You are funny, let the population of Owerri residents not deceive you. Orlu local government has more population than the three Mbaise LGAs. Let not the last election deceive you my brother. Go through the voters register and take a look. Mbaise was eager to produce the governor and they all came out. Those LGAs you called were probably not passionate about the last election. Why not say Ideato rather than calling Isu. Foreigners stay in Owerri and even Imolites from Orlu zone reside in Owerri. The schools there also is a factor for the huge population. So don't say it belongs to Owerri zone. I repeat, no zone alone can defeat Orlu zone. But I believe in rotation of power to enhance development, but not to be given to criminals in the name of zoning. Just look at how Ohakim wasted the chance to develop Okigwe.

Orlu urban lga is the most (indigenes) populated lga east of Nigeria. Take this to the bank.

Orlu lga is also one of the three largest lgas by land mass in Imo state.

In the last fair guber election of 2011, Orlu urban lga produced close to 50,000 votes.

The two Owerri lgas that mostly make up Owerri capital territory produced about 30, 000 votes.

No other lga came close to Orlu's number of votes.

Okorocha got the highest number of votes from Orlu urban lga, but denied Orlu what it deserves..

Okorocha's deliberate denial of Orlu what it deserves is now his greatest headache for his succession plans.

Any Imo governor who neglects Orlu urban lga is like a presidential candidate who neglects Kano and Lagos.

Stubborn pigs, DSS should make scapepigs of these ones!

Come drink crude oil.
That's the only One Nigeria attraction to you.

Even the crude oil money has not solved much of your problems,as loads of the money now go to pay ransome for captives of Boko Haram.

If he's such a hero how come most of us have never heard of him? Don't get me wrong, my point is, we should learn to celebrate our heroes when they are still alive (which actually benefits them more) than when they are dead, which is of no use to them.

Nigeria's war heroes are people who carried out summary executions of unarmed Biafra civilians, and those who plotted use of starvation to kill millions of infants in what they said was a civil war.


Those murderers are your heroes past, whose labours they tell you in the national anthem, shall never be allowed to be in vain.

And you sing, without even knowing what you are singing.

Orlu People Pls Provide A Place 4 Ramaphoza's Statue. Seems There's No More Space In Owerri. Roach-Ass Take Note

Present govt of Imo state does not believe that any government thing can be outside the state capital.
So don't call on Orlu people.

Wow. Lagos is a multi ethnic city; does not belong to Yoruba alone. How can a state governor defy Nigeria's constitution to implement this sort of Law?

CzarChris:
Abeg, tell me which business is "booming" in Owerri? Look I am a complete Owerri boy born and raised from nursery school up till I graduated from FUTO over 10 years ago. The only thing "booming" there is schools, hotels, fast foods and joints. Tell me which other business is booming in Owerri? Remove those higher institutions around Owerri and believe me the price of properties will crash and believe me, a radical government is coming to do just that one day. Wetin dey Owerri? Please I'm begging you, stop deceiving people who are not from Owerri that this is like that tell them as it is.

Best thing to happen to Imo state is emergence of a radical and brilliant governor to redistribute tertiary education institutions from Owerri to Orlu and Okigwe zones that have nothing.

None of the other 35 states of Nigeria has all five tertiary education institutions in the state all in the state capital area.

Futo, Alvan, Poly Nekede were all in Owerri when Owerri-born former governor of Imo state, Evan Enwerem defied all opposition and still located IMSU in Owerri despite the existence of better facilities in Orlu then.

Abogwara:
Nowhere in Southeast is half as good as Owerri presently so you made a wrong choice. The price of every investment has trippled and businesses booming like never before.

But is Okorocha supporting his son-in-law Nwosu, to succeed him and continue with Okorocha's policy of Owerri to become Dubai of Africa before common drainage systems, urban roads, pipe borne water, and other modern amenities are provided for other towns in Imo state, especially, Orlu and Okigwe?

Former governor Ikwechegh awarded jobs for asphalting of Orlu urban roads and drainage system.

The job stopped abruptly immediately after Ikwechegh left, the urban roads and drainage system remain undone till today.

Okorocha reclassified Orlu as a rural area.

Abogwara:
New estate springs up at Ellen Johnson Sirleaf road.

Is it sinful for gov Okorocha if his government builds even one new road layout for new estates to develop in Orlu, the second most populated city of Imo state?


These numerous road layouts of Okorocha in Owerri even where no body lives, methinks he could have opened up his Ogboko by building one road layout to join hinterland, interior Ogboko to Orlu.

Why does he stab his Ogboko community at the back because of his apparent dislike for Orlu and its people?

I don't support zoning. Uche Nwosu is qualified like any citizen of Imo state, to contest.

Owerri knows that Gov. Okorocha grossly flouted the constitution as he concentrated more than 96% of his development projects in Owerri zone, while rest of Imo state decayed in the last seven years.

So? What are you saying?

Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has alleged that there may be a plot to kill Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom.

Fani-Kayode, however, warned that nothing must happen to Ortom, or else there will be war.

Writing via his official Twitter page, he stated that “this matter has now gone beyond Benue” and “millions from all over the country are with him”.

