See current suituation of Ariaria international market in Aba (photos)

Ariaria Int'l Market is a popular market in Aba. Abia state. And as you can clearly see, it's a mess right now. It's overly flooded, and there's constant stagnant water, forcing shop owners to abandon their shops. The people in the area say it's due to bad road and bad drainage system. They are begging their govt to look into it for them. More photos after the cut...

There's nothing International about Ariaria market (maybe in the early 80s you can call it so). Its just a heap of mess.

The truth is, we Nigerians are our own worst enemy. Govt can't do everything. Our own part is to keep our immediate surroundings neat and clean, abi govt should do that too? We eat, drink and throw all manner of debris into the gutters and on the streets and when the clog up, we start shouting ' Government'. when are we ever going to take ownership, Nigerians? We deserve the dirty environment and blocked Drainages, after all we brought it on ourselves. Change starts with everyone of us and the actions we exhibit.

People are quick to say bad drainages but we are d ones blocking the drainages. Its shocking to know people still throw rubbish in d guterr during heavy rainfall.

One hell of a town. Efcc need to investigate the past governor about misappropriation of funds embezzlement fraud mismanagement and whole lot of crimes committed against Abians.

I dey shame for Abia State as a whole. I wish they will just remove it from states in Nigeria since the government is not ready to make it a dwelling place.

Unknown said...

Big market like this and they are waiting for government to open drainage for them, don't they have leaders and unions? Don't the shop owners pay dues, what have they been doing with the money all this years, now their shops are locked and they are loosing money haba!!!

FIRST LADY B said...

This one too much oooo

Tomijogun said...

Instead of them to compel their govt to fix their shit. They will rather come to Lagos and be claiming ownership of ladipo and tejuoso markets. To all the ibos reading this. Aba has the same capacity to be like Lagos so go back home and develop something you can call your own.

BONOR said...

ITS EIDADERS NO DRAINAGE SYSTEM OR ITS BLOCKED. AND TO THINK DAT SEVERAL GOVERNMENTS HAV COME ND GONE IS SOMETHING ELSE.MAKE DEM WORK ON DS MBOK

COOKIE LYON said...

The people living there are responsible for their mess. you can't expect the government to come to your aid every time. the reason it is flooded is because their drainage system has been blocked with dirts. Abia people take note! you all need to change your lifestyle and start living clean. you guys arent kids.
that's how they are slowly creeping into Abuja and dropping dirts around!

Rabbish!

Mumu read the post well,and get your facts straight Rochas is the governor of imo state not Abia state

Unknown said...

You must be very naive. Is Ariaria market in Imo state or Abia?? Is Rochas the governor of Imo state or Abia State. Please correct your self before lambasting others.

Unknown said...

Na wa for all these lgbo traders! So they are waiting for govt to come.and fix their market why.cant they come together and fix the roads. This is self inflicted punishment born out of stinginess they should be ashamed of themselves . We all know that all the governors are insensitive and irresponsible so the onus now lies on the ariaria traders to rise up to the occasion and do something about this embarrassing situation. This is totally unacceptable considering the amount of money being generated in that market daily

Thank you Linda, please continue to expose the bad state of all the south east so that people can see the governors for who they are.

This is life threatening.. The stagnation of water will weaken the foundation of the buildings in that environment and force them to collapse.. Not talking bout epidemic infections

Toluiyawo Ibo said...

@freeborn zina, see how myopic and stupid you are. Try and be civil for once. I just got back from a tour in which i passed through the same road you just mentioned. I am yoruba married to ibo and have this to say. Nigerians in general need to learn that keeping our immediate environment clean is a collective effort. The government cannot do it alone. When you take care of your environment and keep the trash well even if the government refuses to do their own bit let's contribute and do it. I keep wondering how there wont be an epidemic with what i just saw in Abia state. I can authoritatively tell you that the work has begun with respect to clearing the decade long heaps of waste everywhere in God's own state. Let us all lend Okezie a helping hand and support him. He will surely perform with what i saw these past 3 days.

Seriously its worse dan this. The govt here is getting worse by d day. The people living in aba sef r nt helping matters, u will be jejely swiming the water and u will now see one idiot that will bring out his dick and be peeing in d flooded road for us to swim too. God help us

Sweeping, cleaning, proper disposal of refuse and empty packing neither make you poor nor does it make you loose your with naira aquired chieftancy title or PHD. The empty bottle of water you left on the road will swim to your palace next day. Learn, change, teach your children and leave a legacy of tidyness. Your St. James bible and later day saints will not do it for you. You must do it yourself.
