Hi all the Abia People on Nairaland lets get to know ourselves here.
First let me start with me,myself and i
I am Richard, a full blooded Abian from Igbere in Bende LGA. Both my parents are from Igbere.
I currently reside in Umuahia,capital of Abia State.
My Email is richieq2005@yahoo.com and phone 08036616829.
Let me get to know yours

Are there no Abians on Nairaland

Are u scared of flying solo?
Ok,am from Abia though i married outside Abia.where do u stay in Umuahia?lolz

No i'm not.I just wonder why all the Abians who constantly visit this site will fail to identify with their people.
Well me i stay at Ehimiri Housing Estate.What of u?Are u in Abia State? [quote][/quote]

. . . .ah,not forgetting "Ramat hosp".brb

Ify, are you serious?
the owner of Damgrate or whatever it is called is from my village. . . . which is about 20 - 30minutes away
if you do not mind me asking, whats ur maiden name?

Omo ibo u know i wont disclose that.lolz
@Topic,Rich u don run?Hows the security like now @Umuahia?Nostalgia,am remembering "ofe akpuru akpu" egusi now

Rich don ben johnson

@ Omo ibo
i never run.i full ground berekete.i didnt ask u to call or mail me.All i want u to do is identify yourself on this tread if u are from Abia and tell us which part of Abia u are from.Who knows u may meet ur long lust brother,sister,uncle,aunty or even girlfriend on the tread!!!
@ Ify
it's a pleasure to know that u are frm Abia.Ehimiri is far frm Hotel Royal Damgret.The hotel is close to Gov. House.It is 1 of the best in Umuahia.

I'm from Umuopara. Once you reach the tower for express you don almost reach my villa be that

Richy how far?which places dey happen now for Um. ?Bikes still ply at night(after 8 pm)?Old boi,e get one place wey we go eat snail for amawaya.lol roads nko?better now and how is Orji doing in Um. generally?do u think hes better than OUK?
@Omo ibo,so u from Umuopara? have u ever attended "ekpe" if yes year(s) pls?
I know there are many ppl from Um. here,maybe they are just shy to identify.lolz

up until 10yrs ago  or so my dad made it a duty to carry everyone back home for ekpe.
i remember my dad used to tie his wrapper and carry his own rifle.
so yes, a gbaram ekpe.

Omo ibo then its real possible i know u
I so loff Ekpe,i attend almost the whole villages ekpe,lolz,U know "Ohuhu" peeps ekpe sometimes fall in btw feb./end of Jan. . .i always travel down for the ekpes.
"M birambia laa ooo" i don't go and am not an indigene per say.
Umuopara road used to be very bad.From dat una signpost enter inside,jeez,so rough and bumpy . . .was there last Dec/Jan 07.Last time i went,i waited for my pals at Tower jare,was preggie then and dont want to risk driving through that una road.lolz
Do u know the late coach?From Umopara too.
@Reach,am still waiting for ans.

You seem to know alot alot about Umuopara.
Describing the road as 'very bad' is an understatement. The road was disgusting.

The roads are alot better now. Thanks to one of the former state Governor who repaired the roads cos he wanted our vote.

Ohuhu no far from my villa na. I remember a few of my friends used to go there to look for babes.

I don't know coach personally but my Dad does.

Ify, are you in anyways related to one of the 'High chiefs' who died a few years ago? I can't quite remember his name nor his village
Since you know wan yan where you from then i'm gonne be playing the guessing game.

@ Ify
I can say the present Governor is trying for the Umuahia pple esp pple from Ibeku.This could be because of the fact that he is from Ibeku.He has done most of their roads and is empowering most of the Ibeku pple by giving them juicy contracts.
He has finally banned the use of okada in Umuahia and Aba.U need to see pple "legging" to work in the morning.I can say he is doing his best to curb the high rate of kidnaping going on in the state.There is no night life now in Umuahia.By the time it gets to 6pm the streets are deserted.The Governor has done well in the area of providing street lights,promoting staffs in the civil service to the next grade level,providing pipe borne water and providing equipments for security agencies like Vehicle,communication equipments etc.

@Reach,No nightlife?,has there really been Nightlife in Umuahia?i dont think so
Well,i heard abt the kidnapp of "Nwakaibes wife" and was like wao ! .Its good hes banned bikes.On the other hand,any job placements or plans for those young men that were in the trade(okada men)
I believe,hes also done something abt the touts at "isi gate,Tower and Michela Opara Square"?These so called touts rob ppl freely on those routes.
@Omo ibo,i see.am related to one of the "Okoro's " from Ohuhu.lolz
Late coachs son,Ogbonna is my pal.(hes married to a ghanaian)Ohuhu has got real cool babes

Ify can u tell us which part of Abia u are from?U've been avoiding this.

Reach am a complete package from Abia,its quite sad marriage took me out of Abia.
Igbere is close to Uzuakoli right?u guys enjoyed during OUK governace.lolz

Ify u are from Uzuakoli.Thats good to know.Its just unfortunate that u married outside Abia.Well once Abia always Abia.

i am from igbere bende local government. my email is ederdinho99@gmail.c is my phone no. but presently am in ibadan.
