Yea Awka is a beautiful city

[@AnthonyIlogu]

I like that we still have lots of greenery in the city, I only hope it remains so in the future.

Awka is still developing, very soon it will turn to a great city

[@ndidiamakacordi2953]

I like the video. There is progress. More progress is coming. Anambra will do very very well.

[@desmondnedualaegbu5526]

Beautiful city. Awka is the fastest developing city in Nigeria aside Abuja. Owerri is a glorified rural area littered with dilapidated roads and filthy environment

[@Arusi--IKENGA-01]

You most suffer from extreme inferiority complex. Why do you feel the need to downgrade another IGBO city to feel comfortable about your Awka, you can Express your point about Awka but don't resort denigration of others. Comment like yours deranges our internal Politics as a People.

[@nwachinemere7759]

Unbelievable!! What I see here is one long tarred road but all the adjoining roads are not tarred. The number of untarred roads I saw on the video is mind blowing. It's something in the neighborhood of 90%. This is the same problem in all the Igbo cities filled with Onitsha style 3 and 4 story buildings but no BASIC infrastructure. It's shocking how Igbo governments failed to tax people and use the money to provide them BASIC infrastructure. The buildings in the city has no symmetry which means that it's all unplanned. What we have here is Igbo traders buying 100ft by 100ft plot of land and build whatever. Really a damn SHAME.

[@outravelandtour]

😄😄... Abeg leave Onitsha of of this... Tax people, the ones they have been taxing what have they done with it?.. As a capital city, Awka needs special attention especially in the area of roads... If government create the necessary enabling environment, individual will also contribute towards changing the face of the city.

[@zeetutors8795]

Obiano really fucked up. HIs one juob was just to uild road as the people develop the place. But he neglected it. Well to be fair with goverent, i think Awka is developing very fast and the governemnt is having hard time meeting up

Anambra was neglected for a very long time, that why the project is so big. Those governors tyat came before peter Obi didnt do anything. Peter Obi had so many road blocks in his administration, and he never borrowed and yet did some development. Apart from Obi, Soludo is doing good as well.

[@iamscottish5826]

I love this city but it still looks quite unplanned. It has a lot of potentials looking from above but need drastic infrastructure.

[@johnsonokono886]

Umuokpu is a village in Awka so it shouldn’t be described as an extension of Awka but part of Awka town and you didn’t pronounce it well. Rather Okpuno which a near by town to Awka is now developmentally part of Awka city. You video is nice but try to make more inquiries in your analysis

Its not pronounced Umuòkpu but Umuokpu. The middle 'o' is pronounced as "Owl" and not as you pronounce "on".

Nice and commendable video work. However, if the successive governors were not there serving and placing their Fulani slave master’s interest above their own people’s interests, Awka would have been a beautiful city to behold by now.

@@outravelandtour: Did I hear you say that the present gov. will do something different? I hear you. But he is even worse than his predecessors. Nearly one year is gone, while he is busy doing his Fulani slave master’s bidding by investing much of his energy and attention to fighting IPOB rather than concentrate on why he was elected as the governor of Anambra state. He has been using his security outfit to hunt down on Ndi Anambra youths, tagging them criminals, while absolving the killer Fulani terrorists both in our bushes and in Nigerian army who are killers of Ndi Anambra of any blemishes.
