- This is the video of my visit to a hidden paradise in the south of Nigeria. This video will help you see the potential of the state in the south-south of the country. In this video, you will learn a lot of things about this place. I visited a hidden paradise called Akwa Ibom State. This state has so much culture, food, history and beauty.
I hope you find the vlog exciting and give it a Like.

I salute Akwa Ibom people for their level of cleanliness 👌
Even their water areas aren’t filled with trash.
I wish Port Harcourt people can learn.
They have done so well when it comes to keeping their state clean.
Nothing should be built there. it's better to leave Mother Nature with her natural and wild beauty. The beach is more beautiful the way it is. 100% natural no artificial structures, all natural. God bless Mother Nature, and God bless Akwa Ibom the land of promise
👍
My two yrs old son says “wow” several times just glancing at the beautiful beach. Nature is truly amazing
💕💕💕🎉🎉💕💕💕
I said wow too
Akwa Ibom is NOT a City it is a STATE in South South Nigeria with several cities.eg the City of Uyo which is the capital of the state.There is the city of Ikot Ekpene (oldest Local Government in West Africa),The City of Eket(where all the Oil companies are),etc!But thank you for Showcasing our beautiful state.We have a very kind and active governor Pastor Umo Eno whom we fondly call Unku Golden who is making amazing strides in every area via the Arise Agenda.He's building more roads,revamping the schools,the healthcare system,the agricultural sector,housing for the homeless,improving opportunities for the disabled,etc to name a few.Proud to be an Akwaibomite🎉🙌👍
Thank you for your contribution. Very much appreciated.
I hope we will meet Unku someday soon to see what we can do to help in the little way we can.
I just like akwa ebom, very clean . And i love INI EDO THE BEAUTIFUL AND GREAT STAR OF THIS STATE she looks like us ( face)❤. we have place were slaves passe and never return to 😢 "Porto seguro" 👍👍 like thé Guy says it's à great tourism place indeed❤
I plan to visit, any tips?
@@Bigwillz But you really ought to know that Akwa Ibom is a state. This is the second video you have done and referred to it as a city. Come on, man.
@@african-history-fountain I can't begin to explain to you. Anyways I appreciate your contribution and I've noted it. Thank you once again
The problem with Nigeria is maintenance culture . Nigerians fail to realize that history and tourism are interconnected to an extent and this are things that attract tourism.
You made a huge point.
Perhaps the govt and people see that building as a relic of colonial exploitation, and hence there's a reluctance to spend taxpayers' money maintaining it?
"Maintenance "? Just take a look at all the leftover infrastructure from the colonial days more than 6 decades ago. They just let them decay and rot to the ground.
@@african-history-fountain maybe.
@@african-history-fountain People have moved on beyond colonial explotation notions - nobody has come up with a better use for the plot of land and the building which could be restored or restored down
Remember that song Akwa-Ibom ayaya? Meaning Akwa-Ibom is beautiful...now you understand
👍💯
Everything should not be commercialized. Sometimes it's best to leave mother nature alone. My point is, no need commercializing the beach. It may damage its natural beauty. Everything shouldn't be about money.
👍👍
@@LM-op7wu I know there is so much we need to learn.
This is a poor mentality speaking. That is why you remain poor and you complain. You are like the servant God gave 1 talent and instead he buried it to preserve it and gave it back to his master. What did the master say to him? Go read the Bible please. Why do you think Europeans and North Americans are jetting and buying holiday packages outside their countries?
I agree with you 100%
so only the rich countries are allowed to commericialize and make money from their while we expect poorer countries to leave their natural state without making profit? commericialization of nature is to help the people living there at the end of the day.
That's why many of us still believe Nigeria should break up. Places like this WILL NEVER realize their full potential while still in Nigeria. That's why crude oil will never sustain Nigeria as the only mean of revenue. That's why other places will remain overcrowded and the resources overstretched. If we break up, the different countries will be able to discover their worth and their true potential and even compete developmental-wise, thereby facilitating rapid growth of these countries. At the minimum, Nigeria should go back to the regional system of government!
