Looks childish, I believe they can do better. They should try to contact the guy in charge of decorations and gardening for Rochas, because if we blame him for anything, one of the good things he had going for him was his beautification of Owerri with gardens and parks

Iberiberism without understanding it is a big disease.

Decorating Owerri even with gold to 5 Star Level, but have Orlu and Okigwe remain the shitholes of today, a visitor to Imo state may SPIT on your face for Iberiberism. They don’t develop places in a state or country one after the other. You do here, you do there, NEVER concentrate on one place. Ohashieremism sets out against you when you concentrate on one place.

Where's imsu

IMSU?

IMSU which doesn’t even have lecture halls and university structures, about 18 years after it was wrongly established by Evan Enwerem in Owerri which also hosts all six government tertiary education institutions in Imo state.

Let IMSU move to the befitting university structures built by Okorocha govt for it in Ideato, else IMSU cannot get on well.

Please open your Imo factory at Orlu because of distance convenience to Nnewi.

Orlu, Aba and Umuahia were named the industrial hubs of old Imo state by late Sam Mbakwe.

Cement will gulp the largest amount of the N2 million.

First offense of Bubu against Nigeria was connive with Dangote Monoply to nearly double the price of cement immediately after he became president in 2015.

Count down from. Achike Udenwa
udenwa orlu 8years
Ohakim okigwe 4years
Owelle orlu 8years
Ihedioha owerri 7months
Uzodinma orlu 6months +

orlu has maintained power for 16+ years yet orlu is underdeveloped with respect to owerri
How is it owerri man's fault
They governors. Where they not from orlu
Or did they deny their lga from orlu
Instead of holding orlu son's accountable for not bringing home the dividends of Democracy and home town benefits, someone is here attacking owerri people

Kpachala anya there

Count Udenwa out.


Orlu and Okigwe remain underdeveloped because Ohakim and Okorocha felt they are not from Orlu or from Okigwe.
Ohakim from Okohia,Mbano. Okorocha from Ideato south LGA.
Their failed calculation was to concentrate on state capital.
They were not like former governor Evan Enwerem from Ikeduru area of Owerri zone but who cornered infrastructures to Owerri after depriving Orlu and Okigwe similar infrastructures.

Ohakim and Okorocha instead concentrated on state capital, did dual carriage roads in their respective hometowns; left decadence in Orlu and Okigwe.

B2mario:
Anything development is welcome bro.
We need more things beyond road construction. And since Uzodimma started work nothing like 8lane roads, all I can see is the conventional double lanes and single lanes. Where are we heading to? There should be improvement not going back to initial level.

And Orlu and Okigwe need more dual carriage roads not just the few ones Rochas constructed. The two towns need new locations plan by government and allow private individuals to venture in as was done in new Owerri.

And by now Owerri should be getting more new planned towns not just new Owerri. The diasporan city should equally be given attention and completed.

May God bless Imo state the more.

In bold:

Development for Orlu and Okigwe?

Hope Uzodinma was asking for Owerri Development Master Plan a few days ago;
the same Owerri Development Master Plan which ousted governor Ihedioha was looking for in 7 months.

Nobody talks about Orlu and Okigwe Development Master Plan, or Imo state Development Master Plan. Things have since been wowo for Imo state.

Hope represented Orlu senatorial district for 8 years in the Senate.

sanctity454:
It's world bank project, definitely okigwe regional will be looked into.

World bank put emergency water boreholes, like the ones that were sunk and dried up in Shell Camp Owerri before Mbakwe’s surface water supply system came to Owerri.

A state governor rehabilitating Owerri and Okigwe modern water supply projects but intent on emergency boreholes that shall dry up the next day in his hometown...?

sanctity454:
The MD/CEO ISWSC Engr Emeka Ugoanynwu FNSE, FNIWE, KSJI and Head, Engineering Dept Engr Iheka Charles Chidi today 15th August 2020 embarked on reconnaissance inspection of Owerre Ebeiri water scheme, Eluama Orlu and Oleme Orlu Water Schemes in preparation of site handover on Wednesday under the world Bank assisted 3NUWSRP. Hopefully one of these schemes will be selected with Ekenguru Water Scheme for rehabilitation.

Good they have remembered the importance of public water supply.

Owelle thought that private water boreholes are it, or he dodged responsibility.

But if the population of Orlu when the reservoir was built more than 50 years ago was 50,000, the population of Orlu today is about 430,00.

