ImperialYoruba:


I dont care if its German Orthodox or Greek Orthodox...it is not Nigerian, period! We need Nigerian name on that street.

Should we change Nnamdi Azikiwe street in Lagos to Oba Akiolu Street?

You guys should let go of your ignorance for once. Drop this possessiveness about your region and givr to others in your house what you demand when you go to theirs.

is usman Dan fodio a Nigerian? Yet we have university and many roads named after him in the North. By the way, how many roads did they rename to Jonathan? This okoroawusa has gone far in his sycophancy.

This is the beginning of the end of his political carrier, Ohakim did not do half of this, he can not get up again. I am not a Catholic, but he should have honored the faith of the Catholics. The Arch Bishop supported him to prevent him from being rigged out in 2011, See how Rochas is paying him back. Do not be surprised if he did not get up again politically.

emmie14:


We don't want that name changed to anything. Not even catholic name. That is heritage. Not about buhari nit about religion. Nit about Hausa.

It is about religion and it is boldly written in the post.

Until Nigeria conquer religious and tribal problems, we ain't moving an inch.

Why are you all over the place menstruating on a matter that doesn't concern you........you need to revisit your curriculum vitae asap. ......Joblessness should not be condoned

ImperialYoruba:


You whine about other's hatred for you but look at how much love you show others.

They named a street to honor your President and you are complaining about an Italian Maria. Is Italy the origin of Christianity?

Get lost!

Calm down everyone.....if majority of imolites don't want the avenue named after PMB.......patiently wait the next election vote for someone you are sure will change the name of the road to the name majority of imolites want .....

SMH. We are all entitled to our opinions though however vague it might turn out to be. Streets are usually named after the first person to build a house there or the richest or other reasons. For example, there is University market road in Nsukka, then you decide to change it to even Odumegwu Ojukwu Road, the university community will protest (let alone changing it to Muhammed Buhari Road). Imagine changing Oja Oba (most yoruba markets close to the palace are called Oja Oba) to Obafemi Awolowo Market (let alone changing it to Muhammed Buhari Market). You can say all you want because its not happening in your state but thats the problem whe have in Nigeria and Africa at large and until the youths change their perceptions, it will continue. Read my previous response to another NLder as regards why you can see igbo, hausa and other ethnic group names in Lagos and Abuja. Have you seen such in Ogun, Oyo, Ondo, Sokoto, taraba, Lokoja? If that is your problem maybe if you guys make any of the Eastern states the capital of Nigeria, then that wouldnt be a problem.

Rashduct4luv:
Assuming it's Muslims kicking against street renaming with a Christian name now, they would have been shouting intolerance.

Well, from experience, Igbo Christians are the most tribalistic Muslimophobe in Nigeria.

They can come to Lagos and see street names in Igbo, Hausa despite church or mosque present.

Even see the name, Latin name in Nigeria, do Italians use Igbo names too?

He was a Nigerian

That is very commendable from OKOROCHA the next senate president of the Nigerian senate from 2019

Okorocha is the only igbo that knows politics. Let them continue with their hatred, that was why minister of labour could have been the sp but cos of their hatred and short sightedness they failed. They're repeating the same with Okorocha and they would start shouting leflendum when they loss at national level again

HeyCorleone:


You're non compos mentis, so you shall be excused.

pls get sense once in ur life, was ur street name changed to nnamdi azikiwe or was created, rochas could have gone to create new road and name it muhamed buhari rather changin alrdy knwn area dats nt worth changin to Muhammad buharis road

Balkan:
This Hausa man parrading himself as an Igbo man is turning Owerri into an
Islamic state with impunity.

Okoro Awusa, why not build your own road and name it after Buhari rather changing a name of existing road properly named, after you God Buhari.

We are in for more shocker

sorry ehn
pele

The government have too much power and those that are supposed to regulate them seem to have switched off completely.

ImperialYoruba:


I dont give a fck if you are Yoruba or Hausa, an Italian Maria can be displaced in honor of a sitting President. The Governor made that choice. Stop crying over it.

Go to VI in Lagos, all the streets and boulevard used to be foreigners, some are still, but many have been replaced to honor home grown politicians. Ribadu Rd, Ozumba Mbadiwe Rd, Awolowo Rd, Adetokunbo Ademola Rd.

Go to Kano and see Church Street, Ibo Rd, Yoruba Rd, Niger Rd, Port Harcourt Rd.

Go to Ibadan, go to Abuja, go to Kaduna.

Why is Ibos always making noise and demanding exemptions from rules that others follow without complaint or noise?

GyitOuttaHeer!

