At the rate Atiku is keeping up relevance through Social media for his 2023 ambition; I'm sure some people will soon advice their lord to ditch those Northern trips and begin twitter banters with Seyi to improve his popularity for the 2023 presidential election.

But....if them like; they should comment from now till next year. It will be easier for Arsenal to win a treble than for them to smell power in Aso rock.

Seyi wetin?
But the Seyi’s have inadvertently ruled out zoning for the 2023 presidential election when the Seyis ruled out zoning/rotation for the southern regions, because an Igbo is supposed to succeed PMB.

Zoning is the only thing which can make a Seyi or Okoro or Dokubor win presidential election in Nigeria.

After you people “ended” Nigeria’s Football league by ineptitude and corruption, you now turn to European football leagues.


Europeans will see you addicted to their soccer leagues as deserving treatment at Aro Mental hospital.

Come to think of this; Our former VP for that matter who is believed to seek to preside over us again.

Intrepid01:
Continue to lie to yourself by twisting narratives. You even claimed Alex Ekwueme formed PDP. I'm not surprised you know, Igbos are known widely to be deluded. Power is never given to anyone in the world, it is calculatively taken. if you are grown and wise enough you'll know that 1998 PDP political convention was more like a continuation of 1993 election, of which the acclaimed winner was denied his mandate. I repeat again, there is no agreement, whether in writing or verbal, between the southern regions for rotational presidency. You thought Yorubas were stupid when they supported Buhari in 2015? You see politics is about alignment, it is about give and take, it is about scratch your back and I'll scratch yours too. But I know Igbos don't know that, they only know politics of hate, tribalism and threat. And no one aligns with an enbittered set of people. So after Yorubas worked to install Buhari for the sole purpose of having their support in 2023, they will now hand it over to the Igbos shey? Just ask yourself if that makes any sense. I ask you again, Are the igbos scared to contest against the Yorubas? Igbos should fight to have PDP presidential ticket, after all Igbos have slaved for PDP for the past 20years, getting the ticket should not be too difficult. Yorubas too will fight to have APC presidential ticket. Then the 2 can now slug it out at the general polls and we'll see who will win. You know already that the Northern cabal will prefer a Yoruba presidency to an Igbo presidency. Nobody trusts embittered people.

So Yoruba scratched Fulani back in 2015, therefore Fulani shall scratch Yoruba back in 2023 to make a Yoruba succeed PMB? No more zoning or rotation.

No more need to consider political correctness?

No more need to put the interest of unity ahead of your Area boy calculation?

All that matters is because Tinubu was party to APC formation, therefore it’s Yoruba turn to succeed PMB?

You are yet to tell why two Yorubas - Obasanjo and Falae - were fielded to fly the flags of the two largest political parties.

See why Sanusi Lamido Sanusi called you people “Area Boys Politicians.” Your machinations are like an Area Boy’s - very hollow, can’t consider untoward results.

If you have heard of NADECO? You are inadvertently courting NADECO II.

Intrepid01:
Lol...I know you are a young chap who needs education in politics. As I have done to your elders in the time past, I would educate you too.... Obasanjo and Falae contested against Igbos, Hausa and Fulanis in 1999 and won their party's ticket to become the flagbearer. (A simple google search on this would clear your doubts).... I am repeating it again, stop spreading cheap lies, there is no where, whether in writing or in principle where regions within the Southern Nigeria sat down and discussed zoning. NO WHERE!!!! ......Stop spreading cheap lies to suit your narrative. Igbos should be brave enough to contest against Yorubas, let us see who would win.

And to the boldened statement, only Igbos who have no political alliance across the Country believe in such thinking. Northerners and Yorubas who have built bridges know that even the smallest region can win a presidential ticket, all it takes is a wide political alliance, I know an igbo person can't understand that.

Stop lying to yourself.


Most of Yoruba were in a Yoruba-based political party - AD - when Obasanjo and Falae were filled in for PDP and ANPP presidential tickets.
Retired Northern military generals released Obasanjo from prison and pushed him to oust other contestants from other parts of Nigeria.

