Thank God

More kerosene to our people in our abia

sarrki:


Bae am not a Tinibu fan

I just feel he's hated by pdp goons for his political view

Tinubu with his pride and all that laid the foundation for the hatred!!!

He gladly accepted whatever name not thinking about the impact in the future!!!

His actions and body language shows what he thinks about others

So the feeling is mutual!!!

HELP!.. Inec hasn't paid its adhoc staffs in Aba,Aba state(osisioma local govt area) uptil date.. Is this to be expected?.. Its quite disheartening

Lol promises are made to be broken...well done

1 million jobs from where? In what sectors?

Dis wan don begin dey scam from day 1.

Please do something about Aba township roads. Forget about conjuring 1million jobs, Aba people will surely creat jobs for themselves. It is unthinkable that a governor can be comfortable leaving Aba roads in condtions they are presently.

Laughable

budaatum:
1 milion jobs in a state with a population of 2,833,999!

I guess he will employ them from other states. Impressive. I can abandon my plans to migrate to that yeye cold Canada. I'm migrating to Abia State instead!

Oga this is not the real population of Abia, the NPC was not serious, I, myself was not counted coupled with the instruction given by MASSOB to boycott the census. Go to Abia and observe the population. Only Aba and environs is close to 1.8million.

sarrki:
The governor of Abia State, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu promised that his administration would create 1million jobs for Abians within the next four years of his administration.

This is even as he promised to consolidate on the achievement recorded by his administration in the last four years.

Ikpeazu stated this at the Umuahia Township stadium during his inauguration speech after being sworn-in for second term in office.

The governor who also commended President Muhammadu Buhari for supporting the vision of the Enyimba Economic City to be sited in three Local Governments of Ugwunagbo, Ukwa and East and West respectively promised to sustain the ease of doing business in the state.

Ikpeazu who agreed that much is needed to be done to better the lots of the indigenes of the state, pledged to do all that he could to ensure that Abians enjoy dividend of democracy.

“In 2015 we initiated some of the enablers which we think were going to be critical to the framing up of our pillars of development. These enablers include health, security, ease of doing business and tax reforms.

“I stand here to pledge that I am ready to do more and that I shall give my best to the service of this state.

“We have taken note of the areas that we fall short and ran an internal review of our processes with a few towards adjusting our systems to yield better quality of services. We have noted areas that we got it wrong and we are committed to make amends.

“In the health sector, I am happy to say that despite the fact that there is so much to be done, we have been able to stamp our authority in ensuring that today, Abia has a robust intensive care facility that responds to even those facing one health challenge or the other.

“We have tried to renovate four General Hospitals at Okipke, Ikwuano, Nkporo and Arochukwu and we hope that we will be able to add more to this list within the first hundred days in office of this administration.

“For ease of doing business, in 2015 Abia was number 34 among the 36 States of Nigeria, but I am proud to say that a few months ago, this state was called to receive an award from World Bank which was handed over by no other person than the Vice President of the country, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo as one of the five most improved states in terms of ease of doing business in Nigeria.

“The primary focus of our administration in the next four years will be the consolidation on the achievement of our first tenure, completing all ongoing projects, creating avenues for our teeming youths to have jobs and be self-sufficient. We are poised to create 1million jobs before our tenure is over. Our administration is a trans-generational one. While we meet the needs of the youths today, we will ensure that we lay a solid foundation for tomorrow for the sake of our children.

We will continue to run on the five pillars of development and enablers and they will remain our guiding principles even in the days ahead.

I am happy to announce to you today that Abia State has become a better corporate citizen in the comity of states. We are now respected and appreciated as the SME capital of Nigeria and even beyond as we have taken our advocacy for other African countries for them to take note.

The World Bank is collaborating with Abia State in the area of water, sanitation and rural infrastructure. This added impetus will begin to yield fruits before the end of year 2019 and our people will be better for it.

Even in the area of direct investment, Aba and Abia State is the new pride destination in our country today.

