This kind overhype
Is this the government's way of looking for investors?
Tell udom his media team is wack.

Almost everyday akwa ibom dey news.
Same elibrary wey dem no fit maintain?


This overhype will lead to influx o and no be like say the place na place to do biz. Na place to flex money o.


No normal person can go and sit out at plaza o!
I dare OP to go and sit out there with his family. It's now a place for touts and buying and selling.
Stop misleading people.
That's not a tourist attraction anymore.

Not a single attraction in Udo udoma park where dey use for Christmas village. Fear God.
Only thing there is the library wey no dey open to d public and should be making us money and no historical art works exhibited there.

Even akpabio hospital no be place to go to. Unless u wan spend money and no cure. See as d place be like mortuary....because they can't look for able hands to run the place but instead are paying foreigners who r barely even there.

This kind hype go run d state down o. Every body go come there think say something dey happen.
Aside ibeno we got nothing else.

Ibom tropicana wey dem rebuild, we all know that more than half of that mall won't be taken even in three years cos akwa ibom na glorified state wey nothing dey happen. Even market square will be regretting after a while!
Unlike ph here where dem go grab all d shops before dey build finish.

If u get money to invest u can come but don't believe the lies that we got tourist attractions centres mbok.

There na to flex money o!
Work no dey o!!!!

I be ikono pikin and thats my place , but quit the lies!


Una go quote me tire.
Pictures wey dem tag 2013! Show us 2021 photos of these places.

Tell op to put recent photos of what plaza looks like to know if I am lying.

Looool.
Make people no park bag think say na greenland o.
Nothing dey happen.
The people only look forward to election period that's when d whole akwa ibom will become alive come dey collect 500naira per person per rally, a whole day just to be praising their candidates.
Me self dey shame for my people!

Aside akwa ibom being neat and well planned nothing dey happen there o

Hmmmm...the competition is now between cross river and akwa Ibom state.

I observed lately on this news app the battle for supremacy between cross rivarians and the akwaibomites. I love this because, people from other ethnic regions now understands the differences between this two states and, more is to come.

My humble advice is that, the later should learn how to respect the former for I have never seen in reality where the ear is taller than the head.

19.[/b]Bridge of No Return, Ikot Abasi[b]



The bridge of no return was given its name by the people of Ikot Abasi. This bridge brings to mind the pains of slave trade and was usually the last point of contact between slaves and their lands before they were put on big ships and sent to work on farms in America. Although the bridge of no return is very infamous among the people of Ikot Abasi, it is a major tourist destination in Akwa Ibom.

Wey my ancestors for don follow go this bridge, shea I for only de see Nigeria for news now undecided

1. [/b]About Ibeno Beach[b]
Ibeno beach, which stretches 45km from Ibeno to James Town, Akwa Ibom, is the longest beach in Africa. Ibeno beach is one of the beaches on the Atlantic Ocean, and it's located in Ibeno local government, Akwa Ibom state, southeastern Nigeria. [/b]Ibeno beach is highly rated because of its peaceful and safe surroundings. It is the most popular beach in Akwa Ibom. Although Ibeno is now a popular tourist atttraction because of its beach, the area has some history too. Ibeno was the landing site for one of the most successful christian missions in Nigeria - the Qua Iboe christian mission from Scotland which arrived in the early 20th century. Relics of that missionary expedition also attract tourists to the area.[b] In 2013, the federal government constructed the Ibeno bridge to attract tourists and improve other economic activities in the area.
Services
Tourists can enjoy continental dishes. Customer service offered is top notch.
Best Features
The beach itself is a must see as it is the longest beach in Africa.

The beach has a bridge which was built by the federal government.With its beautiful coastline, Ibeno provides endless natural facilities for tourist, such as; Boat Riding, Canoeing,Water sport, Volley ball, Beach soccer, Archery, Sun bathing etc.

[/b]Who Can Visit[b]
The beach is open to families on vacation, class groups, couples, fun lovers. children, relaxation for tourists, lovers of water sport etc.
Best Time To Visit
The best time to visit there is during the dry season, from November to April. Preferably during the weekend, public holidays or during festive periods.
Safety
As ExxonMobil operational headquarters is at Qua Iboe terminal, Ibeno, seasoned guards patrol the area 24/7 to keep visitors safe and to ensure orderliness.

Hospital too OP? I ain't sick i mean.

Health/medical tourism... Sort of. Something Nigeria is yet to explore.

Ever heard of it?

Tourism isn't limited to visiting beaches, clubs, etc etc. Some people enjoy visiting health facilities and prisons too as a form of tourism. Others like to visit ghost towns and abandoned factories.

Google "types of tourism" and you will be awed at what rocks other people's boats as far as tourism is concerned.
