Where in Owerri zone is petrol found?
Stop this bunkum and serial lying - typical Owerri dud.

talk2percy:
South East dey inclusive? Lol...Nonsense, election fever. Deceitful government at work. Ok, 99.9 percent of the federal roads in Imo state are bad, Orlu in particular. There's no single motor able federal road in Orlu.

Because Okorocha sees only Owerri as Imo state, that's why the state and federal roads in Orlu are no-go areas.
Waiting for elections of 2019.

Abogwara:
Inside the multi storey open market built by Okorocha at Orlu.

Orlu urban lga needs a public university, and upgraded urban roads. There are already too many markets in Orlu urban lga.

Thanks to gov. Okororocha for the ongoing solar street lighting project in Orlu.

mrvitalis:
Rochas is messed up yes I know
But after traveling to Owerri las xmas I have a change of heart about him tho

His ideas are crazy in the good way but lacks the ability to make them work

We just need a governor who would just spend 100bn in 2years and put finishing touches to all his achievements and Owerri would be the best city in south south -south east ( yes better than Enugu and port harcourt )

As for apc and their election I don't care

Soludo or duke got my vote locked down if they don't contest then Ribadu if he doesn't contest the Buhari

If Owerri continues to be the only city in Imo state getting Rochas development attention, before long, Owerri shall become a ghetto city.

Pray that Orlu and Okigwe receive equal attention to Owerri.

In fact, Owerri has had enough of gov Okorocha's attention.

mrvitalis:
Let's have one city first

Have one city first?


Are you not one of those bushmen from Owerri who don't understand that cities in a state ought to be provided development infrastructures on equal basis?

benebaby77:
God, what have we done to deserve this?

I am still trying to understand this government and what it has achieved so far, none could come to mind.

73 people lost their life to the beast and till this moment nobody has been arrested!

Did anybody notice that no prominent people in the North has condemned this heinous acts perpetrates every day by Fulani herdsmen - this is to show that Hausa/Fulani are very trabalitisc set of people and the Nigerians should do in every ramifications to avoid them in a very sensitive position like President.

Why are Southern politicians are not condemning this acts? - it is very glaring that the no politicians in Nigeria has interest of the masses at their heart.


Imagine this Audi Ogeh can't even resign as a solidarity to the people who lost their life in his state yet he is talking about cattle colonies?

Is FG run cattle business and why must someone land be forcefully acquired by other businessmen in pursuing of their selfish interests?

Are Fulani/Herdsmen above the law that they can't be brought to book?

And till this moments Presidency has yet to condemn the activities of herdsmen...


Even though, I am not Igbo, I am kind of supporting the disintegration of Nigeria into sovereign geopolitical zone....

To all well-meaning Nigerians, please and please avoid voting for any Hausa/Fulani politicians into presidency... The disasters they have brought on us is enough....

Do you think it's only Igbos that support the disintegration of Nigeria?

It's only some politicians who do not support it, because they are feeding fat from the rot of Nigeria.

Cattle colony thing from the Fulani government of Nigeria may hit the final death nail on Nigeria.

christejames:
....... And why is he neglecting the state's university to rot away especially the teaching hospital at Orlu.

Gov Okorocha has invested much toward the development of Imo state University as he has built the University's campuses at Okigwe and Mbaise.

But the unwritten agreement so far is that the survival of Eastern Palm University is tied to the survival of Imo State University Teaching Hospital in Orlu, whether the teaching hospital is taken over by the federal government or not.

Rochas2023:
I thought they said Rochas is not doing any thing in orlu

If Gov. Rochas now modernizes Orlu - asphalt the Orlu urban roads created during the late 1970s, complete the urban drainage system, restore IMSUTH's glory - the sky may be his limit in Imo 2019 succession game.

Abagworo:
Okorocha was in Orlu and Okigwe yesterday and has started more works in Orlu including dualisation of the teaching hospital road and old Owerri road. Presently there is massive works going on in and around Okigwe. The media gang up against him cannot stand a bit.

If gov. Okorocha can now modernize Orlu - asphalt the city's urban roads created during the late 1970s, complete the urban drainage system, rehabilitate IMSUTH - the sky is his limit in 2019 succession plan.

Esseite:
There is no war coming, its just the divide and rule tactics dont work anymore..

.

But the divide and rule tactics still work on the peoples of the South-south Region.

