Sinistami:


Well my own is that, every ethnic group has done one thing or the other that wasn't good. Igbos too aren't excluded so stop acting like you're the only victim. Everybody here is a victim.

I've never claimed that Igbo is saint. I'm just saying the fact. Ijaws made many mistakes in the past ranging from betraying the Biafran soldiers in their land to protect them, the abandon property saga to the exclusion of indigenous Igbos in Rivers state in Rivers state politics and encouraging the Igbo identity denial.

Amah70:


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.

Guy it's not true.

But on a serious note, who is uncivil here? Imposters like you and Nairaland prompted whatever action or attitude I've displayed here. You know that your attitude is the most uncivil here.

Show me the civil and right thinking man that behave the way you behave, show me the civil man that will open his mouth and say that his fellow man who he does not know is running a prostitution business, show me the civil man who opens his mouth and says that another man's land thrives only on prostitution and brothel business, show me the civil man who is repeating one same old story for more than 7yrs today, show me the civil man that will deny his identity and claim another man's land just to spread his political propaganda?

Oga your parents should go back to your schools and ask for the refund of money they wasted on your education. You are a confirmed lunatic. And leave Orlu out of this your madness.

Sinistami:



lol... I see your pessimism won't end so I rest my case.

Ok, good for you. Was it not an Ijaw man as a governor that changed many Igbo community names to something that is meaningless in Igbo language (e.g Obigbo to Oyigbo) inorder to claim that Igbo has no foot in Rivers State. Thank God that today everything is backfiring.

Amah70:




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

Totally wrong. Orlu hotel is located at Enugu road

Amah70:



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

It's not Enugu road. The one you called bank road the real name is enugu road. People prefer to call it bank road because of large number of banks located on it and within.

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

It's Asika ilobi road. Pls stop wasting your time on that imposter. Post more pics.

rtdCivilservant:

Exactly my stance, the way he talks about Orlu as if it is one ghetto. I am even thinking that he is here for a mission, I doubt if truly he is from Imo talk more of Orlu.
At this juncture, I want to make a decree: By the powers bestowed onto me, I hereby declare Amah70 an 'OUTCAST', he is now a persona non grata.

Seconded. The idiot is not from Orlu.

rtdCivilservant:

Self pity will not help u people, it will only make people see Orlu as a refugee camp (which is not the case). Orlu this, Orlu that, as if it is only Orlu that is neglected, u people are just crying like silly children, now u brought electricity into ur madness, as if Electricity is bad only in Orlu, as if Electricity is controlled by the state. Abeg make una try get sense, even if na small.

Oga, Orlu has never been neglected since 1999. Haven't you seen any video of Orlu?

Leave Berem, that's her style always seeking for attention. She always like joining where the heat is high, if majority of people here say that Orlu is neglected that's where she will belong. If the same majority turn and say Orlu is the best, you will still see her praising Orlu. She always like following majority, she is not outstanding and has no proper direction.

Okporo has many good roads and it's fast developing because of many government properties sited there.

Beremx:
I am not talking about the market. The road is my concern. That the road remains in the same situation after 7years is something to be worried about.

Which of the road madam, so you have not changed?

Okporo has one of the best roads in LGA. If you can not appreciate the good market, what of school of nursing and health technology and the new lockup shops in Okporo built by Imo state government?

Sinistami:


We didn't brainwash anybody guy. They all chose to be called Ijaw by themselves, nobody forced them. Blood knows blood. I admit there are igbo elements in their culture and language but you know those two stuffs are actually very dynamic. None of us here are one tribe genetically. My grandmother is Igbo , my great grandfather is Creole but I identify as Ijaw because I and my people choose too.

When did Ijaw even get the means to brainwash people sef.

Story for the gods. In the old Rivers State when ijaws were holding power, did they give work/job to anybody bearing Igbo name?

How was Ikwerre and other Igbo groups in Rivers State treated? The attitude of ijaws and maltreatment of Igbos from Igbo clans in the old Rivers state by the ijaws catalysed the Igbo identity denial. Don't come here and tell us rubbish, nobody is a child here.

In the early 1990s I was living in portharcourt with my parents.

Sinistami:



lol..I would have loved to educate you but I don't have strength. FYI Ijaw doesn't claim Ekpeye and Ogba. I've never heard of that but I know Bonny , Opobo , Kalabari and Okirika are proud members of IYC.

Lol, Opobo and Bonny, Igbos proud members of IYC? Maybe it's those ones you were able to brainwashed that if they accept their Igbo identity other Nigerians will kill them or will not give them job.

Amah70:



Loool.
As always - writing out of point.
Always shooting on wrong targets.
When will you learn to discuss on a public forum?

