uyo not umuahia

grandstar:
It is easier said than done.

One of the product is pslm oil. The country needs 2m tons but only produces 1m tons. The balsnce is Imported.

Do you think Nigeria can make up the shortfall in a month? How long does it take for a palm tree to fruit?

why the fuccck should we import palm oil when adapalm in ohaji as big as it is is lying largely fallow? That is what Goke7 is trying to tell you..we should use our brain and force these huge raw materials lying fallow to to feed these industries..how you wondered what if adapalm ohaji and abia palms were functioning at full capacity?

futo is ihiagwa. Dats not d issue. did u go to nakede or passed through...did u notice mbize dat cut off d town from Owerri

futo is ihiagwa does not mean anything...just to let you know that I know that axis..how does mbize cut off the town from owerri mean that nekede is not getting urbanized? Can you compare nekede of late 90s to nekede of now?

chiefobdk:
have you been to nakede

I finished from futo in the early 2000s and I have been there this last Xmas...what else do you want to ask?

chiefobdk:
which nakede. nakede is a typical village. the only activity thr is d school thr. U people can glorify. tufiakwa.

who are the you people and what is wrong in him saying nekede is getting urbanized (whether it is the influence of owerri or due to polynekede)?

Ponponkon:
But after the supreme court verdict,all you APGA fans started the rumuor that Ikpeazu has gone to bed,now you've seen he's working. What is wrong in showing what is on ground?

As for flyovers;

Osisioma junction

Bata/Ogborhill (undecided but under review)

Portharcourt road

While Umuahia gets one to make it four

where will umuahia own be? Tower??

To be honest I understand what slidewaxie and oduastates are saying

Let me use the leather industry for example the shoes being made in aba are done with leather up to 70% china instead of Nigerian leather..why the fccuk do we have to import leather to make our shoe when hides and skins from cattle can be transformed to leather needed for making of these shoes? Instead the of transforming those cattles hides to leather it is burnt and turned to kpomo! We go die if we no chop kpomo? Kpomo self is not nutritious to start with.

joeprince23:
the 1st picture is in the same abia state, UMUAHIA which is the state capital

that is uyo

Ponponkon:
HURRAY NDI ABA AS SETRACO COMES TO TOWN FOR FAULKS ROAD ABA.
Indeed Governor Okezie Ikpeazu is delivering the dividends of democracy..
Who could have done it better if not the man that knows the streets of Aba?
Abia State Works Commissioner, Rt Hon Eziuche Ubani with Setraco expatriate engineer, the construction coy handling faults road... Inspecting the Uratta drainage system to link with Ukwu Mango drainage system to permanently take care of Ukwu Mango flood disaster.
Bro lalasticlala most Nairalanders see me as a noise maker but I keep on proving them wrong each day. Please give us some bottle of nairaland something mek we shack. Dr Ikpeazu reads your comments Abians the best is yet to arrival. 3 flyovers by setraco loading.....Biko pay your tax we need am

are you in the know of the places those flyovers are meant to be?

OGOg:
Southeastern states have taken the mantle of propaganda from the south west
This pop corn guy abi wetin , u need to soft pedal on this your sponsored online propaganda
Though as a resident of abia state , I know that ikpeazu is trying
But harping about everything on nairaland is nauseating
Don't be like chino aka schematics

it seems that is the direction we are heading to.

jonathanOz:
But most traders in all these markets mentioned still complain of very low patronage. It's very evident. The problem we are in now is not just dollar scarcity or hike but cash crunch as well.

I am just judging from the article...i also wonder if the traders in this markets don't import there goods too(except some aba ones)

http://www.punchng.com/traders-throng-aba-onitsha-lagos-kano-markets/

Someone help me paste the article please...this scarcity of dollars is a blessing in disguise for some

chudionu58:
Liar Mohammed version 2.0 , Have ABSG collected the N30 billion loan true or false?? Akpa ashi!!
By the way, are you telling me that Abia state govt reawarded the PH-ABA section of the Enugu Ph express which was awarded earlier by the federal government? If that's true, can you please tell us publicly:
1. The project cost
2. The contractor! or are you telling us he wants to fully fund the 30 billion naira project which equals the total loan stock he accessed Q4 last year.
http://www.nigerianeye.com/2015/03/fg-begins-second-section-of-enugu-port.html?m=1

Let's see how you'll Dodge this one!

