ORON: Why Is Nobody Talking About This Nigerian City In Akwa Ibom State by ArlinTv(op): 11:06am On Apr 27, 2024
This is how we explored the city of Oron, and we were surprise at what we found.
This is Oron, one of the 31 local government areas in Akwa ibom and it is the third largest city in the state and one of the most peaceful places in Nigeria, And today's videos we will be showing you around this beautiful town, showing you what this Beautiful City Oron looks like in 2024..

You people should normalised calling places like this "city"...if you see where Yorubas call cities in their region you'll even call Oron a mega city.

Normalize that

Same thing now, no light. Was there earlier this month.

A nice place to be. They got clean roads and varieties of food.

Madam, that's my mom's village, would it stop being her village because it's now a city?

BTW it's even more developed than my current location and where I stay is a mega town.

It is what it is....

The place looks nice.. just that the oil allocations and revenue is not reflecting from structures visible there.

it is on record that Oro is the highest oil producing community in Nigeria and if not internal and external politics against Oro, Ibaka seaport would have swallowed every seaport in Nigeria

Akwa ibom is bless with good roads. It's one of the reasons, I still respect former governor Godswill Akpabio.

Nobody gives a fu*ck about oro. If it could swallow every other seaport in Nigeria why hasn't it.

Oron crayfish is the best for sure.
Re: ORON: Why Is Nobody Talking About This Nigerian City In Akwa Ibom State by Chasito: 10:11pm On Apr 27, 2024
I served there, the place is nice and they have good road network, but I was disappointed no be wetin I been dey expect wey I see, upon all the oil money they have, it's still a growing city sha, it's not as developed as Lagos, Portharcourt, Onitsha, or even Ibadan.
Re: ORON: Why Is Nobody Talking About This Nigerian City In Akwa Ibom State by kenny714433(m):
Who told you Oron is the third largest city in Aks?

Now be counting.
1. Uyo
2. Eket
3. Ikot Ekpene
4. Abak

The competition is between Ikot Abasi and Oron
Ikot Abasi has competitive advantages over Oron being:
Federal University just got sited 3 years ago. So the development would kick in.
Alscon or Ibom FTZ might just succeed and give the town a boost
Quote close to BUA refinery.

Oron is our own version of brown roof town.

But just imagine setting up the kind of fishing industry I do see on Discovery Family.. 🤔

Beautiful Oron, what a nice place to stay.

I remember during my NYSC, I served in Oron LGA.

The place is nice, good weather, nice food, beautiful babes ... and a lot more

I think your Ibadan is a brown roofs city.
Oro is boasting of some of the oldest secondary schools in Nigeria. Methodist Boys High school was founded in 1905 and Mary Hanny Secondary school was founded in Oro 1909
I won't fail to mention Methodist primary school founded 1905. Methodists Church, Catholic church, Presbyterian church etc were established in Oro earlier and the monuments are there for all to see
