You cannot eliminate street trading by offering arenas. Nigeria has an infinite supply of traders ready to sell on the road if you let them. Street traders after all are looking for location, location, location. The more traffic the better.

Unregulated trading destroys profits and destroys investment. The UK has high streets where in high traffic locations you find sophisticated shops and high rents. In Nigeria, show me a sophisticated shoe shop. You can't because it's sold in barrows. Show me a sophisticated grocery store. You can't because it's sold on primitive tables in markets.

Until Nigeria understands the concert of regulated competition there will be low scale businesses that don't grow beyond two or three man shops. Small scale equals low innovation, low investment.

We will not continue to live like animals just to accommodate street traders. A law banning street trading must be enacted and strictly adhered to. Everyone must not be a trader. Let them learn a skill. What fuckery

Most of these people clamoring for street creation which will include part of Anambra, who claim to be from Anambra are impostors. No sensible onye Anambra will agree to dividing of Anambra state.

why speaking like an IPOB-ESN member. Why so extreme? Have you sampled people's opinion? Cho cho cho cho. Which one is no sensible onye Anambra? States must be created from some where. Imagine if Ihiala hear that they will be Capital of Orlu state or whatever they want to call it for example, will they prefer to remain in Anambra or quickly join the new state? There are more even

Klinee:
Stop being stupid! If you don't know anything why can't you make a research.
There are many indigenous Anambra Igalas, comprises of more than eight towns.

Igala indigenous towns with Igbo names, right The so-called Igala migrated the town, they are not indigenous or abroginals to the communities and they're only 2% in population.

irisher:

I understand your point!
Owerri are the capital and their city is more economically viable than Orlu, so it will be difficult for them to invest in Orlu, everybody invest in economical viable city.
Some Owerri folks have more investment in Anambra and Lagos than Imo state.

In many states, there are cities that are more economically viable than the state capital. Viability depends on how fairly distributed are government development projects among the Senatorial districts.
Naming a place as state capital is no insurance for the place to be more economically viable than other cities in the same state.

That mentality of once a place is named state capital, it must automatically become more economically viable than other cities in the state, prevails in the minds of too many people from Owerri. That was behind how Owerri hiding under state capital mantra forced all institutions of government that induce modern develooment in a state to be located in Owerri.

The Picture of the man destroying all South East development on NairaLand. We all know him. He has so many monikers. He copies everyone's name and makes little changes such as replacing 'O' alphabet with 0 (zero) He enjoys abusing everyone including those making reasonable posts and advancing the progress of every South East state.

Orlu is not lacking behind in government development projects, the people of Orlu solely have to market the city and make it viable.
Orlu is the permanent site for various industries including state and federal agencies like the Imo State University Teaching Hospital, the state-owned cardboard industry, the newly built Imo State School of Nursing and Health Technology at Okporo as well as many small and medium-sized chemical and pharmaceutical companies. The multipurpose Imo International Market is also based in Orlu. Consequently, the Ogbosisi Timber Centre is located within the quickly expanding Orlu Urban area and the city centre. The Nigeria Immigration Training School (NITS) in Umuowa and the Technological Skills Acquisition Centre (TESAC) are also based in the city.
Again, viability doesn't depend only on being a state capital, Owerri as a capital is not economically sound than its core capital cities like Kano, Kaduna and Port-Harcourt.
Economic viability depends on the industrial nature of the people of that given region and the ability to adapt fairly to each individual who comes across them. You cannot make your economy viable if you do not relate to the people around you.

Except the Imo International Market in Orlu, all these miniature govt establishments you named in Orlu, the total population of people in them is not up to the population of people in one department of one of the six tertiary education institutions of government in Owerri. There is a huge fraud by Owerri in having all the government institutions that should induce human and economic development in all of Imo state but all located in Owerri area.

