This is not the road. I posted a clearer plc of this road with signpost written Mgumoha street. Go back to my post and see the road I was writing about. It has stone base but looks abandoned with overgrown grass. Theres a childrens park on the road.

In other words, I am blowing a heavy lie?

As per owerri I am not impressed with okorocha the town is still a very small town not growing nor expanding with Wider roads and city planning,suburbs like irete,avu,obinze,ihiagwa,nekede,naze,akwakuma,amakohia etc should be well planned with streets but this present government aint doing any thing about it,they leave people to build houses any how with no mapped out street and major road even if not tarred for the main time as its been done in lagos and other yoruba cities. on Oguta the most educated town in imo state,a potential federal government inland port town,a town with fresh water swamp,a town with oil/gas activities,a lake and tourist town,finally a huge agricultural potential town,okorosha government still left the town unplanned with wider streets,as in en I don tire for mallam okorosha I swear.

Very impressed so far with orlu pics,can somebody pls beg okorocha to stop littering everywhere in owerri with roundabouts even where its obviously not called for,okorocha also betrayed my trust on him now I visited owerri and found out he has abandoned the ohakim road project with bridges at amakohia and orji,what one will see in this places now are roundabouts,the enugu state government has constructed bridges in enugu urban but the only one necessary in owerri for now mallam okorocha has turned the place to a roundabout. Okorocha is also still failing to expand owerri the state capital with wider roads,the city still has only 3 to 4 major roads compared to other old cities in igboland,so fed up of okorosha and presently we have no better of person. On other cities orlu and okigwe he tried but he so much neglected the town with the highest potential in imo state which is oguta,will justify my claim on oguta in my next post,typing from my phone so paragraphs are not real.

Judging from my movement around Orlu and immediate environs, 2 roads are unfinished.

1 is old Owerri road but it looks like there is serious work and it will be completed year end or early next year. The 2nd road though short could have helped ease movement within Orlu central but looks completely abandoned and overgrown with grass. There is what looks like ITC park, a lively joint and children's park on that road. I dont know the name but here is the picture. Okorocha needs to complete this road.

berem, I cannot sell my town for a plate of porridge.
This pit below was dug near St Joseph Catholic Church at the centre of Orlu by Okorocha govt to collect flood. The pit remains, but flood problems have worsened since the pit was dug.
Let me break it down to some people in A,B,C form: what is required is a duct or gutter to channel those floods to a nearby Ogidi valley less than 1 km from where the floods collect - not this pit.

Abagworo, I think understands what I mean here.

Late Gov. Ikwechegh started the drainage system. And without the drainage system completed, a short time from now, more of the roads in Orlu on display here now shall be washed away.

Where exactly is St Joseph. There was actually no flooding in Orlu the day I took the pictures but I have read on internet about flood problems of Orlu just like I also read of Owerri, Enugu, onitsha Aba and Uyo.

tabletman1:
Never wanted to comment on this thread.

But with this mr man, you lied and accuse someone else of lying.

That st. Joseph normally get flooded whenever it rains, not just a serious rain but 2mins rain. Abagowro actually knows this that's why he mistook st joseph for st augustine, why don't u snap the double two storey buildings behind st joseph? People in that compound have packed out due to flooding.
Farmlands and some houses normally get flooded at orlu especially around that st Joseph.


You people will still go there in dry season and get me pictures of those building when the occupants must have pack in to call me a liar.

To dig gutter or duct for Orlu central drainage system, let govt deploy a few policemen to ward off any intruders. In less than one month, the digging can be completed by two tractors. Udenwa had to use police to move traders from the old market to the new imternational market. If this Orlu central drainage system started by former governor Ikwechegh is not completed, most of these roads in Orlu being exhibited here shall wear away shortly. Water is greatest enemy to asphalt.

abagoro:
There is no living soul that was last in Imo State 2012 that will visit and deny the unbelievable improvement. While Orlu is moving to be like other State capitals Owerri is departing from the looks of typical Nigerian city.

The Orlu/Owerri federal highway is nearing complete dualization at a record low cost. When this is completed, the symbiotic effects will be to the advantage of Orlu town, Umuaka, Orodo, Nwaorieubi, Nkume, Amucha, Ubomiri etc as they will all be a continuum of Owerri-Orlu urban cluster.

millionaireman:
To be frank, too many in Orlu are complaining. Okorocha has road development as his development programme in Orlu. But lots of the Orlu urban roads started by Okorocha govt about two and half years ago are not completed, and they create difficulties in getting from point A to B. The roads built by previous govts also rot away - no repairs. In Owerri, those old roads get repaired. As for the absence of drainage system in Orlu, no more politics. Issue is that flood water from Stadium area, international market and IMSUTH areas collect at the area of St. Joseph Church/School. It is worse now. Only solution is to dig a duct or gutter less than 800m to channel the floods to a nearby valley. Playing politics with excuse of universal flooding is not it.

centje:
I am a bit confused here...why are people complaining bitterly about orlu

Abagworo:
I'm actually kind of tired seeing only Owerri and Orlu. Are people not living in Mbaise, Mbano, Obowo, Okigwe, Egbema etc?

I will have to try and cover Mbaise and Ngor-Okpala soon. Okigwe pictures will be highly appreciated.

asha80:
did you see construction workers along the way?
