Asaba is growing, but still has a long way to go. The government need to speed up development to meet up or even surpass cities like Port Harcourt and Uyo in same region. Those 2 cities for now, make Asaba look meh😕

Beautiful coverage, I pity Anambra state Govt who doesn't bother to expand the the major markets out of town down to like Ozubulu town border with Okija town so that about 6 town's around Ozubulu will develop as fast as possible, town's like Ukpor, Ogbaru, Ihembosi, Oraifite, Okija and Nnewi town will be develop, I am not happy the way most of our people are investing in another state when we have alot of undeveloped land close to Onitsha..am angry

[@mpaokorie]

Thanks for ur insight. I, also had written earlier that those market has exceeded their importance and should now be relocated. Anambra/Abia Gov. now have the opportunity to very well plan a new area and have those markets moved so as to help with development. Thats why our city centers are always filled with dirt. Now compare Asaba road orderliness with that of YangaLife recent Anambra videos (very dirty)

[@YangaLife]

You have a good point. The government is doing that already by shifting building materials market to Ogidi, shoe site to Nkwelle Ezunaka, etc. But you are advocating moving the markets farther than that.

[@YangaLife]

During one of our investigations based on viewers assessment that Onitsha is littered more than the other states mentioned. So we decided to research to know why. One of our discoveries is that Onitsha is densely populated and visitors too compounded the issues to generate more wastes. So in other to control the wastes, the government needs to budget more funds and more sophisticated way of control.

[@mpaokorie]

@@stevestyve1 I didn't mention Warri, rather i did with Asaba which was compared with our city centers. All Alaigbo states need is a merciless Governments that will redevelop/reconstruct the cities and its environ just like Lagos Gov did. Anambra like to build so close to the gutters/roads without provision for pedestrian, likewise Abia, so countless buildings will surely make way if truly we want to put our cities among to cities in NG like; Lagos, PH, Kano, Kaduna, Abuja.

Delta state lack factories and industries to engage the youth. The Warri seaport is not working. Youth unemployment is so massive. If you are looking for job Delta state is not the environment to come and start to scout for jobs. The politicians are so corrupt that they have a misplaced priorities coupled with massive corruption. Warri, Effurun, Sapele, Ughelli, Obiaruku, Patani, Burutu, Bomadi, Koko, Eku etc It is just poverty and misery. Previous governors of the state especially Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan and the current out going governor Senator Dr. Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa did so badly that the states has nothing to show for the huge crude oil money it receives from the federation account. THERE IS HARDSHIP IN DELTA STATE DUE TO CORRUPTION BY THE POLITICAL CLASS IN DELTA STATE. They can not invest in state owned electricity power, support mechanised farming, etc We do not even know where the money is going in Delta state. But we know the politicians are feasting on it and building personal riches for themselves, their family members, friends and political cronies.

This is a heart felt write up. But it is not enough to hear from one side of the story and unfortunately no one present to talk for the government side.

[@gerardonochie3408]

TRUE but yet I know many people moving there. What are they seeing you are not. Granted they have some money but a guy who spent 10 years in Lagos has made millions in Ahaba in 3 years he could not even make 10% of that in Lagos. So in life it depends on what your ambition is. Do you think Lagos/Abuja etc pay more to the vast majority of their workers?? Think again.

[@ikemmanuel7859]

So true. This Delta collect the highest monthly allocation and oil derivative available to them for decades. Honestly an oil city should be looking like Sandton. Unfortunately the people love and praise their oppressor.

You call that clearly visible eyesore of a 'city' shown in this video "the jewel of Niger"? Our standards in Nigeria are low, abysmally low. There is not a thing shown in this video that warrants describing Asaba as a jewel. It is a dump! The capital city of a state that's supposedly one of Nigeria's richest is a dump, unremarkable dump of a place. That's what you get when people persist in electing misfits and criminals as governors and then do KZbin videos to glamourize and celebrate the staggering failure of leadership that is the inevitable consequences of the choices they made. The rot in Asaba goes all the way back to the ex-convict governor, Ibori down to the current misfit, Okowa. Delta State is jinxed with the worst type of leadership. Put Asaba side-by-side with Uyo in Akwa Ibom, you would begin to understand what an unmitigated disaster/failure Delta State is. As a KZbinr, stop celebrating failure, just stop!

Normal human beings don't do that.
