Sky Blue:

You are not doing ANYTHING new with this. There have been threads where someone tried to raise issue with regards to roads or something of the sort in a South western state, and before long, people were posting pictures of Aba and other places in the south east, as if that had anything to do with it. This back and forth bickering is sickening and hinders us from targetting leaders, no wonder they get away with murder. I mean, is this all Nigeria has to offer, online Igbo Yoruba fights?? No hour is complete on this forum without some thread degenerating into on of these petty and ridiculously childish skirmishes. And what is most disappointing, is that the most vocal of the bunch actually live abroad (some have never even been to Nigeria). I really can't understand it, it really is confounding. Some people will call it "tribalism" to make themselves feel better since in their own head it is not as bad as racism.

Paul John: What do you guys actually gain in displaying our stone age condition to the world?

It adds nada to us in any way

If anyone has a problem with the condition of a state, why not make your own effort/contribution in making it better, rather than responding to it in a cruel way

You are not even good at raising propaganda. You showed a picture from Ilorin-manger, Akure-playground, Oshogbo-children playing, maybe 2 from Ibadan-gutter. How do you compare that with Metro part in ABA? Do u expect gutter to be made with gold ( no excuse for dirtiness), or a manger to be made with marble? The last time I checked, [b]Ilroing, Oshogbo, Akure,[/b]etc are few of the cleaniest places u can visit,ask those who have been there. Abia is an oil producing states, why are the roads so dilapidated. Osun and Kwara dont have oil and are very beautiful and clean.

Abagworo:

@bolded. Umuahia is far cleaner and more beautiful than those cities. Aba is not Abia State's capital. Seriously I do visit Oshogbo, Ilesha, Akure, Ogbomosho and Ibadan quite often. I think they are quite clean but ancient.

Again, there is this kind of false picture of Aba its residents give to outsiders that when you visit you'll be wondering if its same place you heard about. I went there last year amidst our Nairaland arguments and took pictures which I posted here and those Aba people still claimed it was just one road. Another Nairalander(I think Afam4eva) was also there and was surprised. Maybe they have a complex or something.

Bia, who join you for talk between me and my son honeric? No try am again or I dis-NL you o. Ahia zuwa.

2 million: Why don't u show us d better part of Aba?, u r only showing us d bad part, show us d good part too n let's compare it with some western state capital n c which is better

afam4eva:
I think Aba infrastructure is deteriorating and things can be better. But the way some people paint Aba you'll think that once you just land there you have to walk through a dump to get to wherever you're going.

My brother abeg show them...

billyG: A pity this is d heartland of d igbo piple,last time i pass thru Aba in dec.pple wher buying surgical mask(s) which sells dia like hot akara

baysol: Hiiieeeeeeeeew, phew what a filth. Igbo the cleanest people from behind. Yeye noise makers carrying their filthy habits come Lagos. Instead of keeping their bloated mouth shut in shame they 'll still be boasting what a shame what a waste.

Abagworo: Everyday people will post about bad roads in Aba. Is Aba the only city in Nigeria? Every city has its challenges but IMHO, aren't people living in Aba good enough to open their drainages and construct their own roads? Why wait for Government? Is it Government that generates filth and dump them indiscriminately? I am aware that in Port Harcourt there are worse places but I can never live in such place and allow people dump refuses and block drainages that's in my neighborhood. Aba is not the State capital so it will be difficult to be the choice area for beautification. People there don't love their city. Calabar is clean not because the Government is getting excess money like Akwaibom, but because people there take pride in the cleanliness of their city. Same goes to Owerri.

So Aba people stop crying wolf. Repaint those houses, clear your drainage and use waste bags in refuse disposal before shifting the blame to Government.
