Owerri is gradually becoming an international city where people from different parts of the world could feel at home. With such restaurants opening in the city, foreigners working in the oil industry will be flocking into Owerri and coupled with the serenity, with time, many of them will start settling too and the economy will continue to receive a boost.

Btw, those pizza look tantalizing kiss

I just wish our up and coming cities like Owerri, Onitsha and Enugu had reliable and adequate access to the outside world via int'l airports. They cannot be said to be international players if their foreign visitors have to first land in Lagos, Abuja or Port Harcourt before getting a connecting flight to these cities.

What's this one smoking? Owerri is known for commercial sex hawking and brothels. Owerre is the only town in Africa where parents train their children to become sex hawkers. Owerri is the only town where you can find very cheap commercial sex hawkers because they are many all over the town. I wish the Imo state govt could develop more brothels in the town, so that more commercial sex hawkers could be engaged and thereby Improving the IGR of the state. Imo state should consolidate on its economic mainstay which is commercial sex hawking. cheesy

Updated photo of new stadium Orlu 95% completed.



95% completed?

But here are no roofs yet covering the seats in the Orlu Stadium. The plastic chairs shall pack up before six months if continued to be exposed to weather.

It's a huge waste of funds if the roofs are not built.

Roofs are among the major and most expensive aspect of building a Stadium. So how come 95% completed?

But as Owerri people continue to make concerted efforts for every succeeding governor of Imo state to focus only on development of Owerri, time shall come very soon when Owerri shall become an unlivable City. Fraud begets fraud.

Owerri has to learn from Enugu state. Nsukka is now a second modern city in Enugu state by gov Ugwuanyi.

Unimaginable the level of hate Okorocha has for Orlu which makes him want to relocate Imo state University teaching hospital Orlu to Owerri.

Last two weeks, you showed us here the Shopping Mall at Eke Ukwu Owerri which Okorocha intends to either relocate IMSUTH to, or establish an IMSUTH-like hospital - only aimed to cripple IMSUTH in Orlu.

Easy bro,

Owelle isn't duplicitous, True he could be unpredictable at times.

What he is doing is specialist hospital, while the other is a free mother to child referral centre, not University teaching hospital, you mixing things up, that's diversionary, however I would have preferred another government set up another of such in other zones for balance.

Government is a continuum, I guess he got consumed with the power play btw owerri /orlu zone on the full scale relocation of the state University's permanent site, of which became mission impossible,

However, indications then showed he wouldn't want the already acquired land and structure put in place to become a wasteful venture, hence the idea of Eastern palm University, but be that as it may, today we can equally see the efforts he made to put up some faculties as a decentralizing strategy, though by bits which materialised in aboh /ngor kpala, onuimo, mbaise etc, plus the taking off of a new one in ohaji touted to be college of education, though still befuddled of what became the idea of marine University.

You can't totally righoff such an investment of Eastern palm, because in the nearest future, we gonna see the impact of its multipler - effects.


You know federal government investment in institutions is incomparable to that of states, hence the gradual approach, if owelle is truly wicked, he wouldn't have instigated the idea of decentralizing the institutions in the first place.


The idea of using the satellite images is to buttress the fact that had any of the federal institutions been set up abinitio in any of the tripartite zones bar owerri, situations would have changed. So for me, it is more of a collective blame that should be shared, instead of singling out owelle and calling for his crucifixion.

I equally took sat - images of IMSUTH orlu,
Are you implying that of all these structures set up here, none is in owelle's name?

There has been a Imo Specialist Hospital Umuguma in Owerri established by Udenwa government the same time Imo state University teaching hospital was established in Orlu. So why Okorocha duplicating specialist hospital in Owerri while IMSUTH is abandoned by Okorocha? IMSUTH was rated among the best ten teaching hospitals in Nigeria in its early years.
.
Okorocha came and has been equipping the Imo Specialist Hospital in Owerri since he became governor, but not Imo state University teaching hospital Orlu.


It's the seventh year Okorocha refused to asphalt the dilapidated 1.4km main road leading to IMSUTH Orlu, while Okorocha builds all the main roads leading to Specialist hospital and IMSU in Owerri.


Earliest during his tenure, Okorocha built many Ochiedike and other diagnostic labs in Owerri. If he had wished IMSUTH well right from day one, he might have built the many Ochiedike and other diagnostic labs in IMSUTH to increase the worth of the diagnostic, referral and research institution which does not need to be located in the state capital.

