This is a statement of fact. Abia state is more or less no longer existing. Their people are not helping matters.

rdokoye:


The most reliable identifier is education, seeing as there's a direct correlation between education and poverty. Thus, if Igbo states were faltering, as you see it, then you'd see Igbo states performing worse education wise.

The mere fact that Igbo states perform the best. With all five states finishing in the top 10, with 4 of them typically finishing in the top 6, Says otherwise.

Unless we're to believe that Nigeria is the only place on earth were illeducated people do better than educated people.

Just accept the fact that Nigeria is a dreadfully corrupt country. And stop speaking I'll of us born outside of Nigera. We're the lucky ones. Do we not send biliions back to Igboland each year?

B2mario:
Oga, we are talking of Nigerian standard here. Where are you from?

Aba used to be Lagos of the East. If an Igbo man came back straight from USA or a Europe, he could relocate his family to Aba and raise his kids there. 30 years later Aba is an uninhabitable filth. Most big Igbo men lived in the city. Foreigners doing business lived in the city. Today it’s a ghost slum unfit for human habitation

Fulani’s and Yorubas are not the reason why a big city like Aba doesnt even have a single mile stretch of good road.

The governor has his media propagandists post him with wheelbarrow cement mixers and call it working on roads.

I weep so bad for our Igbo people. The foremost industrial Igbo Town is a shame on all Igbo people today. All so TA Orji and his son can keep the state hostage as their fiefdom.

If Aba doesn’t return to what is used to be and even better Igbo people are going to struggle in the south east. Hotels in Owerri and Enugu are fine and all but don’t an economic juggernaut make. The productivity of Aba of the 1970’s and 1980’s makes a productive juggernaut

sage:
What breaks my heart about Igbo land is that Igbo people have the most power of diaspora in Nigeria and can harness that to create a booming region.

It happened in Aba in the 70’s and 80’s. Nice city that Igbos from all around the world and foreigners could move to and live just like Lagos and Abuja today. All that is required is to create basic roads and drainages with side walks and basic sanitation so the city resembles a place human beings live in and not animals.

To repair every current road in Aba would take less than 100 miles of road repair. Any serious government can do it in a year.

Even a joke of a government that only repairs 25 miles of road a year in Aba would have the city with a better road network than Uyo or PH or Lagos or even Abuja.

If Ikpeazu handled only 18 miles of road a year since he was inaugurated Aba’s road networks would be the best in Nigeria in his 5 years. But the level of wickedness in his heart and that of his puppet masters is so much that they rather pay an army of propagandists to spend all their time on forums like this and social media pretending that the reality of Aba and Abia state isn’t what it is. They promote photo ops of the governor around manual cement mixers with wheel barrow and expect people to applaud it.

How can one be this wicked to his own home city killing its enormous potential and his own ethnic group? Yet Igbo people here are fooled into thinking Fulani’s, Buhari, Abba Kayiri, Yoruba’s etc are our problem.

Wake the hell up my people!!!

@bolded~ GBAM!

My greatest pain is that some Abians think more about defending the sorry state of Aba than protesting until the city is brought to what it should be.

Mind you, Aba was once the greatest, most industrialized, and most developed city in Eastern Nigeria (I.e: Including the Present-day Cross River, Rivers, and Akwa Ibom). Today, you cannot point one single city in the entire old Eastern region that Aba is still better than! Take a look at Abakaliki video of yesterday, you will wonder why only Aba was the city in the entire region that failed to move forward all these decades!

Yet, instead of my people to scream at this unacceptable situation, they post hazy, photoshopped 15 years old pictures of Aba and try to pass it as Aba of today. it's so SHAMEFUL!

Abia is full of hungry teeming young graduates whose only aspiration in life is to serve as media propaganda machine for T. A orji, OUK, Ikpeazu and their other minnows. You see them all over social media defending these failures.

They are even on this thread alone.


Abia is a disgrace to Ndiigbo as a whole. A big disappointment and let down. It's about time we started telling them the bloody truth. Abia as things stands are at the rock bottom of infrastructural development rankings in South East, and they are at the bottom by a distant miles.

What an embarrassment.

Your Afonja mentality to divide ndi-igbo in this group will not work. Ara na agba gi, ya agbakwala gi maka Abia steeti. Anuofia

Stop all these nonsense! After how many years, you guys still hold this mentality. We cannot be saved if we cannot listen.

This is the height of indiscipline!

pazienza:


See what you are presenting as projects. Ifele ana emekwa unu. Tufia!

One flyover in 8yrs yet to be completed.

Abia problem is not bad leaders, Abia problem is cursed youths.
Because every other Igbo states have at a time had to deal with bad leaders, but they threw them out thanks to proactive and intelligent youths.

The typical Abian is deluded. You hear them claim to be wise, calling themselves "nwa Aba" like they are street savvy, when they have nothing upstairs.
Just three men pocked the whole Abia since 1999 and Ikuku ojoo Abia is warming up to come and start where his father stopped.
You type would still come here to praise him, after receiving peanuts.

