Benin city has never really witnessed much development by past successive government especially the military. They did very few things to develop the city because they didn't care about it. They were not from the place. Benin is very ancient and far bigger than Asaba, but when both cities started afresh in 1999, Lucky Igbenedion took Benin city to the Era of our ancestors. So while Asaba was developing very fast, Benin was going backward. Its from the Oshiomole Era that Benin started trying to catch up with lost time by then Asaba has received a whole face lift.


The oil money that Delta state receives, blood of Jesus, if Edo receives half of that money, I swear to God, you won't recognize Benin again.

Na when Ibori mama die, that was when j knew that Delta state has money. In less than 6 months, Ibori used Niger cat to transform small Ogharefe.

See abeg, Delta state too get money.
Compare Benin to Oshogbo or let's say Ibadan. Ehen...not Asaba abeg

Some of those pic are not of recent of Asaba. Some are not even Asaba but old pic of warri. OP u just collected random pic from Google....

Chai before commenting properly I know say them go yab benin for this thread

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

you mean Edo that have the capital since 1960 should not be compared to a state that was created recently?

the only state you can compare Edo to in southern Nigeria are osun, Ebonyi, Ekiti and bayelsa

there is no state as balanced as Delta in the whole Southsouth. Delta State has many livable towns.

there are livable places in all the zones that are being developed. we also have two state owned airport.

you can't compare Delta State with States that have only one or two places where humans can survive.



Delta is a new state. the good work of Ibori means we were able to move ahead of many states in short period of time.

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

Biafra is a Pipe dream.

Akinola100:
Benin and Asaba get stadiums now. Why super Eagles no dey use am play international games apart from Goodwill Akpabio in Akwa Ibom

U don see benin stadium before? The red around it make am be like world trade shrine centre

Asaba for sure na

Give it to Obaseki

spirul77:
Asaba is far more beautiful than Benin, if not for oshiomhole benin would have been an eyesore.

very true. Oshiomole is the only reason Benin is even a city in the local context.

ABBEYsammy01:
Give it to Obaseki

98% of what you see in those pictures are the handiwork of Oshiomole!!!

so abia, Oyo, imo, ondo and cross river are better than Edo state? Lmao.

The thing is midwest then wasn't receiving huge allocation, if been capital was the key to developement then ibadan state should be the most developed state in southern nigeria but now owerri, enugu, and almost all south south cities are finner than ibadan.

The 4 richest state in Nigeria aside Lagos are
Delta
Akwa ibom
River state
Bayelsa

They all receive six times of of what other states receives, they should at least be six times more developed.

Don't forget nddc have more works in Delta compare to Edo state because Delta contribute more to their pulse.

Comparing Edo and Delta state shows how backward Delta state really is

Both of them are very dirty.

i swear to God, Edo state just need half of what Delta receives and you won't know Edo state again.

Delta, river, akwa ibom and bayelsa are so rich.. there's even one local government in river state that has 24 hours lights and good road just because of oil.

to be fair third and upper side aren't really Benin...

The main Benin is oredo local government but due to developement, it now contains ikpoba okha, Egor etc

Binikingdowm:
You can't compare benin city to asaba, even if you add warri asaba and ugheli together, Benin city is still far bigger than them.

Don't forget Delta receives 5x what Edo state get.

Let's compare oredo with asaba, they have the same size

This is not true. I even think Warri Is quite better than Benin. Too many old houses in Benin city its not a good look

nelsonebby:

This is not true. I even think Warri Is quite better than Benin.

read my post, I meant bigger.

Benin city is bugger than asaba and warri combined

All this fine image was when Osho was still in government. Not now please go and re-snap and come back to ask

my point exactly.

Main Benin is oredo but due to developement, it's now eating different part of Edo south.

In 20 years time you'll be surprised seeing the whole of Edo south is now refer to as Benin

Chekwume16:
Is there anything in asaba to compare with Benin. I am from delta but asaba is just a glorified capital.

and Benin? I am sure you haven't toured Benin, if you have, you won't type this

we dey talk about fine and more infrastructure not size

johnmattew:
most cities in South south and south east are trash and overrated...except Owerri,Calabar and maybe Uyo..

as a Nigerian deltan,who served in Ibadan,IB is far ahead of most cities in South south and south east,just that Ibadan people are too archaic..the city is far more developed than its residents


same way Lagos is overrated when compared Capitals of Gabon,Tanzania,Angola, equatorial guinea,ivory coast,Cape Verde etc

Ibadan?!!! Ehhhhnnnn?!!! Which weed you smoke bro e strong o? Ibadan that is brown roof republic of Nigeria
