Akwa IBom

clean, green state

i love my State

only Uyo I guess. A state with poor economic activities.

I am from Delta state but have been to almost all the SS states...in terms of wide infrastructural development, Delta state beat dem hands down,
aside from Asaba the state capital,we have other towns which are warri,sapele,kwale,abraka,agbor,ughelli,Ogwashi uku,obiaruku,oleh,ozoro.

Cross river state should be the least,
l live in calabar and l can tell you how it is

No reasonable business there

high rate of crime especially cultism, robbery and kidnapping

high level of diabolic activities which includes ritual killing

calabar is very dirty especially calabar south

high rate of teenage pregnancy, resulting to abandoned and homeless children littering the streets of calabar, many of them are deep into crimes and committing all kinds of immortality, the other day....l saw a girl and a boy at the age of 10 and 11 making out in public,the girl will eventually get pregnant, give birth and the cycle continues

calabar has many poor,uncompleted ,ugly looking and old buildings around.

No job in calabar, if you eventually venture into business,the high rate of govt tax will chase you out of business

No light,you can never see light in calabar

And the list goes on and on....smmh...nothing to write home about.

simplemach:
And this is what my dear country is deliberating now, when similar countries else where are competing with the most recent technologies in development.
We are using coal tarred roads now and some concrete fly overs to determine which state is more developed.

chai, am ashamed.

First, I'll say Rivers is no.1....we all know why.
I've been to all South South states and I'm from the South South. Delta and bayelsa will come last. Those states don't have infrastructure to match the allocations they get. Edo which many are down playing is actually far better in terms of development. Edo is making huge IGR as a gateway state and also in solid minerals and mining. Akwa ibom can boast of a lot of investments apart from oil and they haven't fully taken advantage of those investments yet. Cross river is another state that hasn't been able to sustain the dreams of Donald duke. Tinapa is a shadow of itself and it seems the light now ends only in Calabar. Bayelsa is just a disappointment despite all the funds going there. Bayelsa should be the Abu Dhabi of the South South but they care less.

So,
Rivers
Akwa Ibom
Edo-Cross river (tie)
Delta
Bayelsa

udeh3:
My opinion though. I've lived in most of the state's on that list, though I'm from Delta State.

River State is over-hyped. Apart from Portharcourt, where else is developed? To me, Delta State is the most visibly most developed state in SS. Delta State can boost of more than 5 township stadiums, upto 2 airports and very good road network and great transport system. All the towns or major towns in Delta State can boast of A Stadium and other great infrastructures which a city can have. Development is not population.

Delta State also boost of great cities and towns apart from Warri and Asaba. Delta State comprises of great cities like Sapele, Oghara, Agbor, Ughelli, Igbuzor, Ozoro, Oleh, Escavos, etc. These places are also developed. Development is not a centred system, it's supposed to be evenly. No part of SS has a massively spread development like Delta State. One might not noticed from the highways when travelling because most of the cities and town are inside

To me, Delta State should take the first position based on my exposure to these states. Since last week, I've been in Edo State.

All SS states still needs to do more

Bros....u open eye call Oleh city. The one wen pain me pass na Oghara wen u call city...bros memera ooo....shuo
e b like sat dem dy play kpangolo for ur head ooo

You really hate calabar sha but am sure you have not visited akamkpa town,ugep ikom,obudu,ogoja.visit most parts of calabar municipality.all those vices you noticed in calabar are also in every state in nigeria including yours.

i have not been to Akwa Ibom and Cross Rivers.... so i will give you my take on the other four.

Rivers
Delta
Edo
Bayelsa.

The only reason i choose delta before Edo is because of how she has spread development across most of the LG Head quaters. That state is suppose to to be ahead of many states considering the billions she recieves and her huge population but that state is a very wasteful state thanks to bad governance...

If you guys like be from the most developed state or underdeveloped state, if youre broke , youre broke everywhere

In terms of Social Amenities and Infrastructural Development;
1. Akwa Ibom
2. Rivers
3. Delta
4. Cross River
5. Edo
6. Bayelsa

Is Akwa Ibom more develop than cross Rivers?

He used the word "Personally". Your own ranking may be different from his.

UDIOK:
Bros he talk about development here.....if you say it is only good roads that makes a development seems you have to go read the headings again this time slowly......when we talk about development, the roads you mention is just an entity within an Infrastructure, but it doesn't end there,Agreed with u industrial wise but you cant tell me that Rivers is ahead of Akwa Ibom in terms of Academic attainment, Industrious attributes, Human capacity building, Hospitality, cuisines, Cultural wise, Crime rate, i can go on and on okay....Akwa Ibom is far ahead of Rivers in terms of Development