In Nigeria, power is given, if not, how could OBJ from prison with only N10,000 in his bank account beat Alex Ekwueme who formed the party? Power is given in Nigeria because of the political structure.


PDP was formed by late Alex Ekwueme with his group of 33.

The only political alliance built by a section of Yoruba - mostly Yoruba MURIC - with the north is APC. Are you happy over the level APC led Nigeria?
You people need to be honest in your unbridled power drunk drive to cancel zoning because it’s turn of the Igbo to be in Aso Rock. Your power drunk posture may backfire on you.

FACE:
You are clearly paranoid and all your points are dustbin worthy. Owerri people, Owerri people; who are these Owerri people forcing everybody to locate everything in Owerri?

Your useless points can be thrashed by half a moniker, let alone multiple monikers. I know you are a troll, who spent the whole of Christmas on Nairaland typing rubbish so this is my last response to you.

I have been here since 2007 and have only managed less than 800 posts, so that should indicate to you the amount of time I have, let alone dedicating my time responding to trolls.

Sharraaaap.

Who are you trying to convince that you are not same and same person with different monikers?


You are crazy with the idea of eating what is meant for you and others, and expect them to keep quiet.

Intrepid01:
Igbos have come again with lies, where and when did the South agree to zoning. The only existing zoning is intra-party. Stop peddling lies to suit your case. Presidency is coming to the South; Igbos, Yorubas, Niger-Delta and other southerners can all contest for it. stop spreading cheap blackmail!!!!

Or are you scared Yorubas' would get it ahead of Igbos?

Stop being shophistiwretched in mindset.
If it was by open competition, Obasanjo or Falae would not have flown the presidential tickets of the two largest political parties in 1999.


If it’s by open competition in any of the political parties, neither Igbo, Yoruba, SS nor any other southerners can win the tickets of any of the largest political parties, talk less, win presidential election.


Facts 1) it’s the turn of the IGBO to succeed PMB.
Refer to the political structure of Nigeria for education on this.
2) in Nigeria, power is hardly contested for, because the god fathers first choose who to be president, then bring the person in one political party to be ratified by the electorate.

loopman:
Lol. Don’t worry, they will sort themselves out in SW. You should worry that your own people that have been completely relegated to 3rd class and on onlookers in the scheme of things

There shall be no Alex Ekwueme again to succeed in convincing north to relinquish power this time in order to have another situation like two Yorubas - Obasanjo and Falae - to fly the presidential flags of the two largest political parties because of consideration of zoning. Yoruba has unknowingly canceled zoning for the 2023 presidential election, through canceling zoning in the south.


You say Igbo is relegated to 3rd class citizen.

You will get to understand that Animal Farm burst into shambles afterwards. Cretin.

Yoruba ask for zoning presidency to the south but Yoruba cancels zoning in the southern regions, because it’s turn of the Igbo in the SE region to succeed PMB.

In other words, Yoruba is canceling zoning for the 2023 presidential election in Nigeria.

I see NADECO II loading in Lagos.... when north retains the presidency due to cancellation of zoning by the Yoruba.

Patriarchy001:
Tunde Bakare recently took to his pulpit to give examples of graduates who finished from university but found something doing with their hands - he particularly laid emphasis on the woman who sewed his agbada, bragging on how she graduated from university few years ago but decided to start sewing clothes instead of looking for a job.

He also gave examples of other graduates who sew agbadas for a living of whom he patronizes their business.

In his words:
"The Future does not belong to Job seekers"
"Government cannot keep on employing people, that's not their job"

Do you agree?

Is this how you are going to become president of Nigeria? Abusive and insulting?


For a start, you people call for use of zoning to make south produce successor to PMB.
But you people refuse zoning in the south because it’s Igbo’s turn.
In other words, you people have canceled zoning in Nigeria.

