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 |

pazienza: How can people be so wicked? Because of a few pennies they are given they promote propaganda that impoverishes Abians and destroys their future. A couple of Igbo people I know living overseas have wanted to set up businesses that would employ hundreds of youths and pay them as much money as they would make in Lagos in Aba and help bolster the economy of the east. Unfortunately whenever we come to Aba (including this year) and see the horror the city is in we are left speechless and have held off. If the criminal gang holding Abia hostage were removed tomorrow, the amount of investments pouring into the city would dwarf the crumbs T.A Orji, Ikuku and Ikpeazu give their propaganda army and provide massive employment opportunities for them. A lot of Igbos would not need to move to Lagos anymore to secure high paying jobs 5 Likes |

contigiency: People here don’t understand the criminal enterprise that is Abia state. TA Orji & Family and Ikpeazu are running a massive rogue enterprise with impunity in the state. They have built an army of propagandists who will defend them after they share this money and are confident they can get away with any level of criminality Anybody who believes that any of this money will be used to build any road is a fool of the highest order. Just search Ikpeazu and Port Harcourt Road here on Nairaland. He allocated billions to repairing that road and even flagged it off with Dave Umahi 3 years ago to much fanfare. All the money is gone and nothing was done. 1 Like |

eduj: Dude you don't need to convince me or anybody else of anything. Its something that T.A Orji, his son and Ikpeazu don't seem to understand. Reality is a very stubborn thing that an army of propagandists will eventually bow down to. To continue their criminal enterprise with impunity they have invested in a vast propaganda machine that believe they can alter reality and pretend that Aba and Abia State is better than it is and deceive people. All while Abia sinks below Zamfara, and the worst Northern states in Nigeria. What they don't know is that not only can the criminal enterprise not last forever, it is a completely wasted effort that is destroying the most talented and promising city in the east. Igbo intellectuals and rich industrialists who used to live in Aba now all live in Lagos. Igbo land is desolate. Our language and culture is being lost and our people are dispersed all around the world. All so some criminals can keep enjoying the loot that they did not work for 1 Like |

There is so much that can be done to resuscitate the south East. We have failed so badly that our region competes with really poor regions of the north. I mean Zamfara generating more revenue than the great Aba and made in Aba within Abia State. All the western states are so far ahead of us except Ekiti. If you guys want to understand why I’m sounding the alarm so much about Aba, look at Enugu for example Enugu leads in IGR because it also has the most basic infrastructure in the south East. If Aba had Enugu’s Road management and waste management it would be the leading place in the south East. It’s why I have little tolerance for the army of propagandists for the criminals holding Abia state hostage. They are damaging Igbo land and driving Igbos into oblivion. They are the most wicked actors in Nigeria’s political space. All so T.A Orji, Ikpeazu and Ikuku can keep Igbo people in abhorrent bondage worse than anything Fulani’s are doing to the southeast. 2 Likes |

eduj: 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!!! 2 Likes |

Umueme: ![]() ![]() 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.

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

XANDERBOY85: What do you gain from this? Nobody is running Aba’s image down. The city is in a horrific shape and no amount of internet propaganda can change that. You are only harming Igbo people and shortchanging is by this. The first step to changing a situation is to acknowledge reality as it Is. For Aba to change we need to expose its dire condition currently. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailytrust.com.ng/aba-generating-billions-groaning-under-infrastructural-decay.html/amp https://www.premiumtimesng.com/features-and-interviews/375805-despite-thriving-businesses-aba-remains-a-pigsty.html https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.sunnewsonline.com/abia-portrait-of-decay/amp/ What do we as Igbo people gain by this situation continuing while we pretend?

