It's sickening and bereft of any sound reasoning how someone will flood the thread with same pictures. This is Akpabio's style of government! Bamboozling the people the pictures on the internet and using all the billboards in the state to advertise himself! A trip to Uyo tells a lot! He is an emperor!

emiye:
I have always wanted to see more of Akpabios wonder beyond the road infrastructure. especially health and education.

Akpabio did well with the stadium he built, but i hope he has also built mini stadia, that ordinary people can have access to easily. cos i am sure the stadium is currently guarded with stern looking security men sending away good people of Akwa-ibom who might want to use the facility.

How did you know? you dare not go close to the place.

Ujoinme, your display of internet hooliganism and gangsterism is just a show of Akpabio's style of government!

Crushing the opposition with kidnapping and assassination!

[b]The Bible says that by their fruits we shall know them! [/b]we know who the blackmailers and propagandist are! You guys cannot blackmail you way into Aso rock nor the Akwa Ibom Hiltop mansion No matter how much you try.

So you even know the Bible?

Anyway the devil does too..

ujoinme1:
Akpabio was very right and i quote "We Can't Hand Over Our Future To Blackmailers And Propagandists,” Gov.Akpabio at president GEJ second term declaration in Abuja 2014

List the propaganda against your master, Akpabio?

ujoinme1:
Those who thrive in calling good evil and evil good are not worthy to be in the helms of affairs of this country. This is the hallmark of APC. calling good evil will not make it so no matter how you scream it. APC paid to post keep jumping to the drop of your masters coin.

Ujoinme with your internet hooliganism, you have simply exposed yourself as Akpabio's paid agent on nairaland. You have to earn your pay anyway!

Why flood the thread again with pictures of the stadium? You can only bamboozle the gullible.

Discuss within the context or watch from the sidelines!

Bizibi:
Nigerians are funny people...gov do something na wahala...if he no do something na still wahala....more than half of the people commenting haven't been to uyo.....abeg make the gov continue....when u go to some state and some oil rich state u go appreciate am...when delta state and rivers state were receiving the highest........what did the govs do? abeg if person dey try hin best fr e state leave am...even my state that was receiving heavy dough from fg then wetin the gov do....if akpabio change akwa ibom to Dubai people go still talk,abeg make Una leave am with hin people...focus on una gov wey dey sit down dey look una

Who is your governor let me tell you about him?

InyinyaAgbaOku:
list the social amenities you mean, let's check whether they lack in uyo for eg
the presence of the stadium doesn't stop him from providing those things

1. There is no portable water supply in Uyo, all the houses have their boreholes.

2. There is no secondary health facility or even tertiary health facility in Uyo. UUTH is Federal Govt. Owned.

3. Transportation in Uyo is solely through keke napep and few taxi and buses with no standard bus stops.

4. A trip to the state secretariat shows each office powers itself with 'I better pass my neighbour generator' wired from the ground to the top most floor.

bamosagie:
Primary Education is free in Akwa Ibom state and you claim education is not subsidized. the man is proactive in building fly over without waiting for traffick gridlock, encouraging tourism by promoting art is another form of turning the state to a destination point for business. it is better to encourage people that are commissioning real project instead of worshiping those whose phantom project are only on papers.

Yes it is free on the internet! What are the standards? Schools with no laboratories, teaching aids, 1000 students to one teacher.

Let me ask you a question and please be honest with me. Can you send your child to any Akwa Ibom Primary or Secondary School? Yes or No? What are your reasons?

ichidodo:
[color=#1980BC] Is that so? Have you been to Rivers? Have you cared to visit the newly commissioned health facilities in Obolo east and Ita Lgas never mind others in the state?Instead of writing off Akpabio's milestones why don't you come clean as to what this is all about as regards your annoyance.… [/color]

Bro I am not an e warrior, I traverse the length and breadth of the country. I have been to Ika General Hospital, in fact the road ends there, the entrance is overgrown with weeds. The place is almost nearly shut because nurses and doctors are not always around!

