Nigerians Are Wondering Why Jacob Zuma Now Has A Statue In Their Country - CNN by Nobody: 6:25am On Oct 17, 2017
South African President Jacob Zuma visited Nigeria's Imo state on Friday and had a giant bronze statue unveiled in his honor, a decision that has caused outrage in some parts of the country.

The two-day visit happened just as South Africa's Supreme Court ruled that President Zuma should face corruption charges.

Zuma visited Governor Rochas Okorocha in Owerri in a surprise visit that was only announced the same day by the South Africa presidency.
As well as the statue, Zuma was given a chiefaincy title and had a road named after him.

Local media reported that the cost of the statue was around 520million Naira -- equivalent to $1.4 million.
Okorocha also conferred on Zuma the Imo Merit Award, the highest award the state gives to distinguished individuals.

As he unveiled the statue, Okorocha said: "We have decided to honor you for your love for education, though you were deprived in your early days in life but you are working to make sure that every poor child went to school.

"Your love for education to us is the connection between you and government and the people of Imo State."

Okorocha and President Zuma also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that will provide free education for poor children on the continent, according to local media reports.
Nigerians have weighed in on Twitter expressing their opinions on the statue of Zuma.

You can all see the reason sensible nig Igbo's won't support Rochas for presidency. This man is bereft of ideas and a disgrace to the common Igbo man.

Possibly he did this to secure a safe haven in SA after his tenure as govnr is over. Shame on nig this country will never get better.

Okorocha is suffering from serious inferiority complex

Was it not him that made a giant billboard for shaking obama and a part of his achievement in office.

He is a disgrace to south easterners, now he is disgracing the entire country with his stupidity.

Ironically our leaders don't patronize our own, since he wants to criminalize his state, he should have opted for Abacha, Ibori, Diezani or Dino...





Nigerians are the most gullible people I know.

Rochas Okorocha is a disgrace to Nigeria as a country,the APC as a party, a disgrace to the south as a whole and also a disgrace to the south-east or wherever he is from,infact he’s a disgrace to everyone bearing the name Rochas,Okorocha or both

On behalf of the aforementioned people we donate him to the South African police to do with him as they please
