Hmm.. leave buhari out of this! CCB are just doing their job.

Na now CCB remember Saraki? Una de deceive even una selves for this Naija. Buhari wants to appoint senate president that shall do eyes right as Buhari transforms himself to a dictator.

The belief that Rochas Okorocha as governor of Imo state deliberately wanted to make people in Ideato/Orlu to suffer is fast gaining ground in these areas.
If not, how could a government of Okorocha scrap roads in these areas, pour mud on top, and abandon the roads for four years running, cripple movement; and partially destroy youths sports stadium, refuse to establish any thing reasonable in the areas?

No where in Owerri could Rochas scrap roads used by tens of thousands of people and abandon the road for four years.

Okorocha's deputy opened up with Vanguard recently that Okorocha spent 75% of his development efforts in four years in Owerri. But it must be up to 95%.

…Royal father’s son says erosion has sacked their community

By Peter Anosike

The people of Ideato in Orlu Senatorial Zone of Imo State are no longer happy. They are particularly angry that their son and brother-governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha has allowed them to suffer untold hardship.
Presently, they have been ravaged by erosion, which has completely cut off their town from the rest of the state.
The Okwelle-Uruala road which linked most of the communities to the rest of the state has broken into two thereby cutting them off from the rest of the state while Okorocha looked the other way and instead constructed a new road that led to his house at Ugboka.
In this interview with Oriental News, Prince Nixon Okwaram, the son of the late traditional ruler of Isiekenesi and chairman, Ideato South Council of Tradtional Rulers, His Royal Highness, Eze Cypril Okawauba, lamented that his people have been abandoned by the state and federal governments.
According to him, the people of Ideato are now living in agony and fear as a result of erosion menace, which is now pulling down their houses and destroying their farm lands. Prince Okwara also spoke on other issues.
Excerpts:

What is the state of the ecological problems confronting Ideato people?
Without being told, you should know that the rainy season is always the most active period of erosion. Right now, Isiekenesi in particular and Ideato as a whole has become the Bermuda Triangle of Nigeria, that is the place of no return because we are now completely cut off from the rest of Imo State.
The Okwelle-Uruala road which is the link road has broken into two that it is only swam boggies that can ply it. Apart from that, the erosion is now pulling down houses and destroying our farmlands. My people have been abandoned by both the Imo and federal governments to suffer and die. This is very unfortunate.

But Governor Okorocha is from the area; what is he doing about it?
That is what is baffling me because the road in question is what he has been using all his life. The road was built by the army in the 90s. It was in the process of conveying the engineers that were constructing the road that armed robbers snatched my father’s car and almost killed him. That is one of the reasons I am very passionate about the road because my father who was the traditional ruler of Isiekenesi and chairman, Ideato South Council of Traditional Rulers then almost lost his life while trying to ensure that it was constructed because it is very important to the people of Ideato.
Before now, the road has been manageable, but before the election, Rochas Okorocha graded it to give the impression that he wanted to construct it but later he abandoned it. The continuous rain has now completely made the road impassable. Okorocha himself has now constructed a fresh road from Orlu to Mgbe to his house at Ugboka, thereby cutting off Isiekenesi to
Uruala.
The only road to Osina for the residents of Isiekenesi is from Dikenafia which was constructed by former Governor Ikedi Ohakim, which is like the Isrealite journey in the wilderness.
So, that is where we are at the moment. My people are suffering. Farmers cannot take their products to the market due to there is no road.
Even if we have a case of emergency, we will be doomed because there is no road to get to us in good time. I am aware of the fact that the road is a Federal Government responsibility but the governor is from there and knows the agony that the people there are going through; he should have rehabilitated it and then put claims to the Federal Government like former Governor Peter Obi did. Does it mean that if a Federal Government-owned house falls on somebody in Imo State that we should not go to help the victims because the house belongs to the Federal Government?

Apart from the issue of road, are there other challenges facing your people?
The problem of Isiekenesi in particular and Ideato are legion. As I told you earlier, we have been completely abandoned by the governments of the day.
As I am talking to you now, there is no electricity in Isiekenesi. The 300 kva transformer that is serving over 150,000 people was bought in the 90s through communal efforts. The community contributed money to buy it. We have none from the state or the Federal Government and yet our people are subjected to pay electricity bills for the service they never consumed because the transformer is no longer functioning effectively due to old age and lack of maintenance.
There is also no pipe borne water in Isiekenesi, the water that my people are drinking is from a stream that dries up during the dry season. That will give you the picture of what is confronting our town. No road, no water and no electricity. I am wondering why we are being subjected to this type of hardship and suffering by our own son. Again, as I am talking to you now, we don’t even have any son or daughter of Isiekenesi serving in Okorocha’s government even in the capacity of a cleaner.
So, there is no presence of either state or Federal Government in our community.

