This is the present condition of the worldbank estate in Owerri, the only estate that houses the rich in the town.

Naze in Owerri west has been cut off from the rest of the state. Rochas smh!

Rochas is a disaster to Imo state. Almost 95% of the roads in Owerri and Imo state at large are like this. Below is another section of Owerri Imo state.

The World-Class Roads In Owerri: ‘Change’ Has Indeed Come!

There is no doubt that impunity has tragically become the trademark of the political class in Nigeria, inspired by the awful followership that is bereft of the needed orientation and will to hold political office holders accountable for their perpetual failure, a situation which has reduced the nation into a jungle of impunity and a cesspool of corruption. The result is that the political class, prime enemies of the people, imposes oppression on the people without the compunctions of conscience and with no resistance on the side of the oppressed.

One of the consequential problems besetting our nation is mass ignorance amongst the people, a defect which the oppressors have utilised to their own selfish advantage.

The above leads us to the rationale for this publication. The spine-chilling Federal Roads situation in Imo State is a monumental affront on the people of that state. It is an outright concession of failure which requires no use of a microscope for confirmation. And, indeed, failure in Nigerian politics has become so commonplace that it is now a way of life, so that no eyebrows are raised when it happens.

That the Federal Government ignores the terrible state of its road in many parts of Imo State, with emphasis on Owerri North Local Government Area, remains a major mystery that might only be comprehended with the help of divinity. The videoed/pictured road published with this text is a Federal Government road in Ezeogba, Emekuku, inside Owerri, the state capital! It is a major road, on which both pedestrians and vehicles must learn the craft of swimming expertly before contemplating the idea of plying on it. The road is a national eyesore, and a confirmation that the much touted ‘change’ by the ruling APC was a tool of deception, which, not surprisingly, has remained a mirage.

Looking at the road, one is bound to conclude that that part of Owerri is under no government, or that it is a place abandoned by its government to survive on its own.

This, in any way, does not exonerate the state governor, Mr Rochas Okorocha, seeing that several deplorable state roads are prevalent in the state. Like I have written elsewhere, a government that is unable to provide such basic things as water, good roads, sound health care system, good schools, etc has no right to exist.

God Bless Imo state and all Imolites

Sen. Anyanwu should do fast to come and rescue us in Imo state.

csamii:
An attack on imo is an attack on southeast. Unless northerners want to leave the east by force then boko haram better reconsider attacking imo.

This has nothing to do with the SE. I am from Imo state but Okorocha is a total disaster. I wish for the state to be bombed to the ground without human casualty. I just want the huge pile of slum called Imo state to be bombed to ground zero, so we can develop our state in a decent manner devoid of slums, filth and bad roads that litter the entire state.
