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.

You're right! As the Town with the highest concentration of millionaires in the country, i'm sure it wouldn't lack for better looking drone shots than the ones shown.

But this is a private effort. Ordinarily the unimaginative and visionless authorities or bodies concerned (ie- relevant state ministry in charge of tourism or investment; Nnewi local gov't; or Nnewi chamber of commerce and industry) ought to have done this without being prompted in order to sell their town better and be better placed to attract tourists, investors and other visitors! This is what you get when individuals who can't think outside the box are in charge!

Oko, Anambra state........

Impressive stuff!

Is this really Oko or a highbrow area in Ikoyi?

Aba Abia state

Websta.

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!

Handsomegod:
For once I have to agree with you. I visited Oguta in 2003 and I was blown away with sheer beauty,wealth,culture and sophistication in one town. It is not only the best planned community in Igboland,it also has some of the most enlightened fellows of Igbo origin who for some reasons remain anonymous. It is only second to Abriba in having hilltop residences and breathtaking structures.I lodged at Obana Motel,which happen to be on same street with Dr Alban's residence. Oguta is so dope that indigens who live in PH,Owerri and Onitsha troop home every weekend to spend it in their palatial mansions. Xmas holiday in Oguta is a carnival all day. The town also has one of the highest per capita of "diasporans" by a long mile. Almost every Uguta family I know has at least two of their wards based abroad. Oguta is more beautiful than many state capitals I know in South West and North west. This is no joke,friends.

I've been there as well, and know of two families there: the Agoruas' and the Nwapas'.

Oguta has succeeded in blending the planned layout of streets typical of cities, with the laid back, unhurried and calm atmosphere typical of most Igbo villages. The best time to enjoy the place is when everyone (at home and abroad) comes home for Christmas. The pristine lake is just an added bonus!

Now i think of it, i can boldly say Oguta is the Igbo village that offers the best of both worlds (city and village living) and in my estimation even trumps Abiriba (small London) that seems to have more and better press.

I suppose that Nigeria didn't exist before 1999, or it was managed superbly pre-1999 by Buharis' constituency...the army!?

Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase 'died in active service'!

Looking at drone shots of Nnewi, it's obvious where their priorities lay; aesthetics, planned greenery and well swept streets are the last things on their agenda! It's all about 'ikpata that ego'!

Nnewi

Is it just me, or does Nnewi look like parts of Ibadan?

hammer6F:
The rate at which Igbo men beat their wife is alarming.

Even more alarming is the rate at which they kill their wife.

The only thing i care about is that all Igbo men will be tag with that standard as wife beater or killer.

Pleas umunne m, let us do something to educate Igbo men that it is better to leave the marriage than end up killing a woman that was handed to you in good faith by her family. She is someone sister, daughter, aunty first before your wife.

If they did not take care of her, u will not see her and like to marry her.

Some of us are complaining that Igbo women marry foreign men more than any other women from other tribe.

Based on media reporting, i am starting to see that some of our igbo men are idiots.

Lion in the house, is the greatest cowardice.




Let us discuss ways to put a stop to this and the appropriate punishment for offenders. I am really disgusted.

Bia, stop posting this unfounded cra'p on Igbo themed threads you dey hear me so!?

You're no different from those two or three bastards (who might just be one person with multiple monikers) who are pretending to be Igbo, and who for the past two or three pages have been arguing between themselves (even posting pictures of dead brethren), all in a bid to try and portray Igbos in a bad light and derail the thread!

You guys must be really mentally disturbed if your fear and hatred for Igbos can drive you to this point!

Let's go local, a rice field in Ufuma, Orumba north Local government of Anambra state.........

Thank God the flooding didn't reach here!

Not one single Yoruba? SMH

Well in fairness to them, table and lawn tennis is their own forte!

Lipscomb:
That iwobi don't useful for blacks he pledge his allegiance to Italian racism.

Rubbish! He has my full support!

You fuc/k up your country by electing a bigot without a clue, and now you want to leave all the mess you caused for others to suffer while you rush of to readymade Italy and live large!

Stay in your country and enjoy your 'dividends of democracy' courtesy of Buhari and APC!

stankezzy:
south south and south east states can't be compared to South West states , ss and se have the capacity to match money to money and violence to violence so that the will of the people must prevail , in last anambra election , do u know how many billions apc candidate was sharing , yet the money was collected without voting for them , when they wanted to use army and police they noticed that equal and opposite violence is already down waiting for them so they cooled down for the will of the people

Hehehehe

Igbo cunny!

Hotfreeze:
Tinubu survived from 1999 to 2015 without federal might.

From 1999 to 2018, Saraki has always had federal might backing him. 2015 was the only election he didn't hv federal might backing him and federal might was against him.

Hehehehe

That's b'cos Tinubu didn't have a Buhari and APC to content with!

I'd like to have seen how he would have coped with that power-hungry, remorseless and desperate lot against him! They take no prisoners!

Freestyl:
You may wish to research more on the Bayelsa election sir.

Rubbish! Whatever violence that occurred in the last Bayelsa gubernatorial election is down to Sylva and APC thinking they could intimidate and rig the election in their favour....all of which PDP and Dickson resisted vehemently!