Let’s watch out for 2023.

hedonister:
While i agree that development should be spread, i'm amiss to why people think this is an Imo only problem. We all know how in Nigeria, almost everything tends to go to the state capital and Imo is no exception. Owerri s attracting all these because it's the capital of the state. As it stands orlu and Okigwe cannot compete with Owerri the way you guys want. Btw,if we're talking of spreading development, then we can't also limit it to Owerri, Orlu and Okigwe. We have Ohaji-Egbema which happens to be the largest local government in Imo state with nothing much to show for it. I think the area should also be considered when moving institutions out of Owerri.

The concept of “almost everything going to the state capital” is grossly abused in Imo state.

That concept is however false. In countries like the USA where Nigeria borrowed delineation of federating units from, there is no special attention paid to state capitals. In fact, many of the US state capitals are less developed than other cities in the same state.

Nigeria’s military dictators who created states also created senatorial districts for decentralization of development projects. It’s only in a few states, unarguably led by Imo, where crooks created the concept of everything to the state capital.

FACE:
Good points.

The amount of venom coming from him is in no way geared towards pursuing government presence in Orlu.

THE HATE-MONGERS OF IMO STATE lobbied for, or watched all government institutions that induce development, including futo, Imsu, aifce, polynekede, fercolat, to be in one Owerri area, still fight against having government presence anywhere else in Imo state outside Owerri.


AICE campus in Orlu was closed down after the hate mongers lobbied a new military governor to close the campus.

Imo state has no university teaching hospital in Orlu because of the sabotage of the hate mongers.
Construction of Orlu urban roads and drainage system contract was sabotaged by the hate mongers of Imo state - the job was not completed till today.

Probably replying the same person of many many monikers.

Exmilitant:
So this irritating lengthy write up was directed to us gentlemen critising the lapses and failures of this govt instead of Boko haram, herdsmen, bandits, kidnappers and their sponsors who by all evidence are the real enemies?.... Femi, shame go catch you las las.

He has Igbo in his mind as the enemy.

More Igbos than Yorubas criticize PMB.
Las Las, PMB shall hand over power to the Tinubu group- that’s the coded thing in his message.
But he does not know that he is preparing for NADECO II.
He is always drunk in power.

An ethnic bigot has spoken.

Unarguably, he is focused on the 2023 presidential election for his tribesman to succeed PMB Las Las.

They use zoning to ask for presidency for the south. But they cancel zoning for the presidency in the southern regions. In other words, they cancel zoning for the presidency in 2023.

BastardWike:
Primitive man. Nobody reads your rubbish, I personally don't, so stop wasting your time and energy.

A primitive man has more honor than a piimp in the comity of civilized people.
You are ready to quench defending your brothel and hotel business in Owerri.



Industrialists and other business people, as well as vacation tourists mostly lodge in hotels.
Is there any industry or business of repute in Owerri?
Is there any Disney Island in Owerri?
Is there any curative stream in Owerri?

Why would anyone choose Owerri for tourism destination? Answer.
Even a child in the kindergarten can tell you that your hotels and brothels in Owerri are mostly for prostituting the hundreds of thousands of of young students clustered in Owerri.

I can’t stop reading you from your numerous monikers here.

B2mario:
Guy, the grammar is correct. What do you know? In some cases you don't observe the rule of Concord which states that plural verbs must go with plural noun.

And stop bringing Orlu in this your picture of madness. You are not from Orlu, you are an imposter. Your opinion here does not represent the option of the vast majority of Orlu people. Orlu zone has gotten it's fair share of imo state development and properties. Imo state schools of nursing are located in Amaigbo and Okporo, the immigration training school is located in Umuowa, Imo state University teaching hospital is located in Umuna/Owerri-ebeiri, Imo international market is located at Umuna. And there other new University facilities located in Orlu zone which were closed down by Ihedioha. How many higher institutions are located in Owerri compared to the ones in portharcourt?. Almost all the higher institutions in Rivers State are located within the greater portharcourt metropolis.

Stop this your childish nonsense, because it is capable of attracting hatred to free-minded Orlu people from the other indigenes of Imo state who may feel that Orlu people are envious of Owerri development and progress. Every Orlu son and daughter sees Owerri as his second home, at least 48 - 53% of properties in Owerri are still owned by people from the same Orlu zone.