Fani-Kayode tweeted:

War between who and who?


Benue and Yoruba groups should have gone for the ideal solution to the quagmire in Nigeria.


The ideal solution is split Nigeria into more manageable countries.

But the Tivs and Yoruba still stick to one Nigeria only for the sake of crude oil in the Niger Delta.

All candidates seeking admission into all tertiary institutions in Lagos State must henceforth possess credit in Yoruba Language, the state Yoruba Language Preservation and Preservation Law has said.

The law, which became effective last Thursday, would now make compulsory for all primary and secondary schools – private or public – in the state to include teaching of Yoruba Language as a core subject at all levels.

The state Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, had formally signed a bill into law “to provide for the preservation and promotion of the use of Yoruba Language and for connected purposes,” thereby making it the first state to enact law seeking to preserve and promote its indigenous language.

He signed the law alongside the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Adeniji Kazeem, Commissioner for Energy and Mineral Resources, Mr. Olawale Oluwo, his Information and Strategy counterpart, Mr. Kehinde Bamigbetan and the Commissioner for Finance, Mr. Akinyemi Ashade, among others.

He equally signed six other bills into laws: the Amended Land Use Charge bill, School of Nursing bill, Cooperative College bill, Cancer Research Institute bill, Amended Customary Court bill and the State Electric Power Reform Law on the same day.

However, the Yoruba Language Preservation and Promotion law provides that all the laws in the state “will be translated into Yoruba Language. Moreso, all state-owned tertiary institutions are to incorporate the use of Yoruba Language in the General Studies (GNS) courses.

“The use of Yoruba language shall be an acceptable means of communication between individuals, establishment, corporate entities and government in the state if so desired by the concerned. It shall not be an offence for a person to speak Yoruba language by the state government,” the law reads in part.

Specifically, the law stated that any school in Lagos State that “fails to comply with the provisions of Section 2 commits an offence and is liable on first violation to issuance of warning and on subsequent violation be closed down and also pay a fine of N500,000.”

After the governor approved the legislation, Bamigbetan explained the socio-cultural value of the Yoruba Language Preservation and Promotion Law, 2018, which according to him, is the first of its kind in Nigeria.

With the new law, Bamigbetan said Yoruba language “has become mandatory for all candidates seeking admission into our tertiary institutions. Yoruba will now become a major requirement to engage in normal business communication in Lagos State.

“This is a clear and conscious commitment to the position which Lagos State prides Yoruba language as the cultural vehicle for us to be able to articulate our position and it also shows that Lagos has further recognised the importance of language as a vehicle for development.”

He said anyone seeking admission into the Lagos State University, Lagos State Polytechnic, Michael Otedola College of Primary Education, Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education, Lagos State School of Nursing and Lagos State College of Health Technology, among others must have credit in Yoruba language.

https://www.today.ng/news/nigeria/76940/yoruba-mandatory-admission-tertiary-institutions-lagos-state-govt?

What part of the constitution supports this Ambode law on compulsory Yoruba language?


Lawyers must move into action to quash this piece of ethnic bigotry.

Lagos is a cosmopolitan City not Yoruba City.

All politicians across the country must be cowed, silenced to let President Buhari win re-election. That's what EFCC is after

Anti-corruption fight by one of Nigeria's most corrupt political leader;
President Buhari's Nepotism of filling important positions with his barely qualified kinsmen is worst firm of corruption.

Every market day in Imo state, police are first to mount road blocks in every road, including track roads, to the market as they squeeze already very poor market men and women for money.

If the policeman ran away, the crowd must face his family. Enough is enough. In Imo state, these policemen intimidate and rob road users daily with impunity.

Not only state police, there must return True and Fiscal federalism, if nit, Nigeria is doomed.

But Op, are you sure it's Buhari who authorized the speech asking for state and community police? Doubts. Fulani depends on the south to survive. State police amounts to gradually abandoning the stupid over centralized Abuja govt that makes only the politicians steal the country's resources at will.

KingNom:
Who has noticed that it will be easy for the North to rig 2019 elections in favor of Buhari or his 'Protege'?

The Security Chiefs are MOSTLY Northerners, hence with the influence, they can win again!

Something SHOULD URGENTLY be done to correct the Federal Character Principle in Public Office Appointment (especially Security Chiefs) or else... (Remember Benue!)

Kindly reshare TILL it is fixed

Rigging Buhari in is a done deal for 2019 given the northernized Nigeria in place now.

Southerners must not remain so apolitical.


Southerners must insist on restructuring the skewed political structure before any further elections.

Southerners must insist Diaspora Nigerians must vote in presidential and guber elections.

If not, Buhari must be rigged in for second term.

ROGERS AND Co. FIGHTING A LOST BATTLE.

BOKO HARAM IS LIKE THE TALIBAN AND OTHER ISLAMIC JIHAD ORGANISATIONS - THEY FIGHT FOR A COUNTRY TO BE RULED WITH ISLAMIC SHARIA CRIMINAL CODES.



Hardly had the American-led allied forces left Afghanistan when the Taliban reconquered nearly all of Afghanistan.


