Austinoiz: I only saw Rochas' asslickers. As far as Imolites are concerned, Okoroawusa is a political goner in Imo. Zombies in Orlu zone can have his pampers-covering ass in NASS at their detriment.
It's only a most dead zombie in Orlu zone who shall vote anyone associated with Rochas Okorocha in next year's general elections.
Senselin: I remember that Rotimi Amaechi constructed the section from Igwuruta to boundary with Owerri. (The said road passes through Ubima, his hometown but it is a Federal Road).
A lot of Federal roads are bad, an example i[b]s Ihiala-Orlu road. This road is used by travelers going to Akwa-Ibom, Calabar, Ebonyi etc. Another [/b]Road is the East West Road section from Warri to Port Harcourt. That road has taken too long to complete. The list is endless.
PLEASE tell me the road Abia State constructed. Is it from Aba to Okigwe or where? That state, with Kogi are plaqued with bad leaders The federal road from Aba Road in Port Harcourt to Umuahia is bad(correct me if I am wrong).
Again, From Uyo (boundary with Cross River State) to Calabar federal highway is bad. That road is a death trap.
The Ihialla-Orlu--Akwa-Ibom-Cross River road is long due for dualization given the volume of traffic it carries.
Abagworo: Do Igbos really want to secede? The answer is a no no but rather those who lost in life or politics are using the secession mantra as a tool to regain relevance.
You are not an Igbo, you know it.
"Lost in life" What did you mean by that?
How did you know that Igbos do not want to secede from Nigeria?
The civilized world does not see peaceful secessionsts moves as crime.
Only some of the indolent tribes of Nigeria regard secession as a crime.
Ireland seceded from the UK in 1916.
Belgium seceded from the Netherlands in 1830.
Austria seceded from Germany in 1945.
Eritrea seceded from Ethiopia in 1993 with the blessing of the newly formed Ethiopian Parliament.
Finland seceded from the Soviet Union in 1917.
Etc. Etc. Etc.
It's a right for any group to secede from a country the group is inconvenienced, notwithstanding how long the country has existed, not withstanding the degree at which groups in the country had mixed up.
I love the lectures you give to those Igbos forlornly hoping and waiting for the day Nigeria shall be restructured politically in a democratic atmosphere.
Without the agitation for restoration of Biafra, who would still be talking about political restructuring of Nigeria these days?
Any way, most countries of the world are products of conquest, that is, one or two groups, or more coming together to conquer others and impose the value systems of the conquerors upon all in the country. Nigeria is a typical example.
Nigeria's civil war was won for northern region of Nigeria.
Between 1967 and 1996, Northern Nigeria used its loyal soldiers who wrongly used land mass as yardstick to restructure Nigeria politically to the betterment of the north's political class.
Since the past 25 years, Eastern Nigerians, and to a lesser degree, the southwest region, have been asking for a democratic restructuring of the country and its political process, but the north has continued to use its undue parliamentary over-representation to spurn restructuring. OBJ and GEJ governments tried restructuring, no result.
In a nutshell, any Igbo still clamoring for restructuring of Nigeria is "ogbu oge," - time waster. And they are mainly these Igbos who built landed property or have businesses in other parts of Nigeria outside the east.
For those Igbos, it is what they gain in their lifetime, not what shall be the prospects of their offspring in Nigeria.

I can go on and on. 1000 projects without any economic benefit to Imolites. Less than 1year after Okorocha leaves govt house, Imo ppl will only remember him for bringing pain and anguish to the walls and bloods of Imolites.
Till tomorrow Udenwa is a man of the people. A humble governor loved by Imolites. His projects still stands. True to his words and allowed development to get to the grassroots.
Here is Rochas Okorocha in campaign in 2010 thanking God, praising Achike Udenwa for establishing Imo state University Teaching Hospital in Orlu.
Since 2011, Rochas has refused to repair the one km road leading to the teaching hospital because he has the ulterior motive to trade the hospital with Owerri so that Owerri shall allow him fully own Eastern Palm University which he built in his hometown, Ogboko, while sitting as governor of Imo state.
Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha has told former governor of the state, Chief Achike Udenwa to remain in Abuja because Imo people will stone him if he enters the state.
