In Igboland, we are lucky to have cities and towns that keep evolving as time goes by unlike other parts of Nigeria or even Africa where slums constitute a significant part of their cities. However, our biggest problem is that government has failed to keep pace with urbanization. You will see areas with fine houses lining up the streets yet terrible roads, open drains and zero aesthetics.

State governments should even pass a law that any house with spaces must either plant grass on it or use gravel to cover the red earth. We live in a globalized world and perception is very important.

To understand the dark hatred and contempt-filled mindset of Mktinsight for Anambra is to look at his half clever deceits. When he wants to belittle Anambra accomplishments such as to compare Anambra airport terminal size, he uses the biggest airport terminals in the world such as London Heathrow or New York's JFK. But when he wants to compare where Anambra is developmentally, he points to places that are not even as developed as Abakaliki just to undermine the entire state.

While i have nothing against Kisumu, we should not try to pass it off as a standard that should be copied. Kisumu harbors the biggest slum in Kenya. Infact if you look at the satellite image of Kisumu, you will see that the slum area cover greater than 70% of the city. While the Kisumu governor has continued to vastly improve the city, get more international airlines to use the Kisumu International airport, it is still a far cry from what should be touted as an example to copy. If Anambra wants examples of African cities to copy, it will be Durban, Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, etc.

Mktinsight stop deriding yourself suggesting Kisumu or Bamenda as places that are better than Anambra in your silly warped mind.

Update on Anambra airport runway
Still on asphalting

.....and how does all these crap about Addis Ababa rail or Ghana airport in these African capital cities BUILT BY THEIR FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS concern Anambra STATE? In sane countries, it is their Federal Govt. that will be building the Anambra intl. airport to boost commerce in those countries the same way the Nigerian FG built ALL airports in northern Nigeria to boost Hajj operations ( EXCEPT Katsina airport).

To begin with, Anambra isn't the capital of Nigeria. So you are preaching to the choir. Please exit the thread and go to Nigerian threads where such would be appropriate to plead that Abuja or Lagos airport should come to par with Kotoka Intl. airport.

It is also hilarious that you are posting the Addis Ababa rail here. To begin with, railways are in the "exclusive list" in Nigeria's constitution where state governments are banned to build railways. Again, if you were sincere, you would be agitating that the silly 1999 constitution that bans states from building critical infrastructure be taken town. But you would not do that because the truth is that you truly don't want to see development in Anambra. You just want to hide under irrational excuses that does not make sense to justify why you would never applaud the state for truly punching above its weight.

Even rich states like mine took more that 8 years under Uduaghan to build an airport! Obiano is well on track to repeat the feat in less than 2 years! Mind you Anambra does not even see up to 50% of the revenue available to Delta state. Not to mention others such as Lagos, Kano, Kaduna, katsina, Rivers, Akwa Ibom etc that enjoy gigantic federal allocation. The only state that is punching above its weight like Anambra is Ebonyi.

Your bitterness and wicked heart towards Anambra and her people will continue to bring you frustration in life because you truly can't do a thing against anyone God has blessed. That is why Nigeria is in such tattered state because instead of supporting Igbos to build a strong Nigeria, they have concentrated on how to marginalize Igbos and under develop Nigeria in the process. What i love about that situation is that in the end, they will all wake up someday and realize that as they spent precious time meeting to develop wicked plans & policies against Igbos, the Igbos themselves did not waste their own time on planning evil for them. Instead the Igbos busied themselves with how to develop themselves. In the end, when they are jealous and call Igbos names for their achievements, they forget they spent their own time thinking and plotting evil while the Igboman spent his own time on how to better himself. Just like you right now, i would advise you to use your time better on what is beneficial for your state. Osun state needs your power of research to tell them who to copy in order to come out of their financial mess. Than coming here with all sorts of half clever deceit that end up fooling nobody. You are wasting your time and using your talent for evil.

BTW, i hope you have seen the picture showing the asphalting of the airport 3.7 KM runway in progress. If you haven't seen it, let me post it again for you. So keep eating out your heart.

This is 2021 Aguleri Ofala festival.

Brief history of Ofala festival:

The Ofala Festival is an annual ceremony practiced by Igbo people, particularly the indigenes of Onitsha, Umueri, Umuoji and other neighboring communities such as Aguleri, Nnewi and Ukpo in Dunukofia Local Government Area.

It serves as a rites of renewal of the king or Igwe or Obi and it is similar to the Igue festival in Benin and the Ine, Osi or Ogbanigbe Festival in many mid-West Igbo communities of Nigeria. The term ofala, is derived from two Igbo words - ọfọ (English: authority) and ala (English: land).

The festival is celebrated within two days mostly in October by the Obi (English: king) and is a customary obligation that must be performed every couple of years without fail

Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi and Imo, now all have airports, when shall your cursed dead Abia state have their own. Abia state is the worst and most backward state in Nigeria. Tufia

The thing is the Igbo towns and cities are newer than those from other parts of the country. That's why you see newer building in Enugu or owerri than you would see in Ibadan for example. The only down side is that our government are some of the worse in the country, so you don't get befitting roads for these new houses. Just imagine a julius berger constructed roads in Owerri, Awka or Onitsha for example.[/s]

BastardWike:



I think limited lands available for development is partly the reason for having evolving cities and towns. Why I said so is because cities like Onitsha, Enugu and Aba have sections especially in their "town" areas that are over hundred years old yet those sections now have modern looking houses. However, Ado Ekiti and Akure are all relatively new cities yet you will still find more ghetto looking settlements than you will find in say Aba or Onitsha that are probably older. In Aba for instance, in places like Azikiwe road, Asa road, Ehi road etc. you will see people buying bungalows or one storey buildings only to demolish them and build 4 or 5 storeys. In the 1980's bungalows and one storeys we're common but now 4 and 5 storeys are envogue. Maybe, in 2050's 7 and 8 storeys will be the norm. If only our state governors are up and doing, we would be having the best cities in Nigeria.

Americans use more of steel for their public buildings, that makes their buildings more beautiful and exquisite. This is a superb novel introduction in Nigeria building industry. China Railway Company is handling this Anambra international airport terminal. A total navigation from the usual mediocre Nigerian block and mortar

The part in bold is not absolutely factual. In 1950, the population of Onitsha was 74,000 while that of Abeokuta was 79,000. Now, can you compare the skyline of both cities? Onitsha has continued to evolve and now has a decent skyline while Abeokuta has stagnated. In the East, we demolish older and smaller houses to build bigger ones and that's why drone pictures of Eastern cities always tend to be more beautiful than its counterparts in the West.

First picture below is Onitsha while second picture is Abeokuta.

Afam4eva:

It would have been nice to see a pic of both cities in 1950. I can assure you that Abeokuta was more developed than Onitsha during the colonial days but the reverse is the case today. So, it's not necessarily because we demolish older houses in favour of new ones but because we build houses in places where there were never any houses.

Abohboy:


In the west they consider those old buildings to be their heritage and they’re not wrong they don’t even need to replace the roof, if they just paint and maintain the buildings and provide basic amenities to them, then the city could easily become like old Dubai or old Paris, where people visit just to see the architecture
