Just imagine if we continued the tradition of planting trees around homes, public building and along the road.
Nigeria will by now be Obodo Oyibo!
My fear is that one day an idiotic baboon will become the governor of Enugu and ask that those trees be cut down. I dread that day.

Asaba is growing rapidly. My brother and I bought 2 plots of land there last year December close to the airport. We plan to build flats there. Spyder880 I will let you know once we are ready to develop the plot.

Also Asaba plots are generally bigger in measurements. They measure 100 by 100 while other plots measure 100 by 50.
How Igbocentric is Asaba? Does one hear Igbo being spoken like one would in Enugu or Awka?

I ask because being the capital of Delta state there will be influx of people from all over Delta state incuding Urhobos/Isokos, Ijaws, Itsekiris etc. So, it might have a more cosmopolitan feel than a typical Igbo town.

They are there too and they prefer it because of the relative peace unlike warri but make no mistake Asaba is Igbo to the core.

There are many ibibios and efik people living in Aba but that doesn't make Aba any less Igbo.

@ogbuefi2020, It is only Lagos, Abuja, Rivers, Anambra and Kano, that has this sort of sophisticated cloverleaf flyover interchange in the whole of Nigeria. What could be found anywhere else outside these frontline states are just culverts, overpass and their likes. If you have something remotely like this then show us here. Thank you cool
where is this?
Re: . by AnambraDota: 5:50pm On Sep 12, 2018
Asaba though an Igbo city but not Igbocentric. The Asagba of Asaba is pro Igbo but the youth of Asaba that are suppose to be breathing life into Asaba Igbo heritage are not interested, Igbo is not commonly spoken by the indigenes, even their old women love pidgin and their youths dont like communicating in Igbo.

Asaba is not an Igbocentric, the consciousness is not there.

What you just stated here is exactly why i asked the question. I've never lived in Asaba but i come across people from that axis a lot and even those who lived kost of their lives tend to be more Pro pidgin english than Igbo.

That day may never come. Ever.
Almost all the trees were planted by private property owners and government has no control over such privacy.

Most certainly. Igbo is the only local lingo in Asaba. Even up to Agbor.

Most of our government policy favor green. The government house in Enugu is in a big forest in the centre of the city and surrounded by tall trees.

I will get more Enugu pictures this evening.

Continue lying. Asaba natives speak mostly pidgin and english to differentiate themselves from southeast Igbos who are the ones that speak Igbo there. Asaba natives speak their Igbo dialect only when they meet their own kin and usually indoors.

I don't know how an ordinary overpass is the same thing as flyover. These are examples of a flyover. The state does not have a single flyover, what it has is an overpass bridge. Anyone that is ready should come and face me with the argument. Thank you
Does mgbidi jericho in Awka look like this since it is the only flyover in the milky way
