5.5 Million Birthday Splash: Igbos Reject Rochas' Gift. by Intelligence: 3:06am On Sep 22, 2017
You'll recall that a couple of days back, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, the Executive Governor of Imo State marked his 55th birthday anniversary during which he launched the project #555555 which translates to 5 Scholarship positions for 5 African students from 55 African countries on his 55th birthday. He also received 27 birthday cakes from women representing each of the 27 Local Government Areas in Imo State but the remarkable event that happened was the generous give away of 5.5 million naira by the govenor to be shared on a facebook group (Igboist Facebook group) reported to be the largest Igbo dominated online forum.

The sharing of the money began on Wednesday through various contests but what was suppossed to be a scene of merry turned otherwise as people started raining abuses on the Governor. While some alleged that the money was 'blood money', others claimed that it was misappropriated from the Imo treasury. Many called on the Govenor to use the money to pay state workers, health officers and pensioners rather than lavish it on unnecessary free for all money fall.

[b] Nigerians are tolerating bad leaders, suffering and smiling because it has become part of them. Imagine our dear Lagos rated among the worst city on earth consistently and some people rise up in defence, Kai! Imagine the tough struggle we pass through to go to school only to pass out jobless, roaming the streets. . .

Nigerians are like that housewife who is going through life threatening domestic violence in her home but won't leave the man. In fact when she leaves the abusive man for a better human she can't stay. She goes back to beg her abusive ex to take her back. Why? Because she likes drama, it's her nature and she enjoys the violence. She considers the humane husband as not man enough, clueless!
See her face na - the bruised chin, the knocked out teeth, the broken nose, one eye is left and that is already blackened, the broken limbs and the broken waist.
See Nigeria, a sad story of once beautiful damsel courted by many suitors but now abandoned to one wicked tyrant and no longer fit to be called a woman!
