Two things will probably happen in Imo between now and December 2018.

Governor of the state, Rochas Okorocha, will either be pressured to remove the statue of disgraced former South African President, Jacob Zuma which he erected with state funds running into millions of naira or the people of Imo may take it upon themselves to remove the “abomination” that comes with Zuma’s statue.

Okorocha, in an effort to parley with Zuma and several other African leaders, erected 13 statues and invited them to lavish state unveiling receptions. Zuma’s statue was the first to be unveiled – at a time he was being disgraced in his home country and asked to resign on accusations of corruption and sexual assault.


Since Okorocha seems to give preference to statues over the payment of salaries and pensions then he should have accorded this honour to people of repute. But no, Okorocha chose to sully his already tenuous reputation by making a statue of Zuma.

As at the time of filing this report, Imo indigenes and Nigerians are still at a loss at the rationale behind the Zuma statue.

The confusion around the motives behind his decision to honour Zuma was shared equally by Nigerians and South Africans.



Rochas’ bride and one of the most corrupt South African Presidents in recent times has resigned from his exalted position due to the unmitigated level of failure of his administration. Okorocha had insisted that Zuma was merely embattled and misunderstood, much like he claims to be.

Look who’s been thoroughly shamed now

Do insensitive and heartless people feel shame?

Roach Ass

I have said it. Nigeria as a country always glorifies the wrong people. This is the biggest problem we face

I don't think so

Whether you guys like it or not Gov.Rochas has made some money out of Zuma's statute.

According to the governor,his ideas drive him crazy.

If you want to blame Rocha's,remember the traditional ruler who gave Zuma traditional title and the legislators who gave him approval to give the highest state honour to Jacob Zuma.

A lot of imolites have suffered unprovoked attacks on their properties and even lives in South Africa and Rochas who want to be president someday brought the former South African leader here to shower him with undeserved honours and awards. Surely Rochas ideas drive him crazy.

Well....its true

Giving someone award of honor for his achievements cannot be nullified because of his verified or unverified bad side. Zuma remains a great African legend for his role in the fight against Apatheid and his emergence as President of South Africa despite his lack of Western education. Okorocha did well to honor him.
