Kiddo, Imo State already has many higher institutions both government owned and private. Which one your papa build?

Owerri has uncountable number of streets and the city has grown so large in the last 20 years. Talking about IGR, there is no need taxing people or businesses more when the money won't be judiciously utilized. Imo State has a bigger GDP than most states in Nigeria and that's what matters more.

Run along and stop arguing nonsense!

desmond2pk:


You stop shifting goal post. Osun state has more schools which brought more developments to those towns.
What do we have in imo?
Instead of beatihg empty chest, we should do more for ourselves.
Imo state has nothing and our IGR tells it all.
Orlu has nothing to compare with ife or ilesa etc.
The owerri you guys are talking about is how many streets?
We need more cities in imo state. Government should build more road networks and more market places to encourage businesses. Investors should be encouraged to build more schools in other towns like orlu, okigwe, oguta and mba ise.

Osun state has large modern cities like Ile-Ife, Ilesha, Osogbo- each of them modernised by state government, each of them hosts state and federal education institutions.

Imo State has only Owerri as a modern city maintained by government funds, and Owerri hosting all federal and state government institions in Imo state, as desired by people of Owerri.

Osun state is Yoruba of same culture.

But Imo State is different. Owerri shares culture and identity with Ikwerre of Rivers State, but Owerri does not share culture or identity with either Orlu or Okigwe. I think that is why since the creation of Imo state, with Owerri as capital, people of Owerri started till today to seize every federal and state government development institution in Imo state. Any state government institions located outside Owerri dies off with time.

Owerri never allowed any other town in Imo state to see light. Instead, we have new Owerri, Old Owerri and other once rural communities in Owerri now turned into urban ghettos with no road, no schools, no social amenities.

The truth is without SW, SE cannot survive.

You mean the same south-east in which your evil hegemonic Nigerian gov't has murdered innocent agitators agitating so thye can stop being co-compatriots with your wicked ass!?

I find all these comparisons very annoying and distracting towards the Igbo nation! Other countries are making giant strides in science, technology and their economy, and we're in this cursed country being disturbed by insecure fools always angling to measure dick with us.....the same people they have conspired to cheat and hold down politically and economically since the late 60s!

Lol confused human being affected by the confusion of the Anglo. It is the psychology of the beautiful tag on owerri that's making you reason this way. It's not our fault owerri is more expansively beautiful than any other state capital on ground.

What qualifies a city is the concept of migration into a particular area over time.
So basically a city is a just a place with large population.
In imo state, you even have more non imolites migrate to okigwe and orlu over the years. Such environments naturally host basic education. It doesn't have to be a university.
Infact there are many industries in orlu, ranging from aluminum to pharmaceutical, so it's basically an environment you would find at least craft or basic education in an area.

Just like you have owerri town, you also have okigwe town and orlu town which do not have significant difference in livability.

Okigwe and orlu have other suburbs.

Now let me address your confusion.
Your intention to address Imo as a one city state is born out of an involuntary response to what a city should look like, using parameters like higher education. But you failed to add beauty to one of your parameters..lol.
So you see, non of beauty, or even industry should qualify as a city. It is not by force to have a motor company when you can have a world class entertainment center for tourists.
What primarily qualifies a city is population and basic amenities.; All your so called cities in osun are lacking in basic amenities

How do you explain this in a state created for human and economic development of the entire state:
In Imo state,
FUTO in Owerri
FEDERAL COLLEGE OF EDUCATION in Owerri.
FEDERAL UNIVERSITY TEACHING HOSPITAL in Owerri
FEDERAL POLYTECHNIC in Owerri.
FEDERAL COLLEGE OF LAND AND .. in Owerri.
IMO STATE UNIVERSITY in Owerri.
ALL FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES IN IMO STATE in Owerri.
Etc, etc in Owerri.


But nothing in Orlu and Okigwe?

Is that not madness of coveting government institutions in Owerri?

You see why I said you are confused? what has tertiary institution got to do with composition of a city just like other world class cites?
Most institutions are situated on the outskirts of city center.
FUTO is in ihiagwa. Ihiagwa isn't in owerri municipal council but owerri west LGA.
Imo poly umuagwo is not in Owerri city but on the outskirts.
Fed poly nekede is not in Owerri city but in Owerri west LGA
IMSU teaching hospital is in orlu
IMSU college of medicine is in orlu

Only IMSU and ALVAN is currently in Owerri municipal

Nigercity:

Use that one an compensate yourself 🤣😂

Remove Lagos
Almost everywhere nah jungle for SW 🤣🤣

But only Ibadan city is more developed than the entire SE Igboland.
Even your SE Igbo Voltron on nairaland has continually affirmed this.

