attracted all those roads including Owerri-Orlu road and Owerri-Onitsha expressway.

The Ihiala section got so bad that FG had to do a quick work on it but why did they not extend it to Awo-Idemili at least and then complete the rest later? I believe their stopping at Imo boundary was not by accident.

Rochas played an important role to the defeat of Jonathan? Hahahahahaha. Go all through my posts on Nairaland. You can never see me critiscize Amaechi.

Once you enter PH from Owerri, you will know because Amaechi did their own part of that Federal road which you have been whining about. Thats to show you a governor who has his people at heart.

Just remember that the same Mbaise people you are insulting are the ones that the fat fooool you are supporting will need their votes to contest for presidency. After 2019, Rochas will be politically irrelevant because am certain even Hope Uzodimma wont allow him win Senate. Am certain the Northerners you are banking on to get 2 million votes will rally round another Northerner when the time comes.... Continue playing with Hausa-Fulani. You and your master will never learn from history. Buffons!




Where and how did I insult Mbaise people? Please don't twist my quotes. Mbaise people were sympathetic with Jonathan and have been bitter about the loss mainly because of Ihedioha.

We are not interested in your local Imo state politics. Peter Obi installed Okorocha in 2011 to rule Imo state and not to be his godfather. And that was the first ever election victory in Okorocha's life. For every person that must rule Imo state, he/she must not fail to pay homage and draw sponsorship from his masters. It is as simple as that. Let it sink into your subconscious.

Okorocha won second term because of people's fear that if he failed to come for second term, the projects he deliberately started would rot away.

Okorocha must be telling himself that he is the fastest thinker in his Ideato. But he is pouring sand for garri for future Ideato politicians as far as Orlu zone politics is considered.

Okorocha has amply demonstrated that he has no business with Orlu zone. He has no single business anywhere in Orlu zone, his only house in Orlu, he knocked it down when he was demolishing other houses in Orlu, unlike in Owerri where he has innumerable businesses including hotels, hospitals, private mansion etc.

Raining abuses on me will not change the fact that Okorocha is the best out of our present political elites. Blaming him for Jonathan's wickedness won't solve the heaps of bad federal roads littered across Southeast and South south. To associate with Northerners and other Nigerians is a good thing. My business is so large and successful because I have all ethnicities including non-Africans working for me.

The man who opened this thread did as a comparison claiming Anambra is better than Imo. You can go back and check. Rochas Okorocha's only sin is refusing to support clueless Jonathan and leaving the Anambra dominated APGA for a more national APC knowing fully well that PDP has no future.
Re: vr by Abagworo(m): 6:21pm On Oct 07, 2015
This only further illustrates my earlier comments. When Okorocha was in APGA they tried to dominate him but he refused and clashed with them on several occasions. He knew he was more popular across Nigeria than all of them but their plan was to kill his political career locally as was done to Orji Kalu.

