i want someone from all those IGR noise making states to show me just one picture from their states that is as clear and brown roof free as this. even if it is their best GRA

Pls stop this goading and obsession with brown roofs. I’m impressed with this thread, it’s beautiful and has revealed a lot about Owerri as a city and the fast paced and amazing development ongoing.

Don’t ruin it by unnecessary comparison with other cities or inciting others. It’s not necessary.

Ahia oma na ere onwe ya.

Maadoo:
This picture is for none igbos especailly ignorant untravelled Afon, who assumes that igbos show pictures of only rich areas and not where the ordinary man lives.

Now, zoom and look through the picture below, what do you see? A forest right? Yes! That’s what it is. Those are the ordinary citizens. They buy land, build their taste, and before you know it, the whole place organically forms a collection of beautiful looking residential buildings. This is not a GRA, it’s just different individuals Who bought the land years back, probably when it was cheaper and now ready to build their homes.


Some of these areas don’t even have good roads,but trust that the neighborhood and buildings are dope. It is after a long time government remembers them, to build their road and drainage. In some places, the landlord contribute to build their roads...

This is why igbos are called DEVELOPERS. Changing the landscape of anywhere they find themselves, with real estate development.


If you come back here in 5yrs time to snap pictures, when most of this place would have been developed, you will think it’s an estate or Gra, naaaa! It isn’t. It’s just a hood.

Your topic is different from what you just wrote here. I've traveled quite around the country, I'd say something similar and even more to what you wrote if I'm asked to describe my experience about the east, but how do you guys feel turning every topic of discussion into tribal/religious fights? From bicycle ride to this?

Are you blind to the multiply threads they open on a daily basis to mock the East as being undeveloped and how Osun state generate more IGR than the combination of all the SE states, and how Anambra is poorer than Osun state, going by their fake NBS report, headed by an Afonja man?

Please spare me your sermon.

Owerri is well planned, all thanks to Sam Mbakwe. Not like my Awka, which doesn't have initial master plan, and people started building houses indiscriminately everywhere.

This is the problem with Onitsha and one of my the reasons that Onitsha residents relocate to Asaba, Okpanam etc.

Enugu should key into this. We need our urban/regional planners and estate management experts.
I still think that Polo Park shouldn’t have been tampered with. Shop rite should’ve been relocated elsewhere to promote development beyond Enugu city metropolis.
New artisan quarters is ruining the efforts of those who invested and own properties at Independence layout.

Ituku Ozalla need urgent attention, there should be a master plan and builders and developers should strictly abide by this. People have started building indiscriminately around the area. If this is not halted and corrected, we will have a problem in the nearest future.

Around Meniru Street, we have this problem. CC Onoh sold lots of plots of land there, Meniru/ One day..close to the hills. The activities there are embarrassing and this happened during the time of Chimaroke Nnamani and Sullivan Chime...both governments were oblivious of the development going on there. Ugwuanyi need to look into this before it turns into an epidemic.

You people should face your useless and dilapidated Owerri in peace and stop talking down on others. Is Asaba more populated than Onitsha? Or is Owerri or Asaba half as planned as Onitsha? Or how did Polo park Enugu concern this thread? You guys are the reason Imo threads don't fly without distractions.

Face your useless Imo state and stop courting trouble that you can't handle when it start. Maybe you guys are just deceiving yourselves with some selected pictures here because when the real Owerri pictures are posted here that's when you guys will learn to be humble and face your thread.

The last I checked Owerri is not different from Aba in filth and dilapidation roads.

ThatFairGuy:

I have to quote you when you make this Statement, if you can be listening to that nuisance, then it isn't a surprise you've been constituting nuisance with your uncouth utterances despite caution from your brethren. Also, I'm 200% Sure you've not moved out of the SE, that's why you feel elated showing those repeatitive pictures of the whole SE and think it's special. That NBS statistics pained you all to bone marrow which is why you've been calling out Yorubas since then till date. you will all be alright

How can NBS data pain someone.21100 out of more than 200 million people was use as a measurement when we all know that Nigeria is not u.s,u.k or top western countries where things are done accuratly.Or have u forgetten that Nigeria's MOTTO is corruption is our birthright.

Na lowlifes full nairaland, on both tribes

What's this one yapping? You guys would never mind your shithole Owerri. Do you really wanna see the real Owerri here? Owerri and Aba are related in bad roads and filth. Most of Owerri is dirty dilapidated unplanned disjointed and littered with shanties and slums. Don't come here to compare it to Awka that's decently advancing in development.

Abro, I'm not from Imo State, I'm from Anambra and I grew up in Awka. So I'm perfectly sure of what I'm talking about, I've lived in Awka my whole life, but it's no where comparable to Owerri in terms of master plan.

The town planners we have here are doing little or nothing in terms of improving Awka master plan. You need to see how Rochas transformed Orlu that used to be slum. We need someone that will replicate what Rochas did in Orlu in Awka

Inner roads in Awka are too tiny(not wide enough), Even the major roads aren't wide enough either. You see houses built close to drainage, some are almost touching high tension cables smh.

Awka needs total overhaul, serious one.

I am from Imo state and I lived and schooled in Owerri. Firstly Awka has by far a better and wider road networks than Owerri.

Owerri has some of the worst roads ever in SE maybe at the same level with Aba.

