Imo state indigenes have proclaimed that mr hope uzodima as the governor of the supreme court, as the only election he won was at the supreme court and not in imo state,

As the people of the state did not elect him.

Pavore9:
Which crisis? APC and PDP are the two sides of the same coin!

Don't support injustice, the people Mandate should not be stolen.
Ihedioha was elected.

[quote author=adem30 post=85797798][/quote]What a fool keep supporting injustice, it will soon knock on your own door.

What's is the basis of the judgment from the supreme court on the imo governorship election?

Is this what APC is about? Stealing elections from duely elected governors.

APC is a fraudulent party!
This evil party has corrupted the judiciary.

This topic has been over flogged and I am here to end it all. Ikwerre is an ethnic group in River State in the old Eastern Nigeria but fraudulently said to be in the South South.

A creation of the Fulani caliphate to disconnect us properly from the Igbo because of the oil, I have never seen South South on the compass or map anywhere in the world.

We the Ikwerre don’t have anything to do with the Igbo, we have our ancestry through Akalaka (Destiny in Igbo language) who came from Benin and settled in the present Ikwerre land.

‘The fact that Akalaka was the direct father of Ihru ọha (Ikwerre). Iwhnurọhna, in Ikwere parlance, means the face of the community (town, city or village). Nigerian colonial history records that the name “Ikwerre” was given by the colonial administration when they wanted to acquire the Rebisi waterfront to build the wharf. Using an Ibo interpreter to talk to the illiterate Rebisi (Port Harcourt) chiefs, they asked them: Would you permit us to use the waterfront to build the wharf for ships to berth? And the Chiefs answered: A KWERULEM , meaning – “We have agreed.” (In Igbo

1).Bongo by the way, Real name Uforo Ebong

BONGO IS A GRAMMY AWARD WINNING, PLATINUM PRODUCER
Rising super producer, Bongo ByTheWay, has seen his work hit the charts with fervor throughout the last few years. His work on the Game’s Documentary 2 album even scored him praise from legend, Dr. Dre, back in 2015. Since then, Bongo has gone on to work with other big names in the industry such as, Jeremih, Omarion, Big Sean, Snoop Dogg, Ty Dolla $ign, Keyshia Cole, K. Michelle, among many others.

Uforo “Bongo” Ebong was born in Nigeria. Soon after, his family relocated to Providence, Rhode Island. As a child who grew up in the church, Bongo took to music as an outlet. Coincidentally, he fell in love with the drums, or the bongos. By the age of 11, Bongo began creating his own beats.

After graduating with a Bachelor’s of Science in degree in psychology from the University of North Florida, Bongo packed his bags and moved to Los Angeles, CA to pursue music full time. His start came when he and his cousin, Christopher “C4” Umana, formed a music production group, Lost and Found Productions. The duo received their first placement on Music’s Soulchild’s album, OnMyRadio. They went on to work with major talent including, Big Sean, Trey Songz, and Teyana Taylor. In 2015, Bongo and C4 amicably split, and the pair decided to pursue their careers individually. Since then, Bongo’s discography has grown, and he’s made a name for himself by working with top talent in the industry.

In addition to creating music, Bongo and longtime friend Roger McKenna, developed a clothing line, ByTheWay. The merchandise includes t-shirts, hats, and limited edition apparel.

Good one even if Nigerian air could start like this it would have been nice.

Hopefully they do.

Okay seen

Glad you saw it.

All they need to start Nigerian air is the two airlines thats in AMCON receivership.

AERO AND ARIK AIR are currently owned by the FG.
They could have rebranded those airlines and aircraft for Nigeria Air.
But they won't do that because the minister will not be signing contracts for new aircraft.
Hence no kickback.
Without an opportunity for kickback things rarely get done in Nigeria.

The Akwa Ibom State Government has acquired two new aircraft for Ibom Airlines to make a total of five aircraft owned by the state. Chairman of Ibom Air, Air Commodore Idongesit Nkanga (rtd), said during a press conference with newsmen in Uyo that the new aircraft would be unveiled this January.
He said Ibom Air had made about 3,000 flights since it began operations in June, and is now flying more routes.

Nkanga explained that before 2023, the state would float 10 aircraft, adding that the government had invested a lot in the aviation business to boost the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) of the state.
He revealed that the coming of Ibom Air had brought substantial economic improvement to the state.

“Within these eight months, we will have five aircraft. Towards the end of last year, possibly by October, we are expecting to add about two more aircraft to the existing three. We did that because it was towards the Yuletide and we expected more people to travel. But there was a little delay.


“Additional two aircraft are arriving this January. Within these eight months, we will have five aircraft. We have operated about 3,000 flight. We have increased our routes, because when we first started, it was Uyo to Lagos and Uyo to Abuja.
We have since added Abuja to Lagos and Lagos to Abuja. “We have done enough to make on time departure and we have made about 97percent on time departure.

“Before the end of this administration, we should be able to acquire 10 aircraft. That is the target, before 2022 we should expand the domestic, regional and international routes,”

It's still somewhat strange it's no longer Calabar.

Looks beautiful though.

What?

Rossikk:
Those drains should be covered.

How will the gutter be disilted when it is filled?
This is an LGA, may not have the funds that state capitals may have for such yearly disilting exercises which is not effective even in the most richest state capitals in Nigeria.

The key is to keep the drains clean and water flowing. Even in Kigali there are open drains every where but they are kept clean.

Akwa ibom drains are fairly clean, at least better than drains in 90% of states in Nigeria.

I prefer they remain open so private individuals can clean them during monthly sanitation exercises which akwa ibomites are very good at, without waiting for government to come with expensive cranes to open the concrete drains for cleaning.

St. ANNE CATHOLIC cathedral ikot Ekpene.
An Architectural masterpiece.

A sight worth visiting, if you are interested in old European architecture.
This is just one of several old colonial buildings in ikot Ekpene.

The first African catholic cardinal in Nigeria and West African, cardinal Dominic Ekandem was the bishop of Ikot Ekpene.
Hence lots of catholic relics in this city.

Atouke this is Akpabio hand work...

can you show us what your pay master Udom have done since 2015?

Give us a thread on the 15 audio companies you guys have been shouting on radio.

You know what, Akpabio invented ikot Ekpene. Clap for yourself.

Akpabio built the st. Joseph's seminary
He built ritman university
He built the state polytechnic
He built all the iconic colonial churches cathedrals in ikot Ekpene that accords the city its architectural prowess. Including the ones that were there before he was born.
The colonialist consulted Akpabio before they embarked on making ikot Ekpene the first experimental local government area in British west Africa.
There was no ikot Ekpene before Akpabio and there will be no ikot Ekpene after Akpabio.

This your Akpabio is a miracle worker.

Picnic on concrete??

There are picnic tables and chairs at the park.

Would have liked to see pictures of the Federal Government College, General Hospital and the council secretariat.

Ikot Ekpene has many higher institutions like:

1).Ritman university .
2). Akwa ibom state polytechnic
3).st Joseph's Major Seminary
4).Federal government college a high school.
