mr Pero: KK boro ufanodo ke Iniehe se atang
#akpabiotutumkpong

aba nte ufan oro oto idung mme otoro uduang ufok

Kasynpaulsyn1997: mr.itoroetti am not even from akwaibom,but i reside here in uyo. So much work for mr.akpabio to do but rather he runs to the media to broadcast the little he has achieved! This is rainy season and when it rains in uyo OMG come see flooding.......from ikot-ekpene rd to abak rd to aka rd! Every part of uyo will be flooded because of the poor drainage system which needs urgent attention. Anyways what am talking about here is the 'strict' and harsh conditions on which tricycle operators are confined to.

where are then from?
ok,umana and others are trying to use u guys to unsettle akpabio.
were u not in uyo when attah was there for 8yrs?
what did he do to rectify this drainage issue ?
now ure talking about drainage and keke not getting to the plaza.

Gboliwe: Attack, dissect, criticize the message, leave the messenger alone. He has raised valid concerns any good leader should look into. I discussed this before when the ban started newly. There was no point stopping them from reaching plaza until alternate routes have been arranged. The flood is a disaster waiting to happen. I also told Ujoine or whatever his name was then, the drainage should be worked on long before the rains come. Get the inhabitants of the state involved. Uyo is very nauseatingly dirty. You know this, I know it too.

did u advicd fashola to do same?

tuffgongjo: .tell me u are joking about Ross Barkley.

not a joke.he has a nigerian father

read from dis link
allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=9451

Rose barkley(england)-nigeria
emmanuel olisadebe(poland) -nigeria

because he was the best in his field.
those criticising above never watched jay jay or they are just bad bellys

Guys,do u really think oliseh can succeed as a coach?
personally i love the way he analyses football with real depth and he doesnt misses any point.
he is very good,but do u think that the fact that he is a good analyst can make him a good coach?
what is your opinion?

u dis udoedeghe and umana's spokemen,u wont allow akpabio to concentrate on developing akwa ibom statr
always looking for loopholes to nail him.is it a crime for a leader to hail from the minority?
pls allow akpabio concentrate.

Idumose,see when God decides to bless bless u,no supporter of APC can draw u back no matter what.u can see he had no god father,neither did he payed to be favoured.
for everyone that supports gej with their hrt,God shall favor them beyond their neigbours imagination,amen.

customized13: you are exceptionally stewpid, have you asked yourself why everybody don't support ochendo like akpabio, fashola and the like of them? Use your tongue to count your teeth.

Dont mind them.
i remember while serving in owerri yrs ago,he said akpabio is only performing due to its allocation.
he forgot to tell us that interms of IGR,abia is one of the highest recipient.
that man lacks clear idea n vision

imochisom: Nigerians can be very unpartotice, why would you want to judge someone when you are not better off.rather than castigate Ochendo why not suport him.

support him on what ground?
that guy has done absolutely nothing in dat state.
all his blames are pushed to OUK.u will never see a piece of lies written on behalf of T.A.ORJI without OUK being mention.
it is so pathetic.i did my secondary in abia during OUK's first term and i can say dat ouk is better than dis dull brain.
i'm not sayin i was impressed wit ouk,but he was better than this man.

ITbomb: This is the most objective post I have seen since the beginning of the crisis.

I remember a user creating a thread on what he had observed and Seun ask him for screenshots, I'm not sure he provided it. About 4 more people complained about some unknown pop ups on that thread.

I'm sure the admin thought it was a code issue rather than a direct assault and didn't take precautions.

Linda is and would be more disastrous

the guy might be right.recently i read were linda begged her fans to exercise patience for not being able to comment and dat its being work on.hhmm.

Charles Itandje
Retaining his place in the side, despite the heroic
efforts of Igor Akinfeev to displace him, is
Cameroon goalkeeper Charles Itandje. After his
horror show against Croatia, you thought the
worst was past the ex-Liverpool man. Not quite.
Against Brazil, the 31-year-old continued his poor
form, as Cameroon bowed out of the group stage
with a 4-1 defeat. Although the brilliance of
Neymar almost single-handedly proved the
difference between the two sides, many onlookers
were forced to utter the phrase 'but what on
Earth is the 'keeper doing?' while watching.
Benoit Assou-Ekotto
Joining his fellow countryman is Benoit Assou-
Ekotto, who had a poor overall tournament that
was brought straight into the spotlight after he
headbutted team-mate Benjamin Moukandjo.
Frustration got the better of the Tottenham full-
back and frustration is all he is likely to feel
looking back on a truly awful tournament for
Cameroon.
Hong Jeong-Ho
At centre-back, there is only one man for the job:
South Korea's Hong Jeong-Ho, who was
absolutely run ragged during his side's 4-2 defeat
to Algeria. In a manner befitting of this all-out-
attack World Cup in Brazil, South Korea's loss
was pulsating and a joy to watch for the neutral.
But if it was good defending you were after,
Jeong-Ho will not have made an impression, after
giving the ball away, falling over and running
completely the wrong way, pretty much whenever
he was called upon.