Rivers development has been a going concern since its creation while that of akwa ibom started during akpabio's tenure which is mostly centred on roads and huge elephant projects.academically,rivers has more educational establishments than your state thats why you see more akwa ibomites schooling in rivers and not the reverse.amechi invested heavily and built world class schools even in remote villages which cant be found in aks.rivers has more employment opportunities by far and more non indigenous population which point to massive development.rivers has two seaports while akwa ibom is struggling to have one.rivers has more developed towns apart from ph like bonny,opobo,eleme,sakpenwa,bori,omagwa,elele,omoku,oyigbo,okrika etc while aks has just ikot ekpene,eket,abak,oron etc which are not as developed as that of rivers.the development of ph has spread to seversl nearby lgas while some parts of uyo are still crawling.
In human capacity development,you can see that most rivers people are based in rivers and are not very ubiquitous in other places while aks people can be found in rivers,cross river,edo,lagos,abia in large numbers which means one state is getting it right than the other.the is more crime and social vices in rivers because of its development.the most developed areas usually have such social malaise(check lagos).

l have been to some of the places you mentioned above and its still the same story.
l have lived here long enough to know,l live around marine, its still the same story.. nothing dey calabar... its empty....uyo is more developed then calabar.
Calabar is living in its past glory

. Development of a state is not all about state capital only. But other towns & factors like social amenities are considered for the rating. The question is How well are other towns besides the state capital?

As a matter of fact on ground, besides Uyo the state Capital, AKS has other few Vibrant towns with better infrastructures, commercial banks, Schools &economic viability, proximity to Uyo viz Eket, Ikot Ekpene, Oron Town, Abak, Ikot Abasi, etc, you can reside in any of these towns comfortably without missing Uyo.

CRS has a couple of towns besides Calabar the most developed, Ikom, Ugep, Ogoja, the rest is rural settings.

Rivers is 1 city state, Port Harourt, though Obigbo &Eleme forms part of PH. Bonny Island, Bori, Omoku Town are other places too.

Even that last position given to bayelsa they don't deserve it,nothing dey this place,one road in one road out,bayelsa has not even started with the D of development not to talk of even taking last position

no wonder they are crying to be indigines of other states !

Funnicator:
Akwa Ibom only got Beautiful roads.

Maybe because 91percent roads were constructed by Julius Berger, except inner city roads, or streets.

Nothing in Uyo except roads, no jobs or economic activities. Maybe a couple of nice hotels, an airport and countless keke on the streets + many betshops.

Uyo is just roads. Fine ones! Nothing else spectacular

So very true man. I live in Uyo and countless kekes and bet 9ja shops.

engrchykae:
most of the southsouth states if not all have the same problem of developing only the capital city.
Cross River only have Calabar to brag with,Rivers only have Port Harcourt and Bayelsa only have Yenegoa and Delta only have Asaba to brag with.
If you are in Anambra state,Awka is bubbling as well as Nnewi,Onitsha and ihiala.
But the southsouth states concentrate everything in the capital cities which is very bad

Warri and Sapele Ogwashi and Lemme Add Agbor is also bubbling at Delta na. #watayusaying self.

mteeew, so? mke we cook beans

Heh heh, sounds just like Asaba... except in addition we have countless hotels, oloshos, and churches.

you rushed to quote me when you didn't think about cross rivers,rivers,bayelsa and akwa ibom.
So what are you saying.

senatordave1:

As a result of infrastructural development carried out by akpabio,akwa ibom has overtaken cross river.cross river is just about calabar,ikom and ogoja.owerri has even overtaken calabar as well as asaba.

which delta you dey talk of, the one wey be my state abi another one? nothing in delta ! we just hve thief thief politicians and militants

edoman2016:
Among the states in south-south region in Nigeria, how will you rank them according to their level of infrastructural development and economy?

Personally, I will rank the best developed states in South South region accordingly.

1. Rivers state
2. Akwa Ibom.
3. Cross Rivers.
4. Edo state
5. Delta. state
6. Finally, Bayelsa state.

inshort u have ranked it correctly.

Edo state under Obaseki will soon move up in the list.Cross river is just there because of Calabar and nothing much.

Why. Bayelsa which is the smallest State in Nigeria is not even number 3? Jonathan has not try at all.

Which kind development are you people talking about, when there is no electricity 24/7 in the richest oil producing states of nigeria ?

Do you even know what development means?

And they be arguing sef. Wonda shall neva end

The truth is that delta state used to be the most developed state in the region until shell left the state and the economy collapsed with no good job which make all man begin to play merrybet to survive but delta is still better than edo, bayelsa and others. Only rivers state is better developed. Okowa is not doing anything, infact, the worst governor in history. If shell can come back, delta will rise again.

How could you have lived long enough in calabar when you said you were serving in the state? If you have gone to other places,you would have spotted some differences but you are holed up in calabar.moreover as a corper,its almost impossible to tour the whole state.finally,you claimed uyo is more developed than cali,how can? Apart from flyover,what else do they have? Do they have monorail,seaport,spar,clean streets,more banks,more tourist centres,free trade zone? Calabar is the 3rd city in the south south with the highest spread of development.almost all the entire calabar south and municipality is developed.but not everywhere in uyo is developed,only warri south lga is developed in warri,yenagoa is semi developed,asaba is coming up and is not even a local government of its own.only ph and benin beat cali in development spread.
