They didn't display any hatred but they displayed real madness due to the level of hatred they have for APC based on the fact that they believe APC is a party being created by Yoruba and the Hausa,and this same party deprived their own corrupt man from being re-elected as the president,but one thing seems not clear to them,and that is the fact that reasonable Nigerians desire great change and that is why their candidate who came into power as a result of luck got defeated by the peoples' choice.Reasonable Nigerian who has no interest in pulling this nation down due to his own selfish interest of creating one God forsaken Biafra will do everythg to protect Nigeria that is blessed with great resources.

Hmmmm....finally ,an igbo-man to vote for after Buhari in 2019 or 2023.
This is one igboman i respect because he has allowed bygone be bygone concerning the civil war ; his motives are based on rational principles & not on base ethnic recidivist principles ! I hope the rest of Ndi -Igbo will learn from him as we build a united Nigeria. Kudos to the Imo people .

uchebest2006:
Let his second tenure favour us.....!!!

IdiAmin1:
We all know that just as Rochas/Ngige were used to get SE, Amaechi was used to get SS. Peterside was just a child of circumstance. The election in Rivers was a WAEC examination for Amaechi and he got F9. Simple

Femolacaster:
Congrat to owelle okorocha.... I think this man has more GRASSROOT support than ONLINE support, because the way some igbos on nairaland display their hatred for him is disgusting except for few people like Berem and Abagworo.
Okorocha, carry on, i know your enemies will die of heart attack today because of your victory at the poll.
CONGRAT, "AWAITING PRESIDENT"!

IdiAmin1:
And why will everybody I mean who-is-who in R/S be against one man? He needs to re-check himself. He can't be right while all these people you mentioned are wrong. We all knew Jesus would be cricified and HE himself knew yet HE said woe unto the man that would be used for that purpose. Amaechi is now like an outcast in R/S. If your surname is Amaechi, you better do the needful now to avoid mob attack someday

LasgidyPort:
Congrats to Rochas/APC.

Rochas pls consolidate on your achievements, and ensure u carry your people along. If u re able to this, then greater responsibility awaits u in Nigeria.

May God help u and give u the wisdom to be a very good leader.

Also, pls tell some of your people to forget the ills of the civil war and some alleged marginalisation in times past and move ahead in forgiveness. That they should join hands with other tribes in moving Nigeria forward, it will be to the benefit of everyone eventually.

Best wishes and regards

chernest2002:
Rochas Judas okorocha is back,he have rigged his way back to government house,imo will remain stagnant for the next four years

IdiAmin1:
If it's true, then congrats to Rochas. It's not easy winning any election with APC in SE let alone governorship. Amaechi should immediately relocate to owerri for a tutorial on election 101. Mr talk talk that couldn't even win common VILLAGE president with APC in PH

dutchjongen:
Are you all aware Obasanjo sacked Okorocha for corruption.I will try to find the article,we love to praise thieves in this country and he was indicted by the Senate for abandoning a road contract over a hundred million naira.
Here is an excerpt from Wikileaks
-The head of the National Airport Management Authority (NAMA), Rochas Okorocha, was caught and dismissed for embezzling about $1 million through an inflated contract; Obasanjo then appointed him as a senior aide, without requiring Okorocha to repay the stolen funds. Okorocha was
eventually fired on July 13 in a cabinet reshuffle, but went on to start a political party for his renewed presidential ambitions.

dutchjongen:
How many times will I explain to you I don't support PDP.I hate corrupt politicians in APC,PDP and APGA and will expose their past corruption cases like Okorocha. I am very well versed in Nigerians key political actors and their history.If you see my other posts I've also exposed Tinubu and OBJ. I hate corrupt politicians and try to expose them.

U are still not making sense on this matter.

So much that APC Rat called Okorocha won? Imo people are failing my hand. Okorocha was the last APC stooge in the South east and Im thoroughly disappointed that he is still there. SS/SE are not part of this APC nonsense. It far better to keep our dignity in opposition than to part of this Buhari-personality-cult-worship class called APC. As for Okorocha, he will later found be out that the Hausa/Yoruba organisation called APC will never give an Igbo organisation called APC will never give an Igbo man the presidential ticket,not to in a million years. So whatever presidential aspirations he has is already dead. Oh well,if the people of Imo want Okorocha,they can have him. Outside Imo state, Okorocha is a nobody.

