Abagworo: hehehe! My brother orubeghi na nke ahu! ![]() You need to see things from international dimension (you are too local, trust me!) before you can understand why SE region remains a huge village, while other less endowed regions develop better and suck away our human resources. People often wonder why we leave Igboland to go elsewhere. My simple answer to that is that we lack international access. Trust me, I know! For example, to send an ordinary international mail or cargo to Igboland from outside is almost impossible. ![]() Even if it gets there, it would be missing parts -hands, legs, eyes. |

ak47mann: anambra need a neutral person with vision to govern my beautiful state and i can see that from my nwanna only-truth Thanks my brother. As a matter of fact, if I can get some of the current or future governors to think like me, I would have "governed" the state already. The same applies to Igboland as a whole. If I can get our leaders to see things clearly and do what is necessary for our survival, then I don't even need to contest any political position. But I will, for sure, if I see no changes! ![]() 2 Likes |

imparable7: Most people who criticize Rochas administration are those who got the 10000 jobs of Ohakim but were chased away by Rochas. Others are the disappointed PDP members and their children. Rochas is sincere. I have never seen any politician who is sincere like Rochas so far. The free education he promised has since started in the secondary schools. As for the free education for Imo citizens who are in any Imo State owned high institutions, the process will take effect from September as Rochas sayed. The free education is not for every body. He did it in such a way that the first 20 persons in each autonomous comunity that applies for the free education would be given the free education. The forms are shared by the traditional rulers in their communities. It is just about 20 forms for each autonomous community. Is this not enough for us to thank Rochas? More over, there are massive road construction going on in every nooks and crannies of Imo State. If Rochas will complete the construction of the roads, many mouths that have spoken foul would speak good of him. I am sure he will complete them in no distant time. Already there are some of the roads that have been completed, some are near completion while others are still in the primary stage. Also, the 20,000 minimum wage he promised has taken effect long time ago. Many secondary and primary school teachers in Imo State earns up to 125,000 naira montly. Go and ask those who are in level 13 and above. Sometimes I don't know what gains some people make in tarnishing the image of some one who is trying his best to develop his people. He is now paying pensioners regularly. The issue of ghost workers in Imo State is now a past tense. He promised to use the money recovered from "ghost workers" ,which was about 80million naira every month, to carry a major progect in the state. He is also looking into agricultural sector, manufacturing etc. He is barely 1 year in the office, and he has achied all these. We should just keep our mouth closed for now and wait for about 3 years. Then, we shall see that Rochas was the answer to the prayers of many Imolites when Ohakim was bloodsucking all of us Imo people. 1 Like |

Abagworo: nwokem, please speak only of what you know about... rivers state felt the impact of amaechi as soon as he became governor... You strike me as a Rochas supporter hence lacking the ability to make unbiased assessment of his achievements... I honestly pray you are right, because most Imo State residents I have spoken with have said otherwise.. Also, Dede1 has repeatedly pointed out that he still pays tuition fees for his Umu azi's so what's happening with the free education bit... |

Eagle75: Yeah, its an inferiority complex which results to a constant need to validate him/herself. Inferiority complex definition: A persistent sense of inadequacy or a tendency to self-diminishment, sometimes resulting in excessive aggressiveness through overcompensation Putting others down (whether provoked or not), is a way of making him/herself feel better about him/herself and to better deal with his/her own failures and shortcomings... |

What is going on here? Is Imo state in mars? If you doubt the stories you read or hear, travel down there and see for yourself. I dont know why some are desperate to pull the guy down. We did some work in that state recently and i was amazed at the level of construction work going on EVERYWHERE we went., especially in the hinterland. My worry is that the rainy season is going to make life hard for those living near some areas because of the constructions going on. People dont need to hate for the sake of it. This governor wants to help his people. I have visited most parts of this country and i can humbly submit that no governor has been in this haste to achieve in such a short period. I saw serious work going on at new hospital sites, new schools and almost every unpaved road in the state. You look at the huge construction activities going on and you wonder whether the state goverment can muster the resources to finish all of them. I will still visit the state again in a weeks time for a colleagues wedding, and hope to upload some pics if that will help the irritating Thomases here. The man is on fire and should be commended even if he is not my governor. 3 Likes |

