Some of those things Samuelson iwuoha (aka ABOKI) wrote are true sha with some information i have

Shut up and go and face ur useless imo state. It is states like ur that has no economic value that the writer was referring to. Few Imo industrialists rather go to other states than investing at their home state just like Orange drugs. Why can't imo state put necessary actions in place to attract investors? The same reason okorosha has been owing 13 months salary to civil servants. Keep relying on federal allocations.

Abagworo:
We moved our businesses to Ogun, Lagos and Kano but keep acting like we dont want to be in Nigeria. I posted a picture of Kano and they were calling for my head. Keep developing other lands and keep pretending like you dont know. Ndewo

Abagworo is in order, imo state does not need industries. What it needs most is hotels, brothels and chalets. There are more women in imo state than men, so building industry will not make sense, brothels and chalets will make better economic sense. This will help boast its economy to be like Las Vegas.

asha80:
your reply here is hypocritical.first you are the one that seemed to be admiring nnamdi kanu when saying he is simply involved in propaganda without hurting anyone and i remember saying that preaching hate gets one no where.

Why did you not post the picture of Kano in Imo thread?shebi you are the one saying Imo does not need industries since our neighbours are deep into it so we should focus on tourism?what has the present Imo govt done to encourage industrialization in Imo so that at least Imo can absorb these guys supposedly relocating?

By the way I actually do not believe that aspect of Kano because I know Kano has been experiencing deindusrialization for some time now too..

by now you should know I am not interested in your abagworo bickering over Imo and anambra

Its not about bickering, its about what imo state needs most. I insist imo state needs brothels and chalets more than it needs industries and factories. Okorosha should do more to expand the chalet and brothel base of the state.

Imo state is among the distressed states.

Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has said that President Muham-madu Buhari would extend bailout to states to enable them offset backlog of salaries and liabilities crippling their economic activities across the country.

He made this known yesterday in Makurdi, the state capital, during separate meetings with students and other union leaders from the Benue State University, BSU.

Ortom further revealed that his predecessor, Gabriel Suswam left behind a debt burden of over N90 billion for his administration, contrary to the N9.2 billion debt as claimed by the former governor.

Benue is among the distressed states in the country. Others include Osun, Enugu, Kaduna, Plateau and Imo. Most of the states or their local governments are said to be owing between four to six months salaries of workers amounting to several billions of Naira.

However, according to Ortom, “the list of the debt (left behind by Suswam) include N50 billion incurred from ongoing contracts, N18 billion on certificated contracts, N12 billion on salary arrears and about N10 billion for bonds and bank facilities and loans.”

He stated that the President had agreed to avail the states some lifeline but noted that Benue State government had concluded arrangements to borrow funds to pay one month of the backlog of salary arrears across board and to also ensure the take off of both the executive and legislative arms of government.

He said the decision was prompted by the need to demonstrate to the state work force that he was determined to address their problems and to persuade striking tertiary institu-tion workers to call off their four-months-old strike.

Earlier, President of the BSU Students’ Union Government, Bobby Taver-shima, had lamented that students of the university had been at home for four months but assured that they would not do anything to jeopardize the administration.

Also, a representative of the National Associa-tion of Nigerian Students, NANS, Gideon Obande appealed to Ortom to clear arrears of bursary owed students in order to alleviate their sufferings.

You actually want abagworo to discuss this bitter, hurting reality about his state. You are on a long thing.

asha80:
In the light of the present dwindling oil revenue and low tax base of the state what can be suggested to raise revenue to continue capital much needed projects?scrapping of the free uni education,increasing tax?the mission school govt still runs and the original church owners want back what happens to them?whether we like it or not oil revenue is unlikely to bounce back to what it was before

Imo state does not have any need for industries. What it needs most is brothels and chalets.

What is imo state doing to stop this sort of ikwerre type buildings in owerre?

Abagworo:
I never ever said Imo does not need industries. What I wrote is that Government is not meant to build industries but we the natives. I often cited Nnewi model as a good thing to emulate among Igbos at least for a start. I always wrote that no Governor or government can claim any form of help given to Nnewi either in terms of power, road, housing or water supply. Almost everything there is through self help.