💯👍
You're right. But regional government to me is better than total breakup. God help Nigeria.
@@ChigozieAnyim-zg4hx Regional system of government in Nigeria is more or less like a break up. That's why the powers that be will not allow it to happen, because they will no longer be able to take money from the south to build the north. Their pot of soup will run dry, hence its's like breaking up. In fact, it will lead to final break up.
Eastern obolo is my local government that beach is home for me, we have been looking for a way to let the world know what we have , unfortunately we are a minority and no government identifies with it.
Nice to hear you are from there. Your place is stunning. Your place is beautiful.
Very unfortunate, this are the types that bring in summer money for some western countries annually from tourists. Can't the state government take better care of that Lugard former home and office if the federal government abandoned it, because its a glory to the state to be hosting historical memorial for the nation.
We had rulers that are sitting on raw materials that will brings in the needed money but don't know to process them to become, yet they come to western world with not those resources to borrow money from them. We have all year round good weather for tourism.
Thank you for showing the world this beautiful island located in Eastern obolo in Akwa ibom state Nigeria, through your lens, hopefully the needful would be done.
@@LM-op7wu they are so foolish
I was there in 2022, and it's really beautiful.
Such a pristine beach, looks almost untouched.
Sadly, even some supposed Akwa Ibomites don't even know that there's such a beach in Akwa Ibom.
All they know is Ibeno.
The people really need to do a whole lot more about their self-education.
Very clean state. I served in Uyo for one year and I loved it. The air was clean and and the environment was very serene and quiet.
In a very simple way, you've described Akwa Ibom state.
Very clean city
But hey my brother come to South Africa , you will be shocked May the Highest bless Nigeria 🇳🇬
From. South African
My heart bleeds for Nigeria.... can´t tell you the millions people pay just to visit countries like Spain etc for less natural beauties like ours.! This video ought to go viral..... The Government should engage you for more@bigwilz. God bless you for sharing.
Thank you @hommysmiles1775. We are hoping something good comes from this.
The government will not develop it because it is not in the north or west. ...as long as is in the eastern region they don't want anyone to know about it
Akwa Ibom State is truly beautiful. The people are highly hospitable. Rich culture, good background and industry. Akwa Ibom is waiting for discovery as the Dubai of Africa!!
Such a beautiful place 💕 💕
And good women
@@user-zq3ce5sm7s thank you for the comment.
Thank you for this. I would prefer for the hotels to be built far away from the beach to retain its wild beauty. It's absolutely stunning.😍
I totally agree!. Great point
I'm Indian. Visited Uyo many times. Have many friends. I agree with you. Please keep the natural beauty. .
@@mohankay8870 👍
The drone shot showing the shoreline at Cashew beach was breathtaking. Its like we need a Bigwillz travel club at this point o. Thank you once again for sharing the beauty of Nigeria with us.
🤣🤣🤣 you are welcome 💕💕💕
Yes, I believe we are in agreement, Bigwillz. My main concern, from an outsiders prospective, was that I've too often seen these beautiful areas be overdeveloped without regard for preserving the natural landscape. There's nothing wrong with people wanting to make the best use of the natural assets available, but too often developers, unchecked, will overdevelop the very asset they wished to exploit. Developers sometimes let making money be their only concern.
Everything is not about money. I agree with the comment of someone here who said "sometimes it's better to leave mother nature as it is.
But you will travel to other countries to see their own nature. That has been developed😂
Thoughts to ponder 🤔
We have other beech stretches that haven't been developed nearly enough. Perhaps we should demonstrate first that we can maintain what we have before moving on to the next and start erecting artificial structures therein which will surely be abandoned within 10 years.
@@finalwarningformankindlove3260 You can't develop nature oga, you sound naive and the draw of those places is the fact that it hasn't been fully commercialized and maintains their natural state.
That's why people complain about certain tourists zones like the Bahamas because it's has been over commercialized to the point it no longer holds is natural value.
What that person said is the truth. Leave nature alone, human greed is disgusting.
