el bin manny: Uyo is like heaven! Ikot-Ekpene a paradise, Abak is cool, Eket is wonderful, Itu is coming up! The way development is spreading in Akwa-Ibom I won't be surprised if LGAs won't be able to identify their boundaries cos the whole state will turn to one Major city

tonzo: I dont like commenting on political issues.but let me chip in my opinion.why is it dat its only in Nigeria we celebrate ROAD CONSTRUCTION?.IS UYO D ONLY CITY IN AKWAIBOM?What of Oron,Eket,ikote... etc.How has Okpabio created wealth in his state.its high time we in the South South wake up.GOD BLESS HENRY ADAKA BORO, KEN SARO WIWA N9,JP CLARKE,TANURE OJAIDE n all dose dat fought 4d emancipation of d people of Niger delta.WE NEED LEADERS DAT CAN CREATE WEALTH WITH D AMBUNDANT RESOURCES.let d governors do more n talkless.

Gbawe: It is indeed your opinion and you are entitled to it. Yet, it is an opinion, inspected in the light of brutal logic and the Nigerian reality, that is flatly wrong. We all hanker after "youth in leadership" with realising that it is our innate prejudice that make us blind to the obvious i.e "youth in leadership" has happened and has been soundly discredited as one more touted panacea to our woes that has, in reality, not turned out to be valid.

Has youth not already had a chance? Bankole, Yar Adua and GEJ can all be deemed relatively young. How old are most Nigerian Governors? What other type of 'youth' are you then looking for and what level have they not reached? Has the experiment with 'youth' and a "departure from the past" , in the form of Yar Adua and GEJ, not shown Nigerians that it is time for us to stop discriminating and time for us to simply look, as is done successfully elsewhere, at the history, achievement and lifestyle of those who want to lead us?

rozayx5: being seeing this Yahsat broadband wonder if they provide services for home use

am tired of all these service providers all of them are just wierd

Mad Cow: Amaechi should never have tried to cross Goodlucks Path..

I really did like him, but he has failed one of the vital laws of the Mafia code; Never take sides in public with anyone against the Godfather.

CHAIRMAN1: In as much as I'm not a fan of amechi, this action is a 100 percent wrong!
If this is true, then we aren't going forward as a nation

yomex_y2: Avoid picking bottoms or tops. my opinion of course

Fhemmmy: He never said lack of education, but poor education, so this is to raise awareness about the quality of education in Nigeria, there are so many educated illiterates

CyberG: The retardeen is an illiterate Ph. D.

BTFormular: that chart is false

Eko Ile: Words and phrases they really need to ban in Nigeria for misuse if possible are world class, massive, state of the art and transformation.

ocelot2006: You, sir, are a confirmed buffoon. What project did that useless man Attah complete? Do you even have any freaking idea the level of under-development after Attah 8-year tenure? The only access road to Uyo from Abak was filled with so many potholes......sorry, fishponds, that it took a day longer period to drive down to the capital. Outside the capitall the Abak-ikot ekpene wasn't only filled with potholes, but almost cut in half by erosion. And Etim Kpo road? Well, let's just say it wouldve damaged a good SUV. Even the Le Meridiene wasn't even completed by Attah, but Akpabio. So don't you dare come here and spill trash about Akpabio, a man who who basically lifted a state from its former village-status to one of Nigeria's best destinations.

aguiyi: "One good guideline is that a strong trend line should have AT LEAST THREE touching points. Trend lines with more than four touching points are MONSTER trend lines and you should be always prepared for the massive breakout"

pls how true is the above quote, got it online

CFCfan: @Warri_Pikin: the Uyo Olympic stadium CANNOT host a FIFA World cup match. The minimum capacity for a world cup stadium is 40,000; the Uyo stadium will have a capacity of 30,000.

