FreeIgbos:
Why would government give out land for free, in a CBD for that matter? It doesn't work that way, any investor worth its salt that wants to operate in a CBD should be able to buy the land and develop accordingly.

Bank/Okigwe road and Wetheral road is already CBD of Owerri. It is left for government to make laws through the House of Assembly that any building to be erected in that axis wouldn't be less than 6 floors. It should also be marked as a strictly non residential area, particularly Bank/Okigwe road. Already, there are up to 4 buildings along there that are up to 7 floors or more. But more are needed to really make it a befitting CBD for Owerri. How I wish that old and dilapidated building at Warehouse, opposite Iheanacho's house would eventually be demolished and a high rise building erected there.

Also, Hope Uzodinma needs to complete that multi level car park opposite Garden Park so it be put to use.

What is holding the car park?

If progress bank building is completed, with the new high rise building opp prison is completed a miniature CBD is born. But Ikm to 2km standard road with street lights and interlocked internal roads is not that hard to achieve nwanne if we are serious about developing our city.

what is progress bank building ? Is it there headquarters? Is it high rise?

FreeIgbos:
Oh I see, you're aiming for it in a grand way. Well, I agree with you on that, at least with our stolen oil wells now returned to us, there may be enough funds at the disposal of state government and also a significantly increased GDP to make it a reality. However, in the meantime, Bank road can be used for now because the sort of project you're talking about will take several years.

Just adding only 3 or 4 more hige rises along Bank/Okigwe road will make all the difference. Who says the state government can't even erect one iconic building of say 15 floors and commercialize it just like Akwa Ibom is doing. We really need to develop a standard city in Igboland that can match Abuja and Lagos in sophistication.

God bless you bro , please can you share any other development threads about Imo state and South East at large to me? Please

sanctity454:
I pray the authorities listen, because owerri city already has a good number of high-rise building projects but scattered across the city, so an area meant for them is very much achievable and realistic.

Yes ooo, just one or two roads is enough for now

Yoruba man na Yoruba man

NigeriaNawa:
What is this illiterate yapping about ?

I tire bro

DoggoneDogg:
This is the difference between Kanu & fugitive Igboho.

Igboho the terrorist's stark illiteracy is counting against him. He will be shot dead on sight!

if not for some Yoruba Obas and Ooni of Ife, Igboho would have been k*lled ages ago by Fulani herdsmen not even security agencies

FreeIgbos:
I drive through warehouse daily and people obey the traffic light there. However, what I observed is that some drivers, particularly those that drive busimo will still move ahead when the light is already showing amber before it goes red.

Again, I observe that pedestrians haven't started using the zebra crossing yet (maybe because the work is not completed yet) and it puts them at risk while trying to cross the wide road recklessly.

Lastly, if drivers or pedestrians fail to comply 100% to the use of traffic lights or zebra crossing, then you will have to blame the system and not the players. Sensitize pedestrians on the need to use zebra crossing (you may be surprised that many people don't even understand its use) and equally impound any vehicle that don't strictly obey the light.

Exactly ,strict laws needs to be put in place ,

sanctity454:
Bank road, warehouse junction

Ok oi

sanctity454:
Yes, but technical college is important, imo state has a proposed ImoFTZ at Ngor okpala, since Udenwa regime, I think it would be revisited. As for CBD I support, but government should provide the infrastructure and give out the lands for free with a height restrictions of minimum of 10 floors building.
It's very achievable.

Yes, I agree with you on that CBD of a thing. I agree 100% ,we need that in the South East. It will show that Igbos are really the economic strength of west Africa

Kikikikikikikkkkkikikiki. The thing pain am well well.

MORE IGBO MUSLIM PICTURES

O don't understand you, posting Hausa people wearing Igbk dresses does not make them Igbo Muslims, Anu mpama

Almaigaa:
I'm serious.
I'm presently in Owerri. I and my Muslim coleagues have been able to ISLAMIZE over 60% of IGBOS in the EAST. Three of your Governors were also ISLAMIZED in the last two years.

