Hello everyone at @steem4Nigeria, I am glad to show forth the uniqueness of my city in this contest. And will be looking forward to see other cities too, who knows, I would want to see a different culture and place because of this contest.

Cities are different and unique in their own kind of way. Every city is embedded with rich values and histories to dish out. I will also be showing us the rich way of life of my city and the beauty in it. Stay tuned...

I live in the city of Uyo. It is the capital city of Akwa Ibom state in Nigeria. It is a lovely city that accepts people from different tribes. It is a developing city but it sure has its uniqueness and beauty.
Uyo can be seen in the North eastern part of Akwa Ibom state. While Akwa Ibom state is in the southern part of Nigeria being bounded by the Atlantic Ocean in the south.

There are a lot of things that separates Uyo from other cities, but I will highlight the ones that are my favourites.

Uyo is known to be a unique city, and it stands out because of the following:

1. Cleanliness and Ambience:

The very first thing that is noticeable when one enters the city of Uyo, is the ambience, greenery and cleanliness that comes from the fresh air within the city. The city is known to be one of the clieaniest in Nigeria

With a good network of roads and green plants everywhere, the city of Uyo makes you feel at home with nature. This exact place, is the unity park which is known as the Christmas village. It is a park that allows one to enjoy fresh air and meditate also. The Akwa Ibom state House of assembly and also the new 21 storey building is just a stone throw from there.

Come and enjoy this ambience

2. Food and Hospitality:

One lovely thing that distinguishes this city from others, is its delicacies. Uyo is a home to wide varieties of food like Afang, Edikan ikong, Editan, Afia efere and Atama. These are sought after stews/soups and it can be seen in the city of Uyo.