The Truth

Point of correction, tell them to tell themselves - Igbos to pick up some well written and detailed Nigeria history books written by unbiased foreign Journalists and read thoroughly instead of picking bigoted self acclaimed historian like- Chinua Achebe who wrote junks with undiluted and profound sentiment.

(It's shameful to see an Icon/well respected elderly person among today's youth who had chosen to tour the path of bigotry, tribal lies and deceit - Chinua Achebe). Apart from that books, tell me one single thing, he is known for outside Igbo land? Absolutely nothing.


Just before I go, permit to chip this in, if there were ills of civil war that need to be forgotten, please, place that request at the door steps of Nigeria soldiers and civilians who were mercilessly killed by Biafra soldiers and of course the family of Northern, Western and Middle belt leaders who were butchered by Igbo military officers just before the civil war.

Finally, appeal to Igbos from now till Kingdom comes, Northerners will never forgive them and it's obvious in their reaction whenever they start their madness in the North. You know why, Igbos are loud and equally have access to d media with which they used to scream blue murder at any slightest fight but which Northerners don't. The Northerners are hurt as much as Igbos are hurt but as long as you all think that Igbos are the ones that need to be appealed to simply cos they know how to shout, Nigeria ll never know peace.

South West seems more socially and civilly advanced when it comes to issue like this unlike the other two regions. Igbos killed their own leaders in the coup too but they chose to forget it, accommodate the same people in their land without any attack and pretend as if nothing happen; good for them. Na them Sabiii!!!

However, the reprisal attack by Hausass/Fulanis/Kanuris on Igbos which led to pogrom was inhuman and barbaric. The killing of Northern, Western and Middle belt leaders and their wives by Igbo military officers was absolutely unacceptable and barbaric on its own. With this on the negotiating table at all time, everybody will have sense of belonging and be happy.
Always remember that to every action, there must be a reaction. And there 200% possibility that reaction to action could be much more brutal than action. Stay clear from any unnecessary action that might trigger another man reaction.

God bless Nigeria.

Peace out.

I would have been surprised if Rochas Okorocha didn't win this election, the man has one thing going for him his education policy. Rochas has strong die hard supporters in Imo state who benefit enormously from his free education policy especially to the tertiary level, that feat is unheard of anywhere in this country, he got people like my uncles hooked on his cool aid through that one singular move.

Yes Rochas is cunning and an actor, a pretender and all but you can not deny the fact that he is a way better performer than any of the PDP hotheads, Emeka Ihiedioha obviously is your typical Nigerian politician, Imo would have suffered heavily under his leadership. As much as I am weary of the APC, I am still willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, Rochas is still the man to beat in Imo state, he has strong grassroots support, he is charismatic and knows how to get everyone involved in his government.

Only a lier will deny the man's effort and achievement in Imo state, the last time Imo state had the level of developmental projects this government is engaged in was during Sam Mbakwe's time. The rest have been mediocre lots, from Undenwa to Ohakim.

And by the way, Rochas is a way better Politician than Amaechi. Amaechi just does not know how to choose his battles and cares too much about his own interests than everyone else's. It was so obvious that Rivers state can not and will not go the Amaechi way, he is still a toddler in Rivers state politics and is yet to learn that he can not win people over by being too openly confrontational to people who had once helped you to get to power. Even the likes of Tinubu and Buhari will make sure they keep him at bay, he is more of a rabble rouser and a rebel than a sleek politician that can add anything to the people.

While Rochas was busy testing the waters with his APC experiment, he made sure he didn't lose the touch of the people and his grip on the local politics of his state, he made sure that imolites did not get the wrong message that he had abandoned the state to follow Buhari and Tinubu about like a lost puppy. Amaechi got it all wrong in his case, his open confrontations with the President's wife, Wike who was very instrumental in both his reelection and his court won gubernatorial position from Omehia. He made sure he alienated everyone and even ordinary Rivers people, the result was the massive no they gave at both polls. It is unfortunate that election was destroyed for Peterside by Amaechi, not that he stood any chance against Wike anyway but he let Amaechi overtake his opportunities and brought all the baggage he has with him.

dutchjongen:
I don't support Ihedioha in any form,the only clean politician to me is Buhari the rest are massive thieves. None of them can account for how they acquired their wealth. They have fed from the public till through inflating contracts and abandoning contracts after being paid full mobilization
