BastardWike:
You're doing a good job. A brief but informative piece you dropped there. That Orji Uzor used to be an alternative route into Ogbor Hill whenever Waterside is choked in traffic but it's very narrow. Aba may have terrible roads and no doubt suffers criminal neglect by succeeding governors since 1999 but the city is not totally as bad as being projected.

Thanks, more needs to be done in Aba
Although most pictures on the internet of Aba aren't really pictures from ABA

It doesn't really look like other markets in Aba
It has an average look of some northern villages in Nigeria

If you visit Ahia Good morning in Aba
You will think you are in the North
A lots of Arrewa people there eh!
You will even see many fine fair alahaji

It's just like a smaller version of ARREWA ONIONS MARKET in uratta

More on Ahia Good morning market

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 when 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 youths 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 ones 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

IGBOSON1:
So you live in Aba, and you kept quiet all these years that evil bigots had free reign.....posting negative and nasty pictures of Aba on the net? You had to wait for Nigercity to start a thread on Aba for you to now come and poach pics from for your blog!

This is what i mean when i say Aba youths are part of the problem! They sit on their fat asses, doing nothing, as their city is being ridiculed and run down on social media with pics that don't represent the current state of things on the ground today! Notice how the bigots and Igbo haters tend to steer clear of Anambra (specifically Onitsha)? They know Anambra youths on social media are no shrinking violets, and will attack you back twice as hard if you try attacking their state or cities!

Lolz.
Exactly my brother
All young boys and girls here are busy
