Thats the ONLY capital city I'v seen in Nigeria that plays second to less fiddle in the political helms of state affairs in Nigeria.

....No wonder the natives still find it VERY HARD producing just one governor in the history of Delta State. !!!

Are you aware that Asaba and Lokoja are not supposed to be state capitals of their respective states??

donphilopus: Are you aware that Asaba and Lokoja are not supposed to be state capitals of their respective states??

Why shuldnt Lokoja be?......The political & ethnic make-up there gives no room for bias. !

....But Despite Asaba been capital, It still finds it hard to pull the strings in Delta State.

Nnewi1stSon: What's your point

Emmanuel Uduaghan should develop the capital. It won't cost him as much as it cost to Godswill Akpabio to develop Uyo because Asaba is small in size when compared with Uyo and other capitals.

What is ur concern,is Asaba part of SW state. What is this fixation on SS&SE by u guys?

the warrior72: What is ur concern,is Asaba part of SW state. What is this fixation on SS&SE by u guys?

We aint fixated on that crap Boy!!

.....We are just get tge fun by taunting the place ..just like your ilks do by calling our cities slums.

This is the problem with Igbo people, you always frown at people that are not Igbo each time they show concern on anything involving Igbo yet you claim Lagos is no man's land.

Taunting a city, that beats all the slums in your region(Ibadan,Oshogbo,Akure,Abeokuta) hands down You sound like a pained clown

Tell ur self the fu-cking truth, u are dreaming Asaba as part of southwest

If not because of the crisis in Okene then, Lokoja wouldn't have been the capital city of Kogi state.

Size wise??
See lies!!! Asaba occupies a land of [size=13pt]300 km2[/size] and a population of [size=13pt]149, 603[/size](as at 2006 census). Source: [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asaba,_Nigeria]Wikipedia[/url]
Bauchi is even bigger than Asaba(talk-less of Borno capital, Maiduguri).
Bauchi(capital) city occupies land space of [size=13pt]3, 687 km2[/size], with population of 316, 173(as at 2004) while [size=13pt]493, 810[/size](as at 2006 census), source: Wikipedia

And with the proceeds they make from this gala, they've been buying up your region, Lagos is now Almost effectively under Igbo domination, it's only a matter of time be4 it becomes our colony , the Oba will be Impeached and Replaced with an OBI, you folks are just too damn lazy for my liking!