Why Governors Obi And
Okorocha Are At War
Stanley Uzoaru
— Jan 28, 2014 4:21 am | Leave a comment
They threw brickbats at each other for the
most part of last week. Governor Rochas
Okorocha of Imo State, and his Anambra
State counterpart, Mr. Peter Obi, were
literally engaged in a verbal warfare over
the dwindling political fortunes of Ndigbo
within the Nigerian context.
Governor Okorocha stoked the fire when he
blamed politicians from Anambra State for
the inability of Ndigbo to actualise their
long standing quest to produce a Nigerian
president of Igbo extraction since the
beginning of the present democratic
dispensation.
Governor Okorocha made the remark during
the inauguration of the South-East interim
committee of the All Progressives Congress
(APC) at the Ahiajoku Centre, Owerri, the
Imo State capital.
He said politicians from Anambra State
have the predilection to collect money from
politicians from outside the zone, and in the
process sabotage the Igbo agenda to give
the country a president that would transform
the country to a land filled with milk and
honey.
According to Governor Okorocha, politicians
from Anambra State, more often than not,
go for juicy contracts and appointments at
the federal level in every election year,
rather than join forces with their
compatriots from other states in the South-
East to fight for the realisation of the Igbo
agenda to produce a Nigerian president
from the zone.
He even alleged that former Vice President
Alex Ekwueme, as well as erstwhile
governor of the old Anambra State, Senator
Chief Jim Ifeanyichukwu Nwobodo, were
politically naïve and even aloof in the
struggle to produce a Nigerian president
from the zone. Ekwueme, a distinguished
architect, lawyer and politician hails from
Anambra State, while Nwobodo, known for
his enduring charisma, is from the present
day Enugu State.
Governor Okorocha rode to power in 2011
on the platform of the All Progressives
Grand Alliance, (APGA), but later joined the
nascent APC, where he commands
considerable respect and acceptance
among APC governors, and members of the
party.
Governor Obi, who was also elected on the
platform of APGA, and who had remained in
the party since 2003, felt that governor
Okorocha’s statement was an inult to the
entire Anambra people.
Governor Obi, who spoke through his media
aide, Mr. Mike Udah described governor
Okorocha as a rabble-rouser, an ingrate,
and a desperate politician who joined the
APC to realise his ambition to rule the
country.
The Anambra State chapter of Ohanaeze,
the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation,
as well joined the fray. Chief Chris Elemuo,
state chairman of the organisation, said
governor Okorocha had forgotten so soon
how APGA, widely regarded as an Igbo party
provided him the platform to become
governor. He expressed shock and dismay
that governor Okorocha dumped APGA, and
joined the APC, which he described as a
party of Northerners and Westerners.
It’s instructive that both Dr. Chris Ngige,
senator representing Anambra Central
senatorial zone in the upper legislative
chamber, and Senator Annie Okonkwo were
present at the event where governor
Okorocha made the controversial statement.
Both politicians are from Anambra State, yet
they didn’t raise even a whimper against the
statement credited to the Imo governor.
Perhaps, they choose to toe the path of
dignified silence because they share the
same party platform with Governor
Okorocha.
The implication is that governor Obi would
have clapped for his Imo state counterpart
with both hands, if he (Okorocha) had
remained in APGA. But given the
leadership configuration in APGA; the loss
of vision as well as the crises that had
bedeviled the party since 2005, not a few
described Governor Okorocha’s exit from
APGA as a welcome development, since the
party is not in a position to provide Ndigbo
a platform to produce the president.
While Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu
Ojukwu was alive, he was the national
leader as well as the chairman of the
party’s Board of Trustees (Bot). The
founding national chairman of the party,
Chief Chekwas Okorie, who hails from Abia
State, was dethroned after a long court
battle. His position was usurped by Chief
Victor Umeh, then national treasurer of the
party. Ojukwu hailed from Anambra – the
same state where Chief Umeh comes from.
Though APGA was designed as a national
political party, its founding fathers in their
wisdom thought that first of all, it should
provide Ndigbo a platform to realize their
political and socio-economic aspirations
within the context of a united Nigeria.
But soon after Chief Okorie was squeezed
out of the party, APGA became more or less
a community party. Both Governor Obi and
Umeh come from the same Anaocha local
government area of Anambra State.
That’s not even the main issue. Some
political observers in the South-East said
Obi had surreptiously handed over APGA to
the PDP; a development which they said
would make it difficult if not impossible for
a Nigerian president of Igbo extraction to
emerge even in the next 50 years.
But in the calculation of Governor Okorocha,
APC provides a practical route for an Igbo
man to assume the highest political office in
the land. He, however, reasons that if an
Igbo man fails to become president in 2015
on the platform of APC, at least the vice
presidential slot would be given to a
politician from the zone.
Not a few say the current face-off between
Governor Obi and his Imo State counterpart
has no bearing on Okorocha’s description
of Anambra politicians as cash-and-carry
politicians. They are convinced that the
confrontation between the two Igbo
governors could be located at Okorocha’s
defection from APGA to APC.
More succinctly put, Obi seems to be
sympathetic to the PDP over its current
travails in the hands of some of its high-
heeled members who had left the party in
droves to join the APC. He also seems
unable to understand why a governor in the
South-East, and more so, one elected on the
platform of APGA should also defect to APC.
That perhaps informed the decision of
APGA, which recently pronounced him the
national leader of the party and chairman of
the party’s BoT, has gone to court to
challenge Okorocha’s defection to APC, and
ultimately use the court to remove him as
governor.
Re: vr by chino11(m): 6:49pm On Oct 07, 2015
I still don't know why you have chosen to continue to display your silliness everywhere.

That Okorocha is a Governor today is because Obi gave him the platform and subsequently made him what he is today. How then can the same Obi that made Okorocha what he is today still want to bring him down?

Okorocha has been in the political wilderness till Peter Obi picked up and singlehandedly made him governor in 2011. Okorocha was only a noisemaker before Obi picked him from the gutter. Nobody knows Okorocha politically till Obi made him a human being. The records are there. Obi is not competing with a failed unlettered rabble-rouser called Okorocha because Obi stands out as a lettered and a sound material with a banking sector background.

Abagworo:

This only further illustrates my earlier comments. When Okorocha was in APGA they tried to dominate him but he refused and clashed with them on several occasions. He knew he was more popular across Nigeria than all of them but their plan was to kill his political career locally as was done to Orji Kalu.

Why Governors Obi And
Okorocha Are At War

They threw brickbats at each other for the
most part of last week. Governor Rochas
Okorocha of Imo State, and his Anambra
State counterpart, Mr. Peter Obi, were
literally engaged in a verbal warfare over
the dwindling political fortunes of Ndigbo
within the Nigerian context.
Governor Okorocha stoked the fire when he
blamed politicians from Anambra State for
the inability of Ndigbo to actualise their
long standing quest to produce a Nigerian
president of Igbo extraction since the
beginning of the present democratic
dispensation.
Governor Okorocha made the remark during
the inauguration of the South-East interim
committee of the All Progressives Congress
(APC) at the Ahiajoku Centre, Owerri, the
Imo State capital.
He said politicians from Anambra State
have the predilection to collect money from
politicians from outside the zone, and in the
process sabotage the Igbo agenda to give
the country a president that would transform
the country to a land filled with milk and
honey.
According to Governor Okorocha, politicians
from Anambra State, more often than not,
go for juicy contracts and appointments at
the federal level in every election year,
rather than join forces with their
compatriots from other states in the South-
East to fight for the realisation of the Igbo
agenda to produce a Nigerian president
from the zone.
He even alleged that former Vice President
Alex Ekwueme, as well as erstwhile
governor of the old Anambra State, Senator
Chief Jim Ifeanyichukwu Nwobodo, were
politically naïve and even aloof in the
struggle to produce a Nigerian president
from the zone. Ekwueme, a distinguished
architect, lawyer and politician hails from
Anambra State, while Nwobodo, known for
his enduring charisma, is from the present
day Enugu State.
Governor Okorocha rode to power in 2011
on the platform of the All Progressives
Grand Alliance, (APGA), but later joined the
nascent APC, where he commands
considerable respect and acceptance
among APC governors, and members of the
party.
Governor Obi, who was also elected on the
platform of APGA, and who had remained in
the party since 2003, felt that governor
Okorocha’s statement was an inult to the
entire Anambra people.
Governor Obi, who spoke through his media
aide, Mr. Mike Udah described governor
Okorocha as a rabble-rouser, an ingrate,
and a desperate politician who joined the
APC to realise his ambition to rule the
country.
The Anambra State chapter of Ohanaeze,
the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation,
as well joined the fray. Chief Chris Elemuo,
state chairman of the organisation, said
governor Okorocha had forgotten so soon
how APGA, widely regarded as an Igbo party
provided him the platform to become
governor. He expressed shock and dismay
that governor Okorocha dumped APGA, and
joined the APC, which he described as a
party of Northerners and Westerners.
It’s instructive that both Dr. Chris Ngige,
senator representing Anambra Central
senatorial zone in the upper legislative
chamber, and Senator Annie Okonkwo were
present at the event where governor
Okorocha made the controversial statement.
Both politicians are from Anambra State, yet
they didn’t raise even a whimper against the
statement credited to the Imo governor.
Perhaps, they choose to toe the path of
dignified silence because they share the
same party platform with Governor
Okorocha.
