Akwa ibom is not named after any qua iboe river. It is named after God the original name is Akwa Abasi Ibom state. Akwa means great,Abasi means God,Ibom means universe. So it means great God of the universe state or great universe state. That is why the state is known as the land of promise

Da mbok sosongo

Let's hope Buhari will not receive the same treatment being meted out to Jonathan in a few years. Goodbye Jonathan you had good intentions but unfortunately things don't happen based purely on good intentions.

ujoinme:


You are stupid beyond redemption.
1).The Brand new State University that this governor built and graduated the first set of students just a few weeks ago, if i may ask you what is that for?

2).The over 6000 classroom blocks built and renovated in primary and secondary schools in the state with free and compulsory education. what is that supposed to do?

3).The brand new federal polytechnic that this government attracted to the state , what will it do?

4).The first quaternary hospital in Nigeria with its own school of nursing and health tech within its premise, the Ibom specialist hospital opened the same day as this hotel. What is it suppose to do?

5).The Ibom E-Library with over 20 million electronic books the first of its kind in West Africa, What is that for?

6).The countless job opportunities and on-the job training that Akwa Ibomites are receiving on the sites of these several innovative projects the gov. is doing in AKS is huge.
If i may ask you Do you know any construction engineer in West Africa that has experience in underground pipe jacking technology? Akpabio brought Julius berger to the state awarded them contracts to build over 7km of underground pipe jacked drains in Uyo and Abak LGA , which employed several locals in the project who now have experience in that novel are of technology which is alien to this parts of the world.

7).The structures erected in Akwa Ibom like the world class stadium, this hotel, the e library, the ibom hospital etc these are structures that are of first world standards and guess what that is doing to the competence of the local Akwa ibom construction workers in terms of work Experience capacity building not to talk of employment.

You should think before you comment, do not react emotionally out of jealousy or envy masked as pseudo concern. The reason i bothered to respond to you is because I thought you were better than this knee jerk outburst of envious comment . but i guess i was wrong.

Any ways Akwa Ibom Ayaya, we are happy with Akpabio and the things he has built in the state. we will have things to point to for his 8 years in Akwa Ibom.
8 yrs ago no one was talking about Akwa Ibom But today the story has changed. Keep on hating haters! while Akwa Ibom keeps on progressing

Bro mbok ado eyin Annang? Na only Annang man go support this governor the way u just did here

Hmmm and to think that she is not even from Akwa Ibom. I say that woman and her husband use jazz hold Akwa Ibom

ANSELNG:
the best system for Nigeria is autonomy for every tribe or nation. the nations can then trade with each other.Lumping all these nations together only leads to inequity which in turn breeds tribalism . You can not expect these nations to forget about their identity. Grant all tribes autonomy and city-statehood and tribalism would no longer exist. Nigeria would be developed.
do you think if the akwa ibom governor was from Oron he would not facilitate the upgrade of maritime academy to university ,refurbish the oron museum and build seaport and industries? you see only a true Oron son with love for fatherland can truly understand and develop their land.likewise every other nation. Akpabio is not developing uyo due to love for Ibibio land.he is just doing it for political reasons.

I don't understand why you guys accuse people of being tribal when they they care about the welfare of their roots and identity. Caring about your nation does not mean you should hate other tribes. Swedish as a tribe cares about the welfare of Sweden nation. Japanese cares about the welfare of Japan nation. so why aren't Igbo or let's say Idoma allowed to care about their nations? You cannot merge China,Japan and Singapore,and then accuse them of being tribal.it simply won't work. only africans accepted this disorganized,colonial and slavelike system. Nigeria will always be a third world country.

Bros this ur Oron this and Oron that don too much. Abeg stop am.

Op, can you do work in Uyo if contracted

I prefer the marriage of Ramsey Bolton and Sansa Stark. The process of transitioning from a girl to a woman not only made Sansa but also Theon cry.

I just say make I see wetin de happen for this thread. Hmmm na only one geh catch my eye here o.

