This one is a good material for the Guinness world record.
Yenagoa, the Bayelsa state capital hasn’t got any street names or house numbers!
Now that’s funny! , and serious too, very, very serious.
If you ask of the house address of any friend or relative resident in Yenagoa, you are most likely to get something resembling, “near, behind, in front off or after so so and so” for an answer.
During a recent visit to that city, I rang my host, immediately I got to the bus stop, to give me directions to his place for the taxi-bike. Is response felt to me like a voyage to Saturn.
“Tell the okada man that you are going towards that junction before PDP secretariat, where those traffic wardens stand, then he should turn right and go straight down. He should not turn left or right o! he should keep going down, down, down, until he sees one big “ODILI FOR PRESIDENT” signboard, then he can turn left and keep moving to the point where the tarred road ends, then turn to the right and count two NEPA poles. In front of one yellow house, you will see a dustbin”.
Believe it or not, that was his address and he wasn’t quite done!
“Get down at the dustbin, then ask of papa Tari from anybody you see. Everybody sabi me for there”.
Uhh!
Bayelsa state was created in 1996, by late general Sani Abacha, and ever since, none of the states four successive mayors have thought it apt to give names to streets in the states largest city and capital Yenagoa.

On behalf of the people of Yenagoa, I call on the Bayelsa state governm…, Wait! Who knows the address of the Bayelsa state government house?
Enh! The big white building after the round about with PDP banners and countless anti-militant soldier guards?

LOL