No Imo state governor without malice against IMSUTH can go to establish another Specialist Hospital in Owerri, while the State University teaching hospital Orlu started 17 years ago remains uncompleted, not fully equipped.

We are biting our tongues over health care in Imo state, if not, in the wealthy and developed world, IMSUTH at Orlu is enough for all the tertiary health care needs of entire population of Imo state. A teaching hospital is not a General hospital.

Duplicating Specialist Hospitals here and there in Owerri by Okorocha govt is aimed to further paralyse and render IMSUTH Orlu redundant, and unofficially relocate IMSUTH to Owerri.

Okorocha seeks to placate Owerri so that Owerri shall not query how his private businesses in Owerri, including Eastern Palm University in his village came to be. That's also behind Okorocha doing nearly all govt development infrastructures in Owerri.

You can see the large number of private hostels and gigantic housing edifices along IMSUTH road Orlu that Okorocha has been suffocating all these years he abandoned IMSUTH.

One thing, if the Old Owerri Road Orlu leading from Owerri through Umuowa-Y junction to IMSUTH was not scrapped and abandoned by Okorocha govt since 2012, if the main road to IMSUTH is rebuilt, the scene of the area IMSUTH is located in Orlu would have been as beautiful, if not more beautiful, than the scenes in New Owerri.

Let Okorocha continue to believe that people are stupid, believe that he is the only smart person.

Fool me one more time bro,

How can IMSUTH orlu cater for all health care needs of the state, when you have been on this sojourn of advocating for decentralization of developments all these years, isn't that double-speaking?


Here you are still harping your repetitive rhythm that owelle is the devil, but you forgot he wasn't on the saddle for the complete stretch of 17 years you just mentioned,


For me duplicity of health structures anywhere is a win, that those ones were set up in owerri doesn't in any miniscule way, take away the shine of orlu, it is only in your mind,


Going by your logic, Isn't it safe for okigwe zone to cry wolf that they equally deserve their own IMSUTH.

Perhaps we could equally have two more airports and state houses in Orlu and okigwe zones. Innit?


For me the bottom line of your stipulation is more equipments and rehabilitation of the scrapped roads leading to the orlu IMSUTH,

If owelle was the devil, one would have expected him to have the orlu stadiums and new markets to remain a pipedream in the zone.

Despite the fact that the relocation of the state University didn't materialise, he opted for the option of having the eastern palm within orlu, you still castigated him for it.


Never seen you talk about the achievements of your senator uzodinma within your zone.

You're Apportioning your blames disproportionately.

The best neighborhoods in Owerri based on your criteria are Amakohia/Spibat (they have constant light, good roads, functional street lights and serenity) and New Owerri/world Bank. These areas are cool but rent there could be relatively expensive. However, I can assure you that living in Owerri is a lot better than living in Lagos. I also left Lagos for Owerri in 2014 and have never regretted it. Owerri is just another Abuja on a low budget cool cool

STATE CAPITAL to be accorded top priority?

Falsehood made in Owerri and sold to the masses, and even to the elites, including Rochas Okorocha, in Imo state.


.Google "many US State capitals are less developed than other cities in the same state," to get yourself better informed.

Above all, there is no provision in Nigeria's constitution that stipulates that state capital is to be accorded top priority. You swim in abject ignorance.
Deal with your poor education.

Those who created Nigeria into states and to senatorial zones and LGAs had in mind uniform development through fair distribution of government development infrastructures in the three senatorial zones, NEVER TO ACCORD TOP PRORITY TO STATE CAPITAL.

They knew, unlike your sort in Imo state, that according top priority to stare capital leads to state capital absorbing population and businesses in it, expand. As this goes on, at some point, successive governors must be constrained to use most of the state funds to continue to provide matching development infrastructures to the rapidly expanding state capital.

The result is that there must no longer be enough funds to even provide the most basic social infrastructures in the crumbling localities outside the state capital.

This has already set in Imo state.

My friend,
Move over to the developed world, one University teaching hospital, wherever established in a state like Imo, is more than enough for the state's diagnostic, referral, research and teaching needs of Imo state.


University teaching hospital is not a General hospital that needs to be built in every corner of Imo state.

I don't think there are up to 300 students in Imo state University teaching hospital Orlu.

There are more than 100,000 students clustered in Owerri in the about 6 public tertiary education institutions in Imo state clustered around Owerri.

These institutions fetch about N1 billion per month for development of Owerri.
Okorocha's Eastern Palm University in his village is a private university. Private Universities anywhere contribute little to the development of the locality located.

