[quote author=Okija_juju]You are right.. It's not to hoodwink him, its the fault of the bloody spam bot that keeps banning me for frivolous reasons.. However what has Rochas done for IMO state thus far rather than share free everything?[/quote]Ehe okwa asha ejidela ya gi, give kudos 2 whom its due and stop hiding behind aliases 2 give credence 2 ur posts. Rochas is working period!

OMG, what is goin on here, who started this e-war between 2 brothers? Pls sheath your swords! **stands between both groups** honestly, i dnt see why my kinsmen shud react this way, ofcourse we all knw dat T.A Orji is a tragedy dat happened 2 Abians. How many ppl hav come out openly 2 criticise him? We must nt veiw everytin 2ru tribal prism, Tinubu has d political locus standi(though lacks it morally) 2 condemn T.A. Instead of T.A 2 reply objectively, he tried 2 play smart by throwin up tribal sentiment and unfortunately we fell 4 it! T.A Orji is a dog dat shud be ostracised by all.

Esss: Go and re-read the comment to which you ade response... Seriously..




Can you sir, please outline these wonderful things that you scream of;

1. Sharing Kerosene in a Stadium

2. Free low-Quality Education to all Imo State citizens

3. Cheap low quality Univeristy Education to Imo State Citizens..

4. Spending over 100 million Naira to send 60 Imo State citizens on a 3months vacation c'um Exchange Program

5. Buying Corn on the road..

6. Paying minors 100 Naira a month 'minimum wage' to go to school..

7. Privatising Imo State Transport Company..


Please continue from where I stopped..

pls dont be mischivious, your 2,3 and 5 statements are hillarious, are u 4 real? What do u mean by cheap/low quality education? Pls criticize constructively, Rochas is barely a year in office and yet he is already building a university, has offered schorlarship schemes and mind u, Imo is an educationaly advanced state. Again what is wrong in buying corn @ d road side? Mind u he is not a demi god but human like u and i. Lastly, u said he privatised ITC and i ask again, what is wrong wit dat? Dont u knw dat gov has no business being in business because of mismanagement?

ebere1712: Okija_juju is not igbo. He only pretends to be, but I can smell him from here. He is a fake.

@POST, if rochas performs, he would get the votes to rule Nigeria. Wether detractors like it or not. It is a case of the corrupt and the incorruptible.

I dont give a damn which ever hell hole he escaped from, he can hide under that fettish psydonim 2 vituperate gibberish, but honest Nigerians like you n me can see his good deeds, that irresponsible dude adds credence 2 d statement dat people deserve the kind of gov they have!

jenny b: altho rochas has no doubt been working very hard to realise his ambition of been a president but sincerely he is just on a wild goose chase!

says who?

[quote author=Okija_juju]This person is yet to achieve any tangible thing in Imo State.. So far, 85% of the roads he has tarred are without drainage.. All we hear are Free Kerosene, Free Education... Nothing about improving the educational Facilities, Nothing about sustainable development.. No one achievement in Healthcare.. All he does is dash out Imo State money like Peter Odili of Rivers State did.. Nigerian Politics has left the level where Rochas is right now which is free, free, free...

This man will never be president of Nigeria.. That his 100,000 liters Barge of a wife will never be First Lady.. I Alusi Okija Said it..

If its not Sullivan Chime, then its Governor Peter Obi... Rochas should keep dreaming, unfortunately he is not Joseph!![/quote]What the hell is wrong wit u! Anyone who reads your gibberish will know that you are frustrated. Why are you so bitter, are you among those 10,000 idle hands Ohakim employed to siphon Imo state money? Pls criticize constructively if u must comment, Peter 0bi and Chime are not in the same class wit Rochas. What Rochas has done in these few months eclipses what 0bi did in his 2 terms! OMG, imagine Peter Obi as president! I laugh in Igbira. Ofcourse you cant compare light and darkness. Good-day.

Temistatics 007: If up to 70% of imo citizens don't like him,he should not embark on this 'dream' cos of internal enemy.

