The Ebonyi State You May Not Have Known by Adejoro74: 7:14am On Jul 22, 2013 |
1. Ebonyi State is one of the poorest states in southern Nigeria, sharing that position with Ekiti 2. It is highly agrarian, and draws a lot of similarities with its equally agrarian neighbor to the North, Benue 3. Ebonyi state is one of the food baskets in Nigeria 4. It can feed the entire south East if its agricultural potentials are harnessed properly 5. It has loads of beaches and natural salts 6. It is quite scenic, a property that should be harnessed for ecotourism 7. It is a highly cultural/conservative society 8. It has 3 federal [Federal College of Agriculture Ishiagu, new Federal University in Ikwo, and Akanu Ibiam Fed Poly Unwana) and one State university(EBSU)] institutions of higher learning 9. Most villages, even the remote ones, have electricity 10. Ebonyi is pristine and almost untainted, far from the madness in places such as Aba, Onitsha and Lagos 11. It produced the first and only governor of Eastern Nigeria 12. It produced a Senate President (Anyim) 13. It produced a Secretary to the Fed govt (Anyim) 14. Any agricultural investor should run there for land acquisition. Someone I know just moved his farm from Ibadan to Ebonyi 15. Many of its inhabitants can almost pass for Middle belters, in terms of looks 16. Its inhabitants are strong and unforgiving warriors (e.g., Ezza and Izzi) 17. Large rice and yam farms, and rice processing factories strut the landscape 18. It has one of the highest stone quarry sites in Nigeria, competing with Ondo, Ibadan, and Plateau in this area. 19. The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation have rice farming and processing development projects going on in Ebonyi 20: The Fed College of Agriculture Ebonyi is one of the few, if not the only place in Nigeria where you can receive a Diploma in Bee farming (Apiculture) Let me regale you with a variety of rural Ebonyi photos 4 Likes

asha 80: op how sure are you about no 9 ie the one about the remotest village having electricity?was akanu ibiam a premier of the then eastern nigeria?i do not doubt the remaining points though. Akanu Ibiam was not a premier, he was a Governor of the Eastern region when Zik was Governor-General of Nigeria On electricity, of course there could be some very remote places without light but most have. Don't forget that they have produced a senate president and now a sec of the fed govt. They have something, albeit modest, to show for it. Let me show you a few examples of villages 1 Like |

Forget all the imported rice in Nigeria ( most have terrible taste) , Abakaliki rice is one of the most tasty rice in the world. Its taste can be favourably compared to Basmati rice variety. I equally like the flat landscape of the state with its lush green fields. 11 Likes |
