Abiriba is a very beautiful town located in the northern part of Abia State, south eastern Nigeria. It has a beautiful landscape that turns everyone into a landscape photographer. Apart from the rich cultural heritage, It boasts of the largest agglomeration of architectural wonders in any rural community in Nigeria. A lot of urban geographers will be tempted to give it an outright classification as an urban settlement based on the architectural and infrastructural developments. However, most people living there are indigenes and occupation is mostly primary occupations like farming which rather leaves the classification of quasi-urban as more appropriate.
The indigenes of Abiriba are well travelled and knows what is in vogue and this over the years has affected the architectural patterns in the town. People travelled to major cities across the globe only to come back home to replicate the architectural designs they saw. In some cases, folks have brought European architects to design their houses. The people cannot be said to be mere money-bags rather they are people of style. A story was told of how the great Zik of Africa named it the Small London in the 50's during his campaign tour of the town. The story had it that in the course of the campaign that Zik was pressed and needed the use the toilet and his political associate from the town took him to his house where he used a WC. A bewildered Zik came out to proclaim the town as small London because such facilities were only common in the western world.

Please ignore such childish talks. It's usually carried by ignorant people. Abiriba people are the most hospitable people you will encounter in Nigeria. Ask anyone that has ever visited there before. It's also one of the most safest places in Nigeria. They have one of the most colorful cultures in Nigeria. Pls don't take my word for it. You can google it and learn more. Thanks