Only a fool would go through my posts here, thereafter write that I am not from Orlu.


You know that reasonable people don’t respond to your comments on NL. I am responding to make you aware, but will not respond to you further.

Guy stop this nonsense, you are not from Orlu. What do you really want to achieve?

FACE:


Good points.

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

The guy is not one of us. He is a paid agent from the west paid to distract and destroy Rochas' achievement. Now that Rochas is no longer in power he has channelled all his energy in denigrating Owerri. Painting Owerri a brothel city while you and I know that Owerri does not in any way near Lagos, portharcourt, Calabar, Abuja, Kaduna or even Birnin koni in Niger republic in brothel activities.

He's typing from the script given to him by his paid masters. The worst of it is that this guy is not from Imo and I've unknownly to him met him in person. Even his Facebook "Denis Ozuo" account is a fake one.

BastardWike:


You're a funny man. Gwagwalada is not attached to Abuja town, you will still drive on the highway before getting to Abuja city. The distance between Gwagwalada and Abuja is a massive 47 killometers! On the other hand, the distance between Owerri and Ulakwo is a mere 16 killometers yet we don't count Ulakwo as part of Owerri because they're completely distinct towns with uninhabited forests demarcating them. However, residential houses, offices etc continue from Owerri city center to places like Orji, Egbu, Naze, Avu, Akwakuma etc. Is ShopRite not located at Egbu?

Places like Lugbe and Kubwa are now considered part of Abuja. I'm talking about Lekki all the way from Admiralty plaza down that are now completely built up and has merged with Lagos, same with areas like Onipanu, Maryland all the way to Ikorodu or Iyana Ipaja areas. All these places have become part of Lagos city but they weren't years ago.

Owerri had just 11,000 people in the 1950's and over the years it has grown beyond Douglas, Wetheral and Ikenegbu layout. Stop confusing yourself.

No, ShopRite is located at Egbu road not Egbu town. But I see all as part of greater Owerri city.

Amah70:


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.

I will respond to you later when I have enough chance. Let me read news, I'm here now to read news.

Graysons:
Even at that self why will the Okrikans do that? And are Okrikans even interested in being governor of Rivers state? i don't think so.

Maybe he is talking about kalabari people, they are the ones eyeing that goverment seat since the days of Omehia.

Still begs the question tho, why will the kalabaris do that?

But truth be said, Rivers state is not only owned by the igboid groups. Ogoni or Ijaw man should be allowed to rule. I have the feeling that Ijaw man as a governor of Rivers state will work for the Igbos and right the wrong. He will like to change the impression that Ijaw and Igbo are enemies.

He will like to prove the Igbos that the Ijaws hold nothing against them. All the other tribes in Delta and Cross river states allow Igbos (Ifeanyi Okowa and sen. Lyel Imoke) to rule them. So Igbos/Igboid groups in Rivers State should replicate such kind gesture and allow either an Ijaw or Ogoni man to take over from Gov. Wike.

ekesol:
The Whole Rivers state is IMO state. We move remaining Obigbo, And Obiokpo LGA . We move

The whole of Egbema, Ndoni, Oguta clan in Rivers state and Etche should be ceded to Imo state. Then Omuma and Obigbo should be taken back to Abia state.

Logan23:



Opobo is igbo...

No kee urself because of it.

Ijaws like claiming people and people's land. Whatever they see in Bayelsa state, southern parts of Delta, Rivers, and Edo including the riverine areas of Ondo and Akwa ibom states even when they are speaking different languages with them is ijaw.

How can you say people who speak language different from yours but same with another is your people? Ijaws are the real land grabbers in the south and whenever you attempt to tell them that these people are your people they term you land grabbers, people who went as far as claiming Ndoki, Opobo and Bonny in Rivers State, Ekpeye and Ogba in Rivers and Bayelsa states.

This their attitude is the reason why they are hostile with their neighbors. They have fought with the itsekiri, Urhobo, Ikwerre and Ilaje people of Ondo state, they have attempted and threatened Edo people with war. They use oil deposit, rivers and state boundary as yardsticks for determining their Ijaw ethnicity.

Any Urhobo, Igbo, Benin or Yoruba town or land surrounded by Rivers with oil deposits is assumed by them to be Ijaw land.

SlayerForever:
Exactly. It's a pity an economic melting point like Aba too does not have an airport or riverport closeby. The impact would be massive. Overt economic sabotage.

There will be a river port in Aba soon. The plan has been concluded.

Amah70:


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

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.

RareDiamond:
About forty one 41 communities in Rivers State have been moved back to Imo State through boundary adjustment.

This is a good news I love it. When will the take Obigbo and Omuma back to Abia state?

After thorough checks, I found no potopotor anywhere in the pictures..







