I don't mean imo state govt doing all that but they can facilitate it, it's a federal govt project of course.
The truth remains that a lot of Ph residents are frustrated by congestion but they are helpless as they neither can leave their job nor find a close city to live while they still work in ph.

I am not based in Imo state my brother. I hope to travel next month though. I promise to bring pictures.

emmysoftyou:
ur. Comment sound like someone who is fed up of orlu environs due to epileptic power supply..

Abagworo:


Thats Nigeria for you. The villagers are willing to pay but Jonathan sold power distribution to Emeka Offor and Sambo who are part of the subsidy mafia. They have deliberately blocked Geometric plant in Aba from functioning as well as frustrate power supply in the Southeast. Those errors shall be corrected by Buhari insha Allah.

Abagworo:


Obigbo is 10 minutes drive, Obehie is 15 minutes and Aba is 25 minutes. Owerri is over 1hour drive away.

that's a major reason I don't like visiting my village. That's the truth!

There may be changes or rectification of electrifying problems..

To all igbos who can read this, please we need to chat a new path. This attack on your fellow brother just for personal gains should be a thing of the past. This plant built by prof. Barth Nnaji is for greater igbo, he is from Enugu but chose Aba to build this plant to help boost the manufacturing effort being made igbos in Aba. Why can't Emeka offor find another place and build his, he can still go through the necessary process with the federal govt and build another one, probably in onitsha and boost the commerce there. We, igbos, would have rained blames on Prof Nnaji if he had built this plant outside igbo land, this is the kind of things that chase igbos away and make them invest outside igbo land. We need to stop these bitter treatments we give to ourselves. This is one of the major reason that lead to his quiting ministerial work, yet they are still frustrating him and suffering the masses. personally, i find this sort of stories quite disheartening!! It kills my igbo spirit!

Welcome home bro. I have just 2 questions that have lingered so long.

1 is what use is Ohaneze if Igbo issues cannot be settled by them?

2 why have Igbos not condemned the sale of Enugu disco to Northerners Namadi Sambo, IBB with Emeka Offor acting as a crony?

Every higher institution including Madonna have prosttution rings. Never attempt to claim its an IMSU thing. Many of the girls you meet in Owerri are from schools in Enugu, Port Harcourt, Awka, Benin and Abia.

Does it ever question our consciences: when we show hotels upon hotels in Owerri - a city which has no up-scale industry - what are the hotels used for?

My dear, I believe most people on this forum are young and will soon take up those positions. Let's forget the failures of our elders and chat a new path, let's carry a greater advancement of igbo tribe in our hearts, we need to work together otherwise we keep having pockets of small and incohesive developments as obtainable in igboland, today.

BuddahMonk:
Bros its a very shameful thing that the isSue is yet to be resolved by those people till this moment but one thing people fail to understand is the processes in power.

In power you have the Generating companies, the transmmission companies and the distribution companies.

Berth Nnaji was granted license for generating but not distributing, he has GenCo while Emeka Offor have the license for distribution but not generating that is why he has EEDC.
Now EEDC covers the entire SE geopolitical zone, there is no way you can generate power and distribute without seeking approval from EEDC who won the bid and have the monopoly to distribute in the entire SE. How do you think Nnaji will sell his power to consumers without distributing it if not supplying to coys that distribute to homes and factories.

Had Nnaji won the bid for EEDC then he would have merged his GenCo with his Disco and everything is sorted out but its unfortunate that nobody seems to care in Igboland about what is going on between the two Igbo sons, even the governor of the state where the massive investment is located is sleeping on the issue like he is sleeping on the city.
If this investment were to be a state where the government is decisive and proactive he would have wade into the matter and resolve the whole thing but its unfortunate such investment is just lying there like that wasting away.

Some people have already blaming politicians and foreigners for every misunderstanding that occurs in East, its very shameful how we reason and always blame others for our woes.

emmysoftyou:
yes bro , yyou re totally right..
The problems with most igbos is that the state thing is the symptom why some re affected and confuse that igbos re not the same,if they re the same,some re greater and wiser than others..

