The Eastern skyline needs to start changing....govt across the East should map out layouts provided with modern facilities specifically for high rise buildings... Igbos can do it, just play to their competitive spirit and it's done
One thing i love about us Igbo people, we value nature and greenery in our environments. I love the scenery, more can still be done but this is a good development
I love your high quality video production. The drone shots also helped a great deal to tell your videographic documentary story about Awka, the capital city of Anambra State. I viewed clusters of modern houses and architectural masterpieces. Anambrarians are a wealthy people who have been developing other parts of Nigeria and reaping insults in return. It is high time they had a rethink and bring their investments home in the spirit of Aku rue ụlọ. I hope to start seeing a city layout for skyscrapers and highrise buildings across Igboland, befitting of modern city skylines and the construction of ring roads, flyovers and interchanges within the hearts of these cities. For Anambra, if land is not available in Awka, space should be mapped out elsewhere for this project. It could be done somewhere between Awka and Onitsha to bridge the two cities and bring out the beauty of Anambra State.
Nice coverages..but remember awka is not all about around the express..there is other estate springing out around isuanicho and mgbakwu axis ,u can visit there and be amazed. Thanks
Any building above two-story must have lift (elevator), we should not tolerate what is happening in Onitsha. An area should be mapped out for tall buildings just like we have in Abuja here. Central Area in Abuja is where the tall buildings are.
My brother, thank you for this question. Electricity is a major problem in this part of the world. You know electricity used to be under the exclusive lists, meaning that it was under the Federal Government, but the recent change of the law allows state to generate, transmit and distribute. Any serious state can now look for investors because it is capital intensive business.
@Anambra1st son. This is impressive and many more high rise buildings will be built given the fact that there is no embargo on the number of floors permitted. I would have loved to see a concentration of high rise buildings in a designated commercial/business district. Do we have such Area designated in Awka? God bless you,MY brother.
@Anambra1st son thanks but, I don't really think that location is ideal given the security implications and heavy human and vehicular traffic around there. Can you suggest another spacious and maybe centralised location. Thanks
When you talk of high rise buildings apart from considering access to the upper levels, electricity, water supply, drainage, you must also consider fire control and escape points in case of a fire. I hope the engineers in the state considered all these before granting building permits.
@Anambra1st son. God bless you for this inspiring reportage of the anticipated multi spread of high rise buildings in Awka capital city. I can only compare this reportage with that of some aerial coverage of some part of onitsha you need to see l have since watched this episode over 10 times over again. It's that good and highly inspirational and soul lifting. You guys are really giving hope and relaxing nerves whilst saving lives indirectly. Thanks man and keep at it always. The assets investment portfolio in Anambra state is much higher than many countries in west and central Africa.
Point of correction none of this building are high rise building any building below 13stories is not high rise building they are called Mid rise building from 5stories to 12stories building are called mid rise building from 4stories down are called low rise building and from 13stories and above are called high rise building
It is good, but what about elevators and power to keep the buildings running smoothly? High rise comes with high rise maintenance and public utilities in case of emergency.
Where is a city in Nigeria? PH the most overrated "city" in Nigeria. Kano/Kaduna? lol (those ones just have roads) Only Abuja and Lagos CBDs can be classified as cities in Nigeria. The whole of SW is a joke!
There are hardly any access roads. There is no planning. The neighborhoods will get traffic congestion because of narrow streets. The government should earmark areas for major roads - 4 to 6 lane boulevards that will interconnect blocks of housing.They are having estates next to each other with no major roads separating as well as interlinking them. They should study the way it is done using Enugu as a model. Awka should have intersections running accross the Enugu - Onitsha expressway every mile at the very least. The ideal would be every half mile. This is what is referred to as a block in the United States of America. Such roads are usually dual carriage but with service lanes. In effect they are 6 lanes in width. Awka is growing so fast that without better town planning and management, it will become like Onitsha. The governor needs to appoint 2 or 3 mayors over the city.
Stop deceiving yourself this envious bitter fellow. Awka has good road networks and more roads and expansions are equally ongoing . Anambra is the most developed state in igboland
Bushman, apart from Lagos that Igbos developed in the South West, what else do you have as cities. I have visited Abeokuta, Akure, Ibadan, Ile-Ife, and Ado-Ekiti with their ancient landscapes and rusty houses. Just shut up your mouth and hide your face in shame. Every time, everything is about Lagos. Why are your other states not like Lagos if it weren't the federal government, foreigners and investors from other tribes in Nigeria who made Lagos what it is originally?
Houses are better than flats. People that live in high-rise buildings all over in the West would sacrifice much to live in Nigerian type houses. Except for businesses, including for tourism business ecosystem, high rise buildings are terrible. The lusting for tall buildings by Africans is evidence of primitivity and lack of sophistication, smacking of wanna-be-like-abroad-ism. If you're presented with the choice of flats or houses in the walk of your life, and you're able to afford any, all things reasonable, always choose houses. Even the argument that blocks of flats provide cheap and economical mass housing and solves constraints of the high population limited space paradigms, only makes the Solution case not the Preference one.
Its a shame that the Igbos can't build their own cities, but keep developing other peoples cities. Please make your home a big commercial cities first before start to conplained about maginalization, when you have everything to develope your cities. You have the interligence, u have the money, so what are you waiting for? Are u waiting for the FG?
@Anambra1st son. Thanks @osagieosarefe for your thought provoking submission. Well the igbos had hoped that Nigeria could be salvaged and made great as a real giant of the black race where there is absolute freedom of expression,association and right of resident anywhere in the country and own businesses and properties without hindrance or harassment and much more privileges. Whatever hope and aspirations for Nigeria's greatest and survival is fast fading out, thus the urgency of now to invest all hopes, aspirations,resources and energies to making henceforth igboland that great dream beloved homeland to be very proud of. All indices point towards that direction and has since taken off. By God's special Grace and blessings we shall accomplish this task.
You cannot build roads but you are building high rise houses. Is there any one that mays plans that will keep people save? Hopefully it stays up. I am pretty sure there no emergency rescue services in your country. Should a high rise building collapse, it would be very disastrous.
@DtourDtour Don't say things that you can not substantiate. Igbo people seem to be full of it. And you are quick to anger instead of providing reason. You can not force people to believe you. Learn not to be boastful but speak with reason.
The Eastern skyline needs to start changing....govt across the East should map out layouts provided with modern facilities specifically for high rise buildings... Igbos can do it, just play to their competitive spirit and it's done
The governors will not do it because they don't have visions. They always do things in old ways .they don't want to change with modernity
Apart from part of Lagoo state and Abuja, no any other state in Nigeria is more beautiful than igbo land, my name is Kunle
Only Enough is nice. The rest can't be compared to some state capitals in the North.
One thing i love about us Igbo people, we value nature and greenery in our environments. I love the scenery, more can still be done but this is a good development
Not Anambra.
Government should create a place where people should build structures not less that 10 story

