Ikengawo:
Please stop being partisan and be rational. I was beginning to hold you in higher esteem until I saw your pathetic stunt in the Enugu thread and now this.

I'm going to say it again. It's barbaric and undemocratic to make a statue celebrate your own electoral victory. No matter the circumstances around it. I know most Nigerians aren't used to democratic thinking and thus it doesn't work well in our country but it's very despotic and outrageous to do this. If the people build one of you, that's fine, but if you build one in the glory of your own electoral victory it's not. You can like Rochas without pretending everything he does is just and right.

Again, if Obama, the first black president if a country built on slavery, made a statue to himself he would be impeached and the people would be outraged by such a despotic action. Why? because If you look at the people in the world today and recent history that have made statues to themselves

Mummar Ghaddaffi
Kim Jung Il and Kin Jung Un
Saddam Hussien
Joseph Stalin
Mao Tse Tsung
Vladmir Lenin
Rochas Okorocha

You will notice a pattern. Regardless of the circumstance of his election, it's a hideously barbaric and despotic act. I don't know why our people must be so crude and tactless in their bombast.

The only statue ever made of anybody in Imo State is that of Ojukwu at Hero Square. Dont out of being partisan deviate from reality. Okorocha has made neither statue nor billboard of himself for now. People like you and I are the ones that have tried to make some billboards in order to let others know they appreciate Okorocha. All you can see that depicts Okorocha is the phrase "Rescue Mission".

If you however know of any other please tell me. Lets take the popular one at Rockview for example

When the screaming headline came on almost all the local tabloids in Imo State: “Cona In Trouble For Allegedly Deceiving Okorocha Over Billboard,” I was standing side-by-side at a newsstand close to Concorde Hotel reading newspapers with a contractor who I believe must have tasted the rod of Governor Okorocha. After going through the paper, he then asked, “Can Cona deceive this man who knows the in and out of politics, and who also play a deceptive one?”Then, I furthered by knowing what really transpired between the duos. First, I started by reading the story line by line. It reads: “For allegedly deceiving Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State into believing that he constructed the giant billboard bearing his portrait in front of Rock-View Hotel (formerly Modotel) free of charge for the governor, the contractor, Prof Chinedu Asinu-Anosike popularly known as Cona, may be heading for trouble”.“The reason, according to sources from the office of Chief of Staff to the governor, Prince Eze Madumere is that Cona had some months ago allegedly misled the Chief of Staff to believe that he mounted the billboard as part of his support to his Rescue Mission government”. As part of his contribution? How can Prince Eze Madumere now suddenly become a man to be fooled? I mean, how can somebody make him believe that he situated the billboard, or secretly supporting the government led by Okorocha without making it open? At least the likes of Leo Stan-Ekeh who did theirs, we saw them presenting car keys to the governor on the paper. If we can reason this together we will find out that this is just a written script by someone who is buying favour from the boss, or someone who wants to pull the fellow down.Furthering, “one of the sources said the Chief of Staff went ahead to inform Governor Okorocha that Cona did the billboard for him resulting to the robust relationship, Prof Asinu-Anosike has been enjoying with the governor and COS without the latter knowing that Cona was paid by Rock-View Hotel management for the job. According to the source, “since the truth is known, it will be very difficult for Cona to get any contract again from the government.” Who is the source, and what could make Cona not to handle contract for the Imo State government again? Presently or in the past, people who have been following events in the State would agree that Cona has not done any printing job for the present government in the State, or has ever visited the government house for job solicitation, unlike the ones he did for Ex-governor Ohakim, and also doing for the Abia State government and other state governments he consults for; which also have his imprints boldly on them.

of all the tribes bordering the Igbo nation, its the mgbokos(Ibibio-efik) that I appreciate most. they're still steadfast and refuse to see us as enemies who want to dominate them kos they know the truth.
now the ogoni,idoma,igala,Bini with the exception of the ijos are coming to that realization.
apart from Imo and abia that's 100% Igbo and Ebonyi that's 99%,Enugwu and Anambra which are 97% & 98% respectively should do more to acculturate the idomas and igalas living there or exchange them with Igbos living in kogi and Benue states respectively. this way we can rid ourselves of claims and counterclaims of marginalization and exploitation that's common place in Nigeria.
even though we Igbos have a stake in the SS and parts of the middle belt,we respect their cultures

Only Imo State is a complete Igbo State by language. Abia has an Ibibio speaking group known as "Itu mbuzon". Even Imo State's complete Igbo status could be questioned if Ukwuani, Etche, Egbema and Ikwerre are considered as distinct languages.

cjrane:
If you as a non Igbo know new Owerri, why would i not? I don't need to post any pictures or satellite imagery of Owerri here to buttress my point. Just contribute positively in Enugu thread without stoking controversial issues to start an e-war

Calling me non-Igbo is absurd. I will always contribute to any Igbo thread no matter what people like you and Chino say or do. I know Igbo more than 99% of Nairalanders and even real life Igbos and the interest of Igbo remains my priority.

cjrane:
You can change monikers and respond to yourself, that is your own headache.

