Admire that Toronto beautiful road junction - run by traffic lights.


Junctions less traveled than that for Imo state capital, Owerri people will besiege governor to build flyover there. For them, flyover is sign of huge city. Other towns in the state barely have motorable roads.

Rail revival when there is no rail lines on the most traveled route Lagos-Benin-Onitsha-Portharcourt in Nigeria?

In rail business, country first builds rail lines on the most traveled routes to make profit to invest on lesser traveled routes.


But Nigeria’s government is still fighting civil war it declared ended in 1970.

So the UK’s PM accepts many ethnic groups in the UK deciding what goes on in their regions, but the UK as colonial master watches Nigeria’s citizens dehumanized through Abuja’s over-centralized governance system controlled by Fulani? Fulani controls all of Nigeria through the skewed and lopsided 36 states & Abuja political structure created by Fulani-loyal military dictators.

Are you minding him? He's just wasting his time nobody is interested in his propaganda any longer.

If you ever had a dad, he would tell you that if you have 3 kids, but leave all your 6 instruments that generate prosperity to only one kid, you have sowed a seed of discontent in your family.

Continue to tell your story of School of Nursing in Amaigbo-Orlu and moribund IMSUTH in Orlu or market and stadium in Orlu - to dance to the gallery of profiteers from prostitution who wouldn’t allow any government institutions of development in Imo state outside Owerri. They have set Imo state on the boilers.

FinianIb:
I remember one time, I was talking to a Nigerian born American complaining about how bad the economy is and so on, he just smiled and said this "you don't know how bad Nigeria is till you leave it" then he said " if you say Nigerian economy is shambolic, you are praising it"

There is no Economic model in Nigeria.

For those in Nigeria’s government, how much did International Oil Companies pay in today, and how much was realized from the seaports to share, is the only model.

Jungle Economy in Nigeria.

Yuceeluv:
But that's the truth.

I can't wait to jappa too.

If you move out, the invaders move in and occupy your ancestral land in the south.

If you return to Nigeria on holidays, the invaders in power place you on 6 months quarantine in Nigeria - no exit from Nigeria for 6 months. You get frustrated.

With flimsy excuses for Covid-19, a 6 months no exit from Nigeria was recently imposed on hundred or more Nigerians who returned to Nigeria for Christmas. What a way to frustrate those returnees.

walkingshadow911:
what is the name of the terrorist group those people u mentioned belongs to so the indomie generation can do their research. i know of ipob

Bolded:

IPOB can be a terrorist group only in a country led by Buhari cabal.

Leaders of terrorist groups don’t walk the streets of Tel Aviv, Washington DC, London without getting arrested.

“You see, terrorism is not only in Nigeria” —
This is the message Buhari cabal wants to send to Nigerians here.

BastardWike:
I really don't get your point. Is the video I posted not Kisumu city centre? Is Owerri city centre or any of our cities that beautiful with the good roads, sidewalks, trees, covered gutters and all? This is supposed to be a city from a poor third world African country yet all you do is go look for a slum in its suburbs to prove what exactly?

The truth is that Bank road, Wetherel and other parts of Owerri can be made to be even more beautiful than that Kenyan city if our governors are up and doing. Instead all we have here are bad roads, open gutters, no sidewalks, no trees or flowers or even road markings, everything is poor and mediocre! A government will manage to build a little one another will come in demolish it and the circle continues.

Look at this thread and all you see are just hotels being built by individuals and nothing more, no significant government intervention aside demolitions.

The same person - BastardWike - replying to him/herself - OruExpress.

Only power?

Terrorists must leave the north - that’s the most important prophecy we need.


Terrorism in north badly affects all in Nigeria.

That power must leave north anytime soon is a fact.

OruExpress:
well clamouring isn't spamming an imo state thread on Nairaland. All of our governors have been from our zone since inception, so its not a political issue. Owerri found a niche for its self in providing entertainment for the oversized diaspora and good working environments (most ppl use hotels to work because of the wifi silence and ac) for ppl all over the state.


