Benevento:

Ibadan and Port Harcourt too has 1 or 2 of these.

I hear Uyo too just Developed a 21 story building.

Unibenfucker:

I do not think we would have a fair assessment comparing Benin and Asaba. It is not an apple for apple. Asaba is relatively a new state capital and we should expect to see new city planning and structures which wouldn’t be in Benin. Benin is in the league of Ibadan, Enugu, and Kaduna. These are the regional capitals of Nigeria in the 60s.

Lostz:


it seems you are a kid. so you don't know that each region was being developed by their own wealth until Ironsi foolishly centralized everything?

Benin was capital when we were in charge of our resources instead of depending on FG.


Following Nigeria's independence from British rule in 1960, Benin City became the capital of
Mid-Western Region when the region was split from Western Region in June 1963; it remained the capital of the region when the region was renamed Bendel State in 1976, and became the state capital of Ẹdo State when Bendel was split into Delta and Edo states in 1991.

Benin should be competing with Lagos and Abuja in Nigeria but instead they are do worst than newly created cities

Igwe35:
OP must be a Benin man, cos from the look of things,he took time to take really good pictures of Benin, and rolled out 'anyhow' pictures of Asaba.

In my personal opinion, Asaba is way more beautiful than Benin.

donbachi:
How many foreign investors dis fine structures don attract?make una stop all dis comparism things..every state get their own uniqueness.

Chinomonkey:

Keep quite kid...Ibadan only has brown roofs and erosion like this

Binikingdowm:
Aren't you ashamed of comparing the richest state capital with Benin city?

Delta state receives 5x what Edo state received monthly, don't forget these oil companies and grants given to Delta state.

Nnpc and nddc infrastructures too in Delta state

Binikingdowm:
please shut the Bleep up. You said Benin city should be competing with Lagos and Abuja forgetting they were the capital of the entire country..

It's delta state that supposed to compete with Lagos because they've port, huge oil and everything they need to succeed

Xfemt:
I've not been to asaba but I can tell u
Benin na village
d beauty of Benin is it road ln side d middle of the town

All these small boys wey no dey travel

goaldynboy:


But Benin City has been the capital of Bendel State since 1970 when it was created by Gowon! But Asaba just became capital in the 1990s when Delta State was created by Babangida!

So Benin City is supposed to be more developed than Asaba!!!!

tonididdy:
I'm a Benin man but trust me benin has lost its beauty gradually.
when oshiomole restored it's beauty in 08/09 then this comparison would gain weight as some of these photos are not recent.

also I hate it when people show their state beauty and be posting shop rite and restaurants... that's so wrong.

show us developments, roads, lights, night lights and night life, culture.

agulion:
I wonder how somebody will be under brown rusted roof and be doing analysis, local Yorub.a Muslims na wow

Lostz:


there is no way someone in his right sense will compare Delta to Edo. Delta is now ahead of the decaying Edo in everything.


apart from Benin, during the dry season..... because almost everyone own swimming pool during the rainy season...... where else in Edo is livable?

even the Benin pictures posted here are old pictures because I was in Benin recently and things are no longer as they look here

Goke7:

You are right I was in Benin late 2018 and it was an eye sore. I wonder what they say obaseki has been doing. Even the GRA is a disappointment.

I grew up in Benin in the 80s and 90s and I am shocked that most buildings I knew way back then I could easily recognized them because no improvement. No wonder oshiomole is like a god there cos the other governors including the current one are successful failures. Too bad for a city that moulded me.

Binikingdowm:
the fact is Delta shouldn't be compared to Edo state because it's one of the highest allocation receiving state in Nigeria.

Akwa ibom have the best roads and they now have their own airline.

River state has international airport and great infrastructures.

Delta state is still far behind despite receiving more allocations than those states