If the non-Igbos of the Southsouth team up with the Igbos for a nation outside Nigeria, there shouldn't have been these gnashing of teeth and shading of tears of today in the entire South of Nigeria.

drdanny:
Don't be silly

Visit Nsukka alone and cry for your foolishness

Today's modernity in Nsukka is because Gov. Ugwuanyi understands that Enugu State is not only about the capital city - Enugu.

In Imo State, it's like now official by Okorocha government that only Owerri is Imo state. Owerri people welcomed the idea.

Okorocha government and Owerri now use Imo to describe Owerri. Every government development in Owerri - 10 lane streets, flyovers, tunnels, taxis, etc, are called Imo,

Meanwhile, Imo state outside Owerri decays.

Crooks have made Owerri to become Imo state.


The streets of Orlu, worse Carrot Junction, were also flooded yesterday.


Orlu Urban drainage system started by former governor Ikwechegh not completed.

Abagworo:
Those who visited Orlu were wowed too. Try visit Eastern palm University at Ogboko.

Kwontinnu to believe that you are talking to kids in the kindergarten.

Ogboko in Ideato South lga may not even feel the impact of TOTALLY FENCED OFF Eastern Palm university, Ogboko, talk less, far away Orlu.

Eastern Palm University has everything, including hotels, hostels, staff housing, sports complexes, shopping centers, etc, such that staff and students of the University shall have no need to venture outside the University campus.

If Okorocha had allowed some of the last Federal Housing Scheme to be built between Ogboko and Orlu for staff of the University to link Orlu to Ogboko...
.. Instead, he directed that all those federal housing be built in Owerri.

PhockPhockMan:
Clap for yourself, Imo State has 27 local government area, out of which your celebrating with pictures taken in one local government.

Plus and Minus, APC and Okorocha are monumental failures in Imo State.

The Osun State guy with photos of development projects from all over Osun State has punctured Abagworo's bubble over Owerri.


In 2012, gov. Okorocha promised to spend N50 billion on modernization of Orlu.

The Promised Sports stadium for Orlu - no way.


The promised six-lane road on New Owerri Road Orlu - non existing.

Promised Prince Hotel Orlu - nothing.

Promised urban drainage system for Orlu - nothing.

You can curse and spit on Okorocha government if you drive on Orlu urban roads.

Seeing the dilapidated roads around the Imo International Market Orlu, you can quickly conclude that Okorocha is deliberately squeezing Orlu to coma.

Abagworo:
90% of those who returned this season unanimously agree so you might belong to the 10%.

In your mind, Imo state is Owerri. Same goes for gov. Okorocha. Owerri was empty during the Xmas.
Orlu was filled to the brim.

But Orlu is in ruins outside the four roads expanded by Okorocha government in 2013.

Election day 2019 shall decide whether or not Imo state is only Owerri.

Abagworo:
Even ABSU is not as solid as Eastern Palm University built by Okorocha at Orlu.

Even the most solid building structures in IMSU Owerri and IMOPOLY Umuagwo, were built by Okorocha government. Methinks, Okorocha has to defy the location argument surrounding IMSU Owerri, in his bid to placate Owerri for his Eastern Palm University in Ogboko.

But Okorocha's later-day sorefooted attitude towards IMSUTH Orlu detracts a lot from his efforts to placate all in Imo state.

All said, no Imo governor has changed for good the landscape of Imo State more than Rochas Okorocha.

jamjo:
Why can't this man do one project that is worthy to be celebrated? Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well. This is a university for God's sake, Just see the pictures below this are secondary schools in Osun state that receives the lowest allocation in Nigeria. I know is still ongoing project but just look at the building.

In Imo state, State institutions are not developed because fierce arguments linger over the locations of the institutions.

IMSU OWERRI OF ABOUT 25 YEARS HAS NO BUILDING STRUCTURE BEFITTING A UNIVERSITY.

IMSUTH ORLU OF 15 YEARS HAS BETTER BUT HARDLY NO BUILDING STRUCTURE BEFITTING A UNIVERSITY TEACHING HOSPITAL.

IMOPOLY UMUAGWO IS NOT DIFFERENT.

Clannish politics in Imo state spearheaded by Owerri is responsible for the stunted development of State institutions in Imo State;

because Owerri do everything in the books to make any government project to be in Owerri, and do everything in the books to stifle every State project not located in Owerri area.

For example, the year IMSU was born, rest of Imo state outside Owerri argued against location of IMSU in Owerri But Owerri-born former governor of Imo state, Evan Enwerem, defied all the arguments, located IMSU in Owerri despite the availability of a large university facility at the closed Alvan College Campus in Orlu, despite the existence of FUTO, ALVAN and POLYNEKEDE in Owerri before then.

