Yampotatocarrot: Seriously, inadequate electricity is really impeding development in this country, and the government does not know. This problem of inadequate land in southeast can be averted by building skycrapers for offices and residential houses. The way I see it that's the only way forward, the lands would soon finish in the cities. |

Yampotatocarrot:They may now be lobbying gov Uzodinma to build skyscrapers in Owerri to, according to them as usual, make Owerri look like OTHER STATES CAPITAL CITIES, the same way they lobbied Ohakim and Okorocha to build FLYOVERS in Owerri to make Owerri look like other capital cities. Most annoying thing from this Owerri people is that they don’t want to see that common urban drainage system does not exist anywhere outside Owerri in Imo state, no sustainable public water supply system exists anywhere outside Owerri in Imo state, no public university exists anywhere outside Owerri in Imo state, yet they push every governor of Imo state into wasting scarce funds to build vainglorious boulevards and other edifices in Owerri. Where are the flyovers and tunnels they literally forced Okorocha to build in Owerri where roundabout or traffic lights would have been better? 1 Like |
Re: Few Pics From Imo State by longayink: 10:32pm On Jul 12, 2020 |
Let IMSG let the flyovers remain like that for the flyover crazy - capital city people who asked for them. Millions of Naira state funds must not be put into demolition of the flyovers while rest of Imo state have no common pipe borne water, hardly any passable urban roads in towns outside the state capital. How much shall end up in demolishing this tunnel built where there was no hill in Owerri, where a roundabout would have been better? Owerri clapped “Owelle mere yaaa” when the tunnels were built. 1 Like

hammer3:Rochas Okorocha is no more governor. Okorocha is the only governor in the world who can put in millions or billions of Naira to decorate state capital in a state without common treated public water supply systems. He expected Imo people to consume untreated water from water boreholes for ages. Abagworo then goes online to show off the decorations. 1 Like |

Chibuzo15: My brother, that's why I said he is correct. High-rise buildings are the way out and we have people with the capital to invest in it. But, issue is electricity Geometric power plant is located in Abia state and supplies electricity to the state. If not for sheet greed and wickedness on the part of Emeka Offor, what stops him from accepting that Geometric powers Imo also, while he focuses on his distribution? (Emeka Offor is the owner of EEDC) In his wickedness, he'll rather not supply electricity and yet bill people for it, than supply electricity and be paid for it. I don't know how someone will do that to his own people. He even had a legal action with Geometric when they tried supplying to Abia state, even when he knew he couldn't do it. I don't get it. There are communities in Jos with up to 20hours constant electricity. This electricity is generated by the mining industries there and the communities pay for it. Geometric Power Plant in Abia state is ready to generate enough electricity for both Abia and Imo states conveniently while we pay for it. However, the distribution is under EEDC and they prefer not to distribute electricity at all and yet charge people through estimated billings, hence their refusal to allow Geometric supply. I don't even know if there is any area under EEDC with prepaid meter. I just don't get it. Emeka Offor has to for once, put his greed aside and think about what is best for his people. I blame Goodluck Jonathan for all this and hope the wrong choice he made in the electricity sector haunt him this night. #ImoWillBeBetter# |

Areas mapped out for housing in the 27 LGAs of Imo state must be fully occupied before talk of building skyscrapers. Perhaps more than 100 years from now. Japan has little land mass but used skyscrapers to make up housing for its people. Japan did not go into building skyscrapers in the capital city, Tokyo, while rest of Japan lay fallow. But if any private developers love skyscrapers, it can be built. People from Owerri area are supposed to be very rich as funds of government to Imo state have circulated mostly in Owerri since 1976. Native land owners in Owerri sell a plot of land and become millionaires. People from Orlu and Okigwe zones are saddled with the LIFE TORTURE of building two living houses- one in Owerri where public infrastructures like water, universities and good roads are restricted to in Imo state, then another house in their villages in Orlu and Okigwe zones. So let the rich people from Owerri area build skyscrapers in Owerri. It’s only a stupid fellow who can lobby IMSG to build skyscrapers in Owerri because he/she sees skyscrapers in other capital cities. 2 Likes |

If Imo is a state steered by true humans between 2007 and 2019, people of Imo state should have coerced the two governors to reconstruct this road to IMSUTH in Orlu Imo state. The animals asking IMSG for flyovers and skyscrapers in Owerri would not raise dust against IMSG because of this road. But after a bout of illness and they die in the skyscrapers, due to absence of a good hospital in Imo state, their bodies get thrown into a rickety downstairs morgue.