With these impression or mentality some igbos possesses led to disunity among ndigbos..
An anambra kids will see development going on in imo state and still denied it and figured out a fault,and label it as not developed.
An imo man will see development in anambra state and still find fault to condemn it totally..

And This is totally absurd.
Cos
Brothers competing with brothers,sisters laying harsh words altogether ..


All in the name of am from anambra state,we re different,am from imo state we re unique,etc..
Na wa o..


God bless the federal republic of igboland...

Obigbo is 10 minutes drive, Obehie is 15 minutes and Aba is 25 minutes. Owerri is over 1hour drive away.

HopeAtHand:


Abagworo, the correct name and spelling is Oyigbo..

Igbos shouldn't unnecessarily change the names of Towns in Rivers else we may be forced to 'attend to your matter'.

.....and i wonder how any any morally upright human should brag about the proliferation of Hotels as an achievement, esp in a city that looks ordinary and has little economic power.

Abagworo, your argument that Owerri has numerous hotels because Owerri is a hospitality destination is wicked on your part as you seek to downplay the prostitution industry goin on in Owerri.

The average mindset of a PH guy is that Owerri is a town for fun..You go there for easy and relativy cheap sex in good hotels....it is just what it is...You cant do anything about it but atleast say it as it is.

lol... I once came to owerri for dat same reason, but I didn't see any gal dat meets dat criteria... most of the ladies I met dress decent... and I just don't know y I normally hv dz thinking dat decent girls re no go area... for such kind of stuffs... I was looking for d bitchy types like sm gals I ve met in Aluu... but I never saw them... pls where re dz gals that ppl re always talking abt.

Abagworo:


And who is more PH than Mazi Abagworo? Sex is much cheaper in PH than Owerri and there is higher prostitution here if I may say but Port Harcourt is not a holiday destination. When we talk of industries its Aba, Otta and Nnewi that comes to mind. That there are barely few consumer products producing industries in Port Harcourt does not take away the fact that it is the target destination for oil industry investors.


As for you trying to twist Obigbo into Oyibo, the attempt failed as the indigenes kept Obigbo even after the forced name change. Obigbo is 100% Igbo in every damn thing and that is why it has been neglected by successive governments.

BuddahMonk:
I don't understand the path your drifting seriously, there is nothing wrong with competing with one another as wrong as its healthy.
The reason why Igbos are nt happy in Nigeria is that the cesspit of a country doesn't encourage competition that is why a kid from Anambra will score 139 to gain admmission and a kid from Yobe will score 2 to gain admission as well.

Igbos generally are competitive in nature and you can't take that away from them. Obosi people saw that Onicha people were ahead of them academically and started sending their wards to school in order to rival their neighboring town, Nnewi saw that Onicha people dominated government jobs because of the their education induced white collar nature and invested in enterprenuership inorder to help accelerate the development of their town today Nnew is marching on.

These are called healthy competitions and I don't consider it retrogresive and repulsive. That we are Nigeria does not mean we must live like every other Nigeria ethnic group. Go to all the markets in Nigeria and see how Igbos are competing with themselves and nobody is whinning, let's compete with one another because competition breeds excellence

tonychristopher:
Hopeathand is a lazy ikwerre man and we Igbo have disclaimed them ..that aside

Proliferation of hotel is not a bad idea and its called tourism and hospitality industry and its OK. That aside today if you go to Dubai las Vegas Monaco macan and other cities they are hotel based cities so hotel is industry and I support it ..its better than no industry

Owerri is hospitality of east
Enugu the administrative of east
Nnewi the enginnering of east
Onitsha the business hub of the east
Aba the manufacturing hub of east
Uguta the lakeside of east
Ebonyi the agricultural hub of the east
Orlu the pharmaceutical hub of east
Umuahia has not been categorized

This is basics of division of labour in east and we are okay with it

The oil hub can be used for uguta and our brothers in etche and Niger Delta Igbo excluding ikwerre

We don't want them and tgeir laziness