I am sorry to say this guy but dont expose your ignorance like this..there is a difference between ph road in aba and Enugu aba ph expressway

Ponponkon:
You make me laugh,do you know Abia government has started repairing Ikote-ekpene road Aba a federal road? Are you aware that Abia government is about to flag-off rehabitation of Portharcourt road Aba a federal road too? My guy Dr Ikpeazu has blocked all leakages in IGR that's why projects are being executed

Scholes007:
abia is yet to borrow such amount.

I know aba has high igr which has gone unreported over the yrs but I find it had to believe there is no external help so to speak in all these projects flagged off and completed here and there

As for ikot ekpene and port harcourt federal rds he has decided to embark kudos to him because these two rds especially ikot ekpene rd are very strategic rds that just have to rehabilitated for aba to come fully back to life

Ponponkon:
Our people dey talk say better market dey sell em self o. Ask lalasticlala what Abia State suffered before the emergence of this great man. What's your state? We can loan you Dr Ikpeazu for few months. We are planning to employ the sacked doctors from Osun and reduce the death rate to bearest minimum in Abia. Our secret magic is Aba IGR.

you wan tell me say abia never collect that 30bn loan the abia house of assembly approve? Talk true

Ponponkon:
Haha u dey fear army?

haha no but I know how they dealt with kidnappers during that osisikankwu era and just after it..it was effective but not a pretty sight

https://www.today.ng/news/national/81583/gov-ikpeazu-vows-to-demolish-houses-premises-facilities-habouring-kidnapers

Is that why he said the above? He will need the help of military

Chai ndi aba takwara ahuhu oo.

mandarin please go and rest as nobody is buying what you are selling

Don Tee has to cool down on social media

Caseless:
do you have equal rainfall distribution in the south? What's the depth of rainfall(mm) in the south? Rainfall increases from south to north, I know. But don't lump everything together...even in the south, you have variations. This is what I want you to point out.

rainfall in akwaibom,bayelsa,rivers,southern delta,cross river axis has the highest mm of annual rainfall followed by Imo,abia,Lagos,southern ondo and Edo then you get the anambra,Enugu,ebonyi,northern delta,northern ondo and Edo before you now get to sw in general....no northern state whether central,west or east has the same annual rainfall with anywhere in the east

Caseless:
and which part of the north are you talking about? The amount of rainfall in the east can somewhat be compared to some parts of the north.

it cant be compared guy let us not deceive ourselves..go and google annual rainfall charts fir different parts of the country..this is elementary Nigerian geography

CyberWolf:
Must they build and run it?

what does govt know about building a factory it has no desire of running?build and transfer to the private sector it did not consult to know what factors they want on ground or their peculiar needs to run the factory? How is a govt sure it would even find a private firm to run a factory it built?

Only in a situation an mou is entered by a private firm with govt(usually owning a small percentage equity while the private firm holds majority equity) can it work( if greed on the part of politicians in the govt on question would allow common sense prevail).

CyberWolf:
But I asked what are his policies towards industrializing the state? If he has any policy, he should make it public because I don't know and I think you don't know too. Asking how old Umahi is in govt is playing to the gallery becaus a serious leader who wants to lead must have prepared his or her policies before even nursing the ambition to contest. We won't wait until he is in the middle of his tenure before we start asking what his policies are... I seriously campainged for him during last election, I came from the same LGA with Edon who was his strong opponent but we made sure he won in our LGA but that doesn't mean I should start singing praises like a brainless sycophant at this beginning because of few road projects in the state capital...

well Na you know but you see that aspect of govt building industries forget about it unless you can tell yourself where you have seen govt building industries and running it in Nigeria forget about outside the country self

CyberWolf:
then why do you keep blaming the Nigerian government for lack of industries? I don't know which law says government can't build industries? What are his policies towards industrializing the state?