First of all, learn how to quote someone without insults otherwise, I will quote you no more.
The so called alleged Anambra Igala minor communities do not bear Igala names, secondly they don't have family lands in the various communities.
Thirdly, the traditional ruler of the various alleged Igala communities are all Igbos and bear Igbo names not Igala.
4• The Igala spoken in the various Anambra West communities is more Igbotic compared to that of Kogi state, and the Indigenous owners of the land referred these alleged Igala people as Ndi Olu.
A minority group do not claim indigenous or ownership to a community that doesn't bear their native name or practice their tradition. The alleged Igala people are intruders in the Anambra West communities they inhabited and most of them are now proudly Igbos. Not only Anambra West communities their are little fraction of alleged Igala intruders in Ifite Ogwari too.

Orlu is a new emerging city in Imo state, you can't compare it with Owerri in terms of development.
Have you forgotten that Owerri was the capital of the old Imo state which includes the Abia?
When this federal and state institutions were being built in Owerri, the so called Orlu was a typical bush, so Imo state government can't set up such institutions in that region.
There is no huge fraud by Owerri, after all, Orlu are the ruling class in the present Imo state.

Ediiotic baastard if that’s his real picture na that guy fit you because you are the main culprit trying to badmouth Anambra on every platform simply because Anambra is far better than your cursed backward useless worthless state.

What's wrong with you folks, is Bende people not among the people that developed Aba City?
I really don't know what's wrong with you people!!
Orlu discriminating Owerri,
Aba discriminating Bende, and Nsuka discriminating others...Ndi Igbo is not actually known for discrimination. It's high time you all learn from Ndi Anambra. Anambra motto was once "Home for all" before it became the "Light of the Nation". I had over heard past Gov. Peter Obi saying "ndi Anambra anaghi agba oke"(Ndi Anambra don't discriminate) we take Igala and others as our own brothers despite not being Indigenous to Anambra state.
We all emanate from one ancestor, and became Ndi Igbo by birth, naturalisation, marriage and adoption.
Ndi Igbo can't go for further division our concern is strictly Anioma state, any other Igbo agitating state within the South east region should retrace to find out what's their problem and solve it.

Thank you for telling off those mumus. All they want is to have a bite of Anambra. No one stops them from creating their states but they must not touch any part of Anambra. We are not interested in their useless state creation

chibabs:
Instead of seeking a way of how to encourage our Igbo brothers and sisters that were carved into the SS region to get the extra state that is to be added to the SE, you guys are busy partitioning yourselves into smaller bits because you lack the ability to use state resources to develop all zones simultaneously.

A leader from one zone will become so selfish that he would want to concentrate every development only within his domain. It is very clear that the problem with Igbos have, all this while, been self inflicted. If we discriminate against ourselves like this without this Biafra, tell me what will happen if we finally break out of Nigeria? Every single Hamlet would want to be a state because of senseless greed. Everybody will aspire to be president at the same time simply because one zone will want to corner everything at the detriment of the others forgetting that collective resources are for the development of the whole territory.

Somebody, the other day, was even hoping for Anambra to be partitioned and lumped into Orlu to form Orlu State while holding onto his dear Enugu State. He was questioning why Nsukka wants to form a state of their own but he has already carved out certain areas of Anambra that, in his opinion, will be better off joining Orlu to form the new state. Later these same group of people will start shouting that all the Igbos domiciled in the SS region are Igbos, isn't it? The all round development going on at the same time in Anambra keeps them awake at night so it would gladden their hearts to partition Anambra in order for the lagging state to catch up. Is this not wizardry? Little wonder why those Igbos in the SS detest been identified as Igbos because they feel one greedy zone will hijack their resources and form "King Kong" over them. Something must be fundamentally wrong with Ndi Igbo. Na wa for una o!

It does not matter where who governs Imo state is from. Because developnent does not come from a vacuum. More than

We rather enlarge our coast than divide selves into parts. You that is next to River State Igbos, why can't u influence them to be proud Igbos like Anambra did? How can u inspire/Influence a fly when you can not leave in harmony with your Owerri/Orlu brothers in the same state? Who wants to associate with infiriority complex??

Even Anioma ppl next door to Anambra are more proud Igbos than rivers Igbo next to you.

NB: The previous video and images I shared on the road is from Amawbia Awka axis of the road to Ekwulobia flyover.... Being handled by GELD Construction.

I like the fact that Soludo awarded this heavy project to two construction companies. It shows how serious he is in delivering and trust me, there is going to be healthy competition between the two companies which is a bonus to the project.

