Should we call it an economic movement for the emancipation of the Nigerian Naira and Kobo for the betterment of the common masses of the Nigerian citizenry or should we call an economic revolution that will change the economic narratives as we have presently in the nation.
On whichever side of the coin one may decide to turn towards, it is imperative and obvious that we cannot shy away from the many sided multifaceted national issues bordering on the nation at this time, ranging from insecurity as banditry, kidnapping, herdsmen clashes, terrorism, and what have you, to the issues of injustice, poverty, alarming unemployment, rape cases and gender vices ,corruption, the call for constitutional review and amendment, devolution of powers, the clamor for a national dialogue, striking workers, cessation, restructuring for true federalism, economic recession, failing health and educational institutions, deprivation and marginalization, abuse of judicial laws and court orders,etc.
With all these multiclusters of national issues bedeviling our nation, we must also recognize that the Naira and Kobo are not left out in this bandage of national chaos and fragmented crisis threating the unity and development of the nation.
Kobo Must Return is an economical movement that will rescue our nation’s economy from the shambles of economic retrogression that has continually faced itself over the decades irrespective of various administrations economical formulation in curbing this economic menace.
Owelle Anayo Rochas Okorocha, the senator Imo West APC, has consistently proposed the move for the return of the Kobo use in our nation’s economy. Postulating his believe for an new Nigeria where the common man on the street can afford a three square meal in a day and where a common newspaper vendor could afford a car of his own and still be a seller of newspaper and not in hunger, a new Nigeria economy where the pepper seller in our local markets can afford to train their children and wards in the best university anywhere in the country without fear of affording the fees even as a pepper seller.
This is the Rochas Okorocha Theory and movement for the emancipation of the Nigeria Naira and Kobo, the Kobo Must Return back into the hands of the masses as our exchange for a better economy.
An economy where we can compete with the rest of the world in exchange rates, an economy that will give credibility to our green passport anywhere in the world.
A dream of a better naira and kobo economy that will make our exports attractive and competitive with other currencies of nations.
The Nigeria Naira and Kobo has been held down in economic captivity and slavery to other currencies of the nations, it is time for the freedom of the naira and kobo ,the freedom of the naira and kobo is the freedom of the Nigeria economy and relatively the freedom of the economy of the common masses in our nation, freedom from poverty and hunger, corruption, injustice and economic dichotomy between the rich and the poor.
Owelle Rochas believes that if this country must divide for any reason then it must be divided between the rich and the poor, it is not only about ethnic division lines but economic division lines between the rich and the poor, the rich man in the north is the same as the rich man in the south, so also the poor man in the south is the same as the poor man in the north, they are all hungry because the Nigeria Naira and Kobo is in economic captivity and will need a deliverer to achieve its freedom.
The road to Kobo Must Return is the road map for a stronger Naira and kobo as we had it just after our independence, a better and stronger economy is possible with the Rochas Okorocha Theory.
We have seen five hundred naira note bill, we have seen the one thousand naira bill, it is been rumored of the five thousand naira bill, this is disastrous in the lame man’s understanding of our depleted economy, the way forward is not higher naira notes bills, it has not helped our economy, the panacea still lies in looking back to where we are coming from and that is the road for recovery as a nation in our economy.
