Can someone tell me why I should read pass the bolded? I told you am not into your "comparison" bullshiit, Didn't I? Heck!! Putting words into my mouth can never help your cause in that regards.

Go ahead and post the pictures of Fashola's achievement within his first seven months in office or is that very difficult for you to do?

May be you should look up to meaning of "LEAGUE" before making another mess. Am outta here!

Eko Ile:
1. You must have compared before arriving at the fact that they are in the same league, that's if you are not insane and in the habit of opining without basis and reasonable rational.

2. Taking a class from an experience administrator means he is sub, he is the student and the student can not be in the same league with the teacher especially a new student with zero accomplishment as a state governor.

3. Studying achievements doesn't put you in the same league with the teacher, it means you are a learning student who is still learning how the masters do things. Your understanding of master and teacher is dangerously flawed.

4. Fashola is the standard measurement of achievement in Nigeria according to other governors in Nigeria including Rochas himself and that's why his first official act as the governor of his state was to head to Lagos and consult with Fashola. Fashola is what other governors and many leaders in Nigeria want to be and emulate.

You brought up Fashola and compared Rochas with Fashola, you also put them in the same league so you picked Fashola as the measuring standard, I did not.

5. Seeking investment or whatever other metrics you have, he's still not even in Fashola's league in anyway shape or form,





Again


You judged the other governors based on their actions as governors and not as private citizens or philanthropists

If philanthropy is what's shacking you, then feel free to talk about philanthropy and compare him with other philanthropists, not with other governors. The people of Imo elected him to be their governor, not to be a philanthropist or other nonsense you are peddling.

I still need you to show us the phantom and hearsay projects. I'm waiting.

^
You indeed is a big fool to think we don't know your real Id and who you are representing on this forum.

All your diversionary tactics wont take away the fact that GEJ is directly involved with releasing Ibori. We all know when they cut the deal, thesame way he wanted to blackmail south Africa with MTN and their other assests, should they release Henry Okar. Keep fooling yourself.

. . .or you thought some of us bought into your Lekki toll gate brouhaha and other lies you are peddling, claiming to be from Lagos? Nonsense!

@Eko Ile

Show me where I "COMPARED" Fashola with Rochas in all my previous post. I await you! By the way, were you not the one posting pictures of Rochas Okorocha's visit to Lagos to study Fashola? Were you not among those "mocking" him when he(Rochas) appointed a special assistance on Lagos matters? If he (Rochas) could:

1. Take a summer class from Fashola according to you, on leadership and good governance.

2. Appoints a special assistance on Lagos matters(which we all ridiculed), to study the achievements in Lagos and make a proper recommendations.

That should equally tell you his quality and calibre in identifying those worthy of emulation.

I opine that Rochas should be on thesame "LEAGUE" with Fashola & co, going by his previous antecedents which am very much familiar with. So, where did you manufactured your "comparing Rochas with Fashola from"? . . .and if you are now insisting with your comaprison(between Fashola and Rochas, which I don't know you got it from), then why don't you post pictures of Fashola's achievemnts in his first 7 months in office for a proper examination. Show me what Fashola achieved in his first 7 months in office and the amount of money he recieved and expanded within said period of time, then put it side by side with Rochas's records.

When did Fashola became the standard of measuring achievements in Nigeria? while other can build things other too can seek for foriegn investment or is seeking for investing less achievement than building infrastructures?


Beside, I earlier pointed the difficulties in using what I termed as "sudden death" i.e head to head, when comparing political office holders. Thus, it would be safer to make a 'soft' generalized statement.

My points are up there for you to see, may be you posted in a haste hence, quoting the wrong post.

Eko Ile:
It's always the same meaningless platitudes. I still don't see any basis for your comparison and putting fashola, the other governors on the same scale. One is yet to do anything while fashola and others have done a lot.


If you can not show us one single thing he has done as a sitting governor, then please lay off the pointless comparison.

Please stop the insanity.

