The only thing nice about this picture is that brings back memories. I am very saddened that this picture is recent. It should be some old possibly black and white picture dated earlier than 1999.. Showing that students still have to provide sitting desks in classrooms which they ferry on their heads at the beginning and end of term in 2013 is very annoying angry. Yet govt is talking about free and compulsory education. Are we going forward, backwards or not moving at all. Govt has to be more responsible. If govt cannot provide desks, chalkboards, etc. I wonder what its providing. Something to think about.

that was gov attahs Dyncorp render wasn't it? am not sure. but whats on the render above is whats being built by Alcon.
Project undergo design changes during the design stages nothing new.

^^^I prefer the current design being built. The old 'Dyncorp' one looks over-the-top and a bit pretentious!

Though i hope they reduce the number of pillars and columns in the halls inside the building.....that's an old way of building large structures like airport terminals!

This attitude of yours will never get things better both in akwa ibom and Nigeria at large. What do you mean by self hate? I will continue to hate every bad thing in our society and praise to high heavens when things are done correctly. That is difference between sycophancy and constructive criticism. What l am pointing out is not peculiar to akwa ibom its even worse in other states but akwa ibom is my home, I need things to get better thats why I point them out for govt and all of us to take correction. PERIOD!

Thats an old picture, everyone in AKS knows that the reason you need to take your desk home is if the class room has no door and windows to avoid theft/vandalism,
The newly constructed classroom buildings in the state which are a lot even though more still needs to be built all have doors and windows and kids leave their lockers there?

Having to carry your lockers home isn't the worst thing that can happen to a school kid as long as you have a decent learning environment and good teachers. I did carry my lockers home not that i wish that on the kids.
And you also have to take into account that some families use those lockers at home as furniture when the kids dont require them at school.
Mine is still at home and i was in secondary school eons ago.

Why dont you post some pictures of the good or bad that you see in the state rather than you usual bickering? the title of the thread is uyo...... in pictures, rather than gripe it would suffice you to post some pics too

That said am done talking to you you can rant all you want and keep being mad about Akpabio all you want hes your governor and you cant change that.

My brother, stop trying to defend the indefensible. I schooled at Holy family college, abak not quite far from where that picture was taken. One could see the abak prisons fence behind there. I too used to carry desks on my head but not to my house but to the assembly hall where it will kept under lock and key till the beginning of the next term. That desk was provided by my parents not govt. I am saying Govt should provide desks for students for Gods sake. is it too much to ask? I left hfc for fgc ik, there fg provided desks. I didn't have to bring my desk from home! See the difference? There the desks were conjoined making it difficult for anyone to steal. Why would anyone want another man kid (because you said yours won't) carry desks across roads at the end of every term. We have to progress as a society and hold whosoever is holding office-president, minister, governor, commissioner, principal, class teacher, etc accountable.

I am presently not in aks now. When I visit I promise to furnish you pictures of only the good, I will keep the bad and ugly away because of the topic. Akwa ibom is a very blessed state with every potential to explode economically. We all, including you and me have to make sure this happens. As far far as you are in the world bickering must exist, you cant wiah it away. It is rather how you handle these bickerings is what makes the difference. Not when it comes you brand ppl anti-this or that. Deal with the issues because we all want the best for the state.

Just by the way, why post those students with desks on their heads while the topic is uyo- city of peace and beauty grin. Kindly take it off.

MostIncredible.DFirst:
What u've stated above is completely in error, false n misleading, n gives d impression dat u're a paid propaganda agent of d govt, except u wanna tell me u landed in akwa ibom just recently. In as much as i salute and commend Gov. Akpabio 4 consolidating on d infrastructural developments which his predecessor started, it will be very uncharitable 2claim & insult d intelligence of a proud Akwa Ibom son like me dat d transformation in Akwa ibom started just in 2007. In specific terms however, Akpabio may be commended 4d developments dat have taken place in ikot ekpene zone & in some suburbs of Uyo, includin all his ambitious signature projects. But it is on record dat all major civil works in uyo including major dual-carriage roads, new housing estates in osong ama, shelter afrique et al, as well some other signature projects like Uyo-Plaza, Le Meridien hotel, et al; were on ground even before 2003. But d difference lies in d fact dat d former governor did not showcase his deeds 2d outside world as akpabio is doing thro his "uncommon transformation tv-program" showing on national networks, as well as d guided-tours which he conducts for all high-profile guests 2d state. So pls desist from makin such annoying comments dat are false.



