Chillypelly:


I understand you are an unrepentant indigene of orlu judging from the arguements you present that contain words of hate. Can you ask why aba for abia, onitsha for anambra, warri for delta, suleja for niger and auchi for edo has been able to sustain themselves without waiting for the feeding bottle federalism orlu enjoys from Imo funds. Please read more books and expand your narrow and shallow reasoning cap.

Hate? Go back from the beginning of your comments here: You created hate from your first evidently ignorant comment and others. You did that through your apparent belief that anything Imo state owns must be in your Owerri land alone - other cities must be strange in Imo state, and must be stopped from emerging. If YOU HAVE EVER TRAVELED OUTSIDE OWERRI to other lands outside Imo state, you must discover that rapid development in a state is not meant for the state capital alone. But you -like many of your Owerri folk - STRONGLY BELIEVE that all there is for development in a state must be the state capital alone. Go to neighboring Anambra state, for example, government development-inducing projects are scattered all over Nnewi, 'Osha, Awka, even the smaller towns benefit. But in Imo state, it is the state capital alone, people like you love that.

Does one need to repeat that since 1976, Owerri's development has been mainly from government handouts as well as from money brought into it from the myriad number of students in it?

Six schools in one small owerri,how about other local govt's,like ngor/okpala and many more LGA's in imo state.Six schools in one small owerri,how about other local govt's,like ngor/okpala and many more LGA's in imo state.Six schools in one small owerri,how about other local govt's,like ngor/okpala and many more LGA's in imo state.

I give up!!! Infact Orlu is the best thing that happened to Imo state and nigeria as a whole. I will work with every orlu indigene to see that IMSU and atleast one of the federal institutions is relocated to Orlu the heartbeat of the Igbo struggle. I will even encourage the federal government to dualize the orlu-owerri, orlu-oru and the orlu-okigwe road to allow it assume its rightful place as the true state capital of Imo state. I urge God to please relocate the crude oil in oguta, ngor okpala and ohaji to orlu soil to consummate the orlu mega city masterplan... Shekina.

The six "institutions" in Owerri are all local in comparison to institutions around the world. This is not an indictment on the students, even though as by association, they too, cannot enjoy what their peers in Canada and even South Africa dey enjoy.
