Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has claimed that Igbo are only interested in pulling down people and do not know how to honour their own.


Okorocha said whenever he comes out to contest for president, he gets support from the South West, South South and even the North; but rejected by his own South East region.

The governor spoke while answering question on Igbo presidency when he met with media chieftains in Owerri, the Imo State capital at the weekend.


Okorocha said that any Igbo indigene aspiring to achieve the feat of being the president of Nigeria cannot rely on Igbos.

The governor said “The Igbo do not know how to honour their own. They rather like to run down any of their rising leaders. The pull-him-down syndrome is high in Igbo land. And it is very unfortunate.

“Anytime I come out to run for the presidency of this country, I will not suffer pull-him-down from the North or from the South West or South South, it is only in Igbo land that I will suffer it.


“And they engage in this pull-him-down practice without knowing the overall implications on the Igbos.

“So, it will be out of place for an Igbo aspirant at any given period to think that the Igbo will make him president because Igbos do not value their own. They don’t value what they have.

“But value outsiders. It is in their character. It is in their nature.

“Read the newspapers and go to the social media, all the insults and attacks you get are all from the Igbo. They go to any length to run you down without caring about your good intentions and all the efforts being made to see that things work out fine for the people of the area.

“It is a problem. It didn’t start today. Go down the memory lane, you would discover that the pull-him-down syndrome in Igboland didn’t start today.”

Even after saying it, they are still attacking him here! Rocha's is right. The Igbo's love outsiders more than their own. No Igbo man has been shown half the love shown to Goodluck Jonathan. If he was an Igbo man, Igbo's would have been his worst enemy.

yeah the same way we hate nnamdi Kanu because he is igbo.

just listen to ur self, one of the reasons why Gej was voted for by igbos was because he deceived igbos with his name, he said his name was Good luck ebele azikiwe Jonathan,he was not igbo but was close to been igbo. Even ameachi said it.

Another reason was because he was a southerner.

Okorocha is not the first Igbo leader to make such a statement.

Bia enyia rochas which people are they pulling down.

Why not say igbos are pulling YOU down because you are not sellable at all.


You are like a fig tree so beautiful but doesn't bear fruit. So instead of planting you in aso rock without bearing fruit we better cut you off and pave way for a tree that can be of benefit to Igbos.

Is Okorocha calling himself a rising Igbo leader? He is a rising Igbo EFULEFU and Warrant Chief. He wanted to build statues of rogues in Owerri claiming we don’t remover our people, but did he build statue honoring Ibiam or DIck Tiger or Effiong? He agreed for the Devils Dance to come and kill his young men and women in the sister state of ABia and campaigned for folks wearing bedsheets on their head to continue to rule us, all so that he Okorocha can be the rising Igbo leader and guarantee his kids good schools abroad among things....


FOOL YOU ARE

How I wish Igbo's actually know okorocha is the only Igbiod Alive with the highest chances of ever becoming Nigerian president. with the rate at which these people are going, the rest of us will have to reach a consensus on okorocha. we can't let what happened in 1966 repeat itself

U dey mind the idiot, she is one of those igbo deniars with igbo name and can speak igbo.

she should keep on deceiving herself, she is still omo igbo in ndi ofe's eyes and nyamiri in ndi Alamajiri's eyes even if she screams am ukwuani, ukwuenu, ika, oka, agbor or agbo sef.

But what is my own? I don't care, only that they should stand with what ever tribe they are and not be claiming we the NIGER DELTA or am DELTA as if they are so united.
