The effects of the past visionless & selfish leaders...so many things are untapped in that state... people, culture, soil, roads, weather, agriculture, etc... They just sit & wait for oil revenue for their pockets

But at least we can't say we have had it bad. we are using that oil revenues to improve our State. 12 years ago we were just a backwater state but today we have the highest foreign Investments after Lagos..do check.
Today we are in the top 3 most beautiful states in Nigeria.
we have an international airport built and manage by the state and an airline
We have a fantastic and beautiful stadium.
We are building many industries to absorb our unemployed youths.
Our people are known for their cleaniness and we have the best roads In the country.
recently Uyo was ranked as the neatest city in Nigeria by both Foreign and Nigeria organizations.

What I'm saying in essence is that, Yes our leaders might have stolen but still they did and are still doing well and will continue to do well by improving the state than they met it.
We aren't there yet but I can say we are on the right lane...So stop hating and appreciate the state for once.
We no dey compare leaders abeg!

yr state shl be functioning like an European country by now...but see the number of unemployed youths due to lack of industries

Akwa Ibom State has more than meet the eyes to offer; a visit will convince you.

Yes but I can say we are on the right track. maybe if our our oil money was given all to us instead of one useless 13% we will be functioning like the European cities. Don't you see the Europeans cities controls their resources and that's why they are this developed instead of collecting a meagre percentage from the center

In no disrespect to anyone; Cross River State was once the capital of this country, Lagos State was once the capital of this country and even Abuja that is the capital of this country today is not functioning like an European country or do I need to school you that the whole of South-South and our brothers South-East would have been like Europe today had you and your ancestors agreed to restructure this country and allow every state manage their resources?
You say we are supposed to be like Europe right? Lagos with all the industries push to it by your ancestors how European is it?
Abuja as the capital of this country where your ancestors have been ruling for years now, how European is it?
If you don't have what to say you better still keep quiet and allow people with brain speak.
Aside Lagos and Kano which other states do you have in the West and North to compare to any state in the South and East.

Hiss, �����let me go and sleep cause I think I will be waisting my time talking to him.

The jobless youths and adults in Ikorodu alone is more than the entire AkwaIbom. Talking as if you ain't in Nigeria, just the Ibom power plant that can feed the entire state and others how many MW is being given to the state?

Ibeno should be a Heaven of luxurious hotels on the beaches facing the oceans, Victor Attah should have been Governor for life

I Am Not In Akwa Ibom At This Time But Hopeful To Before The End Of The Current Week. I Live Behind The Tropicana.

Hunchogee:

Am in uyo, where in Ibesikpo are you?

we are waiting for china to develop it to a militarybase.

that town must be renamed jamestown ko

Their is an island in Oron near Maritime Academy Oron known as parrot island

Hunchogee:

No need to come low to your level

if you did geography in secondary school you will know what an island is, what you have in your locality are beaches and coastline, looking at the map of akwaibom there are no beaches.

I don't think you know what a map is, sao tome and Gabon are not in Ibeno.

Better go to school.

Yeah, tho they are now waking up

IMO01:
Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Just wow sir

A State blessed by God with everything one could imagine. My one year national youth service in that State was worthwhile. I so much love the State. Lovely, beautiful and accommodating people. I wish to visit the State and tour round her one day. Akwa ibom is truly beautiful. Akwa ibom ayaya So painful I couldn't understand their language so well

IMO01:
I normally watch a program on nta rogo at large. It's a program that shows tourism potential of Nigeria but I'm not sure they have explored this place before. That's shows how big Nigeria is.

The only place people know is the terminal beach becos of ExxonMobil, they even sometime mistakenly called it Eket beach that all ...and surprisingly terminal is not even considered as an island but coastal community which is understood since is connected to eket by land

[quote author=Hunchogee post=91191611]Exclusive: What people don't know or see in the Map....

Akwa Ibom State houses 38 Islands that are very still untapped or developed making the future of tourism more brighter for the state than ever...
Do you know that Ibeno L.G.A has 25 communities and all 22 are Island settlements that is not even much captured in the map..

Others are Mbo L.G.A with 7 Island communities while Eastern Obolo L.G.A has 9 island communities ..
Thus making Akwa Abasi Ibom state the only state with 38 island settlements in Nigeria.

Akwa Ibom currently has the longest seaband or coastal line in west Africa making it a tourism heaven just like the river Nile in Egypt....with a whopping 2410 km2 coastal line, ibeno alone has 1200km2 while others is shared among Mbo, Easyern Obolo, Ikot Abasi etc

Can you please send me a PM? I want to explore this conversation further. I have been to Akwa Ibom (Ikot Ekpene, Uyo, Ibom Resort, the Stadium, etc) and I can tell that the tourism potentials are huge. Planning on going to Oron, Eket, and other interesting places once life normalizes a bit.

seborrhic:

It's now very obvious you don't know what an island means.
Bar Beach,Lekki beach and badagry beaches for eg in Lagos,to you obviously mean islands.

Do Islands has a beachfront yes or no?
Ok I understand your low 1Q....
Do you even know the difference btw a beach and a bar beach?
While waiting for your useless answer, just sign on to an adult classes

Hunchogee:

My brother the truth is is not easy to go around to get pix especially if your not a journalist meanwhile you can press any picture you feel I mixed for 5seconds and it will take you to the source ok

So beautiful. Now all that is left is for a foreigner to develop it.a

Yes boss, with the coming of Ibom industrial city , other island will be explored

Akwa ibom here I come.

Binikingdowm:
This akwa ibom state is too blessed..

I wish akwa ibom and maybe cross river can form a country together. That will be among world most finest country with high GDP per capital, low poverty rate and high literacy rate.

The people from Akwa Ibom are saying they do not want to be together with the people from Cross River state.
