Awkunanaw Enugu

Ebony paint road

Garriki Awkunanaw Enugu, developing very terrible potholes.

Front of Royal palace hotels Awkunanaw, Enugu

One day road, filling up with houses and people. .....

10 years ago, there were no houses here, nothing, zero.

I refused to buy a plot here for N300k then and today I feel like I made a mistake

One Day road again.

More of One Day road, new houses everywhere. ....

Abonyi lane, One day area Enugu.

That shiny building you see up there, used to be called Joe Continental Hotels back in the days.

Anyone here old enough to remember the olden days gossips about Joe continental and One Day international hotels?

Front of Awkunanaw girls. .....

Approaching Mayor bus stop, and you can see the Mayor Market,

Umuchu street, Idaw river layout Enugu. The street here is so bad that I was ashamed to take this pictures

Chai, I would have stopped over for one bottle of something

Lets continue. ......

New projects done, never announced, never commissioned, no media frenzy, no hype, just results

Edinburgh road junction of Agbani road Enugu.

Over the new bridge

Dive right and enter the starting point of Ogui road.

Please @ spyder 880 or anyone; please refer me to the page where the pictures of my great alma-mater,Federal Government College Enugu was posted..i.e if it has being posted.I'm not from Enugu,i'm a Deltan now abroad..I've not had the opportunity of visiting my great alma-mater since i finished there 16 years ago.But i have being flipping through the pages of this thread with so much anticipation hoping to see pictures of my great alma-mater but i have not.I'm kind of exhausted..Lol.

But i recall with so much nostalgia when i see pictures of Okpara Avenue,Independence Layout and some many other roads and landmarks i come across whenever we drive pass on my way to school at the beginning of the term and at the end of the term because i was a boarder then.And i can never forget the day i stopped by at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium with my late dad who happened to be a devoted Rangers fan to see a match played out between Rangers and 3sc on my way home to Asaba Delta state.Little did i know that we were there on special invitation by Ndubuisi Ndah famously called 'Skippo' who was then the captain of the Rangers side. Ndubuisi Ndah happens to be a renowned Asaba son,and on that special occasion,he was happy to have us.What a memory that was for me a little boy then.

It is important i state here also that i am currently engaged to an Enugu indigene ..Maybe it is as a result of the love i have for the place.She resides in Trans-Ekulu so hopefully we will be in Enugu this Christmas holidays.I'm looking forward to it and hoping i enjoy my stay there when i return to the land of my great alma-mater.FGCEnugu.

I hope all these new areas are being planned and surveyed well (with provision of underground sewage/drainage and electricity/cabling) before plots are allocated!

When new areas are mapped out for development in places like Abuja, a lot of preliminary works are undertaken before houses are built!

not trying to defend enugu here but your last paragragh is not really true.

I hope they aren't planning to create a sharp diversion at the highlighted part of the road, in the picture below...

This is where Nightshift fills the gap And he has been missing in action, lately.

Oga Spyder,
Can you upload some of your pictures on the spot where they were taken in Enugu map on Google earth? The pictures of Enugu on Google earth are outdated and misleading.

Oga Centje, it appears like you have some know how with the Google earth maps. Can you help with the project of positively projecting Enugu to the world? Daalu.

You see what we were talking about the sand that settle at the side roads. They damage roads easily and it will cost virtually nothing to remove them on regular basis. i wonder what the local government is there for.
