A sleeping giant indeed.........

I went to Aba last week...... It is not like inside Aba is too bad. They still got good roads but the problem is the Expressway that leads to PH and Umuahia.

I always see Ikpeazu as NURTW chairman...... He is not worthy to be a Governor.

Mrfeel:


And the zoo is still claiming ownership of biafra why? Why not hand over everything to nnamdi KANU and see if biafra doesn't over take the zoo in just 10 yrs power supply, major roads, even the port Harcourt to Aba rail line that was functional during the colonial times, are all federal properties

Hotzone:
We Aba gwoda!
No federal presence in entire southeast but billions of dollars of relief and international support keep going to the north where the richest man in Africa is originated and also the two-time current Nigeria president emanated while the conquered ‘Igbos’ are left on their own yet, operation python dance can dance to okada man’s house and ‘bit’ him to death

It is easy to dump blames on Federal Government but you fail to see the role that the eastern leaders play. You have had governors since 1999, what have they done? Look at the east appearing like they got independence in the 2000s. If your governors have done what is right and the Easterners had placed effectiveness above sentiment the laudable strides of the governors would have drawn the attention of the FG to bring more infrastructure to the east...but when what the East does often is rant, rant, rant and rant why will any non-eastern dominated FG direct resources to the East? The day the Easterners start thinking as one, they focus their resources in developing their land and people and they make the East a force to reckon with that is the day that East will be recognized by a non-eastern FG!

MelesZenawi:
What Aba needs is road simple.

But due to the criminality attitude of Abians and her leaders the future remains bleak.


Let Abia state govt construct their road and leave Federal govt after all Rivers state constructed their own part by themselves.


Recently the Asaba road leading to head bridge was damaged beyond reason but as now the road is been reconstructed by Delta state government because they know the importance of good road network. Delta didn't wait for buhari or said this is a federal road.


So nothing like sleeping giant but Abia has so many criminals as leaders and they enjoy it if not how can people like Orji Uzor kalu stage a come back to power to same state he rendered hopeless.

efficiencie:


You and your Nnamdi Kanu cannot do more than a dead rat! Why do I say this. Because, even right now that there are resources in the land that can be pooled to bring about development yet these resources are not mobilized. Nnamdi Kanu has a good following in the East and If he charges Easterners who believes in the Biafra cause to start donating at least #1000 per month to the cause of Biafra by the end of 5 years the Biafra fund would have been to the tune of millions if not billions of naira. If Nnamdi Kanu takes the bull by the horn and starts effecting developments that governors and FG have failed to carry out with the Biafra fund I tell you the FG and governors will sit up and if Nnamdi Kanu is able to set out and actualize a plan to install infrastructure in the East with the instrumentality of those loyal to Biafra by now the FG and governors would have invited him for dialog...but what he knows how to do is rant, rant and rant and organize the attack of Nigerian public servants abroad! Biafra can never be achieved because those who regard themselves are Biafrans do not care about Biafra at all they only care about themselves!

FG purposely abandoned the east and suppressed it from developing more than other regions for fear of the easterners breaking away from Nigeria if the region develops beyond other Nigerian region, FG is always conscious of that, all these roads we complain about are federal roads,
During the biafra war places like aba and Onitsha were the most affected in the war everything was completely destroyed, Onitsha was the biggest market in West Africa at that time it was completely destroyed no structure was left untouched, state government have done it's part by rebuilding these cities what has FG done? Cause they were the ones that used fighter jets to destroy these cities

olasaad:


What of Owerri to Aba road? Aba in general is bad and the most annoying thing is those task force and other security personnel can extort motorists die. The state is pathetic

mercyville:

pls,can we have a glimpse of the SE before the war?
Was it developed up to the level of the then North?

Kingspin:
Shithole people

The gov is a failure what concern Tinubu

naijadrivablog:
I have been there. From Ogbor Hill to Umule to Pound road.

Cheap to live in too.
All these boutique owners go to Aba to buy clothes and shoes at cheap prices and come to town to sell at exorbitant prices.

I went to "Shoe Plaza" recently to buy a nice sandals which was priced N7000 in Abuja. Guess how much I bought it, N2500.

Aba is full of hustlers, old (you can see colonial era styled houses) and modern buildings.
Nice city!

Carkeyng:
Last week, a customer of mine, who was applying his business in Aba, called me and told me that he was in Lagos. When he found his way to my office, he started telling me his plan to relocate to Lagos. As a matter of fact, he has already found a shop near computer village.

Next, he started telling me horrible stories about Aba.

When i visited my Port Harcourt office some years back, about 6 years back to be precise, the story I heard about Abacha was not the different from what my friend told me.

According to them, the journey from PH to Aba is l smooth until you get to the border line between River state and Abia state. They said, you would think that's were satan lives.

