ikwere militant: instead of akure i prefare owerri,aba or ogun.but wil vote ibadan anydy dy renbr to change their zincs I've been to Owerri and Aba but did not stay there so I can't make a valid/objective assessment. Talking about Akure, its an old city as well. Its one of the few planned places in Nigeria. I can confidently say that Akure is among the top 10 places in Nigeria with the best taxis, this is apart from the state owned transport service (taxis and city buses) Also, if there's no light in the whole of the country, Akure street lights are on 24/7. I don't know how they do it. Good road network, also. Akure too has relatively good nite life... |

Eze Promoe: Lagos and Abuja are not the only major cities. I agree with you. PH is a mega city like lagos and PH. Its obvious with the way major businesses are sited nationally. The only difference being that FG has expended more in developing Lagos and Abuja more than PH. Most comments here show the shallowness of its commentators. People just comment to show the cities they admire or have visited. They tend to spite knowledge and embrace mediocrity. Smh Topmost Nigerian cities are : Lagos, Abuja, Portharcourt, Kano, Ibadan and Enugu... A knock for the boys who mention agbor, calabar, uyo, benin city, gombe. You need to grow up or leave home... 1 Like |

okpara ugo:The bolded is very true and that is why Port-hacourt is the least planned of the 3 major cities. PH grew due to the oil and gas industry in that city and did not witness any deliberate attempt of development from the federal government like Lagos and especially Abuja. 1 Like 1 Share |

Pls stop being unneccessarily emotional & parochial ova straightforward issues!
