The highest paid dowry state. I pity most ladies from Imo state(am sorry ooo if affected) just been concerned.

I have always known u guys from other LGAs in the state don't like ohaji/egbema LGA, my LGA. We (with oguta LGA) play a huge role in putting u in the map of oil producing states oh. Cos I don't see why u will not mention the great Sam okwaraji, legend of Nigerian football.

And just so you know, kelechi iheanacho is our proud son. Ihaji/egbema rocks

Get ur facts right, Kanu Nwankwo grew up in owerri but hails from Arochukwu Lga of Abia state.

KANU sees himself as an IMO man and that's why he has most of his assets in imo. he also built his family mansion in owerri.

With this your big teeth??

I'm wowed by all I have seen from this thread and the deltan thread.However,what makes a man/woman great is not where you come from but your ability to fulfil your destiny(God's purpose for creating you).He also has a reason for giving you a particular parentage.
Since I learned,Job 32:9a which says:Great Men are NOT ALWAYS Wise..and discovering 2 Cor. 10:12, I softpedalled on somethings.
Here on Earth,what will distinguish you?Methink Your Uniqueness,Your Originality imbued with Godly values.
Moreover,Your State should be thankful to God for having you not you being grateful belonging to a State.
If You've met Jesus,how many of your people have met Him?
The culture/customs of your community,who did you think established them?humans like you. Can you be the improvement needed or continue in the established norm?
Finally,some of those celebrated here got to where they are through dishonest means.Would you like such legacies for your children?If it doesn't matter now,what about when it matters-When you meet your Maker.

Summary,You have what You have for a purpose.You are where you are for a purpose.You know what you know,for a purpose.Whether you like it or not,you'd give account.

Quite correct presentation, Professor Mobisson was drafted from UNN to pioneer the ESUT Computer Dept. where he built the African Computer. His wife Mrs Mobisson was a lecturer too at UNN and was in the General Studies Dept. As a child Jidenma and his Sister was sometimes seen around the General Studies Dept. at UNEC with his mom. I am glad they are doing very well.

Wow ..never knew She lived in Nigeria sef

What of the founder of ABC transport?you will be cheating this thread, if you dont add him

Mbaise remains the most successful community or people in Imo state, followed by Orlu, Mbano and Owerri.

In Nigeria, Nnewi, Mbasi, Ile-Ife and Ijebu seems to be the most successful, popular and creative people in Nigeria.

I am sure Anambra profile will give Imo State a run...Anambra should be the number one state in Nigeria with the most prominent and successful people in all spheres of life.

Note: I am not from Anambra, but I love their financial success spirit, just like Mbaise people

i disagree...Nkwere remain the most sucessful people from imo state...I represent Ikeduru L.G.A. We try small

hurricaneChris:


U said ur surname is Okeahialam?
Are you from Umuelegwa Onicha Mbaise? Or Obizi Mbaise? I know two families in these villages with that surname.

Umuelegwa + okehialam =Eze okehialam
Obizi + okehialam= lambic tech
Amudi+ okehialam = okechukwu okehialam (now late)

Wow!!

Op, this is a crappy list! If you want to do something, do it well. Imo got a very intimidating list. Do your research well and stop giving us names of students.

that's great to know

Abagworo:
Dr Alban

Dr. Alban was born as Alban Uzoma Nwapa into a
middle-class family of 10 children in Oguta , Imo state,
Nigeria. He had his secondary education at Christ The
King College, Aba, Nigeria and spent most of his youth in
his hometown Oguta. At age of 23, he travelled to
Sweden to study dentistry .

To be able to finance his studies, Dr. Alban became a DJ. He worked as a DJ at the Stockholm club Alphabet Street . [1] Very quickly his
name became widely known, especially since Dr. Alban
often sang to the records he put on the turntable. DJ
René Hedemyr discovered him. Alban finished his studies
and even opened his own dentistry practice, keeping his
disk jockeying as a lucrative sideline.


In 1990, he met Denniz Pop from the SweMix label and
together with Denniz and Rap-Queen Leila K , they
released his first record, "Hello Afrika". Alban Uzoma
Nwapa took the stage name Dr. Alban, a nod to his
dental studies. His debut album Hello Afrika included hits
like " Hello Afrika" and " No Coke", both of which ended up
being million-selling singles. The album itself was
quite successful which earned Alban Gold-certification-
awards in numerous markets including Germany (for
sales of over 250,000 units), Austria (for sales of over
25,000 units) and Switzerland (for sales of over 25,000
units).

One year later this success was surpassed by the second
album One Love . The album contained European hit
singles such as " It's My Life" (which was used as
background music for a Tampax advert) and " Sing
Hallelujah ". The single "It's My Life" reached No.1 in
Israel, Austria , the Netherlands , Sweden , Germany and
No.2 in Norway, Switzerland, the United Kingdom. [8][9]
[10] While the song "It's My Life" reached Platinum
status in Germany (for sales of over 500,000 units), in the
Netherlands (for sales of over 75,000), it managed to sell
over two million copies in Europe.

I guess he's the younger bro to Flora nwapa coz both hails from the same place and bears the same surname

That's a lie bro....Anambra has the highest number of successful business men or you can say its the home of Business but not the Number 1 state. Anambra is no where near Ogun self not to talk of Imo state.