The governor said Udenwa was a failure who achieved nothing after eight years as governor of the state.
Okorocha was reacting to an interview where Udenwa described Okorocha as a colossal failure whose projects in the state were usually cosmetic and often collapsed before completion.
Speaking through his Chief Press Secretary, Sam Onwuemeodo, Okorocha said Udenwa was a broke politician seeking attention.
He said, “Udenwa ruled Imo State for eight good years; let him come and show Imo people what he did for them those years. It is not enough to criticise; the facts are there.
“In the case of Okorocha, he has been in office for barely seven years and has over 1000 projects and still counting. Anybody who comes to Imo will see that he has changed the face of the state.
“Okorocha is a grassroots man and Imo people like him because they know he has their interests at heart. Most of his investments even before he became the governor are in Imo State.
“If you come to Imo State and criticise Okorocha, the masses will stone you. It is only the elite in Imo State that are not happy with him and we all know why. Udenwa who is talking, live in Abuja and does not even know what is happening in Imo State.
“If he comes to Imo State, he cannot criticise Okorocha because the people will come after him.
“You could not have governed Imo for eight years with nothing to show and you are criticising Okorocha whose projects have transformed the state and even a blind man can see them.”
Udenwa today walks the streets of Orlu and rest of Imo state free.
After 2019 May 29, if Okorocha leaves Orlu the way it is now, Okorocha may not walk the streets of Imo state, especially Orlu, without getting stoned.
Udenwa established a university teaching hospital in Orlu zone, Okorocha in October 2016 established a committee headed by Acho Ihim to relocate the teaching hospital from Orlu to Owerri, because Okorocha wants to trade the hospital with Owerri for Owerri to leave Okorocha to fully own Eastern Palm University in Ogboko.
Orlu has had no stadium since Okorocha dismantled Orlu stadium rebuilt by Udenwa. Okorocha watches since 2011 as most of the urban roads built in Orlu by Udenwa got washed away, no maintenance.
Ofodirinwa: An illiterate campaign promise to illiterate people. How can the government in a civilized society build facilities for a labor union that is supposed to keep the government in check by fighting for better living conditions for workers. If the government builds facilities for said labour union, can they open their mouth to complain about government minimum wage inside of that building? Non-payment of wages?
As a member of the government, the money you spend building and (hopefully not) maintaining this building is a bastardization of a budget and intelligent expenditure. Tomorrow you'll hear that the government is in debt.
This is all a product of low IQ on behalf of the government and the labour union. People think corrupt is the issue. How can corruption in government be an issue in a government that doesn't know what government is?
When a semi-literate person in power is also driven by grudge, the result is what we see in Imo: a state governor wastes nearly 95% of the state's capital development budget building what he likes in one small patch of the state -Owerri.
Ofodirinwa: this is not a criticism of Okorocha. More so the whole of Nigeria
Why is the government building the office for Labour? Does anyone in government know what government is supposed to be doing? Because 'everything and nothing' isn't working.
Only in Imo state. Govt builds offices for Labour, NUJ, even rebuilds private schools in Owerri.
That is what bearing grudge can cause.
Instead of Okorocha govt asphalting the roads it scrapped in Orlu area since 2012; old grudge would not allow him. He would rather the people inhale dust and die.
Emmalez: A Nigerian woman identified as Odion is currently battling for her life after a fellow Nigerian lady simply identified as Bella, bathed her with acid in Torino, Italy on Sunday June 3rd. The attacker has since been arrested and the police is investigating the root cause of the attack.
Struggle for Oyibo penis/dick/money. Poor slaves. Their side of Nigeria makes Nigeria the sixth or seventh largest oil producing country in the world, but under colonization by IOCs and their Fulani surrogates. Tell them about Biaf... for freedom, some of them no understand things.
God is of forgiveness and mercy - if Benue people had protested like this during the pogrom against Igbos and other easterners in northern Nigeria in 1966.......
In Nigeria, Igbos lead in wisdom, others follow - take this to the bank - a country is not worthy to exist where countrymen have consistently killed fellow countrymen.
