PRESS RELEASE
CHIEF ETHELBERT OKOROCHA HAS TURNED HIMSELF INTO A PUBLIC NUISANCE SUFFERING FROM WITHDRAWAL SYNDROME.
-Rants Like a Baby Whose Mouth Was Forcefully Withdrawn From The Mother's Breast.
The attention of the Secretary to the Government of Imo State, Hon. Barr. Uche Onyeagucha has been drawn to the most puerile and leprous comments recently made by Chief Ethelbert Okorocha in a Radio Programme at Reach FM, Owerri, wherein he denigrated and blackened the Secretary to the Imo State Government accusing him of breaking into his guest house and took away all his properties and documents.
Also, in a most disgraceful manner and like a drunken dreamer, Chief Ethelbert Okorocha in a bid to incite the people against the present government ended up in making fool of himself and turning himself into a public nuisance. Instead of hiding his ugly face in shame and apologizing to Imolites for raping and pillaging the State resources with grass impunity, he was unleashing all manner of lexical volleys on the present administration and on a man he is not worthy and qualified to lace his shoes. He forgot that such sterile scurrility is no longer fashionable to the people of the state. A responsible Political office Holder should know his limits and comports himself with a modicum of respect and decency.
Going by his recent crocodile outburst and infantile ranting, it is now a testamentary fact that Chief Okorocha has indeed turned himself into a public nuisance. It is unfortunate that the only media platform he can use to disparage the present administration is her daughter's Radio Station which was built on State Government's Land with State Fund. Chief Okorocha needs to be reminded that very soon, Government will recover the station because it was built on Government's land with Government fund.
The crystal truth is that in all ramifications, Chief Ethelbert Okorocha has no moral justification to denigrate the present administration which has within two months and three weeks set a verifiable development standard in the State which his inhuman administration could not do throughout his vanishing eight years tenure in the State. Imolites will always remain grateful to God for delivering the State from the hand of a functional buccaneer like Chief Okorocha who has now lost his sense of discernment and rants like a baby whose mouth was forcefully withdrawn from the Mother's breast. Therefore, no responsible Government can condescend so low by joining issues with Chief Okorocha who is now in need of urgent psychiatric attention. The truth remains that when a sane person pursues an insane man people in the vicinity will equally consider the sane person as a mad man. In a civilized society, Chief Okorocha would have been ostracized for the colossal and devastating damages he caused in the State and also for the evils he committed against the people of the State.
Indeed, this present administration cannot be distracted by Chief Okorocha's intellectually bankrupt vituperations which depict his Vacuity. This present administration is committed in the task of rebuilding the State from ruinations and cannot be distracted by the infantile outburst of a rejected, frustrated and dejected man like Chief Okorocha who is now suffering from withdrawal syndrome. Instead of making mockery of himself, he should concentrate and face his EFCC case.

The
Yale Young African Scholars Program is a new initiative that is modeled
off of the Yale Young Global Scholars Program. These sessions, in Ghana
and Ethiopia, are the first sessions to take place outside of Yale’s
campus in New Haven, Connecticut. These sessions are intended solely for
African students attending secondary school on the African continent.
The 2014 inaugural Yale Young African Scholars programs will be hosted by Yale University in two locations:
The Yale Young African Scholars Program (YYAS) is a high-intensity five-day program designed for African students who will graduate from secondary school in 2015 or 2016 and have the talent, drive, energy, and ideas to make meaningful impacts as young leaders, even before they begin their university studies. The Yale Young African Scholars Program is an official program of Yale University.
There is no cost to students to participate in the Yale Young African Scholars Program. Participants are, however, responsible for getting themselves to the venue at the outset of the program and their return home at the end of the program. Participants will also be responsible for any incidental expenses they elect to incur.
The programs will help students recognize and understand global issues, strategize responses, and innovate solutions while learning from Yale faculty and African undergraduate and graduate students who currently attend Yale. Students will participate in a lecture series and a number of elective seminars on a variety of topics. The demanding academic content is designed to improve students’ analytical thinking, intellectual flexibility, and written and oral communication skills. These skills will be further utilized in small workshops designed to prepare students for the demanding application processes of U.S. colleges and universities.
Accommodation will be provided for all students, along with class instruction, three meals a day, and in the case of the Ethiopia session, transportation from Addis to Debre Zeit. There is no cost for students to participate in the program.
Please share the program flyers for Ghana and Ethiopia with students who may want to apply.