Lol.
Talk here is about concentrating all government tertiary education institutions in Imo in one area - Owerri, but you rambled about Orlu having international market, school of nursing and half of properties in Owerri being owned by people from Orlu zone.

And you see yourself as normal?

That aside.

1) Imo state university teaching hospital Orlu is not a university. When it functioned, about 400 medical students from Owerri main campus were coming to the teaching hospital for practical.

2) if 48-53% of properties in Owerri are owned by people from Orlu zone, less than 0.001% of properties in Orlu are owned by people from Owerri zone.
Dont you already see that as abnormal?

Owerri is distinct from Orlu - only relationship between both is they share Imo state together.

Owerri people know that Owerri is distinct from Orlu, that’s why Owerri people lobbied and watched all six tertiary education institutions of government in Imo State located in Owerri - no consideration for Orlu.

Because Owerri holds nearly all modern development institutions and amenities of government in Imo state, people from Orlu zone are constrained to abandon their hometowns to buy property and settle in Owerri.

Cost of landed properties in Owerri is hundred times the cost of landed properties in Orlu area.

People from Orlu are subjected to the double jeopardy of life in building and maintaining two living houses - one in Owerri where modern development institutions and amenities are in tripes or quadruple, then build another native house in Orlu zone where modern development institutions and amenities of government are quasi disallowed.

Why did former governor Ihedioha cancel all the new universities established in Orlu zone by Okorocha, but Ihedioha instructed that Imsu be expanded in Owerri in defiance of his government committee recommendations to use Eastern Palm university in Ideato for Imsu. Because Owerri people see Orlu as distinct from Owerri.

At the root of all these jeopardy for people in Orlu zone is the absurd location of government institutions that induce modern development only in Owerri area in Imo state.


Moderate the imbalance through locating a multi faculty government university in Orlu zone, modernize the towns in Orlu zone to make them attractive even for people of Owerri zone to settle, before we start to build skyscrapers in Owerri but make Orlu and Okigwe go extinct.

BastardWike:
Is Lekki, Ikorodu, Iyana Ipaja and the rest not part of Lagos now? Were those areas part of Lagos in say 1970?

Learners also read here. Your inability to use plural nouns and verbs correctly in nearly all your posts is becoming nauseating.
Stop.

Dedetwo:
Do you mean Orlu zone or Orlu LGA? And does your silly 870,000 represent Owerri municipality or Owerri LGAs or Owerri zone? It is very silly to claim Orlu, which has not even gain the status of municipality, has a population of 480,000. With strategic value in mind, Oguta should be favored over Orlu.

You ought to have observed that I have been ignoring you all the time - of recent.

Who is interested in your lamest excuses for Owerri was provincial capital of this or that, and Orlu is a backwaters thing - excuses from a dumbo.

“Patriotism is supporting your country all the time and your government when it deserves it.” ― Mark Twain.

“A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.” - Edward Abbey.

Americans, from the voters on the street to the Supreme Court, have just defended their country against government.

But such feat by Americans is not possible in Nigeria due to ethnoreligious bigotry.

Today, bigotry has pulled some sections of the north and west of Nigeria together about dumping zoning of the presidency.

Some people in the SW clamour for zoning the presidency to the south. But in that south, these set of Yoruba negate zoning, because it’s turn of the SE to benefit from zoning to succeed PMB.

Clamour for zoning but denying zoning at the same time.

Bastardwike.

Your moniker of Bastardwike referring to the governor of Rivers state shows a lot about your mental health.

I campaign for redistribution of government development resources in Imo state to all parts of Imo state.

You campaign for limiting government development resources to only Owerri area of Imo state - another sign of your mental health problems.
Industries and government tertiary education institutions are the foundation for modern development anywhere found in the world.

In Igbo parlance, a mad person resorts quickly to call an adversary “mad.”

BastardWike:
The 12 higher institutions I listed in Enugu are within Enugu metropolis and its suburbs, that's why I didn't mention UNN.

