First of all op, the fact that you are a lawyer does not mean you would be richer than the woman selling tomatoes near by. Cut your expectations low. Take up any job that can get you connected to people. Take up cases for free. Do charge and bail. If you have any skill unrelated to your field use it to rake in money. It is only you yourself can limit yourself. There are countless number of successful lawyers. Your certificate is a mere paper. It is the individual that matters.

Why can't govt let these people be. There are not boko haram, neither are they the corruption destroying our nation. Bunch of hypocrites!

@Abagworoa: we as citizens must make unbiased criticism against our govt. It is our patriotic responsibility. Truth be told Rochas needs to step up. Awo idemili to Orlu road is a mess. Anara to Umuahia road is a mess. I ply these roads regularly. What we need is not free education but quality education. We don't need 27 new general hospitals but functional hospitals even if it is one a every senatorial zone. We are not asking for much. We only need good roads, electricity,water,affordable health care,security and quality n functional education. Rochas is working but he needs to do more.

Good job Abagworo. What do think about Anara__Umuahia road. That road is a mess.

Was here - ORLU HOTELS - a short while ago. Marvelous - private hotel, on Ilobi Avenue, Orlu.

Photo 2 is the hotel entrance at night.

Good one bro! That's what we are talking about. We need more businesses. Rochas needs to do more especially on that road linking Orlu to Anara.

Illiteracy n stereotypes are cousins. Mbaise peeps are among the most educated Igbos. They get mouth for govt no be small.

This thread is becoming inactive! Imo peeps where una dey?

We know we are good so, I don't give a dime to what they say..


Proudly Imo

You are good sis

The op is a bastard from a thousand fathers. Ewu Benin. Pls leave Anioma matter for Aniomas. Oloshi! Werey! Bastard! You go soon die!

Don't get it twisted fellas. I'm not a tribal bigot. However, considering the amount of onslaught I have witnessed on nairaland against Imo girls. I have decided to counter some as well as celebrate the women of my state. A lie told for so long becomes the truth.

Imo state is a wonderful state inhabited by 100 percent Igbos. We are known as the eastern heartland. We share similar traditions with other Igbos.

Imo women are among the most elegant women in Igbo land. Note: Igbos are generally beautiful. It is however disheartening that other Igbos especially Anambra n Enugu folks have taken it upon their head to demonise our pretty women.

Here are some of the lies:

Lie no 1: Imo girls are the most expensive to marry in Nigeria: This statement is not only stupid but malicious. Yes, in some places in Imo state the cost of marrying a girl is a bit high. However this does not apply to every community as there countless number of communities making up the state. Again, Anambra,Enugu,Abia, Ebony,Rivers,Akwaibom,Bayelsa and so many other states have communities whose marital customs are very costly. Why Imo state is singled out is what I don't know.

Lie 2: Imo girls are cheap and bleep around: This is another rubbish from the pit of hell. If other girls from some other Igbo states don't bleep around then we might start talking.

Lie 3: Imo girls are too wise, exposed and arrogant: Another trash circulated by haters. They expect you to keep numb when you are trampled upon.

I don't tire jare. You are free to add yours. To all my beautiful Imo ladies beat your chest loud and be proud of who you are and where you are from. Haters are free to locate the Lagoon. Unu wu umu oma.

Bros, you cannot get a reasonable answer from nairaland. Honestly, you re not ready to marry. If okada men and bricklayers marry in that place then all your assumptions and your friends talk are blatant nonsense.

Tribal stooge!

@Pchidexy,

You mean Nigerian universities propagate people of your sort?

Too many Nigerians who attended modern Nigerian universities excel in Western countries.

After a little exposure to Western systems, some Nigerian trained graduates even perform better than the ones trained in Western universities.

My dear what I mean is the unreasonable quest for a mere paper qualification. Believe it or not university education is over rated. Tell me which university Innoson,Coscharis, Ifeanyi Uba, Mark Zuckerberg, Kotech and others went to. Skills and entrepreneurial exposure is better. Learn a trade, a handwork, specialize in a particular field. Above all do whatever you have to do well. Be creative and what money come to you. University education is over rated. It gives you false pride and dignity. Many talents have been wasted by our unproductive university.

Your really mad! Internet bastard!

Nature129:
I insist Imo doesn't need more universities. Everyone must not go to the university - I don't even know where we got this university mentality from. You must not go to the university to be literate. Just a few should go. Nigeria needs youths with technical skills to propel its growth not bunch of unemployable degree holders.

University degrees don't put food on the table, skills do.

Most Americans don't go to the universities because their system is designed to discover the natural ability (skill) of a child and develop it - we must learn from them. Also, skill explains why a school leaver from the Japan and China will come to Nigeria and be a boss to a PhD holder. Yes, he has the skills to solve problem but we just memorise theories (formulae and principles) in books. These people know what we don't know.

Look at rich kids like Wizkid, Davido, Bow Wow, Rihanna, Chris Brown, and even Bill Gates and Mark Zukerberg...the list is just endless. They made fame and fortune because they developed their skills and kept "university" by the side. This 6-3-3-4 thing has taken us back for far too long. The world has moved and we have to keep pace with the trend. Creating more universities means creating more problems because universities don't even teach what we need to succeed in life. I'm a living witness. Today Innoson owns a motor plant and he's employing the so-called graduates - am sure you know that no Nigerian university taught him that.

Discovering talents and developing them are key - we don't need to have universities scattered all over the place to achieve it. Good vocational and technical schools can also "improve the quality of a society's population" as you'd put it. I don't mean that universities aren't good though, I mean we should move away from "academic knowledge" to "technical know-how." We really need some value re-orientation. Finally, you need to get off this "mainstream mentality" of having universities everywhere because it's taking us back...universities are expensive to maintain especially in Nigeria where Fed govt hugely subsidies varsity education.

