marshman293:
I've stayed in the two cities.two years each.Aba is more developed than Onitsha with a large urban land mass may be due to its proximity to Portharcourt.Also as the largest SME concentration in Nigeria.Aba is building an economic industrial city with a free trade zone along the boundary between Rivers and Abia state.

Dickson is working

Atiku my man

We need a sound mind that has created jobs and opportunities in the private sector like Atiku and not the stark illiterate cow-herder jihadist who knows next to nothing except cows and backwardness.

Ngeneukwenu is this true? Why is there so much panic in APC?

emexi:
I like all the critics slamming each other...can any of you hammering for one politician or the other inform your masters that since 50 years or more Asa ukwa west has never seen any good road.I was terribly disappointed when i visited Abia yesterday from lagos just to discover that there was no more link from Ari-aria junction to obokwe and umuiku-uko.Ii was directed to drive to rivers state inorder to get to my village. for your information ukwa west is the chicken that lays the golden egg for Abia.Without the oil in ukwa west Abia is finished.so all those saying its Ngwa Man turn and using ukwa Ngwa to deceive themselves should rethink.Ikpeazu has not been fair to ukwa west.its not about appointing rogues who think about their pocket only let him construct roads from ariaria to the remote villages.this time around we will only vote for one who will work

B2mario your response is needed here too.lol

B2mario you are always running away from Abia related threads. Come here and talk about your state for once.

Ikengawo, see the full report of SE cities/towns affected. Owerri, Orlu and Okigwe are all represented fully. You have nothing to gloat about. It is something that has affected almost all of the SE.

The study tagged ambient outdoor air pollution database 2016 revealed the 12 prominent cities with heavily polluted air.

From 1999 till now Abia is yet to have a governor. The truth is that the people wanted to elect their true leaders but on each occasion the people were robbed. It happened in 1999, it repeated in 2003. In 2015, Abia people swore to vote out the dynasty of Orjis but yet again failed under the sophisticated rigging of Orji dynasty and Ikpeazu came on board and continued the under development. Abia state has suffered enough, it is time to liberate the state.

globemoney:
Peter Obi is still looking for you to refund his social media campaign fund he wasted on you. Mention one project started and completed by Ikpeazu to deserve a second term besides Ikpeazu is governing on a “stolen mandate.” You fought against the reelection of obiano who performed more that all Abia governors joined together in the history of the state but campaigning for Ikpeazu? You are nothing but a hungry hack

Abia people don suffer, they have gathered to take their destinies in their hands. This is not even campaign yet

These are actually the top 10 most cosmopolitan states. The rest of Nigeria are predominantly indigenes.

More corporate outfits more IGR. You guys are welcome, Anambra is a peaceful and fastest developing state in Nigeria.

ANSMEDIA:
Commissioner for information receives the staff and management of Wazobia fm as they opens their southeast flagship station in Onitsha.

20 JULY 2018



The State Government has restated its resolve to uplift the state in all areas.

The Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Mr. C. Don Adinuba, stated this when he received the management and staff of Wazobia FM, who paid him a courtesy visit in his office in Awka.

The Information Commissioner used the opportunity to enumerate the achievements of Governor Obiano, especially in areas of ensuring security and healthy business environment for investors as well as the ban on commercial motorcyclIsts popularly known as okada and the promised to provide shuttle buses to them, at no interest rate, to empower them and cushion the effect of the ban.

Mr. Adinuba noted that Wazobia FM would be the twenty first radio station to operate in the state in the last couple of years which goes a long way to testify about the peaceful and investment friendly nature of the state.

Earlier the Head of Broadcast and Operations of the Radio Station, Mr. Ugo Enwereji, who led the management team and staff of the broadcast outfit on the visit, explained that they decided to have a foothold in the state and in the South East as Anambra remains the commercial nerve centre of the South East especially Onitsha where the new radio station is domiciled.


Mr. Enwereji observed that the radio station will help tell the story of Anambra state and that of the South East to the world, noting that a lot is happening in the state in terms of infrastructure and security.

The visit featured presentation of souvenirs to the Commissioner

So true

NonsoWow:
Of a truth, abia state is cursed. Only those who have gone there will know. People living in port harcourt and uyo can smell the stench of Aba from that far away! It is that bad.

They can not welcome Obasanjo with military parade because Obasanjo goes for private visit. , It is not considered official visit. military men don't wear military uniform for private visit..

Clearly the people of ebonyi lack understanding of military law

The ig of police in civil cloth visiting Imo state for private event

You don't expect anything less from the backward inferior Ebonyi people. They are a people filled with inferiority complex. They are even so excited that Obj visited their backward state. So they rolled out drums to receive him with all the military parade. Ebonyi people are almajiri-igbos, they are seen in Igbo land as slaves and abok1s.

Do you hear about Onitsha/Ogbaru yam and Otuocha rice? GOD blessed us far above anything you can think of.

Below is a rice farm harvest in Anambra, we are doing it big and not those nomadic nonsense in Abakaleke

Taa mechionu nsi

You ebonyi people are useless. You don't court for trouble and expect me to pat you on the back. Stay away from anything that concerns Anambra if not you will always have me to contend with. You people are our slaves so you have no right to talk to your master.

You don't feed nada, because you guys are mostly gala hawkers. We habour you lots in Anambra where you guys make it as your greener pasture.

