JohnQueen:
I was on one of the Islands off Eastern Obolo in December 2015 and was wowed!

But then I felt sad almost immediately.

Why so?

I felt Akwa Ibom could be like Florida.

If only they could forget about crude oil for a second and focus on tourism, which is still an untapped/neglected source of revenue in this part of the world.

We shall get there sir. You can also help us secure an investor too

Chirowman:
Akwaibom is a tourist state just that they haven't developed it, I love the big fishes that's one of the things that takes me there. And food and drink is cheap too, on my next visit am going to tour all this islands.

You will be gladly welcome sir

castrokins:
OP, I Am From Ibesikpo Asutan. Would It Be Possible To Do Another Trip To These Islands For Proper Documentation? We'd Put Resources Together And Pic A Date. A Street/Documentary Photographer Will Join From Lagos, Himself An Akwa Ibomite Too.

Am in uyo, where in Ibesikpo are you?

engrjacuzzi:
really, then the next gulder ultimate search should definitely be held in AkwaAbasi-Ibom state. we have so many historical antecedents and blessed with natural resources.

The will be the second time sir

radiolover:


Akwa Ibom international airport, Uyo. You can use Ibom Air either from Lagos or Abuja straight to Uyo airport. From Uyo to there is less than 45 minutes drive.

Spot on sir

Janosky:


I can see here that it's possible to access Calabar from Ibeno through River Cross estuary connecting with the Atlantic ocean..
Really interesting !
Aqua Ibom and Cross River have beaches to support tourism industry just as Enugu,Benue ,Taraba, Adamawa and Northern parts of Cross River state has the scenic topography for tourism, if the Government is serious.
But maritime transport dey even dey function well for Naija?

Na why we no suppose wait for them oo

Belmot:
I was referring to the legit. ng maduekwe property in your search. those high rises are in banana island and not mabushi.

Ok

CaseSensitive:
Would love to visit Akwa Ibom some day. Hopefully soon

You are welcome already sir

Evaromantik:

Looks like am gonna sell one plot of land for tourism.

It is a render pix online used to express opinion .. ibeno means white sand beach so all their shoreline is white and yes you will see much more beautiful once than this
But find attachment of it

Malawian:
There is nothing special about Lagos. If the ports in the east is opened, these places could have been our "Lagos".

Sure

onyechez:

Don't mind that person, I don't know why many Nigerians especially on nairaland want someone to spoon feed them of information as if they're entitled to it.

Thanks dear for your matured response

Phyde:

Just carry your babe come relax here gisting while viewing the beautiful ocean. No crowd, no music noise like that of lagos beaches, just the sound of waves and trees are enough to chill the brain for great ideas about about a greater future. This is the kind of places I want to live nothing beats nature. God is really a perfect creator all things.

They are really great places sir. In short in the night you hear the birds singing and the ocean tide making loud noise in the night ...is truly a wonderful feelings bro

This state can become a self sufficient enclave together with Cross River

Honestly sir

Jdgaf026:

Akwa ibom is a very beautiful state, I have been to most of the island you mentioned. It saddens my heart seen those beautiful places untapped. We conducted a survey for federal ministry of water resources few years back in all the riverine area of Akwa ibom and Cross River. Those area are neglected by the government.

God richly bless you...Amen. but you first atleast say something na

daviesmania:
Ibeno and Eastern obolo are both Rivers state.. forget the fact that they're captured on akwa ibom state map.

In that case the need to change from Akwa Ibom to Republic of Island

From native name to.English name are you serious now.
Wait do you even know the meaning of Akwa..Abasi...Ibom . Let me help you its means Big ocean ok.
Ibeno means white sand beach....Utana means Island

RTSC:
Some people are deceiving themselves talking about tourism.

It is like you people underestimate the damage that the northern insecurity has done to our tourism Potentials.

It has completely obliterated it.

Forget tourism. The north has cost Nigeria that opportunity.
