Attention seeker did you receive enough quotes from your comments?,now relax.

proeast:
Thanks for your honest opinion about Aba. It's obvious you were surprised to see a large city with fairly tall buildings and not a place filled with bad roads, refuse and shanties as you were made to believe.

Aba is a unique city in Nigeria, and alongside Onitsha and Nnewi, they're the indigenous production centers, capable of making Nigeria great like the Asian Tigers.

The average Aba citizen believes in hardwork and perseverance. The youths are contented with doing spectacular works for little profit, while focusing on mass production to break even. You can check Azikiwe by Kent. That's the cloth production capital of Nigeria. There are hundreds of shops here producing shirts, trousers, bedspreads, boxers, suits, lab coats and overalls etc. You will see bails going to different parts of Nigeria and beyond!

Also go to Ariaria and find your way to Bakassi area. Here, you will find hundreds of shops and warehouses producing shoes, bags and all types of leather works. You will also see lots of them being packed into bails for distribution all over Nigeria and beyond.

Aba has lots of production hubs where different things are produced. Unfortunately, there is another section around Cemetery where fake and substandard things are produced. However, it's the job of government to stop illegal activities going on around Cemetery area.

Aba has vast potential and that's why Barth Nnaji built Nigeria's first big power station there, to serve the large SME's. There are also industrial estates at Osisioma, Eziama, River layout and Umuokohia. In these places, you will find breweries, bottling companies, flour mills, Vegetable oil, glass production, machine tools, drugs etc.

Even though Igbo language is spoken widely by default, virtually everyone will easily switch to English or pidgin if they realize you're not Igbo. They don't discriminate against outsiders because lots of people from different parts of Nigeria come to the city to buy goods everyday.

Enjoy your stay!

Why are you crying more than the bereaved?

Abagworo:
First photo is a big Hospital built by Ikpeazu in old Aba township followed by Azikiwe road he also built and lastly the road to his community within Aba urban. What propagandists do is to search and pick out every fault and exaggerate them. For example if a road develops fault at one or two spots or has heap of garbage at a junction you'll most likely see those ones online as if most of the road or area isn't good.

PARADIZEPRIEST:
Otti wey enter yesterday?

ArewaQuitessenc:
I'm here for a friend's wedding for the next few days, I was able to move around the major streets and inner city areas and I must say Alex Otti seems to be doing quite a fantastic job with sanitizing Aba; lots of cleaner roads, clear signs of urban improvements seem to be going on like widening of major Federal roads, renovation of old buildings and demolishing of shanties etc...

I must admit Igbos love their tall buildings/bungalows or "Uno enu" as they like to call it here. Ariaria market seems cleaner and more organized as well. Almost every young person I've met in Ariaria market seems to be engaged in one form of trade or tech skill,nobody is idle...everybody is just on the movie.

Kudos to Alex Otti, I hope he continues the momentum cause Abia state looks very promising I won't lie.

1) IPOB are destroying SE is no concern to me.

2) If only you could read with comprehension, you would have realised that I was only cautioning Nigerians to be carefully or totally desist from going to that EVIL FOREST called SE

Despacito1:
Ipob are possessed with NMK's spell, they're illitérates don't blame them. Buying and selling has a way of messing with peoples mind, they came from a particular state in igboland, not all Igbos are ipob/ESN.

Abagworo:
Aba is the fastest developing and most peaceful city in Southeast as at present. No unknown gunmen and no political crisis. It is left for the new Government not to spoil it like they did to Owerri playing dirty politics.

Abagworo:
It's all politics. There is nothing wrong with Owerri flyovers except politics of trying to deny Okorocha his credits which is also reason for demolition of tunnels and roundabouts then Hospitals fully completed demolished or abandoned to rot as waste. Know this and know peace. But my eeason for rating Okorocha very high is not about building this or that but he was focused on education for all which is the best gift you can give anyone you love. His policy of free education for all Imo citizens in Imo owned schools from Primary to University changed the lives of many who would have remained poor and uneducated. Human capacity building is ahead of concretes and sand but then he did all .

NwekereNdokl:
You are a miserable fellow. How did politics destroy Owerri flyover, Owerri tunnel, Owerri ICC, dilapidated roads, etc. stop deceiving yourself. Okorocha was a failure

Despacito1:
we know at some point Okorocha built substandard roads and projects because he had little resources in his disposal. But he was a good man.

complexstuffs:
You may bury your head in the sand like the proverbial ostrich it will not make the evil in the evil in SE go away

fx45:
In reality they're actually fed these type of propaganda on a regular basis and from the cradle. I've seen it first hand. A friend of mine from the Yoruba stock told me so. Infact he said the first time he came to my house in Lagos, he was afraid I would kill him and eat. Now you can imagine what they have been told about going to the South East

Keep defending evil in your land.

This was how you lots kept defending and denying UGM and IPOB untill you can no longer outside your houses I the SE

NwekereNdokl:
Imo is a failed state

obyrich:
Otti has not built any road yet. All you see was done by the previous governor only he was poor at PR.

maestroferddi:
Senseless and misguided remark...

NwekereNdokl:
But it’s a fact

Abagworo:
Ikpeazu tried but had a bigger propaganda against him.

Ttipsy:
we know... Thank you for your remark!

I know you, everything about Imo state always make you go crazy

You don’t know me because I am from imo state but I stand for truth

complexstuffs:

Do you even know how many NYSC members were killed and eaten in SE annually?

Ttipsy:
nobody cares where you come From. Keep it to yourself

NwekereNdokl:
No one care about what you think just keep it to yourself

Goalnaldo:
Since you claim its your first time visiting, the word "cleaner" or "more organised" shouldnt be used by you as they both suggest comparison ie you have been there before. I hope you dont feel offended though cause i have a goal of making humans better one person at a time.

complexstuffs:
Moving around IIGB0S is very dangerous.I wouldn't encourage anyone to be taking such risks

Their land is frot with all kinds of danger ranging from:
Cannibalism
Kidnapping
Unknown Gun Men
IPOB
OBIDIENTS
Armed robbery
Ritualist
etc

Ttipsy:
Leave Imo state alone; I don't understand where the obsession is coming from..If at all you are from Imo state

CJStarz:
NYSC members killed and eaten in South East? This shows you have not travelled outside your region. I suggest you do so soon. It will save you from making these kind of embarrassing comments online.