You lied that Enugu is far more populous than Owerri, now I have given you the current population figures by a reputable organization only for you to shamelessly jump to another irrational logic.

You pull 300,000 figure from your anus and claim that's the student population in Owerri. If Owerri has 300,000 student population with only 4 higher institutions then Enugu should have about 900,000 student population.

You really discuss like someone who is not educated and I'm beginning to question your mental health.

Your mental problems are already seen by a discerning public given all the efforts you have put here to defend concentration of all government tertiary education institutions in Imo state in one small Owerri space, while nothing is left in the vast lands in rest of Imo state.

Someone who profits from prostituting young people is mentally sick as well.

BastardWike:
Cheap lies meant to decieve the unsuspecting public.

Enugu has 12 higher institutions while Owerri has just 4 yet you keep decieving yourself that Enugu won't have far larger number of student population.

Meanwhile, below is the metropolitan population figures for Owerri and Enugu.




I'm waiting for you to spew another rubbish.

Owerri with 870,000 population but about 300,000 of the population are students!!!!!!!

You don’t see that as abnormal clustering of students with all 6 tertiary education institutions in Imo state in Owerri;

whereas, Orlu with 480,000 population has no tertiary education institution.

You must be out of your senses or driven by profiteering in Owerri to condone the abnormal clustering of tertiary education institutions in Owerri in Imo state, at the exclusion of other parts of Imo state.

Enugu state you cite example with does not concentrate all it’s government tertiary education institutions in Enugu alone. Too many of the government tertiary education institutions in Enugu state are outside Enugu.

BastardWike:
Another trash from an attention seeker. We will continue to do this because I'm ready for you, at least it will help to keep this thread on the front burner

You dismiss as trash the wasting of IMSG and World Bank’s millions of Naira through closing the Aice campus in Orlu at the instigation of Owerri;
all because you are a profiteer from the love-vendor and prostitution of young students clustering in Owerri.

In Owerri, IMSG has built other markets than the International market built in Orlu through long term owner/occupier funding.
Listen, before long, concerned Imo citizens are preparing to launch #STOPTHEABUSE of youngsters in Owerri campaign.

Profiteers like you can’t continue to feign ignorance of the fact that clustering young people in a little Owerri space gives rise to having them lured into prostitution.

BastardWike:
The fact still remains that Owerri does not have half the number of higher institutions Enugu has which rubbishes the argument that higher institutions are responsible for proliferation of hotels and prostitution. Because if we are to go by that argument, the Enugu should be the base.

It’s not true that Enugu has more students population than Owerri. Loads of the government tertiary education institutions that normally contain high students population are outside the city of Enugu.

Above all, the city of Enugu is about twice in size, if not more, than Owerri.

Aifce and Imsu alone with their huge students population are about 1.5km distance from each other. Imagine the effect on Owerri.

BastardWike:
Imo Poly is actually in Orlu senatorial zone although not far from Owerri.

Owerri profits 99% economically from location of Imopoly in Umuagwo - about 2 communities from Owerri; though Umuagwo is in Orlu senatorial zone.
Most Staff and even large numbers of students in Imopoly live in Owerri.

It did not start of recent: clustering and using underage and early adult students by natives and hotels owners in Owerri to make money from rent and prostitution.


Two campuses of Alvan Ikoku College of Education opened by Mbakwe government in Orlu and Umuahia were suddenly closed down by a new military governor at the instigation of Owerri people with flimsy excuses when Mbakwe left office; students and staff returned to Owerri.

Mbakwe government with the World Bank spent millions of Naira to refurbish a teachers college in Orlu, opened that campus of Alvan Ikoku College of education here in Orlu. It was ordered closed three years later; millions of Naira put in to refurbish the place went down the drains.

Even when Futo, aice and polynekede were in Owerri, people of Owerri told then gov Evan Enwerem to locate Imsu in Owerri. What business might Imsu have in Owerri then if not profiteering from prostitution and advantages of closeness to multi faculty universities?

