List of 10 States which Attracted Foreign Direct Investments in 2022: 1. Lagos - $3.61 billion 2. Abuja (FCT) - $1.63billion 3. Akwa Ibom - $42.52 million  4. Anambra - $36.97 million 5. Oyo - $3 million 6. Kogi - $2 million 7. Katsina - $700,000 8. Ekiti -$510,000 9. Ondo - $200,000 10. Plateau - $40,000 https://www.thecable.ng/rivers-kano-abia-27-states-attracted-zero-foreign-investments-in-2022/amp --- More interesting for me is, 1/3 of the FDI in Akwa Ibom State are in my LGA as I confirmed recently. More are welcomed. Invest in Akwa Ibom, please. Peace, security, and infrastructure (and soon enough, electricity) are guaranteed. |

DissTroy:so you're saying there's no electricity in Akwa Ibom? |
| Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by DissTroy(m): 11:19pm On Apr 05, 2023 |
ShaqFu: Our electricity supply is more than most states. My own LGA used to get 24/7 electricity supply from 2006 to 2020 (if you doubt, find out which LGA is reputed for this and there's a specific reason we are the exception) until January 2021 when it dropped to between 14 to 16 hours daily. I meant, electricity would be guaranteed soon. We already produce 170MW from Ibom Power Company but have to feed it to the national grid, getting piecemeals of ~55MW. But with states now given right to distribute electricity and us increasing our generating capacity to 768 MW in 2022, electricity would be guaranteed. Constant electricity. |

ChatGPT's OpenAI CEO would be in Lagos soon. That'd be investment soon. That'd surely be investment which would boost the tech ecosystem in Lagos like what Mark Zuckerburg and the Facebook team's visit to Lagos in 2016 did for the tech industry. We want some of that too in Akwa Ibom. You know, specific visits. CAF came too. But I'd have to admit Lagos is currently most primed for such massive tech investments from the Lagos Angels Network (LAN) juggernaut which practically has been driving tech in Nigeria and West Africa to more. Plus the recent $618 million AfDB tech startup fund for Nigerian (tech) startups signed 3 weeks ago. Lagos is most primed for it and I'm hoping the rest of us tinker with our plans to attract more of such investments. The state government here is proposing Google or Microsoft Hub with tax breaks and dedicated power supply. I hope it works. 2 Likes 1 Share |

DissTroy: Akwa Ibom is doing well and I am really happy for the State. Hope incoming Governor won't slack, rather keep up with the trend. |
| Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by DissTroy(m): 11:52pm On Apr 05, 2023 |
OasisX:He would see hell like the incumbent sees whenever he 'slacks'. I hope he focuses more on investments 'cause the last three focused more, understandably, on infrastructure (Attah and Akpabio particularly). He's already said it'd be private-sector-driven as a private investor himself so let's see. |

DissTroy: I don't know much about security situation in the state, but I will be glad if the state can facilitate security architecture like RRS being financed with dedicated trust fund. It works in Lagos, thus I strongly believe it can work in Akwa Ibom too. You can only draw Investors when they are confident their businesses, lives and properties are secured. |

DissTroy:No Rivers…. Insecurity and uncertainty? |
| Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by DissTroy(m): 12:32am On Apr 06, 2023 |
OasisX: The security is guaranteed, trust me. There's a reason Akwa Ibom has been topping the list of safest states in Nigeria since Akpabio's time. Security is one of the areas even opposition parties begrudgingly praise Gov. Udom for. He combines funding the Police, Navy, and Army. Augmented with paid neighbourhood watchpersons who are lightly armed at night. But I agree that the RRS is something to emulate even though I'm skeptical about what a state policing apparatus under full control of a governor would seem like. I don't trust governors yet with that much control. ---- - Still the only Niger-Delta state militancy isn't condoned. - Barely any kidnappings and any of such is nipped right away. - Cultism officially banned and suspected or named ones expunged from the state executive council or with truncated careers. - Police brutality is very low too. - There's a reason why expatriates (white especially) are more of a common sight on the streets of Akwa Ibom (Uyo, Eket, Ibeno, and Ikot Abasi have a very sizeable white population) than in any other place, asides Lagos and Abuja - security and peace. Here's to top in all: My LGA is the safest in the state which would make it the safest LGA in Nigeria, I dare add. Negligible violent crimes. Friendliest host community. Yes, I'm pitching the last part (factual though) so you and yours can come invest. obainojazz: Kizz Daniel - "Cough". |