The Kano picture happened to be necessary here because of too much Igbotic buildings being posted. Real highrises help give a city good skyline .

You are right, I want to see owerre and entire imo state move away from this ikwerre type houses that litters owerre.

asha80:
it seems nobody wants to discuss this...or are we all going to bury our heads under the ground?

I just saw this. It is a shame that we have not been able to harness our revenue capabilities as a result of persistently flawed tax regime. Maybe Tinubu Lagos model should be employed in other Nigerian States. Nigeria is about the only country where people do not pay tax.

Heard Keke is about to be banned in Owerri. Remember I always complained of the eyesore they constitute to a sane mind. It is a welcome development. On the other hand indiscriminate building of flats which I termed Igbotic should be banned at least in Owerri. If one wants to build flats, it must be designed well and with lift.

What is imo state doing to change the economic fortunes so that imo state can move away from chalets and brothel based economy?

What are we doing to change the economic fortunes of owerre and imo state at large to move away from prostitution based economy to real and decent economy like other SE states?

Once you hit the ground, you will feel the vibe of Owerri, the capital of Imo State. The city is warm, with many things to keep visitors engaged. Known for its robust hospitality industry, Owerri is the destination of fun seekers. Visitors to Owerri will always have fond memories of the city as well as the longing to return. They will remember the nightlife. They will remember that most of the fine restaurants, hotels and fun spots are places to be in the night.

They know that Owerri has its fair share of nightclubs. While some of the clubs operate on their own, others are built inside hotels. Those who lodge in the hotels that operate nightclubs are admitted free, upon showing their room keys. Others pay gate fee. Expectedly, going by the active nightlife in the city, Owerri is brimming with prostitutes. Investigations revealed that commercial sex workers flock around popular hotels and fun spots, looking for men to hook.

Most of these sex workers are students in tertiary institutions in the state and neighbouring states. In the day, these students appear somewhat respectable on campus, but at night they wear a different cap. By their dressing you shall know them. They appear in low waist trousers, short gowns/micro mini skirts, midriff and breasts revealing tops and patrol premises of hotels with nightclubs.

One of the commercial sex workers told Saturday Sun, at the Rappour Hotel nightclub, that she comes around to earn money and take care of herself and siblings. Ijeoma, as she called herself, said: “I come to the club about three times a week to catch some fun, but nothing goes for nothing.”

Mr. Livinus Manukwem, an Owerri based businessman, the situation could not have been otherwise, every factor considered. “The sheer number of tertiary institutions in and around Owerri naturally creates the environment for people to indulge. I think there are more higher institutions in Owerri than in any other town in the country. Those setting up such facilities in Owerri are smart business people, taking advantage of the environment or situation. It is just like locating an industry where the raw materials for production abound,” he argued.

Open sex club One of the nightclubs offering “special services” is located unobtrusively off All Seasons Road, New Owerri. The club begins business from about 8pm. However, activities reach fever pitch from 10pm and continue till the wee hours.

This hangout is a white bungalow that hardly gives itself away. It looks like the regular club inside but without heavy décor and neon lights at the entrance. The regular dance hall is always almost empty, making one wonder how they manage to stay afloat. But if you wait long enough, you will notice young and middle aged men strolling into a passage on the left side of the dance hall. And that is where the real action is.

To go past barrel-chested bouncers manning an inner door, you must pay a gate fee of N1,000. There is an adjoining room also and both have something in common: Wild sexual obscenity.

The rooms are not well illuminated but bright enough for you to see what is being offered. Once you step in, the sight that greets you is that of a number of Unclad girls or at various stages of Unclothedness. The girls in bra and pants soon shed every piece of clothing, as the show gathers momentum.

The nightclub parades these girls in appreciable number. Unlike some strip bars where only a handful of girls entertain, this nightclub has them many. And they come in various sizes and shapes: slim, flat, tall, short, fair, dark. Again, unlike most Unclad clubs, where go-go girls exhibit their stuff on a platform, in this fun spot the girls offer more or less personal service. They move from one patron to another, showing the stuff they are made off.

Saturday Sun was at the nightclub recently. As soon as the reporter and two of his friends sauntered in, Unclad girls began to hover around them. About 12 of them were inside the room. Some were smoking cigarettes and drinking can beer, which is sold for N500 each.

