GOV. ROCHAS OKOROCHA OPENS IMO STATE MICRO
FINANCE BANK
His Excellency, Owelle Rochas Okorocha has opened
the Imo State Micro Finance Bank for operations with
the governor having already successfully secured a
disbursable two billion naira (N2billion) Central Bank of
Nigeria, (CBN) Micro Small and medium enterprises
fund.
Opening the Imo State Micro Finance Bank weekend
the Governor said his government had taken the
initiative because of its believe that “power is
incomplete until the ordinary man is made a
participant in the economy of that state. That is the
reason behind the establishment of this bank”.
The Governor continued “today, the people of Imo
State now own a bank. The bank is here with us. The
Imo State Micro Finance bank is today a reality. With
this, the Government House is finally brought closer to
all the nook and cranny of the State. Today, with this
bank, the crucibles of the Rescue Mission government
have fallen on the ground for the ordinary people”.
“In Nigeria today, kobo is no longer considered as a
medium of exchange not because kobo has lost its
value, and not because the CBN can no longer produce
kobo through the mint, but because the common man
is not made an active participant in the economic
affairs of our nation. This is why in the Rescue Mission
government we believe in the principle of “Kobo Must
Return (KMR)” he added.
The governor further stated, “with this micro finance
bank kobo again will be in circulation in every nook and
cranny of the state. Today, it is no longer the old
stories of kidnapping, armed robbery, car snatching,
and all kinds of evil because the economic activities in
Imo State have picked up and people are economically
engaged”.
“The Imo micro finance bank is the People’s bank. The
essence of all these is to save the lives of numerous
poor Imolites while protecting the interest of the few
rich. The bank will give loans to the poor widows,
artisans, poor traders and so on so that they can grow
up to become active participants in the economy.
Pension funds will be opened in the bank to ensure
that our pensioners get their pensions as at when due”,
he stated.
“We will open branches in all the 637 autonomous
communities in the state. I am particularly happy that
this bank has come in the life of this administration. I
want to call on well-meaning Imolites, those who have
the resources to put some of their money in this bank
for the benefit of our people. I am the first customer of
the bank. I have opened an account in it and I expect all
government functionaries to do the same” he added.
“This is a very serious bank. This is not politically
oriented bank where you give loans to your brothers
and sisters without the political will to recover the
money. When you are given money in this bank, we
shall make sure you pay back. The bank will service the
people of Imo State”, the Governor remarked.
Present at the function were the governor’s wife
Nneoma Nkechi Okorocha, the representative of the
Central Bank Governor Mr. Rom K. Aligwe, Chief of
Staff Government House, Sir Jude Ejiogu and the
Commissioner of Finance Imo State, Chief Ike Njoku
who is the Chairman, Board of Directors of the bank.

The micro finance bank will have abt 65 branches around imo state

Lagos Pastor reveals Rochas would be Nigeria
president come 2015
The General Overseer of Galilee Christian Center in
Lagos, Prophet Williams Onuoha, has predicted that
the current governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas
Okorocha, would become Nigeria’s president in
2015.According to him, for this to happen, Okorocha
would have to adhere to God’s direction, adding that
only a running mate from the South West region can
give him the presidency.In a recent interview with Daily
Sun, Onuoha, who is seen and referred to by many
who attend his church as a highly gifted prophet of
God, said he saw the vision in 2011 and now it’s coming
to pass.
“In 2011, I saw in a vision that the present governor of
Imo State Owelle Rochas Okorocha will be president in
2015. And in one of the national dailies recently, the
governor said he would be president in 2015 and that it
had been prophesied. True. I had seen this vision, but
there are things that needs to be done before this
prophesy can come to pass and one of them is that
only a running mate from the South West region can
give him the presidency.“I have never met the governor
before. When he said last week in the papers that he
would become president in 2015 and that it had been
prophesied, I was not surprised. What I saw in 2011,
the governor said in 2014. God is truly wonderful,” the
prophet said.
Onuoha said he had predicted the global economic
meltdown and that a black man will become president
of the United States.He explained that he has made so
many revelations and all have come to pass.The man of
God said: “Three weeks to when the Ebola virus came
into Nigeria I had told my members to pray seriously
so that the country can escape the calamity that was to
befall her. We did pray and by His grace we escaped.“I
feel it is time to free this country from the grip of the
devil and his agents. Look at our youths; they lack
direction. This is because the head is corrupt. When
the head is corrupt the body will definitely be
corrupt.“Many of our industries today are controlled by
the devil. Look at music, for instance. Even some
gospel artistes have now fallen by the wayside. This
country needs God’s intervention, and she needs it very
fast. That is why true men of God should not relent in
praying for this nation. Many are no longer with God.
Even in the house of God is corruption. Pastors,
bishops now preach money. They no longer preach
God’s word to the people. When the wicked are in
power the people suffer.”Asked how he came about the
name of his church, he said an Angel revealed it to him
in trance.Recall recently, Governor Okorocha had
boasted that he would defeat President Goodluck
Jonathan in the forthcoming 2015 elections saying:“I
have the capacity to govern the Federal Republic of
Nigeria. I must also make it abundantly clear that the
PDP and indeed, President Goodluck Jonathan, cannot
defeat me in the forthcoming general election.”Speak
ing last week Monday at the All Progressives Congress
(APC) rally, Okorocha proudly declared that he would
be the president in 2015.

