I dont know why Jacob Zuma deserves this kind of honor. He is a disappointment to Africa.
ReplyDeleteHowever, politicians are all the same. Rochas is also on an image laundering drive with Imo state money.
I don't see anything wrong with naming road after Jecob Zuma, but let Rochas build new roads and name it after anybody not old road and rename it
ReplyDeleteI feel embarrassed that a president from another African country is commissioning a road in Nigeria. The road does not in anyway link the two nations. So what is the significance
ReplyDeleteThis is one clear evidence that Imo State Governor - Rochas Okorocha is either crazy or stupid. Why didn't he use famed living or late Igbo son and daughter or even other Nigerian? Why South African President Zuma. What has he done to deserve such honor? Why not Mandela – the icon of anti-apartheid movement or Archbishop Desmond Tutu another South African anti-apartheid and social rights activist and clergyman. There must be a reason for this. May be, that’s where he Rochas plans to go on exile. But Biafran people will get there also. He has no hiding place in this planet.
