IGBOSON1:


Port Harcourt road is to Aba, what Aba road is to Port Harcourt! It’s a federal road isn’t it?

Since that is the major thoroughfare in Aba, i would have expected any serious Governor -esp’ one from Ngwa- to pull out all the stops to make that road the most beautiful in the entire south-east and south-south! The wicked federal gov’ts since 1999 have stubbornly refused to fix that road and treat it like they would any other major road in say Abuja or Kaduna! Had i been the Governor, i’d bring in JB for the job even if it means breaking the bank to get a good job done!

Okpulo umuobo in Aba is the Riches n finest ..but u can hardly see anyone bring pictures from that zone

IGBOSON1:
All those last set of pics, if they’re all Ama-Hausa, then i’d say the northerners have it good in Aba! I’ve seen pics of Sabon-gari in Kano, and it’s not half as nice as this.....most of the roads were untarred, with filth, mud and litter all over the place! See how hospitable Ndigbo can be?

What Aba neighbourhoods need is some attention paid to aesthetics! The job just doesn’t end in constructing roads!

This weird culture of pretending Abia/Aba is particularly bad is really something else

Yes bro the Arrewa communites in Aba are peaceful and are living in a cool environment.
They have about 2 market exclusively built for them alongside various mosque
If you visit Ahia Good morning (the number of Arrewa people there eh! Will make you think,you are in the North).
In uratta community the have a very big Arrewa onions market (when I mean big, I mean very big),
Even in other part of Abia outside Aba
Like the lokpanta cattle market, which is the largest cattle market in southern Nigeria,
Funny enough is that, many people don't even know that they are always part of the Abia state government as every adminstration has been given them political appointment right from when Abia was created. (You can equally make your research)
Funny enough most of all this tribal beef are mostly done on the internet not in real life

Ogbuefi2020:

Its only the unambitious afonjas that say Igbos are hostile to other tribes as an excuse for their lack of adventure

If it was a bad recycled pictures
I Know by now it would have been in front page

Help us an invite the mods

demarketing

Cc: mynd44 OAM4J and there brother laslastical to carry us enter promise Land

Recently I visited the upcoming Enyimba mall
And watched the investor interview online
Where he Said he has been hearing bad new about ABA (cos he was a Nigerian in diaspora) and therefore he suspended his upcoming investment since then, not until he came back to Nigeria and visited ABA, he was schocked (he was expecting slums, unplanned settlement and bad City roads but he was disappointed ) seeing this he hurriedly resumed his suspended investment, and he is speedily moving fast in construction (even when some part of the building where destroyed and looted during End SARS sagas).
So very soon checkbest l.t.d will soon finish there upcoming mall.

asha80:

Nigercity:


Odinary a Google search
Will answer your questions

asha80:

The Demarketing of Abia started in 2014
When a political party (APGA) felt that PDP has had enough in ABIA, and has not really done upto the expectations of the masses, (which was actually true)
So the went ahead using all medium of propaganda to kick the PDP out, including taking shots from different angles of port Harcourt road, Ngwa roads and other federal and state roads not in good shape and littering the whole internet space with it, up till now the pictures are being recycled by various people with imported pictures of bad roads from other Nigeria cities added to it, and the cycle keeps going.
And as we already know the average Abians are not really interested in social media, poltics and so, all the do it's business and nothing but business...
But through be told
The state is not really bad
As the internet paints it
A visit will equally convince anyone

Nigercity:


Yes oh
That's very true
Okpulo umuobo is very fine
With a lots of housing estate in it
I don't know why I haven't seen an Ariel view or drone shot from that Axis.
