The Demarketing of Abia started in 2014

When a political party (APGA) felt that PDP has had enough in ABIA, and has not really done upto the expectations of the masses, (which was actually true)

So the went ahead using all medium of propaganda to kick the PDP out, including taking shots from different angles of port Harcourt road, Ngwa roads and other federal and state roads not in good shape and littering the whole internet space with it, up till now the pictures are being recycled by various people with imported pictures of bad roads from other Nigeria cities added to it, and the cycle keeps going.

And as we already know the average Abians are not really interested in social media, poltics and so, all the do it's business and nothing but business...

But through be told

The state is not really bad

As the internet paints it

A visit will equally convince anyone
As Aba has more bad roads on internet than in real life

Festival:
Different festival happens in Aba
And just like every other part of Igboland new yam festival is also being celebrated
But since colonial times every 25th
Of December
The etche and opobo people with other Rivers State communites
Having a large population (around pepples road Rivers layout waterside Aba)
Often celebrate a ground shaking festival called " Nwaotamu" where the all March from rivers layout to other part of Aba and at the end of the day settle in a particular field,
Which was letter called Etche field
And the adjoining road know as Etche road
Hence a mini like stadium has been constructed to aid the event.
Another popular festival in ndegoro Maintown

Just out the outskirt of Ndegoro city ABA Abia state
Is etche Field.

Below is etche road and Etche field Aba
Showing ungoing construction of a shopping mall and a mini stadium (to help the annual event of the Rivers State communites in Aba)

The state is blessed, but the bad leaders there are something else. And I Aba is Ngwa not Ukwa, ukwa is very different from Ngwa, don't join the two groups together again. Ukwa has more oil than pH but Ukwa has nothing, no road, no water, no health care facilities, no good school, nothing to show as an oil producing area. The Nddc building there is just like a private house, the fmr Senate President is from there ( though he's useless ). The politicians from there are all useless and greedy, they have been in gov't from 1900s till now, nothing to show except to come there with big SUVs and excorts. Tell your governor to do something for them... Nddc is there only saviour, no federal or state projects there. And the governor always visits his friends there, including some ministers and other state governors, they have friends from there but they ain't telling there friends to do something about their area. THEY HAVE NONSENSE INFLUENCIAL MEN

yea... All those projects seff... What I'm saying is the joining together of Ukwa and Ngwa is just for politics and for the Ngwa to eat were they didn't sow.... Ngwa keeps many of the positions coming to Ukwa claiming they're the same people. We know what happened in Nddc stuff which they wanted to be the Commissioner representing the state, but thank God for their brother Abaribe that disagreed on that... Long story short, they are not the same..

We are talking about the city of Aba here
But you are only interested in the pictures..

That's your business and headache anyway
If they are lame, then post yours metcheew

Anyway

Ahia Good morning market:
During the first miltary leadership of president buharia
He was scheduled to visit the enyimba stadium near Ahia ohuru market in Aba, so the then
adminstration incharge of Aba, decided to relocate traders around enyimba stadium,
And the only space available was the boundary town between Ndegoro main town and the Emelogu town in Ogbor hill (been separated by the ABA River),
Which was a thick Forest and swamp area, the traders registered against the plan, due to distance, and topography of the area as of then.
The market was then called
" Buharia market," cos the relocation idea was convinced in other to welcome the miltary head of state (buharia)
And also the word "buharia" in Igbo means to relocate, or change.
As of then the market was just a shadow of itself,cos of low patronage, so miltary actions where taking against the traders around enyimba stadium axis (which was an encroachment of Ahia ohuru) and the name " Ahia Good morning " sharply replaced the former buharia market
Due to the busy nature of the market during morning hours (when the police and military men are always on ground daily chasing people out in enyimba stadium axis), once the soliders are out (during noon) the traders will sharply transport all there goods, back to there normal shop and locations around the roads surrounding enyimba stadium, hence the market then was regarded as a morning market cos you won't see anyone there once the morning season is over,
This continued even when the force men where no longer coming,
During the leadership of doctor Orji uzo kalu in Aba, the market receive it first boom as the "Orji uzo bridge" was constructed to join the outskirts of Ndegoro to ogbor Hill (as the waterside bridge connecting Aba to ogbor Hill suffers heavy gridlock), and that was how the forest, swamp area was easily converted to a normal daily market (no longer only morning market), as people from the other part of Ogbor hill (Emelogu town) can easily come and buy.
The hausas are the dominate group there due to the fact that during the years where the market was rejected by the traders around enyimba Axis, the hausa communites relocate without going back to there previous shops in enyimba stadium, and expanded massively before the major boom of the market (as shops where relatively cheap around there then).
In 2015 the Aba York (hundreds of thousands of youth whose brain has been damaged by hard drugs living around the Aba York (Area with a lot of abandoned houses) where the recurit more young fellows into stealing, robbery and pick pocketing) was then relocated to another area near ahia good morning and the Aba British York converted to present day "ochendo Park" hence the then governor built more shops in Ahia Good morning and tried renaming the market to "Ochendo modern market" which was largely rejected by the market traders.
Till date the hausa population keeps expanding
And the swamp area keep turning into large market

The only problem with Aba us the Federal roads. The state roads are in pretty good shape in terms of Nigeria standard.

