Why Is Abia God's Own State? by ManofGod3(m): 7:39am On Jul 26, 2011 |
I have wondered why Abia is called God's own State when God's seat is far away from the state. No road network, no devidence of democracy and so on. What do we do to help the state so that God's hand will return then we will be proud to say ABIA IS GOD'S OWN STATE. |

I thought God left Abia in 2010.They should change their moniker to "Commercial center". It sounds more befitting than "God's own state". |
Re: Why Is Abia God's Own State? by aljharem(m): 7:45am On Jul 26, 2011 |
afam4eva: commericial center ko economic center ni @OP Man of God leave the name of the state the way it is. God will do his will on the state and Nigeria. |

@tpn Is that not the name of a movie? |
Re: Why Is Abia God's Own State? by AndreUweh(m): 8:10am On Jul 26, 2011 |
Abians believe in God hence God's own state. |

How can they believe in God and Theodore Orji at the same time. |

Abia is found in the Bible (KJV, I think) hence God's own state. http://www.bible-history.com/links.php?cat=43&sub=934&cat_name=Bible+Names+A-G&subcat_name=Abia But Abia is an acronym of 4 big LGs before Ebonyi was created. Aba. Bende Isuikwuato Afikpo( But Afikpo has been moved to Ebonyi state.) |

It is always the case with whatever is named the name of God; devil will not want it to be actualised but we have to fight the demons and not to beg them beacause the kingdom of God suffereth violence, Abia is indeed a God's own state and God will deliver his people with time |
Re: Why Is Abia God's Own State? by seanet02: 11:59am On Jul 26, 2011 |
It is because Abia is the Head Office of Kidnapping, human eating and fake drugs. Ibosians worship social vices |
Re: Why Is Abia God's Own State? by Bawss1(m): 2:58pm On Jul 26, 2011 |
I think that this is an inappropriate use of the name of the Creator. |

Re: Why Is Abia God's Own State? by ChinenyeN(m): 3:47pm On Jul 26, 2011 |
God had nothing to do with Abia, from the time of it's inception up to now. |
Re: Why Is Abia God's Own State? by victorazy(m): 4:08pm On Jul 26, 2011 |
Is because Abia was found in the Bible |
Re: Why Is Abia God's Own State? by omaojo1: 4:22pm On Jul 26, 2011 |
because it is found in the Holy Bible. Luke 1 vs 5. 'THERE was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth'. |

victorazy:Same thing i heard as well but it is just so lame. America is called God's own country because the founding fathers where devoted Christians. |

Re: Why Is Abia God's Own State? by pek(m): 4:42pm On Jul 26, 2011 |
It was Ogbonna Onu that first called Abia God's own state and his reason was because the name Abia appeared in the Bible. (cant remember the passage). henry101:this is not true. My uncle was the secretary to the committee in the creation of Abia state. ABIA acronmy of Aba, Bende, Isikwuato and Abiriba. Your argument that it is from the 4 big LG does not hold water because Isiala Ngwa is far bigger than Isikwuato and Bende is very small. The elders chose the four towns i mentioned because they represent the four zones of present day Abia state. |

Re: Why Is Abia God's Own State? by chimaike: 5:03pm On Jul 26, 2011 |
The word "abia" or a similar word is in the bible, hence the name Abia, since the name of the state is gotten from bible, they gave it God's own state. |
Re: Why Is Abia God's Own State? by chimaike: 5:08pm On Jul 26, 2011 |
though the name was not directly derived from the bible, the "ab" letters comes from the first two letters of aba, while the "ia" letters comes from the last two letters of umuahia. Aba and Umuahia are the two major cities of the state. |
Re: Why Is Abia God's Own State? by chimaike: 5:13pm On Jul 26, 2011 |
chima ike: Sorry, i should have said since the name of the state is in the bible, hence it was called God's own state. |

Kenezi: Quite true. George Washington hardly ever attended church. Thomas Jefferson rejected much of Christianity more mythological aspects. He even went so far as editing the bible by removing all of the supernatural events/apparent contradictions from the New Testament (Jeffersonian Bible) to extract the more philosophical lessons of Jesus. Needless to say he was a staunch secularist. Thomas Paine was pretty much an atheist in all but name. John Adams and his sons were Unitarians a group of that most standard Nigerian Christian would express undisguised hatred for. Benjamin Franklin considered himself a christian but he did not appear subscribe to most of the theological doctrines such as hell, the trinity, or original sin. He did subscribe to many puritanical beliefs in so far as they were about doing good works(thrift,charity,temperance etc. . .). This is not to say that most of the people that took part in the Constitutional Convention of 1787 rejected most of Christianity. Most people were Methodist,Baptist, Catholics or some other standard denomination. |

I Think the Slogan ''God's Own State" came about the era of the first Government, when things were much better!! But the Emergence of the 'Orji's' haven't been helping that name and Abia at Large!! |
