I have really head so much about ebonyi state over the years o how beautful it looks like, how development has been fast improving in the state, so I set off to see this for my self. As a traveler and a filmmaker I took note of many important facts about the state of how calm and peaceful this state is and the city of abakaliki.

Since ebonyi state is an igbo state, the most spoken languages here is the igbo language and it is a little different from the main igbo language and it is difficult to understand if your not from abakaliki.

There are a lot of projects going on in the state, starting from the 40,000 capacity stadium, roads, flyovers to the Newly constructed airport which is yet tobe commisioned.

And will tell you for free that this city has more street lights in the night. You can actually walk around the state at night because off the effective use of street lights at night.

The state is mostly know as an agricultural region, and a leading producer of rice, yam, potatoes, maize beans and cassava,
Transportation through the city is by motor bycs tricycles popularly know as keke napepe which are painted blue generally, While traveling to far locations within the state is by the mini busses.

  9. Of the 5 southeastern governors, what was Okezie Ikpeazu's achievement as governor in Abia state? Willie Obiano of Anambra- Airport; Dave Umahi of Ebonyi, Airport and an Ultra modern shopping mall; but sadly in Abia state what do we have to show for these evil men's reign for 8yrs in power? Nothin but tales of woes. Orji Uzo kanu and Theodor e Orji- initiation of entire state into the infamous Okija shrine secret Cult. Ndi apiri-api. Fulani caliphate political eunuchs.

  12. Good development. Imo state has failed to get it right with leadership. Owerri is a failed town and a glorified rural area littered with dilapidated roads and filthy environment

  13. Sani Abacha Stadium??? WTF? How many stadiums do you hear of in the North parth or South Western part of Nigeria with names other than indigenous persons. Ebonyi looks nice but the mall is a joke. What's up with the blinding multi colours…LOL.

  21. "Sani Abacha" stadium. "Muhamed Buhari" Cargo Airport?. What the fck is wrong with Umahi?. Is Ebonyi a state in the north of Nigeria. Umahi doesn't know the harm he's causing Ebonyiams with those alien names to infrastructure in Ebonyi State. Nonsense

  23. But we already have Sani Abacha stadium in Kano,it would've been better to name another project after him instead of a stadium… anyways the governor tried,I must commend him for that….the first time I visited Abakaliki was in 2008 and went back in 2021 and was surprised at the transformation,that's the kind of leaders the south east should be electing and not the likes of Ikpeazu who have done nothing but taken Abia state 8 years backward

  28. Why Sanni Abacha Stadium?…was he from Ebonyi state, or an international sportsman. 😊
    Why not " Dick Tiger International Stadium" or any living or famous sports icon from that state?

  30. Your intonation irritates me and as an Igbo person it's very very annoying. You can't even pronounce Igbo. I can slap you because of the way you pronounce Igbo and Ebonyi. Ibu ewu!

  31. Oh the Umahi-led Ebonyi government proposed to name the Ebonyi Olympic stadium "Sani Abacha" stadium. This is funny. There's already an existing Sani Abacha stadium in Kano.

    Same way Umahi wanted to name the state airport after Buhari only for Buhari to rename it "Chuka Okadigbo Int'l Cargo Airport".

    This new Ebonyi government shouldn't follow such pattern. If there's no notable personality in Ebonyi State or Igboland to immortalize his or her name on any significant infrastructure in the state, then it's better the infrastructure be built and left to be unnamed after anybody. Anambra didn't even name their airport after anyone….it's better off.

  32. So, the stadium is named after a military despot and thief?

    Sad, knowing Abakaliki people live under the old stigma/stereotype perception of being thieves. Rather than shake that off, you create reinforcements by naming a place after the thief of thiefs.
