We did not get to move around a lot in both states but from the few areas we touched ground, in my opinion, Akwa Ibom has well tarred roads and better infrastructure.
Thank you very much but I don't know why Calabar is living in past glory? the place can not be compared to Uyo now.

OP.. nice visit bhu wen nxt get someone that is staying here in calabar to be your tour guide. you visited absolutely nowhere and saw nothing in calabar..

e.g you see that marina resort baa, there's a slave trade museum closeby.. filled with very vital historical artifacts.. one of the best in the country.

would have taken you to Efé Ekpe on a Saturday, you'll see EKPE the main ancestral god of calabar as a masquerade displaying.. very interesting nd colorful..
would have given you one of my white chiftancy top and a wrapper so you can follow us and jolly with d Ekpe like u can see in d pic below.... however your gel would be behind probly with my gel, as women dont come close to it like u can see in d pic..

ull see atámbembem, its a masquerade too, taller Dan three story building, on display.. with white handkerchiefs hovering about it like drones without support whatsoever..


would've taken you to the akpabuyo pitbull dog fighting on a sunday, just like the Spanish bull fighting.. very interesting and full of suspense.. if u care we can hit a dogmeat joint grin very necessary; D

we would have sailed the marina sea with a speedboat... etc.. bro you missed.. a whole lot..

maybe holla me nxt time..
safe trip back tu lag bro..

Well for transportation
Air fare cost NGN20,500 per adult to CALABAR
Fare to the hotel from Calabar airport NGN2,000
Journey from Calabar to Uyo NGN2,100
Journey from Uyo to Eket: NGN1,500
Journey from Eket to Ibeno Beach: NGN600 to and fro.

I hope this is sufficient
You should have enter from Calabar to Eket direct instead of coming to Uyo and going back to Eket

Enjoy your vacation , endeavour to order for ekpang nkukwo, white soup and afang, also grilled catfish, Calabar is the home of soups, you can also take a boat ride on marina resort, friendly people, serene environment.

WTF is wrong with you. The phone is meant to be off in the plane. Do you realize how many people you put at risk just to do the video. STUPID

May God upgrade you from economy (where they tell people to off their phone) to first class where your phone can be on throughout the duration of the flight IJN

Now, repeat after me, God punish poverty.

Later in the Evening, we decided to move around. We visited the Cultural Centre which also housed the Spar Mall( will upload pictures later). We picked a few items at the mall. It was all a fun and amazing experience
From your post, you mean lagos to calabar journey lasted for just one hour? I'm amazed. My journey to calabar from lagos via peace mass transit bus lasted for a good 13 hours which cost me 5500 in 2013. So how much does Arik charges u?
