Enugu.
Forget the silence nowhere is free of eyesore. Imo State probably has the least of it. I won't post pictures but do your research or journey into Enugu State then compare. Have you ever been to Eha Amufu?

A private hospital the man built to remember his late father is what you are calling an achievement? Shame on all sycophants!

Relax bro Oguta is developed, Orlu is developed, Nkwerre is developed, Amaigbo is developed and in fact 80% of Imo State is developed by Nigerian standard. New Owerri is unarguably one of the most beautiful places in Nigeria.

That shows you know absolutely nothing about how government works. Who is in charge of Ochiedike? A white man. Which government agency in Nigeria is run by a foreigner? Did you see any indication on the sign post that shows it is owned by the government? Are the workers under government payroll? Get some knowledge, my dear and stop allowing fraudulent people to lead you on with their grand deceit.

Did you read the part that said an Israeli will run it for 15 years or would you prefer it's made a Government thing where workers won't work but expect pay after running it down.

Local contractors can openly break contracts and not receive Massive fines and or prison, Licenses revoked etc. That seems terribly weak state you live in. Who runs the bidding for contracts.

Emmaugoh, no part of Imo state is developed. None whatsoever. Concorde area has so many bad spots, especially around All Seasons axis, Bonbolini axis, Akanchawa is terrible, Nekede old road, impassable. Douglas, death trap. Government house area, i mean shell camp proper is a death trap. Let these shameless sychophants tell us exactly what part of Imo state is developed. If Owere, the capital city is in such a terrible state, which other part will be spared?

Dont mind them..Some people are not even ashamed of lying, even when they know the evil their lies will bring about.....most places better in imo state are places previous goverment has worked on before Rochas...the Only thing I know Owelle is good is Beautifying ever junction in Imo state ...constructing flyovers and building massive image for sight seeing... But for over 5 yrs Owelle and his incompetent team has not deviced a way to stop massive traffic jam along control to douglas road every morning and evening...i met same traffic jam in 2011 and in 2016 its still there...


I dont worship mediocre...Rochas is not working up to expectation.

FIRST IMO TUNNEL AND PROPAGANDA SURROUNDING IT

The first Imo Tunnel was the first of such construction in the State. The construction of the tunnel at the Concorde junction by Portharcourt was borne out of good intentions by the Govt of the day in Imo to improve on and ease traffic congestion around that area and add to aesthetics in comformity with Urban Renewal of the State in general. But,because of the bad intentions, and bitterness borne in mind by detractors and enemies of the State,the Tunnel constructed out of noble idea has suddenly become a tool for propaganda. Yes,a Tool For Propaganda in the hands of microscopic few mainly Youthswho do not have the interest of Imo our dear State at heart.

Few days ago,some few Imo Youths operating under the aegis of Frontline Social Media Team just woke up at middle of the day and discovered that water percolates under the tunnel under construction. They went as far as uploading pictures of the flooded tunnel just to hoodwink the unsuspecting public into believing the project was substandard. Before taking the individuals serious here,a reasonable and sane person would want to know why it was just two days ago percolation of such magnitude was noticed by the so called Group.

The tunnel was not just opened for use two or three days ago. It's on record that the tunnel has been in use for months now and no such flooding was noticed, as motorists ply under the tunnel. Which goes a long way to prove that something was responsible for flooding of the tunnel some days ago. Yes,the Nigerian Metrological Agency(NIMET) had predicted a forthnight ago about flooding of some places in the Country occasioned by heavy rains. If the members of this Group would be sincere enough to make the truth their own,they would have been privy to flood reports in some parts of Kaduna,Lagos,Benin,Kogi States and our own Imo respectively. If no such flooding had occurred within the tunnel before now and such occurred just three days ago around the tunnel,then the predictions by NIMET came to pass. The photos below shows the members of the Group at The Tunnel Site taking pictures. Even,at the point of their taking these pictures, there was no sign of flooding in the tunnel. This reveals the intentions behind the activities of this group.

