No be only progress. Na so una wan infect Akwa-Ibom with Ibadan virus?

Okoro be very careful...

Soon we will chase all of Ur brothers from Southwest esp all those Ur brothers selling gala by the road side and all those Ur ngozi's doing ashawo work in southwest

Blitzking:
I so much love those Ak women in this life and next will choose them over and over. Especially those who grew up there but exposure took them outside..love how they speak English. Very friendly and they are very clean

They are very good neighbors, that's why I laugh at Ronu miscreants commenting rubbish here from their brown roofs.

I know u r in southwest now ...

Okoro when will u go back to abia state?

forgiveness:


That's wealth distribution. The major problem in Nigeria. Nevertheless, Akwa Ibom is more developed than Abia State.

Will you listen for a second?

Ikot-Ekpene is nearer to Aba (15 -20 minutes drive) than to Uyo (30 - 40 minutes drive). Intermarriage between the border towns is unprecedented. The people are just one united people speaking both languages Ibibio and Igbo interchangeably.

Secondly, you only require a polythene bag with two clothes to start a living in Aba and become rich if you are hard-working but it is not so in Ikot-Ekpene or Uyo. That is what the young man is trying to communicate and not this dïck measuring contest.

It is not by edifice but employment opportunities (self, civil or public) or even trading.

Ogene001:

Well, all I know is that the picture above is a rubbish waste of money

The building as someone explained is a work complex,they have employers they pay. They have services they render.
Focus on igboland. I am Igbo but your comment is disgusting.

That so called work complex is operating at huge loss but you won't know because if oil. Tinapa failed, we warned them, yorubas supported them and they called us haters. Small boundary adjustment cross River lost oil well and weed overtook Tinapa

Nothing like employment opportunities in civil servant if you're not an indigene of Abia state

Nothing like public opportunities because it is very limited. The reason educated ones flee from the city as they graduate in Aba.

In trading, you can get a job a sells man. That's for sure but the salary is nothing to write home about.

Besides, when you have the edifice, is it for decorations or to generate revenue?


Maybe with Oti, things might change for better.

Tinapa failed because Aba and Abia State were cut off from being accessible to Tinapa when the Federal roads failed.

I remember vividly that Tinapa was a Sunday, Sunday enjoyment galore for Aba traders from 2005 to 2008 or thereabout.

Bloody liar. Tinapa failed because the federal government refused to grant it free trade zone status which was the main reason for establishing it.

I don't usually quote misinformed or unintelligent submissions. As I said earlier, Aba is an Economic Hub with millions of opportunities. It is a city where you arrive with a polythene bag and becomes a millionaire in three years or less. It is a city that lifts the poor to the middle class in no distant time.

For understanding what opportunities abound in Aba, there are more Banks in Aba than the entire Akwaibom State combined. Think about that.

Stop looking at Aba as an ordinary city, it's a State that Nigeria refused to create. It is Japan of Africa.

One travel to the city will change your perception.

Dey lie to yourself.

You are too childish and uninformed. Did you ever travel to Tinapa for anything in your life? You, people, will just be putting your mouth in what you know nothing about. A flourishing business doesn't need your FTZ to succeed.

The purpose for Tinapa was to make it a Free trade zone but it failed.

Aba traders and indeed Igbo business people wanted such a facility around but had none hence Tinapa was their home every weekend. The Economic activities were unprecedented and attracted a lot of opportunities until all the Federal road leading to the zone failed and was neglected.

I didn't say they are not needed. All I'm saying is that traders in so called dirty markets make more money

False. Without free trade zone, who will do business in Tinapa and what will Aba people patronize in an empty place?

It was the state government themselves that attributed failure of Tinapa to collapse of federal roads linking them to other parts of the country so I don't think you know better. Another factor is loss of oil producing status, they would have used oil money to mantain the place while operating at a loss. I'm sure that's exactly what is happening in Akwa Ibom

See olodo. Uyo is a village with good roads and unnecessary flyovers. Ikot ekpene rubbish. Ikot Ekpene vs Aba

How old are you? Are you even Igbo?

Igbos have no problem with Akwa-Cross. We have always enjoyed cordial relationship with them since ages. After Igbos in Aba, Ibibio people are the next highest number of settlers. Someone posted a picture to glorify Ikot Ekpene only for you to start criticizing childishly. A smart person chooses his battles smartly.

It's really a shame when people like you bring unnecessary antagonism toward Igbos. SMH.

Thanks you. Banks are a proof of economic activities and purchasing power. Beautiful roads are good but economic empowerment of the common people is a topmost priority