Others were rocking to the pulsating music blasting from the speakers. They were making explicit sex remarks and gestures to the men, even as some playfully squeezed one another’s buttocks and breasts, like lesbians.

Shortly after the reporter walked in, Flavour’s monster hit, Ashawo, began to play. The tempo of the music seemed to energize the dancers and they did exotic dance steps and got wilder.

In corners, some of the girls were engaged in lap dance with men, who grabbed the opportunity with both hands, kissing, sucking breasts and caressing the lower region of the girls. The mischievous guys were inserting naira notes in between the thighs of the girls. As the guys titillated their bosoms, they squeezed the hard-on of their partners even as they asked to be “appreciated.” In this nightclub, to be “appreciated” is euphemism for “I need some money.”

The inner room is a shade darker and sleazier. There, the patrons and the girls get more intimate, engaging in all manner of sexual acts. Some of the strip dancers were sitting astride men even as others were caressing themselves. One of the girls, who gave her name as Marbel, said that for N2,000 she would engage in MouthAction with a man in the dark hall. It was gathered that a patron could also take any of the girls out for the night, for an agreed sum. The price depends on the time, desperation of the girl and bargaining power of the patron, but it could be anything between N5,000 and N10,000.

Private parties It was also learnt that the strip dancers equally entertain at private or house parties. According to one of the girls, who identified herself as Maureen, “If guys want to be entertained in a private apartment or hotel room, the girls would be willing. The price tag is N5,000 per girl for an outing of between four and five hours.”


She said: “You can have sex with a girl at the house party, but it is a personal thing. Of course, if you make a good offer a girl will not refuse it. It is a matter of cash.” She further said that if given at least two days notice, she can arrange for up to 30 girls for such special outing. She further said that payment must be made before the girls begin to drop their pants Dark, slim Maureen, who described herself as a professional dancer, sees nothing wrong with strip dancing. “It is like every other profession.

I personally like to dance and if I strip while dancing, what is the big deal? On the issue of sex, everybody is doing it. Female bankers do have sex; medical doctors have sex; actresses have sex; teachers have sex; lawmakers and ministers have sex. In fact, every person is having sex with the people they like or under whatever arrangement. It’s just that people pretend a lot. Some civil servants have sex with more men in a week than strip dancers,” she said.

An insider told Saturday Sun: “Some of the strip dancers are students and they pay their bills with the money they make. But all the dancers are not students. Some of the girls come from poor homes, so they use what they make at the bar to take care of themselves and families. Single mothers and young widows are also among them.

It was also gathered that more girls are coming to the club almost on daily basis seeking to be registered as strippers. One of the requirements is that the girls must be 18 years and above.

banning keke in owerri is just laughable..how does doing that generate revenue for imo govt?we are talking about generating revenue to run the state due to financial state of the country at the moment you are talking beauty and igbotic houses?so what is the alternative to keke after it had been banned?taxi?in owerri ?are you insane?

Before you sink your mind into tinubu model for Imo what has the present Imo govt done to expand the tax base of the state?

Designed with lift abi?average individuals building houses go carry lift for mind in Nigeria epilieptic power situation..very funny you will tell me why Lagos state govt that built rentage flats of up to three stories did not factor in lift Na individuals go factor in lift

If Owelle bans keke, he will invest more in brothels that way more women will be recruited and more employment created.

How I Started Prostitution At The Age 12

Blessing Ozoemena
I was 12 years old and still in primary school when the enemy started working on how to destroy me, but God did not permit him. Then the enemy projected in me the spirit of stealing. He also projected the spirit of stubbornness in me. I began to steal in my school. I used to steal pencil, biro and so on. Sometimes, they would apprehend me and the teachers would report me to my father, who would pay for the biro and then flog me. I did not change from this behaviour and for this reason, my father disowned me. Thereafter, I went to live with my mother and step father.
Later, a friend of mine took me to Owerri, the Imo State capital where she introduced me to the life of prostitution. She deceived me because she told me that she was taking me to a company where I would work, but when I got here I realized that it was to work as a call girl. There at Owerri, I learnt how to smoke cigarette.

