City keh?

What's the point of comparing two villages? The mentality of the dwellers there is appalling enough.

These are what cities look like below

AlPeter:
historically asaba was just a local government on the Benin Kingdom. So if Benin is Yoruba so is Asaba

Which of your oral history book told you that?

Everything is totally different historically between the two.

So look for another reason.

Benevento:

shutup only Lagos and Abuja has highrise buildings (skyscrapers)

and to some extent, Ibadan and port Harcourt.

Sorry where hire rise dey for Ibadan?

IkpuNnegiEwu44:


They are deceived by the City in Benin City. Not minding that city was put there in the olden days. Benin is retrogressing, the leagues of Ibadan, Enugu, Portharcourt, Owerri have left Benin behind. The Village is obviously cursed by their fetishism. No one progresses by involving in such level of jujuism

Festism kill you there ewu is there any place in the east to compare benin

IkpuNnegiEwu44:


See who dey talk erosion. Benin na erosion enclave, go see agbor road by Ogbeson quarters, check Ekehuan road erosion near open university, abi na Ugbowo where flood dey swallow motor, uwelu nko?

Anyway rain fall for Benin, every house na swimming pool.

Mumu... You know everywere for benin and average benin person know any area for east
Una state too ugly to stay... Always piercing from one state to the other and abandoning your state ....
Osu.... People

Benis is the 6th populated city in nigeria no eastedestate came close

As half Edo and half deltan, who has lived in both states all my life I can speak for the fact that Delta state is living on Oil money. Forget about it, the jobs are not really there, if not for the tank farms that sprang up on Oghareki, half of the bike men back then in Benin city are Urhobos. Infact, till today, you have more urhobos here in Benin than elsewhere in the country aside their state. Someone was talking about IGR, aside Oil linked IGR, what else brings money into Delta state. Delta state is a monoeconony. Politics is the highest employer of labor there. Even PA to commissioner get him own PA.

Everybody in Delta state doing politics are all Ibori political family. I still tell you that compare to what Delta has, she no suppose they compare herself with Edo. Do you know how many roads NDDC do yearly in delta state, compare it to Edo.

Asaba fine pass Benin no doubt, but the money in Asaba na Government money dy flow. The money in Benin no be government money. Na sweat and hustle. That's why forget the shoprite and others, the money when people dy spend for Benin, individually, u no fit compare with Benin city.

seniorkachion:


Saying Delta gets 5x what Edo gets is deceptive. Benin City has been a capital continuously since 1963. During that time Asaba was not even the second City. It was rated behind Warri and Sapele. Asaba only became a state capital in 1991 and was not treated as a state capital until Uduaghan became governor.

Who were the governors? Mostly Military. The only time Benin saw development was under Ambrose Alli and Samuel Ogbemudia. One was Civilian and the other was a military governor. Both from the state. We are talking about from 1999 and for the first 8 years, Our political leaders took us backwards, that's why Asaba overtook us. Also, it's difficult renovating new house than building a new one. Asaba is new.



Can you compare the structures in Budapest to the structures in Dubai?

thesicilian:
Whoever took these photos has done a fantastic job. He deserves an award.

thank you JAARRE, please where is the award?

Officialgarri:

And when did Asaba and Benin turn Easterners?

Op, can you classify the images into the one which belongs to Asaba and the one ones for Benin, so I can help you push it to FP

but it is classified now.

genesishouse:
Yet he left out all the shrines and wonderful images of spiritual airports

that's because they are not beautiful, we are talking about beauty here.

Nigeriabiafra80:
Abeg asaba is a local government
But can you help us champion biafra agitation

wetin concern me

Emax911:

this is Ogbemudia stadium Benin City.

Prazo1:
in Abuja, Edo and lagos has one of the best states house in asokoro.......then ty danjuma and some northern state......
i would love to see comparism sha.

note: not talking about how big ooooo,
the deco and cultural presence you would see from the gate alone.

you can lie for Africa, Edo house Asokoro that Lucky Igbinedion abandoned, Oshiomhole came and still abandoned it, it is even now Obaseki is trying to work on it, he has removed the roofing since 3 years now yet the building refused to be completed.

ifiokjohn:
But na Igbo full Asaba na and na Dem get Asaba. see the name self, e resemble Igbo kindoff name

Any kingdom found using ada & eben the people of that kingdom are ancestrally from benin kingdom...