1st Oct' should be a day of national mourning!

Just what da fuc/k are you celebrating? You're at the bottom or near the bottom of all developmental indices ever designed by developmental experts and you want to take a day off to celebrate and make merry!?

Confused bunch of mudafuckers!

qtx:
Is this an election or a fight against boko haram?

I doubt it's a fight against boko haram!

If boko haram was in the area, those soldiers wouldn't have been strutting confidently down the street with their chests puffed out! Rather they'd have ran to hide behind the nearest bush...dived into the nearest gutter...or ran full pelt towards the surrounding hills for protection!

dadebayo1:
Feeling so sad about the outcome of election in Osun today... The country is truly a ..... What did Trump call it again? Truth be told they have made a mess of governance in Nigeria... They cannot get away with what they have just done....


The joint press conference is currently taking place....

Bros, they're getting away with it as we speak!

It's the docile nature of the Nigerian electorate that's giving them the liver to be even more brazen with every subsequent election, and this brazenness will culminate in the 2019 presidential elections!

Antipob777:
Wike harassed and intimidated a sitting governor Amaechi, used the backing of GEJ, PEJ, INEC, security forces and cultist to defeat Anarchist in 2015, Ipobs hailed him and)PDP never knew a day will come for them to reap what they sowed.

Shame on PDP and Ipobs

You fools will always blame IPOB for every misfortune you face in life! What has IPOB got to do with any of the rubbish you posted up there? Or you feel everyone against your cursed and satanic gathering called APC must not only be Igbo, but an IPOB member as well!

For you information, IPOB has given up on Nigeria and all that goes with it...and that includes the laughable charade you people call elections!

Ndi ara!

sexiestharam:
I don't understand Bill's sentence. What is 3 to 10 years? why is the sentence not fully defined.

B'cos they want to get him out at the earliest opportunity! You can bet he'll do 3 instead of 10 years.

rock003:
As usual, you always show the world how shamelessly narrow-minded you are.

Try and cut him some slack...he's paranoid!

Buhari winning all the bad record in the world
Shame

Hehehehehe

Dude is on a roll!

Anyone know the criteria used in judging which state is 'peaceful' and which is not?

Notice how they slipped in a Igbo mans name into the report to make it look innocent and above board?

Ndigbo, if you don't know the sneaky media war going on to discredit you and your region, and place certain other regions above yours then you really deserve all the nonsense happening to you in this country! This so called 'report' will now be presented to the rest of the world with a smug look while telling them to 'come and invest in our own region as it's the most 'peaceful' in Nigeria'!

Asquare84:
The question I ask why all this beautiful scenery in Enugu is not replicated in nsukka

If Nsukka had received half the attention and investments from the fed' gov't that other university towns like Zaria received, i'm sure it would look much better today. Though Ugwuanyi is trying....he's spruced the town up a bit with rehabilitated roads and street lights.

NegroArea:
Enugu may actually be the greenest city in Igboland.

Not maybe....it is! With Owerri coming a distant second!

bantudra:
its better you let that old eastern region stuff rest.....the old eastern region was not all igbos....

its better you let the matter rest or face trouble today........

dokubo is a mix of ijaw and igbo....its better you only concentrate on only igbo speaking igbos.....

i dont speak igbo like most of the south south....what you are trying is dangerous.....

it makes no sense to separate nigeria today.....

Hehehehe

See desperation....see shamelessness!

naijaking1:
Buhari council of thieves!

Aunty Kemi would be sat in London reading this on her IPAD, and thanking her lucky stars she doesn't have to deal with this rancorous lot anymore!

bantudra:
its better you people let the south south out of this biafra matter or else the next war will start from the delta.....

Dude, you've still got your mind stuck in the 60s!

You actually think if the ethnic groups in the area that formed the old eastern and midwestern regions want to opt out of Nigeria, that there's anything you can do about it....besides grovelling that is!? What's saving you now is that it's mainly an Igbo thing...you know this and this is why you're desperate the ethnicities in the regions concerned don't catch the secession bug as well! Anyone can notice this from the way you get worried and agitated when the Niger Delta or so called 'south-south' is linked to the agitation.

Just know that the world and socio-political dynamics at play today are much different from what obtained in 1966/67!

bantudra:
stfu...if it was not an igbo guy that i promised to dont abuse una no more,i would still be abusin una till today....

and i can realy go haywire with abuses....

Bring it on arsewipe!

Karlovich:
I hope his skull will still be intact when he is found, Yoruba people please have mercy on this young boy

5pm at busy Ogba? I doubt it has anything to do with ritualists or abductors, since he's a big lad and must know the area. If his phone is switched off, it just makes the mystery all the more puzzling!

Hope he hasn't ran off with the money...though being a only child, i doubt he'd be heartless enough to do that to his mum.

If i could take Alaigbo out of Nigeria, finding qualified and passionate persons to govern us wouldn't be a problem. We've got a rich pool of talent to pick from: Aunty Ngozi....Soludo.....Muoghalu....the list is endless!
