Biafrarep: Everyday, Priceless and Market Square are seriously upgrading and expanding. If our open markets don't evolve, they will eventually die a natural death.
Going to Alaba Naze is a nightmare, same applies to Ahia Rochas or Eke Onuwa and it has made many people to be patronizing these malls.
Once Everyday begins their 24 hours operations, others that are strategically located will follow suit and before long, Owerri would become like modern cities that doesn't sleep
Obowo, Orlu, Umuaka, etc in Imo state have government-built markets that suffer same road disadvantages like the markets built by government in Owerri. Do you ever think that those other markets outside Owerri deserve good roads as well? Must every succeding governor of Imo state continue with reconstruction of roads in Owerri, while these other places in Imo state outside Owerri collapse?
InternalAuditor: Ikengawo aka ofodirinwa, instead of you to focus on discussing your failed imo state but you are busy spewing your usual unfounded lies.
Stop comparing Onitsha and your glorified village called OWERRI that's littered with dilapidated roads and filthy environment.
Onitsha is by far better developed and advanced than your local backward OWERRI that no reasonable person dares to relocate to.
Onitsha has more graduate jobs than Owerri can ever have even in the next 100yrs.
The number of banks in Onitsha is thrice bigger than all the banks in the entire Imo state.
Millions of imo indigenes ran to Onitsha for greener pasture, why are they not staying back in the glorified village called Owerri? There's absolutely nothing nothing in Owerri except brothels and commercial sex hawkers.
Owerri and Aba are the two worst towns in Igboland and Southern Nigeria at large, both towns have the worst roads ever in the region and southern Nigeria in general.
Owerri is highly an unliveable jungle, that's why imo indigenes are running to nearby economically viable and liveable cities of Onitsha and Port Harcourt. The population of imo indigenes living in Onitsha are more than the population of imo indigenes living in Owerri. This is a stark reality.
Owerri is a failed town because even imo indigenes would rather go to Onitsha, PH or Enugu to invest than ever investing in OWERRI except it is brothel.
No sane person would want to relocate to Owerri except the person is a commercial sex hawker.
Imo state human capitals are being drained by Onitsha and PH, this is because Owerri is a useless worthless backward shithole town that produces only students that eventually leaves the town on graduation, leaving a ghost town behind in search of greener pastures in Lagos, PH, Onitsha, Warri, etc.
Have you wondered why real investors don't go to Imo state? It is because there's no enabling environment. You are bitter that Owerri cannot match any city in Anambra, even small Nnewi has far bigger economy than Owerri.
What do you have in imo state that can be compared to the ones in Anambra? Are you gonna compare the motorpark airport in imo to the worldclass international airport in Anambra? Are you gonna compare glorified secondary school called IMSU to the top grade COOU-Anambra? Or are you gonna compare the poultry farm called IMSUTH to the world rated COOUTH-Awka? What about the over rated secondary school called FUTO, are you gonna compare it to great UNIZIK?What about general infrastructures, your state doesn't come close at all. I can go on and on. Comparing Anambra to your useless imo state, is like comparing America to Uganda. Envious bitter frustrated fellow,
In bold. But Imo state now has a state university which outclasses Anambra state university when it comes to building infrastructures. Visit KO Mbadiwe University in Ideato to see world class standard university infrastructures.

Charity begins at home.
Ofordirinwa, aka ikengawo, is a native of Awomamma, a few miles from Orlu.
Modern development and urban expansion of Owerri will never go beyond the Okatankwo bridge which separates Owerri from Oru in Orlu senatorial zone.
So long as Orlu urban LGA remains reduced to rural area status by self-serving governors of Imo state since 2011, Oru area, shall continue to remain stagnant. Because urban expansion goes from the urban centres to the rural areas, never vice versa.
It's like Ofordirinwa does not like modern development in his Orlu/Oru area of Imo state, but gets mirred in modern development and urban expansion of Owerri.
Imo state of only Owerri with modern development and rapid urban expansion, is a let down to the better informed people in Imo state.
Racoon: So there can be this kind of serene secured environment for Yusuf Buhari to be turbaned while many poor hapless Kastina indigenes are being kidnapped, maimed or killed by terrorist ? While the survivors are fleeing to Niger Republic for refuge?
