You are correct, but how do you power skyscrapers without electricity?

Do you know there are communities that haven't had light for about 2years in Imo state? Do you know the light in Owerri from Egbu to Nekede area is epileptic?

So, how will the skyscrapers be powered?

(Please, don't say generators or solar)

They may now be lobbying gov Uzodinma to build skyscrapers in Owerri to, according to them as usual, make Owerri look like OTHER STATES CAPITAL CITIES, the same way they lobbied Ohakim and Okorocha to build FLYOVERS in Owerri to make Owerri look like other capital cities.

Most annoying thing from this Owerri people is that they don’t want to see that common urban drainage system does not exist anywhere outside Owerri in Imo state, no sustainable public water supply system exists anywhere outside Owerri in Imo state, no public university exists anywhere outside Owerri in Imo state, yet they push every governor of Imo state into wasting scarce funds to build vainglorious boulevards and other edifices in Owerri.

Where are the flyovers and tunnels they literally forced Okorocha to build in Owerri where roundabout or traffic lights would have been better?

Dedetwo:


Bros I have already told the dude that there exist some kind of critical path method or even template governments employ when they embark on infrastructural development. Sometime, potential for return of capital fund is considered. The issue with dude remains lack of factual facts. He claimed Evens Enwerem established IMSU. However IMSU was established in 1981 while Even Enwerem became governor in 1992 and stayed only six months before he was booted out. Now if the dude cannot get the factual facts correctly one wonders where he pulls his facts.

What template in governance justifies yearly demolition and rebuilding by successive governors of Imo state in your Owerri area while rest of Imo state remain wretched?

Stop being selfish.

Population of Owerri is about 850,000 people. Population of Orlu is about 430,000. Google.

Owerri has about 200,000 students who come and leave. So what capital investment can government do in Orlu that can’t yield, unless you sabotage it?

You lice-like there must learn to invest your capital in your Owerri zone, but let IMSG invest its capital in all parts of the state.

Enwerem from Owerri zone governed Imo state for 20 months from 1991 to 1993. Common research, you can’t make. Put Evan Enwerem on Google search.

Enwerem saw FUTO, AICE and Polynekede in Owerri zone, yet he established IMSU in Owerri. That’s capital investment in Imo state which you wanted to lecture us about?

I often regret to condescending to join in roads roads roads discussion here.

Nit wits on this thread in Imo state don’t even know that treated pipe borne water supply for all in Imo state is more important than roads they crave for the state capital.

It’s a pity.

Imo state Commissioner for Works have been naming every road and track route in the state capital he has completed or about to complete, and the water supply project of Owerri zone.

But I don’t know if he thinks people in his Mgbidi hometown deserve treated public water supply system.

asha80:
this you take has no bearing if you ask me..you cabt be shouting orlu and think anywhere outside orlu no follow.. and migbidi man is more related to orlu man than egbama so dead this your narrarive..you have castigated ideato saying is not orlu because of rochas..you have once castigate egbema that it is nearer oweri than orlu and now you are now castigating people from either oru east or west? So to you now ihedioha you were critiquing is an owerri man no longer mbaise man right?

You can spew yarn to suit your interests but truth remains:

2007 to 2019, politicians with pin-size intelligence thought Orlu urban LGA is property of former governor Achike Udenwa. They destroyed nearly every government development project in Orlu.

Okorocha enlarged four roads in Orlu urban LGA, that lead to the main road to his Ideato South home.

Orlu urban roads were laid since the 1970s. But just about 2% of them were paved during Udenwa’s govt. Those paved were left to decay.

Imo government has destroyed and rebuilt some urban roads in Owerri more than three times since then.
Those who created states didn’t imagine that what has been happening in Imo state could be.

Ikengawo:


what do nigerians gain from exaggeration? If not for the sensible ones among us that posted the nice videos of Owerri you would be saying the same.

Ikega from Awomamma

You deceive yourself and ENTERTAIN those of you here who don’t believe that government development projects in Imo state can go beyond the state capital, Owerri.


This road in Orlu municipal local government area leads to IMSUTH in Orlu. The road has been like this since APC came to Imo state.