I can’t end this speech without mentioning our strides in Enyimba economic city. You must have heard me talk about the Enyimba Economic City. This will be the legacy of this administration; our flagship project, the signpost of the size of our vision.

“The Enyimba Economic City is spread across over 9,800 hectares of massive industrial area, spanning through three local government areas of Ugwunagbo, Ukwa East and West areas.

“We anticipate that 650, 000 jobs will be created, 300, 000 units of urban housing will be built. 1.5million people will live and work within the Enyimba Economic City. 2000 industrial businesses and units will be established there. An annual output value of about $5billion will be realized in this city.

“The pointer to the value of this project is that the federal government of Nigeria has invested into it by taking 20percent equity worth over 100bn. The multiple effects of the project on the rest of Abia are better imagined. This project will certainly succeed.

“I will like at this juncture to thank President Muhammadu Buhari for looking beyond partisan politics to give his full blessing to the Enyimba Economic city. As a people, we are eternally grateful.

“Ndi Abia, once again, our destiny is in our hands, let us seize it for the sake of today, posterity, history and generations unborn.”

Good one, we are strongly behind you.

Aba is a disgusting sewage pit toilet while Umuahia is a glorified village. Abia state is a dead state. Since 1999 the state has continually made the list as the worst state in Nigeria. See Aba

What!? You "boycott the census"!?

What is wrong with you people!? Don't you know that if you boycott census you boycott the dividends of democracy? How can we allocate to you if we don't know how many you are?! Now see! No roads! No development! I bet no jobs or schools neither and everyone is calling you the Kerosine State!

Have you no shame in your state, or are these MASSOB your gods, deceiving you like those leaders in the North are deceiving their people and who do not allow the alimanjeris to go to school so they too don't benefit from democracy while the leaders themselves pocket all the dividends and use it to send their own children to American schools and London hospitals? In my state we will say you are giving yourself small pounded yam, except in your case, you are giving yourselves no pounded yam at all!

I have to call my own teacher leokid866, to come and help me educate you to become ex-boycotters, like I was educated, but while we wait let me tell you a secret!

When census people come to the Orolu Kingdom, we go to Kabiyesi and ask him to give us money so that we can rent hotel for them and hire transport to drive them around and feed them for God forbid hunger catch them and they leave without counting us properly! Besides, Orolu Kingdom is made up of many towns and villages apart from Ifon Osun and if we don't drive them to the outer towns and villages they will just count Ifon Osun and claim that is the population of the entire Orolu Kingdom and the allocation of the Orolu Local Government will be tiny and small!

Before we drive them to the outer towns and villages for them to count for census, we honour them at our Royal Palmy Joint where palmy for the gods is drunk by the gods and the king alone, we tell them, and so they don't get thirsty while they do their very important counting.

And when we get to the towns and villages it might be that the people there have gone to their farms leaving ghosts and chicken and goats behind. So we tell the census people that it is the custom of my people for a chicken to represent 500 people when they are working in the farm, and 1000 people is represented by one goat and a ghost is 10,000 people, so they should count the chickens and the goats and do the maths, and we will count the ghosts for them because only indigenes can see our ghosts, and when they add it all up, our population is big and our allocation is proportional big too and we get to enjoy the dividends of democracy like everyone else in my state who is doing the same thing. In fact, I hear that in Ẹdẹ their ghosts represents 100,000 people, and in neighbouring Ilobu, they count the cockroaches and the rats because they dont have as much land or outer villages like the Orolu Kingdom.

And there is poor you in Abia State, boycotting census because MASSOB told you to boycott census, and now, no jobs, no schools, no roads, no democracy dividends in your Kerosine State!

My fellow Nigerian, na wa for you o!

I did not boycott it, though I supported MASSOB but I was totally against the boycott policy. I wanted to be counted but I was not reached.

You are one of the wiser ones. Only stupid people boycott.

Next time please force them to count you so they don't give your share to their own children.