I can accept the fact that he is new in office, but to say a man that ou yourself can not attribute anything to is simply absurd and ignorant.

You are free to like any governor of your choice, but you dint have to make bogus and ignorant claims that you can not back up with anything.

^
You wouldn't want to start with the guy if truely he is Fstranger.

^
Fstranger is that you?

I met one the other in PH, he was just promising brime stone and fire. Gaddamit!.

Beaf:
As to what you have to do with unrepentant secessionists? You have quite a suspicious and unforgiving heart, sir.

Simply replace the bolded with DEDE1 . The red eyed-old fox is very bittered by how suddenly his fraudulent source of "jeun jeun" via Ohakim, was clipped out by Rochas.

Hence, you notice the ding bat flying from thread to thread looking for any place the name Rochas will be mention to attack. I pity political "Almajiris" like him who have chosen to be on the wrong side of history. More pathetic is how he is trying to compare Ohakim with Rochas? Sore loser!

aduboy:
I want to inform nairalanders to please disregard PDP bigots and sycophants on this forum. They are bent to give a dog a bad name in other to kill it. Rochas has done in eight months what Pdp government could not do in twelve years. He has changed the psychology of Imo people that's the most important thing. He has not started any new project but has revived most projects which was awarded by his predecessors some which they claim to have completed but never existed. Another set of people who criticise Rochas are set of who survive by embezzlement of state money either as politicians,government officials,house of assembly members, traditional rulers etc. Their no room for them to live on peoples money again in Rochas administration as those money goes to the people oriented programmes. Please anybody who doubts can visit imo to see for himself. For investments both foreign and local investment is on the rise in imo state because democracy exist there and almost all imolites are feeling the effect of governance.

The bolded is another valid point which should be consider even before anything else, thus the basis of which Eko Ile is trying to per Rochas with Fashola is very weak. Fashola is very good and Rochas is equally not doing bad cosidering the point I raised i.e time frame and access to huge state treasury and the one you just added or any other one that would/should/could be added. I was very careful with the choice of my words when I said "LEAGUE", which sholud never be mistook as EQUAL. Micheal Essien, Drogba, Mikel Obi, Frank Lampard and John Terry are in thesame team does not imply them being equal in capability, but the fact is that you can't make it to Chelsea without showing some minimum required skills. Which in my opinion, Rochas is very qualified to be in that team with the likes of Fashola & co or better still on the reserve bench, politically

For a starter, do you know how many schools and less privellege houses Rochas was funding before he became a governor? They are scarttared across the country and he(Rochas) has succeeded is giving voice to voiceless more than any other politician with his personal money. So if he can do that even without authority and access to state treasury, what makes you think he is going to fail this time around? ONLY TIME will tell. Capito?

dayokanu:
Ji sun Pack,

How many citizens does Rochas have to cater for vs Fashola

Nah! You are certainly missing the points here. May be you should re-read what I earlier wrote.
In Nigeiran politics, there are basically 2 two methods normally used in accessing politicians.

1. Capital development: which sometimes I carelessly remaned as "Eye service" . This is what "ordinary" students of politics focused on as ONLY criteria of grading a politician.

2. Human development: This is a very positive way of taking a whole generation out of poverty, which may seems less important to few, but in a long run tvery effective in changing the face of a state.

Take Bauchi for Instance:
Governor Mua'zu built everything in the state, but Governor Isa Yuguda sent vritually the whole state oversea to study in various field some are even member of NASA, presently and empowered women with cash to start business. So who is greater? . . . .and thats not the point!

So building things is NOT the only method in determining the success of a political office holder and Fashola shouldn't be compared head to head with Rochas without considering some few important points likes

1. Financial strength: How much is Fashola recieving in a month? And how much is Rochas recieving in a month? Do you know that Lagos revenue alone nearly equals that of the whole south east zone?. So putting Rochas on a "sudden death" camparision with Fashola is highly flawed IMO.