All governors of Imo state since 1999 except Ihedioha, made attempts to locate Imsu permanent outside Owerri. Even a committee of Ihedioha recommended using Eastern Palm university for Imsu.
Owerri fought all the governors but none of the governors built any permanent university houses in Owerri for IMSU till today.

Imsu has no business permanently located in Owerri.

Abagworo:
Owerri has more than 4 higher institutions and the Umuagwo Polytechnic though not in Owerri is more or less in outskirts of Owerri just two towns away from Obinze. Fecolart is in Owerri too but the prostitution ring has nothing to do with the institutions. It is more or less a mafia dealing in human trafficking across countries and cities. The same girls are rotated from Abuja to Lagos, Port-Harcourt and Owerri by same mafia. The students among them also rotate across these cities

The bolded is a consolation explanation.

Owerri is the only place in Nigeria with close to 300,000 young students in tertiary education institutions clustered within a 10km range, including those in Imo polytechnic Umuagwo, you rightly pointed out is more or less in Owerri.

There are no industries or service companies of repute that employ labor in Owerri. Civil servants and retail traders are mainly the employed in Owerri.

So the clustering of the young students in Owerri is behind the brothels, hotels and prostitution business in Owerri.

How could same girls be rotated by the same mafia between cities for prostitution business?

BastardWike:
Don't mind that village man, even real Orlu people with sense will be disappointed in him.

If a lie is repeated for too long unsuspecting ones will start seeing it as truth. I have his time today and that was why I took time to enlighten him. Hopefully, he will stop disgracing himself here.

Meanwhile, I have been to that Crystal Lake resort too. Then, they were trying to build a beach at the banks of Oguta lake.

In bold:

If an average civil servant from Owerri zone can train 4 of his kids in the tertiary education institutions littered in Owerri, a similar civil servant from Orlu zone may not afford to send and train up to 2 of his kids in Owerri.


Because the 4 kids of the Owerri man can be attending lectures from home, don’t pay rent, eat from the family hearth; the parents take control of their kids.

But the 2 students of the similar civil servant from Orlu zone must rent hostel or house in Owerri, cook different from their parents hearth in Orlu, out of touch with their family in Orlu.

Result: mass education in Owerri zone compared to Orlu zone. Disparity in education between the zones in one state is not good for a state.


The 300,000 or so students and visitors to them and the 5 tertiary education institutions in Owerri fetch about N3 billion monthly for development of Owerri. Nothing goes to Orlu and Okigwe areas.

It’s only a person from Orlu who has no good head that cannot see with my position.

BastardWike:
Don't mind that village man, even real Orlu people with sense will be disappointed in him.

Meanwhile, I have been to that Crystal Lake resort too. Then, they were trying to build a beach at the banks of Oguta lake.

When former governor Rochas Okorocha closed lap dance bars in Owerri, pimps fought him hard.


Okorocha set out to build a first ever permanent structures for Imo state university in Ideato, to reduce the level of pimping and prostitution in Owerri, pimps and rent profiteers fought him.

You seem to be the chairman of the pimps and rent profiteers in Owerri, given all you have put here to defend the absurdity of having all tertiary education institutions with close to 300,000 students in Owerri.

Fabulousl0l:
Tho, I'm not from Imo state but please stop spewing rubbish here

Build hotels and lounges in orlu and okigwe too and see how it will thrive

Owerri is a capital, it deserves all the attention it's getting

After all, there's eastern palm university at orlu and Absu at okigwe/uturu, what keeps them from developing?

Government cannot do everything, what has Anambra state government built at Nnewi, yet is developing on its own

Stop complaining, start a manufacturing company at orlu, then others will follow, before you know it,everywhere will be developed

Is oguta crystal lake at Owerri? Are you people not visiting there?

I have been there like thrice, and we always come from portharcourt, each time I visit especially on weekends, everywhere will be full

OruExpress - sharaap with your many monikers here.

Even a child in the kindergarten can understand the absurdity in locating all five tertiary education institutions in one state in just one town alone, while the other towns in the state have nothing. State capital my foot. Only in Imo state.

