I still dont know the criteria EFCC use in arresting people.I am very sure Godswill Akpabio does not sign cheques like Fashola.

I still dont know the criteria EFCC use in arresting people.I am very sure Godswill Akpabio does not sign cheques like Fashola.

That's not a London hospital but the national hospital where he was attended to immediately after the crash. it should be noticed he is well dressed up.
it should be noted that senator Akpabio was on his way to catch an international flight before the accident and since it wasn't too serious, he still made the journey few days later. KEEP Calm.

because APC won in the central government, the once admired and dynamic governor is now addressed as being a celebrated Mediocre.
let me point this out
1) I reside in that state and pass through that location at least once every week.
2) so Many projects across the country were affected by the dwindling price of crude oil which is the major source of revenue for Nigeria. this in turn affected the time frame for delivery of that project.
3) contrary to insinuations, this project wasn't initiated in 2007, but in late 2010 closer to the end of his first tenure in office.
4) This is not the only hospital built by this administration but I can authoritatively inform the house that during his first tenure, T he government of the day built 7 new General hospitals and several health centers, renovated all the Government owned general hospitals with.state of the art faculties, including health centers. imagine primary health centers with ambulances. Just come to Akwa Ibom. I mean interior villages.
5) The state has a functional teaching hospital...University of uyo teaching hospital in which though a tertiary health facility owned by the federal government, this benevolent government upgraded some facilities in it including the popular UUTH dialysis center and Oxygen plant.
6) The hospital to be inaugurated is a specialist hospital which has been completed and equipped awaiting to kick start.
7) The above facility Will be managed as a PUBLIC Private sector partnerships with some European medical investors from.Spain(I stand to be corrected) which in essence shows it would be sustained
Instead of dying in shame, you can feel free to visit the hospital with ailments which would have demanded flying abroad
9)least I forget, I used to think it's a scam until I got to the hospital. in AKS, access to health is free for.pregnant women, including those undergoing CS, childbirth, children of school.age and senior citizens above 60years. inclusive of cost of medications except where it is out of stock and areas where such.is mismanaged.

