The 2014 edition of Oru Owerri Cultural Festival turned sour for the member representing Owerri Senatorial Zone at the Nigerian Senate, Senator Chris Anyanwu as she wept uncontrollably at the event Saturday evening following the insults meted to her by Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State.

CHRIS ANYANWU
According to globalville The event, which held at Ugwu Ekwema Civic Centre along Egbu Road, Owerri, had the governor, his deputy and the entire state executive council with Senator Anyanwu and other aspirants like Ken Njemanze, Chief Ernest Ibejiakor, Hon. Ezenwa Onyewuchi representing Owerri Federal Constituency, etc, present.
Okorocha, who spoke immediately after he was officially inducted into the Azuike age-grade ( people from 50 years and above) showed the senator what he had in stock for her when he placed her last in the protocol list after the transition chairman of Owerri Municipal.
He started by telling the crowd that trooped out to the event that following his numerous achievements in the last three years in the state, time had come for them not to allow criminals to occupy leadership position anymore.
He said he had reduced traffic gridlock in the city of Owerri and had connected the Old and New Owerri with good inland roads and bridges.
The governor said those who held the state to ransom without any useful achievements in 12 years had all come out again, wanting to govern the state, a move he urged them to stop by all means.
He added that no more will 419 men and criminals be allowed to govern the state again.
Then, in an apparent reference to Senator Anyanwu who was seated after Hon. Ernest Ibejiakor near the governor, Okorocha told the crowd not to allow “a woman who slaps her husband in public to govern the state. You must not allow ono na di acho di (a married woman who has pleasure in sleeping around with other men) to govern or represent you anymore. You must not allow a slippers thrower to be your governor.
“When the time comes, we will tell you the people that will give you good governance. We will tell you the person that will be your senator; we will tell you the person that will be your House of Representatives member”
Earlier, the governor told the former Attorney General of the state and PDP governorship aspirant, Ken Njemanze (SAN) that his age grade is a retired one and that he had no business in active politics and governance.
He thanked the people of Owerri for donating lots of land for the development of the state capital, which said had now become the pride of the Eastern Heartland.
Senator Anyanwu did not know the import of the governor’s comments until he left the stage with the hundreds of supporters that trooped out to witness the occasion. It was then that the senator, who had wanted to tell the Owerri People some of her projects in the municipality, realized that her dignity had been tampered with.
She immediately rose up from her seat and started shouting to her aides “let’s go, let’s go”. As they were leaving, the senator was consoled by the member representing Owerri Federal Constituency, Ezenwa Onyewuchi and Hon. Ibejiakor. She was sited dampening tears in her eyes before entering her waiting car.

Politics is a dirty business the world over and one needs liver of steel..I hope Senator Anyanwu
takes this in her stride...If this is true oh!
Ghen ghen, epic shade !!
ReplyDeleteErmmmmn, but does she really slp her hubby?
DeleteThank u Anon 11:26. The exact question dt I wanted to ask. Okorocha's remarks were uncalled for but if they are true, then she deserves wat she got. Most of these female politicians are terrible. How can a married woman slap her own husband, and sleep around to d extent dt it becomes common knowlegde? That's just wicked of her!
DeleteVery useless woman the husband should have given her 2slaps in return. But I still don't like the governor though
DeletePROPAGANDA is a powerful tool in politics. Okorocha knows exactly how to deploy it.
DeleteHe tried it with the Oputa Family ..he tried to make himself good in the eyes of the people, and sell himself/ his government as caring and potray the Oputas as dependent on govt largess....and CHARLEY BOY served him a very HOT dish in response lol.
Chris is a female...hitting her from the sexual angle is the best way to make her appear "very-not-credible" before her people and Rochas the king of propaganda knows best how these things work.
Rochas weldone o. The laughable thing about you is that you want to be PRESIDENT...that your IMO Rescue campaign thing will NEVER work.
For all the gullible folks...keep beliving everything you read in the news.
Chris kpele ooo been there done that politics at every level is a really dirty game.