Does it matter who built what in Akwa Ibom? The governorship of any state ought to be like a relay race....you do your lap(as best and as fast as you can) and hand over the baton to another athlete without dropping it.



Development is not a one off event, it has no terminal, it is forever on-going.

anylove100: all the photos shown above are unimpressive 2/10 deceitful photos,White elephant deceit to score gullible votes for a greater political ambition perhaps the governor aspires to run for presidency someday and with public knowledge of state allocation its only wise to have a little back up to show as evidence of funds expenditure, but i can get a hint of the calibre of people enchanted by such mediocrity,i empathize that such individuals know no better.
Everyone keeps talking about tourism,I want to know when Nigerian families will start building/living in beachfront mansions or picket fenced suburbs like in America and change their mentality.with cooperation and without being scared of jealous people,armed robbers and voodoo .in my opinion i think all this tourist talk is rubbish,it denotes a mental slavery and inferiority complex.why build for strangers instead of for the people?thats the black man's downfall,always trusting and hospitable to their fault instead of copying only the good from developed countries yet retaining positive aspect of their culture like the japanese do.I don't want to hear any ignorant excuses how rome or America wasnt built in a day,I am here to tell you that as soon as people landed in America they began to invent,build and develop outstanding structures(there are vintage pictures to prove that 1770 new york is still millions of times better than modern lagos.)i can show you paintings of 4thcentury italy how better it look compared to abuja.60 bloody years and this is all we can show?something that should take just 4 /5years.the time has arrived for nigerians to say enough is enough,no matter what it takes ,use indigenous companies to construct projects ,Even if they are not perfect for now in 10 years they will, But atleast we'll know we did it ourselves an all black society and be proud of it and such mentality will pass on to younger generations(i'm not saying hate other races,just saying love your race ),line the streets with trees instead of too many street lights ,cloud seeding should be done to blast the often grey clouds revealing deep blue sky instead.create building codes etc those are example of laws .create new courses in high school and teach the kids how beautiful and blessed they are by God for having a dark or brown skin (protection from sun) and teach them to have sympathy on light skin individuals ,tell them its a muted skin defect.teach them about black inventors and astronauts such as George Carver posters in classrooms to encourage and give them confidence and sense of self impossibility.distribute more images of a dark middle eastern Jesus christ,distribute more images of a happy modest black family of 3 or 4 having dinner or picnic etc fill their young brains with images of love and kindness.teach them to know that a black man like them invented the traffic light,teach them about their history such as calabar and benin kingdoms with images that portray a civilized society .teach them etiquette courses on how to live in society,not littering the place etc,refrain from spanking them .most nigerian kids only have an image of blacks as gangster rappers or basketballer,they need to know about african american inventors,physicians,scholars and astronauts 1.Astronaut Leland Melvin 2. Dr Ben Carson ,etc

