kipesco: Rivers State has one too

Daguccizgreat: Akpabio is indeed an under rated governor. He has completed many good projects and so many nearing completion. I stand to pinpoint him as the best performing governor presently and not the over rated fashola

gabrielmorinho: Any other state receiving the federal allocation akwa ibom is receiving. could do even more provided its a governor that loot and leave some change for the state.

Its a normal thing that should b done on average. maintainance will really be a problem.

for the past three years, i have been to ph, calabar, uyo and yenagoa, i realise realised akwa ibom state is just trying to imitate there father state - cross river.
i don't think they can catch up with them in the next decade.

prestigious states to visit in the various geo-political zones:
south-south : ph, calabar.

southwest: lagos, ibadan

southeast: enugu, awka

north central: lokoja, jos

northwest and Northeast: kaduna, kano.

REASONS WHY AKWA IBOM SHOULD SURPASS OTHER STATES IN NIGERIA. IN DEVELOPMENT IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS
1.She is one of the smallest state in nigeria with huge allocation if not the smallest.

2.good number of. her people are scattered outside the state.

3. Its leaders are fund of mimicking cross river culture of maintenance but cant keep up.
AND MANY MORE. NO TIME TO CONTINUE.

tokaiki:

Are you from Kogi state?

Akwafinaaa: Eyop always make sure you have your source of information ready before you ignite an argument.

Akwafinaaa: Ok Guys, the Gov actually said the cost of the Stadium complex was N60 billion last week on a Super Sport Documentary about the Uyo stadium, however he also said that the contract involves Julius Berger maintaining the stadium for the next 10 years so that it does not end the way of the other stadia in the country. So lets calm down, I am an Akwa Ibomite of Annang extraction. Cheers all

Arysexy: Akwaibom adigo mma

Weldon the uncommon transformation governor.

PDP powerrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Kjking: proud akwa ibom boy... that's ma governor

eyop: Again thank God you've admitted that the governor said that. Do you know the reason why? The financial records of the state states so though #62Billion is what we have there and not #60Billion and he wants that to tally with what we have on record. There's nothing like Julius Berger maintaining the stadium for 10 years is just an avenue to cover up since it's already known. For your information too,i am 100% Ibibio and from Uyo LGA to be precise.

Cheers
Eyop

iwonbaoko: But why una still dey do hausboy and hausgirl evrywhere. Your guvanor no try for that one oo. To tell you the bitter truth you guys are very backward.

andy24: Emmanuel Uduaghan, na ur mate be this

Aroca2013:

Don't mind them....very soon you will hear "akwa-ibom ayaya" like dey take am swear for them like national anthem. There are numerous graduates that are ingene without jobs and so many industries that are supposed to be revived are just there without any attention. Of what use is this stadium to the poor masses? There are so many things to be done in the state rather than investing funds like this in stadium as an avenue to loot money. I just they look them. Nonsense.

Eyop:
Wetin make you laugh? You follow OP castigate me that am spreading false information. Otuoke...i repeat am an insider and anything i say or post is nothing but the truth. Forget the issue of publishing news in the papers,anybody can do that. I will not use any nasty words on you because you don't know what's going on.

Atouke:

Until you can back up your claim with evidence they remain a rumor. Look above i did some search for you on the stadium cost since aquafima supported your N60b claim.
Akpabio can still defend the cost of the stadium even if it cost that much

Atouke:
where then is your proof of the N62bn.stadium cost

wiseonemomoh: why who na dey follow d MUMU dey talk,proof e no wan proof

iwonbaoko: 60 billion!! Why? Truth be told that is a waste of money. That money would be better spent on prOjects that would create employment for the largely ignorant people of AK. Even if the money was spent on fishing boats,Palm oil etc that would have been a whole lot better as anyone who knows AK will tell you. There are enough water resources there to feed Nigeria with fish and seafood with the right vision. This on the other hand is a decaying (depreciating) asset used to steal money just like the National stadium in Abuja built by OBJ and the Tinapa project. Alternatively he could lend that money to the FG which is selling T-bills at over 10% at the moment if the had no ideas

matify:

When I see performing governors like these, I wonder what my governor is doing with our federal monthly allocation and IGR.

I envy people of Akwa Ibom and covet their developmental drive and vigour.

kennygee:

yeah

iwonbaoko: This project reinforces the case that the North are making ; some states dont have enough money while others have too much money and do not know what to do with it. The case of AK is particularly striking because most of its derivation comes from off shore oil. MY point is this the state creation process was quite arbitrary Why should AK have a greater claim on off shore derivation money than Cross River ; these are the same people in many ways. If oil were to be discovered off the coast of Lagos I believe Ogun state should have a claim but That is a LOCAL debate. On the National front if we are to continue as One nation this kind of disparity is wrong especially when it is being blatantly wasted and stolen Yes there should be derivation but there must be some mechanism of FORCED SAVING and INVESTMENT for future generations such as is the case in NORWAY. A stadium is just not a priority at a time of such suffering and insecurity in the country. If there is nothing to do why not save the money 60 billion would build 12000 at 5 million each and create thousands of jobs. This is just shameful but is exactly what happens when too much power is concentrated in one person. What about the Ibaka seaport he made so much noise about? Is that not more sensible than this?
