Ricky_Ross: These are world class roads in rural communities in Akwa Ibom and its free for all. In Lagos these roads/bridges must be tolled.

World class road for world class poverty .look at the poverty/misery of the people on thay road in spite of the stupendous monthly allocation .those road /flashy hotels will not be in the same condition in a few years but the poverty will remain constant .
If you want to know about transformational and inter generational development.look no further than aregbesola and what he his doing to transform the future of the kids of osun state.some of those kids will become great someday.
That is how you build a nation .if it is so good as you say, you can move there.i have been to akwa ibom before and even know when the then commissioner for local government affair akpabio was scheming for the governorship.but nowhere in this country is so harder to make money and nowhere is it more difficult to survive without money than uyo.
If you have many ,you will enjoy yourself like no other place even before akpabio.uyo girls are quite generous
The elites are swimming in so much money and their children are arrogant . the everyday people are poor but very nice and friendly .
Personally, I think the poor in that state need a governor who will concentrate on human capital development since the money is available .education ,health ,agriculture &housing . A typical state in the southeast and southwest have the critical mass of educated middleclass professionals at home and abroad.akwa ibom needs a champion to build that for them

Garri the 1st:

Why not tell your brothers to relocate from Lagos to Akwa. Ibom. After all it has an International Airport and a Seaport as well as "World-Class" Infrastructure....

Did you say God Forbid??

I thought as much.....

PapaBrowne:

Maybe you think Lagos belongs to you because you are a Yoruba man. Sorry for you. Osun man like you go dey claim Lagos.

Let me tell you this: We own lagos. We non-indigenes. We make Lagos tick. Without us, Lagos would be just like Ibadan or Ife or Ogbomosho or Ijebu Ode.

What makes Lagos tick:
The banks: We own them. Diamond, Stanbic IBTC
The Airlines: We own them.- Arik and Aero. Edo & Delta
The TV stations: We own them.
The Hotels: We own them.

frodobee: ^^ did you say its very hard to make money in Akwa-Ibom? Please elucidate on that. I have intentions of moving my business down there.

Who did I just hear you mention? AreWHAT? I always marvel at you guys IQ whenever you mention of that name. Is it not the same Osun State that I just concluded my NYSC that you're talking about? GOSH!!! *spits*
What's he transforming? Is it arresting goats and sacking high paid civil servants just to recruit OYES teachers that he pays #10k a month? Thereby putting the secondary schools in a very bad shape where students are been taught by mostly unqualified teachers and corpers.... Better shut the crap and know the difference between rural and urban area.
I've been to so many rural areas in Osun State during my service year and the places are not in any way to compare with the above pictures. Aarrghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

awodman: Look at the quality of roads with the well designed landscape and yet the users don't pay to use this facility..and lest I Forget this road is in a rural area...Akwa ibom ayaya ooooo

ba7man: Those roads make me feel like driving fast on them!!! There are more people walking on those roads than cars though. Akpabio has to think deeper and further than roads now.....at least he has the funds....Skill acquisition centers, attraction of industries and Education will be a welcome addition. The environment is inviting enough.

stine b: Akpabio to me has done more than Fashola in lagos in terms on Infrastructural development. The only advantage fashola has over Akpabio is the media.

Akpabio only concentrates on roads which are easy for him to inflate price and steal money. All the road are costed at 2.7billion naira per kilometre . People should stop all this world class this and world that. Those roads are not upto standards in other third world countries like Singapore . Second to the last picture, the culvert are not levelled at all and are not straight . Road markings by now should be made with white tar and be very straight. I get ashame when we keep using all this words.
I have 2 commissioner friend in akwa IBM, one of the steals upto 300 million from his ministry every month, the other take about 10 million a month. Those guys are just stealing money in akwa IBom . If the people know what akpabio and his boys are up to, they will keep quiet. My take is that he does not do enough for the masses
