akwa ibom ayaya

A good development.

only akwa ibom people are happy about developments in the state people from outside avoid the development threads of the state, but if we say APC in Akwa Ibom there show up and comments about how APC is the holiest party and with politicians better than Jesus that are going to turn Akwa Ibom into Dubai in 4 years, It really annoys me because stupid partisan politics should not stop Nigerian from seeing and supporting positive developments irrespective of party. Life is all about individuals. Nigeria is SAD!

Kudus... if we have a 100 rice mill nation wide, naija go beta

Only the chinese should decide, or else the government will divert it to the northen sides..
