It is like that in every part of imo state. There is no single good stretch of road in imo state. Have u gone to arondizogu? Smh

Abagworo:
Yet people lie that Orlu has not changed. Though most are short in distance, Orlu seems to have up to 6 dualized major roads with streetlights. That beats some major cities and State capitals

CrypticSegun:
Obasanjo is an attention seeker and the media will be better off without giving him constant attention.... He talks like he never had the chance to put things correctly......

He should emulate past leaders by keeping quiet..... Soon, with all these constant rubbish he is spilling, he will be irrelevant.....

bushdoc9919:
If APC is to blame for a federal university and the NUC having issues....then that means you think APC is in charge of the Federal Govt.

Your argument would have had more sense if it was an Imo state owned university like IMSU, or IMT. Not FUTO which is run by Abuja.

Again...blaming APC means that you recognize Buhari as your President.

Perhaps Nigeria is not progressing because we love to blame our mistakes on others.

An Aesop is there...somewhere.

Good evening..

Did we complete any rail project in 2006?

OBJ started the modernisation of Lagos-Kano rail. When Yar Adua came, he suspended the contract siting irregularities in the award. he also abandoned the NIPP.
When Jona took over, he vowed to do his best with all abandoned project, about 12000 of them. He chose the most pertinent ones.

Remember, only a section of the Lagos-kano line was awarded by OBJ. The remaining part was redesigned and awarded by GEJ.

Abuja -Kaduna is entirely new sir.

For a change I have something to post because I have just come back to Lagos from Owerri. I usually try to go back every year at least once to show presence and check on the progress of the projects we are involved in. So I saw a new Owerri (for background let me state that even though I was born in Lagos, a wu m onye Owere, my father had a house and a business in Owerri and we used to visit every year in August and I am very, very familiar with the town). Now Owerri looks quite different from how it was the last time I was there in 2013. And of course it has changed very much from the sleepy old town I first became familiar with back in '82 or so.

There is quite a lot of impressive development in the New Owerri area; Rochas seems to have given up on Old Owerri, which now wears an abandoned look to me. I used to be able to drive around Owerri - now I dont know anywhere in New Owerri. So many hotels and bars and joints; my friends took me around some and I honestly can't find my way back there again on my own (Oh, I visited the new Ibari Ogwa, I was most impressed to see what the owner has done with all the nkwobi money we used to drop back then in the late 90s or so on Tetlow!).

I was distressed to see that the state library was demolished to make way for a structure of indefinite function. However, I was pleased to note that there are quite a number of new roads that have been opened up here and there which do make getting around quite easier. I found a new road from the airport running through my village straight to Ulakwo junction. Yes, its one of the so-called "China" roads, but at least we hope it will serve us for a while before it goes the way of all China products. We took a new road from Naze junction straight into Egbu Road or so; the seamless connection was lovely.

Apart from the abandonment of Old Owerri, I cant really complain much about Rochas' development, it does seem to lack focus and planning, to me Owerri now looks like Awka or Gusau (an old town that suddenly sprouted a lot of development due to status change, becoming a capital or something like that). Wetherell Road looks horrible now, rampant unchecked development with strange buildings springing up here and there. However, all in all, I suppose that the new roads everywhere are the best feature of the new arrangement, and I give him a pass mark there.

If I were to be in Imo for the elections, I suppose I would vote for Rochas again. If only as the best of a bad lot (what I hear about Ihedioha gives me nightmares, and I didnt get the impression that Captain Ihenacho is running a serious campaign). He may b providing cosmetic "China" changes, but they are at least better than what the previous incumbents did.

Just my penny n'afu.

mrrock:
APC is a satanic party. Just look around you and ask yourself; where do they get money to run the massive advertisements going on all over the country?.

1. Remember, Buhari said he have only N1 million in his bank account and that he borrowed N27 million from bank to obtain presidency election form. Yet, Buhari's wife recently donated N137 million to an organization in Adamawa.

2. APC said they have no money and was going to sell some yams to raise campaign money. But, over the last 6 months alone APC have spent over $30 billion on election campaigns.

This party is so corrupt that they even hacked into INEC database to steal information to rig elections.

A party where you can forge documents to win election and it wouldn't matter.

APC is the worst thing to happen to Nigeria lately.

Who are the thieves? Who are the looters? Who are we suppose to sweep out of office?

berem:
substantiate your claim with pictures and stop lying.

UnknownT:
Developmental pictures would make more sense than these ones you are uploading. What concerns us with Biafran flags in Okporo or Ofoma bread? Was in Orie Okporo last month to buy Ram for a traditional wedding, the sellers had burial that day so we were directed to the home of one major Hausa Ram seller in the market. The road to his home almost spoilt the car exhaust.

ChinemeOkpan:
That is a very apt message to the fools that sent the soldiers there. Instead of using the human resources in the army optimally- to defeat the BH insurgents, they are sending soldiers to intimidate political opponents. Clueless people.
