Imo state banned okada during okorocha tenure but in the last few years okada has returned to Owerri as a major means of transportation. Cities of Onitsha, Enugu, Awka and even Abakaliki, Asaba, etc has banned okada and maintained it but the ban failed in imo state due to rise in poverty and lack basic infrastructures .
Ozodimgba has totally destroyed imo state . Owerri is still a slum and a glorified rural area . Most imo indigenes are running away because almost all the roads in imo state are dilapidated. Imo is a failed state
Otti has borrowed over 500 million dollars since he came to office meanwhile Umuahia is still a slum and Aba is a cesspit of dilapidated infrastructures and dirty environment. Abia state is cursed
See how they are busy attacking someone for stating the truth . From the pictures it is clear that ikot ekpene is more beautiful and looks like a city than Owerri which is still a glorified village. This reality pain them hahaha
kinematlcs: Owerri is a complete unplanned slum. You people should stop embarrassing yourselves everywhere. This is the same Owerri you people are yapping about.

Imo is yet to have a befitting township that’s why most imo indigenes living in SE are either running to Onitsha or Enugu to live . Owerri is a rustic village
That Owerri don gulp all capital devt funds of Imo state and federal govts funds since 1976. No other town in Imo was allowed to see devt. Strange: 11 federal and state housings in Imo all in Owerri.

Owerri is a slum and a glorified village. Imo is yet to have a befitting state capital
