Very nice! Where is this?

In New Owerri I guess.

I think I will do my Easter holidays in Owerri. I've heard so much good of new Owerri and I like exploring. Can't forget my last easter in Zaria. Africa is the cradle of civilization.

The truth is hurtful..

The worthless state can't even afford to pay ordinary salary, is it infrastructure that it will embark on? But someone is here deceiving himself just to feel good..

Kai, onyeara a abiakwa. But the worthless state is still richer and more progressive than your state in all ramification.

Hopeless pig from piggery state are you back? LOL

It is a worthless and bankrupt state because my state can buy it up like biscuit and use it as a rice farmland. Do you get that pig?

idiot, stupid man. your action always shows that you don't know anywhere in Igboland and as such, not an Igbo person.

PAPDA Takes Up Over 2000 Shops at Mgbidi International Market
01 Sep 2015

Bennett Oghifo

The Phones and Allied Product Dealers Association (PAPDA), Computer Village Business People in Ikeja, Lagos, have purchased a total of 2500 shops at the Heartland Gateway International Market under construction in Mgbidi, Imo State.
The g of the purchase agreement was done recently at the office of M.I. Okoro & Associates, the marketing firm to the project, in Ikoyi, Lagos State.

Present at the g were the President, Phones & Allied Products Dealers Association (PAPDA), Chief Godfrey Iyke Nwosu; the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Graceland Channels Ltd, the developers, Pastor Nat Omoruyi; Special Assistant to the Governor of Imo State and Liaison Officer in Lagos, Mr. Alfred O. Ononugbo; and the Principal Consultant M.I. Okoro & Associates, Dr. M.I. Okoro; President, Imo State Town Union, Lagos, Pastor Okey Anorue; Lawyers, among others.
By this, the Computer Village Business People, Ikeja, have shown interest in the re-energizing of Imo state economic activities in Eastern Nigeria.

The re-energizing of Imo state economic activities is to be achieved through the development of 10,000 lock up shops, warehouses, housing estates and other facilities.

Mr. Ononugbo, who represented Governor Rochas Okorocha advised the business people to have “an integrity-driven market. If our people buy a product for N30,000 then give them a product that is worth N30,000.”

He urged other business people to take advantage of the market and stake their claim, saying the government was prepared to give them incentives like tax rebate to enable them function properly.

He assured them of security and that the governor was keen on getting the market and other business components in the state on track. “It will be regrettable for anyone to place politics with the destiny of the Igbo Race.”

The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Graceland Channels Ltd, the developers, Pastor Nat Omoruyi said the market is open to people from everywhere in the country and beyond.

Omoruyi said the site was being cleared and that some pillars have been erected at the market.

The Imo State Government in its rescue mission initiative and vanguard for a One Mega City State, has engage Graceland Channels Limited to Design and Develop a Commercial City in Mgbidi to serve as the commercial nerve point of the state. Mgbidi is strategically located, being the Gateway into Imo State (The Eastern Heartland of the Nation). It is barely 30 minutes drive from Onitsha and about 10 minutes drive to Owerri. It has a large expanse of land (covering 28.097 hectares), which the past governments of the state, with foresight, had acquired to build an International market to serve the sub region and beyond.

As first Phase for the Development of Mgbidi, Graceland Channels Limited is undertaking the Deg, Building, Developing and Management of an ultra modern market complex on the earmarked piece of land to be known as “Heartland Gateway International Market", Mgbidi –Imo State, Nigeria.

The proposed Heartland Gateway International Market is envisaged as a multi-purpose commercial and business service centre which will serve as a key business destination for Imo State in particular, Nigeria as a nation and the whole of West Africa.

It will provide an enabling environment for economic growth, job creation, tourism and recreation and thereby impact positively on the state and the entire country.

He said, “The complex is designed with space in mind and to be built at optimized cost without compromise to quality, aesthetics, safety and an eco-friendly environment.”