This is the post the dumb thing who is ashamed of his state and can't brag about it but wants to slight Akwa Ibom posted about. https://www.icirnigeria.org/report-with-46-casualties-akwa-ibom-most-violent-state-in-niger-delta/ It's ONE boundary area with Cross River and it is reported that the boundary clashes happened in Ikot Offiong, CROSS RIVER STATE close to Akwa Ibom. And it was nipped in the bud. One case 5 years ago. Just like one CROSS RIVER community is having a boundary clash with Benue currently. No, boy, we have left you behind. Continue championing kidnappers, militants, gang culture and other vices. Your roads are shit despite the revenue. Your streets are unsafe. People get decapitated daily in your street corners. Your FDI is negligible. UGM are decimating people daily on your streets but you think Akwa Ibom is to be compared to you? We don't measure our pace with you folks who praisesing thuggish governors who steal your states blind while your infrastructure falls apart unattended to. The only places we are interested in competing with are Lagos and Abuja which I mentioned. You don't matter. Not in the league of progressive states.  |

Well, a PPP like the brewery). - Still has the best stadium in the country. (Certified by CAF and FIFA.) -- Your list: - Gangs - Cult groups - Kidnappings - Unknown Gun Men - Internet fraudsters headquarters - Bad roads - Poor infrastructure - Uncouth leaders - High crime rates - Where whites go to get missing - Headquarters of election violence year in and out - I dare you to go out on Monday! So, yes, my hype is factual. You have a state of origin? Brag about it. No? Too ashamed? I thought so too. No wonder you claim Lagos is a no man's land because where you come from is shit. But it's a good thing the owners of Lagos are calling out the bluff of those of you who make those nonsense claims. You are from a shithole, low on just about every developmental indices and washed about chunk by chunk by every rainfall while you are busying trying to erase the ancestry of the Lagos indigenes. 1 Like |

