My name is LUCKY SPARK. A 24 years old graduate of Mechanical Engineering Department, in Federal Polytechnic Nekede Owerri IMO State,
I am born into a family that would be described as that of the middle class only in the city of Orlu. Attended one of the local community primary school from kindergarten to SSCE and left the city for the first time after my SSCE.
MY ORLU STORY
We ORLU BORN AND BRED are taken for granted because of our ratty environment which is described as unsafe for a growing child. It is described as the worst place to train a child morally, academically and all that but the truth is that, if you passed through this static environment then you are entitled to greatness. We grew up with no school bus to take us to and fro school thus we are athletes. We grew up with no TV to watch Canteens yet we are not snubs and rated the best in socialization, we grew up in a dilapidated environment yet we are clean freaks, we grew up with no knowledge of amazement parks but we created it with our feet join together THAT'S THE ORIGIN OF TEAM WORK, we grew up without the knowledge of dress sense but we gonna snatch your hubby/wife when we put that two okirika together.
"EDUCATION IS ZERO IN ORLU" but I am here to burst your bubbles, I am here to shake your table and trust me when I say you will have no choice but to attach yourself in our table, the table of great Orlu people. You think I've gat nothing right? then you've not met: I will like to mention only four prominent men in Orlu IMO state.

It is time for us to define Orlu and not let it define us, It is time for us to admit that we grew up there because it only signified that we created our own connection. The President's son have it all but is out of inheritance but our case is different. We've decided to be our own connection! Feel free to tell your Orlu or IMO story.
