[@youngman6981]

Onitsha, the city they gave our fathers £20 pounds to build. I'm really proud of my Igboness. That said, Onitsha really needs massive government intervention. Yes Onitsha has high and fine estates but it lacks virtually all the facilities that characterise modern cities. Government has to widen the roads, cover the open drainages, and add sidewalks to the roads. The city is in utter need of vegetation. If this is done, Onitsha will then take a modern look

[@kensburg2660]

You have just spoken my mind. High standard of regulation needs to be in place cos most of those buildings need to be refurbished and painted n white would be great idea, then plan it properly, widen the road n possibly make them one way roads but wide with beautiful side walks, road markings, road signs, green areas, trees, international standard of landscaping, interlocking n green areas to cover the red soil, standardized traffic light for all over the state roads, pedestrian crossings with proper signs, orderliness, then dredge the river niger especially the water front area of the whole city n construct beautiful water front just as they have in cape town with beautiful cafes, restaurants, pubs, bars etc, get rid of keke napeps, bikes, n introduce better city bus with proper management, possible transportation/metro line n Onitsha will be a very very beautiful city. Also same for all major cities in the State like Awka, Nnewi etc, a good metro to link/connect major cities n town in the State would help to modernize the State. I don’t know why we can’t be thinking how to modernize n develop up to international standard? Invest in education n healthcare facilities too 🤔🤔🤔

Thank you very much for this video. The topic about Onitsha City was very well researched. My mum used to tell me that when she was a young girl she used to go to Onitsha from the Mid-West for business and return back same day. As a child, I remember how plenty cars from the South-West used to drive through my village early in the morning and drive back in the evening to and from Onitsha for business. You have now made it a challenge for me to also visit that beautiful city one day. In addition to your report about the old way of water supply by the government, sadly that, that problem happened across most part of Nigeria. Water supply was once like that in the country. Where and when we got it wrong is hard to say today. You are personally playing your part by reporting and identifying problems that need solving. As your video about Onitsha showed, many of our problems today can be solved by us individuals and without waiting for the government. After all, the problems were caused by the governments.

Lifts should be compulsory for any building upto 4 floors and above. The State Housing Authority should step in to ensure basic amenities are provided. Create enough spaces for playgrounds, car parks, green fields, fountains etc. If the right steps are not taken now, the whole place will soon become urban slum, too congested, suffocating, and will be unsuitable for normal human beings to live in. Also, constant maintenance is key. I'm super proud of the efforts, the achievements and I will be extremely happy to see that they are truly modernized and sustained. The common man is doing his part, let the town planners come in and give support and guidance. Thank you

If there was no institutionalised endemic corruption in Nigeria(by some corrupt greedy, evil hearltess politicians), Nigeria would today be the richest and most industrialised advanced country in the world, with no single poor person. Nigeria, just like other African countries, is not poor, but poorly managed. It makes my heart to weep. While doing a research in Foreign Direct Investments in developing countries, I chose Nigeria as a case study. That was when I realised how rich Nigeria is: since the first production of oil in 1958 (when the first Nigerian crude oil was exported to Rotterdam, Holland) up until 2020, Nigerian government has earned more than 1.5 trillion US dollars in oil revenue alone) without revenue from Natural Gas). I am now doing research on energy security(resource wars). I encourage every Nigerian, and every African to read these two books; 1- Chapter 1-Nigeria: Political violence, governanance and corporate responsibility in a Petro-State, by Okey Ibeanu and Robin Luckham) in the book ”Oil Wars 2007, by Mary Kaldoe, Terry Lynn Karl & Yahia Said . 2-Rising Powers, Shrinking Planet.

@@ebohmedia2459 That's not the question. You must not attach a foreign city to everything beautiful in Africa. You're already doing a great work. But you just have to let Africa be Africa.

@@ebohmedia2459 The renaming u made together with your reply is the reason ,e.g, some African ladies bleach their skin, throw money away to buy artificial hair while other Africans prefer used items than new ones made in Africa. People and things in Africa are as better as anything anywhere. Please, is time to Celebrate Africa not colonizers.

Eboh I you so for this video pls would like you do other one connecting all the towns near onitsha like obosi ogidi Nkpor ogbaru nkwelle ezunanka,33, and other cities around onitsha

We need more of this documentary of people, culture, economy and society of South East Nigeria. I like the historical and ethnographic approach you adopted. As a suggestion for improvement, it would be good to next time interview some of the residents so that we can hear from the "horses mouth" their views of the city. Kudos 👍

Thanks for the suggestion, I appreciate it.
