400billionman:


Have you visited Akwa ibom and Enugu before saying this ?

No need to visit, the world is a global village, i bet, there is a great chance that i can have access to info about Akwa ibom better than some man living in Akwa ibom.


Development is what to you by the way?.I guess you dont think it starts and ends with Overhead bridges and Shiny Roads.

Ogun state has witnessed a fast growing urban renewal programmes, if any one thinks development is by overhead bridges, Ogun state now has 5-6 of such overhead bridges in a space of 4 years, with the highest number of tertiary institutions in the country, and more are still coming, highest number of industries in the country, and much more are still springing up, you will have to prove to me that the state is not the fastest growing.

And you believe that since you know Ogun, you can brand it fastest without seeing other states ?

Okay.

Okay.

I am not in Ogun btw. Do i need to be in Akwaibom to know of the stadium built ? or the cinema e.t.c ?

my friend shut up. Enugu is an old rustic town with no jobs and good infrastructures. Is those shabbily dusty roads what you call standard? my friend travel and see. Ibadan has 3 big malls already, we are not talking about numerous job opportunity the city has to offer.

incredible what graduates all dream of working in mall

huptin:
Ogun state has more industries than all the other states combined. You determine the level of development by the viability of the state and not by fanciful buildings. A state like Akwa Ibom cannot even provide viable means of livelihood for half of its indigenes most of them are in Lagos/Ogun eking out a living.

You keep on mentioning 'one this', 'one that' and you conclude that Akwa Ibom does not deserve to be named amongst that fastest growing States in Nigeria. An Intl. Staduim of no mean repute is what you refer to as 'football feild'? The Nest of Champions that was picked amongst the best three stadia in the world in 2014?
Before I favour your prejudiced position with a reply, I think you should answer some obvious questions which should inform an informed position. Do you live in Akwa Ibom? Have you even visited the State in the last 3 years?
If your answer to any of those two questions is yes, then you deserve to be asked the third, who paid you to misinform the ignorant?
Now answer this rhetorical questions: are you aware that Akwa Ibom has @least 3 Public/private hospitality Facilities: 5 star hotel in Uruan, 4 star hotel in Ikot Ekpene and a 3 star hotel behind the cinema you mentioned?
Heard of Akwa Ibom International Airport with Maintenance, Repairs and Overall facilities?
Are you aware that Akwa Ibom has a Specialist Hospital, A Teaching hospital and Several General hospitals? Are you even aware that Akwa Ibom doctors are well motivated with brand new cars and other incentives like special allowances? Are you aware too that medical students, law students are treated to special allowances, like Law school fees, laptops, etc in addition to the general Scholarships and bursaries? Are you even aware that Akwa Ibom is the first state in Nigeria that has implemented the Judiciary Workers special Salary scale? Do u know of the employment of staff into the state services? Have you heard of the 13 month salary paid to civil servant every December, popularly called, 'Akpabiomba'?
Back to infrastructures and job opportunities, my friend do you know that Akwa Ibom has more than 10 Tertiary Institutions, including the recently approved Ritman University, and that about 8of those 10 are Public Institutions?
Have you heard of the deep sea port, heard of gas processing plant, heard of independent power plant, different training and skill acquisition centres spread across different nooks of the State, some public, some private?
Do you know of the facilities the Tropicana entertainment centre is built to house: the shopping mall and others?
Do you know of the cassava, sugar and other processing mills under construction in the state?
Are you aware that contrary to.the picture you are trying to paint, the development in Akwa Ibom State does not just start and end in Uyo, the state capital, but spread across over 70% of the LGAs in the State: Ikot Ekpene, Oron, Eket, Abak, Ikot Abasi, Essien Udim, Itu, Ikono, Uruan, Ibesikpo, Ibeno, Nsit Atai, Etinan, Nsit Ubuim and others?
Let me pause here for now.
Read, learn, admit

Not interested in your platitudes and empty essay.

Tropicana is a non competed white elephant. Its a football field with zero facilities for swimming, boxing, basketball, volleyball , tennis and so on.

The waste is lying fallow unused and not generating 1 kobo.its not even a 40000 fifa regulation stadium. Its a football field with fancy scaffolding.

Tropicana is another uncompleted waste, the only thing completed is the cinema.

Library is another waste. Even school children have to pay to use that library.


Again, akwa ibom has the largest budget and all akpabio delivered are 1 football field, 1 library, 1 cinema


Prove me wrong by showing us any other thing beyond that the few roads or keep quiet.

