We the imolites

Abia state guy,
Shorrup. Ignore the false votes for your mentor, incumbent governor Okorocha for his son-in-law during the guber election.

Having Uche Nwosu succeed gov Rochas Okorocha is like having Okorocha continue as Imo state governor for a 3rd term.
Develop more sense.

But I don’t get the gist: power plants or power lines?

Alaoji is a 330kv power station supplied by power plants elsewhere.

Ihiala to Owerri, or to Orlu, is also a power line, not a power plant.
Both power lines depend on electricity supply from existing power plants in Nigeria.

If Mbakwe’s Electricity POWER PLANT in central location Amaraku, can now be built anew to make Imo state less dependent on national power plants, that would be great.

POWER SUPPLY BOOST TO IMO AS IMO STATE GOVERNMENT MOVES TO BRING 330KV POWER LINE TO THE STATE.

The Imo state Goverment has concluded plans to ensure that the two power plants attracted by His Excellency Distinguished senator Hope Uzodimma during his time as senator representing Orlu zone are up and running so as to provide adequate power supply to Imo state and neigbouring communities.

The two plants which are
First in line is the ihiala 2 x 60MVA transformers already fully installed waiting for line connection from Alaoji - Owerri - Ihiala - Onitsha 330kv line.
Another 330KV line takes off from Ihiala to Orlu Ststion
Where 2 × 60MVA Transformers have also been fully installed and ready to transmit.
The team also showed the 3rd Station as the Nnewi 330kv line runnig to Isiekenesi and Okigwe with a 2x60MVA transformers each.

The power project team headed by the SA Power and Energy to the Governor Comr. Sam Chuks Nwaire accompanied by Engr. Joseph Ejidoh of Niger Delta Power Holding Company
from Abuja who went on the onsite visit for assessment of the power plants to ascertain a high level of work carried out.

The overall purpose of this exercise is to restore reliable and adequate power to Imo state in general.

Good things — Mbakwe era-like development things - are beginning to come to Imo state.

Since 2007, Imo has had governors like Ohakim who built Boulevard like YarAdu road in Owerri and another Boulevard in his village, as achievement, and Okorocha who was telling anyone who cared to listen that he was building his dear state capital city, Owerri, to international standard.

Ohakim and Okorocha never knew that no modern town without public water supply and adequate supply of electricity, deserves the name, city.
It’s hard to understand how those two governors believed that once they built on the state capital, they developed Imo state.

PDP IN NIGERIA AGAIN?

GOD FORBID BAD THING.

Looting, confused mofos that put our darling nation in a big mess and took us 100 years back at a time we made the highest revenue in the history of our nation, they stole the future of the small thieves clamoring for them.


Gbamsolutely!
You've said it all Oga Fredooooooo.

CONFIRMER!!


They have been in shambles since 2015, when they lost to our darling Daddy despite BILLIONS of dollars they used in rigging!



Even their Ineffectual buffon has moved on from his unprecedented defeat.
Only swines are still in severe pains.

Shame as this guy does not know that the difference between PDP and APC is only in name.

Politicians migrate from PDP to APC and vice versa.

What the heck! So no Intel gathering by the army? No wonder the army has been releasing these killers as repented bandits/terrorists.Terrorism can never be defeated in Nigeria because both the army & insurgents share the same commander.God punish una there.

Pity those Nigerians who believe that one day Boko Haram insurgency shall end.

It can only end with dissolution of Nigeria.

Boko Haram says it’s fighting for a country to be governed with Islamic Sharia criminal laws.

Boko Haram sponsors are in the 12 northern sharia states that adopted unconstitutional Islamic Sharia criminal laws.

Only Owerri is Imo state for deluded, mentally deranged or foxy people.

Those who created Imo as a state expected beautiful development infrastructures to also exist in Orlu and Okigwe areas to usher in private developers with beautiful edifices to showcase.

Enough.

Mentally deranged people still support all tertiary education institutions in Imo state to be in or nearest Owerri, public water supply system and boulevards only for Owerri.

