On this day, people of Imo state shall reclaim their state from the Mayor of Owerri, Rochas Okorocha.

In six years, Mayor Okorocha used federal allocations to the 27 lgas of Imo State, as well as the state's federal allocations, to demolish, rebuild, often duplicate, triplicate or even quadruple whatever project he likes in Owerri. He wants to be seen in Owerri as presidential material.

The rest of Imo state outside Owerri stagnates, decay, written off.

Who posted this thing here when the masses are suffering?

Kobicove:
This joke of a governor loves self aggrandizement!

Who on this planet can say what sins Orlu committed against Rochas Okorocha by giving him the highest number of votes in 2011?

Orlu risked everything if Ohakim had won in 2011.

But it has become political suicide for Orlu to give Rochas Okorocha the highest number of 30000+ votes, highest than any of the 27 lgas in the first ballot; votes that assured Okorocha for the supplementary elections against PDP's rigging machinery then.

Okorocha, Orlu shall never forgive you for the sins you committed against us. You have one year to retrace your steps.

ikorodureporta:

All five universities and polytechnics in Imo state are in or nearest Owerri.

Orlu which has no tertiary institution gave the highest number of votes to Rochas Okorocha in 2011 and begged him to establish a public tertiary institution in Orlu area.

Instead, Okorocha built another university campus in Owerri Mbaise-Nor-Okpalla.
He built a new college of education in Okigwe zone.

But he built his private university in his hometown Ogboko. It's common knowledge that private university has little or no benefit to the area it's located.

Okorocha sold his political credit in Imo state beginning in Orlu.

nototribalist:
if I hear, he's just punishing them for not voting him for second term. He rigged himself into power.

Which vote?

Orlu lga voted highest - 30000+ votes for Rochas in 2011. But Rochas practically declared war of underdevelopment against Orlu.

Rochas destroyed more roads in Orlu after dualizing about 5km existing roads which he placed street lamps upon and says he has made Orlu a city.

Alas the demolition must be for Okorocha's private business interest.

This is road leading to Imo state university teaching hospital Orlu scrapped by Rochas Okorocha since 2012, for his private business interest, to make IMSUTH non-viable in its present location, so that he finds reason to trade IMSUTH with Owerri for him to fully own Eastern Palm University in his hometown in Ideato south lga.

Gov. Okorocha governs only Owerri.

Mbakwe governed Imo with Aba, Owerri, Okigwe, Orlu and Umuahia as cities.
Mbakwe provided in every city what he provided in others. He even provided for lgas and their HQs.

Emmalez:
According to reports coming from Owerrie, Imo state capital. Gov Roachas led administration has moved his demolision execise to Dan Anyiam Plaza opposite the stadium after the Eke ukwu market demolision which took the life of a young boy few weeks back.

JEEEEZ!! OMG!!!

Who did this to Imo people? Demolition, destruction, invalidation -


Is he going to build another of his City Schools here?

Owerri people lament over Okorocha building City School on every corner of their town.

Gov Okorocha asked the heads of his Owerri City Schools to use Cut-off marks to select applicants.

In 98% of Imo state, lots of secondary school roofs are blown away since 2012, no roads leading to the schools, Okorocha does not care, so long as they are not in Owerri.

Okorocha wants people to see the Owerri City schools and his other white elephant projects in Owerri and begin to take him for a presidential material.

Because He is a thief

BUBU IS AN ECONOMIC TERRORIST. SINCE HE CAME ON BOARD, HE HAS KILLED THE ECONOMY WITH HIS INCOMPETENCY AND THE MASSIVE STEALLING THAT IS TAKING PLACE UNDER HIM.

BUBU IS A PUNISHMENT TO THE MUMUNESS OF SOME ZOMBIE NIGERIANS WHO WASTED THEIR VOTES ON HIs empty skull

CEMENT PRICE CONSPIRACY.

ONE ECONOMIC TERRORISM OF BUHARI GOVT IS CEMENT PRICE JUMPING OVERNIGHT FROM N1300 TO N2700 PER 100KG BAG EARLY THIS YEAR.
NO ECONOMIC THEORY SUPPORTS SUCH ASTRONOMICAL PRICE RISE.
NAIRA EXCHANGE AGAINST THE DOLLAR WAS LOW THEN, SO PEOPLE TAUGHT THE SUDDEN RISE WAS BECAUSE OF UNCERTAINTY.

SEVEN MONTHS AFTER THE NAIRA BECAME STRONGER, CEMENT PRICE STILL REMAINS N2700 PER 100 KG BAG.

