Don't forget the news broke out that week he entered office.
If indeed he did what u said he did, shouldn't it have ben in the news ? After all that's the norm in nigeria. Or doesn't he have a media team?

the media team announced it then..it was also in print but like I said our mind is tuned towards sensationalism https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vanguardngr.com/2019/07/imo-govt-to-refurbish-water-scheme-with-n49m/amp/

blowjohn:
One of the first can be the tenth.
What we read in the media was fighting and more fightings when ihedioha came in.
Am not from imo btw.
What u shud check is if the new governor has been chasing people up and down

the media thrives on the sensation..what you were hearing was what they wanted you to hear..those that live on the state or visit regularly knew the truth

supereagle:
I live in Owerri. Where did ihedioha do it? I admire him for the standard roads he was doing in Owerri.

he awarded the contract in july last year

Only fools will be deceived

Hahahaha... So I'm not the only one who sees this? Uzodimma already looks like a thief from afar. Na God go help us! Hopefully he pulls off an Ngige stunt in Imo and does winders in a short time.

'pulls off an ngige stunt'..very funny ..you better prepare for the worst..if you think I am joking ask about uzodinma past wrt festac in the early 90s and subject should be leading 419 kingpins of that era

Lol rochas template..419 move

Rikidony:
chai, when I remember how Manchester United cut my 3mil ticket 2 weeks ago, thank God I was able to move on.

when you wanna play a long ticket, try booking online, at least dude would have cashout immediately.

imagine playing under 2.5, but United ended up winning 6 nil

you can still cashout out if played on tickets

SoNature:
Nigerian political analysts will talk about this case in decades to come

Supreme Court goofed big time

The jury should have called for a rerun in the disputed polling centers

very big goof.. even I ihedioa's fan wasn't really expecting him to win at the supreme court but a rerun of those disputed wards or at least another fresh election

JUGGERNAUT101:
That is only a figment of the imagination of whoever conceived such dumb idea. It will never be a reality . The Baro was only used to ferry groundnut and cotton within short distance in the north.
I'm not sure if some of you understand Geography. You think the British were dumb when they built freight train to transport goods from north and midwest to the coastal seaports?
You should ask the FG why, not me . Perhaps,it was an tribalistic idea in case of eventuality of Nigeria's break up. But I can assure you the seaport will never be a reality. There are many reasons why ,but the first one is Nigeria does not have the funds to dredge even from Atlantic to Abia state .

first if I may ask which midwestern city or town did the British built railway pass through?

maybe you should focus your criticism on fg that decided to 'waste money' and not coming here first to hound another group about a presidency that has nothing to do with subject matter in the first instance

I am asking you why you think the fg is building baro port and not whether you think I understand geography

JUGGERNAUT101:
That map makes more sense with all the ethnic groups having their own state.There's no reason to have 36 states . Whatever internal squabbles existed should have been resolved within those states ,not create new states.
On another note , why must Onitsha or Igboland have seaport? You don't need a seaport to develop. Inland states and cities in North America and landlocked countries in Europe simply have dry port and connect through freight train .Botswana is a landlocked but developed country with dry port . That requires diplomacy with neighbors , not the current antagonistic Igbo behavior towards everyone .
The reality is Igboland is landlocked and the best option is simply a dry port with freight train connecting either to Calabar or Onne Seaport.
It would cost over $50 billion dollars to dredge the river Niger from Atlantic ocean to Onitsha, and it would cost $30 Billion dollars to dredge from atlantic to Abia state. Where will that money come from ? Even so,those rivers are territorial waters and would require permission from those states.
It cost $1.5 Billion dollars to build a seaport and $1 Billion to build a freight train from Calabar or Onne Seaport to Onitsha. Which option makes more sense ? Even so,those rivers are territorial waters and would require permission from those states.


P.S There's already international airport at Enugu . No one stops anyone from marketing and directing international flights there ,and besides the funds for renovation were embezzled by Stella Oduah and other Anambra politicians. Now Anambra wants to build an interrnational Airport instead of upgrading and using only Enugu Airport or even Asaba International Airport. That just shows how dumb and divided Igbos are. Anambra opposes Imo state for president ,Abia opposes Ebonyi for president, Enugu opposes Anambra for president. The hausa/Fulani and others chose only one candidate. Don't blame anyone .

why is fg interested in building baro port?

sanctity454:
Continuity in projects already on ground, all the road project of ihedioha is still going on, plans to relocate federal agencies as proposed by Rochas is seeing the light.

it isnt just about continuity.. it is also about his ideas on government, education,infrastructure etc

sanctity454:
I personally is not his fan, but i admire his ideology of continuity. No witch hunting, this was what i was begging the past governor to do but his mind was too vindictive.

when you say continuity ,continuity of what exactly?

President2031:
m

Empty vessel.

You have made NO point!

We Niger deltans got tired, made complains, we were being marginalized by you igbos in government during Eastern region and finally Gowon divided the fraudulent Eastern region and Western region. Created old Rivers state and Bender state.

