Abeg rest Asaba is too small to be a capital .Edo state is not only benin city.

Where else in Edo state can be called a city? Ekpoma, Auchi, Okada, Ubiaja, Uromi or where?
In fact there is no where in Edo state that you can compare to Ughelli/Agbor/Sapele in Delta state aside Benin. I've lived in both states almost all my life.

Na God go punish those people wey rule Cross River after Donald Duke...faling to consolidate his hard works.
Haba, Before, how dare you put up Cross River in such comparison and mention it amongst the least but see as today everything dun yeye..
What am i even saying, if those guys had Ernestly continued in development from where Donald Duke stopped from that time frame till now.. Omoh Cross River in Nigeria will be in another league..

I have seen it with my two eyes.. Things dun japka.. We need revival..

Baba Duke abeg come serve us one more term before you pursue your Presidential ambition

Nonsense

senatordave1:

How could you have lived long enough in calabar when you said you were serving in the state? If you have gone to other places,you would have spotted some differences but you are holed up in calabar.moreover as a corper,its almost impossible to tour the whole state.finally,you claimed uyo is more developed than cali,how can? Apart from flyover,what else do they have? Do they have monorail,seaport,spar,clean streets,more banks,more tourist centres,free trade zone? Calabar is the 3rd city in the south south with the highest spread of development.almost all the entire calabar south and municipality is developed.but not everywhere in uyo is developed,only warri south lga is developed in warri,yenagoa is semi developed,asaba is coming up and is not even a local government of its own.only ph and benin beat cali in development spread.

How can you say only Warri south LGA is developed in Warri urban area? The entire Uvwie and Udu LGAs are urbanized and now Uvwie is developing into Ughelli south already.

It's like asking "between Ramsey Bolton and Geoffrey Lanister who is better"

Agbor is a big vilage and nothing in Ughelli. I repeat only Spaele try in the past. Ubiaja used to be it back in my parents days. Auchi now host about three big industries,the only thing Ekpoma lack was roads which is now getting done by Obaseki.You dont know Edo and stop trying to underrated it because of the past.

udeh3:


Bros nor Vess, ya mention one criteria to call a place a city or town, look at the following towns listed if they met it, you must also compare it with other states on that list, removing their two major cities if they have up to two other than the state capital. Then you can go ahead to do your own rating. I've a right to my opinion. Though my opinion is based on my travelling to virtually all the state's in that list

first of all if we think talk about the size and population these two places no fit enta city categories na. They are towns, you can compare Oleh with Sapele na...yet some people call sapele a town. If Oleh or Oghara no fit match sapele one day....na come warri. You can call Warri a city. Warri and Asaba...ehen. we go chop starch and owo soup come drink beta kaikai ontop....

justuschi50:
shup up, y don't u ask urself y they engage in it

na their state bad pass. If they funnelled all those abroad energy into developing their state, don't you think they will do better?

kimbraa:
Stop deceiving yourself. I've been to Akwa Ibom at least three time and the only reasonable thing about that State is beautiful roads. Why are your people everywhere in Rivers State if the State is what you're painting it?.

Bcus the place was a village until recently...It just started developing recently. Their people have existed longer than that na

Lubumbashi:
The truth is that delta state used to be the most developed state in the region until shell left the state and the economy collapsed with no good job which make all man begin to play merrybet to survive but delta is still better than edo, bayelsa and others. Only rivers state is better developed. Okowa is not doing anything, infact, the worst governor in history. If shell can come back, delta will rise again.

What exactly are you saying? What of all the allocations fron FG to the atate?

i dont even know.why I mentioned you cos your post makes no sense.Government is supposed to make an environment friendly enough for investment not the other way around.


Delta state is a complete failure. I am ashamed to call it my state

please remove Edo State from that list? Because there is nothing here in Edo State.

R5iver state is the most ....infact P.H is well developed...i think awka ibom calabar...also....edo try but full of old structures....

no where develop reach Lagos city baby

Akwa-ibom Ayaya!

Please to does who dont know, forget what you learnt in skul, the real capital of Delta is Warri, it is far more developed than Asaba.

Personally in terms of average spread development, I will rank
Delta(many developed places)
Akwaibom(same thing)
Rivers(Ph axis and bonny)
Edo(Benin n Auchi)
Cross river(I dont know outside calabar)
Bayelsa(I dont know anyone)

But in terms of a particular city
Rivers (Port Harcourt)
Akwa ibom(Uyo)
Cross River(Calabar)
Delta(Warri)
Edo(Benin)
Bayelsa(leme jus put yenagoa)

well personally o think Warri and Benin is a tie, and port Harcourt is good but overhyped, I also think Delta and Akwa ibom is a tie

if you talking about infrastructure,then it us rivers,akwa ibom,delta,Edo,cross rivers,beyelsa. if its in social economic activities it rivers, delta,Edo, akwa ibom,cross river, bayelsa.if its in state capital,pH,Benin,calabar,asaba,uyo,yenagoa,if its oil industry rivers, akwa ibom,delta,bayelsa,Edo,cross river. non oil industry Edo, delta,rivers, cross river akwa ibom,bayelsa. all this is my own opinion

Think akwa ibom is above rivers in oil industry, and am not sure asaba is finer than uyo.

The way people are talking of calabar, is it that bad?

The curse of crude oil

Are you sure Delta is a complete failure? Okowa will be reelected.