@@ermalansini5113 this is stupid. Of course you can develop nature. If you build tourism infrastructure around a beach front it is developed. That's the point. There is a middle point between over-commercialization and underutilization. There is nobody on that beach, and the point is if you create an opportunity for people to use it conveniently, they can then appreciate it in its natural state.
Akwa ibom makes the best soups! 💯
I totally agree with you 💯
I totally concur
Please when next you are filming beautiful nature such as this.. please do wear a life jacket, so we will countinue to enjoy this beautiful content you give us.
Thank you 🙏 🙏. I will get a life jacket.
This Ibom Icon Resort is an absolute beauty to behold. The lanscape and vegetation just give a vibe of peace and bliss.
Bro you've said it all 💯
I went to Akwa Ibom recently two weeks ago. Loved everything about it, especially Ibeno Beach. I didn't visit Cashew Beach, this month
That state is supper beautiful. The food and the people are great.
Can’t believe this is Nigeria 🎉😢
Our country is full of hidden treasures
I can't believe my eyes....😢 it's just that Akwa Ibom is far
Yes, it is if you go by road like I did from Abuja. But if you are flying in, then it's not far.
It's not far they have their airline now
@@aiweriobacharles860 it make sense
You're not missing anything. Trust me. The only thing that Akwa Ibom state can boast of is that 12 year old stadium that youtubers keep showing ad nauseum.
@@evaristus4821 I'm actually talking about the beach
To make the beach attractive for investors, the regional govt must embark on developing a commercial Seaport to decongest that of Lagos and attract businesses to that region.
Good point
BigWillz you have said it all! Nigeria 🇳🇬 our great nation is truly BLESSED with endless potentials across the entire geographical landscapes. Akwa Ibom is land of opportunities for Hospitality and Tourism under good leadership and governance. Let us stay positive and work towards a Nigeria that is for all not for a few. 🌍👍🇳🇬
Well said. Thank you so very much. I appreciate your contribution.🙏🙏🙏🙏
Nigeria is NOT a great nation. The only thing Nigeria is blessed with is corrupt leaders and gullible people.
This is an amazing video!
Our government isn't ready yet!!
You are right. But the state government can start. If they invite me for a meeting,I will share great ideas with them on how to grow tourism in the state.
I pray the coastal road doesn't claim this beauty 🙏🏽
We pray so too 🙏🙏
Investments of foreigners are not the great solution.I see it in other countries.The home infrastracture doesnt have anything from it.Low costs forNigereans work and few years later you feel like a foreigner in your own country.BaCK TO NATURE
You are right. Local investors is the way forward
Like some beaches in Jamaica where the locals cannot catch fish there or even enter as Foriegners don privatize the whole thing
@@La_Reinasworld wao! Interesting. We don't want that type here.
@@Bigwillz no, not “local investors”. INDIGENOUS investors. Stay the F out.
Nigerians are really doing well on TH-cam... Thumbs up my guys, thumbs up ❤
Thank you 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
I have been to akwa ibom twice, and visited the Akpabio stadium. It is a beautiful city. Wish i could go to the beach sometime.
Maybe when you do visit again.
Fact is, not just Akwa Ibom, but everywhere else in the country. There's A LOT of untapped tourism potential, even in Lagos!
I agree with you 💯.
There is really no other beach in Nigeria like this. 9:57
👍👍
That’s not true there’s one in my state ondo and it’s beautiful too
@@Houseofreasonchannel, I have to make plans to visit. It will be nice to see other beautiful places like this.
This Beach is Stunning and should be maintained it has Hugh Tourism potential!!!!🇳🇬🎉💯🌊❤🌴🌴🎋🏝️
So much potential
That's what you would think but don't hold your breath. They couldn't even maintain the infrastructure left over by the British more than 60 years ago.
@@so9487 they truly don't want to do anything in this direction.
I see no reason why they can't make it a port like the tin can island port so that people from the the southeast can have the goods shipped directly there instead of Lagos
@@morounadebo6640 there are so many places in the south south that they can build other ports. I believe there are some people in power making huge money from Lagos being the only port, they won't allow any other port to come to life.