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!!! ![]() ![]() 4 Likes |

B2mario: Dude stop this silly trash you are doing. For a few peanuts from the people holding Abia state hostage (who think through foolish propaganda they can forever rip off the state) you are selling Igbo people down a river. They think they can perpetually run this criminal enterprise without consequence forever because TA Orji got away with it for 8 years. There is a reason TA Orji’s sons enjoy Abia money in Abuja and don’t spend their loot in the state it was stolen from. Abuja is a real city while Aba is a embarrassment to Igbos and an absolute shitty filth. What the state propaganda machine doesn’t recognize is that they are destroying what was once the pride of Ndi Igbo. They are harming Igbo people irreparably and erasing our identity as a people. So many Igbo people around the world would bring investments and prosperity to Aba if only the people holding the state hostage understood how they are throwing away the jewel of Igbo land and it’s massive potential. Shame on people who collect small pennies from the criminals ruining Abia state and post pictures of wheelbarrow cement mixers as evidence that the “governor is working” These people are worse than Fulani’s/Yorubas/Buharis etc. that they complain about. Absolutely despicable scum |

XANDERBOY85: 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 3 Likes 1 Share |

Purehuman: Thanks for being honest. Some Igbo people here lie to themselves all day and pretend the Southeast is an economic juggernaut when in reality a lot of people are even scared of going back home because of kidnapping and most influential entrepreneurs have fled to Lagos (and some Abuja) Cities like Aba that used to be the industrial heart of Igbo land has been rotting while people who are destroying places like Abia state engage in silly propaganda even on this platform What is so sad about what South east leaders are doing is that they are eroding our ethnic identity slowly. When our kids are born in Lagos,, Abuja or overseas to parents who run away from Igbo land and dont spend anytime there anymore because its comatose economically and unsafe, these kids lose our language and our culture slowly fades away. Our identity dies bit by bit Our problem is not Fulani, Yorubas or any of these things we waste our time on. I weep whenever I see all these arguments on here. Our problem is Ikpeazu, T.A Orji, Ikuku and the likes. They are the one destroying Igbo land 5 Likes |

Aba is a goldmine. If only Ikpeazu and co understand what they are throwing away by wasting all their time doing propaganda. Aba should look far better than Enugu considering its revenue surpasses Enugu. So so sad people here praise mediocrity so much 5 Likes |

eduj: Again the rot in Aba makes it impossible for anybody to appreciate anything you say about Aba. The whole place is rotten |

Igbo people need to realize that until Aba's plight changes and power is removed from the hands of the Orji clan and their stooges (like Ikpeazu), the southeast WILL keep falling behind. The place that powered manufacturing and industry along with commerce in Nigeria has been turned into a complete wasteland. A city with amazing promise and ability to be a leading city in Nigeria turned into a trash dump. Forget about Hausa/Fulani and Yoruba's and turn all the fire power to changing Aba. The whole Southeast and surrounding areas like PH and Uyo would benefit massively from it. Igbo's primary battle before Igbo presidency, who built Lagos, Yorubas and Hausa/Fulani etc is to get their premier city functioning again. It should be to change the horror that is Aba 3 Likes |

Who believes this trash propaganda? The usual propaganda MO This video could come back to haunt Ikpeazu and his minions when it isnt attended to. Unlike the case of Port Harcourt road where after taking pictures on caterpiller and allocating billions to the road nothing happened and these guys act with impunity, taking the people in Aba as helpless fools. Impunity only lasts so long and the day of reckoning will come and will be swift for these people who think they can do anything they want and get away with it 1 Like 1 Share |

Focusmind: Abia people voted for Otti. Ikpeazu was rigged in after he lost. Abia is being held hostage by people who are intent on keeping the state the way that it is. You have no idea how wicked and devious the people holding Abia State down are. They consider Abians helpless fools and think internet propagandists can perpetuate their power forever while Abians live in filth and decay and they make away with all the wealth meant for the state. |

ngoxievergreen: Abia people voted for Otti. You dont seem to understand how devious the people we are talking about are. They have so rigged INEC in the state that even if Otti wins 90% of the vote, INEC will declare the candidate of the Orji family winner regardless. Abia needs federal intervention ASAP. The state newspapers and radio stations did not even dare mention the news of T.A. Orji and his son looting the state dry. They are completely bought off and muzzled. The folks that control Abia act with so much impunity because they dont see how anybody can disrupt the deadly stranglehold they have on the state 1 Like 1 Share |

There will NEVER be an Eyinmba Economic City put into practice by Ikpeazu and his cronies. Never. In 2023 you will still be looking for this city and it will be nowhere to be found. How can you build a new city when you ant even repair a few kilometers of road in the current one or remove the heaps of refuse drowning Aba and Umuahia? Its a joke.

