That got me laughing. Highly overrated. If no be that seaport wey de dia, nothing for bringing me come there..

The successive useless governments wants only Lagos to benefit from sea economy that's why they keep building new ports there and stifling other ports from functioning.
Seaport? grin grin, dey deceive unaself, your people selling gala, phone charger & otapiapia are also depending on seaport or mama nkechi selling water melon and okrika dey use seaport grin grin. Abeg shift.

Calabar has So many Cultism Case, Especially Area's Around Unical °°° Unlike Uyo or Akwa-Ibom™ as a Whole.

I Feel Akwa-Ibom™ Is not just Peaceful but Also the Most Peaceful and Safest State in Nigeria. ☑

Plus The State Also Has :
•Good Road Network and Less Congestion ✅
•Very Clean and Serene Environment ✅
•Very Accommodating People ✅
•An International Stadium and other Tourist Site ✅
•Beautiful Women ✅
•Plenty Delicious Delicacy ✅

For someone who have lived in both cities I will chose uyo. Very peaceful ☺️ and clean .

Good road and nice road network, you will hardly see back road.

Good food 🍱 with A la carte which cheap though they have high standards they are pricy .

I enjoyed my 3 years living there and if you want to enjoy light 💡 go to ewet housing estate 🏡. Just keep money for house .

Calabar is the capital of cross river state...

So a better comparison would be akwaibom and cross rivers or uyo and Calabar.

I have never been to both states but from what I hear Cross rivers is more peaceful and a tourist destination.


Almost went there one time for the annual December festival! Uyo is very peaceful! You can literally walk with your phone at 11pm

Both states are quite peaceful.
But Akwa Ibom are more hostile to themselves and even visitors.......I've heard most of them reject marrying from their place.
Give it to Cross River....the land of Paradise
. Well there’s no difference in terms of being hostile . I haven’t been to calabar sha but from what I heard they do same thing

make ona still day travel small na. You can only compare uyo to Asaba. You can't compare the whole of Delta to Akwa ibom

Akwa ibom na village for where delta they.
In Delta state almost every local government is habitable. There is nothing you will find in Asaba that you won't see in WARRI UGHELLI SAPELE OGHARA. AGBOR OZORO OLEH KWALE UBIAROKO UDU ABRAKA the list go on. U can't say the same to any other state in Nigeria aside lagos
. lol , be like you miss the topic!? Oga uyo is safer than any city in delta state. Facts o no be carry talk
Re: Akwa-Ibom Vs Cross River: Which Is The Most Peaceful State In Nigeria? by Lanre1st(m):
Both states are good. I've been to both though I serve in cross-river for a year while akwa Ibom is stop over sleep.

I will go for Crossriver as more peaceful and generous even with their daughters.

Only things baffled me is why tagging the two states most peaceful, Yala and Ogoja in Crossriver fought bloody before OBJ built a Barack in their boundary to make peace. Yala is still having communal clashes with ebonyi till date. Both state also have their share of election violence in election period.

What even make them most peaceful than SW state?

Let me give you an unbias opinion as a Cross Riverian with an Akwa Ibom paternal grandmother.

In the years Godswill Akpabio and Udom Emmanuel governed Akwa Ibom, it was significantly considered to have been more peaceful than Cross River. But the government's inability to invest in Human capital development over the last five years has culminated in the frequency of petty robberies, burglaries and theft, alongside the increase in oil bunkering activities. So lately, Cross River has slightly been more peaceful than her sister state.

But if you're considering the overall cost and quality of living between both states, Akwa Ibom has the edge due to the availability of very basic amenities like electricity, clean rural roads, portable water, affordable housing and healthcare.

So if I'm to make a long-term choice of living, I'll pick Akwa Ibom over Cross River cause I can easily bolster my personal security with access to the easy living standard Akwa Ibom currently promises.

Good thing I have apartments in both states anyway😊.

Asaba peaceful ? You forget they kidnapped mrakpor in broad day light ? Do you know the number of Hausa crises and petty thieves in the city ? Talk another thing or try enter uyo . Stay for a week then make conclusion

Both are relatively peaceful... No need for comparison.

When it comes to beauty cleanliness... Give it to AK.

Recently visit a general hospital in Akwa Ibom, took this picture and funny enough this is not even the capital.

Can't described Uyo cleanliness
Yeah... they take cleanliness seriously, even in their living environs. That hospital up there is Immanuel General Hospital Eket.

It is habitable and peaceful. The issues are dying slowing. For clarification purposes, I was only reacting to his statement about Delta State. I have not been to Uyo but I'm open to visiting there soon, heard it's dubbed "small London" by indigenes and visitors alike.

Very close call. [b]But I'd choose Calabar over Uyo because it has a lower cost of living. [/b]But both cities are just something else. Cleanx very good roads. Serene and chill. So many young fine and nubile babes (tertiary institutions na water), and enough hospitality/fun spots without too much madness or violence.

If you have 2 billion in slush funds and want to retire to a life of peaceful debauchery in Nigeria, where everyday is a holiday, then there's no better place than Calabar or Uyo.

Very underrated places. No be that rubbish, overpriced, overrated Lagos way those people no go take let us hear word.
Cost of living in Calabar is worse than Uyo. Don't just argue it.

A friend of mine who finished from Medilag, Idi-Araba, was posted to Calabar for his NYSC sometime around 2010. Omor, the guy has refused to return to Lagos oh! He has decided to settle in Calabar and has gotten married there. This is someone who was born in Lagos, went to Primary, Secondary, and University in Lagos. If not for NYSC, he would have thought everything about Nigeria ended in Lagos.
