Northern Nigeria which has ruled Nigeria since it restructured Nigeria politically through its soldiers, is now in a mess.

Rip.

Return fiscal federalism to regions to stop all these mess.

Olukat:
The man get balls sha
He knows in two weeks the Egyptians after him will be under River Duara

...because Buhari cabal had over-abused the powers of the Executive arm of govt.

The Judicial arm of govt is now calling the bluff of Buhari and his cabal.

Circus Trial aimed by Buhari with his Two-man CABAL to continue to misrule Nigeria after May 29.

Abagworo:
New Orlu Stadium is named after Sam Okwaraji an Orlu native who died on the pitch while playing for Nigeria some decades ago.

Samuel Sochukwuma Okwaraji (19 May 1964 – 12 August 1989) was a professional footballer who played internationally for Nigeria. He was also a qualified lawyer who had a masters in international law from the University of Rome. He collapsed and died of congestive heart failure in the 77th minute of a World Cup qualification match against Angola at the Lagos National Stadium in Surulere, Lagos State on 12 August 1989.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Okwaraji

Gov Okorocha ought to have known:

In govt official gazette, Sam Okwaraji Stadium is the Stadium in Orlu between Ihioma Road and Alhaji Tijani Street.
The Stadium was commissioned by Nigeria's federal government led by President Obasanjo in May 2007; dedicated to and named after Sam Okwaraji, the late Nigerian footballer from Orlu.

So, how come gov Okorocha is giving the name Sam Okwaraji, to the new stadium he is building in Orlu?

Rochas Okorocha calling ORLU his zone.

It's either that Rochas Okorocha has no senses or he likes to clown.

Okorocha spent eight years as governor building his Owerri Mega City, with the federal allocations of the LGAs in Orlu zone, while the Urban centres and LGAs in Orlu zone decayed.

The Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo says that "Even Buhari's enemies know he isn't corrupt." This statement was made on APC's verified twitter page. But, the statement didn't seem to go down well with some twitter users as they reacted to the VP's tweet.

Worst corruption is picking less qualified people of your ethnoreligious group to fill political posts in a country of multi ethnic and multireligious groups.

It's worse than monetary corruption because it tears apart the fabrics of such a country.
Another four years of Buhari nepotism, Nigeria may no longer exist.

Abagworo:
The one built by Udenwa vs the one by Okorocha at Orlu.

That's not the stadium built by Udenwa.

Udenwa stadium was roofed right round.

Continue with your falsehood .
How many months remain?

Plaudits for gov Okorocha to build the stadium at last.

But hopefully, the seats shall be covered with roofs, not with the nylon sheets I saw they were covered with last week when I was there.


Let Okorocha govt complete Old Owerri road, Orlu; no matter his differences with Best Mbanasor. Mbanasor does not own the road. Thousands of people who voted Okorocha in 2011 use the road.

Same with the road from International market pass St. Joseph Church Umuna to Imo poly campus;

and road to Morning Star Girls secondary School Orlu from Amaigbo road.


These roads his agents scrapped and abandoned since 2012 create lots of enmity against Okorocha in Orlu.

Best thing is let Igbo Biafra leave Nigeria, Let others who want one Nigeria continue with one Nigeria including crude oil in offshore SS.

SoNature:
Cry Baby, I won't exchange words with you. The reasoning is that I consider senseless a lot of you here wailing that your local communities have been abandoned.

Again, grow up and take your complaints to the right channels. Without a shadow of doubt, this is a wrong platform. And obviously, you just constitute online nuisance like Chino because Rochas doesn't read your rants.

Finally, I don't expect you to heed my advice. But something is certain: if you wail here till thy kingdom comes, it won't change a thing!

Information is spread on any medium, including here.
You have no right to censorship of information on NL.
Stop your IBERIBERISM.
Prepare to vote for Third term for Okorocha to continue with building you Owerri Mega City with allocations of your Mbano LGA. This budget year, Okorocha provided billions of Naira to expand Owerri Mega City beyond Mbaise, Ngor Okpala and Obinze, as well as more billions of Naira to pay off native land owners in Mbaise, Ngor Okpala and Obinze for land acquired for expansion of his Owerri Mega City. The federal allocations to your Mbano must be used to modernize Mbaise, Ngor Okpala, etc, in Owerri zone.
People of your village remain impoverished, your village remains more or less like it was before Okorocha came to office, except perhaps a road, roundabout and market stalls

Owerri Mega City project is for Okorocha/Nwosu mega businesses in Owerri.
.

Buhari cabal and its power intoxication. Might is Power.

