OVI will continue to give the enemies of Aba and Ngwa serious emotional concussions. Some Uche Ogah the fraudster's paid agents and enemies of progress will soon come here and be talking nonsense. With OVI, Abia state is in safe hands. Keep up the good work my able governor.

InyinyaAgbaOku:
I don't get it.
The Chinese will now be the ones making shoes in Aba or what?
And the capital flight goes where?
Pleeaaaaaase

drake2000x:


How will you get it when you are an Afonja. The Chinese loan is simply to expand the industry and meet global demand. The labor force will still be locally filled Aba crafters. The goal is to to take design orders from Wal-Mart, Target , Sears, e.t.c., and mass produce whatever they demand. Right now these giant retail products are being made in Mexico, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Malaysia because they have giant factories to meet their demands. That's what Aba is looking forward to. Instead of small individual shops, they can harness them all into giant factories with mechanized equipment to mass produce. The
ingenuity and design will still be Aba!

InyinyaAgbaOku:


The money goes where?

meezynetwork:
All this is talk. We need it running and working first before praising. Delta state did similar thing during the time of uduaghan but the establishment is in comatose now. It didn't even work for one day after the commissioning. So forget all this political moves. I don't know why nothing works in nigeria

Goes into your ewedu afonja cone skull!

ZombieTERROR:

Who explained well
But he didn't really get ur explanation
It wasnt sarcasm
Maybe u try again
Not sure he is an afonja though

drake2000x:


Trust me he is...I know them very well. They will open an account and pretend they are Igbos, able to fool you if you are not aware of their antics. I know them very well just like rat posion knows Awolowo!

PDJT:


-He is not the Governor of Ngwaland, but Abia State.
-And do you realise the politician you're praising hasn't paid Teachers salary(6 months), Pensioners stipends(7 months) & Civil servants' salary for many months, many of who are Ngwa sons and daughters with families? - Pension & Salary remuneration, the least you can expect from a serious govt.

-Here you're getting excited and praising an incompetent politician for a private foreign investment proposal/promise.
