dayokanu: So the Governors went to meet IBB whom Retardeen called his father?

Its a bitter pill i understand but he GOODLUCK EBELE AZIKIWE JONATHAN will be you President till 2019 if your views are in contrast meet #TeamFreshAir# at the court... Shikena.

chino11: TUFIAKWA !

Common before I slap the hell out you..will you remove Anambra from your miserable calculations.

Anambra as the beacon of Igbo race will always maintain the lead and be governed by APGA. You guys in your imo state can be sold out to APC or whatever we don't care if you people perish is not our business. You people have the clownish and clueless okorosha to blame for your woes. It has since been confirmed that okorosha is fathered by one almajiri from Taraba state. He is not even Igbo in the first place and you people were deceived and he became your governor.

Erratic and shallow minded fools..

I have told u severally on this forum to remove your imbecilic erratic eyes from the entity call Imo state. It would have been more profitable to face your erosion ravaged state and make some thing out from it. I can recall with nosalgia i led the team that came to raise funds for your brain transplant in india but you refused the olive branch to rescue you, now its becoming worse cos i can see your brain has finally divorced your head. Kindly send me the estimate let me use my influence on nairaland to see if we can raise money for this rhino brain transpant i proposed for you.

Back to the topic, Rochas in my own view just shoot himself on the foot by joining APC with his 400kg wife. He has obviously orphaned himself politically.

The achievements of this son of the old religion will not be complete without mentioning the massive patching of urban roads in the state with cement. I will commend him for totally abandoning nerve roads in aba the hub of commerce and symbol of struggle of the Igbo man. I will equally congratulate his wisdom in banning all commercial buses coming from imo state from entering abia and equally setting up a task force to clamp down on defaulters. I personally will congratulate Ochendo for sacking civil servants from other SE states and removing the names of the pensioners of other SE states from the payroll.

OCHENDO FOR PRESIDENT 2015.

It can equally be used as an igbo translation for mister. When i was on holiday in the uk a chinese approached me and was like 'mazi how are you doing' and as a nigerian with the right onions i responded in my locals.

sexymoma: DOES IT LEADS TO HEAVEN.

Your spoken English can even lead a man to hell

I give Obi credit for the steps taken so far in issues concerning security. I must urge other governors to learn from Obi in incorporating local content in all government procurements in a way that will domesticate government funds and reduce capital flight. In particular reference to the action of Rochas going to India to import uniforms and school furnitures from india, he should quickly drive to Awka to get lessons on how to make prudent use of government money in a way that empowers his people instead of the gimmick freebies spree.

Jonathan fulfilling promises dullards crying foul. I have not seen any government in the history of nigera that has mustered courage to carry out jobs like you have with GEJ's govt.

1. North west will take delivery of zungeru power plant and abuja-kaduna rail project,

2. North central loko-oweto bridge across river benue,abuja lokoja road dualization, suleja-minna road dualization, construction of 13 districts in the F.C.T, Geregu power plant and the lokoja-benin road dualization.

3. North-central will enjoy the manbila power plant, kano-maiduguri dualization and wiping out of the dreaded boko haram.

4. South west will take delivery of the lagos-Ibadan expansion into 10 lanes, Lagos-Ibadan monorail and the Ibadan-Ilorin dualization.

5. South-south will enjoy the east-west road, the 6 power plants, niger-delta railway project and the coastal roads valued at 1.8 trillion naira.

6. The south-east will have the second niger bridge, reconstruction of the onitsha-enugu road into a six-lane road, the reconstruction of of enugu-portharcourt road and the 3 power plants in imo, abia and enugu.

In addition other projects like the sagamu-ore-benin road, the $1b GE investment in calabar, the skill acquisation centres in the nine oil states worth 9b naira each, the new refinery at ondo by dangote and a whole lot of them...

GEJ is working...
Team fresh air #2015#

Emmadani: am not sure about eket,but d govt wil build ibaka industrial city.I expect eket should also av its own.

I heard of it, but from what heard of the Ibaka industrial city is conceptionalize for mixed use i.e. business,leisure and industrial use. Eket city i was trying to explain will take care of hospitality and tourism, residential and entertainment. More improtantly, I hear say eket chics get A1 for nakiology so that will feed their hospitality needs as you know hospitality in any part of the world thrives in places with robust postitution network.

Olaolufred: LIKE KANU'S ONE MILLION MARCH ORGANIZED TO DRUM SUPPORT FOR ABACHA.
THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO ENDORSE.
BUT, *BELLE RETAR**** JONA SHOULD NOT BRING THIS ENDORSED LETTERS TO CLAIM NIGERIANS WANT HIM IN 2015.
WE BELIEVE DEMOCRACY, NOT ENDORSEMENT.
OR ELSE JONAH WILL BE "JANGISTICALLY JANGED".

