I got to the Resort I was turned back by stern looking MOPOLS who forbade me to snap nor look at the Resort for reasons I do not know..

I took off again because they threatened to seize my car key if I do no leave immediately................

Nero Stadium Nanka.....a privately owned pitch!

Work is still ongoing there..

I can't really place this community but I know it is somewhere after Neni just before Agulu..

This is what we mean when we say that Anambra has the best road networks not just in the urban centers........

This sort of roads are not found anywhere else except Anambra and America.

Usually, the part of Enugu state known as Ninth mile corner is a logjam during festive seasons like this........

Commuters have been known to suffer a lot of hardship due to the traffic situation here, very heavy around this time of the year. But there is a large detachment of security men here now, civil defence, road safety, police etc all controlling the traffic now.

This is how we fetched water for domestic use back in the years when there was no other sources of water supply. Children that came back for Christmas still enjoy going to fetch water from this stream for the sake of the adventure. .....

Some of us also learnt how to swim from here, there are deep areas where one could splash about and relax in the chilling cool springs. ......
