Useless envious frustrated old man, go and face your bankrupt worthless backward Imo state. Ezi ofia


[s][/s]

Show us schools built by Obiano. This is politics section not education. Every State has beautiful private and mission schools but the Governor deserves no credit for them.

christejames:


Can you beat your chest that the governor did nothing in the state? All the physical infrastructures he has been inaugurating and commissioning are for the neighboring state I guess. O! I forgot because he hasn't built any grandiose or white elephant project that would shoot him to the limelight of our polity that's why you are complaining?

Take a chill pill and relax Bro!

They want him to focus on Enugu city like Sullivan Chime and therefore all his good works at Nsukka isn't good enough.

This thread has nothing doing here. It should be the best State owned schools in Anambra not private and Mission schools.

It takes a free minded visit to Owerri to confirm it's the fastest developing city in Nigeria aside Lagos and Abuja. Okorocha allowed people write lies against him without taking necessary action as a deterrent making his enemies have a field day in media manipulation. They twist good deeds to bad and quote fake amounts for projects.

donstan18:
All we saw and read is that A man left his wife and kids and moved in with another woman , we have no idea of what happened, neither can we say what possibly made the man do so, his wife is more pretty and beautiful that the mistress, so it's surprising to see such thing happen.

Most woman are directly or indirectly responsible for the negative change in their man

They are their own enemy.

---

Well, that doesn't still justify the man's act.

I just don't think this is ordinary because his wife is beautiful and younger the this old woman he move in with....i think for her to wickedly and desperately solve this challenge, she should lock her mind to go beyond ordinary.

But for her to wisely solve it, she should wisely live and manage with their kids, because no human is worth fighting or killing for.

Beauty is the last rung in the ladder of peaceful marriage. Character and forgiving spirit is very important.

Let him without sin be the 1st to cast the stone. I can swear that at least half of those youths have patronized this Ghetto.

This n1gga ought to be Aregbesola's son. That's socks and not shoes. Please correct the heading.

Thanks for that observation. I almost wanted to comment without looking well. The guy is not on shoes.

asha80:
very laughable..he shouldn't have touched the chukwuma nwoha extension then

Where is Chukwuma Nwoha extension? This one ends at MCC road while from MCC to Egbu will either be done later this year by Okorocha or his successor after May 2019. What I will like to see is this one well marked with reflectors, traffic signs and sidewalks.

