Bro,the relocation of imo state university would ve been a welcome development in the state cos it wil depopulate and reduce friction encounter in the state,
ohakim instigated this ideas and refuse to execute it,
the same with rochas too..

Bro dont yu think all these politicians re benefiting more on the present site of imsu in the heart of a town than relocating it to a remote village?..
Why re they slow towards the permanent site of imo state university,why?
It s not only the hotelians re protesting against imsu permanent site,even the orji people,ugwu urrata,and especialy the orji people who re landlords and landladies re benefiting more frm imsu present site cos they rent their old houses and palaces for student to use.
May God help us

In the last 6 years or so, it's hard to see any new commercial houses in Orlu urban because such is not commercially viable.

Owerri develops and expands with speed not just because it is capital city, it is mostly because of its six tertiary institutions with large student and staff population.

Private tertiary institution hardly brings development to area located. If at the end ORO truly used trick to get private university site in his hometown, and because of competition refuses any government university in Orlu zone, public outcry against ORO may never allow ORO's private university to survive when he leaves office.

frm yur write up above.,it seem yu re so concerned about orlu development
and why must tertiary institution be focus as a means of development in a particular areas?

But there should be other means that can bring development to orlu town irrespective of tertiary institution?

You said owerri was developed,not because of his capital but because of the six tertiary institution located around the capital?
I guess yu wrong bro,
owerri is a capital,where all civil servant and other subgroup/branch and government jobs like fmc,frsc,hotels etc are located hence her quick development.
my dear dnt be deluded cos of the tertiary institution yu saw around the town,
owerri as a capital has both internal and external advantage or benefit which led to the speedy development in owerri.

Orlu in its nature can never reach owerri in terms of development except a new born state is created.
Orlu and awka re just like similar age until awka became a capital then her development displayed drastically.

At bolded 3..

Private institution/university do bring development my broda,go to akwa ibom,ask of heritage polytechnic,the school is located at the outskirt of eket zone,nearly inside a village,but the school is making wave and it has brought development there,i guess it depend on where the school is sited,and how many student do they have,wil determine the proximity to her quick or speedy development..

Education, mainly tertiary education, is the main catalyst to development. The more people acquire education, the more their place becomes developed.

Besides, it is most unjust to have Owerri zone alone benefit from the advantages of location of government tertiary institutions - about six of them in the state - while others watch. It's not done in any other state in Nigeria.

If present governor can't bring a government university to Orlu zone, we may have to try another person now. Past Imo governors since 1999 asserted that IMSU cannot remain in Owerri.

IMSU have no business being Owerre while Orlu is there without anything and less activities to bolster the towns economic potentials.

I don't even know why a state like Imo the most advanced state academically is yet to have a private Univ in the state.

Even must that Imopoly Umuagwo be in Owerre for crying out loud??
One thing I discovered is that those Hoteliers and Restraunts owners there are influencing decision making in Imo State, do you know that Owerre could be as expensive as Zurich in Switzerland in the Nigeria sense of it.

Yes, it is election time; it is time to raise this issue of a govt university in Orlu again with Rochas. Let him say yes or no so that people shall know how to vote this time.

Orlu people met Rochas in Owerri shortly after he took office as governor and prayed him for a govt university.

yes bro,he s frm ogboko,ideato south,so they re under the umbrella of orlu senatorial zone..

in response to ur previous post..

if imo state does not have a private university yet,it s because of too many institution situated in imo state as a whole,
scaring private individuals frm thinking about private university in imo state..

nice having yu here bro.

Ahajioku conventional center near completion

imo is ok

Nkwerre road, Works layout.

Please Rochas should fix the road. The people living around the area are suffering.

And the dirts littering the streets in Works layout.
This is absolutely disgusting.

I don't if its because of the too many institutions, even if that could be the cause why not site it at Orlu since Owerre and Okigwe are both university communities.

Enugwu State have as much higher institution as Imo but they still have like 3 private univ

Abia have many govt higher institutions as well but got private univ likewise Anambra.

The only thing is the concentration of development in Owerre while other sides are neglected, Imo deserve atleast 2 private univ to start it

There is nothing like pushing the issue during the election time because all Nigeria politicians are siblings of different mothers but the same father, they are baptized in a dirty water and none know no shame.

You push it during election, he will not say he will not do it, he will promise haven on earth but once they are elected they turn their backs on the masses.

I was in Onicha in 2010 when Goatluck promised the SNB and this is 2015 and nothing serious is happening there while he still move around campaigning on how he will fix the same bridge.

Forget those crooks abeg

There is even asphalt on the failing roads berem pleads Gov. Rochas to redo at Owerri Works layout. berem visited Orlu last week and brought pix of bare sand streets. Too many urban roads in Orlu have not even seen asphalt before; though the roads are almost filled with houses.
But madam berem is about the only person who insults when one laments about problems in Orlu on NL; yet berem claims she is from Orlu. How else does one define a fake madam?

^^^Probably laying in wait for Abagworo; waiting for the time he will make the 'mistake' of even mentioning 'Anam...' (never mind 'Anambra').......and then he'll pounce!

There is one in Nkwerre. Hezekiah University, it should be owned by Daddy Hezekiah. I have forgotten the name of his church, but the man is popular, claims that he raised a dead man years back. Then Orlu Catholic Diocese has started making efforts to start her own university, Trinitas University
