Empower your youths like the Igbos train theirs in business

People always have Double standard in life.dey easily raise abuse nd shout foul play when someone dey don't like acted in a way nd wen d people dey like even do worst,dey will find a way 2 back up d reason. Buharist nd TRUMPter are d same.dia is no difference between the 2 of dem

Same way you did in Imo state. Okoro awusa

Put them for your house

A bad leader lacks talent and skills. Where is the skills to eradicate poverty in the states...

The poverty you created in Imo State is still lingering. You demolished my place of business without compensation.

Did you tackle it

It's heartless when the almajiris are maltreated because of how they expose the rate of poverty in the north. The Northern Government are expected to tackle poverty by introducing empowerment & quality education. I believe Okorocha is right ✔ & his contribution needs applause

Uselessness seems to be Okorocha's forte.

When they are out of office they then suddenly have the elixir to our problems. I wonder why he didn't use this portion during his tenure as governor rather get moulding statues

Any leader from the south that is afraid to speak against overpopulation or almajirai in the North is actually a boot licker and a confused mind

Shut up!

Give it Volume ORO. 😎

Did he tackle poverty as governor?

Good evening

I stand with you ♾ this man has spoken ✊

Common sense after 8 years in office. Even when ImoState remains a shadow of itself till date after Rochas left d seat of governance. No good roads, nothing. Go to Orlu Teaching hospital. You will cry-cry...So - so sad. badgovernancedoesnotpay at all!

There will slways be poverty: its in the Bible. Both should be tackled.

Thanks for the advice. U have done ur part by building schools.👍

what is poverty what is almajiri, if they tackle almajiri is not poverty they are dealing on. Mr senator say something else. almajiri is part of the poverty shrinking the north.

Where you able to tackle poverty in Imo state

They can build covid-19 isolation centers worth millions of dollars in less than a month, but can't put our light in order for over 50years. Meaning our leader preferred to see us die so they can enriched themselves the more. Nigeria leaders are too wicked.

See kettle calling potblack what did you do as a Governor in IMO state for eight year's.. Imo was commited by vote to your hands in health/richness but you left them in poverty gather the whole lands for yourself ShametoyouRochas

Absolutely correct

My governor my governor that year

Mad oh

The truth is there is need be, to have a strong law curbing the giving of births in our northern states. and also tackle poverty. Don't just sit and shout 'tackle poverty' without having future strategies to help your citizens. Y'all the same!

Mumu ,tell them to pass birth control , marriage control, compulsory education bills into law ,the poverty is their mind, nothing can be done to fight it. The three criteria is the key to eradicate poverty ,beans.

Sending back Almajirai to their various state and families is the first step of addressing poverty in the North...which makes the problem more easy to solve through household system.

At Aregbesola’s colloquium, El-Rufai, Bagudu, Rewane, others proffer solutions to poverty | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World NewsFor Nigeria to join the league of rich countries of the world, it must invest aggressively in technology, improve local production, widen the tax net and invest in duty collection and cut cost of governance. I assume this is sarcasm right? Is this a projection or speculation? Please, don't politicize the condition of the needy. It's inhumane to mock the poor, especially when it's a society-made poverty. Story for the gods.During my service year, I knew how my neighbour fed from hand to mouth when salaries were delayed, or was it the teachers at my deployment center, abeg make them shift!
