Honestly the problem of Igbo's are Igbos themselves.
These politicians can actually take it upon themselves to develop their region but they keep fooling around. The Easterners will be transferring aggression because it is easy to do so, neglecting their own failings. Honestly I used to be among those clamouring for Independence but looking at it closely we Igbo's are no better. Until we change ourselves how can we change the society around us?

Your opinion is invalid.



Why not face d issue at hand rather than bringing a whole tribe into it.

Igbos should seriously work on themselves,as educated as people of Imo are rated,if this man is the only one who they have to lead dem,then oro pesi je nuun,make i hear one funny mind talk of marginalization of the Igbos at federal level my people'll say (ile lati n ke'so rode),No roads,no factories,no business,no farming,education plummeting and na hotel and blowing of sirens we wan chop?,the same thing in Abia state,one mumu we'll now be lecturing me about how the federal govt. is their problem,are these ones the igbomen that should be given power??,or which of the igbo leaders can fill and stand out?........umu IGBO wake up and learn from southwest.

Trash

That's Imo hall of fame and it has more than just those the OP posted. Obasanjo and Ekwueme are also there.

Lol! Obasanjo doesnt even have a statue in yorubaland.

Illiteracy is bad. This one is placing statues of living people, who have not done anything honourable, all over the place.

Even a statue of himself. Such arrogance. He must think hes some type of pharaoh. Ur people are meant to honor u, u dont honor urself.

Foodforthought:
I wanted to reply to ur insult but I changed my mind. I am way too mature for that. I am Igbo too and I also know what happens in the east. If Igbo's do not support their political leaders, how come their political rallies witness huge turnout? I understand that people do speak against these political rogues as u call them, but there is a difference between speaking and acting. I expect Igbo's to channel their aggression into uprooting the bad leaders that they have and electing the ones that will move the region forward. Why can't anyone start a campaign to kick out okorohausa and his liked?. Instead we are busy raising campaigns to fight marginalization from FG. Biafra or no Biafra we Igbos can take a stand to put things right by ourselves. That is what I'm trying to say. If I am foolish so be it.

Mr matured Igbo man I hail ooohhhh.



Mtchhhh

jsb:
So erecting is now the new meaning of going continental....

Lmao! I just shook my head when I read that.

Nobody around you Igbos in this present day Nigeria want you Igbos to change anything around them.

Let Igbos concentrate on their region

And if possible, move to their region in thousands cos their presence in our regions is affecting our infrastructures.

After all, each region has what is allocated to them. It's not nice to have all these Igbos with their Almajaris children leeching on our free education, free health care via state hospitals and others.

Funny enough, other regions should be the one to help Igbos to change from this chest-beating mentality, sense of entitlement to what they don't deserve, marginalisation rhetorics, hereditary hate-personified aura and parasitic nature.

nigeria politicians and stupidity
are 5&6
whats the connection btw imo state and african politicians

obaataaokpaewu:
The same Rochas will still demolish these statues if he wants to widen the road

Screenshot of my conversation of my friend, a Rochas fan especially in his first tenure

Very correct. All the walls he erected at some government offices were demolished during the widening of roads to make way for his so called urban renewal programme.

This Man is just a Goon
how can he waste Taxpayer's Money on nonsense
chaiiii i am just trying to Sympathize with the people of IMO who voted this Mad man into power next time when you hear Okolocha just know that it is a brother to Monkeypox

You may be right

Not maybe sef, I'm very sure.. I av researched deeply on this..

So many things make up a good economy.. Most of the countries in the north of Africa produce finished goods and export to Europe.. Not just raw materials..

Most of countries like Kenya, and others in the north has world class tourism economy.

Most countries in the north of Africa have better football league, in fact, they have standard sport sector.

A country like Egypt has 99% electricity supply for her citizens..

SA is far ahead of Nigeria... Most of these countries have standard water system for their cities and rural areas..

Health care is far better in most of these countries with some of them having foreigners come there for medical treatments..

We send a lot of our people to go to Egypt, SA, Kenya, etc to learn and acquire skills.. This shows better educational system..

