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.

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.

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?

Opobo is igbo...

No kee urself because of it.

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.

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

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

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







So did nairalanders got the idea of potopotor Republic?

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,

engrtee:
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?

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

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.

You mean the same Okorocha that one of the buildings he built collapsed the day they went to commission it?

DrGoodman:
You are blind, I have seen Abakpa here, Emene, Ziks avenue, New haven and even Gra and you are saying he only took Independence layout?

That Faulks road...is it that the road can never ever be constructed properly?

I left A Bee A in 2014, and that road was terrible and I still gather it still is, so what is really the problem of that road?

kimjongJezebel:
Osinbajo that has been lying and defending Buhari's catastrophic regime more than anyone else? All these propaganda won't take anyone anywhere. Since 1999, Obasanjo from SW has ruled for 8 years and Osibanjo is now on his 2nd term as VP also from the SW while we Niger Delta only has a single term and nothing for SE yet some SW people still want to rule in 2023?

It's either Niger Delta complete their terms in 2023, SE is given the chance or else North go rule tire be that nah

Lol this is where you are supposed to be because it is your state.

Osagyefo98:
For the likeness alone I am humbled.

As for the person you quoted,I will be the last to swim in the mud on their igbo sentiments and the rest.

Their psyche have been deleted by Nnamdi Kanu that none of them reasons line humans again.


I am a different breed not rag-tags like them.


They are visionless but feeds facts from Ipob headquarters of propaganda.

Watch his statement. He's good at pitching tribe against tribe, state against state. He has many monikers. Don't be surprised that 40% of people commenting here is just one and same person.
I pride myself as been fair and just.

Ebenezer2021:
dude claim he's from anambra but he shot himself in the foot with the comment below

Nobody betrayed him.they betrayed him only when he started trying to impose nwosu.is that not how he pushed out his first deputy agbaso

garfield1:
Did tinubu ever interfere in rivers? Amechi cannot succeed buhari,he is a failure.put timipre sylva in rivers and see him thrash wike.
I know you like okorocha and you are part of his inner caucus but he overreached himself.he never applied commonsense.the opposition to nwosu was too much.he could have anointed eze madumere,sir Jude ejiogu,araraume,late uwajumogu,the great sir best mbanaso or any other loyalist from outside orlu zone while putting nwosu as his deputy and the ticket would be accepted easily.

If your oga is not careful,he would not get a return ticket to the senate.let him behave himself.up apc

Ugbelle is older Community than Orlu itself, according to age-old gradings of Communities in Orlu area.
Next time, don’t go into matters you know nothing or little about.

To clarify, if you leave Orlu going to Akokwa through the dual carriage road you show here and there online, going downhill towards Ideato, after about 2kms, you meet Ugbelle Community in Orlu LGA.

After about 4kms or so, you get to the roundabout at Ideato South LGA, then leave the dual carriage road at the first exit at the roundabout, you then start to approach Ogboko in Ideato South LGA where Eastern Palm University is located.

Una eye go clear if Rochas becomes president,,he will tell una that he is building Abuja to international standard, but abandons Owerri and other major Nigerian cities to rot.
