I get your point about Spyder880 uploading pictures of other Imo towns in an Owerri thread but I don't really think it's a reason to get worked up. I'm sure if the outskirts he showed were very beatiful, you wouln'd have told him to restrict his tentacle to Owerri alone. There's really no way you can talk about owerri without bringing some other parts of Owerri. He also did same for the Enugu thread as many of the pictures he took were from the outskirts of Enugu city. Let's cut him some slack and encourage him cos it seems he's the only one that doing this job. I wonder why can't people that are based in Owerri, aba, Abakaliki, Awka, Ontisha etc cannot take pictures of their city like Spider Nwanne is doing. Spider is not really familiar with most of these cities because he's Enugu born and bred.

Abagworo:


You are wrong bro. I already posted pictures of Orlu which is also a different city in Imo State. What I'm hammering on is the title. Imo State is generally beautiful in comparison to most of Nigeria but he shouldn't title it Owerri and post somewhere else in order to downgrade Owerri. There are many threads on Imo already which I opened and he even posted on but this one should have been on the bubbling life of Owerri.

And again like I earlier stated, Imo and Anambra are not like Enugu, Abia and Ebonyi in terms of city and rural relationship. In Abia, you can label anywhere from Obehie to Isialangwa including the bush as Aba but in Imo, territories matter a lot or one big town would swallow another. Almost the entire northern Imo towns are joined from Owerri to Uga in Anambra State.

There is something definitely wrong with our brothers from Imo state. This is the second thread about showcasing owerri opened by Spider nwannem. The first was derailed by a set of renegades from that state and this promising second thread has been totally spoilt by another set of perverts from same state! na wah

Abagworo:

The title you gave this thread is "Owerri, Nigeria's Most Bubbling Capital City". You can't give that title and start posting something else. You could have used "The good and bad sides of Owerri" as the title. What this means is that you planned to give the bad side. You might tempt me into opening an Imo versus Enugu thread, where pictures and statistics will come to play.

Smh

ballabriggs:

These highlife bands is just why I love Owerri. Forget every other thing, nightlife in Owerri is awesome.

FACE:

Akabo is not in Owerri capital territory and I am sure that you will notice the sign that says welcome to owerri capital territory just after the bridge at Ugwu Orji,which is about 5Km from Akabo. That part of Imo is densely populated going towards Anara,Okwelle, Uruala,Ideato, Orlu and there is no clear distinction between nearby towns, therefore any visitor can be forgiven for thinking that Akabo,Atta,Ikeduru and other nearby towns are in Owerri. That is also the case going towards Mbaise-Umuahia.

That road is a federal road linking Owerri to Enugu and Okigwe and blaming Rochas will be equivalent to blaming chime for not fixing the express way from Agbani or Awgu to Enugu.

However, the road is a sorry sight, judging from that picture you posted and I agree with you that the governor should do something about it regardless of who owns the road.

I have never known it to be that bad. The last time I used that road was 2.5 years ago when I went to Mbano for a traditional wedding and although there was a heavy wedding-wrecking downpour, there was no flooding as we used that road.

I asked someone about that road today and he told me that Rochas inspected the road himself and has undertaken to fix the road even though it is a federal road, but some houses may have to go to make way for a run off drainage. So let's watch this space.

Abagworo:

Akabo is a different village not in any way regarded as Owerri. This is just like going to a village along the bad. Portion of Benin-Lagos expressway and labeling it Lagos. It is better you use "Imo" instead of "Owerri". Otherwise one day people will take pictures from Obigbo. Okrika and Aba calling it Port Harcourt.