With Lingering arguments over location in Imo, every state governor builds shanties for buildings, while neighbouring states build solid structures for their public institutions as they see everywhere in their state as part of their state.

But Owerri do not see outside Owerri as part of Imo state.

ChimaAgbalajob:
Question is


Is Rochas an Owerri man?

If the answer is negative, then blame Rochas and not Owerri people.

Rochas Okorocha did not start the phenomenon of "only Owerri must be a modern City in Imo state." He only increased/exacerbated the phenomenon.

The phenomenon is an unofficial policy of many people from Owerri CAPITAL CITY who constrain every new governor to maintain Owerri as only City that can emerge from Imo state.

Kingsley10000:
ROCHAS SHOULD UPGRADE ORLU AND OKIGWE CITY

Land owners of Owerri may slap you for suggesting that Imo governor upgrades Orlu and Okigwe.

They would rather Imo State governors build Owerri to develop join with Port Harcourt ;

they would rather a square meter of landed property in Owerri area cost as much as in New York while Orlu and Okigwe remain backward villages.

Engineer Iwuanyabwu has pestered every Imo state governor to dredge and develop Nworie River in Owerri into a beach front for enjoyment, after flyovers and tunnels in Owerri, but there are hardly any good roads in Orlu And Okigwe.

He and others from Owerri insist that Imo State University teaching hospital, Orlu and the soon to start FUTO Teaching Hospital must be in Owerri. They now use every trick in the books to convince apolitical Rochas Okorocha to suffocate and finally relocate Imo State University teaching hospital Orlu to Owerri.

The State Library Owerri was established by East Central State Government based in Enugu, but Owerri has not allowed a state library in any other lga of Imo State.

Alvan Ikoku College of Education, Orlu Campus was closed down by Owerri immediately after Mbakwe who established it left office. The campus would have become a full university before now


Owerri has utilized its share of Mbakwe govts multi-billion Naira regional water supply project, while similar regional water supply projects earmarked same time for Orlu and Okigwe have not been realized; and now Owerri is asking for a second regional water supply scheme before those of Orlu and Okigwe can be realized.


Ask an average Owerri person why all these: his/her answer must be: because Owerri is the STATE CAPITAL. But that is most ridiculous/foolish answer, because there is no constitutional provision that a state governor must use the state's resources to build infrastructures in the state capital far ahead of any other city, town or lga in the state.


Pray, next world, Orlu and Okigwe MUST NOT belong to the same state with Owerri. Greed, excessive greed .....

sshalom:
May GOD have mercy over Nigeria with this unbridled blood letting.

If you cry too much, one Nigerians forever shall tag you omo-Igbo, ,Inyamiri, why you want divide their beautiful kwontry, Naijeriyaaaa?

kraftyiyk:
Welcome to Nigeriaaaa!!

My the soul of the faithful departed rest in peace.

....and one often asks: why did I come from the country called Nigeria?

Shiifi:
He only way not to b bothered about these Buhari Administration

She must pay N250/liter of petrol to generate electricity to play her X-Box.
So Buhari govt is still holding her on the jugular, the same way Buhari govt nearly stopped house building in Nigeria when in one night the price of Cement was catapulted from N1300 to N2800.

Three senatorial zones make up a state.

But a state governor, Rochas Okorocha, RECREATED the state of Imo to become one senatorial zone - Owerri.

Once in a while, Okorocha government extends a pittance to Orlu and Okigwe zones.

Rochas Okorocha's cheer leaders cheer the governor to political oblivion after May 29, 2019 as he governs only Owerri zone..

Beremx:
I am in Owerri too. Will be leaving to Orlu tomorrow. it's good to be home. Abagworo are you the tall guy jogging?


What the heck is Rochas building in Owerri biko? I saw so many abandoned projects in Orlu on my way home to Owerri yesterday. O gi ni n'eme?

Beware, if you mention Orlu and its roads abandoned by Okorocha government, Rochas will reply you with building a new six lanes or Inland Road in Owerri, even where no body lives by.

Nepotism, Extremely Hard hearted - Rochas Okorocha and his government.



Rochas Okorocha is not from Orlu; not from Okigwe.

He therefore chose Owerri as only place worthy of his government's development projects.



Orlu and Okigwe have become dustbins of Imo state under Rochas Okorocha.