That your statistic is undiluted fallacy fabricated from d pit of hell, majority of Imo ppl would die for Rochas if need be, hav u 4gotten so soon what happened during his election? Ohakim in conivance wit PDP tried all they could to rig d election but Imo ppl resisted vehemently, even @ d risk of dea lives! BTW no matter how good u are, som ppl wil stil hate u 4 no reason, Obama is a good example.

Paul John: Yeah, exactly my point. But you think he remaining in that his party called APGA will get him the precedency!? That a big joke and we all know that. Better find a better clique to join.

Read between the line and u'll understand why he wants 2 reposition APGA 2 be a national party rather than a regional one. Do u knw why the chairman and some members were suspended by the NEC? He does not need 2 join PDP in order 2 actualise his ambition, all he need 2 do is 2 continue d good work he is doin in Imo and when the time is right, APGA would align wit other progressive parties like ACN.

maryjames9: This guy should forget presidency in 2015 and focus on an all-round improvement and development of his state. I only hear of his exploits in the education sector. What of roads,jobs creation,worker's working condition? Work on your state and leave PEOPLES DESTRUCTIVE PARTY and ACN/CPC Alliance to fight for 2015 presidency.You got leadership quality though so do GEJ.We dont need a good leader but fearless one unlike Mr dummy GEJ

My dear Mary, its not only in the educational sector that he has done exceptionally well, Rochas has touched every facet of life of Imo people, above all, Rochas is not lilly livered like GEJ. The just shall live by faith!

This is a welcom dev, but its not yet uhuru. The combination of these factors stil makes Truvada unattractive i.e prohibitive cost, exclusive to HIV, infection rate of 3:7, unwanted pregnancy, veneral diseases, etc ABSTINENCE/USE OF CONDOM IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED but if u must do skin 2 skin, then marry a wife and stay faithful 2 your partner!

The economy of Niger republic must be smaller than that of Niger state, imagine; this country built a mini refinery of 20,000 bpd and out of it uses only 7,000 bpd while the rest is exported! No wonder they hav 24/7 power with no tangible hydro or thermal resources.

Its not just about reeling out companies have you been to onitsha? Aba is mostly known for making clothes and shoes. Onistha is more industrial and commercial[/quote]U seem 2 be sentimentaly biased, mind u i luv both cities and conversant wif both, because they capture d industrious n 'can do spirit' of the Igbo-man but truth be told, Onitsha is more commercialised while Aba is more industrialised. Pls can u reel out the industries in Osha that can rival d ones in Aba because i like facts.

What is goin on in this bastardised country? I was in Lokoja and u would'nt believe the level of palpable fear and aprehension that hung in the air because TB Joshua said that a very bad incident will occur in Kogi on 15 july, i promptly discarded d rumour but lo n behold as i was travelin 2 d east on sunday 15 july, as we were passin 2ru Okene, we encountered heavy traffic gridlock wit soldiers n civil defense patrolin, on inquiry, we were told of a bomb blast! The way dis bombin train is movin is faily predictable nw, ANY TOWN/STATE WIT PREDOMINANT MOSLEM POPULATION IN THE SOUTH IS PRONE TO ATTACK, SW states and Auchi area of Edo state shud employ intelligence gatherin n oda proactive measures, but SE and SS states are relatively safer because BH wil find it dificult 2 b camouflaged in d christian zones.

[quote author=Mr. Globe]I tire for this bias thread oh. Why is onitsha conspicuously missing here? Its onitsha and others. Aba is commercial but not even industrialized as nnewi. Onitsha is both industrialized and commercial. Onitsha takes all the cake. meanwhile you guys should continue naming dead villages here (especially the sweet people) and continue turning the thread to a joke it has become. ogbomosho indeed[/quote]Aba is the most industrialised non state capital in Nigeria, it has both large, medium and small scale industries scattered across d city, they include; Nigeria breweries, dubic brewery, unilever plc, International glass industries, International equitable association, valeumbra floor mills, starline industries, Udeagbala holdings, 7up plant, Tonimas lube plant, many large vegetable oil industries, paper mills and many others i cant mention here because of space( all of d above are stil function'n and employs above 500 direct workers) and thousands of SME's scattered all over d city. Aba is in a class of its own whn it comes to non state capital and only comes behind Lagos n Kano generally.

