Biafra rep: I must confess that Owerri is breath-taking atleast by naija standard nice job op but you did not cover new owerri area, my God the last time I passed there on my way back from Abuja I could not believe my eyes at what I saw, I nearly told the driver to stop so I could take pictures( I was in a commercial shuttle bus) from concord boulevard to Ojukwu centre, new government house, the well paved streets and mowed grasses and trees even down to beautiful houses in the area, that trip really opened my eyes and made me to discard my earlier impression that the only good place(s) in Nigeria is Abuja and Lagos!

^^ guy ur right most of the places he took his pics from are either average or below average looking places. As a well traveled guy owerri to me remains one of the most beautiful and serene cities in Nigeria. just as you pointed out on the bolded the well paved streets and mowed grasses and trees even down to beautiful houses in the area is just a beauty to behold.

ebucha: Haha. This fellow really got me laughing. By misleading people with the above pictures of owerri will only give u bad name when someone here eventually visit the heart of owerri like Douglas, MCC, Tetlow, World Bank, Akwakuma, Amakohia etc

Are kidding me? Every city in the whole wide world has its downtown area. Douglas and those other places you mentioned are better than Diobu(PH), Nyanya(Abuja), Ebuta Metta(Lagos). The op only showed pictures of the areas he passed through! He did not even show highbrow areas like new Owerri.
