Youre right. Oruche is common in anambra. Arondizuogu is almost anambra. Some towns in anambra have cousins in imo, like iseke and osumenyi.

Yes. My mom told me my grandmothers singing group used to travel from Oyi to orlu to teach them songs and vice versa. I think it was the british that created the geopolitical subzones, like we had the orlu div, awka div, and so on, which eventually metamorphosed into states. The orlu zone is more alike to southern anambra in culture and dialect than the the owerri zone.

The highlighted is very correct.

Orlu zone shares little to no cultural relationship with Owerri zone which shares more cultural relationship with the Ikwere in Rivers state.
Orlu zone should have had Njaba State when the last state creation took place, but the sixth state of the SE zone was taken to the NW for a 7th state in the NW zone.

Today, Orlu zone is the most shortchanged in development in Nigeria due to the aforementioned factors.
Owerri zone does not regard Orlu zone as part of Imo state and clutches tight to every development project in the state.

Despite that development imbalance orlu has more personalities than owerri zone. Orlu zone has many big businessmen.

But to even that imbalance, orlu zone has also had more govs than owerri zone, they ought to have pulled their weight to develop orlu and okigwe.

The recent underdevelopment of Orlu zone resulted from the fact that the last two governors from Orlu zone - Okorocha and Uzodinma - perceive political enemies in main Orlu who they punish.

Youre very correct. Uzodinma v Okorocha, uzodinma v ugo chinyere, all orlu zone. Thats one thing they need to understudy from anambra politics where in recent years, political fights are not reduced to personal vendettas. Anambra was able to rise from the ashes of the mbadinuju era to create an atmosphere where politics is restriced to just being a game of wits, and thats when politics is at its sweetest.

Highlighted is correct.
Using political office for personal vendetta against perceived foes in Orlu ruined Rochas Okorocha in his 2nd term as governor, and finally ended his politics.
Hope Uzodinma has faired worse with similar vendetta. For now, Uzodinma is depending on federal forces to hold Imo voters in custody so that false election results shall be written on his favour for his 2nd term.

Uzodinma has also divided opposition. Pdp is divided. Lp is divided.

Even if the opposition in Imo state is divided into ten factions, that will not make gov Hope Uzodinma win reelection, if the election is free and fair.

Uzodinma is more forceful and combative than okorocha.


Where would the capital of the hitherto proposed njaba state have been?
