Abagworo: I need a link to what Rochas said in Kano.

I also need the link to that statement if really he said it.

slimghost:

Now i know why someone posted this about you "I know you are very slow on intellectual exercise but very quick to certain human endeavors".

if it took you that long to come to any realisation, then my deduction of you being the dimmest bulb was a stroke of genius.

slimghost:

On your first point, that's arrant nonsense. SO because we weren't the only ones killed there, our leaders should have allowed it to continue? What nonsense?. Rochas goofed big time on that and many igbos are yet to forget that.
Personally, i agree with you on the second point although i don't see that happening.

Describe it any how you like. Rochas is not responsible for the death of Igbos in the North. How many times have they been told to come home? Besides, what power does Rochas, or any SE governor has to stop the boko haram madness. You may think that he goofed, but most Igbos will remember him as the only SE Governor who actually care to check on Igbos in the North during that period.

In anycase, what I still don't get is: Why we must support GEJ when Rochas is contesting as president? Is is that GEJ is a better all round person leader than Rochas? Or we should simply pass this chance and wait until 2015 for some 'messianic' Igbo leader?

slimghost:

Google it yourself.

There's no such statement from Rochas. You people are wicked and full of lies and blackmail.

This is the only source and the links are fake.

Ohaneze were busy doing this

n the aftermath of the January 20 bomb attacks that rocked the commercial city of Kano when militants of Boko Haram sect struck, a total of 500,000 Igbo in the state are known to have been evacuated to their respective country homes in the South-East.

This was confirmed at the weekend by the Kano State chairman of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Tobias Idika, who also revealed that the exercise was continuous.

He told our correspondent in a chat that so far, the figure represents mostly women and children who were traumatised by the devastating Boko Haram attack

According to Idika, over 300,000 of the 500,000 evacuees were handled by Ohanaeze through the Igbo Elders Forum, adding that they dispatched six for the operation.

The remaining 200,000 he said, sponsored their respective movements at different times during the crisis, adding that the exercise was very successful.
He recalled how hundreds of women and children eager to flee the troubled states following the bomb blasts slept on bare floors at the Ohanaeze secretariat in Kano for over a week waiting to be evacuated.

“We remain grateful to the Igbo Elders Forum for this wonderful support and Ndigbo in Kano especially, the beneficiaries have also sent their gratitude to the Forum, for coming to their aid at the time of need.

Idika said at the moment, the evacuation exercise has been suspended to enable them evaluate the situation which outcome will decide the next step to take.

While Rochas was busy doing this

Kano — The Imo State Governor Chief Rochas Okorocha has said that all the phone calls and text messages sent to the East that Igbo indigenes living in Kano were massacred in Kano during the last Friday series of bomb blasts were false and baseless rumors that have no basis.



Okorocha told Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso that he was personally disturbed at the rate of phone calls and text messages that were sent to the east that many soles of Igbo people were killed in the multiple bomb blasts of Kano which necessitated his visit to see for himself.

The Imo governor noted that on his arrival he went to Sabon Gari where many of his people live, ' but after going round and meeting with virtually everybody all of them denied that the story of killings of Igbo people were cooked for unknown reason, as such they are baseless and unfounded'.

He said already he had directed that all those that have started running away to stay behind as there was no basis for their leaving Kano, as the government of Kwankwaso is doing all it could to ensure the safety of all the non indigenes and the teeming people of the state.



He said that Igbo's were assets not only to themselves to the nation wherever they go.

"Igbos are never a threat to anybody because what concerns an Igbo man is his business, that is why they should be seen as brothers not enemies', he said.

He said Nigeria is facing a more fundamental and challenging period that requires all its citizenry to come together and solve them, he said they must see themselves as their brothers' keepers not enemies as some want to see them.


He urged the federal government to provide more security to Kano because of its population and cosmopolitan nature, just as he urged Kwankwaso to give more priority in times of security to areas like Sabon Gari so that non indigenes should feel safe and at home.

He assured that Nigeria would come out with a more brighter future from the challenges they are facing, '"but this does not mean we should fold our arms and leave the evil ones among us to continue to control our lives, we have to do something to stop them."

Where's the link you liar?

Sincere 9gerian: God forbid Rochas as president of Nigeria. I would rather support Nuhu Ribadu, Fashola, Oshiomole, Okonjo Iweala, Charles Soludo, Oby Ezekwesili, Donald Duke, Namadi Sambo, Peter Obi, Dora Akunyili, etc than support Rochas. Rochas is a complete clown. Forget his verbal diarrhea. If by accident he happens to be elected president of Nigeria, he'll DESTROY this country. His madness should start and end at the state govt level.

@Sincere9geria, In as much as i love your ways of analyzing issues but on this i beg to disagree with you. How can a sane man like you kick against the idea of Rochas becoming president, can you point out reasons why GEJ is better than Rochas?

What every concerned igbo is saying is, we are not interested in VP position. Though i am one of those who criticized Rochas when he joined unregistered APC and my position haven't changed yet, reason because Igbos were not consulted during the formation of the party (APC)for that reason Rochas and other igbos who forced themselves into that party without been consulted has no say in the party. Secondly, the means Rochas entered the APC raised a lot of questions among igbos, he created controversy in APGA which happened to be our regionally party. However, all these won't be enough reason for any sane igbo to support GEJ over Rochas.

