I disagree with some of the bullshit here , EDIKang Ikon is cross river , and Ekpang

They don't have any sea port

Edikankong is for Ibibio, Anang, eket and efik (calabar) just as pounded yam is for ekiti and ondo States, the ibaka seaport in akwa ibom is an ongoing multi billion dollar project. You shouldn't be quick to type bullshit

The seaport project is on paper for now, but there's hope of fruition.
Also, the immediate past govn. of Akwa-ibom state, chief Godswill Akpabio is from Ikot Ekpene senatorial district. The modern lustre of the state can be traced to Akpabio. This is a man who turned a village into a destination of choice.

Akwa Ibom isn't the richest state in Nigeria...
Just because she receives the highest Federal Allocation doesn't make her the richest.
There's a difference between income and value.

As much as I'll agree with you that there are negative characteristics of the state, but your first few lines shows you're a saddist and just out to killjoy.
my brother I stay in Akwa ibom state.i witness dis their weekly burial n its just so sad. D hospitals der lack basic things to d point dat ordinary malaria will kill d patient.

The men are very lazy most especially the ibibios.. They prefer to drink palm wine and dog meat from morning till night, their women are very hardworking and they are blessings to their husbands, they farm while the men only eat I know it is hard to believe and you can only hear this from a sincere akwa ibomite which is why their ladies prefer to marry men from other tribes most especially SW. They have numerous dishes but can't cook tasty meals in fact their is nothing special about their food. Afam soup is just efo riro likewise edikankong, efere ndise and efere nkwo except their white soup, ekpang kukwo is ikokore in yoruba and asa akpapa is just yoruba Egbo, ikoki is sapala in yoruba land. I cook them very well though with a little yoruba flavour and they find it amusing when a man cooks.

You shameless liar! You claimed to be from Uruan L.G.A in Akwaibom State but a quick perusal of your post history shows you're Delta-Igbo.

Your lands are destroyed by overflowing crude oil, you're vandals, dypsomaniacs, self-servers, lazy and occult-indulging miscreants.

You are a ritualist! Your capital city roads are riddled with potholes and your life ambition is to end stipends from proceeds of kidnapping.

Your people die daily from from explosions when they go to steal crude oil from faulty pipelines.

AKWAIBOM State is peaceful while your state is war-torn.

Only state where keke ply highway, I needed to buy ready made weddding iv, visited all supermarket in uyo coudnt get ,visited barracks road. Ikot epene road, Oron road nwaniba, road. Was so disappointed.
Only state keke Na drop, people rarely takes taxi drop.
Number of keke pass number of passengers. The only central place is plaza, we bring all artisans from sw. Only state that has oil and cost of cooking gas more than other state in Nigeria. Fuel was 140 all tru and2014/15. Playground (recreational center ) is like a big deal to them, only grass that's all. Majority of sw student in uni uyo are stranded admissions guys in sw.

U can finish all road projects.. within an hour u can tour uyo.. they are not exposed, their men very lazy,arrogant. Anyone from Lagos (yorubas) are like gods to thier girls,if U con get car,jeep. Dia best estate is just like bodija estate in ibadan,no private tv.. silverbird cinema Na like heaven to them. If u have keke for commercial u b big boy,can date enough girls, a 30 yr old guy can still be an undergraduate, mapoly abeokuta better pass uni uyo. My first time in market ,de asked are u a corper.. majority doesn't expect strangers, except corpers..most businesses are runned by igbos,they are lazy.

Akwa Ibom is cool,sure but I guess you're wrong about how they treat the corp members and Wht they are being paid! As I speak to you now, I'm still being owed a month salary by the state govt n I passed out in 2014 besides,they just pay #6000 as state alawi.