Na you sabi wetin you dey talk my dog sef don endorse GEJ... If Nigeria don tire you cameroun is not far.

I pray Rotimi delivers all ongoing projects before the expiration of his tenure. Such projects as new 100,000 capacity university, the monorail project, the greater port harcourt ringroad with 2 cable-stay bridges, the m1 highway comprising 10 lanes, the 15 floors hospital, the model schools, the unity roads and a whole lot of them should be funded to completion to add to the glory of the niger-delta.

Akwa Ibom is truly building for the future. A 15 floors five star hotel and entertainment centre, dualization of almost all the major roads in the state, world class stadium by jb under construction, an e-library, an airport and now a deep sea port.

I expect him to develop a new city befitting of the oil city of eket to accomodate net worth individuals comparable to istabul open for private sector investment comparable to lekki city. He should equally build a brand new university that can rival any around the world in term of infrastructure and learning.

...Akwa Ibom ayaya ooo.
The emrging dreamland.

My luv!:
Have you read the ANIDS blueprint? If you have and merely deduced this out of the whole lot, then you need an adult to put you through it.

In your thoughts you've made a punch line.

obayaya: ever heard of the Onitsha business park? the Niger is being dredged.. things have to go one after the other my friend. Peter has done his part. and I dare to say he did well. the next person should continue.

talking about blueprint, have you heard of anambra integrated development strategy (ANIDS) if you haven't, try and read the full document.. it's a very nice blueprint.

Why not listen when elders are on the podium. I hope the ANIDS blueprint you mean is not the one that approved the massive distribution of ambulances on one hand and cheques to missionary hospitals for the construction of morgues on the other hand... The one you mean is a political blueprint.

I feel some nostalgia hearing that the lady governor is retiring from active politics after his tenure ends in 2014. He tried his best and we the good people of Igboland appreciate and respect his decision. I will pray fervently that the next governor assembles a crack team of the egg heads in anambra to produce a blueprint that will lead anambra to where she ought to be found. I look forward to seeing the onitsha boulevard project that will accommodate the best business clusters in africa, The Louis Ojukwu Int'l Airport in Oba project, onitsha/asaba mega city project consummated, the refinery and petrochemical plant in aguleri completed and the business moguls of anambra origin to return home with a plethora of investments in all sectors of the economy of the state...

God bless Omanbala
God bless Imo
God bless Enugwu
God bless Abia
God bless Ebonyi
God bless Nigeria.

EASTSIDAZ: Thought you are reasonal, you are actually not different from pauperized imo people I see everyday begging for food. Lol

Its only you that is praising that clueless called okorosha. The guy is presently running imo state into pit toilet. Imo state is the only SE state that does not have other igbos resident in it, but come to Onitsha your people have taken greater part of it, same thing is happening in Enugu and Abia. But nobody goes to imo state to do anything except to pass there to fvck una unmarriageable girls which is the only export out of yor forsaken state.

Imo state is heavily indebted with huge loans which your clownish gov is using to service tinubu and his hausa masters.

Okorosha is a bully who has continued to owe contractors, all the roads are abandoned. Since that clown became gov he has not completed any project. Rather he is busy strugling for seat with Obi's aide. Your okorosha should go to Anambra and understudy Obi on what governance is about. 1/3 of imo population have invaded Onitsha for their economic survival while their gov is busy dancing azonto with criminals as tinubu.

I saw an old witch with your picture waving it to satisfaction that she succeeded. I prayed immediately that God looses her grip of you cos she kept calling your name while hitting her sagged bossom.

Loose from your grip you spirit of confusion holding chino.
** P R A Y I N G **

chino11:

Did it hurt you that much abagworo?? You are the one that really needs kidney and liver transplant. Your brain should be removed and replaced with that of a goat. All the blood in your system needs to be changed with that of a donkey for you to know that okorosha is a rogue that has come to sale imo state to tinubu and hausa masters.

Anambra has come tops in education in the last 20years. The Common Entrance placed Anambra on the highest score benchmark due to high level of excellence in education in the state. The last I checked Imo state under okorosha has ran into the ground the entire state. He has borrowed money from different banks more than any SE state with nothing on the ground. Maybe because okorosha is a media governor that make you to believe he is working. Okorosha can give free education, construct a high rise property on the pages of newspaper.

In making arguements, i expect you to be creative in convincing me cos you are becoming boring by the day. Your likes make me believe we still have educated illiterates ie if you are a standard six holder. It is only in anambra that you hear the voice of an old woman and in shock see a mature man to the full glare of tv viewers as the governor. Most remarkably you always see him distributing ambulances as dividends of democracy, the best may be the distribution of cheques for missionary hospitals to build morgues. Its okay i'm happy for you, atleast you can now buy your cabin biscuit in shoppite.