So shut up nwa abakaleke

[s]

achi4u:
How can you hate me and being eaten from my farm?
No nwafor Igbo can hate on me unless you are an efulefu.
I've been speaking to you but you can't speak because it is not ur language.
How can you hate me when I feed you with rice and yam and other commodities when Buhari want to strangle you to date.
Well taa bu gboo, watch it we're coming up to over take you.

[/s]

Hehehehe

You must not run this abakaleke gala hawker. Next time you know better.

Your gov is a jew man, he was once a gala hawker.

Can we see your gala hawker governor's CV

There is a reason why Ebonyi people are called almajiris.

achi4u:
OK this is where I'll stop.
How dare you compare an Engineer to a drunken master, even your people will not agree with you

John, tell us the truth. Are you people igbo? why does igbos treat you people like shiiit? why do igbo regard you guys as almajiris? Why is Ebinyi state the most backward in the entire southern Nigeria?

[s]

achi4u:
Egwu a abago na egwu umuasi, you are from Kogi state but decided to migrate to Anambra state
Shame on you.

Achi4u read carefully and weep for your people. I spit on you all.


Ebonyi people are haunted like aliens. Look at how Lagos jailed all of them in Lagos. They even have commissioner on Onitsha matter because an average Ebonyi person sees Onitsha as his America where he goes to hustle.

There gov is buying keke for the ones in Onitsha so they can quit hawking..

Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State has called on the Lagos State Government to release 180 Ebonyi indigenes held in Lagos for hawking.

Umahi made the call on Thursday in Abakaliki, when he received a delegation of Ebonyi indigenes residing in Onitsha, Anambra, who visited him over the plight of some indigenes of the town.

Umahi, represented by his deputy, Dr Kelechi Igwe, said the government was dismayed by the report from the Ebonyi Development Association in Lagos concerning incarcerated 180 indigenes.

“The 180 victims were accused of contravening a law of the Lagos State Government on street trading, but the intriguing aspect is that they had been incarcerated before the law was enacted.



“Most of them had spent over two years in incarceration before the law was enacted, but they were unfortunately charged under the same law.

“I will immediately consult and interact with my Lagos counterpart to ensure the immediate and unconditional release of the victims,” he said.

The governor said the days of treating Ebonyi citizens as second-class citizens in the country were over, saying the government would extend its empowerment schemes to its indigenes residing across the country.

“The government would immediately procure over 130 tricycles to enable hawkers of Ebonyi origin in Onitsha and environs to quit the trade and be gainfully employed.

“We would accommodate over 20 indigenes in Onitsha in our empowerment scheme, which would offer them a grant of N250,000 ea ch, to quit street trading and be gainfully employed.

The leader of the delegation and the governor’s Senior Technical Assistant, Onitsha Liaison Office, Mr Mathew Njoku, thanked the governor for the reception and pledged to contribute its quota to the state’s development.

“We thank you for graciously including Ebonyi indigenes in Onitsha and across the country in your empowerment schemes because it would help to eradicate the humiliating experiences they undergo while hawking and engaging in other menial jobs.”

“Ebonyi indigenes are ranked among the most successful exporters of goods in Onitsha and are willing to transfer such business acumen to enhance the state’s economy,” he said

Below is the highest economic activity ever embarked upon by ebonyi people. Ebonyi people are cursed people from hell.


100 Umahi does not worth just 1 Obiano. You guys are worthless including your jew man governor

achi4u:
Hit gini big? While they uses you to feed their crocodile and lion:DAt least believe that in good name that negative riches. That's why God uses the drunken master of a governor to bless you.

[/s]

Hehehehehe

That was why I said that ebonyi state is a very backward fiefdom filled with nomadic gala hawkers. You people have no one in your midst to celebrate. All of you are cursed and worthless

[s]

achi4u:
I celebrate him too(Achebe) at least he refuses to do drug.

Oga sir,during my nysc days in ihembosi,a teacher chiedozie ozigbo told me that ebonyi people are very hardworking,strong,patient and faithful.most of the hardjobs in that town according to him were done by these ebonyi people.anambra people selected jobs and rarely do non lucrative jobs.you are contradicting him.

achi4u, hope you can see the same view from another poster. Ebonyi people are almajiri-igbos

John bull, Ebonyi people are worthless and cursed. They are not worth anything. They have nobody. They are all nomadic gala hawkers. No good thing ever come out of Ebonyi because the land and its people are cursed. if you doubt me show me an equivalent this person in the entire ebonyi state. You guys are cursed

[s]

achi4u:
Which one is worthless and cursed again?
People who engages themselves in a normal business or people who hide cocaine in their boxers?

We are saying the same thing..LOL

Ebonyi people are almajiri-igbos, they are not true-igbos. We use them as slaves down here

You are no longer making sense. We are your masters while you are the slave. How many centuries will it take your backward state filled with gala hawker to produce this kind of person?

[s]

achi4u:
That is still legitimate, at least it is better to hustle that than using ur father and mother to do ogwu ego. 7 in every 10 Anambra homes have I'm.becile why?

[/s]

Yes it is better to hit big than hawking gala all your life. Ebonyi people in Anambra are treated like shiiit. Once you say you are from ebonyi, the game changes..

[s]

achi4u:
Well, selling gala is a legitimate business than going for drugs in far away countries.
Malaysia have killed not less than 480 Anambra children because of illicit drug trafficking.
What other shame is more than that?
