ImoRiver:
Artificial trees are ornamental trees that have the advantage of being "already grown" unlike the natural ones that take a while to grow. 2ndly artificial trees can be installed on concrete pavements unlike the natural ones as seen here.

Mk93:

but may likely affect his reputation

McTobe:
Why not plant a real one, what happened to the “have you planted Palm tree” campaign he started then. Rochas Na waaa like Lagos nawaa

ImoRiver:


He planted real one and nobody can plant real one on concrete pavement.

PureMind2:
Things fall apart

9jaRealist:





Natural trees would be a disaster and waste if you guys cannot maintain artificial trees that are relatively easy to maintain...
People seem to have this misguided notion that you just stick natural trees onto the sidewalk and let it flourish. It requires a LOT of care.

What is d "lot of care" that goes into "maintaining" organic trees compared 2 artificial trees?

9jaRealist:


Artificial trees, once properly installed, is pretty much set...
Natural trees, on the other hand, have to be REPEATEDLY watered, “fed”, pruned, checked for bugs/disease, etc.

I agree. I don't no how much it cost 2 buy an artificial tree or d cost of d various activities u mentioned, but I believe that in d long run whatever is spent on grooming trees is worth it. With all that has been spent on d plastic trees, they still fell. it shows d govt has incurred a loss. Once again, I don't c d aethestics &d beauty artificial trees add. Also, environmental sustainability should b an objective of any modern day govt& artificial trees can't guarantee that objective. So in d long run, u are better of with organic trees

Bro you are very very correct. Bring him down syndrome is in our DNA. The painful part of all this is that we are doing our self. What has Rochas done that Tinibu has not done x100 but his people still calls him Jagaba. Even Oshomole single handedly instal installed Obaseke.

ntyce:
Sabotage...

If you like destroy everything the man built, it's the masses that will suffer...

Okorocha won't lose one naira of his personal funds

Cinderallagirl:
If they want to probe him, they should do it instead of disturbing us of this and that pls,
okorocha took his transformer in govt house, okorocha fake tree falls, okorocha build bridge without iron, okorocha didn't make roads, this governor should start doing something in the state instead of all this rubbish

Google palm tree manage.

1. They grow and shed all over the place and when they do, hope and pray they don't fall on you.

2. To prevent such hazards, you have to hire and pay people or send city workers to climb and trim the tree.

3. What they have in Imo state is maintenance free, they won't grow or overgrow, they won't shed and fall on people and you definitely don't have to pay 1 kobo to have it trimmed or maintained.

This is common sense, but not really common on NL.

Look at d way a person with common sense answered my question



Here's my response 2 his comment



With all ur common sense, u should no that u don't plant palm trees in d city. They are meant 2b planted in d farm. There are other ornamental plants u can use 4 beautification

gbosaa:


Rochas must have afflicted you with his iberiberism type of common sense. South East states need trees to hold the vulnerable soil together not mr Rochas’s fake palm trees.
Organic palm trees are not the only trees that could be planted for either the beautification of the environment or for ecological reasons.

That tree is a pollutant and deserve no space in sch a place but of course mr Okorocha just lije his peers do not listen to or consult experts in such subjects. That’s why he mounted a statute of Jacob Zuma of all people so as to propagate some personal and selfish goals.
Of all the lessons and ideas he’d copy from Dubai, it’s their fake and flashy palm trees! Nonsense.

massmediang:
The artificial trees fixed at major roads in Owerri, Imo State capital by former governor of the State, Rochas Okorocha, have started falling one after the other.
Some of the trees began to rot from the base and fell as the strength of the material caved in.

Parts of the state capital could be seen littered with fallen artificial trees meant to beautify the town.

Lack of common sense was the initial reason for your ignorant and unintelligent question because, at your old age, you should know the difference between artificial and organic including maintenance.

Other ornamental trees are not the topic of discussion, we are talking about the ones the former governor of Imo state installed that you lawless, antisocial and destructive elements are destroying.