BabaTony: It is better you stop living in the past mr., this is 2013 and Akwa Ibom has left that level long time ago. It is obvious that you haven't visited Aks to see the level private investments springing up due to the hurricane-like transformation in infrastructure in the state.

chino11: Dont mention Anambra and that state on same sentence again. States get levels.

@ The topic: I can only say WOW to the roads and beauty!!!!

This is what development in infrastructure is about. This roads can only be compared to Abuja roads..simple.

But the gov is not meeting up on the areas of human capital development, health, education. An average Ibom man is still very poor and living below 20 dollars per day. An average Ibom man is still my gateman, an average Ibom girl is still my cook.

All in all Akpabio has done well above average ..I score him 55%. The next governor will take up the touch where he stopped in 2015.

CFCfan: The Ibom Airport international terminal is being designed to handle 1.5 million passengers per year/750 per hour during peak periods. The terminal will have 4 'fingers'(jet bridges) which will be connected to six planes; one of the fingers will be used solely for an A380 aircraft.
The terminal costs N18.06 billion, and is due to be completed by the middle of next year.

rozayx5: My observations on this thread, I live in Akwa Ibom so I am not typing hearsay here.

1. i see a group of jealous people here

2. i see some people comparing a new born baby town to a Metropolis - you cant compare Uyo and Lagos, Uyo is trying its best , Lagos has been developing since the 18** and even if fashola does nothing who will know,

3. i see some Akpabio haterz - Akpabio is trying in infrastructure, some people here are talking about Developments outside Uyo, there are too many i cant mention, Abak - Ikot Ekpene road, Abak Housing Estate, Complete tarring of roads and street in Ikot Abasi, renovation of 90% or primary schools in the State, and so on. I saw some one say Akpabio would have built houses for all the poor in the State, when his wife did that for Widows we did not hear it here, there are homeless people in the USA, so let me hear word

where Akpabio needs to work on as of now is JOb creation, through building of more industries

4. Uyo is a beautiful City you come around and see for yourself, i Live in Ikot Abasi and frequent Uyo for Business (we have light 24/7 in Ikot Abasi so if you need 24hrs light your welcome

uncompleted and nearing completion include - The Stadium(berger), the Worldclass Hospital (gitto), the Oruk Anam Major feeder Rd, and so many which should be completed this year and 2014

PROUDLY AKWA IBOMITE

Warri _Pikin: Na bad belle go kill una !

GOD BLESS GODSWILL AKPABIO, the great transformer of our time !

Even Ghana's President John Dramani Mahama said the same words less than a week ago!
.......na only yoruba boys in nairaland no fit acknowledge such naked truth !

laz_inc: Ode, olodo! I presume you don't know what you're talking about. Have you gone through the section of the eastwest road that links Rivers and Akwa Ibom state lately? That road is been constructed by Akwa Ibom state govt.the E-library and the Ibom Tropicana you mentioned are real, I have been there and I must tell you they are world class.

BabaTony: AKSG to renovate Army barracks at Ibagwa, Abak.

OYA HATERS ITS TIME TO FALL DOWN AND DIE!

Agukagu: Your state is gradually being developed to a world class metropolitan. Rome was not built in a day. The quality of the construction works in Akwa Ibom State is highly commendable.

nijanigga: Based on the comments I read so far, you see why Nigerians are taken for a ride.Nobody ever ask the question how long can you sustain these fake publicity,what's the purchasing power of average Nigerian,can we have pics of some villages say 50Km from Uyo ? A house built on sand will be washed away . Some dimwits will start praising akpabio. Arrant nonsense,with the level of corruption in Nigeria and "mumu" followers Nigeria will never be great.

Emphasis: You smell like an Anti-Akpabio, Keep your pull-down-syndrome. You kind can never see good in Him.

Emphasis: The thread is about UYO CITY, not about Former Governor's projects.

Eko Ile: You missed the deceptive title. It says UYO city and not akwa ibom state and it was done for a reason meaning there is nothing behind uyo..
