I like how you like posting this spibat road as if that's the only road in owerri. Infact, that road is beginning to give way, so you may as well give us an updated picture of the road. The road is beginning to give way because everywhere has been overtaken by heaps of refuse and entire drainages filled up at certain points. This is a recent picture of same road.

How has he started well? He's almost six months into the saddle and things are still as terrible as Rochas left them as you alluded. Should dat not ring an alarm Okorocha did not leave anything terrible. Federal roads are bad across Nigeria and the ones in Imo are nowhere near the worst but what Ihedioha has failed to do is to maintain the Okorocha rate of development which saw Imo developing very fast in real estate, high influx of new residents, boom in hospitality business and general boom in the fashion, communications and construction industry. Within Okorocha's 8 years built up areas in Owerri multiplied by 3 and other parts of the State weren't left out. The new hospitals, Cargo Airport, high court, prisons and Police headquarters commissioned by Osinbajo in May have all been overgrown with weed and vandalized within this past 5 months. Assuming Imo had a good Governor the departments would have occupied those magnificent establishments while the old ones are demolished for free land in the heart of the city.

Okorocha started work from 2011 and most of these roads have lasted till this year so there's no case of inferior anything. Everything that spoilt during his tenure including natural disaster were made headline here on Nairaland so I doubt any negative news of Okorocha is hidden.
Based on personal experience Imo is not as bad as other States presently and the issue of road is a national emergency. Right here in Port-Harcourt the East-West road has been cut off at Nkpolu for close to 8 months and also cut off at Adamark further down heading to Eleme junction. You cannot travel from Port-Harcourt to Obigbo which is just a 5km distance because of the poor State of Aba road etc. I also know it's same across Nigeria and not limited to Imo State, Anambra, Abia, Ogun, Rivers, Enugu or Kogi. your first paragraph is just pure self deceit and lies 2 Likes 1 Share |

Everyone already know few kobos from the gutters n you are already drooling but you come on NL acting a saint. I have no idea to at this stage pf exposure, it is just crazy. Champele: My guess is this; Tonye went to Imo with his PeopleDestroyPeople cartel for burial of a member. After the burial, Emeka invite them for dinner. After the dinner, Emeka did what is normal for them 'share the money' policy. After the policy, his boys secured a good room in one of the numerous 3star hotels attracted by Rochas infrastructure regime for Tonye, With some IMSU runs girl's to service him. The next morning, Tonye felt like he just went to heaven and come back. Now, like lion approaching a goat, with his phone he need to do the needful. Your guess is as good as mine. We know how they run their game. Next time Tonye, show some pictures. You can go into some dirty street and pretend it is world Bank or Douglas road. Olodo!

So you want foolish Ihedioha that was rubbisshing Okorocha to enjoy what Okorocha built so that you can keep heaping praise ok Ihedioha ? It does not work like that Ihedioha should build his road that will last till Jesus come foryou to start enjoying immediately since Okorocha was a failure. Sunnick:

Imo1stson:
Unfortunately Owerri-Okigwe is a federal road and Enugu-Onitsha isn't better than it. Rochas did well as Governor but PDP relied on early destruction to rubbish his image which has already backfired here in Imo State. Everyone wants Ihedioha out immediately and Imo restored to how it was as at May 29th. We know and have experienced the difference and as we write the level of filth in Owerri and basically every urban area in the State has reached a shameful height to an extent that even PDP members like Uche Ogbuagu have started turning against Governor Ihedioha.
A clear example is this Orji market. Anyone who visits there today like the poster won't know how it was when Okorocha handed over but at least these pictures speak volumes. We miss Rochas hooha! God have mercy on you. |

Imo1stson:
Stop writing thrash. Under Rochas Imo became the fastest developing State in Nigeria and the fastest growing IGR in the East so we had one if the best leaders in Nigeria. Ihedioha will definitely be removed if not by the court then mass action except he retraces his steps and starts fast rebuilding of everything he destroyed. Remember how his recovery chairman was almost burnt to death by angry youths. Imo isn't so bad presently as painted by the OP but we've lost the momentum of development experienced when Rochas was there. A visit to Imo State thread will prove the slowdown.
Rochas has really trained enough social media liars before leaving office. Same way he used graphics on NTA with his program It is true. Rochas is an Irredeemable disaster. |

