I'm from SS. I'll give the award to UYO as number 1. Calabar number 2. My Edo still try sha. If you want to live in an urban and peaceful place...calabar is the place. If you consider low income and still want to have the life...pick Benin or asaba.

Was in Calabar last year. Although the average Calabar person will tell you their city has gone to dust I CAN TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY COUNT HOW MANY UN TARRED ROADS ARE IN THAT CITY.

The city is pristine, clean, peaceful and most importantly civil.

Calabar is by far the best city in Nigeria.

I still don't know what people there are crying about, especially compared to other parts of the country.

I can only imagine that those people live in Calabar south or somewhere that isn't Calabar proper.

It is still the best city in Nigeria but Uyo is catching up.

The funny thing about Calabarians is that they cry no money but just take a look around that town and you go see joints up and down.
The people look good, go about well dressed and their babes nah fire.

I told a dude who complained to me that why una go get money? See all this jolly jolly wey surrond you. if nah me sef i for don broke

THEIR GOVERNMENT are you recuperating at all? marginalisation wont let it be!!! the crisis only started around 1997 or 1998. Nigeria has been feeding on oil from the south since the 1950ies. brother, it is not right at all.

Oh! I see. Do you have an idea of how much the likes of Ibori, Odili, Sylva and Alamesigha, Amaechi, Igbinedion embezzled? Don't you know the figure is way beyond what is published in the newspapers? Is the amount gone into personal coffers so negligible that it wouldn't have mattered?

I clearly understand your angle but corruption is the major bane I'm talking about here.

I really hope the likes of Murray Bruce will back their words with actions. If that is so, you will see a different south south

You don't get the drift bro, that's their life generally whether they're rich or poor they love to enjoy life to the fullest!

embezzlement is a different chapter my brother. we are talking development and marginalisation here. how was abuja built? how was the third mainland bridge built? in the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's even when Ken Saro Wiwa was fighting for compensation over pollution was there Ibori, Odili, Alams, Amaechi and Igbinedion as you have mentioned?
the issue of development of the niger delta should have been a federal concern n not state. marginalisation is too much. just too much

What about their babes?

I hear sey dem sabi d tin pass Akwa-Ibom dem

On a more serious note, how about setting up a beer parlour business there & what's the cost of living over there? Hiw much does a plot of land cost averagely?

I get your point my brother and I am so happy to get someone very rational and mature like you. No one can rule out the case of marginalization but in the real sense, how many cities in Nigeria are truly developed because of special attention from the federal government? I guess you will mention the north but how many of them in the real sense? I only see Abuja, Kaduna and Kano in the picture. You know why? This same corruption will not allow it despite the cheating on our SS brothers.

But among some names I have mentioned, I am trying hard to mention names from Akwa Ibom and Cross River who are at par with them in that category. That is the major reasons why Uyo and Calabar are about the most developed in Nigeria. They were marginalized too but they refused to marginalize themselves. I'm not absolving them of corruption, but it is not as pronounced as that of their counterparts. You won't see them chase and assasinate themselves. They have more of patriots than traitors

Crap. Its a shame that Nowhere in the south south is as developed and organized like Abuja, even port harcourt and calabar which by virtue of their historic antecedents are meant to be some of the developed areas in Africa are nothing but glorified rural areas. Abuja that was developed with oil money looks better than areas where the oil is sourced from. Nigeria is big joke.

^^^This is the long and short of it all!

Any South South or South Easterner that can't see the glaring injustice, inequity and daylight robbery some are perpetuating in the name of 'one Nigeria'....such a person has eyes but refuses to see!

Just why the fuc/k shouldn't cities like Uyo, Calabar and Port Harcourt be up to the standard of Abuja.....if not better!?
