Ladies and Gentlemen,The D day is finally here. Rochas the clown is about to unveil his next statue. And guess whom!!! The first female president of Liberia.
Imo state workers are been owned salaries yet Rochas is spending millions of naira to invite all the 54 presidents in Africa and unveil a statue in their honour.
Is this not wickedness? What have these African presidents done to IMO state that will warrant a statue to be erected in Their honour.

I know Rochas was so good before he was elected but off course Power corrupts but absolute power corrupt more.

It's been there for a while. Most of the people still alive that have their statue at Imo hall of fame will likely unveil them personally. The first was Akufo-Addo of Ghana followed by Jacob Zuma of South Africa. Imo is the headquarters of free education in Africa and the African Union University is to be sited in Owerri.

Sirleaf was born in Monrovia to a Gola father and Kru-German mother. She was educated at the College of West Africa before moving to the United States, where she studied at Madison Business College and Harvard University. She returned to Liberia to work in William Tolbert's government as Assistant Minister of Finance from 1973–74 and Minister of Finance from 1979–80. After Samuel Doe seized power in a coup d'état and executed Tolbert, Sirleaf fled to the U.S. She worked for the World Bank before moving to Nairobi, where she worked for Citibank and then the Equator Bank.

After returning to Liberia, Sirleaf ran for office, placing second in the 1997 presidential election won by Charles Taylor. She won the 2005 presidential election and took office on 16 January 2006. She was re-elected in 2011. In June 2016, she was elected as the Chair of the Economic Community of West African States, making her the first woman to occupy that position since it was formed.

In 2011, Sirleaf was jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize with Leymah Gbowee of Liberia and Tawakkol Karman of Yemen. The women were recognized "for their non-violent struggle for the safety of women and for women's rights to full participation in peace-building work."

Sirleaf was conferred the Indira Gandhi Prize by President of India Pranab Mukherjee on 12 September 2013. As of 2016, she is listed as the 83rd-most powerful woman in the world by Forbes magazine.

Nothing is good in the eyes of the wicked. Even if the leaders do something the wicked will always find a way to deny them. The world appreciates the free education in Imo State and the free education given to poor students from all over Africa by Rochas foundation and that's the reason for the visit of the most powerful people to the State.

Please keep educating these people. They think people that will ignore almighty Abuja and come to Imo state are ordinary African leaders. Kudos Owelle ndi Igbo jaree!
