My man Yu don't know what u'r saying. If cross river is backward in education mention states that are forward.! Ah ain't being sentimental but I know when it come to education my state go give gap to many states. The Ish of malpractise or waheva the OP is talking abt is an all round bane/menace. Happens everyhwere . You get? I clearly did not get the yardstick used by the OP to judge education standards. And I think dis will be difficult cus our dear country as whole is backyard in the education-sphere
The whole country is caught up in the ladder as regards general educations standards.
Not need to d brag on who pass.
And point to correct, e dun tae wey CRS stop to d receive money for oil. We no dae dat list again

Op, u are too much. All of ur observations were on point. In cross river, they have more than 33 local dialect. I serve in Boki East July 2011/ June 2012. In boki alone, they have different dialect, to the extend that a person in wula can't understand someone in bateriko, same in boki east.
On my last count, I am being in Cross river for more than 6 times after service. Oh boy that place is sweet die. I tell u.
Can't wait to go there again and get entertained!!!

Boki girls and their banana are worth dying for.

Nitefury:
Nice one op. But I'll make some corrections. It's Agbakpa and not Akpakpa. And Agbakpa is Ogoja while Afrike 1 (a.ka. Okpeche) is Bekwarra.

Point 1 and 2 I agree with you.

3. While I agree Calabar is the most developed, I beg to disagree with your other submissions. By land mass, Cross River is bigger than any three Southeastern states (you can think of) put together. Ugep, Ikom, Ogoja, and Obudu are the other urban areas and all with an appreciable form of development.

They are have very good town road network, running pipe borne water and functioning General hospitals with exception to Obudu (which has a better managed missionary hospital and some private clinics). All these towns have the best town planning you can think of. With regards to the time the state wakes up, even Kaduna doesn't come alive by 7am compared to the same Lagos. Also worthy of note is that 85% of villages (including Afrike 1 & 2) are accessible by tarred road networks.

4 and 5 on point.

6. Cross River is better than Abia and Ebonyi combined. Agreed that most state government schools are trash, the predominantly Catholic missionary schools are doing wonders and would give Lagos schools a run for their money

7. When you mention Boki, Beauty comes to the mind. In Cross River we have Boki girls and the Rest. Ogoja girl dey learn work where Boki girls dey. And you forgot to add that promiscuity is rife amongst them all.

8. This is so annoying. Especially in the northern part of the state. Even if na 25 years old die, Dem go party like say Dem wan die follow am.

9. Afrike palm wine na die.. The best ever

10. The number of joints in the state (especially the northern part) is more than all the schools combined. Them too like groove.

Guy, u don travel for dis ogbonge country no be small. I'd like to tour most states too, once I'm through with my academic programme. Esp, eastern state, na dat part I no knw much abt.

My brother na God o... Na why office (or Lagos type of) work dey tire me. You live longer when you travel often and the experience opens up ones mind to the diversity of life.

Bayelsa aside, there's no southern Nigerian state I do not know. Some deeply, others just scratching their surfaces.

Then Kwara, Taraba, and (surprisingly) Plateau in the NC. Katsina, Kebbi, Zamfara, Sokoto in the NW and all NE states are the ones I've never been to or passed through before. I try na.

Omo you try ooo, and here I was hailing myself of having visited close to 14-15 States of the federation.

MadCow1:


I served in Cross Rivers State myself and I was really open to the thought of working and building a life in Calabar but the truth is that there is very very little employment opportunity in Calabar. The state had just lost its remaining oil wells to Akwa Ibim and had very little else going for it except the Tourism infrastructure left behind by duke which had obviously started to run down due to a lack of vision by the successor to Duke.

The bulk of the state's workers were civil servants and armed forces personnels. The sea port was comatose and was being kept alive by Dangote who was still importing his raw materials through the port. The Airport was just a transit point for passengers going to Akwa Ibim state. TINAPA was already over 60% dead at that time. There were just a handful of banks in the state. Agriculture was there but it was in the remote areas around Ikom axis of the state and they mostly grew plantain. The others who claimed to be business men were mostly into lifting petroleum products from the depot and selling. Even the hotels that were tops in Calabar before have all run down greatly since Uyo Airport opened. Even the Carnival is now a shadow of what it use to be and is a non profit making venture for the government that costs them money and loses them valuable manhours.