Yet the beleaguered masses allowed this nonsense that have no bearing on their existence to happen? Where are the #northisbleeding champions? I raise yansh for the kingmakers in the Daura emirateship, Gov.Masari and their failed son president.
Abacha said any insurgency that lasts more than a month has government hand in it.
Bandits are offshoots of Boko Haram fighting for a Nigeria to be governed with Sharia criminal laws..
In 2001, Muhammadu Buhari told a huge crowd of Muslims in Kaduna, that he wouldn't stop fighting until Islamic sharia criminal justice system is used in all the states of Nigeria.
The first major demand of Tanko Mohammed, the Chief Justice of Nigeria appointed by president Buhari is for Islamic sharia criminal justice system be included in the consultation.
am surely not votin those sick basstards that couldnt even finish their headquaters till today....
let them go and die in south east....
What a dyed in the wood ethnic bigot. If Nigeria has half of its population with persons like you, it shall be at war with itself till it tears apart. Loads of people in APC today were formerly in PDP, small minds like you wouldn't see that there is little or no difference between APC and PDP. ENVY FOR THE IGBO NO KILL YOU OOO.
They will tell us that it was used for renovation of the streets of state capital.
Has Hope Uzodinma not acquired recognition as a governor who maliciously reduced the age old urban centres in his Orlu/Orsu/Orueast federal constituency to rural area status?
Moferere: Yessssooo Indigenous Cannibals of Biafra
See unity beggar with his blackmail propaganda.
Who brought violence into Biafra struggle? It's people in charge of Nigeria's present government whose desperation for cheap cash from crude oil and gas deposits in Biafra made them declare IPOB as terrorist group, then send armed forces to kill Igbo youths in the name of killing IPOB people.
The noblest thing OBJ would ever do in his life would be to work towards the desolution of this monstrous contraption that feed on its own people.
But he go gree?
Save Nigeria Group As if Nigeria wants to be saved.
This Save Nigeria group is not aware of the inequity in Nigeria since Northern military dictators created Nigeria's 36 states political structure where they proliferated 19 states and Abuja in the old Northern region but allowed only 17 states in the two old southern regions of Nigeria.
The political structure conveys massive and undue political and economic advantages to the old northern region. The resources that are shared among the states come from the southern regions. What a fraudulent political structure!! When southerners ask for political restructuring in a democratic method, North asks southerners to come to the National Assembly for political restructuring, knowing full well that the National Assembly is hugely overpopulated with Northern legislators who will never vote for restructuring the political structure created by Northern soldiers.
Rexwalters1: Honestly speaking it seems you have an inferiority complex? You are the person that needs to wake up from your ethnoreligious bigotry and smell the coffee. Nonsense.
Mumurist I guess because we buy suya from Hausa People we trust them? What a useless analogy to use.
In other words, you buy suya from Hausa people but you don't trust them.
What a fool you are buying suya from Hausa people you don't trust!! What if the Hausa suya seller laced the suya with rat poison? You mugu would eat and quench.
Seun360: Other ethnic groups don't trust the Igbos. I myself inclusive.
Other ethnic groups envy the Igbos, not distrust the Igbos. Could people be buying goods from people they distrust? Wake up from ethnoreligious bigotry and smell the coffee.
Seun360: Bro, an Igbo can never rule this country.
Take that to the bank.
OMG. See ethnoreligious bigotry at its zenith. Never believed this could come from a man living in the 21st Century. Tufiakwa!! Why then did you say that you are an advocate for one Nigeria? Igbo is the single largest or 2nd single largest ethnic group in Nigeria. You must then be prepared for continuation of dysfunctional Nigeria.
For mouth. What country have you seen remain one for far too long without justice and equity?
This time, your mentor, BAT, is asking north to uphold zoning of presidency between north and south to enable south produce a successor to president Buhari. But he ignores rotation/zoning in the southern regions because it's the turn of the Igbo to produce a successor for Buhari. Una de sing along with him, but without understanding that north shall because of BAT's stance of disagreement on zoning in the south, the northerners shall as well refuse to uphold zoning in 2023. But if the SW upholds zoning in the southern regions for a presidential candidate from the East, north is obliged by zoning to vote for the candidate from the East. No southern presidential candidate can win the presidential election in Nigeria if north supports a northern candidate. Make una look beyond the nose and support a presidential candidate from the east now, before it's too late.