Any England Defender
Fact: no worst World Cup XI could exist without
an England player. The problem is, however, they
were all so bad, who do you choose?
To play it safe, then, (sorry) we'll let you pick
your choice of any Three Lions defender, as they
were all rather horrific. Leighton Baines proved he
doesn't know the first lesson of being a full-back:
don't let your man cut inside. Glen Johnson
proved he is still a wannabe right-winger who
only occasionally remembers his job is to defend.
Phil Jagielka and Gary Cahill, meanwhile, were
both at fault for crucial goals conceded.
Any England Midfielder
In probably the biggest English achievement at
the World Cup, Roy Hodgson's men have won
two places in our XI! Once again, take your pick...
Steven Gerrard, although arguably misused and
unfortunate for his part in Luis Suarez's winner
against the Three Lions, had a tournament to
forget, while the same applies for Liverpool team-
mate Jordan Henderson.
The England midfield made a better go of things
against Costa Rica, but against a side with little
to play for and already through to the knockout
stages, Hodgson's men still couldn't produce a
convincing attacking display.
article continues below
Wilson Palacios
Keeping his place in the side just like Itandje,
Stoke midfielder Wilson Palacios will be looking to
dust himself down and pretend this World Cup
never even took place. After his sending off
against France, the 29-year-old had to miss
Honduras' narrow 2-1 defeat to Ecuador.
Once he returned, though, Palacios made a
minimal impact as his side managed to lose 3-0
again, this time to Switzerland.

Alex Song
Former Arsenal midfielder Alex Song has also had
a tournament to forget. Then again, so has the
whole Cameroon team. We still can't figure out
quite what move the midfielder was trying out
when he elbowed Mario Mandzukic in the back
but, at this point, it's a moot point.
Since his sending off, Song hasn't really done
enough to redeem himself and, after a World Cup
plagued by disagreement over bonuses, the
Barcelona man will be hoping for a brighter future
at international level.
Antonio Valencia
The Manchester United man has disappointed so
much, especially with his sending off against
France, that this here space has been deemed too
small to describe Antonio Valencia's group
stages.
Instead, here's a whole article on it: Is Man
United winger the worst player at this year's
World Cup?
Hulk
Fortunately, Brazil forward Hulk missed his side's
second game against Mexico due to injury. If he
hadn't, people might have paid more attention to
just how ineffective he has been so far this
summer. Instead, the 27-year-old started both
Brazil's big wins against Croatia and Cameroon,
painting the picture that Hulk had something to
do with them.
In truth, he had nothing to do with them - and
Chelsea's Willian should replace him in Luiz Felipe
Scolari's line-up.

Diego Costa
For someone who Spain took such a gamble with,
Diego Costa has left Brazil with absolutely
nothing to be proud of. The Chelsea-bound striker
simply couldn't adapt to the Spanish style and
proved cumbersome as the defending World
Champions' title defence fell at the first hurdle.
David Villa's impressive performance against
Australia showed just how Spain should have
played against the Netherlands and Chile, Vicente
Del Bosque is likely to rue starting Costa ahead
of the Spanish veteran.
Romelu Lukaku
Even more worrying for Chelsea fans is the fact
that it is another of their strikers that completes
this XI. Indeed, Belgium's Romelu Lukaku has
made no impact whatsoever on the World Cup,
with Divock Origi outshining him in every way
possible.
Lukaku has looked slow, tired and short of ideas,
also reacting petulantly to being substituted
against Russia. The 21-year-old still has time to
prove himself in Brazil, but little he has done so
far will have convinced Jose Mourinho that he
should be part of his Chelsea plans.
Who would make your 'worst World Cup' XI?

Why will u miss him?
Are u planing to go and di.e by 2015?cos he's gonna continue till 2019 so we won't miss him exceed u are planning to do otherwise

I don't see women as fund managers.
If u think women are better fund managers,then ask chika ike,tonto dike,genevieve,omotola,ini edo,etc

Nothing is impossible

...It killed my friend we served together immediately we passed out last june.
I can't forget that guy.
I still love and miss him.
RIP my guy

