Good one Femi.You are always giving wailers sleepless nights

Na lie! The real wailers are those who call evil good and those who laugh when others are crying.

Direct investment into 2023 ambition.

We down South pray for more of such investments into 2023 because that should be the main reason anybody should be clamouring to occupy any position in the first place.

Triangles1:
This is what Namdi Kanu is fighting for, south east is underdeveloped and the indigenous peoples of Biafra refused to go back home and develop it the way they developed Lagos and Kano and portha court and Abuja.

Awon developer celebrating 5.4 kilometers road.

why not travel out to get better understanding and be more reasonable in your comments. For your information, an individual is constructing a road in his locality and deserves your commendation and not mockery. If you say that South East is underdeveloped, I can pardon you because you may not actually know the meaning of under development. Travel and see and cure yourself of ignorance.

Juliusmalema:
Even the educated southerner couldn't spell Julius malema.


We are seeing the real quota system.

Lol

Your ability to spell that name correctly does not in anyway makes you educated either. Truth remains that good brains are being wasted in the North. Don't justify it please.

uzohcars:
$2 billion dollars was used to build that roadside airport.

Thanks to corruption

This comment shows that you are not current. The State government has severally explained that the funding arrangement for $2billion loan did not work out and am sure you know what it means to raise $2billion from whatever source. Am not pro- government but your kind of comment smacks of ignorance.

lastempero:
Stop supporting failure if not it will befall you, ikpeazu is a collateral damage. look at the centre table he is constructing for over 5years now.

How can we see without pictures?

TheMostComplex1:
Maybe he corrected it in his friends bank accounts not in Abia State I know or even Aba that even the blind is crying because of bad roads.

What pains me most is that Aba has a lot of potentials to generate huge revenue yet these governments are visionless to harness it

Some of you are like one way traffic. You show us a picture of a road eg Ngwa Road when it was at its worst state, but now it is being fixed and somebody says that something is happening there to improve on the status quo, you get offended and come up with insults and curses. Cursing our leaders on the social media doesn't make us great at all, instead it portrays us as a people without culture. South East is virtually the only geopolitical zone in Nigeria where their people come on social media to call their leaders fools and other unprintable names. Let me shock you, if you have the privilege of travelling around the country, you would understand that SE is not and has never been the worst governed zone in Nigeria. Even Lagos that you prefer to refer, what is their IGR, beside countless federal interventions aside been a former seat of government of the federation. Then I ask , are there world class institutions in Lagos? Are LASU and LASUTH world class? Has LASG been able to extend pipe borne water to every home which is a basic need of citizens?

Penguin2:
Lol! You know most of them never leave their backyard.

Some who ever do, only travel to Lagos and then they carry on the narrative of Igboland that can be best described as a folklore spread during the war.

If they ever came to, Onitsha, Aba, Owerri, they will be so ashamed of themselves and how ignorant they have been all along.

My thought

Almaigaa:
But the home is no longer safe at all

Home is not safe at all, it is Yobe that is safe. I hear you.

Glink2018:
Because of money Nyamiri people dey call PDP governor candidate for Anambra State their messiah....
Igbo people and money are inseparable...they can do anything for money...
Who know Maduka? Soludo is more popular than him...now because Soludo is stingy...they have started worshiping Maduka....daris God oh!

Please keep quite. If money is not also the god of your region, why the daily raiding of schools and kidnapping of little children collecting millions in ransom ? Who are they giving the money to> Soludo is well known is not because he was giving opportunity to prove himself. Have read the profile of the man your spewing trash on? Always claiming holier thou thou, that is what you people are good at.

SegFault:
What is so legendary about a man who caused one of the worst wars in history and fled instead of facing it like a man. Even Hitler and Stalin stayed put when there was a damning blitzkrieg on the way. Sha wetin concern me that is the problem of those who wants it to be theirs, as for me and my forthcoming offspring, we are leaving this mess.

Your enemy may be my friend. To you, Ojukwu was the cause of the war, but we know your grandfathers wanted to supervise the extermination of Igbos if not for Ojukwu, hence as far as we are concerned, he was a legend. Full Final stop.

Wickedtruths:
You are a brainless nonentity. What you call businesses in Aba are petty trading and cottage manufacturing. You are senseless and not exposed, so you don't know the kind of big businesses they are referring to.

