Bros there's no comparison between imo and abia state.
I've to say the truth even though I'm not pro Rochas.

Aba is so dirty it's the only place in my life I've ever seen leeches live.
Swimming in huge monumental black puddles of both rain and sewage water that cover the entire road.somewhere around ehi road and that new market.

There's on area that I pray never to find myself ever again.I've forgotten the name.

Not to mention that the structures are still pre-1920s
Umahia is a bit ok but can't compare to owerri.

Abians are the worst hit in terms of bad governance.

Truth is all our leaders are sub par

chinolization: At least Abia state did not borrow a dime but yet you could still see some work done..but in the case of Okoro, he borrowed over 200billion with nothing anywhere on the ground to show for it..

Below is Imo state teaching hospital..now can you compare it to Abia teaching hospital? It is clear that Orji is above Okorosha. Okorosha is the least in the SE because Imo state has sunk and become the least developed state in the SE..

chinolization: It is a statement of fact that Imo state has the worst road network in entire SE..

You surely haven't been to Aba Abia state then.
The state is like one with nobody in the govt house.

Nigeria is cursed with bad leaders that's for sure.

Nne onwere ihe kpatara m ji achoghim ikwu ezi okwu ebe a.

berem: so is she really your aunty?

Laws of demand and supply

I'm just reading hearing this for the first time on this thread.

Hope you detected the sarcasm in my post when I said she's my aunty

berem: Seriously,did she really slap her husband?

Chris anyanwu if she wants can be the first female governor of imo state.

Thank God you say na 'touts' dey carry the rumor.
What won't they say about a successful woman?

Abagworo: Go to Owerri and say this nonsense inside a "Keke", then come back and report here. Chris Anyanwu's reputation has long been damaged in Owerri by her opponents (not Rochas). She is touted to have rented apartments for young boys who sleep with her for gifts. That alone is not recoverable in Igboland as it is considered abomination for a married woman. Nigeria is not America.

That's cool.

berem: the husband of Rochas's daughter,Uche Nwosu was a friend back then at IMSU. We all attended IMSU but he was a year ahead of me. I think he was the SUG director of transport back then. Sadly,I haven't seen him since 2005 I graduated only to see him on TV during his wedding.

Hehehehe
Chris anyanwu is my aunty.

So we are all relations of these politicians.
That means we are all somehow partly responsible for all these aren't we?

So when the bill on capital punishment for corruption is passed,we all stand to lose someone don't we?

Shows the problem isn't PDP/APC/APGA

It's more about the Nigerian selfish mindset which we should all try to work on.

It's one of the reasons why.


Maybe you could do some research on hope uzodinma. He's been on the politcal horizon for too long,he's supposed to have a long list of achievements.

I agree the bottom line is that imo must be better. I still think chris anyanwu can and should do better

berem: I still doubt if that's the reason Rochas and Anyanwu are having loggerheads. Rochas has done a lot for Owerri people more than Orlu so why would he claim the achievements of Chris Anywanwu? Anyways,whether Rochas claims or not, the bottom line is Imo State must be better for all of us.
If all I see in the link is what she has done so far,it is highly commendable.
I don't know what Hope Uzodimma has done for Orlu people.

I'm very familiar with the health care scenario in imo state and it's nothing to write home about.

Apart from the federal hospital(fmc) which is a federal affair and can be said to be not under his jurisdiction,all other hospitals in imo have no record of new employment under his govt.despite nurses being churned out every year from all the schools of nursing and universities in the state.
Instead he's busy closing down hospitals and retiring existing workers.

One nurse can man 4-5 wards at a time.sometimes only 3 nurses on duty in the whole hospital at a given time. Where in the civilized world does that happen?
Always over worked and irritable plus deplorable environment.

Visit Aboh mbaise general hospital for example.

No good toilets.
All the environment almost overtaken by weeds.
Casual workers(cleaners etc) are almost non existent.
Nurses have to double as ward maids sometimes because the older ones (nurse maids) have been retired and no new employments.


Maybe when people visit owerri they think that's where imo state ends.
Visit the rural areas and you know that the rot in the infrastructal sytem is DEEP.

I think these politicians should concentrate more on trying to solve these problems than gathering praise for themselves.
Let their achievements speak for them instead.

meforyou1: God bless you on this hospital issue. There is no single hospital in arondizuogu. In May when I went home, we had an emergency at home concerning my cousin. At about 11 pm. We took him a private hospital in Ndiawa arondizuogu, was told it's closed. I asked of Mbonu Ojike memorial hospital (the only general hospital we had), was told it had closed. And was then directed to akokwa. We had to traverse the bad roads of arondizuogu till we got to the hospital at akokwa at 1am. And there was no light. Left there at 5am and got back home at 7am.
That was the day that I swore that over my dead body will okorocha be re-elected.

Really? So the workers should be owed almost a year's salary and their families resort to begging?
Did they build the hospital and employ themselves?
A govt built and employed them then refuse to pay them.
In answer to your question,no it's not a waste of funds. A place that provides special health care to citizens and employment to specialist health workers can't be a waste of funds.
In an ideal society there should be a hospital withi accessible distance of all residents.
One specialist hospital in a state is not too much to ask.

mandax: Not a Rochas fan, but I ask this question: in the presence of FMC and IMSUTH in Imo state, what is the use of state Specialist Hospital Owerri? Is the specialist Hospital not a waste of fund?

berem: could you please list the achievements of Chris Anyanwu Rochas is taking glory for? You need to present facts and not hearsay.

http://afriqtalk./2013/07/01/senator-chris-n-d-anyanwu-a-woman-with-a-mission-2/

Nwannem nwanyi biko read this link properly.
You'll see some of the things rochas tries to claim responsiblity for are her projects.
With picture evidence of her commissioning some of them.

