Seeing gov Okorocha weep at every occasion, including in Abuja, these days, resurrects pity for him, baby politician.

How could a state governor build nearly every thing he considers good only in the state capital and his village in eight years?


Imo state by now should have been proud to show off Orlu as another model city in the state, but for Okorocha's grudge against Orlu and its people. Orlu is more cosmopolitan a city than Owerri if the roads linking the many urban sprawls in Orlu area are built.


At so many junctures, notables cried out from Orlu before gov Okorocha to at least complete the roads he scrapped in Orlu, if nothing else. Okorocha refused till today.

At every cry raised by Orlu, Okorocha would rather answer with embarking on another grandiose project in Owerri, including 6 Inland roads, multi-storey car park, federal police and prison headquarters, road tunnels and ultimately, the last desperate ditch for a 1000 Bed Mother and Child hospital to stiffle the uncompleted and yet to be fully equipped university teaching hospital at Orlu.



Mind readers can't read what is in someone's mind. If so, Orlu could not have made Rochas Okorocha governor. Yes, without the massive and highest number of votes from Orlu to Okorocha at first ballot in 2011, he could not have qualified for supplementary election against Ohakim.

Okorocha shall live to regret his grudge against Orlu

Imo1stson:
Contrary to what you wrote Okorocha actually spread development to both Okigwe and Orlu as well as most villages in all 3 zones. He just didn't invest in media hype while his opposition concentrated in exaggerating what he has not done or where he erred. If I mention what he built in Okigwe zone it could be up to 500 verifiable projects projects including roads, schools, hospitals, ICT centers, markets and more.

Why are you now hiding your NL moniker, Abagworo, if you truly believe that Rochas did well as governor, spread his government's development projects to Okigwe and Orlu zones on a just manner?
For seven years, you continued to place Owerri developments online and tag them Imo state development.


You were warned that your principal, Rochas was threading on injustice and what shall amount to his political downfall. You refused to tell Rochas,.

FYI, Rochas tactically destroyed every govt development project, including Imo state University teaching hospital, stadium, Imo international market, he met in Orlu. He even scrapped roads in Orlu and abandoned them till today.

Rochas Okorocha's dream to represent Orlu in the Senate is a pipe dream. Take this to the CBN.

APC Abuja said many of Okorocha's acts as governor of Imo state are embarrassing to APC as a party. That's true.

tysontim:
If they show you the equipments now you'll say is inferior or you find another fault. I don't know what Rochas do una

What Rochas did?

No governor since governance began on earth did about 96% of what he believed are development projects in one locality, but let the rest of the area he was governing to decay.

Two factors: 1) because governor wanted to show off in State capital, then hide away the funds that should have gone for development in the whole state.
2) the governor has an immense grudge against one part of his state, in governor's senatorial district.
No pipe borne water in Imo state.

Floods wreck Orlu whose people live on dilapidated roads. Rochas deliberately destroyed existing govt development projects he met in Orlu in 2011.

Why can't Rochas be jail-bound for being a con man in Imo govt house?

Who approved Free Mother and Child hospital Owerri?


Not Imo state House of Assembly, not people of Imo state.

Hospital is most expensive infrastructure to run.
It's not enough Rochas Okorocha's empty building called hospital aimed by him to finally suffocate the state University teaching hospital.

Imo must complete its first tertiary health care project of University teaching hospital started since 2002, before embarking on Okorocha's wild goose chase of Free Mother and Child hospital - a name apparently coined by a semi-literate man.

RareDiamond:
I disagree with your assertions. Listed below are some of the federal projects attracted by Rochas Okorocha to Imo State

1. Nigerian Airforce Quick Response Group Base in Owerri

2 Nigerian Police College of Finance and Administration Ideato

3. Three military and One Police Federal hospitals

So State governor builds projects and gives the completed projects free of charge to federal government, as are the Okorocha govt projects you mentioned?

Gov. Okorocha who did nearly all his government's development efforts in Owerri, destroyed every govt development project he met in Orlu, but now wants to represent Orlu zone in the Senate, he made Nigerians look at him as a craze man.

Instead of Obasanjo to call for outright split up of impossible one Nigeria, he spoke truth in half measures, thus Fulani asks for his head.


If the south decided to split from Nigeria now, what use is Fulani's advancing army of herdsmen, Boko Haram and bandits? Fulani can't last one week of fight to recover one Nigeria it wants to colonize

LuciferQuran:
It's funny how Nigerians spread hate against migrants in their own land while they demand various rights as (illegal) migrants overseas.

Fulani herdsmen are peace-loving tourists and should be allowed to visit every nook & cranny of this country until their exploratory thirst is satisfied. This was how Amerigo Vespucci founded America.

