A group of lawyers today protested against the disgraceful abandonment of roads that are leading to an economic downfall in the Abia State of Nigeria. According to a coalition of human rights groups, if nothing is urgently done to remedy the situation, the city of Aba would face imminent collapse.

The lawyers protested round Aba city wearing their gowns and yellow rainboots.

TA Orji should just resign.

Wow!...Aba looks like a dump in this picture. I've been hearing that Aba was bad but I never thought it would be this bad.

Mehn!Is this a living habitat?I having goose pimple all iver me right now,it is a repulsive sight.

Is dis kind of news dat creates hate in d mind of otherwise decent pple& some pple will come out 2say y do u wish d person dead.Somebody shd tel me if a governor of such a state deserves 2 remain in dat seat.
Av always sed T.A. Orji shd be thousands of miles away frm any seat of governance,not evn a councillor in a ward

It doesnt seem loike there is any kind of rational organisation in that town,not even a family union.It is like rats dwelling.

Is this picture real? Someone should confirm it

Aba is like a big toilet.

Disgusting

Is this for real?the past,and present governors should be shot dead...they are heartless,this roads are result of years of neglect...woe betides our leaders.

Jesus Christ of Abakaliki.

This is a PDP state? No wonder most Aba indigenes cant stay there

I still wonder why Abians allow this evil (TA Orji) to befall them. They should have chased him away the way Imo way.

Tufiakwa!!

Someone just takes a picture of a particular place in Aba and uploads it as a true representation of Aba. Yes, we know Aba is bad but not this bad and not everywhere. When i went to Aba 3 years ago, i was trying very hard to find the dirty Aba i kept hearing and seeing all over the internet but i couldn't find any. Even Ogbor hill that seems like a middle to lower-class neigbourhood is not that bad.

Aba is really gud

I refuse to believe people live in the places those pictures show. .No way!! Not Even!!!

Na lie,u kip coming here condemning Lagos,yet your state is awful,dirty,and disgusting

Wonder if Theo's tenure lasts till 2015 because that will be one long, long wait. Pity.

How can people live above 42 years when they live in such environment?. . .Life expectancy has to be very low when you live in such environment. . .

^^^You care to share pics of the 'decent' Aba you saw.....or we should just take your word for it? I am yet to see even one decent pic of that town.

It looks like a meteorite struck that road in the first pic, and left a massive crater.

This is an oil producing state, and even though i'm not expecting development on the level of Akwa Ibom and Rivers, i would at least expect decent roads in Umuahia and Aba.

Lasgidi007: Wow!...Aba looks like a dump in this picture. I've been hearing that Aba was bad but I never thought it would be this bad.

Its worse than d put depicts

My Lawdy lawdy! Eye sore!

Aba is shit,this governor is very wicked look at his own state

Abagworo: Is this picture real? Someone should confirm it

This is even small to so many parts of the town. I don't wish my enemy state to have T. A. Orji as councilor talk more of LGA chairman. Was born, breed and presently working in Aba but I ve not seen the kinda rascal govt. I pity Aba. You can see his achievements on the pages of newspaper and billboards.

The pictures are real. I was in Aba a couple of week back. The neglect's simply unimaginable.

Those pictures are real, i don't think you really visited Aba, may be you didn't try very well in your mission to find bad road. The whole road in Aba is bad and thats why the lawyers are protesting. Aba as a city is dead, dead, dead dead. May God help Aba.

Shut your azz...i'm not from Abia.

I'm not saying those pictures are not real. They are, but they're not a true representation of the state of the whole of Aba as the wholeness of that city is not that astronomical.

Why is it now that people are just waking from slumber, were they not there when he finished his first tenure and suddenly started another tenure. They should have waited until the economic of the state come to an end, why shouldn't what happened in imo state to take place in Abia well this a right step taken in a right other. Abia must be great because it is God's own state

Am in Aba now, this is not even among the fifth worst deplored area. Aba is a messed. No single road is passable. Though you lied here but I can't wish you to be governed by T. A. Orji, even my worst enemy. If I have a means, I will upload my pics and you see that this pic is more pretty. I can't wait for 2015 and see God will deliver this State, though not my state but I owe my life to it.

You're yet to see a descent picture of Aba because the one's you've seen are the only pictures that can paint Aba as it's known to popular wisdom. Of course, we can't compare the senerity of Aba to those of Enugu, Owerri, Uyo or Calabar but it has some decent(average) places just like every other average city. Those pictures are not only astronomical but were taken in the eyes of mischief makers with a camera purchased from hell and produced by satan with materials assembled by his demons.
