Aba was never the capital of Abia state, It grew due to it's commercial nature just like Onitsha in Anambra. A capital city is not necessarily supposed to be the most developed or nice looking. It's just supposed to be an administrative city.
thanks for the precision brother !
@Afam I said, I heard so but not sure if it was a capital before, thanks for the lesson 👍
@@ebohmedia2459 umuahia always even tho I’m not from east I know
Very very correct boss the chair
For one thing pleasing me is seeing the bunch of trees , shrubs and roadsides green grasses
Awesome video bro
Your the real ambassador of south east Nigeria
Thanks ones again for showing/putting Aba On TH-cam
You are welcome brother
Well done guys you brought me back from the city I left exactly 30 years ago to London. I Took the young shall grow bus to Lagos from Milverton Rd to catch my flight. Good memories! Thank you Eboh Media
30years, oga clap for yourself ooo
ABA is very much better than what they say about it
Depending on the side he videoed 😂 m
Is just that the changes are slow, was so bad before. The past governors the two orji uzo Kalu and ta orji did nothing good in Aba and Abia state. They gave Okezie too much job to do
*that Enugu based TH-camr* says this looks a lot better than it's being portrayed.
However , the government should do more. I like how green the roadsides look . Seems they have had rain this year
I think Aba seems to be better than what we were hearing. However. I think we need more infraustructure in this Enyimba city.
I can't wait to visit Aba again, this is the city that taught me everything I needed to know as a man..
Thanks bro this video has value more than a day food to me. One love, am proud of ABA.
I’m so happy man. I’m from ABA and haven’t been to Nigeria in 8 years man. Thanks for this video
Aba will fulfil its potentials, love it.
Aba is really getting better.
Mennn!!! this video is nostalgic, I was born in Aba at General Hospital ,went to Aba Owerri Road primary Sch. and lived there for 25 years b4 I left for New Jersey ( I have been back a few times though). I could pretty much tell the roads they passed, Eziukwu road has been fixed and some other roads. But some buildings i saw in the video have been there since i was born and surprisingly are still there. I love Aba though.
Aba is nice
Aba is the commercial city of Abia State. Eboh great job as usual.
Brilliant! Very Nice video!
Thanks for the video bro. Great video
Ooh my God, I was thinking of a place to stay.
I have seen now. Thanks alot.
Aba here I come.
Honestly @Eboh Media I'm impressed with the Aba that I see here and not the Aba that I hear of, well-done bro for this nice city-drive vlog.
The fake about Aba was concoted by APC SW and Channel TV.
They did it out of envy, the did same thing to Uyo
@@imembacrystal4954 No it has nothing to do with Ngwa and non Ngwa, Igbo is Igbo.
The people that started was Orji Uzor group, the followed by Alex Otti group.
They Yoruba Tinibu Supporters started posting fake pictures from Ogun and Osun as Aba.
It is up to Aba Bloggers and TH-camrs to promote the great State and City.
@@imembacrystal4954 anakoegheri
That's grand; you're doing a voluntary job of huge social and economic importance to the public 👍
Beautiful vlog.
More video plz thanks for this
Eboh honestly your the best youtuber in South East..keep it up bro I always love your video very clear and authentic...👍
Thank you Chima
Oh my goodness I can't believe this happened. Love u guys plenty. I just subscribed ☺😊💕🤗
This is such a great video, but I hope there's a part 2, where you enter the main Aba, Park, Asa road, Ngwa Road. Those are the main areas of Aba and I can't wait to watch that video.
You're doing such a great job. Keep it up sir.
I can’t wait to visit Aba😊😊
Greetings sis such beautiful scenery
You are doing a Very Lovely job Brother. Keep it up.
Thank you
Thank you for the breathtaking ride sis
I love it my brother. ❤🌍👑
Look at the city my parents sent me too to learn about my culture good memories
I like the road network
NICE ONE BRO KEEP IT UP
Grew up in Aba and this video gives me nostalgic vibes
Aba is still suffering from the destruction by Nigerian government offensives during Biafra Nigerian total war ., it is yet to recover from the wanton devastation. I grow up there and i saw everything working so well before the war including cleaner city, public pumps for those that did not have water pumps inside their compound. Clean motorable roads/ gutters and regular power supply among others. The Aba population have multiplied and there is not enough infrastructure to support these over population and urbanisation .The state government is not very creative in raising revenue and transparency in it is expenditure. We are yet to experience the spirit of No Victor And No Vanquish.
