Stop embarrassing yourself, you mean same Owerri?

yemre:
Owerri is a beautiful city. I was in Owerri 6 months ago and I marvelled at the serenity and the beauty of the town itself. I was forced to question one ibo man sitting beside me that why do the easterners hate this guy so much but was surprised when he said that Hope was the only eastern governor associating with the evil party APC!

Then I said, if associating with evil APC has brought such development. Then, may he never associate with the good party!

In Igbo land even They hate Soludo... The Igbo has a high standards of governance! They don't praise wish their governors anyhow ...unlike the South West that shout on your mandate we stand

All the Eastern governors are trying but yet they push them harder even Oti of Abia is still being criticised Soludo faces that everyday and even MBAH of Enugu

That is the standard....I noticed that Igbo standards are above national standards in governance! Yet they feel like pushing their leaders more and more to out perform

And it's working

The same Owerri where young boys and men are in fear because of Tiger Base that has waylaid and slaughtered so many of them, leaving their parents, siblings and even children to become fatherless.

That Owerri? 🙄

I understand what you're talking about.

It's the atmosphere.
It's pleasantly different, compared to other places.
What is pleasant about a place where young men are being killed every Eke market day?

No wonder the women there cannot find husbands or are single moms, because the men's lives are in great danger!

Do all Owerri households have access to pipe borne water supplies?

Abi their governors since 1999 are cluelessly corrupt progreThieves like the Lagos TAX monster planner, who is stealing increased IGR from greater tax burden on the people.

[quote author=Lanrelagboi post=133655707]Lagos has now crossed the 3 Trillion Naira annual budget mark. Crossed 2 Trillion in 2024.

Memory Lane: the first full-year Lagos State budget (Year 2000) in the 4th Republic was in the region of 40-something billion Naira. And it was described as “unprecedented” back then.

Hi but Lagos that I am living now for the past 15 yes I have not seen a single pipe water in Lagos from Lekki to Aja to Surulere to our estate here in igando...

Remember Lagos was a capital city built by all Nigerians and their wealth

So comparing it with war devastated Owerri isn't even fair


Give it to them
.. they have tried in building their regions even after war

Let's say the truth and admire them

I love owerri die. I had a lovely time there. My first love was from imo. My liver is from imo lol. Thise day at prefab different shows of babe parading. But if u want to insuktbother tribes talk about mabise, mbitolu, ideato, umudimu. They are brown roofs and detach leaves so before insulting other people remove d speck I'm ur eyes first. Owerri municipal had always been beautiful and bubbling but there are villages and rust roofs I'm imo state
Where the rust or brown roof dey in imo state?
You ppl just open your mouth and say what you don't know...

I love this. Well done to APC's Governor Hope Uzodimma.

God bless Imo State and the Federal Republic of Nigeria.


Smh.

Let me not permit your absolutely obscene ignorance to derail this tread. You have not seen real development and wealth before.
Awọn agba ofifo (the empty barrels) lo ma n pariwo.

OP, thank you for sharing.
What is special about fitting Christmas lights on roadsides? Oh, because he's in the APC, it's a groundbreaking achievement.

If he were a PDP governor, you wouldn't even have opened this thread.

You're taking this sycophancÿ too far, and it's beginning to take a toll on ur mental health.

Lol plsss ibadan is an ancient city compare to owerri and it won't destroy its culture just like my state edo state won't destroy its ancient culture. This is not a banter cisbibdont involve myself. I just say the truth. Owerri is a home to me but the truth must be said. Do u know how many Owerri u would remove inside ibadan or imo state you would remove inside oyo state? I keep telling people yoruba people have tradition and history and you can see it. They don't lie about thier history and don't fake it to impress any one.

Let's get this straight ...people keep using ancient city to excuse away Ibadan lack of progress...and it will be wrong to compare Ibadan with Owerri... Ibadan should be compared with Enugu cos they are regional capitals not Owerri that is provincial capital

Owerri, the capital of Imo State in southeastern Nigeria, has deep historical roots as an Igbo settlement.

However, the city was formally established as a British colonial administrative center in 1901.
This 1901 date is usually considered the “official” founding of modern Owerri....so Owerri is an ancient city also over 100 yrs old and Ibadan excuse isn't acceptable

Ibadan was established in 1829.

This date marks the founding of the modern Ibadan after the Yoruba conflicts of the early 19th century.
.. which is less than 20 - 30 yrs before the establishment of Owerri

So stop using Brown roof as excuse of lack of development and planning

Alexandria, Cairo are ancient cities yet they are planned and beautiful..why is Ibadan not towing that line ...same with other Yoruba cities !

Don't tell us Lagos even the Lagos we still have mid houses in the fringes like Ayobo, Ipaja, Ijegun etc and mind you Lagos was Nigeria capital city for decades or over a century developed with resources of Nigeria.... Yoruba didn't develop Lagos just like Bwari didn't develop Abuja

Before we argue... This is Owerri as of today