"THE STORY OF OYOTUNJI: A YORUBA (West Africa) KINGDOM IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 🇺🇲 Oyotunji African Village is a village located near Sheldon, Beaufort County, South Carolina that was founded by Oba Efuntola Oseijeman Adelabu Adefunmi I in 1970. Oyotunji village is named after the Oyo empire, a pre-colonial Yoruba kingdom lasting from the 1300s until the early 1800s in what is now southwestern Nigeria. The name literally means “O̩yo̩ returns” or “O̩yo̩ rises again” or “O̩yo̩ resurrects” referring to the African Yoruba kingdom of Oyo, now rising in a new form near the South Carolina seashore. Oyotunji village covers 27 acres (11 ha) and has a Yoruba temple which was moved from Harlem, New York to its present location in 1960. It was originally intended to be located in Savannah, Georgia, but was eventually settled into its current position after disputes with neighbors in Sheldon proper, over drumming and tourists. HOW OBA EFUNTOLA ADEFUNMI I FOUNDED OYOTUNJI During the slave trade era, many Africans were taken as slaves abroad. While going, some left with their culture and tradition which they continued within the foreign land where they found themselves. They continued with the culture and tradition of their fathers so as to maintain their identity. The Yorubas in slavery are among the Africans that maintained their culture in the strange land and it was handed down to their children from generation to generation. Many of their children, after the abolition of the slave trade, have married children of their former masters thus having children of mixed blood, that notwithstanding, they still carry on with their African culture in the foreign land since most of them cannot trace their root back to Africa. The Yoruba culture has been one of the prominent and most celebrated one throughout the world till date. In the faraway United States of America, there is a Yoruba community named O̩yo̩tunji African Village. It is located near Sheldon, Beaufort County, South Carolina. O̩yo̩tunji is regarded as North America’s oldest authentic African village. It was founded in 1970 and is the first intentional community in North America, based on the culture of the Yoruba and Benin tribes of West Africa. It has survived 51years of sustaining the Yoruba traditional sociology and values in the diaspora. The village is named after the O̩yo̩ Empire, and the name literally means “O̩yo̩ returns” or “O̩yo̩ rises again” or “O̩yo̩ resurrects”. The village occupies 27 acres of land. O̩yo̩tunji was founded by His Royal Highness O̩ba (King) Waja, O̩funto̩la Oseijeman Adelabu Adefunmi I. Born Walter Eugene King on October 5, 1928, Oba O̩funto̩la Oseijeman Adelabu Adefunmi I, a Detroit native, began studying Afro-Haitian and ancient Egyptian traditions as a teenager. He was further influenced by his contact with the Katherine Dunham Dance Troupe in New York City at the age of 20, an African American modern dance troupe that drew from many cultures within the African Diaspora. August 26, 1959, O̩ba Waja became the first African born in America to become fully initiated into the Oris̩a-Vodoo African priesthood by African Cubans in Matanzas, Cuba, and became known as Efuntola Osejiman Adefunmi. After his return to the United States, he formed the Yoruba Temple in Harlem in 1960. The temple, committed to preserving African traditions within an American context, was the cultural and religious forerunner of Oyotunji Village. He later traveled to Haiti where he discovered more about the Yoruba culture. Armed with a new understanding of the African culture, he found the order of Damballah Hwedo, Ancestor Priests in Harlem New York. This marked the beginning of the spread of the Yoruba religion and culture among African-Americans. He later founded the Sàngó Temple in New York and incorporated the African Theological Arch Ministry in 1960. The Sàngó Temple was relocated and renamed the Yoruba Temple. With the rise of black nationalism in the 1960s, King began to envision the construction of a separate African American nation that would institutionalize and commemorate ancestral traditions. In June of 1970, he fulfilled this vision with the creation of Oyotunji African Village. It was during this time that he also established a new lineage of the priesthood, Orisha Vodoo, to emphasize the tradition’s African roots. Today, over 300 priests have been initiated into this lineage and the African Theological Archministry, founded by Oba O̩funto̩la Oseijeman Adelabu Adefunmi I in 1966, now serves as the umbrella organization for the Village. To further his knowledge of Yoruba culture, he traveled to Abeokuta in Nigeria in 1972 where he was initiated into the Ifa priesthood by the Oluwo of Ije̩un at Abeokuta, Ogun state, in August of 1972. He was later proclaimed Alase̩ (Oba-King) of the Yoruba of North America at O̩yo̩tunji Village in 1972. In its early years, Oyotunji Village was home to as many as two hundred people. Today, its residential community consists of few African American families, governed by an oba (king) and the community’s appointed council. Each family is committed to the teachings of the Yoruba tradition, which include a religious understanding of the world as comprised primarily of the “energies” of the Supreme Being Olodumare, the orisha deities, and the ancestral spirits. This religious world is maintained spiritually through rituals, chants, music, sacrifice, and annual ceremonies. Oba Efuntola Osejiman Adefunmi passed away on Thursday, February 10th, 2005 at O̩yo̩tunji African Village in Beaufort County, South Carolina. Since Adefunmi’s death in 2005, the village has been led by his son, the fourteenth of twenty-two children of Oba Efuntola Osejiman Adefunmi, till date. The O̩ba title is referred to as “O̩lo̩yotunji” of O̩yo̩tunji." — FB 1 Like 1 Share |
