This is a good development. We should create another Lagos in South East so others can stop telling us to 'Go Back Home'
Rich Igbo people should bring strategic and coordinated developments to South East.
Imo State should be Igbo Tourism Haven
Anambra State Should be Igbo Industrial Haven
Abia State Should be Igbo Commercial Haven
Ebonyi State should be Igbo Agro Industrial Haven
Enugu State should be Igbo Service Industry Haven
I wish we have a thinking, apolitical and respectable Ohaneze that could coordinate this development strategy with governors for implementation.
In future, Alaigbo will ensure to elect governors from one political platform such as the new LP or APGA so they can have one Igbocentric voice without distraction from parties that do not have Igbo interest at heart.

It won't work like that, one place should be developed very well to compete with Lagos, you can't scatter development like This and get good results. Concentrate on getting Owerri roads asphalted, widened and sweet the roads, get it right and finish those skyline Okorocha Started that was abandoned, concentrate on one place to create a new Morden city with few skylines and see it spread all over the ading towns.

You are like: let Britain concentrate on developing London first to touch skyline with broad streets, but leave Manchester, Birmingham, Coventry, etc to wait.

Primitive greed.
Walahi, there are too many semi-illiterates on Imo state issues.
So if they make you Imo gov tomorrow, you will begin to broaden Owerri
streets and build Owerri to touch skyline, while other cities and rural areas of Imo state wait.
You are talking bullshitt. Your talk can be good talk to any equally semi-literate governor in Imo state.

It's quite unfortunate that many Nairalanders don't make their points without insulting people, but it's a norm we have to live with here. Like I tell those who care to listen, "Education without character is a threat to the society." The truth is, I agree with the guy you quoted completely.

You need to build a decent city that will attract the kind of people you need in your state. Those people you want to live and invest in your state should see a befitting city to live in.

We should all be worried that many returnees of Igbo extraction prefer to live in Lagos, Abuja or Port Harcourt to living in the East.

They are not stupid; they have their reason for doing that. The answer is simple - those places have the kind of sophisticated people, services, clubs, etc. they used to enjoy where they come from.

While it is good to build a world-class city that offers all the services that anyone can possibly think of, government shouldn't entirely neglect the rural areas to avoid rural-to-urban-area migration.

Stop hiding under the word state in Imo state to sell a development system strange to the rest of the world.
It's like me suggesting that we use IMSG funds to first build Orlu to touch the skyline for investors to have a beautiful city in Imo state, let Owerri wait by the way. I will not subscribe to that. No truly educated people will subscribe to that.

Education that spews primitive development ideas and falsehood in Imo state is as good as, if not worse, than Education without character.

You don't see yourself as a smart thief, unarguably from Owerri like Dispatico?
How can any saner person think of building up only one place in a state but leave out other places?
It's 47 years, except Mbakwe era, when foolish governors have been building up Owerri. What do we have? Ghettos surrounding old and New Owerri. Ghettos without any social amenities, but concrete buildings.
If Imo had been having good governors, places like Orlu, Okigwe Oguta etc should have been modern cities by now for investors.

Maduawuchukwu:
When will we give Hope Uzodimma his flowers? The guy has done quite well especially in road construction and tackling insecurity.

Hope Uzodinma is mediocre and horrible , nothing out of ordinary . Zero charisma , just build roads and install APC loyalists finish . No vision , no ingenuity

NwekereNdoki:


I don;t agree with the PPP thought, but that's the only graph i can lay hands on

What did you say Abia did again ? Enyimba economic city is a paper project and has been abandoned by the incompetent Ikpeazu

Uzodinma builds only urban and rural roads in and around Owerri, and roads linking Owerri to other parts of Imo state.
Because he sees himself as not from Orlu, he can't do anything urban devt. here; therefore, he can't do anything outside Owerri area. Poverty of intelligence.

I try not engage ignorant people sha...

But please read up something before u have opinion

Abia your state is the worst and most backward state in Nigeria, that's the point he is making

Imo should be tourism haven, industry haven, commercial haven, ago and service. Every normal society in the world as all in all cities and states. It's only bantustans that have 1 and think that is development

Owerri and Aba are the two worst towns with the worst infrastructures in southern Nigeria

Grgton:
is this the current state of roads in ABA??
Looks great

Grgton:
Enugu citizens should make better choice now
Elect someone like chime

Imo state deserves to get it right in the coming poll. Uzodinma as a 419 kingpin has nothing to offer. Millions of imo indigenes are running to Enugu, Anambra even ebonyi to live

Imo state is very unsafe and a state of emergency should be declared there

https://nairaland.unblockandhide.com/7603477/gunmen-set-imo-house-assembly

The country home of the People's Democratic Party candidate for the state House of Assembly, Ifeanyi Ozoemena, was on Tuesday, March 7, set ablaze in Okigwe Local Government Area of Imo State, IGBERETV reports.

