Nobody would answer you here due to the state of insecurity in Nigeria these days . Its best you tell the individual to stay at home .

@Boneruns,
I understand some of them were reinstated after due process. But seriously how did 10,000 materialize towards the tail end of the old regime? What were they all employed to do? Do you think it's out of place to call such magical job creation a political gambit by Ohakim?

Where is the source of this story?? Ghanaweb. Why didnt any of our news houses report this?? hmmmmm. Not even Guardian and Vanguard of all ppl.
Clearing ghost workers aint a bad idea, after all their names just emerged from the blues. The man wants to reduce the cost of governance. Matter close. He awards contracts only to those that have the financial muscle to execute it. He is operating on post paid mode. No more disappearance of contractors of reciept of mobilization fee.

They few reinstated workers were those who actually cut corners to get the job; I can testify to this. Moreover, they are still at home! Rochas has been employing delaying tactics.

Most of the 10,000 workers were mostly teachers. Imo state is really lacking qualified teachers. Please, ask anyone who stays in Owerri.

whr is d SYCOPHANT dat posted dis trash?! U cnt evn stand and defend dis unconfounded piece of shit! Ohaneze for sabon gari, dat's jt d begining, if i may ask, na rochas put dem 4 kano state? He owe dem any visit?? I swear enta oweri talk dis rubish, imo ppl will stone u, road wey sam mbakwe build 4 oweri since 1980 na only dis present govt get sense to maintain am after over 20yrs! Hw many governors can dedicate 73% of dia allocatn on capital projects U dy find 10,000jobs after spending ur whole mumu lyf investin in d north, job wey who keep u wan work! Hw many companies d ohaneze idiot erect in his home state? dem go giv am work for air?, i swear if nemesis no catch up wit detractors like u eh,

A politician is always one, forget the rhetorics abegi.

boneruns:

Not all were political appointees. Most 10,000 workers resigned from their previous jobs just to serve their homeland.

Thank God for common sense responses like the above!

The State never presented information to show that the 10,000 people hired by the last administration, only to be fired by this present administration, were all not placed in neccessary positions.

There are accounts online of people from people has already started work in legit areas, only to loose their job with no real reason given, months later.

Ohakim's allies are still crying wolf.

It is obvious the Eze guy is an Ohakim apologist that lost out big time during the elections. What exactly is his grouch? Is it the fact that Rochas knowing he is an Ohakim apologist did not pay him any mind during his kano visit or that Rochas dismantled the fictitous 10,000 jobs that all of a sudden came up in the last leg to the elections?
This man Eze is bitter for personal reasons, he can't stay put in Kano and tell me what is obtainable in Imo state. My cousin was one of the 10,000 people Ohakim promised jobs for over 6months only for him to start disdtributing letters of appointment just weeks to the elections, only an eeediot will deny to see the antics that was being employed there.
In the first place, how do you employ 10,000 redundant workers to do jobs that do not exist. Of course, the case would have been like that of Aregbesola where in his bid to be popular employed 20,000 unproductive people and was paying them over N200,000,000 every month for doing nothing productive.
Let's be honest, what will these people employed be doing in the service that is already bloated with ghost workers and the likes. You and I know they will only constitute a conduit for wasteful expenditure every month when there are many projects begging for funds.
It is only in Nigeria government creates jobs by merely employing people even when they wont be doing anything productive to help generate monies that will be paid to them as salaries. If you must employ, make sure there are vacancies for jobs, where the employed will actually work and earn their salaries. It is folly to take the populist route and employ people just to give a placebo to the gullible public that the problem of employment was being solved through unplanned, indiscriminate employment by government for non-existent jobs.
Eze should have told us where Rochas should have engaged Ohakim's 10,000 workers. He should have told us that close to 90% of them had not even started the so-called job as at the time Rochas scrapped the fraud, I wonder who he claims had been thrown out of jobs when in the first place they had to wait forever until Ohakim needed a re-election.
He did not tell us that the reason even Ohakim his friend took so long and could not come up with any job for the 10,000 youths was because there was never any job for them, there was no space to absorb them. The whole decision to employ 10,000 youths was  borne out of a dishonest political move and nothing concrete.
People need to be honest when making their comments and stop picking the sides that help their insincere arguments alone.

Anywho . . . .

. . . . . . . . . Again, you cannot be destroying the third tier of government in Imo State and expect Imolites to hail you. Nigeria's Constitution recognizes local government areas as the third tier of government after the federal and state governments. Their functions are clearly defined. They are entitled to allocation of funds from the federation account for use in carrying out their functions. Governor Okorocha sacked 27 elected council chairmen without recourse to constitutional procedure and appointed sole administrators. It is abuse of power for him to appoint sole administrators for our LGA's . It is a breach of Imo State local government administration law and a breach of section 7and 8 of the country's constitution. It is an impeachable offence. Councils in Imo state today hardly pay workers' salaries due to meager money they receive from the state government.


Sole administrators are government stooges that will only accept whatever peanuts the government sends to the LGA's. They are not elected so they have no mouth to demand for what is due for the LGA's .Using sole administrators in our councils will make Imo State to have places that cannot be reached by any form of motorized vehicle; reaching those places will entail abandoning vehicles and trudging on foot. It will make some areas in Imo to have medical emergencies transported to clinics on motorcycles. It will make many places in Imo to have pupils studying under dilapidated classrooms. Where are the boreholes that are supposed to provide potable water in our LGA's ? Where are the L.G.A funds? Why won't we have elected council officers in Imo State? Why do so many people die from preventable diseases like malaria, typhoid, cholera, dysentery, and meningitis in our LGA's? Why do we have mountains of refuse and clogged drainages all over our LGA's?


Also, you don't sell Imo State properties to yourself and expect Imolites to hail you. Okorocha sold the only plantation Imo has in agriculture that has endured the years. We demand that Okorocha should stop selling Imo public corporations to himself. He sold Adapalm to himself ,he has also sold ITC and others. As a policy ,the Okorocha's government has repeatedly told whoever cares to listen that, “government has no business being in business” and it thus creates basis for Okorocha to sell off Imo state owned corporations to himself for peanuts. This is at the expense of the poor working masses, whose future and that of their teeming dependants are constantly jeopardized as a result of the harsh economic condition that will arise from these sales.We call for a public probe of the unwholesome sale of public properties in Imo state. Imo people did not fight for change so that Okorocha can sell Imo to Ireland. Imolites did not fight for change so that Okorocha can feed the dogs. Imo did not elect him so that he can sell Imo state. He should make Adapalm, Concord, Imo Transport, Imo Stadium and other Imo State companies to work and not sell them. Where did he deposit the money from the sales of these Imo state owned companies? Why is he converting Imo State and its funds into a family enterprise while governing the State with impunity and military fiat not minding or giving a hoot how the people feel? Save us o' God.

Okorocha has encouraged a grass root opposition to democracy in Nigeria. From the behavior of certain goons in Nigeria, I have concluded it is very unfortunate to adopt democracy as system of government in Africa. Africans must find a system of government that could accommodate their skewed stream of thoughts.

Okorocha is a man whose personal assistant, Barr. Okorocha, openly informed the people of Imo State there is urgent need to commercialize or privatize all the ministries in Imo State. When the governor was asked about the need to commercializing or privatizing office of the governor in Imo State, he looked idiotic as well as lost for words.

What in the world has democracy to do with any of the actions of the governor as put down by the writer of the piece?

The goofy governor shuns "due process" which is one of the cornerstones of democracy.
