onyfrank: pls Abians, dnt allow T.A Orji to impose any candidate who wil do worse than he did. I learnt thats what he wana do.
Dr. Alex Otti is d right candidate abian needs

pleading on the internet is not going to give otti the pdp ticket my friend...he should do groundwork and grassroot mobilization.

prophetone so sule lamido is apc?lord have mercy...also do not dare change what you have already written.

konjakonja: If you're from Ngwa clan you should know about iko "awara". He was born and brought up in Arochukwu only for him to claim recently that his late father hailed from Isiala-Ngwa. If the elders in the so called Ngwa village has verified his claims and accepted him as a true Ngwa blood, then I stand indifference bro.

are you sure he was born and brought up in arochukwu guy?abeg read this biko http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/features/policy-a-politics/167264-ngwa-people-receives-otti-urge-him-to-join-abia-guber-race

Kponkwem: The people posting here don't know that Abia has a 30 year Charter of Equity on Power Rotation. No matter the good intentions of the Ihejirikas, Ottis and Ogah's they are all from the Abia North, Bende or Ogboo-speaking area of the state.

The charter has codified the mode of power rotation.

Even when APC leader Dr Ogbonnaya Onu was gov, he ruled from the North-Afikpo axis. Orji Kalu is an Ogboo-North man, Theordore Orji is from Umuahia-the Ibeku-speaking Central Senatorial District. Justice demands that an Abia South-the Ukwa-Ngwa speaking, real Niger Delta part of the state produce the gov in 2015.

This is the only guarrantee of peace in Abia. I don't want to see a return to criminality and banditry in the Aba axis, which is also the most populated area.
#AbiaMustBeRescued

trash talk...so isiala ngwa north and south and osisioma are no longer ngwa because they are not from abia south abi?you guys in abia pdp are courting big trouble if you do not not know.real niger delta part of abia indeed.....and by the way abia charter of equity you are yabbing about of 30 yrs ago mean a-afikpo,b-bende,i-isiukwuato and a-aba so if we are to follow it to the letter is is an isiukwuato person that is supposed to contest now that ogbonayya onu,ouk,t a orji have taken the turns of afikpo and bende and not this concussion that pdp abia is offering.

abdulkayus: FYI haters, they are taught in english. Kwankwaso spread many students around the world for scholarship. England, USA, Russia, Malaysia, Turkey, India, Ukraine, Egypt, Sudan and many private universities in d southern Nigeria.
Most haters dont want to see any good thing happenin in d north. And FYI Kwankwaso is one of d best gov in Nigeria of today both in terms of infrastructures and human development. Ask d non indigenes in Kano, dey will gist u. Its just d most of d media don't like sayin much abt d good development in d north except to spread bad news abt d north so as to sell more.
Kudos to Kwankwaso.

about the issue of non indegenes being happy with kwankwaso i came upon this http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/inside-kano-s-neglected-community/185278/

Kponkwem: Yes, there is Friday Nwosu, Okezie Ikpeazu, Dr Onyeama etc.

okezie ikpeazu the 'dustbin man'?

my problem with otti is his alleged closeness with t a orji......op you forgot uche ogah of masters energy but my problem with him too is that he reminds of ouk.

abagoro: Why not allow the poster show us the state of our roads instead of doing everything to derail the thread. I'm very much aware that the Onitsha-Enugu and Port-Harcourt-Enugu hoghways are death traps. It is good to learn that the Lagos-Ore is also same. At least Igbos were not singled out in the bad federal roads regime.

i doubt those pics are the recent pics of lagos to ore having plied that route in may.

op name the exact spot for the first four pics.

errrm...what are we supposed to do with this article...is not not like he did much as governor of abia state...in fact he is the reason we have a cretinn as the present governor.

omenka: Fixed!

typical blackman mentality.

peleson: Stay motionless and allow them destroy Abia state. What is my business. What other city or town do u v in Abia if not Aba. Aba is a center hub connecting about 4 major cities n more for trade, commerce, energy and labour but for the past 16yrs, u guys left it in the hands of demonic arm rubbers. Aba is the most industrials city in S/East and has the best topography in the whole geopolitical zone n I see no reason Aba should v business with flooding but see how dirty it has turn.. turning once a beautiful city into a slum. I pity 4 people from that state especially the Ukwa/Ngwa zone which has 80% of Abia wealth n resources

not sure what you mean by 'you guys' in the first place as i am not from abia...secondly aba is flatland so if drainages are not built or blocked flooding would occur so i do not get your topography relationship in that sense of being best(enugu is best in that sense).

Ngwakwe: Trust him at your own peril and moreover, in any free and fair election there is no match.

T. A. Orji should shove his ethnocentricism to his throat. He has been killing the Eagles that lay the golden eggs.since 2007

ok i get it you do not trust him(who should anyway)... Also as someone that lives in owerri i am sure you witnessed how okorocha entered the govt house soldier or no soldier so why cant abia people do same?

peleson and ngwakwe pdp has not yet chosen its flagbearer so i do not know why you guys are up in arms...t a orji has said that he is going to handover to ukwa ngwa so i do not know why the anger una dey display here....or dont you trust him to 'deliver' or you fear the other guys?

onyfrank: though becus of his experience, diamond bank has written him for tenure enlogation for 3yrs, but he chose to liberate d abians with his vast experience as a leader. He love abians, lets b wit him

well he should know what to do to win the pdp ticket...only then would the masses be able to have the choice to vote him or not.

onyfrank: have u considered Dr Alex Otti?