I was at Okwuato, Aboh Mbaise LGA about 3 weeks ago and saw that roads had been graded deep into the interior villages, sand had also been mobilized prior to the road construction. My younger brother (a civil engineer who had recently assisted in some road construction at Arondizogu and Okigwe area) told me that all local govt chairmen had been given a mandate by the Exec governor to go and construct at least 20km (I've forgotten the exact figure) of roads in their various councils. The state gov's technical committee would then come to inspect completed jobs done satisfactorily, before full payment was released. This I feel has prompted the simultaneous construction works going on in all LG councils. One thing I was taught in elementary agric science is that a major challenge to rural agriculture and industrialization, is poor road network and access to market. But of course all these arm-chair critics would never see that. Afterall, why should govt be wasting money constructing roads in the bush where people would hardly use them? Well the duration of my journey to that bush was considerably lessened by a full 15 mins, simply because the road had been graded. Now how would it be when that road is eventually tarred? The governor makes education free for all indigenes but NO, some people here have developed a diarrhoea and are unhappy with that policy. That why should it be free for everyone? Why not restrict it to a few gifted people? For goodness sake, education was made free for all and yet people are still complaining. When you find child-hawkers on the street who can't go to school because they can't afford the fees, these same critics would still be the first to blame the govt for not making education affordable for all. To all you arm-chair critics (I would still use the cliche again, BITE ME) who can never see anything good of a performing govt. all I can say is that you can all go and hang yourselves for all I care. Rochas or NL won't miss you but would still go on. One name (Kobojunkie) keeps popping up so religiously when it comes to being anti-govt and only making senseless comments that have no logic. I have tried severally to see reason with the person but no matter how I try to follow it's comments or understand it's point, it wanders off along another line of argument. Abagworo used to behave in an almost similar manner but he recently seems to now make his arguments based on hard facts and physical evidence. Not some disillusioned spouting fed by a runaway imagination that has no bearing whatsoever with reality on ground. Kobojunkie, re-assess yourself. 1 Like |

Rochas is messing up. He may be down and out before he realises it. I think his problem is largely inexperience because he constantly re-emphasizes his goodwill for the state and its citizenry (even though me sef don dey consider am as talkactive). The people have been badly governed by successive govts so the yearn for a good one. I sincerely hope Rochas is the man to rescue because so far, he hasn't proven to be. YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY? WELL IT IS BECAUSE OF THE FOLLOWING: Insecurity in the state has skyrocketed in the past few months (armed robbery & kidnapping; no society can acheieve any meaningful dev in that kind of environment) Delayed payment of civil servants salaries (after promising what seemed to be the higherst amount of minimum wage) Inconsistent administrative policies Large, laughable and boogus-sounding projects (synonymous with Ohakim era) Contract handling procedure (no usage of bill of quantities(BoQ) in the tendering/approval process, inadequate QA/QC mechanism - with the result that any politically elected idiot from an area can supervise on-going projects including road construction in his area/community even if he is not schooled in that respect and may have no value-adding input to make. Previous govts had inspection teams but now "His excellecy" is going everywhere because he wants to cut cost. But he cant be everywhere, and even how much time can he spend in a place at a time to really inspect before moving on to the next project?). Commercialisation of basic neccessities and processes in govt ministries (this has led to a huge level of corruption as large sums of monies now change hands in the ministries and the common is now paying for services that the govt hitherto delivered for free or next to nothing in cost. E.g As enlightened as I am, I was made to pay 17,000 to obtain a form in a ministry in the state on the 15th of May 2012. 12,000 was filled on a teller for deposit and receited while 5,000 was not. This service I gather used to cost about 1,500 by Jan last year). He deducted 10,000 from the paltry 70,000 he pays traditionally to re-certify (to re-take note of 5-decade old) already existing autonomous communities in the state. 4th tier govt is gist for another day. (I visit Imo state twice in a month to see my folks and I am well a witness and can tell you more but wouldnt want to increase the length of this already long epistle. Lol) May God help him and our beloveth state |

If you cannot definitively state where I have done what you accuse me of, then it becomes clear that you are likely a product of imb-eciles. |

Okija Priest: Rivers State has not even really freed itself from the impact of the still ongoing construction works. The praise Amaechi received from learned people including myself was his action of taking the bull by the horn which is exactly what Rochas is doing. It will take another 2 to 3 years to start seeing a lot of completed projects in Imo State. I've seen some of the few completed ones like the housing estate opposite Concorde hotel and that new dual carriage way linking Bank Road and Aba Road. Remember this is just a year. |
Re: What Has Rochas Achieved In Imo State by fromacho: 12:02am On May 22, 2012 |
Nigeria as a country is not well governed, not to talk of the ppl leavin in it...Rochas is a human and not a machine so we dont expect to wakeup one morning and see owerri transformed. Development is a slow process thing dat has to take tym to come to play so i will advise we give him some tym afterall there were other ex-governors before rochas..what did they do? Does it mean they were not able or cannot do the little works Rochas is doing now then? 1 Like |
