Shukazu:
I guess he is of your Kindred , so you can defend him

Say whatever you like, you don't throw away the baby with the bath water.

I don't like him either neither do i work for him, but I would be fair in stating some of his achievements.

proeast:
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!!

Constructive criticisms are most welcome. But sadistic rants like "abia is cursed", "abia is not progressive" are injurious to the overall goodwill of abia.

Abia is doing well economically and educationally, aba is progressing infrastructurally e.g osisioma flyover bridge, faulks road and drainage renewal, etc , so let's not make look as though nothing good is coming from aba or abia in general

ikennaoma:
I would have ignored your post but the teachers salary made me to comment...i want to ask how many months salary did your pay master pay out of over 8months salary of teachers and 1yr pension A worker deserve his wage. payment of salary is not an achievement.. Come 2019 your master will hear from us...

You should have ignored the post

If you have issues with ikpeazu, thats is your problem. You don't have to like him anyway.

It doesn't change the fact that there is substantial progress going on in abia state.

M. I. POWER!!!! Those days when we had visionary leaders.

Shukazu:
Is there any state that doesn't have such?

Even the state building is none existing... The former governor did absolutely nothing for entire eight years

The government house is abandoned project... So I don't see any physical infrastructure to boast in Umuahia

It's still the Foundation Michael Opara left that still exist in Umuahia

That's a lie.

TA Orji as terrible as he was completed the new state secretariat and statutory buildings as well as handing many schools over to missionaries and private institutions since he could no longer maintain them

Shukazu:
Which UMUAHIA?

You no go talk wetin you know?

Talk of Aba yes


But Umuahia... Where?

Mainly state buildings (secretariats, statutory buuldings and complexes) and some roads. The former governor as the one who did it.

EvilMetahuman:
although I don't agree that osun is more developed than some South south states especially porth Harcourt or akwa ibom... But osun is definitely more developed than all 5 ibo states put together and that's a fact

Your divide and rule tactics are obsolete..... Next...

odomanis:
You have gone sectional. Why cant you just tell him that he was wrong about Osun and give your reasons? In listing states that he thinks ebonyi has done better than,he mentioned Abia so,that takes away sectional bias from him. But you fail into it . Pele !

Actually your guy started it. To think that your state is the ONLY one developing in infrastructure is the height of ignorance and insinuations.

Remember, its only ABAKALIKI o..... What about other areas in ebonyi state.

I advice OP to respect himself and keep Abia out of his ignorance.

Jumbolistic:
Ebonyi all the way ! Ikpeazu of Abia, how far

So ikpeazu is now your problem? Why not become an ebonyian and leave your seniors alone?

Media thugs have been hired by sadists and green-faced vultures to attack and downplay the growing success of God's own state, "obodo chineke", our own Abia State.

The economic and educational standing of obodo chineke is indisputable. Nobody can dispute that. The infrastructural revival of aba and umuahia is ongoing, yet "sanballats and Tobiases" will never let abia rest.

Aba, the Enyimba City, is the unrivaled MSME capital of Nigeria, and it is making haters schizophrenic.

Aba-made products have received immense economic boost and publicity and some sadists wants to gulp hydrochloric acid.

They keep posting gory pictures of aba and umuahia before its renewed infrastructural attention in order to demoralize well meaning abians, but as always, they keep hitting the brick.

Lagos, Onitsha, Kano, port Harcourt, etc all have areas that are still begs for infrastructural and environmental intervention, but no, it must always be abia, how hateful can one get?

Most secondary schools are owned or run by missionaries or faith based institutions that is why it is ahead of other states in WAEC and NECO, But no, there must be an error somewhere. Is abia your mate? Check this out -

Alvan ikoku in the 10 naira currency was important and instrumental in Nigeria's basic, technical and secondary educational development. Zik and Awo were still in campus when he graduated. He is from arochukwu.

Prof eni njoku from ohafia was the first African VC of UNILAG and UNN, two first generation universities!

Chinyere Onyenucheya (now Kalu), from Ukwa east but married to an ohafia man is the first woman in Nigeria to fly an aircraft.

Michael Okpara, from umuahia, used palm oil and coal to build Africa's fastest growing economic region (eastern Nigeria) in the early 60s

Paul Ogwuma and kalu idika Kalu both from ngwa and bende respectively were former central bank governors who stabilized Nigeria economy in the 70s and early 80s.