2. Time Frame: Fashola is in his second tenure which is enough time for him to start commissioning projects, which mostly were awarded in his last dispensation. Here is man that haven't even spent a year in the office and holding that office for the time in his life. Most politicians requires atleast 2 YEARS to settle down before hitting the ground running. Our fingers are itching, but let us not be unrealistic with our expectation

Now you would want to know which criteria I used in accessing Rochas , abi? Check his pre-election achievements and tell me if there is ANY governor that can stand his credentials without having access to state treasury. Beside he is not even doing bad presently, take a trip to Imo state you would notice various projects in the pipe line.
Nuff siad.

Eko Ile:
Why is rochas in Fasholas league? Fashola build roads, hospitals, bridges, clinics, schools, power plants and so many things, but can you show us one classroom or one inch of road rochas has built? In fact, show us anything he has done.

Stop insulting all the folks you named, rochas is yet to rise above meaningless utterances and platitudes.

Whats the meaning of your post then? The truth of the matter is, Rochas is in league of leaders like Fashola,Ameachi,Apkabio and Adams(Though they are not excellent, but could be rated as very good based on Nigerian standard of politics). The problem is you tends to lend credence to what blind critics spew over the internet without doing your own independent investigation. That said.

Beside the online propadanda and lot of fun I decided to be indulging in, my left foot should be able challange majority of posters in this section in aspect of deep rooted practical political arithematics.

How could you start judging a man that is HOLDING political office for the first in his entire life within his first one year in office? Which by all standard he is not even doing bad? Don't you think your expectations are unrealistic or your sincerity should be question? Beyond what paid bloggers and hatchet job men would want you to believe, Rochas is a presidential material and my support for his likes have been known to be unshakable right from the word go. Check my previous handle for proof.

*Rochas is one of the best the south east can boast of politically, and his supports cut across the whole federation. Thus, if you start destroying one of your own, what do you expect outsiders to do? Think about it and stop doing follow-follow.

THE LIES AND DECEITS OF GOVERNOR OKOROCHA
by Anayo Herbert Kelechi

The executive governor of Imo State, His Excellency, Chief Rochas Okorocha while narrating the full import of his government’s rescue mission likened it to the Israel’s rescue operation in Uganda tagged “90 minutes at Entebbe”. Although, the Entebbe raid was acted with exquisite sense of timing, its target of rescuing Israeli hostages from Field Marshall Idi Amin Dada was of vital strategic importance to Israel’s prestige as a nation. Nevertheless, the rescue operation as mission accomplished had all the hostages rescued and airlifted to Israel.

In view of the foregoing, governor Okorocha’s rescue agenda in Imo State lacks vision, since it was likened to the Israel’s operation in Uganda, which has its distinctive circumstance. In fact, such an imitation cannot pass for a vision. It can be a mere daydream, which most times, cannot be turned into reality due to lack of originality and reasonable concordance.

Apparently, within 10months in office, a state government that purports to be on rescue mission could not pass simple litmus test as it still appears insensitive to the two factors, namely to rescue people in supposed desperate plight, and to achieve it within a time frame. Thus, the only question on the lips of Imo people is “who is the rescue government actually rescuing or for whom is effort made in that direction?”

Is it the Transition Committee (TC) Chairmen at the Local Government Councils (LGCs) that have neither members nor appointment letters and all the paraphernalia of office? Or, is it the stooge members of the Imo State House of Assembly (IMHA) and the rescue government appointees who act as guinea pigs in the midst of being denied the pleasure of using brand new official vehicles and the benefit of all the entitlements attached to their offices? Or, is it the state civil servants who are at a crossroads between asking for a stop to an endless screening of certificates and craving for the actual computation of the hyped N20,000 new minimum wage, which should have placed them above the federal civil servants?

Let’s tell ourselves the bitter truth! Is governor Okorocha in all sincerity paying the state civil servants far and above their counterparts in the federal civil service who are earning N18,000 minimum wage? What is this lackadaisical mentality beclouding Imo people that a spade can no longer be addressed as such? Nevertheless, the civil servants know too well that the table used by governor Okorocha in calculating the so-called N20,000 minimum wage does not give a value worth up to N11,000 minimum wage, and they are afraid to voice out this truth for fear of victimization.

