Abagworo:
Are you in any way insinuating that all these pictures on this thread are false? Spare us the lies abeg. Even Orlu is developed and rescued from decay not to talk of Owerri that is now looking like Switzerland.

not sure about owerrri looking like Switzerland..entered owerri yesterday and it looks nothing like that..as for okoroccha he has vvision but his execusion precision and efficiency is 50%.

I think he campaigned near ariaria though because I just saw some pics now.

Ochendo global!!!

By the way what happened to this. http://www.google.com.ng/url?q=http://www.abiastate.gov.ng/news/press/abia-state-government-signs-mou-with-honeywell-group/&sa=U&ei=QliVVLCqKMmuU6GZgaAL&ved=0CAsQFjAA&usg=AFQjCNHITFysLojWOvGX3eSFm8EDO4rEVA.....http://www.google.com.ng/url?q=http://pointblanknews.com/pbn/news/abia-to-partner-with-honeywell-group-on-palm-cement-production/&sa=U&ei=QliVVLCqKMmuU6GZgaAL&ved=0CA0QFjAB&usg=AFQjCNEBXtYeze7J5dBKmkWRujmy-VYpLw

what has happened to the above?

cjrane:
Lagos.
A few tailors i personally know have moved to the east.

am I to believe that they are making more money in Onitsha than they would have made in Lagos?

cjrane:
Plenty of Ndi ofe now live in Onitsha. I don't know if they will begin to build houses in the long run. I know many tailors that relocated to Onitsha.Yoruba tailors are actually preferred by our people to make the traditional dress for them.

relocated to Onitsha from where?

abagoro:
Obasanjo was corrupt but he never stole 16billion. The truth is that money was lavished on importation of materials and construction of power plants which were not completed by the end of his tenure.
As for Abacha I swear his name was dented with conspiracy. Tell me how he could have stolen and at the same time developed Abuja and Niger Delta area, stabilized the value of Naira, subsidised petroleum products, did not borrow a dime and oil was barely 9dollar per barrel to a peak of 15 Dollars per barrel all through his 5 years in power with lower production. Tell me where the stolen money comes from.

hope this your view of abacha is a joke?

spyder880:
Inside the CBN quarters. ......Enugu.

this place looks rusty though.

ChimaAdeoye:
Very true.
But government can attract companies that run such business, give them all the enabling tools and sign an MUO to have 40% of the shares of the company. In this way, the private experts run the facility without government control and government get dividend for their investment. It's a win win situation. Why can't we make that arrangement?

NNPC joint ventures are exactly that way. Left alone, NNPC cannot extract one cup of oil.
Imo can set up her own oil minerals development company that does precisely what NNPC is doing in helping private companies to set up and maintain a 40% share in those companies for the state government.

well I cant say why?

Charlesdonald:
about 10000 capacity

to be honest I do not really see why govt should be involved in building such..anyway rochas knows why.

ChimaAdeoye:
[size=16pt]Hydrocarbon based Industrialization[/size]

[size=13pt]Imo has commercial quantities of oil and gas. Which is currently being exported to other countries to create good jobs for their citizens while many Imo youths are forced to go to Lagos, PH, Abuja, Onitsha, Kano to seek a way to earn a living.

Now some of the small 10,000 bpd refineries in the world cost less than $10 -15 million dollars to build. This is about N5-6 billion naira, which Imo state can easily afford in one fiscal year's budget!!! Why can we build a refinery near one of our major oil wells and simply purchase the crude from the company extracting crude from the site to feed our refinery.

Then build a type of NNPC mega station outside the refinery so that the refined petroleum products can be sold to trailers for the filling stations? This alone will create hundreds of thousands of good paying jobs in Imo state. So why can't we do it? Why must we wait for Shell, Dangote or FG to build key factories we know that are critical for our survival? This is part of the reason whitemen call us poor people living in the midst of plenty.[/size]

govts do not run biz let alone something like refinery...how are govt owned refineries doing in Nigeria?

Jakpon:
the OP isnt lieing. The fighting is very very serious

do you know the cause of the fight?

Abagworo:
When one thinks of Miami or Las Vegas, there is some kind of joy it gives especially if you are well off or fun loving. Thats the feeli.g Owerri in paticular gives.

nothing wrong with industrial activities existing side by side with this...as for agric I doubt that 'have you planted palm' mantra really achieved much.

Abagworo:
I see it as being of no use having factories in every State since each has its peculiarities. Hospitality, tourism and Agricture creates far more jobs than manufacturing. Igboland is a block and everywhere has their specialization. Orlu for example is emerging as Nigeria's future pharmaceutical base. What Okorocha is doing is to create easy access to Orlu from Owerri and indigenes of Orlu area who are mostly into pharmaceuticals will be encouraged to site their industries in their respective villages. As for Owerri industrial layout, its future is bright.

well orlu indigenes dissappoint me a bit because the number of pharmaceutical outfits in their town is not commensurate to their people in control of the pharmaceutical space..don't really know what is bright about owerri industrial layout unless there is a strategic plan to really develop it since owerri is not a preferred destination of industrial outfits.

