The ihedioha2019 guy isn't an Imolite.

We know who he is. Avoid him

The way some of you talk sometimes is quite disgusting. Will you tell a private investor how to invest their money? If the investors choose to build hotels because it's more lucrative or convenient for them, will you stop them?? Come to think of it, how many industries have you built yourself in Imo state?? An industrialist will prefer to build a factory in Aba or Onitsha because of economies of scale. No good businessman will invest based on sentiment because they all want to maximize profits. Areas such as oil and gas, refinery, petrochemical plant, drugs, ICT etc are where investors can still in Owerri and get good ROI. However, instead of blaming those who are building hotels in Owerri, you should rather channel your anger towards those who choose to build outside Imo state. Someone like captain Iheanacho went to build his refinery in Lagos yet he wanted to rule Imo state. This is where Rochas is better than all of them, he invested heavily in Owerri and Imo state and it is only someone who loves his state will do that. You may say it is looted money but others all looted as well yet they either took their investment to Abuja and Lagos, took them abroad or simply stored them in hard currency. When you loot and take your investment outside the state (which his predecessors all did), Imo looses twice, but when you invest it back in Imo state, the state only loose once and gain back through IGR, bigger economy, employment provision and other multiplier effects.
Finally, how many industries are there in Abuja? Are they up to a quarter of industries in places like Aba and Onitsha but are the IGR of Aba and Onitsha in anyway comparable to that of Abuja?? My point is that it is not only mortar and brick factories that can make a city prosperous. Does Imo need factories? YES! Are the hotels being built good for the economy of the city? YES!!

I agree with you, that it cannot be completed overnight but it can be done in a reasonable time frame and with standard quality and specifications, you will agree with me also that the contracts when they were awarded, included the sidewalks because I believe if it was not they will not construct it. I hate making excuses for mediocrity and I want you to call a spade a spade I don't see the reason why finishing touches needed to complete all these projects before handing it over should be done later. Why would a contractor handover projects without doing the needful? I give you an example, how many years now did the road in the picture below was constructed and handed over to the government? This manholes are dead traps why will it be so why build it at all if it cannot be done well?

Unu abolachi, ututu oma.

Seems the erstwhile Douglas city centre mall have been converted to Imo specialist hospital.

Abagworo:


You still miss the point. Okorocha doesn't award contracts like typical Nigerian politicians where they inflate cost in the name of handover and commissioning. Each of these roads are in phases like I wrote earlier and after one phase comes the next. Gradually they will all be completed either now or in near future if things go according to plan.

jamjo:



Not all the new roads and why are they still constructing open drainage, why plastic palm tree when we are in a tropical rainforest climate zones. The money they are using in constructing the ugly metal arches can buy 2000 pine trees.

Ihedioha2019:
we in Ihedioha campaign organization has taken total audit of all the bad roads in owerri and imo state at large. these one below were captured in owerri where over 90% of the roads are bad terribly. we must get imo to work

Yampotatocarrot:


Abagworo, if I may ask... Are these pictures being posted by Ihedioha true?

I know they might be campaign stunts, but are they true?

Abagworo:

Chino just wanted to create distractions and was ignored.

ABIA1stman:
Useless hopeless old man, you know that i am following you and scrutinizing every post you make on NL. Anyone that ever comes here to bust your propaganda is always Chino.

When Afam4eva and asha10 came here to open up, you branded them as Chino.

You hate the truth so much that you can even call your poor old mother Chino if she start telling you the bitter truth.

Chino doesn't know that useless Imo state is existing except when you cross the 'line'. Focus on your propaganda here and stop calling Chino everytime someone opens up.

Below was the post that earned Afam4eva the title of Chino. I spit on you abagworo.

Abagworo:


I know you very well Chino so save yourself the stress.

Abagworo:
Cherubim and Seraphim parade today 20/01/2019 at Wetheral road in Owerri city.

Amaco123:
look at how beautiful wetheral road is.a

Yampotatocarrot:


True about the trees. U r the second person here screaming this, I hope they listen... Are the metal arches that expensive?

jamjo:




I'm not estimating one metal arches to 2000 pine trees when you examine the new roads he is constructing you will found out that they are putting up the ugly metals arches, my suggestion was to use that money to buy pine trees instead of the metals.

Abagworo:


Those metal archs are not ugly. You will appreciate the effects at night as they make the city unique in every way from every other city. Let me upload the looks at night.

Why wouldn't investors invest only in Owerri,, as Okorocha govt builds only in Owerri: builds a new Imo Specialist Hospital in Owerri after suffocating the state's university teaching hospital in Orlu, builds Owerri boulevards but scraps roads in Orlu, uses Imo state government funds to build Police and Prison Headquarters in Owerri, builds bye pass roads in Owerri after demolishing inner Owerri and built ten lanes, (wonder what Okorocha's many Owerri bye pass roads are meant for as he also made inner streets of Owerri become ten lanes).
In Orlu, Okorocha scrapped roads, flood from small rain carry buildings as Okorocha and Uche Nwosu refused to complete Orlu drainage gutter.

Nothing other than malice and deep seated grudge against Orlu influenced Okorocha choice to lavish the funds of IMSG on Owerri, and which makes for investors choice for Owerri.

Don't think you are sophisticated in thought and teaching of investors choice of Owerri.

Abagworo:
Okorocha today distributed free school bags to thousands of students at Heroes Square in Owerri. Heroes Square itself was built from the scratch by Okorocha.

sonature1:

The IMSG should have simply shipped the bags to their various schools for onward distribution. Perhaps this is one of the reasons they call Rochas a showman. However, this gesture is commendable.