The only source of revenue for a State is taxation. Ability to establish transparent and effective tax regime is equal to increased IGR. Do you have any idea on how to increase tax base without rapid influx of direct investments either foreign or local? I believe that now APC is in power at federal levels, foreign investors will have confidence in Imo State.

He is not going off point. What is the action plan on the ground for the economic development of imo state rather than trading on prostitution?

Abagworo:
You are going off topic. I addressed the picture as a separate issue. Igbos believe in investing wherever they earn most. They fail to realise the damage it does to their homeland.

How do u expect imo state IGR to grow beyond the coins they are collecting now when the state has none existent economy except few brothels? Let okorosha build more brothels.

Ozoemena is not even a name borne in Imo State. Odoemele, Odoemela, Ozoemela, Ozoemele. We all need to help reduce prostitution. Your level of love for anything prostitution shows you are a grand patron in that field. Change! for the kingdom of God is at hand.

Fool, read it again. The girl is from imo state. Imo state is the Nigeria's head quarters of prostitutes.

What is okorosha doing about this ugly trend?

You cannot talk about prostitution without talking about imo state because that is the only area of the economy they have absolute advantage.

Abagworo is a well known pauper in Borokiri area of PH. Even at his old age he is still putting up with his old poor mother. Abagworo's only pain is because only ikwerre-type-houses litters owerre. I know that dude and his mindset more than u all.

Abagworo shebi you say you have money and also rich,why.not go and build high rises in owerri and set and eg to others iinstead of all these lamentations about igbotic houses that has nothing to do with what I earlier posted about

Donatus, it is ur b.astard brother that branded our type of houses here. He is actually suffering from inferiority complex and low esteem. Please stay here and settle with him. We dont want una wahala abeg!

emmysoftyou:
Which one is igbotic building again?

I just dey hear this one first the first time o
After insulting the yorubas race of building their houses like ancient day and calling it red roof..lol.
Una dey find name wey una go give una sef..
Ndigbos..

Am sure a yoruba guys is reading all this altercation and very soon,he will start commenting and calling eastern houses,igbotic building?lol

ndigbos,when will you wake up and start loving each other and taking all eastern places as your own irrespective of the state they re in...?

anambra is part of igboland,likewise imo,ebonyi,ph,enugwu,ikwerre,etche,asaba,aba.etc.

I ve told my friends,my brothers and even my neighbours that the igbos that stays in the east(ph,onitsha,owerri,aba,enugu) re different frm us here in lagos and kano..

yu guys re something else,i swear...

As far as i am concern,nigeria is not yet develop at all..
Lagos is worst ,kano is trying while onitsha is trying to meet up but very small in landmass.
may God help us to witness changes and drastic development in the east,west and north one day..
Cos i ve not seen any state in nigeria that can compete with western states..
not even the pix of akwa ibom,lagos,anambra,imo.calabar and enugwu can make me gullible..
Those states re still learning.QED.

Abagworo:
You wrote this



and I replied

You should be ashamed of urself u clown. Why not bother urself with the shanties and ikwerre type houses that litters owerre.

Abagworo:
I started using that term in reference to a peculiar kind of mostly 3 and 4 storey buildings that characterise Southeastern cities. Surulere in Lagos has a lot of such buildings. Ordinarily it is a good thing but it is not pleasant as a result of lack of homogenity and space making the cities look like South American slums.

I am only making suggestions that we should build them to look more appealing and then build real skyscrapers to give the real city feel.

Abagworo what is okorosha doing about the Ikwerre-type slums that litters all over owerre? Do u want picture confirmation?

asha80:

Rochas Okorocha suffered a lot of obvious victimization under Jonathan. Lagos and Ogun were not treated so because Jonathan wanted their votes. Did Jonathan send Olamide to snatch mic from Fashola? We all know what happened. Buhari's victory freed Imo State from deliberate victimization.

Shut up animal, was that why an average imo state girl is a runs girl? Was GEJ responsible for the brothels that are all over owerre? Was GEJ responsible for the I.diot called okorosha not being able to attract a single investor for 4yrs? Useless people

Let me just watch and see investment flow into Imo now that the center and Imo supposedly on the same page

This hotel though only a 9 storey building is ok. If we can build all those 4 storey buildings like this our cities would have looked better.