The implication is that governor Obi would
have clapped for his Imo state counterpart
with both hands, if he (Okorocha) had
remained in APGA. But given the
leadership configuration in APGA; the loss
of vision as well as the crises that had
bedeviled the party since 2005, not a few
described Governor Okorocha’s exit from
APGA as a welcome development, since the
party is not in a position to provide Ndigbo
a platform to produce the president.
While Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu
Ojukwu was alive, he was the national
leader as well as the chairman of the
party’s Board of Trustees (Bot). The
founding national chairman of the party,
Chief Chekwas Okorie, who hails from Abia
State, was dethroned after a long court
battle. His position was usurped by Chief
Victor Umeh, then national treasurer of the
party. Ojukwu hailed from Anambra – the
same state where Chief Umeh comes from.
Though APGA was designed as a national
political party, its founding fathers in their
wisdom thought that first of all, it should
provide Ndigbo a platform to realize their
political and socio-economic aspirations
within the context of a united Nigeria.
But soon after Chief Okorie was squeezed
out of the party, APGA became more or less
a community party. Both Governor Obi and
Umeh come from the same Anaocha local
government area of Anambra State.
That’s not even the main issue. Some
political observers in the South-East said
Obi had surreptiously handed over APGA to
the PDP; a development which they said
would make it difficult if not impossible for
a Nigerian president of Igbo extraction to
emerge even in the next 50 years.
But in the calculation of Governor Okorocha,
APC provides a practical route for an Igbo
man to assume the highest political office in
the land. He, however, reasons that if an
Igbo man fails to become president in 2015
on the platform of APC, at least the vice
presidential slot would be given to a
politician from the zone.
Not a few say the current face-off between
Governor Obi and his Imo State counterpart
has no bearing on Okorocha’s description
of Anambra politicians as cash-and-carry
politicians. They are convinced that the
confrontation between the two Igbo
governors could be located at Okorocha’s
defection from APGA to APC.
More succinctly put, Obi seems to be
sympathetic to the PDP over its current
travails in the hands of some of its high-
heeled members who had left the party in
droves to join the APC. He also seems
unable to understand why a governor in the
South-East, and more so, one elected on the
platform of APGA should also defect to APC.
That perhaps informed the decision of
APGA, which recently pronounced him the
national leader of the party and chairman of
the party’s BoT, has gone to court to
challenge Okorocha’s defection to APC, and
ultimately use the court to remove him as
governor.

Stop generalizing, the only state that has 85% of bad federal and state roads in the SE is IMO STATE. Let me make it clear to you. Stop making it look as though it is a SE thing, it is an IMO STATE thing! Today, Imo State has the worst State and Federal roads. Courtesy of the i.diot in your government house. Simple!

The same APGA through Peter Obi was the party that gave the fat ugly unlettered Okorocha his first election victory. Okorocha has been a wanderer all his life not until 2011 when Peter Obi made him governor.

If Okoroawusa was that popular why didn't he chose any of those parties he had been into, to realize his political ambition? Even Action Alliance(AA) is Okorocha's personal party because he formed it but he abandoned it and went to Anambra to kneel down to Obi to give him a platform.

Abagworo:


Raining abuses on me will not change the fact that Okorocha is the best out of our present political elites. Blaming him for Jonathan's wickedness won't solve the heaps of bad federal roads littered across Southeast and South south. To associate with Northerners and other Nigerians is a good thing. My business is so large and successful because I have all ethnicities including non-Africans working for me.

The man who opened this thread did as a comparison claiming Anambra is better than Imo. You can go back and check. Rochas Okorocha's only sin is refusing to support clueless Jonathan and leaving the Anambra dominated APGA for a more national APC knowing fully well that PDP has no future.