BUHARI'S NORTH DO NOT BUILD TOO MUCH WITH CEMENT, EXCEPT IN THE CITIES. DANGOTE IS SOLE DISTRIBUTOR OF CEMENT IN NIGERIA.

FULANI HAS BEEN PLAYING WITH OIL MONEY SINCE THE 1970S BECAUSE SOME SOME PROMINENT NON-IGBO SOUTHSOUTH PEOPLE ARE YET TO FULLY SIGN ON TO RESTORATION OF BIAFRA OF FISCAL FEDERALISM.

Despite the proscription of IPOB by southeast governors and army/FG's declaration of the group as a terrorist group,Ebonyi state IPOB today 6th October 2017 inaugurated its Ikenyi Zone group in Izzi LGA Ebonyi.

JOKERS ARE THOSE WHO SAID THEY HAVE PROSCRIBED IPOB.

PARASITES ARE THOSE WHO SAY THEY HAVE PROSCRIBED IPOB.

IGNORAMUSES ARE THOSE WHO SAY THEY HAVE PROSCRIBED IPOB.

DO YOU PROSCRIBE A PEACEFUL, BANNER-WAVING, AND UNARMED IPOB FOR ASKING FOR RESTORATION OF BIAFRA?

FOR WHAT? BECAUSE FULANI IN GOVT WANTS TO FINALLY AND FULLY COLONIZE CRUDE OIL IN THE NIGERDELTA.

psucc:
This Abians never fail to amuse. Wike was merely avoiding arthritis occasioned by bumpy roads and the stench from refuse dumps and gutters and somebody is here clapping.

Even though I am not from Abia I supported Ikpeazu to win the election hoping he will wipe away the reproach of Aba in particular. But he is working not at snail speed but Buhari speed.

And you are happy about the bumpy federal roads. Tomorrow you yearn for continuation of wan Naijeryaaaa. You say IPOB are terrorists. IPOB who say no more to federal neglect of the east.

Opakan2:
Enemy within..

Exactly the same thing biafra freedom seekers are facing. Their masses want out whereas the politicians don't.
Someone should help me with that trained biafran soldier meme biko.

Biafra politicians and soldiers also want out of Nigeria, it's only a matter of time before they fully come open for Biafra.

Rome was not built in a day.

Nigeria has failed the 170 million people in it, no more remedies.

1kingwriter:
A better economy makes the prison unimportant. In Europe the economy and social welfare has kept prisons empty.
Of course years ago a prison in Europe is better than our 5star hotel.

Governments no longer run prisons in many parts of the world. Imprisonment is even no more emphasized for convicts, except for habitual criminals and sex offenders who are likely to be dangerous to society if left outside prison. Hard to imagine what Okorocha thinks he is doing with prison.

In the same Avu area near Obinze, , FUTO has acquired vast acres of land where it shall soon start a university teaching hospital. So prison and teaching hospital side by side is not funny.

Abagworo:
Don't mind the doctored reportage. The prisons and police headquarters located at the heart of Owerri is simply being relocated to Avu town which is only about 8 kilometers away. Okorocha has built more schools and hospitals than any Governor in Nigeria.

Name any functioning hospital in Imo state except Federal medical centre.

Roads to Imo state university teaching hospital Orlu were deliberately scrapped or abandoned by Gov. Okorocha, because he wants to relocate IMSUTH to Owerri to placate Owerri when he shall announce that remaining govt shares in his Eastern Palm University in his home town has been fully purchased by a private organization - Rochas Foundation. Since 2012, IMSUTH started to quench, salaries owed doctors to make them leave, darkness all over IMSUTH at night, he refused to go for accreditation of medical courses. Alas, last October, Okorocha called barely-informed local chiefs in Orlu and told them to sign that IMSUTH is not viable in Orlu. As if he did not know that even if you locate a hospital in a cave, so long as the owner of the hospital runs it efficiently, patients from all over the world shall visit for cure. He so much infuriated the pillars of Imo state with that IMSUTH act.

But by 2007, IMSUTH was so viable that it was rated among the best ten teaching hospitals in Nigeria.
Just 1/1000th of money which Okorocha uses to build prison, inland roads, flyovers, tunnels, 8 to 10 lanes streets in Owerri could have asphalted the 1km road to IMSUTH which Okorocha abandoned since 2012.

Dud, Okorocha is overplaying his malicious ways. Yours Truly sacrificed a lot to have him elected in 2011. But let him mend his ways, make you help remind him that 2019, he shall be out of govt house.

