@luchyl. This is my city. I know all the places you mentioned. They are prominent areas in the city. One building I admire the Ochiriozuo building. For one thing, its one of the tallest building in the city and oldest too. Like you said, it has been around for more than 20 years

That Ochiriozuo house is indeed an edifice, and with the recent maintenance that done on it, it will stay more twenty years ahead.

Thanks for this good understanding, you know many people are just bent on insulting the level grounded town of Aba.

Do you realize all their lands are profitable in that only Ogbohill is the only hill I have known in Aba, the topographic land of Aba is quite beautiful ❤️😍

the topographic land of Aba is quite beautiful ❤️😍

It is indeed. The original building plan drawn for the how Aba will be developed was very beautiful, just like a city, but it was hijacked by the bourgeoisie. The only thing that Aba needs are good hands to manage it.

@luchyl, your city is really a nice place for a person to live.

ABA is really a good place to live just that the government do not want to settle the people by building good roads and other things.

Thank you for this great post.

The government is doing all within its power to provide the necessary infrastructure for the populace, but they cannot do it all on their own. They also need our support to make it work especially in maintaining the providing ones like dropping our refuse at designated refuse dumps instead of waiting till rain falls to dump them into the gutters which will eventually block the gutters.....