Gov Evan Enwerem refused to observe zoning but located IMSU in Owerri on a dilapidated school building, whereas, there was a better, larger and newly refurbished university facility in Orlu at the closed campus of Alvan Ikoku College of education in Orlu.
There were FUTO, AICE and PolyNekede in Owerri then. Fraud.


You earlier mentioned the contribution of tertiary education institutions to the development of Owerri.


Imo state needs to permanently locate IMSU in Orlu or Okigwe zone to induce development, mass education and rapid modernization of the Urban centres in Orlu or Okigwe.

Having Owerri a donkey years of modernity and urbanization ahead of rest of Imo state is abnormal, situation like this is not permitted by administrators of modern societies.

You're wiggling and unstable like a pendulum,

Who doesn't know that teaching hospitals world over got affiliates, with each having its area of specialization and research , call it cancer, neurological science, genetics, pediatrics, psychological science, diabetes, etc

So it's possibility cannot be ruled out, that is out of place.

And of course we all know the state got to have a gradualist approach in equipping the 27 G hospitals with some still uncompleted.


Now you making it crystal clear that truly owelle mustn't have all the blame, because it wasn't his making that 6 public tertiary institutions were concentrated within Owerri zone. So you conceded that as a matter of fact. I had thought you would have him blamed for the decision of Evan Enwerem.


Talking about Eastern palm, Are you insinuating that private Universities like afe babalola, Covenant, igbinedion, Babcock, baze, bowen etc have little or no impact in their host communities and the state's development by extension since their inception?

Tell me more, I'm all ears.

Since 17 years, Imo state government started a University teaching hospital in Orlu, but the structures of the teaching hospital are yet to be completed
half way, not even equipped halfway - after 17 years.

You give a nod to Okorocha to establish branches of the teaching hospital - call it cancer, neurological science, genetics, pediatrics, psychological science, diabetes, etc departments in locations outside the teaching hospital.
If you have no one to tell tell you that you are a worst administrator for the state, you are in trouble.
You are wrecking the state through wasting it's scarce resources.

The standard in the developed and good developing world is have General hospitals in population clusters;
have bigger hospitals with equipped laboratory to analyse blood and stool specimens, in say, the three senatorial zones of Imo state;

then a referral, major diagnostic, teaching hospital anywhere in the state where medical experts congregate to treat referral cases, diagnose complex illnesses, research and fashion out tertiary health care and policies of the state.

Health care is one of the most expensive cost heads;
even the richest states in the richest countries of the world can't afford to pay for scattering medical experts, research and diagnostic equipments in many localities in a small population/land mass state like Imo.

From Owerri to Orlu is about 25 minutes bus ride, how do people feel so lazy to travel the short distance for their referral any more, as we had it when IMSUTH was established?

I give up replying to you lot in Imo state who believe, with Rochas Okorocha and Uche Nwosu that any govt development project in the state not located in the state capital must be killed at all costs.

Since 17 years, Imo state government started a University teaching hospital in Orlu, but the structures of the teaching hospital are yet to be completed
half way, not even equipped halfway - after 17 years.

You give a nod to Okorocha to establish branches of the teaching hospital - call it cancer, neurological science, genetics, pediatrics, psychological science, diabetes, etc departments in locations outside the teaching hospital.
If you have no one to tell tell you that you are a worst administrator for the state, you are in trouble.
You are wrecking the state through wasting it's scarce resources.

The standard in the developed and good developing world is have General hospitals in population clusters;
have bigger hospitals with equipped laboratory to analyse blood and stool specimens, in say, the three senatorial zones of Imo state;

then a referral, major diagnostic, teaching hospital anywhere in the state where medical experts congregate to treat referral cases, diagnose complex illnesses, research and fashion out tertiary health care and policies of the state.

Health care is one of the most expensive cost heads;
even the richest states in the richest countries of the world can't afford to pay for scattering medical experts, research and diagnostic equipments in many localities in a small population/land mass state like Imo.

From Owerri to Orlu is about 25 minutes bus ride, how do people feel so lazy to travel the short distance for their referral any more, as we had it when IMSUTH was established?

I give up replying to you lot in Imo state who believe, with Rochas Okorocha and Uche Nwosu that any govt development project in the state not located in the state capital must be killed at all costs.

You are contradicting yourself here. The teaching Hospital is not 25 mins drive away from Owerri. Isn't it amazing that almost 80% of Imo citizens don't know the location of the teaching hospital? The reason is simply poor siting. Such Hospital should be at an easily accessible location like UPTH along East-West road or UBTH along Lagos-Benin road etc. I suspect it was for selfish reason Udenwa sited it in an obscure area without even creating access dualized road to it. The Orlu International market is also poorly sited.