98% of urban roads in Orlu are more or less like this. Una no shame for Imo state. This type of road can’t exist anywhere else in Nigeria.

Imo APC still exists in this part of Orlu zone. If Imo APC does not change its trade mark of demolishing and rebuilding and demolishing and rebuilding in state capital but abandoned rest of the state, we shall soon set to ROOT OUT APC TOTALLY from Imo state.

People who live in Owerri capital territory judge Imo APC not from what’s rebuilt in Owerri, but from development projects in their hometowns.

Yampotatocarrot:


Finally, someone from Orlu zone has come out to say things as they are.

I've always wondered why these guys ALWAYS blame Owerri people for their predicaments, instead of calling their people out.

Thanks for saying the truth. I'll love to hear his reply to your statement

Some shoot-my-self-on-the-feet persons from Oru-Awoomamma up to Ohaji in Orlu senatorial district would rather have all development projects of government to be in Owerri, instead of anywhere in Orlu or elsewhere in Orlu zone.

Did you not read an Oru-Awo handler here questioning why anybody would ask for removal of any development project like tertiary education institutions clustered in Owerri, from Owerri to any other place in Imo state?

One Mgbidi man, Ralph Nwosu, who is Imo Works Commissioner has refused to reconstruct any urban roads in Orlu, not even the roads given out by Ihedioha for reconstruction in Orlu. But he is proud displaying online the urban roads of Okigwe and Owerri his Works Ministry has either completed or completing.

Result: that Mgbidi-Awo to Ohaji side of Orlu zone gets nothing from government, Orlu and rest of Orlu zone get nothing from government.

Ikengawo:


what do nigerians gain from exaggeration? If not for the sensible ones among us that posted the nice videos of Owerri you would be saying the same.

Ok. Sensible man, you needed to have posted any photos of Orlu here to debunk my assertion.

Present Imo state was created with Owerri, Orlu and Okigwe as urban centres.

Since 2007, ndi arurala and most poorly educated in charge of Imo state relegated Orlu and Okigwe to rural area status, waste the state’s resources on building and demolishing and rebuilding and rebuild infrastructures in Owerri; because Owerri people bamboozled them that state capital must be developed first before any other place in the state.

After telling Ohakim and Okorocha to build us flyovers and tunnels in Owerri to make Owerri look like other big cities, they are now telling present leaders of the state to build us skyscrapers in Owerri.

Iberiberism: 1) no town planner would build flyover unless options of roundabout and traffic lights are not possible.

2) Skyscrapers in Owerri with little electricity is waste of money, even though we may have to close rest of Imo state to come to settle in Owerri.

Abagworo:


Imo is simply larger than Anambra in size but Anambra has more population because of traditional dense rural central Igbo area that has majority of it in Anambra. Most of such rural areas are falsely classified as urban because of housing proximity but consists of mostly indigenous people. The area surrounds a triangle of Orlu, Nnewi and Awka. Towns like Ihiala, Uli, Awo Idemili, Okija, Akokwa, Uga, Igboukwu, Ekwulobia, Okporo, Akpulu, Osumenyi, Umuaka, Awo, Unubi etc. form parts of that core.

Bros, this Orlu you like to mention upandan, have you been there of recent?

There is no one motorable street, no public water supply, pits were deliberately dug in town centre to drain floods instead of completing the town’s urban drainage tunnel started by a former governor from far away Bende in Abia state.

Politicians from Orlu zone since BC have been building Owerri state capital. It’s like they were told that unless state capital becomes like London, no dice for Orlu.

Lol.

Iyamu already displays his servant-master relationship role if elected governor of Edo state.

A VC’s son in charge of collecting fees from students? Selfish.

Prof Adaobi, Prof Awuzie, Gov Okorocha - three actors on top of university education in Imo state for 8 years, but could not understand the importance of the advantages of closeness to government subsidized multi faculty university in their Imo West senatorial district.

Replace these names with Prof Viola Onwuliris and Emeka Ihedioha in 4 years, new university would have been in Mbaise.

