For those that always hike prices of goods/services, basing it on dollar increase....hope say una don hear am! Expecting it to hit 200 soon!!!

Now, where's this economist who was ranting here about oil this, balance of trade that? You see that it was just an artificial hike, just like in petrol stations!!

adonbilivit:
so u actually think wike authorized them to levy them for his(wike') perfume? fact is, they may have been paying for that, but it is definitely not a directive from the office of the governor.

Others that follows are appraisal attack on magnus campaign office. I didn't see all that in the news

cupid4ig:
so u don't see any thing else to show us except picture of rockview hotel and another hotel? Smh for you

I knew that my guy Phyno is connecting with his latest ‘drop’. I just did not know how much until last Sunday.

Sunday was Valentine’s Day and I was caught up in Owerri, the Imo State capital and the entire city seemed to be on fire. I was shocked to find out how much and how wide the Valentine madness has spread. Those of us who live in Lagos love to think that everything happens in our city. Sometimes, we grudgingly cut some slack for Abuja and maybe Port Harcourt.

How wrong we are!

Boy, last Sunday, Owerri was locked down. Despite the new beautiful network of roads, there was heavy traffic everywhere. All over the city, provocatively dressed damsels held hands and smooched with their beaus with no apologies to anyone.

Owerri easily has more sassy hotels per square kilometer than any other city in Nigeria and the hotels are well run. On Valentine’s Day, the hotels tried to outdo each other. There was music, comedy and fun everywhere.

In my job, I travel quite a bit. As a result, I have seen top hotel rooms in top cities in nearly every continent across the world. This past Valentine’s Day, I had the pleasure of spending my time in one of the best hotel rooms I ever stayed in. Not in Paris, Geneva, Las Vegas or any other exotic city, it was in Owerri! I am not talking about the well-known Concorde Hotel which today is much better than when it was first built.

Believe me Owerri which not long ago was a glorified village is rapidly becoming an exotic city, remarkably clean with some great roads, it’s own international convention center, it’s own man-made water falls in the city and some smartly dressed traffic control officials.

Owerri even has its own ‘Freedom Square’ where you can go and say anything you want and curse the governor as much as you like and nobody is allowed to arrest you! Exotic houses are springing up all over the city too.

On Valentine’s Day, I invited over my cousin’s wife and her kids. When they arrived, we stepped over to the expansive swimming pool area in the hotel. Mayhem is probably the only way to describe the gaily dressed crowd in the place. It was fun ‘agogo’! It took us quite a while to even get a place to sit.

The music was loud and the stand-up comedy raunchy and x rated. I thought it was a little over the bar for what should be a family environment. I was uncomfortable and glanced at my cousin’s wife, a Christian in every way. She was clearly having a good time with her boys and girls in their teens and twenties.

It became clear to me that despite my significant travels and Lagos residence, I was the bush man. While I was in my cocoon, the world has learnt to laugh at words like f**k and c**t. Sex is now openly discussed in front of mother and kids. That is the nature of an exotic environment.

I had thought that Nigerian Breweries ‘Ace Roots’ was not in demand. In Owerri, ‘Ace Roots’ is on fire and Star Radler is in demand. On Valentine’s Day, I saw people rock to the music of Davido, Olamide, Flavour, 2 Baba and more.

It was however delirium and commotion when Phyno’s ‘Connect’ blasted off the speakers. The people appeared to be in a trance. There is no question that Phyno has connected with ‘Connect’ in a crazy way.

Guys, I have heard repeatedly that nothing is happening in Imo State. It is a big lie. So much is going on. I never was a fan of Rochas Okorocha but it would be insane not to say the truth

kenny1313:
this is one of the major reason I don't support the biafra course, we igbo we don't like our selfs. Rochas is 10 level ahead of every south east politician for your info. An from Imo state and it's hatred and greed that is the problem of my brothers and sisters in Imo trying all they could to rubbish Owelle it won't work just watch out and see how rochas ll relax like Amaechi after his tenure in Imo state. #Rochasweknow. #Hehasthebiggestfoundationinwestafrica. U guys can't stop Owelle Idi igbo.

Callmemike:
Yes. I know people owed more that a year. Very sure. What bothers me is why you support falsehood with your whole breath. You are pitiable

slap1:
Propaganda what? Chief I live in Owerri, and Rochas is a collosal scam. We have never had it this bad in Imo State. I know people he hasn't paid since March, 2015.

Melkizedek:
Pretty sure Abagworo will be hiding his skin right now...when he has found somewhere safe he will post another bout of mischievous and deceitful propaganda.

Asiri1991:
Owerri is beautiful. What a city?

Leopantro:
But OP, you have always maintained that this Governor is a man of the people, a visionary that wants only the best for his people. He will never let his people and the state to suffer that is why all his policies have been people oriented and Progress driven.
Ironic that you are in the midst of the NLC protesters and not the protesters of youth hired to counter protest and praise the governor for all the wonderful things he has done for the state.
Wish I had the time, I would print out all the glowing epistle you have ever written about him and distribute it to that group you are in.
The effect would be soul lifting.

asha80:
what is the outcome of the truce because I have not heard anything here

godwin120alex:
Is a lie he didn't sack ghost workers instead he told the teachers to sign a form in Dec 15 which states that if the see worker after Christmas break they will work but if not those that did not see work will consider themselves sacked and the teachers refused.All the contract is done by his relatives in the stated

Flyoruboy:
