Abagworo:
None of those roads is worth 12billion.
Rivers State spends far more in road construction. Ada George road had more than 400 houses demolished and compensation of roughly 20million per house which amounts 8billion. Okporo road had more than 200 houses demolished with valued compensation of above 4billion. The roads in Akwaibom were built on virgin land and with laterite. We should not be deceived by the paints and. Markings. The roads in Rivers State are built with white sharp sand and cast with concrete before tarring. Most Akwaibom roads were built with open drainage or no drainage while Rivers State is constructing an integrated underground drainage with walkways. Most schools in Rivers State have been mordernized and cost between 150million to 450million each with equiped libraries and sports facilities.

OsunOriginal:

Man stop just talking for the sake of it. What does a state benefit from people selling Gala and people riding okada? If they are farmers or even artisans, a may support you. These people that dont pay tax. These people that turn to armed robbery later. Yet we compete for roads, house, water, electricity, market, etc with them.

Can they move to Akwa Ibom state since the state has now been transformed to Dubai?

ballabriggs:

We are comparing because they are not doing enough to help reduce the surge in Lagos' population. Lagos has its projects but it is overwhelmed by the fast rising population. It has worked on over 5000 classroom blocks but it still has many more to do. And please spare us that tale of neglect. Ever since the Capital has been moved to Abuja in the early 1990s, Lagos has received very little attention from the center.

Why then should we not compare?

rhymz: @Eko Ile
hahahahah. . . Seriously, you have lost objectivity and sincerity, all you want to do right now is win the argument even if you will have to tell lies.
Again I ask, where are you getting your Lagos population figures from?
Lagos is not anywhere near that exaggerated figure. Yes, Lagos is populated but does it realy contain 20million people as you keep claiming, hell NO!

According to official census figures from the Nigerian government that actually carried out census activities in 2006 in all of Nigeria, Lagos State has a population of almost 8million and Akwa Ibom is almost 5million unlike the unofficial and unrealistic claims from the Lagos state government who apparently did not carry out any census activity to back up their outrageous claims of 20million people.
Lagos state Land area is an estimated 3,568 kilometre square which explains the very high population density of 7941 people per kilometre square of land area. Now compare that to Akwa Ibom with a land area of 7081kilometre square and a much smaller population density of 330 people per kilometre square, common sense will tell you that land area contributed immensly to the high
population density of Lagos state than any other factor. Lagos state population will look less dense if spread on a larger land area and people will get a different impression and projection figure from that as well.
What you don't realize is that if every state were to carry out their own independent census, they will definitely be getting much higher population figures as well, not just Lagos state.

The exaggerated census figures attributed to Lagos by unofficial sources is as a result of its relatively small land area. Yes, people come to Lagos to do business, many destinations-business and otherwise- to Nigeria begin in Lagos, Lagos is not neccessarily the last point of their destination. To conclude that every one that makes up the human traffic in Lagos lives in Lagos is simple-minded and shallow.
Do you know the number of people that visit commercial cities like Onitsha, Aba, Kano and Kaduna on daily basis?

Your arguments are more of sentiments, guts feelings and false combative spirit to win an argument than common sense and logic. There's too much politics going on with the way government officials both state and FG churn out population figures, it all depends on intent and not neccessarily facts. But if one was to choose between projections and estimates that did not come statistical collection of data and the greatly flawed official population figures from the Nigerian census board, the latter will be taken more seriously, am afraid.

So na you know where you dey get all those figures you alleged Fashola "feeds and caters" for with his own portion of the billions that accrues to the state.
As far as I know, Lagosians cater for themselves, Lagos state does not have any social security scheme that caters to any segment of the Lagos populace, unless of course we are talking about Asiwaju and company,then I can concur.

