niddamugu: Chei!!! The woman don hammer! At least 1m per corn! And I hope the press & camera men would someday capture him using public conveniences too.

2good:

Its all for the camera

bonetalk: Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti-State did thesame under the platform of PDP.

mekaboy: THE ISSUE IS NOT ABOUT BUYING CORN, THE QUESTION IS, WHY WILL A FULL GROWN NIGERIAN WOMAN BE SELLING CORN BY THE ROAD SIDE FOR A LIVING ? THAT WOMAN SHOULD HAVE BEEN WORKING SOMEWHERE. DO YOU KNOW THAT HER BUSINESS CAPITAL IS NOT MORE THAN N500?

I BELIEVE NIGERIA IS GETTING BETTER SHA .

olafolarin: Rochas is obviously suffering from "Assumed Office Dementia".

PointB:

Let us respect and appreciate dignity in labour. Roasted corns has to be sold my someone, if the 'full grown' woman take it upon herself to sell corn obtained from her backyard garden, farm or from other sources to support her family, or aid her children education, she deserves commendation. Or would you rather she straps bomb vest on her body, grab and AK47, and join forces with Boko Haram? Let's be real, not even will get a full time job, not matter their level of education, even if unemployment is 1%.

@topic,
Rochas is a down to earth fellow; when he is not encouraging indigent pupils to go to school for free, he is constructing roads in rural areas, or asking civil servants to serve the people - not sit around in offices waiting for the next paycheck.

WO! PointB I agree with you jere!

And I see his gesture with the 'lowly' roasted corn seller as a show of support for the 'small businesses.'

Give it to the man (Rochas) and the woman (Corn Seller); they are both heroes!

youngmonie: seems more like a PR stunt to me......or can some1 xplain why there is a video man behind him?

Ileke-IdI:


Hero for buying roasted corn? Man no go chop?

Na wa!

Chidex2442: so?
Wetin kum hapen?

PointB:

Yes he is. There are lots of powerful politicians who cannot even imagine 'stooping low' to patronize pop-corn sellers at the malls, let alone buy the jolly good old nutritious roasted corn and the 'Ube' that accompanies it by the roadside.

Those politicians are disconnected from the pulse of the people, and indeed from reality! Knowing your constituency, the way of life, and need can best be achieved by mingling with them.

Sad how we've lowered our standard for our politicians, that we even have to honor them for doing what they're supposed to do, and normalize their neglecting of what they ought to do.

patholaw: If my governor dare try it...in short he can't without security.

alj harem: That is my governor !!!

Rochas 2015 !!! I am yet to see PDP do the same

Guy, Rochas is my gov'nor too and i like him. But isn't this stage managed? I mean what is a video man doing at the background? Do video men now follow gov'nors everywhere and capture everything they do? I don't know, but maybe he was on his way to a function in company of the video man and had to eat roasted maize. Bluetooth and all u ibo-haters PLEASE don't comment on this post, thank you.
