Some people are born critics.They can never see anything good even if Jesus happens 2 be imo state governor. These set of people are myopic and have nothing to offer to humanity.The best is to observe them from their contributions and then ignore them as engaging them in discusion is belittling oneself.However Enugu, Owerri,Umuahia remains the classic towns in igboland.Aba, Onitsha,Nnewi,and Orlu the economic hurbs, Abakaliki,Awka,Asaba,Okigwe,etc are joining the league,so Igboland got it. 1 Like |

Agukagu: Qualitative Projects? This pit was dug by Okorocha govt for drainage system near St Joseph's Catholic Church at the centre of Orlu, instead of channeling floods to the valley as proposed by former governor of Imo state. Orlu Community raises alarm over Erosion Menace – As building gets submerged Posted by The Leader News Online on Sunday, September 28, 2014. House condemned by Erosion in Orlu, Imo State The people of Uzoubi Umuna Autonomous Community, Orlu Local Government Area, have cried out against the level of flood being experienced in the Community which has affected their farmland and ravaged people’s properties and homes in recent time. It would be recalled that flood invaded a house located along Amaigbo Road Umuna following a heavy down pour that lasted for several hours at night, which caused the submerging of one of the buildings in the area. When THE LEADER visited the scene of the incident, some members of the affected family were seen carrying out their properties from the house including, foams, chairs, tables, books and other important items. A member of the family, who chose to remain anonymous, disclosed that the rain started at about 8pm the previous night and lasted for several hours after they had already gone to bed. She disclosed that they have not witnessed such flood before despite the fact that the road is close to their house. She stressed that the major cause of the problem was that a pit very close to the church, where all the flood enters, was filled up. Consequently all the flood from Eziachi, Orlu and other neighboring towns moved to the same location which is directly to that pit, so there is no other place the flood can enter if not to a sloppy area. She stated that another cause is that gutters which were supposed to be at the two sides of the road, considering the level of flood that passes through the road was existed only on one side while the other side was left without a gutter, which made the flood to easily have access to their house. She disclosed that the flood affected some of their properties as well as pulled down their fence causing the submerging of the building in front of their house. http://theleaderassumpta.com/2014/09/28/orlu-community-raises-alarm-over-erosion-menace-as-building-gets-submerged/ 3 Likes

Millionaire fool stop recycling same thing everytime to spoil our State thread. Umuna is flooded and hss been so before we were all born. The Government is trying to help and the topic has been overflogged. PDP people are recycling old news whose original source is from 2005. Maybe I should also repost the old response I gave. This is one of the dividents of Jonathans government failure to address the plight of Igbos. |

Chidi Nkwopara FOR the people of Uzoubi, Umuna, Orlu Local Government Area of Imo State what began as a small season challenge has today snowballed into a huge disaster. Trouble began in 1984, when Umusasa, one of the five villages in Umuna experienced its first flooding. In 1986, the flood spilled over, destroying farmlands and crops, buildings collapsed, domestic animals drowned and household furniture were destroyed. Today, Umuna has become a pilgrimage centre of sorts where people go to reflect on the disastrous work of nature. To some scholars, the community has become an excursion site where they see and record their findings for the advancement of knowledge. To yet another group of visitors, the flood site is a tourist attraction, a seven-day wonder and people are simply amazed at how residential and commercial buildings were taken over by flood and their occupants summarily sacked. Uzoubi, Umuna, is best described as a community in the valley but presently houses some of the major landmarks associated with Orlu local council area. Apart from being thickly populated, this troubled community boasts of the magnificent and soul- uplifting Saint Joseph’s Catholic Church, the Orie Ugwu and Orlu International Markets, as well as Evan Enwerem University Teaching Hospital. On June 27, 2005, the traditional ruler of the community, Eze Boniface C. Okereke, the President General, Chief Chris Uzoagba and Secretary General, Chief Bob Onyeje, sent a letter to one of their own and the immediate past governor of the state, Chief Achike Udenwa, titled: “Flood water claims human life in Uzoubi-Umuna”. This was their complaint: “The yearly event in Uzoubi-Umuna for the past 18 years has registered its arrival this year with a claim of the life of a child of about 12 months. This time, a son of Mr. Raymond Duruiheoma, a native of Atta in Njaba Local Government Area, residing at 2, Duruaku Street, Uzoubi-Umuna. This incident happened 12th June, 2005. Properties lost by the residents of the said building are estimated in millions of Naira”. They also told Udenwa in the said letter that barely two weeks after another 18-hour torrential rain hit the community, adding that the additional water over ran the entire community. They mentioned the worst hit areas as the royal father’s palace, Duruaku Street, Umusasa Road, Egbunine Street, Nwangaji Street, Umudiato Road, Ebenator Road, Amaigbo Road, Central School 1 premises, Saint Joseph’s Catholic Church premises and Umuorji Street. Explaining how the 12-month old boy died in the flood, the royal father said: “On this fateful day, the flood was beyond the control of the dwarf walls, as it pulled down the perimeter wall and covered all the rooms downstairs at 1 Eze Okereke Road”. An enraged traditional ruler told Vanguard Metro that “Chief Udenwa did nothing to ameliorate the plight of his brothers in Uzoubi-Umuna until he left office”. He recalled with grief how perimeter fencing of several buildings was pulled down by the angry flood. “About 10,000 residential and commercial buildings are submerged yearly in flood and properties conservatively estimated at billions of Naira have been lost to the flood. Sheep, goats, rams, dogs, chickens and other domestic birds were drowned”, the royal father lamented. He recalled that the attempt by the past administration to give access roads to Orlu International Market and the Teaching Hospital without defined flood discharge points has rendered many living at the East-end of the International market homeless. The same poor planning affected the construction work at Amaigbo Road, hence the over flooding of the Catholic Church premises and the buildings around it. Another pathetic aspect of the flood disaster is that of the primary school built in 1919 by the Catholic Church which is on the verge of being closed down. If this happens, what is the fate of the children of school age in this area is the question begging for answer. Eze Okereke disclosed that early 2005, FERMA attempted to rehabilitate the Amaigbo Road but the angry flood sacked them and the job has remained unattended to till date, despite the ray of hope ignited in 2009 by the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP). According to a BPP document, BPP/S.1/Vol.VII/09/059, dated May 21, 2009 and captioned “Certificate of no objection for award of contract”, the BPP stated: “Having examined your request and all the documents forwarded confirms that the project has satisfied all due process requirements for issuance of no objection for the award of the contract”. While giving the project name as “construction of Umuna Erosion Control Works at Orlu Local Government Area of Imo State”, BPP gave the name of the project contractor and cost as Messrs C.L.S. Limited and N119,632,175.30 respectively. The BPP document which was signed by the Director General, Engr. Emeka M. Ezeh and Engr. Nebolisa O. Emodi, disclosed that the source of funding is the N120 million under the Ecological Fund as approved by Mr. President, while the implementing Ministry/Agency is the National Committee on Ecological Problems (NCEP)/Anambra-Imo River Basin Development Authority. The question now is: When will this project, which was approved in May 21, 2009, take off? Until the project commences and is completed, the villagers remain refugees in their land http://www.vanguardngr.com/2010/10/in-orlu-flood-sends-5000-packing/ |

