The truth is, hard times are shaping our culture and reality. It's not uncommon for elderly ones to use their children as retirement plan in this part of the world, but times are hard now. Men are struggling to fend for themselves, their immediate families and their aged parents.

But who takes care of elderly women who didn't get married, had no child and didn't adopt any? The same nephews and nieces who are struggling to take care of themselves? This is why some of them will have to resort to going to care homes where they will get decent care before they kick the bucket.

in the middle of the biafra war there was no elderly homes. Nigerians have to stop this 'suffering hard times' complex. In African culture, a child is the retirement plan of their children. 100% of Nigerians have an entire clan of family regardless of whether they got married or not. Tomorrow we will say that children should stop using their parents as a welfare program. chie lol. I can tell where you mentality is coming from because you're even using oyibo family structure to justify this failure.

But because of over-oyibo, someone will not send their parent to a governor's vanity project when we know in 10 months that think will become a dungeon.

I'm tired of being the only African with a brain

If Hope can place street light on all road in Orlu main town or city, that will go along way to help the second city in Imo state attract some local investors just like Nnewi or Onitsha in Anambra.


Aside Orlu is actually meant to be like Awka or Owerri as the capital of a State under review or proposed.


Orlu keeps producing Governors with nothing to show.


Can Hope turn the tide and is he currently righting that wrong?


Time will tell but this video of Orlu looks promising.

what are we creating more states for in south east, imo is already small, you guys still want to reduce the size further??

mandax:


You observed correctly - Orlu is supposed to be like Awka and Abakaliki. But Abacha refused to create Njaba state then. Instead, he created 7 states in his NW zone.
Yet Orlu did not give up, it continued to develop despite that it has no institution with large population, unlike Owerri, Awka and Abakaliki with multiple institutions with large populations.
Gov Hope is like he is bent on creating a second modern city for Imo state, given the way he has embarked on reconstruction of roads in Orlu and the surrounding local govt areas.

we don't need to divide Imo state further, the state is already small, we need to add another states like Anioma to make us six.

Due to political underrepresentation of the
people in the southeast and the denied federal allocations and development projects arising from the five states only political structure in the southeast, the southeast deserves a sixth state. They don't use land mass as yardstick to create new states.

In Imo state, one zone holds nearly 95% of all govt establishments for Imo state. The zone should agree to redistribution of the govt establishments to Orlu and Okigwe zones before it starts to object to creating another state from Imo state.

Imo state should pull out from that useless eedc so that they can enjoy 247 electricity like Aba.

Imo state has the potential of becoming an Agricultural power house. I just hope the roads will last the next 30 years plus

U people from imo, u guys are some how. If u saw these roads built by say governor otti or Soludo, u would have praised them to high heavens and say uzodinma is not doing anything, u wouldn't have asked if the road would last up to 30 years plus, but now uzodinma did it, instead of u to applaud him u now came with another talk of an ingrate "I just hope the roads will last up to 30 years plus". I think most people from imo have complex issues, never want to see anything good in their state, but always quick to compare their state with another in a negative manner.

Oga we want the best for our state, your uzodimgba is doing absolutely nothing in Imo. This his 6yrs in office as Imo state governor and if all what he can boast of is this road and a few others and you are here applauding him and wanting us to worship him, then shame on you and him. Imo pride herself as the most educated state in Nigeria yet there's absolutely nothing to show or prove for it due to rogues who calls themselves rulers, and here you are wanting people to applaud a thieving governor who has spent only a peanut of the yearly budgets which are some times bigger than the budgets of other 4 South East states combined, while pocketing the rest. It won't be well with uzodimgba, the rest ex governors of Imo and all those who s them.
