hey, I lived in Mushin most of my life and I must admit Mushin and Oshodi is just disguting. I remember I used to cry when my mom wanted me to follow her to the market to go shopping.


@Bluenubian, where in Mushin did u live ?

What, no votes for Kano?  shocked Kano looked a hot, dirty mess of a pig pin when I visited that place. Not even its ancient city wall survived its seemingly limitless spread of utter degradation.  undecided As an foreign tourist to the ancient city, I was very disappointed in its appearance. What a waste of history.  angry

I've been to all three, and i would say inconclusively that the dirtiest is ABA!! Men, that place is unearthly. Filth as far as the eye can see. Inhumane!!
Re: Dirtiest City In Nigeria? by otokx(m): 11:39am On Feb 25, 2006
its very terrible in the dry season, but if u venture out there in the rainy season the smell will surely intoxicate you.
Re: Dirtiest City In Nigeria? by snowsdream(f): 12:29pm On Feb 25, 2006
cudos to ABA in terms of dirtiness they rule. Speaking from experience as in i have been there and i know. It is just the entrance to abia and there you know wat dirtiness is called take a trip to aba.
Re: Dirtiest City In Nigeria? by DarkNight1(m): 8:17am On Feb 26, 2006
Wow, funny thread.
I aint ever been to ABA, but if this many people say its that Bad, then God help it.

Re: Dirtiest City In Nigeria? by IBBFan(m): 12:31pm On Feb 26, 2006

Re: Dirtiest City In Nigeria? by snowsdream(f): 3:07pm On Feb 27, 2006

Re: Dirtiest City In Nigeria? by omon(m): 10:34pm On Feb 27, 2006
Hey guys, maybe Aba can make money on dirt-tourism. I am sure a lot of people will be happy to visit the dirtiest city in the world,
Re: Dirtiest City In Nigeria? by Kokscity(m): 10:43pm On Feb 27, 2006

Re: Dirtiest City In Nigeria? by ocho(f): 11:00pm On Feb 27, 2006
I haven't even been to any of the places on the poll so i can't vote but meeeen, this thread is funny lol and this ABA that everyone talks of is a must see o! How bad can it be people?lol If it isn't too much trouble to anyone, can i get some kind of idea on how much of a dirty city ABA is? lol lol I'd so love to see it for myself.
I was brought up in northern Nigeria and i'd say we have relatively clean cities there but then again,i can't be too sure because i haven't been around that much.

infact, u need to take a trip those cities. the last time i went to Aba was like 8 years ago, i can't imagine what it would look like now.
Re: Dirtiest City In Nigeria? by Kokscity(m): 12:02am On Feb 28, 2006
@ Ocho

I was in Aba in November 05. It was horrible,a total nightmare.From PH-ABA, right smack when you get into Aba is all green algae stagnant water with trash in it,dividing both sides of traffic. That goes for at least 3-8miles. Green Algae infected stagnant water, mixed with all sorts of trash, a very healthy place to breed mosquito and bacteria,and you see people using it as their outdoor toilet. Then the town does not have one good road, and all the gutters are clogged with piles of trash, that has been there for years. The city is a big market filled with trash. I do not understand how millions of people live in that filth. But i still think Onitsha will give Aba a run for it's money. I was in Onitsha about 9yrs ago and it was NASTY!