Agukagu: Projects? A quality sports stadium built in Orlu was destroyed by Okorocha govt. It started another one. But for nearly three years, work on the new stadium has remained as in these pix below. - no new stadium, no old stadium in Orlu. As political campaigners exhibit resplendent piksures of completed projects in Owerri for early campaign, count also on use of these too many uncompleted projects in Orlu during the campaign proper. 4 Likes

abagoro: More than 30 piksures of dualized Amaigbo Road to Ihialla road, Ilobi and Owus Avenues taken at different locations, and perhaps market stall. Look, you saw it: due to the many scrapped and uncompleted roads in Orlu area alone, most areas in Orlu have remained disjointed in the last three years. Does the govt even count the economic loss? I am not talking about Orlu-Owerri or Orlu-Akokwa Roads. This your false contract from federal authorities regarding urban drainage in Orlu, you present it any time talk about saving people from rain floods in Orlu, does federal govt build urban drainage systems for states? Make I ask you --- are you and present Imo state govt still not tired of using that as an alibi -a pretense - to avoid completing the standard urban drainage system for Orlu, a project done half-way by former Imo governor, Amadi Ikwechegh? Present that your false federal contract only to fools. Truth is that Federal govt does not build urban drainage system for state governments. The feds can come to control large gully erosion problems in the states. Federal govt did not build Owerri urban drainage system. 2 Likes |

abagoro: Brilliant abagoro Sir, what has President Jonathan or federal govt of Nigeria got to do with building a gutter less than 1km long in any state to channel a town's flood water to a nearby valley - as needed to be done in Imo state's Orlu? You can suffer only fools - gladly. 2015 elections are around the corner, liars like you shall lose their jobs - unless steps are taken to address salient issues in Imo state that can make you retain your PA job. 3 Likes |

millionaireman: Show us any single road constructed without drainage in Orlu. All the roads have wide and deep drainage. What you wrote about is a flood zone that Yar'adua approved its control through ecological funds but has been abandoned by Jonathan admin. The issue is clear. |

abagoro: In bold > you can build all roads in Orlu with accompanying gutters, but so long as you do not channel the floods to a lower depression like the Ogidi valley, all the roads with their gutters shall soon be flooded and washed away. Ex-Gov. Ikwechegh started to dig the channeling gutter before Owerri abruptly stopped the job as soon as Ikwechegh left. @ abagoro or Abagworo: repeat after me: IT IS NO JOB OF THE FEDERAL GOVT TO BUILD DRAINAGE SYSTEMS IN ANY CITY IN ANY STATE. Your fake federal contract aimed to build urban drainage or control flood zone in Orlu, which you use as an alibi to let IMSG continue to punish people in Orlu as rain floods ravage the area - please stop advising govt and people of Imo state based on fake information. 2 Likes |

Mumbo jumbo, or mumbo-jumbo, is an English phrase or expression that denotes a confusing or meaningless subject. It is often used as humorous expression of criticism of middle-management and civil service non-speak, and of belief in practices based on superstition, rituals intending to cause confusion or languages that the speaker does not understand. Origins and usage The phrase probably originated from the Mandingo name Maamajomboo, a masked dancer that took part in religious ceremonies. Mungo Park's travel journal, Travels in the Interior of Africa (1795) describes 'Mumbo Jumbo' as a character, complete with "masquerade habit", that Mandinka males would dress up in order to resolve domestic disputes.[1] In the 18th century mumbo jumbo referred to a West African god. According to the Concise Oxford English Dictionary: |

charlesdonaldson et al, it is absurd for a governor to build that large pit in Orlu centre, or in any town centre, to collect rain floods, call a spade by its name. Catholic churches from Orlu to Owerri have been pleading with IMSG that the flood be rightly channeled to the valley, instead of to that dangerous hole dug by IMSG near the church. The hole worsened the flood problem in the area. Abagworo of NL, like Gov. Okorocha govt insist on playing diversionary politcs, they wronly shift responsibility of building urban drainage system in a state to the federal govt. Since that hole was dug and the flooding problem worsened in Orlu, even the Owerri Catholic journal, The Leader, has featured many articles and photos of the flood problems. Remember Gov. Ohakim and the Catholic church in 2011? 1 Like |
