Why Do People Build Classy Houses Everyday In Owerri (pictures) by Broveens42(op): 12:06pm On Feb 29, 2024
It's almost becoming a norm in Owerri where Landlords upgrade their buildings or face rejection. But what surprises most, is the way imolites are building their personal houses everyday, especially at the outskirts of the city center.
I did an interview the last time on project sites, I was quite surprised most were civil servants whose children were still in school. Some were retirees who had started their projects when they were in active service.
Imolites who stay abroad also build houses in Owerri, even when they do have magnificent structures in their villages; maybe hotel bills are becoming more expensive and could play a major role, or some do such for luxury and relaxation from frequent visitation of villagers/kinsmen.

People are becoming more of landlords than tenants in Owerri

I agree with you. But they are concentrated at choice areas/GRA's/ Estates

But Owerri has quality residential areas for the average.

Nigeria is one giant ghetto with a few average towns sprinkled here and there in the name of state capitals, most with no recognized form of transportation, dilapidated infrastructure and very dirty environments.
We have finally settled for mediocrity.
Re: Why Do People Build Classy Houses Everyday In Owerri (pictures) by DevilsEqual(m): 2:50pm On Feb 29, 2024
Why u con dey color the thing like say u wan dey learn Fine Art for pry school

How does this affect the life of an average Igbo guy struggling to make ends meet in some rural areas in Katsina??


Bragging of random buildings thats being owned by strangershuh cheesy cheesy cheesy


Its cool for a person to have a very low self-esteem but for a group to suffer from chronic inferiority complex is like a generational pandemic

Spits on your plank head

Enyi ahu odikwa gi? grin

My investments in Nigeria are strictly in owerri alone. Ala owerri murum NI!

Owerri is a small London that lagos and Abuja can't compete with. Lagos is just big and large for nothing, quality of life Zero!

Owerri is small and healthy. 95% of owerri city is a modern model city well planned and developed.
Ngwori is second to none.

No ebi n pawa ooo in the city of owerri

I had my nysc program in imo state and I must say I love the people and the state.
The people were very welcoming and accommodating to all tribes. Yoruba, hausa etc.
It's unfortunate that tribalism and religion have eaten deep into the dirty fabric of Nigeria. I wish it wasn't so.

Owerri is peaceful and quiet but they also have some negative issues to deal with like erosion and ipob.

Abeokuta, Akure are all slums.

You can cry about that
Re: Why Do People Build Classy Houses Everyday In Owerri (pictures) by PARADIZEPRIEST:
For greedy and selfishness,black man riches is for self alone,he doesn't care about his neighbors,they dont builitd any factory in communities,they do chieftencies ,buy drinks and dance loud music to showoff with heavy security presence.
That is why you see poverty surrounding those buildings and they live in fear to abandon them to cities while they decay.

BESIDES MOST SOCALLED RICH CANT WALK THE STREET FREELY,because OF THIS EVASIVE LIFESYYLE.
ALSO Igbo man no dey help his brother when they rich for fear of contest,is their tradition.So that he can be the only one worshiped in the community. Most Igbo ppl worship money and don't ask of the source again. It is sad trend that must stop to return sanity to the communities. angry

Let's tell ourselves the truth, you can't see any city that beats Owerri in beauty and on an expansive scale, because of the old culture of landscaping.
Those days in GSSO, walking with feddy girls and admiring those orchads along okigwe road was soothing.

No be only cosmopolitan.
1. Night life in Ikenegbu, Owerri will beat what ever you have in Lagos. I don't even wana talk about concord avenue/Area C.

2. Owerri beat ikeja on inner street roads(tarred).
3. Our "Bus Imo" is more viable and reliable than your BRT buses
4. A large part of Lagos state is a slum (FACT)
A large part of IMO state is an aggregation of amazing residential areas (FACT)