If this report is true then Rochas is a very stupid man..I dont know why he likes insulting women..D last time he labelled Igbo women as whores..Useless ass-poker..Bloody homosexual..Thunder fire him dia!
DeleteBut u guys r funny sha. Have u abused men for sleeping around? Or they dont slap their wives in public?? I beg leave the woman alone. Rochas was childish pure and simple
DeleteBut........ did she really slap her husband?
DeleteAbeg. All I know is that it is within themselves as politicians that see finish emanates. Your may say that he embarrassed her, which I quite agree. But some females are the reason some men without personal credibility of integrity spew thrash at us.
DeletePerhaps in her bid to remain in politics she involved herself in dirty shit or compromised her integrity which may be known to Okorocha. Why play into the hands of the enemy if u can't stand the heat? Whether he said the truth or not, the fact remains that he wouldn't have the confidence to rubbish her in public if the accusations are inaccurate. Over ambitious women should mind it. I love women empowerment and am not in any way a feminist.
Another one is Oby, too much of everything is not good. Best to respect oneself Biko.
If this is true then she deserves it slapping her husband in public .This is why some men won't let their wives be above them financially.
ReplyDeleteMr Lyca .
Hmmmm,when them dey share the money I no dey there,so it's none of my business!
ReplyDeleteRochas is the Useless one.
DeleteHe is not only a well known 419 net but has managed to incur the wrath of IMO state indigenes- IMO state is a civil service state, why deduct and reduce civil servant's salaries drastically and yet owe them for many months long?
All he does is build roads and set up structures that are not completed- why waste state funds?
At least when Ohakim was there, IMO state was clean- now you have the smelly gutters full of slimy mess- the state is so dirty and the drainage system is sth else considering how small the state is- every little shower results in great floods because there isn't any drainage systems
Or is it his Deputy governor- Madumere- the notorious home secular. AKA Rochas's fuck boy?
That one was caught by hon. Uche Raji's wife in bed with her husband on their trad day- occultic men, their lot!
Granted, Chris Anyanwu is an impossible woman, I remember she slapped a male politician sometime in 2012 whilst with her entourage on her way to Mbaise- but they are all birds of the same feathers.
Abeg, Rochas should just sit down- he is just a talker, he has the gift of gab but is useless.
U use all within ur power to fight ur political enemies. All is fair in politics if violence and death isn't involved. She wasn't d only one insulted. He kald som men there 419 too. She shld also strike bak by sayin pple shld nt vote again for a man who sleeps wit his special advisers
ReplyDeleteI agree. Okorocha is a male harlot!
DeleteWot r we saying? She also said all manner of things during d senate debate on d registration abi alleged plan by d gov 2 register non indigenes. @ a point I was lyk madam who asked u all these ones. So they should continue. She should go n prepare a robust comeback na them sabi.
DeleteThe question is: Are all or is there any of these allegations true?. She should answer or ever remain silent before the shouts of gender this gender that. What a man can do a woman do even better.
ReplyDeleteNa Wetin fit Anyanwu Mrs.
ReplyDeleteIf she indeed slapped her hubby
Or is frolicking with other men,
She deserves to be stripped naked and be forced to dance with her bare body in the market square to appease the gods of the land.
We Igbo women are known for our uprightness no matter our position in the society
Keep shaming husband batterers
While you make sense sometimes, other times you are just so insensitive and foolish. How would you like to be embarrassed publicly? I'm sure you've got some nasties we aren't aware of here on this blog but I pray someone exposes you and you are stripped naked and forced to dance with your bare body to appease your nonsensical gods. Hypocrite oshi, later you'll be quoting scripture.
DeleteHian if we r to do this to men then there will be no clothes married men. Abi at the wedding they said men can cheat but not women? Mamie u childish fa
Deleteandromeda can you slap your husband in public? can you cheat on him openly or secretly? If yes kparo lo
DeleteAnon 8:47, no I can't to both questions. What's your point exactly?
DeleteNawah ohh, how can he make such comments to a woman , calling her Ono na Di acho Di, what of his wife?
ReplyDeleteNawah ohh, how can he make such comments to a woman , calling her Ono na Di acho Di, what of his wife?
