Is this not the kidnapping capital of Nigeria?

Who said so?

Imo is one of the peaceful states in Nigeria, with low crime rate and well educated citizenry. The kidnapping saga was a political creation by the political bigwigs of the state.

The Nigerian London, owerri


I can see that your standard is very low to call this Nigeria london. Poor road marking, contruction , surveying and I can go on, we have to learn to do things the modern way and stop praising low standard work

awesome

Imagine this guy saying a narrow tarred road is awesome, I can't understand these NLers, what is awesome about this? In virtually all state, u can take pictures of beautiful places in one state and give an impression that everywhere looks like that. c'mon, see th same guy saying London, This guy is up to something sarcastic. He is trying to coerce ppl into believing what he want them to believe.

I mean what is spectacular in showing picture of flowers and grass on road sides, the edges of the road is not even properly finished and above all, no drainage. Such a highway without drainage, Shame! don't u know that roads in London are drained from the underground? All u need is just a heavy downpour and the grass and the flower will be washed away.

U know foreigners are hanging on this NL too, dont let them think we are so cheap pls.

There is no standard of living in Imo State o!! The highest employer of labour in the state still remains the government seconded by banks, 

They are so poor that the government subsidies kerosene and distributes it house to house,