This Group had also brought Enugu Tunnel and Imo Tunnel into comparison. It is imperative to know at this juncture that,The design concepts of the two tunnels are the same. But,the construction principles cum details are not same. In the case of Enugu tunnel,the ground level/topography was not altered. The tunnel was constructed of which after, laterite was piled up above it to create the impression a tunnel was bore through the rocks. With such design concept no noticeable flooding takes place. But,in the case of Imo, the Portharcourt road level was maintained which necessitated excavations underground to create the tunnel passing under the existing Portharcourt Road. With such construction, there tends to be noticeable flooding by runoffs generated therein. Is not as if there are no drainage facilities in the tunnel to address flooding. There is. The tunnel is under Test Run. Even,at this point the tunnel is still under construction as there is work in progress of which the members of this Group are fully aware.

Now that defaults are being noticed on the well thought out tunnel which was one of the reasons why the Imo Tunnel is undergoing Test Run, one would expect any sane,reasonable, sound-minded individual(s) to mount a constructive criticism and if possible profer solutions than destructive criticism. There is nothing wrong in suggesting to a Govt what can be done to address some issues from opposition. But,in a situation where the opposition members in Imo are bereft of such ideas that tends to solve problems, those are the kind of what u see here. Always looking for issues to cash in on,most atimes none issues.

Now,that such default has been noticed, corrective measures are put in place. The Responsive Govt of Owelle Rochas Okorocha is on top of the matter towards addressing the issues noticed to forestall future occurrence. No Shaking.

Imo State wu nke anyi,whether one likes it or not and It Must Be Better In Our Time.

Underground pass is no road tunnel.

Are you sure you know what a road tunnel looks like?
Normally, road tunnels are built by breaking rocks and soil under a mountain or a hill to make a road that joins one part of an area to another.

That tunnel you people celebrate, the road junction the underground pass was meant to serve could have been manned by traffic lights or traffic wardens.

Because you guys from Owerri believe that tunnels and flyovers are signs of mega city, you pressure Gov. Okorocha to waste Imo state money on Owerri while other towns like Orlu and Okigwe remain glorified villages.

Traffic lights you suggest but with what power. Even when I was in abuja half the lights on major street are mere decorations. What's the point of building lights if they don't turn on. I agree with post overall btw.

Shame to most parochial and destructive set of people in Imo state.

Shame to their propagandists of falsehood.

Where is Imo state university teaching hospital Orlu where previous governments of Imo state had invested tens of billions of Naira and was recorded among the tenth best teaching hospitals in Nigeria before 2012? Before 2012, the more than 200 bed hospital was full of patients 24/7.

Now, the teaching hospital is nearly overgrown with weeds with no access road.

If Imo state survives this macabre dance by 2019, it shall be grateful to God.

Those Goverments built nonsense and claimed billins. IMSUTH before Okorocha had nothing but a few bungalows with iron roofs and so was IMSU. Visit IMSU today and see the improvement as well as the teaching hospital. I believe we deserve a new site for IMSUTH with befitting infrastructure.

A new site in the STATE CAPITAL? We are aware that you guys are obsessed with the idea of CAPITAL. Those who created states, senatorial zones and local government areas in order to enhance even development all over Nigeria must look at you people obsessed with STATE CAPITAL as belonging to the STONE AGE.

When you start nursing some EVIL intentions now in Imo state, you shall see people take off the attires of gentlemen and patience and descend upon you as savages.

Don't take patience for weakness.

In Orlu of course. The new University is in Ogboko and I have a feeling the teaching hospital will be moved to Ideato axis.

You are right about improvement in IMSU but that has got nothing to do with the state govt. Almost all new projects you see going on there including the ongoing Senate Building are down to TETFund intervention.
Imo State govt under Rochas Okorocha as with many state govts hasn't invested much in the state university.
My comment is not just for the sake of argument, I speak as one who knows.

TETfund is under the State and University control like UBEC so the Governor deserves some credit. Those before him did not make good use of the funds.

Meanwhile let's take a look at a tunnel in another unmentioned Southeastern city.