The Orient Garden City The Orient is designed as City on land 100 hectares of table land, to guarantee the optimal ambience of its dream. This size of land when completed its site and services, would represent the visionary cardinal points, intentioned to complete the city and maintain a long-term benefit for the promoters and her subscribers. Orient garden would be zoned in three (3) arms. These arms would confidently and comfortably represent the CARDINALS, (WORK, PLAY AND LIVE). Zone 1 – THE CRAFT In this zone, we intend to subdivide it in two(2) established standard as A and B. A) Would consist of commercial center. This would house the iconic structure where you would find the MORDEN OFFICES, partitioned to suit every intention of wide variety of subscribers, both formal and informal businesses. This same area would house THE CINEMA, THE POLICE POST, CRECH NURSERY, SHOPPING MART, PHARMACY, SPAR, LOUNGE AND SHORT STAY APARTMENTS, managed by a world class facility management company. B) This area would be clearly delineated from the commercial center to house the recreation centers, strictly for residence and their visitors. In this facility, you find the swimming pool area, sporting areas including gym and fitness center, long tennis, football pitch and golf course. Zone 2- THE BOURGEOIS The severe gap for the emerging middle class to have a quality and secured environment for their housing needs has necessitated the creation of this environment in THE ORIENT. This community would house the middle class. The plots on this area is between 500sqm to 900sqm, designed to either house a single unit dwelling homes on 500sqm or 2 units homes (single units detached or semi detached homes) on 900sqm. Green areas, gardens and parks, play pen would be a common symbol associated in this environment with a massive green belt. The streets on this zone would be named after some prominent Imo daughters, mothers or wives. Zone 3 – THE GRANDEUR This community would be the flagship, the cynosure of the projects. The plots on this community are from 1350sqm to 1800sqm, spread to accommodate individual luxury, including gym, tennis courts, swimming pool and gardens. Apart from the common garden, parks and walkways, there would also be an OBI (a common assembly) that consist of private Lounge, meeting rooms, pool area and gym. There would be a mini golf course and long tennis court. The street here would be named after imo prominent sons and fathers. http://orientgardencity.com/orient-garden-city/ 1 Like |

sanctity454: Nice concept for urban expansion of Owerri, but hopefully, must be done by PRIVATE DEVELOPERS SO THAT IMSG SHALL PUT SCARCE FUNDS INTO PROVIDING LIFE SAVING INFRASTRUCTURES LIKE PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY SYSTEMS, URBAN DRAINAGE AND ROADS TO REST OF IMO STATE NOW UNDER DECADENCE. They didn’t create Imo state to make Orlu and Okigwe to go into extinction for Owerri state capital. Many state capital cities in the US and other countries are less developed than other cities in the same state. Turn by turn development policy in Imo state, beginning with state capital, hatched and sold to successive state governors of Imo state, is a most deceptive development policy which is sending Orlu and Okigwe to near extinction. It’s not different from Apartheid development policy abolished in South Africa. 1 Like |

longayink: Stop quoting me if you cannot seek help from Google. Did Even Enwerem establish IMSU as a private entrepreneur or governor? IMSU was established in 1981 while Evan Enwerem became governor in 1992. Who in his/her right sense would leave a thing of value in the hands of people such as you? By the way, sounded less convincing than the leadership you tend to criticize. If the successive government finds a public structure with serious safety issue, it is pertinent on the part of the government to demolish such structure. |

longayink: If at all you are from Imo State, you or family member could be within the structure when it collapses. Nobody from Owerri requested for the silly flyover. |
Re: Few Pics From Imo State by McStoic(m): 2:48pm On Jul 14, 2020 |
Dedetwo: The guy's stupidity reeks and stinks to high heavens. I wonder how some of our Orlu brothers think. Imagine the guy putting the blame for poor infrastructure on Owerri zone/folks, Jesus Christ!! As in, justifying a governor's wickedness just because he is angry at Owerri zone. I am utterly shocked beyond words... |
Re: Few Pics From Imo State by longayink: 11:26pm On Jul 14, 2020 |
McStoic: Evil mind, you knew that uncompleted urban drainage system was wrecking Orlu when you were asking Ohakim and Okorocha to build you flyovers where roundabouts or traffic lights would have sufficed in Owerri. You foolishly believed that flyover is a sign of big city. The two governors hurriedly built you flyovers in Owerri. They will never collapse so long as vehicles don’t ply on them. Let them remain flyover monuments for you; at least to make you learn a lesson that other parts of Imo state need the most basic infrastructures like treated running water and good roads before unnecessary flyovers in Owerri. |
Re: Few Pics From Imo State by longayink: 11:41pm On Jul 14, 2020 |
Dedetwo: Poor you. It’s not only people of Imo state that pass through, or live, in Owerri. The flyovers will never collapse unless vehicles ply on them. Why deny Owellle now? You and others like you from Owerri clapped: “Owelle mere yaaa,” when the flyovers and tunnels, Federal Police and Prisons Hqtrs and six inland roads clustered together, were being built by Owelle in Owerri with federal allocations of the 27 local government areas of Imo state; federal allocations that should have gone for providing basic social amenities, including roads and drainage gutters and running water, in the local government areas. You pretended you didn’t see the decadence in Okigwe and Orlu areas then. Folks like you have already started to demand that gov Uzodinma build skyscrapers in Owerri. What do you people interpret state capital to be? Greedy and most primitive folks like you have been working for long to make Orlu and Okigwe dry up and possibly go to extinction. |