Viola Onwuliri was instrumental to conversion of AIFCE to full university when she was mere Minister of State in Education at Abuja, though Buhari government reversed the conversion.


Info has it that politicians from Imo West even want to convert another college to university very close to Owerri. That’s how the cookie is crumbling for most people in Imo West.

Politicians from Orlu zone may not be aware of this, because Owerri has become home to almost every one of them.

They pave almost all the streets of Owerri while Orlu remains like a civil war area.

RIP young man.

bigtt76:
Wow ...you don't mean it. Many of these governors only embark on building flyovers and bridges to give the people a false sense of belonging that they're up to Lagos infrastructure wise ...this is wrong. Lagos infrastructure was built on the need to have basis. You don't build flyovers or bridges where there's no immediate need for such. Invest the funds in other sectors - health, agriculture, commerce and empowerment. Imagine if they did all of these, those hawkers on the streets of Lagos would have no need to travel down there.

Problem is that there are too many ignoramuses in Imo state capital who believe that FLYOVER is sign of a developed mega city. But no good town planner goes for flyovers unless roundabout or traffic lights can’t be built on the junction.

The Ignorant people in Imo state capital don’t have access to treated public water supply, they consume untreated water from boreholes, but pressure successive governors of Imo state to build them flyovers in Owerri.


And they are blind to the fact that other urban areas of the state have no good roads, are being wrecked by absence of common urban drainage gutters, no town planning, talk less, treated public water supply system.

Abagworo:


You are wise. The contractor who built this tunnel is in Uzodinma's government and well known. If indeed it is about quality of work then the contractor should be held responsible but we all know it isn't so it's all about trying to discredit an innocent man. The caption, photos and comments points to giving a dog bad name rather than laying bare an important information.

Okorocha was building tunnels and flyovers where no hills exist in Owerri, where simpler roundabout or traffic lights could have easily allowed free flow of traffic.
He built 6 Inland Roads where two would be okay in Owerri - all these because he had no attachment to other urban areas of the state.

Okorocha was building City Schools at nearly every street junction in Owerri but schools outside Owerri were dilapidated.

As Okorocha was building in Owerri, floods wrecked Orlu due to uncompleted urban drainage project started during the tenure of Amadi Ikwechegh, urban roads of Orlu are wrecked.

Don’t cheat nature. A governor putting 90% of his attention with capital development funds, including federal allocation, of Imo state, into building structures in the state capital alone, such a governor is working against nature.

Okorocha who built nearly everything he considered development only in the state capital worked against nature.

Any governor who followed Okorocha’s pattern must be discredited at last, like Okorocha.

Imo state is not state capital alone. Less than 5% of the people from Imo state come from that state capital.
Google estimate has Owerri pop. as 1 million people, but Orlu as 430,000 people. Come and go Students make up a large part of Owerri population.
It’s wishful thinking for any Imo governor who thinks he can earn plaudits by concentrating only on Owerri capital territory but relegate Orlu to the back yard.
That a governor has no special attachment to a place is no reason to undermine modern development in the place.

decatalyst:
The demolishing governor

The one and half legges predecessor built substandard structures and roads, the successor has a penchant for demolishing everything associated with the predecessor, either good or bad.

The youth from that side that are supposed to checkmate him are busy with "Lagos is not Edo" Ganduje vs Wike trade of words, Obaseki/Tinubu/oshiomole etc....

Aside from demolishing, is he not suppose to arrest those contractors that carried out this dastardly act?

Continue to demolish ok? In no time, you will level the whole of Imo state.

That seems to be the the aim of this man.


Interestingly, some people feel offended by what wrote.

This shows that a few elements are still unable to see that APC & PDP are the same. Here to steal, destroy and engender impoverishment.

Since 2007, Imo governors build, demolish and rebuild state capital because the governors have no attachment to the other principal urban centers in the state.

Money that should have gone to provide basic services in other urban areas of the state are either wasted on demolition and reconstruction in the state capital or vanished.

leicestercamper:
Ndi Imo ndo nu

Thank you.

We build and rebuild state capital.

Ralf Nwosu, Imo Commissioner for Works, I cannot hold my head high if I am Imo Commissioner for Works but see this type of road in your hometown.

