Anambra in general is developing fast so also is Enugu. I pray there should be more competition between the zones instead of all these envy and back biting

There no elevator but water run up the entire building.

The most difficult thing to see in East is a house without borehole, virtually all the houses have borehole and water is connected to an overhead tank that supply to the entire building

Guy that's a lie. Water doesn't run upstairs as u said in Onitsha. u can hardly see an upstair dt have water running upstair. That's a minus in Onitsha I'm looking forward to b redressed. Anambra water board should start working forwards dt

Onitsha back then was a magnet for people from all over the Eastern Region and beyond! It was on an economic and social trajectory such that -but for the 1966 Nzeogwu coup and all that followed after it- it was well on course to becoming the New York of West Africa! If things had remained as they were back then, by now Onitsha would have had a thriving river (if not sea) port and an international airport to match!

I once visited a website (can't remember the name now) showing old pictures of Nigeria, and one picture showed a huge ship berthed at Onitsha port. This was before independence!

Having the nostagia of Onitsha, we called it Osha, in those days.
A yoruba boy that grew up in an Ibo land and knew no not his brethdren other than Hillary from Umuchu, Azubuike from Nkpor, Kehinde from Oshogbo etc. We are all one and no not discrimination.
Used to go to that market, Ose market.
That new cargo port was started since the eighties and still not completed. What a nation. I can almost see my house far behind the port, now replaced with a high rising. Behind the port is where we used to pick mangos and sometimes go down to the shallow part of river niger to swim.
Truely some part of me is no more.

All the houses have Their own water provision.
Bore holes are drilled in every house.
you are right no elevators.
A 3 bedroom flat costs between 200-250k.
doesn't make sense economically to install an elevator.
