Propaganda achieves nothing. When Mbakwe worked on Aba and set up the city nicely, all big Igbo men, industrialists, people returning from overseas etc moved there to live. Americans, Europeans, Chinese, Indians etc lived in the city and their kids attended school there. People voted with their feet and with their money in investments. No need for joke propaganda we have here. Igbo land benefited and made a name for itself with Aba made. Why does T.A, Ikuku and Ikpeazu need a propaganda army being paid by Abia State money here trying to fool people? Abia and Aba in particular is the filthiest most decayed place in Nigeria. The truth about this will take center stage soon on a more global forum. No amount of propaganda can hide it forever or alter reality 2 Likes 1 Share |

sage: Its painful and worst there is this inexplicable silence by Igbos who are supposed to do something about T.A and his son reign of impoverishment in that stte. But everyone is keeping quiet. Abaribe is interested in talking about SE marginalization at the center which is commendable and we love him for being courageous enough to do. But what about back home? Abaribe has nothing to say about T.A reign and his stooge in Abia. His silence is no longer golden, just because he knows T.A controls the state PDP machinery, he looks the other way to the impunity going on in Abia while in return they reward him with continuous return ticket to the Senate. Is being in Senate worth it when Abia is this infrastructurally challenged with civil servants living in penury? Nnamdi Kanu is not saying much too, but these are his people and people are suffering at home. Biafra is good, but people need to live to get to Biafra, even Moses had to provide food and water for the Israelites. Is he scared of T.A turning Ndi Ngwa against him if he speaks? Why the silence? 3 Likes |

SonOfEl: What am I lying about? Aba had non Nigerians living and working in it in the 1980's. Even European brand showrooms like Bata shoes had showrooms in Aba Aba has decayed so much now it even lacks basic sanitation or roads. The horror is unspeakable and North African teams that come to Aba to play Enyimba must conclude that our people are nothing but animals considering Aba' s state (all just so the T.A. Orji criminal enterprise can continue in perpetuity) Aba was one of the first places in Nigeria to get anything that debuted in Lagos. Multiple cinemas, supermarkets eateries, concerts etc. Today Aba is in such a horrific state it lacks a mall, cinema (it used to have multiple in the 1980's) basic sanitation or roads 5 Likes 2 Shares |

SonOfEl: There is no honor amongst thieves. Those who have robbed Abia blind since 1999 are incapable of honour and it would silly to think they would keep any non constitutional rule. Even if they keep the rule, the Abia North man would still be another stooge under T.A and Ikuku control. The looting can only get worst. 3 Likes 1 Share |

pazienza:oh now you don't want to give the Yoruba's arsenal to fight ndiigbo? so your half-truths aren't ammunition enough? do you think you are the only one with ugly pics from other SE states?you make me laugh. maybe if I paraphrase my questions once again, you would answer me this time around. How many states in the east beat Abia in terms of industrialisation ,fdi and tread ? would we be getting massive industries year in and out if truly Abia isn't functioning? But wait oh! are you stating that to the best of your knowledge that roads are bad in Aba as they where before 2015 ? How many flyovers has your present state government constructed since its now the major status to show advancement? if only ngwa peeps support ikpeazu,how did he win the last elections? I gave pics of the roads (go through this thread and see pics I have continuously posted) being done by this present government.Next I know, you claim it isn't a double dual carriageway -even your truck can drive beside another truck on a section of that road. while peeps like you only claim what you aren't online, and focus on the shortcomings (which I never denied) of Aba, I and other ''s like me would show the world the good side of these mighty city. And what do you know? maybe it's working because my city would only keep getting better the days of neglect aba experienced is in the he past. when Newmap roundup the ph -ngwa road axis, I expect to see you guys find another reason to whip us I expect you have to have the final say-but goodnight hopefully tomorrow would bring better 7 Likes |

Senate considers bill to tackle erosion in South-East ON JUNE 10, 20206:18 AMIN NEWS …As local content, National Transport Commission bills scale second reading The Senate yesterday considered a bill to address the problem of erosion in the country, with special focus on the South-East. The bill which scaled second reading seeks to establish the Erosion Control and Prevention Commission. Sponsor of the bill, Senator Ifeanyi Ubah (YPP – Anambra South) in his lead debate on the bill, said the establishment of a commission for the purpose of erosion control and prevention had become imperative in view of the catastrophic impact of erosion in several parts of the country. “Almost every part of this country is characterized by one environmental problem or the other but, however, the menace of erosion is unarguably the severest in terms of devastation and destruction; for instance, the 2012 flooding in Ibadan, Oyo State, the coastal erosion in Lagos, Bayelsa and Rivers States and almost all parts of Anambra State. It is also very important to note that gully erosion is almost taking over the entire landmass of the South East and South South. “The problem of erosion is catastrophic in the southern part of Nigeria, while desertification is in the North, but with the enactment of the Green Wall Act by the National Assembly, the issue of desertification was laid to rest. “In the southern part of the country, erosion is responsible for the widespread destruction of transportation and communication systems, degradation of arable land, contamination of water supply, isolation of settlements and migration of communities. “From available statistics, more than 3,500 gullies occurred in the south east states alone. These gullies are formed by surface runoff from localized rainfall event of high intensity in the fine-to coarse-grained sand and sandstones,” Ubah said. Citing a World bank survey carried out on Nigeria in 1990, the lawmaker stressed that “erosion is one of the three main environmental problems facing Nigeria.” According to him, the study noted that “gully erosion causes damage with an annual cost to the nation estimated at N800 billion naira.” Senator Ajayi Boroffice (APC – Ondo North), in his contribution , however kicked against the establishment of a commission for the purpose of erosion control in the South East. According to the lawmaker who is the Deputy Senate Leader, an amendment to the Ecological Fund to accommodate the erosion problems in the South East would address all challenges faced by the region. Senator Rochas Okorocha (APC – Imo West), while throwing his weight behind the bill said the commission when established, would not only address the erosion challenges faced by the South East, but also every other part of the country affected adversely by such environmental challenge. Senator Ibrahim Gobir (APC – Sokoto East), argued that “creating a commission will be a burden on government”, particularly at a time that it is trying to cut down costs. He, therefore, advocated for the adoption of preventive measures through the introduction of legislation by the National Assembly. In his remarks on the bill, President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, said, “the debate tended to sway whether we need a commission or not, but the fact is, we have to address the ecological challenges we have in the country. “If we have gully erosion that is destroying the lands in various parts of the country, especially in the south east, then we have to do something, whether it is a Commission or not. I believe that there are other ecological challenges in other parts of the country. “Coastal erosion is also a strong challenge in the Nigerian coastal environment, just as desertification is a big problem in the northern part of the country. “I want to say that the Green Wall project actually is not desertification control. It is simply afforestation. Desertification control should be much more comprehensive than that. “Similarly, when we have gully erosion, it is just not about stopping the erosion, there are other things that need to be done beyond stopping it because communities’ livelihoods are affected. So, you need to have something comprehensive.” |

I have a question for engineers on this thread, specifically, road engineers. Is there something about roads in Aba that makes it difficult or maybe expensive to do compared to roads in other parts of the country. I think i've heard something similar pertaining to the soil in the Niger Delta. I don't know if that's what is wrong with Aba. I'm asking because, i can't for the life of me understand why Aba is so neglected by the Abia state government. They can't even make the roads as decent as the roads in Umuahia. 1 Like |
