kel4soft: I have a special tailor that makes my clothes for me at Aba. Those guys are genius. I can make close to 15 clothes at once there ranging from shirts to my etibo. But, for now I don't patronise their shoes and jeans cos they are still way below standard, that may change soonest if this topic is anything to go by.

arresa:


It is impossible, no country on the surface of the earth moves million shoes a day.

sarutobie: this isn't news naa..The first time I ventured deep into D-line in ariara market way back in 2004, na so I see one shoemaker making two pairs of 'kito' sandals for a lady who was waiting to take it back to her kids to start the new session...it didn't take him more than an hour..I was like so this sandals wey I wear for primary school those years ago dey form big boy na for this aba dem produce am

ISpiksDaTroof: One million pairs a day is obviously a gross exaggeration...but then again if the amount is not inflated then the news is not coming from the South East.

arresa:

One million a day sounds way way more than exaggeration. Its utterly impossible from every angle. Even major shoe makers with better facilities and capacities all over the world can not move 1 million a day.

django1:
Lol. How many people dey this earth sef.

Abagworo: What I've always said is that all Aba needs is good roads and "beautification" to prosper. Aba is actually the 2nd richest city in Nigeria after Port Harcourt before Lagos which comes 3rd and that is without functional Government presence.

The 1st private power plant has long been completed in Aba and the usual Igbo politics of businessman vs intellect is keeping it under lock. Igbos are busy looking for a fault in Okorocha while Emeka Offor is holding down geometric power limited. For the records geometric power was permitted and construction took off during Obasanjo tenure as the 1st private power generation company in addition to 2 owned by Rivers State Government.

@ Abagworo

Hope you know that Lagos has a GDP of $100 Billion out of Nigeria's $509 Billion GDP.

So what is Aba's GDP to make it the 2nd richest city after PH that you quoted in your post above?

@ Abagworo

Infact Abia or even Aba do not feature in the 3rd position as you stated in your post in this
Info on the GDP of States in Nigeria ===>

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nigerian_states_by_GDP

The 2014 Lagos Re-based GDP as I stated earlier is $100 billion ====>>
[[The city of 20 million plus people probably accounts for up to 20 percent of the economic
activity taking place in Nigeria, meaning it has a nominal GDP of roughly $100 billion or a fifth
of Nigeria’s rebased output of $510 billion]]. ====>>

Abagworo:

Yes I know there. I hope you don't buy from those boys inside that mini market unless fairly used. 90% of Moccasin shoes worn in Nigeria are Aba made. Might even be more. Port-Harcourt boys don't wear Aba stuffs unless tricked into buying them.

Donmarrius:

Truth is that,its only Abia and Anambra,that can give Lagos a run for her money.

aryzgreat: The day I respect ABA was when an ABA tailor sew suit for me, people were asking me where I bought d Italian suit from. Trust me I have to enjoy d euphoria and swag by hyping the suit. Only me , d tailor and God know d ' Italian suit was ABA made.

I wish Abia will vote in a visionary leader to harness d potentials in that state.

Donmarrius: I have been longing for this.

Truth is that,its only Abia and Anambra,that can give Lagos a run for her money.

The administrations in Anambra starting from Obi to Obiano,are actually getting it right,but more needs to be done.

While in Abia,i was thinking Orji Uzor was either suffering from greed and hence,kept the state fund to himself or he is lucifer that took over the governance of Abia state,so as to imporvrish the people therein,untill i was able to understand that,T.A Orji,is the combination of the two,summarily tagged the "greedy luficer".

onwundiyoruba: yes oooo, i don't know what i did to her even the yoruba guy keep chasing me with cutlass.
