Oh great!

Nice to see that in Aba. grin

Strangely enough I least expected to see such in Aba. cool

I was thinking more like Owerri, Enugu etc.
Forget all the noise

No Yoruba non-capital city is more developed than Aba. None, not even a single one.

You are not getting the point.

Of course there is an open gutter culture across Nigeria which was inherited from British colonial mismanagement and substandard construction ethos, but some cities are doing more to move out of that primitive system to roads with sidewalks and covered drains which is the international standard for roads.

The southeast is lagging behind in adopting that modern convention.

We need to see cities like Onitsha, Awka etc, building roads with sidewalks and covered drains.

Those cities are already built up, but are just missing that final addition to make them world class and tourist-friendly.

The aforementioned aren't cities but glorified villages, ibadan is an eye sore with old dilapidated structures everywhere, ado Ekiti Is still an upcoming state capital but above all Abeokuta is the worst ....haven't seen a state capital as dirty and underdeveloped like that town, dapo abiodun is a total disaster

I haven’t seen even ONE ROAD in the southeast with covered drains and sidewalks.

They exist in Abuja, in Lagos, in Uyo, Calabar, Gombe, Kano and Kaduna.

I have even seen some in Benin.

But southeast?

Nothing.

Just open gutters everywhere.

If you are a pedestrian in the East, nobody cares where you walk.

If Ekpa is from Ebonyi, it must be something fishy going on, because we all know that Ebonyi is a place where people are cool, calm and collected, unlike the other Igbo states filled with troublemakers and miscreants.

Aba has the best underground drainage network in the East, similar to what you have in Port Harcourt. Enugu and Owerri have most beautiful roads but when it comes to underground drainage, give it to Aba

I must confess I haven’t been there. But I’ve heard some good things about the place.

They don’t even act as if they are in the Southeast, those Ebonyi people.

Or is their own version of Igbo different?

Ebonyi are less cannibalistic and more civilized than others. Prostitution is 95% unlike the other 4 states where it is 99.9%

That is why they are so disliked.

OP thank you for that observation. Though I am not a supporter of any violent struggle for Biafra but they actually have a valid grudge when it comes to road infrastructure compared to other regions especially the north.

State government will blame Federal Government , Federal government will also shift the blame. And years have gone bye. Nigeria truly needs to be restructured.

Rochas built roads with covered drains even though some of them have been uncovered ilduring the quest to discredit him but in Aba most major roads are with covered drainage and sidewalks be it Aba-Owerri road, Factory road, Eziukwu road or Asa road. Ikpeazu did it for most roads in his time even though Otti is back to open gutter. This photo is Eziukwu road in Aba.

These Awka roads are like Enugu and Abakaliki roads. They have open drainage after the sidewalks. Only Aba and Port Harcourt are Nigerian cities with most major roads covered with sidewalks. Uyo has open gutter

But you are also ''dying of hunger'' in other SE states, by your logic.

After all, more of your people there are fleeing to Lagos and Kano than Ebonyi indigenes.

What's with this ''estate'' stuff?

Are the estates not in Nigeria? I'm not differentiating between estate and non estate.

Most of the so-called estates don't even have sidewalks and covered drains, so it's not about estate or not. It's about the mindset.

Are we wiling to join the civilized world or are we not?

In Rwanda if you are a public official who builds a road without sidewalks for pedestrians, you will be jailed.

Exactly. Nigerians must understand that open gutters are unsightly, unhygienic, and backward.

Sure, it costs a bit more to build the proper way, but we just have to do it.

Does Rwanda have more money than even one state in Nigeria?

How can they do it so comfortably?

I think what we need is a national assembly bill making it mandatory for all roads in residential and business areas in the country to be provided with covered drainage and sidewalks.

Every state government will have to choose a number of streets to work on, and the next administration does the same, till all the streets are done.

It will seriously cut down having to use cars and transport.

You will be shocked at how far you will happily walk on a pavement dedicated for pedestrians.

You can walk 5 kilometres or more, easily without breaking sweat.
