Lucrative to who? From experience, it is to theperson and his family. Why do we make so much fuss about such things? As far as i am concerned, in Nigeria, there are only two factions- the well privileged few and the inconsequential public

Ride on great heroes. Obara dike no n'ime anyi. When will Owere get a visitation, please?

FREEDOM4BIAFRA:
Thank you Nigerians, when you said Biafra s were few, I joined my people,
When you said we were screaming from abroad, I headed back.
When you said we were online, we came offline.
You said we can't move muscles, we ruled the streets...

Give us another challenge, motivate us and watch us surprise you!

EasternLion:
Thank you sir.

Don't mind that olodo. He will not mind his own frustration. Whether they call us fools, idiots or whatever, they cannot stop an idea whose time has come. Biafra is coming!!! All hail the land of the rising sun!

if they did not include Imo state, they are blind. If, on the other hand, any other state is better governed than Imo, their governor must be Satan himself or his worst apprentice

BECAUSE THERE IS NO NATION. NIGERIA IS A FACADE

This is an SOS from Imo state. I wish to use this medium to appeal to the president of the federal republic of Nigeria to step in and save Imo people from imminent starvation. It is on record that Imo state is one of the states that received bail out fund for the purpose of paying off all debts owed workers and pensioners. The governor selected some people and paid them after slashing their salaries. He then chose not to pay all staff of parastatals, all health staff of all 27 local government areas, all staff of Health management board, all staff of IMSUTH specialist hospital, etc. Please, Imo state needs URGENT RESCUE now! THE SITUATION IS TERRIBLY HORRIBLE. Please, Your Excellency, come over to Imo state and help us as soon as possible.

My dear, don't shut up. Speak the truth and shame the devils that want Imo state to become a ghost land.

One Community, One Scam.

I fear that this fat, greedy buffoon might just end up ravaging this state beyond repair if left unchecked.
Only the gullible still believe this crook's scams, and I'm glad many have woken up.

Has Mr. Okorocha been able to complete ANY of those phantom 27 general hospitals which he flagged off, pocketed the billions and left as abandoned projects crawling with weeds, dungbeetles and BILLBOARDS bearing his ugly face?

Has Mr. Okorocha been able to pay the 10 month backlog of salaries he owes the starving members of his "Youth Must Work" scam? Has he finally scrapped that failed program or is he still basking in his communist idiocy?

Has Mr. Okorocha been able to explain to the people of Imo the economic importance of the numerous NONSENSICAL statues that now litter the state, starting with that hideous, towering "Akachi" white elephant?

Has Mr. Okorocha been able to complete ANY of the numerous "City gates" he started building since 2011, which now look like erect peniises sticking out from the ground?

What factory is he building? The same buffoon who can't pay salaries?
What factory is he building? The same man who killed off Concord Hotelsjust so his own personal hotel (Lamonde Hotel) would rise without competition?
What factory is he building? The same man who converted a public plot of land at MCC road to his own personal piece so his daughter would build her boutique (House of Freeda) on the plot using state funds?

I just dey look this mooroon!

The kernel of the crisis rocking Imo state to day is not that Okorocha has refused to pay civil servants, pensioners, contractors, his hired volunteers(youth must work, uniformed vigilante groups, Imo security network and so on) their due for many months. The crux of the matter is that Imo state has been run aground by a mega greedy, clueless, and visionless emperor.

We saw it coming and cried out but some people were hell-bent on foisting him on Imo people by propagating his many lies and facades as credible achievements. I will like to see Abagworo, Berem and their cohorts defend their master's mindless looting of the state's treasury to the point that nothing works anymore.

why do we keep waiting to celebrate new ones from the same people? We are just being used. why can't we ever produce something they will clamour for?

you cannot sweep traditional healing under the carpet. It is also spiritual, safe and effective. Just pick your healer carefully.

And Okorocha is busy planning how best to punish Imo people for being so gullible that they allowed him to be a second term governor. In Imo state today, it is weeping galore and nothing positive is happening.

Radio Biafra is an indication that one Nigeria is fake. Nigeria should stop living in denial.

Why do you think one Nigeria is sacrosanct? Whatis so special about a country that no one loves or cares for? Can't you see the signs everywhere? We hate each other and celebrate the misfortunes of others not of our tribes. Where is the binding cord? Please FACE THE FACT. WE SHOULD START THINKING SERIOUSLY OF PARTING IN PEACE

One Nigeria we need

Four renowned traditional rulers in Imo state have been suspended by the state government for welcoming president Jonathan dring his campaign visit to Imo State. They include Eze Njemanze, traditional ruler of Owerenchiise, Eze Oguguo of Ezinihittte Mbaise, Eze Okoro and Eze Admond Njoku.

