shocked
Rochas just like Amechi and Onu (R.I.P) are some of the upright people that disassociated themselves from a government full of thugs and criminals like Wike, Ribadu and co
Wow!!! When I saw Amechi, I immediately concluded that your comment must be a joke and should have been a post in the joke section.

Until, we are sincere in Nigeria before Nigeria will ever make any meaningful progress

Nigerians react as former president Obasanjo removes cap for Rochas Okorocha

Nigerians have reacted to a viral video of a former President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, H.E Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, saying he doff his hat for Former Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha.

Obasanjo, while speaking at a birthday event of Rochas Okorocha expressed total appreciation for several humanitarian activities that Okorocha has been doing especially in the educational sector.

But some Nigerians took to their social media account to comment on the viral video.

Lol. Your thinking is always pathetic..

Okay, kindly tell us what made you believe no politician has ever built a political bridge than Kalu..


No politician has done more charity in the North than rochas ... I dare you to name one

I don’t know if this is true or not, but as for Rochas, it was actually your Ibo people that started reducing the guy politically. Rochas is one SE politician with northern and western appeal. Check all the threads here on nairaland when he was a governor, you’ll see your brothers as they’re always cursing him and how Rochas has destroyed imo… Why did they do all these? Simply cuz Rochas was in Apc. Your brothers no like you from home, how outsider wan take you highly serious?

The matter started going far for Rochas when he was trying to let his son-in-law replaced him. Imo Apc stakeholders disagreed and the rest is history..

There is only one politician that never changed party from 1999 that's ogbonna Onu... I dare you to name another

Haha. This is not true.

Tinubu never changed party
Buhari never changed party
Bisi akande never changed party
Late Ajimobi didn’t change party
Fayemi never change party
Fayose never change party
A lot more
Tinubu AD to AC
Buhari ANPP to CPC

I don’t know about the rest but I’m damn sure of those two mentioned above.

Tinubu was elected governor in 1999 and 2003 under AD. He formed AC in 2006 and jumped ship.

Buhari ran under ANPP in 1999, 2003 and 2007. He formed CPC and ran with CPC in 2011.

U hit the nail on the head... I just know one day sooner or later and Igbo man will be president. If a black man can rule the USA, definitely an Igbo man will rule Nigeria one day again.

South East turn in APC which is alliance of Buhari led far North and Tinubu led Southwest and you want Buhari who was made president by Tinubu to back Onu over Tinubu?

If you genuinely think that Buhari didn't want to handover to Tinubu, and that Tinubu simply outflanked everyone, then you are as naive as they come. No northerner will ever had over to anyone feom the south that they don't have some sort of agreement with. And if Buhari felt strongly against Tinubus presidency, he had so many options as to what to do. All these talks about Tinubu buying his way through or showcasing his "sophisticated strategy skills" are simply bunkum. Tales emanating from the Lagos ibadam express way mercenary press to cover up what really happened.

When it comes to impact in the Education sector, Obi can't even lace Rochas shoes. Man virtually built mega schools throughout the federation with free tuition. Nobody holds that kind of record presently in Nigeria. God bless Rochas Okorocha!

I lived in Jos in the 90s and at a point I thought Rochas was an Hausa man, he has been doing charity across North and South West long before he joined politics so he doesn't need to rub shoulders with anyone in Abuja because he was way bigger than many politicians.
Ibos don't celebrate Rochas enough because they don't know his value, he is respected in the North by all because they know what he done for the people, he is also respected in Ibadan where many has benefited from his free education for decades.
Listen to yourself. Lol. Imo should celebrate a statue builder that they trusted with their state to govern. grin People like you are the reasons you are poor. Lol. They didn't celebrate him, but made him a governor. Lol. Did you read my last post? Man dey give you peanuts to win your hearts to win elections and steal massively. Lol. Una heads never correct ooo. grin

Go and calculate the peanuts he used in his useless philanthropic work and compare them with the amount he used to build statues. grin And statues building is one of the cheapest projects he embarked on that did not bring any profit to the state he governed.

Dey play! Guy...you are just something else. cheesy Mehn. Dem go keep using your destiny free of charge for such "abrakatabra". You better wake up from your slumber cos you will die poor. Take back your destiny from "destiny users". Lol. He even replied me with boldness. I am sure you will reply again. See eh.

Man sef dey reason how to get people like you to use sef. Lol....You too useful guy....your destiny definitely is for the smart ones to use since you don't want to use your head. grin

He is way bigger than many politicians yet he lost his presidential bid. Just listen to yourself and he moved to the senate. Only Imos votes can elect him. Lol. Have you ever seen any big politician who govern his state and them move to the senate? Check all those who did it....like stepping down. This is one reason Uzo Kalu will not be the president...Oshiomole knows he can't win Nigeria. Lol. You finish as a governor, and you start eyeing the presidency. Period. You funny. Which popular? If you can still support Rochas and think he is a human after the way he handled Imo, your destiny is gone. grin

And who told you I am poor ?
Secondly I am not Ibo and I don't depends on charity or benefited directly from his charity works but you saying he spend peanuts for his philanthropy works shows either you are a kid born in 2000s or ignorance of who Rochas was before becoming a goveenor.

Common sense should also tell you that not everyone will rule Nigeria, many people including Atiku, Amechi, Osibanjo, Akande, MKO, Olu, Wike and many others failed in their bid ro rule Nigeria not just Rochas.

He failed his people as governor but that doesn't take away the fact that he is a good man and generous man, the first time I met him in Jos was 1992 and I was 18 years at the time. Those has benefited directly from his generosity will always appreciate him just as those of who has been aware of works from the 90s will.

You are over stretching it oga, try seeing things outside your Igbo box. Because you don't know something doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
David Mark has never changed political parties.
Uzor Kalu just rolls with whoever is in power. You call it bridge building.

Can you name all. Tinubu staunch loyalists? I guess not.
And I also believe you don't know those who are doing charity in the north.

The university which Okorocha built in his country home with Imo state govt funds is there.
The federal government should have acquired the university for a Federal university in Okorocha's senatorial district where no federal presence exists, as honour to Okorocha for introducing APC to his district.
So what's is the university being used for? What sort of students does it attract? Accredited by the NUC?

Senator Rochas Okorocha built a free secondary school infront of my house in Ibadan. No school fees, free 3 pairs of uniforms, free school bus and a free meal per day. Only the poor are allowed to enroll.
May God made him president soon in Jesus name.
