The first picture is Chime avenue, Enugu the 2nd is Mobolaji Bank-Anthony way, Lagos. The 3rd is Olusegun Obasanjo way abuja and the last is IBB way Abuja.

The aim was to show how the empty median of the first picture at Chime avenue,Enugu can be appropriately transformed with trees and flowers as in the median of the later pictures.

spodathug: Please can somebody pls help me make list of largest igbo cities by population and wide land area of development because I am in a deep argument now with someone about owerri and umuahia which is more developed and large. Pls brothers and sisters in this thread help me out with the above list and clarify me on owerri and umuahia,if possible let's debate about both cities. Thank you

No need for your argument. Owerri is bigger and more developed than Umuahia. Having said that, there is no accurate census of Igbo nor Nigerian cities.

For example, according to Nigerian census, Onitsha is smaller than Ogbomosho or Osogbo! If you use google earth to compare these cities, you'd laugh at such idiocy! In spite of having mainly high rise multiple storey buildings, You will also visually see Onitsha sprawling with concentration of buildings, while those cities purportedly more populated than Onitsha have nobody living there! Unless they are ghosts and have no houses!

You know that is like saying Afikpo is more populated than Kano which obviously a satellite view of both cities will expose the lie. But in Nigeria, weird things happen and ridiculous figures are considered official.

OkijaAmaka: YEA, if we will get the accurate census of Igbo cities and towns, we will first of all discard anything from hatefilled and tribalistic Nigeraia Government.

i think by landmass Enugwu is the biggest followed by Aba.

Onitsha is populated but the layouts and environs are very close to one another, then Asaba, Nnewi and Ekwulobia are there taking away its population, Onitsha has many towns to contend with but its populated.

I have not been to owerre wela shaa

spyder880: Presidential road roundabout , to Obiagu Enugu.

Unemadu: Enugu got it wrong with this open drains nonsense. I mean i can forgive the old constructions but not the new ones. Open drains are so old school. This is one edge Asaba, Calabar, Uyo has over Enugu

Beyond the gimmicks all those places you mentioned are 90% open drainages except Calabar North. If you visit Calabar South, your views will change. In Nigeria, critics see only the good they want to see and talk about the bad.

Unemadu: o

But what is the rational behind building open drains in modern times

abagoro:

You know I don't like open drainage but you tried to give a wrong impression that all the roads constructed in Uyo, Calabar and Asaba have closed drainages. The only Governor that constructed 100% closed drainages even in slums is Amaechi. The rest just did it along major roads and some like Akpabio and Orji constructed without drainages at all in some instances.

Unemadu:

You got it wrong! Im not creating any false impresion

Im taliking about new constructions not the old roads

Any new road constructed in Asaba for instance has closed drainage

Even Lagos has caught on

Same with most south south states

U cannot tell me portharcourt has 100% covered drainage

abagoro:

If you are talking about major roads then I can tell you that 100% of major roads in Port-Harcourt have closed underground drainage. Most States in Nigeria are constructing their new major roads with closed drainages but they don't do so in the inner streets. Only Rivers is doing it in inner streets. 90% of Port-Harcourt has open drainage BTW. Same with others.

Unemadu:

Lagos is doing it o

abagoro:

This part of Enugu looks like Ibadan. I guess its the oldest part of town.

Alert!!!: Don't be deceived. This is not Abagworo, he is an imposter!
You are arguing with an abo.ki that likes to pretend he is Ikwerre. Be on the look out!

spyder880:

Bros, I also live in Port Harcout o

abagoro:

I think stretch of Ikwerre/Owerri road from Mile3 to Rukpokwu is the lone exception. Mile 1 to 3 has been covered with underground drainage but from AGIP to Rukpokwu is open.

Unemadu:

Hehe Abagworo u just dey shift goal post