Truth is, Nigeria actually need Fulani herdsmen to unlock her potential.
Let's stop being sentimental for once & support them!




*spits

That's what crude oil brought to Nigeria.
Politicians from the south take politics of Nigeria as employment to earn crude oyel money; it doesn't matter that Fulani under Buhari presidency is gradually surrounding all of Nigeria

For many Yorubas, it doesn't matter if Nigeria becomes a Sultanate, so long there is crude oil in the Niger delta for one Nigeria.

anungangampu:
This country self.....Almost every tribe has weak spot for thier own millitant group..... Divide.....no........Be in peace Kwanu....no....just lip love..

Divide Nigeria?
Wow
What shall the SW and Northern Nigeria live on without crude oil revenues; as both regions seriously believe in the falsehood that that crude oil is all there is for a country to live on?

RareDiamond:
This project was attracted by Hon Emeka Ihedioha to his Mbutu home town when he was in the house of representatives. The project was approved and construction started during the Goodluck Jonathan administration
.

Isorite.

Lesson is that Ihedioha even as a legislator attracted a federal development project to Imo state.

A pot bellied humpty dumpty we mistakenly elected governor in 2011 did not attract any significant federal development project from his ruling party.
He was rather using our federal allocations to sponsor federal projects, because he wants to be seen as good presidential material.
He couldn't even provide Imo with essential projects like water supply. He uprooted many of the huge pipes of Owerri water supply, perhaps including Okigwe's.

Imo1stson:
Okorocha completes and equips the two 1000 bed Hospitals to the surprise of many. The landscaping and road paving looks ready to be completed soonest.

Gov Okorocha:

builds 27 General hospitals to be well equipped,


wastes billions of Naira to demolish and clear debris at Eke Owerri.

spends billions of Naira to establish similar market along the major highway at Egbeada Owerri


spends billions of Naira to build a gigantic iron and concrete block he calls hospital at Eke Owerri, without approval or appropriation of the state House of Assembly, without consulting people of Imo state.

He adds more buildings to Imo Specialist hospital Owerri.

All these after Okorocha carefully and deliberately suffocated the state university teaching hospital Orlu, where IMSG had spent billions of Naira to establish since 2002.

Okorocha wants to represent Orlu in the Senate.


Define a mad governor.
Must governor dress unclad in the market place before we know that all is not well with his upstairs?

Nigeria to Produce Agricultural Machinery Soon ― FG

By ADEMOLA ADEGBITE | ABUJA On May 20, 2019

THE Federal Government will soon commission Agricultural Machinery and Development Institute (AMEDI) in Mbotu, Mbaise Local Government Area of Imo state.

Speaking when he visited the Institute at the weekend, the Minister of Science and Technology, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu disclosed that the institute would design and produce agricultural machinery for farming, planting, processing, and harvesting of agricultural produce.

In a statement by the Deputy Director, Press and Public Relations Unit of the ministry, AbdulGaniyu Aminu, a copy of which was made available to the Nigerian Tribune in Abuja, on Monday, Dr Onu further said the institute was established in order to ensure food security in Nigeria.

According to him, my visit to the institute is to enable me to assess the level of work in preparation for the commissioning.

“The institute is not for actual production, our interest is for them to do the design and do the necessary research so that the commercialization will be done by the organized private Sector.

“If we involve our businessmen and women all over the world, the level of commercialization will be much higher. We would not only be in a position to produce this machine to be used locally in Nigeria but also for our export.” He added.

He described the past situation in which Nigeria was the highest importer of rice as unacceptable, adding that “today we are doing very well, we are importing very little and producing rice in abundance though we still need to produce more”.

Dr. Onu stressed need to mechanize our agriculture and introduce lot technology and innovation that will make agricultural processes to be very stress-free and competitive.

“We need to train our people, boost agricultural capacity if we have enough people who have this capability to design of machines, we would be in a position to start exporting some of these machines,” he added.

Dr, Onu further disclosed that the workshop of the institute is 80% completed while the administrative block is at an advanced stage, adding that the equipment is available in Mbutu and will be installed as the building is nearing completion.

Earlier, the Director-General, the National Agency for Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI), Professor Muhammed Haruna, who was represented by a director in the agency, Mrs. Nonye Onyiyechi said that institute was established to boost agricultural production through mechanization.

She expressed hope that with the visit of the minister, the project would be concluded before the end of the year

https://www.tribuneonlineng.com/212968/

If Dr Onu finally pulls this instititute through, its multiplier effects like jobs and more food, can't be far-fetched. The institute becomes the first significant gain of Imo state from APC federal government since 2015.

shine12:
I know her, She was telling me of her aspiration to run for Clr 4 years ago. Lovely woman with a passion to serve.

How ironic is it that people like this will not even come near the throne of governance in their home country.

