I heard that the yorubas are the most educated tribe in Nigeria. Is that true?

I am not saying it because i am yoruba. I am Edo as a matter of fact.

Any documentated facts?

Owerri started being state capital since 1976, that's the point made.

Since that 1976, funds that should have gone to provide development infrastructures in entire Imo state of then and now were being mostly deployed on development in Owerri alone - at the negligence of infrastructural development in the entire Imo state. This ugly situation exists only in Imo state, and must be condemned and stopped; that's the message I brought.

millionaireman:
Certain: so long as too many Imolites, including their governors, continue to believe that every important infrastructural development in Imo state must be in Owerri, and that discussions about Imo state must revolve only about Owerri, so long Imo state must continue to be least developed among the states created same time with it in 1976 - as it is now.

Neighbouring Anambra state created many many years after Imo state now has three evidently large and urbanized cities like 'Osha, Nnewi and Awka;

Akwa Ibom state prides itself with large modern cities like Uyo, Eket, Ikot-Ekpene etc;

but Imolites are always peeing on their trousers about Owerri, Owerri, and Owerri. With this attitude, Imolites drive all their governors into doing "showmnaship" development only in Owerri for four years - and even more.

millionaireman:
Pls get my drift: an Imo governor doing some eye-catching projects in the state capital, but extends a few roads outside the state capital: that may make the next governor of Imo state after Rochas Okorocha to continue in that trend; and even pocket the money meant for infrastructural development in the rest of 26 Imo LGAs; and we keep clapping for developments in Owerri.


There is everything 100% wrong in Imo state "governors decide to focus first on owerri before thinking on what to do with okigwe nd orlu." Remember the governors have done this since 1976; about 39 years since Imo state was created.

In the past three years or so, Orlu for example, has been depopulated with migration to Owerri. If we continue like this, there may not be space
in future in Owerri.

Nature129:
Please I need updated pix of the 3 new universities Rochas embarked on in Imo State so as to know if they have been abandoned or still work in progress. Also, you guys should stop all these irrelevant arguments and comparison between Igbo and Ikwerre, and imo and Anambra. Stick to the subject, Imo State. Thanks

OdenigboAroli:
Thats where you get it wrong,the name "Anambra" is not a "mere" name. It carries alot of weight and pride...The mystic Omanbala river is the largest tributary to Orinmili Niger. Its a namr that depicts a people filled with beautiful culture,wealth and pride. Its the name of the river that enriches the agricultural belt around it. This river is where the legendary Eri settled and and beget his descendants...Alot of Omanbalas make their sacrifices at the River Omanbala and it hold a great destiny for them. So mr. emmysoft or whatever they call you it would be better you stfu than open it and spew nonsense.

RareDiamond:
I like the fact that you love and admire your state but that doesn't stop anybody from mentioning Anambra State. Don't make a big deal of nothing.

mandax:
Intellect? A person of intellect would first answer the two questions posed, before going further.

mandax:
@ROYALD. simple questions, no vex: which is more important and may help a governor for re-election -

1, governor providing people with pipe-borne water; or governor building an expensive govt house?

2, are there projects completed like that govt house by governor in other parts of imo?

UnknownT:
don't get stuck living in thge "future"
