Shut up your dirty mouth. Good things always comes out of Imo State.

Guys i have an idea that i think would really help imo state greatly. Especially its economy.

I am of the notion that Okorochas Eastern palm university should not be used as a campus of IMSU.
Let the status quo remain or they shift it to Mbano zone as Rochas planned.

Instead let the Eastern palm University be used as a transport university, it would be the first in the south since the only available one is at Katsina.

This would naturally attract investment and improve the economy, cause i sense Nigeria is about to withness a boom in that sector.

WHATS YOUR TAKE

ScotMisile:


Pls,How old are you?

SoNature:


Sincerely, I don't think this is a fair question.

This is not the usual Nairaland frontpage where people attack people unnecessarily.

This is Imo thread, so nobody should be made to feel inferior.

If you think his suggestion isn't good, tell us why with a superior argument.

You don't need his age to respond to his suggestion.

Abagworo i just stumbled on this news. Does it mean that Imo students do not have digital station anywhere in Imo state for them to tour for academic purposes, they had to travel thousands of miles and miles to see what a digital stations looks like? Shame



Theatre Arts students of Alvan Ikokwu Federal College Of Education, Owerri, Imo state visit Anambra Broadcasting Service, ABS, applaud the station’s digital broadcast equipment

Written By Emmanuel Okonkwo

Students of Alvan Ikokwu Federal College Of Education Owerri, Imo state, accompanied by some of their lecturers could not hide their excitement as they toured the new digital studio of the Anambra Broadcasting Service, ABS.

They praised the sophisticated equipment at the ABS digital Radio and Television studios as they were given a guided tour by the ABS Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Uche Nworah.

The students rated the station high saying it ranked as the best they had so far visited in the South East.

Addressing the students, Chief Uche Nworah charged them to work hard so as to benefit from emerging employment opportunities in the broadcast industry.

Chief Nworah who attributed the present transformation in the ABS to the efforts and commitment of Governor Willie Obiano to maintaining the lead in governance, identified rich and diverse content of the ABS as its unique advantage.

SoNature:


I laughed really hard after reading that line.

Given your disposition in this forum, it will be difficult for anyone to take you seriously when you criticize the present governor.

Well, I have always believed that nothing good can come out of Imo PDP.

However, I need Ihedioha to prove me wrong.

Judging by the way that he is picking avoidable fights, I think he buttresses my stance on his party.

Abagworo:


Alvan is a federal institution like Unizik but I won't be surprised if Ihedioha has destroyed IBC built by Okorocha and equipped with most modern digital equipments.

Tension in Imo as youths resist attempt to raid Okorocha’s home
…we went to recover govt properties - Committee Chair

There was palpable tension in Owerri, the Imo State capital as angry youths resisted attempt to break into the private residence of the immediate past governor of the State, Rochas Okorocha by members of the taskforce set up by the government to recover government property.



It will be recalled that the Recovery Committee led by Jasper Ndubuaku had in similar manner raided the business places of the daughter and wife of the former governor, in search of stolen property belonging to the state government, which they claimed where hidden in the business premises.

However the plan to raid Okorocha’s Spibat home, expansive premises that houses the Rochas Foundation College of Africa, was met with stiff opposition as irate youths barricaded the entrance to the compound.

Angered by the perceived harassment of the former governor, the youths were said to have pounced on the Chairman of the Committee and his men had escaped, sensing danger.

Simultaneously, while the Ndubuaku-led Committee was trying to gain access to Okorocha’s home, thousands of youths believed to have been mobilized by the state government had laid ambush for the former governor at the Sam Mbakwe Airport, who was reported to be visiting the state.

But they had to disperse after it was discovered that Okorocha was not returning to the state as they had believed.

Meanwhile, briefing journalists after the incident at Okorocha’s home, Ndubuaku, said that he was attacked by thugs camped at Okorocha’s compound.



According to him, he went to the former governor’s home to recover government properties that were hidden in the premises.

He said, “We went to search the compound with valid Court Order and inventory of the government properties we want to recover, but when we got to the gate, the security men collected the inventory and asked us to wait, while they check if the items were there.

“While we were still waiting, some armed thugs came out from the compound and attacked us, I was shot severally and cut with machete but it could not pierce my body.”

Meanwhile reacting to the incident, the former governor, said that the attempted invasion of his private home by agents of the state government without any Court Order, was a continuation of the harassment meted out to him and his family members by the Emeka Ihedioha led administration.

A statement signed by the Media Adviser to the former governor, Mr. Sam Onwuemeodo, read, “our attention has been drawn to the Press Conference held today, August 29, 2019 by the Chairman, Imo State Property Recovery Committee Mr. Jasper Ndubuaku accusing the former governor of the State Owelle Rochas Okorocha recruiting thugs to attack him and his team when they wanted to invade the private residence of the former governor at Sipbat, Owerri. And we want to simply state as follows:

“The former Governor, Owelle Okorocha has not been in Owerri for days now. Mr. Ndubuaku stormed the private residence of the former governor at Sipbat with more than 700 thugs and he had informed the public when his committee was set up that he had recruited 6000 youths to help him recover government properties.



“They were about to surge into the Sipbat residence of the former governor when the information came and youths with sympathy for the former governor rushed to the place to stop them.

“Ndubuaku and his thugs were there without any Court Order. And they have failed or refused to publish whatever they think the former governor has in his possession which they think belongs to the government as we had demanded. They had also in one of their invasions slapped the daughter of the former governor, Mrs. Uloma Rochas Nwosu”.

It continued that, “their hostility against the former governor has snowballed since they saw the mammoth crowd that received him when he came back the previous week which was the first of such visit since he left office on May 29, 2019.

“Governor Ihedioha should pursue peace and ensure peace. Trying to engage his predecessor in all fronts isn’t advisable”

And the current governor should take cognizance of the fact that although Okorocha built the International Cargo Airport, but it does not belong to him, but to Imo people whose money, in the first place, was used in financing the project. “The governor should look beyond Okorocha and see what the State and her people stand to benefit if the Cargo Airport is opened for operations, both now and in the nearest future. “Especially when everything needed to be done had been done and what is left is to open the venture for business.” He continued: “The governor should also be advised to allow the Judges or the State Judiciary to move to the Ultra-modern Justice Oputa High Court Complex also built by him. “Which the Chief Justice of the Federation, Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad had described as the best across the nation on the day he came to Commission the project.

even if the present govt opens the 2 flyovers nobody is going to use it..it isn't like anyone was using it before the present government decided to seal it

I in particular will used it. Pls for the sake of God, accept Jesus and stop lying because the wages of lying is shameful death.

IHEDIOHA is an enemy to IMO STATE

my friend nobody was using the bridge before it was sealed..it is the truth

B2mario:
I've now confirmed that you are no way close to Imo state or know the state too well. You are an enemy of the state. You hate everything Rochas and had sworn not to see anything good in whatever he does simply because he blocked where your PDP criminals were feeding from or because he dumped your useless propaganda Apga party and joined APC.

I was in Imo state last two weeks, the two Bridges are ok and have long been put into use. Ihedioha closed one with red muds claiming that his committee recommended that it must be closed. Go to imo state and confirm the right information and stop relying on what you read on newspapers and nairaland.

Ihedioha thinks he's fighting Rochas not knowing that indirectly he's vindicating him. He has shown the world that truly Rochas built two flyovers and tunnels, an international cargo airport, 10 higher institutions, a state of art federal high court, police headquarter, a prison complex, created 20,000 jobs through 2016, 2017and 2018.
