proeast:
Lol, you really must be new to nairaland. Please do small research about Proeast before embarrassing yourself.

This thread is to proffer ideas on how to develop the gold mine in Aba and never about mockery. I'm the last person that will mock an enterprising city like Aba.

Afonja,you cannot deceive me.How is Ibadan?

proeast:
Anyone who visits Ariaria market will weep at the opportunities wasting away. This market is unarguably one of Africa's largest markets with tens of thousands of shops and production clusters. This market that used to be a pride to not just Aba or Abia State but indeed all Igbos has been reduced to a source of shame and embarrassment.

That Ariaria was allowed to decay is an indictment on all the governors that have ruled Abia State since 1999. It shows they're all a bunch of mediocres who are not fit to govern a state. I was going through my Twitter page a couple of pages ago only to be embarrassed at gory pictures that were trending and they called it Ariaria! The worst is that some of the handles displaying it has hundreds of thousands to millions of followers cut across the globe! In a modern world where information travels at the speed of light, this was nothing but gross demarketing of Aba, Abia State and to an extent SE region. It was indeed a huge shame!! Then I wondered why Ariaria would be like that, a market hub and production centre?!

Ariaria is not just a marketing hub but also a massive production cluster where goods like shoes, bags, cloths, belts are mass produced. However, it makes one to cringe when you look at how irresponsible governance has allowed a goldmine to be wasting away when it requires just policy making and passion to turn the tide and make Ariaria the money spinner it ought to be for Abia State.

It has become critical for Ariaria to be demolished in phases and be replaced with either a massive mall or several mid sized malls and plazas clustered together. There is nothing modern or international about Ariaria in its present state. I don't know if Okezie Ikpeazu is just plain wicked, bereft of ideas or an ogboni man to have left Ariaria in that state. Can't he look at what is going on in Ebonyi State and the revolutionary works of Umahi. Ebonyi is supposed to be a far poorer state than Abia but the sort of projects Umahi builds is something all the idiotic governors of Abia State combined can't achieve since 1999!

I had written severally in the past on the need to replace the archaic lock up shops in Ariaria with massive malls or plazas but nothing seems to change. Instead of having 30,000 derelict shops that get flooded and has leaky roofs whenever it rains, build modern malls and plazas. Construct a dual carriage way and connect it to the Osisioma end of the Enugu/P.H expressway.

What makes it more ironical is that the state government does not even need to spend its own money to achieve this because private investors and banks will be falling over themselves to invest on an extremely viable project such as Ariaria. Again, Ariaria already has a small power plant and Shell recently constructed a gas pipeline to Aba that will be supplying cheap and reliable gas for power generation. In addition, Geometric power is also in Aba, generating huge megawatts of electricity. What this means is that massive malls can be built and they will still be affordable, safe, and conducive since traders won't have need to be wasting money on fueling or repairing their noisy generators and suffering losses from flood or leaking roof.

The multiplier effect on Aba would be massive because international brands like LG and Samsung will start coming in to open branches in Aba. Employment will increase, revenue will increase, quality of life will improve and people will start rushing back to Aba like it used to be in the past.

Afonja go and die.How is your dirty Ibadan?

Krattakratto:

EmekaA125:

Coldie:
Y in this world would u want to cheat anybody whether you are the one benefitting or not?

Bros ask your fellow Igbos.We know their cunny nature.

UGBE634:
I am not, every foreigner like me can see that Agbor is Igbo. OKowa is from Owa, a sister town to Agbor in the same sub ethnic group. Obaseki family is from Agbor and hence they are Igbo by ancestry and don't deny that. I am Edo my brother. The Fact you received heavy migrations from Bini has not changed the Overall status of your group

Igbo man,today you now edo?

Propaganda nor dey tire Igbos?

Igbo man mind your business and stop trying to cause problem where there is none.

Coldie:
An average igbo man doesn't want cheating. If Fulanis with everything they gave done and are still doing you people still gave them power, what exactly is the offense of igbos?

Bros who told you an Igbo man does not want cheating?

An Igbo man hate cheating when he is not the one cheating or benefitting from it.

Coldie:
How

They are fanatics,but they have not tasted power that is why they are still like this.

Give them power and see the real demons they are.

Idiko1:
Warri actually belong to Urhobo.

Oh no,The Ijaws where there first,but they are not interested in the land so they usually settle close to water.Uptill today the part settle by urhobos is small and even urgobos don't lay claim to all part of warri like the Itsekiri always do.

The thing be say,the biggest wahala of Igbo elite na greed.You want them to speak? How will they beg abuja for contract.

I keep saying it,Igbos need to start reducing the way they value money and material things..........If not other ethnic groups will use it to manipulate Igbos.

LamidiCownu:
Warri belongs to the Itshekiris .
Warri is corrupted form of Iwere ... So Olu of Itshekiri is in order

Not the present day warri,the one that belong to Itsekiri is called Ode Itsekiri and it is the itsekiri real home the present warri was first occupied by Ijaws,followed by Urhobo before the ITSekiri.

Biaflaa people

Biaflaa people.

Hmmm

You mean southern kaduna elites cannot arm their youths?

SHIBAQUEEN:
Call a spade a spade, if you feed from the corrupt politics that is norms in Nigeria then you are free to make a political statement here but as far as am concern it was a glorious celebration with or without Delta state government even the representative was wobbling with his speech and FYI the Olu does not need any petty monthly Stipends received by other Kings from your state government because the land is richly blessed with enormous resources and his position does not stop him from continuous participation as a member or BOD that he currently occupied .Like I said in my post earlier I’m a Delta from noble but not an Itsekiri.

Yes without Okowa the ceremony took place successfully,then why are you still mentioning his name?

ITSEKIRI should settle their problem among theirselfs and stop trying to drag Okowa into their Kingship fight.

Biafra or death.

Biaflaa or death.

Abohboy:
You also insulted the Igbo on a previous thread so I know that when he sais Ika attacked the Igbos i'm sure you're involved in that

Bro,na them dey first attack Ika that is why you see me replying them....

Abohboy:
Can you stop with these insults your movements are the opposite of what i'm trying to achieve

Check what he said,before my comment.

He is busy attacking Ika people.
