Oh, so you are saying every district or village in Akwa Ibom has enough bridges, so they don't need any more? Or that they have enough roads, hospitals and power projects, so there is no need for more? Can you listen to the half-baked excuses you are giving online, to support Udom's cluelessness?
In the same vein are you saying all district or village in akwa ibom has a stadium?
Should spots development wait till all bridges and roads have been built?
If this administration builds all the needed infrastructure in the state ,what will the next administration do?

what's d use of having a stadium that cant b put into use?how many times in a year is d uyo stadium put to use?
As we speak the akwa ibom youth sports festival is ongoing in uyo, where 12,000 athelet's from all primary and secondary schools in the state are in camp competing for laurels at a world class facility. Tell me how those kids will not grow up dreaming to do great things.

And I know you have been watching the Nigerian super Eagles play and qualify for Russia 2018 with pride from that stadium.

Which bad belle? huh So it is bad belle to ask the govt to divert money into public infrastructure, that is beneficial to majority of the citizens, like roads, bridges, schools, hospitals, power projects etc, instead of using such public funds to build money-guzzling projects like a stadium, that is unlikely to add value to the masses, or justify its' upkeep?
Do you know how many bridges has been completed or under construction in Akwa ibom? for your information there are several.

Do you know how many roads are completed and under construction in Akw aibom? 1700km under gov. udom even the APC FG cant compete with that.

Do you know how many hospital projects the Udom ad minstration has completed or under construction , there are several

Akwa ibom is one of the only state in Nigeria that has its own power plant Akwa Ibom Generates 191MW of electricity from Ibom power plant the only reason that AKS do sent have 24hrs electricity is bad FOR policy that mandates that all electricity go to the national grid for other stares to enjoy.

Do a little research before you speak so you can speak from a position of strength.

Akwa Ibom is so rich that it doesn't know what to do with its money.

In naira and kobo terms, how much does the Uyo stadium make? huh Does it make enough to cover the costs of its maintenance, and its upkeep? If costs of maintenance and upkeep, exceed the revenue it makes, then it is operating at a deficit! shocked And for your information, not all supporters buy tickets to watch matches. A lot of dignitaries get free tickets, and there are also quite a lot of tickets sold below cost, in Nigeria.

The fact that a stadium is full, does not mean that millions are rolling in. sad Or have you seen a copy of the stadium's accounts statement before?
Bad belle go kill you. public infrastructures are for public good not for making money. how much money does roads, drainage, public schools make?
Public infrastructures = human development. I prefer the govt build public infrastructure than abscond with the money as other politicians in the country are doing.

thank GOD u're seeing what I'm seeing. Imagine a state with so much money from revenue and other sources, and all the clueless governor can do is to be building stadia 'upandan', instead of him developing the human/economic capacity of the state.. No functional investment that can accommodate the teaming population of graduates in the state. Very foolish of the udom administration I must say. I pray sense falls on Udom Emmanuel . (GOD bless Akpabio)
What do you know about human development? you think all the great Athlete in europe in America train on bare ground to become great. They use world class facilities like the ones in Akwa Ibom.

The stadia in London are well utilised by all the different football clubs in London, and each stadia earns enough revenue from various matches to cover its' maintenance, and its upkeep.How many events does the Akwa Ibom stadium in Uyo host every year, and how much revenue does it make?
Public infrastructure is not built to make money it is built for public use. roads, drainage's, schools, etc are not for makings money but for public good. thats why it is the responsibility of government. wise up and appreciate good things.

Before All the badbelle people arrive on this thread to do the usual hating like they did when Gov. Godswill was building the nest of champions.

Let me add to Their pain by submitting that the same day the artifical turf,Seats and tartan track for this new eket stadium arrived in uyo from Germany, the same material also arrived for the renovation of the old Uyo LGA stadium so the old uyo stadium will also be renovated alongside this new stadium in Eket.Not Forgetting the Ultra Modern Ikot Ekpene Sports Stadium completing standard stadia in each of the 3 senatorial districts. I prophesy future district championships sports competitions going on at the same time in all three SD. LOL.

Also, Gov. Udom Is building 10 mini sports stadiums in 10 public secondary schools in each of the 10 federal constituencies of Akwa Ibom state, one has been completed and put to use in West itam Secondary school. and 9 more are under various stages of completion.
For these feat, the minister of sports honoured the gov. with diamond award for sports development. thats from an APC FG to an opposition PDP Gov.!

