Don't make the non-performance of Okezie an Ngwa issue. It is not! Ngwa people are generally highly efficient and smart. I am not an Abia man, but i can tell you that the neglect of Aba will adversely prevent Aba state from developing. Infact, the reason i had supported Okezie was because i hoped that a Ngwa man as Governor of Abia state will stop the decline and rot of Aba.

Aba was and potentially is still the greatest city in southern Nigeria if it's potentials were harnessed. Due to it's industries and generally more decent housing neighborhoods, many people in the 1980 and 1990s stayed in ba while they worked in PH. Today, the reverse is the case.

Let us openly get the leaders of Aba state to understand that the greatness of Abia is in ABA and not in Umuahia! I am not saying Umuahia isn't important. But in terms of what will help Abia become a mega force in Nigeria, it is Aba and NOT umuahia. Sadly, Abia state has more than concentrated the few development EXCLUSIVELY in Umuahia and abandoned ABA. Thus, Abia became the worst state in Nigeria because you cannot leave your entire house dilapidated and then fix a small room inside the house. Then you wonder why people think the entire house is dilapidated and should be knocked down.

On a serious note, Ikpeazu has done more than the Orji's combined. I've never been a fan of any of the Orji's. But believe me, Aba is resuscitating. We are getting there

sage:
Dude wake up. All the roads in Aba can be fixed in 1 year. All of them.

If Ikpeazu fixes only 25 miles per year since he came in , Aba’s Road network would rival Abuja’s

Stop endorsing trash man. It’s our people that are getting damaged by this. No reasonable person would see the filth that Aba is in 2020 and invest a penny there.

Propaganda is worthless and won’t fix this at all. We have millions in the diaspora and yet we can’t harness it. They look at the condition of the southeast and instead invest in Lagos and Abuja. Stop endorsing mediocrity and the outright rip off of our people please!!!

So you that has a working governor, does your state road network rival Abuja's own?

Hypocrite

Aba area command road........CPS

pazienza:
The same cheap Ngwa/Ohuhu folly you use to promote and defend mediocrity.

Okezie Ikpeazu became governor same day as Umahi, but the difference is clear.

Okezie Ikpeazu and his supporters are still all in bed with T. A orji their benefactor. Yet any criticism about mediocrity of Ikpeazu, his army of media attack dogs would resort to the old tested and trusted Ngwa/Ohuhu dichotomy in Abia.
Ndi na enweghi amamihe. Soon Ndiigbo will start denouncing Abia and her disgrace.

Don't balance in your zinc house at Lagos and be telling Aba residents how our city is like. Come to Aba first before running your mouth like diarrhoea

B2mario:
Thunder fire you, what do you mean by small peanuts they are giving me? Is like I'm through with you, imposter. I just posted the current and real pictures of Aba, and you are there vomiting nonsense.

Nwanne na hypocrisy. They can never see good things even when its right before them

pazienza:
See them.
Failed youths of Abia who are feeding off the crumbs of T.A orji, Ikuku ojoo Abia and Ikpeazu.
Youths that have sold their soul to devil for monthly stipends. I have many of you in my facebook timeline and I usually shake my head in disgust.

Continue, the shame will be yours. Soon Abia will be synonymous with shame. Ebonyi already replaced you lots in the rankings in the East.

That's why your a fool. Ndi Igbo are not in competition with ourselves

pazienza:
See what you are presenting as projects. Ifele ana emekwa unu. Tufia!

One flyover in 8yrs yet to be completed.

Abia problem is not bad leaders, Abia problem is cursed youths.
Because every other Igbo states have at a time had to deal with bad leaders, but they threw them out thanks to proactive and intelligent youths.

The typical Abian is deluded. You hear them claim to be wise, calling themselves "nwa Aba" like they are street savvy, when they have nothing upstairs.
Just three men pocked the whole Abia since 1999 and Ikuku ojoo Abia is warming up to come and start where his father stopped.
You type would still come here to praise him, after receiving peanuts.

It's about time Ndiigbo started telling Abians the truth.
It's not the madman that is ashamed, it's the relations.

Aba matter go kill you.

Aba is getting there. If you no like am, go hug transformer

Purehuman:
Stop all these nonsense! After how many years, you guys still hold this mentality. We cannot be saved if we cannot listen.

This is the height of indiscipline!

Nwanna if you are not in Aba keep off my mention pls. Aba has taken a turn for good under Ikpeazu. It was cos of Ikpeazu that made in Aba started making waves again. If Orji Uzor and T.A Orji did half what Ikpeazu has done, we would have been far better.



Let me let you in on a secret. Many non indigenes of Aba are not happy that an Ngwa man is currently the governor. (Sadly the same way many ndi-Igbo despise Buhari). They are hell bent on potraying Abia in bad light because Ikpeazu is an Ngwa man. I bet you that if a non Ngwa man wins the next election, the truth about Abia will come out........

pazienza:
Abia is full of hungry teeming young graduates whose only aspiration in life is to serve as media propaganda machine for T. A orji, OUK, Ikpeazu and their other minnows. You see them all over social media defending these failures.