She can't come close to the throne of governance in contemporary Nigeria because the country has been literally split into many new countries by today's politicians from SW and north of Nigeria.

What holds Nigeria one country today is the colonial master.

LuciferQuran:
How can this one be a Sheriff?

Can she hunt down outlaws like Bonnie, Clyde, Butch, Sundance Kid, Jesse James, Billy the Kid, Harvey Logan etc in this her ugly maternity gown?
I'm very sure she has chronic arthritis and Alzheimer's.

Even by looking in her eyes I can tell she has robbed before.

No doubt that community is in trouble.
I see criminals overrunning them in a short time.




*spits

When a Lucifer incarnate speaks, it's not hard to see.


Tomorrow you shall blackmail eastern Nigerians who don't want to share one country with hate-filled people like you; as you argue blindly for continuation of your hate-filled one Nigeria, because your brain has been intoxicated by crude oil in the Niger delta region.

Imo1stson:
The question now is since his successor is from a party that disagrees with Okorocha's policies can Ihedioha sustain these ingenious achievements? Will his followers sweep shame aside, accept the truth that Okorocha is on the right track and then urge him to sustain the track to achieve the ultimate goal or will they out of pride destroy these legacies?

Okorocha upturned nearly every devt project he met in Imo state that were established by former governors, right from Mbakwe's surface water supply systems, to the University teaching hospital established by Udenwa.

So who does Okorocha expect to move ahead with his projects that were mostly empty buildings that never got legislative approval from IMHA?

We Are Investigating Gov. Okorocha Over N7.9 Billion Money - EFCC

Iberiberism governor who didn't know that regulations on conflicts of interest does not allow him build private businesses while sitting as State governor.

He used state funds to build a university in his village and said it's 90% private owned and 10% govt owned.

Skepticus:


I'm glad Iberiberism is reaching its fatal end!

So, this is what Roach-ass finally gets for licking the anus of his Fulani masters!

Iberiberism governor who wants to represent Orlu he fought eight years of war against its development.

Only a thieving governor would join in the petition.

A gov Okorocha used what he could spare from eight years federal allocations to the local government areas of Imo to build bogus structures in the state capital hoping to use the vainglory structures to attract attention and sympathy of Nigerians to his presidential ambition.

The rest of Imo state outside Owerri was decaying in eight years.

writefreely:
Who cares where the next president comes from? Certainly not progressive and serious minded individuals.

But since Nigeria has decided to be the joke of the world, let's give another illiterate babalawo who doesn't give a damn about the welfare of common Nigerians.

It is 2019 and some senseless fools who aren't promised tomorrow are thinking of 2023 already because of selfish interest. I don't know why Nigerians who I thought were wise cannot see beyond these shenanigans.

We have oil, and we have people who can turn oil into jobs, money, comfort, peace and progress. But we give those who turn natural resources into personal resources, poverty, unemployment, injustice and annihilation of the youth.

Nigerians, open your okpolo eyes. If we waste anymore time in electing ambitious leaders, we postpone our emancipation. And remember it takes at least 20years of sustained development to get to the place of our dreams.

A talk from a real patriot.

After eight years of Buhari, another eight years of a babalawo from the SW, arising from APC as a conspiratorial party, shall totally ruin Nigeria.

Meanwhile, they think they are still fighting the civil war against the Igbo.

When one part of a country is sick, it draws the rest of the country to become sick.

Methinks, Lawn is setting up Yoruba against Igbo rivalry for north to produce next president after Buhari.

Lawan, are you sure APC can survive Buhari's absence from APC? By 2023, Buhari influence in APC must have weakened.

MyGeneration:
They hate APC. And the fact that Rocha's is associated with it, so much that they comitted political suicide.

High level 5star foolishness, and u would see foolish Igbo's saying they don't want presidency that its not by force.

They are using there foolishness to spoil and frustrate our chances, at the end one day our children would look at lists of Nigeria president since 1999, every region would get there turn twice, south west has gotten, north has gotten ,south south has gotten. And now its about to go back to the south west and south south through Amaechi then back to the north our people would be there fooling themselves saying we need Biafra and other people would be laughing at us.

Our eye go clear soon.

There are dozens of better presidential materials from the southeast in APC than Rochas Okorocha.

Nigeria's presidency is not for sale to the highest bidder; if it is, Buhari wouldn't have become president in 2015.

Each time Rochas whips up the sentiments of small minded Igbos that INEC is withholding certificate of returns because of his 2023 presidential bid, he makes more mess of himself before informed Nigerians.

Besides, are you sure APC can survive without Buhari?

Imo1stson:
Some of the commissioned roads

Okorocha wants to become president of Nigeria,
therefore:

instead of giving Imo people pipe borne water, Okorocha builds High courts in Owerri with the hope he shall be in the good books of Nigeria's Judiciary;


Okorocha builds federal government prisons and police headquarters in Owerri with the hope he shall be in the good books of Buhari-led executive.