ReplyDeleteMr Lyca shut up. Her husband has worked for the World bank and consults for a lot of international organisations. He's a millionaire over and over again. It's Senator Anyanwu who can't be controlled and will do anything for power.
ReplyDeleteSince you kjow so much. Is the allegation true?
DeleteOkorocha and his methods shaa.
Tell us more since you know her well and if she sleeps around with men and why the effrontery to slap her husband in public or is that how your mother
Deleteslaps your father in public? Anon
Mr Lyca .
Anon 11;34am God bless you. She's COMPETELY uncontrollable! Collins Emeka I don't really know for sure where de slapping incident happened. I just wiSh that women in Politics can Comport themselves like Oby Ezekwesili, late Dora Akuyili, Ndy Okereke -Onyiuke,Ngozi Okonji-Iwuala and a handful of some other women too! Riches and wealth is good ooo,very good, but a good name, a wonderful, united, godly, lovely family is the BEST! God help us all, Amen.
DeleteIfy the only thing the women u mentioned have in common is ugliness, once a woman is ugly, no one cares if she sleeps around or not but once a woman is beautiful people already write her off n presume she sleeps around to achieve things.
DeleteAnon7:56pm you are indeed very very funny! Though I beg to defer, but You make sense scatter oooo!
DeleteDis is some serious shade! Na wah o!wot sort of woman slaps her hubby in public?

ReplyDeleteU dey mind the fool?
DeleteAnon 12:57..... Abeg nack us tory.....
DeleteAbeg gist us nah....
DeleteThe governor did not mention her name, how come she thinks the insults were hurled at her. Does she slap her husband, throw her slippers at people or sleep around?
ReplyDeleteI've read and seen Senator Chris Anyanwu's interviews lately and she comes across as rude and arrogant. I used to like her as a journalist, when she stood up to the military and did her job passionately. These days, she's either exchanging words with Kema Chikwe or blocking a governor's entourage. She should face her work in the Senate biko.
Is it anyone's biz uf she slaps her husband???
ReplyDeleteI know some men enjoy being slapped,some like to be wiped with belt,some like women wearing stilettos to walk all over them.maybe d man falls under d metioned category either way its nobody's biz.

DeleteKai! Okorocha finished the woman.
ReplyDeleteShe should not cry and should have expected it from that power drunk deceiver. she should go home and arrange her defense. The important thing is to make sure she is making good impact in her community and constituency so whatever trash okorocha says does not mean a thing. God will never the likes of him to occupy the central government cos they dont have anything to offer
ReplyDeletethat serve's mrs anyanwu good! do you know the number of commissioners she has slapped in the state?dat serve's her good for her stubbornes
ReplyDelete@Mr dumb Lyca what an idiot you are. No i won't tell you more stupid gossip man. you have no home training to mention my parents you wasted child born as a result of a burst condom. why must you believe what Okorocha said? Fool

Mr Lyca
@Mamie, which "god" do you worship? You quote the scripture and the next moment you're appeasing the gods of the land; why not choose one? The definition of this is Hypocrisy and it is not good.
ReplyDeleteHe didn't call names.. Is she guilty of the charges?
ReplyDeleteSugar daddy wanted
ReplyDeleteMake una leave mata for matadamus. Yes, most Nigerian politicians are useless (Rochas included), however I work for the Nigerian Senate and can authoritatively say Chris Anyanwu is a shame to womanhood and motherhood. Very rude, arrogant, and wicked woman with no iota of humanity. Turn over rate in her office na 100%. Her staff sef no dey last. With all her experience and pedigree you would expect more but whosai. Forming abroad trained as if say na phonetics her constituents go chop. She is wasting her time if she intends coming back to the Senate. Rochas sabi her market that's why he can insult her like that. She never even begin cry. Shebi she likes to slap she will start chopping her own soon...hiss
ReplyDeleteRochas staff? Redcross staff? Name?
DeleteGod bless anon 4;52pm, you are sooOoooooooooo correct oO!
Deletetrust nigerian men to cuss women out. that roc has should be shot already! fool!