We move.

Nigercity:
Religion:

The indigenous people of ngwa and ukwa are mostly Christians, but due to urban migration
Aba is
Now made up of 70% of Christians, 12% of Jews , 10 of Muslims and 6% of traditionalist and 2% of people who are irreligious
Population
During the last Nigerian population census 2006
The majority of people living in Aba who are unofficially political apartheid refused to be count. As the activities of MASSOB (a pro Biafra group) was high in the city
Hence only the few enlighten elites most living around Aba south L G.A where counted.
Reason while some cities where officially recorded to be more populated than Aba while in the actual sense Aba is very more populated than most African cities
(A visit will end up convincing you)..
In 2016 demographics and Wikipedia ranked Aba population to be over 2,534,265

Ethnicity
The ukwaNgwa people are of the Igbos tribe,
Aba being one of the largest urban centers in Nigeria, has seen different people residing in it making the tribal population to be
65% Igbos (found in all part of Aba) 10% of hausa/Fulani (found in mostly ndegoro,Ariaria nd uratta town)
7% Efik/ibibio (which runs more than 46% of Nigerian eatery outlets (restaurant) in the city) , 5% yoruba (mostly found in Azikwe Asa)
4% of other Nigerian tribes,
5% of foreigners From other African countries
Nd 3% of non African foreigners..

According to the Abia state branch of national population commission (NPC) Aba Town Hall office.
All Nigeria states are fully represented in Abia
With migrant from imo,
Anambra, Ebonyi, akwa ibom and Rivers taking the lead in descending magnitude
While the Nigerian state of kogi, Edo, kwara and Adamawa has the lowest number of there indigenes residing in Aba.
While Cameron, Burkina Faso and Ghana top the list of other Africans living in Aba with Cameron topping with a large margin, due to the closeness of southern Cameron and Aba (making them migrating to oron and Calabar where the will later find there way to Aba). Morroco and Liberia are the only African countries without an individual officially residing in Aba (but a hand full of Liberians always visit Aba regularly for business tips, especially for shoe and lather work exportation)

While Britain and China topping the list of non-african foreigners in Aba
Owing to the fact that the run many big scale industries in the state.

While Kuwait, Iran,Iraq, Vatican City, and Argentina are the only non-african countries without official indigene living in Aba

Stop writing nonsense. How on Earth is one in every ten people in Aba a Muslim?

If there is one Mosque of 1000 congregants then you will see equivalent of 200 Churches of same number of congregants.

How is this 10%?

The real number is 0.001%

You might be right
But I don't think you know more than those people working in ( NPC) ABA town hall
You can equally visit there and query them,
Am not really from there, but the also gave there statics that Muslim make's up 43% of those migrating to the city in recent times.

I am an authority in Southeast somehow. You can't compare migration to indigenous birthrate.

In any 10 Muslim Migrants there are 10,000 new born by indigenous people.

Remember, Aba people are the least to migrate to other place in Southeast. They are always home.

People should be wise enough to know that every city in Nigeria has slums and bad roads, including Lagos. So, no idiot should come here and start posting rubbish pictures.

Concentrate on other things like pictures and videos or investments and leave the statistics aspect. You're not correct on the statistics you're stating so just forget it. I know Aba very well and Muslims in that city can't be anywhere close to 3%, even the Jewish adherents can't be more than 2%. Aba has just two mosques and maybe same with Jewish synagogue but has thousands of churches.

No problem
Although the stat where are made available by the state government through NPC Aba Town Hall (you can go and check its available for public viewing), but what do I know
I don't reside here
So maybe you guys know more better than me

Also thanks for appreciating my thread
Also help me with more pictures if you have

You tried by giving real information about Aba the city of my birth. Aba would have gone far with good governance because it has everything it takes to be GREat

The most annoying thing remains the loudmouths who navigate to nairaland to spew crap about what they know nothing about the subject. The OML 11, which consisted entire Ogoni, Opu obu (Opobo), Ndi Ndoni (Andoni), Ikwerre land Obigbo and Owaza, produces the most onshore crude oil in Nigeria. Owaza in Ukwa West LGA produces more than three-quarters of total production of this area. Owaza oil fields started production of crude oil few years after Oloibiri. Today, Oloibiri is dead and dry. I guess the Nigeria\Biafra war remains the drawback. Ndigbo do not want to force their hands on crude oil production and its dividends because it could lead to another civil war. However such weak indulgence has left the Igbo land deprived of what is due to them. I say it is the high time Ndigbo demanded what is due to them and if another war comes out of such endeavor so be it.

Thank you Mr. Poster for this. People always insult ABA forgetting that every city has a slum.

Come to Abuja here the capital city, we have a lot of slum here like Mpape, Gishiri, Dutse, Apo village etc with deadly bad roads and horrible structures/ creatures.


ABA AMAKA

Nah eh! No qualms
This is so sophisticated

Some people will be surprised at these pictures of Aba. I know they have always assumed that Aba was all slum but what they don't know is that aba is more like onitsha.
When we tell them to travel and see the won't listen.
Well done op.

Nigerian politicians are generally greedy, self-centred and useless, but the ones from Abia are in a class of their own. Only a few good ones like Abaribe stand out.