Federal government also needs to introduce residency status whereby a resident of a local government area must be registered in the local government registry and must not live in the bushes. This is how it’s done in normal countries.
No half and half measures.

majamajic:
Defeated indeed

Fish them out
Then put them back into the mix
It will surely be a postive and long lasting reproductive system !

This method, it shows that Boko Haram shares the same objective with people governing Nigeria - the objective of a Nigeria to be governed with unconstitutional Islamic Sharia criminal justice system.

B2mario:
You must be stupid if you said so. I've been warning you to stop using Orlu name in your madness display and you don't want to heed until you see the consequences. Just wait and see.

You now issue threats, monkey.

Simplyleo:
Working for igbo presidency in which obodo? The zoo?

Day before yesterday, we want biafra
Yesterday, we want referendum
Today, we want presidency

Abeg, wetin you want?

Abi na only you waka come?

You are blind to the dirty political structure of Nigeria weighing down progress for the Igbo, and which makes Igbo ask for either political restructuring of Nigeria, or ask for Igbo President of Nigeria via rotation of President or Biafra.

Continue to be the CLOWN and PARASITE you are.

seankafor:
why u dey carry this orlu and okigwe for head like gala?

Are they the only improvished LGA in IMO state?

Why is no one talking of obowo LGA?

You have to talk about Obowo if it’s your hometown. God helps those who help themselves.

Provided you are not one of those who were fed fat with falsehood that state capital must be developed first by governors before any other place in a state.

But Orlu and Okigwe are not on the same table with Obowo, you know that, of course.

B2mario:
Stop giving attention to that guy, he's not from Orlu.

You want to receive insults from me, the way others heap insults on you?

Only a fool would say that I am not from Orlu.

You Abia man, go home, Okorocha your mentor is no more in charge of any where in Imo state.

Tell him to start placing his Constituency projects in Orlu zone if he is still representing the zone..

kuuljay:
Why not send your boys to defend your land oh! I forgot they are in Lagos threatening tinubu

MURIC has already helped in ceding SW region to Fulani through Tinubu.

We know who you work for.

B2mario:
You are speaking as if you don't know Nigeria. Everything is politics. Let's wait and see. Was it not the same way Ihedioha scrapped one side of Dee Sam Mbakwe road with the news that the drainage was not properly constructed Uzodimma came in and re-asphalted it without giving any consideration to drainage issue.

These people hate Rochas and are bent in destroying his legacy. In my own opinion as a true imolite and based on what I see on ground not what I heard or read on social media, Rochas still remain the best not only in Imo state but southeast at large.

In bold: the madness of demolishing and rebuilding in Owerri shall be stopped by people’s force soon, until urban roads of other Imo towns are asphalted..

So many urban roads in Owerri have been reconstructed up to three times in ten years, but most of the urban roads in Orlu have never seen asphalt for once. Enough of state capital madness in Imo state. There is more to the madness than love for state capital: governors milk Imo state dry as they showcase roads and drainage systems they built in Owerri, but can’t account for funds that should have gone into building urban roads and drainage systems in Orlu and Okigwe areas.

Thats my State!

Don’t let enemies of development hear you .

By way, this is Enugu city, not Enugu state.

Do you have any other city worth the name in Enugu state?

When did Alex Ekwueme’s Rockview Hotel become Imo state government house?

Owerri man can’t build such a hotel outside Owerri.
Nobody can point to any landed property in any town outside Owerri owned by Owerri person in Imo state.

Owing pensioners is bad, but these are protesters by Owerri PDP.

Duru1:
You are onto something, bro. No wonder peeps from Orlu always get the nod for the governor of Imo State. Orlu zone has corned all the reasonable urban development in Imo State.

Owerri has a modern and most durable public water supply system worth more than N50 billion, with huge underground water supply pipes in most of the local government areas in Owerri zone.
Pipe borne water supply system does not exist anywhere in Orlu zone. People sink private water boreholes in Orlu zone and consume the deadly water.

Orlu zone has been unfortunate for producing governors who are not educated enough to understand the importance of public water supply system for their people. First project of Emeka Ihedioha as governor was contract to reactivate Owerri regional surface water supply system.

Owerri zone has the best underground drainage system in Nigeria.