Now over to you Chairmen and members of the various chapters of the Nigerian haters club, Please do your thing ! LOL. grin grin grin grin

1.Widening and dualizing streets within the city metropolis
2. Building of major flood/ storm drainage systems and underground sewage channelization.
3. Building of a major park at the city centre like the ibom plaza in uyo and ikot ekpene.
4. Construction of a new 15,000 all seater + covered Stadium At the site of the present Eket Sports Stadium.
5. construction of a Mordern Market. and many more.

There is no room for expansion of benin airport. The town people have encroached into airport land and built their houses there for years.
The minister spoke without knowledge, except he is planning on pulling down people's houses, which is not advisable in benin especially in this buhari economy.

Oga go and study your geography,google is your friend stop talking without fact. The Imo river and Qua River eket that drains into ibeno is a shoot of the delta, it is the easternmost drain of the Niger delta its the river that seperates rivers state from akwa ibom and the creeks of that river crisscrosses both states extensively.

so where is the road passing, is it not still through a virgin forest? so are there no animals in that forest? cross river road was readjusted not to pass through the reserve sites, but yet howl of protests. Same environmetalist have suddenly gone mute here. Akwa ibom has so many good roads, yet it is constructing more, but cross river has so many bad roads but want to construct a new one, rather it is cross riverians opposing it.
The highway in Cross River state was designed to pass through a National forest. Where in the world have you seen that? highways do not cross forest reserves especially ones with endangered species in them, they can border the forest for easy access but never through the forest.

The superhighway in Akwa ibom has undergone proper EIA and is going through a swamp land and not a forest reserve. thats the major difference.No wild life is threatened in the project in Akwa ibom.

Also 257km Cross river highway is 5 times the size of Akwa Iboms ans is a colossal project, i doubt if any state govt. can fund such project. Akwa iboms highway is only 55.1km

1. By refusing to dispute my assertions with facts, you in effect agreed with and supported my claims. See how lame you sound.


2. When ignorant and unintelligent people like you lack same and rational argument to stand on, they distract with irrelevant and meaningless rubbish.

3. There was never any state funds allocated or budgeted for any airport in Lagos so that was a reflection of your own ignorance and grasping rretarded exit since you pack factual detail per your imagined rubbish.

4. Unlike your village projects and looting scheme by your village governors and worthless, looting and incompetent PDPs 16 years in office and total waste, Lagos metro is not on the drawing board or imaginary and looting scheme, it's an ongoing project and reality on the ground.



Now, is Fashola in Lagos State the reason why your worthless village leaders looted your money and refused to build your imaginary seaport?

Is Fashola the reason why because I don't get the rretarded, illogical and insane connection.



Some of you Just need to STFU sometimes.
Go and solve the stealing by your political leaders and leave Akwa ibom matter for Akwa ibom people, its non of your business what our gov. or leaders steal or didint steal.
Go and recover the website, lagos city Airport, and lagos metro rail way project loot from Fashola before we address Akpabio. you guys only see speck in other people eyes and fail to see the log in your own eyes. vamoose!

So, it's a lie that akpabio pocket all the billions he budgeted for the project every year?


So, it's a lie that Jona and Akpabio refused to build the seaport when the had the chance and funds to do just that?


SO, it's a lie that akwa ibom was under akpabio the richest state in Nigeria and still the richest, but still unable to fund the project/

You mean the way fashola your god pocketed the money for the imaginary lagos city Airport? By the way what about the N600bn lagos metro railway money he stole, is the railproject complete?



So, it is a lie that akpabio commissioned only 1 cinema, 1 football field, 1 library, 1 uncompleted hospital, a flyover and a few toads? Is this a lie or do you have any facts to dispute my claims with?

If this port doesn't get built, it wont be because of the FG or the rubbish useless ipobs spew all over the place, but because if the state government in Akwa Ibom, both past and present.

Other people can not demand the actualization of your own seaport more than you demand

Eko ile or whatever you choose to call yourself now, stop recycling the trash you've been circulating about this project, they are all lies and you know it. but the truth is that it didnt stop the progress of the port then and it will not stop it now.