This post and all the pictures accompanying the post conveyed your clear insinuations that Owerri was more beautiful because it had better soil than Enugu and her inhabitants were more enlightened not to see aesthetics as a waste of money unlike most inhabitants of Enugu except Independence layout or maybe Trans-Ekulu.

I understand you do not really know that "New Owerri" is just an area in Owerri like Trans-Ekulu. I guess that is why you misunderstood my post.

cjrane:
We have already been through that mess too many times and we know where such insidiously silly posts usually land us. Even my responding to you has a potential of drawing fire from people like B2Mario, Ikengawo, Faun etc. The same way we have asked Chino to respect himself and post relevant pictures in relevant state threads, you should not come here insinuating that Owerri is better than Enugu, even if it were true.

I love Owerri very much,but i also know your antics very well. It is all about probing for someone to dispute your assertion and all hell will break loose here again.

Please where did I write or insinuate that Owerri is better than Enugu? You have a problem.

cjrane:
My point is that you should stop your inferiority complex.

Enugu and Owerri are great Igbo cities, unique in their own ways and we know which is better in each respect.
You have been denounced as an Ikwerre boy by the great Imo people. Why aren't you talking about PH instead of Owerri?
You derive sadistic joy when Igbos are deceived by your antics and begin to pummel each other.

The attempt to compare Igbo cities have usually resulted in disastrous flared emotions and e-wars to derail the thread. You have been part and parcel of that unfortunate event in the past and should not repeat the same useless tricks here again to derail this thread.

I do not see anything wrong with what I wrote and I did not compare. I only made remarks based on obvious observation. You guys should stop being hypocrites and come out the closet. My contribution remains unedited and it is left for the free mind to go through it and point out my sin.

vanbonattel:
for your information, all the roads in world bank are very bad. The only road which rochas started to repair towards umuguma is left for flood since 4 ? Months. The market there is eyesore and up to 39 streets within world bank is dilapidated. The only good news is hotel hotel hotel and more hotels being build by private money to turn owerre to sodom and gonorrhea

Every city has a slum. In Owerri we have World bank, Amakohia, Douglas and Uratta. World bank shall surely get Government attention when Umuguma becomes peaceful. The problem with some of them is self destructive politics from land dispute. That scares away investors and government presence.



http://www.imostateblog.com/2012/05/17/blood-clash-owere-nchi-ise-umuguma-in-land-ownership-tussle/


Last may not have been heard over Area K
land saga at the World Bank Area of Owerri
regarding its real onwership as another
group has emerged laying claim to the same
land resulting to a bloody clash between the
disputants where all sorts of dangerous
weapons were brandished and used freely.
It would be recalled that the present
administration led by Owelle Rochas Okorocha
had earmarked Area K for its monumental
projects – A twenty five storey five star hotel,
Akachi, the proposed tallest tower in Africa
and Ecumenical Centre. No sooner had the
Imo State Government cleared the land in
question that people of Owerri nchi ise of
Owerri Municipal invaded the land claiming it
was their ancestral home. For almost one
month, they had succeeded holding
Government to ransom as the contractors had
withdrawn their equipment for fear of
vandalizing them.


That ecumenical centre has now been sited elsewhere.

LordNaya:
Some structures in New Owerri was built by Gov Rochas.

Not some but high level of infrastructural improvement. Some people have short memories but I dont. Above all I am now armed with pictoral evidence unlike in the past that I did not visit for long.

