I am from Imo state and I think Abia is the worst state in the country going by verifiable facts. Abia was created out of Imo state in 1991 with the hope that it would accelerate development there because of the way the ngwas of Aba ngwa were complaining that Owerri was getting all the attention to the detriment of Aba which was the economic centre of the state. So 29 years later, how has Abia fared?

The situation of the state calls for urgent and drastic action to be taken. The civil service is awful, basic infrastructure is dilapidated, governance is non existent. So many Abians now claim indigenes of Rivers State as a result of shame of being from Abia. If the trend is allowed to continue, Igbos may lose a substantial population of our people in the next 25 years.

Since rescuing the state is near impossible due to the water-tight oaths that governors of the state take to keep the state and its people in perpetual captivity, I propose reabsorbing the state back to Imo state since we share similar culture. What is your take? Sensible contributions please.

Aba the dirtiest city in west Africa.

What are you talking about man?

Things will get better with time.

Totally agreee with you.


Imo and Abia are on same category of development so both will fall in place constructively.

I stand with your suggestion.

Plus they don’t have a governor now he’s trapped in the US.
