I am from Uyo but grew up in Calabar. In my days, Uyo was a village while Calabar was an urban area. There was just no comparison between Uyo and Calabar. Even when I was at Uniuyo, people complained the place was dry and they could not wait to leave the area after graduation. One even said he will never step foot in Uyo after his graduation. Now, the roles have switched, Uyo is experiencing a renaissance, with nice tarred roads, modern buildings and influx of tourists and people from different parts of the country seeking to better their lives by tapping into greener pastures of the land. Who would have thought? This should serve as a reminder that no condition is permanent.

OVB123:
Thank you very much but I don't know why Calabar is living in past glory? the place can not be compared to Uyo now.

NkanAkpanika:

Prior to the Esuene's administration, the mode of trasportation from Uyo to Calabar was by sea via hovercraft or boat. Esuene came onboard and changed the landscape by building the Calabar Itu road/bridge, a welcome development in the state. It's very unfortunate and disappointing that in this day and age where the mode of transportation has been upgraded in other parts of the world, in Akwa Ibom and Cross River, it is only retrogressing, because now, travelers have gone back to plying the sea to reach their destination.

Gerrard59:



If I had seen this thread earlier, I'd have cautioned you travelling to Uyo via road. You probably should have taken a boat from Creek Town to Oron and use the road to Uyo. Due to the deplorable road situation, it's shorter. People have spent more than five hours on that Calabar - Uyo Road. Five years ago, the trip took not more than two hours and not more than an hour seven years ago (circa 30 - 45 mins).

Development is not a mystery , Nigerians make it look so. Everywhere can be developed, it just needs competent planning & execution and efficient tax system. without efficient tax system there would be lack of maintenance. dependence on allocation is unsustainable .
Another thing is to enact and enforce progressive laws. For example,ban child labor and street/roadside hawking,wrongful parking,overloading of vehicle,compulsory vehicle insurance, that will make the roads appear cleaner and orderly than they are now .
Calabar is larger and more naturally beautiful than Uyo&Akwa ibom. In my opinion,Calabar has greater potentials,more history & beautiful culture and is still better than Uyo because it's by the water, Hills, mountains around Akamkpa , and you can't beat waterfront cities . All Calabar needs is a good administrator and mega city expansion with bridges and 3 lane avenues linking various areas like Creek town ,Odukpani, Akpabuyo area. waterfront parks,beaches, and boardwalks.
Infrastructures like stadium ,malls,airline, highrise apartments , and resorts are private ventures. It's white elephant and won't last if built by Government.
Frankly, it's not a mystery to build good roads with sidewalks,traffic signs,drainage,trees,etc. , it's just unfortunate that the administrator is incompetent for now .

In my time, Calabar was a serene town with great leaders like the late Clement Isong and Esuene who built the Calabar Itu road/bridge that changed the mode of transportation in the place from plying the sea to traveling by road. We had the palm produce board, the biscuit factory, the famous Metropolitan hotel . . . infact, there was a solid middle class in the city. Civil servants lived a decent or somewhat comfortable life, the roads were nice and tarred, Uyo was just a village, I dont know if there was electricity at that time in Uyo when I was growing up in Calabar. How Calabar just degenerated into an abyss is shocking.

@Gerrard59 I served in Uyo many many years ago and I have always wanted to revisit. Activated by this thread I have just booked ticket to arrive calabar airport later this week. My plan is to explore calabar for two days and then move to Uyo for two or three days. I find your suggestion of travelling by ferry from creek town via Oron to Uyo very attractive. Can you help find out and give more detail especially direction on how to get to the ferry loading point and how safe the ferry ride is. Awaiting your reply. Cheers

When in Calabar, head to a place called Marina and board a boat or ferry to Oron. Ignorant me thought it was Creek Town.

Well, I've not been to Calabar in more than two years.
