Nigeria Asaba, Fastest Developing City

- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- Often portrayed as a region grappling with environmental challenges and resource-related conflicts, Nigeria's Niger Delta is home to vibrant cities that defy these stereotypes. Among them is Asaba, the Delta State capital, which emerges as a testament to modern urban development, showcasing a harmonious blend of safety, affluence, and forward-thinking urban planning.
Our journey through Asaba began at one of the city’s numerous budget-friendly hotel located in its bustling heart. These hotels are known for offering excellent hospitality at affordable rates, making them popular among travelers. From this central base, we ventured into the city to explore its neighborhoods and experience its unique blend of accessibility and affluence.
Asaba boasts well-laid-out roads that reflect deliberate urban planning. Major arterial roads, such as the Nnebisi Road and Okpanam Road, are not just functional but aesthetically appealing. These roads are complemented by streetlights and lush greenery, making commuting a pleasant experience. Dual-carriage highways link the city to neighboring regions, supporting the seamless movement of people and goods.
The city’s internal roads also deserve commendation for their attention to detail. Paved streets in residential neighborhoods like GRA (Government Reserved Area) and Cable Point allow easy access while exuding an air of sophistication. Efforts by both state and local governments to maintain these roads have paid off, reducing travel times and enhancing safety.
Our journey uptown unveiled the beauty of Asaba’s upscale neighborhoods, which range from middle-class communities to ultra-modern upper-class estates. These neighborhoods showcase the city’s meticulous planning and organization.
Middle-class areas are characterized by their comfortable homes, neat streets, and proximity to schools, parks, and markets. Here, luxurious homes stood as symbols of wealth, surrounded by landscaped gardens and high-end security features.
Contrary to misconceptions about safety in the Niger Delta, Asaba stands out as one of the region’s most secure cities. A visible presence of security personnel and strong community policing initiatives ensure peace and order. This has made the city a destination for investors, professionals, and families seeking a serene environment.
The vibrant nightlife further highlight the city’s lively atmosphere. Asaba offers a mix of cultural vibrancy and modern attractions, with top-tier hotels, entertainment hubs, and restaurants catering to diverse tastes. The annual *Delta Yachting Festival* and other cultural celebrations underscore its status as a cultural and social hotspot.
Asaba’s development has been spurred by its strategic location along the River Niger and its proximity to Onitsha, a major commercial city. Investments in infrastructure, housing, and commerce have transformed Asaba into a fast-developing urban center.
The Asaba International Airport** has been a game-changer, enhancing connectivity and positioning the city as a hub for regional trade and tourism. The airport supports direct flights to major Nigerian cities, attracting both business travelers and tourists.
Real estate is booming, with developers constructing high-rise apartments and commercial complexes. Retail hubs like the Asaba Mall, home to popular brands and eateries, are also on the rise, contributing to the city’s economic growth.
Asaba epitomizes a modern city that combines tradition with progress. Its well-planned roads, burgeoning real estate, and vibrant social scene offer a narrative of the Niger Delta that is often overlooked. The city’s continued growth is a beacon of hope for the region, proving that with strategic planning and investment, any city can thrive.
Asaba provides an excellent example of the opportunities that exist in the Niger Delta, inviting them to experience the dynamic city firsthand. Whether starting from its budget-friendly hotels or exploring its upscale residential areas, the city reveals itself as an organized and flourishing urban gem.
Oh woow,you are truly shuttling Nigeria,from lbadan to Asaba!Welldone.Later some people will wonder why Nigeria is the giant of Africa.Nigeria has at least 70 cities easily.No african country come close to what is in Nigeria.Not south Africa,Egypt or morocco.The fact that almost everything in nigeria is not concentrated in one or two cities people struggle to understand or see Nigeria.Delta state alone has 2 airports,one in Asaba the state capital and the first one in warri.lf not the fact that the state governors are even more corrupt,if they actually build their state Nigeria would have more than 70 great looking cities...Thank you.
Nigerians is not giant of anything despite all the vacuous posturing. Nigeria is
Nigeria and south Africa is south Africa, period. Nigeria has a million "cities" where
fellow citizens are given quit notice and barred from voting in their own country even as foreign loans are used to build modern railways in selected tribal enclaves to the exclusion of others.
Giant with feet of clay or a pointless, farcical contraption, take one.
@DogonTurenchi-c6y take your bigotry elsewhere, your pain and bitterness will be the end of you.
Bro you're crazy, this is nothing to compare with small township in south Africa stop talking nonsense...south Africa has world class infrastructure not poor infrastructure
@jelezulu4707 You mean the colonial built infrastructures?There are probably less than 10 viable cities in South Africa.Pretoria was getting deserted the last time l heard...
@@jelezulu4707not 100% black.
Nigeria my country, most beautiful country in African
Wow, we love what you are doing , God go bless you for showcasing Nigeria, we are waiting for you in enugu city, owerri city, Abakaliki city, Aba city.

