Lol this guy believes in his own hype, worst ever imo Governor.

What else did you expect from a son whose father is an embodiment of lie.

Youngadvocate:
The governor of Imo state, Rochas Okorocha has bragged over his achievement as the governor of Imo state for the second successive time, claiming that it would be impossible to have a governor that would match his achievement in Imo.

According to him, the inability of anyone to surpass his achievments may spell doom for his successor, who may be stoned by the people for not living up to his standards.

The governor’s ironic political stunt is coming at a time majority of the Imo people express strong disgust and outright detestation of the poor governance of the his administration especially in his second tenure.

Also, noteworthy are the complaints of the civil servants in the state who are owned over 6 months salary even after about 30% salary slashed was effected by the governor.

But according to Rochas Okorocha who spoke during an interview with State House Correspondents, at Abuja, yesterday, Friday, his administration had spoilt the people of Imo with infrastructural development which would be his huge legacy to the people after service as their governor.

Hear him: “I am in this job not for the profit of it but for the honour and glory of the job. So I want to leave a legacy. I want Imo people to miss me and they will definitely miss me. Believe you me they have not seen such developmental work before now and they will miss it.

“The only problem I have is that anybody that comes after me and does not perform will be stoned. Because you cannot come to Imo State now and say you want to abolish free education from primary to university, they will not accept. I have spoilt Imo people believe me.

“You cannot come to Imo State and say you want to give them a single lane road when they are now used to eight lane road in the city, they won’t accept it. You cannot come here and tell the children to go to schools where the floors are not tiled they will not accept because all the schools have been rebuilt. I have rebuilt 450 schools.”

Although most of the hospitals the administration started over three years ago were yet to be completed and have not taken off, the governor claimed that, “You can no longer take them to those ramshackle hospitals, those shanties they called hospitals because I have built 27 to 200 bed general hospitals. You can no longer tell them those stories. All the infrastructures are there.

“You cannot tell them that there are criminal activities any more and that your hands are tied they will not accept it because we know where we brought Imo from, from unsafe place to a safe place right now. And you can no longer tell our workers to dress shabbily they will not, they will want to dress in their suits and tie and white shirts. So Imo has changed believe me.”

Giving himself pass mark, he said, “I stand to be challenged and corrected by anybody that what we have done in Imo State in six years can be comparable to what any governor in that state living or dead has done.

“And if we put all of them together, I can’t say whether they can match what we have done. Have you seen me sounding boisterous? That is the truth. But the point is I don’t make media noise, I don’t make foundation laying stones Programme, I don’t bring women to dance because I want to lay foundation project. I don’t commission projects because for me it doesn’t make sense.

Gov. Okorocha,

Where are the monies budgeted for Okigwe and Orlu stadium?


Where are the monies budgeted for Prince and Princess Hotels Orlu and Okigwe respectively?

You think say Imo people shall be as foolish as the present government operatives who believe that Imo state begins and ends with Owerri, the state capital. After May 2019; python shall vomit what it swallowed.

You think say people in Orlu and Okigwe zones you hated and deliberately underdeveloped shall ignore to pick stones after 2019.

seguno2:
Please tell us by what % he has improved the ratio of students:teachers, students:classrooms, students:laboratories, students:libraries?
By what % has he increased coverage of the entire state with water provision? Ordinary tap water oh.
By what % has he increased the ratio of residents:hospital beds, residents:doctors, residents:nurses, residents:pharmacists, residents:laboratory technicians.
What was the UNEMPLOYMENT rate when he was sworn in? What is it now?
I hope that you can respond with credible sources to support this messiah whose successor will be stoned. What a comedian!

You can kindly open the floor by giving us those statistics for other states. I was referring to projects being executed, things people see and not some paper statistics.

Unimaginable123:
Or the fact that there are no motorable roads in imo state except owerri.

No more roads outside Owerri. Any body that goes into Orlu, for example shall spit on the face of this Okorocha.

Even roads built by previous governments here, Okorocha govt watched all of them gradually disappear.

........The governor’s ironic political stunt is coming at a time majority of the Imo people express strong disgust and outright detestation of the poor governance of the his administration especially in his second tenure......


I have nothing else to add to what the scam artist has said.

Cuche:
This APC guy self
I know Imo state in my finger tips, I will rather not engage you It is better Imo citizens take you on your assertions.



Rochas the Rochas.
I think the best legacy he will leave is to pay back completely the loans he took on behalf of Imo State's future. I don't know the repayment plans he has for that but Imolites should be grateful to Sanusi Lamido who promptly bared Rochas from planless and thoughtless indebtedness of Imo State. As for project, he was quite ambitious because he took more bites than he can chew. Frankly, those projects in totality are not a match to the achievements of Mr Sullivan Chime and Mr Obi/Ngige in the comparative terms.
Rochas second term projects will not also match the comparative terms of Willie Obiano and Dave Umahi. All these SE Governors I mentioned took minimal loans.