Most of these countries have better par capital income for their citizens.. Most are better in manufacturing..

U know, we lie to our selves a lot in Nigeria.. See Nigeria that can not survive without oil dey follow countries that have developed their production and manufacturing sectors to international standard compete..

Take sport judge sef.. While clubs in SA, like Soundwns, Pirate, Keizer chiefs, etc are securing international sponsorship deals with the likes of Toyotal, Puma, Hyundia, etc, where players get brand new cars periodically, Nigeria is still battling for or against Buhari, IPoB, oil, revenue.. Look at clubs like Ahly of Egypt, Sahel of Tunisia, etc they are well managed with better leagues..

When u watch them, u will see citizens better than us here..

Just that Nigerians know how to suffer and smile, we know how to manage, we know how to patch patch life eh..

If not, we are not living life here at all..

Even as a rich man, u are exposed to generator sound every day before u can generate electricity.. What a shame..

Not trying to twist the issue by what exactly does"sense of entitlement to what they don't deserve" mean ?

Example

They want another state despite the size of their landmass and population

Just look at their landmass in that picture

They just believed that whatever Yorubas/Hausa/Fulani get, they deserve it too regardless of our size and population.

That's sense of entitlement to what they don't deserve

What they failed to understand is this, if they one state today, Yorubas are getting two additional states the following day.

Ibadan alone is bigger than Abia and Ebonyi state combine

How they managed to get 5 states beats my imagination till date.

I honestly think Ebonyi should be forced back to their old state.

''Rochas is beyond Afrcan level. He now operates on a continental level".. Am I the only one noticing that these 2 statements contradict each other? Please Say no to weed in Douglas House Owerri. :/

Ohakim was a better Governor

We really need to do better 2019. Ball is in our court... Lets continue to vote on sentiments and not the quality individuals have to offer, we'll get worse than what we have.

History will never forgive this rochas,fayose and others with their level of incompetency and their waste of public funds on unnecessary things.

pure waste of government money. the images are those of presidents still alive which shows he is doing it to gain favour. am beginning to unlike this man. this is pure misplaced priority

CHANGE was a very bad idea!

If I have my way,I will carry out surgery on his brain and ensure he never wakes up.I wonder how he thinks! IMO state should be pitied.

Trash

why not school me a bit mazi,and nairalanders of my claims,i mean like how a core states like imo and abia will stand without federal allocations.i mean Like which of the governos can pull a large net and how they intent doing it,oya school us ore.

CastedDude:
Many Nigerians especially Imolites were angered after governor Rochas Okorocha unveiled a giant statue of South Africa’s President Jacob Zuma in Owerri, Imo state to honour him. ‪Apparently there are also statues of Rochas Okorocha, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and Ghana president Nana Akufo-Addo and 5 others erected at the Heroes Villa, Ikemba Ojukwu centre, Owerri.

According to reports gathered from the governor's media aides, Rochas Okorocha has gone beyond African level and is now operating on a continental level.

That is the salary he should've been paying ppl that he's using to do rubbish.

This is a fruitful idiot

The secret of those statues. Okorochas built all d past and present corrupt president statues to tell the world we are the most corrupt leaders who has scammed our people for our interest, wen we die remember us.as most corrupt leaders. #rubbish

This is really commendable, Heroes Park. Thats nice.
I only thought it was Jacob Zuma, didn't know all African Presidents had theirs.
Great achievement.

Corrupt President Jacob Zuma

No wonder ghost gave him the hottest slap of his life some times ago, may be he is expecting multiple slaps and this time around he will get his senses from the pit of hell.

decatalyst:
Is this man normal?

Salaries to pay and economy to build, he just get busy building the statues of money embezzling leaders...I hope he erects that of his counterparts in Nigeria.


Something tells me that, by the time he choose to erect statues for each polithiefians in Nigeria, the while IMO state would cease to have any space

That is the type of leaders Nigeria produces.
They can't pay salaries of the poor workers, but they go around everyday building useless statues to curry favor from those foreign leaders.