By TonyeBarcanista
When Imo state Governor, Chief Emeka Ihedioha, was inaugurated in May 29 this year he told the people of the state that the damage done by his immediate predecessor and now senator Rochas Okorocha, was more than pathetic. I assumed that he was exaggerating the situation on ground considering that he was of different political platform with Okorocha and it is the norm of people of opposing political parties.
On Friday, October 18, I, along with delegation from PDP New Media Team, set out on a journey from Abuja to Owerri to honor the funeral of late Social Media personality, Stanley Nwabia in his hometown in Mbaitoli, Imo state.
In the course of the journey, I was welcomed to Kogi state by some terrible roads but I wasn't surprised, because I never expected to see something better than what I always see when plying that route. To me, Kogi has the worst road in Nigeria but... I was wrong!
Entering Imo state was pathetic. Every road and feeder roads in Imo state are eyesore and in complete ruin. Even the tunnel that I had blindly praised Rochas for after seeing it on TV and social media, was highly dilapidated and a death trap that every vehicle avoided except ours. The most shameful sight is World Bank Road- that road is complete ruins and not motorable. Meanwhile, the most disgraceful is the road leading to "Peoples House", this is because one ordinarily expect that such a road should be of world class but it wasn't. All the so-called road projects that Okorocha's propagandists parade on social media and newspapers are complete fraud. There is no single road in Imo state with good drainage system and no single road that is without potholes dragging space with vehicles.
Indeed, Imo state has the worst drainage system in Nigeria and no provision for waste disposal - No wonder Governor Ihedioha vowed to rid the state off dirt and waste that littered everywhere.
I have always held the opinion that Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi state has no business in government house but now I'll say that he is miles better than Rochas' eight years as Governor of Imo state. I am not a fan of President Muhammadu Buhari style of administration but it is better for one to entrust his business to Buhari than to Rochas Okorocha - He is that bad!
Some readers may think I'm sounding this way because I am a PDP member, but that narrative isn't correct. I have never ceased from singing the praises of Rotimi Amaechi for some of the works he did as Governor of Rivers state, my home state despite him being of APC.
Honestly, I pity Governor Emeka Ihedioha, he is a governor that inherited all-round problem from his predecessor, he has so much work to do. He's so unlucky to be elected Governor of Imo state at this time, he is in for real work, I honestly don't envy him! But that is what service is all about, he has no other business to do than to work and deliver- that is the reason he's a leader!
Most importantly, I pity Imo people for being subjected to eight years of Okorocha, I can't help but wonder how they were able to survive under his administration. I really sympathise with Ndi'Imo!
Fortunately, Governor Ihedioha has always maintained and shown by his actions that he is ready for the challenge. Indeed, he has started well and I pray God grants him the wisdom and strength to turn Imo state around for the good, the better and the best. Amen!
I appreciate, Hon Izuchukwu Akwarandu, SA New Media to Imo state Governor, and members of his team for their hospitality; Mr Kingsley Ohen, President of United Patriots of Nigeria and entire members of UPN for always checking on me; Barr Tony Ehilebo, Coordinator of PDP New Media Team and entire members of PDP New Media Team for brotherly cohesion, and entire members of Nairaland family.
May God Bless Us All and Bless Nigeria Inioribo Tamunotonye @TonyeBarcanista, PDP New Media Team and National Publicity Secretary, United Patriots of Nigeria
Just tell us you're now a member of the "Pdp new media" and we'll understand and not trying to rubbish one bastard for one idiot. They're d same and the blame game will continue. The bad road or bad anything else is everywhere in Nigeria. And as bad as they all are, you'll surely find somewhere good in the state. Everywhere can not be worst. I've been to that state too na and I stay for like a week and the area I visited in the state capital was okay. And that's how it is everywhere in naija. The ihedioha guy too cannot do all. He'll do small dis term and use it to campaign for his 2nd term. |

From Sango to Idi Iroko na dead traps roads.. But to be honest apart from blaming the past Ogun state governors, we must also blame the people there for continuing voting for people that always neglect them but remembers them during elections Bros from Ogun to Nassarawa to cross river down to imo state same thing, the roads are bad, Why can’t we as youth speak against of fūcking leaders, rather we praise them because they are from our region/tribe. Bros make we end all this men they don’t mean wel for the country at all. |
