whirlwind7: Planning? Orlu urban roads criss cross Orlu town like the urban roads of Aba. In a broadcast, former governor Rochas Okorocha boasted that Orlu will never have the type of traffic gridlock of Owerri- due to the way Orlu urban roads are laid. Orlu urban planning was done during the early 1970s by a particular Divisional officer or Local govt chairman who opened the numerous urban roads in Orlu municipal LGA. People have built and live by those roads but no government re to asphalt the roads. 1 Like |

Osagyefo98: E no go better for you people in Imo state. You fight against nature. Orlu and Owerri were nearly on the same level of urban development in 1976 - Owerri slightly ahead. In Europe and America, a settlement the size and population of Orlu is an undisputed urban centre. Retrogressive people like you in Imo state who apparently have never lived beyond Owerri zone, take pride in having Owerri as the only modern urban centre in Imo state. You get from some political leaders in Orlu senatorial district. These political leaders from Orlu zone you get from see one or two old politicians in Orlu urban LGA as enemies; therefore they foolishly see the whole Orlu urban LGA as enemy territory, deny modern development to Orlu, instead develop Owerri area. When they leave office, their hometowns in Orlu zone remain rural or even deteriorate. The man who started the Iberiberism/Ohashieremism talk toward the end of his 8 years tenure - too late then. 5 Likes |

WalkerMichael: Posters of Owerri bad roads online don’t even care to look beyond Owerri in Imo state. They want Owerri to be like London overnight while the next towns in Imo state continue to descend to 18th century standard. Their successive governors of the state also dance to their music. |

Kriss216: Iberiberibesim of Rochas? Rochas as governor of 8 years built everything he considered as development in Owerri as he believed he was fighting his enemies in Orlu, believed that those enemies were Orlu. He relegated Orlu to rural areas status. Today, both Ogboko and Orlu are like shitholes, while Owerri laments any small pothole on Rochas Boulevards in Owerri. It’s like Rochas acts are replaying in the present istration. Not confirmed yet. Govs from Orlu zone never understand that urban development expands from urban areas to rural areas, never the other way round. |

massmediang: Owerri Road Primary Schools in Orlu have never received asphalt since 2007, whereas this Orlu Road Primary School Owerri must have been asphalted for more than 3 times since 2007. Orlu roads never cross any body’s mind because governors from Imo state have been bamboozled to believe that Imo state is Owerri - they act as Imo state is Owerri.

He foresaw most of these things coming. Your hats up for him. You know who? Mazi Nnamdi Kalu. Most of the north had since embraced Sharia criminal laws, unconstitutionally, since 1999. That was the start of break up for Nigeria. Don’t dare say Biafrauuud again, unless you have lost all grey matter in your head. 1 Like |

Dedetwo:I quote you: “..flooded Umuahia with industries.” “...few industries cited in Umuahia..” Are you sure you are mentally sound or you are running amok, as you strive to call every town, except Owerri, a backwater? If people of Owerri are industrious, Owerri should have developed beyond Enugu considering the large number of institutions that induce modern development concentrated in Owerri. In 40 years, capital development budgets of Imo state had gone to provide for Owerri, but no show.. in Owerri today, except hotels. 1 Like |

Dedetwo: What has Owerri being provincial headquarters of wherever got to do with level of urbanization of Owerri when Imo state was created; and Umuahia more developed and more urbanized than Owerri then? No argument that Umuahia was more developed with industries and more urbanized than Owerri in 1976 when old Imo state that included Umuahia was created. Even till today, Owerri has no industry of repute - only hotels that useless young university students. After creation of old Imo state with Owerri, not Umuahia as capital, Owerri got more urbanized than Umuahia because of all universities and polytechnics in Imo state that got located in Owerri through primitive greed of Owerri people who lobbied for them and never gave any consideration for what can induce modern development in Orlu and in other areas of Imo state. What industries have pea-brained folks like you from Owerri established in Owerri to induce modern development in Owerri, except chasing for and covet government development institutions for Owerri? 1 Like |

When the Jews left Israel, they scattered all over the world. Thereafter, Jews of many skin colors and creed gradually emerged. It’s now who is able to trace his/her ancestry to Jewish, as well as who the Jews who returned to Israel from 1948, are willing to accept as a Jew. |

If Nigeria’s government believes that people who enter Nigeria shall pay for COVID-19 Tests on them, the government is not serious. This is another way to increase corruption in the system. It’s either the government provides and funds special testing Centres in every state, or forget about test after entry. 1 Like |

That follow-up tests after 7 days of arriving in Nigeria must become an extortion system for the Labs and test enforcers. The extortionists shall visit returnees homes and even send other extortion agents. Government needs to review that aspect considering that many lives were lost on the hands of corrupt and overzealous enforcers of COVID-19 regulations. 3 Likes |

Golan007: It’s like you are a Yoruba and rooting for a Yoruba to succeed PMB. I can see some characteristic cheap blackmail on the Igbo flowing from you. If that is the case, you are rooting for a northerner to succeed PMB. Do the Math - if you can. |

Ayomi90: Nigeria rotates its presidency between north and south due to the skewed political structure of 36 states and Abuja, with 19 states and Abuja in the north. No Yoruba or Igbo can win presidential election unless north agrees to the Yoruba or Igbo person to win. It’s not democracy in Nigeria. It’s usually a President emerging after political gangs have pointed to one candidate who must win. |

MelesZenawi: In the Uk, people of Scotland do not pretend that the wealth on the soil of London is Scottish wealth; Scots can’t even take it as commonwealth. There is fiscal federalism in the Uk. Areas use wealth in their places to develop their areas, then pay tax to the central government. No militants in the UK. 6 Likes |