Obi1kenobi:
And so what? How much money did you or your family donate to his foundation? Did any big man from Imo donate money to his foundation and Rochas rejected them? As I said before, better get common sense and grow up and stop drowning in your hatred. People like you are the reason Igbos are easily the most resented, distrusted tribe in the country. And people like you are the reason Igbos are absolutely hopeless in politics: a majority tribe with a minority mentality who lack the tact and diplomacy to build alliances with other people. Then start crying "marginalization" when you're relegated to the background.

If you are truly Igbo, you need to go back to school to get good education. Much of Imo people are educated; can differentiate between right and wrong.


But I can bet my card 99.9% certainty that you are not Igbo.
When the days of the Empire expire soon, Imo people shall speak, say the right things, and pick up the pieces from there.

Enuff said.

Arewans fear possible dissolution of Nigeria more than they fear leprosy or Book Harm

If these SE governors had keyed into IPOB struggles, one of them would have been hurriedly prepared by Arewa king makers as next president of Nigeria.


But the governors flopped at the sight of Arewa's military tanks in Umuahia.

If Rochas Okorocha can hire a million white mami waters to match for him in Owerri, it's a promise that Orlu shall sink Rochas Okorocha's political career in Imo state by 2019.

Abagworo:
More from the procession.

Loooooool
The madness induced by hatred and incurable malice a state governor has for people in an area of the state is manifesting in rented mami water white robed women

If the governor had done his obligations to Orlu from where he got the highest support and votes in 2011; he needed not hire white robed women in Owerri.

ColonelDrake:
You can now see the reason why I support iPod but y'all are too emotional to see the big picture. Ipob is a means to an end. Their agitations made a lot of things to happen. People are now seeing that one Nigeria is a fraud and the biggest scam. Fine, we Yorubas have been advocating for restructuring long since before kanu came on board but we cannot deny the fact that Ipob agitations played a key role in making states and Southerners to stand up and speak in favour of restructuring.

But you guys were so happy that the military dealt with ipob. you were having hard on about the military invasion and killing of unarmed protesters. Y'all happy about the demise of Ipob.

Now, that ipob have been decimated, what next? I wonder why you guys don't know that this military invasion was a tactics by the Hausa Fulani to kill every agitation and demand for restructuring. They thought ipob is making people to speak up and demand for justice. They see it and know that impact of ipob. Ever since that Ibadan summit, The north has been unsettled. They made an unanimous decision to eliminate KANU once and for all, damning all consequences. Now it is done and y'all are happy.

it's fine. Mark my words - we should all kiss restructuring good bye. Once again, the southerners have lost. note this.

Funny enough, when someone speaks the real truth, you're always keen to say they're not Yoruba. isn't this surprising that a statement such as this is coming from you:

"Those asking for Biafra are far much more sensible than my Yoruba people that are asking for regionalism.
Nigeria is all about crude oil!"

So what makes you different from me and Alcatraz?
We should also start questioning your Yorubaness since that's all you do when slapped with hard facts.

cc.Alcatraz005
Blackfase

Yoruba is asking for regionalism just for passing time, until oil proceeds may not flow much. Regionalism cannot work anymore. You can't ask a Yoruba from Ekiti or Lagos to return to Ibadan as regional capital

Neither can you expect an Owerri man who is used to seeing that every development in Imo must be meant only for Owerri capital city to return to Enugu for regional capital.

Those agitation for Biafra were right, because it is not possible to restructure Nigeria politically anymore.

SalamRushdie:
Those benefiting from the status quo have spoken ... .its clear the north doesn't mean well for Nigeria

And as the Yoruba and Igbo fight each other for which of the two gets a better crumb, what Kano and Katsina states alone say remains a law in Nigeria.

More than 90% of Yoruba do not understand that land mass is not used as yardstick to create new political units in a country formed by many regions. So north gets away still with the twenty new political units which northern soldiers forcefully created in one northern region, but allowed only seventeen units in two southern regions. This particular structure of 36 states and Abuja makes northern politicians derive political over-representation to lord it over all of Nigeria.

If Igbo say restructure or dissolve the country of unequal partners, Yoruba shall respond with hostility that Igbo wants to seize the oil wells in the non-Igbo southsouth.

Just visited. The mob of hatefulness eating up the politics of a state governor is sinking deeper.
Loooooool.

Hatred for an area and its people who gave the governor the highest support and number of votes in 2011 - that's what made Imo state become a state where nothing meaningful is heard anymore about areas outside the state capital.

When is the National Assembly empowering the local government councils to collect and spend their allocations? Rest of Imo state is going down the drain for the state capital, no thanks to a governor who does not understand that he is flouting the law and constitution through his Imo of one city - Owerri -only project.

Why do the IPOBS hate this man? This man is a man with the sword of truth and love.

Truthful person before una is person that wants dead Nigeria to continue exist.

