Good
Academics, Good Looks, Intelligence, Athletics, Acting/Production,Cleanliness, Best night life in SE, Achievers, Hard workers, Hotel Tourism, Religious, Relaxed environment, Bongo Music, Independent Minded Women, Successful women, Good Wives

Bad
Prostitution, Kidnapping, High Bride Prices, High Cost of Land/Living, Clannish Mentality, Low Regard for Tradition

my unbiased assessment. I still believe Imolites are the most consistently intelligent people in Nigeria. Even the stupid ones are highly talented lol.

Tusky44: Imo state is known for education. It stands behind Anambra in producing world renowned brains but far behind when it comes to business and entrepreneurship. Anambra is the father and mother of all Igbo land.

Oga Andre is looking at Imo from an old wider view. Imo has been divided and Anyim's part is now Ebonyi State .

I guess Andy was in the SPORTS grove when he wrote Pius Anyim instead of Dan Anyim the former national team skipper.