Shut up! I am Yoruba and I see sense in what the igbos are saying. How would you feel if the road leading to iga idugaran is named Nnamdi Kanu Street?

The Governor should have chosen another road to edify Mohammedu Buhari who is even hated in that part of the country. And islamophobes are not to be blamed for their aversion to Islam due to the carnage the religion has wrought on other religions.

Ndi IMO ndo

Obiano did well in his state. Have you worked as an electoral offier during elections before? Are you even a Nigerian? As long as there is election there will be rigging. As long as there are registered voters, even if the number of people that will vote during a particular electon will not be up to 20%, the riggers will make it up to mark like a standard solution. Just like there will always be armed robbers, touts, scammers, unemployed youths, there will always be people who will avail them selves as tools.

babyfaceafrica:
he can impose...it is the indigenes that will not vote....you cannot rig if the people refuse to play game...people complain about rigging... But we are accomplices too...in anambra did willy not win... Did other parties not try to rig?... The people wanted obiano!!..let us shun all this religious and tribal distractions....... After all... Most of us are religious not spiritual

This is a different situation. The dynamics cannot be explained as hate as the Catholics in imo state want to preserve an historical monument (the church) which the road has been named after for centuries. The Governor can look for other roads in the state to name after Buhari. It is a very simple matter that can be resolved if only Rochas thinks it through.

You understand my brother. If you go to FUTO ad build a hostel and name it after BUHARi no problem. maybe he even funded it. But not changing a monumental road. Imagine Obiano changing Upper Iweka to Mohammed Buhari Road? Haba!!!!!!!!!

There is time for everything... And I must tell you that you lack that wisdom to know this going by the current of dissatisfaction going on in the country on which there has never been a more divided Nigeria than we currently have... Trust me, Rocha's politics ends after he leaves as NO sane imolite will vote for his chosen candidate.

Why does is derive sexual pleasure in stinging his own people and making them a mockery in committee of states?

He is obviously doing all this to make the north to pick him as the only trusted Igbo man from the entire east that is fit to be given the presidency. But what about after doing all these things he failed to get it?

Rochaaaaaasssssss oooo

Rochaaaas

tribalistseun:
if you're a Christain then I say shame on you. May you remain cursed like Buhari and Rochas in Jesus mighty name

And, is this what Christianity all about? To curse men. Even using the name of the Lord? And you said shame to him.

Okorocha is deseprate to be recognised by buhari n made vice president by his hausa masters. That is his choice but this his actiion shows he has no brain. He is destroying APC in imo state by so doing bcs catholics will dump the party n they are in greater majority in imo.

ImperialYoruba:
You all should calm down right now!

Maria Asumpta is not a Nigerian. Mohammadu Buhari is a Nigerian. Be patriotic please and calm your nerves.

Maria Assumpta is not a Nigerian? please where is she from? What a foolish line of thought. Did any call her Nigerian? And who are those 13 persons that liked this comment?

Bro don't let tribalism and religious bigotry cloud your judgement, learn to reason from a neutral ground. Maria Assumpta is not anyone's name, it simply means Assumption of Mary.
#Peace

2019,we should come outin mass and vote Rochas with his company out,the new governor who will actually represent the people will automatically change the name of the road,bulldoze those irresponsible statues erected around every cronies of Owerri

thoth:
Imo people are docile, stupid, selfish and useless, had it been there's a third tenure they'll still vote Okorocha, just give them 500 naira at the polling booth. stupid bastards.

you are the stupid one here.

.if you don't have something good to say then shut the fvck up!

you don't have to insult Imo people before you make a point.

mtchhheeeewwww!

I don't feel the church's sentiments are unfounded. This is not a tribalism issue so imperialyoruba take a chill pill. It's about what the people hold dear. As per naming streets after non indigenes, I think the Igbos have had their fair share. There's a street in the heart of Aba called Dan Fodio (named after Usman Dan fodio), there's Yaradua drive in Owerri, IBB road and Hadija street in Enugu...I can go on and on. ImperialYoruba and Rashduct4luv you guys have never travelled the length and breadth of this country so stfu.

By the way, I think what Rochas has been exhibiting are the after effects of that spiritual slap. Please let's pray for him.

Okorocha has cloned his people like Nintendo

The church brought the huge Development in that region, I still remember when catholic all over Nigeria do have programme in that church, its not just about the name but respect should be giving to what that church has done to IMO state in terms of tourism, its used to be the biggest church in Nigeria then.
Any other road can be named after the president, Rochas rode on the catholic church to assume power then with ohakim said to have slapped a priest.
Very insensitive
