Introduce your city to help give it a geographical location.

The name of city is Aba and it needs no introductions but if I must introduce it, I will say that my city is located in the eastern part of Nigeria, Abia state to be precise. Aba needs no introductions because it is an ancient city since the era of slave trade during which it served as commercial hub of the country. Aba it's one city with so much history, the Aba women riot of 1822 during which the women of the city stepped up against over taxation and corruption.

what are those top three (3) remarkable things that distinguishes your city from others

  1. My city is called the Japan of Africa that because people come all country in Africa and beyond to buy made in Aba goods ranging from made in Aba bags , made in Aba caps, made in Aba shoes, made in Aba belt and so on.To top it all Aba has the landmark of the second biggest market in Africa, the Ariaria market which host more than one million shopsand other commercial centers like the ahia ohuru market, shopping center, good morning market, ehere market, Kent market, afule market, ahia nkwo market, only but a few to make Aba stand out amongst equals.

  1. Sports
    Aba is the home football in Nigeria having in the past produced the likes of jeje okeocha, the likes of kalu nwankwo, kalu Uche, Ndubuisi, utaka and present the likes of Samuel chukwueze who plies his trade in Spain all where scout from Aba which is the home of the most decorated football club in Nigeria national and international with an iconic stadium. Aba is more popular than some states in Nigeria as a matter of fact, so it's my pride.

3# Hospitality and Serene Environment is top notch
The state slogan is "Gods own state" that suggest that they are God fearing people and by so a very hospitable people who loves their neighbors regardless of their religious statues and their views. Aba is also known as enyimba city meaning the elephant city.

Yes I know that my city has benefitted and will continue to benefit from it because it still remain the trade tourist center of the nation and beyond, so my great city of Aba still remains relevant and undisputed when it comes to commerce and industry.

Thanks for reading and commenting on my post

Thank you, @stanley52 for participating in this writing program organized by the Steem4Nigeria community.
We call it "Aba made" products and truly, the City of Aba should be labeled the individual hub of Nigeria, they are able to mimic a lot of products and are very ingenious. What Aba can't do almost does not exist. While some Aba made products are inferior they also make products that are exceedingly superior.