BUILDING TRUST AND ENGAGING THE PEOPLE
One is worried at the level of lies, falsehood, deceit, and abracadabra, which the Imo people have brazenly admitted to contend with.

* It is beyond every reasonable doubt that governor Okorocha did not cut down any state security vote as claimed. Reference to the 2011 budget reveals that the said state security vote was N2billion and not N6billion. Therefore, for governor Okorocha to claim that he cut down the said state security vote to N2.5billion is a criminal projection aimed at hoodwinking the Imo people for self aggrandizement to the tune of N500million. This is fraud.
* Imolites are no daft to be deceived that governor Okorocha paid 2-12years pensions to retirees whereas he merely paid 3months arrears in a dramatized interactive session. This window dressing to attract undeserved applause was stage –managed to portray the past governors of Imo State as insensitive to the plight of the retirees while masquerading as “a self acclaimed messiah”.

SECTORAL REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE
(a) PUBLIC WORKS/INFRASTRUCTURE

* The totality of the public works and infrastructural projects embarked upon by governor Okorocha are all at their teething stages that should not warrant any self glory or applause. It is sad to note that the award of these contracts did not follow due process because according to governor Okorocha, “in rescue mission, there is no protocol”.
* The verbosity in respect of breaking the age-long jinx about Okigwe and Orlu regarding the location of such white elephant projects as a five star hotel, a civic centre, a modern stadium, etc are the usual fallacious promises of governor Okorocha. It can be likened to the N100million development fund promised to each of the LGAs in the State, which till date is yet to be realized. To add salt to injury, governor Okorocha promised another N1billion to each of the LGAs in a manner that presents him as one in need of psychiatric diagnosis and spiritual deliverance so as to bring his flippancy to a bearable level.

(b) EDUCATION

* Governor Okorocha has made a ruse of education in the Imo State public school system with his ill conceived free education programme. Disappointedly the governor is busy politicizing the N100 stipend to school children, while the imprest to run the schools have not been made available, which invariably affects the quality of the so-called free education. Recently, the school children were restive on why the state government could not live up to its words of N100 daily stipend, which was paid for the first (and last) time in October 2011.

* In the face of the above, governor Okorocha perfected another lies and deceit phenomenon where he promised free education scheme and mouthwatering bursary for all Imo State undergraduates in the Imo State University (IMSU), Owerri and the Imo State Polytechnic (ImoPoly), Umuagwo. If Lagos, Rivers, and Bayelsa States whose Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) surpasses the federal allocation to Imo State cannot offer free tertiary education programme, and are finding it difficult to grapple with that of the secondary and primary schools, one marvels at why governor Okorocha thinks he can always play on the intelligence of the enlightened Imo citizens.

(c) SECURITY

* Imo people witnessed how governor Okorocha rebranded all the Hilux vans and Healthcare delivery hummer buses in the State to credit his so-called rescue government. Even, the additional 100 Ford Ranger Trucks, which he claimed to have purchased were actually donated by banks to the State government. The said governor was not ashamed to present these trucks to Imo people as his achievement in his first 100days in office, which he earlier planned not to celebrate.

* In the same manner, the said governor re-allocated all the official vehicles (acquired by the past administration) to his political appointees who invariably were denied the comfort of brand new official vehicles. Thus, the money so conserved from not purchasing any new vehicle is not seen to have been meaningfully utilized by the Okorocha’s government.

* In late January 2012, governor Okorocha visited Gombe, Bauchi and Kano States for his 2015 presidential ambition. However, he claimed to have visited and held meetings with the Igbos, and found out that no Igbo was killed in any of the Boko Haram attacks. Thanks to God that Rochas abracadabra did not charm the visibly annoyed Chairman of Ohaneze ndi Igbo of Kano State who was quick to respond that, “Okorocha did not enter Sabon Gari to see anybody. He came for his own political business. He did not come to see Ndigbo. He did not set foot in the community”. This is how governance has been reduced to a child’s play where time, effort and money are wasted on frivolities.


