Owerri—Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has unveiled the next step of his government in banning street trading in the state, saying that henceforth, seized items from anyone trading along the streets will be used to take care of prisons inmates of the state. Okorocha revealed this yesterday in Owerri, in a release he issued to newsmen through his Chief Press Secretary, CPS, Mr Sam Onwuemeodo. According to the release, the delay in enforcing the street-trading ban was just to demonstrate the meekness of his government, saying no further warning should be expected to that effect but that actions will ensure that the streets are kept clean. “So, those involved in street trading should go to relief market or Egbada market to have shops to avoid regretting because when government begins to enforce the directive, goods or wares seized from those selling on the streets will be donated to the prisons and motherless babies homes.” The release also stated that, the government has not declined in its proposed plan on the issue of markets in the state, adding that the next thing would be to take action.

DaniDani:
This is highly commendable. Any person condemning this bold step is an enemy of good things. If you read how Nigeria evolved, you will appreciate the relentless efforts of Nigerian students who were the neck of the then leaders. The docility of our youths is the reason why the present satanic leaders are taking us for a ride

But lalasticlala should have done justice to the students that engaged in the protest.

Lalasticlala pls move this to FP... The road is snaky in nature

we are suffering on this road everyday, we need help.

Vicboi1:
i challenge u to post a single road in imo state without a pot hole in it

U are right brother. There's hardly any good motorable road in Owerri and imo state in general. We voted rochas thinking that he can turn things around but he failed like ohakim. This is our experience.

lalasticlala, we need help

we are still matching down

lalasticlala, please we need government attention

Students protest over bad road.....

Meanwhile, the students of the Federal Polytechnic Nekede, Owerri, FEDPONEK, and Federal University of Technology Owerri, FUTO, have described the state government as being insensitive to their plights. The students numbering over 900, marched from their various institutions to the state capital, demanding that the government should come and make their roads motorable. They also displayed their placards which read,

'We are dying here,' 'Where is the Rescue Mission?' 'Are these institutions not in Imo State, we are tired of promises,' 'Come and repair our roads,' among others.

Speaking to Vanguard, the Presidents of the Students' Union Government, SUG, of FEDPONEK and FUTO, Comrades Ike Emmanuel and Ezenwa Obinna, respectively said that they would continue the protest until their demands were not only given attention
but also solved.

The new face of Owerri under okorocha

Okorocha should not be allowed to go until he fix imo state

tit:
even the dead have rejected rochas!
Imo!
you see yoursef?

We want him to come back repair what he destroyed

Abagworo:
The most gullible people in believing nonexistent things are Africans. Nothing like ghost exists.

On the other hand I do wonder what Rochas Okorocha did to some Mbaise people that they keep wishing him death. Ihedioha lost not because of Okorocha but because he made the election seem like Mbaise vs rest of Imo making even Owerri people angrily vote for Rochas instead of Ihedioha. 2ndly PDP cheated Ararume making his followers turn their back on PDP. Ihedioha can never be Imo State Governor. Him and his supporters using the media to destroy the image of Imo State will only turn the rest of the State against their people.

You are always talking like a drunk. Below is the reason we want okorocha out of imo state
