I do not know why Imo State governor decided to spend tax payers money to erect a statue while some of their roads are not in good condition. I have been thinking about this statue and what story I could tell my children when they ask why a South African president's statue is in Imo State. We would like to see statues of people who has contributed to the development of Imo, so that we will emulate them. I will also like to see those roads repaired and workers paid as at when due. Maybe with that, someone, someday will remember and make a statue of Mr Rochas. The truth is our legacy will leave after us.
What is wrong with our leaders, it is as if they do not even care what happens when they are not around, or how they will be remembered. That position you are occupying will be some one else tomorrow and you can not live forever. It is time to consider what happens to us and the kind of legacy we live.