Nigerians have started quarreling over yeye again. The
release of the centenary N100 note is causing trouble
with the removal of the Hausa/Ajami script and Arabic
inscription. Well, I think no Arabic should be written on
any Nigerian note. Nigeria is secular, government
should stop the nonsense mixing of religion with state
matters, stop funding pilgrimages and stop all those
things that cause unnecessary religious tension. That is
one. Two, all the inscriptions written on Nigerian
money in Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba must be removed
because it is nonsense. It is nonsense because Nigeria
has 400+ languages and it makes no sense to write the
languages of just three groups as if the nation belongs
to them alone. What of the Maghavaul, the Idoma, the
Itsekiri, the Chambas, the Jukuns, the Safawas, the
Kutebs, the Bwazza, the Chukkol, the Chokobo, the
Chiboks, the Manchoks, the Miangos, the Ibibios, are
those ones not Nigerians too? So the idea of having
Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa on the naira notes is not
MOPOLODANI. They must be removed and only
English which is the official language and numbers, the
language of mathematics be put on the notes, until we
adopt pidgin as our official language. As for Oga Ade,
he should keep doing what he is best at: causing
trouble and dividing the nation. And as for Nigerians,
stop fighting over useless matters, over 50,000 of your
women die every year during childbirth and almost 11
million of your primary school kids are on the streets.

Ohakim is a wicked man o! I just saw the amount used in constructing this unfinished job and almost wept. God please save Nigeria. Almost 25 Billion Naira.

naturally ohakim is a thief

Abagworo:
Like Charlesdonald rightly wrote there has been noticeable change in the Ahiajoku convention centre. Okorocha is actually completing some of Ohakim's works.

I love dat glass install in d front ...just praying dat it will be thoroughly furnished like the international conference centre

[quote author=Abagworo post=28064427]I acknowledge the ongoing work just that its quite slow.[/quoteb4 dis year runs out it will be completed ]

Abagworo:
Ohakim planned a ring road around Owerri that includes those 2 bridges which Okorocha neglected. This ring road would have made movement around Owerri much easier. Ohakim also started an international conference centre inside a quiet area of New Owerri which attained up to 60% completion but Okorocha neglected it and hurriedly replicated same project at Warehouse junction. After much critivism he has started a snail pace work on the centre. Though the roads in that area have now almost been completely tarred by Okorocha, the centre looks abandoned.

work is really going on there dose front glasses wasn't dere b4

centje:
I pray so. Poor continuity is a serious disease in nigeria.

yes my brother

centje:
it's very annoying...if this flyover can be completed, the heavy traffic near Assumpta cathedral will reduce.

millionaireman:
Mr/Mrs, Do study welll the History of arrogation of devlopment infrastructures in Imo state. You mean after May 2015, Gov. Okorocha's successor shall finish the projects he started? Lol! You mean his successor shall channel the Orlu floods to the appropriate place? You mean Okorocha's successor shall either repair the old Orlu stadium or complete the new one? I hear you, you de talk to Beatrice - little by little. Note: if things work out for the group that says it is its zone's turn to govern Imo state, (chatter of equity), in the next eight years from May 2015, you shall rather see many many flyovers, more govt tertiary institutions,, and perhaps, underground Metro Transport System in Owerri built by IMSG, instead of that Orlu drainage system completed. In those eight years, there may be no sports stadium in Orlu. A bit of History : during the 1980s, there used to be a big campus of AICE in Orlu, big State Library in Orlu, but they were all closed down by Owerri immediately the governors that opened them left office.

guy me no understand wetin u write here also rochas all d way 2015

Obiano repositions Anambra as investment hub, attracts $520m in one week
1
By Our Reporter on November 10, 2014 COVER

By JAMES EZE

The efforts of Gover­nor Willie Obiano to reposition Anambra State as the new in­vestment hub in West Africa are beginning to yield amaz­ing results as the state at­tracted $520 million invest­ment last week.

