If I'm right @greenandy is @kikake , I want to ask a question. Why do you put so much importance in water supply, that you believe it's the reason Owerri is attracting lots of people.

I actually believe other things like electricity, jobs and good roads would attract people more

Good thing that the cargo terminal building has been completed. Bu it will simply stay their and gather dust unless 2 critical things;
(1.) Approval for Cargo flights and (2.) Runway elongation by 300 meters) happen.

It shocks me that APC governors in Imo state starting from Rochas could not get the FG to approve the landing of international cargo flights at Owerri! I thought when Rochas moulded Buhari, that it was for Buhari to come and announce the approval of international flights to Owerri!
So what is the Federal advantage the Imo has enjoyed for being in the ruling APC party for almost 10 years?

Then Imo state government could elongate the 2.7KM runway by 300 meters to reach 3KM that will make even the largest cargo planes to land comfortably.

APC national were fighting against Okorocha because of 2023 election so he was doing federal projects with State money to attract federal presence.

greenandy:


You and the too many people like you in Imo state make late Sam Mbakwe look stupid. Mbakwe quickly built four surface water supply projects in then Imo state.
You make northern Nigeria’s governors who provide treated pipe borne water for their citizens look stupid.
You make working governor Sam Umahi of Ebonyi state look stupid; Umahi has just completed an expensive surface water supply project in his state.
Too many Nd’Imo parade university degrees but ask government to build roads in state capital but forget treated pipe borne water supply. Nd’Imo, including PhD holders, get angry with government over pot holes in the state capital but return home to cook and even drink untreated water from water boreholes.

kikake:


... and APC national was not made up of foolish people.

Who in his right mindset could justify the acts of a state governor using scarce funds of a state to build federal projects without prior agreement with federal government for reimbursement?

Who in his right mindset would not fight off a state governor who deliberately destroyed his state’s university teaching hospital as the teaching hospital lost accreditation; a governor who watched floods ravage a whole portion of his state in the same area the teaching hospital was located without urban drainage system, even scrapped and abandoned many roads in the same area.

Leaders in Orlu zone swore earlier that Okorocha’s son-in-law would not be allowed to succeed Okorocha as governor of Imo state. The rest is history.

Gulak and Oshiomwole did not come without reason to ensure that Okorocha was denied quasi 3rd term he sought through his son-in-law.

You don't know anything so I forgive your ignorance.

seankafor:
guy, how do.you feel saying these things?

Dedetwo:


Yet some goons will navigate to this forum to emphasize the good job Okoroawusa performed in Imo State. Okoroawusa tenure as the governor of Imo State was the most wasteful of all governors. It was during the jackass's reign that Imo State academically fell out of first 4 in Nigeria. What a dunce. I had rather send him to his forbearer than praise the fool.

B2mario:


I'm telling you the truth of the whole thing as they are and you are asking me how do I feel saying it? Most of you here are paid propagandists who are bent on destroying Rochas and Imo image. You are either working for Peter Obi, Tinubu (who see Rochas as a strong obstacle to their presidential aspiration forgetting that life is controlled by destiny) or aggrieved imo politician. Take this or leave it, Rochas is the destined one and nobody can stop him.

He tried for the ordinary Imo masses (most of his programmes are poor masses oriented) with a very little attention to Imo old political cabals, infact, he clipped their wings that was why they all teamed together to fight him including the present the governor. And this is why up to today they are doing their possible best to erase Rochas legacy. I hope you are not one of their paid agents.

SmartPolician:


Preach from today till Thy Kingdom come, you cannot change the fact that Rochas' projects are the most inferior in the country.

I stopped taking you seriously when you said that COREN is politicised for cautioning Imolites not use elevated deathtraps Rochas built.

Admittedly, Rochas is a philanthropist but a very clueless leaders and administrator. If that man had some sense, he would have done a great job in Imo State so that everyone will support his presidential ambition.

SmartPolician:


There's no justification for what Rochas did in Imo State.

Today, the state has lots of abandoned projects

That man just lacks administrative and planning know-how

B2mario:


Continue deceiving yourself, political tout. Rochas projects are there for all eyes to see. You can term them whatever you wish to term them but the clear truth is that he completed 90% of his projects.

It was your man, Ihedioha that closed all of them to make them seemed abandoned starting from the international cargo airport, the 10 new higher institutions, the federal high court complex, the police headquarters, the federal prison complex, the 27 general hospitals, the flyovers and tunnels and to few to mention.

Thanks God that present rational government has seen need to put some of these into use. Ihedioha is the man on Earth and God must ever punish him for destroying Imo state.

kikake:
Lol. After 8 years as governor, about one month to leave office, Rochas pronounced many sites as university and polytechnic; unarguably to make Nd’Imo remove eyes from the multi billion Naira Eastern Palm University in his hometown built with IMSG funds while he was governor.

If Rochas had earlier converted Eastern Palm University to become campus of Imo state university, or a new state university, he would have been a Johnny-do-good for Imo state university which has had no real university structures more than 20 years after it was established on a very wrong site by former governor Evan Enwerem .

Enwerem met FUTO, AICE and Polytechnics Nekede all in Owerri, saw better developed university premises in Orlu, yet he established IMSU in Owerri.
Rochas wanted to build and own a private university while serving as state governor. E don happen, what is the condition of Eastern Palm University today?

Yampotatocarrot:


Can you imagine the insincerity. He couldn't do it throughout 8years until it was about one month to the end of his tenure. If this isn't to create problem for the next governor, I wonder what is. Such selfishness and wickedness.

I've always wondered if Eastern Palm University is a private university or a public university. From your answer, now I know it is a public university.

I have never entered IMSU before, but I've heard news of them lacking structures and all. Rather than converting the Eastern Palm University into a new university, what stops the Imo state government from using it as a campus of IMSU, then open another campus in Okigwe.

That way, IMSU will reduce the pressure on its structures in Owerri while expanding its frontiers to other zones in the state. Also, other zones will feel the presence of government in the name of a university. The presence of these campuses in those zones will also bring about positive ripple effect to the communities around it.

Schools even in developed countries have campuses in various states, so it won't be a new thing. Those different campuses will run different courses and anyone applying will know where he/she will be based of given admission. iMSUTH can retain its presence in Orlu for medical students. O gu go

#Imo Must Be Better#

Yampotatocarrot:


10 new higher institutions. As in,in our current Imo state, Rochas developed 10 NEW higher institutions.

Please, I'm unaware of this, enlighten me