Arondizuogu:
Arondizuogu is in Ideato North LG in IMO State. Not in Orlu.

Ideato North LG is in Okigwe Senate district? I used to think that Ideator North LG is in Orlu senatorial district.

datola:
Hmmm.. Lawyers and their wahala.

If the military has a good defense counsel the prayers of Kanu's lawyer does not hold water. Please note I'm not in any way in support of the military action.

It is so simple and it is so because there was never a military operation to capture Kanu. The military was just conduction it's normal operations across the country and some hoodlums attacked them and caused threats to lives of ordinary citizens so the soldiers chased them to different locations within Aba community.

Please note the popular saying: "Lawyers are lairs" The lies I was fed that made me not to study law.

Janjawereed lawyer.
Midnight lawyer.


IPOB does not attack soldiers and their tanks.

People were hired before hand to throw rocks on military tankers. Even that is no justification for trained soldiers to open fire on the rock-throwing civilians.

About 28 civilians were killed in Nnamdi Kanu's in the attempt to abduct Kanu.


It's a sin for the Igbo sharing one Nigeria with your lot.

The same constitution that is causing groups to pull out of Nigeria is what Saraki asked them to respect.

Saraki/Senate urged those on agitation for separate states from Nigeria to follow constitutional means.

Which Constitution? The same constitution supervised by northern Nigeria's military dictators. The major bone of contention cannot be the solution for the contention.

Owerri people see tunnels and flyovers as symbols of Owerri becoming a Mega Metropolitan City. But in reality, flyovers and tunnels are very disadvantageous to a city because they waste space and cause too much obstruction, apart from being very expensive to erect and sustain.

Tunnels and flyovers are the last resort which urban city planners go to in a city not well planned.

Hatred for people in one other city in Imo state is reason why the governor made Owerri the only city he knows for development in Imo state, after expanding about 5 km of existing roads in Orlu and Okigwe in 2012 but left many more kilometers abandoned in Orlu and Okigwe since 2012.

And it's believed that no Jupiter can ever make Okorocha return to Orlu and Okigwe to complete those abandoned roads.

Adaowerri111:
Please avoid Concord junction tunnel for now. Also inform your loved ones living in Owerri.

But Owerri people were praising and shouting "Owelle Mere Ya" - Owelle has done great - when Gov. Owelle Rochas Okorocha was building tunnels where there were no hills in Owerri, where roundabouts or traffic lights would have perfectly served human and vehicular traffics;

They praised when Okorocha was building flyovers in Owerri at junctions where roundabouts or traffic lights would have perfectly served traffic.

As Owelle was building those structures including 5 Inland roads where no body lived, where just one of those Inland roads could have perfectly served the purpose, there were practically no more passable roads in Orlu and Okigwe, the two other principal cities in Imo state.

No Owerri man reminded their Owelle that Orlu and Okigwe are also parts of Imo state.

GreenCap:
but the 2014 confab proposed 18 new states...

Anioma to retain Asaba
and Delta goes with Warri

igboid rivers upland gets Orashi state

and rivers lowland to bear Rivers state

idomas Apa moves to Oturkpo
and tivs Benue keeps Makurdi

Ogoja, formerly the provincial headquarter of Abakaliki, exit Cross River

Adada can have Nsukka as capital

and so on

NW +2, NE +3, NC +3
SW +3, SS +3, SE +4

Igbos will be blessed with 11 states:
9 from SE and 2 from SS

the Eastern heartland Imo retains Owerri

Njaba to Orlu

Etiti to Okigwe

all these naming of states after rivers should flow riches across the land...
Ogun, Ondo, Osun

Sokoto, Kano, Zamfara

Kaduna, Gurara, Katagum

Niger, Benue, Gongola

Anambra, Imo, Ebonyi

Orashi, Njaba, Adada

Cross, aQua Iboe,
Bayelsa

proudly Imo state

You shall be cursed for dreaming about Owerri and Orlu to still remain in the same state if new states are created.
Owerri man, did you not see that Anim or Njaba state with 12lgas of Orlu zone and Anambra South was recommended by the 2014 CONFAB?

Owerri petition writing specialists have cornered 99% of development projects in Imo ,yet ask for closure of other projects outside Owerri, and get them relocated to Owerri.

Owerri has used every governor of Imo state sotay, we have two giant cities in Owerri, with all federal housing allocations, six universities and polytechnics in Imo located in Owerri. Meanwhile, Orlu and Okigwe that were nearly on the same level of urbanization with Owerri in 1976 when Owerri was named capital, still remain with nothing.

May any dream about Owerri and Orlu still remaining in the same state when new states are created be cancelled now IJN.