You want Imo citizens to speak right?... I'm sure you suppose I'm from Zamfara right?... Even with all the horrible media coverage, the political motivated negative propaganda against me man (courtesy of the contempt people have for him cos he joined APC), Imo citizens as you rightly pointed out still re-elected him in 2015. That was pure evidence that the people on ground know better than the pointless loud pointless campaigns of calumny against him coming primarily from people who arent even from the state.

I dont know about the loans he collected compared with other states, but what I know is that there are projects everywhere, much more than Imolites experienced in the combined 12 years of ohakim and udenwa.

N Okigwe own pain me pass.
Suffer every where, even the single Lane wey we dey manage, the useless "pampers king" come scatter am

Unimaginable123:
Okorocha is just a mad man. The man has killed the development of my dear imo state.
Which hospital did he build? The white elephant uncompleted building inside a forest in okigwe, is that hospital?
the nearly completed sports stadium in orlu that he destroyed without rebuilding. Is that another achievement?
Talking of criminal activities, the broad daylight robbery in zenith owerri in Feb 2017, which video went viral, is that tackling criminal activities?
Or are we talking of imo end of PH-Owerri expressway, which Amaechi completed Rivers end years ago, while imo end remains death-trap till today.
Or the fact that there are no motorable roads in imo state except owerri.
Okorocha should pls shut up

As election campaigns draw near, Okorocha is now painting whitewash on that Orlu Stadium he destroyed. He is not replacing the Stadium seats.

He is also building a New Stadium in his university in his hometown. The New Stadium he embarked upon in Orlu has been abandoned.


This Okorocha man seems to believe that every body is blind except him.

How Okorocha won 2nd Term 2015.

In 2015, Okorocha left too many uncompleted projects, mostly roads outside the state capital, and his 27 general hospitals.

So 2015 reelection, Imo people had no choice but reelect Okorocha for fear that if another person was elected, the Okorocha projects might not be completed; because Okorocha himself hardly completed any project of his predecessors.

But Okorocha wickedly leaves these roads uncompleted, but rather started to build inland roads, flyovers, tunnels, and most annoying, eight lane streets - all in the state capital.

I dont know about all these, people always will have complaints. I'm not trying to defend the man as a saint, I'm particularly disappointed in the quality of his projects. However, what I can say with a high degree of confidence is that he isnt half as bad as the 'angry mob' has been painting him; the campaigns of calumny against him are purely political (specifically because he joined APC).

At least you agree he started numerous road projects in almost all communities across the state. If not for anything, since the beginning of time, he was the first to bring any kind of govt presence to my interior community. I can now drive on tarred roads till I get to my family compound, something I never dreamt of before 2011. Of course I agree there are still lots of uncompleted branches of these interior roads even in my own village, but I cant help but simply acknowledge the one he did.

Unimaginable123:
Okorocha should visit Ebonyi state and see the wonders their governor is doing there.
He should visit anambra and see. And Enugu. And even Abia.
Okorocha is the worst governor in the south east

The enviable position is his.
Even Abia has picked up.

Please, where is this your village?
Owerri town?

Somewhere in ideato n. Oh yes most of projects may be concentrated in owerri, but if you are from imo, you will agree with me that despite his focus on owerri, he has still done far more projects in communities outside owerri than his 2 recent predecessors.

Did i hear him say he built what in imo state...the hospitals he claimed to build are in d thick bush were criminals do stay to perform their crimes example is the hospital at obowo/ihitte uboma boundary.once is 7pm,u there not cross that road again or if your mobile happens to disappoint u on that spot,your name is sori.okorocha and the sister used 600million just for christmas tree while pensioners were dying,not only that he slashed there money.bringing down peoples building without compensation.what a so called governor.go to uyo and see what the governor did still yet,u cant hear a noise from him.he is a disgrace to imo state.

My question is why are Igbos fighting Rochas Okorocha with lies upon lies? The blog is Igbobia.com and then lied that Okirocha owes civil servants or that majority of his people are disgusted.

The university built by Okorocha is the finest in the entire East today surpassing Uniport, Unical and Absu but I've never seen all these Igbo blogs write about it.

Mmttcchheeww....delusional punk

I won't really agree with you.
Because, asides substandard roads, inconclusive hospitals, collapsing bridges and schools, I can categorically tell you that the Imo state Governor is a scam.
Prefab, ikenegbu, umuguma, and other housing areas in Owerri are perennially flooded, Douglas Road and other roads have seen uncommon heaps of refuse, pension na different matter. Nepotism under him is next only to Buhari. He only does "shine-shine" by the road things to convince passers-by.
I don't see how he is trying.
I'm glad he at least built his village Ideato and opened the road at New Owerri (around New Govt. House.
I didn't forget to mention the "tunnel" at Port Harcourt road, I just can't tell if it's a big drainage channel that can take cars.

