Nnewi Home to the Most Richest Men in Igboland

[@snkgoo]

Hello Eboh, how are you? I am Brazilian and I have been watching some videos of him, my Nigerian boyfriend is from the Umuahia region and I am enjoying getting to know Nigeria through his videos. Congratulations.

[@MrRoyck10]

I commend the Nnewi people for their individual and collective efforts to develop their community more than any other place in Nigeria mainly without government assistance. However what I see is a lack of local town planning by the local authority hence too much unregulated business activities and commercial activities are all over the place. The same activities can be better planned away from residential areas, more leisure areas are also important for our mental health with more greenery for relaxing after hustle. Business/ industrial parks should be incorporated in our cities. My criticism is the lack of support from FG or state government to invest in areas of industrial excellence like Nnewi. I commend the igbos for building cities on the back of their own hard work without any government assistance. Eboh Gee thanks for sharing.

[@eeke7438]

I have exactly the same sentiments and made a comment regarding this even before I saw your comment. I feel they need to work on the aspect sooner than later.

[@tosinojo7310]

the lack of federal presence means they don't pay tax?...so yeah...i also wonder why people site lack of federal presence...isnt it the responsibility of the state? correct me if i am wrong. Are they not responsible for developing local government areas? etc They do this partly from tax revenue. I feel its just a story that allows Governors and state actors to loot as much as possible

Nnewi looks nice. Thanks for sharing this great content.

The following roads should be dualized as a matter of urgency. Old Nnewi Onitsha road, Nnewi Nnobi road, Nnewi Ozubulu road.....

Nnewi is just a very beautiful place

[@MrBerry_1]

That dirty village is beautiful in your eye's, how do you classify beautiful in a dusty, rusty and undeveloped village like Nnewi. By now are the Government not suppose to start giving the town a facelift with street light, traffic light and dualising the roads. City is not about having lots of lock up shops 2 by 2 shops littered all corners of the roads.

[@tosinojo7310]

it definitely does not look like the home to the richest men.... maybe during Christmas because Karu on the outskirts of Abuja looks more developed than this...i think those men don't live there most of the year and only come back for Christmas otherwise it would look much better. I think one of the ways to improve the look is to plant more trees...close gutters and mark the roads Look at Calaba, Uyo and the likes thats what they should aspire to.

This is my hometown. But this city is shameful. Zaria looks better than this place . Its almost embarrassing to know how much money flows in this city . Igbo leaders have failed us . Looking at this peter obi should be ashamed too. Awka is a village . Nnewi is a village . Onitsha is a slum . They should all be ashamed of themselves. Abia , imo , anambra are all in shameful state. Enugu is one bad Governor away from being a slum too. The woman they have there now is a shame as well

@ Eboh media, please can you change the titles... The state of the place is a bit insulting for those who would watch this from advanced countries... Just put Nnewi, let people be the judge whether it is the richest or not. You could see here that there is a strong need for government presence and regulations.. The city and indigenes are doing great but we still need a lot of work in planning, tree planting and basic town planning regulations.

[@ebohmedia2459]

I understood the angle you are coming from bro but this is the current look of our lands, it is what it is and we shouldn't be ashamed ( let our leaders do that for us ) rather we should stand, work and fight together to make our lands be in the state it deserves to be, sorry bro I can't change the title because the title is the truth.

Please, towns around Nnewi should embark on urban planning. This is because Nnewi development will expand to neighboring towns around them.

It’s a shame you have Igbo elites and billionaires that would rather go to Banana Island, Abuja, or other groups’ places to develop their own states for them while their own towns look like this. My interest is solely in Ndi Igbo-Biafraland‼️💕

Blame it on the bush myopic men who govern Anambra State. Is it not the duty of the government to effect a standard urban plan where you have a completely squared interconnected road Networks with walkways lawns, and boulevards 🎄🌴🎄🌴🎄🌴. These yeye governors refuse to maximize the potentials of the great Igbo Developers. The should open new towns/ cities now.

Nwankwo Tochujwu, if Nnewi had only a little pat on the back from the government by way of infrastructural assistance, maybe, just maybe, those Nnewi billionaires would be encouraged to develop Nnewi more, considering that so many jobs in Nigeria/Anambra state are provided by Nnewi indigenes.

[@MrBerry_1]

All those big names i have been hearing about Nnewi being richest, industrialised and bigger economy in Africa are all noisy hype. Look at how dirty, uncivilized, poor Gov infrastructure and poor the village is. No road and few one's very tiny and untared. Nnewi people are greedy that they can build big house's but cannot at list pave or interlock their road to enter the house or street. Self centred and waiting for obiano at Awka to fix it. Everything is not about buying and selling, the Ambiante of your environments should be taken serious in other sustain a healthy progressive society. I can't reside in Onitsha, Okpoko, Nnwei or Awada. Anambra is very dirty as whole and needs a total overhauling.

[@iamscottish5826]

People from Nnewi won't dualize the roads. The government have to do that. Nigerian system system of governance is ineffective. A governor sitting in the capital of state can't do everything, every important city deserve a mayor of some kind. The government in Nigeria have tried for the citizens and the citizens are doing the best they can to survive. You won't expect people from Nnewi to all gather and transform their hometown all by themselves. Where has it been done? They can only contribute their own quota. If them they even contribute themselves, it won't be enough. There is a lot of siphoning of fund by elected officials in Nigeria. A lot of thing ought to been but they haven't been done because nobody cares.

This is a village just like your village but the difference is that been the typical Igbo people that they are; Nnewi indigenes, village men and women, like so many indigenously developed Igbo towns and villages, single handedly turned their bush to an active and prosperous busy business town which can challenge any city as regards economic activities unlike your village which is characterized as we speak by the noises of birds and of wild bush animals with frustrated men and women roaming about hopelessly in sleeping bush of a ghost village. I'm not surprised to see that you are so unhappy with the exploits of a zone and a people who were once rendered hopeless as a result of a gang up civil war, a state sponsored terrorism of the Nigeria's government against the BLESSED Igbo Divine. Nnewi is extremely beautiful. I'm proud of my people.

[@gsupport5264]

Maiduguri, Niger or whatever are bigger for nothing except terrorism, Nnewi is not a capital city but a town, not even close to main commercial city Onitsha or Awka the capital city . Mention one town in the whole Nigeria that can look vibrant and better than Nnewi apart from their capital city.