While people are busy thinking of Okorocha`s idea, almost every official event of most organisations is being held in Owerri this year. The funny thing is that all the people that attended these functions seem ever willing to make a comeback visit.

spodathug:
As per owerri I am not impressed with okorocha the town is still a very small town not growing nor expanding with Wider roads and city planning,suburbs like irete,avu,obinze,ihiagwa,nekede,naze,akwakuma,amakohia etc should be well planned with streets but this present government aint doing any thing about it,they leave people to build houses any how with no mapped out street and major road even if not tarred for the main time as its been done in lagos and other yoruba cities. on Oguta the most educated town in imo state,a potential federal government inland port town,a town with fresh water swamp,a town with oil/gas activities,a lake and tourist town,finally a huge agricultural potential town,okorosha government still left the town unplanned with wider streets,as in en I don tire for mallam okorosha I swear.

Apart from Aba and Enugu no other town is larger in landmass than Owerri in the Southeast. Use google earth and get your facts.

FG is not playing their role with regards to Igbo interest in any way. Thats why all the federal roads in Southeast were neglected and the Onitsha/Oguta port given little attention. The Degbam invasion of Ohaji is a bad influence from Rivers State which some Abuja politicians plan to use and destabilize Imo State. Oguta people will never join in that nonsense. It will start and end at Egbema or Ohaji. If you are one better have a rethink cause life has no duplicate.

B2mario:
Abagworo is this not the uncompleted road you were talking about?

This is not the road. I posted a clearer plc of this road with signpost written Mgumoha street. Go back to my post and see the road I was writing about. It has stone base but looks abandoned with overgrown grass. Theres a childrens park on the road.

nedu2000:
This is great news,Imo state will become the medical tourist attraction of west Africa soon enough,the governor seems to be thinking and at a relatively good price too,this would definitely 'ave been labelled a multi-billion dollar project if it were in some states & federal level

Gradually things are changing unannounced while the media war remains that of lies, deceit and blackmail. When a government works, the victory is for the masses and not political heavyweights.

Jonathan and his friends take Igbos for fool. I'm far too intelligent to fall for their pranks. The way they left all the federal roads leading in and out of Aba to rot while using media to blame the compromised Governor is the epitome of "Oye sir masa". Igbos are used as the weapons in destroying Igboland and they readilly do that for money. Peter Obi, Arthur Eze and Emeka Offor are some of them.

Ohaji section and not Owerri please. From Owerri to Umuagwo is good. We've cried to FG about that road and even the Governor has done same. Lets wait till December and see what happens.

The Imo State Government, in conjunction with its civil servants, have built an ultra-modern N150m cancer palliative centre where the poor and sick could access healthcare, especially in treatment of all types of cancerous ailments and kidney- related problems.The centre, which was built through three years of deduction of civil servants’ salaries, would be commissioned in November.Briefing journalists yesterday after inspecting the complex located on the outskirts of Owerri, the Director of Imo Foundation, Barrister Ngozi Njoku, disclosed that the construction of the project was made possible by the Imo civil servants whose salaries were deducted over the years for the project.While thanking them for authorising such deductions for the purpose, she disclosed that the complex was built and modeled after the MD Anderson World Cancer Centre in Houston, United States.“The project has cost between N130 and N150m. I owe gratitude to civil servants in the state for their financial contributions to it, by monthly deductions of certain percentage from their salaries,” she said.Njoku disclosed that necessary equipments for the take-off had been shipped, with a hoppe of arrival in the country in November.The treatment complex, known as Imo Foundation Complex, has a premise encompassing 20-bedroom guest house, cancer diagnostic and treatment centre, housing pain therapy, counseling, family support and administrative units and offices.According to her, training programme for the health workers who would handle and operate the equipment is to be undertaken by some foreigners who are expected to treat the cancer and kidney patients.Njoku disclosed that her trip to the United States was for the project, thanking the Governor Rochas Okorocha for giving her the opportunity to serve in that capacity.On the centre’s guest house, she stated that the governor authorised such for the safety of the foreign health personnel who will live there, and for security guarantee. She stressed that the state government would be employing the services of volunteer health workers and officials to ensure that the operation of the centre was not crippled by strikes.“We don’t want a situation of strikes there as there would be no health worker to take care of the patients there,” the director said.According to her, the foundation, being the brainchild of the governor on his assumption of office in 2011, was legalised by a legislative act Many people, she added had benefitted from treatment of kidney transplants in India, which in most cases, costs as much as N6m.