Anuohia, There is nothing like Igbo Muslim

asha80:
if it means more money then apart from salary and pensions roads and technical schools have to made a priority

Roads?? yes!! Technical schools? Priority? No bro. I think Industrial layouts, free trade zones, a financial district like the boulevard in NY, something like that to attract both local and foreign investors to our dear state should be made priority

sanctity454:
Random

where be this,umu nnem?

sanctity454:
Imagine if the defunct progress bank building was completed. Government should sell the building even if it's at a give away price of 1bilion naira, instead of allowing it rot away

Where be this bro? Imo should also look into serious planting of trees and shrubs along all the roads Biko. It helps in alleviating the look of the environment and also climate change

sanctity454:
According to the Owerri city urban renewal project, new bus terminals like the ones in Lagos will be established at Egbu road and Naze.

Control roundabout is also included in junction improvement works, though am dissatisfied that imsu roundabout was not included.

Good

asha80:
so which one of bayelsa,rivers,delta or akwa ibom has been displaced?

Probably Akwa ibom

ScotMisile:
And wike will be there looking for ipobbheads to behead... Rivers state has always been stealing from Imo state... From oil wells to Igbo speaking communities even uoto language and culture.
So, Imo state is actually a very wealthy and legendary state. The hope Uzodinma mathematics is working. Wealthy state, wealthy individuals, educated state, educated individuals... Imo state... Enemies may cry all the more.

I too love my dear state Imo state , I just hope we can translate all these into Maximum development

FreeIgbos:
Wow!!!!
This is great news!!!

I hope Rivers State is made to pay back all the oil money they stole from Imo State. I mean this is robbery na. 45 oil Wells revenue over the years is not beans, we are talking of billions of naira here!!

My state is now oil rich and I see Owerri becoming Nigeria's second most beautiful city after Abuja

Let's aim higher bro, It should be the most beautiful with Okigwe and Orlu following closely

Yet, the North hold you by the Balls,
Yet, the North is your master.
Yet, all the 5 EASTERN Governors were installed by the North.
Yet, the Northern Galant security men do Target practice with youths in your region.
Yet, over 95% of all Federal Government workers in the EAST are from North.
Yet, the North will still install another stooge in Anambra, as Governor.
Yet, Igbo's don't have a say in the EAST and beyond.
Yet, BIAFRAN Region is the most backward.
Yet, the North has succeeded in ISLAMIZING over 60% of IGBOS in the EAST.
Yet, Nnamdi Kanu was arrested, Chained and dragged like a comon Thief.

no be only 60% na 100% Aturu

Supremos:
Imo state should sue Rivers State for decades of illegal revenue diversion

Supported

Almaigaa:
Northerners will still own the Oil Wells as usual

Na wetin Dem tell you, Yoruba man??!

chukshigh:
Uzodinma on the beat. Imolites give this man a chance biko, he be like he fit perform

Oga, he no dey work anything. Imo state now has a lot of bad roads and since he entered office he never build one single road

Blue3k:
Lol I wonder if Rivers will cry like Cross River has over the last decade. This is going to fun to watch.

Let them cry

Good, God bless Imo state and Ndi Imo. All the oil wells should even go to Imo state, so Niger Deltans can have focus in their lives. That oil is doing them a major disservice so it is a welcome development

greatiyk4u:
This is the time to determine NORTHERN/SOUTHERN Supremacy

situations like this is where the input of ABARIBE is of utmost need not wearing DOT NATION POLO and chasing social media clout.


Southern law makers should be held responsible should any slash be made on this allocation of proposed 5% for host communities.

I will hate Abaribe if he ever speaks in favour of these incosequential bunch of brainless dullards called " the so-called Nigerdeltan" . He should focus only on Igbo matters

Welcome to the South WA$TE , the home of the Afonjas