You immediately declared Biafra and included we Niger deltans who just got freedom from your Igbo dominated Eastern region, we rejected you people and blocked Port harcourt sea port and you all started dying of hunger.

Now you’re forming we are Easterners with us?? You think we are fools?

How many times have the Yorubas claim Delta and Edo? Have you ever seen them including these two state in their Western issues? Can’t you see how civilized they are?


It is only you igbos with backward reasoning that still think this is 1960s with your Eastern region none sense.

We are have grown above such trick, how can we be Easterners when we rejected Eastern region and requested for our own state old River state made up of Cross rivers,Akwa ibom, Rivers, and Bayelsa? Can’t you see the difference is clear?

Are you tired of being Easterners??

who suggested the name south south region in the first instance?

Newmans:
Pls get it right these ports you mentioned here are not located in the south East calabar port is in south south the one port you mentioned also is in worry delta state still South south none of them are from the South east. Don't deceive people.

eastern ports not ss or se

BiafraforTrump:
I know that but Asaba would be carved into Biafraland cos we are all same people. We are not really after oil cos there is no much oil in Asaba axis, we just want to have all our people living together in harmony peace and progress.. You dig??

goodluck

BiafraforTrump:
What?? But asaba speak IGBO and their culture and practices are fully Igboid.. What are you saying??

Only Edo is western, we dash una Edo state

go and look at the Nigerian map in 1965..I am talking regions not language

technicallyrich:
some part like ijaw,asaba,igbanke in edo and delta falls in the easttern region.
Itskiri and benin is west.
Dont add my tribe ijaw to west abeg you with the name of God.

asaba,igbanke and delta were actually former midwest not eastern region

sanctity454:
I love the architectural design
Palazzo hotel Owerri

the tarring leaves a lot to be desired

ledamaster:
See all these pained Mbaise clowns, just 2weeks ago IMO was working well, and in less than 14days of change of governor IMO is no longer working. What was Ihediohas work before he became a house member? Lol, losers. I remember the last time I came here to complain on why there is need to spread developement wholistically in Imo, these Owerri zone pained clowns here were barking at me like mad dogs, well Orlu have collected what they loadlned y'all. Gods willing Hope won't be like those heediots before him. Y'all are totally shameless, supporting the idiocy of having only one city in an entire state. Orlu and Okikwe must surely be developed by fire by force or no power shift. If Hope messes up, he will be replaced by another Orlu or Okikwe until a sensabke person gets there.

lol hope is actually going to be worse going by his antecedents..just start wailing now to ease your pain

Beremx:
Back then when I was in school at owerri, the public water supply was still functioning, then Udenwa was governor. The taps stopped rushing when Ohakim and Rochas became governors.
I don't think public water supply will be brought back again in owerri. Things have changed you know.

How are you doing?

the previous admin was in the process of bringing back pubic water supply in owerri..lets see if the present admin will abandon it or maintain the plans that were restoring it

This one na irony ..imagine person way be 419 kingpin back in the early 90s saying he will clamp down on yahoo

Javierleon:
I have read hope's intentions for a new IMO
It seems its based more on institutional infrastructural development
He didn't say much on physical infrastructures
# my thought

lol make we dey watch na..na soso politics in the next 3 yrs

Sounds watery to.me

Does anyone have uzodinma's development plan for imo state?

Blindersoff:
Which people's will in Imo?

People's will yet Ihedioha could not even score 200,000 votes from the population of Imo which is in Millions?

Previously erroneously cancelled 388 polling units gave Uzodinma the victory over Ihedioha.

Generally Mbaise where Ihedioha is from is probably the most hated people in Imo because of their wicked ways.

The will of the people was HOPE and he was also the will of God.

EOD

lol will of God is that a reknowed 419ner will be governor of imo state

And quit this stupid talk of mbaise derision like as if mbaise has ever ruled the state and the state is largely nothing to write home about..

I can see some old characters still battling

DavIkenna:
focus on forming good allies that will bring investors to your state

you are on a long thing my friend..uzodinma and bringing investors?lmaoooo

UdechiHD:
It's obvious Ihedioha and his media goons have started off from where they stopped against Rochas. Uzodinma is their next prey.
Mbaise people should watch their utterances and not allow PDP use them to destroy Imo state.

keep quiet my friend...wasnt hope a reknowed 419 kingpin in lagos in the early 90s?

kikake:
God does wonders.
Gov Uzodinma must be another saviour sent by God to save Orlu area from total collapse.

Orlu zonal water works, a full university, Orlu roads and drainage.

Hope will do these things first. He knows what real development is.

lmaoo 419ner sent by God..wetin we no go hear..he knows what real development really is

3Ceagle:
You have just said what I have been saying, people have not profiled this man and are busy jubilating based on politics of party. Some years later they all start wailing, just like they did with Okorocha. This man has nothing to offer. Until I see his policy trust and verifiable performance, then i can change my position.

which policy trust?a heavy 419 man in festac those days?

Noerection:
Iyanmiris have started with their lies

what lies?