Edo state 2nd state university was built by Adams Oshiomwole when he was governor of Edo state, the same way Rochas Okorocha built Eastern Palm university when he was governor of Imo state.

The Successor of Oshiomwole converted the university he built to 2nd Edo state university.

But the one Rochas Okorocha built for Imo state university is still being resisted by profiteers in Owerri who want all universities in Imo state to remain in Owerri.

BastardWike:
Some of us Igbos have terrible crab mentality. If anything good is not happening in our own kindred, village or community, we will look for a way to condemn it. We really need to do away with this disgusting attitude.

Instead of encouraging Owerri to continue growing in this niche all they do is to criticize and bad-mouth it.

Foolish people!!

In bold.

Your desire to have Owerri to grow at the expense of Orlu and Okigwe and send Orlu and Okigwe to near extinction is the typical CRAB mentality in you.

You want your brothels and hotels prostitution business in Owerri to boom. That’s why you refuse to accept the abnormality in Imo state of futo, Imsu, aifce, polytechnicnekede, fercolat- Owerri- nothing in Orlu and Okigwe areas.


Abia state has Fed university in Capital district Umuahia.

Abia state university in Uturu

Abia state polytechnic in Aba.


Delta state has state university in Abraka,

A federal university in Effurun Warri.

A federal university in Okekenkoro.


Edo state has University of Benin in state capital.

Edo university in Uzairue.

2nd Edo state university - Ambrose Ali university in Ekpoma.


Akwa Ibom state has fed University of Uyo.

Federal Polytechnic, Ukana.

Akwa Ibom State University in Mkpat-Enin.

Akwa Ibom State College of Art and Science, Ning Ukim.

Maritime Academy of Nigeria, Oron.

Akwa Ibom State Polytechnic, Ikot Ekpene


Akwa Ibom State College of Education, Afahansit.

This pattern of distribution of tertiary education institutions goes on in all the 35 states of Nigeria - except Imo state where Owerri takes every thing.

If you in particular are not after your hotel and prostitution business in Owerri, who in his right senses shall continue to condone having all tertiary education institutions in Imo state in Owerri?

BastardWike:
The problem with you and your likes is ignorance, lack of exposure, unnecessary envy and primitive clannishness. Owerri has always been ahead of Orlu and Okigwe even before states were created.

For those that have been saying nonsense on how higher institutions is causing prostitution in Owerri, A BIG LIE THAT HAS BEEN STATED OVER AND OVER. Now, look at the number of higher institutions in Enugu l compiled below:

1. Enugu State college of education.
2. Caritas University.
3. Institute of Management Technology IMT.
4. University of Nigeria Enugu Campus UNEC.
5. Osisatech Polytechnic.
6. Madonna University Enugu Campus.
7. Godfrey Okoye University.
8. ESUT College of Medicine.
9. ATCOI College of Education.
10. Renaissance University.
11. ESUT Business School.
12. Enugu State University of Science and Technology.

Enugu has up to 12 higher institutions while Owerri has just 4 namely FUTO, IMSU, Alvan and Imo Poly. Now, the question is, if higher institutions makes prostitution to thrive, why hasn't Enugu become the prostitution capital of Nigeria?

I'm not from Owerri, but I don't understand all these hate and envy on Owerri. Owerri is clearly carving a niche as a relaxation and entertainment city, and not because it has lots of higher institutions rather it is because of its central location in between two commercial cities Aba and Onitsha as well as P.H has helped it to thrive as a hub in relaxation and entertainment.

You list mostly private tertiary education institutions in Enugu some of them can’t hold hard the population of students in Imsu, talk less AIfce and futo in Owerri.

There is the huge University of Nigeria in Nsukka helping to induce human and economic development in that part of Enugu state.

Owerri clothes tight to all six tertiary education institutions in Imo state for keep.

Until you agree that it’s absurd for Owerri to host all tertiary education institutions in Imo state while there is nothing in Orlu and Okigwe zones, you continue to be seen as a love-vendor benefiting from prostitution of under age students in Owerri through brothels and hotels springing up all over Owerri.