They are even on this thread alone.


Abia is a disgrace to Ndiigbo as a whole. A big disappointment and let down. It's about time we started telling them the bloody truth. Abia as things stands are at the rock bottom of infrastructural development rankings in South East, and they are at the bottom by a distant miles.

What an embarrassment.

Your Afonja mentality to divide ndi-igbo in this group will not work. Ara na agba gi, ya agbakwala gi maka Abia steeti. Anuofia

......well it (Immaculate avenue) is taking shape gradually. Okezie is working. Forget propaganda.....

Remember Immaculate avenue?
The pix below....

36km road which joins Umuikea to Obikabia junction completed. The road leads from Owerrinta (in Isialangwa south L.G.A) to Obikabia junction ( Obingwa L.G.A.) Drivers from IMO can ply the road from Owerrinta to Ikot-ekpene road without entering/passing through Aba.

.....and I really loved your posts.....

Ope88:
Please don't read and pass, also Pardon all my typo, I'm typing out of duress.

I am from a family of six, 3 girls, 1 boy including my parents.
I had a horrible childhood experience, My Mum (no thanks to her) was something I can't quantify, I can't start writing every of the things she did and I can't say If the religion she practiced contributed largely to the devilish attitude she put up while growing up.

My mum has no good record anywhere, in the church, with the neighbours, with her siblings, we the children, her in laws and even at work, She was always at war with people, if she dreams that someone was trying to attack her in the dream, if she sees the person the following day, she was ready to attack the person.

Also, she would curse her children at any slightest provocation and leave only my brother out(last born and spoilt), She doesn't have any good relationship with her siblings and won't allow my dad visit his family member, I remembered them (Mum and dad) always saying this (don't be unequally yoked together with unbelievers). To them anyone who isn't a Christian (deeper life) is not supposed to be associated with.. My dad on countless occasion will call his mum a witch just because she was a Muslim and one of the oloyes of allasalatu(Muslims will understand this) and had nothing to do with his family members.

This went on and on like this until my elder sister moved out of the house and in the process of trying to find her feet, she got pregnant and my mom practically tormented her life, she later got married to the man, and for that act alone, she's always at logger heads with my sister and her husband..

Later, I got married and then my younger sister followed suit, leaving my dad, herself and my younger brother (whom I have disowned).

Ever since the three of us got happily married, and left the home, my dad slipped into severe depression. Although he has been depressed given lots of things he encountered, job loss, no social interaction, unforgiveness amongst others, it became severe when all his female children left, then from severe depressgion, he started having mental issues, he would wake up and leave the house talking to himself, or start preaching and going out of point with anyone he finds on the street, sometimes he would leave and come home at night, my younger brother who is supposed to comfort and help him, treats him with disdain, my mum who is supposed to check mate his excesses would leave him to his folly and now he has started standing up to her and everyone else in the house..

At 26, he doesn't know his bearing and obviously we have been seeing signs of him wanting to inherit the houses my father built in the same compound.. (and we have noticed that my mum has been making him understand that every of the property belongs to him).

The last straw which broke the camel's back happened one week ago, my elder sister ( who is 9 year older than him) took advantage of the lockdown and visited my father, he is usually exited when we are around him whc helps his severe moodiness. There and then an argument broke out between my sister and my brother, she asked why my brother was insulting our mum for an action that happened in the compound, he beat my sister up and her three children and boasted that, the rest of us (my sister and I) dare not do anything and that by the way we must stop coming to the house, that if he sees any of us He will beat us up, My mum who was supposed to resolve the matter started blaming my sister, asking her why she always love to come visiting, that she's supposed to be in her husband's house or father in laws place and immediately called her hubby to come pick her.

Its been one week my sister left for her house, my daddy who enjoyed her company when she was present started misbehaving again at home. He started roaming, he started cursing everyone.

The reason I'm writing is this, my dad is no where to be found, he left the house yesterday Friday 15th May 2020 and was last seen in ITAMAGA IKORODU, we keep trying his number but he is not picking and now his number is switched off, I'm sure he is still wandering about.

My sisters and I have decided that even when he is found(by God's grace) we do not what him to go back living with my mum and brother.

What other alternatives do we have to care for him, as his own siblings are not happy with him either for abandoning them and their mum (his own mum),, when they needed him the most..


I AM SO SORRY FOR THE LONG POST.. PLEASE HELP ME.



Modified..... My dad has been found today Sunday, 17th May 2020, my sweet mother (elder sister) found her, she has been on her feet since he went missing, luckily he was found but in a terrible state, I saw him via video calls and I wept, he can't recognize even my sister again, and just muttering some words we don't understand, he closes his eyes while saying this and asked everyone to go and leave him, he looks so faint and weak and would not leave where he his...My sister has called his siblings and she's waiting for the next line of ACTION from them.

I'll keep updating the house with reports from our end..

