| A Whole New Enugu, Nigeria by ArlinTv(op): 5:28pm On Sep 28, 2024 |
The Enugu Coal Camp was a place every one wanted to be. But Not anymore. It was a place where economic and social lives boomed in Enugu, the then capital of Eastern Nigeria . The coal camp was deliberately planned and built by the colonial masters to house coal miners. The camp had well trimmed flowers and beautiful lawns, it was the centre of attraction for most Igbo elites. Everyone wanted to live there.. the extremely happy and peaceful life in the Enugu coal camp is even captured in Cyprian Ekwensi’s novel Coal Camp Boy.. It was through this writer, Ekwensi who is , Nigeria’s foremost urban novelist that most people had a peep into the beauty of the coal camp and how the boys who grew up there were feared and respected not only throughout Enugu, even the East and even Nigeria as a country.. In his words “People used to have fun to their fill”, because life started and ended at the coal camp where workers spent money as they liked.” Well this was years ago. Things have since changed. as the years went by, the coal camp's fortunes began to decline especially as Nigeria government started to focus on other industries like the oil industry .. Join us today as we take you on a trip to coal camp and show you this Enugus neighborhood that will always remain an important part of the states history and identity. And if you are watching this and you happen to grow up In this neighborhood especially during its glory days we would be glad If you would let us know A Whole New Enugu, Nigeria https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sty1-VXaByY #EnuguState #EnuguCoalCamp #Enugu #GovernorPeterMbah #AbiaStateNews #EnuguStateNews #AbiaStateNewsToday #EnuguStateNewsToday #Aba #GovAlexotti #abakaliki #nigeria |

Those guys are trying. It's a lovely and historic part of that city that will never fade. That area had continued to dominate auto business in the city, people flock there daily to Buy parts and accessories Repair automobiles Renovate automobiles Auction old automobiles The value of the properties in that area is so high, that area is full, and people keep buildinginto the mountains, and new investors keep flocking the area to buy and renovate old houses. The rate of building replacement there is the fastest in Nigeria. |

vanbonattel:This is what Ibadan and other SW towns failed to do due to low disposable income among their masses but they keep consoling themselves that others lived on trees when they built theirs |

Osoboshi:The most stupid defense I ever encountered. London that was built when Ibadan was still a tick bush is still sparkling, Westminster is over 900 yeas while the Buckingham palace is over 300 but yorubas are using early civilization the reason why Ibadan of less than 150 years old is in derilecript state , even Jerusalem of 3000 years looks far better |

XerXers:You and Ibadan sha. Do you know just like a lot of people have affirmed,that Ibadan has more infrastructures and more developed than Igboland? |

Ritchiee:All Ibadan people are from Lagos there's nothing like Ibadan. |

vanbonattel:All Yorubas are from Ibadan,Lagos,Ekiti etc. As long as it is Yorubaland,all Yorubas own it. Igbos are migrants in Yorubaland but they are welcome if they behave. It was when I travelled to the SE and Ibadan that I know that Ibadan is more developed than the entire Igboland even with its old side of Bere axis. The videos of SE and Ibadan permanently confirmed that Ibadan is very much developed than the entire SE 5 states. |