Floods have been destroying multi deck buildings in Orlu. The urban drainage project of Orlu started many years ago is not completed. Govs from Orlu zone dig deep pits here and there in Orlu town centre as half measures inside town to collect floods, instead of completing the gutter.

Owerri roads are being expanded by governors, inland roads, bye pass roads, internal link roads that lead to rapid urban expansion of Owerri.

Orlu urban roads are like in civil war era. Okorocha expanded four short roads that link to the road to his Ogboko hometown. Outside that, hardly any good roads link communities in Orlu zone.

In Imo state, Owerri zone hosts all the universities and polytechnics that promote urban development.

There is only School for the Mentally and Physically Handicapped in Orlu. Imo state Polytechnic is profited most by Owerri.

The sort of governors that emerge from Orlu zone don’t understand the importance of public university in human and economic development of a place.

So what did you mean by Orlu zone cornered the urban development projects in Imo state?

B2mario:
Nothing is wrong with the bridge, every story about the bridges and tunnels is propaganda. People were brainwashed not to use the tunnels and bridges that they where constructed with ordinary blocks which is a total lie. At least 50 - 65% of roads shown in the video were constructed by sen. Okorocha.

Ha ha ha. Was Rochas Okorocha asleep when he was building the flyovers and tunnels whereas houses in many parts of Orlu were being washed away by floods due to uncompleted flood control duct started during the administration of Amadi Ikwechegh?

The floods from Orlu move down to Akokwa-Orlu road, usually cut the road in pieces frequently.

How could a man elected as state governor be so vindictive in office, such that he even inflicted injuries to his place of birth as he thought he was undermining Orlu?

The flyovers may never be utilized because the governor who built them used them as an offensive to a large majority of people in Imo state. Rest of the state was rotting away while he was building flyovers and tunnels and inland roads in Owerri as well as roofing Owerri streets.

Shaaaaaaa. Is Nigeria no more a federation?


What business has Abuja federal government got with Statutory Marriage in other states in Nigeria?

SmartPolician:
Abagworo, isn't it better that Okorocha didn't construct a flyover instead of building an elevated deathtrap for Imolites to use?

Flyovers are a mark of unplanned towns, except where used on fast moving roads for change of direction.

But semi-literates in Owerri clamour for flyover in Owerri. They see flyover as mark of big city. They never got bothered by the fact that flood was eating away parts of their state in Orlu due to absence of common urban drainage gutters. Iberiberism.

Billionaire Businessman and Founder, Orange Drugs, Chief Tony Ezenna is Alive and Well, POLITICS NIGERIA can authoritatively confirm.

On Sunday, rumours went viral on social media that Ezenna had died from COVID-19 complications. However, in a statement obtained by this newspaper, signed by Ingram Osigwe, Media adviser for Orange group, the death rumour was the 'handwork of mischief makers'.

"This is to appeal to the general public to disregard the rumour about the death of Tony Ezenna, Chairman of Orange Group."

"The rumour is malicious and the handwork of mischief makers as the Ikenga Akokwa is neither sick nor dead.
Investigations are on-going to unravel the source of this wicked rumour with the view to bringing the culprit(s) to book."

"Ezenna wishes to assure his friends, family and associate that he is hale and hearty." the statement read.

When people talk about oil as if it's one big revenue maker I just laugh ....as a country we make less than 20 billion dollars a year from oil ...that's less than what most companies make
If north develop their leather industry it can be a $5 to 50 billion industry if they add raw materials to it
With little research and irrigation north can be a raw material power House , producing things like wheat , milk ,sugar , ethanol , vegetables and many money ..... honestly north is not badly positioned

South West have everything they need to be a great Nation same with south south

The least advantaged is the south east ...but that's nothing actually we would find our way ....I don't know why south west and yorubas want one Nigeria when it's obvious they would be better off alone

Crude oil in the Niger Delta as well as Islam.

How has it been possible for only this north (Sokoto and Kanem Bornu Caliphates) to stop the political restructuring clamoured for by rest of Nigeria?

It’s because there are people like Bola Tinubu and Raji Fashola in the south - sympathizers with Sokoto Caliphate - that’s why restructuring of Nigeria’s political process has not come to be.