ReplyDeleteBastard @mr Lyca. A maid is better than a bastard. Jealous mofo
ReplyDeleteIt so true she can do it.
ReplyDeleteWell never knew she was married until of late. I've bin privileged to do some transaction wt her somtime in 2006 dat was b4 she became a Senator & right there in her ofic @ Hot Fm Abuja, I didn't know wot a staff of hers did to her & she slapped d daylight out of d man, left & right & I was so disappointed in her, it didn't end there she went further & threw her medic glass & file on d guy & asked her PA Rowland to terminate d guys appointment wt som oda lady, I tried to calm her down but d more infuriated she became, I just knew den dat she's got bad temper she couldn't manage. I left her ofic bcs couldn't discuss further wt her bcs of her bad mood but on approaching d car she sent for me & apologised. Well it was a show of shame bcs dat was my 1st meeting her & u know dat 1st impression lives an indelible print, ever den my respect for her dropped bcs I don't appreciate a woman who slaps a man especially in public, no mata her status.
ReplyDeleteIf the accusations are true, then she deserves it cos I think they are true cos from comments here, she seems to be someone who has a bad temper and can't control it. And if she is innocent, then why is she crying and feeling guilty?
ReplyDeleteSenator Chris has not started crying,useless woman who doesn't pay her staffs salaries n cuts every opportunity for her staffs to make anything useful out of there lives.
ReplyDeleteShe has over a 100 staffs but she doesn't pay them well neither does she pay them pension for over 10years,useless rude woman.this is just the beginning,some of her ex staffs are planning to sue her.
Well done on point rochas although u no do well for imolites,dont come out for 2015 cos. Both of u will b disgraced
Na wa oh. Was this woman cursed with the spirit of SLAPPING?
ReplyDeleteFOLKS, THIS IS WHAT THE SENATOR SAID TODAY ABOUT THE ISSUE. FANTASTIC
ReplyDeleteOur attention has been drawn to a number of social media blogs and commentaries linking the name of Distinguished Senator Chris Anyanwu to the primitive outburst of the Imo State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, at last week’s Oru Owere ceremony.
Ordinarily, the governor’s outburst does not merit a response from the Distinguished Senator, as Mr. Okorocha did not mention any names, and because the caricature he painted did not fit into the character make-up of Senator Anyanwu.
However, out of respect for feelings of concerned friends, supporters and well-wishers of the Senator at the antics of the social media which have persisted in speculating who the governor could have been referring to in the outburst, we would like to state the following:
• There are more than one female politicians who have indicated interest to contest for the position of Governor of Imo State in the 2015 general elections and it is interesting to note that the governor did not have the courage to publicly name the particular aspirant he had in mind – because he knows the consequences;
• The governor was conforming to the typical stereotype where strong, achievement-oriented women in politics are frightened off with labels and are often held to standards that their male counterparts are not; in their warped thinking, any woman who has broken the glass ceiling through solid achievement – in the professions or in business – must have cut corners to make it, and not because she has brains as well as entrepreneurial and managerial capacity.
• The governor’s romance with the microphone and tendency to shoot off the mark is legendary – the reason why his hosts now consider snatching the equipment from him and his aides turn apprehensive whenever he gets up to make a public speech!
• Apart from being a proud daughter of Owerri Zone, Senator Anyanwu was specially invited to the event to be honoured as Omenma Owerri because of the numerous projects she has attracted or single-handedly built in her constituency, including the venue of the event where the outburst was made. The governor could not therefore have come to her home as it were to dish out insults.
Finally we would like to state that the Imo State Governorship Elections in 2015 must be about issues and about Imo State – what each aspirant or candidate can or has brought to the table, and how this will impact or has impacted on the life of Imo citizens. It should not be about a tiny clique of politicians desperate for power and willing to do everything to gain or retain it, including desecrating tradition, insulting their hosts, breaching protocols to engage in rabble rousing, and generally conducting themselves in manners unbecoming of their high office. This should not be the character that Imo people want to see of their future leaders, whether at Douglas House or elsewhere.
fantastic!