Chukazu: I feel really bad for Abia people. ANybody who thinks their current level of existence is tolerable has either never left Abia and environs or is a paid sycophant. Once the sun goes down life outside is virtually over. Aba wasnt like that in the 1980's the town was flooded with powerful street lights and traffic lights, roads had markings, side walks and covered drainages, cinemas and night concerts were a thing too. The people are not living they are just existing currently. Aba is a decript filthy town (ex-city) with huge refuse dumps and Umuahia is basically a village (ex-town) that's very dirty as well Meanwhile the people who kept them in those conditions are enjoying life full time in Abuja with Abia state money. The live in 15 million Naira per annum modern complexes that look like what you see in 1st world countries that don't exist anywhere in Abia State. They move around on beautiful 6 lane boulevards at 3am every weekend in Abuja to and fro from different wonderful night clubs. They go to modern shopping complexes and malls, spend their weekends in multiples cinemas and parks, order pizzas, burgers, French fries etc and things to be delivered to their house. Modernity that is completely alien to Abia State Meanwhile some sycophants collect a few thousand Naira and promote propaganda. Unlike propaganda like "Aba mega mall" and "Aba flyover" etc, Abuja malls are actually real malls and Abuja flyovers and roads are actually real. So sad 1 Like |

Chukazu: These guys are paid peanuts to defend the indefensible What they dont realize is that because of Aba's potential, if some decent level of infrastructure came into the town, they would have the opportunity of making 10 times as much as the Governor pays them to defend him online. There are threads on Southeast Development here on Nairaland showcasing hundreds of pages of development in each thread of Enugu, Anambara, Imo, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Ebonyi There is none for Abia because of the decayed condition of the state. Uyo was a really small town compared to Aba. Awka was a really tiny town compared to Aba. Owerri and Enugu too were behind Aba. Today Uyo is far more developed and Owerri and Enugu are much father ahead of Aba now. Even Awka has taken strides in development. I weep for Aba and Abia people but I also weep for people who collect peanuts and defend the filth that Abia is today Meanwhile their political patrons and their families spend all their time in Abuja (An actual city with full blown nightlife, street lights, traffic lights, pedestrian lights, 6 way lanes, night clubs, malls, cinemas, parks, shopping complexes, boulevards etc) when they could easily develop Aba to be at least Port Harcourt or Uyo or Enugu or Owerri levels.

konjakonja: Degrading yourself for pennies while Aba's potential as a world renowned city and immense opportunities that come with that especially for the youth withers away. Aba is in a state of complete filth and decay now. A serious leader can make it a brand new city in 18 to 24 months max. If you rebuild 25 to 35 kilometers of roads in Aba it would become one of our leading cities again. Instead they leave you in filth and go to Abuja and spend their time in a clean, serene and sane environment that actually looks like a city while employing sycophants and paying them pennies to degrade themselves online and defend a city they abandoned to be a rotten dump. 1 Like |

Ojiofor: The insanity of people who support the current rot in Abia is immeasurable. Abia and Aba in particular are in a state of total decay. The funny thing is that if you did like 35 KM of solid roads in Aba with sidewalks it would look like a brand new city. People who are ok with the filth that is currently in Aba have either never left the state or paid sycophants of the current and previous govt. The resources of the state are being used to enrich a few and the people in power feel this sense of impunity due to their rigging machine. I'm sick of this mediocrity 1 Like |