Don't blame Buhari. Blame ethnoreligious bigots who follow Buhari like he is a cult

Tell the birds of the air that three weeks to the general election the CJN is expected to play a crucial role, the CJN was removed by Buhari cabal because of asset not declared.

Yampotatocarrot:
I completely get your point Sir, but check out his argument. He is saying Orlu SHOULDN'T even look up to the SG for development AT ALL. It should develop itself from its IGR.

So, in essence, the problem isn't an Imo problem, but a GENERAL Nigerian problem of state governments relegating LGs to the background n taking their funds.

Also, Owerri should not look up to the State govt for development at all,

the same way you said that Orlu should not look up to the State govt for development at all.
Is that what you meant that @ofuzo was saying?

arinzeejikonye:
Chill out bro,
Don't be hesitantly judgemental,

The bone of contention is decentralizing institutions,
The first set of pictures should be the one on the boundaries between aboh and ngor kpala, while the second should be that of onuimo, as for orlu, this is a cropped out pic of owelle on inspection in that of orlu.

Watch the vid on link below, the road is getting attention, he is equally making arrangements for more blocks.


https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2431324820229212&id=152023514826032

Your link about Orlu project leads to no where. Check it, if you did not originally set out to be diversionary.


@SoNature.

You are from one interior village in Mbano and don't care if 99% of funds of IMSG and its 27 LGAs is used to build you a Babylon City in Owerri, while Okigwe and Orlu remain villages.

So shorrup when people who want development of their hometowns are talking.

arinzeejikonye:
More,

The orlu college of Medicine is equally getting attention.

That's not Orlu College of Medicine in that photo of ongoing housing project.


Okorocha can't even rebuild the dilapidated road to Imo State University teaching hospital (IMSUTH), Orlu, talk less, Okorocha adding new building structure to the campus .
Okorocha govt roofed the uncompleted buildings of IMSUTH about six ears ago. Many of the roofed buildings are still empty, not converted to medical facilities they were originally designed for since then.

Ofuzo:
This is why you have state and national assemblies. Their job is to pass legislation that will improve the lots of their citizens. So, if you go back and reread my comments, you'd noticed where I said that the cities and small towns should be empowered to be self sufficient in most things. I also said that the present configuration of governments we have in nigeria should be reconfigured (restructuring). Without restructuring, it's practically impossible for nigerian cities to amount to anything. Currently, they are all shiitholes. The governor of imo state cannot sit in owerri and manage other cities in the state. This is exactly what I'm saying. It will never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever work.

Scroll back several pages of this forum to see what I've been saying. In developed countries, when localities reach certain population milestone, they are given city status. Mostly, city status empowers them to do certain things, like raise their own revenues, which is then used to pay their own police officers, pay for refuse disposal and other environmental issues, pay for teachers salaries, build their own roads and enforce cities codes and ordinances (regulations). They are also responsible for building codes, where certain areas of their cities are designated for certain types of development, unlike in nigeria where shacks are springing up all around residential areas.

In developed countries, some city mayors are as powerful as state governors. In the US, city mayors of san francisco, los angeles, new york, chicago, dallas, houston etc are larger than life characters. Some of their city budgets are in the billions of dollars. Washington DC with a population of less than 700,000 has a budget of more than 4 billion dollars.

Ref: your correct statement that in developed countries, a town reaches a certain population and gets designated as CITY, takes care of itself.

It's more or less the same system in Nigeria.

in Imo state, it's over 30 years that Owerri, Orlu Okigwe and Oguta were officially designated the Urban towns of Imo state, and are supposed to be treated such.


,But politicians of the zone of Imo state capital blackmail every new governor to first develop Owerri state capital to what they say international standard, before other towns can be attended to by future governors.. They sell the FALSEHOOD to largely barely semi-literate Imolites that all over the world, state capitals are first developed by government - TOTAL FALSEHOOD. Towns develop with what they have or allocation they get from wherever source.




These Owerri politicians and later day roguish governors tactically reduce Orlu, Okigwe and Oguta to rural area status.

This thing started since Abia state was cut out from old Imo state.

A governor who is not careful, or a clowning governor, easily falls victim of this design by Owerri politicians, and loses out at last politically.
Ohakim and Okorocha were victims of this.

No body can ever have any reason to back a state governor who collects the federal allocations of Orlu LGA to build on Owerri LGA. Okorocha did this for eight years. Orlu stinks.

Worse corruption than Ganduje's is that of a president who employs only persons of his ethnicity and religion to fill important political offices.

This type of corruption tears away the fabric of a multi ethnic and multireligious country.