I didn't see any future for a young engineer like I was then in the state. In fact 2 of my friends who got retained by the banks they served in later had to leave the state for similar reasons.

I would like you to prove me wrong by stating the employment opportunities open to a young graduate in Cross Rivers outside of Government.

sir, your assertions are not all true. Well, Tinapa is death, they are more hotels spranging up in Calabar with malls following. You can hardly get a room in any hotel in Calabar from Nov to the new year, thanks to the carnival..which was huge last year.Filmhouse that opened less than 3yrs ago will have another branch soon. The CICC is running with the only Nigerian rail,with the center booked deep into 2017(it will be hosting the Council of Mayors this year)...and General Electric is situating there african factory there. All is not well with Calabar,but things are getin beta

iamgiggssleaky:


tuale sir.. as in eh, municipal gardens bin hit but na towards end of service year e begin happen tho I flex am well esp during that POP period.

oh! I sabi that joint for rabana but unto say my place near that fiesta side, I prefer to groove for atekong, buddies to be precise.

service year bin sure shaaaaaa

bless up boss....i enter that buddies. sha....anoda make sense zones na that De choice wey dey after Gtb ...them dey get live band for dere but Calabar south no. dey rest for dere....na from ikot ansa u dey enter Marian com do my thing o...no time....Cally na fun place no doubt...

UNKNOWNSOJA:




There are better tinz to do in Calabar besides the girls jare...You can visit Marina resort, where you can sip fruit juice or Cold beer by the sea, thereafter, you can visit the Slave History Museum at the resort... You fit cry inside the museum after you watch the short movie wey dey dem show inside that museum, before you go from one dark room to another where first class art works of slaves are on display with soft background slave music....Its first class, compared to what i saw in both Togo and Ghana...#Trash..My favourite is the Airport Joint! Chai, That airport dey full from 4pm upwards...joints every where with correct fish, assorted suya and beer on the lush green grass. If you are kinky,and less-Pastoral, You might as well want to visit Flour Mills on Muritala Muhammad way at night for some Exotic Calabar Calabar flavoured quickie...lol..*runs out of thread*

Kongo campus

Eteo:
Op, reading ur post reminded me of the story of the six blind men who went to visit an elephant and each described d elephant based on d part of the elephants body that was touched.

When u mentioned d meals in cross river, I didn't see Afang soup, edikang ikong soup, abak (banga) soup, afia efere (white soup) , ekpang nkukwo, coconut rice, fisherman soup....these are the real deal in cross river. kindly go back to Calabar, (not Ishibori or Obudu or Akamkpa) and sample all these meals that I have mentioned ; and then come and open a rejoinder thread.

No 7 is fallacious...Calabar girls are the real deal. Calabar girls are extremely neat, Atam(northern cross riverians) girls are far from neat, not in appearance o, I mean go to their homes, watch them organise.

The best Atam cook will not willingly enter a competition wt an average calabar cook.

Calabar girls are mostly reserved and restricted children,soft spoken and well versed in pampering a man, Atam girls are mostly promiscuous, sharp tongued and are yet to learn d skills of making their man feel like a king. Oh! The atam men sef dream of marrying a calabar girl.

Calabar people generally are well educated, due to their early encounter wt d missionaries...so when OP said the pple are lacking behind in terms of education, it is erroneous. King Eyamba the 5th some centuries ago wrote to the whites to " come and teach our people how to read book and how to know God" he went on to say how " plenty sugar cane live here" and went on to implore the white men to come and teach us what to process out of sugar cane ( please Google King Eyamba the fifth)
Calabar has recorded a lot of firsts in Nigeria (Google is ur friend).

Let me take a pause here...

WHOEVER THIS PERSON IS, YOU ARE FUNNY...why trying so hard to bad mouth some other persons opinion? as far as i am concerned the opinion posited by the OP are absolutely CORRECT....by the way i live and work in calabar...seen it all...