99.9% of what is in a city, any city, is privately built and owned. So ISG won't make Orlu equal to Owerri

In bold:
Listen to yourself once again.

Truth is: the 3 government universities and 3 government polytechnics in Owerri dragged 99.9% of private properties to Owerri.

Let IMSG open Eastern Palm university as advised by Ihedioha government committee, or let IMSG establish a 2nd state multi discipline university in Orlu;
before 5 years, Orlu shall be approaching the development level of Owerri. Edo state has 2nd state university from the university built by Adams Oshiomwole.

AKswift:
Nice post, Ore. This is what real urban planing should be at the minimum, yet we keep seeing dirty and unplanned streets and cities in Nigeria. I saw a thread about Orlu the other day and was disappointed on how filthy the roads were. Local and State governments need to rise up to the occasion of planning their cities...this is the 21st century, pls!

Bolded:
Bros, but you said it was ranting as we were highlighting the abandoned Orlu in Imo state where Owerri politicians seized all six government subsidized tertiary education institutions in Imo state but left only a school for the mentally and physically handicapped in Orlu, nothing brings government attention to Orlu.

Orlu-Ihialla Road is the most economically important road to Orlu.

A government of good will can repair it and ask for refund from the federal government.

If you dance to govt’s renewal of Owerri urban roads and drainage every four years, but leave Orlu-Ihiala road rotten all these years, it is like dancing to sabotage of the economy of Orlu, and by extension, Imo state.

Region of a country setting up militia forces to protect itself against invaders from other regions in the same country shows that the country has FAILED.

Such security arrangements do not exist in other countries.

Amotekun and ESN show that Nigeria has FAILED.

Sammy07:

Any criminal elements in SW should be flushed out. Irrespective of tribe.

God bless Oyo State
God bless YorubaLand

The more reason why Oduduwa Republic must be declared fast, no more waiting.

Ten years from now, crude oil shall play insignificant role as European countries shall stop manufacturing of vehicles driven with petrol and diesel.

Wow. PH is like Dubai; PH has street lights on paved road. Wow. smh.

OruExpress:
I think there's a lot of exaggeration about Orlu

Exaggeration?

Even the Eastern Palm university built by Okorocha govt in Ideato near Orlu, and which a government committee asked to be used for IMSU, hoteliers, brothel owners and native rent seekers in Owerri lobby for Eastern Palm university to rot away.

In 1km space, you have 2 government subsidized tertiary education institutions - IMSU and AIFCE- in Owerri. There are other 4 around.

In Orlu, only a School for the Mentally And Physically Handicapped has been allowed all the decades.
Orlu and Owerri started Imo state as urban areas.
Nothing to attract development and government attention to Orlu.

Yet some people defend the exaggeration with tertiary education institutions of government in Owerri.

Anyone defending the exaggeration in Owerri is fit to be named Satan.

912:
Money from South South you mean.

Stop living in the civil war era simply because you want to tie the east to the region generating money

O yea.

Same way Lagos has been removed from the SW region and Lagos now no man’s land.

360degreess:
That's wonderful..
But OP some people can die of heart attack


because of this news.So be careful..

See rail revolution on electric powered trains.

The people you taunt are most likely to have electric powered trains before you.

360degreess:
That's wonderful..
But OP some people can die of heart attack because of this news.So be careful..

Sickness is when you derive oil money from one area to build the rail lines, but avoid the rail lines in areas you derive the oil money from.

Your rail revolution is not likely to be fruitful at the long run.
How did NITEL die?

But God didn’t name them as Men of God.

rtdCivilservant:
I was shocked when the mad man (Amah70) mentioned 'uncivil', a mad man talking about civility? There is nothing one will not see, a useless God forsaken he goat talking ill of another man's land had the guts to open his stinking mouth to talk about another not being civil? Amah70, I am now convinced u are a psychiatric patient.

Ha ha ha.


