Pls my dear brother, you don't have to downplay others because you think beautification and infrastructural work in ongoing in abakaliki.
Why attacking other states especially abia, your sister state?
Is your Ebonyi state richer or more educationally inclined than abia state? Only a blind man will not the infrastructural RENEWAL going on both in ABA and UMUAHIA.
Why not celebrate your Abakaliki in peace and stop bringing ABIA into your matter?
Only in nairaland that you boast showing your inferiority complex.
Stop being petty please. I'm not from Ebonyi state and neither do I live there but they are definitely doing well, at least infrastructure wise. FYI, I know Abia state very well. I was born in Aba and I grew up there, and still visit the city to see family members and check on out properties there, so I know what I'm saying about Abia state. Aba is the most industrialized city in Igboland (probably the only city in the East that is supplied with gas pipelines for industrial use). Yet the city and the state at large has remained stagnant over the years. FYI, Aba used to be in the same level with cities like Lagos, P.H, Kano and Onitsha in terms of development and drawing of people from different walks of life. In our neighborhood alone (Ogbor-hill), there used to be many expatriates living around who worked in places like Lever Brothers, Aba textile mills, PZ etc but most of these companies have all closed down! What about the roads in the city, sanitation etc, are they what it is supposed to be?? Abakailaki was still a village when Aba has already become a big city buy today there is no single flyover like the ones available in Abakailaki or even wide thorough fares like the one in Onitsha or P.H. The successive governors who ruled Abia state are all mediocres, from Orji Uzor to TA Orji and now Okezie Ikpeazu. Umuahia used to be far ahead of Abakailaki in terms of development but look at the solid infrastructures there in the later, can you compare them to the former in any way?? I love Abia state my brother, and I'm always proud of Aba's potential which is comparable to the Asians but we should call out these mediocres ruling the state to buckle up. Igbos are not known for hiding things; we say it the way it is!!