Nice vlog.
Well done 👍✅👍👌
Thank you
Whoever visits Aba should also come to Fresh & Natural Restuarant to enjoy the local delicacy. Just search for Fresh and Natural on Google maps. 😋😋
Nice.
Oh menh am happy to see Aba like this than what I heard wow watching from Paris thx guys
Thanks for watching
Yes oh. my brother thanks very much for this video remain blessed forever.. I'm watching from south Africa.. aba is my home town. God bless all those people talking good about aba, i love u all remain blessed forever amen.. okezie ikpeazu our governor remain blessed sir..
You are welcome brother
I know aba one of my favourite city i have travelled most of the famous city in the world
Aba is the manufacturing hub of Nigeria. You wouldn't know it from this video though.
Nnewi is giving it a good run for its money
@@anachronistic8246 in your dreams
You went to Aba and didn't go to Ngwa road then you didn't reach Aba.
I ain’t been to this city in 20yrs. Wow! I grew up in OgborHill and 7Up area close to waterside. I feel like I’m watching a movie seriously. Stayed a little bit in Umungasi. Wow! So amazing you guys doing this for real. Thanks a lot guys. I’ll definitely visit soon
Mbakwe was the last governor that did anything significant but unfortunately that was from 79 to 83.
Nice
Very good
Mehnnnn this video just brought back alot of memories to me. I know all the this places like the back of my hands including the nooks and crannies.thanks for this video in particular bro .one Day when I visit Nigeria i am definitely going to check and explore all this areas again and I am subscribing to your channel because of this video 😎 .So much memories
Thank you 🙌
@@ebohmedia2459 Uwc Abang ☺️
Aba my state. My pride . My everything ❤️🩹
Thanks for doing this video on Aba, you have done well. God will bless you. It is a very well planned out city. Aba is a lot better then what people are making it out to be like. I am very happy with the many road projects that are being carried out in Aba as we speak. Can't wait to visit to buy as much of the "Made in Aba" products that I can get.
Thanks for watching, God bless you too
Nice video
Well done. Would’ve loved the name of the roads shown or tagged. Good job. And where is that shopping mall located.
That's aba/owerri, around the popular Bata area.
Thanks for showing us aba people can lair, one person will say something another person will carry it and stamp as if they have been to aba
What cameras do you use please, I have always wondered about your camera setup
For this one I used my DJI mini drone
How did you guys manage to miss those heavy traffic gridlocked???? I can't remember the last time I had a smooth ride through Abia poly
The video was filmed on Sunday.
He didnt cover the refuse dumps in Ngwa road by Ibere/ohanku/obuohia and Port Harcourt road.
Aba has never been a state capital, right from when Abia was carved out of the old Imo State, Umuahia was made the capital. Aba has always been a major city in Nigeria, when you mention lagaos, kano , in terms of commerce, Aba comes next. Aba used to be the Lagos of Igboland but absence of developmental leadership saw Aba suffer neglect in the areas of infrastructure. The federal government's refusal to help development in igboland just as they are doing in Lagos and kqno, meant Aba was left on her own.
Thanks for the lesson.
You're actually blaming the Federal Government who for the neglect in Aba. What should the Feds have done in Aba that they haven't done? Is urban planning and development in the states the responsibility of the Federal Government? The same FG electrified the entire Ariaria int'l market. Lagos State was denied 3 years + of statutory allocation by the Federal Government and nobody, not even the Yorubas whined about it or used it as an excuse to encourage underdevelopment in the state.
We Igbos will do well to stop trying to shift blame to people other than ourselves. Generally we Igbos have proven to be not as skilled in politics as they are in economic and commercial activities. We have a knack to selecting the worst among us as our leaders. The much criticised Muhammadu Buhari has executed much more visible projects than any Governor in the Southeast, Umahi inclusive. Sentiments aside, it's pure facts.
For a city that was left out i think it looks amazing the people in Nigeria are really ressourceful
@@lambassaakaya6207 it doesnt look amazing. It looks like most places in southern Nigeria
No Sir. IPOB destroyed Aba.