Most of the roads in Owerri are tiny dilapidated and always waterlogged.

There's little or no planning in Owerri because once it rains the roads are blocked. The drains are poorly planned too.

I am very certain what I am talking about. Owerri generally should be completely redeveloped if it cannot be totally demolished for proper planning and development.

What we actually need in Owerri is what Obiano did at inner streets of Awka, and building of flyovers to match. These are things we don't have in Owerri. Inner streets of Owerri are some of the worst I have seen anywhere in Nigeria.

Owerri needs total demolition for proper planning and development. In Owerri they built houses indiscriminately without planning, and onto the drainage thereby constitute more chaos and flooding in the town.

These are some of the Awka wide roads with well grassed dividers and flyovers that Owerri can never boast of even in the next 200yrs. You can never compare Awka to the shithole called Owerri.

Recommendation: Owerri is in shambles and should be demolished completely, then planned and rebuilt from the scratch.

Likecool, I will take you down the lane with pictures of real Owerri. That we kept quiet doesn't mean we are idiots. See the Owerri tunnel pictures they showed here, look at its current outlook.

Likecool, this is driving through new Owerri. New Owerri is the best part of the town, but I tell you this for free, this same new Owerri has 90% of its roads in a dilapidated state.

Na you people be idiots. So when some of you were courting trouble by talking unfounded rubbish you didn't see reason to caution them. I am only responding to some people's false claims

Likecool, these are some of inner streets of Owerri. And this is how at least 80% of the inner streets are. Major and minor streets of Owerri are waterlogged all year round due to bad road and no drainage

Likecool, this FLYOVER was shown here as part of Owerri but look at the current status. Would you have started spewing rubbish if you had seen all these. Mind you I am not here to expose Owerri but to prove to you gullible people that Owerri is a total mess. I don't wanna post Awka flyovers because it will further run down Owerri.

The murderer is on loose again.
He is so pained with development in O town....all he needs is any mention of O town.
Worst of it is that he never shows his identity.
Mentally unstable personality disorder of the brain

Likecool, presently there's okada plying all over Owerri due to bad roads. I inquired from one of them who bluntly asked me "ole kwa uzo motor na agba". Confirm the pictures

I took these pictures January 2020

Erosion exists in all Nations of the world, but celebrates the one in Otown.

Spiff20:
Owerri is beautiful no denying and Surprisingly they don't brag like Enugu people. Owerri beats Enugu in development and beauty by far, yet they won't let us drink water and cup because of independent layout and New Haven. Red earth everywhere making it look like farm road.

Afonja you fools are funny ,your attempt at dividing Igbos is wack!

Karex81:

Which afonja. Our people should learn how to mind their business. Why would someone talk down on others because of few propaganda pictures that were taken from many directions. We know the truth but kept quiet until I started seeing some rubbish talks

Lol you were happy when he made his false posts but you got angry because I responded to his lies. He better respond to my posts or apologies for posting unfounded rubbish.

The devil is crying again...he has been defeated once again with good news from our dear Imo state....All the Southeastern states are doing well...

It seems you just joined Nairaland

Reasonable people don't have conversation with that nonentity

He's MAD and needs help

Mind you, he has many accounts

But you will always recognize him with his deep hate and venom against the east

Murderer, kidnapper on the loose...blood sucking witch.....
It's not a new thing that some Nnewi billionaires are from Imo State.....
..and The Cubana investor group has their pilot project in Owerri.......

Cry some more....good news must kill the devil.

I am from Anambra state and a more confirm Igbo man than you. I have seen hustle past you boy.

Forget this my moniker... I have been on this forun since 2007.

Your antecedents has always been very very bad. Even if people are saying bad about our state, why not focus on the good part of it and show it to the world? Why not just ignore them?

You people are the reason some immature yoruba and hausa people insult us in this hopeless nation.

At my age, I have a house in the village and building one in Umuahia. Can you boast of such?

Thats why when Afonjas and Almajiris call us baby factory people, Fan yogo hawkers, gala sellers... The goal is not to reply them or get back to them.

The goal is to shame them with success. Let the morrons see that from Gala hawking, one can put up a decent bungalow in the East.

As old as you are, you should know that when younare fighting your brother, outsiders will be watching with delight and happiness.

Anambra state is not the only progressive state in the East. Anambra is not the leader of the East. Every Eastern state is equal.

I want you to take a day and go to Ikenegbu in Owerri. Go to world bank. Go to new Owerri... You will see what Anambra men are doing there.

Please be motivated and rise from this dust of always rubbing shoulders with port Harcourt, Imo, Abia etc.

It pays nobody!

Owerri wu oke mba.home of hospitality .

....or is it our fault that imo State has the highest number of professors (Both African and international Universities) in Africa? ....
.....highest number of Priests and Medical doctors?...
.....is it our fault that Anambra state has the highest number of Naira billionaires?
.....and Arondizuogu has the highest number of millionaires in a given local government area

.....we don't even know because we are busy trying our best to make our lives more beautiful....while statistics are counting the scores....

Good news must kill the devil.....

Am from Imo State and I love Anambra state....I can shoot a bullet to defend my Anambra business men.....The devil that has different monikers.....is crying again in the market place.

.....this devil in anambra camouflage has gone mad again......heheh heheh