This is a major road in Orlu Municipal local government area of Imo state .

Population of Owerri is about 1 million, while Orlu is about 430,000 - Google estimates.

Technical drawing of tunnel not found shouldn’t have been excuse for demolishing the tunnel.

We all know that the tunnels, like most of Okorocha’s projects, are sub standard.

Imo has become a state where every government buries itself in the state capital demolishing and rebuilding what was already built.

Rest of the state are no-go areas: decadent.

akinegba1:
More from the demolition. Okorocha wasted Imo state monies building substandard projects that posed safety challenges to Imolites.

Okorocha has incurred over 200 billion naira debt with nothing to show for it.

Owerri today is in shambles, littered with bad roads and filth. Okorocha was a mistake and a wasted 8yrs

You talk about Owerri as filth. But Orlu the next most populated urban centre after Owerri is a shame to Imo state; but shortsighted people in Imo state no longer see Imo state beyond the state capital.

Rochas Okorocha left the impression that Owerri is Imo state, as he built nearly everything he considered as development project in the state capital.

Western Education is Haram govt.


A modern technology that should have enhanced fair elections, but which you refused is what you want to use as evidence to uphold your rigging of election.
You are not ashamed of that.


Bin such evidence.

Fulani owns Nigeria, since Fulani-loyal soldiers created 20 political units in old northern region but created only 17 units in old two southern regions.

New political units like states are created in equal proportions between the regions that originally formed a country, not by use of land mass or population figures as yardstick which gave rise to 20 units in one region.

A presidential candidate must win 25% of votes in 24 states to be proclaimed winner of Nigeria's presidential election.
Thus, no southern presidential candidate can ever win Nigeria's presidential election unless accepted by Fulani.
That's how Nigeria gets the inept Obasanjo, Atiku, Buhari, and even Jonathan as presidents or candidate.

@asha80 with his talk about erosion job in Ideato.

Most of Owerri people are smart - but by half actually.

The ages deplorable concentration of all 6 tertiary education institutions in Imo state in Owerri imbued people of Owerri with knowledge, but they apply the knowledge against rest of their state outside Owerri; rest of the state outside Owerri zone are deprived the advantages of mass education; they thus remain docile, as Owerri aims for the state government to develop Owerri to touch the sky before any other place in the state is looked at.

*"There Is Panic At INEC Abuja Headquarters, Chairman Trying To Remove Sensitive Materials" - Omokri Raises Alarm*

By Wisdom Nwedene

Former Aide to Ex- Nigerian President, Reno Omokri has raised an alarm over plot by the Chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission, Professor  Mahmood Yakubu to get the company to remove all traces of their connection with INEC.

In a statement made available to 9news Nigeria correspondent, Omokri said he has 'been reliably informed by  MOLES within INEC that there is severe PANIC at their Abuja HQ'

He equally revealed that it is too late because he already have an evidence ".

The statement reads,

" Dear Nigerians,

"I have been reliably informed by my MOLES within INEC that there is severe PANIC at their Abuja HQ. They are trying to get the company to remove all traces of their connection with INEC. But it is TOO LATE. We already have the EVIDENCE! Let me assure the Chairman of INEC that I know when he arrives at the office. I know which visitors he receives. I know what he has for lunch. I know the colour of his handkerchief. He uses perfume. I know the brand. There are PATRIOTS there who tell me what he plans in his bed chamber! "

Reno childish in his mole talk.

Bin this.

Ten powerful blind and coco nut head men.

eddiebruk:
When you keep applauding these people when they do what they are elected to do, You reduce their sense of responsibility as they tend to conclude they have done enough to deserve such praises. Request for accountability on that road and tell what Nigerian doesn’t know about the cost. In todays generation, Policy making beats infrastructure.

The Infrastructure we spend Government funds to build, will require maintenance. A good policy will see private investors putting in the work for whatsoever Infrastructure we deserve. You cannot continue to feed a child and provide everything for him. Because, when that child is grown and cannot depend on you anymore (then start stealing).

