please can you state categorically what workers rochas is owing?

lalasticlala seun
Health workers for example.

Are you about to say he's not owing any workers?
I hope that's not your aim. Because there seems to be no lie impossible for political psychophants to tell in defense of their lord.

One sided development is no development...developing just owerri and orlu while from emekuku down to afor ogbe in mbaise is nothing to write home about. Thank God for federal govt wey just try do the road and all those banks wey manage come site for ekeahiara junction...we for hear am. Fancy government..

The road to Mbaise isn't bad other than its a single lane. I was in Mbaise recently and roads are not that bad in that axis. The major grouse against Okorocha in Mbaise is as a result of high unemployment and tendency of the people to depend on Government jobs as majority go further into tertiary education. Mbaise needs industries and the well travelled people should invest home to reduce unemployment amongst their teeming graduates.

Some people here have not crossed Onitsha let alone Imo. I don't hate Rochas but if this is what it takes to be a hard working governor, then Nigeria is in trouble. Owerri as a city is as small as an area in Lagos or other cities.

And note, some of these things are uncompleted, so shallow not that unique. I pray he does better things for his people and pay salaries promptly.

I was in Imo last two months and will soon visit. There's nothing unique, some of these Round Abouts have been there for decades.
God Bless Imo State. My wife is from Imo, no hate.

More Orlu.

Banking premises and a private school are also part of your paymaster's projects too? Why not show us the Road thru amaifeke to ihiala, or the old Owerri Road, or umuna towards eziachi, all your pictures are just one spot and all the buildings shown therein are private buildings, why not just keep mute, everyone in imo state can't be crying and pointing at one place and nothing is afoul about it. Remember imo was one of the first state that rejected PDP, that was even before APC chanji came, Rochas won an incumbent governor coming from nowhere, I mean from NOWHERE, some of us made serious sacrifices for that man to become governor, and you think same people would just turn against him for nothing? Even Rochas himself knows all is not well, all these paid media camouflage are part of a desperate effort to save face, there are many others, I can school you. The only reason anyone would have to say Rochas is doing well at the moment is if they're directly and unscrupulously benefiting from his government, are you??

Thats the blackmail I earlier wrote about. Have you enquired and learnt why health and assembly workers rejected their salaries since it was made even with other workers salary scale?

Are those places in Orlu town? Those are federal highways of which he is reconstructing 45 km federal highway from Owerri through Orlu. He cannot do all.

If na Anambra, the folks criticizing and lambasting this man and the wonderful things he's doing in Imo go praise Obiano taya, all because of politics and hatred when in fact it shouldn't be that way.

Development anywhere in that region should be nothing but a source of pride, but they are too combative, divided and divisive to support their own.

The level of communal hate and bitterness is off the charts..

Sometimes I just wonder

What are you wondering? If this is what it takes to be a good governor, then that's called crime to humanity.
I know you're saying this cos you have not been to Imo and Owerri precisely.

This is utter rubish. Most of these rubish are centered @ Alvan junction. That's where I will leave my village to come for tourism.
Have you been to Ajose Adeogun in VI, Lagos of recent?
Say what you know and leave the men issue for us who know where is where. No hate.

No other town that was like Orlu in 2012 has changed the way Okorocha made it. Thats the issue and not tourism. Oguta is the place for tourism and I will bring pictures from the carnival.

Incase you missed it, the topic is "" Okorocha Turning Imo To A Haven For Tourist & A Modern Model City (Pics)". Thus, the pictures should highlight why it is a place tourist would like to visit. From the pictures you posted, everyone can deduce
1. The Orlu is not a haven for tourists because nothing shown here will interest anyone to visit.
2. The only place worth visiting in Imo State is the Road to the Government house as confirmed by comments on this thread.

Take Calabar, the Obudu cattle ranch is not in the capital or on the road to the government house yet people love to visit there. There is also a wonderful waterfall also not in the capital. Both places have been developed by the government and don't need advertising.
The thread is taking about tourism not development.

There was nothing wrong with that road to start with, he jumped head-first into the white elephant project of dualizing it without taking all the variables into consideration, you've snapped the urban end of the road for us, what happens when he gets to Njaba and other sections of that road with gullies and hostile terrain? "A double lane road becomes single, becomes double and then becomes single again? Or haven't you traveled the entire length of that road to see the ridiculous caricature being done on it? Do you think the was that road is disfigured the state would be able to get refund from FG?? The mess imo state is in is quite deep, where do you hail from?

I still don't get you. No road is dualised all at once. Its gradual and takes time. The Njaba part of the road has been an erosion danger zone and has been gulping millions yearly for erosion checks but it does not mean the road should be left untouched.

That Road wasn't really in a bad state, it had no direct impact on the lives of imo people, dualizing it had no economic, social or whatsoever importance, do you know about the other federal Highway that spans through ideato to okwelle in onuimo leading to either Owerri or okigwe? That Road is sliced in halves by gullies at more than two points, that part of the state looks so desolate and lifeless, now if you were the governor of your family, would you abandon an impassable Road to dualize a good one? I don't need explain anything further than this point. This is just one of so many now abandoned Phantom projects that gulped the state's finances and put the government in a position where it's unable to pay salaries even upon being the state that collected the 3rd largest bail out fund. Have you thought about that for a minute, you guys are here braying about Christmas tree, you didn't answer my question, where are you from?

State of the Art Health Care System. I laugh in Swahili. Op i hope he paid u well for all this media campaign? May be, they promised you a job. Be fooling yourself. Everyone, this Ochedike clinic is Rochas personal business but I'm sure he built it with govt money. 27 general hospitals he said he will build in all the LGA is yet to completed. Not even one is functioning. Lets not talk of government hospital that one he turned to an eyesore since this rogue took over.

The thing is, I reside in Owerri unlike you. I have been to Oguta before and I know it's history and it's current state. In regards to development, the governor has tried but haven for tourists? That's stretching it.

Free Education at all levels. Free uniforms, locker, sandals, that he awarded himself the contract of supplying all these school stuff paid by govt money. He took some money from civil servants to pay for it. Since he won 2nd term, he said no more free education.

Before i forget, he awarded himself the contract to supply all those street lights @ 800k to 1m a street light.

His wife was awarded the contract of packing trash in the state until a year ago at a high price. The man is a rogue. A scam artist. He is the worst thing to happen to Imo. He plans to impose Uche his son in law as governor in 2019 but we shall resist it and kick APC out of Douglas house by God's grace.
