rozayx5: I lived Lekki, for your Info, Fashola is not feeding anybody in Lagos, maybe his Family and his Commissioners, and the touts that disturbed when i used to drive home from VI to Jakande.
Lagos is a commercial Hub, with businesses, dont tell me fashola is the one than brought Lagos to this point, a former capital with the first major seaport and you dont expect it to be developed
fashola is just tolling roads with Tinubu, imagine 300NGN everyday for just going to VI, smh for you

Bros, shey you no be Mama Iyelekute house help for Lekki ? You see, it is people like you who did not know what Lagos used to be in the past that would be asking the sorts of questions you are asking...

CFCfan: Lwkmd

The deep seaport will turn Akwa Ibom into a commercial haven. Remember that the State has the deepest shoreline in Naija .
And the Governor won't buy Mr Biggs for PDP chairmen again.

Abeg eyi... Deepest shoreline my foot some people live in the ocean remember? EKO ATLANTIC is your opportunity to live in the mist of heavenly bliss ....but we do not have a seaport that can handle titanic.. Just a business heaven that attracts shakers and movers of the world

victorD3: Am personally happy that a former no where like Uyo is now competing with places like Lagos and PH in terms of infrastructural development. After our legislator will tell us that creating new states in not a good thing.

Stop fooling yourself, UYO cannot compete with Badagry talk less of Lagos itself. And for your information, Akwa-Ibom is not a new state...

BabaTony: Spare me your empty rants. There is nothing there to see except omon ile scavenging a means of survival

Bleach baby, aka open and close... Do you know the % of Nigeria's foreign investment that goes to Lagos alone? Only a disgruntled element will even think of comparing any state in Nigeria with Lagos. Abeg park well jore...you no see Lagos picture wey ROSSIKK dey post for NL? He look like where bush people dey live

rozayx5: Please How many industries has fashola created
been in Lagos for some MOnths before i came to Akwa Ibom,all i see is a Business Center with a CEO as Governor

Ok, welcome to Lgos, johnnycake just come... Please obey the laws of the land and stay clear of LEKKI, BANANA ISLAND and EKO ATLANTIC City. As for industries, capitalist government do not create industries, they create enabling environment to allow the private investors to do business and create industries.. That is what you see in Lagos... The industries in Ikeja alone is more than the entire industries in Akwa-Ibom. This is a fact...

Anyway, welcome to Lagos, and hope you would go back to your Dubai of Africa once your Lagos visa expire, the place is too full ..

CFCfan: @ Omo Tier1: I got that info from the AKSG YouTube account. "Uncommon Transformation"

Of course they like to measure up but do not have the intellectual capacity. Tomorrow dey will tell us their sea port has the capacity to handle titanic Abeg tell the man to go build primary health centres in all the rural areas, and provide clean water for His people instead buying Mrs Biggs for PDP chairmen

BabaTony: I disappoint you. You go find tire. And it must interest you that my househelp's name is Bose.

Quiet there, go to GRA in Benin, go to VI. In Lagos and go to Iyanya, Lugube and environs and see if they are not all in abundance doing household job and their main trade which is "open and close"

[quote author=Warri _Pikin]Yes o ! Talk is cheap!
Please list Fashola's achievements and compare them side by side to the transformation miracle Godswill Akpabio has worked in Akwa Ibom. Akpabio's achievements will not only dwarf Fashola's, but will make Fashola look like a criminal.

Remember Obong Victor Attah did next to nothing to uplift Uyo from a roundly rural city. But Tinubu started the re-incarnation of Lagos,which Fashola merely continued until date. Needless to say lagos was a former federal capital with numerous federal roads still being maintained by federal funds and Federal Government. While Akwa Ibom has almost zero federal roads,not to mention fly-overs, yet Godswill managed to build fly-overs,ten lane highways and broad boulevards in his capital city! All within less than 6 years. Go to Uyo and see for yourself how a truly modern city rose out of the mud earth almost overnight!

Akpabio has built a functional international airport and currently building a NEW terminal building which shall be the biggest and most technologically current in Africa,while Fashola's Lekki airport is still a mirage. Akpabio has built 5 star hotels with world class golf courses and building more,International standard aircraft maintenance hangers, thousands of housing estates all over Akwa-Ibom, International standard stadium that can host a FIFA world cup(Advanced Replica of Durban SA 2010 Fifa Worldcup stadium), and a deep sea port etc! Tell me how Fashola can beat all that with merely a mono-train line which is still dysfunctional for 6 years?[/quote]Bros, dey don break oh! Stop comparing light and darkness. Fashola's visionary leadership is putting food on the table of the ordinary and increasing their purchasing power, but your oga own nah another story.
Building stadium, 5 star hotel, is a waste of resources. As for the Aircraft maintenance hangers, laudable project and the last I can remember, the project is suppose to have reached an advanced stage with buildings completed but nothing is happening. Remember the commissioner saying they are running out of funds to complete the project and so far no major players in MRO has shown any interest in partnering with them, and if so, Akwa-Ibom may continue to be house help in Benin, Lagos and Abuja for yet another generation

rozayx5: [b]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[/b]

So all the development is not creating jobs for Akwa-Ibow people? So who have been carrying out the so called massive construction you claim is going on everywhere? Anyway, Lagos, Abuja and Edo as still in need of house help, watchmen and cooks ....

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.

Bro with all due respect, stop helping to propagate falsehood! No Nigerian airport is on the books for be approved to handle A380. Lagos was the only Airport that Airbus showed interest in as the only viable Airport in Nigeria that has the facility to handle an Aircraft like A380 but lack the several specialist equipment to handle that Aircraft and would also require several upgrade to its gates and perhaps a completely new terminal.

If in this modern day and age someone is planning of spending N18bn to build an airport to handle just over 1million passengers yearly, you wonder the kind of leaders we have Let him use that money to build link rail service between Calabar and Uyo. I am sure if Akpabio asked His oga at the top to contribute something as per collaboration with FG, He may end up having closets N20bn to execute the project.

adeaugustus: Stop abusing the Language you know nothing about how it was created!

Abeg go Sidon.... Nah you create the language? President general of olodoistan Them dey talk about persin wey dey show us picture of two area view you dey spew nonsense about SIMPLES... Wetin concern meerkat and olodoistanis

Better go ask Akpabio for op your mrs Biggs if nah hungry dey do you worry ...

tawa89: Definitely the best City in Nigeria. It edged out Enugu by the fact that this place was a village 13yrs ago. Great turn around i say. Turning 'village' uyo to a wordclass city with an international airport in just 13yrs is quite unprecedented in the annals of our history . I don't why people like Akpabio doesnt't come out for presidential elections . I may not agree with all his personal dispositions to political issues but anyone that argues the fact that Akpabio is the best Governor in Nigeria is a dunce*no offence

Bros you don travel see Nigeria? You don go Abuja, Kano, Kaduna, Lagos, Rivers? Hmmm... stop watching NTA... my simples advice

Billyonaire: Stop that ranting, I personally have been to Afro Tropicana in Uyo, and I have visited more than 4 Local Governments there for Business. Akwa Ibom is rather more peaceful and have more advanced people than Lagos bestial population. Get your facts in place. Allow the people to advertise their state of origin. How old is Akwa Ibom compared to Lagos ? Akwa Ibom was created alongside Katsina State and the monumental change is commendable. Let's stop being biased. Any State that gets 247 electricity, will host my factory. Let the competition begin.

@ bold, that is how you know a bushman Bros... abeg go take some slapping deliverance sharp sharp...

BabaTony: For your mind now you don ask better question.
