Is Akwa Ibom A Better City Than Lagos?
Is Akwa Ibom A Better City than Lagos, Nigeria is a Video where I explore Akwa Ibom state in Southern Nigeria in Hopes to Rediscover the Culture, Lifestyle, and people of the City? I also compare living here with living in lagos, Nigeria.
I boarded a plane to Uyo which is the state capital and stayed in the City for 4 Days. In this video, I explore Uyo Stadium, Green Park and I try out some local delicacies like AFang Soup. This new series involves me sharing my experience across Nigeria in the Hopes or Rediscovering the Lost Beauty and Vibrance of the Country. Do like, watch and Enjoy.

I think there is a general attitude in Africa, to reduce an entire country to one major city. Nigeria becomes Lagos, Ghana becomes Accra, Ethiopia becomes Addis, Tanzania is Dar Es Salaam etc. Thank goodness for the youtubers because the tourist boards are not promoting as they should. ❤✊🏿💚

Akwa Ibom is definitely on the top of my list for places I would recommend first time visitors to Nigeria. Its calm and clean. Offers a rich cultural heritage. 2019 when I visited I couldn't believe the stadium was already 5 years old. it may not sound like much but knowing Nigeria and how great we are at maintenance the state can be super proud of themselves for keeping up the good standard.

lol! the guy be like, let me tell you for free! Akwa ibom is really a nice place to visit, I was there in 2015/2017 and I toured almost the whole of cross river and akwa ibom. They have good roads, good food and almost every where looks green.To be honest, i feel many nigerians should start exploring other states to see the beauty! More so, Le Meridien Ibom Hotel & Golf Resort is such a beautiful place to visit, I visited the resort during my stay in uyo and it was nothing more than good. I equally visited the Godswill Akbabio international and more and yes, it was so beautiful to behold.
I remember back then in 2013 in Benin city, my neighbour was from Akwa ibom, whenever she prepared Afang soup she'll always tell me to bring a plate so she can give me some of the soup, all i had to do was rush out to get Fufu😅😂. I miss nigeria a lot, haven't been to nigeria since 2015, it's almost 7 years, i was still in secondary school(ss2) when i left.
That roundabout at Ibom Plaza is called "Ibom Connection" and not "Ibom Peace Column" as that guy said. It's called Ibom Connection because it's located at the centre of Akwa Ibom State and not just the centre of Uyo, and that's the exact place where the four cardinals points of the state meets, Akwa Ibom north, south, east and west. All the major roads that meets at that roundabout, leads to other major towns in the state like Ikot Ekpene, Eket, Oron, Ikot Abasi, Abak, Etinan, Itu, etc. Ibom Peace Column was located at the present location of Itam flyover but the stature was relocated to somewhere close to the Ibom Specialist Hospital, when that Itam flyover bridge was built.

That's where life is apparently. But a look at the beauty and peace in Akwa Ibom. We need to allow more publicity on cities like this across Nigeria. Show people they have options
My goodness, it's a gorgeous state.
Tayo, you should try a tour of the Tech hubs too. Akwa Ibom is one of the states at the forefront of tech.
If Lagos had a Park; 1) it won't have any trees 2) it would be near water 3) it would likely be reclaimed land 4) It would soon be turned to either a private business or made into aparments.

Hi, I'm currently trying to decide between Calabar and Uyo on where to reside. Which do you think is better (based on the environment, recreational centers and security) And lastly comparing with ABUJA, which do you think is the best to reside in? The reason I added ABUJA is because some friends that stays in Abuja says I should ignore any other state and come over to ABUJA saying I'll definitely like it there and ABUJA is better than the others.
Nigeria is very beautiful and don't know why people don't appreciate what they have.

Thanks Tayo and the crew for the promotion of my state AKS . Spent part of my childhood in Ewet housing but being out in the diaspora for over two decades where I was born. I can assure you that every point raised about Akwa Ibom is correct! Clean and serene environment, friendly and accommodating people, calm and relaxed atmosphere, delicious array of local cuisines and most of all very beautiful, cultured and caring women. Not as much economic activities like other major cities in Nigeria but it is on the rise. Bigger demographics of under 25's so tech startups are also on the rise. Being in the South south, it is part of the Niger delta with reserves so massive potential for further economic development and growth if managed well which so far is the case. I would like to see more tourism promotion to the wider world from the State government and also a uniform expansion and development of the outer areas of the state. Not just individual houses but also infrastructures and amenities. Great work guys. I miss my state dearly and hope to be back soon.

Abroad is crap. Nigeria and Africa is the future
Coming to Nigeria soon what time to visit this place. Thank you for sharing this video.
Lol, I feel like eating Eba now. Kai. Those Green Expands that whats exciting, just wanna roll on the grass hehehe
Tayo.. I wish I stumbled over you in Uyo... would have been a bit more fun for you and your crew.. I left Lagos for Uyo since 2019, and its been one of my best decisions... The Peace is all I needed from after over 2 decades in Lagos..
I hope you will visit my town ikot Ekpene

Great video Tayo..Akwa Ibom State has a growing, vibrant Tech Ecosystem. You can get to the e library and particularly a start up called Start Innovation Hub...run by Hanson Johnson. He's doing a great job there globally from THAT space...representing South South..
Akwa Ibom is a nice place to be. I visited Uyo in Akwa Ibom sometime last year and I enjoyed every moment I spent there. Rich and delicious food, affordable acomodation and friendly people.

South South is the beauty of Nigeria. The sand and green environment adds to the beauty. Look other states with red sand no matter the structure you build they still look stupid from outside 🤣