[quote author=Okija_juju]One great man from Omoku Professor Claude Ake .. Chief Victor Masi former minister of finance... Amongst others... If the oil runs out, they have a shit load of oil.. The Obite gas project is a multi billion dollar investment and one of a kind in Nigeria.. They are a great tribe, that's not in dispute... A great small town, also not in dispute.. However, if this is indeed a law, them I am unaware of it and must say is very disturbing.. Investment opportunities in Omoku are endless and such a law would only hurt them as the Igbos are very industrious[/quote]those names you mentioned dont ring a bell, dea are hundreds of profs in Mbaise not 2 talk of Imo state, so what made his unique? I dont even understand u, Arusi Okija, u seem 2 be supporting these ignorant nonentities!

Abagworo: The problem Igbos have and will always have is the difference in ideology between North, South and South-South. The North is conservative while the South is liberal. The South South is proud because of earlier interaction with Europeans but seem to intermarry and coexist peacefully with South .While the North does not see any fraternity with the SS, the South has obvious fraternity with them.

Your postulation is hazy. I cud'nt grasp ur point!

brokoto: first of all, i want to say that i was invited into this post by Afam4eva. secondly, i'm from Omoku town and what the poster posted is true. unfortunate but true. i donot know how the tradition came about but i have known from childhood that the Omoku people do not sell lands to the Igbos. in response to Onenaira, if you are from Delta State, we would not count you as an Igbo man. so Chinenye is Right in that aspect.
although, the Igbos are getting wiser now by marrying Omoku wives and buying properties in their wife's name which to me is good. now dont you guys think its quite a foolish, outdated tradition? you cannot sell them lands but you can allow them marry your daughters. . .
anyway, from what my Late Mom told me, we originated from Benin and there is this distrust we have for Igbos and we are scared of them overrunning us in our land. i hope i have not insulted anybody with this. onenaira, now you have your proof!

This stupid village called Ogba or is it Omoko, whateva, must be filled wit non-entities, imagine such stupid logic dat they are afraid the Igbos will overrun them, yet they still marry each since centuries ago! Then d most ridiculous of all, he said dat Igbos will marry their women in order 2 hav d priviledge 2 buy dea land! Who the hell are these zombies? Peeps that ordinarily shud see themselves priviledged 2 be called Igbos, in which sphere of life hav they excelled either individualy or collectively, what resources do they hav? Oil and gas right? Then are they diff from the ones found in Abia, Imo, Delta etc? Igbos shud place an embargo on dis folks if need be, i for one wud never hav anything 2 do wit them if i find out dat dis jargon is fact. Arant nonsense!

honeric01: How much do you think a gala hawker makes in a day? their profit on each gala is 10 naira and they can only sell between 50-200 pieces in a very thick bumper to bumper hold on.. when there's no hold-up, no sales so tell me, how much is he going to make on an average day?

Same with freelance referrer.. they get 50 naira,100 naira as tip, but how often do they get these? and how much do you think they make in a day? you believe this is employment?

U hav no point my broda because even if they sell only 100 pieces @ 10 naira gain each that wud amount 2 1000 naira daily, which is stil more than d minimum wage!

The minister is merely stating d obvious, evry1 knws dat Anambra in particular and southeast in general have comparatively low unemployment rate. It is not rocket science 2 deduce dis apparent reality. Anambra n Imo hav d highest literacy rate in Nigeria and yet they equally control the informal sector of Nigeria, from Lagos 2 Calabar,Sokoto 2 Maiduguiri. If Anambra divests from oda states, d economies of some of them wud collapse!

