5---10 yrs from now..akpabio..will be celebratd.am not from ak o..buh i knw ak too wellp

You keep shouting 'free and compulsory education', is that the only thing he has done as regards education? What are the standards of those primary and secondary schools? Who attends those schools?

5 - 10 years.. Akwa Ibom People will be hiving a sigh of relieve next year.

You said you are by IBB by Abak Road, how do you cope when it rains and IBB is flooded?

Like you said you are not from Akwa Ibom, I know where you are coimng from that is why you are so overwhelmed!

shizzleStar:
what points?

Only someone who feeds on propaganda and blackmail will describe the construction of the stadium as a misplaced priority

1. The overpriced cost of the stadium.
2. The cost of the commissioning event.

shizzleStar:
another janjawiiid inspired thread

Counter the points raised! Don't bore us with PDP and APC or Akpabio and Fashola! Comment on the points.

how is this different from Lagos?

How does Lagos come in?

oya now lets start

education: (I rem watching the boss of Zenox when they commissioned E libraries in a lot of public schools in the state)
I have heard hil say several times that primary to secondary school education is totally free ( i cant confirm that right now because i dont have anybody schooling in such level again)

my very good friend Umoyo is studying in the UK today as a result of a scholarship he won (i have to confirm from him again cos back then he made me believe it was the governor and they were about 10 of them)

I know there is currently a state library that will be completed pretty soon..

I have seen and watch him commission many hospital projects

he once boasted to Soyinka during the south south economic forum that he has created over 40,000 jobs

the new completed stadium could not have bn a waste....


I have entered the taxis before


common i cant keep mentioning....

listen if you say more can be done, mehn how right you are

but to talk shit about this guy common man

you claim they spent too much in the opening ceremony of the stadium (common man)

Excuse me, which state are you talking about here? Please list the beneficiary schools of the 'e'-libraries?

By free, what do you mean? What are the standards of Akwa Ibom Primary and Secondary Schools? Post Pictures Please.

Your friend is probably among Akpabio's family and friends? Kindly post a link of the advert to that scholarship scheme and the year?

List the 'hospitals' Akpabio has commissioned and the standards too. What you call 'hospitals' are mere primary health care centres. UUTH which is a Federal govt owned hospital is the only Tertiary Health facility in the state and is always filled to the brim with no bed space. Patients sleep on the corridor.

Your need to be analytical in your thinking!

arresa:
Must you people dwell on other people and not the subject matter? If akpabio is a good man, then defend and highlight his achievements and what made him a good man.

Btw, with the largest budget in Nigeria at almost N600 billion akwa ibom is broke according to the state government while at the same time squandering billions on a common 30,000 seat football pitch. With 8 years in office and his huge budgets, the only completed project is this one football pitch apart from the few roads....so why not ask the good man what happened to the largest state budget in Nigeria..

The same fashola you are trying to put down bult many hospitals and 10 maternity centers, but akpabio did not build 1 single hospital and the only one he started is uncompleted after almost 8 years in office.

How long does it take to build one hospital? Even amaechi next door built many hospitals, some of the best schools in Nigeria and even a larger football stadium and sports complex.....

Btw, fashola is not your governor.. must you people lie just to sound relevant while spewing your rubbish?

Thank you! Fantastic response

you didnt need to mention any body when we see a white washed and bleached APC person we smell them from afar...

check my past post you will know how much i detest the the bad eggs in PDP and will not VOTE GEJ...


but when you wake up to take an APC shot on one of the only few performing Governors in Nigeria then we have a problem

Bro we are talking two different things here, you are talking politics like a politician that you are and I am talking economics and the social well being of the people.

If you think Akpabio is the best, can you enumerate in the following areas, his achievements: Education (not free and compulsory education because that is a joke, Infrastructure wise, the state polytechnic and University in terms of infrastructure has a primary school outlook,), Health, Human Capital development (for your information, Akpabio has not awarded any graduate or post graduate scholarship in his eight year rule! Forget the India jamboree, they are the only set made up of friends and family), Water supply (forget about drilling boreholes everywhere, individuals are doing that), Social services etc

Let me stop here!

