millionaire this your picture is over 10years old.

millionaireman:
berem, I cannot sell my town for a plate of porridge.
This pit below was dug near St Joseph Catholic Church at the centre of Orlu by Okorocha govt to collect flood. The pit remains, but flood problems have worsened since the pit was dug.
Let me break it down to some people in A,B,C form: what is required is a duct or gutter to channel those floods to a nearby Ogidi valley less than 1 km from where the floods collect - not this pit.

Abagworo, I think understands what I mean here.

Late Gov. Ikwechegh started the drainage system. And without the drainage system completed, a short time from now, more of the roads in Orlu on display here now shall be washed away.

oga stop deceiving people here, the above pix is the current state of drainage system. Pls tell that st. Joseph parish to renovate their church it's not govt that will renovate it for them. The church looks very old but it's not flooded as claimed by you, i have it's pix but will post it later cos I'm busy now.

For the road complained by Abagworo, ie judis road, it's completed now but has been taken over by mechanics. What Orlu roads need now is road marking and sweeping, but not painting the center divider.

bia nwoke m,please kindly travel to Orlu and get current pictures. Stop posting old pictures you got from the internet to deceive yourself. You continuous posting of old pictures means you haven't been to Orlu in ages.
Stop hating on Rochas simply because the avenue in which you steal Imo state money has been blocked.

God bless Rochas Okorocha!

A lot of people do not also know that Stavivo aluminium door hinges better known as "Chief" is manufactured in Orlu. Maybe because the head office is in Lagos. The factory is at Amaifeke in Orlu Imo State.

My joy at this moment is that it is no longer all about Owerri like it was in the past. All tbe banks now have branches in Orlu and even other villages around Orlu which is a clear sign of spread development. New industries are also springing up there as well as other adjoining towns like Umuaka, Nwaorieubi and Ubomiri.

Here is picture of Rochas model school and some glimpse of Nkume town just South of Orlu in Njaba LGA.

Yesterday i drove round Orlu with friends and it rained that yesterday but i couldn't see any flooding around that st. Joseph.

Below is the:
-Orlu city drainage system which has long been completed and it looks very old and can contain a large volume of water.
-The size of gutter being built in Orlu by the present administration , and this is how they did it for all the roads they constructed in Orlu which can hold large volume of water. You can see how dry it looks though it rained yesterday.
-Road around st. Joseph which you've complained many times that normally flooded whenever it rains.

Never wanted to comment on this thread.

But with this mr man, you lied and accuse someone else of lying.

That st. Joseph normally get flooded whenever it rains, not just a serious rain but 2mins rain. Abagowro actually knows this that's why he mistook st joseph for st augustine, why don't u snap the double two storey buildings behind st joseph? People in that compound have packed out due to flooding.
Farmlands and some houses normally get flooded at orlu especially around that st Joseph.


You people will still go there in dry season and get me pictures of those building when the occupants must have pack in to call me a liar.

Where exactly is St Joseph. There was actually no flooding in Orlu the day I took the pictures but I have read on internet about flood problems of Orlu just like I also read of Owerri, Enugu, onitsha Aba and Uyo.

Found this 2010 link on that St Joseph flood and its a federal project gone wrong. Millionaireman should direct his anger to Jonathan and Orlu zone legislators.