MORE THAN HALF OF MUSLIM CORE-NORTH OF NIGERIA, INCLUDING PRESIDENT BUHARI, WANT A COUNTRY TO BE GOVERNED WITH ISLAMIC SHARIA CRIMINAL LAWS.

A country of inequality cannot stand.
Military dictators from northern region of Nigeria progressively restructured Nigeria through proliferation of too many states in northern region.
North draws undue political over-representation from the twenty stares and dictate to all of Nigeria.

borntoexcel2000:
The State Security Service has invited Kassim Afegbua, the spokesperson of Ibrahim Babangida, to appear before it, PREMIUM TIMES has learnt.

The invitation came via a telephone call from the secret police and it asked Mr. Afegbua to be at its headquarters no later than 11 a.m. Thursday, both Mr. Afegbua and his lawyer, Kayode Ajulo, told PREMIUM TIMES Wednesday night.

The invitation comes hours after Mr. Afegbua turned himself in at the Force Headquarters in Abuja after the police declared him wanted for writing a disputed statement on behalf of Mr. Babangida, who led a military junta that ruled Nigeria from 1985 to 1993.

Mr. Afegbua signed the statement for Mr. Babangida on Sunday, in which the former military ruler expressed his misgivings about President Muhammadu Buhari and called for a younger leader to emerge in 2019.

“We will honour the (SSS) invitation by tomorrow morning,” Mr. Ajulo told PREMIUM TIMES by telephone Wednesday night. “We will be there, if that is how they want to run this country, we’ll see how far they can go with this.”

Mr. Afegbua’s ordeal in the hands of federal authorities had been strongly condemned by civic organisations, including Femi Falana, a human rights lawyer, who warned the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, to immediately back off the matter because it infringes on Mr. Afegbua’s rights.

The authorities have not been able to answer questions of whether Mr. Babangida filed any complaint against Mr. Afegbua, or what parts of the statement Mr. Afegbua signed were capable of inciting the public as the police alleged.

Mr. Afegbua said Mr. Babangida remained solidly behind him and that the former leader had been making efforts to ensure that no injuries would be inflicted on him by federal authorities.

Intimidation, always Buhari's style.


Anyhow, blame those Nigerians that voted a Buhari who declared in the open before Muslim faithfuls in 2001 that he wouldn't stop until Islamic Sharia Criminal codes are employed all over Nigeria.

ISIS, Taliban, Boko Haram, El-Shabab and others alike, are fighting for countries to be governed with Islamic Sharia Criminal Codes.

Let us put things straight

1 His face is the most recognizable among the present 36 Governors in Nigeria

2 His Rochas foundation is the biggest single free education sponsor in Africa

3 His Foundation College of Africa is the pioneer pan-African unity school. Till this moment it is the only school that has students from every African country.

4 Owerri his State capital is Unarguably by far the most transformed city in the last 2 years.

5 He makes more headlines than every Governor

6 He is the only Governor in history to offer free education from primary to University.

The list goes on and on but in a nutshell this news tells the true story.

A state governor that digs in to transform only his state capital but abandons other areas of his stare remains a loser everywhere -

Rochas doesn't even know why he is loathed everywhere, except by you sycophants who never told the man any truth.

Adannaify:
A Liar spotted. Okorocha is doing well. Encourage the man ,so he can do better. All these your criticism is getting to look more personal. Na wao. Abi you no get eyes again? The pictures on this thread about improvements under okorocha's govt are many. Commend him for the plenty he has done, then you can ask for plenty more

You didn't dispute any of the four truths that I raised.

Dualizing Four urban roads totalling about 4.5 kilometers and a two blocks School of Hygiene, are the only development projects of Okorocha govt in Orlu urban area in seven years.

Orlu Urban is nearly as large as Owerri Municipal local government area. Difference is that Owerri urban roads are paved with urban drainage system.

The massive votes from Orlu lga made Okorocha qualify for Supplementary ballot in 2015.

Abogwara:
Ongoing works at new Okigwe Township Stadium.

By the way, why did Okorocha govt abandon work on the Orlu Stadium which it started before Okigwe stadium?

Prince Hotel Orlu never took off above foundation laid by former Imha speaker.

People in Orlu continue to inhale dust and move in mud from abandoned road works of Okorocha govt.


Rocha's Okorocha VS Orlu Main. He is fighting nastier, and compromising the future development of entire Ideato nation.

Abogwara:
Ongoing clearing of shanties and clean up of drainages in Orlu metropolis.

Mr Avagwori,


To stop debris blocking the Orlu gutter, tell Rochas to complete the Orlu City drainage gutter started by former Imo gov. Ikwechegh from Saint Joseph Church area in Umuna Orlu lga, to the Ogidi Valley - about 800 meters.

If the drainage of Orlu urban is not completed, these gutters shall still be blocked after about one week.

Bunkum. It should be Babangida to seek for redress if Afebua issued a false statement on behalf of Babangida.

These nomads in charge of Nigeria are abusing due processes - left, right and centre.

IPOB tribe is the largest or second largest, and most educated tribe in Nigeria.

Nigeria can NEVER work well until the IPOB tribe takes over control of Nigeria, or IPOB tribe gets independence from Nigeria.