Kinkale:
For those goons who dosn't see beyond APC-PDP politics, ask about akpajo road.. D holdup there compares to lagos holdup. The road connects onne port with ph and is one of the most used road in ph. A quarter of that money would have saved people the time spent there. If you wanna go from eleme junction to aba, the road there speaks for it self. I must say Ameachi did a good job during his tenures, but its quite obvious that this monorial was a total waste of income. Whats the gain begining a project you can't finish? Its an obvious fact that the next government won't continue this project. Abeg call a spade a spade

East-West Road.

click2cbn:
So does it mean that if someone posts something contrary to ROCHAS praise singing, he is termed an enemy of Imo or is not from Imo? Millionaireman is crying for more developmental projects to his LGA and all abagoro has to do is to call him a fool and then said he is not from Imo state?

Theres a difference between contrary opinion and outright lying or repetition of same clause for 3 years with same pictures. The issue is a 419 project from FG but in order to derail tbis thread he keeps repeating same and ascribing it to Okorocha. If he is not a fool he should open a thread asking FG to complete the project as well as others scattered across Igboland including especially Nnewi to Okigwe via Arondizuogu.

According to a BPP document, BPP/S.1/Vol.VII/09/059, dated
May 21, 2009 and captioned “Certificate of no objection for
award of contract”, the BPP stated: “Having examined your
request and all the documents forwarded confirms that the
project has satisfied all due process requirements for issuance
of
no objection for the award of the contract”.
While giving the project name as “construction of Umuna
Erosion Control Works at Orlu Local Government Area of Imo
State”, BPP gave the name of the project contractor and cost as
Messrs C.L.S. Limited and N119,632,175.30 respectively.
The BPP document which was signed by the Director General,
Engr. Emeka M. Ezeh and Engr. Nebolisa O. Emodi, disclosed
that the source of funding is the N120 million under the
Ecological Fund as approved by Mr. President, while the
implementing Ministry/Agency is the National Committee on
Ecological Problems (NCEP)/Anambra-Imo River Basin
Development Authority.
The question now is: When will this project, which was
approved
in May 21, 2009, take off? Until the project commences and is
completed, the villagers remain refugees in their land.

nigerianvenom:
a few roads? whats ur defintion of few arresa?



dont say what u no nothing about, that stadium is one of his second terms project and who told u it hasnt been completed?is nig vs South african match going to be play in an uncompleted stadium?when u lack what to say,ur mouth says whatever ur brain vomit.

The truth is that Akpabio is not on Amaechi's league. What Amaechi has done in all aspects of development is way beyond Akpabio's reach. He also built a stadium which I consider a waste since Port Harcourt has older underutilised Stadia at Elekahia and in Town. I never was a fan of the monorail but I recently started appreciating the motive though costly. I believe that if we must tell ourselves the truth, the monorail for now is as useless as the Uyo flyovers. They serve more as beautification or status symbol than anything else. Even the bombadier jets bought by both Governors are for ego boosting. I still give it to Amaechi on making more impacts than his fellow megarich State Governors of Akwaibom, Delta and Bayelsa.

millionaireman:
Ha ha ha, You resorted like others to insulting contrary opinion, after you finished your celebration of road pictures in Orlu as development. Do you even know what constitutes develooment? Roads that are not coupled with aticulated drainage system wash away shortly after. Have you seen the ones Udenwa built, they are all nearly gone. Yes we campaigned for Okorocha in 2011, but without insulting people with opposing views. With you people's system, you are creating more opponents for Okorocha.

Define development and tell me where is developed in Nigeria?

CyberG:
Weren't ibos making fun of flooding in other places in Nigeria recently? By the way, can someone update Nairaland on this monorail system? Nigerians must make it a task to always keep our so called leaders on their toes!

The wayoman has served his tenure and they are still trying hard to launder his pampered image. He is now in PDP.

^^^^^ The same useless noisemakers were rejoicing over their fake and imaginary monorail projects that's never going to see any sunlight lai lai..

They even stole internet pictures to further their imaginary monorail dreams and fantasies..

Their useless leaders didn't build one single classroom in 16 PDP years, but they are talking about monorail.

Do you see them in both threads talking about waste and corruption?..

When others do what they can not do, they go bunkers with bad bele, hate, bitterness and tantrums


Ndo...