Chidi Nkwopara
FOR the people of Uzoubi, Umuna, Orlu Local Government Area
of Imo State what began as a small season challenge has today
snowballed into a huge disaster.
Trouble began in 1984, when Umusasa, one of the five villages
in Umuna experienced its first flooding. In 1986, the flood
spilled over, destroying farmlands and crops, buildings collapsed,
domestic animals drowned and household furniture were
destroyed.
Today, Umuna has become a pilgrimage centre of sorts where
people go to reflect on the disastrous work of nature. To some
scholars, the community has become an excursion site where
they see and record their findings for the advancement of
knowledge. To yet another group of visitors, the flood site is a
tourist attraction, a seven-day wonder and people are simply
amazed at how residential and commercial buildings were taken
over by flood and their occupants summarily sacked.
Uzoubi, Umuna, is best described as a community in the valley
but presently houses some of the major landmarks associated
with Orlu local council area. Apart from being thickly populated,
this troubled community boasts of the magnificent and soul-
uplifting Saint Joseph’s Catholic Church, the Orie Ugwu and Orlu
International Markets, as well as Evan Enwerem University
Teaching Hospital.
On June 27, 2005, the traditional ruler of the community, Eze
Boniface C. Okereke, the President General, Chief Chris Uzoagba
and Secretary General, Chief Bob Onyeje, sent a letter to one of
their own and the immediate past governor of the state, Chief
Achike Udenwa, titled: “Flood water claims human life in
Uzoubi-Umuna”.
This was their complaint: “The yearly event in Uzoubi-Umuna for
the past 18 years has registered its arrival this year with a claim
of the life of a child of about 12 months. This time, a son of Mr.
Raymond Duruiheoma, a native of Atta in Njaba Local
Government Area, residing at 2, Duruaku Street, Uzoubi-Umuna.
This incident happened 12th June, 2005. Properties lost by the
residents of the said building are estimated in millions of
Naira”.
They also told Udenwa in the said letter that barely two weeks
after another 18-hour torrential rain hit the community, adding
that the additional water over ran the entire community. They
mentioned the worst hit areas as the royal father’s palace,
Duruaku Street, Umusasa Road, Egbunine Street, Nwangaji Street,
Umudiato Road, Ebenator Road, Amaigbo Road, Central School 1
premises, Saint Joseph’s Catholic Church premises and Umuorji
Street.
Explaining how the 12-month old boy died in the flood, the
royal father said: “On this fateful day, the flood was beyond the
control of the dwarf walls, as it pulled down the perimeter wall
and covered all the rooms downstairs at 1 Eze Okereke Road”.
An enraged traditional ruler told Vanguard Metro that “Chief
Udenwa did nothing to ameliorate the plight of his brothers in
Uzoubi-Umuna until he left office”. He recalled with grief how
perimeter fencing of several buildings was pulled down by the
angry flood.
“About 10,000 residential and commercial buildings are
submerged yearly in flood and properties conservatively
estimated at billions of Naira have been lost to the flood. Sheep,
goats, rams, dogs, chickens and other domestic birds were
drowned”, the royal father lamented.
He recalled that the attempt by the past administration to give
access roads to Orlu International Market and the Teaching
Hospital without defined flood discharge points has rendered
many living at the East-end of the International market
homeless. The same poor planning affected the construction
work at Amaigbo Road, hence the over flooding of the Catholic
Church premises and the buildings around it.
Another pathetic aspect of the flood disaster is that of the
primary school built in 1919 by the Catholic Church which is on
the verge of being closed down. If this happens, what is the
fate of the children of school age in this area is the question
begging for answer.
Eze Okereke disclosed that early 2005, FERMA attempted to
rehabilitate the Amaigbo Road but the angry flood sacked them
and the job has remained unattended to till date, despite the
ray of hope ignited in 2009 by the Bureau of Public Procurement
(BPP).
According to a BPP document, BPP/S.1/Vol.VII/09/059, dated
May 21, 2009 and captioned “Certificate of no objection for
award of contract”, the BPP stated: “Having examined your
request and all the documents forwarded confirms that the
project has satisfied all due process requirements for issuance of
no objection for the award of the contract”.
While giving the project name as “construction of Umuna
Erosion Control Works at Orlu Local Government Area of Imo
State”, BPP gave the name of the project contractor and cost as
Messrs C.L.S. Limited and N119,632,175.30 respectively.
The BPP document which was signed by the Director General,
Engr. Emeka M. Ezeh and Engr. Nebolisa O. Emodi, disclosed
that the source of funding is the N120 million under the
Ecological Fund as approved by Mr. President, while the
implementing Ministry/Agency is the National Committee on
Ecological Problems (NCEP)/Anambra-Imo River Basin
Development Authority.
The question now is: When will this project, which was approved
in May 21, 2009, take off? Until the project commences and is
completed, the villagers remain refugees in their land.

