Mr. Rochas Okorocha, Governor of Imo State is one of the leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC). The APC’s signature tune is anti-corruption. Okorocha has just shot himself in the foot. He rolled out a red carpet for a man who doesn’t deserve it; he named a street undeservingly …
Just last night I watched live on AIT, a most wasteful reception of corrupt President Jacob Zuma of South Africa and Governor Rochas Ethelbert Okorocha of Imo State. Ironically, on the same day the South African Supreme Court had earlier ordered the reinstatement of the corruption charges of money laundering …
There is an evolving notion that Imo State politics is unpredictable politics. As unpredictable as Imo State political terrain has become over the recent years, the landscape is shaping to be more subsumed by uncertainties in the coming years as the majority of Imo people publicly express their disdain for …
Imo governor, Rochas Okorocha has taken what qualifies as a politically audacious step in ensuring that the militia boys in the Niger-Delta are called off the oil rich creeks and made to embrace peace by submitting their arms to designated authorities and committing to peace initiatives of the government. By …
One of the things Governor Rochas Okorocha has scored very high marks in, is the demystification of certain individuals in the State who were hitherto untouchable or made it look like they were. The irony in this is that these individuals who are being steadily dealt with by the Ogboko …
Dear Athan! You lied that you are for the masses when you are a godfather trying to become a monster (eze onyeagwalam). Your action of disconnecting with the masses within your ill-fated six months sojourn in the Senate bears eloquent testimony to your dictatorial tendencies. Within this same period, you …
For non politicians, 2019 is a far one and issues and activities reserved for the year should not be talked about any time soon. But to a politician, a typical Nigerian one for that matter, the end of one election is the beginning of an another one which comes up …
The Federal Medical Center, Owerri has been in the news for sometime now, and for the wrong reasons, too. The army of immensely corrupt personnel at that health center has refused to let the hospital operate freely, as they are hell bent on having their selfish way without minding how …
For some time now, there has been a sudden cataclysm of damage repair and turn-around-maintenance around the persona of the immediate past governor of Imo State, Chief Godson Ikedi Ohakim, with many Imolites hailing him as a ‘Misunderstood Patriot’ and an ‘Unsung Hero’. While this may be true to an …
Since my last article “Imo empty Treasury: How did we get here” went viral, I am happy at the responses that have followed it. I am more particularly happy that against the usual practice by overzealous government defenders, no one has dared challenge my deduction that the failure of Imo …
May 29, 2015 has come and gone and Imo State and all her indigenes (except for those that passed on during the period) are still here. For those that are in business, it is a breath of fresh air while for those in white and blue collar jobs it portends …
Last time I talked about Ibe one of the 10,000 Imo graduates that governor Rochas Okorocha sacked who now sells recharge cards in Owerri. Ibe was looking very hungry and haggard when I saw him. He was clearly traumatized by the impossible condition in which he struggles to exist each …