Smallest city in Nigeria, nothing special about Asaba aside hotels
Your opinion@@joshuaukoyen7820
@@joshuaukoyen7820, you are just being ignorant of what city is, what can you say about Monaco being the smallest city with population of 350,000 people, and yet it is known to be the richest city, if you know what makes Monaco important is similar to asaba, my brother.
@@joshuaukoyen7820, you are just being ignorant of what is city is, Monaco is the smallest city in France and yet it is the richest city, with population of 350,000 people, if you understand what makes Monaco and what makes it important, it is very very the same as asaba.
@@joshuaukoyen7820Asaba is not the smallest city in Nigeria. He did not visit so many areas in Asaba e.g Maryam Babangida park, Ibori Golf Course, The GRA, Vinmillan Park etc
Wow 😳😳😳😳 Asaba is underrated
I will never give up on my country ❤

I like Asaba, it look peaceful.
Asaba has changed alot. I would like to see the ibori golf and country club.

Thanks for showing us asaba. Hopefully, you will show us Aba, enugu, Calabar, uyo, and onitsha

Not as rotten as the mud storey buildings and brown roofs of Ibadan or Abeokuta.
South south state. Igbo states are gutters they are not south south.
My city❤❤
Beautiful city.
Many Africa countries only have one or two cities they are really proud of even the so-called South Africa have four standard cities and that's all they have but Nigeria has more than 20 yeah
Nigeria has more than 50 major cities. Apart from the capital cities of the 36 states plus Abuja, every state has at least one additional city or town that rivals the capital. I will mention but a few in the following list:
1. Anambra State - Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi
2. Delta State - Asaba, Warri and Ughelli.
3. Abia State - Aba, Umuahia and Abiriba.
4. Enugu State - Enugu City, Nsukka, Oji River and Ńgwo (9th Mile).
5. Imo State - Owerri, Okigwe and Orlu.
6. Kaduna State - Kaduna City and Zaria.
7. Ebonyi State - Abakaliki and Afikpo.
8. Akwa Ibom State - Uyo and Ikot Ekpene
9. Cross River State - Calabar and Ikom.
10. Rivers State - Port Harcourt and Bonny Island.
11. Benue State - Makurdi and Idah.
12. Ogun State - Abeokuta, Shagamu and Agbara.
13. Etc.
We are not the Giant of Africa for nothing.
Bro more than 40 cities
20?you must be joking!Nigeria has more than 70 cities..Delta state alone has Asaba,warri,Sapele,Ugheli,Patani,Abraka,Agbor.These places are not small towns anymore.Anambra has awka,onitsha,ekulobia,nnewi.Oyo state has lbadan,ogbomosho,oyo,isenyi,Osun has osogbo ede,llesha,lle lfe.These three states alone have close to 20 cities..33 more states to go.😅
South Africa is in a class all on it's own. It's development is of international standards and in some cases, even better.
Kwerekwere dream on @@JulioRemaliah
Lovely
Asaba is a growing metropolitan city.
My beautiful Nigeria 🇳🇬 ❤️
Wawww very dévoloppe📊🏙️🛣️🛤️🏡
This is the Asaba where many Nollywood movies are made. Quite a nice town though I dont like the high fences
I think we have to redefine the word third and first world many cities I'm seeing in Nigeria are looking similar to local high streets in London, so is London becoming a third world country or is Nigeria becoming first world
Bro.
The terms first world, second world and third world do not refer to cities or their appearance. They were first used by China's Mao Tse Tung (aka Chairman Mao) to refer to different ideological orientations during his days: first world: - capitalist countries; second world: -socialist countries; third world- non-aligned countries. The use of the term third world to describe the poor development or decrepit appearance of non-aligned countries is therefore pejorative and unhelpful. Just saying.