Is Buhari also immune from disobeying Nigeria's Constitution regarding equal representation in federal government appointments?


Where is the NASS?/

oblaak:
How one man manipulates Lagosians baffles me till date. How can one old wretched man dictate for Lagosians on who governs them and no one can change the status quo? You can never try this iberiberism in the east. I trust my brothers.

Because the Tinubu gang manipulates the voters register, exclude too many non Yoruba from voting, or use many systems to frustrate too many non Yorubas from casting votes.

Impeach a governor who has a few weeks more to leave office ---- all LADEN WITH THE USUAL EVIL INTENTIONS AND CONSPIRACY THAT APC IS KNOWN FOR.

Abagworo:
Stop writing thrash. Were you born by 1976 abi your papa told you that lie?

Little wonder you and Rochas Okorocha believe that Imo state must have Owerri as only developed city.

Even during Mbakwe's administration, Aba, Orlu and Umuahia were the three officially recognized industrial hubs of then Imo state. Owerri was mere administrative post it has been before then.

Owerri, Orlu, Oguta and Okigwe have been the officially designated urban towns of present Imo state, even before Rochas Okorocha started school.


Mbakwe built industries in all the 21 LGAs of Imo state, slated surface water supply systems for the five zones -- all these for uniform development of Imo state.



Mbakwe left, rogue elements took over Imo state , started to locate every govt project in Owerri, limit development to Owerri, and pocket the money that should have gone for the development of rest of Imo state.

Udenwa who tried to change things for good of entire Imo state was hated to the bone marrow by the rogue elements.

Okorocha is now the darling of the rogue elements who now want Third term for Okorocha via Uche Nwosu.

The teaching hospital and International market Udenwa started in Orlu have been suffocated by Ohakim and Okorocha. Ask yourself how and why.

EdoBoyJazzie:
This was probably the reason they removed Onoghen and moved Okon Abang to abuja.

The two men of Buhari CABAL believe they are intelligent.
Their cup shall soon full.

Buhari has led Nigeria to the gutters.

If you vote a candidate because he is from your ethnic or religious group,

the candidate wins,

his children go abroad for education; enjoy life. But you remain in Nigeria and poor.

What did you gain?

What is the real value of the money you receive on Election Day, in order to cast your vote for a candidate?

Note that the money you receive is all you will be paid in the 4 years the candidate will be in office. He has paid you in advance for 4 years service.

365 dys x 4 yrs = 1460 days.

1. You receive #5,000 ? OK
#5,000➗1460 = N3 per day.

= That is the value of the vote you sold, over 4 years.

2. U receive #1000..?Ok, now
1000➗1460 = 68 kobo per day.

3. You receive #500..?
500 ➗1460 = 34 kobo per day

3. You receive #200 to vote..?
See 200➗1460 = 13 kobo per day..!!

The question is how much do you value yourself..?

Is that what you are worth..?
They have bought your silence so that they and their children can live well.
Can you live on 13 kobo per day or even 68 kobo per day? Tom Tom sweet is 10 naira think twice before u decide.
God bless Nigeria.

vote wisely!!!

Buhari's popularity in the north is something that'll be a subject of research in years to come..... I don't really believe in crowd at rallies(PDP go also gather ground during their campaign-not this much crowd sha) but anyone who thinks Atiku would get more than 30 percent' in NW and 45 percent in NE is being delusional...... Walahi Buhari has a cult like following and a god like impression up north

As a man like "Buhari has a cult-like following and god-like impression up north'' you can then imagine the depth of draw back which northern Nigeria constitutes for southern Nigeria.

The Buharis of northern Nigeria created this scandal of politics as the only job for most northern youths.


The Buharis of northern Nigeria still exploit these youths in political rallies till now

I am angry.

Northern youths, change Buhari for good.

Buhari can't boast of one enterprise which employs labour.

Nigerian migrant commits suicide in Italy by jumping under a train after his request for residency permit was rejected

A 25-year-old Nigerian man, Prince Jerry, committed suicide on January 28 2019, by jumping under a train in Tortona, Genoa, Italy after his request for a residency permit for humanitarian reasons was rejected, Monsignor Giacomo Martino, the head of association Migrants, said on Thursday.

Martino, who is in charge of the association that helps migrants in the port-city, made the announcement in a chat group with his parishioners.

The message was subsequently shared on social media Wednesday night and published by local newspapers on Thursday.

Jerry's funeral will be held Friday morning, at the Chiesa dell'Annunziata in Genoa.

Meanwhile some of Jerry's friends have taken to Facebook to mourn him. Read posts below.