So did nairalanders got the idea of potopotor Republic?

As usual na, craft out something bad and put it on the igbos.

80% of the things (Igboland is underdeveloped, igboman love money, Igboman stingy, Igboman greedy, Igboman too like show, Igbos no like themselves, Igbos are ritualistic, Igbos are not strength forward, Igbos are this, Igbos are that) said about the Igbos are lies, just crafted and marketed out of envy to pull Igbos down.

Grgton:
instead of IMO state govt removing those roundabouts, why not install Traffic lights that is effective... or create or maintain already existing bypass... this is festive period such urban renewal is not properly timed,

Hope is very confused. I wish this man will not continue beyond 2023. When I saw the caption, Urban renewal, I thought he is going to take it to suburbs around Owerri and also extend it to Orlu and Okigwe. There's nothing Urban renewal in this movement apart from destruction of the existing beautiful roundabouts and introduce whatever he thinks is ok.

Imo should go beyond this type of politics it's pissing. What is wrong in creating more new cities like new Owerri phase II or another layout in Owerri? Government should be for continuity not for all round overhaul. Destroying existing things to build new ones on the same space is wrong. And also abandoning a project of previous administration and start a similar project is totally wrong. If Imo continues like this in time to come the state will look horrible due to abandoned projects, waste of funds, lack of progress and expansion.

I have seen a case where Hope demolished an existing hospital to build a mall on the same space, demolished a tunnel instead of reinforcement which the demolition is still ongoing for several months despite the claim that the tunnel was not strong. All these are waste of Imo state limited fund. If Hope goes down tomorrow another person that will take over from him might start demolishing his malls to build hospitals on the same space and claim that it was hospitals that were there but demolished by Hope, he might equally destroy the roads and return the roundabouts with the claim that the roundabouts were the initial plans.

Hope should be called to order. Imo state government is not his birthright, it's something Imolites asked him to hold for them just for a while soon they will collect it back from him and give it to another person. He can't stay there forever.

In my short trip to imo, i kept hearing negative coment about mbaise people. Some called them betrayers,selfish. Even wen i insistd there were exception, they said d exception are 1% d entire people. WHAT IS D PROBLEM WIT THEM?

The only problem they have is that they are too good. Hope you are ok now?

In Asia, Igbos also occupy Malaysia West, Cambodia East and Thailand East, so the whole of Asia is Igbo.

Continue deceiving yourself fool.

modsfucker:
Mr. Chairman or whatever your name is, we are IPOB and we own Idoma Land...

In fact, we had a pact with the lord that we would develop everywhere in the world, so Idoma Land can never be an exception

For the records, we are behind the development you see in Malaysia, Cambodia, South Africa, Lagos Italy, Germany and India

You should therefore note that, Benue, Kogi, Edo, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom, Cross River and Delta all belong to us.

It may interest you to know that the US VP-elect is our latest in-law in town.

Igbo kwenu

Clap for yourself. This is what you lots know how to do, writing rubbish in the name of Igbo so as to attract rubbish and negative reactions to the Igbos.

A LGA chairman or a governor has no right to say whether his people or land belong to Biafra or not, it is only a referendum which is the real voice of the people that can tell the true wishes of the people.

Forget about all these shouts, it's not today that we've hearing things like this. In Nigeria, people are more afraid of Fulanis and Fulani in power they can kill their own blood just to please the fulani. It's only Igbo youths and ijaw youths that can stand and agitate for whatever they believe without fear or favor even when they are being killed by the military.

And mind you, Igbos have never taken Biafran agitation beyond Igboland. Anywhere you see Biafran agitation, it's done by Igbos indigenous to that area. Igbos don't encroach into another man's land like your people. It's only uninformed people like you do not know that apart from southeast, Igbos are in states like Rivers, Delta, Cross river, Benue, Bayelsa, Akwa ibom and even in Edo state.

In Rivers, they occupy places like Oyigbo, Omuma, Etche, Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni, Ahoada east and west, Opobo, some part of Bonny and Eleme and even the 4 LGAs of Ikwerre.

In Delta State, Igbos occupy Aniocha north and south, Oshimili north and south, Ndokwa east and west, Ika northeast and south and Ukwuani.

In Cross river, they are found in places like Abi, Obubra, Yala etc

In Benue state, Igbos are found in Ado, Oju, Obi, Okpokwu and in a very small number in Ogbadibo

In Bayelsa state, they are found in Yenagoa (Ekpeye clans) and Sagbama (Ogba clans)

In Akwa ibom, Igbo is found in Ukanafun (Ndoki clan), Ikot Abasi (Opobo clan) and in some other places.

In Edo state, they can be seen in Orhionmwon (many Ika clans).
