The tree looks amazing but the cost is whopping,it is nit worth the trouble. With that amount he could plant hectares of timbers for commercial, industrial uses and environmental rejuvenation.

He's a conman of the highest standard. Duping unsuspecting citizens of the state. Because indigines would be returning this xmas; he has beautified the state. performing shambolic painting, hoisting signboards of fictitious projects,substandard road constructions that wouldn't last January

He is the definition of a con artist

The Reaction Of Nigerians For The Christmas Tree That Cost Imo State Govt N600 Million
[img]http://2.bp..com/-UCh61UNLO00/VnwpaaXvAvI/AAAAAAAABEo/sfeMbEdgFPo/s640/christmas%2Btree.jpg[/img]

Earlier this month, Governor Rochas Okorocha reportedly approved N600 million for this Christmas tree and New Year decorations.

The cost is really shocking considering the fact that the state workers have not been paid salaries for several months.

Undoubtedly, the tree and its price have triggered emotional reactions among Nigerians who started blaming Governor Okorocha, appealing to his conscience.

OP, did you verify he actually spent that money on the tree? I doubt any politician would be that stup1d(even in Nigeria).
That's the issue with most of your guys. You post a story here that's absolutely BS and the sheep get wind up.

lies.
Igbo pple r funny.
I HV seen this picture some years back.
This is Northern Nigeria not IMO.

I swear, dis rudchas no sick oo but, e nn well at all..... M600 for flawa abi wetin?

If this story is true, this is the best time for all Imolites to revolt. Such revolution should be the one that will force the governor to vacate his seat immediately. His house should equally be burnt down.

Revolt The imolites re enjoying themselves and we r here crying over split milk. Go to override in d night and see d crowd of pple there taking selfies. Bit old n young. Remember d saying if u can't beat them u join them. But at night d decorations re beautiful. Let's leave d Imo pple to complain n fight for justice. But from Wat I saw over d wkend I think they r enjoying their 600m decorations lol

Change

They re-elected him, despite knowing who he really was. It's unfortunate though. The best Christmas gift would have been to pay all worker's outstanding salaries. The man is evil in a nice way.

N600m for Christmas
decoration: Okorocha
slams Ihedioha
By Ameh Comrade Godwin on December 4, 2015 @dailypostngr
Imo State Governor, Rochas Owelle Okorocha has replied former Deputy Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Chief Emeka Ihedioha, over his recent media attack on him.
Ihedioha had claimed that the governor was earmarking
N600 million for decorations for the yuletide season.
Speaking through a press statement signed by his Chief
Press Secretary, Sam Onwuemeodo, the governor said he
was shocked that Ihedioha decided to attack him in the
media without verification.


“On our part, we feel for Chief Ihedioha, that, a former
Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives and a
member of that House for 12 years, could rush to the media
to attack the governor over what he claimed to have read
about the governor earmarking N600million for decorations,
and not that the governor has spent the amount on the
issue, and he could not also disclose the source of the
report for it to be believed”, Onwuemeodo stated.


Onwuemeodo also challenged Chief Ihedioha and the PDP
to catalogue and publish their achievements for the 12
years they governed the state and let Governor Okorocha
publish his own achievements for the period he has held
sway.


“We also challenge Chief Ihedioha to tell Imo people why the
Owerri-Port Harcourt road, Aba-Owerri road, Umuahia-
Owerri road could not be finished when he was number
seven citizen in the country as the Deputy Speaker of House
of Representatives.


“Let him also publish the list of NDDC projects for the state
and the contractors,” Onwuemeodo said.

I thought I was going to read the actual amounts and the true picture of things. If someone alleges you used N600m in decorations in a state where people are suffering I think it should be of urgency for you to give a correct counter narrative absent of which you are fully culpable.
It's all over the media and till this morning no reasonable correct counter narrative. I will conclude Okorocha is a disappointment to Imolites.

that's the hungry fool we contributed money to run for election in 2011...fast forward to today, he claims he was a multi billionaire

#MyThoughts

1. Sometimes I still wonder how and why Imo people re-elected him, rochas to office.
2. Sometimes I don't pity them since they voted him again not minding the handwriting on the wall.
3. Sometimes I also think it was a stolen mandate by rochas & APC.
4. And again, sometimes I think "had it been PDP brought a better candidate in the last governorship election, this dude wouldn't still be there as our governor.

I only just wonder!

In Murray Bruce slang..i just want to make common sense! Smh

imported from heaven

I'm sorry, but last I heard, IMO STATE GOVERNMENT HAS PAID WORKERS THEIR SALARIES TO THE LAST PENNY. WHY ISNT ANYONE REPORTING THAT?

People are too many in the markets because there's money to make your purchases. Rochas paid 10 months salaries.

IMO is calm and people are happy and celebrating. It's only online you see these kind of comments. Why is that?

If that is true the man no try,pple are crying for their salary to feed their families while the govnor is bizzy spendin that kind of money for flower