.Nigerians need to know that America/Canada is a black and white contribution and development and not just whites.i hear nigerians refer to developed countries as white countries,such perception is wrong and must be changed in this generation as this breeds a sense of inferiority in nigerian kids.(continuation)In ancient times kingdoms sent spies to other kingdoms to study secrets of others yet the idiotic nigerian leaders travel to developed countries and still have no clue,how long will nigeria continue to run to white inflated companies? instead of throwing away billions to enrich foreign economies why not train nigerians,love one another. nigerians should promote a modern leisure lifestyle such as going to the beach like americans do in the Carolinas ,Virginia,florida ,california or Hawaii or U.S virgin Islands.build skating rinks at the city beaches,soccer and basketball courts and advertize on tv to younger nigerians .brainwash nigerian kids if you will to develop a habit of skating,going to the beach ,golf course and parks for family picnics ,girls should wear bikini and boys wear shorts with no shirt instead of religious sentiment wearing suite to the beach ,mentality really has to be invested in etc.all these pics look ugly and the roads will go back to its former state cos asphalt is not conducive for nigerian climate. the modern roads technology currently being built in America are built with concrete tarr which can last to even 4000 years old without a single crack. ,nigerians should not settle for less.can you believe a small remote American town or even a ghetto such as Compton or Bronx looks millions of times better than abuja yet those are ghetto according to American standard..perhaps the people who think the pics above are development havent seen any better.the entire place to me looks dirty to the eyes and low standard despite the fact these are professional photos .I have seen real life pics of ordinary people in the city on facebook.the place is far from developed and more has to be done infact everything has to be destroyed,planned and built from scratch.don't you guys know cities such as New York,London,Miami,Seattle etc are bigger than Akwa Ibom?and yet the AKS government cant develop the entire suburb of uyo which is 6 percent of akwa ibom landmass just think about it, not to talk of ITU,ORON,EKET etc.they tarr 5 long major roads only and 7 other long side streets in the entire state and call it Uncommon Transformation yet these are infrastructures that are supposed to be there in the first place,is the government doing the citizens a favour?. branch out of those major tourist roads leading to the resort or theatre and the reality on ground begins,so who is fooling who?I ask.in this day and age can you believe theres no worldclass seaport, ferry(like the ones from (SICILLY to Venice,Italy) or even a bridge from Oron to Calabar because of tribal ignorance?I rate the governor 2/10, This pics are laughable ,5 star hotel my foot,Elibrary my ass,INTERNATIONAL airport first of its kind my ass,Free Education? what a total joke its more like Free Ignorance,dont you know Albany is the capital of New York state? and Carson city is Capital of Nevada ?yet there are other cities more popular like NYC and Las vegas ,tribalism and ignorance wont allowed that in Nigeria,instead of building a seaport and skyscraper business district in Mbo and Ibeno like major cities such as Chicago,Miami etc tribalism wont allow it yet they are all one tribe ibibio,oron,efik,anang-one bloody tribe yet still tribalistic .other developed countries are closing down their old school physical libraries cos of modern internet Library and here we are celebrating mediocrity and foolishness,Nations are building modern glass homes,devicing new strategies for societal problems,and research centres but nigerians love to copy the leftover trends,they think using red bricks to build homes and Ibom connection will automatically turn it into London not knowing that different countries build according to climatic codes,why do you think all those infrastructures in nigeria are hard to maintain and decay in few years.Bad maintenance culture,sand on side of roads,poverty every corner,hypocritical religious bigots,proud and stubborn ignoramuses ,no laws and organization,child hawking etc, dusty low class scenery and you tell me uncommon transformation?you must be deluded my friends,do you know how many worldclass vacation destinations are in Mexico,Greece,croatia,Australia?do you know how many worldclass recreation destinations are in America Alone such as in Myrtle Beach,Orlando,Miami beach,Hawaii,California,U.S virgin islands?and you think they will leave all that to Ibeno,lekki or Bar beach ?dont you know the city of Toronto or Los angeles have more than 30 golf courses each for its residence,yet nigerians love to build resorts and golfcourses for strangers.its high time nigeria be developed for nigerians,only tourist potential are Crossriver national forest ,yankaree game reserve.nigerians should stop waving obudu cattle ranch flag as theres nothing unique or special about it ,do you know millions of Americans own their personal ranches like MJ did?havent you seen american mansions like will smith's sitted on 100 acres in california?yet nigerians marvel at a mediocre Akwa Ibom governors lodge.I have a dream that someday God will rain down Enlightenment and progress on Africa and all blacks and we shall be free from mental slavery and ignorance.