Abagworo:
Let us face reality. Imo is not an industrial State but what can be done is basic industrial establishment. The industrial layout in Owerri is well located and has better access road than those in Aba but industries keep springing up in Aba and many of them built by Imo indigenes. The only way Imo can industrialise is through the Nnewi model of people wisely siting industries in either their State or village but my question is whats the point? Since each Igbo State has its peculiarity and function let it remain so. Imo should forget factories and focus on hospitality, tourism and holiday industry that we are leading. Let Abia and Anambra continue being our industrial base.

what are the tourist site in orlu and its environs?when you talk of hospitality I hope you do not mean the things happening around owerri?why should Imo not focus on industrial activities If it would help unemplyment?

I wish extensive work is done on that industrial layout owerri off the express to encourage industrial outfits siting ttheir biz there.

By the way what happened to this. http://www.google.com.ng/url?q=http://www.abiastate.gov.ng/news/press/abia-state-government-signs-mou-with-honeywell-group/&sa=U&ei=QliVVLCqKMmuU6GZgaAL&ved=0CAsQFjAA&usg=AFQjCNHITFysLojWOvGX3eSFm8EDO4rEVA.....http://www.google.com.ng/url?q=http://pointblanknews.com/pbn/news/abia-to-partner-with-honeywell-group-on-palm-cement-production/&sa=U&ei=QliVVLCqKMmuU6GZgaAL&ved=0CA0QFjAB&usg=AFQjCNEBXtYeze7J5dBKmkWRujmy-VYpLw

Abagworo:
Not at all. The site was politicised by PDP and Egbu is the worst choice.



Egbu is a crowded village and should not have been allowed to enter Owerri urban. The reason why Port Harcourt has a lot of shanty settlements is because of urban encroachment into densely populated rural areas. Nekede, Ihiagwa, Egbu et al should be usolated from Owerri while expansion should gear towards Port Harcourt where there is enough virgin land. That Shoprite should have been sited at Avu.

development meeting up with the surrounding or neighbouring villages is inevitable...what matters is what the state government is willing to do about it like modernising the infrastructure of those villages or whether the villages iin question would be receptive to such and not behave like those villages surrounding ph that can block a road infrastructure that is meant to decongest traffic because it passes 'our land'....i don't think govt in neglecting all those new owerri axis though.

Collynzo9:
That is a nice place to cite it.
Helps the much needed expansion of the city.

don't know about that because that egbu road can conjested at times let alone that Shoprite wants to open there.

One question abagworo..gmdo you know whether owerri to anara rroad is being dualized or it has being halted? I have not being to that axis for long and no news coming from there

B2mario:
Asha80 abiakwa ozo, when did i call him a failed businessman.
What i meant to say was that he as a businessman failed as the PDP primaries not actually how you understood it.
Yea, Uche Ogah is very much popular in Abia, though he's from isukwuato but he is so much cherished in Aba. Nobody knows Otti in Abia state, we know him as a bank CEO but was thinking he's from either delta, anambra or imo

well it sounded like you called him a failed biz in the Imo thread...quite curious though that he is popular in aba since he is not an 'aba boy'.

B2mario how come you were rooting for Uche ogah whom you called a failed businessman ?and also ogah was from isuikwuato so i don't understand the sudden turn of it must be ngwa or ukwa that you are using against otti.

abacrested:
In an effort to ensure Alex Otti saves abia from the impending loom,defected members of Pdp in a seminar organised and funded by APGA in aba recently revealed that a PDP stalwart and formal osisioma ngwa LG chairman Mr Alen Nwachukwu has about 12 polling units in his compound, this unit is allege to have more registered voters than the whole osisioma LG.team Otti

this is a joke right?do people still rig this way?

The Onitsha Enugu highway was not awarded..what happened was that the money meant for it was approved....odenigbo never attribute the misdemeanor of one man to a whole state as you should know that by now unless you want the maladministration of ukpabi asika to be blamed on all anambrarians.

Guy nothing concerns most of the pics you have been posting with your topic..don't be overzealous.

emindu:
T.a orji a proudly governor

hehe is this supposed to be English?

Abagworo:
Is your statement based on the internet pictures or have you been there? I have been there lately and it is nothing like the pictures all over the net. It is as bad as every other market in Nigeria apart from shopping malls. The problem seems to be the building of more shops closer to drainage and people covering drainage in some instances.

I am basing my comment on the pics on the net..I mean the shop stalls itself

Just a question though who is going to occupy aba mega mall?ariaria traders or new set of people?that ariaria market needs total makeover

Aba mega mall is a private venture so the fear that the present abia govt I soon to come to an end should not elicit fear
