May the images of this exquisite stadium continue to haunt all blackmailers and propagandist who see good and call evil, and since they are advocates of evil may evil follow them in all their endeavors.

Thank God for you oh as you stay Eket for SOMETIME. One would have thought you LIVED there since you started with 'I don't live in Lagos'.

Hopefully you have stayed in Lagos for sometime to allow you choose among the % options I proposed earlier the same way you determined 90% of Eket nor get TAP water.

Governor Akpabio Redeems Pledges, Presents 3M Naira Cheque, A Brand New Prado Jeep To 2face And Wife


[img]http://1.bp..com/-qL4Ptg-yqFs/UUOX5AiejMI/AAAAAAAAnMw/lnKe7HzzXxM/s640/gov.png[/img]

The Governor of Akwa Ibom, Dr. Godswill Akpabio has defended his controversial wedding gifts to Tuface Idibia and his wife, saying the gifts were “only a gesture of love and goodwill” to commend the wife for standing by her husband from his days of humble beginnings.

The governor however denied the speculated amount of gifts stating that only members of Mrs Idibia’s family will be sponsored to the couples wedding in Dubai and not members of the government.

The governor, who hosted a lavish traditional engagement ceremony for the celebrity couple in Eket, was reported to have declared a gift of two brand new Toyota Prado SUVs for the couple and also vowed to sponsor 29 people to their forthcoming nuptial in Dubai.
All at tax payers expense..... grin

Akpabio causing his haters hypertension. Reaching new heights by the day.

Haters will never stop.
So why had Fashola not built a refinery and call on the private
sector to manage it?
Envy
Bitterness
Petty jealousy. This is all I see. This write up is ill conceived
No country waits until the last citizen is taken out of poverty until
it embark on certain projects.
India, China, Russia, US, etc all started space programmes at a
time many ( in some cases hundreds of millions ) of their citizens
were ( some still are ) stricken with poverty.
Akwa Ibom deserved more of such stadiums and has gotten one
kudos to Akpabio.
Stop the hate.
You will all wake up one day to discover that Akwa ibom had
surpassed Lagos. ( maybe this is the problem)
When Fashola refurbished the kiosk at Surulere he was praised to
high heavens. No one complained that Lagos is full of the worst
slums in Africa.
I am beginning to agree that a section of this country frowns at
another section out performing it. Sometimes am really short for
words.
Akpabio had built more roads with bridges than you have ever
seen a single government did, federal roads inclusive and is not
complaining like Fashola
Schools at almost 90% completely renovated. ( u can claim
ameachis own are better yet I think his is not up to 20%)
An elibrary
Schools to secondary level are free, waec/neco fees are paid
5 nos hospitals, many more health centres built,
Children under the ages of 6 and adults above 65 get free
medicare
A referral hospital probably the best purpose built is to be
commissioned soon.
The Tropicana/cineplex, sheraton on course
An airport completed with Maintenance hangar, expansion on
course
Ibom power plant completed built tens of kilometres of pipeline
from Eket to Ikot Abasi also erected a High tension to evacuate
the power from Ikot Abasi to Eket.
Over 85% electrification achieved with 100% promised by 2015
Thousands of minor inter ministerial projects most of which have
been advertised in some national dailies with locations and
photographs (I guess for pips like this writer) to see.
In the 21st century only e.d.i.o.t.s still think that it's the role of
government to build factories or plant plantations.
Russia realised it wasn't the best, China knows it's impossible. If
government have built dams please farm. Since there are good
roads please you be a transporter.
You can't be more Catholic than the pope. Stop despising the
Akwa Ibomites. They are happy.
I read somewhere where someone demanded life touching
projects and I asked are these ones death touching.
May the envious perish.

This is about akpabio, not Fashola.
Envy
India, China, Russia, US, etc all started space programmes at a

And how many of the countries you listed built cinema with taxpayers money to lift their people out of poverty? How many of them bought private jets? How many of them dash out state money all over the place? How many of them dash out luxury jeeps to celebrities...?

Akwa Ibom deserved more of such stadiums and has gotten one
kudos to Akpabio.
Even incompetent losers have supporters..



You will all wake up one day to discover that Akwa ibom had
surpassed Lagos. ( maybe this is the problem)
You are allowed to dream and it's free so dream on..


I am beginning to agree that a section of this country frowns at
another section out performing it. Sometimes am really short for
words.
Building worthless and irrelevant crap is not performance, it's foolishness and wastage..

seen a single government did, federal roads inclusive and is not
complaining like Fashola
Very clueless and ignorant. Stop lying to yourself...

Schools at almost 90% completely renovated.
You must be building the invisible schools for him on NL..

Akpabio, you are the man! A true Akwa ibom man, You have sent these good for nothing APC goons hypertensive with your projects in Akwa Ibom, each time they see your projects hypertension sets in because it was not what they expected. They didn’t get to see this one coming. Now they are all over Nairaland running from pillar to post resorting to abuse and empty rants when FACTS are there for all to see. When Oil money was used to build them National Stadium in surulere they were all in ecstatic mood, they even went ahead to even build another one just opposite it (does this even makes sense?), then it was money well spent, when oil money was used in building Third mainland Bridge when the traffic at the time did not necessitate such project, they were all over telling Africa that it was the longest bridge in Africa, when oil money was used to build the Nation’s financial district at Marina, all was well, the likes of Bimbo did not write in their columns. A whole town called FESTAC was built and handed over to them in the name of Black cultural festival that we are yet to see the benefits yet they quietly sneaked it under their armpits, Nigeria spent oil money building a national theater then there was no crying and weeping and gnashing of teeth saying that makoko is still a slum next door. Nigeria spent billions building 1004 estates and eric moore towers, when at that point, Ajengunle was still bubbling with slums, gangsters, criminals, homeless folks,etc. yet these foooools didn’t complain. Lets not even go to other states because we all familiar with the story here on Nairaland. These people have governors, WHAT HAVE THEY DONE? We are yet to see. I was born to hear that Ibadan was an ancient town, yet Ibadan is still an Ancient Town! And yet these people have governors!

Akwa ibom created just yesterday in 1987 is building its own infrastructure from scratch because before now Nigeria never cared if we existed despite providing the country with its wealth and peeps are here running helter skelter questioning every move-SAD but we don’t care the Movement is on. This is the very reason Nigeria will never make headway because we have a lot of people with PHDs- Pull Him Down syndrome. They always think good things should only and always happen to them, when it happens to the neighbor ENVY, JEALOUSY, MALICE etc all pop up! How can someone in his right senses see that beautiful stadium and not call it a National treasure that should be cherished and projected to the world to see that well-built stuff can be built here in Africa. Akwa ibom is on the right track all other things will fall in place at the appointed time. Those who knew the state before 1999 can attest to this but that’s story for another day. The NEST OF CHAMPIONS will surely see better days .This stadium launch has really put some other governors on the dock that why we are seeing all sorts of write ups, columnist, editorials jumping up. This is Politics seasons so I expect more but the people know the truth and will go for it any time!
N.B. – for those who never appreciate good things, more breathe taking commissionings are coming up, so please inform your doctors to be around you that day as you watch it because heart attack can show up anytime.

All your bogus essay doesn't alter the fact that your akpabio with his looting and the largest budget in Nigeria boils down to 1 single football pitch while his mates with smaller budgets built sports complex, hospitals, schools, roads, bridges, fly overs, skills centers and so on and your silly essay can not change that..

Largest budget in Nigeria, 1 single football field and his state his broke with no money to pay state workers..