Arunma oteh from item near umuahia is the current vice president and treasurer of world bank.

I don't want to bore you with a long list of academic, sociocultural and military juggernauts scattered all over obodo chineke. It will give haters a heart attack. Was Pete edochie and Chika okpalla lying when they praised the ongoing work in abia state? Only haters believe they were lying.

Stop comparing abia with other states, stop rubbing shoulders with obodo chineke. Abia infrastructure is currently undergoing renewal and reconstruction. Cosmetic beautification of major roads does not make a state better than the other. Only kids think like that.

Before it was teachers salary,now since that has been addressed, haters are looking for another excuse to demonize abia state.

Constructive criticisms are welcomed. But sadistic badmouthing won't stop abia's shine. Haters go and hug Ebola stricken corpses. Abia is unstoppable.

In 2012, a long thread titled ANAMBRA VS ABIA: WHICH IS MORE ORGANISED? surfaced. Though I appreciate healthy rivalry, I didn't think in latter years it would degenerate into mudslinging. It sadly did.

Ebonyi state, kudos to your abakaliki beautification and planning. But please, you only compete with yourself not with others. Its my advice. You can't carry a quarter of abia's burdens. Face your state and develop it . abia is doing well economically and educationally despite having a slow start in infrastructure. Thankfully, infrastructures are now being put in place in Aba and Umuahia respectively.

proeast:
Ebonyi is doing very fine. For a created in 1996 among the last badge yet having infrastructure that many created long before it can only dream of. States like Osun, Abia, Ekiti, Kogi, Nassarawa etc can't boast of such infrastructure and transformation.
Kudos Ebonyi state!!

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.

LuvU2:
---Black men re just losers. No real woman wants them(maybe last choice) so they create an illusionary world where they see themselves as the Alfas, most desired, sexiest. Thnk God many black women re now waking up to see they can have the real men,masters of this world than settling for their fellow women in men body aka black men.

These were the words of one of my very good friends, still pondering on them

Capt. Chinyere Onyenucheya (first female to pilot an aircraft in Nigeria)
Arunma Oteh (current treasurer and vice president of world) who fought greedy politicians during her tenure as DG security exchange commission.

Rochas2023:
Truth is Abia need to so more, I get am before no be property Ebony may overtake Abia in terms of infrastructure

I still get am brother. It depends on the aspect you are looking at.

Abia is RISING educationally and economically. Infrastructures are gradually been renewed.

manuelzz:
Oga stop lying and be truthful for once.
Ikpeazu is doing absolutely nothing in Abia state.
Go to Aba, even umuahia, everywhere is messed up.

Stop Lying !

Tell us what you mean by "absolutely nothing". Prove your stuff or else you are just a rambler.

fratermathy:
I thought Gen. Sani Abacha was a Kanuri man from Borno? Am I misinformed?

You are right. He is from kanuri but he made kano his home because he was born there.

KingsCity:
Abia state is a terribly bad case! Anytime I see that Pete Edochie campaign for their Governor on Channels, I feel like smashing my TV!

Who cursed them, I don't know, but what I know is the people of Abia state need to weep, fast, cry to God and pray for deliverance! They need to pray that God deliver them from inept leaders and bless they with visionary leaders

If you see the rubbish they are doing at Osisioma in the name of building a flyover and compare that with what you see in Abakaliki and Awka, you would weep for Abia State.

In Aba, you see death-traps all over the place: they would dig deep drainage and leave the holes uncovered all over the place - death-traps someone can easily fall into.
I have visited all major towns in South East and South South, and you can only see this in Abia.

Your false sense of concern is conspicuous. Abia is thriving economically and educationally.

henchamb:
Better shut up. Abia stinks

Hate and envy is such a strong weed. I'm sorry for you.

Juliusmalema:
since 1999 abia state government have been in one godfather to another ok take a look at this two States. The two have being and are still being governed by PDP. Ebonyi is not an oil producing state while Abia is. The monthly allocation of Abia state is more than Ebonyi state. The IGR of Abia state is more than Ebonyi state but the government of Ebonyi state has performed well that of Abia State. This is the reason why i said its not just about a political party but individual Governor.

What do you benefit in mudslinging a state fighting well to restore its glory?

It is doing well economically and educationally so what is your problem?
