Drunkard, I have disgraced you.

Militant, when will you bomb the next pipeline? You sit at home gulping alcohol while the women in your family fend for you.

You also claimed to be an architect in the screenshot I uploaded but you're a fraudster. No-one quoted your post there and made enquires.

Shameless lazy, sun-scorched flabby-bellied lowlifer.

Bro am holding myself I think I can guess his state of origin

The SidDOGgg boy turned out to be a militia who lives in clay.

A thief who's constantly shot at by the Nigerian Army. His only hope of feeding is wielding machetes on street corners to steal phones and kidnapping goat for a #2,300 ransom.

Ask the OP of this thread (who is now a friendly acquaintance), the day he subtly insulted Akwaibomites in July, 2015, I personally took him and his tribesmen to the cleaners and most begged for mercy.

The OP knows my main moniker.

SidDOGgg earned his manhood by stealing a hen from a police barracks in a weird ritual. He got slashed beneath his eyes by jutting barbwires as he was chased by police dogs.

AKWA IBOM DAKKAK
Re: 12 Interesting Facts About Akwa Ibom State by Decrozz(m): 4:17pm On Jul 07, 2016
Op, Abasi odion fin.

My love for Akwa ibom and Akwa ibomites is unexplainable. My service year experience at Iffe Town, Mkpat Enin LGA is like a decade. The beautiful memories will forever linger on. I already have plans to pay a visit before this year runs out.

The people are simply awesome, the food and most importantly my students. One thing I dislike about most Akwa ibomites generally is their attitude to work and education. It's like they're being forced to learn.

On the whole, Akwa ibom is a dream city. I'd love to marry from that state save for thier marriage expenses. Kilode!

God bless Akwa Ibom. Mme ima fin eti eti.

Quite a balanced article.

However, the state lacks activities in the real sector. Not much of industrial activity going on. I wonder why Udom and Co haven't used the safety of the state to attract investments. Apart from Julius Berger and ExxonMobil, which other MNC has footing in Akwa Ibom?

Additionally, the cities mentioned are cities by Nigerian standards. Ikot Ekpene is more of an advanced town. Another issue is the fact that roads constructed lack pedestrian tracks as opposed to Cross River state. Language intonation? Only illiterates speak in such manner, however, there seem to be differences between someone born and bred in Akwa Ibom as opposed to an indigene bred in another state. Most lack simple work ethic.

Safety wise, Akwa Ibom is the safest state in the East of the Niger. Udom should utilize this to increase FDI into the state.

Your opinion bro. However, when one is the only person saying something different from others, something is definitely up. Check yourself well. Maybe you forgot your glasses on your way to the state.

Mostly politically motivated. Cultism isn't high in its institutions as compared to say Rivers or even Cross River. Ditto for kidnapping, politics is behind the majority; which is unfortunate.

I don't know about Eket or Ikot Ekpene, however, lands in Uyo depends on location and how deep your pocket is. Land(s) in the city center shouldn't go beyond 10 million (I'm poor at land measurement). Where you can get land between 2-7 million will be in the outskirts (about an hour from Plaza), places like Etoi which has under it Ifa Atai, Ifa Ikot Akpan, Mbak Etoi and a host of "Ifas" and "Etois".
Wherever you want to buy, ensure you see the clan heads to ascertain rightful owners. Akwa Ibomites are Nigerians, anything can happen.

TSOM:


You're from Uruan L.G.A? It took you about ten minutes to peruse Google Map to impost on indigenes of neighbouring communities to Uyo?

Pray tell, pseudo-Uruan-indigene, what part of Uruan are you (supposedly) from? I know my way around Uruan and I'd sniff out your lies as easily as a shark stalking a bleeding prey.

Mention who your paramount ruler is.

Don't bother being google-smart.

I heard that a lot of witches are there,how true is it?