Hopefully future Governor will have to demolish houses to construct befitting road and then link the road to new Owerri expressway. I know very well that if Okorocha does it you and other never do wells will be the 1st to call him names for building roads to the hospital instead of footpaths.

What has stopped Rochas Okorocha in 8 donkey years from reconstruction of the failed 1.4km road to IMSUTH from the busy federal Amaigbo road to Car Wash junction on Old Owerri road Orlu?

If you and Okorocha are obsessed with locating IMSUTH on the Express road, govt could have extended reconstruction beyond the opposite road from Car Wash junction to the Express road (about 2km distance)

These two roads were built by Udenwa government to link the teaching hospital to the Express road.



Remember that Okorocha scrapped and still abandoned the portion of Old Owerri road from Nnenasa Y-junction to Car wash junction leading to IMSUTH.

Please stop looking for excuses of obscurity to justify Okorocha's witchcraft against IMSUTH. No place is obscure if a road is built to link it. After all, about four years ago, IMSUTH students had severally reminded Okorocha to remember his promise to dualize the road to IMSUTH.

Orlu elders went to Govt House Owerri in 2016 and pleaded with Okorocha to repair the road. Okorocha's response to the elders was they should come to take over Owerri City as their own.


You now pass the buck up to next governor to dualize the road to IMSUTH. Smart.
Re: Few Pics From Imo State by kikake: 1:24pm On Feb 11, 2019
Abagworo, you know pretty much that Okorocha deliberately suffocated IMSUTH, set up a kangaroo committee headed by Acho Ihim in Oct 2016 to relocate IMSUTH Orlu to Owerri, in his calculation to placate Owerri natives to not query how Okorocha established many business enterprises in Owerri and in his village while still serving as governor of Imo state.

STATE CAPITAL to be accorded top priority?

Falsehood made in Owerri and sold to the masses, and even to the elites, including Rochas Okorocha, in Imo state.


.Google "many US State capitals are less developed than other cities in the same state," to get yourself better informed.


The capitals of all US cities and all the other cities in the US and cities of other countries of the world was developed by the city mayors and not the state governors. More than 95% of what you see when you enter an American city was built by the city itself and not the state government.

The city mayors collected whatever revenues they deemed fit and used it to build city roads, city hospitals, city schools and other city infrastructures. They also used it to pay city police officers, city workers, city teachers and city refuse collectors.

Governors of american states do not pay for this things I listed for their cities. The cities bear the burden by themselves. Cities do get subventions from their state governments, but mostly in the form of grants which is used to supplement what the cities are doing.

There's no law in nigeria mandating nigerian governors to develop this or that city, so they have the discretion to do whatever they want. The only way, for you to rectify that, is to vote against whoever is not performing to your expectations. Crying about it daily on nairaland will never help you.

due to the half education we obtain in Nigeria, Owerri has fcucked other places in Imo state - left, right, Centre, front, side and back.
London would have become a city touching the sky by now, while Manchester, Birmingham, etc still remain villages, or even gone to extinction, if governments develop capital city first.
Nothing can change the system of state capital first in Imo state again. Crying for nothing. Bad education.

But, London is a sprawling humongous city of several million people. It has actually developed far and wide just like lagos. Same thing will also happen to abuja. The reason why such cities grow far and wide is because they are capital cities, the seat of government and most agencies of government.

Having said that, you guys just don't seem to get it. Those other UK cities you mentioned, Manchester and Birmingham was developed by themself. They were not developed by the UK government.

Imo state house of assembly should convene tomorrow and pass legislation requiring owerri, orlu and okigwe to source for their own revenues to develop themselves. In order to do this, they have to elect an executive mayor who shall call all the shots for the city.

Once this legislation is signed into law by the governor, okigwe, orlu and owerri should henceforth be responsible for building their own roads, drainage system, schools, hospitals and water and waste treatment plants. The cities should also be responsible for paying the salaries of teachers, refuse collectors and police officers.

Orlu is not a big city, but, it's capable of raising upwards of 2 billion naira a month in IGR if done right. Add that to the subventions from the state and federal government and that could easily top 3 to 4 billion naira a month.

Orlu or owerri can go places with 50 billion naira yearly budget.

Owerri still remain a complete backward village filled with bad roads and filth after 40 yrs of creation.
