Such a dull Guy..... More satellite views of Ibadan

Were was Ibadan when Enugu was chosen from Nigeria


Enugu made history, Wednesday, as the only Nigerian city among 35 cities from across the globe invited to join the 100 Resilient Cities Network (100RC) pioneered by The Rockefeller Foundation, New York.
The announcement was made during The Rockefeller Foundation’s Urban Resilience Summit in Singapore. The other three African cities that made the list alongside the Coal City of Enugu are Kigali (Rwanda), Accra (Ghana) and Arusha (Tanzania).
The choice of Enugu was predicated on the transformation of the road network in the city under Sullivan Chime. This was in addition to numerous national and international recognitions that have been bestowed on Enugu state. The organizers of the network said that Enugu was chosen from nearly 350 applicants on the basis of its ability to “demonstrate a unique vision for resilience, a long-term commitment to cutting across levels of government and sectors of society, a special attention to the needs of the poor and vulnerable.”
The Foundation stressed that Enugu like other Network cities will serve as a model for other global cities that seek to build their own resilience.
This second wave of cities will join 32 cities that won last year’s 100 Resilient Cities Challenge, forming a growing network of urban centers around the world that are ready to respond to the social, economic and physical shocks and stresses that are a growing part of the 21st century.
Other renowned cities of the world invited to join the list in the 2014 edition include Athens, Barcelona, London, Paris, Boston, Chicago, Amman, Sydney and Singapore.
100-Resilient Cites was created by an initial $100 million commitment by the Rockefeller Foundation as part of their Centennial last year, recognizing the trends of urbanization and globalization that characterize this century.

ENUGU AIRPORT IS DIRTY


[size=18pt]Travellers lament Enugu’s dirty environment[/size]

AUGUST 28, 2013 BY OZIOMA UBABUKOH, ENUGU

Travellers at the Enugu International Airport have lamented that Enugu State is too dirty and unbefitting to host an international airport.

Some residents of the city also criticised the state government over its inability to keep the city clean despite their persistent pleas.

They told The PUNCH in an interview on Tuesday that the state was getting dirtier by the day and that there was nothing in sight to show that the Governor Sullivan Chime-led administration was ready to remedy the situation.

An Ethiopian-bound traveller, Mrs. Yemisi Dantex, said, “While hovering on air, the impression that comes to one’s mind is a city of sanity, cleanliness and serenity, but as soon as you land, you become overwhelmed with the overgrown grasses surrounding the airport.

“As if that is not enough, as you drive from the airport through Emene enroute Abakpa, what you see are heaps of dustbins spreading through the streets; many insane people and destitute hover for the craps they could get from the bin.”

She said the officials of the Enugu State Waste Environmental Agency were not effective, saying, “Whenever they come to even clear the rubbish, they don’t clear it well; they rather spread it all over the place.”

She added, “In most cases, these ESWAMA officials allow the waste to drop from their trucks, thereby making the whole city dirty and smelling.”

Another traveller, Mr. Christian Diru, who had just returned from London, said that it was unfortunate that Enugu State was now looking as dirty as it was before 2009 when Nigeria hosted the Under-17 World Cup.

He said, “Enugu State was one of the states selected to host the FIFA Under-17 World Cup in 2009 and we knew what the government did then to ensure the state was clean and fit to host the world. But all that seems to be history, as Enugu State is now as dirty as Aba in Abia State.”

According to Diru, “Enugu State remained clean until September last year (2012) when the state government lost focus due to Chime’s absence and since then, they have found it difficult to get back their groove.”

Diru, who shuttles between London and Enugu, added, “If the state government does not start now to correct this, then it would have no legacy to leave for the people by 2015.”

A resident on the Presidential Road, Madam Hannah Anike, alleged that those who should be keeping the state clean were the same people making it dirty.

Anike, who is 81 years old, also claimed the state waste management company had no good trucks; “so the waste keeps dropping on the streets of Enugu and the whole place is getting too dirty.”

Officials from the Enugu State Government House refused to react to the matter, and referred our correspondent to the Commissioner of Environment, Dr. Nnaemeka Chukwu-Oneh.

Chukwu-Oneh, however, could not be reached on his mobile telephone.

Officials of the ESWAMA also prevented our correspondent from seeing the agency’s Managing Director, Mr. Dominic Okonkwo.

My God all of you are very childish, both Igbo and Yoruba. (I am Igbo by the way).
Let's appreciate what Enugu and Ibadan offers. This country is a third-world country,
and the governors of the thirty six states should bend down and transform the nation to
global standards. Why are you people spending time celebrating basic stuff like tarred roads
and average looking housing estates (Enugu), or good housing estates in the midst of dirty neighborhoods ( in respect to
Ibadan)

Stop being childish all of you. Grow up

The first picture, even though there are brown roofs, are well organised buildings. Second picture is Ugbo Paul, a village close to Abakpa where Phyno also shot his fada fada video. The place is not up to 3/4 of Ajah, Lagos. The last picture is Ogbete market, where zoro shot his ogene video. The market are not brown roofs but decked. However, they are very organised. No matter how you look at it, Enugu is very very beautiful and organized more than Ibadan. QED!




point of correction: Ogene was shot at Gariki park at Garki market Enugu.


I was born and raised in 042.I work in a nearby state.but after some weeks if I don't step into 042,I feel like I'm dying.

funny enough, I went to 042 two Sundays ago in d morning and returned to my base same day in the evening just cos of how I miss 042.