Yesooooo! Let it come; the hope of the black continent.

My dear poster, you sound like one who can turn the nation around if given the opportunity. Well said

I don't think you are in Imo, else you wouldnt say that. Please tell him to pay all the workers, contractors and pensioners he is owing abegooo.

ujoatu:
Pl Owelle is not owing Imo workers sir. Stop spreading propaganda

An erudite scholar and historian once told me that Nigeria was created to fail. As i reflect on current issues , i tend to believe this assertion. Our biggest problem is not corruption but tribalism. It is a problem that has no solution, mainly because our leaders have not yet found the courage to review the status of the mighty problem called Nigeria bequeathed to them.
You cannot cure tribalism because it is not a disease. It is an expression of natural affinity to one's roots. It is a great virtue to love one's people and one that should be encouraged. Unfortunately, for Nigeria to survive and thrive, tribalism has to go. There lies our problem. The typical Yoruba man can never accept the Igbo man as his brother. The Igbo must see the Hausa as his problem. The same applies to every other tribe.
When people steal public funds, they are protected by their own tribesmen, so they don't get to pay for their crimes.

Niger Delta insurgency has started again because there is a change of leadership that they are not comfortable with. When will this vicious circle end?
Why can't we tell ourselves the truth? This country is not working as it is. We must do the right thing which is to run a true confederation or split peacefully and enjoy true indepence and self determination.

Enugu Electricity Distribution Company is a colossal failure; a cesspit of incompetence, corruption and insensitivity. I wonder what the whole idea of privatization is. I am curious about other parts of the countrry. Do they enjoy a better deal than the South East?

Oratory is not just about saying whatever comes to mind without thinking. Yes, he knows how to tell people what they want to hear but he is going down in history as the maximum ruler(dictator) that committed the greatest number of blunders in the history of modern civilization. He is an apology and i pity any society where such a clueless man is leader.

Thanks, my dear. cheers

Must we know how to speak English? How many English people know how to speak Igbo, Yorubah, Hausa, Efik and so on? You should be worried when you see an Igbo person who cannot read, write or speak Igbo. Abeg stop this false and needless alarm

Yes, the poster got it right. I'm sure by tomorrow the papers will carry the details. Rochas is a disgrace to governance. Tufiakwa!!!

tswitch:
In as much as I don't like Rochas or his political party......the onus falls on you OP to provide a credible source to this information as this act alone will cause the APC to lose needed votes in the SE.


*Buhari will still lose this election as usual anyway.

sam onwuemeodo doing what he knows best-twisting tales for a living. One day na one day,our sun shall rise and all these oppressors will be swept out with their own broom.

Striking. They are all women. Anyway, in our villages here, we have people that these five should be calling deede(mark opf respect for elders), only that we did not have literacy by that time as to document their birth.

The North is cursed with bad leadership. They have been in power more than any other zone and yet they remain the poorest and most confused. Why couldn't one of their leaders ensure that one or more of these minerals were fully explored to enhance the living standards of the ordinary man? Even if they do so today, we know what will happen. A few Alhajis will corner the wealth and others will gladly line up to eat breakfast in their houses. The northern people need to wake up and reject the system that pauperizes them and makes them content to wait for heaven before they can enjoy the good life.

Yes, meaning they are not campaigning as seriously as the incumbent and the pdp flag bearer.

asha80:
meaning you do not feel they are strong enough?

Their ticket(iheanacho and Iyke ibe) is the most credible we have seen in Imo so far. We call them the captain and the compass. I wish they will be as strong as they are credible in the campaigns.

President Jonathan should not take the trophy for cluelessness in governance. Rochas Okorocha should. At least the president has got some systems working, and that is no mean feat. The agricultural reforms, the revamping of rail transport, some youth empowerment initiatives that have been sustained are some proofs that he has a vision and a road map, even though it is not adequate.

To get a true picture of cluelessness in governance, one needs to come to Imo state, the grand theatre of the absurd where the chief executive builds structures that he has no idea what they will be used for. ICAPS Egbu Road, Parliamentary quarters opposite Concorde Hotels, street gates in new Owerri are just a few examples.

Cluelessness is when a man destroys the local government system and introduces a community government council that is dead on arrival.
Cluelessness is when a governor does not know the importance of circulars in the day to day running o government business, preferring to issue oral directives in all dealings with workers, including contracts.

Cluelessness is when a governor majors on the minor and relies of empty slogans to make up for his ineptitude. I kuona nkwu , health at your doorstep and other such jargons remain slogans till today.

Cluelessness is when a governor shuns protocol and due process and boasts about things he should be ashamed of.

True cluelessness resides in Douglas House, Owerri, not Aso Rock.
