I went to school in Ogbor Hill, Girls High School - I hated it! But I also used to be a participant on an NTA Aba quiz show called Take a Chance. Those were the days...
Not the prettyest or tidyest town I have stayed in (same for all Nigeria) but I was generally well received & well treated there (early 1990's). Problem with all Nigeria is they let themselves down with too much 419: endemic graft & corruption, bribery & dash - it is their downfall & disgrace. Otherwise they would be a truly great country. Very hard for honest people. Not a place to be if you don't know how to take care of yourself.
@nobertkerry I agree about the dirt , uncompleted buildings, corruption poverty & chaos but I knew some good and dear people there so I have mixed feelings including nostalgia. - But NOT hatred.
Good to see Aba again after a long while, see commercial motorcycle (okada) that causes a lot of havoc for other motorists, Chei Aba. Nothing like right of way, I really miss Aba. Wish i could see more posts
Thanks for posting this video which has taken me to nostalgic moovements. I was a medical doctor working in aba then imo state in the year 1983 to 87, It was a wonderfulcity with so much vibrancy music and colours and funloving people. i miss aba and i miss nigeria. just for curiosity can you please post the videos of aba oweriiroad,starpapermillarea.unos hospital in kamalu road.ariara market.enugu road if you can DR Reddy