Underground water supply (boreholes system) for public water supply in Orlu this time is like a scratch on the problem. Water flows from boreholes today, tomorrow it’s dry.

Why not activate Okigwe regional surface water supply project, lay pipes from Amuro to Anara to Nkwerre to Orlu to Oru/Orsu/Ideato. Local government areas then organize people to contribute money to buy pipes and reticulate the waters to communities?
What’s worth doing is worth doing well.

Dedetwo:
We can only know the buffoon in this scenario if Orlu becomes the capital of a state and overlooked while all the developments are centered in its sister towns.

State capital is the seat of government.
It’s not a place to concentrate nearly all government development institutions - as in Owerri, Imo state.
No constitution says that state capital must be developed first before any other place in a state.

See beyond your Owerri nose for once: for example, Tallahassee is the capital of the state of Florida in the USA. But there are other cities many times bigger, and hosts more government institutions of government, than Tallahassee, in the state of Florida.

In neighboring Anambra and Delta states, for example, government development institutions are distributed roughly equal among the senatorial districts.

In Imo state, poorly informed political leaders that have consistently emerged from other senatorial zones outside Owerri agree to the falsehood formulated by Owerri that state capital must host government development institutions in the state; that state capital must be developed first before other places in the state get government attention. FALACY, FALSEHOOD. Non uniform development in a state does not impress decent people.

SmartPolician:
You have a problem with understanding because you are not open-minded. Yes, you are using the wrong platform to vent your anger on people who never knew you existed.

No doubt, Coldie raised a very valid point

Rochas spent 8 years constructing the roads in Owerri. At the twilight of this controversial administration, he said that salt water washed away all the roads. The roads in question were obviously substandard projects.

Coldie is simply saying that if those roads had been intact, this administration would have focused more on the rural communities.

Yes, that is very logical and makes perfect sense.

What made Rochas spend 8 years building the roads of Owerri - a truth you acclaimed above?

Rochas as governor challenged Owerri people to show him any body from Owerri zone who has more businesses in Owerri than him, Rochas.
Why would a state governor close eyes and concentrate on building roads only in one place but ignores the ugly political consequences from other ignored places? Business: to use the roads to increase the value of Owerri landed properties of government operatives.

Rural communities?

Population of Orlu is about 430,000.
Population of Owerri is about 1,000,000 with high population of students who come and leave Owerri.

Only in your Imo state would conmen classify Orlu as rural area.

It’s only demented persons like you who would classify some long established urban centres in Imo state, except Owerri, as Rural communities.

Owerri, Orlu and Okigwe were the officially established urban centres of Imo state when the state was created in 1976.

But agents of underdevelopment like you and con men in leadership positions of Imo state have been regarding Orlu and Okigwe as rural areas, treat the two towns as rural areas since 2007. Since the roguish treatment of Orlu and Okigwe as rural areas, the rogue politicians STEAL government funds that should have gone to provide urban infrastructures to Orlu and Okigwe. They yearly reconstruct already built roads in Owerri, as well as new roads to their private landed properties in Owerri to increase the value. Owerri lands owners sell a plot of land for million plus millions of Naira.
You get happy.

Coldie:
I am not saying like that but since all the governor's plans are to develop only owerri. If all d roads are done that might bring their attention to others lgas

They can NEVER stop doing only Owerri roads so long as they refused to allow development institutions leave Owerri.


Every new administration starts to build and rebuild on already built-up Owerri area. Four or eight years gone, they pocket money that should have gone to the areas they made to wait.

Turn by Turn that never reaches the turn of Orlu and Okigwe areas has become an established thing since 2007 to fleece Imo state .

Coldie:
If only imo state wasn't building substandard roads by now maybe we would have finished road construction in owerri and focus on other lga

.. common sense is that if say 10 roads are reconstructed in Owerri urban, about 3 or so roads must be reconstructed in the other urban areas of the state - Orlu and Okigwe-

...at the same time, save some rural roads that are on the brink of total collapse before they finally give away.

It’s malicious work if you say you finish reconstruction of Owerri urban roads first, before any other place.

Humans may be urinating and shitting ontop of one another in Imo state capital if the foolish trend of build in the state capital first does not stop now.

Coldie:
If only imo state wasn't building substandard roads by now maybe we would have finished road construction in owerri and focus on other lga

“.... would have finished construction in Owerri and focus on other LGA “?

Only Criminal minds think about turn by turn development.

The turn by turn formula in Imo state is a formula established by criminal gangsters in power
since 2007 to shortchange the people of Imo state. Save enough money to steal. Because they hardly go to the turn of the areas they made to wait for their turn.

