Ihechiuwa street almost done

pandax:


Wish Uzodimma will start covering open gutters as obtainable in saner climes

I love this holiday resort
Oxygen holiday resort

Abagworo:
How and when is this type of city possible in Southeast Nigeria?

Mensamusa:


Abeg I dey confuse here biko
Is this another oxygen resort,or still same but got rebuilt

NwaforIgbo:


Sometimes when I see people commenting here praising this nonsense we call cities in SE I just shake my head. We never ready to develop.

Lagos is becoming a better city by the day.

No SE state even have CBD

NwaforIgbo:

Urban development is Nigeria is best characterized as chaos. Well, most people in the rural areas have no idea what a well paved road looks like. So when their leaders rub mediocrity on them in the form of road construction, they can’t differentiate, instead sing praises to them.

Grgton:
not even a CBD... Let's have properly marked roads with functional traffic lights.. with uniformity in housing structures

eduj:

Don't over-hype lagos .Much of Lagos is battling same problem we have in the East.Unless we make away with this unitary government, no SE city will be like that in 50 years time.
Don't you see that the only places in Nigeria (lagos & Abuja)which can be compared to some developed cities world wide are the cities that has had Federal funds dedicated to developing them ?
And that is why lagos is pushing to be recognized as a special status state.
If Nigeria have had a president who can devote 1 trillion Naira for 4 consecutive years on Infrastructure alone,across Nigeria's most important cities, we can have cities like that- but Nigeria hasn't had a working president since independence.
Nepotism clouds everything in this country.
Imagine infusing 40 billion per year into Onitsha,Aba, owerri and Enugu just for infrastructure alone- for 4 consecutive years ?
Replicate it allover the zones in Nigeria and you get to see miracles happen.For a country with over 3 trillion Naira burgers,we can do this if the will is there

seankafor:
What is happening in my owerri

sanctity454:

They was an unsuccessful attempt on orji police division.
The painful part of it was that orji residents was caught on camera hailing the gunmen.
I feel embarrassed with that attitude.

Ofcourse being a big city comes with big challenges. If any of the SE state experience the kind of challenge Lagos is facing it'll collapse.

IGBOSON1:


No Nigerian city can experience the ‘challenges’ Lagos is experiencing and collapse! Nigerians are quite the experts in living in dysfunctional, chaotic societies...so bring it on! Highest, they will soldier on in the chaos and filth and tell you, ‘there’s nothing the eye will see and cry blood’!

Now, if you had been referring to cities in 1st world countries like London, New York or Tokyo collapsing due to a lack of infrastructure and order like Lagos is experiencing, i’d have agreed with you!

Ofodirinwa:


One thing that would be nice to see is use discussing things with more healthy temperments. We're so concerned with showing how we feel that it clouds how we think. Someone can say 'I want Owerri to be better' without decided, on their own and outside of Owerri, that Owerri is hell and somewhere else is heaven.

If Owerri is good, Orlu becomes hell
If Lagos is good, Owerri becomes hell
If there is a good outside of Nigeria, Nigeria becomes hell.

We keep doing this and in the end nobody says anything useful. This thread is a good opportunity for us to even figure out how we can make our own impacts and fortunes in Imo. But the conversation is so unrealistic and dramatic that it's hard to find tangible info.

Abagworo posted a video of a city and is asking why we 'don't have that' in the SE.
1. What about it do you like?
2. Discuss that.

IF you like the buildings, say '_______ would look great with these types of buildings'. Very normal balanced way to express your view. Then we can talk about architecture, and what it would take to do that. If it's the cleanliness fine. but all of the emotions and hyperbole get old.

Abagworo:


1st step is tree planting everywhere there is space and provisions for pedestrian walkways in all the city roads. When Sullivan was Governor of Enugu State he started creating sidewalks across many parts of the city but I think his successor couldn't continue in that line.
