Akwa Ibom never ceases to amaze me. Fantastic road networks. Clean roads. One of the best hotels in Nigeria. Best airline. Most beautiful stadium. One of the best football clubs. Hospitable people... the list is endless. I enjoyed this. Well done
Thank you for taking me to parts of the country I've never been to. Ikot Ekpene has better roads than alot of state capitals. God is your strength my brother
Nice trip and Great job sir, well done and I wish you have a nice time in my State, thanks for sharing, can't wait to see Akwa Ibom State through your Crystal lens.
Green lush vegitables, different from the north.... I love the diversity in Nigeria. Thanks to you Bigwillz for showing us the different parts of Nigeria, even though we haven't been there in person, at least we know what it's like and what to expect. Uyo is definatly a place i would want to visit.
You are doing a great work my brother. I like the way you see the greatness in Nigeria and how you help to show the beauty of your great country to the world at large. Keep Up the good and great works.
Your child (at the end of each video) is so precious!! You and Other Nigeria TH-camrs (like your friend David Nkwa) are doing a great job enhancing the Nigerian narrative. Security is of paramount concern for most of us abroad.
I'm enjoying every bit of it, thanks for taking us with you. The first LGA in Akwa along this road is Obot Akara LGA before you get to Ikot Ekpene LGA. You're welcome to my State, Akwa Ibom State.
Bigwillz, you just passed my place, the very first LGA, as you enter the very first part of Abia State from Enugu, it is called , Umunneochi LGA. It host the popular Lokpa nta cattle market which is where you saw lots of trailers packed on the highway
Well done brother. I love what you are doing. Akwa lbom state is becoming more developed than other states in Nigeria. May God bless the government of the state. My maternal state Abia state should learn from Akwa lbom state. Thank you Biggie for the ride today. I will pay you later no money now.
Thank you for driving to Uyo Akwa Ibom State. I am from Akwa Ibom but I live in California United States of America. I watch a lot of your videos online.
The road from Ikot Ekpene to Uyo is so nice. Would like to see your own drow shots of ring road 3, ewet housing, shelter afrique, Ibibio museum and city park as well as the Green park on Brook Street. Also visit Ibom icon hotel and the mall.
I'm from imo state but i must say this akwa ibom have the best roads network in the eastern region abia is just worst as hell. I enjoyed the whole trip i felt like I was on the passenger seat with you. 🙌🇳🇬
Nice job my brother, after ikwuano lg in Abia is Obot akara local government in Akwa ibom state before ikot ekpene, immediately you enter akwa ibom state, no one will tell u that you're no longer in Abia state, everything changes 😂. Akwa Ibom state has the best road network, each local government is link with good roads.
🤣🤣🤣 the Abia road must be really bad...... the Google drama is making me laugh so hard😂😂😂however looking at the whole drive most of the drive from Enugu aside Abia is good, better than most roads i have seen.
@@Bigwillz brother, u need to visit Ebonyi, u will be shocked by wat the governor has done.. i think, Ebonyi and Akwa ibom have the best road network in southern Nigeria... the worst are Ogun, Abia, Bayelsa ....
Ebonyi took my breath away, so many developments going on in that state, the new international airport, the new stadium, the new modern centenary city, the new state of the art shopping mall, the best road networks,
Thanks, Biggie, for taking us along. Some surprises: the roads are actually free of trouble (bandits, kidnappers, etc)? I wonder if the police road block encounter you narrated has something to do with that. Could it be that they were afraid of you, as possibly a dangerous kidnapper? 😂 Also, the Enugu-PH road must have been fixed recently. It was pretty bad the last time I passed through it, some years ago. Then, the roads in Akwa Ibom are good for a reason. It's the oil money at work. That's not to excuse Abia state, God's own country. Is it for mouth? ...Bad, corrupt, and shameless leaders, everywhere!
Thank you @Akrika Akrika, the Akwa Ibom road is so good and marked. Thia part of the country do not have bandits and kidnappers like up north. The police guys on the road have nothing to do with the above. They are there for peace. Will be making a video talking about my encounters on our highways.
Abia state is oil producing state as well, they are not just lucky to have good governors, that's it. The road block u met are either NDLEA or IMMIGRATION, they don't stop and search everyone
Great work my brother. Just looking at your videos, I can tell you are a nice gentleman. When you get the chance, please visit imo too. But be careful out there . I think you took the Enugu - Port harcourt express way . That's why it took you to Abia first . If you had gone through Enugu - Abakiliki express, you would have gotten to Uyo without going through Abia, I think . EDIT : I just looked at the map, you took the right road. Cos if you had gone through Abakiliki, Afikpo, and then Ohafia to Uyo, it would have taken more than 6 hours.
Thanks for this video. I had no idea that Umuahia was a real place until I watched this video. I thought it was just the name of a place that Chinua Achebe made up. On another note it is crazy that people are allowed to drive on the wrong side into oncoming traffic in Nigeria.
I want to hear from residents and nonresidents of Abia, especially the politicians, why your state is so dirty and the roads so bad that it should not be voted the WORST in NIGERIA!
@@usoroutak3050 It is an observation NOT criticism. You must learn to call a spade a spade or else you die in mediocracy or more appropriately VERY DIRTY state. You cannot tell people what to say. Have you commented against people who are praising Enugu for being very clean?? ?
Nice one, but the road google suggested was more like the second option if the first main road was bad😁... Abia state has never had it good with governors. Just dumb wicked leaders i must say!!! its my state and that bad road led you direct to my village i swear🤣🤣🤣 i don laugh tire... i have being staying in Akwa Ibom for 1 year now and tbh the state bam for road matter.
Road signage is nonexistent in Nigeria! How do they expect visitors to visit if they can’t drive around? I noticed there are bumps on the roads to slowdown traffic but there’s no sign to warn drivers about the bumps! I am better off driving in the jungle of Amazon!
All the roads you drive through from Enugu to Abia State are all federal roads. All the roads from Enugu to Abia state were built in the 1950s. I don't know if it is intentional or if you guys don't know how to figure out the federal roads. And tell your viewers the truth, because some Nigerians know how to pretend and the truth upside down: every road that connects you to another state is a federal road, especially if is a bypass just like the roads you followed. Nigerian law doesn't permit the state government to build federal roads because they are on what they call "exclusive lists." This is what the southeast is complaining about, but some pretend they don't know. They are all good at coming on social media to shut down the southeast, not to complain. Check the roads from Lagos to Onitsha. From Lagos to Edo State. They are very beautiful roads, but as soon as you enter Anambra state, you will know the difference. So any other region that always comes online to ask the southeast not to complain has no conscience and is very heartless. Anyway, the southeast is equal to the task.
@@nsikakessien wao this is nice to know. I've recently and told that there is a federal road in Kaduna state that was constructed my the state government.
It is not the government but corrupt leaders in Abia state that has left their roads bad. Akwa-Ibom state renovated and maintained their federal road not the federal government. When Akpabio was governor, during the time Akwaibom state was constructing her roads a proposal was sent to the then Abia State governor to allow Akwaibom state work on the road on the road connecting Abia state to Ikot-Ekpene but the then Abia state governor declined the offer. Anyone with verified info on this can confirm it.
