If you are "thrilled" about this, then you have low standards as to what makes a city world class.

my brother I have been to most cities in Nigeria, Calabar, Abuja, Lag, Ph, Kd, Enugu, etc but I find what I saw in Owerri really fascinating. as a person I love nature and life and from what I saw in owerri no city in Nigeria can do better trust me. but by the way this thread is about the streets around owerri especially the architectural design of roads in new owerri. And what make a city a world class city if I may ask?

All about Owerri, really and the way Gov. Okorocha turns them beautiful, but scratched away the streets of Okigwe and Orlu and abandoned them four years running.

Imagine a new governor in 2019 scratching away the tops of these Owerri streets and bulldoze many of the development infrastructures Okorocha is now doing in Owerri, then abandon the destruction for four years going.

But during rainey season!

EASTSIDAZ:
Stop quoting me or do you want me to post the real pictures of Owerri here and now? 87% of the roads in Owerri and Imo state at large are in a total mess. Maybe we can do it with pictures for clarification.

This thread is talking about inner streets but we have not seen one here but continuous recycling of government house pictures which is common in every state. Show us decent inner hoods where the common man reside like the ones below.

I am waiting..

[s][/s]

those pic you posted up their are virtually in every city in Nigeria really. even katsina where I served have better roads than the ones you put up there. you must also know that every city in the world has its own fair share of slum and Owerri is not the least affected. the city also has its not too good side though not as bad as the average slum in Nigeria cities. as I said before most of those pic I posted covers vast area of new Owerri and it environs which requires considerable time to drive round. It is not a reserve area as you can find residential homes as well as commercial centers especially relaxation spot, resorts, hotels, casinos, fast food, shopping centers etc. if I could remember government house is close to Rockview hotel in old owerri and most of the streets/roads are in ok condition.

Listen my friend I am not interested in whatever you guys are doing here. I got into this thread because some people called my attention and I will be back again if they require my attention once more.

Owerri is fine no doubt but that was d product of past administration.

Rochas needs to step up his game. I dnt like d fact that he's neglecting other areas in Imo state while concentrating on owerri municipal alone. Imagine siting an international conference centre on d beasy road of way house wen he cud ve done dat at oguta, okigwe or orlu.

You don't mention Oguta, Orlu, Okigwe and the other LGAs outside Owerri before Rochas.
It is like mentioning hell before someone who wants heaven.
Rochas' level of education tells him that once a state is created, the state capital is for development, the other areas of the state can be taken over by flood.

If Rochas had located Ikemba or Hero's Square in Ahiara, Mbaise, it would have made more meaning.

Imagine siting an international conference centre on d beasy road of way house wen he cud ve done dat at oguta, okigwe or orlu.There were a lot of abandon projects d last time i visited owerri nd most roads in bad shape. Well, they said they cudnt do much since twas raining season. I am not impress with d way Rochas is managing Imo state nd i think Capt Ihenacho would ve bn a better candidate.

There's a small conference center at Oguta but what Oguta needs is private managers of the resort to maximise the potential. Stop trying to give credit to past administration because our memories are not short. Yar'adua drive is one among many roads and its not among the pictures posted on this thread as it is not inside New Owerri proper but across the road.

Rochas Okorocha has done so much for Orlu including the ongoing dual carriageway from Owerri to Orlu. No State outside Rivers or Akwa Ibom has attempted such venture.

This is what a PDP man wrote yesterday on visiting Orlu for the 1st time since 2012.

I travelled to orlu today and I saw how orlu that I used to
know have greatly transformed into a modern neat
city.There are many good roads with double lane and big
structures built by Rochas with street lights coupled with a
clean and serene environment.This can only be achieved by
a visionary leader. The road leading from owerri to orlu
makes a pleasurable ride With what I saw today,it will be
very stupid of anybody to say Rochas has failed.I want to
commend the governor for been a transformation leader a
governor who came and turned things around.I am proud of
you Owelle.

Too petty of you, I wonder how some of you are so bitter when Owerri is marketed here positively

My friend go and sit down Alhaji ROACHES has infested Imo state with backwardness. Go tell him to finish those million dollar Northern looking gates and pay contractors and other state employees. Because has done nothing!
"We steal because you don't stone us-Rotmi Amaechi

So because of Rochas is the reason why you are de-marketing Owerre? Smh for you. This bickering won't take us any where

I'm not trying to credit or discredit any government, i dnt get paid for doing that. I am only commenting as an imolite.you ve to understand that owerri is already congested hence such project should be taken to the state outskirt to help develop other areas of d state. You saw what happened when Lawyers had a conference there. In Akwa Ibom for instance, most of their big projects is situated at d outskirt of d city. So,traffic is not an issue here and thats d point i'm trying to make here.

Land issues led to many of those projects being sited at the locations. The new industrial layout is sited at Ohaji/Egbema because there is land, high oil/gas reserves and power plant there. Even the Shoprite that should have been outside was sited at Egbu because of land politics of Umuguma/Umuawom people.