Leave them to die in bitterness. They know the truth but keep selling their soul for money.

nigerianvenom:
come,dont ever compare ur failed ameachi to the bold.
its like comparing life and dead.
akpabio is a talent so rare in nigeria

Talent in building flyovers in an empty part of town for beautification. Please go and tell the wayoman that flyover is to ease traffic congestion. Stadium to serve as what? Where is the population or great team to attract spectators if not Super eagles? Bad rural roads and persistent perenial flooding. The governor I judge as the best is Rochas Okorocha because he used 130billion to perform wonders in 3years. That is 6months income for Rivers and Akwaibom but Amaechi is far better than other mega rich Governors including Akpabio.

millionaireman:
At least there is ABIA state University a stone throw from Okigwe, there is inflow of money and population to the city, Okigwe students profit from attending lectures from home. Okorocha opened up another full College of Education in the area. There is federal Govt College in Okigwe, money flows in to Okigwe from there. We threw in everthing in 2011 and campaigmed for Rochas, requested for pipe borne water and multifaculty university in Orlu. Only fools are suffered gladly: Rochas knows that school of Health Technology in Orlu is not a multi faculty tertiary institution, neither is the campus of three depts of ImoPoly..

Orlu is actually more developed than Okigwe and also has far more richer and educated people. College of health and nursing is 2 in Orlu. 1 at Amaigbo and another at Okporo. Though more proximal to Owerri, Imo polytechnic is actually in Orlu zone.

You are also a big fool and nomentity to dare claim you put any effort in bringing Okorocha to power. You smell of bitterness and corruption and you are definitely not from Imo.

Found this 2010 link on that St Joseph flood and its a federal project gone wrong. Millionaireman should direct his anger to Jonathan and Orlu zone legislators.

Chidi Nkwopara
FOR the people of Uzoubi, Umuna, Orlu Local Government Area
of Imo State what began as a small season challenge has today
snowballed into a huge disaster.
Trouble began in 1984, when Umusasa, one of the five villages
in Umuna experienced its first flooding. In 1986, the flood
spilled over, destroying farmlands and crops, buildings collapsed,
domestic animals drowned and household furniture were
destroyed.
Today, Umuna has become a pilgrimage centre of sorts where
people go to reflect on the disastrous work of nature. To some
scholars, the community has become an excursion site where
they see and record their findings for the advancement of
knowledge. To yet another group of visitors, the flood site is a
tourist attraction, a seven-day wonder and people are simply
amazed at how residential and commercial buildings were taken
over by flood and their occupants summarily sacked.
Uzoubi, Umuna, is best described as a community in the valley
but presently houses some of the major landmarks associated
with Orlu local council area. Apart from being thickly populated,
this troubled community boasts of the magnificent and soul-
uplifting Saint Joseph’s Catholic Church, the Orie Ugwu and Orlu
International Markets, as well as Evan Enwerem University
Teaching Hospital.
On June 27, 2005, the traditional ruler of the community, Eze
Boniface C. Okereke, the President General, Chief Chris Uzoagba
and Secretary General, Chief Bob Onyeje, sent a letter to one of
their own and the immediate past governor of the state, Chief
Achike Udenwa, titled: “Flood water claims human life in
Uzoubi-Umuna”.
This was their complaint: “The yearly event in Uzoubi-Umuna for
the past 18 years has registered its arrival this year with a claim
of the life of a child of about 12 months. This time, a son of Mr.
Raymond Duruiheoma, a native of Atta in Njaba Local
Government Area, residing at 2, Duruaku Street, Uzoubi-Umuna.
This incident happened 12th June, 2005. Properties lost by the
residents of the said building are estimated in millions of
Naira”.
They also told Udenwa in the said letter that barely two weeks
after another 18-hour torrential rain hit the community, adding
that the additional water over ran the entire community. They
mentioned the worst hit areas as the royal father’s palace,
Duruaku Street, Umusasa Road, Egbunine Street, Nwangaji Street,
Umudiato Road, Ebenator Road, Amaigbo Road, Central School 1
premises, Saint Joseph’s Catholic Church premises and Umuorji
Street.
Explaining how the 12-month old boy died in the flood, the
royal father said: “On this fateful day, the flood was beyond the
control of the dwarf walls, as it pulled down the perimeter wall
and covered all the rooms downstairs at 1 Eze Okereke Road”.
An enraged traditional ruler told Vanguard Metro that “Chief
Udenwa did nothing to ameliorate the plight of his brothers in
Uzoubi-Umuna until he left office”. He recalled with grief how
perimeter fencing of several buildings was pulled down by the
angry flood.
“About 10,000 residential and commercial buildings are
submerged yearly in flood and properties conservatively
estimated at billions of Naira have been lost to the flood. Sheep,
goats, rams, dogs, chickens and other domestic birds were
drowned”, the royal father lamented.
He recalled that the attempt by the past administration to give
access roads to Orlu International Market and the Teaching
Hospital without defined flood discharge points has rendered
many living at the East-end of the International market
homeless. The same poor planning affected the construction
work at Amaigbo Road, hence the over flooding of the Catholic
Church premises and the buildings around it.
Another pathetic aspect of the flood disaster is that of the
primary school built in 1919 by the Catholic Church which is on
the verge of being closed down. If this happens, what is the
fate of the children of school age in this area is the question
begging for answer.
Eze Okereke disclosed that early 2005, FERMA attempted to
rehabilitate the Amaigbo Road but the angry flood sacked them
and the job has remained unattended to till date, despite the
ray of hope ignited in 2009 by the Bureau of Public Procurement
(BPP).
According to a BPP document, BPP/S.1/Vol.VII/09/059, dated
May 21, 2009 and captioned “Certificate of no objection for
award of contract”, the BPP stated: “Having examined your
request and all the documents forwarded confirms that the
project has satisfied all due process requirements for issuance of
no objection for the award of the contract”.
While giving the project name as “construction of Umuna
Erosion Control Works at Orlu Local Government Area of Imo
State”, BPP gave the name of the project contractor and cost as
Messrs C.L.S. Limited and N119,632,175.30 respectively.
The BPP document which was signed by the Director General,
Engr. Emeka M. Ezeh and Engr. Nebolisa O. Emodi, disclosed
that the source of funding is the N120 million under the
Ecological Fund as approved by Mr. President, while the
implementing Ministry/Agency is the National Committee on
Ecological Problems (NCEP)/Anambra-Imo River Basin
Development Authority.
The question now is: When will this project, which was approved
in May 21, 2009, take off? Until the project commences and is
completed, the villagers remain refugees in their land.

