I live in the City of Uyo, which is the capital of my state; Akwa Ibom. Uyo is situated in the Southern part of Nigeria, My state is a Major oil and gas production center we have over 1,265,000 population in my city. Uyo is relatively peaceful among the 36 states of Nigeria and it's beautifully rich and extravagant no wonder thousands of tourist trips daily.

Ibom Hall is a government-owned event center, it is a place of pride in my state and a popular landmark in the town. This facility was built during the military regime of governor Abbe. Its shape is like what we called "ikpoto" a native straw hat commonly used by fishermen and farmers in my state as a shield from the sun. Architect Ette of Ibeno designed these state of art facilities.
This hall serves as a prime venue for business, political, social, religious, and cultural events in my state. Ibom Hall is situated in a very safe location.

You have done a great job organizing this post with ten pictures, every photograph is amazing. I think, it is not possible to show our city completely through 10 pictures! In everyone's eyes his own city is the most beautiful. I like the flower and tree garden photography, thank you very much for sharing with us.