The investments came largely into the two key areas that make up the governor’s Four Pillars of Development, namely Agricul­ture, Trade and Commerce. The other two Pillars are Industrial­ization and Oil and Gas.

What is currently looking like Anambra’s day in the invest­ment began at midweek with a tripartite agreement which the state government signed with the management of Delfarm Limited and Songhai Regional Centre from Benin Republic for specific agricultural projects val­ued at $200 million (about N32 billion). This was followed up at the weekend with another agree­ment with a consortium known as the West Africa Interconti­nental Trade Centre Ltd., which signed for the construction of an International Modern Market to be located in Ogbunike, Oyi Local Government Area at an estimated value of $320 million for the first phase of the project.

These two agreements have moved the government very close to its projected investment inflow of $1.9 billion before the end of this year. So far, Anam­bra has attracted almost $1 bil­lion in investments in the last six months averaging $167 million investment per month. These investments justify, in concrete terms, Governor Willie Obia­no’s reputation as an entrepre­neurial banker and a technocrat of note who understands the ter­rain of high-wired business and the best steps to bring the invest­ment world to his doorsteps.

In real terms, the Delfarm Limited/Songhai Farms project is expected to generate 150,000 jobs and cut down the rate of unemployment in Anambra and the neighbouring states. The agricultural project is a fully integrated framework that combines agriculture, technol­ogy, industry and services with a sustainable working system and seeks to create training and empowerment centres for the youths. On the other hand, the proposed International Market in Ogbunike is designed to ac­commodate an ultra-modern shopping mall, an industrial park, education and medical fa­cilities as well as a modern en­tertainment centre. The project will be executed in phases with the first phase creating about 6,000 jobs and 12,000 indirect jobs.

Anambra’s rising profile as the haven for investments in sub-Saharan Africa actually began in May this year when the Coscharis Group made a massive entry into the state’s agricultural sector with $200 million investment in a farm settlement, (the Coched Farms Project) in Anakau, Ayamelum Local Government Area. Since then, Anambra has continued to attract investors as the Obiano administration digs in to force through its reform programmes that are intended to lift the state up to its rightful position as the home of entrepreneurship in sub-Saharan Africa.

Since the arrival of Coched Farms, other agro-investors have followed suit. Joseph Agro Limited, Ekcel Farms Limited had penned down a $150 million agreement to take over the lucrative Omor Rice Mill and farm settlement, while Ekcel Farms had signed $100 million for the produc­tion of cassava and tomato in the state. Grains and Silos Limited has also signed another MoU valued at $11 million for a Silos project and finally, Del­farm/Songhai Farms have also moved in. Other investors like Royal Farms and a host of oth­ers are all in line to move into Anambra. There are also talks about a high-level collabora­tion between the Anambra State Government and some agricul­tural authorities in Bangkok, Thailand, that will finally divvy up Governor Obiano’s prom­ised agricultural revolution in Anambra State. The state has also attracted investments in the area of tourism with Cardinal Developers and Trust Limited leading the charge in that sec­tor with a considerable financial outlay.

Right at the heart of the in­vestment revolution in Anam­bra State is the pivotal role of the Anambra State Investment Promotion and Protection Agency (ANSIPPA), which is staffed with seasoned invest­ment bankers and financial experts. This agency has made the process of documentation and other otherwise tedious processes of doing business in Anambra State look like a walk in the park. This has encouraged prospective investors who are familiar with the huge markets and great human capital that Anambra has in abundance.

It would be recalled that flagging off this year’s farming season in a ceremony at Nteje, Oyi Local Government Area in May this year, Governor Obi­ano had firmly set the agenda for his agricultural revolution. Underscoring the importance of agriculture to Ndigbo in his speech at the event, Obiano had recalled: “From time imme­morial, our ancestors judged a man by the strength of his arm. A man who could not feed his family was regarded as an eful­efu! A failure! That tells us how important farming and agricul­ture in general was and will al­ways be to our people.”

1025:
did u saay as proposed by the former gov? are u ok bro? was ur former gov proposing to the next gov or to his gal friend? what is a serving gov proposing for when it comes to channeling of erosion? why didn't he do the drainage instead of proposing?

To me, i just came back from Imo state and i can say it here that i am really really impressed with what Rochas has achieved in the state in his first tenure compared to what two pdp govs achieved in their 12 years in the state.

all i can say here is, any man or woman condemning Rochas is Imo state is either a witch or a wizard.

I support u my man