(d) IMO STATE CIVIL SERVICE REFORM AND COMMERCIALIZATION PROGRAMME

It is on record that governor Okorocha has addressed Imolites on several occasions on the issue of the State being very rich. However, one is amazed on why, in the midst of this professed plenty, the Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) were directed by the governor to engage in commercial activities in order to generate their salaries and allowances, while subventions to these MDAs have since been completely withdrawn. What a contradiction and double speak by governor Okorocha!

(e) REDUCING THE COST OF GOVERNANCE

* Governor Okorocha, in his address on the STATE OF IMO told Imolites that, “one of the biggest setbacks to the development of our nation has been the unusually high and largely unjustified cost of governance. Unfortunately, our State was a classic example of how resources could be frittered away by the excessive overheads and a plethora of unwholesome practices fueled, to a large extent, by greed and avarice”.
The same governor Okorocha who claims to be patriotic and prudent by his so-called rescue agenda deceived Imo people by wasting a whopping sum of N2billion on a trip to woo investors from purported seven countries. Imolites are still waiting for the investors to arrive.

* During the same address on the STATE OF IMO, governor Okorocha disclosed that “my government since inception has not borrowed a kobo”. Thus, the governor should in the spirit of his acclaimed prudent management of the State resources explain the following:
- Who borrowed the N10billion and N50billion respectively in 2011, and which were approved as supplementary budgets by the stooge IMHA?
- Who borrowed N6billion for repayment of purported loan owed to UBA PLC by the past administration?
- Who borrowed another N6billion for supposedly counterpart fund for UBE, ETF, MDG, etc?
- Who, also, borrowed N5billion for fruitless adventure of re-surfacing good and motorable roads in Owerri municipality?
- Who, too, borrowed a whopping sum of N10billion for phantom infrastructural development?

The loans are endless. Who is governor Okorocha fooling? Perhaps, governor Okorocha is right, because he is yet to start the actual borrowing spree.

* Whereas governor Okorocha is busy siphoning the State funds, he turns round with a Catholic look to tell easy-going Imolites what they like to hear about manna falling from heaven. Without fear of contradictions, Concorde hotel has been suffocated in the guise of renovation to pave way for LA MONDE hotel (owned by governor Okorocha) to reap all government sponsored socio-political activities. Roche group International (owned by governor Okorocha) controls all the ETF and UBE contracts at IMSUBEB as well as manages ADAPALM, Concorde hotel, and ITC. LA MONDE Press, LA MONDE Guest House, Concorde newspapers, and Rochas Convention Center Fast Food are other conduit pipes of governor Okorocha for siphoning state fund. No wonder, governor Okorocha once said, “I am here for a mission, and the mission shall come to pass. Don’t see me as a conventional governor, but a radical governor, that is why I don’t observe protocol”.

* As a friend, Kenneth Uwadi once wrote, “Okorocha has been proclaiming heaven that will become of Imo State. Every month, he will make press release, promising Imolites heaven on earth. To get cheap popularity, he rents praise singers who lie to the world that all is honky dory with Imo State. Our ears are sore with ‘we will build this and that’ in place of ‘we have done this and that’.” Indeed, Imo people are yearning for result. Do governor Okorocha realize that he sacked the following groups of Imo people from the government pay roll?
(a) The beneficiaries of the 10,000 jobs

(b) The elected LGC chairmen, the deputy chairmen, the councilors, the supervisory councilors in the 27 LGAs (their personal assistants and drivers).

(c) The Co-ordinators and members of the Local Government Development Centers in the 27 LGAs (including their personal assistants and drivers).

(d) The chairmen and members of the various boards of government departments and agencies (including their personal assistants and drivers).