Turn by turn kills development in areas you made to wait for their turns, as the state capital continues to expand and absorb population from areas you made to wait for their turn.

Imagine: when we finish construction of Abuja roads, we move down to construction of Owerri roads.

Its not possible that a lady will not know her boyfriend is married.
Only that people just meet and jump into bed,start having sex and claiming to be in a relationship..Without being acquaintances ,establishing friendship first and doing adequate background findings about a prospective partner.

When you tell them to close their legs,they will say they want to be know his size and prowess.
When the matter cast,they start lamenting.

Premarital sex, no matter how it sweet it feels ,when it backfires,its the ladies that feel the bitterness.

Cute response.
Unmarried lady who goes to have sex with a man must be ready to bear the consequences of the sex she had.

ukukaegbu:
You can deal with the man if you so wish, but please leave the wife and kids out of it. They are innocent.

Why advise her to deal with the man?

The thousands of orgasms she had from her Sammy remain her consolation.

Was she so empty upstairs to not been able to investigate first the background of the man she would go into intimate relationship with?
Brilliant women would first investigate before getting into intimate relationship with a man.

Except you are stereotypical of seeing government's involvement in business as fraud,it's not altogether a bad idea for Imo State to get major benefits of the oil and gas sectors.

Government does not run business. Government does not run industries.

Oil and Gas sectors pay royalties to government.
Government business is provide enabling environment like good roads, security, water supply, electricity, tax incentives, for entrepreneurs to establish businesses that employ labour.

Government is not a feeding bottle.

Ha ha ha. Most times, one Aboki would post as Igbo or Yoruba insulting either Igbo or Yoruba.

Then the fire is let lose. Then follows Barrage of insults from both Igbo and Yoruba - one against the other.
Aboki go siddon for corner de watch the fire.

Aboki comes from the old Songhai Empire known for using conquest and blackmail or divide and conquer to add colonies to Songhai empire.

Watch Igbo and Yoruba slug it out as Fulani from far away north collects booties from Lagos ports and booties from Nigerdelta crude oil and gas.

See how kid passengers are packed in the car - like in a lawless country.

But law enforcement agencies in the south of Nigeria shall not allow that packing of children like sardines in a car.

Aba should have been Japan of Africa if not for poorly informed governors of Abia state who thought states were created for governors to develop state capital alone.


Imo state has been having similar governors non stop.

Cmanforall:
This shows the pain people are passing through and clamouring for change.

I think Hope Uzodinma, to start with in a party not accepted by the Imo indigenes.
Another thing against him will be his zone. Uzodinma hails from Orlu zone, that have already governed the state for over 16years since 1999. The other 2 zones are yet to have such. It should ideally be going to Owerri zone, that is Ihedioha's zone.

In a state that holds zoning dearly, this can increase the anger and loss of interest in the APC, Orlu-zone ruling government in the state.

Can one imagine this as having Hausa/Fulani rule Nigeria for another 8years after Bihari's 2nd term?

Whereas Imo people are desperate for other zones to govern, they should use a credible candidate.

Ihedioha and Uzodinma are the same.

I said it here!!! Because of tomorrow.

They should have an under 55 governor!

So far, has Uzodinma or his commissioners shown any attachment to Orlu, the headquarters of Orlu senatorial zone? Not one street has been reconstructed in Orlu by this government which has reconstructed many roads in Owerri.

Some of these people in Orlu zone are in politics with the name of Orlu zone, but don’t have any sympathy for Orlu itself. At the end they become losers for acting against nature.

It’s no use calling Orlu zone.

But Aba is not state capital.
In 13 years, no governor of Imo state has done any development project outside Owerri the state capital, except perhaps a few roads.

Nd’Igbo must pray for Imo state.

asha80:
Hope uzodinma certainly going the way of rochas ..portharcourt road just near owerri girls that has supposedly been reconstructed just under two months now undergoing maintainance

.. that’s for the enjoyment of those who have been conditioned to see and promote Imo state’s development process as affair of only Owerri area. Every few years, since 2007, urban roads in Owerri are scrapped and repaired. If anyone asks: but what about the dilapidated urban roads in the other towns in Imo state, that one becomes a strange person before the parochial persons around.

Nature abhors injustice:
since 2007 when rest of Imo state outside Owerri area started to be schemed out from government development projects, it has been demolish and reconstruct sordid road projects in Owerri, sordid and abandoned projects in Owerri.