Oya Twaci come take vote

My vote goes to Twaci

My fellow Akwa Ibomites, let's shun fraud wherever we see it. I am a proud son of the soil but to blindly support a governor or any other for that matter is something we should not do.

Which working project has Akpabio excelled in? Is it the e-library that is almost 90% empty at the best of times. The airport that is only 35% complete and am hearing it's been abandoned due to accruing debts. Same for tropicana and other phantom or white elephant projects. The stadium is not even in use due to debts owed to the contractors and dare I say when in use, it is only to those the governor approves.
Bricks and mortar projects like roads and hospitals should compliment human capital developments. This is not tr case here . How many cars are plying Uyo day and night. We should expect more rather than rejoice over next to nothing.

What are we comparing here? why compare oranges with pineapples. Lagos, a state and Uyo, a state capital. U'd be better comparing job creation between Akpabio and Fashola in their individual states. Akpabio fails miserably

the village witches are winning

i think i ve said all i have to say about that thief. #jailforakpabio

Ojeremi:
Was about to say good until I saw Japan.....the dullest will do pretty best in Japan I wanted to see HAVARD
Honestly I'm not impressed who knows after pushing drugs he bribed these mofos to get a 'EASY BEST'

**quote me and drown in the lagoon*

f.00l
I don quote u ebot!

Am sure honourable Patrick Big grammar had something to do with the girl falling for Osho. After all na him personal town cryer. Wishing them a blissful married life

Despite all these anti South African sentiments in the country they are still erecting new shops up and down the whole Naija. Na only mouth we just get

Ezedon:
May be he is from Akwa ibom

there is a major malfunction somewhere near ur brain region

NewNigeriaMind:


One I am from Osun state

Two is this comment necessary

All because you have oil money to spend

Finally, being someone in the oil and gas industry, I travel to Uyo a lot, I usually stay at Njim Hotel, I hope you know that's the second best in Uyo after la merridean. Also note that there are many Osun people like me working in the oil ans gas industry

Now this is part I want you to pay attention to,

Most of the butler, hotel cleaner, errand boys are the Uyo indigines themselves, they serve us well and I usually tip them

I will endeavor to increase my tip when I lodge in this Hotel

Cause unlike the Akwa Ibom Indigine, I can afford to lodge in the hotels

What arrant nonsense are you spewing. Just as indigenes are doing menial jobs in the hotel the majority of patrons to that hotel are also indigenes. Abi u expect oyibo to come clean hotel for Uyo? Did someone harvest ur brain cells before they were fully grown. Unam ikot.

That nigga is like fvuk it., lets go kills some Southis.

Olujimi Kolawole Agbaje for Lagos state governor come Saturday 11 April. And all the Igbos say iseeee!!!!

dipopooo:


What are you waiting for? Drag him to ICC na. The last time I checked lagos still belong to Yoruba.

#AllIgboMustLeaveLagos

do you know what you are stoking? you think there are no yorubas in the east and South South. When that rush of blood to your head begins to recede i pray you realise the folly in your statement.

Not only is Udom Emmanuel from my Local Government (ONNA) he is also from my clan, but will i be voting for him? NO WAY! why? well, very simple we do not want a third term for Akpabio. That is what we will be voting for (a third term for Akpabio) should Udom win. The guy is no doubt a puppet and we the Ibibios believe that Udom has sold his soul to that Annang man. Imagine going for an Annang man as his deputy.

We need to rise up and vote Akpabio and his cohorts out of governance for good. Enough is enough abeg

Eyin Akwa Ibom song idem!!

Am seeing plenty of my Akwa Ibom brothers in this team. We are def winning against the Bolivians and Southies

Anyone know the meaning of Ikemefuna. I love that Igbo name.

Pennyways:
what's the meaning of nsisong abasi

Nothing is difficult for God

I didnt see it

hmmmn. thats all i can say

So dem name movie after me. It will be a Hollywood blockbuster

Nadia don call am back home or else...

customized07: bia, what's you issue sef, we don't want annang and ibibio in biafra. Get it into your skull.

Good. Now go spread that to your kinfolk. They seem to have a different opinion from you.
