I only like him in serious movies. He just messes up any movie that's meant to be a comedy

Does Rochas have that much power for this kind of action?

Injection here and Injection there. I just hope I'll be able to feel the effect of all these injections. How may hours light will I now be having after all these injections. 

A pain in the a** perhaps. lol

The problem is not the Programme but the *diot that think they can just wake up one morning and start killing people. Do any of them come to nairaland to read all these. I don't think so cos they're all illiterates. I think they should just send some drones up north and clean up that place. Rubbish

[size=16pt]This stuff is simple. Let the power generation and distribution be private sector driven. Then like the GSM revolution, we will get a POWER revolution. The prices can be high at first. As more competition comes in, we could be paying N1500 for 1 Month power[/size]   

THE declaration of Owelle Rochas Okorocha as Governor-elect of Imo State yesterday sent the residents into wide jubilation.

And in the spirit of a new dawn in Nigeria’s political terrain, incumbent Governor Ikedi Ohakim congratulated Okorocha last night.

He said he would not contest the results of the election at the tribunal nor would he allow Okorocha pass through the same distraction that he (Ohakim) experienced during his tenure in office.

And from Abuja came a congratulatory message from President Goodluck Jonathan to Okorocha for winning the Imo gubernatorial election.

In a statement released by the presidential spokesman, Ima Niboro, Jonathan said that “the people of Imo State have spoken through the ballot box, and it is time to forge ahead in the task of further developing the State.”

The President assured the Governor-elect of the Federal Government cooperation in the task ahead, and invited Okorocha to build on the achievements of the outgoing administration.

He also congratulated the Independent National Electoral Commission for successfully concluding the Imo State elections, noting that Nigerians appreciated the efforts of the electoral body to give the country credible elections.

Also, Governor Peter Obi has congratulated Okorocha, saying that APGA’s victory in the keenly contested polls in Imo had far-reaching implications for the Southeast.

Not even the heavy military presence in the state could deter many youths from celebrating the APGA victory yesterday. Some of them went “on rampage” in major streets of Owerri and environs.

Specifically, there were spontaneous celebrations in the three geopolitical zones of the state — Orlu, Okigwe and Owerri.

Some of the jubilant people, who spoke to The Guardian, thanked God for allowing their choice candidate to prevail after several days of uncertainty.

One Edoga spoke as if he was the INEC returning officer, stressing, “that the winner of the election (Okorocha) fulfilled all the electoral requirements and thereby was declared elected and returned.”

Indeed, Okorocha, who attributed his victory to God, and pledged to “improve the lot of the masses that have, over the years, suffered deprivation and misrule,” polled a total of 336,859 votes to clinch the coveted position.

He beat his closest rival and incumbent Governor Ikedi Ohakim of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who scored 290,496 votes while Senator Ifeanyi Ararume of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) had 107,068 votes to come in third position.

Others scores were the ANPP 1,678 votes; APS, 364; ANP, 3,313; BNPP, 334; CDC, 447; CPC, 3,063; DFDF, 163; DPP, 563; FPN, 101; FRESH, 122; Labour, 1, 549; NTP, 790; PPA, 1,698, PRP, 295; and SDMP, 1,103 votes.

With the exception of Oguta Local Government Council, where election could not hold due to disagreement between PDP and APGA supporters, Okorocha showed impressive performance, scoring more than 25 per cent of the total votes cast in more than two-thirds of the 26 local government councils.

The Vice Chancellor of the Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, Umuahia, Prof. Hilary Edoga, was INEC’s Returning Officer for the supplementary election.

Four Resident Electoral Commissioners and four National Commissioners flanked him when the results were declared to an expectant crowd of party agents, journalists and party supporters.

The declaration was witnessed by APGA’s National Chairman, Chief Victor Umeh; the Deputy Chairman, Southeast, Mr. Chris Uche; APGA’s candidate at the 2007 governorship elections in the state, Chief Martin Agbaso; and the State Chairman of the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), Dr. Vitalis Orikeze Ajumbe, among others.

