Mr Akpabio why did you then commission an uncompleted project you see ur life

AKpabio commissions projects before they are completed. Tropicana, e-library, airport, world class hospital, 5 star hotel, 4-star sheraton, etc, are good examples.

muri4mig:
I did not agree with Akpabio about dat particular streetlight at bolingo junction. I have never see dat streetlight not functioning before. It's one of the traditional streetlight in abuja. Is never part of the bala Muhammed scam. Can anybody come forward to disbunk or confirm dis allegation. To the best of my knowledge, dat street is one of the most functioning streetlight. The senetor of a deviant violated the traffic law to catch up with his flight that I am sure he was already late.

Na lie lie go kill this my former Governor. Akpabio tell lies for a living, don't mind him. Three months ago, he came out to say that his government is not owing upto 60 billion naira. Three months later, after a lot of pressure, the new government came out to say that Akwa Ibom is owing 64.5 billion naira and they use 3 billion plus to service the debt every month (what a lie). But from a secret source, Akwa Ibom debt is far more than that, but they are trying to cover it to avoid probe and criticisms. The worst of it is that the House of Assembly has no record of the loan, which is the normal practice as stipulated by law. GOD WILL DELIVER US. UNCOMMON TRANSFORMATION IS A SCAM.

Ikpewe:
"I have built a 21st century hospital in Akwa Ibom, the best in the world" but where are you now? You have succeeded to divide Akwa Ibom people because of greed. God will surely judge you and your cronies for stealing Akwa Ibom dry, killing, kidnapping and framing up innocence people. Come back home and answer your crimes against the good people of Akwa Ibom State.

bro that is why i do tell those supporting Akpabio that God will rule them the way Akpabio ruled my dear Akwa Abasi Ibom State. He has succeeded in destroying the state. Now my state is owing in hundreds of billions of naira.

supersonic:
What happened to the first class hospital he built with TAX PAYERS' money in his state. Does that mean the hospital's status is nothing but propaganda?

Bros that so called 'world class hospital' was only commissioned without facilities. Take a stroll to that place you will know that there is no single patient there. This is the hospital that was commissioned many months ago. Billions of naira have been sunk into it but not yet ready. That was how i was shocked to my marrow when i went to the e-library sometime ago and i was told that i can only make use of the hard copy. That the e aspect of the library is not ready. I was highly disappointed after much hype about these projects. We have been scammed here o.

freeage7:
I think Ijaw makes up 10% of Nigeria's total population. Making them the 4th ethnic group in Nigeria. Do you think otherwise?

bro you are wrong.

VickJames:
Igbos are the third largest ethnic group in the south south region. If efik/ibibio/annang will be joined together, I think they'll be the second largest population in the south south. Ijaws are the largest ethnic group in the south south, looking at the number of states they occupy.

Bros how many LGs do they occupy in River and Delta and what is the population of Beyelsa state? The fact that the Ijaws are found in every riverine areas does not mean they are the most populated in SS. EFIK/ANNANG/IBIBIO is the largest in the SS.

OfoIgbo:
I didn't write that SS Igbos are more than Ijaws. There was no order in the list that I provided.
Ok, Igbos in Edo, Bayelsa, Cross River and Akwa Ibom are up to three hundred thousand. Igboids in Rivers and Delta states are way in excess of three million.
Altogether, they are nearly 4 million, so they are definitely more than Urhobos.

Now the Efik/Ibibio/Annang collection are quite numerous. They have two states and they are not the least populous

Bros you got it. EFIK/ANNANG/IBIBIO IS THE LARGEST AND IT IS CONSIDERED THE FOURTH LARGEST IN NIGERIA.

Goodboiyy:
lies, Ijaw constitute 40% Of SS landmass

am nt an Ijaw man, but truth b told, Ijaw re the major tribe in my beloved SS, Don't don't were u got ur fact from

Bro it is Efik/Ibibio and not Ijaw.

pazienza:
The thread is a bit divisive in nature.

If we consider the Efik-Ibibio-Annang-Oron as one entity with a yet to be established common name.

Then it can be safely said that they are the largest ethnic group in AS.

If we are to consider the Igboids ie Rivers: Ikwerres, Etche, Asa, Ndoki, Ogba, Ndoni,Ekpeye,Egbema, Edo: Igbanke, Inyelen, Irun, Ekpon, etc, Akwa-ibom: Ndoki towns, Cross Rivers: Abi LGA( can we consider the Agbos of Abi as Igbos?), Delta : Ika, Ukwuani, Oshimili, Aniocha.

If we consider all these Igbo speaking groups as Igbos, then Igbos might be giving Ijaw speaking groups a run for that second spot.


So for me, the arrangement is:

1,Annang-Efik-Ibibio-Oron
2, Ijaw
3, Igbo

EFIK/ANNANG/IBIBIO IS CONSIDERED AS THE FOURTH LARGEST GROUP IN NIGERIA. But some people will come and express their ignorance here.

BabaTony:
Very good set of questions. Its like saying English Language has the most speakers. Wrong! Mandarin (chineese) have the most number of speakers (2billion) and counting). English is only most widely (geographically) spoken. Ijaws are mainly in bayelsa, now just as someone asked here" what is the total population of bayelsa state?" Not to now ask about the population of ijaw there then the population of ijaw in other places which will be rivers (ikwere majority) and delta.,for me ibibiod (Majorly in akwa ibom and crossriver) takes the number one spot. Then Ijoid, then Igboid, then urhobo...

Ijaws are normads, they are found in every riverine areas due to their occupation. They don't have the population compare to Ibibio. How many Local Govts do they occupy in Rivers and Delta and what is the population of Bayelsa state? These are the salient questions people shoule ask instead of jumping into quick conclusion. EFIK/ANNANG/IBIBIO DOMINATE THE SOUTH SOUTH.

BROS YOU SEE WELL

OfoIgbo:
Igboids are the majority in Rivers state, followed by Ijoids.

Igboids make up about 60% of Rivers state. By Rivers state Igboids, I mean, Etche, Omuma, Ikwerre, Ndoni, Egbema, Ogba, Obigbo/Oyigbo, Ekpeye, Igbo speakers in Bonny and Opobo e.t.c
Rivers Ijoids include Kalabari, Andoni, Okrika, Ibani speakers in Bonny and Opobo e.t.c.

When you add the Igboids in Rivers with those in Delta, Edo, Bayelsa, AkwaIbom, they will definitely be in the top 3 largest ethnic groups in the SS.

As far as I am concedned the top 3 largest ethnic groups in the SS, in no special order are
1. EfikAnnangIbibio
2. Igboids
3. Ijoids


I won't be surprised if it turns out that the old Eastern region has 3 of the top five ethnic groups in Nigeria

EFIK/ANNANG/IBIBIO IS THE LARGEST. SOME SCHOLARS EVEN ARGUE THAT THEY ARE THE FOURTH LARGEST GROUP IN NIGERIA.

A good development.

Yeyelite:
Why is the former governor Akpabio still having his complete effects in the government house while the incumbent governor has to run the state's affair from somewhere else?

For your information, Akpabio has not vacated the Government House (HILTOP MANSION). He is still leaving side by side with Udom, the current Governor. No wonder it's a common language on the streets of Uyo and market places that we are having two Governors at the same time. So uncommon and unprecedented right?

Oh! See how my dear state has been turned to arms dealing centre. No wonder all the shooting and killing during the general election... Mbom ye ata mbom.