It's been a long time I went to or passed through Aba. I'm seeing some improvement in your video, because I knew Aba for bad roads and flooding
Even at their worst, Aba’s roads weren’t that bad compared to other cities in Nigeria.
Aba just got bad rep because Igbo people like to call out misgovernance publicly.
You took a good decision visiting Aba in the dry season, come raining season you will need a flying boat. Hence all drainage paths are blocked or not inter connected for continuous water flow.
Thanks for showing my birth place. I am a member of the Aba 1 group. Born and raised at Ngwa road near Ohanku road. During the Kekere boys era. Attended Our Lady's and then Saharco. Thanks for the good job. Please dig deeper and do Amanmonwu and Ngwa road area also.
You are welcome brother
When are going to Benue state?
I thought they Said Aba is a very dirty city... It looks nice..!
The Nigerian definition of what is dirty and clean is of a lower standard than most
he chose the area he wanted, let him take us to Ariaria "international" market, ngwa road market, always flooded because of trash that are never cleared.
When people go to the market, and it rains they get stocked in their stores because they cannot go home For flood.
The size of the mosquitoes here are the sizes of birds. Dohe chose the area he wanted, let him take us to Ariaria "international" market, ngwa road market, always flooded because of trash that are never cleared.

Did he just say Aba is part of Niger delta? mshhh, Anyway, he chose the area he wanted, let him take us to Ariaria "international" market, ngwa road market, always flooded because of trash that are never cleared.

Thanks for watching
Big commercial city with terrible governors,imagine driving in Aba during the rainy season
I thought they said Aba don't have road, am seeing another different story here.
I didnt see azikiwe rd, i dudnt se east or park rd, or faulks rd, or Ehi rd
Good
Aba was never a state capital but rather the economic nerve center of the old Imo State. Aba is a very strong commercial and industrial city. Abia State is Niger Delta.
The japan of africa,but there governors no dey try shaa
This is my city, enyimba city at least things have changed unlike the Aba we use to know before the current government is trying,the former governor really kill the state,love your video man
What part of ABA have this Road plz
How could people be posting rubbish pictures of Aba calling it a dirty City?
Or is this not the same Aba of Abia State? This is beautiful
Because the coverage was aimed at the neat areas. Maybe paid by politicians to package them. Aba is dirty and swampy especially in the rainy season.
Lol! So u have seen Aba now!
@@chukaobiadi8118 You're wrong Bro! Does it mean those areas he covered are still not part of Aba?
@@rtdmyrs8030 Yeah, and it's beautiful compared to how people do share the photos online tarnishing the image of the city
@@chukaobiadi8118 go and confirm for yourself Aba is now better than before
Aba was never a capital city been it old IMO or present day.great vlog
@@imembacrystal4954 exactly bro
Aba's reputation is far below it's outlook
Bro how can someone buy land in such places??
You are very correct ( old ) PH town planning was designed and implemented by the colonial authorities . Aba lacks enforced town planning. Onitsha has few districts that where planned by the colonial Fegga, American quarters , and GRA. The network of roads in these districts says alot.
Aba looks better than portrayed. More work needs to be done. To get to worldclass standard in current Nigeria, magic has to be done. Cities especially important and commercial ones should have mayors to cater for its citizen. The current structure of Nigeria is flawed because every development is vested on the tiny capital cities. Thank you for showing a positive image of this often derailed city.
More video
your channel looks like transformed many drives these days . no more videos like you used to do originally
keep enjoying creating and looking for original ideas
I'm a versatile creator, I'm always open to new ideas. Thanks man
@@ebohmedia2459 you should try to find your own self content broth !
keep up the efforts !
cheers
You kinda sound bitter man, do you know J.Utah on TH-cam ? TH-cam is a big platform, we will all be alright, one love man ✌️
👍👍
Not a single street light, chaii, my people are terribly suffering in darkness, why wouldn't there be crimes everywhere.
are you sure? don't say what you don't know o
Did you watch the video? Or were you expecting to see street lights on during the day???
There are street lights and there are some huge dual roads that surprisingly do not have street lights and that is dangerous.
No a single fly-over in Aba, but how can someone compare Aba with Onitsha. Is there anywhere in Aba, that has four lanes? Is there any 🌉 bridge in Aba?
