Oga Rochas was already very wealthy before ruling imo state. He had already set up the Rochas foundation, sponsored the education of hundreds of kids from many financially challenged families . We may hate Rochas for his obsession with graven images but questioning the source of the N500,000 he gave this kid is ridiculous for a man that has given millions of his personal money to the poor over the years.
Then, Rocha's was not entrusted with public fund as a governor of a state. Now every kobo he spends should be accounted for. Take it like that

Alcatraz005:
And how am I begging for pity from igbos? The Yorubas are above igbos and have been so for almost 5 decades after the war. So how can I beg for pity from a people who are beneath my tribe in almost facets of life in Nigeria?

hatchy:
Of course you did your home work well by bribing the delegates with Rivers State money to the tune of 7.5 billion naira while pensioners and workers are being owed in the state and infrastructural development nearly at zero level.

Wike is running Rivers State like his personal estate with budget under secrecy.Money meant for the development of the state is been looted with reckless abandon and nobody, not even the state law makers can raise a voice because he have pocketed and demobilised their powers.

This is the worst and most corrupt administration in Rivers State after Dr Peter Odili.

Time will tell.

edoman2016:
There is no problem if Rochas give him the 500,000 from his personal money. But if it is from the money meant for IMO state, then Rochas's brain needs to be formatted.

When I was in Anambra in 2001, sachet water was N10 when Lagosians were still complaining at N5. Some regions love money than their lives

TheHistorian:
You lots with your terrible political analysis.

100 years to come,It's more unlikely an Igbo President will surface.Or do you think the chant for "secession" is all what every region needs to do in laying claim to the highest office in the Country?

In 2019...Vote Buhari.He will end his tenure by 2023 and the power will move back to SOUTH(in general) not the microscopic SE.Learn that the legitimate way of selecting a Political office holder remains by ELECTION which is a clear game of numbers.

This 2023,You expect the Northerners support the candidacy of a region historically known for impulse domination and ethnic favouritism likewise their disgusting lousiness in the political space.

The chance of a SS getting the presidency ahead of SE is damn high.Kindly note that whenever the North complete its 8 or 12 years.It's yoruba's turn again.I'm sorry that's the sad reality.

By the time oil is not selling for more than 5dollars per barrel, this regions will be far ahead of the west and south. The little they get from fed allocations are being properly utilized and the south administrators are not doing anything. I just hope other dormant and nonperforming governors will see these and wake up. Gradually they are building that region back and we are forming educated and oil rich. This was how they got the best roads from the inception of this federation. When president Jonathan awarded East West contract and I saw the kind of roads being built by the local un-serious SENTRACO company I just weep for them. Drainage beside those federal roads are not even as deep as the gutters in my compound and they were giving them certificate of completion and commissioning the roads. Most of them have collapsed now. I pray we wake up. And this region IGR except for Lagos and Ogun is second to none. They are really trying

Somebody has just taken a loan on behalf of that community; pity them when the herdsmen come back for repayment.

Nothing just happens!

The victim is an ungrateful person, he is alive, yet calls himself unlucky.

Na d driver u b want make d bullet kill?


The policeman should be commended for being a terrible shooter.

If a woman can stab her husband to death for no reason, then not giving a policeman his due #50 'egunje' should attract a bullet.

mbhs139:
You see my friend, I hardly comment on this forum, for obvious reasons, amongst which is the lack of decorum exhibit here. But I'm constrained to comment on this particular case this morning.

You see, I think the Igbos, in Nigeria, are politically naive. Unlike the Yorubas and the Hausas, how can you expect every Indigbo to belong to just one political party-APGA? No one wins a general election in a polarised country like Nigeria?

Take the SW for instance, before it used to be the AD, then it transformed into AC, then ACN and now the APC, all in their bid and effort to be relevant at the centre, aligning with friends and foes alike. Remember the saying in politics "no parmanent friend, no parmanent foe".

But the Igbos sees every other person as their enemies.

Well, this is my humble opinion and I stand to be corrected.

Almaiga:
This is the much reason why I can never believe any Igbo pastor or begger. Their love for money will always make them go through crooked method to achieve it.
If you attend any Church and the Pastor is an Igbo man who refer to himself as a Prophet or Apostle, your already seating on a long thing.

Jaideyone:
na illiteracy dey worry you. if Lagos is not in the south east I guess it's in the southeast then.

the same Lagos that was a cesspit before ACN/APC transformed it?

Jaideyone:
and Lagos is not in the southwest. clown

Rotimik:
This is only true about Federal government revenue.

Oil constitutes only 30% of national budget (FG and States). Federal tax is about 15%, most of it from the SW. total revenue for FG is about 45%. IGR for states is now above 55% and growing.

Alariiwo:
It's very visible to even the blind.. SW is the best.

The SE surprisingly falls in the least position despite their small size and landmass.
Northern zones are just there, fairing well.


SW contributes the largest IGR to Nigeria. Over 60% of total revenue generated in the country.

kn23h:
How many African leaders have spoken out?

You've obviously not been to Ghana. Just because Ghana doesn't have a Lagos doesn't mean the country isn't more developed. Nigeria's saving grace is Yorubaland; Lagos/Ogun.

let's see people in our group first.... make we no waste this fine design.

Hey Nairalanders,

I'm currently in a state of confusion now and i thought i could reach out to the knowledgeable ones on this forum who can help clear my mind.

On applying for admission last year i was given zoology to study, but i didn't like the course. Although i went ahead to take the opportunity, i tried for another admission this year into pharmacy. But my course was changed again on getting admitted and i was given food science instead.

I initially wanted to just go ahead with the one I'm doing already (zoology), but i met some people who informed me that food science is better. Now I'm confused on which one to pick.

Please I'd like any professionals in the above fields to enlighten me more on them including the prospects and which is better in our economic climate. I tried researching on both but i didn't come up with much. I hope i can find answers here.

I don't know the mods in charge but I'd like if this topic can be pushed forward for more coverage.

Another daft article from an educated illiterate. All blue companies employ fresh graduates, and first class heads will be their first choice.

diadem10:
Those kind of house just look odd to me, looks like a mosque.. I even saw a similar one recently on my street and I can't help but hiss at that nonsense.

Maybe, it's just my problem, even my family are often wary of my eagle eyes.

diadem10:
No be only modern roofing pattern! Very ugly designs!

diadem10:
Why quoting me, not the other guy?

I only made an observation which is the truth because I have come to know any Ibo locations based on the house setting and designs, even without anyone telling me the name of the location. They always love to build scattered cone houses with a straight wall buildings. Don't you think that kind of building isn't pretty to the eyes?

PenlsCaP:
.

Oboy ur stupidity awe me like kilode.. seriously so that roofing pattern is not ibo thing abi?..lol SMH. This show how primitive and backward u are
Travel out of ur brown roof republic and see whats happening in other states,and u people refused.

Thats how one of ur primitive brother was saying SE dnt have any city.. and i tot it was a normal joke and wen i confronted the mumu, i discoverd he was damn serious..
