Both are very bad... I used to ask if Asaba is truly the capital of Delta state or warri.

goodnewscliff:
Asaba is just 2 streets when compared to benin


ONLY IKPOBA HILLS BIG PASS ASABA

Resident in Asaba and I humbly concur. Perhaps the only similarity is that both are State capitals and there it ends.

Binikingdowm:
so abia, Oyo, imo, ondo and cross river are better than Edo state? Lmao.

The thing is midwest then wasn't receiving huge allocation, if been capital was the key to developement then ibadan state should be the most developed state in southern nigeria but now owerri, enugu, and almost all south south cities are finner than ibadan.

The 4 richest state in Nigeria aside Lagos are
Delta
Akwa ibom
River state
Bayelsa

They all receive six times of of what other states receives, they should at least be six times more developed.

Don't forget nddc have more works in Delta compare to Edo state because Delta contribute more to their pulse.

Comparing Edo and Delta state shows how backward Delta state really is

is it our fault that your land is barren?

no one is comparing Delta to that decaying Edo

apart from bayelsa there is no state worst than Edo in southern Nigeria.

maybe you should check the North. Delta and Edo are not in the same league.

if not for oshomole, Edo would have been the worst state in Nigeria

homehunters:
Am from Delta state, and I most say am not impressed with Asaba as a state capital It should do more. I schools at unizik in Awka, went there recently and was really impressed with how Awka the state capital has developed over the years. That showed growth. Since I have known Asaba I haven't seen much development and growth over the years.

Gbam

I prefer Asaba to Benin anyday. Benin is too rustic with red earth everywhere. Really an ancient city.

Geekamon:
This OP na wayo. These pictures do not in any way accurately depict the overall general state of Benin. Nigga brought the best pictures. You could do better.

Nigga avoided Wire Rd, NTA Rd, Aduwawa etc.

Which developmental projects? You guys don't ever want to face reality. I am from delta north so don't think I am being tribalistic. Asaba is a disgrace of a state capital.

Cantonese:


"Glorified capital". That means your town or village in Delta state is a tiny hamlet with plenty of huts. Tell us which town in Delta state aside from Warri that is as developed or getting speedy development than Asaba. Even neighbouring towns are fast developing because Asaba is the state capital. As a state capital there is a huge concentration of developmental projects going on there. It will remain like that even after the Igbo speaking governor leaves.

barren? You must be a joker

Most Deltans are still running to edo state to school, dey full uniben and ekpoma.. that tell you all you know.

The difference between Edo and Delta in job opportunities is that one has oil companies the other don't.

The two state don't even have constant power supply.

I still don't know how Delta is better than Edo state when most buildings in Delta are government own.

The truth is delta governors have no future plans for the state, it's just to use 10% of the money to work and loot the remaining ones while Deltans are clapping and jubilating because they are receiving peanuts.

Be ashamed despite huge oil allocations Delta state is still backward

Am just here to read and like comments but unfortunately,I have not seen any comment to like why?

Asaba beats Benin hands down. Apart from Akpakpava and airport road which are business area, nothing to write home about Benin.

The planner of Benin tried in network of road linkage but the kind of structure I see in Benin gives me goose pimples. I wonder if they have laws banning demolition of mud houses. Again the roads are affected by floods which they call "erosion" in Benin.

Asaba is more of a modern city with fine structures. In fact the rate Asaba developed is unprecedented bearing in mind when it was made the state capital.

Those saying Benin is big are liars, Benin started from Ugbowo, to Bypass, to Auchi bye pass. Just follow the external ring road and cover Benin in 20mins

there are also Beni people even in our state owned polytechnic. people can school where ever they like.

Delta State GDP is still higher than that of Edo so we don't depend on only federal allocations.


the latest poverty ranking, only Lagos is ranked higher than Delta at second. which means Deltans are doing well financially. anyone who have been to Delta know it is easier to survive here .

Delta State was created in 1991. Benin has been the capital of the Midwestern region/Bendel since 1960.

someone from Edo should not be calling Delta backward.

we have already overtake Edo and they will forever be below Delta as long as this world is still existing

Officialgarri:

And when did Asaba and Benin turn Easterners?

Op, can you classify the images into the one which belongs to Asaba and the one ones for Benin, so I can help you push it to FP

Asaba however not Eastern is an Igbo city.

iluvdonjazzy:
Benin City

Asaba all the way ohh

non existent development, when the oil is finished (10-20) years time you'll realize how your leaders have been killing your people future.

I agree Delta is better than Edo state (from 2005) due to crude oil found in that region but it won't change the fact Delta state aren't progressing like it should be

Hmm, you're right tho, Delta has overtaken Benin.

Benin should be in the league of Enugu, Ibadan and Kano.

As they are all regional capitals.
But unfortunately, they don't improve at all.

Both, Benin, Kano, Enugu and Ibadan don't have oil.

And they're all bigger than Benin.
So, Benin ought to develop faster than the rest of them.

Asaba is looking good, but can be far better than it is today if the government can connect a flyover into Asaba from the express like we have at Ijebu Ode. That will reduce traffic and the risks connected with entering the town at Summit junction.

if oil finish even Edo will go bankrupt. Delta will even do better than Edo since our GDP is higher and we generate more non oil related revenue.


oil will never finish. there will be oil as long as humans on earth. more oil is being discovered daily in Delta

I laugh every one here calling red roof houses...come down to Lagos and see more of de red roof houses every were, Mushin, Oshodi, AJ city etc... U always find more red roof houses where early life started from back den. Off cause Benin is an ancient city/empire compared to Asaba

De same Benin and Asaba have their various nice environs today, and modern urban city

that's now how it work.. how long was Benin the capital of Midwest and how much were generated during those period??

oil will be of no value in the nearest Future, water will be more expensive than it.

By then you Deltans will realize you've be used

to develop Benin, you have to breakdown most part of the city and rebuild. I don't see where they will get fund for that

It doesn't matter how long was Benin as the capital.
I followed your argument b4 I decided to quote him.

You initially said because of oil.
That's why I quote him.

BTW, tho we don't have good leaders in Nigeria.
But, some leaders still dey try in their respective States and capacity.

Ekiti and Ebonyi are the poorest states in southern Nigeria.

They have the least landmass, they are not oil producing states.
Yet, I'm not sure if Benin can match them self.
So, it's leaders that matters.

remove federal allocations, does Edo generate more than Delta State?

yes if you remove oil and gas taxes

In development and infrastructures.
I said I don't know if Edos are better than them or not. (Ekiti and Ebonyi)

Sammy07:
Judging with this pics.
Asaba is more beautiful

You should be comparing Asaba with Calabar

Benin with Yenegoua

Akwaibom with port Harcourt.

That's a fair comparison I think.

In the next world, you can't compare glorified village of Akwa Ibom with Rivers

Sammy07:

you're not really smart if you try to compare Edo state with ekiti or ebonyi.

Edo state is better than ekiti,ebonyi,enugu,bayelsa,cross river,osun,abia and even imo state in any development indices

Facts don't lie

Moventist:

akwa ibom is the fastest developing state in South south but still can't be compare to river state, not yet