Dedetwo: Imo state university was established in Owerri May 1992 by then governor Evan Enwerem from Owerri senatorial district. Abia state university that was once called Imo state university, was established by Mbakwe government in 1981. Do some research before you come online. Stop confusing yourself, there is only one Imo state university today. That’s the Imo state university placed in Owerri on the premises of an abandoned and dilapidated secondary school in the centre of Owerri, whereas there was a better, larger and recently refurbished university premises in Orlu then at the old Bishop Shanahan Training College where AICE Campus was opened but closed shortly after Mbakwe who opened it left office. Enwerem was not supposed to locate Imo state university in Owerri, given the fact that FUTO, Polytechnic Nekede, Alvan Ikoku College of Education were then in Owerri. What happened was that Owerri people told Enwerem not to locate IMSU outside Owerri zone, given the bitter assets sharing process between Imo state and new Abia state then. Owerri people believed that Njaba state would soon be created with Orlu zone as nucleus, so if IMSU got located in Orlu, it’s likely that Owerri might lose IMSU to another new state again. Define primitive greed and parochialism considering what transpired in location of IMSU in Owerri. That primitive greed and parochialism persist till today, and have given rise to Imo state where Owerri area is donkey years of modernity ahead of rest of Imo state. Name any other state in Nigeria where all six tertiary education institutions are in one senatorial zone, except Imo state. Imopoly is closest to Owerri. 1 Like |

longayink: The bolded in the above post represents the cornerstone of your stream of thought, you probably will secure one digit score in IQ test. Imo State University was created in 1981 and situated in Uturu, Isuikwuato\Okigwe LGA. However the creation of Abia State saw Uturu, Isuikwuiato in Abia State. The former IMSU became Abia State University. It is at this juncture that IMSU temporarily co-existed with AICE, Owerri until the FUTO is relocated to its present campus thereby freeing a space for IMSU. Name one state where more than two governors had come from one senatorial zone. With your silly attitude, Orlu probably might be out of government house for long. 1 Like |

McStoic: Your Ndaa Ejiogu, Sam Onwuemodo, both from Owerri zone, were the henchmen and ideologues of then gov Okorocha when Okorocha government built the flyovers, and later the tunnels were built in Owerri. Together with “Olu Owerri,” they pressured Okorocha with the phrase: “first build Nd’Imo a mega capital city like Dubai, after which future governors shall take care of Orlu and Okigwe areas.” Okorocha who was courting Owerri support for his political empire through building Owerri to Dubai level agreed. You pretend you don’t know of these, abi? The flyovers and tunnels are part of the Dubai city in the making in Owerri. |

Re: Few Pics From Imo State by longayink: 12:24pm On Jul 15, 2020 |
McStoic: As your Owerri expands and attracts more population from Orlu and Okigwe zones, governments are constrained to build more social infrastructures in Owerri to match the rapidly expanding city. There shall be little or no funds to provide basic development amenities in Orlu and Okigwe zones. Orlu and Okigwe areas shrink and possibly go to extinction. Your Nda Ejiogu, Onwuemeodo and “Olu Owerri” knew this fact as they pushed Ohakim and Okorocha to build mega capital city first in Owerri. Owerri zone has mass education from hosting the tertiary education institutions in Imo state at the exclusion of Orlu and Okigwe zones. With the mass education, people of Owerri pressure and hoodwink every governor of Imo state to become quasi governor of state capital. 1 Like |

In addition, the government must establish after hour activities. When all traders have gone home, the area must be swept and all the rubbish cleared.