Profiteers like you from human flesh are deploying every blackmail and tricks to make govt continue with concentration of young students in Owerri through restricting all government subsidized tertiary education institutions in Imo state to Owerri.
Na today? Even in 2012 when Rochas Okorocha started to build a university for IMSU in Ideato, your sort nearly petitioned the gods.

You can run amok shouting mad man upandan following me, one certainty is that Owerri is unique in Nigeria.

That uniqueness which brings it the name : prostitution capital of Nigeria, has to be rejigged.

inoki247:
Okay mak dem waka to Ghana or Seme nd continue dere traveling from there...

All punitive measures against some travelers.

B2mario:
Totally wrong. Orlu hotel is located at Enugu road

Remember that you are responding to an idiot.

I have advised you to stop replying to my comments, because apart from the fact that you are too uncivil from beginning without provocation, you don’t understand what you write about most of the time.


Orlu Hotels is on Asika Ilobi on a junction with Enugu road, not on Enugu road.

Abagworo:
It then means Okorocha dualized both Asika Ilobi and Enugu roads in 2012 making your earlier claims wrong. There is also another major road Okorocha dualised running from that roundabout opposite local government headquarters

Are you taking about the road Okorocha government cleared from that roundabout to Carrot Junction, but never asphalted but used to block entrance to the dilapidated Orlu fire service station?

Abagworo:
No it is not Enugu road. This one is Enugu road where Orlu Hotels is located. That road showed as Umuezeala on google

Orlu Hotels is located on Asika Ilobi Avenue junction with Enugu road.

Abagworo:
No it is not Enugu road. This one is Enugu road where Orlu Hotels is located. That road showed as Umuezeala on google

Union Bank Orlu and Christ Embassy Pentecostal church Orlu are on the beginning of Enugu road Orlu, never in Umuezella street.

Bank Road is what it was called years back.

RtdCivilservant, IkengaAwo, OruExpress, BastardWike - if your Awomamma has 60% people like you, Awo is mostly likely to go into extinction as you futilely wait for Owerri to expand beyond Urashi river to Awomamma. But urban development and expansion from Orlu can easily reach through Okwudor to Awomamma in a space of five years if IMSG does what Orlu merits.

Cretin or consumed by your Hotel and Brothel business in Owerri?

Abagworo:
There's another road I stopped to withdraw money at ATM and it's also a dual carriageway built by Okorocha in Orlu town. What's the name of this road? Christ Embassy is also along the road

That’s Enugu road toward Ideato in Orlu - about 300 meters. You still count that one?

When it comes to urban roads in Imo state:

problem is that since Abia was carved out from old Imo state, and all government institutions of development forced into Owerri, a falsehood was forged in Owerri that state governors must concentrate on improving the state capital but leave other parts of the state for future governors.

Too many people, including governors, in Imo state bought into this falsehood.
But a state governor is bound by law to develop all parts of his state, not favor any part more than the other.

Abagworo:
The 2 roads are different. Okorocha completed this one in 2013 and it leads from Banana junction to Nkwerre whereas the one I posted earlier was left uncompleted till 2019 and leads to Umuowa.

Tijani Street from Nkwoitor roundabout to Umuowa, then Ihioma/part of Amaigbo road, Enugu road, and Owus Avenue - these four roads are the roads expanded by Okorocha in Orlu, and they are the roads you show every time.
It’s like you have now included upper section of Ebenator road done by Amadi Ikwechegh contract. But the lower section by St Joseph Church is shiiit.

Move down onwards from St Joseph Church towards Holy Trinity Cathedral, Bishop Shanahan and Girls Secondary School, you shall see dozens of dilapidated urban roads, inhabited full by people, a lot of them abandoned by Ikwechegh contractor.

Abagworo:
This is the road the dude has been talking about. It really is not good but it does not mean all the roads in Orlu are not good. I like working with facts and because I was in Imo I did thorough tour of the State to get 1st hand info.

Abagworo, you have shown this same road here at various levels since 7 years after expansion by Okorocha government.

But move out of this road into the dozens of the inner urban roads of Orlu, you see failure of IMSG here, you cry foul compared to rate of urban road repairs and construction in the state capital.
