I don't know why we like to build housing estates in Nigeria with no roads or infrastructure!!! Dirt roads everywhere and no drainage.

The first thing to do in anew layout is to do the road and drainage infrastructure, but here in Nigeria we always leave that for last and start managing! Soon, this estate will be experiencing flood and it's only at that point will people be looking for water channels.

Also I can't understand why houses can't be in straight line. This is a brand new area with no impediment, yet plots and houses are already haphazard.

guess Peter Obi did it in Agulu and Ngige did it in Alor. Nonsense and ingredients. Eastern Palm University Ogboko which is Rochas Hometown is the best structured University in the entire Southeast and probably South-south.

Useless hopeless old man, I don't know when Anambra will stop haunting you bastard. Eastern palm university is the best in Imo state and not SE, because IMSU is a poultry farm.

100Caliber:
who said it's photoshop? Clowns like you most likely don't live in Nigeria or you live in Lagos and abuja and I can bet my left balls you have never stepped foot in any of these places you posted . you just looked on google and saw a few pics and Gbam created a thread. You even posted the specialist hospital located at Uyo in your pics of Ikot ekpene. you posted the same location 11 times from different angles and call it Ikot ekpene. Posted aerial view of akwa ibom polytechnic and call it ikot ekpene . Posted Calabar Efik foods and call it Ikot ekpene.

which one is Calabar Efik foods explain

nsilordgmail:
Forget this filtered pictures, ikot ekpene is still a village. To worsen it all the number of okada riders there are just too much

The Okada enh... Story for another day
But a nice place generally. Been there several times when I was still based in Nigeria

doctore212:
How much Oloshos dey charge there for TDB because that's a major factor

Ilaumoh:
Ikot Ekpene Township stadium... Temporary home of vandrezzer FC

Won't be for too long. Already Vandrezzer FC has a site for their stadium and football academy.

edoairways:
That is because the media team from that state spend less in publicizing it. Calabar is well known by many thanks to Donald Duke

very true

Remembere reading about Ikot-epene in my primary school macmillian textbook. I used to have cold spine and had always anticipated to travel there some day.

Jaghut:
Nice town and quite clean too. My advice to would-be tourists: take extra care of your head when visiting in those parts

Annang people are serious cannibals

This is so wrong... Stop stereotyping people Pls
... They have a lot of Igbos living there ok

beautiful city Ilaumoh how much does your state govt pay Corps members(State alawee)

Akwa Ibom ayaya!
Ikot Ekpene has been a city on the rise, with good infrastructures springing up here and there. Hopefully Industrial development would follow.

TheGiftedOne:
Forget Ikot-Ekene, Akwa Ibom as a whole is lovely.
From the beautiful landscape to their oil deposits.
From their variety of delicacies to their hospitality and tourism industry.
This state is bae.

The capital city boasts of the best stadium in the country, world class mall, main library e t.c.


My dream City to live in in this declining country. I love AKIBM .

Apart from hospitality, you're correct. Akwaibom people are not hospitable at all. That's why people prefer Calabar and Cross-river as a whole.

Watch the aerial video footage of ikot Ekpene before you argue.

If you are young an just starting life and looking for a place with good roads, good schools, low crime rate, affordable city and a perfect place to raise kids,
Look no further Ikot Ekpene is the place for you. Its 15mins. From Uyo Akwa ibom state capital with well articulated road networks that will mesmerize you.
Its 70mins from Victor attah international airport.
And very close to Aba and umuahia though the road to aba and umuahia are terrible.

Eyeneka, you correct.

This people and bragging . Someone should tell them to put more effect in changing their accent it really breaks my heart when they open their mouth to speak .

Nice one.. I like Ikot - Ikpene

ucheuzor1:
My City. I love ikot ekpene alot. Served there in 2018. So caring and loving. I also missed my bannys there

lol, you go don lash Dem tire.

obynzo:


Seriously Lekki more beautiful than Ikot Ekpene!!!!!!!!! Bros Lagos is so overrated nothing fantastic about it. If you say Abuja i would agree but not anywhere in Lagos.

Then you’ve not been to Lekki before. I don’t know whether to call this your post stupidity or what?

lordaltruist:
I have to confess; this city is the most underrated in Nigeria.
This is a city you can compare with the likes of Asaba, Eleme and even some parts of Lagos and Abuja and yet nobody is talking about it.
Op do justice to this thread by giving us more view of Ik, cause I know the place very well and you are not doing enough justice to it.
Guys truth is Ik (Ikot Ekpene) is even competing with the state capital for economic viability and is giving Uyo a very tough competition when it comes to tourism most especially during the festive season due to the fact that things are very cheap and it has more entrepreneurs competing for glory, it makes room for greater development.
This city is top notch for flexing, business, accommodation, education and entrepreneurship.

lol, how many businesses dey boom there and what's the purchasing power of the common man there ?

I no say hotel biz go boom there based on say we to like fucc.fucc.

These are the issues.

It's a lovely city.

There are lots of fine girls there too

chukwuibuipob:
I must explore this state soon Lefulefu,get ready,we are traveling soon to discover em

You are welcome in advance

Iscoalarcon:
beautiful city
Ilaumoh how much does your state govt pay Corps members(State alawee)

From what I heard Akwa ibom is the 3rd most preferred state in Nigeria for corps members

OKorowanta:
You just have to love Godswill Akpabio..if not for anything his love for developmental projects..
He will never be forgotten in the history of Akwaibom.

Yes, love him for looting the state.

ike95:
no be beauty we go chop now business area we want

Is the commercial hub of Akwa Ibom.. Close proximity to aba

Rugaria:
This is what Rochas was not able to do in Orlu for 8 solid years... Busy shouting "my people my people" while others were busy working..

Stop talking nonsense!

Are you saying una no get any statue in the 8 solid years?

nextstep:
I need to visit this Ikot-Ekpene... I've heard so much about it... OP it looks nice, but how is night life? Comparing it with other small cities like Asaba?

Great bro

uboma:
I will visit during my next holiday.

It is a beautiful city.

You are welcome in advance

Telelimit:
Obviously he doesn't know, what's saying because right thinking person can compare Duke to Akpabio and Cross River to Akwa ibom even in the dream world

100Caliber:
Not holding brief for any politicians ,but was Rochas allocation the same as Akpabio/Akwa ibom? Some of you do not think before you comment.

Have you been to Orlu? Is Imo state not getting more allocation than Ebony State? Nobody has defended Rochas on this forum more than me. I knew him personally years before he became governor! I'm just telling you that he ran one of the most chaotic governments in the history of imo state. No debates about his good intentions but he was all over the place with all sorts either substandard or uncompleted projects. For 8 years! Go to Orlu and see..

If this is how it look like in entirety, probably yes