Do you think that this victimization is political?
I don’t think so because the House of Representatives member representing Ideato North/South Federal Constituency, Hon. Austine Chukwukere is in APC. That is one of the two House of Representatives that APC won in the whole of South-east zone. So, the reason cannot be political.
I think that he deliberately wanted to make us suffer. I am, therefore, using this opportunity to draw the attention of the Federal Government under the leadership of Muhammadu Buhari to as a matter of urgency look into the issue of erosion in Ideato North and South of Imo State.
A state of national emergency should be declared in this regard before it will take over the entire federal constituency.

JewelRegi:
* if u abandon your kins men there must be a time you will need them.

Does Rochas Okorocha know that?


In four years as governor, Okorocha dedicated 90% of his development efforts in Owerri. His deputy said it was 75%.

Okorocha has little regard for people of Ideator/Orlu.

About 35% of population in Orlu Urban are from Ideato. But Okorocha has made Orlu urban to decay and depopulate in the last 4 years, as roads scrapped in Orlu and abandoned in the last four years remain nightmares to people.

And how is this news? Anybody's credit card can be declined anywhere, anytime, by computer glitch or forgetfulness of pin number.

David Cameron or Barack Obama's credit card could have been declined anytime any where by computer glitch or forgetfulness of pin number.
This could have made news on Tinubu's saharareporters

RIP.

When Nigerians of goodwill suggest solutions like return to fiscal federalism with regional government system to stop all these troubles like Boko Haram, Pipeline vandalism, Militants, MASSOB, etc, some set of Nigerians who say they come from the most sophisticated tribe in Nigeria twist facts and figures to suit their fancy.
My dear friends from the Southwest region, wake up. The most rich countries of the world have no crude oil. One of them is even landlocked.

To be convincing with today's declaration on religion in Nigeria, PMB NOW NEEDS TO PERSUADE THE LEADERS OF THE 12 NORTHERN SHARIA STATES TO RENOUNCE THE ADOPTION OF SHARIA CRIMINAL LAWS.

ADOPTION OF SHARIA CRIMINAL LAWS IN THEIR STATES REMAINS UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

chuna1985:
Sharia is still been used for killing people in the north east and north west.

Nigerians don't even know that.



Most of Nigeria, especially in the south don't even know that it is unconstitutional for any state to adopt sharia criminal laws - as was done by 12 northern states.
The north knows. The north fcuks up south of Nigeria politically and religiously.

Most Nigerians in the south think it is sharia civil laws - sharia civil laws are constitutional. Sharia civil laws have been in the constitution for ages - but never sharia criminal laws.

SomebodyLovesMe:
Without Christ, Nigeria would have been comparable to the Somalias of today.

The beautiful thing is that God is not interested in religion - he is interested in obedience. Thanks to the few who truly obey Christ, this nation has been spared.

Yeah, love your neighbour as you love yourself. That's the golden rule of Christianity.
God or Allah must also approve this rule.

Observing this golden rule, any further activities about religion is adding extra - putting jarra.

Hawlahscho:
And you didn't hear when he stopped that

Stopped what?

One of the first official acts of PMB this year was to fix the exchange rate of US Dollar to Naira for pilgrims when Muslims were going to pilgrimage to Mecca.

They are making a u-turn after winning Aso Rock.

It's impossible to Islamize Nigeria - no matter how had you fight.

themilanway:
Pay them little attention.They accuse Buhari and APC of using propanganda to win the election,yet they were dishing out propanganda in droves just to remain in power.


Going by all the trash they said prior election,one would have thought Nigeria by now would have been declared an islamic Nation.

Pathetic set of people.

When Buhari said sharia criminal laws needed to be extended to all corners of Nigeria, did he not mean Islam for all of Nigeria?

Truth is that Boko has made Islamists of northern Nigeria see that religious extremism can be devastating.

Keneking:
Sai Buhari

- Our President
- Our Brand Manager
- Our Leader
- Our Number One Citizen
- Our Chairman
- Nigeria's CEO
- Africa's Number One
- Our Motivator
- Our CHANGE Captain
- Our Coach

Selling Nigeria's opportunities to the French people

That man (Ambassador?) on his left is too old for this job...we need a sharper person like BRF at the least to do this job of Minister of Foreign Affairs

Sai Buhari...I dey hail from my small cubicle

Common message:

1. Don't pay bribe to corrupt public servant and civil servants
2. Pay your tax
3. Report any suspected illegal transaction to EFCC

But did you observe one thing? In the last photo, most of the white people had their hands cupping their mouths looking in surprise mode.

Surprise about how Nigeria could elect this Buhari as a president.

When those 12 northern states adopted use of sharia criminal justice system, that's when things started to kpafuka - worsen - in the north of Nigeria.
If Boko Haram truly goes, it shall take many more generations again to return far north of Nigeria to the part of modernity.

SeverusSnape:
This is one of the numerous reasons I'm scared of getting married. Most women these days are wh0res.

I always advice guys to do a thorough background check before tying the knot with any woman, because women of nowadays are not like our chaste mothers who all married our fathers as virgins.