If Coscharis moves to Igboland today, he will run down within 6 months. That is the fact. Those are the people they are referring to and not your fellow shoemakers in Ariaria market.

Tomorrow, this one will be boasting he went to school. He is so unschooled that he doesn't know that it is SME and MME that derive the economy. would how many mega business ate are in Ekiti, Ondo, Osun and Oyo

Smartini:
I am Igbo, but to say the truth, we're filled with greed all in the name to become sharp businessmen and 'smart' guys.

Have you ever asked yourself why an Igbo man will rather build his business in the West or North? I'll tell you for two reasons:

1. Enabling Environment: It is easier getting a shop and buying things at affordable prices in the West or the North. Everything in the East is horribly the expensive, and it's for no reason other than the need to make sharp profits. Land, shops, commodities ... A pair of solid sandals (and I mean solid) you can buy for 2k in the North, one wide mouthed Igbotic guy who owns a shop in Aba or Onitsha will tell you 7k, and you'll find out it's not as strong as it looks.

2. Envy: When it comes to business, Igbo people are the most envious set of individuals you'll ever find. Start a business in the North or West and make good profits, nobody will be looking at bringing you down or trying to spoil your market spiritually. Try it in the East and you're a goner.

Any sane businessman will pick where land is cheap, things are easily affordable and where there's value for money.

The East will continue to lag in terms of investments from fellow Easterners until the environment is provided and 419/outrageous prices of land, shops and goods are brought down to their realistic value.

Impostor! You are a yooruba afonja. You claimed to be Igbo and you think in terms of business that Onitsha, Aba, Nnewi is lagging behind. May Zamfara. Ewu Awusa

YorubarLord:
They'll rather brag about developing other people's land

If it is true why are Kano crying that Igbo people live in exclusive areas where Kano indigenes are not allowed to live

henryobinna:
maybe you're right. I was in Aba two months ago, in fact entered Aba 3 times in one week and can confirm the Aba owerri road around Aba poly is okay, while there are some bad roads too sha.

That's all am aware of

You see, that is how it is everywhere even Abuja or Lagos and across other states: good roads and bad roads but our major concern is to see sufficient effort to improve what is on ground, after all we all know that Nigeria developmental pace is damn slow. Right now all those roads that fills the internet and made Aba renowned for bad roads are either fixed or being fixed and if any body should be blamed it is not the present Governor but the ORJIS. If they had a third of what he has done and is doing the story wont be the same.

henryobinna:
while FG support is needed, the most important question now is what is the fat toad in Abia state government house doing?

Has he supported them enough or he's just busy swallowing money and sharing to his cronies?

Bro don't say what you don't understand. In fairness to the Governor, the industry was his brain child: he sent the boys to China for training , he established the factory, he is currently working on their roads to improve their business environment. Am not saying that he cannot do more, but so far to use the kind of abusive language used for him shows you like knowledge of the true position.

Abagworo:
Some recent photos of Aba

Good one there ! More of the recently completed and on going road projects are needed to change the negative narrative of Aba in particular and Abia State in general.

fclala:
I agree with your number 1 buh as for the next point you raised, does it really matter whosoever it is named after?

Yes! You should not be the judge in your own case, allow posterity to choose to be kind to you or otherwise. Spade must be spade. After all the so called projects were executed with public fund and not his personal fund.

Simplythebest:
See project a whole Governor of a state is opening. This kind projects are meant for local government chairmen. What is really happening. Things are getting worse everyday

Why are you claiming to know it all? If a Governor will not opening this kind of project, which should he Commission? Please put your ignorance in your pocket

Oshokalo:
those sex workers in bauchi are they northerners?

Check the name of the spokesperson of the prostitutes and answer your question

Patrioticman007:
Why the hypocrisy ?.
We all know how mother's send their daughters to Italy down south.
We know the identities of the call girls in sabon gari's in northerner Nigeria.
The industrialization of baby factories is happening right now in south east, these babies are the future unknown gun men.

Your interest is to drag the matter along ethnic lines as if that is the solution

For once they have officially admitted that prostitution is also a business in in the North

God must help South East to overcome these challenges

So you are still dwelling in the past as regards the quality of our local rice. That shows how uninformed you are.

The truth has been told. Oshomole has destroyed APC
