Lemme take you to orlu
In IMO state (the 5th biggest economy in Nigeria)

Orlu is the second biggest city in IMO state
It was created alongside owerri and okigwe,
After the olden IMO was divided to carve out Abia state,
Orlu regarded as a separate senatorial zone.
Among the 11 l.G.A Area the main urban areas are the oru east and oru west l.G.A, (with IMO state government estimating the 2 l.G.A population to be around 420,000) while the entire orlu city to have a population of 3millon

It has a long history and has played a critical role as the headquarters for the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) ran humanitarian relief agencies during the Nigeria-Biafra Civil War. The Nigerian headquarters of the British Cheshire Home is in the city.



Orlu is a home for enterprise and industry which gives it the unofficial tag of the commercial capital of Imo state. Many successful Nigerian businessmen, industrialists and champions of industries hail from its eleven local government areas that make up what is widely called Orlu Senatorial Zone. They include Orsu, Isu, Njaba, Nwangele, Nkwerre, Ideato North, Ideato South, Oru East, Oru West, Ohaji/Egbema and Oguta. The city centres of the local government area are within the host towns of Amaifeke, Ihioma/Ebenese, Umuna, Umuowa, Umutanze, Okporo, Orlu-Gedegwum and Owerre-Ebeiri. When all of the LGAs in the zone are included Orlu's population is estimated to be approaching 3,000,000 inhabitants.

The permanent site for various industries, state and federal agencies like the Imo State University Teaching Hospital, the state owned Cardboard Industry in Owerri-Ebeiri, the newly built Imo State School of Nursing and Health Technology at Okporo and a host of small and medium size chemical and pharmaceutical companies, the multi purpose Imo International Market, which houses one of the three most influential pharmaceutical markets in West Africa, are based in Orlu. This is due to the high number of Orlulites in the pharmaceutical and chemical industry. Consequently, the Orlu Zonal Area has the highest concentration of indigenous pharmaceutical manufacturers and marketers in the whole of African continent. The Ogbosisi Timber centre is located within the quick expanding Orlu Urban area and the City centre. The Nigeria Immigration Training School (NITS) in Umuowa and the Technological Skills Acquisition Centre (TESAC) are based in the city.

Amah70:
Orlu is the name taken by people from nearly all the 12 LGAs in Orlu senatorial district because before local government areas were created, people from the local government areas of Orlu zone regarded themselves as Orlu people; they do same till today despite the differences in the local government names. Similar culture, same dialect referred to as dialect of “ndi uzo Uzo.”
These local government areas in Orlu zone would have all fused to one big modern city if not for the inadequacies of governors of Imo state from Orlu senatorial zone who paid scanty attention to modern development in their zone.

So poster did not deviate much in some of his assertions.

Orlu is the second biggest city in IMO state
It was created alongside owerri and okigwe,
After the olden IMO was divided to carve out Abia state,
Orlu was further divided into 11 l.G.A and was also regarded as a separate senatorial zone.
Among the 11 l.G.A Area the main urban areas are the oru east and oru west l.G.A, (without IMO state government estimating the 2 l.G.A population to be around 420,000) while the entire orlu city to have a population of 3millon

What is wrong with education in Nigeria? Orlu, as city, does not have any LGA. However Orlu urban town is an integral part of Orlu LGA. The display of stark ignorance of the fact by the writer of the above crap is complete unbecoming of Igbo person. When did Nkwerre or even Nwangele become part of Orlu town? Instead Imo State is divided into three senatorial districts under three major urban areas of Imo State hence Owerri, Orlu and Okigwe. It is amount to irredeemable stupidity to remotely insinuate the Ohaji\Egbama LGA is part of Orlu town. In fact, Ohaji is closer to Owerri municipality than Orlu urban.
