God bless you...am planning to go to Ntrefre Obulop island...I heard is very far[/

I know Ntafre, I have been there once but I can't remember anymore if its under Ibeno or Mbo LGA. But I remember the place was far, It took us hours before getting there. I will Check my archive if I can still found some pictures about the place.

Another island I will suggest for you is Umon Island (Biase LG) in Cross River state. Government can really make a lot of money from tourism in those area if properly developed.

Hunchogee:

Spot on.
But militant activists do not happen in Akwa Ibom cos we have lesser Greeks but open oceans here.
Where militancy operates is in Rivers, delta and Bayelsa not in Akwa Ibom sir

Akwa ibom creeks are very peaceful,(I can say this cause I have been to nearly all the creeks in the state) the only route I can say is a little bit volatile is oron to calabar. It was God that safe us from pirate the day I travel through that route.

Looking forward to see you

Exclusive: What people don't know or see in the Map....

Akwa Ibom State houses 38 Islands that are very still untapped or developed making the future of tourism more brighter for the state than ever...
Do you know that Ibeno L.G.A has 25 communities and all 22 are Island settlements that is not even much captured in the map..

Others are Mbo L.G.A with 7 Island communities while Eastern Obolo L.G.A has 9 island communities ..
Thus making Akwa Abasi Ibom state the only state with 38 island settlements in Nigeria.

Akwa Ibom currently has the longest seaband or coastal line in west Africa making it tourism heaven just like the river Nile in Egypt....with a whopping 2410 km2 coastal line, ibeno alone has 1200km2 while others is shared among Mbo, Easyern Obolo, Ikot Abasi etc

Let talk briefly about Ibeno L.G.A, Ibeno is bordering at the east flank by Mbo LGA, at the west flank by Eastern Obolo by north by Eket and by the south by the Atlantic Ocean.
Ibeno people are the extracted people from Andoni in River state & Eastern Obolo people inwhich they share the same culture and traditions with Andoni people of river state...
Bonny Island became popular becos of industrial present in that island ... leaving the 38 island settlement in Akwa Ibom state unknown and untapped ...

When I went on a tour to those islands in Ibeno..
Shockingly they were an island you travel for 1 full day from the jetty in Iwou-Achang in Ibeno to Utana obulop island.
This island took us 23hours with a speed flying boat engine fitted with two 75 horsepower engines to be able to get to that Island of Utana Obolop Island.

The interesting part was I saw huge population of people and majority were people from other countries like Satomi and Principe, Gabon , Togo and even people from Edo state and I was amazed about the untapped island .
Shocking they was no federal and state governments present in those islands ... No nigerians schools, hospital, police stations etc meaning the only thing that links that island to Akwa Ibom state and Nigeria is that the chiefs in this islands are from Ibeno period.
Is saddened how this guys are abandoned by both the state and federal government letting them to live and do thier business alone with steady international travels from one countries to the other without visa or etc.
Akwa Ibom state might not be big in size in the Nigeria map but the state is deep in realiality.

This island house up to 80 thousand inhabitants of various countries ... Jesus my lord I felt like crying while writing this piece. The primary occupation there is fishing and once in a while some foreign fishing companies and NGOs drop food & medical aids in the island in exchange of sea food....
If this Islands are well tapped it will make Akwa Ibom look like Miami of USA, or the Bahamas.

Please I used this opportunity to ask all well meaning Nigerians to go and invest and our journalist not to only covers cities and politics but go inside this islands and bring them to limelight.....
Am just so angry I won't be surprised we losing some of these islands in the future to foreign Governments like we did to bakassi..
Ibeno is gotten from the word Obolo which means white sand beach.
Akwa Ibom alone houses 80 thousand Ghanaian living in both Ibeno and Mbo L.G.A. in short there is a place in Iwouachang in Ibeno called Ghana town.

Nigerians need to know this.

are or real?

ifiokjohn:
Yes I agree bro.
We have to create something like that by using both Fb, Twitter Instagram, Every social media options available to us.
Today Rwanda have had people and more people developing it cause of their advertisement of the place
I was watching a European match once and I saw in that their advertisement board, "Visit Rwanda , Explore Rwanda, Invest in Rwanda" and I was like this guys are smart, if only Nigeria could do like that and now over the years it has paid off.
Let's do that for our own state. Bro any time you do have the chance, I'm always here, just mention me and I will contribute my own quota

We can do it together

Can this blogger contact me here. i dont want to spend the next one million naira abroad bringing you every thing every other blogger has done.

Hunchogee:

Lol, why do you think so?

There is no evidence that we are making progress 106 yeARS post-almagamation. We have comedians and unarmed criminals running our affairs. So how is it an exciting prospect to be identified as a Nigerian?

A starting point is for a clamour for a connecting bridge\s to the island\s.....Not only in Akwa Ibom State but others too, I know Lagos have some too eg Sagbokoji etc. State governments should see how they can build these bridges to make those islands accessible and an income generating venture via tourism. These Akwa Ibom islands might even have oil if government check well.....Question: Any affordable hostel, hotel there? Who organizes people for trips there? Can one just book the lodges and arrive there?