The gunmen also burnt down another house belonging to Ozoemena’s father during the attack carried out around 2pm. They reportedly operated unchallenged.

Ozoemena confirmed the development. He said;

“My house and that of my father at Umuokparaoha village in Umulolo community in the Okigwe Local Government Area of Imo State were razed on Tuesday.

They struck around 2pm, set the houses on fire and supervised the burning. The two houses and the properties got destroyed in the attack. They operated unchallenged. I am distraught. This is unfortunate.

“I call on the Commissioner of Police to intervene. I am grateful that no life was lost. My aged parents were not around when they struck.”

Frustrated envious slow poke and vagabond, the guy told you the bitter truth.

All the roads in Owerri and imo state at large are dilapidated, this is why most imo indigenes prefer to live in Anambra because it has good infrastructures. .

Owerri and Aba are the two worst towns in igboland and southern Nigeria at large.

Onitsha is like America compare to Owerri and Aba.

I am from imo, but truth be told, Owerri is such a glorified rural area. Even though aba is equally a slum, but aba looks better than Owerri. At least aba now has a functioning flyover but Owerri has none.

Grgton:
i know you slow poke is definitely going to quote meou can see how few roads from ABA is trashing Anambra roads with good welllayed drainages, roarkings etcI was thinking onitsha and Aba are in the same train but I'm surprised seeing Aba urban renewal progress...

I am from mbaise imo state, but truth be told, Onitsha is like America compare to Owerri and aba. This is why most imo indigenes prefer to live and invest in Onitsha

Though aba is bad, but it has overtaken Owerri which is still largely a glorified village

Kingsbuchi:


ABA has overtaken Owerri since naa

Louder hahaha

Aba has been a better city than Owerri right from time. Driving through Owerri will make you wonder if it is a rural area

Pictures: Owerri

The argument should be between the two worst towns in southern Nigeria, which are Aba and Owerri. Because Onitsha is like America compare to those backward shithole towns.

Incidentally, imo and abia are equally the two worst and most backward states in southern

Grgton:
this should be Aba and onitshaOwerri shouldn't be in this category

As an imo indigene, condition of Owerri always make me feel inferior whenever this kind of discussion comes up. Owerri is quite unbefitting as a state capital. Owerri should be demolished and rebuilt from scratch

Lol accept the simple truth. The reason you are here crying is because you are aware that Owerri is a glorified village and it is paining you, no wonder you keep coming here to cry.

Listen, there's a reason millions of imo indigenes prefer to live in Onitsha, it is because Owerri is a village. Imo is yet to have a befitting city they can be proud of. It is not trolling but being sincere with you

As bad as aba is, it is still better than Owerri. It is shameful really lol

Onitsha on the other hand is like America compare to Owerri and aba. Fact

Kingsbuchi:

l your signature comments are hilarious...
Truth is bitter, nobody is trolling Onitsha, I stated the fact... Onitsha is nowhere bear ABA now

Mumu man, at least you agreed that Owerri is a glorified rural area. Ntoor lol

Grgton:
you are really dumb sir

I quite agree with you on this. After watching the video of Owerri I became really ashamed of being an imo indigene. I now realised why most imo indigenes would rather prefer to live in Onitsha, Enugu, Awka and even Abakaliki of yesterday

Mumu owerri pig. The comparison is very cool. Onitsha is like America compare to Owerri, that's why millions of imo indigenes prefer to live and invest in Onitsha. Owerri is a glorified rural area. Stop crying and be sincere to yourself for once

Grgton:
between onitsha and America
You are such a pig

As for investment, most imo indigenes prefer to invest in Onitsha. I don't know if Owerri is cursed that our people don't want to invest there except building brothels for prostitutes

Owerri is the worst state capital in southern Nigeria. There is a reason most imo indigenes prefer to live in Onitsha, Enugu and Awka.

Imo state is yet to have a befitting signature city where other igbos can relocate to.

Most imo indigenes are either running to Onitsha or Enugu or Awka and even Abakaliki to live. No one comes to live in Owerri. Why?

Onitsha, Enugu, Awka, Abakaliki are the best igbo cities. Owerri and Aba are chaotic disted slums and shanties.

Grgton:
There is no amount of your ignorance that would change what Owerri is become today...E has only two main cities to match the taste of time..
It's either Enugu or owerri The rest are urban chaos without planning and organization