In the History of Imo State, no governor has been so sectional, so hate-filled--

Even Four Wheel Drive SUVs can no longer pass through the internal roads in Orlu urban, except the four roads (about 5km total) dualized in Orlu in 2012.

gidgiddy:
Why would Ohaneze caution someone against exercising their constitutionally guaranteed right of freedom of speech?

How laughable. The Lagos/Ibadan expressway media turned an Igbo idiomatic expression Kanu uttered into a threat against Buhari.



Nigerians can be brainless. Fulani herdsmen are slaughtering you people daily, Boko Haram is decimating you people daily, cultist are killing daily and Militants in the Niger Delta are blowing up pipelines.

But a brainless Nigerian is far more interested in Kanu who has not touched anyone. Only a complete morron will support the government deploying troops against unarmed, non violent people when there many armed and violent groups out there who require much more attention.

Operation Python dance was an illegality and an act of pure evil which will expose the government next year when the court judgement is delivered.

That's what diffidence - inability to understand that one can survive without others - caused some Nigerians.

That's behind the stupiiid blackmail against Kanu.

They call Kanu mad, but they are indeed the mad ones.

raker300:
Buhari doesn’t know what he did..

Even children in the east now know nigeria and Nigerians hate them.

The biafran dreams has successfully been instilled in the younger igbo generation.

That was kanu’s plan all along..to bring the fight for biafra to “every” Igbo

Words on marble.

freeze20:
The guy is doing a great job in Owerri, Imo state. He may not be liked now, but in the future, people will get to appriciate this guy. I don't like politicians, but I have respect for this dude and his vision.

Does Owerri like Okorocha for those good deeds in Owerri?


In Orlu, Okorocha in pursuit of his private businesses has used every skill to kill and relocate the state's University teaching hospital from Orlu to Owerri.

This time, he tells people he wants to merge the teaching hospital to FMC Owerri.

Abagworo:
Gradually things are shaping up and one cant help but appreciate the quality of roads in Owerri.

This non-Igbo man still de leave the impression that Owerri is Imo state.

A state was created for uniform development of the state.
It's illegal for a state governor to concentrate his development efforts only in the state capital, while other parts of the state decay - as in Imo state of Okorocha.
Rome Empire uniformly built other Roman cities' infrastructures the same time Rome was being built.

Una attended Almajiri school in your north, but come to Imo state to promote Apartheid governance system - politically and economically over-empower the land owners and indegene from the state capital, but impoverish people in the other areas of the state outside Owerri.
You have nobody to educate you on the EVILS OF APARTHEID SYSTEM.

uboma:
Kaduna and Plateau are states where you can get by so easily.


What do you have against the Northern region?

Because northern region made Nigeria a country where if the northern region is not advancing fast due to the region's cultural and religious practices, rest of Nigeria is also drawn back by northern region



Northern region's soldiers proliferated too many undue states in the north by foul use of land mass as criterion. Northern politicians thus draw undue political over-representation from the undue large number of northern states to dictate the pace of Nigeria for everybody, and refuse restructuring in a democracy.


Nigeria is fast failing over by this political system.

suxkill:
Pls Sarraki,Madridguy,Ngeneukwenu and other nairaland resident zombies should tell us were they have hidden Maina.

Before long,all these corruption stories surrounding Buhari shall be buried. Northerners don't get victimized for stealing Nigeria's money.
Did Buhari not say that Abacha was not corrupt, yet Nigerians made him president.
In normal countries, that statement of Buhari clearing Abacha of corruption should have made Buhari a suspect.

Isokowadoo:
Buhari is an epidemic to d black race

Buhari going to talk about investing in the youth?

This is same Buhari who as HoS Thirty-four years ago told Nigeria's youths that the youths must prepare as Future leaders of the country.


But Thirty-four years after, Buhari still wouldn't allow those youths lead the country.

Buhari is still winning elections and ruling Nigeria through profiting from the rigged political structure of Nigeria;
a skewed political structure where his fellow northern soldiers proliferated twenty states in his old northern region, but allowed only seventeen states in the old two southern regions. Buhari refuses political restructuring in a democratic process.

dukie25:
Biggest snake in the north.
You only have to read what he wrote about Buhari in the past to understand this man's treachery and betrayal.

He also knelt before El-Zakzaky.

El-Rufai and Atiku share one thing in common: their every political move is only geared at presidential power remaining in northern Nigeria.

That's why Atiku is now leaving APC to grab PDP Presidential candidacy in order to ensure that the two presidential candidates in 2019 for the two major political parties are from the north.
