Hello wonderful people of steemit, its my delight to participate in this 'I want to know your city contest'. Please allow me to tour you around my city.
The name of the city I live in is uyo. It is the capital of akwaibom state in southeastern Nigeria. It lies on the road from oron ikot epkene. Uyo is an area inhabited by the ibibio people.

Uyo city has beautiful sites beautiful hotels and so much more and it a secured place to live in because people there are peaceful. This part of the country is known for its oil producing exploits and considered and considered one of the best tourist attractions in the south-south Nigeria.
Uyo city has lots of delicacies,mostly vegetable based soups such as edika ikong ,afia efere, afang, editang, and many others. They also include seafood delicacies which use periwinkles,crayfish and fish as very important ingredients. Boiled crab is one of the special delicacies aside from other seafoods.

When I was living in Abia state I heard so much about uyo town so I decided that I would visit the town someday so after my senior secondary school certificate exam I decided to come stay with my aunt and uncle,@ngoenyi and @benton3, in uyo and on getting there I got to find out that everything I heard about the town was true ,it has a lot of beautiful sceneries,beautiful people,clean roads and parks etc, and people there love fashion, they all want to look gorgeous.

Uyo also has lot of busy markets where people buy and sell goods and services. One such example is mbiabong market which is located at oron road. This is a place where most people including tourists visit to buy foodstuff.

The bussiest bus terminal is Akwaibom transport company(AKTC) park .

Uyo has so many beautiful hotels but the one I will advice any tourist to lodge in is 'Ann's haven' which is located at 6 everist bassey drive (shelter afrique ) because the rooms are so comfortable clean and beautiful and they offer good services.
