investnow2013:
How much will it cost to fill up that bad portion of this road?. How much is 30 bags of cement & 3 tipper load of both chippings/sand?. Our Polithiefians are not serious!.Are they?.

Abagworo:


I wasn't impressed with the quality of that major road when I visited Okigwe last year. Okorocha needs to do something about Owerri road as it houses major businesses in the town. It needs total reconstruction. What I saw in Orlu was 100x better. Orlu is now more developed than Okigwe by a wide margin.The town has a red soil type and hence quite unpleasant but still beautiful.

In theory this is nice, in reality it's not. My entire village has to disburse to just have work and see each other every december. While many have come to see this are normal, it's very very pathetic and needs to stop.

Why would you root for a situation where Abia and Anambra now become several hundreds of times richer than Imo, so that Imo people can go there looking for work? You don't understand development.


In sane countries, everything is linked to local industry and local agriculture. So that when tourism booms, industry booms, when entertainment booms, industry booms, etc. This idiotic development Nigeria is into where 1 thing will boom and all the materials needed to support and create that industry are imported ensures that the boom benefits only the person that owns the business and not the state as a whole.

No real Imo man will opt for a position of economic subservience to Abia or Anambra, and your willingness to suggest it makes me wonder if you are from either realm. More importantly, if you're not and you yourself don't have to go to Abia and Anambra to find work or don't want to work in a hotel, you're a hypocrite.

Curlieweed:


Abagworo isn't Igbo, he's Ikwerre. I don't understand how any bonafide Imolite would think that the best our state can do is concentrate on tourism and ignore industrialization.

adeitoro:


is Ikwerre not Igbo?

I doubt if you are Igbo because if you are, you wont have make such ascertion.

Curlieweed:


Are you Ikwerre? Ikwerre say they're not Igbo and I will take their word over yours. And regarding your question, I am very Igbo.

adeitoro:


so you do believe all this trash on Ikwerre, awka, orlu, asaba etc are not Igbos? posted regularly on social media, smh.

If they are not Igbos, who then are?

Chai yoruba propagandas are really accomplishing their mission.

Curlieweed:


I don't give a flying fckk about any Yoruba propagandist or whatever. I'm very informed and have had some interactions with Ikwerre. The majority say they're not Igbo. Actually, they don't qualify as such. I don't want to disparage anyone so I'll just stop at that . Why do you want them to be Igbo?

adeitoro:


being Igbo is not voluntarily, nobody decides who is or who is not Igbo.
It is a natural that people are grouped under a particular race based on various distinct trait and characteristics.
Okey lets rephrase your question; why do you want Nigerians to ne black?

You are very intelligent my dear. However, you have to know that Imo people are big economic players in both Aba n Onitsha. This is however not enough reason for the non industrialization of the state. The attitude of the people is a big factor here. Do they patronize local businesses or do they flock to other places to buy just for a difference of one naira or even no difference at all? Do Imo people invest in their state?

I have seen Imo people who are doing nothing meaningful in Onitsha where I live. Why can't they go to their villages and become small scale farmers or businessmen.

For the state to develop,we need to patronize local businesses. Imagine some one deciding to buy a bag of rice at Onitsha( a consumer) just because of 100 naira difference not minding the cost of transportation. So these micro things affect the macro level.

Abagworo:


Igboland is for all Igbos and so is Nigeria for all Nigerians. No part can be jack of all trade as we complement each others defect. We in Rivers State travel to Aba to buy most of our stuffs and it is same with Imo, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom and Cross River. We all buy from Aba. However nobody travels from Imo to Aba or Port Harcourt for fun. Instead we from Rivers and Abia travel to Owerri for relaxation and fun. If not the road Jonathan destroyed, the rate of movement from Rivers to Owerri every weekend is high. Owerri is the capital of tourism and hospitality in the East just like Aba and Onitsha are for trade and Port Harcourt for big oil business.

Pchidexy:


A state or country existing on a mono economy is an impending disaster. Imo state can not afford to be a state for fun only. Variety is the spice of life. Hotels are good. However, we need other industries. The government should make the environment condusive and stimulate industrialization. We don't need trips to Turkey to actualize it. We just need to look inside.

Once again, Okorocha should discontinue the nonsense free education. Education is never free. Imo state is not buoyant enough. Governance is not showbiz.

Which State made their environment for industries? Imo is trying to and Governor is even buying back sold moribund State owned industries all in a bid to industrialise the State but the truth remains that it is individuals that should run businesses and not Government. I am in support of individuals going against all odds to invest at home and employ people but you must bare in mind that we are all Igbos and can invest in what we deem fit to yield good profit. Tony Ezenna built his factory at Onitsha while Vincent Obianodo built his Hotel in Owerri. Why didn't Obianodo put his hotel at Awka while Ezenna site his factory in Owerri? The reason is because they both view Igboland as home while they site their investments where they found more convenient.

Tony Ezenna did not do well. He already have warehouses in different places. Why didn't he build any of his factories in his state of origin. Simply, he is not patriotic enough. The position of Imo state between major industrial cities makes it a good place for siting industries of all kind.

Stella Okoli of Emzor cited one of the biggest plant of the company in Awka.(why not Onitsha). She is from Nnewi married to Arondizuogu.

Cutix cable cited his cable company at Nnewi. Nnewi is not a cable market. So Abagworo, it takes patriotism and faith to invest in your homeland.

Coming to the government, a good government boost the morals of investors. Government do run businesses too even in developed countries. We can't neglect the role of infrastructure in developing a state.

chinology:
Stop mentioning any part of Anambra on this thread, Anambra is not the reason Imo state is bankrupt and backward. Tell me why people rather build brothels in Owerri than building industries that will employ your graduates? It is because of abundance of cheap commercial se.x hawkers in owerri. Stop being silly because even your own people don't fancy investing in imo state. Obianodo is not the owner of that brothel in owerri, stop being stupid. All his investments are either in Lagos, Anambra, Abuja and Rivers states. Stop making it look like any serious investor is in imo state.
