These speed indicators were newly mounted along the Enugu - Port Harcourt highway to remind motorists on how fast they are going.......

But these are very unnecessary in my view, which road can you even speed for up to a kilometre without a major pothole?

Local methods of rice harvesting and transplanting to local rice mills in Ufuma , Anambra state.
This is the same method thousands of rice farmers process local rice in every state where rice is farmed.

Neat symmetry, stretching as far as the eyes can see. Ufuma, Orumba north, Anambra state.

More rice fields in Anambra state

Chef2000:
Nice pics, beautiful Ala-Igbo.

Thank you.

Almost every state in Igboland cultivate rice. Ebonyi seems to leading in rice production, followed by Enugu and then Abia, but Anambra has been surprisingly efficient in rice production. These rice fields are doing great in Ufuma.

I watched a documentary on Akpugoeze. They have loads of monkeys there.

These people have very good wood. A lot of timber comes from their lands.

Schools in Enugu Abor, Ufuma

And that's how we got into Ufuma in Anambra state.

Afam4eva:
I went to Abakaliki last week from Enugu and the road, despite being a one lane road was very good. The driver told me it was done by Dave Umahi but i found it hard to believe that.

That Enugu - Abakaliki Express road was a Federal project done by Obasanjo government. A very neat project just like the Onitsha- Owerri Express. But Dave Umahi has cut too many side roads into many communities along the express.

Edited;
I think the road was done by an international body. That road leads to Camroun directly.

InyinyaAgbaOku:
Can this be used as an alternative Enugu-Awka road? Or which part of anambra does it lead to ?

Yes it's an alternative route among many others. This cuts into Ufuma in Orumba north Local government of Anambra state.

This very bridge, is on the water body that serves as the boundary between these two sister states. It's a very long and winding river that runs through many communities which were one entity before. There's no language dialect difference between the communities on either sides of these rivers as the people have been sharing fishing trips, hunting, marriages and wrestling matches in peace since the days of Adam.

As you cross this bridge, you're in Ufuma, Anambra state.

But first, this is still Akpugoeze village, there is a strong Anglican presence here.....

Anyways this is our new enjoyment thread. Breakfast first. Brb

You can't even invite your friends here to eat with you?

Approaching the border of Enugu - Anambra state

Afam4eva:
Who built that toad that leads from Enugu to Abakaliki?

You mean this Sir? This was a Federal project, but the link to Abakaliki on the interchange was done by Sullivan Chime.

This road also continued even as I got to Inyi town, I can speed very well on these roads.....

Very long roads , this is delivering good infrastructure for rural communities, that's what we want in our states.

Details of this project in the board.....

I can even see so much materials left over by the contractors, plus some trucks around the site base. Enugu state is working slowly.

This shows that the governor is not totally Idle. Work is going on slowly.

This town is called Akpugoeze town, in Oji river local government of Enugu state. This road has been constructed by Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi government.

The ceaseless bustle of Ugwuaji road.......

Lower portions of Kenyatta road, towards the Timber sheds.

Ugwuaji road, leading to Loma Linda estates, Enugu.

Inner streets of Achara layout. Watch the conditions of the roads on the streets..

This section of the Express road is still okay. No potholes on the Abakaliki to Abakpa junction road. This shows that the road was constructed with some quality in mind.

ANAMMCO Enugu.

A new estate promoted by the Enugu state Housing development commission along Emene old road, Enugu.

I will ask and find out the cost of land here.

Unfortunately, some few pot holes are starting to show on these very beautiful roads, this should be repaired by the state government ASAP.
