Lol but it was never compared to Lekki though but truth is Ikot Ekpene is a nice place. Very good road network and good link roads to Abak and Uyo. I particularly like the Ikot Ekpene to Abak dual carriage and consider it one of the best roads I have travelled on.

Seriously Lekki more beautiful than Ikot Ekpene!!!!!!!!! Bros Lagos is so overrated nothing fantastic about it. If you say Abuja i would agree but not anywhere in Lagos.

Watch the aerial video footage of ikot Ekpene before you argue.

If you are young an just starting life and looking for a place with good roads, good schools, low crime rate, affordable city and a perfect place to raise kids,
Look no further Ikot Ekpene is the place for you. Its 15mins. From Uyo Akwa ibom state capital with well articulated road networks that will mesmerize you.
Its 70mins from Victor attah international airport.
And very close to Aba and umuahia though the road to aba and umuahia are terrible.
the place is very lovely goodness . so that Aba road is not still repaired up till now.

talk about every other thing yes but hospitality, It's s big NO,they are damn racist. I remember growing up as a Young boy in that state,even in primary school you attend you see teachers being racist towards you,maybe it's their inferiority complex. afaha obong to be precise

If I didn’t know the people you describe as racists, probably, I would have believed what you say. Sorry, you are lying.

Do you mean as a pupil then, the teachers saw you as superior to, or better than them?

Contrary to the allegation, I am seeing them as a people who are proud of who they are and what they have.

Forget Ikot-Ekene, Akwa Ibom as a whole is lovely.
From the beautiful landscape to their oil deposits.
From their variety of delicacies to their hospitality and tourism industry.
This state is bae.

The capital city boasts of the best stadium in the country, world class mall, main library e t.c.


My dream City to live in in this declining country. I love AKIBM .
Hope to spend lovely moments there.

Just waiting for Baba to pick my calls

Stayed in iko ekpene and eket in 2010.
Preferred eket though.
But as u can see it was a long time ago.

Though Ex Gov Akpakbio did good long lasting roads covering good grounds is many parts of Uyo especially akwa ibom but the guy chop money die live.


Atouke:
Ikot ekpene is actually a great city to live in Nigeria, it's very affordable and you avoid the high rent in Uyo the capital city while you are 20 mins drive from uyo in a dualized autobahn.
Ikot ekpene is a great place for young adults just starting life, but you must have entrepreneurial drive, cos there are no jobs like every where else in Nigeria.
Ikot ekpene has the federal government college, state polytechnic , and the federal poly ukana is a stone throw, it also has the Ritman University ikot ekpene, for those who are school age.
A city park, for picnics and family hangout, a numbers of relaxation spots and Raffia Arts is the major handwork of the people of this area.
Raffia arts made in ikot ekpene is famous worldwide, even the colonialists have been known to dabble in arts from this area, the wooden mask carved in Ikot ekpene is also very famous.
The Oil palm business in hqt in this area.

Ikot ekpene is a much older city than Uyo, it was the first Experimental Local government in British west Africa, ie this is where the British started the idea of local government administration in west Africa. Ikot ekpene has lots of colonial architecture that will mesmerize you, especially the churches.

This is what Rochas was not able to do in Orlu for 8 solid years... Busy shouting "my people my people" while others were busy working..

I guess Peter Obi did it in Agulu and Ngige did it in Alor. Nonsense and ingredients. Eastern Palm University Ogboko which is Rochas Hometown is the best structured University in the entire Southeast and probably South-south.