Btw I AM NOT ABAGWORO... Be guided.

chino11: Even the Orji you are mocking everyday is far far better regarded as a humanbeing in the SE than your okorosha who has mortgaged the future of poor imo state and its poor citizens into the hands of tinubo and his hausa masters.

Okorosha has borrowed loans from different banks amounting to over 70B with nothing on the ground to show for it. Rather he has abandoned all the deceptive projects for over two years now.

Okorosha should come to Anambra and learn from Obi what development is about. The last I checked Imo citizens disappears immediately he or she leaves school in your imo state without looking back for economic survival elsewhere. At the last count 1/3 of imo state citizens are living and earning their living in the city of Onitsha. There are some neighborhoods in Osha that has been turned into an extention of imo state due to there huge population in the city. Am yet to see a single Anambra living in the entire Imo state.

I strongly believe your situation is deserving of a brain transplant preferably, that of a rhino if it is possible in human medicine. Please make inquiries so that we the good people of nairaland, can raise money to enable you follow ojb to india for this redeemption exercise. I will chair the committee that will raise funds, considering the extent of the damage of your medular. In your widest imagination you believe Obi is performing better than Rochas. Can you compare side by side a free education policy in place for the most literate population in the entire country, with the illiteracy dotting the streets of anambra under the leadership of Mrs. Obi... Your guess is as good as mine.

Nonybb: Look at Peter Obi posing as if he is working. Wat a deception! Pls my fellow anambrarian tell me wat this man had done in anambra state. He said he is building Onitsha? Which Onitsha? Pls do we have two Onitsha in Nigeria?

I see you as the true anambra son. How come Peter Obi suddenly started an 8 floors hotel, an ICC, a shopping mall and road construction in onisha at the 11th hour of his wasted 8 years. Self deceit is worst than suicide. I will urge the next governor of anambra to come with ideas in the clon of Prof. Soludos' to move to enugu and akwa ibom for lessons on development. We progressive Igbos expect the next governor of anambra to develop the greater anambra that will transform the state to a one city state, dualize all the entries into awka and nnewi and collaborate with networth citizens of anambra for a robust investment drive.

I will strongly advise the federal government to try and deliver this project in record time to encourage other investors to engage government in other ppp infrastructure developments. Ultimately, it will accelerate development and send a positive signal to investors to see nigeria as viable investment corridor.

Akshow: #yawns# Abuja Lokoja express road wey de under their nose them no fit complete am for decades, na second niger bridge remain. lets hope them finish this one sha

The abuja-lokoja road you mentioned is executed by dantata, rcc, gitto and bulletine not jb.

Hate? Go back from the beginning of your comments here: You created hate from your first evidently ignorant comment and others. You did that through your apparent belief that anything Imo state owns must be in your Owerri land alone - other cities must be strange in Imo state, and must be stopped from emerging. If YOU HAVE EVER TRAVELED OUTSIDE OWERRI to other lands outside Imo state, you must discover that rapid development in a state is not meant for the state capital alone. But you -like many of your Owerri folk - STRONGLY BELIEVE that all there is for development in a state must be the state capital alone. Go to neighboring Anambra state, for example, government development-inducing projects are scattered all over Nnewi, 'Osha, Awka, even the smaller towns benefit. But in Imo state, it is the state capital alone, people like you love that.

Does one need to repeat that since 1976, Owerri's development has been mainly from government handouts as well as from money brought into it from the myriad number of students in it?

I give up!!! Infact Orlu is the best thing that happened to Imo state and nigeria as a whole. I will work with every orlu indigene to see that IMSU and atleast one of the federal institutions is relocated to Orlu the heartbeat of the Igbo struggle. I will even encourage the federal government to dualize the orlu-owerri, orlu-oru and the orlu-okigwe road to allow it assume its rightful place as the true state capital of Imo state. I urge God to please relocate the crude oil in oguta, ngor okpala and ohaji to orlu soil to consummate the orlu mega city masterplan... Shekina.

norabenok :
What development has the private sector brought to Owerri?

Development in owerri is mainly dependent on monthly federal allocation and income generated by Imo state government, which are in turn used to pay the tens of thousands of federal and state civil servants in the state, more than 95% of them live in Owerri.

Owerri also thrives on cash brought to the city by the unusual large population of students in it.

These govt and student-generated funds do not reach other areas in Imo state, including the Mbaises, the Ngors, Oguta, Okigwe, Obowo, Mbano, Orlu, Ideator, etc. Would you want people from these areas to continue in underdevelopment because they have a place like Owerri as their state capital?

Orlu - a wild parasite? In what sense? Take note: the percentage from derivation paid to Imo state Govt. from Oil and Gas revenues is derived from the Orus, Ohaji-Egbema, Oguta, etc from Orlu zone; and those revenues had in the last 36 years been deployed nearly 98% in spreading educational institutions and the good tidings they carry only in Owerri zone, as well as trying to make Owerri a mega city overnight; while those communities remain rural areas, some areas even pristine.