The opponents of Governor Rochas Okorocha’s administration in Imo State appear somewhat frustrated. Out of this self-inflicted frustration, you see anger, hatred, and, to a large extent, stagnation. To ease this frustration, they always try to make something out of every incident or situation in the state. They pursue with vigour whatever they think can help them out of this frustration, but all to no avail. They have not been able to make any headway. And there is a reason for that.
The reason is this: All those leading the motley opposition in the state have been one thing or the other. Some of them were senators, governors and House of Representatives members. And Imo people know them, their antics, their antecedents, weaknesses and strength, if any. They have, therefore, no valid claim to make against Governor Okorocha or against his administration. So, what they normally do is to use every issue that comes up to scratch the governor to see whether that can help them in any way.
For instance, look at the alleged attack against the Catholic Bishop of Owerri Diocese, Archbishop Anthony Obinna. The opponents of the administration have been labouring in vain to see if they could score any political goal with that false allegation, even when the man at the centre of the matter had spoken, indeed, the truth of the matter. The Archbishop himself told The Guardian, one of the most reputable newspapers in this country, on Monday, March 5, 2018 (Page : “Please tell the people the truth. Nothing like that happened. Nobody beat me. I was neither beaten nor manhandled by any person.” That was 24 hours after what was said to have happened at the burial service. If it were any other person that said that, they would have said the government had gone to bribe him or her to say the opposite of what happened. But they cannot say that about the Bishop. Yet, they have continued to make much noise about an incident that only occurred in their blurred imaginations because they are not keen on the truth but on blackmail.
And mind you, up until now, the Bishop has not denied The Guardian report. You then ask, whose report do we believe? The report of the Archbishop said to have been beaten but who said he was not beaten, or the report of a few political opponents in the state? These guys have a fundamental case. They do not know what to do to stop Imo people from loving Okorocha and appreciating his administration. Don’t forget too that when the incident happened, they first said it was Hon. Uche Nwosu, Chief of Staff, Government House, who asked the people to attack the Bishop. When they could not sustain that blackmail, they began to talk about Okorocha, who was not even at the funeral church service. They are desperate about 2019 and have gone haywire.
Writing on the issue on the back page of the Daily Sun of Wednesday, March 7, 2018, one element picked on Governor Okorocha over the issue. He is one of those hired briefcase writers these desperate politicians have engaged to write for them from their hotel rooms. The guy said his name is Ndii Duroha. “Ndii” is not a name. “Ndii” in Igbo is a small creature that looks like a monster and you can use it to frighten little children. And “Duroha” is not also a name. What the Igbo have is “Duruoha.” These are all couriers of blackmail.
You do not also forget that, in 2015, there was nothing they didn’t call Okorocha to also see whether that could help them. They called him “Alhaji in Government House, Okoro Hausa, Buhari-Rochas,” and even said the chapel he built in front of Government House was a mosque. And that the cheque of N450 million he gave to mission schools was dud, when in actual fact it was cashed. They also said that he joined the merger that gave birth to the All Progressives Congress (APC) to assist President Muhammadu Buhari to Islamise Igboland. Unfortunately for them, all this blackmail never helped them in 2015. And there is also no possibility that it would help them in 2019.
Have you asked why they do not talk about demolitions again in Owerri and environs? The reason is that Imo people would stone anybody who talks about that again because they have seen the gains of the Urban Renewal Programme, with Owerri and environs having 10-lane roads at the moment. The exercise is going on now at Wetheral Road, but nobody is talking about it anymore. Why do they not talk about Ekeukwu Owerri Market again? Because they have also seen the differences between the ultra-modern markets built by the government and the shanties they had called markets. Why have they stopped criticising the free education programme? It is because Imo people have seen and are enjoying the benefits of the programme. The state has since 2012 sustained its lead in JAMB applications and is doing well in all spheres. Poor parents do not give out their children again to serve as houseboys or girls. And hawking has disappeared on the streets of Owerri.
The school enrolment that was 280,000 in 2011 has snowballed to 1.2 million at the moment. The poverty level in the state as at 2011 was 57 per cent but today it has gone down to 19 per cent. The record is there.
In fact, have you also asked yourself why these opponents do not accuse Rochas Okorocha of non-performance? None has ever said that. They can only talk about pensions because we have some issues with pension matters. And the issues will soon be resolved. We do not owe salary. And we have always claimed that the achievements of Rochas Okorocha in seven years as governor have far exceeded or surpassed all that those who had governed the state before him since its creation in 1976, both military and civilian put together, had achieved. We have also claimed that Okorocha has more than 1,000 verifiable amazing projects to his credit. And we have challenged anybody who has a contrary claim to that effect to come forward. Luckily enough, some of the ex-governors are still alive. Why is nobody challenging us on these innocuous claims? Money cannot be their problem. They have it. So let them publish what they have, from 1979 to 2011, and we publish ours, with their locations, from 2011 to 2018. That is the best way to go. Blackmail does not make any meaning but valid claims.
What is also the headache of our opponents is 2019. They have no response to our achievements and Imo people see these exploits. So, what would someone tell them in 2019? Okorocha has said he would want someone who would sustain these monumental achievements to succeed him, including free education. And you think Imo people will listen to those who have eaten fat from the purse of the state, than listen to a man who has shown that leadership is all about service to God and humanity? Like we have always intoned, our achievements would be our electoral talisman in 2019.
Now, the issue of Nwosu succeeding Okorocha! Even before the governor came out to say he would support Nwosu, if he comes out for the 2019 governorship, hundreds of thousands of youths, students and women had embarked on solidarity rallies calling on the guy to contest. As we write, 24 out of the 37 local governments in the state have endorsed him because they have seen him as someone who would even work to surpass Okorocha’s record. And it is like a revolution. Why is everybody, including those in APGA, PDP and others, talking about Uche Nwosu? He has become the hottest political figure in the state today, because opponents are yet to see anybody who can beat him in the 2019 election. The major voters in Imo are the youth and women. I am yet to see any aspirant or candidate that will appeal to these groups more than Nwosu. That is the reason for the whole noise.
Again, one of the leading opponents, for instance, was the governorship candidate of PDP in 2007 and he failed. In 2011, he was the candidate of ACN and in the election he came fourth. In 2015, he failed in the PDP primary. So, what did he not have in 2007, 2011 and 2015 that he will have in 2019 to the extent of defeating Nwosu? Another one was governor for four years. He was voted out after his first tenure. In 2015, he failed the PDP primary.
What will be his magic in 2019? One of them had all the federal agencies at his disposal in the 2015 governorship election.
Yet, he could only win in the three local governments that make up where he comes from. So, what other miracle would he perform in 2019? Other aspirants have only come to be counted. This is the reason behind all the political noise in Imo. They know that Nwosu is the man to beat.
They have not also said any other thing against Uche Nwosu except that he is an in-law to Okorocha. And even those who should now better are talking about that. An Nkwerre man cannot be governor because he married the governor’s daughter from Ideato. They have dropped the issue of zoning because they have seen that, since 1979, the governorship of the state has never been left exclusively for any particular zone. That is the campaign for weaker aspirants. And we are contending that, if the only issue Nwosu has for which he cannot be governor is being an in-law to Governor Okorocha, then we should give America back their democracy, since that is where we copied from. The same America, where George Bush became the 43rd president, after his father, George Herbert Walker Bush, had been the country’s 41st president. Again, Bill Clinton was president of America and the wife, Hillary Clinton, was senator and became the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party in the 2016 election. And Americans never talked about her husband being president of that country but concentrated on the capacity of the woman. The question becomes, when will our own democracy grow?
The truth of the matter is that the fate of Uche Nwosu is, first, in the hand of God and, secondly, in the hands of the Imo electorate and not in the hands of weak opponents.

Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Owerri and Kano Airports Served Over 92% of Total Passengers in Q4 2017



• Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Owerri and Kano airports remained the busiest airports through the year of 2017.

• Passengers traveled through Abuja airport largely increased from Q2 (577,386 domestic and 692,207 international) to Q3 (841,401 domestic and 231,414 international) due to the reopening of Abuja airport.

• Kaduna airport recorded higher than usual numbers of domestic traffic in the first two quarters of 2017 (124,996 in Q1 and 129,034 in Q2) since a large proportion of air traffic through Abuja was re-directed to Kaduna after Abuja airport’s closure in March 2017.

• The annual total number of aircraft arrived at or departed from Nigerian airports in 2017 stood at 214,258 which grew marginally by 0.61% from the same quarter in 2016.

• Cargo movement kept declining since the year of 2014. The annual volume of cargo movement in 2017 bottomed at 161,800,520 KG (a decline by 17.07% from the annual figure in 2016).

Stupid hunter. So Nigeria still has elephants outside the Northeastern and Cross River area.

ayzTIGER:
guy stop lying na. Either your not from IMO state or your a paid agent. Okorochas free education is a sham.

What makes it sham? Because PDP argued that it's impossible and Okorocha made it possible then you all go about calling it sham or looking for reasons to prove it's impossible.

Then go solar. The lights are not bright but it saves a lot of money for the State.

This news looks like Ipob news. It is not verified and there has been raging and recurring communal wars in that part of Ebonyi meaning it might be another land dispute.

Chiwude:
This place is magnificent. I have been here before for a school picnic in 2007. We spent like two days here. The lake has a massive golf course and a motel (both are now in a comatose condition). From what I observed, the golf course and the motel were built by late Dee Sam Mbakwe who saw lots of potentials in the lake and sought to make it a world class tourist center. It so unfortunate that successive governments didn't see the potentials of this place, except maybe Governor Ikedi Ohakim.
Good job Abagworo. But can you take more pictures of areas of importance. For example, pictures of the confluence point, photos of the mysterious white and brown waters that do not mix, photos of ferries and sea going vessels, photos of fishermen with their nets and as well of women traders on their way to Onitsha on canoe.