Seun360: If Obaseki come be very big fool, your papa come be wetin?
The day they sideline BAT from becoming successor to Buhari, you shall join Oduduwa Republic campaigniners, take this to the bank. Na today? Remember NADECO days.
I praying and hoping for a sovereign Biafra, Oduduwa republic
Thereafter, Obaseki can join his Bini Kingdom to the Sokoto Caliphate for a new indivisible nation where injustice and inequity reign supreme as they reign in today's Nigeria.
What else does one expect a state governor in Nigeria to say about imminent division of Nigeria into more manageable countries? Even governors from areas involved with seccessionist moves would say what Obaseki said, after all, governors and politicians eat fat from the dysfunctions of dysfunctional one Nigeria at the detriment of the suffering Nigerians.
No let one indivisible one Nigeria without justice kee you there.
izumanone: A Northern socio-political group, the Arewa Integrity Forum (AIF) has described as an afterthought, the withdrawal of a statement on insecurity in the Southeast credited to a former Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in Abia state, Umeh Kalu, SAN.
Kalu had fingered the Nigerian army of being behind the killings in the region, accusing the military of planting Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) across the Southeast and blaming members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and the group’s armed militia, the Eastern Security Network (ESN), for it. Specifically, the former Attorney-General had accused the Military of recently masterminding the planting of IEDs in Imo state and then framing IPOB members and ESN just to nail and paint IPOB Leader, Maazi Nnamdi Kanu black. He had subsequently denied the statement following the negative comments that greeted it in the media.
But reacting to the development in a statement on Tuesday, AIF Coordinator, Suleiman Musa Mohammed lambasted Umeh Kalu, describing him as a coward, while calling on the Department of State Services, DSS, and other security agencies to invite the former Commissioner for questioning over his comments on security.
He said: “We have seen a recent statement credited to a former Attorney-General in Abia state, Umeh Kalu, concerning insecurity in the Southeast. We at AIF believe that Kalu knows more than we all already know as Nigerians about the security situation in the country and call on security agencies to investigate the former Commissioner for Justice.
“We are greatly disturbed by the reckless utterances of Kalu, a man with such a ranking position of SAN, and consider his sudden u-turn as an afterthought. Our forum see Kalu as an enemy of the state who is out to truncate the peace already being enjoyed by people of the Southeast. The Military must never allow this to happen. “We, therefore, call on the Department of State Services (DSS), Army, Police not to allow this slide but to immediately invite Umeh Kalu for questioning and to shed more light on his recent comments bothering on security in the Southeast. This is our position at AIF,” Mohammed added.
The group called on Nigerians to join hands with the Military in defending the nation, warning that any further aspersions on the Army by any person, no matter how highly placed including Umeh Kalu, would be resisted by the AIF.
“In spite of what is happening across the country, our belief and hope is that Nigeria will pull through and even become stronger and more prosperous. That is why we enjoin all to continue to pray for the country and join the military in its efforts to fight insecurity in the country.
“The country is passing through a phase that will soon be over and propel us into a future that we all will be proud of as Nigerians. This is our fervent hope and prayers and we must therefore shun divisive statements and actions as Nigerians,” the statement added.
IbileIfe: Don't mind the senseless state governors. Majority of the new universities are business centres.
We don't need new universities, but new campuses of the existing universities in every local government to make them within the reach of those who want higher education.
Another sound mind.
The faculties of the proposed new universities can still be part of the existing universities in Ebonyi state but the new faculties can be scattered all over the local government areas of the state. This saves money from hiring new VCs and Deans of faculties and Registrars, and ........etc for the new universities.
You were telling us bogey tales of China and Japan with more industries than universities. As if China and Japan are in another planet only you have gone to.
Industries in Japan and China were not created by their governments. Entrepreneurs created the industries.
If you had asked that your gov Umahi to create good environments for Entrepreneurs in Ebonyi state, instead of your desire for the governor to put a cap to the number of people that can receive university education in Ebonyi state...
Ebonyi people need to be transformed from the "ndi ogu ukwu" we knew them for, to "ndi mechanized farming." They need more universities to get to the stage of "ndi mechanized farming."
