Any wise man that gives a full analysis of Akpabio's administration will end up ashamed of Akpabio. Flyover where tbere is no traffic, subsidizing cinema instead of education, little investment in education and youth enlightenment etc. A State as small as Akwa-Ibom earning so much money should have been a haven of sort or should have witnessed poverty reduction, reduction on outward migration, improved standard of living etc.
So your opinion he has to wait until there's traffic before he builds the fly over! What a. "Sensible" post. Smh

Is that why Thief'nubu has been to London many times this year huh There is no hospital in Lagos state after almost 16 years of continuous, unbroken progreTHIEF administration with N 3 trillion spent by the Arewa People's Congress, APC shocked
[/s]


1. The fact that people are free to go anywhere in the world to seek medical treatment doesn't there are no hospitals in Nigeria same way your president and his wife fly all over the world for medical attention.

....but of course, below is your president's hospital legacy in his own state...

2. Fact remains that Lagos state government built many hospitals and 10 marternity centers

3. Fact remains that Akpabio did not build 1 single hospital.

4. Facts remain that Akpabio did not build one single classroom


I know you are a troll, but troll with common sense and facts...

1. You know you can not list the imaginary project so why bother with the same lies and BS...

2. Akpabio can not commission what doesn't exist or what he did not award any contracts for.

3. Below are the list of the ongoing major projects Akwa Ibo.


Tunnel scheme. Uncompleted

Airport. Uncompleted

Tropicana. Uncompleted

Hospital. Uncompleted


4. Imagine the state with the largest budget in Nigeria and 8 years in office without new schools, hospitals and visionary projects while states with far less resources built stadiums, many many hospitals, many any schools with superior visionary projects..


5. States with smaller budgets are commissioning dozens and hundreds of projects, but the state with the largest budget have less than ten projects and half are not even completed after 8 years in office....

What a sad shame...

The airport is one of his many uncompleted project and it doesn't have the longest runway in Nigeria so don't even talk about in Africa.

Osun airport ’ll have longest runway in Nigeria..

Eziachi:
In this day and age pictures can tell loads of lies. My take on this, is the fact that Nigeria public officials treat public funds as some lottery they just won. Have you witnessed how most people that win lottery spend the money? I have seen one that bought 5 of the same model of a car in one go.
I know that some of you have opinion controlled by party affiliations, big man followership, hoping that following them will make them become big too.
Ask yourself this questions with a clear head and honestly supply the answer to yourself.
As an Akwa Ibom tax payer:
1. How does Akpabio nest benefit my family and grandparents in the village?
2. If Akwa Ibom citizens are to share $450m , how much will one person, average family get?
3. If Akwa Ibom people are given an option of a nest for Neymar and well equipped specialist hospitals in all the local government areas with a modern supporting land and air helicopter ambulance system, which one do you think they will choose?
4. Do you think drinking dirty water from 17th century method through borehole merit spending millions on a nest? How many people in Akwa Ibom can turn a tap now a get water running out? How many had treckked to a river this morning to fetch untreated water for consumption?
5. How much do you think stadiums like the Arsenal Emirates stadium cost and how much they target to make annually to cover the cost and make it economic viable?
6.How much does Akwa Ibom planned to make annually from the nest in order to recover the cost of the nest in the next 30 years before it looks out of date like most infrastructures?
7.If this millions of dollars is your personal money or family inheritance and your family hired and paid Akpabio good salary to look after the money for you and your family and he decided to use the whole cash to build the nest and spend another millions to gather African corrupt rulers to celebrate your money. Will you join the party or will sack and sue him for squandering your family inheritance?

The problem of most Nigerians is this mentality of not reasoning that public money that their politicians spend is actually their money and should get them mad whenever it's embezzled, squandered or wasted.

There is nothing wrong with building a stadium but it's a matter of priorities. In economic terms it is called the scale of preference. Where will a sane person put Akpabio nest on that scale of preference for Akwa Ibom citizens?
Ebola outbreak has shown how public money should be prioritized watching what has hit Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone.
In the modern world, Akpabio job will be to attract private investors to build the nest but which sensible investors will plug in $450m in Akwa Ibom in sports facilities and hopes to get his money back?
Akwa Ibom need good rural roads for farmers, interest free loan for farmers and fishing industries, quality utilities that works, modern schools at all levels, modern hospitals per every 10 miles, employees paid every 20th day of the month and not a stadium that add absolutely nothing to the life of ordinary citizens, except the inflated ego of the king.
who is this f.ool?mazi Ezeachi Why dont you ask TA orji or Okorosha these your "well thought out questions" your state govt. can use this question which ever one is your state. As for Akpabio, Majority of Akwa Ibom people are with him period.

Our pictures in Akwa Ibom dont lie anything we post about akwa ibom when you get here you will see them live, I get you on that point because last week when i went to owerri i was very dissapointed because all the pictures Agbaworo has posted about imo state are paint brushed. the roads are very bad my car got stucked in ihiagwa, so i get your point about pictures lying. that sleigh of hand only happens with okorosha not in AKS,
When okorosha says he will build Prince and princes hotel in owerri, the hotel is a hoax or exists only on Agbaworo imagination and on his APC propaganda Nairaland page and not on ground. When Akpabio says hes going to build Hilton hotel in Uyo, and four points by sheraton in Ikot ekpene you go to the sites and see those structures at advanced level of completion.

The difference between the two is glaring, Akpabio is a leader we can trust not a fraud star like grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

Anglican Bishop tackles Governor
Akpabio on massive poverty in
Akwa Ibom

The Anglican Bishop of Uyo Diocese, the Rt. Rev. Isaac Orama,
has advised Governor Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom to fight
the widespread unemployment and poverty in the state.
Mr. Orama gave the advice on Saturday in Uyo, while
delivering the Bishop’s Charge 2012 at the first session of the
sixth Synod of the Anglican faithful drawn from churches in
the Uyo Diocese.
The Uyo Diocese of the Anglican Church was created 20 years
ago for all the churches in the Anglican Communion in Akwa
Ibom and would celebrate its 20 th anniversary in November.
The bishop said that unemployment and poverty were major
issues in Akwa Ibom that needed “urgent” attention from
government.
Governor Akpabio is widely celebrated in the local media and
the Peoples Democratic Party for “governing Akwa Ibom State
well”.
But residents say beyond the facade, the poverty and
unemployment rate in the state remained among the highest
in the country.
Local contractors are routinely ignored for multinationals in
the execution of infrastructural projects, and residents
complain of huge capital flights from the state.
The largest employer of labour in the state remain the civil
service which is already overstaffed.
Most state-owned industries have closed shop and the state is
not known to have attracted any substantial investment in
spite of Governor Akpabio’s several overseas trip in search of
foreign investors.
The clergy, in his courageous address to the governor,
therefore urged the state government to approach the
proposed industrialisation of the rural communities with
seriousness.
“The government should speed up this industrialisation
projects for the provision of employment for the youths,
who will be trained by the free and compulsory education
programme.

Beyond Nairaland politics I must say that Akpabio has killed a hope or dream with his callousness or may I say wickedness or maybe lack of conscience. All the people deliberately or innocently posting manipulated pictures should bare in mind that the deceit will not last forever.

I have started my Eastern tours and I must tell this truth that Akwa Ibom is in a mess. The poverty there is probably the worst in Southern Nigeria and its a shame that the Governor has wasted 8 years of oil boom on only few major roads done deceitfully for camera manipulation.
