I
am angry at those who have been busy taking potshot and castigating those who
said that Imo State governor created a Ministry of Happiness and Purpose
(Couples) Fulfillment.
I
am not going to dwell on the argument of whether it was "Purpose or
Couples" Fulfillment. This is because those who have been taking
journalists to the cleaners since yesterday maintained that no such Ministry
was created.
This
stand invalidates whether it is 'Purpose or Couples Fulfillment" because
facts have emerged to prove that such Ministry was indeed created.
The
Imo State Commissioner for Information Mr. Nnamdi Obiaraeri was on Channels TV
yesterday to justify and defend the need for such a Ministry in Imo State.
Visit his Facebook Wall for details of why the Governor created that all
important Ministry..
Then
there are those who in their hurried bid to gloss over the mess, said that the governor jokingly made allusions to the
creation of such a Ministry. That he never meant it. This camp are angry at the
journalists for focusing on 'a joke' instead of the real thing. Any journalist worth
his calling who failed to focus on such expensive 'joke' should be fired, or
have his BTA withdrawn for a month. The joke is the story, that is the meat of
the story.
Now
that Imo State has become a joke
Talking
about jokes. If you know Okorocha and his governance style, you will know that
he governs Imo State like a joke. There has not been any policy pronouncement
from him that was not made as a joke.
I
visited the Governor in the company of a friend sometime in 2014 to discuss on
a project we think should be to the benefit of the region, and how he can help
market it to other governors. I was shocked that he received us not in his
office, but at a place with thatched rafiapalms roof called Bush Bar.
He
told us that he does all his official work from the Bush Bar, that he can't
remember how many times he sat on his desk, in his office. The Bush Bar had all
the accessories of a well stocked bar, with bar maids, waiters, and all sorts
of drinks and good music.
I
saw some of his commissioners, and almost all his personal assistants hanging
around, either drinking, eating or back slapping one another. What a way to
work?
The
governor takes his lunch there like an emperor with his assistants either
holding the cup or helping him with cutlery.
That
was where the business of government was conducted from.
That
was where ideas are conceived and executed.
After
that visit and the developments that followed across the State, it dawned on me
why Imo State has such quality of governance.
Probably
the idea of the erection of statues, pyramid of birthday cakes, constructing
the tallest Christmas tree, owning pensioners, running down education, poor
infrastructure and ofcourse a Ministry of Happiness and Purpose Fulfillment all
had the trademark of alcohol influenced ideas and maybe they were all birthed
at the Bush Bar.
Is
it not said that best brains are preserved in alcohol?