Like I always say, the fantastic Akwa Ibom exist only on the internet!

ichidodo:
[color=#1980BC] Are you serious? Improved road networks bring many benefits for local communities in Akwa-Ibom. These include improved accessibility to social infrastructure (schools, churches and
health centres), increased access to education and health facilities and
improved social interaction and mobility.
These are important for social and
economic development for Akwa-Ibom, improved access
to markets through the reduction of
transport costs and improvement of the
marketability of perishable goods through timely and cheaper transportation for the people of Akwa-Ibom. [/color]

You call assessibility job creation? How does having a network of roads equates job creation? Roads are important for assessibility but they do not guaranty job creation as seen in Akwa Ibom as according to the governor, he has constructed several kilometers of roads yet no job created as a result!

Eziachi:
In this day and age pictures can tell loads of lies. My take on this, is the fact that Nigeria public officials treat public funds as some lottery they just won. Have you witnessed how most people that win lottery spend the money? I have seen one that bought 5 of the same model of a car in one go.
I know that some of you have opinion controlled by party affiliations, big man followership, hoping that following them will make them become big too.
Ask yourself this questions with a clear head and honestly supply the answer to yourself.
As an Akwa Ibom tax payer:
1. How does Akpabio nest benefit my family and grandparents in the village?
2. If Akwa Ibom citizens are to share $450m , how much will one person, average family get?
3. If Akwa Ibom people are given an option of a nest for Neymar and well equipped specialist hospitals in all the local government areas with a modern supporting land and air helicopter ambulance system, which one do you think they will choose?
4. Do you think drinking dirty water from 17th century method through borehole merit spending millions on a nest? How many people in Akwa Ibom can turn a tap now a get water running out? How many had treckked to a river this morning to fetch untreated water for consumption?
5. How much do you think stadiums like the Arsenal Emirates stadium cost and how much they target to make annually to cover the cost and make it economic viable?
6.How much does Akwa Ibom planned to make annually from the nest in order to recover the cost of the nest in the next 30 years before it looks out of date like most infrastructures?
7.If this millions of dollars is your personal money or family inheritance and your family hired and paid Akpabio good salary to look after the money for you and your family and he decided to use the whole cash to build the nest and spend another millions to gather African corrupt rulers to celebrate your money. Will you join the party or will sack and sue him for squandering your family inheritance?

The problem of most Nigerians is this mentality of not reasoning that public money that their politicians spend is actually their money and should get them mad whenever it's embezzled, squandered or wasted.

There is nothing wrong with building a stadium but it's a matter of priorities. In economic terms it is called the scale of preference. Where will a sane person put Akpabio nest on that scale of preference for Akwa Ibom citizens?
Ebola outbreak has shown how public money should be prioritized watching what has hit Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone.
In the modern world, Akpabio job will be to attract private investors to build the nest but which sensible investors will plug in $450m in Akwa Ibom in sports facilities and hopes to get his money back?
Akwa Ibom need good rural roads for farmers, interest free loan for farmers and fishing industries, quality utilities that works, modern schools at all levels, modern hospitals per every 10 miles, employees paid every 20th day of the month and not a stadium that add absolutely nothing to the life of ordinary citizens, except the inflated ego of the king.

This is spot on! Brilliant, articulate and incisive!

ichidodo:
[color=#1980BC] No he didn't all he did was post pictures of the bone in contention in this thread which was the Akwa-Ibom International Stadium..BBc and getty images will agree he got that spot on...If you need pictures of the ongoing construction of the Ibaka deep seaport,newly commissioned general hospitals in Ika and Obolo Lgas.The Airport terminals and the multiple road infrastructures etc..then Ujoinme is our man.. [/color]

Those Hospitals you call 'General Hospitals' will only pass for a Primary Health Care Facility in Rivers State!

ichidodo:
[color=#1980BC] That is your opinion and conjectures. What we neutral observers can see is a burgeoning state chokeful with a vast array of quality infrastructures that is not only businness conducive but commercially strategic which in the long run will only serve the people far better than any government welfarist intervention as you have in the north and south west...Give a man fish you only feed him a day,give a man a net with good road networks,world class economic facilities including air ports,seaports, stadiums,tourism,agriculture,factories etc hr can feed his family and umborn generations... [/color]

So how does giving a man a network of road translate into job creation for the unemployed youths of Akwa Ibom State who feed from the crumbs that falls from Akpabio's table?