The Computer Village Business people urged the Imo State Government to assist them in creating other infrastructure like pipe borne water, electricity, internal road development within the Market City, building of Hospital and other municipal services that would aid the magnitude of the Market City. This would assist them to do their business effectively.

The Computer Village Business Group on their own have invited banks to partner with them by providing mortgages from their teaming population under special funding arrangement so as to finance their initial 2500 lock up shops.

The group was delighted that other trading groups and associations were consulted to be part of the development and also to do business in the Market City.

According to Chief M.I. Okoro, the market was being built with input from prospective owners, as against the situation where shops would have been fully developed and commissioned before inviting business people to come and purchase. “Trading groups are called from inception to contribute their inputs, since they are the final s of the shops being developed.

“This approach yields better results because by inviting the Business group to participate from the start gives them a better sense of belonging and respect to their existence. That is why the Market city must succeed.

“The Government of Imo State and the Igbo Nation have commended the effort and vision of the Computer Village people for the example they have shown by partnering with Imo State government to develop Igbo land.

“The Igbo Nation, both Home and Abroad hereby call on the rest of Igbo business groups all over Nigeria and abroad to begin to come home and develop their business in Igbo land just like the people of Israel left Egypt for the promise land noting that there can never be any place like home.

“The Igbo nation sees any development deliberately sited in Igbo land as Akuluo Uno which is better than billions outside Igbo land and appealed to all Igbo trading groups like ASPAMDA, Alaba International market people, Ladipo market people, Berger Auto Dealers, business men and women and all other Igbo business men and women outside Igbo land to efforts with the computer village business people to make the Heartland Gateway International Market a success within one year from its inception.”

These economic activities will take place at a new development, which is the Heartland Gateway International Market, Mgbidi, Imo state.

The development is made possible through a public-private partnership between Imo state government and Graceland Channels Ltd.

The concept of locating the Heartland Gateway International Market at Mgbidi, is a product of visionary leadership of the Governor of Imo state, Anayo Rochas Okorocha.

His idea is to locate the International Market at a border town central to Anambra, Delta, Enugu, Rivers and Imo state of Nigeria for the convenience of movement of people, goods and other materials in one hand and “Think-Home Investment Concept.”
Okoro said, “This development is the first of its kind in the South East of Nigeria, which is aimed at re-energizing the economic activities of Eastern Nigeria and is expected to create countless jobs, employment and other creative entrepreneurial activities.
“These economic activities are capable of reducing high rate of youths restiveness and crime that have been traced to unemployment as well as releasing the potential values of any available piece of land in the immediate environment and neighbouring states.

“On the other hand, the International Market is focused at attracting investments to the Eastern part of Nigeria where Igbo people who have been busy developing other parts of Nigeria can come home and do business with the rest of Nigerians and other international communities in Igbo land.”

On completion, the International Market will be the biggest, most modern type of market in Nigeria and Africa.
This International Market is expected to play host to over two million people doing business in the market city.
This teaming population coming from all parts of Nigeria and the world would demand for land for various developmental projects like- housing estates, Warehousing complexes, Hotels, Industrial and allied activities, schools and colleges and any other activities that may require the use of land.

The increase in the demand for land purchase is expected to increase the value of land in the area.

He said Governor Anayo Rochas Okorocha earmarked about 200hectres of land to Graceland Channels Ltd for the development of over three thousand housing units for both residential and commercial occupations in Mgbidi and immediate environment.
The land supply will help accommodate the expected teaming population as a preliminary measure to tackle the demand for housing, and also to complement the Heartland Gateway International Market.

In a bid to open up the Eastern region of Nigeria for effective economic emancipation and to position it to compete with the world economically, Okorocha launched the development of an Industrial Park with some foreign partnership.
The foreign partnership with the Imo State Government is expected to cost over five billion US Dollars and is already sited at Egbema, Imo state.

The Industrial Park shares immediate neighbourhood with the Heartland Gateway International Market and Rivers State of Nigeria.

