Pls dont disregard the above info. If u were not a victim does nt mean others are nt involved. I live within this area mentioned. No street lights there, police are afraid to patrol most of these streets because of area boys. My advice is stay at home and watch the events live on CRBC.

you sound very foolish. Did he say that hoodlums are in christmas villa or the so called millenium park?
Wel 4rm the way u talk u are a novice in calabar. Let me tel you that calaba is one of d most dangerous city in terms of street hoodlums that snatch fones, bags and haras pple to colect their money. The only things dat r nt found in calaba are: kidnaping n profesional arm robery.

ebamma 3: As a calabar boy, we always pray for december to come,because from every 1st to the 31st of december the cross river state government always sponsor free shows every night at the stadium or milleninum park complex,but some criminals have taken advantage of this benevolence to rob with impunity.
As a guy who is street wise i will advice any body coming to the festival to do the following

1)avoid taking your phones to shows

2)avoid holding a large sum of money to this shows

3) If you are taking your girlfriend to shows please after the show take the nearest taxi to your abode to prevent your girlfriend from being raped by this hoodlums

4)After the shows please avoid taking the following roads because phone snatchers always lay ambush for their next victim
a)mary slessor b) bogobiri street c) queen duke street d) barracks road

5)beware be warned dont fall a victim.

I have seen all this things happen to people,please if you are visiting calabar for the festival please be safety conscious,calabar is not as safe as the government potrays it.









This is a pure display of busybody by the OP. You just described a complete Nigeria crowd situation. Btw Calabar is still the most peaceful place in Nigeria.

I have said this b4 calaba is only safe 4 d rich n nt 4 d common man. U take caly to b a peaceful city yes maybe in d case of christmas festival show at d stadium, after d show u jst get into ur car n drive n that makes u tink that d is security. Have u ever walked 2ru etim edem or even calaba road where atakpa police station is located at night? I gues no cos if u'av then u won't b saying this.
There is no street in caly that u won't find fone snatchers apart 4rm places lyk state n fedral housin n ndidem iso n marian.

Re: Information For Those Visiting Calabar For Christmas by ediko5(m): 5:15pm On Dec 18, 2012
The govt of cross river are just making noise about security when the securities are only for the rich and not for the poor n common man. The truth behind the security atmosphere of calabar is that the rich move freely without harasment while d poor are vulnurable to attack by hoodlums. The rich live in areas lyk state housin, federal housin n ndidem iso where d is adequate security n even with dat the hoodlums in calaba are not high level criminals lyk the ones who wil find in places in port harcourt n therefore they r afraid of the rich because the people they can realy confront are pedastrians but they rich move with their car always
