explorer250:
I also live in aba. But i must tell you that we should not vote someone because of his party,rather,on individuals personality and quality. For me and most aba citizens we are going for alex oti(apga),though initially our man was uche ogah(pdp) but oga orji rigged the primaries and installed his idol,formal asepa chairman, okezie ikpeazu

dejisky:
later some conduit of corruption under GEJ will come and be ranting that GEJ will get 100% votes frm S/Eastern States, we are waiting.
Team Buhari.

I am born and brought up in aba. (nwa aba) and like we say, he who wears the shoe knows where it pains.

Since the era of PDP government in aba, a city that used to be the pride of the east has turned to a laughing stock for the whole federation. Aba is now synonymous with bad road. "are your roads as bad as aba's? " This pains me greatly because I know that aba used to have the best roads in the east as a whole. Azikiwe straight to faulks road then to aba owerri roads where model roads that had no patches. Built in the 80s yet lasted, even without maintenance into the 2000s.

I remember when ariaria market was an international market. people used to come from Lagos, Kaduna, calabar , Ghana, Togo, Cameroon... all west Africa to buy goods from aba. Most companies had their major distributors in aba then.

Then the companies too. in the whole of the east, in terms of industries, after Enugu, you count aba. we had PZ, May baker, Nigerian breweries, Unilever (dad used to work there), aba textile company, vita foam, and many others too numerous to mention.
if you are really a nwa aba you would know that these things I'm saying is true.

Then the housing schemes were working. As long as you are a government worker, you are entitled to own a house if you want. You are given a free land to develop in the world bank estate. You can even borrow a loan to build your house from the mortgage bank. That is how my dad was able to build our home. I mean a poor man is entitled to a house.

We used to have free tap water in those days.

Now what have we seen since after PDP?

Bad roads everywhere you turn. its a fact that no single road in aba is up to standard. Name only wait and take road you see here.

The one that annoys me most is power. you see I live in the middle of two power plants. Geometrics and Alaoji. And I could tell you that since last month, ive not seen any power in my house.

Why the heck is geometries not in operation yet? A 450 million dollars project. Is wickedness Jonathan's nature or is he just a pure bafluck?

I'm not an APC supporter but i m sick and tired of PDP and what they are doing to my beautiful city.

presido1:
Vote out PDP in Abia but vote GEJ as president.

Chylo:
Why did GEJ sack Bart Nnaji sef? I thought that man was doing a great job. Its the likes of Diezani and Wike that he will allow to continue.

lacasa:
Will ur feellow abia people read n follow ur wise words?

We pray they see d light

explorer250:

ogah he built the aba>owerri>porthacourt expressway for us. Besides no head of state or president has done anything for us even the so called Gmb, rather he stopped the train project in the west due to tribalism. We igbo are progressing even without FG. The train running runing in aba and other south east cities today which i have seen with my eyes, the hospital in my community and in so many communities across south east, the freedom from goods seizure that aba and other igbo importers are enjoying today is because of Gej

What do you mean? You think an average ibo man will vote Buhari? Then you really don't know what you are saying..Apc lacks grass root structure in the east and whether you like it or not the ibos will generally vote for PDP..religion and tribe still plays a major role in the political choices people make down here..even in imo that is an Apc state, the masses will vote Rochas for governor and PDP for presidency..

shachris03:


Speak for yourself sir. The igbos of today are more enlightened than you think. A discussion with a trader in St Micheal market aba opened my eyes.

And I sampled the opinion of more than 6 commercial keke drivers and all of them said the will never vote for buhari, I also asked them if they will vote and if they have their voters cards, all answered in affirmative..funny thing is was that I asked them if they are aware that Buhari was coming to Owerri, they all shouted, to do what!..buhari can never win in the south east! Whether you want to believe it or not , let's wait till february, no need to be arguing here

9jaIhail:


I was reading and was enjoying your writeup until i detected Buharism in you. Listen young man/woman, I am not an Aba brought up but as a confirm nwa afo, every little investment i own today are in aba and owerri. We all feels the pains but do not blame GEJ for the bad leadership in abia because we have a Governor who have served nearly 8yrs in office without achieving anything. It doesn't make sense when you allow your frustration to blind your sense of reasoning. A sensible igbo person will never prefer GMB ahead of GEJ. Igbo people that are supporting GMB are either for their personal gain or party interest. Inasmuch as GEJ failed igbos and other Nigerians in so many areas, i can assure you that igbo interest cannot be better serve under GMB than GEJ. Can we be reasonable enough and not to use our hands and fetch an infested fire wood and you know what the consequences will be.

How do we forgot things so easily. Sometimes i feel like to ask, are igbos the most silly and confused creature in the whole universe. How suddenly did we forget our past experiences? How we have been treated by the past presidents and military head of states in Nigeria GMB inclusive until GEJ came on board. Even here in NL, you as an igbo person hardly exchange argument with other tribes without the person calling you a third class citizen. Today, if not for anything GEJ in one way or the other gave igbos some sense of belonging.
My take on Abia state is, we should vote out PDP in Abia and vote massively for GEJ despite hes shortcomings.