Today, Tuesday- September 23, Akwa Ibom State is 27
and the atmosphere in the state is distinctly
celebratory. With guests and proud indigenes flying in
from far and near to join the resident indigenes and
aliens, a bout of activities, mostly centering on
commissioning of one project or the other
(outstandingly, the newly constructed Olympic-size
stadium) by the chief host, Governor Godswill Akpabio,
the people of the state will above all reasons be
understood if lost in a frivolous kind of excitement.
As I presume you to have known before now, the writer,
having originated from the popular and prestigious
Minya Clan in Mkpat Enin Local Government Area, has
never stopped being a proud Akwa Ibom-ite, despite
spending most of his growing days outside the state.
And currently speaking, he is also a strong admirer and
exponent of the man at the helm of affairs in the
state, Chief Godswill Akpabio; predominantly for his
proactive devotion towards the apposition of the
awesome instrument of government to promote the
principles of the common good and the advancement of
the human condition. That, in my opinion is the main
reason for the establishment of government in the first
place, and this is usually best garnished when the state
in question is blessed with leaders who understand the
critical mechanics of governance.
As one who is ideologically disposed to ‘big
government’ (the use of government wherewithal to
create a permitting environment for people to dream,
dare and aspire) the governor had long won my
admiration for showing that government indeed can
vigorously aim for good- one, whose ennobling ideals can
lift a people from the valley of despondency to the
mountain of accomplishment. I have said in many
instances that I have no apologies for being a non-
apathetic supporter of Governor Akpabio, and
contrasting what some people may think, my support is
not based on pecuniary considerations and miles away
from the sychophantic angle, (at least, many people
can attest to that as a fact) but based solely on the
revolution he has stimulated in the state both on
physical and psychosomatic platforms. For those who
may revel and slacken in the sofas of revisionist
history, may I take you down the platform upon which
the ordinary Akwa Ibom person was seen and defined
before the coming of Governor Akpabio.
Before now, the people of Akwa Ibom state were
consigned to the periphery of the Nigerian venture,
they were not even considered nominal members of the
Nigerian boardroom, ours was to prepare sumptuous
meals, set the table up nicely and come back later to
clean up the mess after decisions that may have
adverse effect on our lives may have been taken by
those who were ‘divinely’ ordained with the task of
thinking and planning for us. All awhile, the people of
my state had internalized the notion and belief that
the best they could offer the Nigerian state was to
operate as the masters and mistresses of the kitchen,
to nurture the babies of the privileged class and wait
for some crumbs to be sent our way with reluctance,
which we all lapped up with savor, sparkle and haste.
Every privileged home wanted a male or female servant
to come from that part of the world, and, we the
equally aspirational Nigerians did not like one inch. Our
people before now lacked a galvanizing thrust; they
lacked a voice that would awaken in them the latent
gifts of dash, the sense of distinctiveness and
flamboyance, as well as the belief that we too, were
created by the Almighty to pursue cheerfulness and its
analogous sense of dignity. Hence, they were left with
no choice than accepting those psychologically
permutated designations as conventional wisdom and
accordingly projected a demeanor of docility and
modesty adjoining self defeat.
Like the biblical account, where Comrade Moses had to
materialize and lift the people of Israel from the
physiological dumpster and depth of cheerlessness that
they had communally been relegated, stimulating in
them a new sense of proliferated dignity and prospects
about the interminable possibilities; Governor Godswill
Obot Akpabio has in his seven and half years of leading
and overseeing the affairs of the state, altered the
cadaverous, disheartened and solemn demeanor and
emotional profile and temperament of the Akwa Ibom
person. He has rallied the people through the force of
his oratory, though mostly taking the comic route, even
his deeds and common touch has imbued in us a spirit
that can never be defeated, a spirit of pride in
oneself, a sense of identity that is divergent, ramrod
in its corollaries and in the process, helped create a
strong place and voice in the boardroom of the Nigerian
endeavor.
No longer are we seen as the managers of the home
front of the privileged class, no longer are our voices
drummed out by the loud proclamations of those who
had wrongly dismissed us as economically and politically
insignificant. The Akwa Ibom man or woman of today-
from the sandy shores of Ibeno to the sand dunes of
Benin Kebbi is proud of his state, its leaders and the
endless possibilities that lay ahead for him or her. This
was never an overnight achievement, like most entities
that were once thought to be dead; the state needed a
galvanizing voice- a personality, urbane, intellectually
curious yet humble and imbued by a profound love for
his people.
With the help of past leaders who had contributed their
own quota to this second-phased journey to the land of
fulfillment based on their vision by laying the requisite
foundation for future development, as seen today,
Akpabio, in all honesty, has offered an equitable
definition to the efforts of past leaders by covering a
significant distance in the said journey. Truth remains,
amidst the much fuss, especially as he approaches the
end of his reign, the state needed only a Godswill to
have been where it is today; and irrespective of how
many enemies he has won for himself in the past seven
years, no logical discuss can conceal the fact that he
has satisfactorily done his part, and lest he hasn’t,
only God has the power to judge. But asides that, the
rolling drums, the well oiled flutes and the dancing
steps that will be seen today in harmony with the songs
of celebration of the state’s birthday, already affirms
the general consensus among the majority of the
dispassionate Akwa Iboimites that Governor Godswill
Akpabio came in at the right time in the state’s
trajectory of development and proceeding, a template
of governance and that of the delivery of democratic
dividends have been established whether you agree to it
or not.
Since May 29, 2007 when destiny brought him to the
Hilltop Mansion of Uyo, the now beautified capital of
Akwa Ibom State, he has, using his words been propelled
by the force of ‘anger’ and hunger for development.
Truly, we understood him to have been, and perhaps
still is angry because the dilapidated state of
infrastructures he came to meet had cried for total
overhaul and he has attacked that aspect with
messianic fervor, leading to the transformation of Uyo
and other parts of the state into a construction hub.
He looked at the educational sector and found that
enrollment had been affected due to financial
difficulties some parents had experienced; and rather
than being in school to develop their intellectual
capacities with a view to becoming productive citizens
were out hawking various goods on the street. The sight
of these kids melted his heart and caused him to
declare a free and compulsory education from primary
to post-primary level to all children of school age in the
state.
For this reason(s) his achievements are being lauded
and celebrated in the state all over and even beyond;
the awards have come in torrents from far and wide-
national and international, with the latest having taken
place at Dorchester Hotel in faraway UK. The people,
happy and amazed with what they have seen now are
assured of a state now well equipped with better
societies to live in, as well as endless possibilities of the
future and that of their children who will sure have one
area or more to benefit from in the nearest and
farthest future.
By the time Governor Akpabio would have finished his
superlative stewardship of Akwa Ibom state in May,
2015; he would have laid a solid structure upon which
his successor would now chose to either create jobs,
knowing full well that infrastructural amenities –
modern and world-class have been established.
Governor Godswill Akpabio is one of the inspirational
leaders of our contemporary Nigeria and Akwa Ibom
people are blessed to have him at this time of our
development. As I lift my glass in the solitude of my
home, even with the ill health that has deprived me of
the concluding festivities marking the 27th anniversary
of the state, I felt a dash of pride in my state and in
our people, and all I could say as I drank in toast of
the state, is "though we already have a few of them,
even as time and space do not permit my mention of
them; may the world never run short of men of Godswill
Akpabio’s ilk".
Happy Birthday my dear state of origin, Akwa Abasi
Ibom, and may God’s will continue to be done on you,
even as the heat of 2015 threatens to break you-
Amen!

Group arrests student over explosives in UNIUYO hostel
SEPTEMBER 22, 2014 BY ETIM EKPIMAH, UYO
Leave a Comment
The operatives of Peace on Campus Initiative have
arrested a diploma student of the University of Uyo,
Akwa Ibom State, Mr. Kufre Anwana, after two
Improvised Explosive Devices were uncovered in the
institution male hostel.
It was learnt that the two IEDs, widely speculated to be
hand grenades, were found in a bag that belonged to the
suspect by some students, who alerted the operatives of
the PCI.
National Coordinator, PCI, Mr. Oliver Cromwell, said in
Uyo on Monday that his men in the UNIUYO chapter got
information about the suspect keeping the explosive
devices.
He added that some members trailed him to his male
hostel room in the university.
Cromwell explained that the explosives were packaged in
a bag in the hostel’s room.
He said the suspect was apprehended while the anti-
bomb squad of the Akwa Ibom State Police Command, Ikot
AkpanAbia, Uyo, was invited to the scene.
He stated that the squad defused the two improved
explosive devices as well as conducted a search round
the other hostel rooms.
An eyewitness and student of the institution, Mr. Emma
Inyang, said the Anti-Bomb squad was called in to
forestall any any tragedy should the devices turn out to
be bombs.
“Anti-Bomb Squad was invited to come and ascertain if
the explosives were real. Tthey confirmed that those
things were hand grenades and were locally made,” he
said.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Akwa Ibom State
Command, Mr. Etim Dickson, confirmed the incident.
He stated that the explosives were homemade devices,
which could have been invented by any of the science
students in the university.

It's not been easy, the few students who are left on campus have resorted to sleeping in night class rather than that hostel....It's not funny at all. we are yet to get any justifiable explanation why a student should be in custody of explosives.

Police, PCI uncover two bombs in UniUyo Hostel,
arrest one suspect
Two Hand Rocket explosive devices suspected to be
bombs were today, Sunday, September 21, 2014,
uncovered in University of Uyo, Akwa Ibom state by

other anti-social vices in the Nigerian tertiary

in the University chapter got hint of the suspect
whom they trailed to a room in the Uniuyo boys’

packaged inside a bag in the Hostel’s Room, his men
apprehended the suspect and invited men of the
anti-bomb squad of the State Police Command, Ikot
AkpanAbia, Uyo, who came in and detonated the two
bombs while a thorough search was further conducted
in other Hostel rooms.
The security expert told THE RADAR Newspapers that
the suspect who was identified to be an indigene of
Oron Local Government Area of the state said to be
a Diploma student of the institution has been
handed over to the Police for questioning.

dear sister, you've made mistakes but you can deserve to live, not to die. abortion is evil..thick GOD you survived the others and if your instincts tells you will die, don't try it again.
MY ADVICE
keep the pregnancy, but don't inform any body that your cousin is responsible...it's better to be called a LovePeddler than an outcasts. just claim that you were careless and had a one night stand with a stranger.you are an adult, no body will kill you, but you can kill yourself by ding the abortion.