Edoga, in conjunction with the Supervisory Resident Electoral Commissioner in the state (SREC), Aniedi Ikowaik, cancelled Oguta Local Council polls because the electorate made it difficult to conduct elections in the area on Friday, alleging late arrival of materials to the state.

Supervising REC Ikowaik had told journalists and party agents that the report from the returning officer of Oguta spoke for itself (on the issues that took place in the area), necessitating the cancellation of poll in the council.

Meanwhile, Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State while congratulating Okorocha, said that APGA’s victory in the keenly contested polls in Imo had far-reaching implications for the Southeast.

The governor’s statement, made available to The Guardian by the Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Mike Udah, described Okorocha’s victory as a welcome development for the Igbo.

“What has happened in Imo State,” the governor said, “is a welcome development for Ndigbo.”

“With the victory of APGA there (Imo), the difficult journey for reclaiming Igbo political identity has just begun. To God be the Glory!”

Obi, till date the only APGA governor in the country, said: “Today, is a new dawn for APGA, which represents the Igbo man’s political consciousness.

“In the past, there was a connivance to stifle the development of that consciousness. But with this victory, the shackles are now being shaken off,

“While I congratulate my brother, Rochas Okorocha, I thank APGA in Anambra State and throughout the country.

“From zero, we have secured over 60 per cent of available political posts in the just-concluded elections in Anambra State.

“I look forward to seeing Ndigbo work together for the good of our people; and that, for me, is the significance of Okorocha’s victory.”

In his reaction, both the national chairman of the APGA, Victor Umeh and Agbaso, expressed confidence in the electorate, stating that the Governor-elect, Okorocha, would maintain his “welfarist stand as a philanthropist.”

The 70 observers that were re accredited to monitor the polls, led by Mr. Emmanuel Nkweke, a.k.a. Mr. Vote Count, said they were satisfied by the election’s outcome, adding that the “winner did not induce but his choice was a clear manifestation of people’s votes.”

The group also endorsed the cancellation of Oguta local council, noting that the reasons were acceptable.

However, the Publicity Secretary of the PDP in the state, Blydeen Amajirionwu, told The Guardian that the party would come with its position, as soon as it finished meeting.

Results declared in the three councils and Orji ward indicated that in Owerri North, APGA won by scoring 22,723 votes; PDP, 8,025 and ACN, 2,834. Ohaji/Egbema: APGA, 15,234 votes; PDP, 11,588, and ACN, 60.

Ngor Okpala: APGA, 17,370 votes; PDP, 9,237 and ACN, 411; and Mbaitoli: APGA, 24,305 votes; PDP, 12,278 and ACN, 93 votes.

Come to think of it, A campaign is supposed to lay down what a candidate expects to do for the state. Is "Free Education" all that Rochas has to offer?

We obviously can't go anywhere with that.

All those things that have been said about the Ohakim Administration, see them here http://www.imomanylies.com/

@1Emmy, Intellects don't go out fighting, THUGS do; and that's exactly what you are. That's exactly what a Rochas led administration with you in it will become. We see you everyday. 

My Friend, go and rest.

Rochas is the man, He is the future of Imo, ohakim has been embezzling money from Imo tax payer and allocation hoping to buy everybody. Thank God there are still honourable men Imo State. Collect the looted money and vote for good governance.
vote Rochas!!!. Collect the money ohakim will give you, it is yours, kai that guy that Ran away with N2M is wise, he has collected what ohakim denied him since 4yrs.
Thank God for nemesis, Maurise Iwu and family+ OBJ = regretting. Chai had i known.
Just got info that Gadaffi's extended family reduced by bomb blast.
This child go when the rain is still drizzling.

You just opened you account to come and campaign here. Why don't you just talk some small sense. This is not where you come and start rattling like a child.

All the above projects still fall in the DREAMS he had.

Come on, grow up! What do you mean? Please read my post again and try to visualize where they are. I obviously can't think for you. The 6 points I stated most definitely exist or else you are blind. These are things I see everyday and that I have in one way or the other, benefited from.