In fact, these groups result in a combined total of about 16,000 Imo people displaced. Till date, there is no replacement with other Imo people begging for rescue. Then, where do we place governor Okorocha and his rescue mission in the annals of Imo history?

CONCLUSION
It poses a great difficulty to reconcile the random and reckless utterances of governor Okorocha with the realities on ground in Imo State. A situation where MDAs are subjected to generate their salaries and allowances; where contractors are subjected to fund government projects to completion without payment; where in ten months in office, a government borrowed a sum of money more than the sum total of the borrowings of three previous administrations in Imo State; where governor Okorocha sets up numerous private outfits which took over the management and control of government contracts, departments and agencies for his self aggrandizement; where about 16,000 Imolites were deprived of their legitimate jobs without payment of their entitlements or their replacement thereof smacks of a government cover-up and hypocrisy. It’s time to stop the lies and deceit. EFCC will, indeed be needed to help Imolites unravel the true accountability of the reckless and mischievous financial transactions of governor Okorocha’s rescue government in Imo State.

What is it that bothers shallow minded goons with fake goods? I really want see some of these posters in real life.

@ OP
So many posters here will not even mind being in half of your position. Heck! This is internet! A place where every squirrel can claim to be anything. The decision is yours alone to make.

Brentwood:
I'm a Stay At Home Mom of a 2 1/2yr old daughter and i'd say its the most rewarding thing i've done in my life. I cant imagine anyone else raising my child, not with all the craddle-robbers running loose. I have a 1st degree and i'm currently taking online courses to further my education. There are also online conferences for moms to keep abreast in their chosen careers or for transitioning back into the work force. I intend to go back to work when she is 3yrs and starts preschool. By then she'd be very verbal and can express her needs, hurts and abuse etc (God forbids any). And if we think she isnt ready then, i'm ready to wait.
I know you said your hubby wants you to 'retire', cry out to God telling him your heart's desires then talk to your hubby. You should be ready to reach a compromise. As others have suggested, maybe open a store or something else you'd like to do other than a 9 to 5 job.

It wasnt something i thought i'd do before marriage or having kids but when i had my daughter, my hubby and i both agreed it was for the best. My extended family still gets on my case cos they cant imagine me being a 'housewife', maybe they're even ashamed based on naija mentality. I cant bear leaving her in anyone's care even though she's no longer an infant but when i can do it myself what stops me. My husband has a very good job and he's a very good provider so i cant complain. Once he lost his job for a yr and we lived on our savings but God was faithful. We never lacked. No one ever knew and God gave him a better job. That's what motivated me to do something.

Kids grow up so quickly that you'll soon wonder where your 'baby' went and you'll be left with just memories. Plus these are their formative years that any wrong step cant be taken back.
Meanwhile i keep busy with my courses and work-from-home opportunities so that i make some money and i'm not at someone's mercy. I also take my daughter for lots of 'mommy and me' classes and activities that its rewarding to see her blossom and grow into the person God intends her and i wont trade the bond we share for the world.
Dont make a hasty decision because it may seem like the perfect solution or you may live to regret it. And remenber whatever you decide, what works for one household may not apply for another. Goodluck.

So Ojukwu that ran dressed in a native women attire to Abidjan after the heat was so much on him, is what? Ojukwu =  COWARD per excellence!

He can only be a "Hero" by Biafran standard!. I dont know when heros started bolting out and abandoning the battale fields in the middle of the night, disguised like little bitcyin pusss-ies. Dunce!

Here we go again! how many  times will i say this? Dont ever compare Tinubu to Ojukwu, they are leagues apart. Tinubu can only be compared to IBB, OBJ, Atiku and other criminals.
Ojukwu (a natural born leader) dared to fight for the liberation of his people while ur so-called leaders were busy playing boy-boy to ur Hausa pay-masters. Oh, lest i forget, COWARDS only run their mouth.
Lastly, please try to be urself, U AINT JI-SUN-PACK. Always trying to copy/ steal someone elses' identity. [/color]
