So you are rooting for Rochas and rooting for Nnamdi Kanu at the same time? Are you aware that Rochas hates Nnamdi kanu, ipob and the biafran struggle with venom? Dude, you are confused!

cremedelacreme:
Nigerian politicians are clowns. What has Jacob Zuma or even South African government done for Imo state or Nigeria as a whole to deserve his statue erected in the state and a major road named after him? How many roads in SA are named after a Nigerian? The only thing we get from SA is our people being killed every day by their police and our government has been mute. Imo civil servants have not been paid for months yet millions of naira was spent on this. Rochas just disappointed me.

encryptjay:
I like Rochas but this is not right. What did Zuma do that made him waste funds like this? No contributions and you're using cash for the betterment of lives for frivolous activities.
Nigerian politicians are sh it!
No empathy exists in their hearts.

BabaRamota1980:
We have always known that Ibo leaders are politically deficient. Ibos refuse to see and acknowledge what we know. They will never admit that the root cause of their problem in Nigeria is their leadership. To our credit, recent events in alaibo is bringing the rot to surface with concrete convinctions that make it extremely hard for Ibos to deny what we have always known and heralded.

1. First they used the media, rallies and siege in Abuja to put pressure on FG to release Kanu from prison. Without a proper plan for his rehabilitation and reintegration they over-promised to manage him and de-escalate the tension caused by his utterances and following.

After release Kanu advanced from a critic to a messiah, anointed by his fellow Ibos who made pilgrimage to his abode to kneel and receive blessings from his holiness Nnamdi Kanu. The madness upsurged and kneeling was no longer a fitting mode in their worship, people now go on all fours, lower their heads and press their lips to kiss his feet.

He was being worshiped! The euphoria of Kanu intoxicates Ibos and leaders did not see anything wrong.


2. Arewa youths ultimatum to Ibos was mismanaged by leaders in North...but doubly mismanaged by Ibo leaders. The youths saw the laxity in Ibo leadership and used the opportunity to quickly occupy a dominant position in the negotiation towards dismantling IPOB.

3. Arewa youths took over "managing Kanu", an action Ibo leaders had promised but could not do. They went on air and announced that there is a condition that must be fulfilled before they can withdra Kaduna Declaration. They asked for Kanu 's bail to be revoked and the man himself returned to prison.

Following this press release by the Arewa criminals, the same people that besieged Kuje for release of Kanu now turned around and started begging the FG to arrest and lock Kanu up.

4. Military rolled armoured trucks into Afaraukwu with very strong intimidation, an exercise they labelled Python Dance II. Ibo leaders did not come out in protest rally and speak up against the exercise.

5. Few days later the exercise was broadened to other places in Abia State. Very soon Army was violating Ibos on their Biafran soil.

6. The army eliminated IPOB stronghold. The Governors of Iboland outlawed IPOB. FG labeled them terrorist.

7. In a followup press briefing the Governors said the invasion, elimination, proscribing and inhumane treatment suffered was justified to bargain against October 1st eviction of Ibos in North.

8. Not long after, army returned with syringes and vaccines to dope Ibos. The leadership failed to manage the risks.

9. Now....an exchange of partnership contracts between NGOs has resulted in the commission of a statue, the adoption of a major road and the honor of chieftaincy for the SouthAfrican partner in the deal. Ibos have been repeatedly discriminated and massacred in South Africa and the citizens of that country, mainly aroused by intolerance to cohabitate with Ibos, have on many occassions asked for all Nigerians for that matter to be expelled from their country. Their President is the one whose statue stand tall in alaibo.

Ibo leadership is the root of the conflicts and intolerance for Ibo citizens in Nigeria or around the globe. They lack proactive action, incapable of originating social policies to marshall their society for greatness, when crisis start they are evasive and easily cajoled into the opponent's camp, they are cowards and prefer comfortable protective shelter than to stick their necks out and stand in line of fire to defend the integrity and honor of their land and people against pressure.

obailala:
How does one explain this kind of madness?

emilfischer:
u have said it all

akanbiaa:
If I were Imo state Governor I would rather clear the outstanding salaries, Pensions and gratuity of workers perhaps the joy the workers will take to pray for me might even make me realize my presidential ambition sooner than I think

Decryptor:


Go and ask him. He's your governor.

DutchBruh:

You must be Rochas Okorocha with a hidden moniker. I don't see how anyone can justify this foolishness at a time he has not cleared workers and pensioners arrears.

NCP:
So wetin make do...

emmasege:
Am pretty sure that Zuma himself didn't expect that high level of wastage on himself, and he actually alluded to that (indirectly ) in his speech.

The extent to which our politicians go just for eye service is really appalling.

Below are some of the reactions from Imo indigenes on social media:

totorimi:
Is that not the same governor that spent tax payers funds to erect a giant bill board of president Obama shaking his hands and called it real change has come.

I'm not surprised at this new statue the man has a complex for meeting presidents but I trust imolites. Just one more killing of an ibo man in SA will see that statue pulled with bare hand .Another wasteful venture that's not Budgeted for. Too bad indeed.

ASK WAT?

OUR FAMILY ISSUE, WAT IS UR BUSINESS? DONT U HAVE UR OWN FAMILY ISSUE? DO U SEE US THERE?

Rick9:
I know that Gov Okorocha, right now would be reveling in the euphoria that he has done something remarkable & outstanding.

What a public display of inanity.

DonCandido:
Okorocha just moved a very critical chess piece in the game! To think we've all been underestimating this man! Respect to all masters of the political game.
