[s] B2mario:[/s] Useless dirty Aba miscreant. Abia state is a dead state. There's nothing you can do about it except to elect a sane governors back to back for at least the next 50yrs. Then there maybe hope, if not your Abia state is already gone. ![]() |

leicestercamper: @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! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJrSa1B37Kc&feature=emb_title 2 Likes 1 Share |

36km road which joins Umuikea to Obikabia junction completed. The road leads from Owerrinta (in Isialangwa south L.G.A) to Obikabia junction ( Obingwa L.G.A.) Drivers from IMO can ply the road from Owerrinta to Ikot-ekpene road without entering/passing through Aba. 6 Likes

If we don’t consolidate on any advantage now! We will lose out forever. Look at the new set of billionaires or millionaires from igbo land, no real sector domination. Nothing! Nothing is working, don’t you get! Stop relying on those fancy buildings! They are not our development.

OreMI22: 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.

We have capacity and capabilities. We should stop wasting time. There is a vacant position in the economic space of Africa and the world that a success hungry set of people can exploit. It just needs bringing resources and concrete plan. I bet you, in the next couple of years, Abuja will look like a wasteland. If we can stop all these nonsense praise and worship of our leaders, we won’t move so fast. I have said before and will reiterate it again, the resources in the hands of our government is not capable of developing the region. Whether you love to see it or not, we can only maintain the status quo or degenerate to something worse if we keep sustaining the economy with these peanuts. We gather more resources and people to push for development and control of the economic space in Nigeria and Africa at best. No one is seeing open space at the top except a very few set of people. I can see that we can get there. We can reduce poverty, improve health care, gather talent, export our products if we only work to achieve these things. We can really change the narrative! 2 Likes |

Umueme: 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. 6 Likes |

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........ 1 Like

You all saying come to Aba to withness development; 1. Are you saying Okezie Ikpeazu has performed more than any of the governors in the east? 2. Do you realize Abia state allocation is more than that of Ebonyi state? 3. How would you rate Okezie and Umahi? 3. Are you insinuating that you're comfortable with the status quo in the state? 4. Can you make us see reasons you praise Ikpeazu the way you do? 5. Do you realize Aba used to be among the most beautiful cities in the east, if not the most beautiful? If you agree then, can you mention any city in the east Aba is presently better than? If you can't sincerely answer any of these questions, I think it will be safe to conclude that you guys are the ones cheering bad governance in the state and therefore, enemies of the Igbo people.

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 2 Likes

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 2 Likes |

Umueme: Don't make the non-performance of Okezie an Ngwa issue. It is not! Ngwa people are generally highly efficient and smart. I am not an Abia man, but i can tell you that the neglect of Aba will adversely prevent Aba state from developing. Infact, the reason i had supported Okezie was because i hoped that a Ngwa man as Governor of Abia state will stop the decline and rot of Aba. Aba was and potentially is still the greatest city in southern Nigeria if it's potentials were harnessed. Due to it's industries and generally more decent housing neighborhoods, many people in the 1980 and 1990s stayed in ba while they worked in PH. Today, the reverse is the case. Let us openly get the leaders of Aba state to understand that the greatness of Abia is in ABA and not in Umuahia! I am not saying Umuahia isn't important. But in terms of what will help Abia become a mega force in Nigeria, it is Aba and NOT umuahia. Sadly, Abia state has more than concentrated the few development EXCLUSIVELY in Umuahia and abandoned ABA. Thus, Abia became the worst state in Nigeria because you cannot leave your entire house dilapidated and then fix a small room inside the house. Then you wonder why people think the entire house is dilapidated and should be knocked down. 3 Likes |

phoenix911: I’ve always wondered why Anambra, Abia, Imo and Enugu don’t leverage properly on the huge real-estate and property boom in their states to increase their IGR! I reckon Anambra alone can raise an extra 1 billion naira a month if they think outside the box like you’ve suggested and enumerate all properties (in the villas, towns and cities) for the purposes of property tax! Also, i doubt they’re collecting the right amount of tenement rates as well. No one is suggesting Anambrans should be overtaxed....just collect the barest minimum, and plug all the loopholes through which a large percentage of tax due is pocketed by private individuals! I think this is where Enugu has improved over other south-east states. Enugu seems to have improved on its systems and procedures for collecting IGR, and this has reflected in the increase they’ve recorded when compared with their 2018 receipts. I’m particular about Anambra because i know the huge potential it has, coupled with the fact the Governor has been making pronouncements on increasing the states internally generated revenue! Imo and Abia...their own wahala is just too much for me to analyse tonight! ![]() |
