Okoroawusa that man has and would continue to be a fool

Okorocha is surely competitng with Aregbesola for the positin of the worst governor in Nigeria.
Bad news came out today that osun got just 6M from the FAAC and Okorocha had to make sure that a bad news comes out of imo too

Hmmm

Hmmm

he canceled the free education for non indigenes,because his counterparts in other states refused to embark on free education in their various states which was part of their discussion at the last meeting which the governors held in enugu,looking at the tuition fees,it is not different from what other students pay in other state,in fact students even pay more in Enugu and Anambara state universities.

Ok.

I don't think such nonsense has ever happened before.
Why such a heart-renting world record.. ?

ah! which can change be this?

Hahahahahaha see okorochas

Funny country . Dem no even wait make dem do convocation aftr-party

Rochas is working indeed!
Imagine somebody mentioning this man as potential president.
God help Nigeria.

Lol......so fast? Convocation never even finish sef una don lock gate.

190k for a thrash school?

Okorocha, following the same part Oshiomole took as regard AAU. Nothing good can come out of APC governments.

APC governed state ..the only one in imo ..that shows you you that Rochas is a dry man

Lol

But education is not cheap sha. That's why those private and church[code][/code] owned unis are expensive.

Meanwhile ,, diz is my 5th FP for today

Nd am dedicating it to those that only read comments .... D lord wil strengthen yur eyes [i][/i]

How can I explain to u all on this forum that okorocha is nothing but a sellout...
That man is a disgrace to Ndi Igbo..

IMO state has gone bankrupt because of RochAss OkoroAwusa. Now the fat pig wants to generate money by all means.


Ben Bruce is right after all, they were chanting CHAINS, and the masses mistook it for CHANGE

190k...... Haba now that is way to outrageous

When Rochas was busy Chanting ''Maltreating my people'',imolites were hearing ''My people My people''
