Very Seconded
affiliating prostitution to a certain state debunks common sense bcus it as clear as a bell dat prostitution occurs in every state across the Country ,Continent and Globe

Sometimes I wonder why people think the hospitality industry can't drive economy of a state when properly enhanced. That's why Nigeria will continue lagging behind in development. They refused to bring much needed presence of the FRN to the east.
'so make people huzzle na' like Dubai and all those places they go and waste money on events

guy there are many beautiful places in Imo and so there are some bad places just like anyother states

Proudly IMOLITE

They don't even know. I took someone to Exclusive garden (Area H) .. he was just looking around like zombie. But this is someone that has spent his whole life in owerri oh. There is a magnificent hotel in Mbaise( I have forgotten the name) that most people in diaspora lodge when they are back home. very few cities in Nigeria would have that standard...

KINGPINE:
Lol ... Am not tempting you . White people are no god's that I should be bothered about there wherabout .

Lol .
You were the one that made them look like gods by doubting me.

I have seen some cities in developed countries with broken tarred roads . But it didn't take away the beauty of the environment one bit. Beauty of a city is much more than smooth roads. Just have an organized/grid system, good structures, good landscaping. Then everything falls into place.

Smithkline200:
Post the recent pictures of the roads.

Owerri is dead. No road, terrible roads and no security.
You can be kidnapped at a flip in Owerri

Roads are responsibility of the government. Probably because yours is not in the best condition doesn't rule out the beauty of the city. Development generally is the responsibility of everybody and the level the city has reached now wouldn't have been possible if everybody waited for the government. What we should ask of the government is to create opportunities for development to thrive in other LGAs. I hope we have the resources at times to Cruze around. And the financial power to visit those places we dream of in and around owerri.

Disappointed at what exactly ?
It's always nice to be specific with your submissions. I'm no fan of any governor in Nigeria. I'm a fan of true federalism and ingenuity

KINGPINE:
White colony ... Ha u can lie o . I stay @ porthacourt road close to the barracks . I hope Uzodinma is paying you for this publicity . But I stand on my word . Visiting Owerri you will be utterly disappointed I don't know who to blame the government or the people

Like I said. I won't like to release sensitive info here no matter how hard you try to tempt me.

KINGPINE:
You will be disappointed if you visit Owerri .That's all I can say .

Lol. Where do you even know asides Douglas and wethdral. I won't want to disclose sensitive info here for security reasons. I reluctantly visited a family for child dedication and what I saw at that area in owerri was like a white colony(not talking about all these Lebanese) most with British and German assent. They all looked very happy. A magnificent area I must say in owerri. I guess their parents could be working in all these oil firms in portharcourt.

Nadio2019:
But Owerri people have been enjoying the fun with governors like Ohakim, Okorocha and Uzodinma who think that urban development in Imo state is all about state capital.


Imo may never get governors like Enugu because the foundation for the type of governance in Imo state has been deeply established - governance of state capital; Owerri people celebrate, sell a plot of land for millions of Naira, train as many kids as possible in the many universities and polytechnics scattered every corner of Owerri zone. So how can Owerri man agree to return to Enugu as regional headquarters?

You are getting it all mixed up. It is not about the people of owerri agreeing. It is about the type of governors imo state have been producing. Once a governor sets out his mind to do something, he will. They stopped okada at post udewenwa- pre ohakim era, and people threatened fire and brim stone. But they achieved it. Ohakim stopped street trading. Rochas stopped Keke(which looked impossible) and introduced bus Imo.
So it's not about owerri people to agree to a regional system. Owerri is just one out of many LGA's in imo state

Nadio2019:
Any day any Imo state governor talks about removing one or two tertiary education institutions from Owerri to Orlu as you suggested, the people of Owerri senatorial district may prepare to set Imo state ablaze that day.


There are rotting university facilities in Orlu, but a School for the Mentally and Physically handicapped is all that’s allowed in Orlu since Adam.

Even the teaching hospital in Orlu has been sabotaged to death bed by people who believe that all govt development institutions must be in Owerri state capital.

You don't know the power a governor in Nigeria wields.
They are not just serious about it. The people won't do 'jack'. After all there are so many unimaginable things that have been done to the citizens and it all ended in beer palours

Spanish house owerri

Nadio2019:
The last thing Owerri people will agree to is return to regional government system with headquarters at Enugu.


Owerri people enjoy Imo state reduced by confidence men governors to become only Owerri capital territory.
Below is the most principal urban road in Orlu abandoned by successive governors of Imo from 2007 till today.

The governors foolishly think that they are punishing one man in Orlu.

Don't generalize by saying the last thing owerri people will want is a regional at enugu.

It may interest you to know that an average imo man would love to have the type of governors enugu produce than theirs. (From 1999 till date)

Nadio2019:
Not 1/4 of Imo population celebrate this Owerri thing.

Owerri consumed the money that should have gone to build three cities in Imo state.


Because three governors in a row since 2007 believe that they are enemy to formed governor of Imo state from 1999 whose hometown is Orlu urban Local government area..


These govs refuse to do any development in Orlu.

Okigwe became a collateral victim.

The governors driven by broken heart waste all the devt funds of Imo state on Owerri.

You are not totally right.
State Government will not do all the development for you considering the realities on ground. But what we are saying is this; that they should create opportunities for development to thrive. Such opportunities include..
- Relocating some state institutions to those regions
- there is also nothing wrong if he sets up a governors office (anex) in okigwe. It is doable. Infact the state legislators can resolve that ceremonial duties be done in okigwe then office duties in owerri or vice versa. There is no how it won't develop

That's same reason I advocate for more federal presence in this part of the country, because we have the human resources to develop anywhere without the government. What we need is just opportunities

Owerri

'On a lighter note'
Owerri believes so much in Nigeria, that's why you see the colour of Nigeria flag all over...

OWERRI


We seriously need a regional system of Government where each region manage their resources. Imagine a functional international airport in this region with resource control(favourable economic policies).

Now we know politicians are the same in every region. But don't you think each region can be more United on their own to protest a bad leadership of their own, rather than the leadership at the center?. Yes we can't rule out corruption which is not just a Nigerian thing but to an extent, favourable economic policies can go a long way.

Classy Owerri

Ingenuity in owerri