When people mention Nigeria they only think of Lagos ( which is hideous) or Abuja yet inland.Y it is very beautiful Yes, Nigeria does have beaches! Thank you for showing this, maybe, just maybe someone will see the potential the seaside, the scenery is just stunning!!!
Exactly! Most people only think of Lagos and Abuja when Nigeria is mentioned.
When the coastal road is completed, it will make places like this more accessible
💯👍
Yes
it's so beautiful. Honestly, our leaders are not doing enough.
They are not
You did a great job on this one brother. Enjoyed it. Yes, Akwa Ibom has a lot of places and things to explore. Regarding investing in beaches, it is sad its not been developed, however, I must also say that most times, locals of these places are also not open to investment. Nonetheless, a lot more needs to be done.
The fastest way to develop these beaches and oceans in southern Nigeria is to ensure that the ports there work. Right now 95% of things shipped into Nigeria go through Lagos.
Thank you bro. So nice to hear your thoughts on this.
What’s sad is what is happening in your region. Please focus on your insecurity and slums in Igboland. That is sad. What you saw in this video is beauty and peace. Something your people don’t understand.
@@rg8162 plus oil bunkering, armed rubbery, smuggling and MOSQUITOS

The beaches haven't been explored due to lack of development, all of the Niger Delta coastline will be brought to life with the Lagos - Calabar coastal road, I pray it is a success as it will bring in more investors and make the area more accessible.
We pray they carry out the project.
That coastal road project is about costing Nigeria one of it's finest beach resort ⛱️ and ecosystem' ever built by an indigenous entrepreneur. I hope the government reviews that demolition order ASAP. Well-done BW. I just subscribed ✌️
@@kingSway2d thank you for subscribing. Much appreciated. I feel very bad for the Landmark resort that will be affected by this project.
@@kingSway2d No one is demolishing the Landmark beach and leisure. It's all propaganda and misinformation. The Federal Govt owns certain metres of the beach front according to law. Landmark cannot lay claim to that section. The Lagos Calabar coastal road doesn't destroy that business but only passes through. That road would even benefit Landmark in the longrun and all coastal areas and beaches on that long at the stretch
@@kingSway2d , the Minister of Works on Arise TV has clarified that landmark resort will not be demolished.
Nigeria is truly a beautiful country. I dont think the government and leadership in Nigeria know this
They are only interested in quick oil money

Which is better; California or Akwa Ibom?
@@tmajecAkwa ibom
A bridge should be built across that stream you crossed to give people smooth access to the beach. Easy access to the beach could be the reason tourists are not attracted there. Also think of the security of visitors. That place looks haunted.Lord Lugard's house should be renovated. It should be a historical landmark.
Thank you for your suggestion. I wish these things would be done. It will improve the appeal of these places.
With the state of insecurity in Nigeria, one cannot but just watch some things on you tube like this. I really hope and pray that Nigeria will once again be a country where one can move from one place to another without the fear of being a victim of kidnapping and robbery. May God save our nation.
Amen and Amen
I think that we be the best option because he has the idea already
U guys were not wearing life jacket on the boat..very risky..
They didn't give us any. I'm going to get a personal one for places like this where they don't have any. Thank you for your concern. Appreciated
The Superhighway that's being constructed should open all of these places up. It's called Lagos - Calabar superhighway.
We will wait and see.
Meaning you don't believe it will happen. Doubting Thomas said the same about the blue line when it was using diesel before electrification. They laughed at the governor with different emojis on all social media platforms and made fun of Lagos state. The red line has been commissioned and ready to take off. Be positive for once.
@@FERESE yes o. Because we know what can happen in Nigeria, one never fully believe anything the government says they will do. They can start and somewhere down the line abandon the project. In spite of what I just said, I am hoping it is done and completed in record time.
The word "maintenance" is not in the vocabulary of Nigeria. Since gaining independence, they have allowed everything to rot to the ground. What a lack of respect for one's own community. It's a complete shame.
I agree with you 💯
the place is rather preserved and maintained.
@@amoatv3292 I don't believe so.
