Lol.
Talk here is about concentrating all government tertiary education institutions in Imo in one area - Owerri, but you rambled about Orlu having international market, school of nursing and half of properties in Owerri being owned by people from Orlu zone.

And you see yourself as normal?

That aside.

1) Imo state university teaching hospital Orlu is not a university. When it functioned, about 400 medical students from Owerri main campus were coming to the teaching hospital for practical.

2) if 48-53% of properties in Owerri are owned by people from Orlu zone, less than 0.001% of properties in Orlu are owned by people from Owerri zone.
Dont you already see that as abnormal?

Owerri is distinct from Orlu - only relationship between both is they share Imo state together.

Owerri people know that Owerri is distinct from Orlu, that’s why Owerri people lobbied and watched all six tertiary education institutions of government in Imo State located in Owerri - no consideration for Orlu.

Because Owerri holds nearly all modern development institutions and amenities of government in Imo state, people from Orlu zone are constrained to abandon their hometowns to buy property and settle in Owerri.

Cost of landed properties in Owerri is hundred times the cost of landed properties in Orlu area.

People from Orlu are subjected to the double jeopardy of life in building and maintaining two living houses - one in Owerri where modern development institutions and amenities are in tripes or quadruple, then build another native house in Orlu zone where modern development institutions and amenities of government are quasi disallowed.

Why did former governor Ihedioha cancel all the new universities established in Orlu zone by Okorocha, but Ihedioha instructed that Imsu be expanded in Owerri in defiance of his government committee recommendations to use Eastern Palm university in Ideato for Imsu. Because Owerri people see Orlu as distinct from Owerri.

At the root of all these jeopardy for people in Orlu zone is the absurd location of government institutions that induce modern development only in Owerri area in Imo state.


Moderate the imbalance through locating a multi faculty government university in Orlu zone, modernize the towns in Orlu zone to make them attractive even for people of Owerri zone to settle, before we start to build skyscrapers in Owerri but make Orlu and Okigwe go extinct.

While i agree that development should be spread, i'm amiss to why people think this is an Imo only problem. We all know how in Nigeria, almost everything tends to go to the state capital and Imo is no exception. Owerri s attracting all these because it's the capital of the state. As it stands orlu and Okigwe cannot compete with Owerri the way you guys want. Btw,if we're talking of spreading development, then we can't also limit it to Owerri, Orlu and Okigwe. We have Ohaji-Egbema which happens to be the largest local government in Imo state with nothing much to show for it. I think the area should also be considered when moving institutions out of Owerri.

I took a drive on Christmas day to some parts of Lagos to feel the pulse of the city. I started from Yaba through Maryland through Mobolaji Bank Anthony and Toyin street all the way through Allen Avenue to Adeniyi Jones.

Enjoy!!!

God bless him more for investing in Imo State and helping to create jobs. The state really needs investments from private individuals because there is no government here.

Imo State economy is gradually picking up and it will receive a boost once the refineries, petrochemical plant and gas projects are completed.

Had it been we have a governor like Umahi who would provide the much needed infrastructure, Owerri would have been competing with P.H by now but we keep having mediocres like Rochas and Hopeless.

Captain Iheanacho contested for Imo State gubernatorial election but when he wanted to build a refinery, he went to Lagos. Yet an outsider decided to build same refinery in Imo. We don't need selfish people like this.

Voting Hopeless out in 2023 is a task that must be done so that Imo State can develope optimally.

The bolded just hits the nail on the head. This is a problem in Igboland not just Owerri. For instance, we have an infrastructure governor in Ebonyi that probably needs more of agriculture than anything else and places like Imo that need governors like Umahi to supplement the hospitality industry is made o manage mediocres like Rochas and Hope.

Hello Guys, I hope your sunday is going well.

I finally summoned courage to go down this route but being someone who likes doing feasibility study to see if i can be selected, i used that CRS tool to see my possible score and it is 416 which is a far cry from the 471 minimum required. I reallydo not want to waste my time but then i added that i have a provincial nomination and the thing shot up to almost 1000.

What i want to know now is, what is the likelihood of someone getting nominated by a province?

femmy2010:
Nearby Jubilee bridge in Abule-Egba is nothing like that and I believe this won't too.

Actually, the Jubilee bridge is kinda like that but it's still largely clean. The difference is that Pen Cinema is a more busy place than Abule Egba.

From what i saw on ground, the bridge is going to be one of its kind when it's done.

Meanwhile, the Lekki-Epe expressway is also looking really good.
