Cool, they have been love birds all the time - not brought together by money.

B2mario:
but brother no vex ooo. this one is not a standard stadium it looks more like a square

I am convinced that you have not been to that stadium before, judging from your comment.

The new one seems to have been abandoned, work stopped on it long ago.

Abagworo:
The truth is that the hospital is poorly sited but I don't believe there's any such plan. Udenwa made very grave mistakes in siting his Orlu projects at areas not close to major road. If the Orlu international market was located at city center it would have grown and expanded by now. The teaching hospital was sited in a remote area where nobody can access without a private car or okada. If that hospital was sited along Orlu-Owerri highway it would have attracted patients beyond Orlu all the way to Owerri, Ihiala and Mgbidi. One of the major problems of the hospital is limited number of patients. Rochas Okorocha has built better structures than the poultry farm built by Udenwa .

IMSUTH is best located. It is half-way between two major roads; about 500meters between Old Owerri Road and Amaigbo road within Orlu urban town.
When the road to IMSUTH was good, the institution worked perfectly well and the more than 200 beds always filled.

The hospital's problems were deliberately created when in the last five years, Okorocha hatched his plans to have a soft-landing from Owerri for his private university in his hometown, and deliberately refused to repair the washed out road to IMSUTH, after he promised to dualize the road. He withheld workers' salaries for months, refused to fuel the gens, and darkness enveloped IMSUTH at night.

FYI, Ariaria International market is not sited on Aba-Portharcourt Expressway or on Asa Road. The International market in Orlu booms, stalls nearly fully occupied. You can buy anything here, except humans.

Why is Okorocha govt bent on removing Eke Owerri from Owerri City centre if you believe that International market Orlu should have been built in Orlu City Centre?

B2mario:
@Amah70, I heard that this teaching hospital occupies the two sides of the road and the land has been expanded, and new blocks built. But why then is Rochas trying to relocate it to Owerri after expanding it?

Or the information of relocation is still based on rumor which is peculiar to southeast politics.

Abagworo Pls come and help here

Not rumours. Please go to the link above for the kangaroo committee established for relocation.

You are right. The Teaching Hospital got new structures built during Okorocha administration.
It's unimaginable to many people that any person could contemplate relocating it to another place.


But it's widely believed that Rochas Okorocha wanted to relocate IMSUTH to Owerri so that Owerri shall not be bothered when Rochas says his Rochas Foundation has fully bought Eastern Palm University in Ogboko, Okorocha's hometown.

Orlu: Sam Okwaraji stadium demobilized in 2012 by this govt is now being re-roofed and repainted.

Government is made up by Executive, Legislature and Judiciary.

Why don't some people in today's govt understand the above?

Buhari's chosen officers need to understand how govt functions in a democracy, not during miitary rule.

How can a common govt appointee ignore the Legislature made up of elected members?

nkwuocha:
Their religion, their problem.

also your problem, so long one Nigeria exists. if we agree and allow north have its sharia country, all these palavar shall be over immediately.

link2ok22:
Pathetic.. This country is a complete joke.

Why? After all there is oyel money to compensate the victims, and to rebuild whatever damage by the fighters.

After this, business as usual.

Owerri:

New roads/layouts to increase the population of the state capital

If one or two of the new roads/layouts were built in Okigwe or Orlu, developers could have also followed. .

In 2016, for his personal business interest, Gov Okorocha set up a committee to see if the Imo state University Teaching Hospital Orlu can be relocated to Owerri.

Rochas Okorocha saying: if not the University Teaching Hospital established in Orlu, previous governments of Imo state denied Orlu development infrastructure.

NgeneUkwenu,



Sure, only a few persons like you could devote a second to a thread like this. Who doesn't know a rented crowd when he/she sees one?

Abagworo:
1st video was shot 2011 before election that brought Okorocha


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WO22sqA8E4

2nd one was shot exactly 5 years later in 2016. Videos are not like photos and not easily manipulated. A view of the 2 Videos taken same time of the year can prove that Orlu metamorphosed greatly under Okorocha.

But same Ihioma Road I showed on post #17 and called it the bright spot in Orlu, it is the same road in your second video.

Road from St Joseph's Catholic Church via Bishop Shanahan College Orlu to Ideato South.

The last two governments before this worked on the road, built gutters on both sides, built a new bridge over one smaller river, but could not do the bigger bridge over Urashi river in Ugbelle, Ideato South lga. The works done erode with time.


Decaying Carrot Junction in Orlu.

Orlu:
Road started by Okorocha govt in 2012 to connect to International Market from Amaigbo road opposite St Josephs Catholic Church, Umuna Junction.

The international market has only one narrow road from Old Owerri road to enter it. Two lorries can hardly pass each other on the road. The market employs more than 8000 people and with daily human traffic of about 120,000.

St Joseph's Catholic Church is submerged below normal level because of constant flood owing to non completion of urban drainage system started by Ikwechegh govt.

The first road behind the Enugu DISCO Transformer station leads to Orlu Vehicle spare parts centre which employs about 200 people.

Orlu
BSC Road which leads to the Orlu Catholic Cathedral. Inhabitants contribute money to build the gutter to save the road. All former state govts repaired the road since it was modernized. A year from now, all Catholic Bishops in Nigeria shall use this road for their Conference in Orlu.

this bridge across Urashi River in Ugbelle, near Ogboko in Ideato South lga connects many communities in Ideato South lga. Vehicles still pass the road. Two former governors before Okorocha worked on the road to modernize the bridge but could not conclude the work.
