Moronic dimwits such as you are the bane of Internet. The fact that Kama Chikwe was appointed minister by Obasanjo’s regime does not translate into what you spewed. Chikwe’s appointment as minister did not come as a result of her crossing ways with Obasanjo.

I guess most Nigerians are dumbazz losers. If Imo State is the source of prostitutes, one wonders why the girls from the State attract exorbitant pride price. Most haters are bloody fools.

A quick question to some ignorant people here though...
If Imo is known for prostiitution as they claim, then how come Anambra still ranks far above it in the recently release HIV prevalence table?

Here's the November 2012 article from Vanguard and the newly released figures:
http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/11/world-aids-day-nigeria-records-decline-in-new-hiv-infections/

according to the article, Benue is number 1, while Akwa Ibom is number 2, Bayelsa is number 3, and finally Anambra is number 4 grin

I understand this deals a fatal blow to your flawed stereotypes, but I hope you find the fortitude to take it up the chin like grown-ups grin

My Imo state, is the pride of the eastern heartland. there is no state without flaws, the issue there is, when compared with its strengths does it come out positive? in this case, i say yes it surely does. All the eastern states are good, we are brothers, but there is this thing that makes imo special, maybe that is partly the reason why their dowry is very expensive than that of other states. one of it is that we strive to be self reliant. am sure you would have noticed it among folks living around you that are from the state, we love education,entertainment and more over, we are peace loving people

Mad Cow: Imo State is best known for:

1. 419 - Imo State is the fraud capital of the East.

2. Hotels & loose women - The name Ada Owerri is no joke. The loose women are not necessarily Imo State indigenes o! And every street in Imo State has at least 3 (no star) hotels.

3. Relaxing and Chilling - Since government is the highest employer of labour, there is really no serious work going on in Imo State so they lose early from work and party like there ain't no tomorrow.. The only other state that parties harder than Imo State is CrossRiver State.

4. Kidnapping... Imo State is presently the Kidnapping capital of Nigeria.

5. Education - which is nothing to write home about. The only decent higher institution in Imo State is federally owned.

6. Nollywood - IMO state folks litter nollywood, since there is no other economic source of income in the state, I guess acting is the next best thing..

To be continued......

You are really a mad cow, btw: which state are you from.

Imo state has the highest literacy rate in Nigeria, even old women in the villages can read and write. Mbaise axis has the highest number of graduates/undergraduates per capita in Nigeria. Imo produces the highest number of nollywood actors eg Genevieve Nnaji, Eucharia Anunobi, Rita Dominic, Kanayo O Kanayo, Victor Osuagwu etc. In sports Imo produced Nigeria's first olympic gold medlist in Chioma Ajunwa, more than half of female team players in Nigeria originate from Imo state. Imo is the richest state in the SE. Its capital Owerri is the centre of tourism in Nigeria. Business men and industrialists like orange drugs owner, ABC transport, Zinox computers etc are from the state.... In summary, Imo is a great state in Nigeria!