Once again it is time to
generate debate and stir up some controversy as
usual with my own views on which players I
think should make up a good starting eleven for
the African continent over the year 2013.
May I stress that I could be totally wrong, but
what you are about to read is what I observed as
a football journalist over the year 2013.
This article is actually inspired by my colleague
and friend Jerry Kwame Ayensu, who asked me
to discuss this very topic and on Friday January 3
2014, you might see me on GTV Stage Africa
discussing my choices.
Controversially, even though Didier Drogba was
nominated for the African Player of the Year
award, he doesn’t make it onto my selection, and
whilst African champions Nigeria dominate the
team, Ghana has only one representative and
there is a player from Mali as well.
I am using a fluid 4-2-3-1 formation that can
easily translate into a 4-4-2 system in making this
selection.
Goalkeeper: Vincent Enyeama (Nigeria)
The Lille goalkeeper has gotten better and better
as the years have gone by and he was a major
reason why the Super Eagles won the African
Nations Cup. His agility, cat like reflexes and
excellent anticipation saw him earn the number
one spot at Lille, where his exploits have seen the
Ligue 1 side embark on an excellent run. To be
honest, he has been one of Africa’s top goalies
over the last three years and for me, he is the best
goalkeeper on the continent now.
Right Back: Ahmed Fathi (Egypt)
Even though he is a veteran with both Al Ahly
and the Pharoahs, Ahmed Fathy has maintained
superb performance levels over the years. Even
though he can also play in midfield, his biggest
asset is bombing down the right and he is a very
good crosser of the ball as well. He also is steely
in the tackle and he has been consistent over the
last few years. Even though Egypt failed to
qualify for the World Cup, his efforts for the
Pharaohs were easy to see and indeed, he helped
Al Ahly to another CAF Champions League
triumph.
Centre back: Nicolas N’koulou (Cameroon)
The Marseille defender is vastly underrated, but
after bursting onto the international scene as a
callow teenager at the 2010 World Cup,
N’Koulou hasn’t looked back. He has grown into
a mature reader of the game and at 23, he is
already a leader at the back for the Indomitable
Lions. His input gave Cameroon one of the best
defences in the African World Cup qualifying
series and he is a major reason why Cameroon
will take part in the 2014 World Cup. He is
strong in the tackle and excellent in playing the
ball out of defence as well.
Centre back: Geoffrey Oboabona (Nigeria)
From the relative obscurity of the Nigerian
Premier League, the defender played his heart out
for Sunshine Stars and Oboabona’s breakthrough
eventually came after Stephen Keshi was
appointed head coach of Nigeria. Keshi noticed
him and took him to the 2013 African Nations
Cup. After team captain Joseph Yobo performed
below par in the first game against Burkina Faso,
Keshi replaced him with Oboabona and the move
paid dividends. Oboabona formed an excellent
defensive partnership with Kenneth Omeruo and
that helped in landing the Super Eagles the title.
Oboabona has not looked back since then and
after koving to Turkey in the summer, his efforts
also helped Nigeria qualify for the 2014 World
Cup. He is aggressive and strong in the challenge
and for me, he has been one of the best defenders
from Africa this season.
Left back: Adama Tamboura (Mali)
Tamboura was undoubtedly one of Mali’s
standout stars at the 2013 African Nations Cup
tournament where the Eagles placed third after
beating Ghana 3-1 in the third place match. The
Randers FC defender has been one of the most
consistent African left backs over the last few
years and even though his efforts failed to help
Mali qualify for the World Cup, you would be
hard pressed to get a better left back than
Tamboura at least over the course of 2013.
Holding midfielder: John Obi Mikel (Nigeria)
He was one of the major reasons why Nigeria
won the 2013 African Nations Cup with his
performances in the middle of the park. Even
though he has evolved from a dribbling attacking
midfielder into a holding midfielder, he has
become one of the best in his position in the
world, never mind Africa. He also helped
Chelsea win the Europa League and he proved
Keshi’s most important player as the Super
Eagles qualified for the 2014 World Cup. Little
wonder that he has been shortlisted for the 2013
African player of the year award by the
Confederation of African Football (CAF)
Central midfielder: Yaya Toure (Cote D’ivoire)
Without a doubt, the box-to-box midfielder is one
of the best players in the world at the moment,
especially in his position and he is virtually
undroppable for both Manchester City and Cote
d’Ivoire. I believe that he would win the African
Player of the Year award for a third consecutive
time and indeed he has already won BBC’s
version of the award. He has the ability to ghost
into goal scoring positions, as well as the ability
to track back and protect the back four. He is also
a deadly set piece specialist, and he is on course
to be one of the stars of the show in Brazil.
Right Attack: Mohammed Salah (Egypt)
The Basel winger has become one of Africa’s
most lethal attacking talents and 2013 was a good
year for the Egypt international. His ability to cut
in from the right and score goals reminds many of
a younger Lionel Messi playing in the same
position for Barcelona a few years back. He
proved a vital outlet of goals as Egypt stormed
into the final World Cup qualifying phase with
six straight wins. Even though the Pharaohs
ultimately failed to make it to Brazil, there is no
doubt that Salah has been the team’s breakout star
and should he continue in this manner, he is a
candidate for a future African Player of the Year
award.
Player in the ‘hole’/second striker: Asamoah
Gyan (Ghana)
It was indeed a masterstroke by Ghana’s head
coach Kwesi Appiah to play the Al Ain forward
in behind a lead striker in the course of the World
Cup qualifiers and the Black Stars captain
responded with crucial goals that eventually
helped Ghana win a ticket to Brazil. Gyan’s
game intelligence, his eye for a pass and his
ability to make central defenders work mark him
out as the best player in the ‘hole’ in Africa in my
opinion. I may be Ghanaian, but I thought he
should have been nominated ahead of Didier
Drogba for the 2013 African player of the Year
awards. Nevertheless, he remains Ghana’s most
important player and deservedly takes his place in
my opinionated starting eleven.
Left Attack: Jonathan Pitriopa (Burkina Faso)
Indeed many soccer pundits are not happy that
Brazil will not see the skills of this gifted winger,
who set the 2013 African Nations Cup
tournament alight with his skills. The Rennes
forward was voted the tournament’s best player
and went on to inspire the Stallions to reach the
final World Cup qualifying phase. Even though
he scored 1 the first leg against Algeria, defensive
frailties ultimately cost his side dear as Burkina
Faso conceded twice in Ouagadougou and was
beaten 1-0 in the second leg and eliminated. For
me however, no one was better in 2013 in his
position than Pitriopa and that is why he is in this
team.
Striker: Emmanuel; Emenike
My colleague panelist at GTV and former Black
Stars striker Augustine Arhinful was constantly
raving about him during the 2013 African
Nations Cup and after watching him inspire
Nigeria to victory, despite missing the final
through injury, I could see why. Emenike
reminds me so much of the late Rashidi Yekini,
with the same power-laden shots, aggression,
ability to bring his other team-mates into play and
the knack of giving defenders nightmares. His
goal against Cote D’Ivoire was a sight to behold
and even though he was out injured for a while,
he came back to inspire a magnificent comeback
as Nigeria came back from a goal down to beat
Ethiopia 2-1 in Addis Ababa, with Emenike
getting both goals. Keeping him fit will be one of
Keshi’s priorities going into the 2014 World Cup,
where, with the right service, he could prove a
major hit.
Coach of the year: Stephen Keshi
With all that he has achieved despite a glaring
lack of respect for his abilities by his own
country’s football governing body, I believe
Stephen Keshi has been the best coach on the
continent. The former Super Eagles captain has
shown a very strong steely resolve in the face of
adversity and if the Nigerian Football Federation
gives him the necessary support, Nigeria could be
one of the dark horses in Brazil.
So there you have it. These are solely my views
and anyone at all is entitled to disagree. After all,
that is the beauty of football discussions.