My country Nigeria is where 80% of it's population does not pay tax.
Ppl still vandalize/steal (solar powered) street light and public property.
Justice system is shit.
From top politicians to LG chairman are corrupt ASF.
And the law enforcement officers 🤦🏾♂️OMG
You’re funny, you comparing those Nigerian streets with open gutters, no proper road signs and markings, traffic lights, dark roads at night, street hawkers and vendors everywhere, roads filled with keke napep with no standard public city numbered buses plying different route all around the towns/cities, no bus stops etc 😂😂😂😂😂 man just shut up. Naija has a long way to go still
When you go Dubai, you will see London as third world city aje😂😂😂😂😂
City of Asaba is beautiful.
Asaba has drastically changed from what it used to be in the 80s because there are lots of infrastructure development.l don't think l will be able to navigate my way in Asaba should l decide to go there now.This video is entirely controversial from Asaba l used to know.The natives must be grateful for the FGN to make it the capital of Delta state. In
Yea right. The same FGN which carried out the Asaba Massacre of the entire male population in 1967 under Mr. Murtala Muhammed and Mr. Ibrahim Taiwo?
Asaba looks modern and cleaner than Benin
Asaba is smaller and less populated
@@UyiosaOmoregie
Enter the Bini warrior.
Edo is far away from development
@@UyiosaOmoregie… Benin no be capital now!
@@dubemellit2932 watin Benin come b?
It looks like Abuja
Asaba-onitsha metropolis.one of the biggest metropolises in Nigerian
In Africa,it’s called onitsha conurbation which includes Asaba,oba,Ogidi,ogbunike and neighboring towns that have merged as one big metropolitan area.
- The five biggest cities in Africa are Lagos, Cairo,Onitsha,Johannesburg and Kinshasa.
Onitcha? Nor dey lie
@@UyiosaOmoregie
The Bini warrior. Ok, lets say Benin, Ikpoba slope, Station road, New Bini etc.
Happy now?
@DogonTurenchi-c6y which one is station Rd again or u mean stadium road,
@@UyiosaOmoregie
So you no even sabi your own city sef?
Station Road, Benin City, ok? Next you go talk say you no sabi Ekenwan, Akpakpava too?
Please Enugu
nice but i don't like how Nigeria is building such high fences.
Also the painting of black and white on her roads fence
If you are not Nigerian your opinion doesn’t matter
@@co7513 mumu you are a big ode.
@MostlyPeacefulNinjaNot all buildings have such fences in Nigeria but many do. You need to check out the history of a country to know why they do certain things. Nigeria experienced military rule and dictatorship from 1966 to 1999. The first coup was so bloody that the soldiers just went into homes of elite and rulers easily and killed them, them coup after coup followed, crime rate increased and firearms proliferation, this was the beginning of insecurity and fear. So Nigerians began to build high fences around the homes, office buildings etc Today we have been in democracy since 1999 but have found a way around it and it has even helped improve security around the neighbourhoods, especially what we call Estates.
I have a high fence just to seclude my family from people who will be passing and pipping. Besides, I cherish my privacy
If only these people know the amount of wealth they have they wouldn’t be celebrating this village
If only you know Asaba a few years ago,you will be celebrating this progress..
Do you even know when delta state got referendum? Do you know? You will celebrate this level of progress..
Fastest-developing city really??
Please go akure city,
Is Akure beautiful?