Nigerian govt is blamed for lack of industries simply because they failed to make policies and provide the desired infrastructure and security to attract both local and foreign business simple..how old is umahi in govt? How come umahi made sure all the obstructions foolish elechi put in front of ibeto from revitalizing nkalagu was removed by him?is not to make sure the industry come back to life and job created? How do you know if he has no policies for job generating companies or outfits to start up?is it supposed to happen overnight? Is that not why he is trying to put the infrastructure needed for it to happen? You as investor go like put your business where there is no road?
I have already discussed this issue of govt building industries with you many times and I am not ready to go over why it hardly if ever works.

Intrepid01:
Babe drop your fight armour....The guy has stated his observation, it is not a fight at all. He's right up reflects that of an educated fellow. It is better to address the message rather than kill the messenger. WE ALL SHOULD LEARN TO TAKE CRITICISM.

it is a fact that exam maltipractice takes place in every region of the country. But I can bet it that you'll see collective malpractice ( Principal+ VPs+ Teachers & Students) only in rural areas in SW except private schools.

YORUBAs and IGBOs are not enemies, we shouldn't always appear defensive

let us say an Igbo person opened this thread with the same title because of poor performance of sw youths in waec what do you think would be the response from sw dudes here?

playdude:
Hello, what's your problem, by behaving like a graduate, I should see anomalies and keep quiet, is that what you were taught in your mushroom school. I was taught to be logical, rational, factual in my perspective to issues. T.A Orji must have graduated from ABSU alongside one of those secondary schools.. You guys are pathetic.. Rubbish

unfortunately ta orji is a graduate of university of Ibadan..i guess that is where his idiocy was honed

CyberWolf:
What is he doing about industries? In this time of economic needs, we can't be answering "Salt of the Nation" but keep using "uncle palm" n "Dangote Salt" ... If we are a serious State, Nigeria doesn't have reason to still importing rice by now... Anyway he is trying to lift the face of Ai that Elechi allowed to rot away, but he needs to do more.

it seems you are hard wired to think government should build industries especially in a country like Nigeria where it would always fail especially in running it..i mean you are still on this?

vedaxcool:
Reading with your eyes close is not considered reading, it is called imagining, Lagos State is a city, as a city in Nigeria it has the largest land mass compared to any other city in the country.

Lagos state or city or whatever you want to call it and yobe which one deserves more infrastructure according to the heading of this thread and op concern about distribution of infrastructure?

vedaxcool:
Lagos is the largest city in terms of land mass in Nigeria, the largest population in Nigeria. Even the East receive a lot of benefits from FG, so your point is moot!

Lagos state is largest in terms of land mass..bravo

Idrismusty97:
Ok we know, You control the world. But still lining up to collect FG allocations just like every other state in Nigeria. You control the world but you still want an equal share of projects with zones that are 10 times their size. The South East should have the best roads and infrastructure in Nigeria with your tiny land mass, You will spend less for infrastructure.

if only the north has the same soil texture and torrential rainfall in the east

Nonsense thread..this is like asking Lagos not to ask for more infrastructure since it is the smallest state and given more infrastructure to a state like yobe without considering population density

achi4u:
You're right. It is the combination of the two but direct labor takes 90% of the workforce being done.

ok I hope he is not only focusing on abakiliki and ignoring the rural areas as most governors are want to do..did enonyi recently take a loan?

achi4u:
Oga Erico, Eng Dave Umahi is not using any contractors rather he uses direct labour, there's nothing like warding any project to any contractors in Ebonyi state. If he says this road will be constructed or rehabilitate today or tomorrow as earlier as 8pm that work will start immediately.
Ebonyi has been transformed before our very eyes, I'm only waiting for him to complete most of the heavy projects like flyovers, pedestrian crossing and many more before I will surprise the whole Nigerians.
Please Ebonyians in this forum living in Ebonyi state should start taking pictures of the good works going on in the state.

I dont think so guy because I read somewhere where umahi complained about slow pace of work on the nkalagu rd(road that leads to the cement factory) which is actually a federal rd..from the article he was rebuking a Chinese company..i dont think a Chinese company in ebonyi is direct labour
