I used to be an anti Ohakim person until I met a pro Ohakim person about a week ago. The truth is: the only reason why I didn't like the ohakim was the way he speaks in public. Period!

Well this pro Ohakim person made me understand that being a leader is more that just the way the leader speaks. He rose some very good issues in support of the Ohakim administration and I well agreed with him. Here were his strong points;

1. The introduction of Keke Napep to put an end to the to Okada operations which cause lots of death and accidents.
2. The 10000 Jobs offer of which one of my cousins benefited.
3. The issue that the dredging of the Nworie river is an NDDC project and is not funded by the state govt.
4. The construction and upgrade of so many roads within Owerri (at least where I am - Yar' adua drive).
5. The massive construction of the out ring road and flyovers to de-congest traffic in Owerri
6. The traffic lighting and street lighting all over owerri.

I got curious on typing this message so I decided to check the official website of imo State government and what do you know, they have a good one with loads of information. From the website, I was able to gather the following information;
From what I can see on the imo state government official website,

Water schemes in all 27 LGAs
Free health care in government health centres in all 27 LGA (for pregnant women and children aged 1 -5)
Distribution of 27 Ambulances and lister Generators for operations in health centres for 27 LGAs
Loads of security pick-ups for security,

And some silent projects like
+ The construction of the New Government house office, which I see everyday on passing the area,
+ The procurement of transmitters and transmission vans for Orient FM, though I don't know why they're still not performing up to speed.
+ Facilitation of the Graceland housing scheme around FHE Egebeada (still wondering why people haven't moved in yet)
+ Rehabilitation and construction of classroom block all over the state.
+ The construction of an Ultra Modern Shopping Mall at Aladinma (Why this area is not bubbling with activities still baffles me tho)


Here's my assessment;

+ He's trying to develop the entire state at the same time, implementing projects for the 27 LGAs at the same time.
+ He has a good vision for the state.
+ He has tried.

I hear so many bad things about the man but really I was told they are all rumours.

So someone should tell me, why do people dislike this man so much and why should I not vote for him tomorrow?

Please note, I don't buy a campaign that says "FREE EDUCATION". It's not done anywhere in the world. It's impossible. Period!

all i see in nigerian politics is face value politics and not ideological politics,

if i ask what is the major difference between PDP and ACN/CPC/APGA, what would be the answer
what most people (and sadly, most posters on nairaland ) would say is PDP is a rigging and looting party,

and i say, is that what makes APGA/CPC/ACN a viable option??

in the US, when a politician tells you he/she is a republican, i can predict  what his general views on certain issues are, likewise a democrat,
even in GBR, i can tell you the difference btw a conservative and a labour party candidate. but here in nigeria all we are interested in is pouring invectives,
nobody is ready to take a meaningfull position on "bread and butter" issues,

all what we hear is light , roads, water, (the same worn out shibboleth used by generations before us)
i pray a time would come when our parties would have their ideological values, only then would political whoring stop and then people can choose party affiliation based on issues and not on religion/ethnicity







well, the difference btw PDP and ACN is that ACN are known for offering free education pay student fees for WAEC and NECO, also known for transformation of a state Just as it is in Lagos, PDP has been there 12yrs ago and ACN is not more than four years. In lagos fashola won not because he is in ACN but cause of his exemplary performance in his first four years, In Imo state change is needed Very urgent cause PDP is .about to ruin the state