Who told you 600million was used for Christmas tree or is it same blog nonsense that you refer to? No Governor can achieve what Okorocha did with the little money available to him in Nigeria of today. No State is giving free education to University level in Nigeria and no State has built 400 schools apart from Rivers under Amaechi. No State has built the standard of hospitals in all its LGAs like he's doing, completed most of the buildings and equipped 3 so far. No Governor in history has built 8 lane roads running into 10s of km across city centre or as ringroad.In Rivers only Aba road is and in Anambra Onitsha head bridge is. The ones in Abuja and Lagos were done by FG.

His roads are not substandard anything and the tunnels are very beautiful and solid. Why have we suddenly stopped seeing photos of the tunnels? This is Okigwe road as constructed by Okorocha and the Concorde tunnel.

Abagworo, I don't usually respond to your half truths and outright lies.
If this thread is still up by next week, I will be sending pictures of the real Rochas roads.
Continue with the gullible. Thanks.

There's nowhere in the world you can call these roads substandard.

What you call real Rochas road are either the bad ones but these good ones are no longer real Rochas road. You can as well go to the spoilt roads at Uyo and call them real Akpabio roads. Ndi ara!

Look at quality of schools built by Okorocha and not just 10 or 20.

How many blogs have carried news of these schools?

They can even deny these schools exist.

Okorocha is blowing his trumpet stu.pidly........aside owerri town road brethens.... every other inter community roads in Imo State is an apology....try comparing that with a state like Anambra.
Abeg people should stop dis nonsense.... What about quality of life of its citizens?
Compare the minimum wage of Anambra Workers(20,000NGN) to that of their Imo counterpart and the rate of payment of their workers salaries.
Compare the welfare of Pensioners in both states.
Theres no need insulting the integrity of the good people of Imo State with such comments from the Governor.

A good Government should build Roads linking Rural Areas for quality Agricultural Development and not white Elephant Projects (8 lanes at d heart of the town leading to Hotels) thats adds nothing to the quality of Life of its Citizens.

1stly Anambra minimum wage is 11,500 Naira while Imo is 20,000. 2ndly there wasn't and there still isn't commensurate increase in wages by grade level in Anambra civil service making the wage bill small compared with Imo. You can verify these facts. Peter Obi refused to key into the national salary structure insisting that Anambra couldn't afford it becauss he was a 2nd termer like Okorocha is at the moment.

As for rural roads you are right but priority defers and more importantly Okorocha has done more rural roads than all his predecessors combined but cannot be compared with Anambra that started with Ngige and Obi to Obiano. It's a gradual process and any truthful person will agree that he is trying. Who could have believed Orlu can be like this?

You old frustrated man hates the truth with your hopeless life even when it is coming from your own people.

Anambra pays far and higher above Imo state and still yet it is not owing, whereas Imo state that pays far less is owing over 10months. Stop spewing rubbish this idiot.

Here...

With the recent increments done by Obiano, civil servants in the state should be earning over 22k.




Mr Jerry Nnubia, the Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in Anambra , says that the current minimum wage being earned by workers should be increased to N50,000 monthly from its present N18,000.

Nnubia told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Awka, capital of Anambra, that the increment became imperative following the “harsh” economic realities in the country.

Nnubia said that the minimum wage was long overdue for an upward review.

“At the time we negotiated for a minimum wage of N18, 000, a dollar was exchanging for N140, but a dollar exchanges for between N220 and N240 now.

“The cost of living; accommodation, transportation and food items has also gone high, making it difficult for salary earners to take care of their basic needs,” he said.

NAN also reports that the Association of Senior Civil Servants last month also demanded a minimum wage of N46, 000 for workers.

Its Secretary-General, Mr. Bashir Lawal, in Lagos State, said that the existing N18, 000 minimum wage could not meet the socio-economic demands of workers.

According to Nnubia, the Federal Government’s fight against corruption will further help to improve the economy.

He urged the Federal Government to review its housing policy for workers, noting that civil servants had not benefitted from the existing housing scheme despite their monthly contributions to the scheme.

“The current contributions of workers to the national housing scheme should be made to work,” he said.

He commended Gov. Willie Obiano of Anambra for his positive dispositions towards workers’ welfare, but noted that more still needed to be done in the state.

“Anambra workers are full of expectations that Obiano will put smiles on their faces by fulfilling his promises of increasing salaries,” the unionist said.
