GBTYO:


Just imagine how well developed Niger Delta States like Akwa Ibom would have been if their commonwealth was not shared among Aburos and their Ab0ki cousins.

Parasites!

I tell U most solemnly.
D money being funnelled to abokki is a complete waste cos na jus d politicians, emirs and imams that share it.
In spite of all d looting and hoarding of power during d military regimes yet they have d lowest developmental indices in d whole country.

rahazaqa:
Ogun state is more developed than all South East state. Fact.

Yeah right,. On Nairaland!

so where is cross river state??

mhizenugu:
No, never!!

Abeokuta to Lagos is 50mins -1hr drive. I can take u round the city for 30mins and take u back to lagos.

Am sure u will share testimony of the sporadic development to ur sibs.

mhizenugu:
Yeah,. On Nairaland!

Lol. Funny u but I have been the south east states and comparing each state development to ogun?? I Doubt if any can compete except anambra followed by Enugu.

Ogun state is evenly developing. Check out Agbara estate, sagamu, ijebu ode, ofada, ibafo/mowe, isheri, Akute, Abeokuta, e too much oo

Abagworo:
Development depends on the factors in focus. If it is about influx of people then Abuja, Rivers, Imo, Lagos and Ogun are ahead.

we are not talking about the state with the highest population of prostitutes in nigeria, we shall mention imo state when we get to that for now do not dare because we all know what imo state stands for.

below are the frontline nigerian states- lagos, rivers, ogun, anambra, kano, oyo

these state has something in common..strong and viable economy, good infrastructures, population (because people mostly migrate to these states for employment and better life sake).

Lool,. How nice, ah don't live in Lagos though!!

@op,kindly delete abia from the list, get ur facts right

ba7man:
I have never met anyone going to Akwa Ibom to look for a job. Only to look at roads.



There's little or no employment opportunity there.

**grins** You have never met anyone going to akwa-Ibom to look for job?. This is the picture of SUNDAY OMOTAYO attempting suicide in front of govt house AKWA-IBOM. He came all the way from SW to look for job. **LOLS**

Oh I see. Nah Enugu be ur base. Wen u come 2 lagos, holla me.

Opinedecandid:


You keep on mentioning 'one this', 'one that' and you conclude that Akwa Ibom does not deserve to be named amongst that fastest growing States in Nigeria. An Intl. Staduim of no mean repute is what you refer to as 'football feild'? The Nest of Champions that was picked amongst the best three stadia in the world in 2014?
Before I favour your prejudiced position with a reply, I think you should answer some obvious questions which should inform an informed position. Do you live in Akwa Ibom? Have you even visited the State in the last 3 years?
If your answer to any of those two questions is yes, then you deserve to be asked the third, who paid you to misinform the ignorant?
Now answer this rhetorical questions: are you aware that Akwa Ibom has @least 3 Public/private hospitality Facilities: 5 star hotel in Uruan, 4 star hotel in Ikot Ekpene and a 3 star hotel behind the cinema you mentioned?
Heard of Akwa Ibom International Airport with Maintenance, Repairs and Overall facilities?
Are you aware that Akwa Ibom has a Specialist Hospital, A Teaching hospital and Several General hospitals? Are you even aware that Akwa Ibom doctors are well motivated with brand new cars and other incentives like special allowances? Are you aware too that medical students, law students are treated to special allowances, like Law school fees, laptops, etc in addition to the general Scholarships and bursaries? Are you even aware that Akwa Ibom is the first state in Nigeria that has implemented the Judiciary Workers special Salary scale? Do u know of the employment of staff into the state services? Have you heard of the 13 month salary paid to civil servant every December, popularly called, 'Akpabiomba'?
Back to infrastructures and job opportunities, my friend do you know that Akwa Ibom has more than 10 Tertiary Institutions, including the recently approved Ritman University, and that about 8of those 10 are Public Institutions?
Have you heard of the deep sea port, heard of gas processing plant, heard of independent power plant, different training and skill acquisition centres spread across different nooks of the State, some public, some private?
Do you know of the facilities the Tropicana entertainment centre is built to house: the shopping mall and others?
Do you know of the cassava, sugar and other processing mills under construction in the state?
Are you aware that contrary to.the picture you are trying to paint, the development in Akwa Ibom State does not just start and end in Uyo, the state capital, but spread across over 70% of the LGAs in the State: Ikot Ekpene, Oron, Eket, Abak, Ikot Abasi, Essien Udim, Itu, Ikono, Uruan, Ibesikpo, Ibeno, Nsit Atai, Etinan, Nsit Ubuim and others?
Let me pause here for now.
Read, learn, admit

Errrrm...You missed out on Use Ikot Amama

kettykin:
Enugu might be older than most states presently but when compared with its age mates, kaduna, ibadan, Benin,Enugu seems to be doing better than any of them.