According to some people; things were cheaper in Aba. But the Roads to Aba is like the biblical roads to heaven, so hard and narrow.

My customer told me how the roads to Aba and inside Aba have frustrated business men like him out of Aba.

Some of us grew up to hear of " Aba made ". A kind of substandard products made in Aba. That was before the emergence of "Made in China" Also a kind of substandard products from china.

The once strong city, Enyimba city has not received enough support from both the state and the federal government.

Aba used to be a trade zone for manners of items; leather shoes, rubber shoes, nylon products, plastic products, already made clothes, name it, Aba was the center of it all. Aba attracted people from neighboring countries and different parts of the country.

Aba went from hot to cold. From once a pride giant to now a sleeping giant.

Aba needs a bailout from the federal government. Nigeria can not survive only from agricultural produce. It is not enough to tell people to go back to farm, the government has to tell people also to go back to their shops. We have to make our shoes, our cloths, our toothpicks etc.
Currently President Trump is bailing banks in America.

The roads in and around Aba should be fixed. The roads leading to Aba should be fixed. There should be steady power supply to Aba. And security should be given priority in Aba.

Aba is a major industrial city.

Mrfeel:


You are not that intelligent as you think Mr man , those resources you claim are on ground are government properties, and you know nothing about an individual taking over government properties, nnamdi KANU was charged for shipping radio transmitters to East those transmitters are seized by Nigerian government, all these things you wrote up there are trash hand over our region to us let us develop it with no FG interference

efficiencie:


Shipping radio transmitters? To turn the full East into a radio station or what! Fools will always give excuse for their foolishness and that is why they remain in foolishness till they die! So to mobilize people to carry red earth from locations where it is excess to fill up pot holes requires FG intervention right? See your Aba market, many millionaires even billionaires make money from there but for them to combine their resources to ensure the roads are fixed is a problem yet they can sing "Biafra" all day like a canary! See as you just exposed your foolishness for the world to see. If you had remained silent the world would have thought you smart...You all keep shouting Biafra Biafra Biafra but you don't want to do anything meaningful with the resources right there on your land. Resources are starring at you all in the face and you waiting for FG who doesn't live or inhabit your region to come and be a good Samaritan. See your governors, are they not people selected from the same society as you? What have they done to move the East forward in the spirit of what Ojukwu fought for? What? Ask all them they will extol the virtues of Ojukwu but none of them are working together to ensure that the East is liberated from Nigeria and instead of directing your grievances at the fellow Ndigbo leaders who are receiving statutory allocation every month from the FG you are howling and whining at the FG like a starving stray dog...keep howling you hear, it is likely your children will continue the howling from where you stopped...because the legacy you all are leaving behind for your children is the legacy of howling and shouting and ranting for nothing!

Mrfeel:



My friend stop ranting like a mad man, we know how FG, northerners and South Westerners are doing everything possible to suppress our region and stop it from developing for fear they might separate from Nigeria, if international airports are located in East, if Onitsha seaports start functioning Lagos might loose it's value, if the Enugu to port Harcourt, port Harcourt to aba rail line are revived eastern Region might overtake other regions, look at the Enugu coal industries all these abandoned projects that will bring development to are region are FG properties purposely abandoned for fear of biafra, there are many criteria's set by the UN , for a group of people seeking self determination from a sovereign nation, to be qualified to approach the international court of justice, we biafrans are held under those criteria's by Nigerian government, and I know nnamdi KANU is using it to our advantage, Nigeria will be forced to give us a referendum for us to vote and decide whether to remain as Nigerians or separate once our case is well presented to the UN

efficiencie:


...seems to me that you are the mad man...now it is FG, northerners and south westerners suppressing your region! Are the FG, northerners and south westerners also responsible for selecting your governors? Are they also responsible for the influx of wealthy easterners into the north and south west? Are they also responsible for drug wars happening in igboland and elsewhere fueled by ndigbos themselves? You just took insanity to a whole new level dude...The last time I checked, the US was developed by Americans, the UK was developed by the Brits but you want the Fulani dominated government as well as the South Westerners to come to your land make it a paradise. Just imagine! You sound like the head of a house, asking for another man to feed his household and you have forgotten that with responsibility comes power and whoever feeds the home has the power of a household head over that home...Look at you all bringing in UN into your matter. Like the UN can do anything to help you all at all. No be the same UN declare say weapons of mass destruction no dey Iraq yet Bush launched a war against Iraq contrary to the dictates of the UN...na the same UN una dey wait for. Just imagine how inept you and your Nnamdi Kanu is. Ojukwu's dream of Biafra has perished with him because the people he fought for are busy raking in billions either as politicians or as developers of other regions!