tabletman1:
Never wanted to comment on this thread.

But with this mr man, you lied and accuse someone else of lying.

That st. Joseph normally get flooded whenever it rains, not just a serious rain but 2mins rain. Abagowro actually knows this that's why he mistook st joseph for st augustine, why don't u snap the double two storey buildings behind st joseph? People in that compound have packed out due to flooding.
Farmlands and some houses normally get flooded at orlu especially around that st Joseph.


You people will still go there in dry season and get me pictures of those building when the occupants must have pack in to call me a liar.

Where exactly is St Joseph. There was actually no flooding in Orlu the day I took the pictures but I have read on internet about flood problems of Orlu just like I also read of Owerri, Enugu, onitsha Aba and Uyo.

Ikengawo:
Rivers has better facilities but anambra has better people. I like obi because his projects were for bombast and showmanship. People in their ignorance declared he was a non performer because he wasnt developing nta and channelstv. Suddenly when test scores came out, people saw who was doing what and who was making noise. When all of these industrialists and federal projects started reigning in their investments in anambra the sky's became clear. Not to say obi was amiable because anambra still looks like a war zone but im more into results than noise. This is why I like Sullivan

Abeg spare me the hypocrisy and come all out of your closet. You cannot compare Amaechi with any Governor of his income class like Akpabio, Uduaghan, Jonathan/Sylva/Dickson in all aspects of governance. The Presidency is fighting Amaechi from all angles but yet he refused to stumble and is adding more and more to his achievements. They have gone to media blackmail but I Abagworo am on ground and will not let lies cover the truth.

These wines are made in Nigeria and in Imo State.

My joy at this moment is that it is no longer all about Owerri like it was in the past. All tbe banks now have branches in Orlu and even other villages around Orlu which is a clear sign of spread development. New industries are also springing up there as well as other adjoining towns like Umuaka, Nwaorieubi and Ubomiri.

Here is picture of Rochas model school and some glimpse of Nkume town just South of Orlu in Njaba LGA.

A lot of people do not also know that Stavivo aluminium door hinges better known as "Chief" is manufactured in Orlu. Maybe because the head office is in Lagos. The factory is at Amaifeke in Orlu Imo State.

http://www.campharmltd.org/aboutus.html

There are much more pharmaceutical factories im Orlu as well as paint and palm oil processing industries. This new one at Owerriebeiri caught my attention.

Judging from my movement around Orlu and immediate environs, 2 roads are unfinished.

1 is old Owerri road but it looks like there is serious work and it will be completed year end or early next year. The 2nd road though short could have helped ease movement within Orlu central but looks completely abandoned and overgrown with grass. There is what looks like ITC park, a lively joint and children's park on that road. I dont know the name but here is the picture. Okorocha needs to complete this road.