It's about time Ndiigbo started telling Abians the truth.
It's not the madman that is ashamed, it's the relations.

pazienza:


See them.
Failed youths of Abia who are feeding off the crumbs of T.A orji, Ikuku ojoo Abia and Ikpeazu.
Youths that have sold their soul to devil for monthly stipends. I have many of you in my facebook timeline and I usually shake my head in disgust.

Continue, the shame will be yours. Soon Abia will be synonymous with shame. Ebonyi already replaced you lots in the rankings in the East.

Umueme:


Nwanna if you are not in Aba keep off my mention pls. Aba has taken a turn for good under Ikpeazu. It was cos of Ikpeazu that made in Aba started making waves again. If Orji Uzor and T.A Orji did half what Ikpeazu has done, we would have been far better.



Let me let you in on a secret. Many non indigenes of Aba are not happy that an Ngwa man is currently the governor. (Sadly the same way many ndi-Igbo despise Buhari). They are hell bent on potraying Abia in bad light because Ikpeazu is an Ngwa man. I bet you that if a non Ngwa man wins the next election, the truth about Abia will come out........

B2mario:


Thunder fire you, what do you mean by small peanuts they are giving me? Is like I'm through with you, imposter. I just posted the current and real pictures of Aba, and you are there vomiting nonsense.

pazienza:


The same cheap Ngwa/Ohuhu folly you use to promote and defend mediocrity.

Okezie Ikpeazu became governor same day as Umahi, but the difference is clear.

Okezie Ikpeazu and his supporters are still all in bed with T. A orji their benefactor. Yet any criticism about mediocrity of Ikpeazu, his army of media attack dogs would resort to the old tested and trusted Ngwa/Ohuhu dichotomy in Abia.
Ndi na enweghi amamihe. Soon Ndiigbo will start denouncing Abia and her disgrace.

eduj:

seems some of you guys just want aba to be your whipping boy,.How many of you critics actually live or have a business in aba since the last 16 years?
be objective in your criticism, the present governor of abia hasnt been in power for 8 years talk less of building a flyover for so long-ohakim started a flyover, Rocha's completed it during the last year of his tenure but motor no fit use am,we no go see that one.
while this government is slow, he delivers quality projects.it would take quite a while to rebuild Aba roads after the two Orji ''s abandoned it-but road by road, the City is getting better.
for those shouting about how dead aba is, please mention the SE city with more multinationals than aba? Mention the SE city that has managed to displace Lagos in attracting fdi in the last 5 years?
if we are so gone, why is shell spending millions to expand its gas pipelines in the city when no other SE city has such an option?
men the least you can do is to no insult us-we are entitled to our opinion as you're to yours

sage:




We are finished as a people. Look at what the wicked hearted people post as projects we are supposed to applaud. If you go on the Facebook page of Abia Online, the people who are the propaganda arm of Abia state hostage takers, they post wheel barrows and cement mixers as projects to be lauded.

Who does this extreme heartlessness and wickedness help? Are you negatively affecting Fulani’s or Yorubas? What does one gain by injuring Igbo people and his own people like this?

Look at what they allocate money to as fighting COVID 19. This is what they are using Abia State money to do

sage:
Look at where investing in propaganda instead of infrastructure by the Orji’s, Ikuku and Ikpeazu has left the most developed city in the old Eastern region.

They have destroyed a once thriving city. Their short sighted wickedness is destroying Igbo people and Igbo people are slowly going into irrelevance.

Some Igbo people seem to assume that we would always be relevant but due to the actions of people like the criminals running Abia state, people who were raised in Aba are not raising their kids there. They move to Lagos and Abuja and their children struggle to speak our language. The region is comatose economically as its industrial heartland has been destroyed by heartless leadership.

Look at IGR today. We laugh at the North but Abia and Imo are competing with Jigawa, Zamfara etc in IGR while we beat our chests and talk about Yorubas, Fulani’s etc

sage:


Dude wake up. All the roads in Aba can be fixed in 1 year. All of them.

If Ikpeazu fixes only 25 miles per year since he came in , Aba’s Road network would rival Abuja’s

Stop endorsing trash man. It’s our people that are getting damaged by this. No reasonable person would see the filth that Aba is in 2020 and invest a penny there.

Propaganda is worthless and won’t fix this at all. We have millions in the diaspora and yet we can’t harness it. They look at the condition of the southeast and instead invest in Lagos and Abuja. Stop endorsing mediocrity and the outright rip off of our people please!!!

The southeast is lagging behind IGR because our leaders are not exploring the areas their strength is (PROPERTY TAXES) Yes you heard me right if our governors will have the political will to tax the properties in our villages yes village not only the cities believe me our IGR will increase 300/400%. We have all the thousand even millions of houses in our villages that have no monetary value other than show off.