he has not resinged from diamond bank has he?..moreover he seems to be too close to t a orji for comfort.

henchamb: as for me ihejirika is the man. although i have met uche personally, i can say that he is too quiet to face the tout from ibeku or the agberos in aba. we need sanity in the state thats why i will go for ihejirika.

as for my ndi otu onu brothers (ngwa peeps) untill you guys presents a credible candidate no seat for you.

i do not think being quiet means that he cannot take hard decisions and follow it through...you cannot be succesful biz man in naija enviroment and make the kind of money he makes without being hardened or being 'quiet'....i think any ngwa person can be governor aside this four namely uzo azubuike,abaribe,nkechi nwaogu and emeka wogu....ihejirika hass not declared yet that is if he is contesting.

the problem this ogah might have is that he is from isiukwuato thus this issue of ukwa ngwa turn might affect him....but he is the type of igbo rich business man i like that is investing in his heavily in his home town and does not seem to make much noise about it and he is also educated too unlike uzor kalu then.

MaziOmenuko: @chino, these are old pix you posted few months back. I was thrilled when the pix suggested the level of ongoing work and expected concrete results after that; but none came up! All we heard was existing bottlenecks as a result of no Environmental Impact Assessment. An EIA that can be done accurately by 4th year students of Faculty of Environmental Sciences at Unizik and submitted within 2 weeks!

I passed that bridge 2 days back and still couldn't locate the new site for the bridge. Maybe its way off the present bridge like you suggested; all the same, I'll be looking forward to the new pix you promised.

Tag me when you do so.

Thanks.

truth of the matter you probably cannot see the 2nd niger bridge if you are standing on the present one unless you can see a km off....the bridge is an onitsha bye pass so the bridge is not in onitsha proper

OACKLAND: that's what I want to know cuz I pass Onitsha very often

i hope you know the bridge is not in onitsha proper?i hope you know the bridge is like an onitsha bye pass?ok can you see up to a km by your right if you are facing onitsha from asaba because that is the only way you would see it while just passing onitsha...next time hire a car or taxi and tell the driver to take you specifically where 2nd niger bridge is located.

i laugh at mynd44...put it on front page now and see whether people who have passed the present niger brigde on coming to onitsha from the asaba end would not tell you that the berger construction yard on the left as you enter onitsha is not full of activity with trucks carrying materials and workers in and out of the yard...the thing is the second niger bridge is a km away from the present one so unless you have an eye of the eagle you cannot it from there....only peeps who go there specifically to snap the construction going on would post pics here as that site is a bit off.

cbrass: But Kano state shouldn't have generalised here. Let the igbos be the only one to take the I D card afteral they started it

say what you know my friend...it was the hausa community in owerri that said they want to be registered and contacted imo state govt not the other way round.

i wonder why all these argurements...the onitsha river port can onluy serve small or medium size barges not big ocean liners...first and foremost if big ocean liners are to birth at onitsha,how are they going to pass under the bridges of east west road and present niger bridge?

Henrypraise: As at 1997 n 1998 I was in onitcha wit my bros. Sum tym last year, I also was @ onitcha, I can tell d diff even d traders can attest to dis.

@collinz02 I was begining to enjoy our discuss, were u @?

the problem was about security issues not whether goods where fake or not otherwise ariaria,alaba and etc would have also experienced the same thing...say something else pally.

Henrypraise: @ collinz02 I am seriously beggin u to learn from ur intelligent sister.

@ lynpetra lyk I said I am not against dem sellin substandard goods, I knw nigerians/ africans like "cheap article" n dats y d asian market is boomin in africa, how eva, I am against d igbo pple sellin a fake @ d price of an original n confusin/ convincin a consumer dat he (d trader) is offering him d best in d market 4 d least price. (I tink dis atitude is d worst n it has happened to almost all nigerians).

IMO, notin is wrong if d igbo/ hausa traders open a donkey meat market, let dos hu favour donkey meat go to dat market instead of sellin donkey meat in a cow meat market.

I remember as a kid I love a brand of meat called "TIKO" but immediately my mom heard of dis donkey trash den, she stopped buyin "tiko" from d market n instead she makes her own "tiko".

N gradually in warri, effurun n sapele, d "tiko" market has decline to a point of nearly extinction. Same tin applies to d igbo market, d onitsha market, n all oda market were substandard n swindling occurs.

No doubt, igbo pple ar industrous n de hustle but de shud be properly guided n truthfull in dia dealings.

i wonder where u get this idea that onitsha market is declining..when have you been there last?

classic.

HisRoyalHardnes: Ihejirika won't contest.

how sure are you?

HisRoyalHardnes: If you know Ogah or even care to ask, you would know he is an upright man, a philanthropist and an entrepreneur per excellence.
He has created and employed over 6000 people in very good jobs.

He would return Aba to its old economic glory and give young people a sense of pride by creating employment.

He is presently building an energy city in Abia-- comprising several plants and factories.
He built (yrs ago) a 500 seat auditorium at the Abia university.
His entire LGA(same as Gen Ihejirika) worship him because he outperforms the local govt, in terms of infrastructure provision/maintainance, security( equipped all police posts with a vehicle each since 2011 and vigilante groups) etc
He has heavily invested his money in Abia hence, cannot but increase the value by being a great governor.

Besides, he is "born again". And young. ( early forties)

Abia has no better material.

what about the ukwa ngwa axis agitation?abaribe?

oilykid: so the govt should be blamed for that

did the govt specify that drainages should be covered and provide funds for it?or should the contractors do it from their own money out of love for enugu?

this is actually old news...last yr october