BoneBlogger: The Borno state government has begun the demolition of brothels and unregistered hotels in Galadima outlawed area.The demolition process started this morning with heavy security presence after a notice and ultimatum were issued the owners.
The properties slated for demolishing include illegally acquired land, substandard structures, and construction at inappropriate locations, occupied without document or occupied without document remit. The structures includes:
HOTELS IN GALADIMA AREA MAIDUGURI.
* New Travels Hotel. * Gondola Hotel. * paragon Hotel. * Chinners Hotel. * Pampas Hotel. * Favour land Hotel. * Blue Sport Hotel. * Sea Never Dry Hotel. * Rall View Hotel. * Okonna Hotel. * Easy Guest in Hotel. * Peace Hotel. * Chicago Hotel. * Chrbos hotel. * Benue Hotel. * New Travelers 2 Hotel. * Moonlight Hotel. * Chobados hotel. * Chiners 2 Hotel. * Wazobia Hotel.
This is coming days after brothels and hotels in the area were raided by security operatives and many prostitutes arrested in the process.
In a country with a fake constitution, northern governors operate as they like to. They adopt and operate unconstitutional sharia criminal codes at will.
Lol. Election is nearing. Between 2013 till 2015 presidential election campaigns, nearly every northern politician that mattered attended nearly every Owambe and burial ceremony in Yorubaland.
After the election, northerners no more attended Owambe and burial ceremonies, until now that election is coming nearer.
petsam11: OK... But for me I feel he has a better chance of winning in his senatorial zone than installing a governor talk less of installing a senator in Owerri Zone....
Not even by rigging. Not even by rewriting election resuilts by INEC officials.
It shall be the most policed senate race ever. This man, Rochas Okorocha, showed Orlu pepper for seven years.
Vorpal: Liable but not a justification for conviction, the brothers fighting, was there a potent need to let out a bullet from an assault rifle? Plus what was wrong in using tear gas?
A country's Army does not do Patrol in peace time in the country.
This gives out the fact that Nigerian Army ( its Janjaweedss section anyway) is no more a military formation, but an occupation Army in the SE and SS regions, attacking unarmed civilians at will.
Nkem4040: I may not like Rochas Okorocha, but I respect his children for the courses they are studying. The other son in UK also has BS and Masters from Imperial college....a school comparable to MIT in USA. You cannot enter these school without having distinctions in all subjects. I know because a friend applied with all distinctions and still got rejected. I love children who are hard working, intelligent despite their father's money. You just have to be naturally brilliant to excel in engineering. No amount billions given to you will help.
But. Okorocha is a most wicked governor in Nigeria. He pretends he doesn't see the sufferings of the people in his state.
coolcatty: There are two classes of people.....the poor and the rich....the rich don't know party,religious or political affiliation...they all have a common unifier which is wealth and power and
use the poor gullible ones to achieve their aims
Pity the poor. The poor are the real victims of the Amaechi/Abe VS Wike brouhaha
Alariwo2: Nzeogwu should have used his brain back then to know there'll be consequences of an igbo coup. Even Ironsi too should have left the system the way the Whites left it
Now see what you people have been reduced to in Nigeria.. such a pity
chukwu alabama okike sef go dey shake head for una
Only pride you have in Nigeria is becoming president of Nigeria. But see how Nigeria became worse than a Banana Republic because of how it shares its presidency. You no get shame set.
After you people leading Nigeria both in military and civilian clothes for fifty years, and with more than $1trillion form oil, hunger still kills Nigerians, no lights, no pipe borne water, you no still get shame of your leadership role.
You want retain Biafrans in a country you ruled and FAILED.
Alariwo2: My instincts tells me the whole thing was staged to tarnish Nigeria Army's image ahead of the proposed biafra day..
This is to show how desperate, tactless and thoughtless those people from red mud region can be.
Expect more drama soon.. but my own question is.. to what end?
Small pikin blackmail against Biafra from another parasite.
More than 60 million people in Biafra have absolute rights to leave your failed Nigeria and move to another country. If you want to remain in Nigeria and even go blind in Nigeria, that's your cup of tea.
Most important thing is that you must not for any reasons drag any body or group to remain with you in a failing Nigeria. You must not act Hercules.