As for your challenge of pasting Akpabio's achievement, sunny bobo was doing that until you halted the process with your negetive comments and your superhuman god, Fashola. Anyway, somebody else, cantje has created another thread seeing how you ve succeded in derailing this one. He did justice to it, here is the link;
https://www.nairaland.com/1139783/evolving-city-uyo
go there and fill your eyes, I hope you won't start making those petty statements of envy again like you always do; you did it with the Enugu thread (you prolly met some crazy igbo fellows there that were ready to take you word for word and blow for blow, and then ran out) That thread is now in its 88th page.
Now you are doing same to this one, reminds me of that saying: you don't get ulcer from what you eat but from what is eating you.

dude, itz obvious u're very furious wit envy n jealousy coz akwa ibom is making thingz happen- weather done by attah/ Akpabio. But hey, stop displayin ur stupidity on NL n just get facts straight. No.1, Ameachi got d idea of expandin dat Ada-George road 4m Akwa ibom, long after all d major roads in Uyo were dualized, qualized n sexlized. No.2, all d single-lane roads in Uyo had 2b reconstructed wit stone-base wit huge compensations paid 2expand all of dem right 4m 2001. No.3, Ameachi copied dat idea 4m akwa ibom wen he came 2join in d commissioning of those dualized, qualized n sexlized roads. No.4, No state in Nigeria can match akwa ibom in infrastructure. No.5, JULIUS BERGER had 2relocate their SS/SE headquaters from PH city to Uyo because Ameachi cud not pay dem wat dere deserve, n all julius berger n Setraco roads are STONE-BASED n not laterites- n dat's their minimum standard. KEEP Continuing 2gren wit envy as much as u want, but one thing is certain, u'll soon go n hug ur neighbourhood's transformer. F00l.

Abagworo:


It is good to free your mind and accept constructive criticism. Julius Berger was expelled by Amaechi for their refusal to commence work at the Eleme junction bridge even after the security of their staff has been guaranteed by Government. I'm a friend of Akwa-Ibomites anyway. What I'm saying here is that nothing in Akwa-Ibom justifies the "jara" 12billion per month. Rivers State is not better off but the cost of running Rivers State is much higher than Akwa-Ibom and the quality of roads(not aesthetics) in Rivers is far better. Rivers State is riverine and has much more difficult terrain too. Amaechi has stolen some funds but Akpabio should be one of Africa's richest men.

Paul John: Wow!!!
Great

really? .......the only companies right now in PH with fairly good quality of roads is RCC and LCC....and even at that dem no reach julius berger.why you dey talk like this now?have you been to uyo?
i am a thoroughbred PH boy, maybe like you, but lets say the truth abeg.the quality of roads in AI is far better.

brushparke:
While you guys are still green with envy let me just make matters worse for you all.
Akwa Ibom will never sack over 700 doctors. For your information, Akwa Ibom state pays its doctors far more than even the Federal Government.
If you doubt, which i know you will (because you are brainwashed to), take a trip to any hospital in Akwa
Ibom and ask the first doctor you meet.

Eko Ile: Delta state's budget for 2012 = 361.

Delta state's population 3-4 million


Delta state is 4 times richer than Lagos state, but still nothing to show from UDUAGHAN, Ibori and others combined...

Chai. Nigerians and their propensity for manliness measuring contests.

It's two different states, two individuals, two different styles. In my opinion, each should be left to their constituents to judge. We the Lagos residents have passed judgement on Fashola, it's left to people who live in Akwa Ibom to pass judgement on Akpabio, since they know where the shoe pinches.

All apologists and self-appointed 'Voltrons' should sharrap abeg

Image123: seriously, eko ile needs to visit akwa ibom. Someone has even offered to sponsor the trip. Every state has maternity homes, schools, parks and technical colleges. its not exactly expected to be taking pictures of that to show transformation. All these things are in even small ekiti state, and they are in akwa ibom too but are the norm not major accomplishments. Most government schools in akwa ibom are big and well equipped. The thread says uncommon transformation, not all those gragra likes of agagu ondo state and Daniel ogun state can beat chest about.