Anywhere in the world, Industry or presence of tertiary education institution with high number of employees or students in a place, that is what gives rise to tourism, population and rapid urban expansion in the area.
Even one Industry or education institution with 10000 employees or students is enough to cause rapid population growth and urban expansion in an area.
But Owerri covets more than 200000 students and about 30000 staff of all tertiary education institutions in Imo State all located in Owerri area.
Owerri benefits from all the institutions near it.
It's FAKE NEWS that Imo state university teaching hospital or College of Medicine is in Orlu. It used to be but it has been killed by hatefilled minds in Imo state who want only Federal university teaching hospital in Owerri.
Nothing for Orlu and Okigwe zones.
Example: hardly any indigene of Owerri senatorial zone knows where Orlu and Okigwe are situated in Nigeria. There is nothing o
in Orlu or Okigwe to bring Owerri people there. Owerri people don't even see Orlu and Okigwe as belonging in the same Imo state.

Millimann:

Only Orlu is better than all those villages you listed there, not to even talk of Owerri. Please don't mention Owerri in the same sentence w ith Osogbo. They are not mates. Is it the same Osogbo that I've been to or is there another Osogbo in Osun State?

Someone will just stay in one mud house in Ogbomosho and be writing nonsense.

Owerri is far better than Oshogbo!!!Gosh!! Imo also has Orlu, Okgwe and Oguta

Flee from blind arguments.
I have two relations in nursing that are currently in orlu.
They are all under college of medicine, IMSU

una no dey shame

Ife is the second largest town in Osun, yet it looks like a pig farm. Oguta is not even in the top 10 in Imo, yet it's giving your almighty Ife a bloody nose. The only beautiful places in Ife are the Ooni palace and the univerity.

Ife is not the second largest city in Osun state nevertheless it's more developed than Oguta.

gidgiddy:


From the way you talk, anyone can tell your a Yoruba man claiming to be from Imo State, only an outsider would say that secessionist are are destroying Imo State, because he does not know what is going on there and has to go by what the Lagos/Ibadan expressway media say, rather than what Imolites say

As for this talk about IGR, you can have all the IGR in the world, but if you have nothing to show for it, the IGR is useless

I have often asked Yorubas and the Northerners to show us that place that they developed with their sweat, ingenuity and IGR, that was never capital of anywhere. But they cant. Aba, Nnewi and Onitsha have never been capital of anywhere, but the Igbo man used his sweat and IGR to make those places what they are, with no government help

Let Yorubas and Northerners show us that place they developed without the place needing to be capital city, and recieving massive government help

Everthing in life is not about shouting about IGR and claiming to be politically on top, show us something tangible you achieved on your own

Is Lekki capital of anywhere? Ijebu Ode, Sagamu, Ogbomosho, Ilesa, Ede, Mowe Ibafo, Ikorodu, Epe, Badagry, Sango Ota etc Capital of anywhere?

IamAtikulate:

Please remove Northerner from that your mouth. I can bet it that no Yoruba state capital, except Ikeja, can stand above Kano and Kaduna. Even Katsina City will still give them bloody nose

Ibadan is far more developed than Kano and Kaduna combined.

Nigercity:

Lmao
You are talking nonsense
Pure trash! Because oguta and ihala are almost one separated by state creation
Buh ihala happens to be the core commercial city with multiple banks hotels, different universities in it and oguta is just a stone throw from ihala, you now want all banks in ihala to relocate to oguta..
Make it make sense!
And because ihala is over shadowing oguta
You now come out to say that osun is more developed than imo state..
Like are you really okay?
No place in osun Can lace the shoes of okigwe and orlu, if there is
Mention the place lets compare!

Orlu has a bigger market than osun
Fact, have you been to the imo international market in orlu, same goes to okigwe

You just agreed with him there are not banking activities in Oguta.

Na you know. Yorubas are marginalized in Nigeria. In fact, any yoruba will stand before you as a master, a person deserving honour and respect, not threatened.

You too much expose ignorance here.
Studying Medicine and studying Nursing can only be the same for Owerri rural graduate. There is no more College of Medicine or Imo state university teaching hospital in Orlu since the past three years. What exists in the old site of IMSUTH is College of Nursing.
Owerri people and gov Uzodinma are struggling to get Federal university teaching hospital in Owerri.

Nothing govt survives in Imo state outside Owerri.
When Uzodinma leaves office, Owerri will return the Imo State Polytechnic he relocated from Umuagwo to Omuma back to Umuagwo closest to Owerri.