Bad belle for where, CONFIRM WEP(white elephant project) ordinary automobile industry for ITAM nothing 2show after d razmataz now he won build super highway n 21 storey building at d same time...UDOM na master SCAMMER
Blame buhari for the auto company that didint materialize, when the investor came in 2015 $ exchange rate was $1:N195 thats what the projections was based on soon after breaking groundfor the project $1 exchange rate climed to N500 within a few months, and buhari flip floped on economic policies causing massive flight of foreign capital and investment to Nigeria.

I ask you if you were the investor would you have invested your money in such climate?

the Akwa ibom state govt. is working hard to bring back investors despite the dulling of the APC Federal govt.
Gov. Udom has so far attracted the Jubilee syringe factory,
The electricty meter manufacturing company,
The kings flour company,
The HJ coconut oil refinery,
St Gabriel coconut plantation,
Toothpick and pencil factory,
The reactivation of the peacock paint industry etc
can you point to any Nigerian Gov. Who has done better in this regards?

BiafraIShere:
I observed the way the way the commissioner was emphasizing on investors, which is a good thing anyway, but let's be realistic here. The biggest potential investors they could get that would make the seaport viable are the Igbos especially their importers and industrialists. If the governor fails to liaise with the Abia state government in constructing the Aba-Ikot ekpene highway regardless of it being a federal road then the project might end up as a white elephant project in the mould of Tinapa. Akwa Ibom lacks the local content/economy that could make the seaport viable but if the importers at Aba and Onitsha should start using the seaport, it would help to turn around the economy of the state.
Ikot ekpene to Aba road is a federal road, the FG must take responsibility of fixing its roads in the Niger Delta. this region has been neglected for too long.
Besides the AKSG under gov. Akpabio spent time fixing federal roads in the state of which the FG is owing the Akwa IBom state govt. N140bn and have not paid a kobo up till today.

If you have visited Akwa Ibom recently, you will know that there are many evacuation routes from Akwa ibom besides ikot ekpene - Aba road.
unlike in the past.

There is the east west road that connects to PH through ikot Abasi ,The present Govt. is currently investing a lot in linking Akwa Ibom to its neighbours.

There is the 14.1km Ikpe Ikot Nkon - Obot Mme - Arochukwu road linking Ini Local Government Area of Akwa ibom to Arochukwu in Abia State which is 90%completed and the people of Arochukwu in Abia State have already offered a chieftaincy title to honour Governor Udom Emmanuel in appreciation of the road. and As we speak the people of Arochukwu are using that road to Access the Akwa Ibom international Airport for their rotuine flights, as this has become the closest airport for them with good road access.

And there is also another road linking Akwa ibom to Abia State constructed by the AKSG to link our brothers from Amuvi, Asaga, Obinkita, Ibom, Ututu to Ihechiowa and Azumini communities in Abia state.

Gov. Udom is a revolutionary governor interms of development, but he is different in style from gov. Akpabio in the sense that hes a quiet guy who dosnt toot his horn as loud. but hes doing a lot and the people are happy for it.

You dont have to put someone down to make your point, what do you mean by local content to sustain a port? where in Nigeria is the local content? what do we manufacture as a country worthy of export at the moment? The only export from Nigeria is crude oil out of which Akwa Ibom is the largest producer. on that strength alone this justifies the siting of the port which will make it the closet port to the Joint development zone. Besides with the availability of a viable port investors will come to tap our cheap labour and abundant gas for manufacturing knowing there will be a functional port to evacuate it from to any part of the world, they so choose.

But thats not the only case, IDSP is the best port site in the whole country. its the deepest natural seaport in the country hence the idea of dredging dosent occur and it will be the only transshipment port in Nigeria what that means is that it will make all the shallow ports in Nigeria come alive.
As big ships that cant access/berth all the shallow ports that litter Nigeria will dump thier goods IDSP and people like you an me can buy smaller ships and barges and float this goods for onward delivery to all the shallow ports and even river ports in Nigeria thereby creating jobs.

You just have to bing Apapa into it.


The reality is there are well over 15 million people in Lagos State. Akwa Ibom is twice the size of Lagos. So it would need to have twice the population of Lagos to make comparisoon meaningful.
No matter ho good a road is with time it must be maintained. The FG takes all the money out of Apapa and puts nothing back into maintenance

If Akwa Ibom becomes so successfuul that 30 million people move there this road will struggle. So stop talking jazz and keep Lagos out of it.
This is the problem with most Nigerians, too much emotion and little critical thinking. the statement was to praise the multiple entrance and exit ways planned for the port unlike the mono evacuation route in Apapa.