Chibuzo15:
You overrate the value of Nigerian public universities, if it was back in the days when they usually maintained industries to generate income, I would have agreed immediately, but these days even sachet water is difficult for some public Nigerian tertiary institutions,
I know you want to talk about land, houses , hostels etc. Yes yes yes .. presence of schools caused faster building of houses and estates etc.

But how has that helped the common man who is not a student ?
When these public schools go back to how they were back in the days .. , public universities used to own poultry, fisheries , cow ranches then I would agree with your statement

I even see nothing stopping them from owning other industries maybe in Tech or anything.
Real estate and housing is development, but it's too shortsighted, prices of goods and services keep increasing in S.E cos of inadequate industries..

It’s like you confuse Public university with private university.
FYI, Public university is a university owned by government.


All your foresightedness here is about: let Owerri retain all public universities in Imo state, let people of Orlu and rest of Imo state build their own private universities.

When did Nigeria develop to the level of the Uk and the US, Mr foresight?

Do you know that it takes more than 3 tines what it costs to graduate from a public university to graduate from a private university?

Why would you wish people of the same state with you to suffer, while Owerri people enjoy all the dividends of democracy in Imo state?

Yampotatocarrot:
Thanks, someone answered that.

Is Uturu that close to Okigwe for them to have their campuses in different states?

Uturu-Okigwe used to be the name for ages until Abia state was created.
Uturu is very close to Okigwe. Okigwe reaps loads of the economic development benefits of location of the university at Uturu.

Abia state university Uturu used to be called Imo state university Okigwe before Abia state was created and Uturu carved out from Okigwe for Abia state.

Lostz:
we know you want to replace Buhari since 2015.

maybe you finally realized your presidential ambition will remain a dream

Tinubu could have easily become President of Nigeria if Nigeria was politically restructured with the recommendations of the 2014 Confab .

No southern politician campaigned from 1999 to 2013 for political restructuring of Nigeria more than Tinubu did.
Given the present skewed and lopsided political structure of Nigeria created by northern military dictators, no southern presidential candidate can win Nigeria’s presidential election unless the core north is not interested in ruling Nigeria.


Now, Tinubu has lost political restructuring, has lost becoming president of Nigeria.
He is now getting old.

the person meant having a public university where the students stays among the villages renting flats and hostels a la polynek,futo style contribution of funds cycling the areas surrounding
university through printing and the likes not your description here..he is looking at it strictly through the Nigerian pattern of how areas surrounding public universities benefit from students patronage

He knew what you’ve just explained.

Owerri develops and rapidly expands because of the universities and polytechnics in Owerri. Natives of Owerri sell a plot of land and become too rich overnight. If a student from Orlu spends N1000000 to complete a four year course in a tertiary education institution in Owerri, his counterpart from Owerri zone may spend half of that because of closeness to the institution.

Some smart by half people from Owerri tell Orlu to build private universities to usher in development. Private universities are not subsidized by government. Thus private universities charge a lot higher fees than government university.

Recently, a Prof from Owerri advised gov Uzodinma to open another university very close to Owerri by converting Imopoly Umuagwo to a university of Agriculture.
Primitive greed in a group in Imo state has confined development in the state to only Owerri.

Chibuzo15:
Lol, I was waiting for someone to say this,
Harvard is a private university imagine the human development it has brought about in USA,
and here in Nigeria, schools like Covenant Uni and Afe Babalola university have brought about huge human and economic development. Maybe not up to federal universities but more than a lot of Nigerian state universities

Mr/Mrs Clever by Half,

if PRIVATE UNIVERSITY is it for you to usher in development in an area,
why then did Owerri/Mbaise people nearly start a CIVIL WAR each time former govs Udenwa, Ohakim and Okorocha talked about removing Imo state university from Owerri?

Ok, relocate Imopoly, FUTO, IMSU, AIFCE, FERCOLAT from Owerri to Orlu, but establish PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES like Harvard, MIT, Afe Babalola, Convenant Uni, all in Owerri.

If we do that, I bet you that before 10 years, Orlu shall become more modern and more urbanized than your Owerri home area.