Don't mind the apc desktop publisher

Junk journalism.u captioned a title but couldn't mention names.

If u like present buhari and tinubu as double presidential candidate and fashola,kwankwaso and tambuwal as triple vice presidential candidate.all we need is GEJ till 2019.
Nothing can stop stop Godswill(GEJ) in nigeria.

Like this comment if u agree.
Cry like buhari and ignore if u hate

ajani1978: If is true Jonathan too will be sacked before his tenure end in 2015

Keeping dream and don't worry he'll be replaced by tinubu or cry cry baby buhari.
RuBbish

berem: The stupidity that dwells in the mind of some nigerian youths is quite shocking and calls for concern. the same thing can be said during the bullet proof saga of Stella Oduah. They have been beclouded by ethnic sentiments and there's nothing you will say to make them support you assertions.

Don't u aswell see the stup1dity in nigerian youth whom despite having tinubu as a gov for 8yrs,he could undergrade any state institution to make it worth any of his child attending.
He couldn't built any hospital that could treat even his legs.
Nigerian youths are only assumed to be stup1dy when the suPport Gej,but whenever they turn around to support the real evil genuis(buhari,atiku,tinubu,obj,etc) that's when they re said to be progressive youths.smh

Tolexander: what is the main purpose of loning out a player if not to gather much experience to make him more mature to the standard of the parent club?
How will playing in Ghana develope him than playing in nigeria?
He has a better option, why settling for mediocrity when there is a better alternative?

Nice response,u would have asked him why settle for kaikai(ghana) when u can manage small stout(naija)

Alibaba and aliexpress is one,meaning its own by same people and operated simultaneously.u can use any of them but becareful so u won't buy fake product,becareful so u won't be dupe aswell.
I no nothing about the others

Op why do u start what u cannot finish?
What was d essence of u creating this thread?
If u didn't know their qualification and achievement over the yrs,then why did u create the topic?
People like u are they ones killing this country