@so9487 What I really meant is that, keeping the place very neat, free from rubbish and unadulterated by the authorities is a form of preservation. As for the slave raiders building, it can rot.
@@amoatv3292
It's important to understand the history of slavery. Before colonization, slavery was Africa's main economy. In the mid-7th century, the Arabs invaded Africa and spread Islam. They enslaved many Africans and transported them to the Arabian Peninsula via the Trans-Saharan slave trade route where millions of the men were castrated to prevent them from reproducing (that's why there are not that many blacks in the Arabian Peninsula). Some of these slaves were captured by force, while others were purchased from tribal chiefs in exchange for gold and other goods.
Centuries later, African tribal chiefs began selling slaves to European invaders (not colonizers, who arrived much later). It's worth noting that colonizers actually outlawed slavery.
I highly recommend a visit to the Badagry Museum in Nigeria if you are interested in learning about the history of slavery. It is worth noting that in addition to enslaving Africans, the Arabs also enslaved millions of Europeans during the Barbary slave trade. Interestingly, some of the descendants of those European slaves are now living in North Africa.
That's a very lovely beach. I think the Lagos-Calabar coastal road, when finished, would open the coast of Akwa Ibom to more tourism... That's the beauty of infrastructure, it has positive ripple effects.
Sounds great! But we are waiting to see if they will implement / start the construction.
@@Bigwillz Oh they have already begun the Lagos part of the project. I think the FG is serious about it and Akwa Ibom is going to benefit immensely. Imagine people taking a direct train to be dropped directly at the coast of Akwa Ibom from Lagos, it would be such an amazing boost. ✌🏾
@@mayowailesanmi7423 wao interesting. Is it a railway or road linking these regions?
@@Bigwillz 10 lane road with railway in between. It's a massive one.
@@mayowailesanmi7423 I'm excited and at the same time, I'm afraid of Nigeria happening to the project.
It's not about bringing in investments. Ask yourself what has happened to Obudu cattle ranch and the FTZ there. Do you know how much was put in it and how much it was generating. That beautiful project was killed by politics.I saw a video by a youtuber last year, and my heart bled 😢.
Yesterday, 6th April 2024, i read in the papers that landmark resort in lagos Island, ( a $200m) is about to lose a large chunk of its property to make way for a coastal road that was designed recently. These and so many other factors is why serious forward thinking investors dont want to invest in these places.
Waooo!!!
You’ve said it all.
Exactly
Coastal road wasn’t designed recently. As a little girl growing up in Falomo my military dad took me to bar beach and told me there was plan for coastal road that will head to port harcourt and Calabar. However, they would have told the people building stuffs on the coast in Lagos from inceptions. It’s so sad landmark is affected
@@ministerejen, I had no idea that this concept / idea to build this highway has been thought of long time ago. That's amazing. That means that the affected people must have been aware but believe it will never happen. I feel bad for the Landmark guy.
Remember Calabar used to be the capital of Nigeria.
It is better to leave certain things undisturbed.
Well done!
Thank you 🙏.
The Colonial masters used Calabar as their base. So in that sense, Calabar was capital of the Southern protectorate.
Nigeria was born out of the merging of the Southern protectorate and Northern Protectorate.
And Lagos became the capital of Nigeria.
So technically, Calabar was never the capital of Nigeria.
Just a fyi.
@@aayanfaucet-nm8wr 👍
Akwa Ibom is a beautiful state

Great work. The problem is not publicity but security. If you build a hotel in this location, which right thinking person will come here for holidays? Except the person wants to end up in the kidnappers den. Corruption and insecurity are our greatest challenges in Nigeria. Please let the government do something 🏃♂️
Thank you for lending your voice to this. Much appreciated
The beaches are beautiful. Graet video. Not every waterfront location is viable for investment, and not every beach (no matter how scenic) is suitable for recreational activities.
Point
Main problem with tourism in nigeria today is insecurity.. What happened to Obudu cattle ranch renovated by Donald Duke administration?
Insecurity is a major problem. But we have to start somewhere..