Anambra is arguably the fastest developing state... Emerging to one mega city state.

My friend shut up. There is a sense of pride associated with identifying with a larger group, hence, the lame attempt to lump everybody into the Anambra artificial grouping. It's because Anambra state lack larger grouping like others such as Orlu, Ngwa, Nsukka, mbaise etc controling multiple local governments. The largest is Nnewi with one LGA and the Nnewi people also discriminate. Remember the wisdom in ozubulu is the foolishness in Nnewi, a very discriminatory proverb. I don't want to talk about the stigma against mbamiri communities, yet these are the original Omambala people you all are claiming because of absence of larger grouping to identify with

Shut up your mouth this dirty nsukka ediot. Anambra is a monolithic state. Imagine an inferior nsukka man that’s smelling with stigma is talking about stigma . Irrespective of boundaries, Anambra people sees themselves as one people and that’s why the people take pride in the name Anambra’. You wawa people are divided between nsukka people to Awkunanaw to Ngwo, etc. there’s no division in Anambra. Anambra people prides themselves with Anambra and their respective towns. There’s hardly any town in Anambra that doesn’t have men that stands it out, that’s why Anambra is the greatest Igbo state . Stop trying to sow a seed of discord because it will never work . You ediots always hide behind your envy and bitterness towards Anambra but we know you people . Anambra shall continue to be a monolithic state and that’s why no part of the state is interested in leaving the union . Anambra is one people. Deal with it envious bitter ediot .

FYI,
1) there is no Igbo grouping known as Abambra, not to talk of non existent monolithic Abambra state.
2) Anambra is a coinage by northern military dictators who created states.
3) Anambra River known as Omambala flowing from Uzo-Uwani to Nkisi River and joining River Niger, does not pass through Abambra South senatorial district.
4) Much of today's Abambra South were originally in Orlu Division before the beginning of creation of states in Nigeria.
5) Even today, much of the Church Parishes in Anambra south are in Orlu Dioceses.
6) Even today, many people from Abambra South are members of Old Orlu Divisional Unions outside Igbo land, and in foreign countries.
7) Abambra State University in Uli, near Orlu, was established by former gov Mbadinuju from Uli, but when Mbadinuju left office, Abambra State House of Assembly moved to remove the university from Uli, because they knew that parts of Anambra south would in no distant time form a new state with Orlu senatorial zone. At last, the university was renamed Odumegwu Ojukwu University, and parts of the University taken to another location in Abambra North.

There is no Igbo grouping called Orlu state... And there is nothing like Orlu in the history and origin of Igbo. The Father of Igbo is Eri and Igbo ancestral home is Aguleri in Anambra. His house (Obu gard) Is till there till today. His 7 children are Aguleri, Igbariam, Nteje, Amanuke, Nsugbue and Nri... From there he enlarge his coast to Igboukwu, Anedo (Nnewi), Dunukofia. His first daughter "Iguedo" Begot Ogbunike (Okpala umu Iguedo), Umueri, Ika (Agburuika) in Onitsha, Awkuzu, Nteje Nando, all in Anambra.
Igbo staf of authority is in Nri (Nri ji offor Igbo) in Aniocha LGA of Anambra state.
I can go on and on with proof.
Have you seen why Anambra is more Igbo than Orlu.

In 1976 when Imo state was created, there's much differences in the level of urban development between Orlu and Owerri (Owerri was capital of old Imo state).
It matters where who governs Imo state is from, Orlu has already been given a chance to change the bad narrative of Imo state.
Unfortunately, Nigerian governments don't make a city viable, they only provide some basic amenities for us to strive on...I believe the present governor has provided the necessary actions needed to support Orlu city.
You can stand firmly to make your city great and viable regardless of the region that's more developed, you've to start that by loving yourselves.
Orlu state economy maybe worser than Imo state if the state is finally created.
Apart from Nnewi and Abuja, the most prosperous cities in Nigeria are the ones that were being planned by the British, this is a hard pill to swallow.
Don't trust these Nigerian politicians, they're so incompetent and greedy, avoid Orlu state like a plaque.