In any sane country people know that looks and persona matters in politics,a president,Governor or Mayor of a city must look good as they are the first impression and representation of their people.Larry Esin would have been a better governor for Akwaibom.Donald Duke would fit such profile as a president ,he would have presented a modern progressive Nigeria,he is handsome,tall,young,good speaker,intelligent,even his name sounds good and he's good performer yet the nigerian curse(Tribalism)wouldnt elect him,they went and elected the total opposite,all you see are illiterate,classless,potbellied puppets as nigerian president and governors again and again and again.theres only one city in Nigeria and that is Lagos yet Lagos is still a mess except some parts of the island which was developed by whites as capital cos of their embassies there recently has been retouched by the mayor of that city ,Abuja like lagos is only nice in areas around the embassies and foreign offices etc,the rest of nigeria is a glorified slum.there should be 5 major world class cities and one capital only instead of everyone wanting to develop their village,building little airports everywhere,why waste money for another so called INTERNATIONAL airport in akwaibom when theres already one needing refurbishing in calabar and airstrip in eket ,and another funny thing is that although the airport is in okobo oron yet they say uyo,that shows the lack of cooperation,tribalism,envy,resentment and disunity despite the fact that most calabar residence are akwa ibom anyway,why not unite instead of divide? there should be only 5 cities 1. Lagos/benin metro 2.Jos 3.Port Harcourt/aba metro 4.Kano 5.calabar/akwa ibom metropolis and everything else in between including villages should be wiped out ,move everyone to the cities,even cemeteries should be refurbished with new cross tombs and flowers .


Are you a Nigerian or AA? The most educative part of your post is the "bolded" and I think the Nigerian government needs to look into that. Most of our roads don't last.

AKS Govt should save The ICT park project,It is Saddening that the place has become a farm cassava plantation. the present administration should look into completing this project as a lot of money was sunk into it by the past administration. this project should be resuscitated.

The state govt has recently sent 150 indigenes of the state to india for ICT training, This park would serve as a great place for them to come back and apply their acquired skills. picture courtesy of www.facebook.com/akwaibomglobal/photos_stream

uyo city is base on scam run by ngozi iweala ministry on oil allocation in nigeria.. there are not 70 oil platform in akwa ibom state as claim by the Supreme court of Nigeria..

Akwa ibom state govt went to court with false information claiming it had 70 oil platform. there is no 70 oil platform in akwa ibom state.. there are less than 15 platform.. and even some of them are in cross river state and not akwa ibom state..

so akwa ibom state govt is running a scam on the rest of the nation of Nigeria. that is not fair on majority of Nigeria.. or on cross river state..

What the supreme court need to do is review the case.. And the supreme court fail to visit the place to comfirm if there is 70 oil platform. And the supreme court of Nigeria fall for a scam by the akwa ibom state govt. And I dont even think, if the akwa ibom governor have ever seen 70 Oil platform.. .

This is it.. the Akwa ibom state govt should take the pictures of the 70 oil platform and show it to the whole of Nigeria.. it does not exist.. It was a scam on nairaland which went to the supreme court. because the owners of nairaland are runnning scam.

70 Oil wells not platforms. let me educate you small, Platforms are central points were wells are collated. some platform has 10 wells flowing through it, others might might have 20 ,5, 40 wells flowing through it. wells n platform no b d same

I agree with majority of your points. I believe most times tribalism, nepotism, and trivial politics clouds the judgement of our public office holders. I do believe the private sector, entrepreneurs can apply finesse and perfection in some of the projects they undertake.

for instance, the picture of domingo specialist hospital above isn't appealing to me. It looks like a boarding house for secondary school students that's if I am not overstating the fact. It wouldn't be difficult to have a specialist hospital constructed with glass.....looking magnificent. Glass construction may be expensive initially but it is cheaper to maintain.

in terms of promoting tourism, I believe governments and individuals need to think outside the box in terms of inventing something creative that will drive and make people fly thousands of miles to spend their cash and stay in exotic hotels. It's not just about building 5 star hotels and an entertainment center. It's thinking outside the box that has made countries like UAE, singapore, thailand, brazil, the appeal of tourists around the world...

I am a perfectionist and even though the projects above are not at par with the allocations of the state, I must say the governor should be given a 4/10 for not entirely neglecting the state unlike some of his peers.
