Boss you haven't posted Uyo yet
Looks amazing..β€β€β€β€
Calabar is so beautiful
What a lovely city. Been there a few times and just love the vibe. Iβm sure Uyo is similarly beautiful. Beauty and cleanliness is a CULTURE there and both CRS and Akwa Ibom should work hard to make themselves our no1 tourist attraction for both Nigerians and foreigners. God Bless CRS. God Bless Nigeria β¦.from a proud Lagosian. β€
The weather in calabar give me that European vibes i so much love it
Good job. Thanks for the promotion.
I was in Calabar over the weekend….I am still very much in love with my city; clean, green and serene.
Beautiful and serene city, however, the first hospital in Nigeria is Sacred heart hospital which was built in Abeokuta in 1885.
The First secondary school is CMS grammar school which was built in 1859 in Lagos.
The first post office was built in Lagos in the year 1856.
Good content about the beautiful city of Calabar.
However, Calabar is not the first Nigerian city to have a secondary school. The first secondary school in Nigeria (CMS Grammar School) is in Lagos. Hope Waddell Training Institute, Calabar would be No 5 on the list of the oldest secondary schools in Nigeria, with the top 4 all in Lagos.
I am not sure about the first hospital either. I am aware that the first hostipal in Nigeria is in the ancient city of Abeokuta.
You might also want to double check for the details of the first Nigerian librarian.
Thanks πππ that's is my state
The entire Lagos State and western Nigeria was a thick tropical jungle inhabited by these creatures πΉπΊπππ¦π¦§π¦ππ¦§when Calabar was already a thriving metropolis teeming with enlightened people. Today, after so many governments and people came together to develop Lagos, a certain greedy and lazy people want to claim everything for themselves. I remain a proud Calabar man for life π
Calabar has everything Lagos has and more. Why has Cross River state not built a Deep Sea Port. With a modern Deep Seeport in Calabar, Cross River could attract all the shipping business revenue from the Southeastern States and River State and even the neighboring Country of Cameroon. Cross River has lots of natural and geographical resources and attributes. Calabar is not only a tourist city it could also attract lots of blacks from the diaspora emulating what the Countries of Ghana and Senegal are doing to attract all black in the Diaspora. Nigeria is far way behind in attracting tourism and big foreign revenue that tourism brings to a country. Nigeria needs business minded leaders.
They need some big buildings in the city, office spaces and hotels. The coast line as well. The government needs to sell the city and its potentials to investors.
One of the ways u know a purposeful president is that he prioritizes a state like Calabar as a catalyst to accelerating Nigeria's tourism drive and industry.
But sadly, 9 months into his tenure, he hasn't even visited Cross River state. Shame
