Mmuo Okija, seriously --- You're pissing off a lot of people.

I have one question for your though, are you really biased when it comes to Imo state, or anything Igbo in general?

I really don't know about him having a general Igbo bias except that he's usually critical of anything Igbo. Though i know he has a negative bias for Owerri maybe because of Rochas or something else. I'm not sure. But i'm giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Does he favor Peter Obi or any SE governor?

Not really but i've seen him curse out Owerri before especially Rochas. Though i don't really think he's big on the whole Igbo thingy.
Re: Okija Presents Owerri..... (pictures) by Nobody: 6:46pm On Dec 11, 2012
But why are you guys trying to cover with a finger the salient points in Okija_juju pictures? All he is saying that there is still a lot of work to be done by Rochas.

To me and every other fair minded person, that is a fair assessment, instead of you guys to commend the guy, you lot are busy crucifying the dude.

I actually think Okija Juju is "biased" against igbo states in general, well- If "biased" is the right word to use.

His other picture thread comparing Calabar/Uyo vs rural Anambra comes clearly to mind.



You did the comparison not me...

I posted a picture of my own village sef on that thread... Did you see me showing you pictures of Sky scrappers and manicured lawns?!

Bia!! Onwe ife na eme gi na isi sef?! Should we be fighting if our states and villages look bad?! Shouldnt it be a call to arms against our leaders?!

I posted horrible pictures from the National Museum in Calabar on that thread.. I only take pictures of the places I pass.. Biko hapu'm aka.. Whats your problem.. I have asked if those photos were doctored?! If not then whats your fhucking problem? IMO state is dirty... Orlu looks like one big abandoned construction site.. All Rochas seems to be doing is building gates on every street in Imo state..

What you see here is what I saw... Nothing staged, nothing doctored..

If you are ashamed of these photos, take it up with Rochas.. He is the one fhucking you Imolites up the a~ss not me..
Re: Okija Presents Owerri..... (pictures) by Nobody: 6:48pm On Dec 11, 2012
In his defense - pretty much all Nigerian governors could do better.

However the patterns to his pictures and portrayals are rather....interesting.

Imo State .... Sort of..

Reason: My undiluted hatred for Rochas and his band of rather blind supporters (IMO).. It has nothing to do with Imo State folks.. This is purely Political..

Anambra State.. I am neutral.. I think Peter Obi is a big ball sack.. The roads I drove on from Onitsha to Akwa is enough to open a 5 page picture thread.. So horrible, I couldnt even hold the steering with one hand and take photos like I would normally do..

Abia.. Hmm.. Any Igbo man happy with the state of Abia in general should be caught and sacrificed to Arochukwu..

Ebonyi.... No comments


I am Igbo, I cant hate myself.. But if you expect me to come out and lie about what I saw when I visited these states.. I wont. Owerri as seen in those photos are what I saw when I went there.. Even if I didnt take pictures, if you visited yourself, you would still have seen same.
Re: Okija Presents Owerri..... (pictures) by Nobody: 6:52pm On Dec 11, 2012
I neither claimed that you doctored anything nor claimed that the pictures you are taking are giving false portrayals.

I was just trying to clear the air about whether this was an Imo/Rochas "bias" or not.

I'm not an imolite by the way.

He's the most sensible because he gives you what you want, right? Maybe if someone shows us a rundown part of Abeokuta, i'll also say he's the most sensible Yoruba folk.

How is an undoctored photograph a false portrayal?!


Lets make a bet.. you fix the price.. I give you from today till sunday.. Take a camera, adjust the setting to show the dates on the pictures, go around Owerri, take pictures of these places I passed and show me something different.. then go to the places I missed and bring me photos as well..

If there is a clear difference, I will pay you the price we agreed.. If not, you pay me.. SIMPLE

Oh I see that Okija_Juju admits to an anti-Rochas bias.

I am not necessarily anti-Rochas.. But I am definitely not one of those that have been bought over by his smooth talking..

Mind you.. I am not a politician, nethier do I work for the government in any way or form.. I am also not from Imo state...

Look at the mirror and tell me you don't qualify for what you accuse me of. I may not be the most objective person but i try as much as possible to be. Though i won't give up my tribal affiliation for anything.

The point is simple my dear.. These are photographs, not a novel..

I can lie in a novel, I can doctor a picture, but clearly these are not.. So even if I have my bias, it counts for nothing here as this is indeed how Owerri actually looked when I visited..


If I went into Owerri, defaced the place and took pictures of it, then we can talk about bias.. If Owerri were to be the 'mini-london' that Rochas and his band of merry praise singers claim, try as I might, I will still not be able to hide it..



My dear.. IMO state needs rescuing indeed.. And whatever Rochas is doing, clearly isnt working.

DivideUs: and people de shout north this north that, i have been to sokoto, katsina, kano, kaduna and zamfara and apart from zamfara and some parts of kaduna (cos this yakowa guy is a disappointment) that i'll take on same level as your pictures, the remaining states are by far better than this owerri

no wonder with all the noise these igbos are everywhere down here even with BH

My thought exactly. My poor old Yola (Adamawa state capital) looks better than this dirty slum looking place called owerri.

okija or what? you should be ashamed of yourself, next time dont go passing info of things you know nothing of. imagine the heartache for those of use that have not been to imo before. and some idiots have started comparing it with some backward states in the north that can only boast of fed govt roads. mtchewwwwww idiotic okija

and who is dis sayin dat all gud road in d North are FG road. My guy, FYI even in kano nw many FG roads its d state gov that is constructin it. Kano has a better good road and gud road network dan d entire SE road. I serve in Anambra and i knw hw horrible roads are in there. As Okija said, dat Onitsha Awka road is horrible horrible. Wenever i follow dat road instead of followin Abagana, Abatete road, i always hav headache and feel dissy cos of hw d road is.
Though am nt frm d North bt has been livin in d north for d pass 20 years, stop callin North backward, dey hav better tins dat south dont hav. Goad roads, affordable accomodation and schools includin higher inst, cheap food and low crime rate (b4 dis issue of BH).

Remove all the pictures you took inside that Federal college of education. You made it seem like you were driving on the streets of Owerri and again you labeled one as Imo State school while its Federal university of education. You can't go to UnIAbuja and snap inside the campus as Abuja. Show us the Alvan gate where the school meets the township opposite FMC. And my pictures are very recent.

@Okija - stop replying anyone that is harrassing you. Just post your pictures, make your comments and retire. I have long learnt that you can never satisfy everyone. If you had posted all beautiful pictures, people will come out and say you are lying and that you should post the 'real' pictures. Now that you have posted the 'real' pictures, people are complaing about the quality and so on.

Dude, you are getting a taste of what it is like to rule Nigerians - when in fact, you are only dealing with those from Owerri. Imagine if you have all the tribes and languages and religions arguing with you.

Those pictures were not doctored: FACT!

Those Pictures show that some parts of Owerri still suffer from lack of govt attention : FACT

Those pictures can help us tell the governor to work harder: FACT.