Don't get me wrong,I'm not saying he doesn't do anything. But he tries to include her projects and sweep them under the umbrella of his achievements.

I usually try not to get into all these political debates because believe me I don't understand our Nigerian politicians.
But I know Rochas to be a good showman.
He knows how to involve political paparazzi to make his achievements look magnified.


I'll give him credit though for refacing owerri.
He did a lot better than ikedi ohakim and achike udenwa in that aspect.
So I commend him for that.

Now that I think of it,it may be possible.

But then it would have attracted more attention than that. The attitude of the people around shows they are used to such fights.
So who knows,it might have been another usual fight.

beeevan: Who knows his crime? What if he molested some ones child?

The reason he's at loggerheads with chris is because he always tries to take the glory for her achievements.

berem: no one is challenging you about Chris Anyanwu's achievements as a senator. Infact,I will be happy if the achievements of the three senators representing Imo State: Chris Anyanwu,Sylvester Anyanwu and the Hope Uzodimma are listed on a seperated thread. Rochas shouldn't be the one doing everything for Imo State.

I won't say you're lying,but I hope you know that even though those points there aren't lies,many of them are exagerrated.
For example the CONHESS/CONMESS issue,

He didn't pay any 100percent.
Fine he approved after several months of strike but it didn't end up at 100percent and that was after he kept threatening to sell them to private hands.

Right now he's closing down hospitals and doing nothing to renovate the existing ones. Some local govts don't even have one general hospital. Ezininihitte mbaie has no general hospital as we speak. The ITU gen hospital has been closed since last2yrs.
He closed It down and transfered the workers to other LGs.
Meanwhile no funding for hospital activities in other LGs. No electricity and hospital management have to take from their own pockets to fuel generators for sugeries. Else they have to carry it out with rechargeables(if it's an emergency) that's why all sugeries only take place in the day because no light to do so at night.

Only in owerri(fmc),orlu(imsuth) and a few others do you see something that looks like modern hospitals.

The specialist hospital in owerri have staff owed salaries for 8months(as at when last I checked) if he's paid now I don't know)
Over their special salary issues.

He treats teachers very nice alright

But he leaves some areas unattended while using the other areas to try win points.
He mostly robs peter to pay paul

Politicians can exaggerate their feats.
Only when you're living the life will you know the truth.

I know he's better than some governors but he's hyped for sure.

Hian. I can't stand seeing someone getting beat up like that.
I'd fetch a bucketful of water,douse them and run inside before they catch me.
That way the man will have a chance to escape.

aisha2: Yes oh, so I heard but I was in shock at the level of violence, they stripped this man oh, tore his clothes, rolled him on the floor and their mother was cheering, no one even acted as if anything was going on. One woman was braiding hair outside and she just kept on braiding

Aww sweet hubby there. nice.

Let me follow suit.
what I like about my husband?


Dude is the best planner in the whole wide world. I don't worry my pretty ahead about anything.all he has to do is just run the plans by me and no matter how hard I pry,I can't fault any part of the plan. Even before a situation or problem presents itself,he's already planned and has a solid solution for it.
He has plans and arrangement reaching far into the future it's amazing.
I'm sure the apocalypse (if it happens next week) won't even take us unawares.
Lol.

hispinkolo: I'll set the ball rolling on ONE THING I LOVE ABOUT MY SPOUSE..



HUMILITY
Most of my problems stem from my difficulty to forgive?He taught me by his actions that there's nothing like pride in marriage because we are working towards the same goal..NOT I BUT US..US is the keyword.He doesn't feel too big to take the first steps in reconciliation,and I learnt from him to pursue peace.
In the 1st year,I was always waiting for him to say sorry and he used to do that but kinda grew tired of it.So one day,we quarrelled and as usual,I was waiting.Day 1,NOTHING. Day 2,NOTHING.. HEII..I started having high bp,but decided to wait on till he breaks..DAY 3,this man still ignored me.I was soo miserable that I packed to another room yet he didn't move a muscle.I started praying to God to do something and I'll not be stubborn again.

DAY 4, I don't know what entered me but I decided to do something drastic.I took my bag and my phones and ran away while he was asleep .I went to a park nearby my house and sat there.Unfortunately for me,it was cold and I didn't have a sweater with me.One hour my teeth started chattering..2 ,3 hours I was shaking but I said I'd rather die than go home.I was looking at my phone and calling on God to force hubby to worry and call my phone.I told God to do this for me and I won't bear grudges again.I knew the shame of going home after all my shakers would be too much and worse if hubby didn't give a hoot.I cried well well but after a while,my phone rang and it was him..I was happy but I didn't pick..I picked at the third call and he told me he loves me and I should come home cos he was very worried.
The way I ran home ehhhh..He was there to meet me and hugged me.I told him I didn't love him anymore and he laughed well.I apologised to him and he made me scrambled eggs..He said sorry too and explained I w as hurting our union by being stubborn.He told me he was hurting and couldn't concentrate but had to be hard cos it was necessary for me to have a taste of my own medicine..

When I look back,I laugh at what I did.What if he didn't care to call me nko? I'd have gone home with shame

I've learnt my lesson.Im not too big to beg when I'm wrong..For extra drama,I even throw myself on the floor,lol

Too bad what she was running away from happened to her.
Hope he rots in jail.

Thank God for your health.

I hope he has enough money saved for his kids.
This one he didn't have a few millions to get a kidney transplant I wonder if he has anything for his family to fall back on in case of his unprecedented demise.

Misplaced priorities.

What is wrong with you people?
