Many must have heard or read about the Bonny Island in Rivers State, Nigeria. Bonny Island can be tagged the beauty and home of luxury with comfort and relaxation.

Somewhere at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean facing the Bight of Bonny sits the Island of Bonny. This serene Niger Delta community has several historical and economic symbolisms for the Nigerian nation. It was the melting point of economic activities right from the 16th century.

It serves as Christianity’s first port of call in West Africa. It is also home to so many illustrious sons and daughters of Nigeria. This significant constituent of the larger Ijaw ethnic nationality has her local dialect, Ibani is spoken across her various communities. With a thriving traditional system and robust cultural heritage, it stands out as one of the foremost local communities in Nigeria.

Her traditional institution is headed by Edward William-Dappa Pepple who serves as natural ruler and Amanyanabo-in-Council and ably assisted by a Council of Chiefs headed by Reginald Abbey-Hart who is also chief and head of Captain Hart major house. Her political leadership currently rests on the shoulders of Nelson Ben Irimagha who bears the traditional title of Amasenibo.

The community is subdivided into two main segments – the mainland and the hinterland. The mainland is comprised of the Township, Sandfield, Iwoama, Orosikiri, Aganya, Ayambo, Akiama, Workers Camp, Finima and some outlying fishing settlements lying along the Bonny River’s coastline. The hinterland includes the villages that serve as home to indigenes of Bonny kingdom.

Bonny Nature Park, being developed by Nigeria LNG is becoming popular for eco-tourism. The park covers the rain forest, mangrove swamps and area of sandy soil with freshwater ponds and tall timbers between the swamp and beach. It harbours some creatures like the pygmy hippo and reptiles including crocodiles, monkeys and some different bird species.

One interesting thing about this place is that Bonny Island is among the few places in Nigeria where there is power 24hrs, 365 days all through the day. Power in this island never blinks or goes off for some minutes except if there is general maintenance which barely lasts for an hour or 2.

Nigeria is blessed with amazing scenery, beaches, resorts and lots more. Bonny is carefully planned and crafted in order to show the beauty of nature. This island is also home to the NLNG workers.

AutoReportNG got some amazing and breathtaking pictures of these place and we felt we should share some to you.

Beautiful masterpiece, hater will soon come and start dia yeye comparison.

If not for security issues, i just wanna wake one day and start a road trip from west to south. especially these niger delta region. I need good sea food in my body.

One day sha!

We don't make use of our tourism in Nigeria..

So beautiful

Very lovely city, I spent almost a year in NLNG RA didn't experience power failure for one minute.

This is so beautiful, never knew Bonny island is this fab, it’s a glorious sight to behold,
I use to think most places in Rivers state are inhabited by violent people until I visited PH and that changed my mindset about the great Rivers state, Anytime I see a news on the state it’s always either Cultists clash, jungle justice(ALUUminatis) or armed robbery
Only for me to visit their and find out those mostly happen in their villages!

Kudos OP

IPOB okoro go soon mess am up... just wait!

Take me there

And who told you they're currently dealing with security issues? Is the West safer than the Southern part of the country?

@op, nice job. Bonny is one place I want to be but don't intend crossing that sea soon. Not after the one I crossed to get to Okrika with my heart in my mouth.

Nice scenery.

Beautiful scenery.


You won't even believe this is Nigeria except you were told .


Oil money on display

gloriaunobi:

Pack your bags ready .. 2wks for you.

Typical woman. Take me there

Get off Ur ass and go there yourself.

Don't wanna sound like a pessimist, but what's so special about this place? isn't it just like a regular 3rd world country area, nothing extraordinary.

Unless u wanna talk about its 24/7 electricity, which is understandable because most people don't enjoy it... if it was d norm, u wouldn't even insert it in this scenario.

It is Bonny Ireland according to one NLders

Really beautiful place

This is a shithole compared to Lagos mainland LMAO

You need to visit there to understand no part of this country can be compare to NLNG RA or IA

Beautiful and organized..... Not a clumsy area with huge population.

Why compare West to southern region?

There's nothing to state that the comment you were responding to came from the west.

I read this post with reminiscence of my experience while schooling in there between 2001-2005, Sec School. My school(Comm Sec Sch Bonny) at sand field has an ocean by the side. We used to watch ships sail during our break. It was a wonderful experience living in Bonny. I remember my 26 Dec beach party, it was a memorable fun that I will never forget.

Madam, chill. Not everything is comparison na. The dude probably just meant the lack of safety of motorway/interstate travelling. I even get paranoid leaving Lagos for Osun or Ogun sef because of increasing banditry all over Nigeria that is not limited to any region alone. There are particular danger spots in every region of Nigeria.

@topic. This is beautiful. Kai, Nigeria is blessed sha. Must visit someday by the grace of God.

What do you mean by the embolden? There's still nothing to state that it didn't come from the West.

He should've been specific. "If not for security" is ambiguous and insensitive. We demarket places by our comments.

Aforementioned is a direct quote from your comment

Why compare the safety of Western Nigerian to Southern Nigeria in that manner?

We have West, East, North and South.
