gratiaeo: what a bomba xmas for Imo people! today Owelle has done it again. all the 637 traditional rulers in the state, went home smiling as splashes xmas gift to them. approves 30000naira each for the Ezes, 10000 naira each for their wives and a bag of rice each. Tomorrow will be for workers, Imo is getting "better".............. are they (Ndi Eze) lossing the respect as a traditional ruler or is it the right way?

Ikengawo: This man needs to be arrested. Imo used to be a shining standard in the whole of Nigeria. We're in the grasp of a lunatic

Sunny_bobo:

Are Imo traditional rulers and their eives that cheap and hungry? While Obi shared SUVs, Rochas is sharing #30,000 and rice. SMH!

CFCfan:

I share your sentiments. Why on Earth should a Governor be splashing Imo State funds on traditional rulers. Are they officials of the State government?

naijaking1: My Eze has 12 wives. Will that be 120, 000 naira for the wives and 30,000 for him?

IKEMBA NNEWI: [b] Sincerely speaking i'm not a fan of how we(Igbos) most times pull our own down, Rochas is dolling out just a meagre #30,000 to tradtional rulers and it's a big news. But neither of you said anything when P.Obi distributed 200 Suvs to traditional rulers in an election season. We all might despise Rochas for dumping 'Our' party to join the party of you know who, but that should not blind us into not commmending something good when we see one. Tell me, what initiative of Rochas have we ever applauded since he left Apga? Need i remind you sycophants that Rochas Remains the only Governor in the East that has properly immortalised Ojukwu? He was the 1st person to build and rename a cultural centre in his name and Heroe's square in Owerri is in Ojukwu's memory. What have other Governor's in the east done for our great Ikemba? P.obi renamed an already named street after him and named a university just few days to election in his name( we all know what for). I hate it when people pokenose unneccesarily. Imo people elected Rochas, they should be the ones to tackle him if they feel he's stepping out of bounds! The rest of you should just go and face your villages! O ginidi! Rochas this, Rochas that! Go and get a life @ OP![/b]

Feraz: What in the world is wrong with SEastern governors? First, it was Peter Obi of Anambra state and now, it is Rochas of Imo state. Tomorrow, it will be T.A. Orji (that is if he hasn't done his). I think those of us travelling this xmas should make it a point of duty to always visit the state house and demand for better governance and demand that they stop this reckless spending of the state monetary resources.

Ikengawo: Orji is only considered a bad governor on the internet. Don't be fooled by this communication device. It's a communication and thus governors that put efforts into communication the most such as the APC ones and Rochas, look like heros while one's that have no time for twitter and facebook like many in the the middle belt, the governor of ebonyi, and imoke are either forgotten or look like they're 'not doing anything'.

I can tell you that pound for pound Orji is doing and has done a LOT more for his state than Rochas. It has nothing to do with joining any party. People are tired of Rochas being an eccentric noisemaker because our state is becoming a joke and nothing is truly happening. It's looking like quite effective governance is what the SE prefers, trying to strum up a cult of personality and deify yourself because you're governor is alien to us and right now i feel like my state is falling behind while Anambra, Abia, Enugu and Ebonyi are moving forward. If you don't believe me, tell and show me what Rochas has done in Imo.

Rochas has been stealing land in Owerri, he came to Houston Texas not to long ago and was giving out Imo State's money like it was water. He's using our resources to fund failed APC campaigns like Ngige. He hired a nude model as our youth ambassador, indebted our state, and allowed Osun to house it's indigines in our state for the sake of destroying law and order in Anambra.

Now he's giving out bags of rice to hungry bastards, why? Because it will make noise on the internet. This guy is not governing like a modern igbo man, his mentality is foreign and his mannerisms are abominable.

NnamdiN: easy with your lies bro. Is Aba not part of Abia state? Went there yesterday,it was worse than how I left it 7 years ago.
calling T.A orji an underperformer is an insult to underperformers. He's the worst governor in the world bro. The very worst. Wonder what Abia people did to deserve that kinda curse

Abagworo:

Keep on dying in bitterness. Unlike Jonathan, Rochas has continued to work amidst attacks from your likes who see the truth and write lies. Infact he shouldn't even have given them at all. Left for me its better to give it to selected poor people.

Rochas tried to move IMSU to his already acquired land and people were fighting him and prefer IMSU to remain a glorified school. As a democrat, he heeded to the call to abort the move.

The only thing I hold against Rochas is that he's correcting the mistake of badly constructed roads done by the past regimes like Wetheral, Bank Road, Orlu Road and Okigwe Road while his own Roads are exactly like the old ones he's busy correcting. However I must give it to him for successfully managing our meagre ENORMOUS resources amidst several difficulties to achieve the level of work done in 2 and half years even though most are not completed.

IKEMBA NNEWI: you call #197 billion meagre resource? Do you know Sullivan will change Enugu to Durban with that amount @ his disposal?That's like the Budget of Anambra and Enugu trumped together! Imo has money, just that you guys have not been so lucky with your leaders! I expect Imo's budget to be higher than #200B for 2014.

Abagworo:

I don't know about that [s]but what I really know is that Imo, Abia, Enugu and Anambra receive almost equal allocation which ranges between 2.8billion and 3.5billion at most[/s]. All the Southeast States have meagre allocations as I've always acknowledged but going by Rochas pace, by the time he stays 6 and half years like most other Governors, the changes will be tremendous. People fail to recognize the fact that he has 4 years gap to meet up with before comparing his completed projects with others.

IKEMBA NNEWI:
OWERRI—Imo State governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, has
presented a budget proposal of N197,743,684,031 to the
state House of Assembly for the 2013 fiscal year
http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/12/okorocha-presents-2013-budget-to-assembly/

Enugu State Governor, Mr. Sullivan Chime on Wednesday
signed the 2013 state’s appropriation bill of over
eighty-three billion naira (83,785,203,408) into law.

http://dailypost.com.ng/2013/03/06/chime-signs-n83billion-enugu-2013-budget-into-law/
can you now see the folly in your assertions? While Chime works with a meagre #83B, Rochas woks with twice that and you expect Rochas to be applauded if he performs no better than Chime? Please throw that ''SE gets meagre resources'' notion into the gutter, cos it's glaring Clear some states are richer than others!