OMG cost and benefit indeed....

its funny how you guys can wake up to condemn a man as good as Akpabio and see Fashola as a saint..

go back to your cost and benefit argument then think about fashola

we can never sit and talk because i dont discuss with biased minds....

It's funny how you can see only in the spectrum of PDP versus APC and Akpabio versus Fashola.

In my post, just incase you did not read it, I have not mentioned Fashola's name, please go and read it now. I am not making a comparism here. I will excuse you now, go and read the post first. Thank you.

morefire:
ok...


all me i will say is this,

if Gov Akpabio is today seen as a failure then all Governors (including my own fashola) have failed totally

except this is another APC sponsored gist...

When you understand what cost and benefits are, then we can discuss. For now continue in your PDP versus APC myopic mentality.

Probably no stadium has ever been commissioned with so much fanfare, and at such obviously stupendous cost, as the Akwa Ibom International Stadium, recently declared open by President Goodluck Jonathan in Uyo, the state capital. And possibly, none might ever be.

With three sitting, and at least one former, African Presidents (Nigeria, Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire) in attendance, along with the National Chairman and other top officials of the People's Democratic Party, state governors, ministers, the cream of Nollywood, active and retired footballers, including Pele himself, international media personalities and sundry social (and political) climbers, Governor Godswill Akpabio clearly OUTDID himself with the sheer extravagance of the event. It seemed as if the man was hosting the opening ceremony of the finals of the World Cupitself! Or the Olympics.

The stadium and its noisy commissioning are part of the Akpabio style of governance; one he has consciously deployed from his first day in office: overpriced, showy projects that can be promoted in the noisiest possible manner as evidence of transformation to the gullible but which adds little or nothing to the lives of ordinary Akwa Ibom people. Does anyone remember the first-in-Africa underground pipe jacket drainage system or the last time Uyo failed to flood with just few minutes of rainfall? Besides the president said it at the commissioning of the stadium that there is no flood again in Uyo. A laughable and a clueless talk from the president. How about the e-library, the most expensive cyber cafe in the world which, as this is written has not worked as advertised for even one day. A trip to the place on week days shows there is no light and the reading areas are always dark and hot.

Why would a government that has so far failed in seven years of trying to complete a hospital project, expend so much of its time, energy and people's scarce resources, on a one day stadium commissioning event costing N3.5bn of tax payers money. In Uyo the state capital, there is no general hospital worth the name and the said hospital project is not for the people of Uyo but to serve the purpose of the so-called 'medical tourism'.

Why should it take seven years to build the specialist hospital in Itam, Akpabio's very own first major project? Why is it that so far, its advertised cost of 37 billion Naira, the Tropicana entertainment complex is yet to be completed. Will it ever be completed? Why is the government subsidizing the cinema part of the complex; paying Silverbird to run the place at less than the going commercial rate that it charges in Lagos, Port Harcourt and Abuja? Can any sane man defend the fact that in a poor yet very rich place like Akwa Ibom, the achievement of the basic MDGs is still a dream, yet the state government is subsidizing cinema entrance tickets.

Back to the stadium, comparatively, The bird's nest in China has a capacity for 91, 000 spectators and boasts of 140 5 star executive suites. But more importantly, it costs the Chinese government and taxpayers the total sum of 423 million USD or equivalent of 70 billion Naira to build the Bird's Nest Stadium in Beijing.

In Akwa Ibom State, the 'transformational' government of Godswill Akpabio unabashedly used about 480 million USD or approximately 80 million Naira of the commonwealth of Akwa Ibom people to construct a less-than 40, 000 capacity stadium . The Akwa Ibom stadium does not have many of the hi-tech quality facilities that the Chinese Bird's Nest Stadium has and there isn't a single executive suite!

Godswill Akpabio can fool some of the people, including President Jonathan some, or even most, of the time but he cannot fool all of us, forever. Someday, somehow, the truth will be out!