Has the state invested in agriculture?

arresa:
Teslim Balogun stadium enter getty image.. What a wonderful achievement..


Kudos to Lagos state

What an achievement!

arresa:
The new gold standard for achievement is getyy image..


Akabio's education is one of a kind..

ichidodo:
[color=#1980BC] Solid facilities and infrastructures such as these will only serve to boost the economy of the state as more and more people including investors visit,build homes,industries (including health) etc thus providing more jobs to the common man, improve house-hold incomes and standard of living...A happy akwa-ibom family is a healthy akwa-ibom family. [/color]

We have been hearing this from 2007 and even in 2011, Governor Godswill Akpabio promised building 31 industries in the state, one per Local Government, today, there is no sight of even one. The happy Akwa Ibom family exist only on the internet on pictures posted by ujoinme

Akwa Ibom State for now is not investor friendly as any investor will have to pass through the Akpabio's family to make any investment that is why seven years after 'Uncommon Transformation', no genuine investor has made any investment and the Akpabio's family had long relocated to Lagos

arresa:
So, common man in Akwa Ibom dey collect garri from BBC and Getty images or they go to BBC and getty images when they are sick because their incompetent and lack of sense of priority GOVERNOR think football pitch and images are more important than hospitals ... LMAO...

You people no go kill pesin with lafta I swear..LWKMD

That is the reasoning of a fellow who has benefitted from Free and Compulsory Education...

The Akpabio apologist are here to rant and call names without discussing within the context of the thread. Akpabio is a fraud! I'm still waiting to see pictures of World Class schools, World class hospitals etc. No one has posted any pictures of these. The only pictures posted are the stadium and the library with no light during work hours.

Still waiting...

Akpabio spent money billions to 'wow' everybody in the world that he is the best! He has laid no foundation in terms of planning for the next government! There are no jobs in Akwa Ibom no argument about that! Education is zero, one teacher to 700 students in government secondary schools, after seven years of 'uncommon transformation' there is sadly no 'world class' health facility in the state!

Akpabio and his paid internet warriors can continue their brainwashing of the gullible! Colourful pictures on the internet doesn't translate to having a state that is working!

It took a state seven years of 'uncommon transformation' to attract just one chemical plant to the state which seems political but let's see how it unfolds!

Akpabio is a fraud! Imagine a State with such a stadium with no good hospital and this as a tertiary institution called Akwa Ibom State University.



I can smell mediocrity and backwardness, besides he has not given graduate and postgraduate scholarships for eight years. only family and friends.

Post any scholarship scheme advert from Akwa Ibom State government from 2007 -2014.

With no graduate and post graduate scholarship, this what Akpabio has offered in Education for 8 years

First of its kind University with EFT donated buildings

Where are your students?

No hiding place

Just incase you are not aware.

You just displayed Akpabio style of government; bully, media noise with no sensible intellectual discourse. I have sent the message to the people, there was no point flooding the thread with pictures that is all over the internet again.

You just showed the gangster life style of Akpabio of pushing, attacking and drowning the truth.

Nigerians are intelligent and wise! This tactics works only in Akwa Ibom where all billboards carries your masters picture and the 'wonderful uncommon transformation' he has done.

We shall see!

Ujoinme, you and your boss have nothing to offer than posting the same pictures over and over again taken at different angles as seen in the Uyo thread!. Please Post a picture of the Akwa Ibom State University, 'the glorified secondary school'.

I can see you are the personal assistant to the governor on Nairaland matters!