If wishes were horses, you could have gone to Abuja to fasten the creation of Njaba state.

I understand you are an unrepentant indigene of orlu judging from the arguements you present that contain words of hate. Can you ask why aba for abia, onitsha for anambra, warri for delta, suleja for niger and auchi for edo has been able to sustain themselves without waiting for the feeding bottle federalism orlu enjoys from Imo funds. Please read more books and expand your narrow and shallow reasoning cap.

norabenok :
In 1976 when Imo state was created, there was no big difference in level of urbanization btw. Owerri, Okigwe and Orlu. Today Owerri has given Okigwe and Orlu hundreds of miles development gap.
Every project that can induce rapid urbanization in Imo state is in Owerri.

You are truly worried over any project established by Imo state government in Orlu. If the market and hospital built in Orlu cost Imo state government 2 Naira for example, successive Imo state governments must have put in 2x2x2x2x2x2x2Billion Naira.. into development projects in Owerri. Owerri is the state capital but its jet speed development rate by government (old Owerri, New Owerri) is at the cost of development in other areas of the state.

It is not true that this government has completed a six lane motor way in Orlu. Ohakim nearly closed the teaching hospital. The 500 housing units in Okporo are not yet fully occupied because people like you corner any project that can bring the right population of people that can occupy them to come to live in Orlu. You hijack universities, polytechnics, fed and state government parastatals, and keep them in every street junction in the state capital. If Okporo is a thick forest for you, Nekede, Ihiagwa, Egbu, Amakohia - all sprawling suburbs of Owerri today were once thick forests.
You brand Orlu an unproductive town, does Owerri produce any thing?

Can you point to any reasonable structure at Oguta Tourist Resort before Okorocha came on board?
You ought to know this: Orlu and Okigwe need to be brought, at least half way, to the development level of Owerri. It is for the good of Imo state. For now, very little has been done in that direction.

if you have visited cities around nigeria and parts of the world you will discover that real development is anchored by the private sector not necessarily for successive governments to sink billions into projects that are of no economic value. I feel bad each time orlu screams for projects because the dont account for much economic activities across the state. If you are in doubt you find time and tour the state. I have done that myself and in my conclusion, orlu is a wild parasite we cant wait to give out to support Njaba State.

I get shocked each time people argue blindly about issues concerning road construction. I have said it on this forum severally that the governments in ogun and oyo made a huge mistake by constructing low quality flyovers. Where has our quality control mind gone If you are in doubt please ask a highway engineer. Take a trip to calabar and discover how roundabouts scattered all over the city is effectively controlling traffic and adding to the beauty of the town at affordable prices. Recently owerri the Imo state capital is enjoying the same intervention. If you want to be counted as a good citizen why not tell your governor to consult road experts and not political engineers.

uncleken: Orlu deserve the best because it is most populated zone in Imo State.

Be informed that according to the 2006 census considered to be the most recent, mbaise alone is more than the entire orlu zone. Street urchins like you have decided not to make inquiries before mouthing thrash.

berem: All the tertiary institutions in owerri both state and federal are located in Owerri senatorial zone.what is wrong in having the marine institution in Orlu? Oguta is the best place to have such institution because of the lake. Relocating IMSU too is not a bad idea because the school is congested as of the year i graduated from there. I don't know if the former Secretariat is part of the institution now . Owerri can't have everything leaving Orlu and Okigwe out of the limelight.

if you are rational you should ask yourself one fundamental question... Has orlu as a place benefited from present and past governments or not
During Udenwa's regime he spirited away the state teaching hospital to orlu, constructed a world class 2500 shop capacity market, built a wasted housing scheme containing 500 units of 2 and 3 bungalow in a thick forest in orlu, built a stadium that hosted not even a single state event and constructed many roads. Ohakim started a wonderlake resort considered to place Orlu on the tourism map of the world and built some structures in the teaching hospital. Rochas broke the construction jinx by building a six lane super intra city road crossing all parts of the unproductive town and as we speak its ready for use. In addition the biggest citygate in africa is attached to the road to enhance estatics and security. In addition to that, another stadium, a conference centre, a shopping mall, a governor's lodge, street roads and a host of other projects are up and running in orlu. I will ask one question do we relocate the state capital to orlu because orlu is maginalised
... Una no well.

What an unusual way of ushering in a brand new love peddler.

The should bring sure gesture to play in the construction of the enugu-portharcourt expressway that is very strategic in the industralization of the old eastern block.

Rogues turned saints clamouring for change... I believe now is the right time for the ruling party to celebrate having succeeded in helping to merge a group of serial killers. Notably the greed of tinubu,rascality of aregbesola,fanatism of buhari and the confusionist tendency of rochas makes the village meeting dead on arrival.
