Abagworo: What I've always said is that all Aba needs is good roads and "beautification" to prosper. Aba is actually the 2nd richest city in Nigeria after Port Harcourt before Lagos which comes 3rd and that is without functional Government presence.

The 1st private power plant has long been completed in Aba and the usual Igbo politics of businessman vs intellect is keeping it under lock. Igbos are busy looking for a fault in Okorocha while Emeka Offor is holding down geometric power limited. For the records geometric power was permitted and construction took off during Obasanjo tenure as the 1st private power generation company in addition to 2 owned by Rivers State Government.

Truth in all you said concerning Aba, Geometric and Emeka Offor. Emeka is selfish and callous, the worst part is that Igbo leaders left Prof Barth alone to fight the battle which is a difficult one going by his closeness to Namadi Sambo, I love Rochas so much and he is doing well going by what I see when I went to Imo, My annoyance with Rochas is the way he left APGA that gave him mandate saying that its a regional party, Does it mean that he is not aware that APGA was a regional party, Rochas also tried to hijack the party that gave him the mandate to APC during their merger. Sorry to derail cos this Aba thread.

ISpiksDaTroof: One million pairs a day is obviously a gross exaggeration...but then again if the amount is not inflated then the news is not coming from the South East.

You are saying its exaggeration, do you know how that the manufacturers of this shoes are in thousands? If you wanna know just go to bakassi at Aba to verify Mazi Sam's claim. For we Aba boys this is not news because we know about it for ages and the shoes they produce are of standard quality and design.

Your fathers fought to keep nigeria one, why are u now ranting like a coward?

Ohamadike42: Saying that Igbos are envious of yoruba is fallacy and uncalled for, why should we be envious of yorba? What did u achieve that Igbos has not achieved? I think its the other way round.

Igbo ga adi ya gazie.
