Mr Man, are you not ashamed of yourself. Do those project looks like what you see in other states?

I am from Abia State specifically Umunneochi LGA. We must be grateful to the lady that captured the ineptitude of our RULERS in Abia state for the whole world to see. It is quite unfortunate that no one dares challenge the bad governance in God's Own State. In Abia state we do not have credible leaders but looters who make the government house their family farm and barn. The former governor's era was characterized by MAMACARASY while this era is characterized with SONCARASY. This is unfortunate. But I know for sure, as sure as ever that one day there will be massive revolution in Abia state that will swallow all these looters in both GH and National/State assembly houses that take the life and well being of abians for granted.

I'm so certain that if we dig Nairaland archive for topics on the bad roads in Aba, it could exceed 100. Here are just a few

I'm glad there are aa lot of mature Igbo folks on this thread.

We need more pics like this from all regions to expose our leaders to their responsibilities.

Everything isn't about APC and PDP.

I lived in Aba for some years.....these pictures posted by the OP essentially captured the state of things in Aba...

Aba is a completely dilapidated town....it has be re-build from the scratch.

No light...No water (no single mini-water work in the whole of Aba )...life is tough in that city...very tough.

Una say ORJI Uzor Kalu = BAD GOVERNANCE.

MY ADVISE: Next time, please avoid any ]ORJI candidate.

@ least,it is beta dan bini

Patrik,
Tuale once again.... you dey always try to defend your ogac the Job no easy.... but stop posting pix its annoying..

I'm an Akwa Ibomite, but I'll this: Abia state, especially under Thoedore Orji is a TOTAL DISASTER and a disgrace to the SE. Now I know some of my Igbo brother will be pissed with me, but pls let's be honest. The whole state's one big mess with pothole-infested roads, especially that large latrine called Aba. The only good thing about the state is the Umuahia-Aba-PHC FG-owned road. Only God knows how Orji won a second term. That man is a disgrace to the PDP.

Very soon Gov Theoder Orji will be welcomed in d senate come 2015 to continue his good work.

Afam4eva: It's obvious the OP had an agenda when she brought out her cameras to take pictures. of course these pics are mostly like those of Aba but you can't travel to Aba and tell me that these are the best pictures you could take.

Haba! Someone made a report about BAD LEADERSHIP and you expected heavenly pictures.

owolabifunke14: tnx,people are busy calling me all sorts of names. I wonder hw I got it wrong.

Dont mind them, you have done a great job, just that the actions of some people have made everyone paranoid on nairaland. lol

aba roads

@Echem,you are talking shit ,Abia have had some changes ,poverty has be wiped clean from the land, kidnapping and Armed Robbery is a thing of the past, all roads are motorable, everyone feeds well, all the streets and homes have lights (guess there's an awesome gas turbine providing that), free education for all (did ABSU student protest recently), no hassle, no stress; all thanks to TA Orji, the most performing Governor in Nigeria.

Afam4eva:
I was against the former title of the thread which has been changed. I could care less about exposing the criminal in the name of Theo Orji.

No Afam, you initial post was not about the title of the thread, please let us be frank. Your comments were:

That comment was not about the title, it was about the OP taking those particular pictures.

@bolded. You seem to have made your judgement from the internet. Umuahia does not have bad roads and is probably one of the few cities in Nigeria where 99.9% of roads are tarred and free from pot holes. Thanks to its manageable size and population. The Enugu-PHC Road is even bad and hence deserves no commendation. We need videos of a ride within Aba area as that will give a clearer view of state of things than pictures which can be selective.

The present state of the environment of Abia is a reflection of the level of development of the people and the IQ of the governor of the state.

Tundeolaniyi: This type of road is everywhere. Even my area here in Ikeja is worse than this. But that is not to say that Orji should not wake up to his responsibilities.

Liar. There is no place in Ikeja that looks like this.

Where in Ikeja are u talking about?? Liar.

Let us pray.

Afam4eva:
Did you stay in one of those houses in the neighborhood where you took those pictures? If this thread is about exposing the ineptitude of Theoodore Orji then i'm in support but the thread title has to be in consonance with that. You can't tell me that those pictures represents your trip to Abia state?

That's what she said. The thread is about bad governance. I know its not all Igbo town that's like this. For instance, Enugu is far better than this.
Just try to see what the poster has in mind.

This is not news. Aba is a dump. Sometimes I feel like Aba is being punished by Abia politicians especially from Umuahia and the Bende area of that state. Umuahia is not bad but it is not as important as Aba. Theordore Orji main focus is his hometown of Umuahia. Most of his legacy projects are in Umuahia, not Aba.

Honestly, I'm actually concerned about Abia state 'cos it is a MAJOR COMMERCIAL HUB. But Orji has done that state a great disservice. Even small rural Ebonyi state has better roads than Abia.

stories that touch the heart,guess you are living in the future

Those pictures are even better, probably covering the areas visited by the guy who posted those pics.
I live in Aba and I know Aba very well. In the whole of Abia state, there is no city that can compare with Aba in Population, money generation and even in environmental degradation. Aba is a shadow of its self. There is no sign of governance in Aba. Drie along Aba PHC expressway, you will cry the inhabitants. There is no road in Aba. Take a drive along umungasi rd, brass street to faulks rd, drive around the famous Ariaria int'l mkt, drive along Alaoji rd, even the inner town areas (Okigwe rd, eziukwu, even milverton, take a tour and see things yourself. I was born and i grew here in Aba. Drive to cemetery mkt, ahia ohuru where we have enyimba int'l stadium.
The guy asking for video evidence, u dont really need it, d pics even speaks well of Aba.
Umuahia is been maintained with the money made in Aba.
I dont need to give u more pics, if u want to see things urself, take a trip and u will be shocked that there is no sign of governance in Aba. In the rainy season, Aba is a write off, especially the Ariaria environs.

This is just the true state of roads in Aba,tank God for the huge amount that flows in Aba,it wld have colasped,TA is just clueless and Old dat al the xposure he's geting from his overseas trips he can't replicate in Aba a town blessed with Bussiness.all the streets in Aba are now closed,very pathetic

Kudos to the poster for posting real pictures of the state of roads in Aba. @ that liar who posted a misleading picture of milverton road in Aba, I will get the real picture of milverton road and past here by tomorrow. It looks like what amateur carpenters and tailors were employed to rehabilitate.

My brother, my statement was drawn from my own experience within the state. Abia state tends to serve as a transit point for me during my trips from Taraba to PHC/Uyo, or trips trips from Uyo to PHC via Etim Ekpo. For the later, I finally opted to travel to PHC via Ikot Abasi, as I have absolutely no intentions of damaging the shock-absorbers of my car due to the Abia's bad roads and LG tax men exthort money from motorists for "radio tax".

Adelaide2: Yoruba girl went to Aba and snapped only the bad places? You know see good places abi? This is tribalism, I swear?

Make I post photos of bad places in Lagos, Ibadan and Ife?

Please post better pictures.