A beautiful beach. Yes, it is so sad.Nigeria could do so much with tourism. But first they need to start with the corruption. Coming into lagos airport was a disaster. Poor security attitudes, security employees in the airport harassing people for money. My goodness not a good vibe coming into the country. After leaving Nigeria, I told myself I would never come back because of the airport experience. Lot of work needs to be done and training
@@lovelineoutreachministries1914 I agree with you 💯 that we have a lot of work to do.
Donald Duke built Obudu Cattle Ranch.
Not necessarily *renovate.
He's the progenitor of tourism in Cross River State and South South, Nigeria.
Successive Governors had the responsibility to maintain the facilities, but failed woefully.
@@lovelineoutreachministries1914 I agree we have a lot to do to be better.
My people As an Akwa Ibomite.. pls the government must enact laws to protect our people from losing their land and properties with no more land for sale .. it should only be for lease only including properties.. this would allow our people the indigenous to have a sustained income and if they miss a payment the property or land automatically returns to the indigene.. case in point in high tourism area across the world there is no property ownership it is on a 20 yr lease bases.. pls get together and arrange programs to guide the government so our people do not sell everything becoming homeless and gateman to no non indigenous people , group or business. Much love from Akwa Ibom American from Texas USA. Akwa Ibom nyin ayaya tutu!
Yes, tourism should not be mistaken for degrading the natural beauty and pristine nature of the area. Indigenous people ought to be careful not to become a case like Hawaii.

Nice video brother, however the state government just spent £billions to build foreign Church building instead of use that money to preserve those important tourist sites and others important public infrastructures. Moreover before Nigeria tourist industry will be open these two important issues must put in orders, (1)Nigeria need to conduct free and fair elections, because free and fair elections send strong positive signals to outside world. (2)insecurity must be dealt with seriously, because all those insecurity mainly in Northern Nigeria are sending very Bad images of Nigeria to rest of World.
You made some great points. Appreciated
Imagine hotels and resorts built in those beaches how well it will develop those lands...rather they travel Maldives...Ibiza...Seychelles and all...not knowing we are further killing our economy
Beautiful gift of nature❤🥳
Nigeria is super blessed with everything from our climate to the topography and water bodies, rich cultures, gold and artefacts etc. the only thing we lack is good leadership
You hit the nail on the head.💯💯💯

Hi Bigwillz.
I'm thinking about making it a proper cashew beach, with so much cashews to serve Africa and Asia combined.
And by the water side, very lucrative, well regulated sea animal farm.
The huge employment opportunities that island will create.

This video is pioneering and these are the sort of videos we want to see. I am from Akwa Ibom state, I thought I knew my State inside out but you just revealed to me a hidden gem. Well done and thank you for going so far. As a child I stayed in Lord Lugard’s house my grand father was a medical doctor. The coastal road is probably the greatest and most ambitious infrastructure by any President it will most certainly open hidden gems like these to the world. Subscribing to your channel. Well done.
@ataikiddeh, so nice to read your comment. It's heart warming to me.
It's an honor to have you as a family member here. Much appreciated.
This is the best place to have cited the Eko Atlantic City or the Centenary City.
The government of Akwa Ibom should borrow a leaf from Lagos and Abuja. They should build a new city along the coast, something like Dubai. They have the money, and if my idea is properly sold to them, it is achievable.
💯👍👍
True bro. the government don't have that idea 😢
@@califoniakester7551 they don't have the will to do the right thing.
I'm shocked you all don't see far. Why do you think they're building the Lagos -calabar coastal road. It's to open it up for development. You think just building a centenary city can function without a "ROAD" linking all those states. This route when developed will be a travel destination in less than a decade. The major work is the coastal road, after that more investment will come in and infrastructures will provide jobs and the development will open it up for tourism.
@@FERESE I say Amen to this project. I've seen work being done at the Lagos end.
As always a wonderful vedic of Nigeria and very informative. Kudos to you for all your exploratory adventures about Nigeria. We have the best weather, vegetation and topography in the world and yet we do not appreciate it. Like you pointed out they will travel to other tropical islands for vacation and show off rather than their own shoreline.