Mr man, kindly remove owerri, Onitsha and Enugu because their own is just normal flooding which Is can be caused by excessive raining. Orlu flooding is due to lack of drainage, even the road you people are snapping, the drainage start from one end and stop at the other end, I am yet to see where the water from the drainage empties itself abi orlu no get stream ? The past and present government of imo state don't consider how to channel a road side gutter to a stream or greater drainage while building roads in the rural area.




As for the location, I don't know the name but its located along the road if your going to orlu shopping mall. Just ask the people they will give u better direction.

At least there is ABIA state University a stone throw from Okigwe, there is inflow of money and population to the city, Okigwe students profit from attending lectures from home. Okorocha opened up another full College of Education in the area. There is federal Govt College in Okigwe, money flows in to Okigwe from there. We threw in everthing in 2011 and campaigmed for Rochas, requested for pipe borne water and multifaculty university in Orlu. Only fools are suffered gladly: Rochas knows that school of Health Technology in Orlu is not a multi faculty tertiary institution, neither is the campus of three depts of ImoPoly..

Mass education is foundation for any form of development. Owerri and Okigwe are many many years ahead of Orlu in this regard due to the long years of existence of tertiary institutions in them. Any day Okorocha govt opens up the Imo-European University in Ogboko, criticism of his govt from Orlu axis must drastically reduce.

Orlu is actually more developed than Okigwe and also has far more richer and educated people. College of health and nursing is 2 in Orlu. 1 at Amaigbo and another at Okporo. Though more proximal to Owerri, Imo polytechnic is actually in Orlu zone.

You are also a big fool and nomentity to dare claim you put any effort in bringing Okorocha to power. You smell of bitterness and corruption and you are definitely not from Imo.

Ha ha ha, You resorted like others to insulting contrary opinion, after you finished your celebration of road pictures in Orlu as development. Do you even know what constitutes develooment? Roads that are not coupled with aticulated drainage system wash away shortly after. Have you seen the ones Udenwa built, they are all nearly gone. Yes we campaigned for Okorocha in 2011, but without insulting people with opposing views. With you people's system, you are creating more opponents for Okorocha.

Define development and tell me where is developed in Nigeria?

Another contributor has confirmed menace of flooding in Orlu, flooding after even the slightest rainfall. All those abusing me, keep on entertainng yourselves. As for Gov Okorocha attitude toward having a multifaculty public university in Orlu zone, it is even worse for anyone to continue with the impression that Orlu people believe that School of Nursing/Health is equivalent to multifaculty tertiary institution which the people yearn for and asked Gov. Okorocha for in 2011.

So does it mean that if someone posts something contrary to ROCHAS praise singing, he is termed an enemy of Imo or is not from Imo? Millionaireman is crying for more developmental projects to his LGA and all abagoro has to do is to call him a fool and then said he is not from Imo state?

Theres a difference between contrary opinion and outright lying or repetition of same clause for 3 years with same pictures. The issue is a 419 project from FG but in order to derail tbis thread he keeps repeating same and ascribing it to Okorocha. If he is not a fool he should open a thread asking FG to complete the project as well as others scattered across Igboland including especially Nnewi to Okigwe via Arondizuogu.

I'm also confuse, they want Orlu to because Rome over-night. I'm impress with the way orlu looks now.

I know our government, in general, tend to heavily concentrate on the state capitals but from the way people were complaining about orlu on here, I thought nothing at all was happening in orlu. I don't know orlu, my memory of the place is that of the teaching hospital, I once visited the hospital from owerri.

I advocate, at least, proper planning for our satellite towns, that way individual/private development will appear organised and this makes future beautification less expensive and easy.

