Melaye is a great guy and the best senator so far.

Okorocha should point out one market he built in Imo state rather he is busy taking other people's land for his personal interest. i wish Okorocha can be sincere about his fake urban renewal.

He should point one project he had completed. All over Imo state, what you can see is uncompleted project while he is business expanding his and his family foundations.
Where is the alternative he provided for the people he is busy dislodging here and there in Owerri?

He is just very wicked and unfair to the people of Imo state.

This APC govt is evil. Can you imagine.

The only way the FG can stop agitation is to perform and be fair to sections of the Country. Arrest and no arrest can't solve any problem. If the Government call provide needed infrastructure in the East , i dont think any body can talk about IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu. it will die a natural death.

Let the Govt do the needful.

THE CATASTROPHIC ROCHAS



“There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to accept what is true”- Soren Kierkegaard.



“It is not a shame to be deceived; but it is to stay in the deception” -anonymous.



Rochas, like his Abuja ‘god’, came into power when the masses were unfortunately deceived into believing in a phantom change.



In Imo State, the then governor, Ikedi Ohakim, did not do so badly, he was a more calculative, reasonable, organized, proactive and focused governor. However, his greatest undoing was pride and arrogance. And he paid dearly for that. The rest is now history.



By then, Rochas was known by the masses as a philanthropist who loved and cared for the poor masses. The Rochas foundation and his leadership of the Nigerian Red Cross Association supported this claim. However, the few who knew him better warned us about his devilishness, wickedness, criminality(419ner) and even membership of a secret cult that feeds on human blood.



Nevertheless, because the Imo people were fed up with the arrogance of Ikedi Ohakim and his purported flogging of a Rev.Fr.(actually there was an incident, but not flogging of a Rev. Fr., which the opposition used as a strong propaganda to score political point), Ikedi was dethroned. And the only strong alternative was the ‘philanthropic Rochas'. Riding on the back of the then popular Igbo party(APGA), which was sold to him by our own Martin Agbaso, snatching victory from the incumbent was easier.(First deception).



During his first term in office, people decoded Rochas’ deception, greed and wickedness, and badly wanted a change. However, his kinsman from Orlu Zone(Orlu zone has the highest number of LGAs in Imo State) and few greedy Owerri and Okigwe elders(likes of Chief Bob Njemanze and Ararume), coupled with disorganized & dismembered opposition and the tsunami at the already concluded presidential election, Rochas found his way back to Douglas house. “My people, my people”, “Job, job, job”, “Industry, industry, industry”. ( Second deception).



Today, Imo State is in a very sorry state.

-highest number of uncompleted projects

- one of the most heavily indebted states in the country(future of our children has been mortgaged)

-many months of unpaid salaries

-pensioners not paid and intimidated to sign off 60% of their earned pension(what callousness!)

-immotorable roads

-high rate of unemployment

-high rate of crime, kidnapping and armed robbery

-no good healthcare system (his 27 uncompleted hospitals which he used to siphon LG funds in the 27 LGAs are now welcome habitat for Aso rock rats), -etc, etc ....



Rather, the only thing that is thriving in Imo State today is Rochas, his family, in-laws, relatives and cronies. Imo State has been turned into his personal fiefdom.

-all political appointments both at federal and state levels are for himself, family members and few outsiders that are used as mere fronts.

- his family estate at Spibat will even scandalize a Saudi Arabian prince

- his private university at his home town

-all lands in Owerri town and environ have been cornered by his family and cronies

-on top of his Rochas foundation, we now have Elfreeda foundation by his daughter, Elfreeda shop and Elfreeda everything

-a state owned diagnostic centre named after his unknown father ‘ochiedike' and many other state projects named after his wife and children

-and strong rumours have it that he is positioning his son in-law to succeed him as the governor.

Haha! Rochas, nah only you and family waka come?



Since last night, the social media have been awash with his demolition of Eke Ukwu main market Douglas rd, Owerri. It could be a laudable project if properly done with human face and in consideration of the people’s plight.

But the nagging questions are: what ready alternative arrangements have been made to accommodate the dislodged traders? At the rate of uncompleted projects in the state, why has this become a priority at this most difficult times? How will the thousands of families that depend for their livelihood on this market survive after this demolition? And how soon will they be resettled and what compensation to cushion the effect of the resettlement?



Rochas surely enjoys seeing the tears of Imo people. By this demolition he is directly unleashing more hunger and anger in the state and an attendant increase in crime rate.



