Calabar is more beautiful - it's neater, planned, organised and the
inhabitants are hospitable and level headed. Lagos is the opposite.
I would prefer to settle in Calabar anyday.

Though, Lagos has got much more business and money.

I'm on my way to Calabar.

This qualifies for homepage.

What's the price

Abuja and Calabar

I like these:

1) I do not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments, but rather as an affirmation of American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations.

2) To be honest, I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who've been honored by this prize,

3) And I know that throughout history, the Nobel Peace Prize has not just been used to honor specific achievement; it's also been used as a means to give momentum to a set of causes. And that is why I will accept this award as a call to action

The airport will be viable considering the city's proximity to Onitsha

Useless fools!
Hunger strike my foot.
Assuming the oil wells were illegally ceded to Akwa Ibom (which is not the case, from what I gather), so these pot-bellied clowns would have preferred Camorroun take them than their felow brothers in Akwa Ibom. Shame on them all!

I think this is simple logic. Read that again Bakassi was not ceded to Akwa Ibom State but to Cameroon. Oil wells belonging to Cross River before ceding Bakassi can only be claimed by Cameroon or remain in Cross Rivers because this is the only area where territory changed hands.

Hadith 11

On the authority of Abu Muhammad al-Hasan bin Ali bin Abi Taib, the grandson of the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ëalayhi wasallam, and who is dearest to him, radiyallahu ëanhuma, who said: ìI committed to memory from the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ëalayhi wasallam, (the following words):

Leave that about which you are in doubt for that about which you are in no doubt.

I'm not a muslim but I think I like this advise.

Haksalam:
I THINK LAGOS WILL MEET D BEAUTY STANDARD OF ABUJA WIT D CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.[color=#000099][/color]

In your dreams.

True story. I was in Tinapa yesterday.

1) The project looks completed. I saw no trace of further construction work on site.

2) The place looks strikingly beautiful.  Unlike Nigeria.

3) Banks (UBA, First, Eco, Union), MTN, Glo, Woodin, Diva, Clear Essence and about six
other companies (cant remember their names now) were doing business.

4) The water park (1000 naira and 500 naira for adults and children respectively), Children
     park and a magnificent hotel were also fully doing business.

5) Except for the hotel and water park, patronage is still low.

6) Even the beautiful Nollywood studio looks deserted.

In my opinion, the concept is commendable. Whether it is suitable in Nigeria is a discussion for another day.

I think you make sense.
This country is often divided
along those lines.

I have confidence in just three:
Akunyili
Osotimihin
and Lukeman
Others are a bunch of Hausa politicians that may not do
better than those they are replacing.

Yeah, I see traces of ethnic/religious bias in this administration

What grade did you come out with, 2.1 or 1st class?
Your grammar is poor. Your topic, even with the modification you
did somewhere in the middle of the thread, contains blunders.

McCain will soon be senile

Greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttttttttt Malabites and Malabresses!

This "Nigeria 1" guy is deliberately breeding division among Southern Nigeria.
I doubt he's a Yoruba guy.

@Poster (Nigeria1)

You amaze me.
So if you are made president of Nigeria
today you will continue this deep hatred for the zone that produces
80% of the nation's revenue?

You can't win your fight for Yorubas by denying Niger Delta
its fair share of resources from their backyards. Enough of your "badbelly".

You are fanatical. Elders and other true sons of Yoruba won't
support you. Go sample their opinions.

Obasajo's govt was far better. Yardua's is dull, no spark.
Obasanjo gathered some good heads around him who strived to excel.
Yardua only has a bunch of notherners around him.

It's Calabar I heard too.

Ohakim had never cleaned and greened Owerri before. Forget those minor paintings here and there. He instead, spends money on jingles and newspaper adverts. Clean cities in Nigeria are Abuja and Calabar.

Calabar is clean and looks natural.
Abuja is very artificial
