From this map you can see the most important bridge in Anambra state that remains unbuilt. A bridge is needed at the point of entry of Omanbala into the Niger to access the sparsely populated lands in Anam

TabletMan:
That's river Niger, the only river close to akpaka area is Nkisi which is not big like this.
Omambala river is not this expansive.

You are right that Omanbala is not that expansive but you are wrong to say that nkisi is close to akpaka Forest. From the map below the river is probably the Niger but you can see the northwards expansion is squeezed by Omanbala River such that it's going towards Nsugbe by the banks if Omanbala instead of towards Anam by the banks of the Niger

OkoroBufo:
A man under who Anambra state University went on strike for over 6months lacks the moral justification to talk about ASUU strike.
Peter Obi broke every worst records as Governor of Anambra state.

-Okoro bufo

And he resolved the matter once and for all. Anambra state university is in session right now while the rest of the country is on strike

Exmilitant:
A man in his 60s is young?
A man that served as governor for eight years is new?
Bro, give another reason.

He is the youngest among the four major contestant. He is new in presidential contest

What later changed? What dollar cannot buy does not exist

Kobicove:
How come a man is bearing the name "Chioma" which is essentially a female's name in the south eastern part of Nigeria?

Very common in Imo state. I have seen Ngozi. Ebere etc that are males from Imo. And Omuma in Rivers are of Imo stock, forget the artificial boundaries

Mega2biz:
That's Omambala river, almost at the point where it joined with river Niger

I thought as much because the northern shoreline of the Niger towards anam is still unutilized because no bridge over Omanbala at the point of entry into the Niger. Out of the three Omanbala bridges one should have been sited at the confluence to open up Onitsha expansion towards vast empty lands in Anam instead of squeezing towards nsugbe

MetaPhysical:
You are still using scale to compare.

The reason it is agreed that Yoruba is an ancient urban dweller, even ahead many European cultures, is because our cities comprise the full characteristics of an urban center.

I have written and gave my theory online that the word "urban" is etymologically derived from Yoruba word "Oba". If you want to see my contribution on cognates between Yoruba and Latin/Roman root words go to Nairaland Culture Section.

The characters of an urban settlement comprise geo-labels such as Upper; Lower; Cross or Tri; Center; Outer; Market; River; etc...

These characteristics are fully captured in every Yoruba town, such as Oke; Isale; Orita Merin (for cross) but Orita Meta (for tri); Arin; Ita; Oja; Odo; and so on. These characters are found to repeat in every Yoruba town. You will also find it exactly mirrored in foreign places Yoruba have settled. It is part of the culture.

Metropolitan buildup is foreign to us. The characters of metro or mega city are, Main Street or Broadway; City Hall; Mall; Boulevard; Waterfront or Marina; Bridges; Highways; Drainage & Waste treatment; Statues, and so on.

In contemporary times Ibadan is far much bigger urban city than Lagos is. Towns linked into towns are inside what we call Ibadan. Lagos does not have that.

Meanwhile, Lagos comprise all the characteristics of a mega or metro city, far more than Ibadan.

According to demographic ranking 2021

But Lagos is worst, just like brown roof exist everywhere but Ibadan is worst. There is no Igbo word for agbero, it's often corrupted to agboro in igbo accent. A clear evidence of where it originated from

Meanwhile the builder of Lagos is chilling in France

See the best yorubas can offer

Did you forget this fact when you posted the below, or you are just a scam like fraudulent Obi

FG control transmission. Generation was privatised. Power generated in a particular area in not used within that area

He created enabling environment for someone to invest in power generation in Anambra.

anonimi:
Did Anambra have 24/7 stable electricity at the end of Obi's eight years in 2014

Power is FG controlled

Hotfreezer:
What was Peter Obi's achievement in electricity in Anambra as Governor?

Tinubu built independent Power plants in Lagos as Governor, Atiku privatised Nepa as Vice President, what has Obi achieved in the area of electricity?

Century Power Okija, Anambra state
You people don't know anything about the east sha

Onitsha is rated second largest urban area in Nigeria after Lagos

A village with beautiful roads is still a village

Some screenshots for those who don't have enough data

Akpaka Forest Original planned to be a forest reserve near Onitsha by colonialists, the place was later mapped out for building due to rapid expansion of Onitsha. Few years later, forest gave way to mansions even when the roads are yet to paved

PROUDIGBO:
Nice drone shots of a highbrow residential area by the banks of the Niger in Onitsha. This used to be Akpaka forest in colonial times, and it would have been nice if some remnants of the forest still remained. Everywhere seems to have been built on in the name of development.

Had i been incharge of planning and approving plots for development, i would have left that land between the river embankment and the road to be used as a well-tended open/green space with walkways and seats facing the river. Also, the inner roads of the GRA would be done better than what's seen in the clip....with streetlights, sidewalks and trees lining both sides of the road.

Is that river Niger or Omanbala?

triple996:
Bitter people you know that elrufai always complete his projects he is not like your abia state governor who used 7yrs to complete a center table

What is the poverty and literacy rate in Kaduna? How about security? Industrial output , cash in circulation etc. compared to Abia. Is governance only about unnecessary flyovers?

See them. You better go and sell gala and stop cooperate begging

Wait for presidential debate

What happened to Lagos he built?

A supposedly educated tribe like yoruba voting for bad candidate just for ethnic taunting? You see the disadvantage of free education?

In 2003 ANPP defeated incumbent Kwankwaso who was in the ruling party PDP while Peter defeated PDP using structureless APGA

Pandora papers nko? The real test of character is what you do when no one is watching.

Totilopussylick:
Atiku was very popular

During 2019 general election

And still lose




Obidient children are eagerly ready

To take Nigeria to the next level and

Noth to the last level.

Because a sitting president was contesting for second tenure. The case is different now

Production and export build the economy not sharing oil money for consumption. Vote for Peter Obi

Tinubu's urchins are becoming more stewpid everyday. Which airport has a state government ever built in SW? we have already built 3 in South East (Owerri, Anambra, ebonyi)

Perfectbeing:
Peter Obi supported Atiku and voted for him.

Because there was no other option to Buhari that time apart from Atiku and he was younger unlike now
