[/quote]Flood In Uyo Prompts Mockery Of Gov Akpabio’s ‘Uncommon Transformation’ Slogan-PREMIUM TIMES




[quote]Mr. Akpabio, the two-term governor of Akwa Ibom State, is well known for praising self as the man behind ‘the uncommon transformation’, a boastful reference to his administration’s modest effort at building modern infrastructures like roads, bridges, a few public buildings for government use as offices and a cinema within the state capital.

But the curse of heavy rain these days is pushing the people to show just how low they think of Gov Akpabio’s claims.

During the heavy rainfall people in Uyo were busy taking photos of a city ravaged by flood and posting them along with their satirical comments on facebook and other social networking sites..

Princess Etim, a female journalist residing in Uyo is one of the few who were quick to post on her facebook page, a photo of the flood on Atiku Abubakar Avenue, Uyo.
Etim took the photograph with her BlackBerry Smartphone, and mockingly tagged it as ‘Uncommon Atiku River’.

The flood on Atiku Abubakar Avenue not bigger than uncommon IBB River,” says Helen John, whose facebook profile indicates she is an assistant editor with the Akwa Ibom State-owned The Pioneer newspaper

A post from David Augustine, the editor-in-chief of Weekly Insight, reads “ ‘After just three minutes of rain in Uyo, our drainage system (the best in Africa) would do the magic and it will be so dry, you would think it never rained’ Who said this and to whom and when [b]….?

”]

And another post reads: “Akwa Ibom is working jare…[b]you guys aren’t seen nothing yet…uncommon rain, uncommon flood… ado ok!”

Gov Akpabio is widely celebrated in the local media and the Peoples Democratic Party for “governing Akwa Ibom State well”.

But residents say beyond the facade, the poverty and unemployment rate in the state remained among the highest in the country.

The largest employer of labour in the state remain the civil service which is already overstaffed.!”

Most state-owned industries have closed shop and the state is not known to have attracted any substantial investment in spite of Governor Akpabio’s several overseas trip in search of foreign investors

The Anglican Bishop of Uyo Diocese, the Rt. Rev. Isaac Orama, recently advised Governor Akpabio to fight the widespread unemployment and poverty in the state

Willy4Willy: It is because of his love for Yorubas,

Before 1999, the National Electric Power Authority,NEPA, had the sole monopoly of power generation and distribution in Nigeria. While there were suggestions on how to break that grip, Lagos State became the first state to do so with the initiation of Enron Power Project on August 1, 2009.

Today, the AES project is supplying close to 230megawatts to the Egbin Thermal Station, from where the power is feed into the National Grid.

The only issue under contentionwas that the power generated from AES was being transmitted to the National Grid for the use of the entire country, instead of only Lagos and this bordered on alleged failure by parties to honour contractual and business obligations.

Willy4Willy: That is why Yorubas have to grateful and thank Jonathan for all good he has done for them. For the first time Yorubas can afford to built international Airport.
During the Abacha regime Yorubas were hunted down, Abacha made sure many Yoruba eat Sand Sand as food, Yorubas became poor and many sold their Houses, but today because of Jonathan and the love he had on Yorubas, Yorubas are now prospering, people that eat Sand are now building Airport, Kudos to President Jonathan.

eaglechild: Some gives an unbiased analysis of a situation it becomes "IBO anger".
I don't get you folks, everything doesn't revolve around tribe.

Willy4Willy: You are right there are massive development going on in Sw never heard of before in the history of Nigeria, this is the good work of Jonathan presidency, just 2yrs of Jonathan administration Yorubas can now afford to build an International Airport, that is call prosperity. Thank to Jonathan for making Yorubas prosper.

eaglechild: This project is a despicable waste of public funds.
Most airports in the SW are ghost ports and barely functional.
There are more pressing needs that will affect the majority of the populace.
I wonder how many kilometers of rural roads, that project will construct.
The gov is masquerading under the name of cargo.
Which cargo?

TribalEAST: nothing has been done to honour OJUKWU even in the SE.

Teotihuacan: But then again much projects ongoing irrespective of feasibility means much avenue to loot.So the more ambitious the project the more ambitious the looting.How fitting to name the ambitious project after a chief looter.....

Funnicator: [s]I leave you to your stupidity. You are incorrugible, stubborn, ignorant, inferior, and shameless.
Since you understand not my crux about the status on ground.
You can keep deceiving yourself, hoping to turn this thread into what it wasn't meant to be.
I give up on your life[/s]!

Funnicator: [s] I have zero village friends for real.
Mr, don't ask questions about diplomacy. If you want answers, kindly open another thread and we can sort things out.
So long this thread is concerned, we are maintaining Nairaland rules by sticking to topic.
So, why are you celebrating inferiority complex? Why do you rejoice at the sight of oyinbo people with APC Governors? Tell us more.
You have none other APC threads to post? If you say this it could be understandable, then we can find you good paying job.

Funnicator: [s]
Topic reads, Fashola with british high commissioners at a breakfast meeting.
Watch the photos you posted, you would notice those white men can't stand the light rays penetrating their eyes.
What time is breakfast eaten? Does the sun rise as early as 9am sef?
Shior. You're a disgrace to whoever sent you here.
You don't even know when it is morning or noon or night.[/s]

Funnicator: [s]Don't derail the thread Mr ofe mmanu.
Stick to topic. You can create another useless thread for that one-just as you always do *winks*.
Face the status on ground.
You posted photos of fashola and british high commissioner, meanwhile hailing fashola and posting Lagos flags or whatever those things are, like some huge project was commissioned.
Now answer me this, is taking photos with british high commissioner a commissioned project/achievement?
Why are you treating it like it was some trophy or achievement? [/s]

Funnicator: some questions don't deserve a straight yes or no answer

ujoinme: uyo postcard depicting Gov. Akpabio's projects in the state. A good thing is worth showing.
if you like playing puzzle can you try to list those projects?

Funnicator: Don't be in a hurry

Funnicator: Don't tell me what diplomacy is.
Show us the part where they were discussing about diplomacy or remain a disgrace to yoruba race. Aka ofe mmanu race
smh

Funnicator: SMH. So posing and taking photo shots literally means they're talking diplomacy?
Ofe mmanu, I refuse to eat you.

Funnicator: Well, personally I see no international diplomacy being discussed here..

the work of maintaining good relations between the governments of different countries

Funnicator: So I should yell 'eko o ni baje' just because fashola met with some british high commissioner?
Indeed, inferiority complex is a big issue that's got to be tackled with.

Freewilly: I guess you don't know it's still a big deal for some people in western Nigeria to see a black man taking pics with oyimbo people. :-XI

globalaid: What is this for? This is absolute rubbish. One day you will post fashola poo here online.