Sincere9ria,Chino,Okija juju and slimghost, you guys are not trying at all. Rochas is one of the best Governor in Nigeria today. You all should advice yourselves and drop this nonsensical political supremacy mentality some of you anambras used to show to other Eastern states.

I'm still waiting for the link.

Apart from few imo state people, rest of the SE hates that clown with passion. Maybe you don't know the reasons??

Keep dreaming.

Speak for yourself as you're not Imo people, SE, nor Igbos mouthpiece...It is only a blind and lame clown that will hate Rochas Okorocha in this life.

Here is the link you bloody sycophant. Shame on you a thousand times.

The Imo governor noted that on his arrival he went to Sabon Gari where many of his people live, ' but after going round and meeting with virtually everybody all of them denied that the story of killings of Igbo people were cooked for unknown reason, as such they are baseless and unfounded'.

He was in Kano; and had meeting with many in Sabo Gari. Perhaps couldn't meet everyone personally, but he did make an attempt. Question is, how many other Igbo leaders did this at that time?

He said already he had directed that all those that have started running away to stay behind as there was no basis for their leaving Kano, as the government of Kwankwaso is doing all it could to ensure the safety of all the non indigenes and the teeming people of the state.

That's is right call for a leader. Even if he ask them to leave. They won't leave, at least not all of them.

He said that Igbo's were assets not only to themselves to the nation wherever they go.

"Igbos are never a threat to anybody because what concerns an Igbo man is his business, that is why they should be seen as brothers not enemies', he said.

Am done giving you attention.Believe whatever you want to but when the time comes, we Igbos will talk to Rochas. Keep on deceiving yourself.

My brother, kudos for adding to your voice to this. I don't also like the way and manner Rochas treated APGA, but if he lands the APC Presidential ticket why should we begrudge him his price? I don't know why we should wait for 2019 for a president of SE extraction, when Rochas is available, willing, and able. I think those kicking against Rochas as President have ulterior motives.

My guy quit prancing around. It's a greater betrayal to hang Rochas to dry for foolish pride! We true Igbo will need no prompting to drop GEJ for Rochas, a better all round leader, when the time come. Blood is always thicker than water!

chino24: God forbid, we Igbos supporting an hausa man masquerading as an Igboman. Sacrilegious.

TUFIAKWA!!!!!!!

This is highest level of bigotry i have ever witnessed, you cant even vote for a fellow igbo because he lived in the north and you want nigerian to have an igbo president? Thats instructive, very instructive.

gbanikiti: Unfortunately, am not like you who castigates and say negative comments about Rochas because he has blocked all the routes in which you feed fat from the previous government. I have never seen Rochas since i was born. I don't belong to any political party and i don't intend to have anything to do with politics. Am just an ordinary Nigerian who says my mind on good or bad governance. If you think am a paid agent like you and your likes, you miss road! you have totally lost my respect on this forum.

I am sure you are seriously delusional. Who gives a hoot about your respect or lack thereof? I did not navigate to nairaland forum in order to haul respects but to help dispel rumors, innuendos and propaganda deliberately planted in the Nigeria news media against Ndigbo.

As for Ohakim or silly Rochas Okorocha, I have not received any cent from a Nigerian leader talk less classless governors from Imo State. There is nothing in Okorocha’s possession that I need, not even the governorship of Imo State. I have everything a successful human being can think and thankful to creator for such feat.

Unlike you and ilk, Okorocha, I shall not leave my business entity on a run for a useless presidency of the jungle called Nigeria. I had wakeup from a bad dream if called to lead Nigeria.

Personally, I would like to see Rochas/Ribadu combo!

Double R! Double Respect!

Abagworo: Many people were commenting without verification. If not that I decided to verify, I would have believed same. Shame on all those that drafted this falsehood and spread on social media.

Are you saying Rochas didn't make the comment Slimghost accused him of? The fact is that Rochas is too desperate, mind you he is my Governor and i love him but i never failed to call him out whenever he displayed he's political desperation.

Rochas made that statement and many igbo leaders faulted him for uttering such statement. Like i said before Rochas has his short comings likewise everyone of us hence we igbos MUST support him more than we did for GEJ. Sincere9ria, i am calling on you to channel your campaign energy to Rochas and sell him to Nigerians only if him Rochas formerly declared interest to contest rather than supporting GEJ against our own.

PointB:

My guy quit prancing around. It's a greater betrayal to hang Rochas to dry for foolish pride! We true Igbo will need no prompting to drop GEJ for Rochas, a better all round leader, when the time come. Blood is always thicker than water!

And in your warped mind you think this is a GEJ vs Rochas case? My guy, its Rochas vs Igbos. If APC presents him as their candidate, I can easily forgive all his atrocities and stand behind him but if not, woe betide him for allowing his brothers use him to gain political power. Its a politics of regional interest and my region comes first. Rochas needs to understand that too.
