How Ethelbert Anayochukwu Okorocha got the name "Rochas"
He got the name Rochas from one of his teacher's, an Indian by name Mr Jacobs. It so happened that Mr Jacobs was finding it difficult to pronounce 'Okorocha' very well, so he shortened it and added the word "s" to the last five letters hence Rochas, by which he is well known today -

A media consultant and a former aide to Gov Okorocha has blasted the Resume Or Resign Advocates.
In a tweet, he said,
"Those asking PMB to RESUME OR RESIGN lack proper understanding of the issues at play and the workings of our constitution.
PMB is in London without "executive powers" which he constitutionally ceded to his Vice who is now properly addressed as Ag President discharging the duties of his boss.
On his return, he will require a transmission of a letter to resume duty or assume his powers again.

Now tell me why he should resign?

In pedestrian term, Buhari is a Ceremonial President while Osibanjo exercises his powers"

GOVERNOR ROCHAS OKOROCHA SPEAKS ON IPOB, MASSOB ACTIVITIES, & THE REACTION OF THE NORTHERN YOUTHS.
- SAYS THOSE SUPPORTING IPOB ON ITS QUEST FOR SECESSION ARE
ENEMIES OF IGBOS
- CALLS FOR THE REVIVAL OF THE POLITICAL RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN THE IGBOS AND THE NORTH
- THAT WHAT THE IGBOS NEED NOW IS THE “MOVEMENT FOR THE
ECONOMIC SURVIVAL OF IGBO PEOPLE (MOESIP).

The governor of Imo State Owelle Rochas Okorocha has said that what the Igbos need now is the Movement for the Economic Survival of Igbo People (MOESIP) and not any movement for the sovereign State of Biafra stating that leaders from other geo-Political Zones supporting the secession movement do not love the Igbos.

He also called for the revival of the Political relationship of the North with the Igbos. Read the full text of Governor Okorocha’s speech;

“I have watched and read with keen interest the developments happening in our Country with respect to the comments by IPOB and subsequent reaction by the AREWA YOUTH GROUPS”.

“I wish I do not speak on these matters or make any categorical comment as not to be misconstrued, misrepresented or misinterpreted. But despite the political implications, I make bold to speak to my Igbo brothers and Sisters and to our friends the Arewa and their leaders on these critical matters if only to save the lives of our generation yet unborn”.

“You may recall that the issue of IPOB and MASSOB in the recent times has been making headlines in various media houses and the social media especially with many people giving different interpretations to the groups. Some see them as some uninformed youths calling for the sovereignty of the Biafra nation. Some see them as some groups seeking for personal recognition and aggrandizement for the purpose of political patronage. And for some other people, it is an invitation of what has happened in other geo-political zones in agitation just to get power and form the government at the centre as assumed to be the practice in the past”.

“You may also recall that some people believe that the South-West became President of Nigeria because of the agitation by the Oduduwa group with respect to June 12 and that brought General Obasanjo as the President. Some argued that President Goodluck Jonathan came because of the agitation of the Niger Delta region for resource control and marginalization. Of recent it was also believed that President Buhari came in as President because of the agitation from Boko Haram in the recent past”.

“Let me also mention that whatever is the reason for the agitation from different groups whether right or wrong, I feel it is an ill wind that has done this nation no good”.

“If you may recall, only few months ago I have pleaded and made request for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, making excuses for him and his group as youthful exuberance and I stated that keeping him in prison would command for him unwarranted popularity and fellowership. Shortly after that and followed by the comments from the South-East Governors, Nnamdi Kanu was released, and only again to hear about the sit at home order by IPOB”.

“Let me correct the impression that the South-East people and leaders supported the sit at home order. It is not true, two factors contributed. The sit at home order came shortly after the democracy day holiday and our people in their natural character would want to enjoy the holiday to the fullest, hence, considering that the day was 30th, so many people continued the holiday. And the second and most important reason was that most traders had the fear of hoodlums taking advantage of the situation to disturb them and so stayed at home. It is not true that the sit at home order was purposely obeyed as support for IPOB”.

“Let me present an Igbo man in a practical manner. An Igbo man is a peace loving man found at all nooks and crannies of the world. There is no place you go without finding an Igbo man either building the bridge of friendship or creating brotherhood, a
