Oh Lord, what a country! Lord, have mercy on us!! In the first place that boy had no business hawking and fending for himself at under 18 years old!!! Child abuse!!! What a state government! What citizenry!!! Gross!!!!

A short life of poverty
& hardship...

He is even wearing the
shorts of his school uniform...

Sad... May his soul rest in peace amen.

Instead of the people to cover up the corpse and prepare for burial, they're busy snapping. By now they should be burning government cars in Aba and protesting his death. Instead na... their people are their own best enemies

ignis is correct you're typing trash and rubbish...

It is the govt's job to keep the drainage covered and clean on a daily basis, it is also the govt's job to arrest and prosecute people littering the community.

I'm not disputing d fact that government needs to arrest and prosecute people littering the environment but how many people will they arrest
But why is it that Nigerians hardly live a responsible life We prefer causing damage to ourselves while we put the blame it all on govt...
Concerning covering of drainage; it depends on the type of drainage built, while building of drainage has to do with the maximum volume of waste water that has been calculated to pass through that channel

There are no hills in aba that is why the city keeps flooding when ever it rains.

Blame the parents. Born what you can adequately take care of

I will pardon your ignorance

The kind of news we read these days ....

Surfacebaba:
after nnamdi KANU will be calling for Biafra look at his state.

I’m ashamed of him and other IPOB Abia based miscreants. Tell them to vote out PDP they won’t. Clowns disturbing Ndigbo with useless chants of Biafra. Charity should begin from home.

Too bad

One of the reason everybody is lamenting about poor roads in abia state.

When it rains in ABA you hardly differentiates road from gutter.

As long as the governor distributes kerosene the people are happy in their fatality conditions.

2019 : I Weep For Abians By Wisdom Nwedene (Must Read)

Written by Wisdom Nwedene

Yesterday, pictures of Governor Okezie Ikpeazu branded Tanker distributing free kerosene to people at Umunkpeyi and other locations circulated the social media space.


Many people were seen struggling to get the free kerosene from the tanker.

I was shocked and wept bitterly when I saw the pictures because this is no longer the Abia State I know before.

From Ikpeazu's moves by sharing free kerosene and money to Abians few days to Governorship election, it is crystal clear that he is aware that he has failed the people who entrusted him with power.


I also heard that Ikpeazu said that the dark days are over for the civil servants in Abia State and donated 10 million naira to them.

My question to the civil servants is, will Ikpeazu 10 million naira solve the pains and problems you have been through in the last three and half years?


Let me quickly recall that in the last three and half years, almost all the civil servants in every sector protested over non payments of their salaries.

Let me do flashback, in 2018, the staff of Abia State owned University teaching hospital, Aba protested and cursed Ikpeazu over non-payment of their 9months salary.

The demonstration was staged Inside the premises of the hospital.

Also, in terms of infrastructure, Ikpeazu has not done well.

Let me also draw your mind to the Osisoma Flyover being constructed by Ikpeazu for over three years now.

Despite his promise that the flyover will be completed in January 2019, the truth is that the project has been abandoned.

When it comes to good road, hospital, empowering the farmers, Ikpeazu has not delivered also.

I don't know any reason a true Abia State born should want Ikpeazu to return to the Government House when he has failed to deliver half of the promises he made in 2015.

If you come to Ebonyi State, you will see what Umahi did in terms of infrastructure . He built many flyovers, good roads and empowered farmers. That's what I expected Ikpeazu to do.


Let me make it clear that I'm not from Abia State and didn't receive a dime to pen down this article but as a journalist, I know it is imperative to speak against evils, injustice, hunger, etc when I see them.

Charity can’t begin from home in this regard.

Yes, let's blame village people for his death, and leave the politicians who refused to repair the roads, and caused us to still have open gutters in this 21st century. Also leave out his parents who sent him out to hawk in the rains because they refused to plan properly for their lives before bringing children they cannot cater for into the world.