Bigsunny01:







Any kingdom found using ada & eben the people of that kingdom are ancestrally from benin kingdom...

So you mean the people of Asaba that is even closer to Onitsha are benins?
Bros, abeg pass me the weed

TheMohican:


Enugu and Kano have a few as well TBH

Enugu & Kano do not have high rise building(s). The person u responded to is right.

AlPeter:
historically asaba was just a local government on the Benin Kingdom. So if Benin is Yoruba so is Asaba

Shut rup... which benin is yoruba empire? instead it is the other way round.

OVB123:
Enugu & Kano do not have high rise building(s). The person u responded to is right.

I've being to Kano, There are high-rise building there

TheMohican:


I've being to Kano, There are high-rise building there

4get about what u saw there, the only states\cities that have high rise building(s) are lagos, abuja and to some extent port-harcourt. the other states are just storey building.

Understanding seems to be a problem here

AlPeter:

Pls, if u don't know what to say go and sleep.

Sammy07:


Hmm, you're right tho, Delta has overtaken Benin.

Benin should be in the league of Enugu, Ibadan and Kano.

As they are all regional capitals.
But unfortunately, they don't improve at all.

Both, Benin, Kano, Enugu and Ibadan don't have oil.

And they're all bigger than Benin.
So, Benin ought to develop faster than the rest of them.

Benin is only second to ibadan in size, you can check it up

Cantonese:


See I think OP made a very unrealistic and needless comparison between Asaba and Benin. As you mentioned, I agree with you that OP must be a Benin man.

Let's ask first when the two cities became state capitals and which one deserves to be better developed. Benin was the state capital of the midwest and old Bendel state which covered Asaba as a village until Edo was created out of Bendel state and Asaba made the state capital of the newly formed Delta state, not more than 30 years ago.

Benin is a very historic city and it was not surprising that it became a state capital immediately at independence just like Lagos state. For me if OP needs to make a comparison it should be between Benin as capital of Edo state and Ikeja, the capital of Lagos state. Of course Ikeja is more developed than Benin.

Asaba is a growing state capital. If not for the wickedness of the past governors since the days of Kefas, Asaba should have been much more developed than it is. The same goes for the foolish underdevelopment of Benin by past military governments and politicians.

It is however refreshing to note that OP compares two cities and states with very rich culture and great traditional values.

Benin has a huge influence, as I call it, on the traditional institutions of a lot of towns in Edo and Delta states.

you be better ozour how you go dae compare Benin with ikeja, ikeja wey uselu big pass.lagos state is about three thousand kilometre2 and over 40 percent is water. Benin City is just about the size of the inhabitable part of Lagos State.

They are deceived by the City in Benin City. Not minding that city was put there in the olden days. Benin is retrogressing, the leagues of Ibadan, Enugu, Portharcourt, Owerri have left Benin behind. The Village is obviously cursed by their fetishism. No one progresses by involving in such level of jujuism

you go dae compare owerri, onitsha and aba with uwelu, uselu and Eyean. all those una 50 to hundred kilometers square city so

gregyboy:




Festism kill you there ewu is there any place in the east to compare benin

You must be Joking I guess.

Alright.

There is nothing like half Edo half deltan. Such only exist in an insecure mind.

Paternity decides the origin of the child and wherever you father comes from that's who you are. No half there.

Benin is an arm of Oduduwa.

Nothing dey Bini to compare.

Bini dey two or is it not the Bini we know?

Sammy07:
Judging with this pics.
Asaba is more beautiful

You should be comparing Asaba with Calabar

Benin with Yenegoua

Akwaibom with port Harcourt.

That's a fair comparison I think.

Bini should be doing the comparison with sister yoruba states like info, ado Ekiti

But all the time their eye is always directed towards Niger river.?