SoNature:
You are now the spokesman of Ndi Imo living outside Owerri.

Lamentation 1:1 o shi nini?

An interior village man like you from somewhere in Okigwe zone has no choice than take Owerri as his home town.

We from Orlu municipal LGA know that in 1976, when Imo state was created, they were only little differences in the levels of urbanization between Owerri and Orlu.


Why must the federal allocations for Orlu be used by Okorocha to build what suits him in Owerri?

ledamaster:
Just reread what you wrote. Every thibg you claim Rochas has done were done in Owerri. Not a single worthy project in Orlu. Pls go and compare it to what happened when they opened up the so called Area U. All Orlu needs is some of the institutions moved there, Like IMSU. A general and specialist Hospital or profession civil service Training institute.
Thing is why cant Orlu be allowed to have the entire IMSU? with that university there is no how That town and environs cant expabd and grow. Rochas might have tried in Owerri but its shameful when one decides to drive to outskirts. This is why certain interests have decided that the Owerri zone will.never be allowed to rule. Its only when people like you starts speaking truth and demanding equity and fairness, thats the only time others would also accept that they should be allowed to govern. Me am not here to fight, but state the fact. I was in Owerri recently, and was really impressed by what i saw, but a few minutes drive out side the city was really an eye opener. very pathetic to state the least. I teust this is why The Orlu and Okigwe Zones are rooting for Hope Uzodinma.

Nothing short of locating IMSU fully and permanently in Orlu zone can resolve the zoning impasse in Imo state.

arinzeejinkonye -Abagworo shall continue with Celebration of Owerri for Imo state on Nairaland but refuse to understand how rest of Imo outside Owerri feel bad because of how Okorocha's obsession for Owerri underdeveloped rest of Imo state which constitute 96% land mass of Imo state.

Okorocha is paying for his sins politically.

Peezol:
The Presidency on Wednesday gave reasons why President Muhammadu Buhari did not seek support for the All Progressives Congress candidates during the party’s rally held in Owerri, Imo State, on Tuesday.

It said the President addressed a mixed crowd of voters across political parties, who were united in endorsing his re-election, despite having their local candidates for other positions.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Garba Shehu, while speaking to journalists, explained that in such a mixed crowd, the President could not speak of support for the APC candidates alone but must talk about all the parties.

Shehu noted that this did not mean that the President did not want the APC candidates to win elections in Imo State, saying that Buhari was solidly behind his party’s candidates.

“The massive crowd that gathered to welcome President Buhari in Imo State was made up of not only supporters of the APC in the state, but also supporters of other parties who are united by their love for the President and their desire to see him re-elected, despite the local candidates they support,” Shehu told reporters.
The Presidency added that in the circumstances he found himself in Imo, the President could only advise the people who turned out to receive him to vote according to their conscience.

“While President Buhari is fully behind the APC, he welcomes endorsements from those who do not belong to the ruling party but is also sensitive to their support for non-APC candidates at the local level.

“It would have been insensitive of him to offend his non-APC supporters by ignoring their local affiliations,” Shehu stated.

He said by raising the hand of Senator Hope Uzodinma, the APC governorship candidate in Imo State, at the rally, Buhari had shown where his preference was and this did not call for a debate.

Shehu added, “President Buhari is for the APC in every state and there is no doubt about that, despite the immense cross-party support he is enjoying.”

Recall that while addressing the rally, Buhari did not mince word in urging the crowd to “vote for candidates of your choice across parties” to the chagrin of the APC members.
The people reacted by cheering and clapping for the President.

Governor Rochas Okorocha, who does not support Uzodinma’s governorship bid, joined in the cheering.

When the APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, realised the President’s error, he was seen trying to whisper to Buhari to make a correction.

The President then responded by telling the crowd again to vote for the APC candidates.
There is a big crack in the Imo APC, threatening its electoral fortunes next month.

While Okorocha wanted his son in-law, Uche Nwosu, to be the APC governorship candidate, the National Working Committee of the party endorsed the primaries conducted by the Uzodinma faction.

In December 2018, Nwosu, with the support of Okorocha, defected to the Action Alliance and became the party’s governorship candidate.

However, both the Okorocha group and the Uzodinma faction said they would vote for Buhari on February 16.

Lies from the pit of hell.


In Imo state, President Buhari had only two crowds made up of:


1) crowd mainly of Owerri boys which wants Third term for Okorocha by proxy of his son-in-law, Uche Nwosu;

2) larger crowd of APC which supports the APC candidates led by Hope Uzodima in Imo state.