Yet our people are complacent as if he has caste a spell on us all. Our leaders in Nigeria take us for granted because they are too sure that we make just noise and after that everyone goes back home sulking and minding their businesses.





Actually, Rochas is a catastrophe to Imo State.

please my people, dont be deceived. you will cry when you visit Imo state. bad road and dilapidated structures is what you will see.

Rochas and his family have destroyed the state.

This govt is cheating the IBO's.no single project in d east and meaningful appointment.

APC and Corruption.

This is a very corrupt party.

God should save us.

Okorocha is a disgrace to Imo People. Can he tell us one project he truely completed in Imo state. He only build and demonished the next year.

All the health centres he said he built, check it out, it is only rats and cockroaches that are living there. All the roads he did are "China Road" He killed Adapalm and other industries.

He should show us any primary schools he truely renovated rather what you will see are abandoned projects in some primary schools

Him and his son in law(uche nwosu) are busy taking people's land by force and deceit.

Rochas is a rogue and his only business in imo state is to dispossess people of their allocated lands.

This is what Rochas is turning to. He is only busy depossessing people of their land.

This is very unfortunate and sad. in a broad daylight. What is happening in this country.

We are no longer safe.

The Allottees of lands at Federal sites and services AVU in Owerri are crying for help over the move by Rochas to take over 90hectares of lands.This land was acquired by Federal Ministry of Lands and allocated to individuals.
Sources confirmed that he want to re-allocate it to his family and friends and this a broad day robbery and corruption
At time of this report, heavy duty equipment are seen destroying fences and clearing the entire 90 hectares for his selfish interest.

There is so much frustration in Imo over Rochas’ activities in taking peoples lands and reallocating same to his family and Friends.

There are so many plots allocated by previous Government and hw will turns around and acquires same by force which they will further allocate to NEW PEOPLE. Places in minds includes Shell Camp, Arugo Layout, Redemption Estate Obinze,some lands in Nekede and Umugwuma. In some cases he redesign same allocated plots by reducing the plot sizes so as to get extra plots for himself and friends. Some people said that he allocates a plot of land for 2 or 3 people to share.
With the impunity at which he collects lands from individuals, many people are afraid of acquiring land in Imo state for investment purposes.

Source confirmed that he may be doing this in connivance with some officials of Federal Ministry of Lands.

This is fraud and should be condemned. Federal Government should call him to order since he does not obey Court

There is no big deal in identifying ghost works. If Govt can only pay salaries through banks and with BVN, you can easily identify who is a Ghost workers.

Meanwhile, can we have list of the identified Ghost workers so that we can cross check and ensure that are not recycled by Govt

How much have we paid to each of these Ghost workers?

Why should the be impounding brand new cars purchased years back on the excuse that custom duty was not paid.

why can't they go after the importers of these cars instead of end users.

this is wickedness and heartless.

this govt is fraud

Buhari Led APC government is a fraud.

they can only win by rigging.

i am sorry for this country and the present Govt led by Buhari is a fraud.

Look what happened in River state re run, it is shame for a Govt that said they are fighting corruption.

i fear for this country

Can EFCC tell us the money they fund in the account of OBJ and Atiku? is any of the stolen money tracked to PEJ or they just find money in her account?

so she has no right to own money or what?

Just asking ooo

We are not excepting anything good from PMB. We are only watching him.

His Govt is meant for people in the North.

I am from Imo state. This story is not true. I dont know why people like deceit.

Okorocha is a scam. it is unfortunate he claims to be a leader.

He always thought we are all fools. How can these be militants?

Buhari and EFCC should go after Shakarau. He is corrupt.

we need to examine Rochas' head.

Can't he go for Senate President? This man has no shame.

is Mbaka ok? Who is playing the music he is dancing?

i love DINO. he is the real man.

APC is full of mad people. APC had turn Nigeria into a land of Comedy.

what a shame.

Buhari's appointment so far had shown that South East and South South are not part of this country. Most the NDAs are taking a queue from him.

Almost all the appointments are for the North. Welldone Buhari. We can see the integrity in you.

This is how to fight corruption.

i leave in Surulere lagos. We only get light when fashola is around. Once he leaves, Eko dist takes their light.

Last weekend, he was around, we had light.

is this not corruption? i am just asking?

Two dead organisations given to non northerners

Pity this country.

Most of the appointment by Buhari is only for the North.

Still people said he is not corrupt .

This is corruption my people.

Another Movie game by APC. We are tired of watching Dasuki , osita Metuh and Kanu.

Buhari is selective in his corruption fight but what next when he exits?

Nigerians are watching.
