fried-rice:
Only Onitsha could boast of a concentration of tall residential buildings with most of them
barely 1.8 meters apart from each other. no other SE states has such concentration.

ilugunboy: I will give it to Onitsha....Aba is next but not as dense as Onitsha.

It all boils down to competition and the huge desire to make maximum economic gains from rent...

Nothing spectacular though

And by the way, the topic is misleading....not all part of South East...unless you are saying Onitsha is all that is to the whole of South East which is not true.

afam4eva:
The point is that in the south-east as a whole, people want to maximize profit, that's why they build storey buildings rather than bungalows. It's not just in Onitsha and Aba but in the south-east. But it's more pronounced in the commercial centers.

ilugunboy:

I've been to Abakaliki...Awka..even Enugu. If you add the high rise buildings in all these places, they don't even measure up to what is obtainable in Nnewi, not to to talk of Osha.

What am saying is the the town planning structure and layout of Onitsha is remarkably different from most other parts of the South East.

PROUD-IGBO:
Imagine Onitsha and Aba with a pristine road network!

And it would be a good thing if landlords could be forced to repaint their buildings every 5 to 7 years at least.

Abagworo:

When compared with say Ibadan, Abeokuta, Benin, Uyo, Calabar , Zaria, Jos etc.., you'll understand that places like Orlu, Nnewi, Abakaliki have higher buildings. What I however observe is that in those other places they seem to have few but more solid high buildings. In some cosmopolitan cities like Lagos, Port Harcourt and Kano, you'll find more 3 to 6 storey buildings in areas of high Igbo population. Sabon Gari in Kano and Diobu in Port Harcourt are examples.

mens dept: All the SE cities are nothing but crap, so Ndigbo with all the noise are on the same footing as the crap in the SW, Minority areas, and North.

musiwa7: 2 of the 4 pictures in front page are yorubaland.. the reason is it show information about yorubaland..

this is yorubaland

afam4eva:
We still don't have the ideal governors in Abia and Anambra else Aba and Onitsha would have been turned into something good. What those places need is just some cosmetics because some Infrastructure is already there.

AWKA_MADE_GUN:


Who told you that there is no ideal and good governance in Anambra state? Is it in your WAWA enugu state that there is ideal government? Stop being deceived by what your governor is doing because he hasn't even done 1/5th of roads done by Peter Obi state-wide.

I know you have not outlived your phobia for anything Anambra..? Well I will soon descend on you badly like Okija_juju did last time

kcswat: it baffles me how offenmmanus alwaY say SE is garbage whereas they haven"t bn there. a plot of land in onitsha city is more costly than a plot of land in oil city ph. a plot of land outside onitsha city center is equivalent to 15 plot of land inside ibadan city center. #FACT

What's your real username...don't be scared, i won't flog you.

AWKA_MADE_GUN:

Flog me? You won't even be able to stand before me and utter such rubbish unless I will mow you down for real..

This is my real ID. The truth is that you have to stop your bad belle..its weighing you really down.

CHESSBOARD:

Guys why all these, diff opinions does not mean we should engage in verbal war, Afam might not be talking of the present governor but all the past governors in line,.... Of course Abia governors till tisday are crooks and thieves, why would Aba be in the state it is now when it could generate income more than oil revenue. pls listen b4 u fight.

Abagworo:

I don't think Afam even wrote anything wrong. Why can't Peter Obi and Theodore Orji give Onitsha and Aba the kind of face lift we have in Owerri and Enugu? It is high time this chino11 and all his akas be warned to desist from creating divisions on sentimental grounds. Despite our differences, any Igbo man has rights to comment on another Igbo State. All Igbos are not proud of the state of our key cities and demand infrasructural revolution without sentiments. We don't need to relax because our cities are better than lower standard cities. We should aspire Hong Kong, London, Dubai, Cape town and at least Nigeria's Abuja and Lagos. Imagine if the roads constructed by Akpabio in Uyo were in Onitsha or Aba with the buildings repainted and well kept.

afam4eva:
Whenever people say Peter Obi is working, i wonder what they mean. As long as Onitsha and Nnewi are the way they are, the governor has done nothing.