Enugu "age mate" wt IBADAN? Pls do u mind elaborating ?

Chino you are so pained of Imo States development that you have dedicated your miserable life to campaign against your brother State. The truth remains that the rate of migration to Imo State recently is one of the highest in Nigeria.

kettykin:


Akwa Ibom is the fastest growing and developing state followed by Enugu

. enugu and imo state carry last for south east..enugu is not even growing..give me a reason I should leave Lagos for enugu.

Oguun state take d crown


Industries for dat state just dey pile up

Zuria:
I think Gombe should be on that list

Gaskiya Gwamnan gombe is trying.

Tobilastik:


mehn. ..rule that shit out....ve always hear pple talk about Amosun that he's transforming Ogun state..

I was disappointed when I got to Ogun state last week.... come nd see bad roads, garbage everywhere ....their light worst ehhn! nd workers dy complain

so how's that a developing state?

My sister saw well after many years in the capital town of Abeokuta last week; it was amazing. Despite this wonder, Ogun state is still one of the fastest growing states in Nigeria. Many companies/industries are being located there and also new universities.

all I see is transformation

Did i c u include Abia ? Its disputable. Maybe u haven't been 2 de state since last 8yrs. It sucks

who is chino? we are talking about fastest developing states and not fastest prostitution developing states. you are silly and a pathetic fellow for mentioning imo state on this thread. its an insult to mention imo state when we are talking of economically viable states. if i may ask you what do you think that is taking people to imo state? are there jobs in imo state? has any new company opened in imo state apart from one or two moribund ones? the op did not mention imo state on his list because he is a realistic person. for your information there is no development in imo state unless you are talking of 'prostitution development' i had agree with you. so nobody is pained nor envious because there is nothing there to envy about.

holubig:
Ogun state deserve it
Apart from meaningful development in term of infrastructures

Most of the Universities are not viable in the first place and only got there because there was no longer affordable land in Lagos

Oh I see. Nah Enugu be ur base. Wen u come 2 lagos, holla me.

cheers!

Sure, have a great dae ahead.. Wink!!

aresa:



What is the meaning of fastest development?

Do you fast develop with only 3 completed projects apart from a few roads in 8 yeas and the largest budget in Nigeria? What's so fast here?

No new schools, no new hospitals, no health centers, no skills centers to train skilled artisans, no water works, no respectable public institutions and public buildings, no grand or futuristic vision, ideas or projects, all the man delivered remains the same few roads and 3 completed projects which are, 1 football field, 1 cinema that he's subsidizing and 1 library. Economic wise, the place is economic wasteland..

Prove me wrong if you can...

As for enugu? What's fastest developing there? When was the last time anything was commissioned or significant investment was made in that state? Do you mind educating us?

When you people talk about development, please state the yardsticks and criteria and don't just throw meaningless words with no relevance to realities on the ground...

.......


am not from Enugu, but i wish to let you know that Enugu as a state has a good road network... it will also interest you to know that Enugu state Has one of the biggest pineapple farm in Nig.... in fact started exporting pineapple last year... and rice is on the move... that's eco development imagine the job opportunities... power supply is good also

queensmith:
developing as how?

Why do people assume newly paved roads = development. Are you going to eat the road ni?

Yes d roads nid 2 be good 4 u 2 be able 2 transport on it and goan look 4 wat 2 eat

kettykin:


Akwa Ibom is the fastest growing and developing state followed by Enugu

I kinda disagree with you on Enugu being one of the fastest developing States, itz growth nd development rate can b liken to the movement of a snail

kettykin:
Enugu might be older than most states presently but when compared with its age mates, kaduna, ibadan, Benin,Enugu seems to be doing better than any of them.

Apart from the development in Enugu city, where else is the development taking place?

In Anambra, development is touching the nooks and crannies of the state and it also has three major cities ie Nnewi, Awka and Onitsha.