The ring road you are talking of is the one along Orlu road, that project took 100x the normal amount and was later abound uncompleted.

Are you the unlucky contractor who the project was not awarded to? What position are you in to make such conclusions in cost of the project? Where are your sources?

I don't know Ohakim as someone who abandons projects and this will definitely not be the first. You know why? It's too distinct to be abandoned. From the area I pass everyday, the pillars are still rising. I actually fear Rochas may abandon or tremendously slow down that project if at all he comes into power.

For free Education and co, Vote Rochas! Imo has enough money to grant our citizens free education

You and I know there's nothing like free education, not even in the advanced and resourceful countries. ALL NA CAMPAIGN.  

if Owelle can do this single handedly for many people across the nation, it means he can do more when made exe gov of Imo State, of course which he will soon be made.

Is that the only project Rochas intends to accomplish in Imo State? Free education? What happens to other sectors of the economy such as Health, security, water supply,  electricity generation etc.

Frr education exists in Rivers State, Akwa Ibom and many others.

Source please!!! If true, at what level does it exist?

Say it is possible, say Owelle, say Rochas, Vote possibilities!! vote Rochas!!!
Don't Forget ebe eshere Okuko.

You're just being too sentimental. Looks like you are one of those who intend to file in for a position if he becomes Governor. Plain and Simple!!!

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!

Let's just call this a mini-campaign section for Imo State Guber. The contenders are;

1. Ikedi Ohakim - PDP
2. Rochas Okorocha - APGA
3. Ifeanyi Ararume - ACN

Who are we pushing forward and what is your reason for pushing that candidate forward.

This cmon could be a paid tou***t from lake chad.

If ohaki-gi had tried to perform close to 25% as Imo state governor we will all line up
behind him for a second term hoping for an improvement.

We need an action/performing governor not a porrot.

Must anybody who tries to see reasons with Ohakim be a paid person? Come on, GROW UP!

Who is this CMON

Cmon is just a normal Imolite like (myabe) you.

Any one that votes for OHAKIHA ohakigi or what is he called; in Imo should have his head examined

are all the project done by his administration not enough? Until you are able to prove that, it's still baseless. I need to see reasons why people say he's not doing well.

Than man is a devil in disguise

What is the reason for this accusation. You guys just like to destroy people's image. From what I can see.

@alexleo,

Please tell me why you think Rochas Should become the next Governor of Imo State.

in 2011 person dey build pit latrines, if it better than water closet why dont you have one in your house

POINT TO NOTE: These systems are built in the very rural communities. Back in secondary school, we had 2 sets of dormitories which are alternated every year (jss 1 - Water System, jss 2 - Pit, jss 3 - Water System etc.) From my experience, i preferred the pit system to the water systems. Remember again, this is implemented in the rural areas.

Your prizes cannot change the mind of imo youth to vote 4 u. By d way do u know anything about good governance? Please imo people don't mind this man. He is trying to buy us over but you know we cannot be bought because the cost of our vote is good governance

There should be a spokesman on that draw day and you should be given the opportunity to address any issue on the d day. I will definitely be there (abi you no want win free moto? ). Just to remind you, entries end on the website by 2moro. Do well to register before then to qualify to win.

ohakim will loose landslide on the 26th.

Are you saying this based on facts or sentiments. Do you think imo people don't want him?

Y did you not respond to my post

I believe you can now see why I've chosen to vote for Ohakim, for now.

The issue of NNPC came up on his portfolio, not as a project done in the state.

As at today that community still fetches their water from my community sponsored borehole. Are u telling me they are allergic to solar powered water scheme of OHAKIGI

At least, you admit that it was built. Have you asked what happened? You see, we always like the Government to spoon feed us. I personally believe that such projects should be adequately protected by communities in which they are situated. You can't expect the government to always change every nut and bolt for something you well benefit from. Especially here in Nigeria.

Remember, I don't know the current condition of this facility so you should be able to provide proof to score any point here (a current photo with your phone will do).

Where are those two communities? Eluama i know is in Orlu Autonomus community and nothing like Eluama water scheme. Try another lie.

