Lol...the 2nd Niger bridge is the is where some of the criminals used to stay and they used to snatch phone or valuables from window. You are lucky though, sorry for the bad experience

[@joanb7180]

There’s no excuse for this incident. I’m grateful that you handled the situation with much wisdom and I pray for your protection and many blessings! Evil exists everywhere we can’t escape but always pray The Most High guide and protect us!

Amen!!! Thanks much sir, God bless you

The experience left me stranded that first day I was on my way to asaba to visit my ex and it was my first time visiting his new house So I was stranded till the next morning when I found a stranger that finally lended me her phone to search for him on Facebook

Lack of employment that is what driving the crime. Onicha suppose to be the most beautiful city in Nigeria,a center for commercial markets. Though they are building roads but the government should find a way to create some employment for the jobless criminals so that the city will be safe. The small taxi that everyone is driving in Nigeria,can Nigeria start manufacturing their own?why importing something they can build in their country and create a market for it in many African countries. Thanks for making the video.

[@walkwithsimon]

You much welcome sit

No one is supporting a person who steal from someone who is working on their own business or robbing innocent people of villagers killing them.Those who does that are cowards.The worse crimes you could commit is to kill your own person. Now,where I am blaming the governors of Easternmost states is that they fail to invest in their own people also in their own state .There is no country without a corrupt politician but there are wise politician who steal but invest the money into their own state.The politician's steal this money send it to abroad as soon as this money gets to the host country,this money no longer belongs to them.They are controlled by the government of the host country why? Because they who stole this money can't prove how they got so much money .The fact is that if they have invested it in education and build hospitals, lights, and roads, they wouldn't go abroad for medical treatment,people will live longer because they have good medicine for treatment. Children will learn in a good environment, not the building that London left behind them, which conditions are already inhabitable for students to learn a good education.

Firstly, welcome to Onitsha. A lot to say about Onitsha city but... Sorry for losing such money & valuable in a period like this and thank God for safety. (Some will jokingly say its a welcome Parry as a 1st timer but it happens to even old comers though we pray not to meet such unfortunate situation) Onitsha is a busy & business environment but will be better without some of these unfortunate situations. It's a tough city but we keep living! Thanks for visiting but sorry for the ugly experience. It shouldn't have been that way... Yeah I'm happy with the new development (2nd niger bridge) Hopefully, the congested & annoying traffic that usually hold at the 1st bridge will reduce if not drastically. I love the fact that travelers from Lag can pass through the 2nd bridge to owerri without getting to Onitsha. Also same for other travelers depending on their locations to destinations hereby making the distance shorter. You've done a nice job. Bravo to Walk with Simon & your team 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@walkwithsimon]

The second bridge will really save alot of people, and I pray Anambra state government create a good environment for visitors to be safe, before I went to onitsha many people warned me about onitsha.

@@zaksungumo4217 Don't worry about my city. We have crimes but there is accountability. We take care of our city. We pay our taxes. We build roads, schools and recreation facilities. We have electricity and water. We keep our city clean. If you don't keep your property clean to the standard, you get fined. We collect our garbage in bags, bins and containers. Every week, the garbage people will come to our houses and pick up garbage. Mails get delivered to our homes. My city is like heaven which you pray for. The service is not free. Everyone pays for everything. That is how you create jobs and reduce crimes. It is called pay for service. We don't wait for the government or God to do things for us. We have city managers and we take care of things. I will not live in your city. It is a dump.

It is really not for the faint hearted. Thanks much dear

[@benjaminnelly523]

Sorry you had to go through that I’ve had two experiences broad day light First time the thief dragged my phone from the bus ran past a police officer and there was heavy traffic oh but nothing was done about it The other one was at the bus pack when I was trying to go back to owerri from asaba and you know I stopped by onitsha and the took my bag lucky enough for me I only had my little phone and money in there but my big phone and cards were in my luggage cause of the initial incident

[@walkwithsimon]

So Sorry about your experience, but mostly I think these things happen to first time visitors who don't know the town very well, and I hope someone reading this will be mindful on your first visit to onitsha, abeg shine your eye 👁️

[@ikeemmanuel]

I always hear people say this about Onitsha but surprisingly have been to Onitsha more than 20 times and I have never experienced any insecurity, maybe them Dey look face or probably they know new comers into the city. The government really needs to do something about it and fast.

[@walkwithsimon]

Yeah the government need to take action quick cause onitsha is a business area

[@mebofranklin5878]

My brother just ignore them, it's unfortunate that a lot have been said about Onitsha. So most new comers in Onitsha had been filled up in their mindset with anticipation, anxiety and expectations about their imaginaries about Onitsha. I went to buy something with a friend who happens to be a new comer in Onitsha. After pricing the goods, he was afraid to bring out the money he hid inside his boxers believing that since we are in open place and here is Onitsha that they will rub him. And how much is the money, 30k. I now ask him do you know how many person a long this lined shops that are counting 1, 2, 5, 10 millions and even billions on a daily basis, how many has been rubbed? People should drop all this imagination about Onitsha, the city is just like every other cities, you might be unfortunate you got rubbed.

Onitsha is a beautiful well planned city that’s why most imo indigenes prefer to live in Onitsha. Conversely Owerri is a slum and glorified village littered with dilapidated roads, filth,l. Owerri is the headquarters of armed robbers, kidnappers, ipob terrorists, etc, Owerri is an unliveable dungeon. Imo is a failed state. You and your parents live in Onitsha because Owerri is the worst town in Nigeria

I'm sorry, but it could not happen anywhere. There is no excuse for this kind of criminal behaviour, and I believe that the mini bus driver is complicit. The governor has to step up and send the right message with tough action.

Can you compare the development in Onitsha and Anambra with that of your native state? You are not from Lagos and in case you have forgotten, better research history of Lagos from time of whiteman and being capital of Nigeria. Just say your state let see if it come even anywhere close to Anambra in development. Likely you're from Ekiti, Osun, Ondo or even Ibadan that is famous with brown zink despite being the capital of Yorubaland.