Anyways, No time to waste time. As for me, It's a virgin or nothing. I won't settle for less. I'm not saying virgins can't cheat, but they are less likely to do so.

#PersonalOpinion

But you are not a virgin. My guess must be right.

Na from Turkey Okorocha go get the next votes?

It is ember months. This abagworo tell us two months ago that by December 2015; this Okorocha government go don ready with a new sports stadium to replace the Sam Okwaraji stadium in Orlu which Okorocha bulldozers rendered useless.

Okorocha appeared to start with good intentions as governor. Later, he pitted himself in a fight against a few political opponents in Orlu areas where he gets his highest number of votes.

Because of his fight, he got into overall punishment of every body here - old government projects and the ones he proposed or started abandoned.
He went into having 90% of his development efforts in the state capital.

Does Okorocha want to end politics because of his bitterness against his traditional voters?

Editor1:
I smell desperation!!

Eyaa. Am beginning to feel for this man called Amaechi. It is slowly dawning on him dat he has been used and dumped.
All the stress, fighting, preaching and lavishing of Rivers State funds all gone down the drain.


Now, Amaechi needs serious press conferences to convince Buhari at he's 'not corrupt' just to make the least ministerial post.


Pls, someone should tell Bubu to still consider him. If Amaechi commits suicide out of heartbreak, his blood will be on Bubu's head o.
I don talk my own finish!

Amaechi is exposing his underbelly. He is showing that he has been naive all along.

The more he hires praise singers, the more he loses it.

Looooool.

Look. It won't be long before the picture of Amaechi returning empty handed from Abuja and begging Wike becomes real.

And Wike shall act like father of the prodigal son.

Amaechi and Wike have been buddies - too too far back.

Still on Rotimi Amaechi: I thought he would land Works Minister.

If Amaechi had retired to the Senate. But now, after his sojourn as Secretary, where does he go from there?

hinwazaka:
The same dailies which claimed without a doubt that Amaechi was been screened by the DSS, before confirmation as the SGF. But when it came down to the wire, did not have a scoop on the Northeocracy that was about to plague the President's cabinet. Thanks, I don't think I need their help. But since you don't have the mental capacity to think for yourself, keep on gulping their every word.

Looooooollllllll.

Rotimi Amaechi may hardly see a comfortable chair to sit on in Government Secretariat already filled up by Baba with Arewa people.

Rather than accept to be Secretary of Federal government, Rotimi Amaechi shall fare better being governor Wike's Secretary in Rivers state government.

Graduallh, Gradually, Gradually, Imo shall be freed of one man govt force. One man that spends 95% of his development efforts only in the state capital.

Una don finish yapi yapi - Okorocha this, Okorocha that?

My own is this: until Okorocha makes peace with Orlu areas and give them what is due to them, Okorocha politics must gradually nosedive till he bows out of politics.

No politician has ever pitted tent against his traditional voters and succeded.


Okorocha widened about four streets in Orlu, but scrapped more others, ruined the newly built town stadium, refuse to bring any useful business or educational project to the area.

manchy7531:
Well lets not talk about imo stategovt here. You can open a thread for that and direct your questions to berem

Even Berem can do better here - she can give a better excuse than you regarding why Gov. Okorocha seems to believe he is doing favour to only Orlu people if he dredges the town and asphalts the streets which are heavily built on both sides with houses.

How can anyone go to ask Berem? Is she the governor of Imo state?

If Buhari answers the call for repairs of federal roads in Imo state,
to whom do suffering Orlu urban dwellers appeal to for repairs, asphalting and dredging of about 30 urban roads in the town nearly fully built with houses on both sides?

Imo governor Okorocha and Orlu are not mentioned on the same page since 2013; except during the last gubernatorial election.

Few hours from now, APC-controlled media shall tell you it was no Boko Haram bomb, or that it was a pipe explosion without casualties.

VirginFinder:
Wow!
Is Revd Father Mbaka is Yorouba?
Is Bishop Mike Okonkwo Yoruba?
Are Ngige, Amaechi and Okorocha Yoruba?
Is Barrister Ubani Yoruba?

Come on, you ibos should stop being bitter and face reality.

Rev. Mbaka is like Bishop Milingo, forget him. Rev. Okonkwo? And who is that one? Never heard of that one b4.

Ngige? Now a loser.
Okorocha would have been licking his wounds after APC primary, if not that he came back to Government House Owerri.

VirginFinder:
Ode!
Yet ibos are wailing and earnestly wishing for those 'crumbs'.

.


Why not?

In a country where because of desire to stop Igbo and Ijaw,. a whole Yoruba Catholic Church Cardinal, Catholic Bishops, Nobel laureate, Retired military generals all campaigned for a Buhari who is barely literate to become presidential of Nigeria.


Igbo was right in its rejection of Buhari as president of Nigeria, as well as wailing.

Abi have you ever seen a country where the elites opted for a barely-educated man to lead?
