I made a trip by air to Port Harcourt, spent a few hours there and travelled to Enugu by road. I travelled through Imo State and for the first time, my impression of Owerri was mind blowing especially all those pix in this thread. New and prime developments is all that you can see in Owerri. But there is so much traffic, we had to manuoevre in the city till we got to Douglas Road. Me thinks, that that part of the state should be revamped since it is a major road linking to other parts of the east. Imagine one distributor who sells beers, blocking a significant part of the road with cartons of assorted drinks (filled bottles and empty bottles alike). In my honest opinion, the road should be expanded like mushin or Oregun road in lagos. Got to Enugu and the rest is gist.... In ranking this states in terms of physical development, I think Enugu (Best), Imo (Better/improving) and PH (Good but disappointing). 2 Likes |

This is nonsense. Absolute nonsense! When will nigerians stop this act of deceit. Imagine one stupid being posting stupid pictures of houses,referring to it as achievement. What we want to know is impact of govt on people not pictures of decorated and painted houses. No picture of improvement in agriculture No picture of modern market No picture of good transportation system No picture of good roads No picture of infrastructures e.t.c 14 Likes 1 Share |

There's more money in Port and the governor is actually trying, but since it's already built and unplanned.....with landlords refusing to cooperate and compensation/relocation being an expensive option (what with the court cases and 'na my papa house' syndrome), developing and opening up old Port Harcourt is a tricky process. |

I drove to Owerri from Port-Harcourt and the first thing you notice at the boundary between Port-Harcourt and Owerri is 'The good well tarred dual carriage road with street lights ends at the boundary between both States. IMO State looked like an abandoned project.. I kept switching from lane to lane during the drive through to Owerri.. The bridges/flyovers I saw looked like they were built and abandoned by the previous administration and its still the same.. The road at some point almost destroyed my car.. I dont know the names or roadsin Owerri, however, I think a school of health or something like that was on that road... PH- 1st, Enugu- 2nd & Imo... last. 2 Likes |

Looking at all these pictures reminds me of Ohakim days when there were snazzy adverts on CNN about Imo State, obviously propaganda stunts designed to attract people and cover up the fact that the government was in fact doing nothing. These pictures are just the same thing. The only thing those pictures prove is that the current goovernor is as good at disseminating propaganda as the last one was. I was in Owerri 2 weeks ago, and the real fact is that Owerri is a disaster zone, and people are lamenting loudly. First of all, the roads are in a serious mess. For some reason, the governor came up with a strange building program which wasnt well thought through and has ended by leaving half of the town's roads very similar to how it must have looked after the war. Contractors came and poured red sand on the roads, painted themblack and went away. The rains came and wrought havoc and now many streets are cut off, erosion is eating away many areas in Prefab and Federal Housing, etc. The governor has come up with a plan to sell off the state general hospitals to a Northern consortium. Civil servants protested loudly and the plan was temporarily shelved. There is also a plan to collect ALL the primary schools in Owerri into one vast compound. Sounds laudable, but the whole point of government funded education is to provide access to education where you live. Imagine if all the primary schools in Lagos were located at one point, say at Unilag for example, and all the primary school pupils in Lagos all have to come to Akoka everyday. And of course, the Imo State Govt has learnt the lesson from the Lagos State Givt, and is imposing all sorts of new taxes and levies on the suffering people. There is a "borehole" tax, to be paid by people who have boreholes. Does this sound reasonable? Isnt it the givernment's responsiblity to provide water, not to tax peeople who have suffered enough and have had to provide amenities for themselves? There is also a "rent tax" to be paid by all landlords in Owerri, so of course, lookk forward to a new rent increase in Owerri soon. And so forth. Like most of the Southeastern states, Imo State is NOT working. What is wrong with the Igbo man, and why are we the worst governed people in Nigeria? Something to do with the old saying "Igbo enweghi eze"? 4 Likes |

eaglechild:you are right! Orlu road needs to be decongested.too much of government establishment on that axis.don't forget the police barracks,a high court and the populated shell camp which houses Alvan lecturers (old comissioners' quarters).the traffic situation was terrible 4years back when I was residing in owerri.I don't know the traffic situation presently. |
Re: Few Pics From Imo State by Nobody: 10:08am On Sep 24, 2012 |
Okija_juju:last time I checked,Owerri-PH road belonged to the Federal Government and not the Imo SG.Enugu-Onitsha expressway where your state is situated is a gory site and it also belongs to the federal government.get your facts right and quit talking what you don't know! |