I don't normally give advice's but...... Take your dad to a good psychiatrist, and arrange for him to stay with you. Arrange for soldiers or SARS (preferably army) to lock your brother up for a week. He's to sign an undertaken that he'll be arrested if any sort of harm befalls you or your sisters. Then find a good lawyer and let him prepare a will for your dad.

PS: pls keep us posted

Indeed Ikpeazu is doing well. And he's not making noise.

Man sized drainage to curtail flooding that usually occurs there

That's the dirtiest city in Nigeria (so y'all claim)

Aba

Nigerian govt been failing us since 18bc. But this current one is the G.O.A.T.

I feel for this woman walahi...
She has out of desperation accepted an insurgent as an in-law to be. Any person that supports all this cronies responsible for our country's downward spiral (right from 1999 till date) fire burn you all......anuofia's

FG Targets N5.08bn to Revive Garment, Leather Industries

editorMay 14, 2020 5:29 Am

James Emejo in Abuja

The federal government is targeting N5.08 billion from the partnership with the private sector to revive the garment and leather industries.

The Director General of the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC), Mr. Chidi Izuwah, said yesterday in Abuja that the N5.089 billion would be made up of 80 per cent debt and 20 per cent equity with zero financial contribution by the federal government.

He spoke at the presentation of the Full Business Case (FBC) compliance certificate to the Nigeria Correctional Service (NCS) in respect of the proposed NCS shoe and garment factories in Aba, Abia State and the Janguza Tannery Factory, Kano State under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) arrangements.

He said the PPP would also lead to the creation of 1,290 direct jobs, multiples of indirect jobs locally and savings on foreign exchange demand to procure uniforms abroad among other significant benefits to the country.

However, Izuwah said the next stage towards the actualisation of the project was for the NCS, through the Minister of Interior, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, to secure the Federal Executive Council (FEC) approval to enable NCS to sign the PPP contract and achieve immediate take-off of the project.

While attributing the achievements recorded during the development of the PPP project to the economic reform agenda of President Muhammadu Buhari, he expressed confidence that a formal ground-breaking ceremony to signal the take-off of the projects in affected states will happen soon.

He explained that the proposed PPP arrangement between NCS and Erojim Investments Limited (a local company) and its technical partner, Poly Technologies Inc., Beijing, China, is aimed at establishing a world-class factory using the most modern technology and quality inputs to produce high quality shoes, garments, and leather products to meet the demand of NCS and other Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), whose personnel wear uniforms and make use of other accessories.

He said: “I am delighted to state that the successful start-up of this PPP project will no doubt lead to the revitalisation of Nigeria’s shoe, garment and leather industries in compliance with the federal government’s local content policy initiative encouraging MDAs to look inwards in meeting their basic needs.

“This project was competitively procured using the very proven ICRC Swiss Challenge PPP bidding method. This process involves subjecting the private sector initiated proposal to competition to create value for money while ensuring that the private sector takes significant financial risk and creates the efficiency needed to ensure that the project is delivered to time and specifications.

“The ICRC played a key role as part of her mandate to ensure that the nation attracts the required private investment to build our infrastructure stock to further bridge the infrastructure gaps across the country in line with President Muhammadu Buhari’s commitment to the private sector-led economic development and inclusive growth.”

This is very nice

B2mario:
good one. What's the government plan towards the Ekeakpala road i.e the other side of the Osisioma flyover? And also I think other places like Ariaria junction, portharcourt road junction (alaoji) and opobo junction need flyover to reduce traffic. Ikpeazu can start the project and another governor may complete.

God bless Abia the more.

Ekeakpara road is under construction as am talking to you now. Will try to get some pics here soon. For opobo rd., Okezie once said that he'll start one there when he's through with the one at osisioma. Not sure if he's still gonna do so sha

B2mario:
The picture is not showing

...

Took this pictures of Ogbor hill now

eduj:
ARIARIA IPP
installed capacity: 2 MW
licenced capacity: over 9 MW
consumed capacity : under 1 MW
Type. runs on gas (supplied by shell gas pipelines)

This facility has the ability to supply the power needs of both residential, commercial and very light industrial facilities of the ariaria-faulks-osusu axis of Aba. Unfortunately, many people in that area are yet to key into such an opportunity to get cleaner, safer and cheaper power.
The State government of abia seem to be the people buying more into this project, as this plant powers most of the streetlights being installed in Aba today. I think massive sensitisation/ marketing should be carried out to make more business's and residencies key into it-while we wait for the reactivation of geometrics power plant in ABA

Don't mind them. They will not see this one

ChimaAdeoye:
This news is so fishy!

So Abia state government didn't find it expedient to do these roads since oil price was between $65-$80 dollars from 2015. It is now that it fell to below $30 dollars that they will suddenly find the money for such massive rehabilitation and total reconstruction?

I laugh in Arabic!

Do you just derive joy in exhibiting your ignorance here?

Igbo kwenu!!

Ikpeazu sabi the work