Presently a beautiful resort (Crystal Lake Resort) with ongoing beach is being developed by an indigene as a private sector development while on his part Okorocha is building a 15 km dual carriageway from Mgbidi junction through Oguta. Okorocha rebuilt and equipped the lake resort and even built a conference center during his 1st term but just like everything owned by Government it failed. The present approach of allowing private sector key into the potential is working.

discusant:



STOP.

No Igbo media projected Igbos as rejecting other Nigerians.

Majority of Igbos want Biafra to be restored.

That doesn't mean hatred for other Nigerians.

Igbos want a workable nation that can generate prosperity for the masses of the country. Nigeria is not it.

Let Nigeria conduct a vote, as done in developed countries, to let you see that Igbos want Biafra.


You can't trade the desires of majority of the Igbo for your master Okorocha's ambition of becoming Nigeria's future President.

Stop writing nonsense.

That is your understanding but not mine and others. There's a difference between wanting Biafra and declaring Hausa, Fulani and Yoruba or any Igbo that associates with them as enemy or saboteur.

Oguta lake in its glory.

Ofodirinwa:
Abagworo has to keep posting this propoganda to keep food on his plate. I know him personally.
Abagworo, my warning stands, I will expose you if you don't stop posting these insults

I've told you to expose me Abogwara not Abagworo if you really do know me. I'm a self made billionaire. Your exposure will only prove I am doing it for the sake of truth and posterity.

People fall victim to these traffickers because Government has not been able to create awareness on child adoption for both donor biological parent and adopting foster parent. There's a reason why nature made it possible for some to lack and wish for what others reject.

I'm just trying to imagine if Okorocha was the one who built this road what the view of Ipob media would be.

Ttipsy:
Traffic in owerri. so bad. what is the govt doing?? no traffic lights at strategic intersections to ease it.. watheral/ MCC road is hell.

Traffic lights create gridlocks more than solving them. The issue is that Wetheral by MCC and most intersections should be closed and U-turns created at farther distance. Amaechi solved Aba road traffic problem in Port Harcourt by closing most cross junctions.

horsepower101:


please name one south east governor or government official that doesn't believe in the unity of Nigeria?

Also last I checked, igbos invested all over Nigeria and no other group comes even close. I have never seen you call them patriotic. The moment 1 or 2 Yorubas does it in the east, you start sing praises. What about igbos that have been doing the same thing for so many decades.

Your statement is wrong on so many levels.

Unfortunately you judged me before seeking my view. Only Okorocha and Umahi are bold enough to play the nationalist card. The rest are scared of the Ipob media. Many modern non-Igbos are scared to invest in Igboland because of the hostile impression Igbo media gives. Igbos are traditionally very welcoming but because of politics of bitterness, the Igbo media has projected Igbos as rejecting other Nigerians and wanting a Biafra instead. They declare any Igbo nationalist as saboteur and praise any Igbo politician that promotes tribal hate.

ModalSoull:
I think no need for a stadium since it's a sort of suburban settlement .A recreational community center with track & soccer field, swimming pool,Basketball court, Tennis courts etc, with a few 100 or thousand seats ,perhaps indoors would be much better at the same price. It could serve a population of at least 70,000. A place for public recreation,Olympic trials, and could also be used for minor tournaments such as All African games. Those of you who live in developed nations know what i'm talking about .
And the roads should have markings ,sidewalks and basic traffic signs such as :Stop , School zone, speed limit .Don't forget to cover the drainage (gutter) with the sidewalk . Examine my sketch and go do your homework. Replicate that in all the communities or towns .

Also ,do not forget to ban and criminalize street hawking ,child labor,littering, and just random street loitering .

It's almost impossible to do things as rightly as you want here in Nigeria. Your idea remains a dream we all pray for but resist its manifestation.

Princess Shekinah

A patriotic Southwesterner just completed this school newly at Ihiagwa in Imo State. That's one of the gains in having a detribalised Government that believes in unity of Nigeria.
