In Enugu, There Was A City. by CowHard: 7:22am On Nov 23, 2018
It was a Monday morning in the metropolitan city of Enugu state.
I was rushing back to my base after seeing out an encounter with a business partner.
While trekking to the motor park, foul stench oozed out of the numerous mountainous refuse dumps located virtually at every strategic places in the city.

As I maneuvered my way pass the waterlogged and slippery road, behold was a site of a man comfortably emptying the bowl inside the gutter.
In a moment of shock, I gazed at him unconsciously and the man roared "Oga na wetin, you wan chop shit"?

I hurriedly crossed over to the other lane before he deface me with an early morning feces.
Arriving at the Gariki motor park, I was at the mercy of touts who brushed, kicked and bundled me into the vehicle in a commando style.
Initially, I thought I had fallen into the hands of kidnappers because I was left with bruised wrists and lips.
Panting and sweating inside the vehicle, I decided to remove my jacket only to discover that my wallet, phones and wristwatch have all gone.

I immediately became anxious to leave the city before more terrible fate befall me so I began shouting at the driver to hasten up so we can start the journey.
The driver later mounted the steering, but not after he unzipped his trouser and urinated under the public glare.
I started asking asking myself if this is still the Enugu state I know.
The Enugu that I know has no history of touts and other unwholesome public demeanor.
Who took the flares and sparks associated with the ancient city of Enugu?

Before the coming of this incumbent government, Enugu was an epitome of serenity and cleanliness.
Back then, the moment you enter Enugu, you will be forced to be a gentleman courtesy of the nature of the environment.

Traffic lights manned the city traffic. No commuter dared go against the traffic light nor drive against traffic.
Enugu had both mechanized and manual road sweepers.
Dirt's were evacuated promptly. There were no sorry sites of refuse dumps in the entire city.
Travellers were strongly advised not to drop trash from the vehicle as drivers were mandated to have a trash can in the vehicle.

The beautiful structures the previous governments put in place have all become dilapidated. Mentally challenged men now dangerously roam the streets of Enugu.
Oh!! Enugu where is thy glory!!
The city now lies in ruins. The hitherto heartbeat of the Eastern region now lives on past glory.

How did we end up here?? The city has been defaced with billboards and indiscriminate pasting of posters. Even Aba under the leadership of Theodore Orji is now better than Enugu state in waste management and infrastructure.

Enugu is dying slowly while everyone looks elsewhere.
Who will save the moribund economy of the state?
Who will paddle the state to safety?
Who will chase flies coming from refuse dumps away from our foods?

Who will restore the sanity and discipline that has been the trademark of the state ab initio?
I have the conviction that ENUGU SHALL BE GREAT AGAIN!!.

Lol.. you have stated the fact, don't waste your time, we all knew this, don't mind the propaganda and hyping being forced down on people by spyder, ckenneth and his numerous accounts.
He is already here with his propaganda pictures of govt house surroundings which constitute less than 1% of the entire town, but he dare not show you the other 99.999% of the town. He keeps fooling only but himself. Lol

The problem with Enugu state is non existent of vibrant political opposition, so all the mess and backwardness in the state is hidden from public view. Please do well and expose your state and free it from the shackles of underdevelopment and backwardness.