@@CONSIDA514 flyover is now what makes a city better than the other? dude grow up
Where is Ariaira?
It's a lie... right from when Abia state was created Umuahia is the capital of Abia State. But I think Aba was already a commercial city in the Eastern region before the creation of Abia state.
I said, I heard so but not sure if it was a capital before, thanks for the correction though.
All i can say is that, Aba is getting better. But don't travel to Aba during rainy season, but if you want to travel to Aba make sure you have your ☔ rain boot. Maka mmadụ igwu mmiri waterside.

Eboh we are still waiting for Mbaise video 😅
Good job guys. This has dispel other stories I always hear of how bad Aba has turned to. From those news I heard a lot like there no good roads in Aba town and those kinds of things. But I can see good roads in this video inside Aba town contrary to the news circulating in the internet by some TH-cam guys. On the other hand ,I will advise you to do good research about were u want to share to the public. Tell viewers the names of the streets you are passing through and other features in the area than just driving around without much explanation. Thanks
Where is Okigwe Road, Faulks Road and Osusu Road? Please next time video these places. I lived there many years ago. Now living in London.
Osusu Road, Faulks and Okigwe road are all looking good right now.
@Igbo Amaka I thought this abusive set of Igbo people that exist to dent our image only exist on Facebook.
Anyways you are entitled to your opinion! T A Orji for 8 years did not embark on any road construction in the entire Aba, everybody in the country obviously believed Aba was the refuse capital of our nation, now you sit and watch this video and the testimonies that tell how there has been a face lift in the city and you still rant this.
Anyways mention one road that was constructed 8 years preceding Ikpeazu and I'll oblige to your argument.
@Igbo Amaka you lay curses on me and call me names for speaking the truth while claiming I insulted you!
That's a strange new one. Keep it you. Igbo Amaka
@Igbo Amaka you sound like a demented fellow. You are seeing video evidences but prefer to spew rubbish
Aba city seems to have a good road network. You showed a new view of Aba instead of the propaganda from some Igbos and strangers who do not like anything good from Igboland.
Is this busy area of Aba not better than lagos mainland and other areas of Lagos apart from some estates?
I agree my brother but the main problem with Aba roads is flooding, when it rains everything good floats away (I hope that has been corrected). Markets like the great Ariara market have lost their shine because of this.
This video was done during the dry season but so far I'm impressed with what I'm seeing.
@@akendon7260 Yes ooo
Why are u stuck behind that Lexus RX 350....
He is the one directing them
Aba was not at any time the capital of neither the Old I'm or Abia state.
Abia State is a part of the NDDC. Aba was developed first by Michael okpara, the former premier of eastern region. I love the greenery and road network.
Not real member of NDDC ...
@@gabbykeys1399 Abeg park well....
Any road, you drive, tell us the name of road
I tried to but i don't really know Aba that well. Thanks for watching Ngozi.
Aba is clean now we don insult okezie ikpeazu him start to do something stupid governor
Not only Owerri even onitsha
Aba looks derelict. It needs massive urban renewal. The buildings here look so ancient as if they are stuck in 18th century. Repainting the buildings is a good start.
The best of all your city drive has been Enugu and Abakaliki. The rest need serious work .
Jisike Eboh media.
Eboh you fall my hand oh.... You know no the capital of my state... Chei
No city has better new building than Aba. Eboh shut video from Ogbor-Hill to Factory road, Aba-Owerri road to Eziukwu road. You don't expect new buildings there. Go to Azikiwe road, Hospital road, Jubilee road, Ehi road, Market road, Tenant road and you'll surrender.
@@naijawatchdog1193 Ok sir... I hear you. My opinion still stands. I have seen other areas as well. It is still lacking seriously.
@@okorojnr aside from high-rise buildings, Aba has some of the greatest buildings in the country!!!! This video did not document in any way the main town of Aba. Downtown Aba was totally excluded
Aba is better than your Lagos.
WHERE IS THE ARMY/POLICE CHECK POINT?
Igbo's have a Long way to go in terms Rebuilding and Development. The kind of Development needed can't be Achieved in the Present Day NIgeria.
I concur
Let's be hopeful, let's not give up, nothing is impossible.
Stupid with black man’s mentality. It’s your people that have a longer way to go
Una 📷 camera make sense die, nice , good city but no structures and roads are not looking good.
