A new antidote for ndi owhemmanu. This should be the oldest part of the city.

If you give me just $1 Billion and leave me with Aba for just 4 years, i'll turn it into the best and most beautiful city in the entire country!

Great shot bro! Glad to see you are still posting pics. Please be mindful of those that want to derail every Igbo thread. I know a certain individual with multiple monikers that will NEVER contribute any useful idea whatsoever in our threads. He only waits for our people to quarrel then he uses the opportunity to post filth and derail our thread.

Seeing Nnewi from the air shows how much we must do serious town planning for the city.

On the bolded, this is my response to another poster that raised the same point on the anambra thread.

"Nnewi, just like awka was never intended to be a city in the first place. It’s a village that rapidly urbanized.

The advantage awka has over Nnewi is that it is the state capital.

But if you study awka through google maps, you will see that it still has pockets of disorganized settlements and brown roof buildings.

In China, where there are no land rights, the communists just kick out the villagers and knock down their old ugly buildings. Then sell the land to private developers but in Nigeria private or community ownership of land is recognized it’s becoming a very big obstacle to proper urban planning. The only solution is for state government to create a mechanism for purchasing private lands in urban areas and selling the land to investors for development."

Impressive stuff!

Is this really Oko or a highbrow area in Ikoyi?

mightguy:
Please can we discuss about this. How to conserve the land mass of the igbo nation since our population is big.. What measures do you think we should take

Dremca:
Doing that in Anambra will bring an end to APGA leadership in Anambra state. The best option is what the government is doing currently by designating some areas in Awka for planned residential estate just like the Ngozika phase 2 (and other upcoming estates around there) and other planned estates in Isiagu.

I think you misunderstood my main point. I never said government should take the land by force. I said that government should purchase those private lands with a fair price and sell it to investors to develop it to modern standards. .

mightguy:
Please i want to ask this question. Base on the population of Ndiigbo xcluding the wana be. The current land mass of the igbos is it enough for the population of igbos ... Am talking about the places who acknowledge their igboness. Is it enough and what can we do and how can we manage the land mass so that it will be enough

joeisreal:
Raker300 did not do justice with those drone shots of Nnewi. Next time you visit ask of Umuanuka community Otolo nnewi near Dr. Ifeanyi Uba's house. Okpuno egbu Umudim, Uru industrial estate, Our lady of assumption cathedral, areas around Maria Regina comprehensive school. There are numerous other areas that showcases the stupendous wealth of Nnewi indigenes. Close to the Stadium you could have captured the Beverly Hills Hotel. Please go back and do justice to Nnewi by taking more aesthetically pleasing pictures.

Bede2u:
there is nothing really we can do.

I know igbo population is maybe 25 million highest. Forget naija inflated census.

SE is maybe 10 times larger than istanbul...and istanbul has about 15 million people.

Plus SE is inside the larger Nigerian land mass. We have enough land.

So we are good.

nnamdijonathan:


let's take it this way. Lagos is the smallest state in Nigeria with a landmass of slightly over 3,500 sqkm of which water covers about 30% of the landmass thereby further reducing the landmass of the state to about 3,000 sqkm. Lagos is the most populated state in Africa, has the highest number of companies, headquarters, factories, financial institutions and residential houses in West Africa when compared to other states, houses Africa's largest refinery and tomato processing plant, working on the lekki free trade zone, building 2 new seaports in Lekki and Badagry to add to the existing Apapa port, has the busiest airport in Nigeria, receives the most foreign visitors in Nigeria, investing in agriculture etc. All these things are in Lagos with its small landmass and yet, the state has not run out of landmass in many areas of the state like Epe, Badagry, Agege, Ikorodu, Ajah, Mile 2, Ikotun, Lekki etc.
The south-east has a landmass of over 29,500 sqkm with an estimated population of over 20 million people. Now, compare the SE to Lagos and tell me if the SE is not big enough for 4 times the total population of the Igbo race?

Dremca:
Those highbrow building must be student hostels. Nothing develops a place more faster than a higher institution.

ckenneths:
New structures in Enugu, and newer ones being built. .........

arinzeejikonye:
Another beautiful spot,

Ladies and gents........ I present to you the famous umuchi,

Got to give it up for the philanthropist - extraordinaire Dr. Godwin Maduka! ! !

This medical structure he built could further be transformed into a medical science institution.

The best option is what the government is doing currently by designating some areas in Awka for planned residential estate just like the Ngozika phase 2 (and other upcoming estates around there) and other planned estates in Isiagu known as new Awka. It wont be easy relocating the indigeneous residents just as similar thing happened in Calabar during the time of Donal Duke, he simply developed Calabar municipal leaving the indegenous residents in Calabar south.

InyinyaAgbaOku:


But everywhere in a city can't be residential.
How do you create great cityscapes and wider roads if you don't knock down some structures in the old parts of towns? Esp if these old parts are in the heart of the city.

And I had already stated earlier in the past, when I was talking about Enugu that these estate models aren't the best.
I prefer the pic of that New Haven posted above than all the Heliu residences of this world. Let's create more avenues and layouts than estates

Spider I am impressed this is educative and insightful;
Ndi Igbo are in deed a great specie. (olu oyibo di mma a na ama) as we are working very hard to achieve "More" than our fathers we should not forget.

1. Respect
2. Love
3. Originality
4. Integrity
5. Generous to our brothers (needy families & communities.)

With effective personal implemention of this list we will experience rapid ethnic reformation and returns.
Such as:
1. New face of identity
2. An edge over many
3. Good Attractions
4. Formidability
5. Wealthier
6. Growth
7. Many more
To acheve this we need to practice and teach our children and wives as soon as immediately to respect, love, be original, honesty and generious to the needy. Because it all going start from home down to the streets and to the community at large. Am sure this will mean a very good start of a new PAN-IGBOISM. We need to start this practice the next minute knowing the impact it will necessitate if we have sound behaviour/ character in our land and environ.
