The hotel challenges the boundaries between the public and private, between the interior and the exterior. It is an oval-shaped structure with glass on all sides to fuse the interior and exterior, and the hotel features a strong division and a strong connection between public and private. Communal areas at entry levels are connected by a garden, to two 15-storey towers which house all the private units.

Abagworo: Owerri hotel now on the 9th floor.

IGBO-SON:


^^^I'll start taking interest in this and Rochas other landmark projects when i see pics of appreciable progress being made!

The foundation for this was laid since last year, yet no updates; which only tells me that it's been abandoned.

Afam4eva:
Whenever i think of Anambra, what comes to mind is Onitsha and Nnewi. Why can't those towns/cities be turned into economic giants by putting in place the necessary machinery to put these towns in a pedestal that will make it compete with any major city in Africa or the world. Onitsah and Nnewi are underutilised and the human resources of Anambra is also under-utilized. By now Anambra should be the pride of not just Nigeria but Africa. That's why we need to vote in someone like Chukwuma Soludo into the governorship seat. Because it's a shame that an Anambra will expect accolades for building some rural roads and abandoning the majore cities and towns.

berem: These hotels springing up in every nook and cranny of Owerri is becoming annoying. Its not as if Owerri is a tourist centre. What really attracts people to lodge in hotels in the city? The construction of hotels should be banned and let people divert their resources in other sectors.

asha 80: there is no stopping building of hotels in owerri because it is lucrative...attraction?ngwori simple.

berem: what is ngwori?
You want to tell me no other business apart from hotel business will be lucrative in Owerri?

Abagworo: Owerri hotel now on the 9th floor.

phantom: abagworo^^^^^^ is that really orlu or some parts of owerri? ......if it is,orlu is changing o!!!!

Abagworo: More pics coming. A lot of people are in Imo seeing things for themselves. There's hold up everywhere including rural areas.

asha 80: awaiting pics from rural pics which is where i am more interested in.

Abagworo:

Aren't Orlu and Nekede rural areas?

Afam4eva: If that's Orlu then whoever says Rochas is not working deserves to get themselves checked. I wanmt to see the major towns in Imo state acquire a city status and of international standard. I must commend Rochas for taking it upon himself to do something about Okigwe and Orlu which have been neglected for a long time that a song was even composed for both cities...Obodo nile emepesiala ofo ndi Okigwe na Orlu. That song will become history very soon.

phantom: yet people will come here and say the south east is the least developed meanwhile every nook and cranny is seeing some level of development.i wish the state govt can site something important in the mbaise area.that lga is too damn big.should be a state on its own.

Abagworo:

Aren't Orlu and Nekede rural areas? Most roads connecting communities are either complete or have reached reasonable stages but they are not dualized hence my lack of interest in snapping them. I only snapped that FUTO road because it made headlines.

asha 80: taa gbafuo lol....what abour ohaji egbema that is almost two times that of mbaise?