I still remember the video you did about the TINAPA project that is now in ruins! ... and the OBUDU Cattle Ranch that seems to be heading in the same appalling conditions in Calabar. What a shame.
I am sure many of these coastal islands in Nigeria are as big as some these vacation Islands - no shade on my people from the Island and yet no initiative to develop the areas.
Wonderful video wishing you all the success of an adventures TH-camr
🖕🖕🖕👍👍👍🙌🙌🙌🤩🤩🤩
I appreciate your contribution. Very thoughtful.🙏
Tinapa was a white elephant gov Donald should have invested in Education 9vocational and Teck)and health services
@@Tefera-hf8fw I believe he meant well but continuity and maintenance is a huge problem.
A beautiful city to explore.
The Amalgamation house is in Ikot Abasi, yes it is so poorly kept, compared to the one in Badagry in Lagos. I got to Eastern Obolo but I was too scared to cross the river to the beach 😅
It's a beautiful place.
Thank you for the correction. An error on my part.
You would have seen this beautiful beach if you had gone on a boat to cross the water
Sure. You ought to be scared. It's scary. Good you didn't cross.
Awesome vidoe Bigwillz!❤❤. There are so many potentials in Nigeria 🇳🇬 but politicians prefer to visit Dubai instead of building infrastructures ..SAD 😢
You are right. They prefer other people's countries than theirs
Nice adventure Uncle... I've just discovered this place from your video. 😁
💕💕💕
This is really Beautiful.
Thank you 🙏

@@Chideranwaforfilms 👍
@@BigwillzI’m happy on how this video is doing so far God bless you are so passionate about TH-cam it shows ❤trust me you will be big in this game no matter how long it takes 🎉
always use life jacket while crossing water ways
Thank you 🙏. I will next time. As I will be getting one for places like this where they don't have any.
Please also try and visit Bayelsa State Nigeria 🇳🇬 and you will see lot's of beaches like this that has not been explored and people don't know about it.
The is that we a government that does not capitalise opportunities we have in this country.
Thank you for the information. I will visit soon. 🙏🙏🙏
Inland Nigeria is beautiful
💯💕👍
I wonder why we dont preserve our history and heritage. That's the sad part of us. Yet we complain of no money. When we are sitting of money, we just need to use our brains. Well done bigwillz.blessings
A people who do not preserve their history, will find it difficult to make a head way. Thank you for watching and commenting. Much appreciated
Government officials are busy sharing allocations and fighting among themselves ignoring tourism
💯👍
Nigerian politicians do not think these are riches. Monies stolen can be can be channel to this place this is heaven on earth. What a beauty.
💯👍
Nigeria is soooo blessed! There is absolutely nothing wrong with our country.
We've just been unlucky with leadership
We don't have leadership but tyrants and powerful people who don't understand the term leadership
Ahh you are back in AKWA Ibom, welcome. Your vid really helped me to travel there. Is there a way to reach out to you in case I know investors. You seem like you know your way around Nigerian.
Yeah my contact information is available on my Instagram page Bigwillzphotography. You can chat me via WhatsApp.
Personally, I would have preferred Landmark Beach to be here, but the question is, will the people of akwa ibom go there and spend money?
Their targeted market shouldn't be just Akwa ibom, or Nigeria only. Any resort built in a place like this should be world tourist standard , were people can travel from anywhere
Bin in Germany for 15 years time to go for a visit
I believe you will have a great time. Welcome to the channel. Hope you subscribe and be part of the family 💕 💕
Thanks to God you got there, if you are not there can you SEE FEEL and IMPACT POSITIVELY OR NEGATIVELY The blessings of TRANSPORT AND TRANSPORTATION. We are very very very blessed.
💯👍blessed
Don't you think that if it is opened to investment the beauty will be destroyed?
That’s my take as well. If they aren’t careful, locals would no longer enjoy the serenity it provides. They’ll destroy the eco system.
Someone also talked about it but said there has to be a balance between developing the place and maintaining the ecosystem.
off course trust Nigerians they will dump their rubbish overnight and destroy the pristine environment within 24 hours. leave it alone I say.
