Igwe35: See I think OP made a very unrealistic and needless comparison between Asaba and Benin. As you mentioned, I agree with you that OP must be a Benin man. Let's ask first when the two cities became state capitals and which one deserves to be better developed. Benin was the state capital of the midwest and old Bendel state which covered Asaba as a village until Edo was created out of Bendel state and Asaba made the state capital of the newly formed Delta state, not more than 30 years ago. Benin is a very historic city and it was not surprising that it became a state capital immediately at independence just like Lagos state. For me if OP needs to make a comparison it should be between Benin as capital of Edo state and Ikeja, the capital of Lagos state. Of course Ikeja is more developed than Benin. Asaba is a growing state capital. If not for the wickedness of the past governors since the days of Kefas, Asaba should have been much more developed than it is. The same goes for the foolish underdevelopment of Benin by past military governments and politicians. It is however refreshing to note that OP compares two cities and states with very rich culture and great traditional values. Benin has a huge influence, as I call it, on the traditional institutions of a lot of towns in Edo and Delta states. 3 Likes |

Chekwume16: "Glorified capital". That means your town or village in Delta state is a tiny hamlet with plenty of huts. Tell us which town in Delta state aside from Warri that is as developed or getting speedy development than Asaba. Even neighbouring towns are fast developing because Asaba is the state capital. As a state capital there is a huge concentration of developmental projects going on there. It will remain like that even after the Igbo speaking governor leaves. 1 Like |

Cantonese:but do you know state allocation also plays a big role in development??! Take cross river and akwa ibom for example, cross river was the most beautiful state and fastest developing state in Nigeria before their oil was ceded to akwa ibom, and now cross river is still where it is and it's growing slowly while akwa ibom is developing faster than any other states in nigeria. Same thing can be said about Edo state and Delta, do you know how much Delta State receives compared to Edo State? It's like 6x the amount Edo state receives 2 Likes |

Igwe35:Asaba for my delta state or which one are you talking about. Everything about delta state is a mess except the road sha. Don't compare that shithole to the ancient Benin city. Do you know that governor ifeanyi okwa has placed a curfew from 7pm- to 6am?...the funny thing is that all the foolish elites cannot even utter a single word to condemn the act as they are all illiterate literates who cannot differentiate themselves from mediocrity ![]() |
