Peter Obi as Anambra Governor used James Nwafor of Awkuzu SARS to kill more than 1,000 Igbo youths. Did you Igbo cowards ever question him?

Vampire did his own, Osisikanwu did same. Ekpa is wiping you out. But you're crying armed forces.

If armed forces are the ones killing you, why are you hiding under the bed every Monday? Is it armed forces you are hiding from?

Your children can never have sense cos this your idiocy is inherited.

Go and check Abia State college of education in Arochukwu even as at today and one federal Polytechnic like that located in Akwa Ibom. How many colleges are viable on their own? Anybody old enough would know that the college's were like fourth choice and both parents and students would rather take jamb 10times than choose to attend them. Campuses for university sef are struggling so I don't see how campuses would have been viable for a college back in those days. Everything is not about paying rent in Owerri because every other institution by the state were located other places.
What they said might not be far from the truth. Try to see everything with clear eyes not about trying to hating on Owerri. Owerri and Owerri people are suffering from the lazy type of governance in Imo.
Mind you that Owerri people are not the ones ruling in fact they're being marginalised from becoming governor yet the people in charge will just pack money into their pockets, patch control roundabout and claim they have rehabilitated PH road or they'll repaint or replace the concrete blocks along bank road and claim they have changed the face of Imo. Imo governors are only better than former Abia governors.

they can't try this shit in my territory(northern) Nigeria. as long as Igbos are scared to d!e for their right, they will always be downgraded by Nigerian gvt. it's really a pity, and Nigerian gvt's very partial and bias.

Two seemingly innocent-looking [/b]ladies were caught on CCTV stealing a dentist's phone from a hospital counter while pretending to wait for an appointment.

[b]The incident occurred as the dentist was busy attending to other patients in the inner office. Seizing the opportunity, the duo approached the reception counter, where the phone was left among other items. Their actions appeared premeditated, as one acted as a lookout while the other discreetly took the phone.

Unbeknownst to them, a CCTV camera positioned directly in front of them captured their faces clearly. As soon as they secured the stolen device, they quickly exited the building, appearing satisfied with their crime.

Authorities are now reviewing the footage and working to identify and apprehend the suspects.

It's really funny if the Police commision man said all this...

If you know, you know, you know, what are you doing or what have you done about it, or is it just knowing?

I prefer the army checkpoints remain and all the police checkpoints be dismantled... Then all the officers posted to Tiger base should have all their families relocated to Imo state also, e get why... What is good for the goose...an eye for an eye

Or better still, all the police checkpoints be moved to Orlu and Orsu, since those are the two areas always causing nuisance in the state

Tragedy struck in Agbor as a 100-level student of the University of Delta, Agbor, accidentally k!lled a final-year nursing student, Awele Eluemunor, while receiving driving lessons from her Yahoo Boy boyfriend.

Eyewitnesses report that the young girl lost control of the vehicle, veering off the road and hitting pedestrians. Awele, who was set to graduate in November, di£d instantly, while two others sustained severe injuries and are currently battling for their lives in the hospital.

Shockingly, the Yahoo Boy fled the scene, abandoning his girlfriend to face the consequences alone.

Hahaha who sabi Awka? Owerri has been notable since the days of east central state. You sabi one awkward okigwe or orlu?

Vision101:
Hahaha...... it's not our fault. Na God give us. Imo is Owerri and Owerri is Imo. Let insecurity stop and Owerri will get even better. People even none-Imolites love Owerri.

I'm not an Owerri person but truth need to be told. Only Alvan and FMC(teaching hospital) are in Owerri. Those institutions were initially located in rural areas outside Owerri but I guess they federal people didn't care to go far enough into the jungles As of then because what you now call as Owerri has grown up to meet them.
As for the estates, I don't know and Owerri people has been fighting against government since time immemorial. All of their ancestral and farming lands are being wiped out for things they may not have much stake in it. Mind you it's the government that forcefully apportioned the lands and allocated the houses. Most recent housing projects are private partnerships.

State institutions were located imsu in uturu okigwe, Alvan(a less desirable college then) in the heart Owerri, college of agric(imopoly now UAES) in Umuagwo Ohaji/Egbema. The new state institutions by Rochas, Ihedioha and Hope are located Coll of edu in Mbano, state Polytechnic in Omuma, Oru east L.G.A. IMSU was relocated to Owerri in a them secondary school site under emergency following the creation of Abia State and dividing Okigwe with boundary line just to collect the university. IMO STATE INSTITUTES WERE NEVER CENTRALISED IN OWERRI AS YOU PURPORT
*) Imo teaching hospital is in Orlu built by Udenwa, commissioned by Obasanjo.
The federal teaching hospital that you're talking about is beyond our control because I personally don't like it's location but federal government decided to transform their federal medical centre into federal teaching hospital. It has nothing to do with Owerri or other zones. Other hospitals you and I may want to suggest are not properties of federal government. So that's that.
1) Owerri is the capital so that's most likely where parastatals will be located or do you expect INEC office or federal secretariat to be in ideato or onuimo!? 🤷🏻‍♂️

2) FUTO is in ihiagwa, closely located to federal poly nekede but they're not close to fecolart offorolla. However all of them are in Owerri north L.G.A BUT THEY ARE NOT INSIDE of "Owerri" and their locations are far from any house for rent or market that is inside "Owerri".

3)These institutions (except FUTO) started as colleges and were not given much consideration and they didn't have much population until recently after jamb started unified utme.

4) Alvan started as a state college again with little to no consideration. At a time it was almost a taboo and was tagged a housewife's school.

If Nigerians don't understand their own laws then why is he in court defending himself?
Of course he would leave only to be buried! My context was he living and going back to Kenya or wherever to continue his frolicking...

That statement was super insulting as an African! It's like a big shut up! It's demeaning! Also there are better and more sensible ways of taking excuses. Many died through his agitation for Biafla. So he too must follow suit.