Today, north says it's bleeding from bandits who are unarguably offshoots of Boko Haram.
By the time the evil in keeping women below par with men begins to manifest in the north, the south of Nigeria must have gone eon years of human development ahead of the north; that time, the north shall be beginning the south for help to engender equality for all genders in the north.
He hadn't the opportunity to tour and shake hands with world lewders when he was military HoS. Military dictators were usually confined to their countries and disregarded by leaders of the free world then.
So, since he was elected president of Nigeria, he has been enjoying the shows he missed earlier - junketing around the world and shaking hands with world leaders.
Muhammadu Buhari is about the luckiest man created by God. He has lived on taxes of the public and never suffered hardship right from youth except his tales of walking 17 miles fighting Biafrans.
Of course, they must have heard Muhammadu Buhari in Kaduna 2001 vow before a large crowd of Muslims that he would not stop fighting until Islamic Sharia Criminal justice system is used all over Nigeria.
Boko Haram later emerged and says that it's fighting for a country to be governed with Islamic sharia Criminal justice system.
One of the earliest demands of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Tanko Mohammed, appointed by president Buhari is that the National Assembly should insert Sharia Criminal justice system into the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria.
The mainly Muslim military dictators from Northern Nigeria who supervised the drafting of the 1999 Constitution carefully avoided Islamic Sharia Criminal Justice system in the Constitution. They must have known the chaos any practice of Islamic Sharia Criminal justice system could provoke in Nigeria of multi religious faiths.
Make road users to pay road tax, instead of creating toll gates of corruption.
In countries that produce vehicles and provide good roads, it's unimaginable to see a vehicle on the public space without pre-paid road tax. Road tax is undoubtedly going to yield more revenues to government than toll gates of corruption.
ignis: What is nice about creating 2 more universities in a state? Can't we create industries that will create job for millions of jobless youths and numerous graduates that graduate from universities and polytechnic on daily basis ?
In China, Dubai and other serious countries, they have more industries than universities, but in Nigeria reverse is the case.
Industries are created by graduates who received good and quality education from tertiary academic institutions.
Government does not create industries, but provides good environment for people, including you, to create industries.
OmoEpe: 3 geopolitical zones had 3 leaders representing them in the preparation for independence. Azikwe,Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello
2 of them wanted secession clause included so that any region desirous of exiting the union in future will be free to. Only Azikwe an Igbo man opposed it by declaring that Nigeria is indivisible. Had he not been driven by greed and desire for dominance, the civil war wouldn't have happened as Ojukwu and Biafranistans would have gone peacefully and legally but the greed and expansionist tendencies of the SE always rob them of common sense
Yes the negotiators of independence weren't stupid it was your forefather Azikwe that rejected wisdom in the negotiations and had an alliy in the British
Nigeria had regional Govt at the beginning but the moment an Igbo man got there by coup he turned it into a unitary state because he thought he will be there for life but unfortunately after 6months fulani soldiers overthrew him and Nigeria has remained that way since then
The 2 unfortunate times we had Igbo leaders was the 2 times we laid foundation for today's suffering
What Biafranistan cannot destroy for greed and dominance doesn't exist
So you still live in the past when Azikiwe purportedly said that Nigeria was indivisible?
Kwontinue to live in the past while the realities of dysfunctional one Nigeria stare us in the face and we live in the present.
But for how many more years will Nigeria’s armed forces continue to fight, bomb and kill Nigerians?
What sort of country is this?
Northern politicians and religious leaders adopted sharia criminal laws that were outlawed in the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria Boko Haram quickly emerged after and says that it’s fighting for a Nigeria to be governed with Islamic Sharia criminal laws.
Why can’t rest of the politicians outside the sharia states understand that giving the sharia states the sort of Islamic Republic they seek is going to stop Boko Haram and its offshoot - the bandits?
If Nigeria is inhabited by white peoples, the political class outside the sharia states would have met and tell the sharia states to have their deserved country to be governed with Islamic Sharia criminal laws.
Xscape1993: The wickedness of men and the evil party.
Political party of conspirators. Their die-hard supporters are either sympathizers for Nigeria to be governed with Islamic Sharia criminal laws, or plain parasites.
Party which brought unprecedented insecurity to Nigeria.