Beautiful city. Awka is the fastest developing city in Nigeria aside Abuja

Thanks
Anambra is the most developed state in igboland and Awka is the fastest developing city in Nigeria aside Abuja
l am not from the east but from what l have seen on youtube,l prefer Anambra state and calabar in that part of nigeria..
Thanks bro
Gradually we will get there. Thanks for always updating

How will they source frequent electricity to power the elevators?

@@nwanyaaugustine608 they have removed it from exclusive list
You are right. What it means is that any state can generate, transmit and distribute electricity.
Awka need more like the way Asaba has it
Awka is trying but asaba is giving high raise building already ❤❤❤❤
The video is bright today

Pls while we build we should plant more n more trees for beautification 🎄...
Parks and industrial area should be map out for industrial
Anambra 1st son please try to visit Mgbakwu, let me see the development of the area cause I have a property there, and I don't base in Nigeria

NICE ONE.
Thanks!
If anambra people will bring in 20 percent of their in Lagos &Abuja there will be no space I n Awka.
Nice video
Thanks
Hope there's a life section there?
It is good, but what about elevators and power to keep the buildings running smoothly? High rise comes with high rise maintenance and public utilities in case of emergency.
There's provision for that
Awka still has a long way to go. It's looking like a town not a city like.

@@onyiiilo378you got it right.
Is this Awka or onisha. I don't understand
