stronger9: I live in Aba. T. A. Orji is the the worst thing to happen to abia state since the creation of the state. the man is not even fit to act as a councillor. What we have in abia state is photocracy, govt by photographs. The man would display some photographs of some prototype houses and claim that those are the dividends of democracy. He spends a substantial part of abia money and pays ait, Silverbird and channels TV stations to orchestrate his imagined achievements. His only interest is in collecting revenues from the people. He is a monumental failure, the worst ever. Pls do not condemn the OP, the pictures are true and is a microcosm of the macrocosm of the state of aba, and may God bless her.

What good places? The places built by Individuals or by govt.
Someone once came to this forum and posted pictures of PZ junction as evidence that T.A. is working.
Is The filling station at PZ built by TA.?
Is the Crest Hotel built by TA?
Is Eko Bank built by TA?
Abeg, let's shun all these OP has a motive and say the truth for once.

Afam4eva:
I'm not against the OP exposing the incompetence of the Abia state government but the title of the post does not do justice to that. She's giving us the impression that the pictures are from her visit to Abia and i find it strange that those images are the only images she saw in Abia. It would have made more sese if the title of the thread was "Pictures of the bad leadership in Abia".

LastApostle: Aba is a cosmopolitan area that the state government with it meagre resources cannot conveniently solve it urban renewal problems.

Afam4eva: It's obvious the OP had an agenda when she brought out her cameras to take pictures. of course these pics are mostly like those of Aba but you can't travel to Aba and tell me that these are the best pictures you could take.

collynzo2: I cannot spend one night in Aba, my skin crawls driving past there alone. The dirtiest place in Nigeria.

customized13: you are nt getting me, I haven't said anythng abt the state govt, what am saying is there are stil good places, wch both of us kw. I cnt jst start snapping pictures of bad places in onitsha, port harcourt, lagos and evn uyo (though I cnt waste dat precious time sha), we all kw aba has bad roads, d state govt isn't doing well and all dat, bt he should hv snapped d good places 2, rather than jst trying 2 downgrade d city, I hv gone 2 d major cities ind southern part of nigeria, this shit isn't peculiar 2 abia state (though it shouldn't b an excuse) bt dnt make it sound as if the whole of aba or abia state is a slum, cos of few pix.

stexsy: life is a choice, d OP decided to show d bad side of aba, y kill her, go n snap ur own n show us..

FreeGlobe: The OP I believe is one of the detribalized yorubas on nairaland. I have no problem with her posting these pictures, I believe its not borne out of malicious intent unlike fellow yorubas on nairaland. I will however advise maintain her privacy outside nairaland as the Abia State govt will not take this likely.lol. I just have a problem with the malicious intent of the nairaland mods who took this to the hompage. Such threads as Fashola is a dictator - PDP, Aregbesola declares public holidays for traditional worshippers and others have not been accorded the same treatement.
However, the south east governors are all rogues and its high time we started voting credible and ambitous people to hold offices in the south east. We should set the example. People like Peter Obi, Theordore orji, Martins Elechi have no business with governance.

Abagworo: It is easy to detect biased pictures. OP gave him/herself up by snapping dirty open drainage. IMHO places like these shouldn't be in Nigeria 60 years after independence and Aba seems to have lots of it. Aba's case is too complex for only government to deal with because there was population explosion and people moved into surrounding villages and built houses without roads and proper drainage. Ehere and Ohanze are towns in Obi Ngwa LGA and not Aba though.

Chris†Kid:
This one is even small. The state of roads in south east is pathetic. You guys should see the ones in Anambra. I'll make a thread for it one of these days. If it'll take mockery from others to get them back on track, I don't mind.

@ Afam,

I think you are the one that is taking this personally, why does this bother you so much? I am quite intrigued because recent posts from some Nairalanders suggested that Aba was more developed than most of the SW, I will commend the OP for shedding more light on the state of affairs in Aba. If anyone is angry about these pictures, then they direct their anger to the leaders who should take responsibility for the pathetic state of that place

okpara ugo:

Sharap if you have notin to say. The motive is for the state govt to wake up to its responsibilities in Aba and stop building monuments in Umuahia..

Abagworo:

Right from the day I was born, I've always heard of Aba as having bad roads. Now I'm grown and I've known Aba and I've seen with my own eyes that it has bad roads. Check all over Nairaland and you'll see pictures posted by Aba residents about how bad the Governor has been to Aba even though everyone seem to accept one fact that the bad roads of Aba preceded this government. Even Mbakwe was called the weeping Governor because he wept for Aba roads. Even MASSOB came out to say the same thing.

Aba however is not all bad and is actually one of the most commercially and industrially developed city in Nigeria. It houses more SMEs than all the cities in Nigeria. About 20,000 cottage shoe industries and over 35,000 garment factories. That is coupled with the normal Unilever, Pz-cussons, Guiness, NBL, 7up, Colgate and other larger industries.

COOLDUN:


You should just stop ranting and commend this OP for a job well done, i can see that you are one of those people that support evil and incompetence of the devilish rulers you call your leaders.

Where did you expect the OP to snap? Government house? Governor’s office? His wife's kitchen? And Orji Uzo Kanu's home at Igbere right?

This is one of the good things the OPs in this forum are doing that makes me happy, OP, God bless you for exposing these pits of hell which the government sponsored hungry journalists are hiding for a just peanut.

Those who hate truth must surely be covered in a pit. Truth is bitter but it saves more than lie. OP, please during your next visit extends your search light to other areas. God will punish the rulers and their entire generations for rewinding the development of this country to 10 centuries backwards. OP, I love this as an Igbo man who love and live in truth. God bless you. More greases and batteries to your elbow/camera my dear.