I want 2 use dis opportunity 2 admonish evry Igboman 2 STOP INVESTING OUTSIDE IGBOLAND, u can do ur business anywhere in Nigeria or beyond but when it comes 2 erecting physical structures i.e houses and industries, PLS, PLS AND PLS build it in ALAIGBO because nobody knws 2moro. To me i see it as being foolhardy when i see our folks investing heavily in d north n oda places. Som ppl give excuses of economies of scale/profitability n oda jargons but d reality is dat d east has d advantage over oda places in Nigeria except perhaps Lagos, any factory/industry or business established in places like Aba,Onitsha or Nnewi will easily b distributed across Nigeria because of dea large markets. I felt like crying whn i saw what Igbos built at ASPAMDA n oda places in Lagos, not 2 talk of d ones up north. Biko nu umu nnem na umu nnam, onye aghala nwanne ya, ka aku anyi ruo ulo, onye ajuru aju anaghi aju onwe ya. Ekwuola mu nkem!

[quote author=xprt.ngnr]Nd wat does dat need 2 do with how economy statures?or d boko nd corruption in dis country misplaced priority sha!!!!!!!!![/quote]NO NO NO, i beg 2 disagree, dis has a lot of implication 4 our economy, put on ur think'n cap n reason!

In as much as i am not disputing d ingenuity, resilience n sagacity of Igbo businessmen, who more or less have d same attitude with d Chinks and d Lebanese whn it comes 2 business, i still do nt think its right 2 give all these foreign malls unfetered access 2 d Nigerian market. D question is what do Nigeria stand 2 gain? Apart from erecting dea building, employ'n few locals n paying som pittance as tax, what else? But these smart alecs wud definetly repatriate dea profit home, import dea goods, render thousands of locals jobless n thereby improvise d masses! I'm beginning 2 doubt d economic eficacy of Okonjo Iweala, it seems she is just pandering 2 d whims of d imperialists! Ghana is busy protecting local businesses yet we r here destroyin ours! WTF is wrong wit us, r we beasts of no nation?

Some ppl are just makin uninformed guesses here, but as a bonafide citizen of Nigeria who has traversed d nation, here is d authentic list devoid of sentiment, d best 10 in dea order of importance.
Abuja
Lagos
Enugu
Porth-Harcourt
Owerri
Calabar
Uyo
Benin
Akure
Asaba

Forza p: What is enugu?never heard of it b4 oo

thats simply because u r a stark illiterate who did nt attend d most basic of skul/education, otherwise u wud hav been taught about states n dea capitals.

ROSSIKE: What valid points has he made? If youths are unemployed as he claims why doesn't he go and start a business in Enugu and employ a couple of youths? It's not government's job anywhere in the world to ''employ youths''. That's the job of private business people. It's even nonsense to claim that ''youths are unemployed''. All those buildings and roads being built there, is it old men from the village that are involved in their construction? A construction boom such as is clearly evident there means there are jobs for those who want to work.

pls forget d detractors, som ppl r pessimists by nature, they criticise destructively without providing solutions.

[quote author=one.east]My friend you are not more enugu state citizen than myself. But I just tell you Anambra is well ahead of Enugu state. You can travel from Anambra north pole to the south pole without any road hitch, but can you do the same in Enugu state? You can't even travel from 9th mile to Nsukka without meeting your waterloo. I will always say the truth the way it is. They have got the human capital, they have got the natural resources, they have got the rural areas connected to each other. I mean development goes beyond what you see in enugu urban. Have you asked yourself why a place like Nsukka has not developed beyond being a university village? We need to open our eyes and see through the big scam by Sullivan. He has not created wealth nor attracted one single investment to employ the youths. Instead our youths are running to Abuja, Lagos, PH, Onitsha and so on just to make a living. And some fools are online praising Enugu this enugu that.[/quote]whats your point? PLS DO NOT DERAIL THIS BEAUTIFUL THREAD!