Somewhere in your own town, you don't know? I don't have time to explain so Please google up the towns and check the result.

How can you be aware when you are glued to brochure issued to you by ohakiGI

Most of the pictures are also online at http://imostate.gov.ng/gallery/
view them to confirm them yourself. I think they are also the ones on http://www.ohakim2011.com
Please do you own homework.

@ZE,

I strongly believe Cmon is the same agent of OHAKI-YA who has been changing his name on nairaland to confuse everybody about happenings in IMO-STATE.

Changing my name? I've been on nairaland 2 years before you I honestly don't have the time for that. So tell us, what has been happening in imo state?

Sorry CMON, we need to test someone else until we get another MBAKWE in IMO state.

So who is the Mbakwe you are thinking of voting in.

Ohaki-gi has failed !!! short and simple.

Be more explicit. You absolutely did not score any point here.

@ASSME,

Puleaase!! Don't even come here here to remind us of how much we have suffered in the hands of this 419erman.

How exactly have you suffered? Be more explicit. Or were you among those that were move during the early development process of the state? He (Ohakim) obviously can not satisfy everyone. Even Fashola stepped on toes to make Oshodi what it is today.

about the Imo website, are u talking about the photo shopped version? or the reality that we all can see?!!

I got my points at http://imostate.gov.ng/gallery/
I know a photoshpped image when I see one but what I saw on the above link is straight from the camera. Do you want to argue that?

He aint performing and the annoying part is that he is busy stealing and exploiting people in the name of schemes like the 1000 jobs u mentioned above

You have to be more explicit on how he aint performing. Remember, I'm trying to know why I shouldn't vote for Ohakim.

Are for the issue of 10000 jobs and exploiting people, I got clarification from here http://www.imomanylies.com/facts/pages/jobs/index.php

for 6 kia picanto&show, am sure the guy is going to sell tickets

You've got to be kidding me!

As for

u can't take it away from this guy, its in his blood, 419!

Here's the response I got;
Ohakim, a former commissioner, a former director in NNPC and also listed in Thisdays 50 Leaders of Nigeria as far back as 1998. Yet, some allege he is a 419er. Read more at http://www.imomanylies.com/facts/pages/court/index.php

Though, these are what I read. I've not seen it for sure.

My vote counted during the presidential elections. I believe it can count again for my state. We have to make sure the right person is on that sit.

Dunno This line sounds familiar!

Had the same experience?

I'm actually still trying to find out why I shouldn't vote for Ohakim.

Where is the water scheme for Orlu positioned?

There is a Solar powered water scheme at Abara Okporo.
Also the Oleme/Eluama Water scheme has been upgraded.

I'm starring at these projects in the brochure. Will you say they are not there?

Are you aware that the Imo State University teaching Hospital are on strike?

I'm actually not aware of this. Do you know the cause of the strike? Is it Government related?

For you to be clear, Other Governors are currently campaigning.

With Jonathan sweeping most of the polls, it is only wise for us to accept the results and move on to the gubernatorial elections on the 26th. To me, I think this is actually a very important position that affects us directly. Let's start discussing according to our states. We can also start threads for various states.

That parrot Ohakim is going to loose badly to Rochas. Not that I like Rochas anyway.

Why would you say so? This was the same thing that was going thru my mind some weeks back but then last night, I met a pro Ohakim person in a bus who actually convinced me that this man has indeed worked for the state. 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.

Distribution of 27 Ambulances and lister Generators for operations in health centres for 27 LGAs
Loads of security pick-ups for security,
Construction of several roads, clearly stated in the brochure

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.
+ Construction of 50 Pit latrines across schools in the state (who says this is not an achievement). Trust me, for schools, the pits are better than the water systems.
+ 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)

So someone should tell me, why do people dislike this man so much and why should I not vote for him, come 26th?

As you can see I took my hard earned time and internet to compose this so please only intelligent points should raised here. Some of my points are based from pictures on the Imo State Official Website so It will do you good to check it before attacking me.

if i dont vote for ohakim can i get in (and come out alive) Grin