@Spyder aka ckenneths: I know that you must jump to this thread once it does not favor your reddish old crappy under developed enugu state. I am from Oyo state but served in Enugu state. There is no development in enugu state..no job, no infrastructure. Apart from Enugu urban with few shabby dusty roads most part of Enugu state is rural and highly underdeveloped. I could still remember the day we went to Amokwe to see a corp member. Ghosh come see backwardness and underdevelopment. I believe Chime was a failure as a governor because what he succeeded in doing was just to shabbily resurface few existing roads in the urban center. What about industrialization, health, education and overall infrastructural development? Enugu state people should elect a governor that should look beyond mediocrity.

Go to the same amokwe today and see many many roads, thats the spirit of Enugu, you turn ya back and we build 3 bridges

Ok

Ogun.st number 1? You must be joking!! That shiiiit hole??

Have u visited Abeokuta, Agbara, Sango Otta, Aiyetoro lately?

wiseoneking:
Just check out the five.
1 Ogun
2 Anambra
3 Akwaibom
4 kano
5 Abia

ubangiji:owho put abia.....are we talking about economic devt,economic growth or infrastructural devt

GBTYO:


Don't let the Tajus from Osogbo hear you mention Akwa Ibom!

Meaning what?
The state is the fastest growing then Enugu, Ogun others follow

GBTYO:


Just imagine how well developed Niger Delta States like Akwa Ibom would have been if their commonwealth was not shared among Aburos and their Ab0ki cousins.

Parasites!

c'mon! Let's encourage one Nigeria.

Tobilastik:


mehn. ..rule that shit out....ve always hear pple talk about Amosun that he's transforming Ogun state..

I was disappointed when I got to Ogun state last week.... come nd see bad roads, garbage everywhere ....their light worst ehhn! nd workers dy complain

so how's that a developing state?

U re a blind man right? May God heal u oooo

chairman, are we supposed to take this judgement as an outcome of what analysis?

wristwatch:


Have u visited Abeokuta, Agbara, Sango Otta , Aiyetoro lately?

My dear, ah was at Sango Ota just last week.. So yes!!

kettykin:

If Really you are talking about tanking then the indicators show that Enugu has one of the largest Construction sites in nigeria besides the fastest growing igr, compared to kaduna, ibadan and Benin city, Enugu was listed as one of the most resilient cities in the world. Enugu has sustained the growth of first class Estates and malls

we are talking about state, you are talking city.

Is enugu city a state ? Is Enugu not a civil servant state? As long as a state still has the toga of a civil servant state, the word development must be sparingly used on it, Anambra state is a honorable mention.

industrially, i will give t to ogun, wrt infrastructure, i will give it to Akwa ibom, followed by Anambra.


My opinion

Read, learn, admit

i havent been to akwa ibom but your reply it shows you dont get the topic clearly. Now answer these questions.

How many pple in akwa ibom state are above poverty line?

How many are gainfully employed in the state (aside the nomal ekaete house maids that we know)

how many citizens of the state attend tetiary education?

What is the number of the primary and secondary school enrolment? And how does the state do in waec?

How many towns/villages outside uyo has a bank and how many people (are comfortable enough to) operate a bank account?

How many people live in decent houses outside uyo (even within uyo)

how many higher institutions does the state have?

How many communities have electricity, water,etc

the state govt have tried its best to transform the state by building one of the best stadia in Africa, airport, and fine road expecially in Uyo. The problem is having more roads that cars, having airport without patronage, having a stadium without a league club or even pple who can afford the ticket to watch matches. Even the cinema in uyo had to be subsidized sometime so that pple can afford it.
That is why the issue of poverty cannot be wished away.

To me Lagos is still the fastest developing state followed by Anambra, Abuja (assuming its a state) etc.

mhizenugu:
My dear, ah was at Sango Ota just last week.. So yes!!

What of others?? Especially Abeokuta?

wiseoneking:
Just check out the five.
1 Ogun

Abia? Are you ok With no airpot? No shoprite?? No good roads Smh serioxly

Disagree. Abia shouldn't make the list.

Lagos, Porthacourt, Abuja is already a developed city/state.

We are talking of developing states

Ogun.st number 1? You must be joking!! That shiiiit hole??

Ogun state is more developed than all South East state. Fact.

Development depends on the factors in focus. If it is about influx of people then Abuja, Rivers, Imo, Lagos and Ogun are ahead.

What of others?? Especially Abeokuta?

No, never!!
