[color=#006600][/color]still on the matter

asha80:
this is exactly what I expected rochas to do earlier ie rehabilitate the old structures before building new ones

Abagworo:
I thought you were in Imo last Xmass. This statement is meant to come from someone who has not visited for a while. I still maintain that what Okorocha did in 4 years is unbelievable to me as an observer.

lygn19:
I wonder d kind of architects rochas uses for his constructions and designs... they keep designing rubbish.

Charlesdonald:
we need to see the hotel pics nah

asha80:
I was at home yes but okorocha did not start out rehabilitating old structures before building new ones..the opposite was the case as is govt colledge owerri where he built a new structure but old dilapidated ones are still there which makes no sense..i expected him to rehabilitate old structures of both primary and secondary(like I see him doing in ikenegbu girls and holyghost colledges which I saw) instead of just putting those his new buildings alongside dilapidated structures that are abound.

Abagworo:
What you wrote is right and many of those old structures will be knocked off and rebuilt in due time. The work on secondary schools started in late 2014 and has been very fast while the 305 primary schools started in 2012. I do not have the target number of secondary schools to be rebuilt but I have seen like 4 completed ones around Owerri.

asha80:
I hope that is what he does or plans to do ie knocking down old structures to be replaced by new ones because I actually hated the former scenario..those holy ghost and ikenegbu girls rehabilitation I saw was exactly what I expected him to do earlier and to be honest I saw the reconstruction work I saw

Chiwude:
Rochas has exceeded all expectations in his first tenure. I hope he does better as we Imolites supports him for Governorship come february. However, as for presidency I think GEJ will sweep the SE including Imo state.

Abagworo:
More like looking for fault where none exists

Abagworo:

RareDiamond:

Charlesdonald:

mandax:
ORO repairs Owerri Colleges.

See the road to oldest all Girls Secondary School - Morning Star - in Orlu urban LGA. This road total about 1km, been in abandon like this for three years. Inside the dillapidating school cpd, u go weep. Up Gov. Owelle Rochas Okorocha.

RareDiamond:
I doubt it because the hotel lack space for swimming pool. The hotel appears compact but beautiful.

Abagworo:
This place is a village and that road looks to be under construction. To calm your high blood pressure Mr Mandax, take a trip to Ibari Ogwa for some nice time. I suggest you take old layer point and kill. Its just 3k and you will enjoy it.

mandax:
this Orlu Girls school is about half a mile from Orlu centre. Village Kee - there are villages in centre of Paris.

ORO, please put common coaltar for road for school children - haba - children passing through mud for 3 years.

Charlesdonald:
