[@Donald-Symmons]

There are a lot of things to know about Akwa Ibom state. Though Tayo made a 3-part series about the state, and this is just one video of the series. I know there are places he did not go to. The state is arguably the most peaceful state in the country, with rich natural resources, very rich culture, surplus sea foods, longest beach in Africa (I think), beautiful greenery, peace-loving people and very welcoming, etc. etc. Feels good to know your reaction about the state.

[@ubedet]

It has been the cleanest and safeest state in Nigeria.

[@chimakalu41]

It is home to the Annang people among others.

Akwa Ibom is the best kept SECRET of Nigeria. The State has its own Airport with MRO and Airplanes (IBOM AIR) fully owned and operated by the State. The State has its own Power Plant too, and currently on the verge of Constructing its own Sea Port (IBOM DEEP). SEA PORT.

I'm from Edo state lived in Uyo for more than two year I say with my full chest Akwa Ibom is 💯 better than Lagos

[@chincherri]

I saw absolutely nothing in uyo than empty nice roads..plus very sparse population...don't see any nice upscale restaurants that was every corner of lagos..there was absolutely nothing to do...only one highrise in four point..while in lagos that's was everywhere...I really don't think there is a comparison here...uyo is for ppl who want quiet life lagos is for ppl who want entertainment and fun..plus lagos is overhauling its chaotic past and trying to evolve into a world class destination I strongly believe...so many works are going on in lagos I believe before 2030 it will be a top destination in Africa.. I don't even think they are interested in all these competitions

[@tinatendi]

I have seen a few Nigerian videos and I must say that I do love Akwa Ibom

Lagos has more infrastructure than uyo .but uyo has better road network than lagos ,currently they're building smart aiport one in a kind in West Africa, only state with her own airline. Also, building her deep seaport owned by the state government. Food is number one in the country, most cleaness city in Nigeria and one of the cleanest in Africa as a whole ..best stadium in Nigeria and west Africa. Our ambiance is second to none ,longest sand beach in west Africa. Biggest resort in Nigeria and west Africa. (Ibom golf and resort) Alot of potential in akwa. God bless our leaders they're God sent to us akwaibomites and Nigeria

There is good food across Nigeria. SW is more hospitable, not aggressive, more sea food in Lagos due to the coastal line.

Not sure why Tayo titled the video that way since Akwa Ibom is a state and not a city. Uyo is a nice place. It reminds me a lot of my home city of Enugu in terms of how calm it is.

[@Not_really]

Nice review of a sleepy, peaceful city. I love Akwa Ibom folks. I am not from Akwa Ibom but I can tell you the people are some of the most hardworking citizens of Nigeria. I know this because I have some of them working for me in Nigeria ! Next, you might like to review the cities of Calabar and Port Harcourt. I attended the University of Port Harcourt ( best days of my life), and I can tell you that the city of Port Harcourt was a big rival to Lagos, back in the 80s. It's all gone a bit pear-shape now, with all the crime and insecurity. But, if you can look beyond all of that, you will be amazed at the beauty of Port Harcourt.

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

I believe we reacted to Port Harcourt earlier this year. We enjoy seeing different places in Nigeria.

[@calledbyfire676]

You shouldn't call Akwa Ibom State "sleepy place". Akwa Ibom State is the highest oil and gas producer in Nigeria, nay Africa. From oil profits from Akwa Abasi Ibom State the rest of the country is built. The only State with their airline, when Nigeria as a country has no airline. How sleepy can that be? Continue looking down on Akwa Ibom State while we keep rising.

Its interesting that you stopped by Akwa Abasi Ibom State. The BRIDGE OF NO RETURN is in this state, where your ancestors were sold out in slavery to the western world. Your history is tied to this state. There are videos showing the slavery port at Ikot Abasi. Look for videos on ikot Abasi and review it.

Due to sparse population...don't confuse big empty roads with lagos which is a major hub of Nigeria with so much infrastructure..I didn't see any much thing in uyo..couldn't even see a top notch restaurant outside the hotel foods

​@@chincherriguy when you're dirty, you're dirty forget about the population

[@christopherudomboso]

​​@@chincherri When you talk of being dirty due to heavy population, what do you say of Nairobi City of Kenya, christened as the "New York of Africa"? Nairobi City is the cleanest and, arguably most beautiful city in Africa, very much compared to Cape Town in South Africa. The truth is that Lagos is traditionally dirty, and this is not due to any population of sort. But Akwa Ibom people, especially most, if not all, of the South South, have a natural clean culture. Please go to the villages to verify what I'm saying.

@christopherudomboso whenever there will be 21 million ppl out of control living and moving about the place..we gonna check back and see

[@christopherudomboso]

@@chincherri Even at 21 million, Uyo will still remain clean. I live in the Southwest of Nigeria. I have lived in Lagos and Ile-Ife. I have traveled all over the Southwest. I currently reside in Ibadan, the city of my birth. I know very well what I am saying. Being clean or dirty is systemic. There are cities that are more populous than Lagos, yet they are clean to a fault. Check out China and India. You will understand what I mean.