Very impressed so far with orlu pics,can somebody pls beg okorocha to stop littering everywhere in owerri with roundabouts even where its obviously not called for,okorocha also betrayed my trust on him now I visited owerri and found out he has abandoned the ohakim road project with bridges at amakohia and orji,what one will see in this places now are roundabouts,the enugu state government has constructed bridges in enugu urban but the only one necessary in owerri for now mallam okorocha has turned the place to a roundabout. Okorocha is also still failing to expand owerri the state capital with wider roads,the city still has only 3 to 4 major roads compared to other old cities in igboland,so fed up of okorosha and presently we have no better of person. On other cities orlu and okigwe he tried but he so much neglected the town with the highest potential in imo state which is oguta,will justify my claim on oguta in my next post,typing from my phone so paragraphs are not real.

I DON'T WANT ROCHAS OR ANY APC PERSON TO BE GOVERNOR COME 2015 IN IMO STATE. BUT TO SAY GOV ROCHAS HAVE NOT CREATED NEW OR EXPANDED EXISTING ROADS IN OWERRI IS A BLATANT LIE. OGUTA HAS RECEIVED SIGNIFICANT ATTENTION FROM THIS GOVERNMENT BECAUSE HE IS BUILDING THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL MARITIME UNIVERSITY IN OGUTA WITH A COUPLE OF NEW ROADS THERE.

As per owerri I am not impressed with okorocha the town is still a very small town not growing nor expanding with Wider roads and city planning,suburbs like irete,avu,obinze,ihiagwa,nekede,naze,akwakuma,amakohia etc should be well planned with streets but this present government aint doing any thing about it,they leave people to build houses any how with no mapped out street and major road even if not tarred for the main time as its been done in lagos and other yoruba cities. on Oguta the most educated town in imo state,a potential federal government inland port town,a town with fresh water swamp,a town with oil/gas activities,a lake and tourist town,finally a huge agricultural potential town,okorosha government still left the town unplanned with wider streets,as in en I don tire for mallam okorosha I swear.

Friend, you may wish to go back to this thread, observe that my comments have been for even development of all parts of Imo state, and not concentrating development only on the present Imo-one-City State of old Owerri and New Owerri cities, no to an ugly phenomenon where all five tertiary institutions in Imo state are located to the convenience of just one area of the state, and thus reserve the advantage of cheaper and mass tertiary education only for Owerri.

On this matter of roads, I harp on channeling of Orlu flood waters to a valley so that money spent by us Imolites on building roads in Orlu area shall not be a waste in a few years from now. Building the channel gutter is job of state government - never that of federal government, as abagw. here misinforms readers. Some of the roads Sam Mbakwe govt built in parts of Owerri still remain good, because the state govt provided drainage system in the city.

I said it earlier, Okorocha govt has done a lot regarding road development all over Imo state. If one continuously harps on ensuring that the roads last long wherever in the state they are built, that must be welcome.

the issue is rochas has no foresight in governance the only area he is gifted is education but as for industrialization policies and urbanization okorocha is a no no,okorocha settled hoodlums in my town via isopadec that they are heavily been marginalised in imo state,leaving the town with no meaningful electricity and roads,oil exploration companies will soon begin production yet IMSG has nothing to cleanse the town,what okorosha did was to bribe the useless uneducated hoodlums and leave big grammar speaking graduates to wallow in poverty,what we wait to experience in the town is the random kidnap of white experts that will man the oil sites in 3 different locations with about 5 wells per location,so my brethren okorosha e no try at all,I weep for imo and my town in general.

Mr. Man those buildings around that area have been like that before the construction of that drainage system. I'm not from Orlu but when i saw your post i called to Orlu to confirm the condition of the place before react ing to your post, and the reply was that no flooding at that st. Joseph junction and st. Joseph road, that where they are experiencing little flooding now is at Ama-Orji and that even the gutters dug by road sides are large enough to hold large volume of rain water.

I'm not defending imo state, even millionnairenaija knows the true conditions of that place, I'm only commending the developmental stride Rochas has embarked upon.
