Your situation is quite unfortunate, how you easily get hyper about everything Akpabio is beyond me. Every sane people who reads my post will see that my message centres on how much beautiful the place is now compared to what you have here. Didn't you read where I gave credits to Attah for the ones posted above?
Eyen, why are u jumping the gun? I was only refering to the OP of this thread. know what? I will take this as an errors of omission, in anycase, I suggest u always look well b4 u leap.
Those who are Akpabios lapdog knows themselves and the serial deceptions they are perpetrating here and in the media. Unless u are one of them.

Policewoman: Nigga that picture was from the 1930's. Back then your village people were still dressing like cavemen and the whiteman already had skyscrappers in NEwyork.
Stupi.d dunce. Who is talking about New York? We are talking about Nigeria where the English ruled for 60 years and left you with bush. Dummy dum dum. As at the time that picture was taken, they had already been ruling non stop for 37 years, so why was Uyo still like that? And please save your racist epiteths for your fellow ill bred siblings, you dirty animal.

Imagine if it was white man's land ruled sensibly the way a white man will rule his people, do u think that place wouldn't have turn to tourist centre by now?
But the white man did RULE the place for 63 years. When he left in 1960 the place was still a thatched roof dump with no roads or amenities, no electricity, nothing. Are you saying that was ok since we weren't "his people"? Well if we are not "his people" why do some think he will transform Nigeria today if invited back to rule, or are we suddenly now "his people"? I'm just trying to get some of you white worshippers to use your brains.

Former Gov. Victor Attah remodelled Ibom Connection and added the 2 plazas, shopping mall, entertainment and viewing centre and the 2 byepasses, one leading to Aka road and another leading to Ikot Ekpene roads. The only problem is that the roundabout is too narrow for the volume of traffic that it evacuates on a daily basis, but Ibom connection has room for expansion especially on oron by wellington bassey way axis if the ramshackles structures on the flank of the road could be pulled down to give way to modern edifices.

Sir, Uyo is in Akwa Ibom State while Calabar is the capital of Cross River State. So the FG plays no part in beautification of Uyo.

[b]When i went through the trouble to get those photographs which were right protected on flicker to be released so i could share with you guys on the forum i had promised the original owner of photographs British guy that i will share your reactions to the piece of historical heritage (photograph) with him.

But now am so ashamed of the reaction here that i dont know if its worth sending him the link to this thread.

the reason being that like nigerians we have reduced this to a tribal/ethnic group divide, governors vs other governors + whose fraudulent or not.
There was no political agenda for this thread but purely historical

This was about our history as Akwa ibomites/ Nigerians and to showcase how ibom connection was in 1930 when most of us were not born and what it is in the present time.
I even solicited for a more recent picture of ibom connection to be posted alongside the pic as am presently not in uyo to take pictures. but you all ignored those and went on a tirade instead.

We as Nigerians should be very conscious of what we put out on the web. [/b]

Young man, that's if you are younger than 40, I like your attitude. I think a lot of the young fellows here and in Nigeria needs to emulate your spirit. I hope they would move Nigeria forward. However, I am very pessimistic about that, because a lot of the young people in Nigeria now only care to earn big, but work not. It's a shame really...

Why is it that its only Africans are the ones constantly heaping our retrogression on the colonial rule? most of the world was divided up and colonized by Europeans even the US was once a colony.

The Asian countries were also colonized but today they have all risen from the ills of colonialism and have improved their countries bountifully.

Why cant Nigeria do same? am begining to think that these strategy is for us to accommodate out incompetence by shifting blame.

I know colonialism was bad for the colonized all over the world including Nigeria, but my point is that most countries have recorded significant growth after colonialism, we in Nigeria should do same rather than keep blaming colonialism for everything.

the picture above is a little sign that we can do better as Nigerians.

Did I say I like your attitude? Yes, this is the kind of attitude that will move the country forward. Alas, there is just too much people in that country that know the truth but are not enthusiastic to make the neccessary changes.

Ahh... An angry white man. Mr Oyibo.. Could you put aside your anger and explain to us why Uyo was still a thatched roofed dump after the British ruled Nigeria for 63 years uninterrupted, despite the Brits exporting Nigerian resources worth countless billions of dollars annually in today's currency? It's current governor, Mr Akpabio, has only been in power 7 years and now the place looks like Miami. Any explanation?

Get your facts right Mr.

Firstly, there is colonialism and there is COLONIALISM.

In the first type the colonial power actually puts the nations's resources to decent use by building railroads, universities, roads, power stations, lasting institutions, etc etc. (This happened in India, South Africa, Egypt, America, Canada, etc etc.) In the second type, the COLONIAL power plunders the entire nation, strips it of its resources, evacuates same, and puts almost NOTHING BACK into the country. This was what happened in the black African colonial territories. Go to India and South Africa etc. Their oldest universities were built in the 1800s by these same British who refused to lift a finger in Nigeria to build any university until they were about to be kicked out in 1960, when they built one ''university college''. Read that again: It took the British 63 years in power to build one university in Nigeria.

The north-south railway they built was not to integrate the Nigerian economy but for exports - to evacuate our resources. They built not one single power plant. They imported huge generators to power select parts of a few cities. Not one single freeway or expressway was constructed. Literacy rate was at 10% when they left in 1960. That figure has risen to 75% under indigenous rule. So essentially we had to start from scratch at independence. Unlike the other non-black countries that were colonised. So the argument that ''we were all colonised'' HOLDS NO WATER.

Secondly, my interjection was not to ''blame the colonialists''. It was to blame those Africans who still regard white rule over them as something that would somehow benefit them, even against the backdrop of gross historical neglect they were subjected to under colonialism.

Such people need to be shown the HISTORY of colonial rule on this continent so they stop embarrassing the rest of us with their ignorance and stupidi.ty when they call for whites to come back and rule. That's the point of my interjection.