I rest my case.

Your right on point. University education in Nigeria is meant to propagate ignorance. Great individuals educate themselves.

Industrialization is very important. It is not something utopian. Look at Singapore nd Taiwan. The problem is that unintelligent people govern us. What prevents Imo state government from building small scale refineries. It can then buy products from Nnpc refine and sell to its citizens. What about floating a company in the states name. It can even own properties and investments outside the state. The money Europe enjoys today was made from Africa. Our leaders are clowns. They only pursue populist policies which are usually useless. We need visionary people like Mbakwe.

Nature129:
Why do you people care so much about universities when those who have graduated are busy roaming the streets of other states looking for jobs? Personally, I feel that building universities without building enough industries to absorb graduates means creating problem for ourselves and indeed Nigeria. Everyone must not go to university. Whatever happened to technical and vocational schools?

On the other hand, no matter what anyone thinks about imo being surrounded by Aba and Onitsha, I think it's important Imo builds her own industries not necessarily in Owerri but Okigwe or Orlu to create jobs for Ndi Imo and other Igbos. And who says we can't combine tourism and industries? Yes, we can because Lagos is a good example.

I just feel bad that S/East governors don't plan together. Why do we have to await federal govt to revive the coal in Enugu when we know that doing so as a people would create lots jobs for the Igbos? I think the governors can get a license (if that is necessary) from FG, pool their resources together, sign an MoU on how the revenue generated from coal can be shared, how the state indigenes will be employed, and how much power each state gets if the coal would be used for electricity generation.

I have said it times without number that Okorocha's free education is a waste of money. To be rich you don't have to go the university. Basic and sound education from primary to secondary is enough. Education is different from schooling! Technical n entrepreneurial training is far more better.

Some copy cats will go and put on these bondages forgetting that the girls with the flamboyant hairstyles are model. Note: don't try this at home.

Yorobbers and their hatred for anything Igbo. They wouldn't say she is beautiful. Imagine funke pregnant? She go be like winch. Infact, all Yorobbers be like winch. Don't quote me pls!

Yorubas always Bleep like dog. Why! Why! O why!

Happy birthday to Papillo! He was the best we ever had in those golden days of our football.

#youknowyourmumisnigerian when after shouting from morning to evening, she ends it with 'after you people will say am shouting'

Lmao! My mum sabi this one well.

Ofe Akwu joor!

We need news and recent happenings and not unnecessary dick measurement. The enemies of Igbo are at it again. Divide and rule: a very potent weapon.

Op, this is bullshit on a konjilled level. If you can't get sex don't frustrate others who can. If a girl can't give you sex what else can she give? Or probably, who is she giving it to? Don't overrate sex. Sex is cheap! It has always been cheap since 14BC.

Abagworo is more sensible than Chino. Chinology is absolutely mad as well as jobless. Abagworo makes useful analysis(but a bit extreme sometimes). Chinology on the other hand is a complete dunce useful only in posting silly pictures. Everybody should ignore him Abagworo included. Arguing with a fool is a waste of time. Fools have experience(in foolishness) too.

Na lie, what the Judge did will set Nigeria backwards

let me explain something to you, The major problem affecting the Nigerian Power Industry is that the Power Industry is not liquid...
The power industry has a value chain:
gas company-generation company-transmission company -distribution company- final consumer

while the cash flow for this industry is from the consumer to the gas company

The illiquidity in the Nigerian Power industry is because:
1 The tariff we use in Nigeria does not reflect actual gas prices (by the way Nigeria has the lowest tariff in west Africa, even the tariff in Togo and Benin Republic is way more)... gone are those era where bulk of the power comes from hydro plants with low running cost, now about 70% of the power we enjoy comes from gas fired turbines, meaning the Tariff must reflect what gas is saying.. if tariff doesn't reflect gas prices, there will be little incentive for development of gas infrastructure upstream
2 The collect loss which is a major component of the Aggregate Technical Commercial & Collection ATC&C is very high..meaning a number of us do not like to pay our bills. if cash cant flow back to the gas suppliers, the gas company wont supply gas feedstock to the Power plants and the whole country will continue in mess

There are no magic to it, if power supply is to be stable in Nigeria, Tariff must reflect gas prices(i wont come out by saying tariff must increase..lol)
and people must be ready to pay and consequently there will be investment in the gas and power infrastructures because like I said earlier 70% of power generated as of today comes from gas fired turbines

Stupid talk. Let the electricity improve, then we can pay higher bills. Bros, will you pay for what you have not used? Sorry for my harsh words.

Anyone going to school to get a good job is simply on a very long thing.

Reading this, small tears comot from my eyes .... i will never forget the flogging my parents dished on us... i remember when I came home with 72 position for my skool result.. was in pry 3... i told God that day that If I still remain alive, after that day, I will serve Him till eternity.. that night ehn, Jesus....... i was once caught smoking..... that's why till today, if I attempt drinking sef, I still feel like my mum will come out of no where and give me dat same beating....

Kingslaw:
to Bonny, no. But brass,not too sure. I think, alternative to this means will b too expensive.
You don't need to be afraid.just pray to God for protection.

Guy you too much! Thanks

Kingslaw:
Op? Bonny is not in BY. Anyway where are you starting your journey from?
For Bonny, you will have to go by sea from ph. Same is applicable to brass but from BY capital.

Thanks. I will move from Onitsha. I am afraid about the sea part. I don't know how to swim. Isn't there an alternative?
