jmaine: Godswill Akpabio no dey shout . . You visit his state and his works ministers to your soul . . .

P:S . . . .The only downside I see in him is the brutal Godfather he is stealthily becoming

Eko Ile: This is it? Is this what's in that state? Is this what you people make noise about all the time? This is very shameful and disappointing coming from a state with so much cash and resources with little responsibilities.



smh...

Curious_city:

Guy, this is not Ikot Ekpene - Abak road!!! It must be Afaha-Obong Etim Ekpo road. Ikot Ekpene Abak road is dualized with street light. Last I went home, it took 20mins to locate my grandparents compound along the road.

Sharap mista man. Take a trip to AKS and see things 4 yourself. People like you can't appreciate anything good.

aribisala0: IBB did a lot more in Abuja why do Nigerians hate him??

smh...

aribisala0: Akpabio has no choice but to do well with every one eyeing his monthly allocation like a hawk
The question is is does his performance match his revenue? So far no one seems to be complaining.....,.

Eko Ile:


You mean I need to go to akwa to see more than the images you people are switching over and reposting in this thread? i don't think so.

That man is fleecing that state astronomically it's unbelievable.

Let me teach you a little something about simple math in proportion to service deliver..


Lagos N497 billion/20 million with huge responsibilities and infrastructures to build and maintain.

Akwa Ibom N459 billion/3 million low responsibilities and infrastructures to build and maintain.

So do the math against what's in Akwa and the images in this thread.


smh...

romanlaw: Packing my bag, Leaving this dirty and over hyped LAGOS and entering the next Ekene DiriChukwu to AKWA IBOM.............A.I on my mind.

romanlaw:

NOW WE CONFIRM THAT YOU ARE A CORE TRIBALIST. YOU DONT LIKE ANYTHING GOOD THAT COMES OUT FROM OTHER TRIBE.YOU KEEP OVER HYPING FASHOLA...BUT NOW U CANT APPRECIATE WHAT THIS MAN HAS DONE. I FEAR FOR THIS OFE MMANU PEOPLE.

romanlaw:

am very disappointed at your statement. WHAT HAS LAGOS STATE DONE WITH ALL THEIR REVENUES WHICH IS RATED THE HIGHEST EVEN MORE THAN GHANA AS A COUNTRY.

ehispapa:
i have been to that state and was marvel with what the guy did. the good thing is that the development cut across the whole state. Another governor doing exceedingly well is gov. oshiomhole of edo state. on the general terms the SS states are developing far ahead of other states. only lagos is able to meet up with the trend.i am saying this having visited about 27 states in Nigeria and i think the north is seriously lagging behind.

This tout..I was hoping you will turn a new leaf this 2013..

tawa89: u are turning into a nuisance on NL . There is nothing u can say or do here that will make enlightened folks like us compare ur governor with Akpabio. He is miles ahead.

aribisala0:

I don't think it is fair to make comparisons.Akwa Ibom is one of the least contRoversial states and its people are easy to govern. Judging by completed "projects" is not the way to compare DIFFERENT states. Some states NEED projects more than others because they are starting from ZERO and even with all this Uyo still has a lot of catching up to do compare to Calabar or PH.

In some states what is needed is maintenance of existing projects or job creation etc. Housing is a major national problem on which most governors seem to fail

. To say he is doing better than northern governors is not fair. They do not have the same problems or revenue. Providing education is more of a challenge than "shiny projects" and you cannot show that with photos so let us not get carried away. We may say he is doing well but to say he is better than others is like comparing cassava and yam.

Smooyis: I was in Uyo exactly a year ago and was stunned at d level of development. The Governor is doing a great job. I hated Lagos when I got here because I spent like a week there and really had a great time, and would love to be there aagain. All d best. Keep it up.

ask4double: u are trying so hard to gain relevance here, or don't u think so?

uzoexcel: When I was in naija as at last year,my work made me travel round southeast and south south states also including remote areas of this states and I ll tell u that my favourite place to work in was akwa ibom especially in terms of d road network...the good road network cuts across every nook and cranny of the state..also itz very clean and well organised..I thought calabar had d best roads till I worked in akwaibom for a month..also very good infrastructures in that state..thnz r cheaper here compared to calabar also...d hotel I stayed in called mandela queens which was worth 6k will be worth 14k in calabar..I aint kiddn u....kudos to the governor
And for that nitwit who said 'na oil money', there s a saying that goes thus 'u can only play d cards u are dealt with'....ciao!!

ypzilanti:

I was in Akwa Ibom state some 2 years ago, and i was shocked. If like me, you had visited Uyo in the early 2000s, you will not be able to recognize the town. The place is different and awesome.

If you think the guy is not trying, then visit delta and bayelsa states to confirm that Oil money allocation does not guarantee development. The guy is development oriented...corrupt, but development oriented. All Nigerian governors are corrupt. Corruption is not the problem. The problem is greed and wickedness. Obong Victor Attah ruled the same state, and did zilch with his oil money allocation. He is walking free in Nigeria and no one has prosecuted him for corruption.

Learn to appreciate good works when you see it. The guy turned the state around from zero. Once the power plant is fully operational and the Ibaka port is completed, Akwa Ibom state will be on the path to becoming a huge migration center in Nigeria.

ehispapa:
i didnt just sit and write and i am not praising the guy. i am not even from Akwa state, so i am not being biased here. if you remember that akwa ibom was among the states created by abacha and that aside i dont dont you have been to that state to say they are least controversial. its still a very controversial place, i tell you cos i have been their and i have family there also. my comparism is base on infrastructural development and human capacity development. though they have a high allocation, thats why i included edo state which have a similar sllocation with any average nigerian states. go to any state in the north apart from sokoto and probably kano, nothing seems to be happening in any form.

There are states that are 8 times the size of Akwa Ibom receiving a fraction of what he receives . How can you compare them

Eko Ile:


I guess you people are not nuisance when you run around starting threads and asking what other states are doing with this and that money, what developments are in this and that state.


You people are like babies. You love to ask, but never want to be asked any question. Get a life and get over yourself..

Eko Ile:


The fact that you appreciate and label roads and 2 bridges that doesn't represent or reflect enormous budgets after budgets development doesn't mean others have to.


There's a huge gap between the states yearly budget and the little or nothing on the ground in Akwa. It's called gross mismanagement.
