Imo indigenes return home for free education

Places in Benue State, which were populated by the Igbos, appear deserted
ARTICLE | JULY 23, 2011 - 1:07PM | BY ADAEGO OGBULAFOR

Imo State indigenes residing in Benue state are returning back home to enjoy the free education policy of Governor Rochas Okorocha, investigations have revealed.

Okorocha started the actualization of his free education project in Imo State when he told reporters in Owerri, at the beginning of the month, that he has approved the sum of N2.7 billion for the renovation of primary and secondary schools in the 27 local government areas of the state. He, also, announced the introduction of free education from primary to secondary school levels

Then the state Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Barr. Soronnadi Njoku, had on behalf of the governor, said that the sum includes a N100 million allocation made to each of the 27 local government areas as take-off grants of the state Rescue Mission on Health, Security and Education.

Three weeks later, areas within Markudi, the capital of Benue State, which was populated by the Ibos, seems deserted.

A casual visit to places like Wadata, North-Bank and Modern market where the Igbos had rented apartments and shops revealed that most of the occupants had left.

Those left in the areas said their neighbours left for their state with high expectations.

Patrick Enemmuo, a former secretary of Actors Guild of Nigeria, said that the policies of Okorocha's administration might have influenced the decisions of the Igbos to return to their states. 

He said the Okorocha’s policies targets for the less privileged; noting that the governor’s payment of billions in salary arrears convinced the indigenes he is ready to serve. 

“One can imagine that the arrears of entire workforce in Imo for the past 10 years running into billions had also been offset up to date in less than two months and he had also offered to sacrifice his personal emoluments for the development of the state while serving the people.”

He is inspiring many Nigerians. I hope he continues with his work. I hope the other Igbo governors are watching his approach to handling issues.

Why would they not move, because of basic education for their children? People are optimistic about Okorocha and his plans for Imo state.

haba brothers, we should encourage the governor. at least he has the brain to think of such and do it. Now compare him to his predecessors in imo state

even chime and ameachi as things are looking now can not even stand close to him (not that they were doing anything before now)

rochas is trying and he should be encourage so other governors can learn from him as well.

Were they rushing back last month? All they care about is awoof.

Shouldnt they be relocating to develop their villages instead running around the place for free goodies?

Ok since you're not happy and have made it your point of duty to be running after Igbo people with your rascally amala and ewedu legs, why not take 2 tablets of otapiapia like your father awolowo did when he committed suicide, it will help put you out of misery PERMANENTLY, ewu!

i bet you all especially the igbos have love the respect I have given your people. Now dragging Awolowo a man whom I benefited from his polices would not be the right way to go about things.

Insult yoruba people, call then ngbatic Yoruba, call aboki hausa , namanama cow ewu etc I really do not care . Just leave Awolowo and Bello out of this then we all would be cool. Thanks and I am sure you would understand

I think you ought to direct that message of respect to your fellow Yorubas, especially the Fashola arse-licker eko ile, who is having a heart attack because an Igbo state's free education to its citizens.

Lol i am not yoruba if you know me but that aside. Eko ile did not refer to igbo or any ethnic group he was talking about the government free education policy which i kindly objected to as you can see. I believe you can do the same instead of call "yoruba" or awolowo etc. We can see this as a good thing but if a poster object, then the right thing to do is explain to him instead of calling names. Unless ofcourse you are in the "tribalistic section"

Obviously you are unaware to the fact that we Igbos are renown for contributing to our ancestral communities. As far as paying taxes to grow the economy, are your own people doing that?

Also, once the Niger River port is complete, you can expect more of us to flock back to Igboland. That should be a "good thing" for you. More space for your people to do their thing in their land.