If you refuse to applaud them, they do nothing.

Obasanjo,

Nigeria was restructured by northern elements such that a president Obasanjo can even write letters to a President Obasanjo to change style.

Obasanjo wrote to President Jonathan to change style.


Obasanjo was sleeping in the AFRC when Arewa soldiers created 20 new units on one region, but created a meagre 17 units in the two southern regions.

That rogue political structure gave absolute powers to the Fulani. Unfortunately, perhaps 90% of southern Nigerians don't understand the fraud in the political structure, and how the structure gets huge political powers to the Fulani.

Does a determined Jihadist look at what the rest of the world are saying against him?

Buhari told fellow Moslems in Kaduna in 2001 that he wouldn't relent until Islamic Sharia Criminal Codes are used all over Nigeria.

YorubaHero12:

Which East?? You mean the erosion ravaged region??

You are proud to have an erosion-ravaged region in your country. Where is your intelligence?
Yet you want one Nigeria to continue by all means because of crude oil.
Examine your head.

The richest countries in the world have no crude oil.

Crude oil money.

The Niger delta leaders who begged Gowon to carve out non Igbos from Biafra, una commit ORIGINAL SIN

YorubaHero12:


Okay if the Yoruba nation is suffering how is that your concern? Leave us alone, we are not hateful souls and we don’t just attack people without thinking through.

Leave us alone, we don’t care about your Biafra, if you like you can say the Igbo is the richest nation on earth, the most successful on earth, the most developed region on earth. WE DO NOT CARE

Just stop trying to drag us in your Biafra, is that too much to ask?

Shorrup. Desire for cheap cash from crude oil in the east is all that sticks the Yoruba to one Nigeria, don't pretend you love Fulani.

YorubaHero12:


We are still thankful that Nigeria is not a war arena for now. Might not be stable but at least we are not on the road pointing gun at each other killing all people at sight like a war ravaged country.

The way you guys are magnifying all this might lead us to the state you really want and we will all be engulfed in the hate we nurture irrespective of tribe.

So you can only stop being thankful when we all start pointing guns at one at another killing ourselves?

You don't understand yet that once Yoruba declares Oduduwa Republic, Nigeria's insecurity problem becomes a thing of the past.

You don't know that in northern Nigeria, Moslems and non Moslems had cohabited peacefully for ages, until Sharia criminal laws issue cropped up, and that it's the struggle by northern Islamists to take total control of Nigeria and the resources in the south which is behind the insecurity in Nigeria?


Wake up bros.

YorubaHero12:
We Yorubas have to have a say of our own and stop pushing the narrative of the disgruntled people that are bent on setting the nation on fire.

I watched the interview of the driver and maid of the Afenifere daughter and you can deduce that the people that carried out the operation are masked men and train personnel who have their motive.

I do not say there is no herdsmen menace, but it’s crazy to always attribute all occurrence to herdsmen because it just sound foolish and insensible coz from time immemorial people know that Benin-ore road is a den for kidnappers, so why the sudden profiling of fulanis?

The people pushing the narrative are very happy when this kind of thing happens in the west, and they have been recruited by evil men with different social media account to re-echo the propaganda everytime so as to make sure the country become unstable. We Yorubas must have a voice of our own and stop following the bandwagon, set up local militias to fish out the herdsmen but be mindful of propaganda.

Where are the cows?

Yoruba ronu.

So Nigeria is stable?

Iberiberism chapter 2.
You said it that from time immemorial, Benin-Ore Road has been a den for kidnappers.


Benin-Ore road is 90% in the Yoruba region.

Juxtapose your stand to Tinubu's.

Obasanjo said "we must all together find solutions to the banditry..."

It's like lion, tiger and leopard are put together in a cage, then asked to work together to find a lasting solution to their problems.

Hypocritical solutions.

Solution is as many countries as possible for the endangered groups in Nigeria.

Esseite:
Well.... Buhari, congratulations... you have done well in making the country the next best thing.

As if Buhari support groups care, even if Nigeria is now a leprous country.
Religion has killed Nigeria.

Buhari support group from the SW region are even more vicious than the northern groups.
