Mod, please un-ban this bestview ID. Thank you

Abia state nawaaoo. Well having traveled almost Igbo states, I still insist that abia state is the worst thing to happen to SE. Infact it is taking the shine off SE. You don't need to go far to find this truth. Just pass thru abia state, though the expressway is better than what you have inside but that will give you a clue that you have arrived into the most disorganized, filty region. With all manner of crime taking place, even kidnappers collect as low is 2k as ransom. I strongly believe that this so called executed projects are fake. The more you look

@OAM4J, pls un-ban (jbaur24) it has stayed for over 4 weeks without pardon. Thank you.

I'm from Ogwasiuku, in an unbiased analysis. I have virtually been to the state capitals in the SE, Enugu, Awka, Owerri, Umuahia, Abakaliki.

Of all the state capitals I have been to in the SE the least poorly developed Abakaliki and Umuahia, but Umuahia is number one in terms of being the worst state capital, because from what I have read and seen about the state is nothing to write home about.

Infact Abia remains the worst state in the SE with ill-state of Aba and its environs coupled with bad government of Orji family.

abouzaid:

^^^ guy if your girls are not being married by other igbos. It's because they have acquired a well deserved reputation as love peddlars not because the other igbos have ganged up against imo. even in anambra girls from onitsha are avoided like a plague because of their bad reputation, also igbos don't regard girls from cross river and akwa ibom as love peddlars. Don't start an online enemity between brothers        @fxtopedia  those boko haram and almajiris are the one feeding your over glorified lagos. Agriculture is best practised in the north and i encourage any body interested in large scale agriculture to come up here in the north

Please tell him the bitter truth. Am from Ogwasiuku, I have a friend from Anambra who once told me that immediately you say that you want to marry imo girl everybody in the family will frown at it. I think imo girls/guys has fundamental problem why other Igbo states and more especially Anambra people particular both their guys and girls does not marry from imo. Anambra prefers marrying among Anambrans and also marry from Delta because my fiance is from Anambra

Leading economic/commercial viable states: Lagos, Rivers, Anambra, Delta and Kano

abagoro:

Which Southeasten State is more secure than Imo? Imo is the best place to site a hotel in Nigeria. Pay a visit and see for yourself.

Sorry to disappoint you, Its a national and international knowledge that your Owerre is a no-go-area.  So stop deceiving yourself because people does not travel to your owerre for anything meaningful except for gang of prostitutes selling themselves 1naira due to bad market.



"Travel Warning
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE
Bureau of Consular Affairs


The U.S. Department of State warns U.S. citizens of the risks of travel to Nigeria, and continues to recommend U.S. citizens avoid all but essential travel to the Niger Delta states of Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Delta, and Rivers; the Southeastern states of Abia, Edo, Imo; the city of Jos in Plateau State, Bauchi and Borno States in the northeast; and the Gulf of Guinea because of the risks of kidnapping, robbery, and other armed attacks in these areas. Violent crime committed by individuals and gangs, as well as by persons wearing police and military uniforms, remains a problem throughout the country. This notice replaces the Travel Warning for Nigeria dated October 19, 2010, to update information on recent violent activity and crime in Nigeria."

I guess states as : Lagos, Rivers, Anambra, Delta must come into the equation. Add more viable states if you know any.

The most economically viable states in Nigeria that can guarantee investors return on investment:

olawalebab:

even with that, human, social, economic development, name them. Akure and Ilorin is one of the best in Nigeria

You are talking nonsense. If I have not been to Akure I won't be saying this. From Akure to Ondo town to Owo to Ore are all in shambles. Akure the state capital can boast of rocks all over the place but the town is nothing to write about, no social life, no hospitality, the roads are so narrow with shanties and muds houses all over the town. From Adesida to Ijomu to Oke Ijebu to Isolo to Ondo road are all shanties with its low population due zero economic activities. For all I care the town can easily compete with such state capitals as Ado Ekiti, Osogbo, Jalingo, etc.

olawalebab:

This poster just post for posting sake, for God sake, is kwara a state capital?, Ilorin is one of the neatest, developed state capital in Nigeria, likewise Akure, Imagine adding abeokuta to the list. which one is Ado Eketi? i no fit laff

We are not only talking about neatness here, overall development indices are considered.
This is Akure

Haribo:

@ Ohaneze from your response I can tell you must be from Anambra. No offense, I call it like I see it. I lived in Awka for some time so I know what I'm talking about OK?

And the point of this thread is not to compare my state with yours, its for people to state the worst ones they've visited. That's exactly what I did.

Oh you lived in Awka years back, does make any sense. Does anybody need to live in Umahia to know that the place is nothing but a mere glorify local council which only be compared to Ado-ekiti or osun

The following are the leading worst state capitals in Nigeria:

Umuahia
Osogbo
Ado Eketi
Lokoja
Abeokuta
Akure
Kwara

more are coming