Okorocha builds NUJ offices in Owerri with the hope he shall be in the good books of the Fourth Estate of the Realm - the Press.

Okorocha builds huge houses and boulevards all over Owerri hoping that people shall see the houses and recommend him for Igbo president of Nigeria.

Okorocha, Owelle,

Nigerians are wiser than you. Your pursuit of your personal interest against the interest of your subjects is now a household talk

kettykin:
The development of the east is 99 percent individual effort the 1% development is when and if the government tars a road leading to a village. Oguta, abriba, ohafia ,orlu, nnewi , Abatete ohaukwu etc were all 99 percent planned and developed by the indigenes
the government developed cities like Umuahia, awka, enugu etc

How did Orlu get into the group of villages?

Are you sure you have been to Orlu before?
Owerri is most developed city in Imo state, but
Orlu is the most cosmopolitan city in Imo state, only that govs can't asphalt the streets that link up the many urban settlements in Orlu. Politics of Imo state capital and successive poorly educated governors in Imo state who see State capital as all to build on in Imo state.

RoyalUc:
I don't understand INEC's unnecessary drama with Rochas.

Is INEC planning on conducting a fresh election or declaring the other candidate winner or leaving that senatorial district without a Senator?

I think it's time to end this child's play.

First place to go for voting and result disputes after election is the Election Petitions Tribunal.

But Gov Okorocha raced to a High Court first to pray the court to order INEC to issue Okorocha with a Certificate of Return.
Okorocha believed that his friend President Buhari would order court to order INEC to issue Certificate of Returns to Okorocha, the same manner he believed that president Buhari would enable Third term for Okorocha through his son-in-law.

Certificate of return is given to winner of election.
Okorocha didn't win election. He manipulated election results and INEC discovered it.

This is computer image of Prince Hotel Imo state govt led by Rochas Okorocha received approval to build in Orlu.

Foundation stone was laid in 2012 by then Speaker of IMHA, now Senator Uwajumogu.

Only the three blocks foundation is on the site today.

What happened to money budgeted for Prince Hotel, Orlu?

Rochas Okorocha and his goons must answer.

Okorocha, you can't represent Orlu zone.

You did 99% of your development efforts on Owerri zone.
That's what your hatred against Orlu brought you


Unless this road to Imo state University teaching hospital Orlu is rebuilt by Okorocha before May 29, no court can hear Okorocha's suit.


By the way, Okorocha never won any senatorial election.

In a possible rerun election, Rochas Okorocha can't get up to 5% of votes.

IN RIVERS STATE ALONE.


THE MAIN OIL PRODUCING COMMUNITIES ARE NOT IKWERE OR KALABARI.


THE OIL IN RIVERS IS ON IGBO SPEAKING LAND.(MAJORITY) THE REST IS AT SEA.


GOWON RIPPED IGBO COMMUNITIES OUT OF ABIA AND IMO AND JOINED THEM TO RIVERS BECOS OF THEIR OIL.



IGBO HAVE OIL IN ABIA, IMO, ANAMBRA.



THE LARGEST GAS RESERVE IN THE WHOLE OF AFRICA IS ON IGBO LAND.


BIAFRA IS ALL WE NEED.

Oyibo economic interest in Nigeria is what is blocking restoration of Biafra, not the power of any group or groups in Nigeria.

Federal government must modernize Akanu Ibiam International Airport to carry bigger jets.
Talk of returning the airport to local is unimaginable. Is Nigeria moving backwards or forward?

mbadinujiu:
You are not serious. By the time Rocha's lives IMO as a governor you people will know the true shape of IMO state. Rocha's is not an angel but has done very well. He has tried his best.

Rochas wasted or lavished nearly all eight years of federal allocations to Imo state and its LGAs on Owerri building vainglory structures; as Rochas hoped people would easily see the structures and brand him a good presidential material.

Rest of Imo state outside Owerri deteriorated.

No common pipe borne water anywhere in Imo state.
May God never allow any one like Rochas Okorocha again to govern Imo state

VP Osinbajo take note: pls don't allow Okorocha's Iberiberism affect you: Okorocha suffocated the state university teaching hospital in Orlu commissioned by former president Obasanjo in 2007.
Okorocha deliberately strangulated the teaching hospital to near comatose state, because Okorocha hates the former governor who established the hospital, hates Orlu and its people. Okorocha dismantled the roofs of the stadium in Orlu commissioned the same day by Obasanjo, even scrapped and abandoned the roads in Orlu since 2012.

Below is the dilapidated road to the teaching hospital as abandoned by Okorocha since 2012.