“This will aid the ease of movement of goods via the Imo, Port Harcourt and Asaba Airports plus the Governor’s intention to also open up water ways for the transportation of goods and materials via the Port Harcourt Seaport.

“The choice of Graceland Channels Ltd for the development of the market City at Mgbidi is an evidence of Imo State government’s pursuit for excellence, because this construction firm has developed a lot of Estates in the past that competes with International standard.”

I've done Oguta much earlier on this thread and I've equally made known what I believe will work. Ohaji/Egbema I have is only Umuagwo Poly and Ada palm in the archive. I have no business there.

@Abagworo,
Prototype of the Orlu stadium, do you have it?
If you do, can you please post it? I have searched for it but can't find it.
You sabi wakka, go-getter, no be small. E no dey easy.

I shall post more pix of Oguta soon. It's a beautiful town, well planned, with well-laid streets, lots of them parallel.

Useless dirty pig. The state is worthless like a tissue paper. Now hang yourself for hearing the blunt truth from me.

Very nice! Where is this?

Evan Enwerem Avenue in New Owerri. Close to Port Harcourt Road. Its called Transtell Suites and apartments.

I LEARNT CHARLY BOY ORGANISED A CARNIVAL IN OGUTA LAST CHRISTMAS. WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE PICTURES IF YOU HAVE ANY. OGUTA RESORT AND GULF COURSE WILL DO VERY WELL IF IT IS HANDED OVER TO A SERIOUS INVESTOR.

Those people are part of the problem. Okorocha came in with full force to bring development to Oguta LGA but some people who are used to sharing of money in the past ganged up with PDP led FG to insult Okorocha and frustrate his development plans. Things are gradually getting back to order. Oguta is having a representative for the 1st time in the person of Henry Ezediaro a young man.

So I believe a lot of difference will be made between now and 2019.

Most of the roads in Oguta were done by NDDC or so i presume.

Not just NDDC but the roads have always been good and Okorocha deserves no credit for that except say maintenance.

To me Okorocha's biggest and most ambitious projects are the 27 hospitals. They look amazing and impossible for a place like Nigeria. I was surprised that virtually all have attained this level. Can he equip all in the next few years? I pray for him to succeed. It will be a miracle of sorts.

I said so because i noticed a trend in Oguta and Ohaji/Egbema. Apart from the good roads, most major and inner roads are lined with solar powered street lights.

Though Okorocha paved some, most of the roads were done by oil companies and NDDC.

Chino onyeara, can you see real Imo village? Stop deceiving people here. I was in Imo state on 30th and 31st and can tell you that Imo is beautiful and progressive. Imo has many towns more than your state and they are all receiving govt attention. Before Ihiala, Uli, and Amorka use be bigger and more bubbling than Mgbidi but today Mgbidi is bigger than all of them put together and it's bubbling.

Oga, kai can you see how Owerri and Orlu are today?

Worthless frustrated mad pig why are you calling me on this thread? Do you want me to help you derail it?

You can now see that you are the real enemy of this thread! Why are you so frustrated and restless in life? OGB, you need a job to set yourself free from your poverty frustrated life..hopeless se.x starved pig. LOL

I careless about this state and its people because all I see here is poo, there is nothing to write about here. It is a tissue-paper-bankrupt state generally.

You should be more concerned in your Abia state where we have installed a new governor to rule you guys..

Stop calling me out because if I dare come back here, I will effectively help you to send this thread to the Lagoon.

You have been warned!

lol, rescue your useless state 1st before you talk of another man's state. I think by now you should believe that nothing works in your state. Peter Obi killed that worthless state thank God for Obiano who's trying to revive somethings.

That state will soon collapse, wait let all these old names like Emeka Ofor, Ifeanyi Uba, Innoson, Cosmos Maduka, Obi Jackson, Vincent fade off Anambra will be as good as nothing cos your youths are not doing well rather they are living on the glory of all these old men.
